Interior Design :)

  Hi guys! You know how me and Addie love interior design? Well, this whole post is gonna be about it. Enjoy!!!!!
This chair is so cool! It looks like it was made from old pipes.
I think it would look good in an industrial loft apartment.
I would love to have this chair!
These chairs are super modern, and are a very bright yellow.
They may be a little too short and modern for a more traditional space,
so I would put it in a modern living room.
Egg chair! Love it! you can never go wrong with one of these!
I especially love bright red egg chairs. I have no idea why, but they are
fun chairs, and could totally see it in a kid's room.
I think these chairs are super cute! I like the orange one alot,
but I think the green one would fit better in my room.
These again would look pretty good in a children's room, or even a tween or teen.
I love, love, love, love love this table! It is so creative. I really love the
color, even though I'm not a huge fan of red. The table legs are so cool! It looks almost
as if the table was suspended in air, and the paint was still dripping off the sides.
I would put this in a contemporary space, and maybe with that industrial looking chair.
Believe it or not, but this table is made completely out of silverware
(and maybe some glue). It's very cool. At first, I thought it was paper or tinfoil,
but duh, how would it hold? Anyway, pretty modern and cool.


Hey guys, Addie here. I just wanted to show you something I thought was cool. It's a built in chair in a library! Very modern looking, and yet it could be super cosy with a pillow or two. Perfect for peeps who love reading like me!



I really like this bed, and especially the colors. First of all, I
think this could be one of those beds that can spin (I said I think. I'm not sure, though)
which is pretty modern. I also love the blue and gold colors
together --- reminds me of a peacock kind of, which I love.



Alright everyone, last picture. This is a cool lamp made from a Chinese food
carry out box (nonflammable, I hope). I really like Chinese food, so this lamp is one of my
favorites. I also like the color lime green. I think it would look good in many rooms too.


I hope you guys all enjoyed my post (and a little bit from Addie)! I'll try to
post more often than I have been doing. Thanks for reading my post,
 and remember, stay random!

Random Tuesday

Hey guys, more random Tuesday! Today is kind of short notice and I need to go soon, but here is a picture of something really cool I saw at Pier One Imports. It's these rocks that are painted different colors and then engraved with words! It would be a great gift for a friend or a family member this year!


Cool, right? so i was thinking about having a series of posts where I post great gift ideas for different types of people (i.e.: second-grade boys (I'm used to them...), people obsessed with nature, ext.) Molly could do some too. Would you guys like that? Please tell me in the comments! I'll also be putting up a poll, so if you have a chance, vote and let your voice be heard! And remember: STAY RANDOM!!!

Happy Random Tuesday,
Awesome Addie

Hey!

So hey, you guys! I just got back from my grandma's house! Are you guys sad that Thaksgiving is over? I am a little bit, but I am so happy for Christmas! I need to go shopping! I have to go soon, so a longer post coming in a few days, but for right now, please enjoy these pictures of my grandma's dog Diggy! 

Molly, I told you he was little! But he's incredibly fierce. Don't be fooled by that sweet puppy smile. He's looking off into the distance because he's about to steal Buddy's food.  

Oh, Diggy. You have your own food! 

Yummy! 

This food sure smells delish... 

Buddy does not approve of this. 

So that's how it was. I think Diggy really liked Buddy, because he followed him around the whole week. He was like a tiny fan dog or something. But this really got on Bud's nerves, mainly because Diggy was using him as a living chew toy. Buddy's pretty mellow, but every once and a while, he would growl and just scare Diggy out of his wits. Poor dogs. 



Sincerely (and sorry for the lack of quality in this post)

 I'm busy on a story right now, and it's pretty long.
 I hope you guys will like it when I publish it, though.
 Sorry that this is such a short post!!!
 
Bye Bye People!!!!
P.S. Do you like my dog? His name is Finn

More Eye of the Dragon!


