Wheeeee!

So you probably thought I didn't post yesterday, but I did! It's a new page that I'll probably be updating eventually, but still! I accomplished something! Yaaaaaaay!

(www.theempressofdress.com)
So I still haven't seen the movie yet......but there is still hope, no? Maybe this week, but I know the theaters around here are going to be taking it out soon, so I better get it together.
I REALLY NEED TO GO TO THE LIBRARY! I'm rereading The Help which I love, but I need new books. I could use my Kindle, but I feel bad about spending so much money when I could read for free, and I rather be reading a dusty old book in a corner of my local creaking library, where the librarian knows me by name and asks about the books I'm reading and if she should read them. I recommended her The Catcher in the Rye, so we'll see how that goes. She told me she read it when she was younger, but didn't remember it well. I guess she doesn't remember all the F-Bombs either...


Man, I love Uncommon Goods. But anyway, about the book, I really liked it, even though a lot of people (mainly adults) don't. I also liked The Great Gatsby (duh), The Grapes of Wrath (I enjoy Steinbeck a lot), and Fahrenheit 451 (Ray Bradbury is a pretty cool guy). I found all these at my library, where even though it doesn't always have the newest and greatest books, it has a lot of the classics. And for some reason, like, twenty copies of each Harry Potter book, which I guess makes sense since they are popular, but still, 20 OF EACH COPY? A little bit ridiculous.
But hey, I like ridiculousness, so it's okay.
It's sunny and I had to come inside to type this since I felt like my face was burning off. Also, my butt fell asleep. I want some chilled soup, preferably mango and peach, which I had one time while I was spending some time in New York and WILL NEVER FORGET! It was so hot outside, and it was so cold and yummy as I looked at all the art at the festival. Now I want candy......
But coconut gelato shall do!
 
 

Soooo good and tropically... but you know I'm a sucker for coconut anyways.
Tomorrow I vow to post again, in typical fashion, perhaps after getting some of my summer assignments done. Heck, it may be June, but I hate worrying about crap.
A parting quote for your troubles....
"For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."
-Steve Jobs
I know that many people, including myself (the true, stubborn Capricorn I am), hate some of the changes that occur in our lives, but I just look past them to what the best result of the situation that could come from the change. And now I appreciate it, since change allows me to adapt and hopefully become a better person.
Deep diving in the ocean once again.
I want this poster so bad....(gotta love Vlogbrothers).
Catch you later.

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.

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.


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........

3 Day! (Well, Free Day)

Hey mis muchachos y muchachas!
Today I have one of my first Free Days ("There are no rules! There is one rule!" to quote Cici's pizza commercial) in what seems like months.
I guess it actually was months with all the forensics tournaments and lacrosse days and concerts and work and stuff. Not that I have a job......
Well anyways, I started my day off with the eating what remained in my jar of Nutella, and got to work in order to relax and get stuff done.


(www.bigfatartcloth.blogspot.com)
 
This is what the jar looked like after I was done with the Nutella.
Back to my Free Day, I got to eat vegan burritos and hummus with pita chips. I studied a bit for an entrance exam, fell asleep on my driveway (not the best of ideas when someone comes driving up), wore my humongous sweatpants, and danced around a lot. There was music and Tibetan prayer flags (that I made) and overall it was pretty enjoyable, if not extremely windy. Oh, and I felt like adding this after waking up from my nap.
So very, very true for interp as well.
Well I didn't really get a whole lot of work done, but that's okay.
I'll figure everything out eventually.
I don't have much to say today, but I feel like I should include some John Green gifs, just because, well, they're John Green gifs.

 
 
And don't forget about Hank!
Well, I guess it's poem time. Except I'm getting quite tired of making stupid ones up, so I might add quotes now. But not for this post. I gotta commit.
This is it,
The last freaking poem,
I got tired of writing them like I tire of everything,
I have O'D on  Kraft mac and cheese,
chicken fingers,
Tastee Freeze,
those candy ringers.
No more Tootsie Rolls
or the Swiss Misses,
doughnuts, jelly rolls,
Hershey White Chocolate Kisses.
I'm even tiring of hummus
and muffins
which is just plain depressing.
(Just like salad dressing)
So this poem sucks,
but it'll be okay
because it'll be deleted eventually anyways.
Whoa, major poem suckage. But I like it that way and I need to go practice bassoon.
Sleep tight, kids.

