Monday: Love Is A Rose

AGGHHH. MONDAYZZZ.

 Well, we couldn't escape it forever. Yes, it is the start of a new week, which means you have to wait for five days before you get life again.

 I know, sucks right?

 So, yesterday, I actually went to Kohls with my mom, and I got some jewelry and a really cute vest for the summer, so I'm going to show them to you!

 Here's the first one, a bracelet:

This is a beautiful bracelet that is, like... wow. I'm actually wearing it today, I love it so much! It's amazing and goes with most every outfit I have, and it looks great casually and formally! 
 It's not a clasp bracelet, if you were wondering, it's one of those bracelets that has clear elastic so that it can fit on anyone's arm.
 I love how shiny and black it is, and the detail is very nice. On the inside of each of the shiny black stone-things is this teeny pattern. Nothing exquisite, just several lines going outward so it looks like it's shining. 
 I <3 everything about it, and I actually think  I'm wearing it tomorrow, too! And the next day...


 This bracelet is literally a different color version of that one!                  TWINNING!
 The lighting distorted the color a bit, making it look purple, but it's actually an extremely vivid, bright red. 
 You can't wear it with as many outfits as you can the black one, but, black goes with everything, so, there's that.
 I told you my favorite color is red, so I loved this when I first saw it. I still do, I mean, it's not like I lost the love...
 You know I love you guys, right? You know that?

                 LOVE IS A ROSE, BUT YOU BETTER NOT PICK IT!
                      ONLY GROWS WHEN IT'S ON THE VINE!
                                       HANDFUL OF THORNS AND YOU KNOW YOU'VE MISSED IT,
                                           LOSE THE LOVE, WHEN YOU SAY THE WORD 'MINE'!

 If you don't know that song, it's fine, it's an older one. Oh, maybe tomorrow's post will be about older stuff/songs. I happen to know a lot of those...

 Next are a few necklaces that actually came in a set. I <3 them, OMG.

 Let me tell you that none of these are real jewelry, they're all cheap. But I got it because I loved the set of them, and I'd been looking for this type of jewelry for a little while.
 This one is my second favorite, and it's sooo pretty to wear. I like how it's gold (color, duh, it's not real gold) with that royal blue color in the center, and I like how the gold stuff spreads spreads out, making it look like a bird (am I crazy?) with wings (Yeah, I'm crazy. Who adds on the evident, for-dummies fact that birds have wings? MEEEEEE!).
 I'm actually wearing this tomorrow, so... we'll see if my love holds up under the pressure...
 #wear&tear

 This is another necklace...

 I'm sorry that it's such a very, very small image, but the camera couldn't get a closeup without cutting out the back parts of the necklace. 
 I love this little guy. It's a pink, beaded necklace with little, gold (again, not really gold) beads towards the front, with a teeny little center bead that looks like a little gold coin.
 I'M RICH! TELL THE PEOPLE I'M RICH!!! TIME FOR THAT FERRARI!!! MOMMA'S COMING TO TAKE YOU FOR A DRIVE!!!
 LOL, no. I'm not rich, first of all, the necklace isn't even gold. Second of all, I wouldn't tell people to tell the people that I was rich. I would tell my parents and relatives and maybe one friend, but I wouldn't want to let people know, I'd get robbed! Third of all, I don't actually want a Ferrari. I don't even have a license yet! 
 Oh, and fourth of all, I'm sorry if that was a little creepy...

 This is my favorite necklace, I think you'll love it, too, it's so freaking cute!

LOOK AT THAT!!! CAN YOU TELL ME THAT'S NOT FREAKING ADORABLE?
 No, you probably can't.
 I love it so much, it's different than any necklace I've had before, because most are actually pendants. This is not what you would consider a pendant...
 Oh, if you're wondering exactly what size it is, it's most likely the size of your pointer finger. I'm saying that based on the fact that I'm a medium size, and it's about as big as my finger.
 But I love this, and I'm probably gonna find ways to wear it casually, even though it doesn't look that casual...
 This is what you do when you're in love, people, you find a way!

