Tooting my own horn

I don't have much clever things to say about this like in my other blog posts, but please could everyone take a look at this spectacle of a gingerbread castle?!
My lovely friend Emily and I spent about 15 EXHAUSTING hours working on it, but I think it turned out great! It was for a local competition, and although we didn't win, we raised 114 bucks for our organization. We are bitter we didn't win but oh well hahaha.
Ok so I would also just like to point out a few things....
YES that is a unicorn farm.
YES that is Emily and I in the windows.
YES thats a rainbow in the background.
YES thats the coolest effing thing you've ever seen.
YES you should be extremely jealous.

 Yup so that's that, I think I'll go blog some more since it's been a fricken ETERNITY! HAPPY HOLIDAYS...I DARE you to try and beat that...IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!

I'm Thankful for Thanksgiving.

Wowza I'm a blogging machine lately. Anyways, this blog post is inspired by many of my friends who need to but put in their place...please read this especially Marissa and Emily.

Here today I am going to talk about a trend I see over an over again that must stop. This trend is the trend of celebrating Christmas WAY before its time. Before you read this brief paragraph please keep in mind that I LOVE Christmas time, so don't you dare call me a bahumbug.

Thanksgiving is an awesome holiday. All you do is eat and enjoy the wonderful things in life. It's stress free and equally as great as all of the other holidays. So please tell me why Thanksgiving is ALWAYS overshadowed Christmas? The second Halloween passes everyone gets all horned up for Christmas when it is 2 MONTHS AWAY! They seem to forget the simplicity of being thankful of what they have and start buying up a storm of Christmas decorations and making their Santa lists and all that crap. Then on the day of Thanksgiving all most people are doing is planning their plan of action for black friday shopping so they can get their CHRISTMAS shit for cheap. WELL GUESS WHAT I WON'T STAND FOR IT ANYMORE! I think Thanksgiving should get radio stations dedicated to its music and the stores should be filled with Thanksgiving decorations. Oh and you know what else? I like that Thanksgiving still has its true meaning to it...IT IS ABOUT BEING THANKFUL. It doesnt have some myth of a fat man creepin in children's homes overshadowing the true meaning.  Overall, I just really love the food and family surrounded by Thanksgiving and I just wanted to give it its street creds in this blog post......oh and I really dont want to be working on my essay for AP Lit like I should be...
YAY THANKSGIVING!

just remember I really do love Christmas and I'm not trying to knock it, I'm just sayin that I shall love Christmas AFTER the wonderful time that is Thanksgiving.

Yeah, I'm talking to you Marissa.
XOXO

lyke OMG! ily!

So today was cold, rainy and miserable...so since I was kind of a crabby bitch all day I'm gonna go on a bitch rant!

FACEBOOK RELATIONSHIPS!

Puhhh-Leassse! Don't even get me started. First of all I think Facebook is a very wonderful thing that opens a lot of doors. Because of Facebook, I've gotten in touch with more family and old friends, it's a pretty good way of communication, and it makes stalking much less criminal-like. So yay for that, but seriously, people need to take their freaking relationships OFF of Facebook!

I just love the lovers on Facebook. These couples think it is necessary that they comment, like, and write on each others wall multiple times a day expressing their undying love for each other. They are fond of things like "ily" or those weird little heart symbols I still don't know how to make. They know everyone can't stand them but this only fuels them even more. They then begin to PROVE their love to the unbelievers. OH PLEASE! Your love is about as real as my pet unicorn. Oh and might I just add that I have a firm belief that if you say things like "ily" "i luv you babe" or even plain and simple "i love you" on a Facebook wall that IT'S NOT LOVE OR ROMANTIC! If you really love someone how about you give them a call, or hey! heres a crazy thought, GO AND MEET THEM IN PERSON and tell them your feelings! Because Facebook is a social networking site not fucking Eharmony. Don't get me wrong I'm a girl and a hopeless romantic and when a guy says sweet things to you it makes you feel good...but if I were to open Facebook and have a notification about some crap that I'm beautiful and makes all his dreams come true on my wall I'd be like WTF? ...it takes away ALL of the romance and loses all value and credibility. I know your 3 week long relationship is like totally the best time of your life and you've met your soul make and you're gonna be with him foreverz and everz but HOW ABOUT YOU GET YOUR SHIT OFF OF FACEBOOK AND POST ABOUT SOMETHING THAT SOMEONE ACTUALLY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT!