So after I posted the story, I saw that the last chapter wasn't done yet, so here is the revised part of the chapter and some more! Please enjoy!


But it wasn't okay. No, it wasn't okay at all. "Ethan, people are going to die because of me!” I yelled at him. Didn't he see what was happening? “Gabby, it's fine. They'll only target you. And probably me, too. The Council isn't that crazy.” “Oh yeah, like that makes me feel any better.” “It should.” “Yeah, well, not all of us are perfect like you.” I said, stumbling away from him. His eyes narrowed. “I'm not perfect, fine, but you're not even close. Those people are going to hurt me for bringing you back to Elcaine. They need a ruler, not a silly thirteen year old.” Oh. My. Gosh. Did he just say that to me? Nobody does that. Well, actually, they do all the time, but Ethan didn't strike me as a mean guy. Maybe he was just upset. Hurricanes do that to people.

Ms. Meyer stalked into the room. “Well, Gabby, this may not be you're best first day ever, but at least it's better then mine. Follow me, you guys.” she said all of this in a very flat voice, and I had this vibe that she really didn't like us. Well, the feeling was mutual. We followed her through the hallways, and people stared as we walked by. And not just me, either. I had a feeling that Ethan wasn't the most popular guy ever. I tried to look at him to see why without being too obvious, like making him think I liked him or something. He was pretty cute, not like movie star ratio, but not super ugly. And he was an okay guy. I wondered why he didn't seem to have any friends. He probably told everyone that he met everything about Elcaine, and they thought he was nuts. I sure had.

The teacher practically shoved us out the door as everyone flooded out of the huge building. Ethan and I were caught in the stampede, and we were the last ones out. “Listen, Gabby, I didn't mean that thing about you. Everyone in Elcaine is gonna love you. Honest.” His feeble attempts at cheering me up weren't helping AT ALL, but it was nice that he tried.

I started walking toward out apartment. It felt weird, walking home to a place that I had never even seen before yesterday. When I reached the tall tree covered in caterpillars (I'd leaned on it while walking to school, and trust me, you don't want to do that.), Ethan caught up to me. “Gabby-what the heck? Where in the world are you going?” He was blocking my path. “Uh, home. Where are you going in a hurricane?” Ethan rolled his eyes at me, like it was so obvious, and like I was the biggest idiot on the planet. “We're going to Elcaine to tell The Council the truth. Duh.”

I tried to squeeze by him, but he wouldn't let me. Ethan had this huge smile on his face. I had to admit that he was pretty handsome when he smiled. “You know, I know what to do about creepy guys like you.” I said, casually examining my bag. I knew what I was doing. “Sure you do. With ordinary guys.” Okay, he sure knew how to make me scared. I was starting to think the guy was insane. Was the hurricane just a coincidence? “You SEEM pretty ordinary to me.” “Well... I'm not.” said Ethan, smirking.

And then he rose of the ground. I felt like I was going to faint! He was flying! Ethan seemed to hover just above the ground, and he also seemed to hover some other places. At first glance, he was ordinary, but look again, and his feet were three inches of the ground. “C'mon, Gabby, it's great up here.” And then I felt my own feet rise of the ground, only a few inches up, before plummeting and landing on the ground. Hard. “Gabby, just... try!” And then I tried. For a long, long time. Nothing happened. It was like I had been given one chance to be special, to be... more. And then it wasn't real. I should have known. I'm just Gabby. “Ethan... I don't think I'm the queen. I can't do it.” Ethan rolled his eyes. “No way, Gabrielle, I have to bring someone back.” And then he pulled me off my feet and we took off into the night sky.

