Alrighty, well, here it goes. I've made myself a new journal. wandringdreamer. I've friended everyone on my previous f-list, so be sure to friend me back. :D I'm going to be better about posting there more often, I promise. haha.

*kicks stuff around* Well, it's goodbye to this old dump and hello to shiny newness!

So I've recently decided to make some changes in my life. I've started a new weight lose program that's really working (yay!), I've dropped a few rp's, and I'm trying to just overall grow up a little bit and take more control over myself and my life.

Despite all the steps I've taken so far, I still feel like there's one thing that I still want to change. This journal. And not just the look of it. I want a new one. I feel like no one is reading this thing anymore, and I gotta say, that really really bugs me. I don't know. I just know that I want a change.

But that would mean figuring out a new name, refriending all my friends, getting my 100quills tags and tables changed, and part of me feels like it would be a lot of work, but the other part really wants to do it because I feel like this journal is holding me back a little. I was looking at my first entries from when I was like 15 and they literally make me cringe. I just need a change.

So basically I just want everyone's opinion. Everyone who reads this thing anymore anyway. A) Do you think I should move me journal? And B) What should I make the name be?

I wish I could tell you how I feel about you.

I wish you could know what you do to me.

I wish I wasn't so afraid to tell you.

I wish the things holding me back didn't exist.

I wish my parents didn't have such a hold on my life.

I wish I could stand up for what I believe in. . . and who I care about.

And sometimes I wish I didn't have these feelings, so I wouldn't be so confused.

Dear miss_bowtruckle.
I don't really know how to tell you this, but you're a pervert. I think I realized it when I changed tennis shoes in your camping car and I saw you sit at my avocado plant. I'm sure you're scarred enough to understand that Santa doesn't exist. I'm returning your memories from the military service to you, but I'll keep your photo as a memory. You should also know that I always wanted to break a new life as a clone.
Good luck on your short-term leave from jail,
-nerdykitten07-

Got this one on a random stalk through Photobucket. The thought of Dobby/Gollum is icky, yet interesting. And I just found it extremely hilarious.



Seriously, who doesn't love Disney bad words? I dunno, got it on Photobucket and thought it was funny.



I don't remember where I got this one from, but I like it cause it's kinda like an optical illusion, cause it's her and the guys, but then the guys' shirts kinda look like wings, which is cool.

Here's how it works: Comment and I'll give you a letter; then you have to list 10 things you love that begin with that letter. Afterward, post this in your own journal and give out some letters of your own.

I hath been given "L" by miss_bowtruckle

*in no particular order*

1. Lie ins. There is nothing better than sleeping in.

2. Leaves when I step on them and they crinkle.

3. Love! Even though I don't have anyone at the moment.

4. Legends of the Hidden Temple! Bestest Nickelodeon show EVER!

5. Lord Voldemort! Yeah, I know I'm crazy. But he's HAWT.

6. The Lion King! (the "the" doesn't count) It's absolutely my favorite movie.

7. La Vie Boheme. Best song from RENT. BEST.

8. A Little Priest. (a doesn't count) Best song from Sweeney Todd. . . not gonna lie.

9. Love Actually. That movie is so adorable.

10. Lifetime in the morning. And hour of The Nanny is the best way to start my day.

I haven't updated since the breakup, but nothing amazing has happened. I've gotten so terrible at updating my LJ. Which is stupid because I update my manual every night before I go to bed and I check my LJ like a billion times a day, but I never update. Whatever.

Life is boring. I'm finally understanding math, so maybe I won't fail. It's starting to get warm and sunny, so I think I'm going to start going out everyday on the green and doing some homework. Who knows, maybe I'll meet a guy. I know I need one. But I'm not comfortable going out on my own and meeting someone. Not that I've had a lot of opportunity, since every time I see someone that I consider a friend getting ready to go out to party they never invite me. And I'm not going to invite myself along. I'm not that kind of person. But whatever.

I feel. . . neglected by my friends. No one invites me out anywhere except Chelsea, and that's just to the dining hall. And I love Chelsea to death, don't get me wrong, but I'd like to be invited out by other people every once in a while. And it's not like they don't have my number or know where to find me. And I think I've made it pretty clear that I like going out every once in a while.

