Today was good.
I like where this is going.

Fair tomorrow, I'm ready to clog my arteries!
OH AND WHAT'S UP 95 IN ENGLISH 101?!?!?!
Stoked about that! :)

"When we're out in the market and out on the street, I've got a pocket full of problems and a pocket full of seeds; hoping something good might grow out of this mistletoe and I won't have to erase your memory. I like the way that our arguments stop when we fall asleep, and the way that your body feels when it's wrapped around me. And I'd like it if you made it to mine by Christmas Eve so you can hold me; and we'll watch Christmas TV.."

I'm in a really creative/indie/upbeat mood... I like it.

Day Ten/Day Eleven!

Day Ten: One confession.

1. I worry a lot about my future, and where I'm headed. If I'll get into a college that I want to go to, if I'll get married and have kids. If I'll live on friends' couches, or have my own house. If I'll be a theatre teacher, or work in a cubicle. I don't like not knowing.


Sorry, I was kindof slack yesterday and extremely busy! As soon as I got out of school, I went and got my check, went to the bank, and stopped by to see Nana. Then I went and saw Bran and his family for a bit, then got picked up by Mitch and his Mom and drove to Lake City/Kingstree for this carnival thing. It was fun. :) We got home really late and I fell asleep as soon as I hit my pillow.

Day Nine.

Day Nine: Two smileys that describe your life right now.

1. :)
2. :/


Today was good, surprisingly. Even though I didn't have a 4th block today because 101 is over, I went and sat with Mrs. Sullivan to get help with my lab notebook. I'm so disappointed with my grade in that class... :/ Also, I've become slightly addicted to dubstep. And now I know that 95% of Lugoff will also become addicted to dubstep after listening to this. I wish I saw a little more originality around here...

Day Eight.

Day Eight: Three turn ons.

1. Being a musician. Yum yum yum yum yum. Love that more than anything.
2. Being a gentleman; you know, the manners, the open the car door, pay for dinner kindof thing. Love it.
3. Being adventurous. Loveee that. New and exciting.


Today was pretty hilarious. I went in to school at 10 because the sophomores were taking the PSAT or something, and then I was told to come back at 11 because they weren't done. So Danny and I went to Waffle House and it was great.
Also, my English 101 final was today, and I KILLED IT. I was correcting sentences like a boss, and my paper is bad-"a". WUDDUP JOHN ELLEN!? Word.

Stevie

Day Seven.

Day Seven: Four turn offs.

1. Not knowing when to be serious. Don't get me wrong, I love sarcasm and thrive off of it, but there's a time and place for everything. Don't play with my feelings.
2. Having no taste/terrible taste in music. GROSS. I love introducing people to new, awesome music, but come on. You need to know songs/artists that don't consist entirely of making money, having sex, and doing drugs.
3. Do not be ignorant, arrogant, or over-confident. That's unattractive and plain rude.
4. IMPROPER GRAMMAR. Get it together, please.


Ohhhh I am so confused.
A;KFJAKL;JFLDAJLJDL; is how I feel.


I love this song <3

Day Six.

Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever).

1. Katherine J Horton.
2. Muti.
3. Matt.
4. Nana.
5. ______



Today was actually really good. I got like 2394057 compliments on my hair because it was straight. Odd, but thank you. Means a lot. I'm about to go get ready and get my senior pictures done for the yearbook! :) I can't believe it's already October. May 28 will be here shortly... Where has the time gone?

Oh and big thank you to KENDALL WALTERS for my cupcake <33 You're wonderful.

Tage Fünf.

Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.

1. Dated Chad. 'Nuff said.
2. Lied to Mom about that trip to Charleston last December.
3. Taken AP Chem.
4. Gotten a job at Chili's. It sucks.
5. Touched that burning hot skillet at work. That sucked.
6. Broken a heart.



Meh meh meh. This weekend was bland. But it was good seeing Sarah and Megan. They're both genuine people and I like hanging with them. Also glad I could see my best friend Kat! :) Hopefully this week will get better. This is my last week in English 101 and 102 starts the week after. Thank God.



Also, while I think about it, I think I'm going to go off the radar this week. As in, not taking phone calls, not answering texts, nothing. The only place I'll be out in public will be at work and school. This could be good for me.
So, sorry in advance for any inconvenience.

Stevie

Day Four.

Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.