 This last thing is actually not jewelry. It's that gorgeous summer vest I told you about.
 I tried to show you the front and the back, but I don't think you can see the back that well with the lighting. I'll show you a better picture sometime, but for now, let me just tell you that it's lacey and flowery, in a triangle shape that goes onto the shoulders.

 It's a bit big, but not big as in you notice it, big as in it's not the perfect fit comfort-wise. But I got it in the adult section, and I'm not an adult, so... there's that.
 It's really light and summery, though, and it's extremely formal, or extremely casual depending on what you wear it  with. LLLLOOOOOVVVVEEE!

 FUN WITH FACTS TIME!

 Word of the Day: Promulgate. You'd be surprised how simple it is.

 Song of the Day: Love Is A Rose - Neil Young. My family listens to him a looottt, and we actually went to a concert of his when we were younger! He's really good...

 Random Fact: Like air, water expands as it gets warmer and as a result becomes less dense. Water is most dense at temperatures near freezing. When waterfreezes, however, it expands, becoming less dense. If equal volumes ofcold water (down to 4deg.C, 39.2deg.F) and hot water are compared,cold water weighs more than hot water. [I got everything but the stuff in parentheses...]

 Random Fact About Me: I got up at 3:45 to start writing this. Crazy, I know...

 Today's Prophecy: At the end of the day tomorrow, I will be exhausted. Wild guess, I dunno...

 I'm so happy you guys came to read my little blog, and I love you so much! I would love to hear what you have to say about my posts, and I'll definitely check out your blog if you have one! 

 Shout out to Rose (she's another blogger, and she's amazing), thanks for coming to my blog, and actually reading my other one! Also, shout out to Liv Hudd, thanks for commenting, and nominating me for the Liebster tag award, as Rose did. 

 I feel so dumb, but I still don't quite understand what it is. I've done some research, but different sources say somewhat different things, and the rules are a bit confusing. I'll try to find out more, and if you can explain it to me, I'd love the help!

 Love you all, hearts and kisses! And chocolates! And nail polish! And goodies like that!

Sunday: Try

Sundays = Fundays!

 Okay, not really... I just love plays on words... hehehehehe...he?

 I told you I was gonna have a spa day today, but what I meant was spa afternoon. In the afternoons on Sundays, I stop going outside and stuff early, so that I can do, like, the things I need to do. I'm not sure if I'll be able to post pictures of the exact things I use, but I'll try.

 Forgive my soul.

                                    YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRYYYY SOOOO HARD,
                                   YOU DON'T HAVE TO... GIVE IT ALL AWAAAY!
                              YOU JUST HAVE TO GET UP, GET UP, GET UP, GET UP,
                                  YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE A SINGLE THIIING!
                                 YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRY, TRY, TRY, TRY-Y-Y,
                                 YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRY, TRY, TRY, TRY-Y-Y,
                                 YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRY, TRY, TRY, TRY-Y-Y,
                                                  YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRY...
                                      YOOOO-OUUUU DON'T HAVE TO TRYYY-Y!

 But, it's not quite the afternoon yet, so... yeah. My dad can probably help me with the upload (he's good with stuff like this. I'm not...) once he get's back from whatever he's doing.

 Aww, yay! My dog is actually sleeping on the floor of my room! She never does! She's a poodle, and she has this attachment to my mom, like if they're separated for a second, the world will explode.

 OMG she is soooo cute, I wish you guys could hear the noises she's making in her sleep! *faints from the cute overload*

 Darn, she just realized that Mom left. *peeks out window* Oh, Dad's home. Brb.

 Okay, back! There was some confusion about what cord to use to download the pictures, but eventually it worked out.

 Here's my routine for Sunday afternoons, even if it still isn't afternoon:

 (1) Before showers I brush my hair thoroughly with a brush. Just a plain old brush, not specific or anything. I know you're supposed to use a comb, but I only use those for the occasional knot. I also wash my hair on Sundays, so I'm fresh and clean for the week. I wash my hair about three times a week, and I do work out, literally every day, and yes, I use hairspray and even hair gel every day, and no, my hair does not smell bad. 

