I deserve glitter. All three nail polishes set me back R15. Thrifty is the word.
Finally went to that interview. It looks promising. Now really must make a plan for a new laptop.

A Little Wish List...
Confession: I haven't been to the movies this year, which means that the list of movies I want to see just keeps getting longer. I might run out of parchment soon. These are few of the movies I can't wait to see and some of them were released last year. All synopsis are my understanding of what the films are about so excuse me if they don't read like Wikipedia, okay? Okay.
1. The Bling Ring
I remember watching some reality show on E! while I was babysitting for my mother's friend's kids in 2010 and the star's kid sister was in court for breaking into famous people's homes. The Bling Ring is a Sofia Coppoala film based on those events. A groupd of young LA kids track famous people on social networks in order to know when their homes are empty in order to break into them, steal their shit (and maybe take selfies?) Say they take selfies in their closets! It's supposed to star my buddy, Emma Watson. I can't wait to hear her American Accent.
2. The Perks of Being a Wallflower
I'm pretty much waiting to read the book first on this one and having absolutely no success. I'm not sure what it's about but I'm hoping to learn the pros of being a wallflower I may have missed in the last 21 years of living as one. It also stars Em.
3. Spring Breakers
Fun fact: Selena Gomez is my fav Disney star after Raven. I loved Alex Russo. From what I understand a group of girls want to have a "super" spring break but are too broke. They decided to rob some people for the money. Whether or not they come to this conclusion before or after they meet James Franco's character is also something I'm not sure of. Look at James looking like 8 Mile gone wrong. SMH. Also, I just realised that this poster might not be in English. Ah well.
4. Silver Linings Playbook (it's also not in English, I'm on a roll)
I think it chronicles the amount of love people have for an American Football team but mainly it deals with this dude (played by Bradley Cooper) who loses his shit, meets this woman (played by the JLaw) who may or may not have been slut-shamed in her town. Anyway, they help each other, fall in love and Bradley Cooper's character's dad is Robert De Niro. It's hopeful.
5. Celeste And Jesse Forever
I go into this one with a lot of baggage. I actually saw the trailer last year and was very pissed that they were in the middle of a divorce, I mean they're so cute together! Celeste and Jesse Forever is basically about this young couple who decide to get a divorce (creep their friends out by not hating each others' guts) even though they still care for each other. Sad right?
6. Ruby Sparks
Another stroke of genius from the people who brought you Little Miss Sunshine (weep here.) From what I know the movie is about a writer dude who invents a young woman named Ruby Sparks for his next manuscript (or to keep himself inspired) and one day she comes to life. Is he going mad? Is Ruby Sparks real? Has he willed her into existence? I don't know! But they make a cute Indie couple.
As you can see I know next to nothing about all this films but the liker of things in me is convinced that my life's being wasted by not watching them.
I'm also yet to watch my favourite movie of all time: 500 Days of Summer. I know exactly what happens in this one :-)
What movies are your on to-watch list?

Some Angst Music
I feel like I have to preface this playlist by saying that though this is called "the teenage years" it's actually just the songs I listened to a lot in high school between the age of 12 and 16. Some were my favourites, others were great for belting out while sitting around with a group of classmates. I used a number of "lyric" videos because I don't like VEVO and ads. You don't have to keep your eye on the screen while listening but I urge you to look and listen while track nine plays. It's one of the classic videos of the last 25 years by and icon. "A Burning House of a Woman" and I loved her. So year. I made you a cassette from my teenage years. I hope you like it. I may have been a stalker creep type, if these songs are anything to go by...
Playlist:
1. Hot - Avril Lavigne
2. Photograph - Nickelback
3. Rockstar - Nickelback
4. Just Like A Pill - Pink
5. Hazel Eyes - Kelly Clarkson
6. Homecoming - 'Ye
7. You Belong With me - Taylor Swift
8. My Boo - Usher & Alicia Keys
9. Ngiyak'saba - MaBrrr
10. Waiting on The World to Change - John Mayer
Happy Monday!
