I like to call this "Forever Alone"

Like I mentioned in my previous post, I have nothing to do in August.

So I decided to channel my nothingness into genuine pieces of art.

My mom encouraged my creativity ...But then laughed at the final project.

Without further adieu, my masterpieces:

{what all couples are thinking as they see me pass by on the street}

{my imagination}

{actual scenario i've been in}

{actual scenario i've been in}

{potential future scenario}

This is where Olivia comes in... We both only have each other and our dogs... She drew the following:

{she drew me in this one...}

Today, I would have thought I got it all out of my system and would have found some friends... BUT... these happened:

{incase you didn't catch on, i'm the one in the middle....on the penny farthing bicycle}

So there you have it. I've chosen to go public with my work. ;)

P.S. Just saw this on Pinterest... I found it worthy for here:

FOREVER ALONE

lab rats

sometimes i feel like the older siblings were the experiment rats and got away with everything, but by the time my parental units work their way down to the younger set of kids, they've "perfected" their ways. (e.g. my step dad just told me that i'd be lucky to get my first phone when i'm 30 whereas my older sister got hers when she was half that age.)

it's not only the phone thing that's an issue... sometimes i feel like i have no freedom whereas for my friends its like they have immediate rights.

*siiiiiiiiigh*

on other notes, i've kicked off my awesome summer by sitting in my room all day making friendship bracelets as if i were having a flashback from age 12, and as if i had people to give them to... but lets face it, if i had a plethora of friends i'd be out with them instead of in my room.

Lately, I've felt like the whole "blogging world" is repetitive. Everybody has a blog now, and everybody posts things similar to what you have, or post what you were about to... So right now, I'm just going to post things that no one else will... Like what? Whatever is running through MY brain right now... Because no one can take MY thoughts away from me.

1. The Vow is not as cracked up to be what I made it out to be in my mind. And believe me, I was expecting a brilliant movie such as The Notebook. This movie was still really cute, and made me laugh and smile... But the ending wasn't quite what I was hoping for.

2. I really wish I had followed what I believe to be my "spiritual prompting" ...to have bought that box of brownie mix hidden in an isle of the grocery store, WHEN I WAS THERE ONLY AN HOUR AGO. Here I am, friendless on the weekend, wishing I had an easy box of brownie mix to make. And then I see pictures like this:

Those two monsters are my sisters. Eating away their life at college. I wish I could be in that photo.

3. What do you think of when I give you 3 sounds and mix them together?...followed by car-alarms?:

An OWL.  A COYOTE. And a DRUNK PERSON. ??????

Once you figure it out, please let me know, because it's in my backyard and i'm very frightened. 

4. You know you're bored, when, Facebook and Pinterest get boring.

5. I was really in the mood for some Keira Knightly and Matthew Macfadyen

in Pride and Prejudice, and have been craving to hear the music, and have been BEGGING mom to let me watch it during school hours ...Now that it's the weekend, I just don't feel it.

6. Sewing. I really want to make cute clothes. I really love dresses too. If I could wear dresses everyday, I would. This is the dress I'm making next! (Just need fabric!)

7. (See my friends blog post who posted basically everything that has been running through my mind this last week: Cooler On the Flipside) ...I agree completely. It's just like this movie:

The guy just WISHES he could go back and live in Paris in the 1920's. (GREAT movie! A must see.) In the end he realizes, that every single time period, will want to go back in time cause they'll think that THAT was the real golden age of time.... And that you really just have to be satisfied with the time you're stuck in, because in the future, some kid (like me) will wish they could come back to our present time. Well. Maybe. Anyway. I feel like I was born in the wrong era.

8. Fo. Reals. How could something so perfect turn so corrupt? 

Mission-Aborted

Once upon a time, I was given a mission by a certain friend of mine...


This friend happens to secretly admire a neighbor I have 


...But I've never before met.


The mission was to stalk him a little bit... 


No, not Facebook stalk... 


But like, as he walked home I was supposed to confirm or deny this random kids attractiveness ...or something along those lines that probs make more sense when this individual explained my mission... 


Anyway.


This person gets off the bus at 2:05pm...So I was told. Just to be safe, I went out at 1:50pm... Chilled with my brothers... And then they got in on it too. 


One of my brothers found me embarrassing yet hilarious and documented my hideouts. 


The other one hid in a tree with his own binoculars to tell me when the bus came... 


You can see for yourself how the next 45 minutes of my life (OUT IN THE COLD) came, and then went, with no sign of this kid. 

^Still excited, and ready to be uber creepy...^

^Starting to feel like a better hide out was in order...So I tried the tree, but that was lame... And the bush, well, I could have sworn it was bigger than how it is pictured to the upper right picture^

^Not to worry! I found a bigger bush to hide behind.... But decided that from his view it might look like I was peeing behind the bush^

^In this one, I just really didn't appreciate how the whole world turned sideways^

^...Or upside-down really...^

^...^

^The old stump made me a little bit conspicuous... And a little bit off balance^

^Then faces like this just tend to happen after chillin' 30 minutes with frozen fingers...^

^5 minutes after I shot this photo, I went back home and completely aborted the mission. Is this dude even real? Because I'm never being that stalkerish again.... Even though I technically didn't stalk anything... Just took ridiculous photos....^

I bet....He was sick today, and didn't go to school. What a jerk. He could have at least informed me.

There goes 45 minutes of my life I'll never get back.... 

Christmas Hangover

After a very long day full of forcing myself NOT to sleep past 10:34am ...again, I made yummy chocolate oatmeal with bananas and whipped cream, because, oatmeal is healthy for you. I then decided that I should put pants on for my families sake, now wearing $5 man sweats, a big Christmas night shirt, and my hair right on top of my head. Then I realized my sister, Lara, is going back to Provo tomorrow... So I got my creative juices flowing and I painted her a portrait of her in -mermaid form- using my handy dandy Crayola paints. That went well. After I gave up on being productive, my little cousin came over and we watched Life As We Know It ...even though i've already seen it once this week. (...oops!) After that, I decided that my acne is really bad because I haven't been following the 3 simple rules to a clearer face by:
1. Eating healthy -- Which means I can't continue this pattern of breakfasts
2. Sleeping long enough/at appropriate times -- Example: 2:30am-12:30pm
3. Exercise -- no comment
Then I got SUPER-DEE-DUPER bored, and did what those crazy people who have no lives do and I put on a face-mask and whipped up an egg and put it all in my hair till both my hair and face were stiff. Then I showered it all out and my face is not only as SOFT as 5yrs. worth of acne skin can get, but my hair feels like that light-weight airy feeling you get after a haircut. Plus it's silk smooth as well. So um. I recommend doing that if you have time to waste. Ha.

On my bed I found new running shoes my mommy got me! My last pair made my toes get bruised and turn black and now I'm scared my nail will fall off, so I paint over it with nail-polish and pretend it's not there! But now I can go exercise. Going to the gym FIRST THING IN THE MORNING!

My big brother Ryan and I had that tickle fight he had promised me we'd have before he left (because I know that his feet are his weakness and I can ALWAYS get him on the ground!) We laughed so hard our abs hurt. I tackled him to the floor.

Later, we spent family time and ...ate... then played 5 Crowns. (To which I failed miserable.) Then, as if one movie wasn't enough, Lara and I watched One Day (for my 3rd time) and I cried. I tried to play it as cool as her. But nope. Gosh dangit. I CRIED. And I get to cry again tomorrow when she leaves.


So there you have it. Another day in my life. Weird Worth it!