Well that's that, if you got through all of that congrats! Haha, I decided to go get some real life Facebook posts from a couple young lovers I will not name...ENJOY!

"I couldn't ask for a better man, best friend or lover. He gives me everything I need or could ever dream of. Copy and paste this if you married or have a boyfriend that is your everything lets show some much needed love♥ I love you [insert name]."

NOTHING SAYS LOVE MORE THAN CHAIN MAIL!

"[insert name]- The name of a sweet young girl whose smile and laugh could light up a world filled wtih darkness and the eyes that could make your anger vanish into thin air."

I JUST BARFED A LITTLE IN MY MOUTH

"You are beautiful babe idk how I got you but your eyes are so amazing your smile lights up my day your hair tops it all off and you should wear it down more often ;) but what makes you really beautiful is your loving and forgiving heart :)"

AW.

"i love you [insert name] thanks for being the best gf i could ever ask for thanks for always being there for me thanks for staying with me all these months even tho you could be with any other guy in the world i guess im the lucky one babe im sorry sometimes i mess up but i want you to know i want to stick together forever if you feel the same way thanks. do what yourheart tells you I love you"

HE WINS THE PRIZE FOR BIGGEST RUN ON SENTENCE EVER!

"If You held up 11 roses into a mirror, you'd be looking at 12 of the most beautiful things in the world"

NO, ACTUALLY YOU'D JUST BE LOOKING AT YOUR REFLECTION AND SOME FLOWERS HE WAS TOO CHEAP TO ACTUALLY SEND...BAHAHA.

"If I had to choose between breathing and loving you, I would use my last breath to say, I love you."

MY LIL HEART JUST MELTED.

"i think God wants us to be together forever because he gave me a sign :)"

DID HE CALL YOU A DUMBASS?

Oh, how I love those! Thank you all for reading. Every once in awhile it feels good to bitch about something. Now I must return to my life of responsibility...right after I go post on my boyfriend's wall that he's a dream come true and makes my life sunshiny and glittery...

Life sure is a Slice of Cherry Pie....lmmmaaooo.

"That's a scary mask bro!"

HALLOWEEN IS TOMORROW! I sure do love halloween, the candy the scariness, the costumes. It really blows that it's on a monday but oh well! this year I have decided to dress up as a unicorn if anyone cares because that's just my style. As for my Halloween plans who knows...I would love to continue to go trick or treating but old people are a bunch of grumpers when it comes to the youthful teens trying to get free candy...jealous bitches...

But anyways, today as I procrastinate my homework I decided to make up a little quiz so everyone could find out their halloween persona...So if your curious take it and find out!

1. When Halloween rolls around you are most excited for...

a) nothing

b) free candy

c) whorish costume

d) scaring people

2. Your favorite Halloween candy is...

a) old people mints

b) the kind that are made of pure sugar

c) slut candy

d) candy that children like

3. What costume would you most likely choose to wear...

a) dress up as yourself because you are lazy and lack creativity

b) a fairy princess, ghost, witch

c) something you bought at a sketchy stripper store with some sort of animal ears

d) trench coat and weird guy mustache

4. On Halloween what do your plans consist of?

a) sitting on the couch watching reruns of Lost

b) trick or treating until the wee hours of the night

c) working the corner

d) parking your van by a busy neighborhood offering candy to children

5. What will the morning after Halloween look like for you?

a) you will have toast for breakfast

b) you will have crashed after a 4 hour sugar high

c) you are pregnant

d) you are in handcuffs in jail

6. What word describes you most

a) wallflower

b) youthful

c) trannywhore

d) pedophile

OK! Now calculate your answers!

MOSTLY A's:

You are a very boring person. Halloween means absolutely nothing to you. You probably have no friends. On weekends you can be found playing mario kart...by yourself. You probably enjoy things like jigsaw puzzles and playing on farmville. You lack creativity and probably smell a little bit. You should probably take a little bit of advice from the Mostly B's and C's people because they usually have a good time. Don't worry though, even though you live a lifeless life of dull monotony your cats still love you!

