Frenchie

I just stopped trying to explain, and the words dried away...

ALMOST TWO YEARS LATER...

I was bored and I went back and read almost my entire journal. I think it would be a shame to forget about all the years of memories I have stored here, and I'm a little bit sad that the memories from the last portion of my life aren't here.

SCHOOL
So, I'm pretty much twenty years old now, and everyone is telling me to go to college and secure a future. I'm not down with that. I can go on a big long rant about feeling pressured to commit to something I can't be sure I'll love, and I can tell you all about how the entire idea of putting a price and a grade on education feels like blasphemy... but I'm sick of talking about it so I won't.

FAMILY
After three years of constant limbo, in November of 2006 my family finally moved out of Arvada and moved on from the divorce. We're living in a rental in Westminster and trying to put the peices back together. I spent so long in a life of constant change, though, that I don't know how to live in security anymore. I'm looking to act like a grown-up, now, and move to Boulder with Brandon and Beardy.

CAREER
After the pizza place tried to kill me, I went into the coffee business. I work for Starbucks and I can make a cappucino like you wouldn't believe. I love my job, for the most part, and it's honestly changed my life. I know it's not impressive or lucrative, but for now my job /does/ make me feel fullfilled and productive and that's more than most people I know can say.

MUSIC
I've all but stopped going to concerts, because I can never find the time. I think the only show I've seen has been Kan'nal - but I did see them three times. Due to my friends being complete hippies, we've got this habit of jamming on tribal drums and didgeridoos now. It's pretty great.

MOVIES
There are two years worth of movies to talk about, and a lot of them were good. V for Vendetta and Little Miss Sunshine stand out in my head right now.

ROMANCE
This would be a really long topic if I actually spent time to write about it. Long story short, Logan and I were together for over two years and I can honestly say that I had a high school sweetheart. It was a long, sweet relationship and I could talk about it forever. We broke up in November, and since then I've been in a place to reexamine myself and what I want from life. I'm making a concious choice to /date/... not fall into relationships, not stay away from them... but to be like the rest of the world and actually go out on dates to get to know people. It turns out that dating is just as awkward as they make it look on TV, but it's pretty fun.

FRIENDS
Oh my goodness. Brandon went away for six months to join Americorp and came back an even cooler person than he was before. Patrick went away for six months to Alaska and came back and even cooler person than he was before, too. Mckayla didn't go anywhere, but growing up just seems to make everyone a cooler person than they were before. Brittney and Melissa and Eli are all living in snazzy hip apartments in a college town and being rockstars. There are plenty of new people in my life, too - Sean and Louis and the other Melissa and all my co-workers...

SPIRITUALITY
Lately I've been really into trying to find spirituality in the little moments in my life. I feel like I'm always searching for contentment when what I really want and need is a new adventure. I'm trying to find balance in all of the exetremes in my life and in myself. I'm realized why Dragonfest is so important to me - because the deepest part of my being, I am always searching for community.

BOOKS
I've been getting pretty into Niven again, lately. I just read Integral Trees and The Smoke Ring, and I loved the first but the end of the second one left me unhappy with the whole thing.

EVENTS
Umm... I don't even know what that means any more. Seriously, I don't.

COMPUTER
It looks like I'm getting my mother's old computer when she gets a new one sometime this week. Maybe that means I'll remember livejournal exsists, maybe it won't.

Thu, 06 Oct 2005 02:10:37 GMT

I have a job, now. Finally. It is pretty sweet. YEAH.

... That is the most exciting thing ever. So there.

I'm speaking figuratively of course...

Wed, 14 Sep 2005 01:38:10 GMT

I am so sick. Ewwwwwwwww.

I'm totally on MySpace, finally. frenchieclaire, be my friend because I am a loser.

I need a haircut like a motherfucker.

He's a gentleman who plays a caricature of a character he wishes he was...

Sun, 11 Sep 2005 17:08:39 GMT

Saturday is definitely the best day of the week. Who doesn't love Saturdays?