 #iknowthequestionsbeforeyouaskthem

 (2) So, once I'm in the shower I shampoo (duh) with this one that I've literally been using for years. It works really well, and it's not that shampoo that your hair seems like it gets used to, and doesn't work after a week:

 If you can't see what it says, it's TRESemme Shampoo 'for dry and damaged hair'. My hair is neither dry nor damaged, but, still, it works like a charm. 
 BTW, it's not a dry shampoo, if you were wondering. You don't even need that much, just a few drops. 
 I tend to go overboard with it, but only for the sake of fun, foamy-and-bubbly hair that you get when you combine the want for the luxurious feeling of rubbing soap around in your hair with the want of seeing all that white rinse out and leave your hair looking gorgeous!!! :)
 It also works well with the next product on the list.


 (3) After rinsing it out, I put in a whole bunch of conditioner (I use a lot because it feels like it makes my hair more silky, not because it does...) and rub it around. People are always asking me what conditioner I use because they're like, oh my god, you're hair is so silky! Here's the conditioner that I have been faithful to for years:

 This is also a TRESemme product. It's amazing. You apply it however you personally apply your own, but the technique I use really untangles your hair. 
 Basically, separate your hair into four sections (at the least), and use a squirt of conditioner for each one, rubbing it up and down the strand. I pile my hair on top of my head while I use my washcloth on my arms and legs and neck, etc., so it doesn't get soapy or accidentally rinsed a little. It also gives the conditioner more time to work its magic, since I don't take my hair down until I've rinsed all the soap off. When you take the strands down, run your fingers through them so they're less tangled when your hair is dry. Then rinse them each out separately, and eventually rinse your whole head. It can take a while, and when untangling, it can hurt a bit, but, for me, the results are really good: silky and shiny.

 Next, I shave, which we are not going to talk about...

 Before performances, I usually use this cleanser, but only because of what it says it does, not because of what it does. It looks like this,

and it's actually up&up (Target brand), but honestly, it does nothing for me except make my face burn a bit if it stays on too long. Like, burn, sort of burn. I don't know if this is what other cleansers do, but it also leaves my face a bit burnt-looking. 
 But that's so weird because it says: 'for all skin types. Mild, non-irritating formula, softens as it cleans.'
 Hehehe, well, I think this is the sort of thing that we would put down as 'human error'...

 Next, I towel off, get dressed, and all that. Then I do all the primping. I think that's what you would call it...

I do my nail polish first, but first, I have to get the leftover nail polish off. I use this:


Not kidding, this is just something I got from Publix, but it works really well. I just pour a few drops onto a sheet of toilet paper or paper towel (anything like that works), and rub it over each of my nails. It takes a few sheets, but it's gone pretty quickly.
 The one complaint I have is that it's nearly impossible to get a small drop on a sheet without spilling some, or soaking the entire sheet. :(
 Oh, and if you sniff it, you want to throw up from the smell. That's actually my fault, though, who (with a brain) actually opens the lid and takes a whiff of that strong stuff? Oh. That's right. Me....................... ................................................................................... :(


 The nail polish is... CHARMING... hehehehehehehehehehehe...

 Sorry the image is so small, but it's basically this gorgeous Revlon nail polish that's an amazing (charming) lavender color. I got it in the shade 211, and it's amazing. I've only worn it once, but I LOVE IT!
 If you haven't yet gotten any Revlon nail polishes, you definitely should. They're all really smooth-looking, and great quality.
 GOOD STUFFS, MAN, GOOD STUFFS...!!!
 I then blow on it and, ya know, wait for it to dry. Once it's dried, I swear it glows. Beautiful.




 After that, I use lotion.

 Sorry, no idea why it's sideways, it just turned out that way, bad camera! 
 But it's an EOS product, one of the two (three?) different scented hand lotions. It's cucumber, smells amazing, feels great, results well.
 Yeah, it does it all.

 Then I use a bit of under-eye concealer for the circles under my eyes.

I know that this picture sucks because you literally can't see a thing except the product shape and color, but it's a bareMinerals product. It says: WELL-RESTED - Face And Eye Brightener.
 It's amazing.
 If you put it on for several days in a row, your circles will vanish considerably, and it's basically this twisty thing that squirts the concealer onto the built-in applicator brush. You brush it underneath your eye, and rub it around with your finger a bit.
 The one problem is it's pricy. I don't know the exact cost, but I remember it being way more than it should.
 Thank God I don't need to buy it any time soon...

