Just a girl who's much too indie for Alaska. My thoughts, feelings, ponderings, wonders, hopes, fears, dreams, plans, etc. will probably show within my first two postings. I just graduated this year, and I turned 18 on June 13th. I've been playing trombone for 8 years. I was born on a Thursday, my favorite color is Seafoam Green, I believe that Animal Collective knows how to make the panties drop, and if you don't agree, then you, my friend, don't have no idea about panty dropping skills. I'll follow that logic up by saying that I'm a sweet, pretty innocent, Jesus lovin' girl, so, you know, don't get the wrong impression, because I promise you, I will try to stay as Christ oriented as possible. But you know what Tegan and Sara say:

"I'm not unfaithful, but I'll stray."

Mmhm.

I can be overdramatic, but I don't want to change it. Let's keep things interesting.

I'm in math. It's true.

I was considering not even coming today, but I thought we had a test, so I decided to come. I’m pretty happy I came though. This is a nice break from everything. This class is like review, for now, so today is okay.

I like how all of my math teachers always dressed kind of awkward-ish. Like, if the pants were just a little longer and didn’t come up so high, and the shirts fit a little less tight and came down a little further, maybe we’d be good. Oh well.

My right calf is like vibrating. I’m a little worried.

I finally did my radio show last night. George and I have such a fantastic dynamic. I’m really glad this finally happened. I freaking love that kid. I’m going to ask for my own show today after I get out of class. I’m a little nervous but George thinks I can do it. It’ll be fine.

I’m feeling pretty good about life. I feel like I’m on a good, purposeful path.
I’m going to become a piercer. I decided this awhile back, but I really have a reason to do this now. All of this, making a resume, taking the time to make it good, it all has a purpose. This is all potentially life changing, and I like that! It’s funny, because all kinds of people are coming in my life, seemingly out of nowhere. Coincidence is such a joke. This is most definitely fate! From all over, I’m getting support, and I really really appreciate that. College is starting to get stressful, so I can use all the support I can get my friendly little hands on.

This dude I’m sitting next to is funny. I like how he keeps breathing and stuff. I think he may be a ginger. Ah ah ah!!

But anyway, math is bogus. But, at least I can Tumbl!!
I should’ve won my belt today. Dang dang dang.

Blahh.
Sometimes, you’ve got to work for what you want.
I’ve got a feeling that’s going to be the theme of this year.
I’ve found someone unlike all the other jerks and losers I’ve been acquainted with.
He’s a real man, and I want him! So, I’m not going to stand back, like I normally do, and expect things to come to me like I’m some sort of magnetic woman. I’ll do my part, and I don’t mind.

Now, the only things is, how?
Well, that’s all up to fate.
Timing, timing, timing.
“Right place, right time”
This is going to be interesting.

Look, other bands, they want to make it about sex or pain, but you know, The Beatles, they had it all figured out, okay? “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” The first single. It’s effing brilliant, right? That’s what everybody wants, Nicky. They don’t want a twenty-four-hour hump sesh, they don’t want to be married to you for a hundred years. They just want to hold your hand.

Dear Chanel,

I wish you were here, because I’m so scared. I’ve messed up this time, and I really really mean it. You know those things they tell you in school about not talking to strangers? Yeah. Too late. I should’ve listened. Either way, I’m being followed, and I’ve got to do something about it. I know you don’t believe in Jesus, but I want you to pray for me anyway. I need all the prayer I can get, because man, this is bad. I’m being stalked. Freaking stalked and there’s nothing I can really do about it on my own. I’ve been reading my Bible and praying and just trying to make everything okay. I may take care of it today. Either way, I’m nervous. I don’t know… I just need a hug, and even though I know how you feel about hugs (boobs can’t touch, but that’s okay!) I’d still take one anyway.

But how’re you? I hope you’re having fun! I may go down and visit you one of these days. All those indie kids in one city? Sounds like heaven. I should get some flannel. I should have Fleet Foxes and our beloved Devendra come play at my birthday party. Can’t believe I didn’t like him. It doesn’t make sense. I don’t make any sense man. I am a nut. Lordy, I have no idea what’s gonna happen.