WE DISOBEY STANDERD SAFETY RULES

The night was rushing by, and the ground swung by my feet, seemingly miles away. “HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME! THIS CRAZY GUY-” “Gabby, shut up! They'll hear you!” Umm, wasn't the point? “HELP!!” “Shut up, you-” And then we were flying over the streets and all the buildings. Ethan was laughing, and I was totally terrified. What was going on? The only thing I knew for sure was that Ethan was telling the truth... but we shouldn't have been outside in this weather! I felt dizzy. Suddenly, the dark sky itself seemed to close in on us. “Oh, great. What do you want, Lizbeth?” Who? What? Everything was confusing me. And then I felt myself drop, down, down, deeper, down. “AHHH!!”

I MEET MEGAN... AND BEN

Where was I? I heard noises... something that sounded like Ethan. And something that sounded like somebody else. “She's...she's waking up! Be quiet!” Standing in front of me was Ethan and...his sister? She had his brown hair and grey eyes, but she was still about a foot taller then him. An older sister? Okay, now I needed to focus on what I was going to do to Ethan for dropping me. DROPPING ME!!! Okay, so I have no idea what a Protector is supposed to do, but I'm pretty sure that that's not it. “Ethan, you JERK...” Ethan looked down at his hands. “Sorry, Gabby. I'm so stupid.” Ugh. Something inside me felt the need to comfort him, so I shrugged. “Whatever.” “UMM, HELLO?” said the girl with brown hair. 'Oh, oops. Uh, Gabby, meet my sister, Megan.” Megan stared coldly at me. “So you're the “queen”.” Oh, great. She was snobby. “Well, I'll show you girls your room.” “WHAT?” Megan yelled. “SHE CAN'T STAY WITH ME!” Ethan rolled his grey eyes. We walked into a large room with a majestic canopy in it. When I saw the canopy, my draw dropped. It's just like the one that used to be in my room! I thought, with all the memories flooding back.
YOU want HER to sleep in MY bedroom?!” yelled Megan, glaring at me.
What a jerk. Ethan sighed. “It's only for a while.” then he left, shaking his head. Ethan abandoned me! Megan looked at me. “Just so you know, I don't usually allow people wearing butt-ugly clothes in my room. You should be proud.” Okay, that made my jaw drop again! What was wrong with my clothes? I mean, besides the fact that they were all from Wal-Mart. But I bet she hadn't even heard of that. So I shot back the first thing that I thought of. “Yeah, well, at least I don't look like some demented version of Little Bo Peep.” Okay, that was pretty mean, but it was true! Megan looked frozen with shock for a second. “How dare you!” “That's your best comeback? Even I could do better then that.” “GET OUT!”

“What's going on here?” This came from a very different, much deeper, voice. Who could it be? But I had to hide. I didn't want anymore of Ethan's family to hate me! Which made me think; Is this Ethan's family? What about his mom back in New York? Was that just a cover? “Luke, get out of my room!” yelled Megan. So it was someone named Luke. I was now hiding in Megan's closet, which was pretty weird. Who owns SEVEN tutus? Isn't she kind of old for tutus? Maybe she was an overgrown toddler. Who knows?

"Megan, who were you talking to?" "Ethan's girlfriend" (WHAT? Is that what Ethan called me to my family?) "Ethan has a GIRLFRIEND? Where did she go?" 'Uh, I think the closet." And then I hear it open. Everything is black and then... ugh. Were we in a tree? Because when the door opened, I saw that there was no wall in part of Megan's room. I guess that's okay for people who can fly, but...not...for...me. And then it was all gone.

Hope ya guys like it! Please tell me how I did in the comments!

Pier One

Hey guys! Okay, so maybe most of you are girls. Whatever. Well, yesterday, I had the chance to go to a Pier One store, which I LOVE. I really like designing and stuff like that (so does Molly) so I was kinda over enthusiastic about it. So I walked in, and I was suddenly, like, amazed. Pier One makes you feel like you're stepping into another country, almost. It's just... overwhelming. So naturally, I started taking pictures, and naturally, the employees looked at me like I was a nutcase. Which maybe I kinda was for taking pictures all over the place like a nut job, but I did it for you, blog readers, because that's just how awesomely random I am. So here are some pics I took! (First real pictures on the blog! I know you guys wouldn't do that, but please don't steal my pictures! The camera quality is kinda cruddy too, I took the pictures with an iPhone, 'kay, guys?) I also found a giant Hershey kiss at Homegoods.



