Back In BUSINESS!

Hey y'all!

(www.chickensmoothie.com)

Long time no see, eh?
The reason for lack of posts has come from the fact that I haven't been able to use a computer regularly since I didn't have one (and my school blocks me from using this program), but now I'm back on track with a new computer, which will hopefully not blow up like that last.
But guess what? It's summer, and that means more regular posts anyways!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
I'm out of school now, but I still have to go to graduation to see my friends look all fancy in their robes, and I probably won't start writing much more that this until next week.
Gotta get my crap/summer assignments together.

But until then have a good whatever you're doing (vacation/summer break/ enjoying winter for all of you living in some places), and I write soon.
(P.S While I was on this hiatus, I LEARNED TO USE THE SHIFT KEY INSTEAD OF ALWAYS USING CAPSLOCK! But of course for that last sentence I used the caps lock button, so...maybe less progress than I thought...oh well. I tried.)

Explosions All Around Me

What's even going on?



This Kid is Alright

If you asked me right now, I'd have no idea.

My weekends are starting to just become whirlwinds of emotions separated by music, people staring into your eyes, frantic and desperate hugs, traveling, unhealthy snacks, and noisy explosions.

Simulated by yours truly, either scaring the crap out of people or making them more confused.

(www.sploid.gizmodo.com)

Yeah.

And while March is usually a bad month for me (I get tired of winter and the delay of spring, of testing, and basically of most people), it's starting out well.

I'm going to be missing more school, but that's okay.

I'll get to travel more, which is okay.

I get to do what I love, which is okay.

And I get to be with the people I love, which is the best.

So maybe life is just one big explosion. Chaotic, out of control, dangerous.

But it the same way exhilarating and frighteningly beautiful.

Ponder that for a bit, okay?

Mashed Potatoes

There are three things that I will consume as fast as I possibly can in as few spoon-fulls as I can shove in at a time. Those foods are...
-Nutella (obviously)
-Hummus
-MASHED POTATOES!

(www.deliciousasitlooks.com)

As I have probably mentioned before, mashed potatoes are my version of peace food. They're nice, non-threatening mounds of fluffy goodness, filled with butter and starch. Anyone can eat them, unless you're vegan, and then you can just use vegan butter and your choice of non-dairy milk to make them. They're comforting (at least to me), and you can make them how ever you want.
Seriously, one time at a forensics meet I got a portion the size of my head. AND IT WAS FANTASTIC! However, I don't recommend the mashed potatoes at your school, because if they are anything like mine, they remind you of a mix of cardboard and wood glue. But maybe your school has amazing food and chefs and you love them.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

BUT WAIT, WHAT IF I DON'T WANT TO EAT MY MASHED POTATOES ALONE IN MY HOUSE AND WATCH NEW GIRL ALL BY MYSELF, ALONE?
Share them with your friends, family, pets (well, maybe not the best idea), teachers, neighbors, your enemies (hopefully so they won't be your enemies anymore!), and anyone else.
Just do it.
Yep, all I wanted to say for today.

Actually,this picture really turns me off in the hunger department.
That's what I really wanted to say.

Just Being

"It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone."

-Marilyn Monroe

 

Sometimes I'm just sitting on the bus with a friend, too tired to do anything in the morning. Sometimes I'm just quiet in class, but I'm around some of my friends. I can go to a restaurant and get a coffee with a relative and just relax, and we don't have to speak. I just like being with people, and even though I don't always want to socialize or be my outgoing self, I can sit in a crowd, on the subway, in orchestra, and just enjoy the fact that I'm around people who care about something.

I just wanted to share for today.

YAAAAAY SHARING MEANS CARING!

Okay, I got to go.

Friends for Thought

Hey everyone.
I know that yesterday I posted about some of my thoughts, but this is one I have for today.
Okay, so I was looking through other people's blogs and stuff, and I found one and started reading.
It turned out that the blogger and I had a lot in common, especially with art, music, and books, which was really cool, and I was going to leave a comment about this.

(www.hdwallpapersarena.com)

But then I didn't because I felt bad and thought that she would think I was only writing this so she would read my blog.
This started me thinking, however.