I don’t think I’ll be too nervous anymore. I’ll just have to deal with it. This shouldn’t last for too much longer.


I love you, man, and you know that.
Text me.

This title was almost ridiculous.

I’m in something that I’d like to call a rut.
Let me start from the beginning(ish).

There’re code names for everyone.
But there’s also a code “list”.
Let me elaborate.

1) Giuseppe
2) Forrest Gump
3) Radiohead
4) Psychic

Okay, those’re all of the prospective men in my life, ahaha.
Childish as it seems, it keeps things in order. Now, here’s what’s happenin’.

Giuseppe may be the hottest piece of man I’ve ever encountered in my life. He’s this tall, blonde, silly, funny, sweet, hockey playing hunk that I’ve known since I was, you know, 4 or 5. Hell, he was my first real kiss, and that’s all that really matters lol. We’ve grown up together and have just recently gotten back in touch. Oh man. He is just such a silly boy. Nothing could really ever happen, I don’t think. We’d make hot babies though. Real hot mulatto babies!

Forrest Gump is a different kind of man. Quiet and reserved, seemingly, but actually a riot! He’s also a very sweet boy. He seems really simple and adorably clueless. His mama raised him right. Though he claims to be Irish, this boy has some kind of southern thing going on, but he’s also stylish. It’s wild. It’s like he doesn’t know how adorable he is. Man oh man. He’s killin’ me! With kindness =D.

Radioheaddddd. Yeah. I met him on the best day of my life. Norma Jean concert/day I got my license. Amazing day. He’s a very nice guy. If only bad luck wasn’t against us. 2 Mondays of no metal have passed. I’m getting a little nervous… I dunno about him though. I just feel like there’s this bad boy thing going on. Homie don’t play that, thank you. Next.

Psychic. Not much to say about him. He’s unpredictable, and I’m not all crazy about this one. I met him in my psych class. He’s tall and he cusses, but it’s not too much, it’s just kind of quirky or something. I dunno. I’m kind of over it all though.

So, the way I think about it, it would be between Giuseppe and Forrest Gump. I’m not gonna lie (Possum Kingdom reference), though. As hot as Giuseppe is, I just couldn’t do it. I dunno why, it just seems like it’d always be all fun and games and whatnot. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a silly girl, but dang. Can’t be all giggles all the time! Radiohead is hardly an option. He’s my buddy. Psychic? Pff. Please.

That leaves…Forrest. Who is a pretty crazy option, but then again, not so crazy if you think about.

He’s got a good head on his shoulders (a cute one at that!)
He’s got morals
He says the cutest things I’ve ever heard
He uses big words, which is nice
He’s responsible (ehh…I’ve heard things)
and most important…


We’d make hot babies. Just saying…

These guys kill it. You should really check out everything else they’ve done for the Fleet Foxes.

Great, great stuff.

Love is a good time.

I know most of my posts on here are all, you know, kinda sad, I’m here to say something different today. I can’t sleep, due to my hamster’s ridiculous sleep schedule, so I decided to blog.

Lately, I’ve been into some less than marvelous junk that I’ve really gotta stop doing. Not drugs or anything these days, just people problems, I guess. Either way, I’ve got to start denying my wants and whatnot. It’s just what’s got to happen.
College has really helped me fix this, but I’ve got to get back in my Bible more, too. This is an immediate goal for me, and let me tell you, I’m pretty darn excited.
I’m so pumped to be helping in Sunday school too! Though, I was pretty apprehensive to the whole thing [cuz I don’t like kids], it wasn’t so bad. The kids’re alright.
Everything is alright, honestly.
In a time where it’s so cool to be faithless, I won’t fall into that demographic.
Not only is keeping the faith important, but living a good, clean life is too, which is what I’m trying to do.