 And that, my friends, was my Sunday routine, along with recommendations and a veto! I hope it was helpful to you in some way or other, and, if not, at least it might have saved you from whatever state of boredom you must have been in if you actually chose to visit my blog! And if it only added to your boredom, well, I am terribly sorry! :(

 Random Fact: Galleon or Gold-Galleon (ʛ) is the most valued coin of the wizarding currency. One Galleon is equal to 17 Sickles or 493 Knuts. Galleons are made of gold. In the late 20th century, the Galleon was also equivalent to £4.97 GBP, or $10.17 USD.

 Today's Prophecy: Since I wasn't able to obtain the sacred viewership of the blessed Fault in Our Stars this weekend, I'll try something not related to what I want. How about... I predict that tomorrow will be the last day of my Shakespeare class. (I actually know it will, the term's over...)

 Be sure to check in next week (tomorrow...) for a new post. I intend to do them daily, and now I can say that tomorrow is my first full week of doing the blog anniversary!

Saturday: Sorry

So, today's Saturday, obviously. It's the WEEKEND! WHOO-HOO!

 What was yesterday's prophecy? Oh yeah, that it'd be sunny. Well... it's not raining, but it's not sunny so... we'll see how this works out.

 So tired today, hard day of dance yesterday...

 Sorry, where was I? Oh, god, I'm really sorry guys...

                                           IS IT TOO LATE NOW TO SAY SORRY?
                                 'CAUSE I'M... MISSING MORE THAN JUST YOUR BODY...
                                           IS IT TOO LATE NOW TO SAY SORRY?
                                          YEAH, I KNOW THAT I LET YOU DOWN,
                                           IS IT TOO LATE TO SAY SORRY NOW?

 I don't even care for him, but when you gotta, you gotta!
  
 I'm planning to watch Scorch Trials today (the sequel to the Maze Runner), and the Flash, and Super Girl, and Agent Carter. 

 If you don't know what those last three were, the Flash is a DC show about a forensic scientist named Barry Allen who gets struck by lightning set off by a particle accelerator created by a high-tech science organization called Star Labs, which (duh) turns him and many others into medi-humans with super powers, and, as you can probably guess from the name, his is speed.

 Super Girl is another DC show about Superman's cousin Kara, with a story different than the one you usually hear: basically, Kara was a young teen living on Krypton, but was told to leave in a pod like her baby cousin's (Superman's) to protect him and guide him on earth; unfortunately, her pod was knocked off course and she was stuck in a part of space where time didn't pass, and when she finally got to earth, he had grown up to become Superman. The story continues with her working at Cat Co. as the assistant to Cat Grant herself, remaining hidden power-wise. An accident involving a crashing plane and her adoptive sister (hint, hint?) forces her to reveal herself to the world.

 Agent Carter is a Marvel show, relatively new and set in the time period after the second World War, about a Kick-A English woman named Peggy Carter. She lost her to-be husband, Captain America, in a plane crash on the job, and now works as the only woman in a secret agency called the SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve), while secretly assisting an old friend, the guy every one's trying to catch, Howard Stark (Tony Stark's dad).

 So, yeah, that all took a while, but they're all awesome shows that I watch all the time. Oh god, I almost forgot OUAT! Once Upon A Time is a show about... never mind, look it up.

 Ugh, need to redo my nail polish this Sunday, I haven't renewed it in weeks! I'm probably gonna have like a spa day on Sunday, but, then, I always do that. Tomorrow, I'll give you a list and possibly pictures of what I use on spa day, with recommendations and stuff.

 AHHH, gotta go with parent to get food from the pet store!!! Be back in half and hour...

 ...Okay, back! 

 OMG, so I got there and I was like, this is gonna be sooo boring, but nooo! 

 There were all these little mice in a glass case, and in the one next to that there were bigger mice, and below those were four big boxes with little crickets and big crickets, just crawling around, and it was SO FREAKY BECAUSE YOU FELT LIKE THEY WERE GONNA START CRAWLING UP YOUR LEG!!! 