So first I went to the pillows. This place has amazing pillows... (Okay, I know how crazy I sound here. Lay off, okay? Everyone sounds crazy when they talk about pillows.) These are a few of my pictures, but not all of them (I took way too many for that!)


So yeah, I love all thing fuzzy. And this is, like, the queen of fuzziness. So you kinda have to love it.


Things with peacocks on them happen to be VERY in! There are lots of peacock things in these pictures, but this pillow is one of my faves! So adorable!


Bright and colorful pillows! Perfect for my room!


This mirror has kind of a funky, homemade vibe to it, like many of the things here. How mean of that price tag to spoil my fun. Dang.


Is this not pretty? Very cool fall-type colors, I think this would look good in a living room! Not my room, though, the color scheme is pink, blue, yellow, and grey. Like it?



I love these owl paintings! If you look closely, you can see tiny words on the paintings, which is such a neat touch! Owls are kind of something that i have a mini-collection of, because my grandfather collects them and he used to give us some. Owl stuff is pretty cool too (I have pink owl earrings with mustaches! LOL, I'm random.) 


One thing that you'll probably notice about all of these painting is that they're nature-inspired! Isn't that cool? I like the green background and all of the bright dots on the tree! So cheerful!





More peacock things! And more! And more! I really like this glass one, it would be nice... uh, I don't know, anywhere? And the lamp is pretty nice, too. The statue is very majestic looking (but does it go inside or outside? I have to know.) And that table is... the very most awesome thingamajig I've ever seen pretty cool.


And here is the most important part of the whole dang post... The Hershey kiss. I know that's all you wanted to see. Good night, Randomers. Keep on bein' random. 

Sincerely,
Awesome Addie

The Awesomeness of Pinterest

So I'm addicted.
Yep, that's right. Addicted to Pinterest. It's awesome. And completely random. Me in a nutshell, I guess. Hahaha.

And if you already have a Pinterest account, please leave a link in your comment so I can follow it! Tell me if you just made one, too. (I'm such a great role model : ) Okay, now that that's all over, here are some of my best boards in great detail (okay, maybe a bit too much information...) : ) BTW, I just started, so there aren't a ton of pins, but I still have some cool ones!

Clothes and Beauty board
My board that has clothes that I love, and awesome nails. I LOVE COOL NAIL POLISH! (Molly, please don't comment on that.) Isn't this so pretty? I could never do that... but I could try. The great thing about Pinterest is all the awesome ideas made by people even more creative then me! As I said, totally join, follow mine and give me the link!

My Wish List

This is a board where I post stuff that I really like and want to buy. The picture shows this super cute PB teen bedspread that I've wanted for like, a year. I LOVE IT!!!! On this board, I put all my favorite things. Check it out!

Eye of the Dragon

You know the book that I'm writing, Eye of the Dragon? Well, I'm choosing who would play the parts if it was turned into a movie (haha, I don't think that'll happen, but a girl can dream, right?) So Jennifer Lawrence would play Lizbeth, Gabby's friend on The Council. I just LOVE this pic of her!

Room Inspiration

So I'm redoing my room. (yes, again.) and this board is full of great ideas that I love. Try to repin some stuff if you like it! This is one of my favorites, so many bright colors! And...those... chandeliers... (drools...)

