I hope you have a safe and stress free holiday. If only one of two is an option, I hope it's safe ^^
Now I am going to share my new favorite Christmas song.

December 7th
Hi! I'm still around! Sorry I'm such a bad blogger as of late. That project I mentioned a billion years ago, I'm still working on it and the deadline is December 20th, so when I'm not at work or doing laundry, errands, things of that sort, I'm trying to work on it. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get back around here before Christmas, so if I don't, I just wanted to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic Hannukkah (I've got my candles ready!)
I hope you have a safe and stress free holiday. If only one of two is an option, I hope it's safe ^^
Now I am going to share my new favorite Christmas song.

September 18th
Hello, Blogoverse. Have you missed me?
What has happened since I last wrote? Doctor Who has new episodes (which are awesome). I have internet and a new computer. I lost my Papa. I saw Mumford & Sons live. I became obsessed with KPop. Amanda had her ankle surgery. I lost my iPod and found it again.
Many things have happened. Some good, some bad, some tragic. It's ok. I'll be ok. I'm ok now. I've been meaning to come back here and write for awhile... But I've been sad, stressed, tired, etc. Think of an excuse not to write. I used it. I wanna blog again. I've missed it. I'm working on a new project right now. I'm really excited about it. It's sort of a surprise, so I can't really talk about it until it's done, but that has been occupying any free corners of my mind lately. The project and KPop. Expect to read a lot about 2ne1, BIGBANG, B1A4 and more Korean Pop bands in the future.
In fact, I will leave you guys with a video of a KPop star in action tonight.
That's Taeyang from BIGBANG (which is my favorite KPop band) doing a cover of a Chris Brown song. I've never listened to Chris Brown, but I am really loving Taeyang's cover.
It is quite late. I should sleep.
Later, Ducks.

Youth Sounds "Favors"
I don't know if I've ever told you guys this, but my friends are Pop Stars.
Or they should be. I'm friends with the creator, writer, lyricist, former drummer/current bassist of the band Youth Sounds. I've known Federico for awhile now and actually their first EP, The Bit Parts, the cover art is a picture I took and edited of my sister!
They are going to be releasing their first full length album this Fall, but they need your help.
Another fun tidbit, the album cover is one of my photos and I did the lettering! Schweet!
I'd love to know if any of you pledge, every little bit helps!
Cheers, Madeline
P.S. Here's a link to the Kickstarter. Details! Also, since this blog has just had a bunch of advertising on it lately, I feel like I should give back some. If you pledge to Youth Sounds, any amount, comment on this post and I will draw on a photograph for you and send it to you. Isn't that an awesome prize!! ;)

Somebody That I Used To Know
Hello, Blogger Friends.
I haven't died or gone into the witness protection program, January just turned into a pretty crazy month.
Not long after my last post, my laptop started acting pretty weird and I sent it off to my Uncle's to see if there was anything to be done. I was going to see my Sister for a few days and I planned on using her Mac while there. Well, her computer was stolen while in the hotel safe. Awesome, right?
So I've pretty much been computer-less for the last few weeks. I'm not going to lie, It's actually been sort of nice. The negatives far outweigh the positive, but after the first few days the horrendous pain becomes manageable. I'm hoping to save some money up and get a new laptop. As it turns out, mine is just old and on it's way out. Hopefully it will last a little while longer. I have a couple of posts planned, so I'll be back relatively soon.
Cheers,
Madeline
Oh, I am obsessed with this song:
Obsessed.

Happy 21st Day of Christmas!
Wow! 21 days? I am shocked that there are only 4 days left.. This month has felt incredibly long and short all at the same time. The past few days I've been hanging out with my friends, Larissa and Jess and my sister, Amanda. Expect pictures soon!
Have a good night!

Madeline
Oh.. Did you think I forgot to share something Christmas-sy? Haha, don't worry, I would never do that. :)

Things That Make Me Happy (Right Now) Vol. 2
It's been quite a while since I did a post like this. I thought it would be kind of neat to look back and see what I was obsessed with on my last day of teendom (and I promise I'll shut up about it after this!)
1. The show "Boys Before Flowers". I'm only on episode 8, but I have become completely addicted. I'm hoping I get some birthday money so I can buy the whole series on DVD.
2. This print from Janet Hill Studio. I actually really love all of her paintings. I wish my walls could be covered in them. Or better, that I could just live in them.
3. A Charlie Brown Christmas Soundtrack
4. Weetzie Bat & Witch Baby by Francesca Lia Block. They have been inducted into my favorite books. I read them for the first time not even a month ago and I already want to read them again. That's basically how I feel about Boys Before Flowers, too.
5. This skirt and those shoes from Anthro. I'm hoping to snag the skirt when I go on Monday! I just can't decide if I should get that color or the grey...
6. This sequin covered pumpkin
7. Crinoline Petticoats. I'm on the hunt for a red one.
Happy Thursday!
Madeline
Happy Thursday!

Christmas Waltz
Christmas is still another 75 days and 12 hours away, but it's never too soon to start planning!
She & Him is releasing their first Christmas CD on the 24th (I'm super excited. It's going to be my birthday present to myself.) and they just released a sneak preview/first listen of one of the songs on the album!
She & Him - The Christmas Waltz by MergeRecords
Happy Monday!
Madeline
P.S. If you read my FFF #4 post, this isn't the big announcement I talked about... It's still not quite ready...

Musical Obsessions
I have become obsessed with Mumford and Sons again! I've been listening to my record over and over again. In fact, I've got a skip in The Cave!
I also love this song + video. I love strings of round lights.
I'm supposed to be at work in...7 hours... I should probably try to sleep a little.
G'night!

It's empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind
The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind
So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's hand
So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say
Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be
And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind
The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see

I was listening to this song today...
It not only made me realize how much I love this song, but how much I love Kristin Chenoweth. She is amazing and adorable.
This video made me giggle
Have a great evening!

Such Great Heights
I discovered kickstarter a few months ago when Charlavail launched a campaign to start her line of aprons.
It's such a great idea and I love scouring through and seeing all of the projects people have started. The only other project I've pledged to was for Red Velvet's fall line... Until now..
Such Great Heights is one of my favorite songs and I love, love, love their cover, and it'll be on lavender vinyl?! Best ever!
I just wanted to pop over here to share my new discovery. Today is my Mom's birthday (Happy Birthday, Mom!) so I need to run. We're celebrating + doing presents in August, but still.
Have a happy rest of your Thursday!
Madeline
P.s. This is another Kickstarter I think is really cool.

Ellie Goulding 'Your Song'
I know I've been posting a lot of videos lately, but I promise that sometime soon I will do a post with some content. A friend shared this video with me and it is just so pretty and fall/winter-y that I had to share it with you, too!