 
Oh my goodness, has happened to me so many times. Especially with Buster. WHO CAN BE A TURD, ESPECIALLY WHEN HE PEES ON THE CABINETS! But more on that later.

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.
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.
 
 
Monster I drew.
Poorly drawn bracelet.
Okay gif time!

Humpy Hank! Goodness, I love that. (www.tumblr.com)



Screaming Patrick! Yaaaay! (www.weknowmemes.com)

What else? Hmmmm.... LSP! I love her so much. (www.tumblr.com)

Night, everybody.

Is it Tuesday?

Hey y'all.
Sorry Tess (DDG),
I've been relearning what it is like to hack your lungs up for every waking hour in the most disgusting way possible, but this shouldn't have kept me from posting.
I hang my head in shame.


(www.tumblr.com)
 
Even though this gif brings me tons of joy, trust me, I still feel bad.
Now on to other things.....
THE GREAT GATSBY SOUNDTRACK CAME OUT TODAY! Huzzah!
I bought it as soon as I realized it was Tuesday. (Hence the title of this post.)
That time was 4:00 pm.



(www.cheezburger.com)
 
Ugh. I am now haunted by the cone of shame. But I am working on focusing to get things done!
I'm going to hopefully do my job shadow next week (supposed to be done this school year, and May makes it!), audition tape Thursday, make-up work at 10 tonight (hopefully earlier but at this rate I'm doing good unless I fall into the Werid Part of Youtube i.e what happened yesterday after I was conscious). Life is looking good.
Except for the pesky hacking cough that sounds like a seal choking on a mackrel or something.
Oh update on Harem Pants trial: I'm going to say I still was sweating bullets, if not looking super stylish, but this may be due to the fact I had a fever. Hmmmmmmm.
I also ran into a wall. But no matter. Another test will be in effect soon.
But really, I need to focus on stuff.
Banquets are happening galore, which I forgot about one being tomorrow (refer to picture above). Listening to Great Gatsby Soundtrack helps get thoughts together.
Or unplanned dancing.


Oh, gifs and John Green. We love you both.
Actually I became a Nerdfighter this year after reading John Green's books, then watching Vlogbrothers while being sick and becoming obsessed. I love all his books, along with a lot of my friends and my English teacher. We we're going to do a duo on it, but it became sort of weird since we're both girls and the narrator and most of the other characters are guys. Awkward forensic-ness.
Speaking of that, I'm super excited for our piece we're hoping to do for next year, which I'm keeping secret even though I know nobody reads this and the possibility of you being a forensicator is very miniscule. But I shall express my joy of it in gif (bascially my favorite) form.


Yeah, I feel like this basically all the time. When I'm happy. Which is when I'm not sick or stressed out or bored to tears.
I sort of wish I had her sweater. I love sweaters. They're great. I have this one I especially love called "my 80's sweater" which is funny since it technically isn't from the 80's. I'm not really sure why I call it that. It is a cropped sweater I got in a large so it wouldn't be cropped (that worked out real well. Hehehe NOT), and it's in a neon yellow/green and navy blue print. I love it.
POEM TIME EVERYBODY! GATHER 'ROUND CHILLUNS! GATHER 'ROUND!
Gifs
You are freaking fantastic,
capturing moments,
awkward, funny, or beautiful.
You do what humanity wants to do with life,
Capture a moment that you want to remember and relive forever.
And replay it over and over again for the whole world to see
That something happened, something was there and still is here,
That was worthwhile.
YAAAAY THREE DAYS TO GATSBY PARTY TIME! THE SOUNDTRACK IS PUMPING ME UP!
It's okay. This makes me smile like a maniac too. We shall smile together.
P.S Hank Green is awesome too. Google it. I dare you.
P.P.S Apparently there is a musical group name Meadow Inferno. Of course there freaking is..........
