End-of-Year Ramble

I'm done with school! YAY! .... Until January. Oh well, better than nothing, right? Anyway, here's a reflection of last year...

2010 has been really different for me. I've learned to drive (going to get my license on the 15th), found out who my friends were, spent Thanksgiving at home, and got a fantastic English score. And this is all just recent stuff!

I'll admit, I had no idea where to start this.

The friends thing may actually be part of a misunderstanding. I'm not elaborating, but some people know what I'm talking about. I'm kind of glad he's gone, if I think about it, because something's been up with him and I wasn't liking it. I do miss having someone to talk to all the time, though. And by chance, I've mad two new great friends, all from lunch. Awesome, huh? They mean a lot to me.

We spent Thanksgiving at home for - I think - the first time in my life. Family can be so finicky. "Sorry" for being "masses of in-laws" and loving my sister. But my sister's family did come over and we had a blast! I think that was the night I went over to their place and we played Left 4 Dead until midnight. Oh zombies, how I love to kill thee.

You know how we have to take these huge state tests every year? Well, we had the writing one at the end of November and just got the scores back. I got the first 4 Smithville's ever had! (4 is the highest score.) Yeah, I was pretty excited.

OK, so I'm kind of out of stuff to talk about. Really I wanted to type this so I could thank all the people I know just for being here for me, even though most of them will never see this.

Kim, Summer, Brianna, Nykia, Michael, Dakota, I love you guys! Merry Christmas <3

OMGWTFBBQ

Holy mess, I'm not dead! I have, however, been EXTREMELY busy.

I've had some band competitions recently (1A champs again!) and took the English II state exam yesterday. Three hours of nothing but reading. And I was one of the ones who finished early! Not to mention my World History class. Uhg, I hate it! I usually have homework every night.

Personally, some things have been good and others bad. The medicine I've got for my anxiety has be oober tired all the time. Had a rough time with one of my best friends and he won't even talk to me about it. Some family issues; this was the first year I remember us staying home on Thanksgiving. But Christmas is coming around so super excited about that! It's going to be perfect~

So yeah, just an update I guess. Hopefully I'll be able to get on here more. So yeah, bye!

I've been Twittered!

Don't ask why...

Just go!

Weird IMMD Moment

So my fever's spiking and I can't tell if listening to Hilary Duff and Aly & AJ is from it or just an interest in music from my childhood when I decide to get on my mom's Club Pogo and play some solitaire. I'm totally losing this game when this couple get on the chat and start talking. Being the sick (literally) and nosey person I am, I like reading other people's conversations. First it looks like an e-fling, but then they start talking about 'coming over' and then it ends up on gin. I couldn't tell for a while if they were talking about the game or the drink, but they start talking about being lonely and getting it on. This ends up being the funniest, most disturbing thing I could think of right now, and of all places. I hope they know they're on a public chat with 29 other people right now. Oh yeah, and strip poker and birthday suits.

Don't ask... But I needed this.

.....

OHMAHGAWD nevermind, I'm leaving this room.

Boo sickiness!

It's been a while. Like, a month. Yeah.

But I'm sick.

We went to the doctor today. So after about three panic attacks, we go to get my prescription filled (and some ice cream, because apparently what anxiety does to me) and now I'm back at home. I was watching Batman with daddy, but it was too hot up there so now it's Don't Forget The Lyrics back in my room. Why don't I ever know any of these songs?

Anyway, that's my update. Be happy.

Products I Used... (Add on to YT Vid)

Gah, my huge nose!

Here's a link to the bubzbeauty vid! (Check her out, she's got some great tutorials!) And here's a link to my vid! (Which is not so great, but still.)

So I made this SUPER quick video about this makeup tutorial. I've put my own spin on it, but hey, that's what makeup's about! Anyway, here's what I was wearing and/or used for the video and where I got it... (Yes, this is the acutal order I do my makeup in!)

You probably noticed that most of this stuff is cheap, drugstore makeup. A, I do not believe in spending a fortune on makeup and 2, the closest high-end makeup place (Ulta) is about an hours drive from my house. But hey, this stuff works for me and feel free to use your own makeup and imagination!

I had a dream...

I dreamed we were back in Oklahoma. We (being me, my mom, and my cousin) were filling up the car at a gas station in front of walmart when we saw one of my other cousins. She had been in a car accident and had a huge sling on her left arm. She had two children with her and was even pumping gas with a kid on her hip. Next I was in the store. Mom had asked me to buy beer but I didn't want to, so she had me buy water instead. After that, me and my brother were walking through some kind of massive sweet shop. I talked him into buying me some cake. We find an entire section of the store with penguin-themed items and I buy a few, all for $1. I wanted to get a pen, too, but it was twenty. $19.95 to be exact. I wasn't paying that much, so we left. I also remember hearing girls gossipping near the frozen food section in walmart and being in my dad's truck and driving to Georgia at some point.

I think my dream was trying to tell me that even with something good (being back in Oklahoma), there's something wrong with it (my cousin, the beer, prices).

More later. I wasn't even really up to writing this.
