Black Jack Back (Yeah this Title Was Dumb So What)

WHAT UP, BRITCHES?

(http://www.fortdowning.com/Breeches.htm)

Bet you weren't expecting that, huh? Neither was I...

It's been a while hasn't it? I really did miss writing EVERYDAY, but obviously that probably isn't going to happen again until summer, because my schedule is packed to the point where I can barely remember everything that is supposed to be going on.
But enough about me, what about you?
Hahahaha just kidding back to me because otherwise we'd have a super awkward long silence-pause....                                                                 JUST LIKE THAT.
So, getting back to old to times, a list of things that I've learned/have happened to me?
1.Cacahuate replaced tortuga as my favorite Spanish word.
2. I have become obsessed with Tumblr. I really just look at other people's posts, but if you want to check out the few things I have, click here. I don't really like my theme, but I be getting on that.
3. Being sick while playing your instrument for eight hours a day sucks. Plus, it'll get you addicted to Lemon Mint Ricola Coughdrops (not a sponsor. I don't have any. Yet.)
4. I relearned how much I hate shoveling snow.

5. I GOT MY PERMIT AFTER TRYING THREE TIMES. Too bad my DMV friend wasn't there to see me the last time....OR WAS SHE SABOTAGING ME? (BUM BUM BUUUUUUUUUUUUM!)

(www.gifsoup.com)

Naaaah she was too nice.

6. Something must be wrong with my computer because now it is extremely difficult to put pictures in Word documents or add videos to posts and stuff, which is really annoying.
7. Q: How many boxes of breadsticks is too many boxes of breadsticks?
A: 4, when you didn't realize your other two roommates ordered two boxes, and each box comes with 20 in them. So you sell them to some of the other kids from your school for all the money they have in their wallets (3 bucks).
8. Pants are overrated. Big sweatshirts and sweaters with leggings are just fine.
9.Marvin's probably not coming back. Ever.
10.TJMAXX is amazing because you go and buy a adorable yellow plastic suitcase, a robot sweater, a mix of a denim vest, a sweatshirt, and a sweater, and sometimes the employees compliment your swan pants or tell you that you should be a model. SHOUT OUT TO MY HOMIES AT MY CLOSEST TJMAXX.
11.So much snow means that one week you went to school for one day.
12. Bassoonists are awesome.
13. Wearing weird shoes helps you make friends, while distracting them from playing as they turn from blue to purple in the light.

14. I wish I had more time to read.

15.Bob's Burgers is now probably my favorite show. I have a Louise hat! I FEEL HER POWER COURSING THROUGH ME!

(www.tvlistings.zap2it.com)

Or maybe that's all the coffee I've been drinking lately...

16. Netflix is my newest fling. Been catching up on Portlandia, watched Butter, Skyfall, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Bob's Burgers, Adventure Time, Project Runway, and just about everything else they have on there.
So that's all that's really been going on with me. Send me a comment if you're feeling my vibes, or have any ideas for a new post. But I'm feeling some of my creativity returning, and that feels good.
Until next time, stay deep as the ocean and cool as a cucumber.
And wash your face twice a day to wipe the ugly away (thanks Miles Jai!)
Byeeeeeee! (Grace Helbig)
P.S Can you tell I have youtube mania?

Bye Bye Birdies.

Soon I'm going to be leaving, and this is the crazy month where posts aren't going to show up super often. I'm still figuring out what I'm going to do to continue to have something on the site, but I haven't really figured that out. Feel free to look through older posts (I enjoy the Mosquito one and the sail boat one especially, along with my gummy worm adventure). Things to do while I'm not posting...
1. Check out the free music on iTunes (new single every week!)
2. Watch Drop Dead Gorgeous on Youtube
3. Buy a Wreck this Journal (and destroy it of course)
4. Read World War Z (or see the movie!)
5. Use the computer drawing/painting program on your computer.
6. Eat Thai food.
7. Climb a mountain and yodel.
8. Create a huge slip and slide with a tarp.
9. Explore your town.
10. Go thrift shopping.
11. Doodle on your Converse.
12. Buy something that you wouldn't usually wear.
13. Call your friend that you haven't talked to in a while.
14. Go to a bookstore and read something there (I recently read The Glass Menagerie)
So I'll check up on all y'all later.

Gumdrop Village

Good day to you sirs (and not sirs), as I welcome you to my humble abode!
Well, an abode or collection of abodes I made.
You see, as the weird little kid I was, one day I found a bag of gumdrops floating around in our house, probably around three or four months after Easter. It was in the summer, and I was pretty bored, so I was rummaging around (with nothing better to do) and found the bag of slightly-softer-than-rock-hard candy.
Since most gumdrops are pretty gross, no matter if they have been open for a couple of months, I decided not to eat them.