School, by itself, is not-quite-awesome. However, school gives me loads of other opportunities - like 48 volunteer hours at event planning companies in Denver. I'm spending and overwhelming amount of my free time for the next few weeks at Colorado Event Organizers doing busywork and helping them with the clean up work from a recent oncologist convention. As boring as that sounds, it's /excellent/. I'm learning sO MUCH. Plus, on Thursday, I get to go to the Cirque du Soleil rehearsal for free, because the company is hiring them for an event next week. God, I'm awesome.

Logan, Veronica, Brandon and myself got egged infront of Starbucks last night. My arm is bright purple from the egg that hit me. Wtf, mate?

Brandon has E.V.O. (an old Super Nintendo game that I used to play as a kid) and I'm going to steal it from him so bad. asdfghjkl; You don't even know how much I need that game.

And now... I'm going to go zone out on Sims 2. YESSS.

Come and go, Saturn here we come...

Mon, 05 Sep 2005 15:48:51 GMT

I don't know if anything noteworthy has happened. I mean, a LOT of things have happened, but since there are so many things, none of them seem important enough to be the one or two things I talk about here.

The world is a powerful scary place.

OMG A ZOMBIE AAAAH

Sun, 28 Aug 2005 15:44:00 GMT

I am alive.

My computer is not.

A powerful lot of things have happened. These things include, but are not limited to:

Going to Dragonfest, becoming super close to Brandon because everyone loves dirty hippies, falling deeper in love with Logan, Eli went insane in a very bad way, enrolling in school, starting school, and reading lots of awesome books.

I need to get my phone to stop failing so I can show you guys CRAZY PICTURES OMG.

I miss my online friends. ;_;.

Put my last quarter on, I play Authority Song...

Sat, 11 Jun 2005 04:18:17 GMT

Seven-and-a-half months later, it is time for another...

SCHOOL
In case you haven't been paying attention, shortly after last time I did this I left CDL and began homeschooling again. I jumped from a silently sinking ship, it turns out - CDL lost its public charter and is, for all intent and purpose, closing down after this summer. I continued to put off taking the GED test because I am powerful weak and I think that I am even stupider than I am. In the last week I finally sucked it up and took the pre-tests. It looks like I'm going to be a-okay.

FAMILY
Divorces suck ALMOST as much as marriages, apparently. For the past seven months my family has lived in a constant state of limbo, fearful and confused. My younger siblings are visiting their father's family in Texas and I want them home NOW. I miss them.

CAREER
No job. Not quite fucked for life... yet.

MUSIC
I, uh, saw Hellogoodbye live finally. It was crazy classy. Turns out Kenny had a right to be a diva, as TSL's new album owns my soul. I forgot Straylight Run's CD at home this week and that is very sad.

MOVIES
The original Buffy The Vampire Slayer movie is still, so many years later, the pinnacle of perfection in modern filmmaking. Return of the Sith was pretty sweet, too. Ever since I found out they were making a Narnia movie there has been a little part of my brain constantly quivering in anticipation. Hitchhiker's was good, but not life-altering.

ROMANCE
I have this boyfriend. I take his wonderful prescence in my life for granted on a daily basis. We've had a few little rough patches, but overall he's pretty much one of the most important influences on the person I'm growing into being. He was also bitten by a radioactive armadillo... but it must have been a sexy, radioactive armadillo, because whew... he sure is fun to look at. ;)

FRIENDS
All of my friends have this bad habit of trying to integrate me into their other friend's lives. It always ends up disasterous... not that I don't appreciate the effort. I didn't talk to any of the CDL kids, except Simon, for about six months, but now we're starting to catch up again. It's odd. Brandon went and grew up when I wasn't looking, Mary Jo is finding herself, Dylan is worrysome and frightening, Mckayla is still flaky and frustrating, Jeff has given up on himself and so has everyone else, Simon will always be Simon. Shea and I talk sometimes, now... but I always wonder why? Brittney went through a self-absorbed phase, but she's back now and she brought Eli with her.

SPIRITUALITY
Dragonfest is coming up. I'm pretty excited... and nervous. This will, very likely, be my last year. We'll see how it goes.