I just want someone to care about me.

4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

( And here we go )

Stolen from a billion peoples.

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line (unless the first line reveals the song title) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game, post your own!

Haven't posted in a while. I don't even remember the last thing I posted. I'll just update with the school year so far.

School's going great. My classes are pretty easy and there's not that much homework. I don't really like my new Ed teacher though. He's kind of mean.

In case any of you missed it, Drew broke up with me. Didn't really give a reason, just "I don't think I should be a boyfriend anymore." Well yay for him. I still feel like I should be a girlfriend. Just not his. I guess it's back to the search for me. Is it so wrong that I want to meet THAT guy and settle down and start a family NOW? I want a young family. So much. It would make me so happy to start a family and be able to do things with them. It TERRIFIES me to think I could get into my mid twenties and not have anyone.

I'm starting observing again today. Should be interesting. I'm going to a teacher that I like, so I hope it'll be good.

Well, here's the New Year's update.

Turns out about an hour or two after I posted my Christmas post, my Nanny died. So that night we went funeral clothes and we ended up staying two extra days. The viewing was terrible and the funeral was full of tears.

I didn't do anything for New Year's. I knitted. That was basically it.

Dad and I drove back yesterday and I moved back to school today. Drew came and helped me move the heavy boxes up to my room, which was sweet. Then he sat and stayed out of the way while I unpacked a bunch of my stuff. Then we lounged on my unmade bed that was covered in sweatshirts. There was making out but not much more. We were both exhausted.

Not too much detail, but I'm still tired. Still have one big box to unpack and a bed to make. And food I need to eat. Blech. I'll be around my darlings. Back at school. W00T!

Well I suppose it's time for the annual Christmas post, while I'm waiting for the corn dogs and pizza snacks to bake.

( What a wonderful world )

Does the Birthday Dance! WOOOO HOOOO!

Only 731 more days!!

Well, I'm in bed with a massive headache that's calming down a little now since I took some Tylenol, but I still can't sleep. Of course, that may be due to the eight-year-old hogging most of the twin bed, but who knows.

While I'm up I thought I'd update a little on what's been going on since I did my voice post.

I got my hair done! Didn't get much done cut wise, but I did get a nice color, which I'll put pix of up at the end of this post. Other than that it's been a pretty uneventful past few days. I've been really tired, and not in the sleepy way. In the "I'm drained and don't want to do anything way." I find it so terribly hard to get out of bed in the mornings. Like it would be so much easier just to stay in bed all day.

I was supposed to go out with friends tonight. But I didn't go. Part of the reason was my headache and the fact that I'm drained, but part of the reason is that I feel left out. We were going out for one of my friend's 19th birthday. It was yesterday. Well, my birthday is Monday and no one even suggested making it a double party or anything. I always feel left out of stuff like this. It's always someone else's birthday or something. It really wouldn't kill someone to be like "Well, we're going out for her birthday. Your birthday is in a couple days. Let's making it a double party!" And I don't want to sound selfish by wanting people to think about my birthday, but I mean seriously. It's my birthday too.

Here are the pictures.( Image heavy )

Exam week 2007. Yay. I'm in Bio land until Monday evening, but don't worry, you guys know how I feel about my online peeps and rp'ing and stuff, so I'll still be around. Lucky for me the stuff I have to do is online :). Well here I go. Just thought I'd let everyone know that if I am overly tired and irritable for the next few days, this is why.

So. Karma's a bitch. Or maybe I should be quoting Newton's third law. "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction." Translation: Yesterday was AMAZING. So today sucks ass. Reflect with me, will you?

( Yesterday )

So yesterday ended great. And then today happened.

( Today )

step one
- Make a post to your LJ with a list of ten holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for Harry Potter on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post so that the holiday joy will spread.

step two
- Surf around your LJ to see who has posted a list. And now here's the important part:
- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.
- You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy.
- There are no guarantees with this project, and no strings attached. Just... wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