 This woman also had these three little dogs and I'm an absolute sucker for little guys like that and one looked like a Pekinese, and one looke like a mini poodle (apricot), and the only quiet one was like a bigger gray Pekinese that looked like oh god, save me from these amateurs, and I was just like, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

 Come on people, even the most sensible of us all have to fangirl sometimes...

 Oh, here's another one of those cutest things ever, but it's actually under the category 'little dogs', so search that and you'll be glad you're alive to witness the innocence that you could never have...

 Okay, for real, you could actually have innocence like that, but it'd be extremely hard to get it...

  
 EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...EEEE....EEE...EE...E...

 Random Fact: After a lot of debate, scientists are now saying that the primary cause of Coke & Mentos geysers is a physical reaction, not a chemical reaction. Their explanation is this process called nucleation. All the carbon dioxide in the soda – all that fizz – is squeezed into the liquid and looking for a way out. [Okaaaaaayyyy?]

 Random Fact About Me: My favorite color is any type of red, and people are always like, OOOOOOOOHHHHH when I tell them that. ???

 Yep, friends, new and old, we had a good party today, but that's only to be expected on the weekend! Tomorrow we'll sit down, I promise!

 Love you all, have a wonderful rest of your weekend, and remember to eat your vegetables! I'm watching you...

 Right, so that wasn't creepy at all.

Friday: (It's) Friday

Hello, people, plants, animals. Martians...

 Oh, hey, I just got my oatmeal. Ow... maybe wait another minute?

 Lately, I've been so freaking tired. I swear, I feel like crap! It's so annoying, it's like I haven't had a single day of my life that wasn't a day where my eyes felt weird and like I wanted to take five hour nap. I actually can't nap except when I'm sick, I'm bad at falling asleep for the night anyway, but still.

 All of that just a second ago was random. This is also random: why don't I pick out every other word in that long, tired-infested paragraph and see what I get?

 I got: Lately been freaking I I like It's annoying, like haven't a day my that a where eyes weird like wanted take hour I can't except I'm I'm at asleep the anyway, still.

 Is it just me, or did that make no sense? Like, at all.

 Now my oatmeal's cooled, yay!

 Oh, yeah, my prophecy yesterday? It actually came true! I AM DESTINED TO BECOME A WEATHERWOMAN! I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF! *wipes tears of happiness from face*

 So, it's Friday... and if it's Friday... well, you probably know what that means...

                               IT'S FRIDAY, FRIDAY, GOTTA GET DOWN ON FRIDAY!

                        EVERYBODY'S LOOKIN' FORWARD TO THE WEEKEND, WEEKEND!

                                   FRIDAY, FRIDAY, GETTIN' DOWN ON FRIDAY!

                           EVERYBODY'S - LOOKIN' - FORWARD - TO THE WEEK - END!

 Yes, so what if her voice isn't Enya's, and we already know what day of the week it is, and we already know what goes down on Friday... it's about Fridays and today is Friday. Can you see the resemblance?

 And now, just for you guys, I will share a photo of the cutest thing on earth!!!

 Is it just me, or is this just the cutest thing ever? I'm sorry if it's a little fuzzy, but you can find the higher quality photo when you search "the cutest thing on earth". I'm not sure how it works with Yahoo and other search engines, but it works if you use Google Chrome.

 Oh, yeah, here's another cutest thing in the world picture that turned up. 

 Adorable, or not adorable? If you said the former, you would be correct... 

 I have one more, just because we all love pictures of the "cutest things on earth", but on earth? This belongs in "Universe"! That's actually where I found it.

 Oh. My. God. I. Can't. Go. On.

 That was almost traumatizing, am I right? I'm right.

 Time for FUN WITH FACTS!

 Random Fact: Contrary to popular belief, eating turkey isn't the main reason you feel sleepy after a Thanksgiving feast. The oft-repeated turkey myth stems from the fact that turkey contains the amino acid tryptophan, which forms the basis of brain chemicals that make people tired. [I actually don't eat turkey on Thanksgiving, but if I want to have a good night's sleep, I'll consider it...]