1. What time is it?
2. COLLEGE APPS, GET THEM DONE!
3. Snaaaaack time.
4. I wonder what ____ is doing right now.
5. How many days left til graduation?
6. Work schedule.
7. ____ is playing a show at NBT on ____. :)


Sorry, this one wasn't as interesting or as detailed as previous posts.
Maybe I'll write something else later.

(5 minutes later...)
OH WAIT. I forgot about something. As awesome as I think it is to see so many people doing this ten day challenge, I do have one concern that I'd like to bring up.
I posted this ten-day challenge to challenge myself, and to be able to look back and see my answers. Again, I love that so many people have also gotten into this but DO NOT STEAL/CHANGE/MODIFY my answers and use them as yours. In college, they call that plagiarism and that's NOT COOL. I don't mean to start anything, because that's not the type of person that I am, but come on guys. Get a little original, will you?

Rant over.


Oh and one more thing: I just found this video of one of my favorite bands, Junior Astronomers. This song explains my life right now. Terrance, I love your baby dreads.

Day Three.

Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.

1. Have a love for music. Appreciate it. Judge songs by their lyrics and the emotions, not how popular they are on the radio. Sing me a song, play me a song, send me a link to your favorite song.
2. Go on a roadtrip with me to the beach. Make a good mix CD and have an intelligent conversation on the way there.
3. Call me beautiful instead of hot, sexy, or anything else that has no essence behind it. Trust me, it means a lot more than you think.
4. Take me on an adventure. Whether it be your favorite spot in the middle of nowhere, or on a scavenger hunt in a huge city. Be the person to plan a date.
5. Be a good person. Do not lie to me, ignore me intentionally, lead me on, or be disrespectful. This also includes having manners!
6. Surprise me. Unexpected cards, flowers, dinner, whatever. I'm a sucker for it all.
7. Bring me around your friends and your family. I'm a cool girl, and I can adapt to pretty much any situation. I promise that my sarcastic personality as well as my laid back attitude will go over well with your friends and your fam!
8. Express yourself and how you feel. I'm not a mindreader. If you're upset, let me know. If you're happy, let me know. I'll listen.


So there you go. 8 ways to win my heart.
Last night sucked. I was in the ER until 1:30 in the morning.
I hope this weekend will go over well...

Stevie

Day Two.

Day Two: Nine things about yourself.

1. My favorite color is green. Like my eyes. I think I have the most beautiful eyes in the world. And I don't say that because I'm conceited, I say it because I'm confident. There is a vast difference.
2. I love the beach, but not for the reasons that most people do. I don't go to look at hotties with no shirts on (I mean that's a plus...); I go because I enjoy the smell of the ocean, and the feel of the sand. I like laying and basking in the sunlight.
3. I am a musician. I play soprano ukulele, baritone ukulele, a little bit of the piano, any brass instrument (tuba, trombone, trumpet, french horn, etc..), and I can somewhat sing. I appreciate music as an art.
4. I appreciate the smallest things from gentlemen. A "good morning beautiful" text message, a card, flowers, a hug, a smile, a song, whatever! I love it.
5. I'm really insecure about my smile and my weight.
6. I can't wait to go to college; I'm a theater major. (Well, for now). I haven't decided where I want to go yet, and I'm still applying to places. Top choices at the moment are Furman, Coastal, and CofC.
7. I am a Christian, and I respect everyone's opinions about religion. Psalm 55:22.
8. I have this odd obsession with sailboats, starfish, seahorses, and anything nautical. I'll have to post a picture of my room.
9. I speak German. I went on a German exchange and had the time of my life. I plan to go back again, soon.


Today was actually a great day. School is becoming much more manageable. ALSO; John Ellen gave me a 96 on my research paper, and said that he'd bump it up to a 98 if I emailed him a copy. HOLY JUNK. I seriously almost vomitted once I got that back. Success.

Ten-Day Challenge. (Day One!)

I saw this on someone's tumblr, and thought it might be enjoyable. I mean, anything is worth a shot.

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever).
Day Seven: Four turn offs.
Day Eight: Three turn ons.
Day Nine: Two smileys that describe your life right now.
Day Ten: One confession.