BOOKS
I don't read as much when I'm not bussing every day. I sure do love Spider Robinson, though, he's the coolest guy ever.

EVENTS
I went to CDL's graduation and it wasn't depressing at all. It was closure that I needed, even if I didn't get it in the way I wanted it. Shea kept molesting poor Logan, but Logan is pretty much the coolest kid ever and he handled it better than you would think. Dylan showed up fake-drunk and it angered many people. Brandon made the perfect speech and I love him for it. Jeff is a moron. Who would have though that Kevin would grow up, too? Gavin is going to spend four months snow-camping in Antartica, because he's the weirdest guy I know.

COMPUTER
My grandmother is on dial-up internet. It is powerful annoying.

Just because it is in a cut doesn't mean you aren't going to be beaten severely if you don't read it. There will be a pop quiz, so don't skip it, dumbface.

Sunlight's overwhelming the scene thats composed of you and me...

Wed, 08 Jun 2005 04:37:32 GMT

My computer at home is very seriously about to bite the big one.

But I'm at my grandmother's this week.

As usual, stuff has happened in my life that you will probably never have the priveledge to know about - not because I don't want you to know, but purely because I am much too lazy to type it all up.

So what's been going on, interweb world?

We could make plans for the movies on Saturday night...

Mon, 23 May 2005 07:12:47 GMT

Brittney is powerful crazy but I love her.

My teeth HURT. I just want to stab myself in the mouth, I think that would feel nicer.

The second season of Deadwood is over and now my life is completely meaningless.

It is unbelievably depressing to go see your friend's graduations and know that even though you'll have a degree, you won't get that sort of unity and celebration. It sure does make a person feel like she's a failure, let me tell you. Or maybe I won't.

This entirely poitless entry is over now, as I am going to go play video games in bed.

I will dig a hole and label it love...

Thu, 19 May 2005 10:06:55 GMT

The majority of the people I went to see Star Wars with thought it sucked. I thought it was awesome, but I have a reputation for liking horrible movies.

I didn't see the movie until tonight (rather, this morning), because it turns out AMC sucks at printing tickets. I also didn't have a root canal, because it turns out I'm insane. So much for careful planning. Ah, well.

Simon and I have decided to incorporate two new phrases/words into our daily vocabulary, because they are rad.

The first is "classy", which is a word that is not used nearly enough. We will, from here on out, whenever possible use "classy" to mean the same thing as "cool", "awesome", and "super". For instance, "I thought Star Wars III: Return of the Sith was classy."

The second is "powerful", which is a word that Simon has been using and I am adopting his usage. We will, from here on out, whenever possible use "powerful" to replace words like "very" and "really", usually only when they describe a negative adjective. For instance, "The girl in the lobby was powerful rude."

Now you know.

Your lips they pout and twist...

Mon, 16 May 2005 16:24:06 GMT

I now have both the Straylight Run album and the new Starting Line album. They make me happy.

I actually worked out yesterday. I was terribly proud of myself. I feel /so/ awesome today, because I am a nerd. YES.

asdfghjkl; The second season of Deadwood is over next week. I have no idea what I am going to do with my life without Deadwood for almost a year. No, I'm kidding, I'm sure that I'll survive. But I will miss Deadwood.

I've been hanging out with Brittney and Melissa alot more lately. It's been pretty freaking amazing.

I'm finally getting my dental work done. Pulpotomy last Thursday, root canal tomorrow, crown and cavity prep on the 24th. So far I've only actually spent $220, but the root canal is another $925. The crown is going to cost my firstborn child and a box of wafers.

STAR WARS TOMORROW, BITCHES. That's right, I'm going to STAR WARS only hours after having a nerve in my molar drilled from my mouth. I am so hardcore.

Ummm... And I cut all my hair off.

-->

AAH CRAP BAD LIGHTING NO UGH KILL ME AAAH

I am the coolest person I know. It's true.

I have the same haircut as this one boy that goes to Brittney's school. But he wears girl's pants, so I'm not sure which one of us has actually lost touch with our gender.

