Hit me with your sweet love, steal me with a kiss.

Hey everyone! I have some exciting updates, I need to get into. Just trying to keep everyone updated.

- New name & banner!: I changed to my real name, (which is Avery) I felt like it was more appropriate for the direction I want my blog to go into. I also changed the URL (for the same reason) to avrykng, which is basically my full name without the vowels, (very llymlrs of me, not going to deny!) eventually though, I will be getting a domain, and I think I'll change to my whole URL then, again. 

- Lack of updates? I'm not forgetting about my blog, I swear! I actually get on everyday, I just don't know what to blog about. :( I have one idea, but it's a more long-term thing, to be quite honest. So if you have any ideas, please leave them in the comments. Anything beauty, fashion, etc/book related I'll look into.

- Some post ideas? I thought it'd be really cool to do makeup & outfit ideas inspired by my favorite Marina & the Diamonds songs. What do you think, do you like that idea? What's your favorite songs by her? :-) 

I'm also currently working on a "current obsessions" blog post. It's a gradual thing, considering I'm only obsessing over one thing right now, so as my obsessions come, I'll add to the list. :D

Thanks for reading, 

Updates | Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

So I have finally finished Of Mice and Men. In short, cause I don't want to write a review on this, the story was so sad at the end. :( I didn't cry or anything, but ugh I just hated the ending.

I have 7 days until school starts back up. In this time, I need to start & finish Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. And considering that book is well over 500 pages (like 648, to almost be exact) I should have started on it about two weeks ago. I also need to do the work for Of Mice And Men.

On top of that, I have volleyball practice every day for two hours a day, and I also need to get my hair done, beg, borrow or perhaps even steal for a damn phone, and get some other things for school.

Normally, I'd feel pretty overwhelmed, but it's late into the night and I don't get worked up at night, ell unless the work is due in the morning, then yes. Haha. :-)

Haul - Back to School!

I needed to pick up a few things for back to school, and I wanted to make a blog post on what I got. Considering though that I do not have any way to take a picture at the moment, I took the liberty of finding each product on the online stores.

Back to School Wishlist!

1. Naked 2 Palette: GOT! So I'm pretty much set on eyeshadows, for the whole school year, haha.

About Myself!

So, even though I don't want to give out my real name, I still want for people to know a little bit about me.

Name: Is not Ashlind, but it does start with an A. That's why I like to sign my posts "- A."

Age: I also don't want to give out my age, but I will tell you that I am in high school.

Interests: I have many interests, I think they vary because I am a Gemini. But I'm really into beauty, writing, reading, astronomy and photography. These interests do not change.

What I would love to do: I'd love to study abroad. :D I also really want to start doing beauty videos on youtube, along with starting my own novella. I plan on graduating high school with completing AP English, AP Science and AP (I think it's) Global American Studies. And then I want to go to college for either writing or astronomy. :)

How I came up with my url: I'm currently reading the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. I've been trying to read this book all summer, and I always found the book really boring. So that's how I came up with 'ofmiceandboredom' But the book is not actually boring, anymore.

Goals for my blog: I don't have specifically any, like I'm not like "oh my god I need to get a ton of followers and have a super popular blog" but I do want to have my blog revolve around books and book reviews, beauty and fashion related posts and maybe tv and movie review. Eventually, I think I'd like to have a full domain name for this.

What I currently want: An iphone (I've gone six! months without a phone), a DSLR to further my interest in photography, and a new laptop, since mine broke over a year ago and I haven't gotten a new one since.

Figured out how to use blogspot!

Well, I did, kind of. I'm still a little confused on things, but for the most part, what I wanted to do, I got done. :D

I followed quite a bit of blogs today, mainly beauty I think, but I don't remember, haha. Some updates to my blog:

-added a banner/header
-changed the template
-messed with the layout

I might change the header though, I don't really like it, I don't know yet.

Thoughts?