(www.tumblr.com)
 

But then I had an idea.




(www.gifsoup.com)
 

My little eight (maybe nine, possibly ten) year old self said, "WHAT IF I MAKE GUMDROP HOUSES FOR ALL OF MY LITTLE ANT FRIENDS?"
So I did.

Aren't they fricking adorable?!?!? Well, I did have a picture, but I can't find it on my computer. So here is a picture of cat that I saw in Belize. I think it's name is Iris.
Sorry that I thought I was more responsible than I actually am.
Oh, I guess I have to put a quote....Ummmm......
"You chew gum like a silent assassin."

-My brother

He actually told this to me awhile ago and I just remembered it. It's true. I do.



(www.inventorspot.com)

Apparently they make this too. SOMEBODY'S GOTS TO SEND ME SOME!

Keep dreaming and do what you love because you never know when everything is going to end. Oh, and LIVE EVERY WEEK LIKE IT'S SHARK WEEK.



(www.theatlantic.com)

Because, hey maybe it is. I missed it last year.

My friend is deathly afraid of sharks. So I probably shouldn't ask her.

Anyways, have fun.

P.S Shark Week begins in 77 days, six hours,42 minutes, and 10 seconds from me posting this.

There is a countdown.

My Post of Relaxedness

Hey everybody!
I guess I shouldn't have said yesterday was my relaxing today because today really was. I've been reading My Friend Leonard by James Frey (which I couldn't spell for the life of me for some reason), eating gelato and salad with dressing I made (not together), and enjoying the sun and green grass. Life is good.



(www.allposters.com)
 

So today I was thinking about how magazines and such have substitutes for foods, like if you want to eat pizza, have some saltines and a cheese stick with a tomato, and BOOM! You got something that's not tasty but supposedly is just like pizza! (Rookie makes fun of that here.)
Yeah, so today, I was eating gelato and I was like, "You know what tastes like gelato and sort of has the same texture? Raw cookie dough." Except that it kind of doesn't. Like at all. Sometimes my brain is very confused.



(www.istockphoto.com)
 

Well then. I'm ready to get to work on my garden (today I beat at the dirt with a shovel and some other tools and found a rusty stake in there (?)). After tomorrow I'm going to be in a lot of pain anyways, so I  am preparing to take it easy.
Also I am still thinking of ideas of what to write, and Lafawnda is not helping. So maybe I'll get my act together and have an idea.



(www.tumblr.com)

Oh yeah, I forgot I was going to start doing quotes now. But I'm not feeling super inspirational at the moment, so I'm just going to write one that I remember.

"It's going to get colder than a tin toilet seat on the shady side of an iceberg."

-Dual Survival

That's about all I got to say for today. Hope everyone lives happily and enjoys life and DFTBA (thanks Vlogbrothers).

I really need to read all of John Green's books again this summer. I already reread Looking For Alaska, but I was thinking about An Abundance of Katherines earlier today when I was lying on my driveway. Apparently that's something I do a lot now.

Hahaha go Nerdfighters! Talk to y'all later.

P.S Have you noticed that I have been posting everyday? I'm doing pretty freaking awesome, if I don't say so myself. I need to find my gold star stickers........

Dead Mosquito in my Bathroom

Dear Dead Mosquito in my Bathroom,
Please leave.
I know that this is impossible since you are dead, but somehow remove yourself from my bathroom. Your carcass makes me cringe and I'm afraid to pick you up and deposit your body in the great outdoors for the unlikely reason that you will somehow become a mosquito zombie and bite me and it will be painful and unpleasant.
I know that it is my fault that you lay decomposing on the linoleum next to the bathtub, after I was really angry and I swatted you out of the air in my room with a towel. I watched you limp/flutter over near the floor by the sink, and with a dying breath, collapse in a jumbled bug heap, and watch as the cruel, cruel world fell from your sight.
I'm not really sure how you got near the tub, be it by cat or gust of air from the sighing AC, but you need to leave. It's really a nuisance. Think of the children you are inhibiting from using the shower and cleaning the bathroom. It truly is a problem.
Sincerely,
The Girl Living in the Yellow Room Where you Began your Descent into What was a Dark Journey to the Underworld.

 (uh,huh this is my bathroom with a tiny hole in the toilet)

If y'all didn't read the last post then you surely aren't going to understand why this one is weird. Okay, here's a gif for everyone.

Both Jennifer Lawerence and I enjoy food. Just to let y'all know.

Post with a Name that Doesn't Make Sense (Spectacular Mountain)

Aghhhh I'm freezing!
Which is weird since the air conditioning isn't on...
Good morning, y'all (or evening, or midday, when ever you happen to read this)!
I'm super full from eating a bunch of desserts from the church kitchen I was volunteering at, but there is a new jar of Nutella awaiting me on the kitchen counter, calling my name.........


