bumping my gums

awkward:

- my science teacher wearing a cardigan.  I'm convinced he's an 80-year-old man trapped in a 35-year-old's body.  He also loves to say he's "bumping his gums", which means he's just talking.
- thinking I had two days to finish a paper and then realizing it's due tomorrow.  Cue panic!
- getting out of the car the other day, picking up my water bottle upside down, and dumping it all over my lap and inside the car.  Seriously, didn't this happen last week?  And then I was walking toward the front door and this huge gust of wind swept what seemed like half the snow on the roof blowing into my face so I was just stumbling along blindly, hoping I wouldn't trip and kill myself.  Just keeping it real, people. 
- accidentally sending a text to the wrong person, coincidentally the only person who would actually be offended by it. *facepalm* Friends, it was bad.  But the person I offended was so gracious--she took my accidental text (which she could have taken to mean "I hate you"; that's not what I meant, but she could have taken it that way) and was so sweet and kind about it.  Last time I'm ever speaking ill of anyone.  So that part of it's actually pretty awesome. 
- skipping math class last night.  It was a spur of the moment decision--I was already at school for Rachel's classes--and we were just pulling out of the parking lot, me rejoicing because I hadn't run into my teacher, and she took our parking spot.  She was smirking at me, too--she knew what I was up to. :(

awesome:

- three days off school! Yay!!!  These four-day weeks are killing me...I'm such a lazy bum, used to just going two days.
- new followers even when I'm not trying to get my blog "out there".  Yay for results + no effort!
- writing inspiration.  If only it were November=Nanowrimo time.  I feel like inspiration just goes out the window during that month.
- finally figuring out how to do my math homework.  I'd been lost for days--finally coming to the light!
- not having a test today!!!  I so wasn't ready.
- this song--I never really liked Hawk Nelson before, but I really like this song!
- isn't this little video so cute?  It's the little prequel movie before Wreck-It Ralph. Aww.

365 photography project : : week four

Tuesday // Updated the verse on my board of gratefulness--this is one of my favorites verses.

via

Wednesday // We saw one of these awesome circles around the moon the other night; it was so cool!

Thursday // My mom's new calendar from Voice of the Martyrs.

Friday // Forgot to take a pic, but here's one I took today.  Poor Jonah's light went out--the only light he's seen for a few days is from a lamp next to his tank.

Saturday // Forgot to take a pic again...Ellie gave me a bunch of new bracelets.

Sunday // I'm obviously very concerned with the organization of my school books.

Monday // I forgot to take a pic + my dad took my camera.  Then I forgot to even post this post.  This is the face I made when I realized all of this.  As a side note that I'm sure you all want to know, my nose twitches involuntarily when I make this face--it's a really weird feeling.

52 lists : : week 3

from the darkness

awkward:

- pretty much convinced that I have fleas.  They follow me everywhere.  But I have killed four today!  Yes!  There has been some not-so-subtle rejoicing with every murder.
- I put my water bottle in my purse after class, thinking it'd be okay, and it spilled everywhere.  It even soaked through the leather into my jeans.  But thankfully nothing was damaged.
- my bedroom is becoming more and more of a dungeon.  First Jonah's tank light went out, then the lightbulb in the lamp next to his tank burst.  It's so dark...I'm afraid!

awesome:

- tried ramon noodles for the first time tonight--yum!
- quarks.  Quarks are awesome.  I learned about these little buggers in my science class last week.  On New Year's Eve we watched a movie at my church about creation and how everything's singing and praising God.  Watch this to get a taste of it!  Anyway, quarks are little tiny parts of protons and neutrons in an atom.  If you break open a proton, there are three quarks, and if you break open a quark, the leading theory says that there are little rhythms inside, little tiny sounds.  Isn't that awesome?  Even something that tiny is joining in the song of praise to the Lord. 
- my first science quiz was take-home!  Which is great because I would have been doomed if I'd had to do it in class--it's like a bazillion times harder than I'd expected! 
- the show Flashpoint.
- finally done with school for the week!

s'truth

Fact - I don't like cheese. 

Before you ask "Well how do you knoooow?  Have you tried alllll of them?"

Of course not.  But I haven't encountered one yet that I like.  It's just...gross.  Melted, cold, drizzled, homemade.  Blegh.

Fact - I really get into romance.

I love reading people's love stories on their blogs, watching a good love story, reading a sappy novel, etc.

I was watching a sappy movie the other day and I actually teared up.  I'm ashamed of myself.

So I obviously felt the need to blog about it.

Fact - I pop my knuckles.

I know, it's terrible, it's gross, I'll have arthritis...

It's just such a hard habit to break!

Fact - My first and only boyfriend was Henry Borsick in second grade.

Here's our story:

 We were in the same class at school, and one day Henry walked over to me, looked at me adoringly, and asked, "Will you be my girlfriend?"

At seven years old a lot of ridiculous phrases sound like a good idea.

I stared up at him and replied (romantically, I thought), "I already am."

*dies laughing* 

My family moved several weeks later, and I guess Henry and I mutually broke up because I haven't heard from him since.

Fact - I'm a creepy blog stalker.

I love reading everything about people's past, looking at pics, etc.

But I never comment.  Yep, I'm the one responsible for all those views that you had no explanation for.  You've found me!

Fact - I am really optimistic.

I cry sometimes because I'm so happy.

Fact - I was homeschooled from 4th grade on.

And yes, I have friends, and I personally don't think I'm socially awkward.

I guess I wouldn't really know though...

Fact - I've only been to the hospital for an emergency once since my birth.

I was a yearish old and I ran into the corner of a wall and split my forehead open.

Hello 14 stitches!

There's a nice, awkward selfie.

See the scar?  It's just barely visible; I hadn't noticed how much it's faded.

But there's my one hospital visit story. 

Knock on wood.

Fact - I wear a lot of scarves.

They're warm and cozy and...I like them.

See?