(www.asiasociety.com)

What if your friends really loved everything you do/like?
I mean, the reason you become friends with someone usually starts with a similarity between two people, and this gives you something to talk about. But if that person likes everything you do and agrees with everything you say, you really wouldn't want to be with them sometimes (or really at all), because there wouldn't really be a point to your relationship.
You're would almost be interacting with a copy of yourself, which you already sort of do in your mind and thoughts everyday.

(www.wirdou.com)

So that'd be really weird.
I realized that all of the friends that I have are all different, and I love that about them. Sometimes I don't agree with what they say, and that makes me happy in the long run, because it shows that they have their own voice and they aren't going to go along with what everyone else says, including what I say. They have a unique talent and personality, which makes them fun to be with and allows us to brainstorm and overcome conflicts and challenges.

(www.phillyspacefinder.com)

And I really appreciate it.
So I guess this post is sort of sappy, but I really mean it, that I'm glad all my friends are their own person because it makes my life and the lives around us better.
Ugh, I hope this wasn't too weird. It was just me thinking really late at night.
DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPP!
Hahaha that feels much better.
So quote for today.

"An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind."

-Buddha

That ends this post. Goodnight world.

 

 

Weird things You Do with Your Friends

Hey, stuff happens. But your friends are there, and you do whatever you can together to make the time pass faster and to make it worthwhile.
Like this.

Hey, I don't judge.
So I felt like writing about all the weird things I do with my friends. Except I'm gonna change their names for their privacy. Also, I like using random names.
1. The "Ting" Head Touch
Okay, so one of my alter-egos is name Ting (long story that I'll explain some other time). Well, when my friend Latifah*found this out, she got really excited, and now when she sees me in the hallways, we both freak out, run towards each other, almost touch our heads together and yell, "TING!" like one would if trying to imitate a bell. It's pretty awesome, and everyone else sort of stares awkwardly and wishes they were us. Okay maybe not, but that is their problem.
2. ER MER GERD
So everyone knows about the meme, but I'm fluent in the language. I speak it, but am also able to text in it. So I started using it all the time, and now my friend Monique* speaks it too, and we talk to each other. People freak out, and of course the cool ones join in, and it's like we have our own weird little nation. Well, I guess a nation of people who can't talk right since their mouth is messed up or something...

3. Mexican Rainbow

Okay, so when I joined Ski Club in 8th grade, I began riding coach buses a lot. Then one time, there was this one that had a rainbow on the ceiling, and for some reason I thought it looked like those Mexican blankets with the colors and stuff (obviously that was a great description :p), so I yelled out, "MEXICAN RAINBOW!" And it became sort of a joke.

But then this year, I started riding more buses for forensics, and I looked up at the ceiling on one morning and yelled, "MEXICAN RAINBOW" and got really excited and happy and started laughing, and after explaining it to some of my friends, they thought it was funny. So now when we get a Mexican Rainbow Bus, Latoya*, Shaniqua*, and I scream, "MEXICAN RAINBOW"! And it's great.

Fun Fact: I once found part of a wine cork on a Mexican Rainbow Bus.

4.Chipotle

You know how when you're with your friends all you talk about is Chipotle? And when people are like, "What's a Chipotle?" your posse is like, "OH NO YOU DID-N'T!" and you talk about the joys of huge burritos and happiness and all the fillings and how awesome it is. And then when you are in D.C but you're not supposed to leave the National Mall but there is a Chipotle just three blocks away everyone whimpers and heads towards a food truck because you really don't want to get in trouble? Oh, you don't? Huh..... that's weird...... I guess you and your friends don't have something special.

5. Awkward Stuff Happens But It's All Okay

Like when your friend sews your shirt onto you, or you check each other for food stains, or you pick them up when they are passing out in front of the vending machine.

There's brushing crap off their butt after sitting in the grass, shoving stuff back into their pockets, fixing other clothing malfunctions, sleeping in the same bed in hotels, or eating pasta out of glasses at midnight.

It's pretending to be a mermaid while flopping around on a rock in your swimsuit and singing a song from Aladdin and not from The Little Mermaid (sorry, I swore it was "A Whole New World"), finishing sentences, lending clothing and swimsuits, and falling down on your face.

But's it's okay because these things happen and your friends are there and you'll always remember it.

(www.shenkitup.com)

So appreciate your friends if you don't realize how special they are and be glad you have them.

Quote for today!

 

 

Thanks to C.S Lewis.

Okay that's all for today. I gotta go eat ice cream or something.
