Maybe I Am Becoming an Old Person...

Not in just the getting older, because yes, every year I celebrate a birthday (even if last year I sort of forgot about it, A REASON FOR THE TITLE ABOVE). But maybe I'm becoming more elderly and curmudgeonly. (I LOVE THAT WORD!)
I have noticed that:
-I enjoy foods that don't need chewing, such as soup, mashed potatoes, hummus, oatmeal, pudding, ice cream, etc. Further evidence of this is all over this blog.

(www.snottingblack.com)

- As mentioned above, I forget things. Really, it is only short term things, like where I put Ting's (my alter ego) glasses, or the jar of Nutella, or my script. Long term is fine, but usually it's something unusual, like the color of crayon I used the most of when drawing over the walls of my old house (Mac & Cheese).

- I'm annoyed by technology. And I'm slowly refusing to stop learning how to use new ones (which is why my PowerPoint skills are so horrible).

(www.failblog.cheezburger.com)

-I'm beginning to look at younger kids and realize that their childhoods are totally different, and that when I was in fourth grade, I didn't have Hollister jeans or an iPod touch or iPhone. And I miss being a little kid.

- I am an old man (temporarily when I read a monologue) in a play. They changed it so I was a old lady, but I feel like by being an old man I can be more crotchety (I LOVE THAT WORD TOO!).

Maybe everyone feels like this and misses being a little kid and is afraid of getting old. Especially when you're in high school. You have no idea what is coming next and are sort of afraid, but you really miss being a little kid and not having to worry about anything like how other people think of you, or your grades, or how your friends are doing, or memorizing lines, or who is going to take you to homecoming.
Do you feel the same way?
Okay, I got to go eat some soup and drink some tea.

CVS IS FOR BACK TO SCHOOL!

When I need back to school supplies, where do I turn?
CVS!!!!

(www.commercialappeal.com)

Now, many of you are probably like, "I thought that CVS was a drugstore, and didn't have stuff like that."
BUT YOU BE WRONG!
They've got me covered, with notebooks, pencils, and folders galore, along with back to school beauty products like the grapefruit scrub I mentioned before, and mascara that doesn't bother my sensitive eyes, all for under the amount of money you even have in your pocket! (10 dollars)
Also, they gots de snacks, like baby Haagen-Dazs ice cream containers (sorry my computer won't do the accent) and almonds and those hollow chocolate covered straw thingies that I don't know the name of.

(www.runsforcookies.com)

But, wait, you need all that stuff, AND your brother has horrible poison ivy that needs covering! Well, while getting your school stuff, you can grab a couple rolls of gauze or eighty four, and you can be out of there lickety-split and on your way.

You know, if that ever happens to you or something.
They also have those gummy children's vitamins, Skintimate, and all the cheap nail polish you need! It's great!
So get yourself a coupon and head there today. Because, hey, you might see me there as well.

Reviews of Things I Have Tried Recently

I like reviewing things, and when I was younger, I would go onto Barnes and Noble's website and review all of the books that I had just read. I still will go on rages where I review every article of clothing/beauty products I just bought from a website (i.e UO).
But I wanted to just review some stuff I've tried recently, in the category of life.
Lemon Pound Cake Ice Cream
On the way home recently from a nearby state, I stopped with my mom to get ice cream in a small town that I've been to before. Actually, we wanted to go to the café next door to the ice cream place, but it'd just closed (SHOUT OUT TO NIGHT AND DAY CAFE, WHERE THEY HAVE AWESOME EVERYTHING EXCEPT SUNDAY HOURS!). Anyway, we got some ice cream, and I wanted one of the weirder flavors, so I got Lemon Pound Cake Ice Cream. Now, it wasn't vanilla with lemon pound cake chunks, it was lemon ice cream with pound cake pieces and icing swirls. It was okay for the first five minutes, but then it got weird, and I REALLY regretted getting a medium in a waffle cone, which was basically the size of Kentucky. I would give this ice cream 3 stars, but then I take one away because I felt sick after eating it. Also, that was all I ate for dinner.

 Neutrogena's Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub
I got this a week ago since I had a coupon, and I used it for the first time today. It smells AMAZING, that I actually thought somebody cut open a grapefruit nearby. It feels good on my face, and after using it, I felt pretty clean. Since I haven't seen the effects yet, I'm going to give it four stars for its overall feel.

Amy's Organic Soups: Indian Dal Curried Lentil
I started getting this soup a year ago, and I still love it! Number one, I love all of Amy's foods, and two, this soup is organic and vegan. It tastes really good and my whole house smells like it when I make it in the microwave. It looks sort of weird out of the can, but that doesn't matter and IT'S GOOD FOR THE EARTH! YAAAAAAAY! Five stars!

(www.amys.com)

My Grocery Store
For some reason, when my grocery store finds out I like one of its products, that product disappears months later. These foods include: the hummus I like, my yogurt mango bites, white grapes juice (light), margarita flavored Hola Fruta, a good brand of cheese sticks, my pomegranate lechee green tea, and the soup I just reviewed above.
WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS TO ME?!?! No stars, but then I give one for introducing me to all this good food. You win this time...