My Review of Chasing Mavericks



(I know I sound really formal and everything here, but that's what I do when I review movies. Bear with me here, people!)
Last week, I went to see Chasing Mavericks, a new movie about a boy named Jay who wants to surf this really big waves called mavericks. It is based on a true story.
There are lots of great things that I could say about this movie. It was suspenseful at times, but it wasn't really scary until the very end. I really liked the casting (Especially the guy who played Sandy, Jay's mentor.) One thing that I really liked about the movie, not as a watcher but as a movie editor (iMovie totally counts), I thought this one transition in the beginning was really neat. Younger Jay is surfing a wave, and then you see the wave and the camera goes up again and Kazam! Now he's fifteen! I thought that was pretty cool and definitely makes for smooth viewing. Even though some parts are intense, this whole movie has kind of a laid-back, California vibe to it.
However, there are also some really sad parts in it [SPOILER ALERT!!!!!] involving Sandy's wife and Jay himself. [SPOILER OVER!!!!] This movie might really upset some people, so if you cry over movies a lot, I'm sorry, but Chasing Mavericks is probably not for you. But I really don't want to harp on the bad parts, so let's just say this: Chasing Mavericks is an awesome movie that I would definitely recommend, but maybe not for everyone. Probably fourth grade and up. It does say that the movie is recommended for kids ages 12 and up, but we all know people aren't going to listen to that all the time. I would really say that its up to the kid's parents to decide if they're ready to see it, because everyone's different and you really can't have a recommended age, because some 7 year olds that I know would love this movie, and some 12 year olds that I don't actually know but they have to be out there somewhere would have nightmares for weeks after seeing it. Oh no, the negative part of the post ended up being bigger then the positive part. Oh well.
Chasing Mavericks has received mostly negative ratings. When I heard this, I was kinda surprised, because I thought it was a pretty good movie, and so did my mom. Despite the ratings, I would give this movie 4 out of 5 stars. It's definitely worth seeing!
If you've seen this movie or are thinking about watching it, please leave a comment! As always, thanks for reading!

Signing off with a smile,
Awesome Addie

A story by me, Addie


So I'm writing a story on here. Please enjoy, I'll post chapters 4-6 later!

PART ONE

THE BEGINNING

The day we moved to New York, it was raining. As we parked the car in the driveway of our new apartment- Mom's so obsessed with “cheap living” that she didn't buy plane tickets- I stared out of the window and gawked. I had seen pictures of the inside before, when we decided to move from our miniscule apartment to something a bit more “spacious” (Mom's words, not mine- I never would have referred to an apartment with only one bedroom and a pull-out coach spacious!) But the big thing with the house was that it was painted all over, even the roof, all the same color. Bright. Hot. Pink. Mom must have seen my expression as we walked out of the car, because she turned to me and said, “You may not love it now, but I sure do! Isn't it just spectacular, darling?” I groaned inside. Mom was never going to get it repainted. And I, Gabby Sariha, was going to have to deal with it. This ruled out the chance of me ever making friends here. Thanks a lot, Mom.

Two hours later, with the help of all the movers, we had finally transferred all of our furniture into the apartment. It really wasn't that hard, considering that seven years ago, when I was still pretty little, Mom had decided to “downsize” and had thrown away almost everything that we owned. If this happened now, I could stop it. Maybe. She had been on a Feng Shui kick last year, and I had to stop her from wrecking the house. (“Mom, we can't put the bed on the balcony, no matter what your magazine says!”) But the downsizing urge seemed even more powerful then that.

I was sitting cross-legged on my bed, looking at notes that my former classmates had given me at my Goodbye party. I was tossing most of them in the garbage. About to toss another pile, a shiny note caught my eye. I grabbed it and pulled it closer to me. This card was special. I read the words that Charlotte had written, about us always being best friends and about how I could email her anytime. I felt my eyes getting wet. Shaking my head furiously, I told myself not to cry. It only made things worse. I would miss Charlotte, but I could make new friends. At that minute, the doorbell rang.