 Random Fact About Me: Blogging is the only setup I have with anything to do with social media. I don't have a Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Youtube, Flickr, Pinterest,Vine, Instagram, Burn Note, Tumblr, or anything like that account. I don't even have a phone, but I (despite the reactions I get when I voice this thought) don't really want one anyway...

 Today's Prophecy: Tomorrow it will be sunny (my weekend depends on it, I always spend time outside on the weekends!) and warm.

 This was Friday's post, hope you enjoyed it. Come back and sit down, because everyone enjoys a sit-down party. Right? Right.

 Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to cover in a post, or an idea for one. If you have a blog of your own, please feel free to leave the link to it in the comments, I'll be sure to check it out!

Thursday: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Okay, so, there wasn't a panda...

 But it was fun imagining it...

 It was fun? Sorry, people. I just gotta...

                                    THAT'S ALL WE REALLY WAAAAAANT!!!
                                                     IS SOME FUUUUUUUN!!!
                                       WHEN THE WORKING DAY IS DONE,
                                    OH, GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUUUN!!!
                                    OH, GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUUUN!!!

 So, today, I'm going to be talking about... oh, hey, look! There's an adorable little bird on the fence outside! He's just bobbing up and down! There go's his head...

 Anyway, today I'm going to be talking about: things everyone (or most)wishes they could do or keep or pull off or happen to have, but can't/don't. Some people can, but they're the people everyone wishes they were. So... yeah.

 (1) Journals/diaries. For me, this is an obvious number one. I've tried so many times to start keeping one, and, for a time, I was able to, but it just... didn't... work...out. 
 I think people want to keep one, usually, because they think it'd be cool, and they'd be, like, the person who's collected and planned and everything. I think it also helps people feel like they're sweet, emotional people that feel beautiful rushes of emotion whenever something happens to them. 
 I mean, people are sweet, emotional beings, but not many people can say they cried with happiness when they're friend gave them a topping off they're slice of pizza. 
 Just sayin'.

 (2) Do a perfect messy bun. For some reason, every girl in my vicinity, it seems, wants to be able to do a perfect messy bun. There's something cool about it that (naturally?) attracts girls, and we're all like, 'Oh my Gawd, I need, like, a latte, pajama pants, and like, duh, a perfect messy bun for insta(gram)!

 (3) Look cool while dancing like no one's watching to the sound coming through your headphones/earbuds. I swear, no one can actually do that. People write books about/with characters like that, but, seriously, I have never seen someone actually pull that off without ending up embarrassed. I swear to God...

 (4) Manage to start everyone in the vicinity singing with a simple, sung line from a song. It just doesn't work like it does in Pitch Perfect!

 (5) Start singing to yourself, than turn around to realize that a talent agent heard you and loves your voice and wants to help you record an album. Face it guys, it's not gonna happen.

 (6) Really and truly and actually drop your books on the way to class/outside your locker, and be helped (coincidentally) by an extremely hot and perfect guy who you later marry and have three kids with. Let's be real...

 (7) Have a secret compartment/trigger to a doorway hidden in your room that leads to a new world/room with sacred, ancient engravings on the walls. Again... this is one of those things that you just gotta face... be brave while I tell you this... it's. Not. Gonna. Happen. *audience starts crying* Don't worry, you don't really care for silly stuff like that, do you? *audience nods and wipes tears away with renewed vigor* Thought so.

 (8) Possess the powers to fly and create stuff with the wave of your hand. Sigh.

 (9) Pull off no makeup one day, then wear a crap ton the next day with no one looking at you like you're crazy. Not that I wear makeup (except for performances), but... still.

 (10) Read every book you got for Christmas/your birthday/whenever else you get presents before you get the next batch. Not sure if this is common or if I'm just weird... ;)

 So, that was fun. I hope you guys can relate to that all that... 

 FUN WITH FACTS! YAAAAAY!

 Word of the Day: Callous. Figure it out.

 Song of the Day: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper ;)

 Random Fact: The equine eye is the largest of all land mammals–whales, seals and the ostrich are the only other animals that have larger eyes. The equine eye is the largest of all land mammals–whales, seals and the ostrich are the only other animals that have larger eyes. [Interesting...]

