The Party: part two

I broke my fucking collarbone.

we were playing crack the whip, and i flew off and landed on my shoulder.

I missed the rest of my party because i was in the emergency room. greaat night.

The Party: Part one

The day of:

OH it's going to be extravagant.

Right now I am listening to the most amazing dance music you can imagine.

And in an hour and fifteen minutes I'll be setting up for a party as fun as you please.

What party?

The ugly dress party, of course.

Because we can't be fashionable Alll the time. It's the one night of the year, when it is ever so fashionable, to be ever so unfashionable.

Don't pretend like you don't think it's a great idea.

So I am soooo excited, because it's going to be a blast.

People, music, food, ugly clothing, ultimate frisbee, and dancing. what could be better?

I'm going to get SOO many amazing night shots. They'll be up as soon as I can manage.

So goodnight, I love you, and I'll soon show have a new post about the ugliest dresses, and why you shouldn't wear them.

PS:

music you should listen to:

Make Light by Passion Pit

Liztomania by Phoenix

Drugs In My Body by Thieves Like Us

Animal by Miike Snow

Vermillion Plaza by Deastro

Swing Tree by Discovery

On Mormon boys:

Alright, so we all know that religion often affects a person's:

personality,

general demeanor

(attractiveness?).

Well, most of the time. Kind of.

So maybe it's not actually based on any facts, research or data of any kind, but I mean, have you ever noticed a correlation?

I personally am not religious, and find religions strange, unnecessary, and sometimes just plain. fucked. up.

However, I've noticed something weird..

The mormon boys?

For some reason, they seem to be damn adorable!

Both my friend, Alex and I have found a boy who we TOTALLY like.

Like, I mean,

LIKE LIKE LIKE.

Both are the sweetest kids ever, really funny, REAALLY cute,

and just completely amazing people that share our interests (but very few of the same views),

and.

are.

MORMON.

Whoah, right?

what is with these mormon boys?

They are wayy too cute!

Okay, okay, so maybe it's just a coincidence. But I mean, what are the chances that all of the mormon boys I know (okay, not all.. But a lot, okay!) are SUPER sweet and nice and cute.

And when I say sweet, I mean you just can't help but like them.

Even if you don't like them like a boyfriend or whatever, you just can't hate these kids.

I mean, these guys are just too adorably nice to you that you just have to be nice to them back.

And if you don't, you're a horrible person. Because why should you be mean to, or dislike someone who does nothing but say nice things to you? You shouldn't!

Which is how I've managed to fall for the sweetest boy I've ever met.

He's in speech and debate with me, and is in the musical. He's cute, funny, and once again, sweet as sugar.

And he's mormon.

For those of us who still spend unfortunate days in a school

Back to school:

We know,

it sucks.

Today was the second day of school this year,

and I'm flat out exhausted.

My mind is tired

and so is my body.

Spending 7 hours in school is nothing. I've been doing that for years now.

It's the walking 1.7 miles home with a fifteen pound (or more) bag on my shoulder that really gets me.

I usually only walk home only about .9 or so miles, but because of budget cuts in our county (thank you very much, to all of you stupid people who voted against 3A and 3B. I get it. You don't want to pay more taxes. You don't give a shit about education or what this means for little kids, you're just trying to evade paying more money than you already do for your ritzy little house in the suburbs and fast little cute sportscar.) I now have no bus.

But hey, at least my bag will be a little lighter by the end of next week, I just have to carry everything I need for school in my bag right now, even when I don't need to take it home, because we haven't been assigned lockers yet.

I really really really hope my locker is in a good location this year.

I also hope it actually locks, unlike my locker last year.

Let me tell you, it was certainly interesting to go to my locker between classes to drop off a binder or something and find some random child I didn't know either putting their shit in my locker (when there's already limited room because I share with three or so other people [my locker partner invites her friends into our locker]) or just looking through all the crap in there, possibly for something they put in there earlier, or maybe because they are just bored and want something to do, like sift through other people's things.

who knows.

Anywho,
this year should be pretty cool other than my walking home situation.

Also because of budget cuts, we have shorter classtimes this year. which in the long run is bad because we have less time to cover material, but good in the short run, cuz I mean, it's way cooler to spend 45 minutes in class than 55 minutes in class.

Aaaannnnddddd, we have an open campus this year. Which means:

LONGER LUNCH! Yes! because they need to give time to people who leave for lunch to go someplace, eat lunch and come back. I don't have my license yet, so I can't go anywhere (there' nowhere close enough to our school to walk) but it's still nice to have a long lunch. And plus it will be nice when my junior/senior friends (or friends in my grade who can drive) are nice and drive me somewhere.

ha.