(www.someecards.com)
 

Like write about it obsessively on this blog. Actually, this is the picture that captures the joy the most, along with making me snort a little when I first saw it..


(www.funnyblog.com)

Yep. Some things work out perfectly. BUT I WILL NOT SUCCUMB TO THIS TEMPATION! Therefore I continue to write.

My hair smells nice like a hot tub (it makes sense since I was in one) and I really want a shower but the water is being screwy so I can't. Okay now I'm REAAAAALLY thirsty, but if I go in the kitchen then I will want to pass by the Nutella and it will be a chocolate hazelnut-spread coated disaster. No, I can be strong. I will do this.

(www.musingsofamuse.com)

WHOO HOO GUYS I ONLY GOT MILK! I HAVE OVERCOME MY PROBLEM!

I succumbed to the Nutella, guys...... 



(www.ginormasource.com)

I...I was doing so well, and then...there it was...on the counter....all alone. I was thinking about cranberry salad but.......it was so strong....

No. I will not dwell on the past. I will work harder in the future.

So what does everyone want to talk about?

Lafawnda: (waves hand in air violently) Oooh, ooh I know!

Me: What?

Lafawnda: (slowly lowers hand) Um....sorry. I don't really know. I just wanted to be supportive since you clearly don't have any ideas on what to write and are depending on figments of your written imagination to help you.

Me: Oh.

Lafawnda: ( smug smile spreads over face) Proceed.

Me: Um, okay.....

LET'S WATCH A MOVIE!

I'm gonna watch one and talk to you about it tomorrow. Yeah. I got plans for life. Look at me, a huge winner.

Distracted

Hey everyone.
Today I was super distracted for some reason, but I just think it's because I'm thinking about summer and finals and business and work and quizzes and everything. I sold out my box of chocolate so YAAAAAAAAAY! No more guilt! Or bothering people to take candy from a stranger (i.e me, but they are paying for it anyway).
I had more free time than usual, so I was listening to music and browsing the internet and then I drew these pictures.

Yeah, all I can say for this one is that I wanted to play poker. Sadly, I have no one to play it with. I learned how to play Texas Hold 'Em in fifth grade during indoor recess, but all we bet was stuff like erasers and marbles and crap we would find on the playground.

Oh, and this one I was drawing random scribbles and I thought this one looked like an abstract chameleon. So I kept it. My brother was like, "Anything can be abstract. It could be an abstract tomato for all I care!" Whatever.

Hmmm... free time. I don't like it all the time because it just lets me procrastinate on what I could be doing like studying or working or doing something important. You end up in that weird part of Youtube and then things just go downhill from there.

One thing I do like to do in my free time is look at The Burning House, a website in which people enter pictures and descriptions of what they would take if their house was burning. I love the way that their possessions are arranged, usually on the floor, and the different items they would take. It shows what really matters to people, and for most it's different but very personal.

If I would do one, I really have no idea what I would take, but one thing I wouldn't take would be my phone. Many people include theirs (but they are always iPhones, so I guess that would be more important than what I call my "ghetto phone"), except that I know I would sort of like not to have it so people wouldn't constantly be trying to contact me. I don't really like being plugged into this world, so even though I have this blog, I'm not really communicating to anyone in particular. It's more for myself, and also to remember stuff because I know that I'm eventually going to forget.

Okay, enough of slightly serious stuff. Hmmm, we need some gifs up in here!

OH MY GOD, PIZZA-JOHN-NYAN-CAT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

This was on one of my favorite Vlogbrothers video. I like the Thoughts from Places a lot, and this one was especially funny.

(www.tumblr.com)

Obviously I could only think of John Green today, but GIANT SQUID OF ANGER!

Ugh why can't it be summer already? My house is hot and we're having water problems and I just want to run around barefoot and eat vegan burritos and gelato and lay out on the driveway and nap in the sun (after applying sunscreen, of course. Skin cancer is a serious matter, kids).

What shall my poem include today?



 

Wish I was a squid,

Sinking into the darkness,

Cool water soothing.

 

Apparently I'm thinking about squids too for some reason.

Brain shutting down.

No TIME

Okay so this is going to be one really long run on sentence here it goes okay so I don't have that much time today I was super busy but I'm trying to commit here and post everyday I'm not sick so I'm just going to do a poem and maybe a doodle and then I will possibly add some gifs, alrighty?
(P.S Spellcheck wanted to change that to almighty which for some reason I found quite amusing.)
Here it goes, y'all. Sorry about being sort of jerky 'bout the whole thing.

When will summer come,

No plans, no huge commitments,

No more hyper speed.

Look, it was even a haiku this time.

Alright, DOODLES!

My hair with hair chalk in it.