MOSTLY B's:

You are a child at heart and have not grown up. You love halloween for the trick or treating, scary movies and free candy. You still have a youthful vibrance for life that is often loss in age. You enjoy the fun times in life. You probably love to play video games and steal all the cookies when your mom bakes them. So rock on you who is young...but keep in mind...if you are 30 reading this with joy and excitement......go get a fucking job and get out of your mothers basement.

MOSTLY C's:

HALLOWEEN WHORE! You are a Halloween slut and enjoy all things hoeish involved with halloween. As Mean Girls said it "In Girl World, Halloween is the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it." You take full advantage of this and wear as little clothing as you can. You probably debated between dressing up as naughty nurse or a naughty nun. Maybe you just wore lingerie and cat ears. There are two of your kind...there is the normal girl who just uses this day to dress a little more provocative that usual then there is the everyday slut who uses this day to become a mega slut. The mega sluts usually end their halloween with a new disease or a possible pregnancy. Either way she probably had a good time but probably doesn't remember that. Halloween sluts unite!

MOSTLY D's:

You are a pedophile. Halloween is only good for you because children ring your doorbell and you can offer them candy without being arrested. You probably have a creepy looking beard and probably smell funny. You may or may not drive a creeper van with tinted windows. People are just generally creeped out by you and your creepy balding combover. So please, on Halloween and everyday, leave the children alone they are so innocent. Go hit on the Halloween sluts they don't really know whats going on anyways. :P

So I hope you enjoyed that quiz and got out of it a new found view of yourself. bahaha. I wish you a happy Halloween filled with candy, whores and no pedos! Party while you're still young!

Have a Spooktactular day!

Post Secondary Plans...

OhMaGawd! Umm yeah, so I think it's pretty clear that my blog has been pushed to the back burner in my life. The school paper people sent me a sheet to fill out about it and I felt like a jerk since I NEVER write on it and it could possible be in the paper....

So what in the world have I been up to since fricken SEPTEMBER?! ....well...uhhhh...all I can really think of is school stuff (homework, college apps, books, presentations, finals, ect.) which is not only LAME but SAD! So because I am a horrible blogger, I am taking precious time away from the 400 pages I'm supposed to have finished tomorrow of Dracula (thank god for spark notes) and writing!

Well, today Terrible Tuesday started out with a college fair...

Imma get real with you and let you know what I think about this whole planning for your future thing...I think that the whole idea is...SCARY, LONG, TIME CONSUMING, SAD, IMPOSSIBLE, FRUSTRATING, AND DID I SAY SCARY?!

I'm beyond intimidated by the whole process and if this were psychology and we were determining between the fight or flight response, you could say I'd choose flight.

So instead of using my time wisely and getting some of that crap done...I decided to compose a list of possible futures where I could have a solid living WITHOUT a college education.

1. Gypsy: I can look like a dirty hobo and do weird things like dance around, wear big hoop earrings, travel everywhere, and have a bunch of dirty hobo kids...oh and everyone can come look into my crystal ball! ...As for money...we keep that on the DL

2. Drug dealer: ...not the most respected career out there and pretty sketchy...but I am pretty hood so I think I could make some good cash...maybe...

3. Extreme Couponer: These people the craziest mofos alive but they have a SHIT TON of food and random crap. I could spend all of my time cutting coupons and then get like 9 carts full of food and pay ten bucks. And for the downers out there wondering where I'll get the money for the coupons and food...(see number 2 bahahaha)

I'll get a business card...McKenzie Phelps: Drug Dealer and part time Extreme Couponer

4. Nomad: I will simply live off the land. I will find myself a big expanse of woods and from there I will hunt, grow, and wander. (Note to self: must learn how to start a fire, kill and animal and make my own shelter) Pocahontas did it so it can't be that hard?...where the hell is John Smith when you need him?

5. GoldDigger: All I gotta do is bleach my hair, get breast implants, and lose all sense of morals...then its time to find the wrinkliest billionaire and pretend that I don't have to sleep with a man older than my dad...EWWWWWWWWW

6. McDonalds: While this one sucks it sure does have winning qualities. I would have to get used to acne, minimum wage, and constantly smelling like a greasy, fatass tub of lard...BUT I bet I would get a pretty good discount on food and c'mon now who doesn't love clogging their arteries? Ohh maybe I could even get promoted to fry cook...

So that's that....

Some of them have their setbacks and some of them aren't very stable in this economic downfall, but I bet I could make at least one of them work....

