This is an excerpt from a story that a friend and I created a long time ago about our futures. It made me smile.

"Charles is an actor on Broadway. He also writes and produces AND directs. When he wants to. But not otherwise. So don't ask him. Katie lives in the mountains... right next to the beach!!! (She made her own mountains... or did she make her own beach?) Emma lives a few miles away from Katie, writes, is also an engineer, and works at the same place as Kiki. They are all still pretty good friends."

I miss you guys. Seriously. We should all get together and do something crazy again, like we used to. Play Plinko in the mall, go ghost-hunting and doze off in the middle of the road, wander around Hawthorne and get Charles to make little girls scream by simply dressing in drag. Remember those good old times? Let's do it again.



Please?

LOVE AND ADORATION MEME! ♥
Reply to this post and I will tell you just how much I love and adore you, and why!
If you want, pass this on in your own journal!

If I had money to spare, I'd be buying a couple of cars, and a motorcycle.

Although if I had to get one it would be a Pontiac G6 Convertible with leather interior. I probably never will get this car becuase Pontiac went out of business, and if I somehow got this car, fixing it up would be a bitch.

And before Pontiac went out of business, this kind of car cost about as much as 3 Mustangs.

:/

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me.

This offer does have some restrictions so please read:
- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make.
- What I create will be just for YOU & you are allowed to make requests (and I will try to honor them).
- It will be done before 2011.
- It might be cookies, a mix cd, a necklace, an original haiku, a scarf, who knows!
- You'll need to PM me your mailing address if you're one of the first 5.

In return, all you need to do is repost this on your LJ (or on here if you'd like - or even both if you're ambitious!) and offer to make 5 things for 5 other people.

My friend made up the following one and told me, and I just cracked up.

"I want to give you a dozen roses so when you look in the mirror you'll see the thirteen most beautiful things in the world."

He actually used it on me. Pick up lines are great if they're good, but I never know how to respond. If they're dorky but heartfelt it just makes it sweet and funny. I know how to respond to those: with laughter or a well-placed "Awwwww."

I think there's someone out there who can feel like a soulmate, but there's not only one person for everyone. There is no "the one." That's because there's more than one. We care for people, we love them but they move in and out of our lives. If there's only one person out there for everyone, the chances of meeting them, of eve being on the same continent as them are practically impossible. We fall in love, we get married, but we weren't necessarily "destined" to meet them. If chance hadn't had us meet them, we would've found someone else we could fall in love with and marry and be just as happy with. So "the one" can't get away, because we'll always meet another. If we really love them, it'll work out.

My sister is amazing and made this icon for me after I posted the thing about how I've known Emma longest. She apparently thinks I'm cute/wanted an excuse to mess around with Photoshop some more.

This made me really happy.

This is kind've funny because I was talking about this to my oldest friend just the other bus ride.

The oldest friend I've had that I'm still friends with is Emma. We met in sixth grade, when I thought she was a druggie. We were okay friends then, got closer in seventh grade, and then eighth grade was such hell it didn't even count.

Sadly we went to different high schools and she refused to give in when I begged her to transfer to the school her sister (and I) was going to. We still saw each other about everyday, but we hardly hung out and didn't really talk. I still thought she was a close friend though, but at the time, Tori was the closest friend I had.

Then I wasn't allowed to see Tori. Emma was there for me. She listened, and she had proven in the past to be someone I could talk to, and she wasn't going to judge me on my stupid decisions. Plus, she gave awesome advice.

Now we go to the same school because I was the one who transferred. There are a lot of awesome people here and they're all really nice, but Emma still remains the one who I've known the longest and, nowadays, my closest friend. Sure, I've got other friends who I'm REALLY close to, but I think Emma tops the bill because of our past, and our personalities, and I honestly don't think I've ever been seriously mad at her. We haven't had ups and downs. We've been close friends, then weren't and then got really close, but we've never had a serious fight where I wonder if we should be friends still. I've always loved her. :)

I <3 you.

As for a trend, my best friends usually change after two years or so. Sometimes I really hope they don't, but life happens. The best I can hope for is that I'll still know and love and be friends with these people when I'm an old maid.

My sister made this awesome icon

Shitty day.

So Dezzi and I planned to have a really nice Starbucks breakfast this morning and she was going to drive em to school and it was going to be really fun. That got canceled because OUR KITCHEN IS FLOODED, as well as the foundation around the house. Turns out some filter or something burst and broke a seal and started leaking. So mom and dad started fighting with Sarah and THAT WAS FUN. I was almost late because mom wouldn't stop yelling. I got my Starbucks breakfast, simply because we couldn't get into the kitchen to make breakfast. So then school happened, which was dull. Then therapy, which made me sleepy and bored as fuck. THEN I had to go back to school for Back To School night after a quickie dinner at Pizza Schmizza. Mom got a call on the way to find out that our electricity went out AS WELL as our kitchen being flooded and the plumber guys had to cut apart our carpet because it was ruined. Now we have this big patch with psychedelic 70s linoleum and these giant as fuck hair blowers that are drying out everything. We've got four of them blowing. I just got home and mom and dad are laying into each other again with the insults.

UGH.

I am seriously considering skipping half a day on friday so I can crash BHS's homecoming assembly.

y/n?

My world just ended.

WHAT THE FUCK.

So we were doing a meme and these are the results.
( She didn't describe the situation because she's a lazy bitch. So you can use your imagination. )

( First Day of School )

It occurred to me I haven't posted in fucking forever, so here's the update on my life.

I kind've hate it right now.

But, to cheer myself up, here are the things that went well today.

•Even though it was my last day as a Mentor at OMSI, I had a great time screwing around with the kids and being generally a bad volunteer.
•Making dinner tonight was a total SUCCESS. The Chicken Cacciatore was delicious, and so was the cake, even if the icing was kind of lame and soupy.
•The day went by without anything seriously bad going on.
•I took apart a sewing machine from the 40s. I got covered in grease and it was awesome.
•I met the most adorable little girl today. Ad her dad thanked me for including her in the demo. I felt all warm and fuzzy inside.
•I have my phone back.
•my skin has stopped peeling temporarily.
•I made $169.50 today from the garage sale.
•Scott still owes me $120-something.
•Band camp is over and there's still time to hang out before school starts.

That is all. Call me if you wish to hang out.