If you are in communities with me, you will see those alot. Unless I get lazy.

And if we blossom...

Fri, 06 May 2005 03:04:26 GMT

I am going to chop all of my hair off on Saturday. It is going to be sweet. I also desperately need a change of color, but I'm out of ideas on how. I had wanted to go back to blonde... but I am nervous.

Umm... My life is not very interesting. My old advisement from CDL went to London, those lucky bastards. I applied for a job at Conoco and didn't get it because I'm too cool for them. My cousin from Texas visited with her little girl and it was pretty cool. As of today, Logan and I have been together for six months. Besides that, I got nothing except cool hats.

They'll find you at your most vulnerable...

Wed, 27 Apr 2005 06:55:16 GMT

I always intend to write a real entry, I really do. I always want to type up something, but everything I could say either doesn't seem important enough or it seems too important for me to word correctly.

I hate watching things slowly changing. It's not that I don't like change - no, I'm pretty cool with change. And it's not that I'm desperate for it, either - I actually think I could handle if there wasn't change. But this slow metamorphisis is driving me crazy. It seems like everything in everyone's life is beginning to grow and change and no one seems to acknowledge it at all, like they're not admitting it because talking about it will jinx it. Or maybe talking about it will make it real and they're not ready for that. And I don't even know which side I'm on, either. I hate the waiting and pretending to ignore it. I hate waiting patiently for something and not even knowing what I'm waiting for.

I fear that this is my verion of 18 Syndrome. We'll see if I recover.

If only I knew the key to sing to make you mine...

Sat, 23 Apr 2005 00:55:56 GMT

I went to prom,

More to be added as they start turning up.

I'm getting older and older all of the time...

Thu, 14 Apr 2005 08:51:04 GMT

In exactly one week it will have been exactly two years since I wrote this gem of an lj entry.

See, he really is everything I've ever wanted. Reading that entry made me drop my pen and stare for a good three or four minutes.

I am so fucking clairvoyant.

This is your chance...

Tue, 12 Apr 2005 05:31:55 GMT

I miss when my hair was short and blonde. I was so cool back then.

My siblings and I built and igloo on the deck in our backyard today. Actual Conversation:
Kenner(the 8-year-old mad scientist): We should name our igloo.
Sylvia(the 10-year-old drama queen): We should. Lots of buildings have names.
Kenner: But what could we name it?
Aly(the 18-year-old coolest person ever): We should name is Ricardo.
Kenner & Sylvia: Yeah. Okay.

They just agreed to that like it made sense or something. No change in attitude whatsoever. Then we decided Ricardo was just the codename, it's official title was Cair Paravel. Man, they are super awesome. So is Ricardo.

And since no one ever comments unless there is an un-lj-cutted picture, feast your eyes upon a cam picture or two from last month that I was too lazy to upload. It's like Valentine's Day, only Logan has shorter hair and I look less slutty.

I was tickling him in that first one because I'm a horrible person.

You're what I look most forward to...

Wed, 06 Apr 2005 20:48:53 GMT

I forgot to post and go, "holy crap, i am eighteen!11"

So, uh, now I have. A week-and-a-half late. GO TEAM FRENCHIE.

Who needs shelter when the morning's coming?

Fri, 25 Mar 2005 04:05:57 GMT

My dress came in the mail today.

The world also exploded.

Birthday Party: CANCELLED
What is the point of having a birthday if you can't have a party?
I turn eighteen in less than four days. It really just doesn't seem worth it.

I'm going to go feel sorry for myself for a while now.
I'm terribly selfish.

This song makes me so very very nostalgic.
Is it summer yet?

Sat, 19 Mar 2005 08:32:11 GMT

Deadwood could very well be the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life.

Yes, I'm aware that I'm late on this. But I just realized it this evening.

Tue, 15 Mar 2005 05:57:59 GMT

I am updating two days in a row. What kind of crap is that?

I just bought that dress for prom. Fuck yes.

I will stage a reenactment...