“Who could it be? We've only just moved in.” Mom said curiously. I called out to her as she ran to get the door, “It's probably just someone who wants to see Mrs. Badger or whoever you said lived here.” Mom ignored me and threw open the door. 'Welcome!” I heard a voice shout. Mom, confused at first but then warming up to this neighbor, started chatting with her. “Gabby!” I heard Mom sing. “Will you please come be social?” I hated it when Mom said that. It sounded like I didn't have any friends at all.

Grudgingly, I swung my feet over the side of the bed and walked to the doorway. A tall women with very blond hair pulled up into a beehive hairdo silhouetted the door. Behind her, almost hiding behind a potted plant, stood a boy who looked like he was about my age. “So this is Gabby!” The women said. “Welcome to the neighborhood. I'm Megan McDonald. This is my son, Ethan.” She looked next to her, didn't find him, and then spotted Ethan playing a video game behind the potted plant. “ETHAN!” He looked up, startled. 'What, Mom?” “Put away that video game and say hello to Gabby!” Ethan stood up, and saw us standing in the doorway. “Hi, Ethan.” I said, smiling. I might as well try to make some friends in New York. Ethan stared at me, and I tried to resist the urge to laugh. Who's unsocial now?

That evening, when I was walking down the hall to take our clothes to the laundromat, I saw Ethan staring at me. Trying to be friendly, I waved, expecting him to ignore me again. But he didn't. Ethan walked over to me and started talking. “Gabby, you can stop pretending now. I know why you're here. I'm here to help you. There's a Council Meeting tomorrow. Your attendance is mandatory. But you knew all this before, right? That I'm your Protector? Please tell me he told you?” He actually said all of this in one breath. 'I...You're...What is going on? What is a protector? What is the Council? And who are you, really?” I practically screamed. Either this guy was crazy, or I was crazy. What was going on? Ethan smacked his head into his hands. “So you don't know. Why did they give me this queen?” “Wait, what? I'm a... a queen? Of what?” A few minutes ago, my life had been normal. Now this guy was telling me that I was a queen! “Listen.” Ethan said, “I know it seems crazy, but you are... a queen. You're one of us. Your father was the king until... you know.” I nodded as Ethan continued, even though I had no idea what he was talking about. My dad was a real estate agent. “We come from a land called Elcaine. But, we're... different. I'm a protector, and you're a... never mind. The Council is a group of people who have all the power in our land. Even over the queen. And that's you.” I just stood there, mystified. It was a lot to take in, but if this guy was telling the truth... then I was a queen. A real queen. I guess then, I didn't know just how hard it was going to be.

MY LIFE TURNS UPSIDE DOWN


When I went to sleep that night, I wasn't as convinced. Me, a queen? I'm not queenly or anything. I'm just Gabby. And, you know, there was that whole made-up-country-thing. This was probably just some prank that kids around here played on unsuspecting new girls. But still, there was something inside me that wanted it to be true, for it all to be true. I guess I just wanted to be special in some way. I had a hard time going to sleep that night.

The next morning was a blur. I was whizzing around, brushing my hair and trying to eat some yogurt, while my mom was filling out some forms and having a frantic phone conversation. Finally, Mom shoved me out the door. I walked out of the apartment, shuddering at that pink (Love it or List it would have had a field day, that's for sure.) “Gabby!” I turned around, and there was Ethan. Oh, great. “Hi.” I said as he walked next to me. “H...Hello. Listen, did I tell you that the meetings at nine? I'll take you there.” I sighed. I guessed that I should just play along until he confesses. “Can I just find my own way-” “No. That'll never work. Gabby, I'm your protector.” Oh, great. This guy had to be a good actor, too? “Gabby, we gotta go now! It's nine already!”

