{88 Days} Day Seventeen

An applicable song lyric:
Well you drive me crazy half the time. The other half, I'm only tryin' to let you know that what I feel is true.


Something making me happy:
I have in my possession a scarf. It smells amazing. It is making me beyond happy.


Something I need to be more thankful for:
Warm beverages, particularly coffee.


My 11:11 wish:
I wish I could get caught up on homework. Ew.


Something I accomplished today:
I made it through both physics and theology class alive. I finished dishes. Oh and I actually did my make up today. That right there is a big deal.


Somewhere I want to be:
Somewhere warm.


Some thoughts:
I am cold. Seattle has softened my Alaskan winter hardiness. This is not good. I need to stop stressing about the audition results. Diego pretty much makes my days. Sabrina and I combined are evil geniuses. I like my eyes.


Million dollar question: *Please comment your responses*
What are your feelings about Valentine's day?


Mysterious as the dark side of the moon.

I Will Survive: Day Seventeen (and counting)

Day Seventeen

An applicable song lyric:

 All the things I'm saying I'd miss if the Earth were destroyed are superficial...but I'm not saying "My family" because I know I'll be with them forever.

Something I accomplished today:

Somewhere I want to be:
Asleep, as usual.


Some thoughts:
I wrote this while avoiding home work on the plane today:
Have you ever stared at a blank piece of paper or a new word document just wishing you could fill it with words of your own composure? I have, and do rather often. This would be one of those moments. I'm an emotional mess, just wishing there was a way to get it all out. I'm sick and tired of feeling out of control. I'm melancholic. I need control. It feels like the older I get and the more responsibilities I'm given, the less control I have. 
I'm tired of the games and the politics. When people speak, can't they just say what they mean? Would it be so hard for people's actions to reflect their true intentions without hidden meanings or alterior motives? 
Look. I know I have trust issues, but in all honesty, can you blame me? Excuse me, person. I just watched you lie to your friend over there. Why should I believe you?
It's not that I don't want to trust people. Believe me, I really do. But the people I love and/or look up to have proven countless times that I have no reason to give them my trust. Maybe I just know a lot of losers. Knowing myself, I am a very co-dependent person. I rely on people's approval to feel happy, validated, etc. Lord knows it's not healthy, but it doesn't change the reality of the situation.


{New} Million dollar question: *Please comment your responses*
Why do/don't you choose to trust people?



Totally didn't steal this idea from Sabrina. *cough*

I hope this feeling never ends, 'cause you, you make me happy. You, you make me happy."

And then I rode on the adrenaline for the rest of the afternoon until I crashed and now I'm sitting here playing this week over in my head repeatedly. I'm exhausted. Yes, I will probably go to sleep at 8:30. Again. Don't judge me.
I remember last time I came for auditions, staying up 'till 1:30 talking with Diego and Sabrina on the forums... Good times. I miss you guys.

Some thoughts:
My cellphone is seems indestructible. It's pretty amazing, and I've dropped it more times than I can count. Helen is pretty amazing, listening to me complain about random stuff that won't even matter in the long run. Renaye makes my days.

Somewhere I want to be:
Somewhere else. I'm not picky.


Some thoughts:
I think I'm going to blow off homework to edit pictures. Hey. It's Sunday. A day of REST and all the stuff that's due tomorrow is done. Why does contact have to be so flippin' complicated? I think it's a little ridiculous. I have fallen in love with Owl City and Christina Perri. I pity my mother who has to listen to me sing it slightly off key doing dishes. I am so scared about auditions. I'm literally on the verge of tears thinking about it. 


Sewing and music. Not my first choice for fun, but hey. It's better than homework. 

I Will Survive: Day Eight (and counting)

Day Eight

Day Five

Some thoughts:
I really need to learn not to get my hopes up. Maybe there's something to Helen's "expect the worst and don't be disappointed" theory thingamajig. Dodge ball is still amazing. Debating sucks like a bad kisser with chapped lips and onion breath.

~La vie est belle, Bri~

{88 Days} Day Four

An applicable song lyric:
"  She’s turning seventeen in seven nights. Out on the fairgrounds walking in monotone, she kicks a bottle as empty as her soul."


