Lets give it up for the New Year
Resolutions:
1. Stop falling into unhappy places and getting stuck there
2. Try to do positive things for other people (donating things, Tour de Cure, etc)
3. Go outside more often, camp when weather permits even on schoolnights
4. Take classes because they seem important, not easy
5. Keep in touch with friends better, send letters, call instead of texting all the time
6. Paint more for fun...

I would just text/call you, but my phone is hiding from me somewhere in my house. I thought I would be able to come to Little Rock tomorrow and see you guys and hopefully some other faces :( That doesn’t look like it’s going to happen anymore. I leave on Sunday and I still have a lot left to do before I go. Hopefully, I can try and work something out for Saturday but...
I hate...
jumping to conclusions. Example: Someone doesn’t text me back for three days, I assume they don’t want to talk to me, reality is they lost their phone.
The above situation is hypothetical but I have noticed that I jump the gun in a lot of situations. And I wish I didn’t because its really lame to accuse someone of ignoring you or being mad at you when they...
Things to do before Jack arrives:
katrynastumbles:
-dismount Christmas items in room -scrub toilet and shower (eh, necessary..) -sweep floors -finish laundry -collect trash
GET HER BIRTHDAY/CHRISTMAS PRESENTS! AHHH
Things to do before leaving for katryna’s:
Pack

Fucking pack
Clean room (ish…Dad always threatens that he will do it if I don’t so at the very least I should put all my important...
There is a numbness
in your heart and its growing.
I love The Shins. And I also love to read. And to draw. And to dye my hair.
I do not love being cold. Or forgetting to make myself lunch. Or putting sheets on beds.
I cannot wait to see Katryna. :D And Maryam, I am not sure what time I will be in Little Rock Thursday but I will let you know soon.
Same Resolution: Get the Money
maryamsmiles:
Okay. I’m doing this a little earlier than usual, but I’ve finally decided on my resolutions. Also, if you can identify what 1999 smash hit the title is from, I will make you a brownie. Okay, maybe I won’t…but I’ll think you are very cool. Here they are:
Write every single day for a year (I’ve started a different blog for this, I might share it when I stop being embarrassed of my...
I love the OHOHs in music
Today I have to clean up from the mess that was Christmas at my house. I have to pick up all the boxes, stockings, blankets (there are approximately 9 blankets in my living room, not sure why) do dishes, etc.
Tomorrow I think (not sure) Jacob is getting back.
And then Thursday I go to Katrynas.
I might go to Little Rock today to try to see a few people but if I can’t I will be able to...
my "why i'm gonna burn" moment for the week...
sureynot:
so, today my family received a visit from one of my mom’s (and technically my) cousins.
since none of you know my family, then i’ll inform you that i have 11 great aunts and they all had at least 3 children… multiplication mandates that i have a somewhat rather large family. since birth, I’ve been introduced to literally hundreds of them (around 40%) of them all… I remember less than...
She's crafty, she gets around
All right. I just made my mom think it was her idea for me to stay at Katryna’s for a week instead of a weekend. :D
I can’t wait.

Brittany’s post reminded me that I also got a case for my ds, a case for games, tetris, brainage, and combined with my sisters I got a lot of other games like Mariocart and Zoo tycoon.
I’m hitting up ebay and craigslist looking for more games : P
I don’t wanna pay like $28 - $40 a piece! I want BrainAge and Mario games soooo bad!
Talk to Jacob. He...