We got to school, and Ethan was whisked away by a couple of guys in chess shirts that were staring at me. He glared and tried to talk to me, but the other guys pulled him away. I got the feeling that Ethan didn't hang out with a lot of girls. I headed to the office, to get some kind of orientation. The principal was a confused girl who looked like it was her first day, too. “Oh, are you Gabby? Welcome to Oakridge! I'm Ms. Meyer. What grade are you in, Gabby?” “Seventh.” “Oh, now isn't that just-” Suddenley, a giant teacher wearing a pink poncho and heels burst into the room.
Hurricane.”
She breathed, panting. Ms. Meyer and I looked at each other, surprised. I hadn't heard anything about a hurricane. “Isn't it a bit... uh, sudden?” Ms. Meyer said. The teacher nodded. “Oh, but its coming. Level Five. It's a freak of nature. It was only discovered two hours ago, and it headed right for us. We gotta get the kids out. Now.” Ms. Meyer was nodding when something small and hard hit the window.
Ping.
Two more followed it.
Ping.
Ping ping.
What is that?” yelled the big teacher. “A student throwing rocks at the window? How disrespectful!” “Who cares about that? A student is outside during a hurricane! Go get them, Mrs. Blasber!” A few minutes later, she came back. With Ethan. He glanced around the room, and then spotted me. I spent the next two minutes hearing Mrs. Blasber chew Ethan out, while he sent me the sharpest eye-daggers I had ever encountered. What on Earth did I do wrong?
And then I remembered.
The meeting.
Was it real, or was I just jumping to conclusions. All I knew was that a very dangerous storm was headed our way, and there was nothing we could do to stop it. “They say that their calling it “Iris.” I felt a shiver go down my back, even though I didn't know why. Ethan caught my eye, and mouthed The council. And I guess that's when I knew he was telling the truth.

Chapter 3

“We've got to get the kids out. The hurricane won't hit for maybe ten hours, but we need to be prepared in case the power goes out.” said Ms. Meyer. She ran out of the room, probably to talk over the loudspeaker. Mrs. Blasber ran after her. Ethan amd I sat in nervous silence; he was spitting angry, and I was hating myself. Why hadn't I listened to him? Too many years of being pranked, and tricked by other kids, I guess. The new girl was always the target, and I was always the new girl. “Ethan... you're right. I didn't believe you.” “You should have. Look where we are now. A hurricane. Way to go, Gabby.” I felt tears spring up in my eyes. Now we were possibly going to die, and it was all my fault. Ethan saw me crying, and he sighed. I could just see him thinking: Oh, great. The Subject's crying. What do I do so I don't lose my job? “Listen, Gabby, I'm sorry. It does sound crazy. I'm not mad... its okay, Gabby.”

But it wasn't okay.

Hope you guys like it!

Sincerely,
Awesome Addie

Who is your favorite celebrity?

So this is where I talk endlessly about celebrities.  Please enjoy, all you awesome Randomers out there! (Hey, if there can be Directioners, there can be Randomers, right? That's what I've decided to call you awesome people.)

Molly and I both like Taylor Swift. Have you heard her new album Red yet? I LOVE it! Some people have criticized her on the way that some of her new songs sound a little more like pop then country, but I actually like it. I mean, she's 22, not a teenager anymore, and she just wants to try out some new things. Molly has been to a Taylor Swift concert (LUCKY GIRL!) and I'm asking for tickets for Christmas.

I also like Owl City (mainly Adam's older songs) My favorite song by him is probably Deer in the Headlights. Did you know that Adam actually wrote a song for the movie Wreck it Ralph? (which molly saw, and I think she really liked it.) I can't wait to see that movie, and hear the song. I already saw a really cool interview with Adam on Disney channel.

I like Selena Gomez, not so much her singing (she's good at it, but better at acting.) I really like her acting better. But it kind of bothers me that she's dating Justin Beiber. Let's just say that I'm not the biggest JB fan ever. Neither is Molly.

And I just LOVE Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, she is so cute! Her dress in the Emmy awards was just... beautiful  and I just love Modern Family! She is such a good actress for such a little girl!

So I hope that you enjoyed this post about my favorite celebrity!

Sincerely,
Awesome Addie