Something making me happy:
Sabrina's story pretty much made my month. This is literally the story of my life:
If you give a ballerina coffee, she’s going to ask for a scone to go with it. 
And when you give her the scone, she’ll probably ask for some milk, cream, and sugar too. 
When she’s finished, she’ll ask you for a napkin. 
Then she’ll want to look in the mirror to make sure she doesn't have a coffe-stache. When she looks into the mirror, she’ll probably notice her hair needs to be put up. 
So she’ll probably ask for some bobby pins. 
Once she’s finished, she’ll notice that it’s lopsided. 
So she’ll redo it. 
She might get carried away and attempt to do that fancy bun that she saw on TV last night while she was awake on coffee-buzz. 
She may even end up trimming her bangs, as well. 
When she’s done, she’ll probably want to change into something cute. 
You’ll end up emptying her whole closet in an attempt to find something that suits her. 
When she finally chooses an outfit, she’ll get dressed. 
She’ll probably ask you to take a picture for her to look at. 
So you do, and then you show her the picture. 
When she sees it, she’s so hyper off of coffee, she decides that she wants more pictures. 
So you take more. 
When she’s done getting her picture taken, she’ll want to edit them. 
And then she’ll want to post them on Facebook. 
And when she does, people will comment how they love them more than chocolaty ballerina boys. 
And reading those comments reminds her that she’s hungry. 
So…she’ll ask for a scone. 
And chances are if she asks for a scone….
She’s going to want coffee to go with it. 

Something I learned today:
I need to work on patience. I also need to work on using my inner thigh muscles when I dance and then things will work a whole lot better.


Something I need to be more thankful for:
My camera. It's not the world's greatest camera, but it's pretty sick.


My 11:11 wish:
I wish I could trust him.


Something I accomplished today:
20 Theology questions and my first physical therapy appointment. Bleh on both.


Somewhere I want to be:
In bed.


Some thoughts:
This week needs to be done. I have a pretty sick Facebook profile picture if I say so myself. I am getting so flippin' fed up with people at dance. I might punch someone. If it weren't for Sabrina and Diego repeatedly cheering me up today, I would probably be suspended, if not expelled. I don't like physics. Taping my knee makes it feel better. Massacring your feet to epic music is slightly more fun than with non epic music, but it still flippin' hurts. 

I lurve ma hairs.

Asleep.


Some thoughts:
I'm hungry. I only drank 6 cups of coffee today. Today was far too long and far too emotionally draining. I got home from dance an hour ago. This is not okay. I am literally trying to stay awake as I type this. I have some pretty awesome friends, especially Holly, Diego, and Sabrina today. My brain might just implode from choreography/Supreme Court cases/Physics overload. I need more sleep. More Sleep = more patience for people whom I wish to stab repeatedly with a burning dull knife. Not like I have anger issues or anything. *cough*Why is it only Tuesday?!? This is not okay. I am now rambling. *zzz*


I Will Survive: Day Three (and counting)

Day Three

An applicable song lyric:
If you ask me how I'm doing, I would say, “I'm doing just fine.” I would lie and say that you're not on my mind.

Something making me happy:
My daddy bought me creamy peanut butter <3

Something I learned today:
I never ever ever EVER want to be a single mom.

Something I need to be more thankful for:
My dad <3

My 11:11 wish:
That I could rewind my life to last year.

Somewhere I want to be:
In Anchorage, hanging with Helen.

Some thoughts:
I am never cutting my hair again.
My jacket is super warm and cozy.
Cleaning isn't fun.

Hey all.

I've decided that I'm going to do a photo challenge. Not a gay one like everyone on facebook was doing a couple months ago. No, this one is gonna be fierce.

Why am I doing this?? Well...I honestly don't know. But hey, why not??