Happppy Birthday, Jack! I’m sad we did not see each other. However, I am making cookies soon and although I cannot send them to you across the border, I will post cookie porn for you. A card is also in the mail. I miss you!
I know, I was also sad I missed you. As was Jacob. I still have your birthday card because I was going to just give it to you but I will send it since I...
PSA for the day
joshbregy:
Roads are beginning to be closed in Little Rock. Flooding is possible in many parts of the state. Do not go out and drive unless you have to. Also, some portions of the state can see snowfall during the night. This mainly pertains to Northern portions of Arkansas. In the Central regions, there could be a rain/snow mix. Have a Merry Christmas and be safe.
You would be so proud of me...
I hate people
joshbregy:
I was trying to watch the weather and my mom and sister were throwing a damn fit because I would not leave so they could wrap my present… in the living room! I said I would leave as soon as the weather was over. Well, they continued with their fit and were talking during the weather. I told them to be quiet numerous times but still, they continued on. I said that I am one, watching...
Christmas Eve Morning
katrynastumbles:
I woke up this morning at 430 am. I couldn’t get back to sleep, so I ate all of the oatmeal cookies and watched a Christmas special of The Office until my mom woke up.
Now that she’s awake we drank our coffee and I showered and she’s baking cookies! And The Mummy is on! But I have to make the 25 minute drive into town to drop off our Christmas dinner supplies at my sister’s...
I'm going to go out on a limb and risk a flame war
johnwongserious:
There’s been some talk about Adam Curlin recently, and I must say that while Adam is discourteous at best, he speaks his mind freely. If that kind of honest trolling really irritates you, then perhaps it is best not to respond.
As for ad-hominem attacks in retaliation to his original comment — I don’t think they were necessary or justified. His brash commentary was about the...
I am making chicken
Jacob is on his way over
I like the holiday season
"The Most Upsetting Fact of the Decade" →
joshbregy:
(via beccarules)
I totally agree! I hate that band. They are absolutely atrocious! And there were much more deserving artists/bands out there that should have been voted Band of the Decade.
I thought we were all being punked. Maybe Ashton got caught up somewhere.
It is really strange to live at home after months of not living at home.
maryamsmiles:
I have to do something about: this empty bank account, my un-pierced nose, my lack of control over my hair, the suitcase full of laundry i brought home, my unkempt eyebrows, this boredom, my inability to wake up before noon, etc.
you know, before people besides my family see me. i’m quite embarrassing at the moment.
You should come to our winter celebration Tuesday night.
Hedgehog
Just sent my email explaining my vast hedgehog care knowledge to Got Hedgehogs (props to Janie for telling me about them) and am now awaiting the reply.
lazy friday nights
sssstanger:
I drove to my professor’s house last night with a group of kids from my class to drop off my final exam, that was exciting. Then I watched Notting Hill and swooned for two hours over Hugh Grant. Then I chatted online with a friend for hours, which was lovely :D and some interesting topics were discussed… Now it’s Saturday morning and I’m drinking hot chocolate while watching the snow...

I got permission to take Intro to Furniture Design next semester. :D
Don’t you love it when you get permission to take all of these upper level classes? It is wonderful. I was given permission to take Geography of Natural Hazards. I love life!
It is nice. I am so excited.
I got permission to take Intro to Furniture Design next semester. :D
Also, never heard Journey
katrynastumbles:
Until the first episode of Glee. People don’t really believe me when I talk about how musically sheltered I am. It’s a product of my parents not letting me listen to any secular music when I was a child. The Beatles? First heard them last year. Further proof.
WHATTTTTT
Thats so crazy. Especially because when I was like five my mom would have me in the car with the radio on...
undie run=annoying run

katrynastumbles:
And wtf is up with that conch!?!
Katryna, I ran the Undie Run. I’m sorry it was annoying. It was really quite fun though. My apologies.
I think it sounds like a decent way to blow off some steam. Although, I would prefer the naked bike ride. :)
LAST CLASS
Just went to my last class of the semester! Now I only have one final (ASL) and then I am done. :D
I am enjoying Taking Woodstock.
“Once you’ve seen me drunk, sober will never do.”
– Katryna (not sure if this was before or after she laid down in the road or when she ran off down the street singing “CATCH ME JACK. COME CHASE ME”

I went to Goodwill today with my roommate and bought three sweaters, one vest, and one flannel. We had a lot of fun, and I only spent 12 bucks. Win.
I also have a new obsession. His name is Alex Day. He’s a vlogger on youtube (no idea if you guys have heard of him, but i’m guessing no), British, 20 years old, has a cd, pretty funny, and quite adorable. So yea, as a new distraction...
I Hope You Had the Time of Your Life

I’m realizing…
I turn EIGHTEEN in 4 days. Which is as scary as it is exciting.
I’m also realizing I graduate in approximately 168 days.
In short, HOLY SHIT I’M GROWING UP D:
Were you guys this scared to think about graduation, college, adulthood, responsibility? >.<
It seems like the majority vote is no to this… And in all honesty I wasn’t afraid of...
yay (:

austin’s mom chilled out a bit.
he has internet and phone again (: which is nice because i enjoy talking to him.
i’m baking gingerbread cookies today. and i’m thinking about attempting a mint chocolate cheesecake.
Please come live with me! I can make dinner and you can make dessert! Like a tiny family of weirdos we could be.

i saw people reblogging some celebrity that looked attractive enough. but when i remembered that celebrity pictures are often photo-shopped to all oblivion, i remember that the people i meet every day are exponentially more beautiful than those celebrities will ever be off the camera.
and why don’t you have a girlfriend? You are awesome!