In the meantime...I should probably go do homework JUST IN CASE that I can't learn how to hunt or my boobs don't grow...

To all my fellow peers out there in the same predicament I wish I had any wise words of advice but I don't. I wish you all luck though.

and when in doubt remember,

Life's a Slice of Cherry Pie.

let's have fun while we're still young

Standardized Test FROM HELL!

It's a beautiful day outside, the sun is shining, theres a nice breeze...so you may be wondering...why are you inside writing on your blog that nobody reads?

Well my curious friends...I'm inside because I have lost all my soul and emotion to the ACT this morning. Yes, while the outside world was waking up to a lazy Saturday, I was confined to a little desk in the harsh world of flourescent lit classrooms. My mind was trying to so hard to put up a good fight, but it was slowing being sucked into the black hole of destruction.

My thoughts on the ACT:

1. I don't think there should be so much emphasis on it. Congrats if you're one of those weird super intelligent people who rock the shit out of it and get a super amazing score when you're like 12, but honestly all it does is test your ability to take tests.

2. I think the ACT sets everyone up for failure. Cram us in a room for 4 hours, with only a 10 minute break and deny us water and food. Uhh yeah, who the hell is gonna thrive in that situation?

3. SO MUCH STRESS! The night before the ACT I'm freaking out, my stomach is in knots, I have a bunch of pimples, I'm throwing up and my life is just a pool of stress. All because I feel like I have to do well so some college doesn't think I'm a dumbass and will give me money. LAME!

4. It makes me feel like the biggest retard on the planet. Maybe I am a retard, but c'mon now, the ACT is destroying my self esteem like the Iceberg destroyed the Titanic. And you know what the problem is, I take it...do bad...then have the feeling like I'll never be able to do well on it and have a huge cloud of negativity surrounding me for the rest of my life. Over dramatic...Maybe? But forreals it makes me feel like CRAP!

Thats all I got, I would write more but unfortunately the ACT sucked out my ability to live. I feel like I'm dead. To quote David after the Dentist "Is this gonna be forever??" I hope not, I don't want this worthless and retarded forever...

Oh, but on the bright side, my answer sheet was purple which I thought was cool for about 5 seconds.

PEACE!

RUN FOREST RUN!

Wowza it has been awhile since I've wrote on here, I'm really hoping this blog thing isn't going to turn into another one of those forever unfinished projects that I always seem to be starting....

Anyways, labor day weekend has gone and past, and I had a pretty stupendous long weekend, but unfortunately it also means that summer is officially over, which is always a hard load for my heart to handle but fall has its perks too I suppose....mehh!

Well today I decided I would write about something that I hate...mostly because I'm bad at it.

RUNNING.

I decided to write about this topic because yesterday I went to a cross country meet to cheer on my friends and boyfriend. It was one of those eye opening experiences that made me think "how in the world do these people do this to themselves?" I have an obnoxious amount of respect for runners because I really do think they might be the most dedicated, self motivated people that exist. Not only do they run 7 days a week during school buuutttt they also ran all summer at 7 in the effing morning. And running isn't exactly an enjoyable thing to do...I mean, I can think of a lot more enjoyable things to do instead of long amounts of cardio making your heart feel like it's going to explode. But anyways, I was just amazed as I watched the runners go. They're running up hills and shit and they never stop. Then towards the end they all look like at any point one of them might just fall over and die, but nope they just keep going! PRETTY INTENSE. And here I am wearing my "fat day" stretchy pants, drinking sonic yelling at the them to keep going. Needless to say I felt like a lazy-ass, douche bag! I mean, I exercise, but never at that level of intensity, and it usually comes with a lot of bitching and moaning on my part. The problem is that the motivation is all a mental game that I fail at miserably. I really feel like if I had half the self motivation they have, I could A. Be really in shape and B. pretty much do anything I ever wanted. Unfortunately, thats not how life works! Regardless, it was lots of fun seeing everyone run and I thought they all did great. In fact, I really just wanted to cheer on everyone there because I felt so bad for them. But I held back and had some school spirit instead.

So to sum it all up. RUNNING SUCKS.

but I wish I could be successful like them...

bahah. oh the dilemma!

anyways, I wish I could say I'm excited for the weekend, but with marching band and the ACT, I'm really just kind of pissed off....ahhh well, thats life for ya!

well I better get on the run (no pun intended)...STAY GOLDEN!