Oprah Magazine
I'm not in the demographic who reads Oprah. I am a teenager, who gets called a hipster more than once a week. BUT I LOVE OPRAH MAGAZINE! It started showing up at my house once a month for no reason, but then I later learned my mom's friend was getting it for my mom, who didn't really like it. So I took up reading it. They have recipes, beauty tips, outfit ideas, good articles, and enough advertisements to soothe my collaging needs! Oprah is a pretty cool lady as well, and recently they had a whole magazine dedicated to crazy hair, which  made me think of the days when I could suffocate under my hair and couldn't go swimming...... Anyways, I re-read issues all the time, and there's always something new! Four stars!

That's all for today! Get enough sleep and keep believing in yourselves! Because I think I could take up a job as a new revolutionary motivational speaker... or maybe not.

HEEEEELLLLLO SAN FRANCISCO!

(www.mcmanuslab.ucsf.edu)

Well, I wish I was there, but a shout out will have to do.
It's been a good week so far, but I haven't posted because I was making a gift for my friend that took up WAAAAY too much of my time (it was worth it though) and I've been fencing and other stuff.

(www.boston.com)

I've had a lot of ice cream, and some particularly amazing fro-yo in Taro flavor with these awesome bubbly thingies on top that I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF BUT THEY ARE ONE OF THE FREAKING BEST THINGS EVER!
I have the urge to buy some overall shorts and ride my bike and scream compliments at people, but that probably isn't the best idea. Well, the screaming part.

(www.ski-epic.com)

As I type I'm listening to The xx and getting pretty shaky which I can't really explain, but oh well.
Oh, I know why! I'M GETTING MY PIXIE CUT TOMORROW!

(www.short-haircut.com)

Yep, I followed through, and I'm pretty excited. I bought these cute head bands for my short do', and I'm ready to go swimming and not have to worry about suffocating when my hair covers my face as I come up to breathe. One time I tried to do the wet hair flip thing, but when I went to flip, the weight of my hair smacked me in the face with an audible slap, and I fell backwards into the pool because it was so heavy.

(www.themetapicture.com)

So I won't have to worry about that any more.
Well, I gotta go pack for something, so I'm going to sign off with a quote and some Ferris Bueller gifs. Actually, I really have the urge to watch The Hunger Games, but I don't have it and also I get really hyper after I watch that movie. Foxface is definitely my favorite character, probably because she does what I like to do, hide and not be noticed, and use your skills and others resources to survive and win (SECRET TACTIC DURING MANHUNT THAT I USE EVERY TIME I PLAY). I was pretty sad when she died in the movie actually...
"You don't forget the face of the person who was your last hope."

-Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

Goodness, there are so many good quotes from the series. I might just do a bunch until the end of the month.

FAVORITE MOVIE GIF TIME!

Ain't that the truth.

Sorry...

Hey, y'all.
I missed a couple posts/days because I was taking a mini trip, BUT I'M BACK BABY!


(www.creativebeginnings.org)
 

 

Literally.
But while I wasn't writing, I had some thoughts/ideas. And if you've been reading long enough, you probably already guessed that they would be presented in list form.
You guessed correctly, grasshopper.
1. I WILL GET A PIXIE CUT
I was thinking about getting one for awhile, and I finally decided to live a little and get one. Your hair grows back, and I'm FREAKING TIRED with dealing with mine and all of its thickness. I also hope that if I write it on this blog then it will help me follow through. And I know it will look awesome. And if it doesn't, I have a couple months for it to grow back before school starts. And as the cool kids say, YOLO*.

2. Ice Cream is the Best Dinner
Especially if it's chocolate custard with rainbow sprinkles. Mmmmmm.

3. Thinking About Mortality is dangerous.
Because once you start, it's hard to stop, and then you begin questioning everything and it gets pretty darn depressing and suddenly you wonder how you got here and you decide to ponder it over cheese and then you're finishing a puzzle at midnight. You know...just as an example. Not that this has ever happened to me...

(www.brainlesstales.com)

4. Is it possible to get wind burn?
Because I think I have it and it burns around my eyes like a MOTHERTRUCKER!

(www.acesofiron.com)

I guess it is.
5. My Music Stories
Okay, so when I listen to music, if I'm not doing anything else, I usually make up a story that has me doing something to it. Something usually BA, because I can live super adventurously in my mind. So while I'm staring out the car window listening to "No Church in the Wild", I'm jumping rooftops with my flamethrower, then jumping off the edge of one, tumbling through the air and some how hitting the ground running while fending off these thugs that are chasing me with an inferno of blue and orange flames. While wearing reflective sunglasses. And a smile.

So yeah, that's what's been on my mind. Hope you enjoyed it.
I have 7 minutes until my deadline, so I GOT TO GET THIS DONE!**
Quote Time!
"A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves."

-Lao Tzu

Being a leader is hard, and you can't force people to follow you either. It has to be their choice.
Alright, chipmunks, I gotta fly.

*I will/have never said this acronym in earnest. And I don't plan on it. Ever.
** 10 minutes over deadline. Close enough.
