"Hard Core Fans !!"

11/18/2009 was the premiere of New Moon in Paris !!!

Like the hard core fan I am, I arrived 3 hours before the movie started !! :)

The theatre was extremely wide, it seats 400 ppl !! Other than that there wasn't really anything spectacular... just a wide NYC theatre with French ppl in it ...

Thank G. it played in English ! I don't think I would of been able to watch it in French... I hate subtitles ...I feel bad for the French ... Subtitles dont translate the same !!!

Tickets were 7,70 for students but for some reason we paid 6 euros each ... I dont really understand what I said or what the vendor said but I know I got a discount !

Overall, I give the movie 2 1/2 stars out of 5 ... it just doesnt live up to the book, not even with Dakota Fanning in it :(

Its been an "okay" week ... School + I started working ---> watching an 11 yr with pre-teen French tude :x she's a sweetheart but sometimes ... mmmm

We made Christmas paper bubbles on Wed. that was kool & in 2 weds. we are working on a scrap book <3>

I can't wait for Spain !!! Everything has been reserved !!! Seville- Madrid- Barcelona !! Here I come !!!

26 days till my Spanish Birthday Extravaganza !!

34 days till Christmas

58 ? days till NYC

Pizza Pizza!!

En vendredi, Vanessa, Katrina, and I went out for Aoife 21st bday :) The Irish Girls are soo cool ... I love their accent ... We went to this really cute bar, Barcurieux Spaghetti Bar, around the Centre Pompidou for Happy Hour. I loved it !! They change the wallpaper all the time to keep it "fresh" and they have chandeliers !!!

Happy Hour Menu:
Mojitos 6 euros
Biere 3 euros
Verre du vin 2 euros
Pizza FREE/Gratuit !!!


I was sooo hungry, I kind of "scarfed down" the pizza ... even the fishy topping one :x

Hier, it was the "debut" of Jimmy Choo at H & M !!!

But unfortunately I didn't get to buy anything because we had to be there before 8 in the morning to get a ticket and we got there around 10. At 12, the section was open for "the public" but it was like a war zone!!

I got talked out of buying a travel bag by this bitchy french lady ...qui grabbed Katrina's arm cause she thought Katrina was going to take the bag from her ...ugh I shouldn't of given it to her !!! I was trying to be nice ... next time I won't be!!
But I'm glad I didn't buy it though ... it was 199 euros and I didn't love it ...liked it but didn't love it ...

Then, again, I had pizza for dinner :( I'm never going fit into my bday dress ...

The Count Down cont'd ...

32 Days till Spanish Bday Extravaganza
40 Days till X-mas
76 Days till I land NYC

Finally <3

It took me a long time but I'm finally going to write my first parisienne entry <3
I've been living in France since Aug. 28, 2009 & its definitely been an adventure... I've met some really great ppl & some not really great ppl ... "mais, C'est la vie" ... life just works that way everywhere you go ...
Paris and I have a sort of love/hate relationship ... Sometimes I love it and sometimes I hate it ... Ever since I've been here, though, I've learned how to do my own laundry, cook, & live on my own... which believe it or not for me its a pretty big accomplishment bc I've never lived on my own before nor have I ever attempted to feed myself anything other than microwaved food ...
I visited the Eiffel Tour for the first since I've arrived, on October 26, 2009, ... but I didn't stay long ... there were rats in the nearby park :( & I was a bit disappointed ... It wasn't as big as I remembered, in April 2004, but then again neither is Paris ... In one month I've managed to get fired (for getting lost) & piss of my French professor

So, Today I start recording a new chapter ... My real Parisienne chapter ...

41 days till my Spanish Extravagant Birthday <3>
52 days till my sister arrives in Paris (Dec 26th)
86 days till I land back in NYC ... ( Not ready for it!!)