 Random Fact About Me: I'm really tired today.

 Today's Prophecy: I'll go to bed thinking that I'll do a messy bun in the morning, and wake up feeling like it's pointless. I think this will actually happen...

 That was today's post, so... hope you liked it! Still waiting for comments. All you have to do is sit down (party), comment, and you're good. 

 Okay, in truth, I do love you guys. No parentheses or question marks. I do. <3!

Wednesday: Wings

Okay, so.

 So. 

 I have absolutely NO idea what I'm talking about today, so... I might just wing it. Yep. Totally winging it.

 Well, yesterday's prophecy didn't come true. I woke up at 6:45, before falling asleep till 7:45. A little off the mark, but... the weather doesn't always obey the weatherman, right?

 Oh, I know! I'm sitting in my room right now, and I have a lot of stuff in my room. How about I stand up, close my eyes, spin around, walk towards whatever's in front of me, and blog about that! Good plan, Alice, good plan!

 Here it goes!

 Bad plan. It literally didn't work at all. I tried three times. First time, I got a wall in my face. It was bumpy. Not much else. 

 Second time, I got the corner of the footboard in my hip. It hurt. Not much else. 

 Third time, I got the other side of the footboard in my other hip. It hurt. Not much else.

 And so it goes.    

 Random Question: Do you ever, like, in a public place, feel self-conscious walking over to a bench or something. I do. I'm not insecure or anything, but if I'm the only person moving, I feel like everyone's watching me.

 This is me: Walk. Over. There. It's absolutely fine. It's not like you're the only person moving. It's definitely not like everyone's... watching... you.     

 OMG, just had a major realization. You know that song by Little Mix (an Australian band), Wings? Well, one of my favorite lyrics to sing, is:

                                                 WALK! WALK ON OVER THERE!     
                                                  'CUZ I'M TO FLY TO CAAAARE!
                                                           OH YEEEAAAH!  
                                              YOUR WORDS DON'T MEAN A THING, 
                                                         I'M NOT LISTENING!
                                                 KEEP TALKING, ALL I KNOW IS...            

 Yeah, love that song. Love it so. Freaking. Much.

 Okay. I swear, do you guys feel like I'm babbling on about whatever pops into my head that may or may not be interesting?

 Well, you would be correct...

 Yep, it's a boring day. Booooooorrrrrriiiiiiinnnnnngggggg. Boring. So boring.

 How about a little fun with facts?!?

 Word of the Day: Arbitrary. I am so bored to day that I will spare you the trouble of looking it up. It means based on or subject to individual discretion or preference.

 Yeah, good luck figuring that out.

 Song of the Day: Wings - Little Mix (...)

 Random Fact: Paper money continues to be printed with green ink because, according to the U.S. Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the ink was plentiful and durable and the color green was associated with stability. Today, there is some $1.2 trillion in coins and paper money in circulation in America. [Mostly copied, with a few changes. I'm glad I know... I used to wonder why they weren't purple.]

 Random Fact About Me: When I get a new book off Amazon in the mail, I squeal and jump around, hugging both my parents, before running back to my room to jump on the bed and read, read, read.

 Today's Prophecy: Tomorrow, when I look out my window, there will be a big, fluffy, stuffed panda bear with a red bow around it's neck, waiting for some cuddles! 

 We'll see how this works out...

 Yeah, people of the big, beautiful earth, that's my post for today! Please comment, it's always interesting to hear what others have to say!

 Bye, hope you guys will come back to party! We'll have streamers and chocolate cake and giant stuffed pandas! You could enjoy all this while sitting down, if you like...

 XOXO! YOU KNOW WHERE TO GO!

 That was lame. 

 Anyways... bye!!!

Tuesday: Night Owls, Early Birds

IT'S TEA TIME!

 Yes, I know, you just couldn't wait to be in my presence again after so long! 

 Obviously, that's not the case, you probably came back because you're bored and have nothing else to do, and I actually haven't been gone for that long at all and this is probably an extremely cinnacle way of putting all of this. Hardy-har-har!

 And on that note...