I see God working in all these crazy ways in my life, and as happy as it makes me, I’ve got friends who’re just hitting their old habits pretty hard, as I was, and it makes me really sad for them. I suggest prayer (though I pray for them myself, too much can never hurt!) and they get sassy with me. I suggest talking to someone, they claim that no one listens. I don’t believe it. I believe they’re going crazy, due to all the drugs. Just one drug, mind you, but a lot of one drug. She’s gonna melt her brain, and I’m a little nervous just being around her.

Also, I have to say, I may be growing up. Recently, there was job drama, which was basically that a few of us wanted to go to Applebees, and the plans weren’t really set, they kept changing, so I ended up not going. The girls that I invited to go said all this crap about me, and one girl told me all the junk another said. Now, I don’t trust either of them as far as I can throw them, but I confronted the girl about it. She admitted she said everything and I told her that I was done with all of her childish gossip and that I was done with her. I refuse to associate myself with people who say such things about me, and are just Debbie Downers and life ruiners to begin with.
It can’t bother me, though, because I don’t care. We’re not friends. No matter how much she says she just wants to live without drama, she’s the root of all of it! It doesn’t add up, but I’m not gonna try and figure it out. 
People can be so ridiculous. They really can be. I thought I was crazy, but they make me look plain as a potato. It’s really not a gigantic deal about what is said about me, because if I had to choose to save them in a burning building over a complete stranger or an acquaintance, I’d choose the last two! I’m telling you. I love them, because I’m called to love everyone, but I’ll never trust them. No no no.
I’m happy with where things are going now. If only work could be actual work instead of petty gossip now!

Truer words have never been spoken →

smokendmirrors:

Thoughts from the 21st century:

1. I wish Google Maps had an “Avoid Ghetto” routing option.
2. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.
3. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
4. I don’t understand the purpose of the line, “I don’t need to drink to have fun.” Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they’ve invented the lighter?
5. Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you’re going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you’re crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
6. That’s enough, Nickelback.
7. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
8. Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the “people you may know” feature on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose not to be friends with?
9. Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn’t work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ’s. We just figured it out. Today’s kids are soft.
10. There is a great need for sarcasm font.
11. Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the f was going on when I first saw it.
12. I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I’ll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone’s laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I’m still the only one who really, really gets it.
13. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
14. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
15. I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
16. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.
17. A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.
18. Was learning cursive really necessary?
19. Lol has gone from meaning, “laugh out loud” to “I have nothing else to say”.
20. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
21. Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.
22. My brother’s Municipal League baseball team is named the Stepdads. Seeing as none of the guys on the team are actual stepdads, I inquired about the name. He explained, “Cuz we beat you, and you hate us.” Classy, bro.
23. Whenever someone says “I’m not book smart, but I’m street smart”, all I hear is “I’m not real smart, but I’m imaginary smart”.
24. How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear what they said?
25. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
26. Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using ‘as in’ examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss’s last name to an attorney and said “Yes that’s G as in…(10 second lapse)..ummm…Goonies”
27. What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
28. While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it…thanks Mario Kart.
29. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
30. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
31. I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.
32. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
33. I would like to officially coin the phrase ‘catching the swine flu’ to be used as a way to make fun of a friend for hooking up with an overweight woman. Example: “Dave caught the swine flu last night.”
34. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.
35. Bad decisions make good stories
36. Whenever I’m Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don’t mind if I do!
37. Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
38. If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.
39. Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I’m from, this shouldn’t be a problem….
40. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you’ve made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
41. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don’t want to have to restart my collection.
42. There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
43. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
44. “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this ever.
45. I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV.. There’s so much pressure. ‘I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren’t watching this. It’s only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?’
46. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?
47. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
48. When I meet a new girl, I’m terrified of mentioning something she hasn’t already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking.
49. I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it’s on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
50. Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles…
51. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
52. Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
53. It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
54. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
55. Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn’t know what do to with it.
56. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey – but I’d bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time…
57. My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day “Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?” How the hell do I respond to that?
58. It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.
59. I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
60. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
61. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.
62. The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. There’s nothing like being made to feel like a fat bastard before dinner