The challenge is 31 days long. Here is the list of shtuff I'm photographing, and forcing you people to look at:

1. Me.
2. Something I adore.
3. Mah breakfast.
4. A mailbox.
5. Something I wore(like that day).
6. Something that makes me smile.
7. My favorite something.
8. Sweet.
9. Something I made.
10. Color.
11. Where I sleep.
12. A close-up. Of anything.
13. In my bag...
14. Something I'm reading.
15. Happiness.
16. Morning.
17. Water.
18. Something I bought.
19. My sky.
20. Someone I love.
21. Reflection.
22. My shoes.
23. Something old.
24. Guilty Pleasure.
25. Daily Routine.
26. My childhood.
27. Lunch.
28. Light.
29. Inside my fridge.
30. Nature.
31. Me again!

Some of these are kinda random. But that's the point, right??
I'm going to Vegas and DC for two weeks tho, so some of these will be kinda random. I tried reorganizing them to fit in well. So we'll see how it goes. So yes, I have to post every single day. And also, it is a requirement to take the picture THAT day. So...no old pictures...

I'm starting today, so there'll be another post from me you have to read! Lucky you...

{88 Days} Day Two

An applicable song lyric:
"In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die. Where you invest your love, you invest your life."


Something making me happy:

Uh.... Not eating? OH!! I called my grandma back. That was on my to-do list. 


Somewhere I want to be:

Some thoughts:
I need food. But I can't eat because none of my pants fit. I WILL BE STRONG!!! Maybe I'll just drink more coffee. I loooove coffee. My coffee loves me. This week is going to be absolute madness. I love Aurora and Sabrina and Rebekah and Diego and Alex and Mikaela all so much it causes me physical pain. Or maybe that's just hunger. Hmm. At least my teeth don't hurt. 


Highlight of the Day

I Will Survive: Day Two (and counting)

An applicable song lyric:

When you find everything you looked for, I hope your life leads you back to my door. Oh but if it don't, stay beautiful."

Twelve year old boys are the most immature things in existence.

Something I need to be more thankful for:
My amazing, incredibly understanding friends.

My 11:11 wish:
I wish I could be psychic.

Soaking in a hot bath.

Some thoughts:
Note: Do not put red nail polish under gold crackle...it doesn't turn out well.
We need more butter.
It's great to have cars that work, even when it's -20 outside.

I Will Survive: Day One (and counting)

So, I did steal this idea from my friend Helen, but in my defense, she said I could. There are 336 days until my 16th birthday, which is big, and it just so happens to be the year that the world is supposed to end. SO, I've decided to start this project and call it I Will Survive. Basically, I'll post a picture and answer these questions (and maybe occasionally switch them up) every day for your enjoyment.

Day One

An applicable song lyric:
"I'm tired of being what you want me to be, feeling so faithless lost under the surface, don't know what you're expecting of me."

Something making me happy:
My new tutu, hehe :D

Something I learned today:
That it's really hard not to talk over other people and just listen.

Something I need to be more thankful for:
My parents.

My 11:11 wish:
I wish I was in love.

Somewhere I want to be:
Lying on a sunny beach.

Some thoughts:
Some people need to just sit back and shut their mouths, because the rest of us have our own lives to worry about. Dance is altogether too hard and competitive, but I am so in love with it. Making biscuits isn't as fun as it sounds.

{88 Days} Day One

 On the way home from mass this afternoon, I had the idea to start a new project. Now keep in mind this idea is most definitely not of my own invention, but I'm putting my own little twist on it.
Here's the deal: My 17th birthday is in 88 days. So, everyday until that day, I'm going to post a picture and answer these question thingy dos. So. Here we go.
P.S. Your feedback is encouraged. So comment :)

Day One
An applicable song lyric:
"I realize if you ask me how I'm doing, I would say 'I'm doing just fine'. I would lie and say that you're not on my mind."

Something making me happy:
Coffee. Yum. 

Something I learned today:
This project is going to be harder than I thought.

Something I need to be more thankful for:
My mother and everything she does for me.

My 11:11 wish:
I wish I was in love

Somewhere I want to be:
In a state of peace.

Some thoughts:
My boyfriend is pretty much amazing. I need to decide which song I'm choreographing to. I should text Jacob and not be a b****. Eating pizza with a fork is lame. 



I am giving up for you.