Day One:
1. I know you only want what is best for me, but sometimes I wish that you'd just let me decide everything. I appreciate your input, but I need to live and learn. "Just let me run where I want to run, just let me love who I want..."
2. I admire your spirit in Christ. I'm sorry that things have been difficult for you lately, but you know I am here for you. You've become my best friend at Lugoff. Thank you for everything.
3. You're hard to read. I've always had a teeny weeny crush on you, but being in a class with you this year has just expanded that. I love your taste in music, and I hope you enjoy me introducing you to new music. I think you have a fabulous voice, and I am waiting on a song just for me. ;) Maybe something will happen with us, maybe not. Again, YOU'RE SO HARD TO READ. But, I think you're hilarious and a total cutie.
4. I hate how you used me as your backup girl. And yet I still have an ounce of feelings for you.
5. You are such a strong person! I really hope you don't get accepted to Harvard and we can go to college together... You're there for me through everything. And I'm so glad that we have had the opportunities to laugh together and create a bunch of crazy memories! Thanks for being my best friend.
6. You have ruined my life. You are such a lowlife. I have no respect for you, and it blows my mind to know that people are still your friend after everything that you did/said to me. You are a worthless whore.
7. Same goes for you.
8. You are an inspiration. I hope to get a degree in theatre and be as great of a teacher as you are.
9. I MISS YOU SO MUCH! You showed me the time of my life in Germany. You're like a sister to me, and I wish you were here right now. America misses you, darling. Come visit me soon. <3
10. I HATE YOU. I LOVE YOU. I'm done with you, for good.

Little Lion Man.

I have all of this love bottled up and I'm just dying to let someone have a share of it.





And I really like both of those, that's why I posted them.

I am tired of all of these stupid trendy scene kids out here in this town. Vintage vintage vintage FTW.
Gross. Be real.


OH AND I HATE MY JOB. D:<

Innocence vs. Experience

Life has gotten much better since September 21, 2010. Awesome.

First of all, I am finally over PJ. Yep. Go me. I've finally realized that I can't change him. I cannot make him the same person that he was. And I'm okay with that. I am no longer going to put forth any effort whatsoever to try and change him. So, yeah. Good stuff.

Secondly, these past two weekends have been great. Two weekends ago, I went to a house show and saw a good friend, Jordan, play. His voice is so impressive. And I got to hang out with Danny, Brandon, Ben, Michael, Kim, and Taylor. Which was cool. First group of people that I've hung with outside of school. That Saturday I went to Irmo High School with Matt to watch marching bands. It was fun. And then we went and had dinner with Katherine and my favorite restaurant, Mellow Mushroom. That was great.

This past weekend was by far the best. Friday night I got off of work and hung out with Sarah, Megan, Bob, and Jeff. Sarah and Megan are both really cool girls, and I'm glad they invited me to hang with them. Goes to show that there are actually some decent people in Lugoff. Saturday was great too! I went with my Mom and sisters to Newberry, SC to go to the Oktoberfest there. It wasn't all it was made out to be. But a great road trip and fun stuff. Then that night, Kat and I went to the freetimes musiccrawl, and crashed the Italian festival. Probably the most hilarious night of my life, and I will never forget it. I also have the Italian flag to remember it by.

All in all, life is moving along. School is moving along, and all of these pointless projects, endless amounts of homework, and stupid tests/quizzes will be over soon.

In the words of the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, "Skip classes, take chances, have fun; 'cause when it's over, it is done."
Amen.

ALSO! My English professor gave us this poem today. I love it.

"Johnny wrote a poem on yellow paper with green lines
and called it 'Family.'
And his teacher gave him an 'A' because that was what it was all about.
And his mother hung it up on the kitchen wall for all their friends to see.
And that was the year his little sister was born.
And the girl next door always smiled at him.
And his daddy tucked him in every night.

Johnny wrote a poem on white paper with blue lines.
And called it 'Love' because that was what it was all about.
And his teacher gave him an 'A-'
and told him to improve his grammar.
And his mother told him to take that stupid thing off the kitchen wall
because it had just been painted.
And the girl next door laughed at him when he fell off his bike.
And his dad got mad when he cried to be tucked in every night.

Johnny wrote a poem on plain white paper
And called it 'Peace of Mind.'
Because that was what he really wanted.
And that was the year he caught his sister necking on the porch.
And he found out theat when he kissed her
that the girl next door wore too much make-up.
And he tucked himself in every night.
Around three o'clock.

Johnny wrote a poem on the back of a book of matches.
And called it 'Absolutely Nothing.'
Because that was what it was.
And he gave himself an 'A,'
And two slashes on his wrists.

And he hung it on the bathroom wall.

Because he couldn't make it to the kitchen."