And also, I just have really good classes this year.

Theater 3, Hell yeah!

and Speech and Debate

and REGULAR english instead of honors this year. I took honors last year, so this year will be like a break. Sweet.

I'm also taking AP Euro, which, though it will be hard because of the material, will actually not be too too difficult because Mr. Patrick is cool (despite what I've heard from my friends who had him last year. That's just because he doesn't like freshmens or something.).

and so we actually take two weeks to cover a chapter.

Which is longer than I took to read a chapter of the textbook for the class as summer homework.

Sa-weeeet!!!

Exciting stuff man.

I have a feeling it's gonna be a good year.

I dream of Jello

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's like a miracle or something.

[jello].

So, I woke up this morning with a massive headache, extremely sore jaws, and very little will to get out of bed.

And so I didn't for another hour.

And when I did, the first thing I did was eat a bowl of lime jello, because that's basically the only thing I can get to slide down my throat lately.

After taking some advil (I'm trying to get off the pain pills) I put a warm compress on my face for twenty minutes..

then proceeded to fall asleep again.

I seriously did not even see the sleep coming. It's like one minute I would be awake,

and the next thing I knew I'd be waking up.

I feel like I have narcolepsy or some shit.

The weird thing is, I may have been hallucinating in-between snoozes..

I swear I saw a spider on the wall before I last fell asleep, but when I woke up it was gone.

No trace of it.

It was one of those really little ones...

I have no idea, maybe it wasn't a hallucination.. it could have crawled away, I guess.

Logically, they don't dissappear, right?

Shit, and I didn't even take a pain pill today!

Well, I'm awake now, and though it may be temporary, I feel well enough to go shower and attempt to walk my dogs.

this should be fun.

[perhaps].

Dazed And Confused

Okay, I watched that movie last night,

and I'm a little baffled that Alex said it was like the best movie ever.

No offense, but not the greatest movie I've ever seen. It was possibly one of the least entertaining.

But, I also watched pineapple express, and it was hilarious.

I laughed my ass off.

So today, I'm going to be drugged out of my mind on pain killers!

Because I'm getting my wisdom's out.

So it should be a very interesting experience (though I'm dreading the part where they have to stick the IV in my arm.. I don't do well with needles).

I'm quite interested in having people text me and see if I make any sense.. because my friend trever (boyfriend at the time, not anymore), when he had his teeth out, he was on some high dosage of viacadin (I know that's wrong. I can't spell it.) or something and he was texting me and it was HI freakin' LARIOUS to talk to him.

He was a silly silly person on painkillers. He was soooo out of it.

ha.

Other than chatting, all I'll be doing today is eating jello and smoothies and watching movies and sleeping.

It should be good fun.

[not really].

The Waiting Game

So, It's a dreary old Tuesday,

And I'm just avoiding my homework.

I have sooo much coming up, FAST.

And frankly, I'm scared shitless.

But I'm trying to balance out the fear with some excitement, at least.

So I have some things to freak out about in the future, and some things to look forward to.

Things I'm dreading:

1. Getting my wisdom teeth out (This coming Thursday)

2. School Starting (August 11th)

3. Starting on Birth Control... I mean it will be good in the long run, but my friend who was on it in 8th grade said she got her period for like 28 consecutive days when she first started. SCARY.

Now, Things I can look Forward to:

1. Ugly Dress Party!! (But we still need to decide a date)

2. Denver Freeze! (Maybe, I don't know for sure if I can go yet.. shit that's next week! better find out..)

3. Going back to school (yeah, it's stressful, but I do look forward to speech starting again, and seeing everybody.)

4. Going on Birth Control (yeah I know it's the thing scaring me, but I mean once I'm on it, it should clear up my skin, which is the whole reason I'm starting it.. because I'm not worried about the pregnant thing, I don't have sex.)

But as much as I do look forward to these things, they are stressing me out. I mean, it's hard planning parties, and doing homework when school starts in two weeks!

And right now I'm procrastinating even more, which is making it worse!

So, yeah, it's my fault.

But still!

Can't you see what the stress is doing to me! I'm becoming paradoxical! First I say something is scary, and then I say the same thing is what I'm looking forward to! What's wrong with me?

I am such a mess.

I can't believe I'm wasting my time like this.

I should really get back on track.