Mon, 14 Mar 2005 09:16:32 GMT

Logan was sad because no one ever posts anymore. I hate it when Logan is sad. So now you all get to read stuff that is terribly uninteresting. SWEET.

3. EYES: Honestly, it depends on my mood. Usually, greeny-gray, but they can be quite blue if I'm thinking too hard.

15. HAVE YOU EVER CHEATED?: This one time I looked at the paper of the kid who sat infront of me during a spelling test in fourth grade, but I ended up not using his answer because he was a moron. Does that count? (And no, I have never cheated in a relationship that I knew was a relationship.)

18. WHAT KINDA CAR YOU HAVE/WANT?: An automatic that works. That'd be fucking sweet.

*******FAVORITE QUESTIONS*******

19. MOVIE: Buffy The Vampire Slayer (the original movie), True Romance (really, Tarantino's finest work, very underrated), Get Shorty (this new movie scares me), and anything that makes me happy.
20. SONGS: This honestly changes at least twice a day.
22. TV SHOWS: Law & Order (any episode with Briscoe and/or McCoy, although I love Curtis and Green equally as second detectives and Ross is definitely my favorite D.A. - is that nerdy enough for you?) Best Week Ever, The Daily Show.

29. COLOR: White, but if you're a uptight bitch and call that shade, then yellow.

*******LOVE LIFE ETC*******

30. DO YOU PLAN ON HAVING CHILDREN? Oh, hahahahaha. The little voice inside my head that sounds like Shea just said, "For breakfast!" That kid has had way too much of an influence on muy thought process.
31. DO YOU WANT TO GET MARRIED? I honestly don't think about it. I figure it might happen, but if it doesn't I don't think it'll matter all that much. It'd be cool if it did, but it'd be cool if it didn't.
32. HOW OLD DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR FIRST CHILD?: When I'm old enough to provide for a munchkin and be a good example of responsibility without losing two very important things: zest for life and a youthful outlook on fun.
33. HOW OLD DO YOU WANNA BE WHEN YOU GET MARRIED?: I just decided, as I wrote this, that I want to be one of those cool old people in movies who get married when they're, like, 68. And then me and my new spouse would buy a trendy motorhome and travel across country with some tin cans and a sign that said "JUST RETIRED" duct taped to the back.
34. WOULD YOU HAVE KIDS BEFORE MARRIAGE?: I don't plan anything, planning is for suckers. It is, however, my life goal to adopt - ideally a girl from China because of their population laws. Is it considered taboo and ungodly to adopt out of wedlock?
35. DO YOU HAVE A BF/GF?: Whenever I see those abbreviations, I pronounce them in my head as "Biff" and ".gif". Anyway, there is that one kid I hang out with sometimes. You know, the super hot one with the sweet taste in weird movies.
37. DO YOU HAVE A CRUSH: I really wish I could think of a snappy comment to say right now. 'Cuz Donnie Darko totally mindfucked me.

*****EITHER/OR (PICK WHICH ONE YOU PREFER)**********

54. IS IT RIGHT TO FLIRT IF YOU HAVE A BF/GF?: This depends on your definition of flirting. If you are an uptight asshole and your definition is "having a conversation and obviously enjoying someone's company", yes that is a-okay. If your definition of flirting is much... broader... like, say, "groping/sexually-massaging/molesting someone", then maybe you should talk it over with your significant other first. Good luck with that.

64. HAVE YOU EVER GONE SKINNY-DIPPING?: Yes.
65. DO YOU SLEEP WITH STUFFED ANIMALS?: One - a lovely little stuffed dog that is the softest thing EVER and I've associated it with a smell that it doesn't actually have.
66. DO YOU HAVE ANY PIERCINGS?: Not anymore. Soon, oh lovely world, soon.
67. WHAT ARE YOU WEARING RIGHT NOW?: Pandamonium, pinstripe dress pants, and grey-and-black argyle socks, because I had my mary janes on earlier and the bowler. I was SUPPOSED to go to the store, but then I got distracted by the aforementioned Game Boy Advance SP.
68. WHAT SONG ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIHT NOW?: Coheed & Cambria, Hearshot Kid Disaster. And the motorbike is particularly rythmic right now.
69. NUMBER?: 7202752720
70. WHERE WOULD YOU WANT TO GO ON YOUR HONEYMOON?: "...And then me and my new spouse would buy a trendy motorhome and travel across country with some tin cans and a sign that said 'JUST RETIRED' duct taped to the back."

73. WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?: Me.
75. WHAT'S THE NEXT CD YOU GONNA GET?: Probably Jason Mraz, I keep meaning to buy it. I sincerely hope the person who wrote this quiz gets SARS. "You gonna get"? I hope the next purchase they made was a book on basic english. I'm not asking for perfection here, people, that would be radically hypocritical. Please, though, let's try to not to be Jar Jar Binks.
76. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS OR GLASSES? Do you?
77. WHAT'S THE BEST ADVICE GIVEN TO YOU?: When people say things that hurt your fragile self-esteem, take a step back and look at who is saying it. THANK YOU GAVIN.
78. HAVE YOU EVER WON ANY SPECIAL AWARDS?: I have a "Director's Award" from May 7, 1998 when I used to play cello.
79. WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE GOALS?: To have someone offer me something by only saying the name of it as a question (like, they'd hold out a menu at a restaurant and say, "Menu?"), and being able to say, "Yes, it is." very casually and then continue my previous conversation. I will continue my mother's legacy.
80. WORST SICKNESS YOU EVER HAD?: Captain Tripps.
81. DO YOU LIKE FUNNY OR SCARY MOVIES BETTER? Funny and/or stuff that makes me think.
82. ON THE PHONE OR IN PERSON?: In person, unless I hate you.
83. HUGS OR KISSES?: I would be totally happy with being foreign so I could have an excuse to kiss everyone.
84. WHAT SONG REFLECTS YOU MOST?: I'm a vampire, I don't have a reflection.
85. IF YOU DIED TOMORROW- WHO WOULD YOU LEAVE EVERYTHING TO?: I don't really have stuff that matters, I don't think. I should write up a will, just to be a bitch, and leave everything to Mckayla and Brittney to divide up how they want. It'd be like a hilarious sitcom.
86. DO YOU HAVE ANY ENEMIES: My phone. Eden. Apparently, everyone I have ever dated considers me a whore and a venomous bitch from hell. That is so cool.
88. WOULD YOU RATHER BE RICH OR FAMOUS?: Is there a difference anymore?
89. WHAT TIME IS IT IN ALBANIA RIGHT NOW?: 12:47.
90. IF YOU HAD 24 HOURS LEFT TO LIVE, WHO WOULD YOU SPEND THAT TIME WITH?: My kids, my family. Logan, Mckayla, Eli, Bree, Shea, Dylan. Anyone else who I might have important insights into life for. Anyone who wants to talk to me before I kick it.
91. HAVE YOU MET SANTA?: That is the lamest question I have ever heard. -100 points.
92. IF E.T. KNOCKED ON YOUR DOOR HOLDING UP A PEACE SIGN ASKING TO USE YOUR PHONE WHAT WOULD YOU DO?: Direct him to the Cigarette Store, because they are an authorized Cricket Dealer.
93. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU TALKED TO THE PERSON YOU LIKE?: May 7, 1998
94. YOU HAVE ANY PETS?: Onyx. He eats styrofoam.

96. LAST TIME YOU WERE DEPRESSED?: -insert lame pun about being pushed down like a button, and then laugh accordinging, plz -
97. ARE YOU AN ALCOHOLIC?: No.
98. WHO SENT THIS TO YOU?: I stole it from Alexa.
99.. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT PERSON?: She's pretty rad, she's my oldest internet friend. Oldest friend as in "I've known her longer than anyone else that I talk to on the interweb" not "She has been alive for more years than anyone else I talk to on the interweb."
100. DO YOU WANT YOUR FRIENDS TO WRITE BACK?: I think it's super neat when people steal stuff from me. It gives me self-esteem.