 So, there isn't really much going on today. But last night I literally couldn't sleep, it was horrible. Not even kidding, I fell asleep at ten something (#nightowl), woke up at 1:00 (#earlybird), fell asleep again, woke up at 3:04 (that was an estimate), fell asleep again, woke up again at 5:30, fell asleep again, woke up again at 6:40, fell asleep again, and finally woke up and braved through the half-awake, half-asleep stage for a half hour.

 Oh, hehe, I just noticed, in the parentheses previously, I said #nightowl and #earlybird. There's actually a song by Foxes called that. I LOVE it.

                                                NIGHT OWLS, EARLY BIRDS!
                                WIDE-EYED LOOKIN' LIKE YOU'RE UNDER A CURSE!
                               SAVE ME, SAVE ME, GO UNDERNEATH THE GROUND!
                                              A WILD FIRE INSIDE ME BURNS!
                                    WHY DO I LOOK LIKE I'M WEAR FOR WORSE?
                               SAVE ME, SAVE ME, GO UNDERNEATH THE GROUND!

 I'm telling you, this is the hard life of a homeschooler! Oh yeah, forgot to mention that. I'm HOMESCHOOLED! WHOOPEE!

 For those of you who go to a public/private school, let me explain homeschool. People always react differently when I tell them I'm homeschooled. Most people are like, Oh my GOD! You're so lucky, you probably get to sleep in and do half days, and take off all the time, and get free time, and have snacks, and watch movies, and read books, and you don't have homework, and you can just stay in your pajamas all day! 

 Yeah, no.

 Some of that is true to a certain level. I'm going to go through it one by one, 'kay? 'Kay.

 (1) I am allowed to sleep in if I had a late night the day before, or if I'm sick, or if I have a tiring schedule for the afternoon. Otherwise, I actually love to get up early. Being the only one awake is really fun, and I can get things done before school starts. Pro.

 (2) No, I don't get half days too often. Only when my family has a loong schedule for the day, or have to stay out late. Pro./con.

 (3) I'm actually not allowed to take off school for holidays! I mean, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and my birthday (I count that as a personal holiday), but not the Fourth of July, Valentine's Day, President's Day, and things like that. Con.

 I complain a lot about that...

 (4) Hm, free time. I get a longer lunch break, sometimes I finish school early, and if I get up early enough, I have more than an hour of that before I start. So, I guess? Pro...?

 (5) Snacks. Can't say nada to that... hehehehehehehehe... Pro.

 (6) Movies. No. Never. Ever. Con.

 (7) Read books. Sometimes. Usually for school, though. Pro./con.

 (8) Homework. That's definitely a pro.

 (9) Pajamas all day? I'm definitely allowed to, but I hate doing it. Fact: Studies have shown that you feel more awake when you change from pajamas into clothes. I haven't worn pajamas during the day since.

 So, there you go. That's a list of everything people have right, and what they have wrong. Trust me, I have other friends who are homeschooled, and it turns out, we all agree.

 Time to party! Sit down!

 Word of the Day: Constituent. Look it up.

 Song of the Day: Night Owls, Early Birds - Foxes. Come on, people, we knew it.

 Random Fact: While everyone assumes the "G" stands for "Green Bay," the oval logo actually stands for "Greatness." The Packers hold a trademark on the logo which was created by equipment manager George Braisher back in 1961. [Copied, again. But... wow. Now I have a record of one thing I know about football that my dad doesn't!]

 Random Fact About Me: My room has gone through three different wall colors. In order: lilac, mint green, and pink, the current color. I plan to paint it white in the summer.

 Today's Prophecy: Tomorrow, I will wake up at 7: 47. Completely random, but I stand by my word. By the way, I actually haven't finished March (Conspiracy 365, yesterday's prophecy), but I still have the afternoon...

 So, yeah guys! This is today's post, hope you enjoyed it enough to want to come back and party, sit down, smell the roses, whatever ya wanna do! Please comment, like, and subscribe. JK, this is not Youtube. But, really, do comment. Then you can join the party!

 I won't discriminate, though. You could also join the sit-down...

 Love you guys (do I?) I have no doubt that I love you guys... keyboard just, hehe, wanted to have some fun with parentheses and question marks! Bad... keyboard...?