And now, a bunch of interesting stories about this quiz:

1. FULL NAME: Alyson Frances DeWills
That is not my name. Yet. I am changing it in a month, because I am hardcore and rebelling against my biological father.

24. ACTRESS: Kathy Bates, Stockard Channing... and I don't know any other names. That makes me sad.
I spent, like, 10 minutes trying to remember how to spell the woman who plays the police chief on Law & Order's name. I think it is S. Epatha Merkerson, but I didn't want to risk being wrong.

28. DISNEY CHARACTER: Slink.
alyrai: what was the name of the slinky dog from Toy Story?
Ultravisit0r: Slink.
Ultravisit0r: or so I think.
alyrai: That is what I thought.
Ultravisit0r: why's that?
alyrai: ***FAVORITES***
28. DISNEY CHARACTER:
alyrai: I had to think really hard about that one.
alyrai: And that is what I decided.

39. GUYS/GIRLS: Hey, at least I don't descriminate against paraplegics...
That is an inside joke that you are not cool enough to understand.

53. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF SOUL MATES: Romance is like putting together a great outfit. Please see my theory on this at the end of the entry.
I was going to write up this super neat analogy about romance and fashion, but I am too tired now. Maybe I'll do it later. Meanwhile, please ponder this and come up with your own theory. We can all have a discussion in the comments of my livejournal.

85. IF YOU DIED TOMORROW- WHO WOULD YOU LEAVE EVERYTHING TO?: I don't really have stuff that matters, I don't think. I should write up a will, just to be a bitch, and leave everything to Mckayla and Brittney to divide up how they want. It'd be like a hilarious sitcom.
I'm serious about that. If I die unexpectedly, I want the resulting antics to be zany and quirky and full of one-liners. Don't disappoint my lingering spirit, folks.

We can swim any day in November...

I'm a bad person and I never update my damn livejournal. I should be stoned to death.

These are a drop-outs equivelant of senior photos. I know you're excited, so let's get to it...

This is supposed to tell you all the colors of my hair. But it still doesn't do it justice. And it was fading. Ugh.

This one is my favorite because I look like a damn video game character. LIFE GOAL ACCOMPLISHED.

This is also pretty super.

This is an OMG LOOK AT MY HAIR PLZ post, so I figured there should be some with my hair down. I like it better up. Ugh.

This one is better at showing off my pretty hair colors. And my awesome lip gloss color. <3

If you are in any of the communities I am... you might see these pictures a few more times. Take it like a man.

I'm sure that other stuff is going on in my life, I just can't remember it.
That's a total lie, too. I remember everything. I'm like a god damn elephant.

Maybe one of these days I'll make a real post. I'm sure you're writhing in anticipation. Well, you better get used to writhing, 'cuz it's gonna be a while. Yessiree.

Obligatory Music Choice Comment:
This song gives me shivers.

So sing along and be prepared...

Updated the userinfo, it's hotter than molten lava and cooler than my freezer. KICK IT.

I dyed/cut my hair but I can't get a picture that does it justice. It was an adventure.

I went to the Hellogoodbye show. It was quite an adventure. Collin called some girl a whore, I am so proud of him.

And other stuff that isn't interesting happened.

This song fucking kills me, it's so damn beautiful.

Because there's murder (murder!) by the road side...

Logan is such a complete nerd. He had way too much fun with the cam.

Isn't he just stunning? I practically die every time I see him because I can't breathe he's just that gorgeous. I'manerd. <3

Pirate faces!
Zombie faces!
Ninja faces!
Emo faces!
Random faces! (It was later decided these were the Brandon/Mary Jo faces, because Logan looks greasy)
Robot faces!
Hardcore faces!

He got me the Duran Duran Greatest Hits CD. <33333

I gotta stay calm, I want this to be real...

This is a post-it note that Logan and I scribbled on when we spent coffee-shop hopping. It's the coolest thing ever.

This is a cake Logan and I made for the hell of it. It's also the coolest thing ever.

They're both the coolest things ever. Because I say so.

We have the most fun ever, too. <3

If my life were an 80's teen movie, this song would totally be the song that plays just before the credits roll.
