22yo
Aloha! Yes, I’ve decided to adopt some Hawaiian into my dialogue. Everything Hawaiian is so fun to say, so why not?
Believe it or not, I’m actually in an amazing mood: which is so strange considering how this year has gone so far. Here are just a few of my “misadventures” this year:
- My very first traffic ticket… ever.
- Oral surgeon operation… and strange aftermath involving yet another extraction.
- A pulled tendon/ligament on my right foot due to a horrible toe-stubbing incident (this happened last night)
- Dare-to-Live being hacked… again.
- More snow storms and power outages than I can count
- The online newspaper falling through because of… complications
- Losing my purse and getting the crap scared out of me for like, an hour
- Bad bad fights that I don’t want to get into more detail with
Yikes… and the sad thing is, this is only part of what this year has been like for me so far. So you would think I’d be pretty upset? Truth is, I have been… but then when I looked at the list in a different way, it didn’t seem quite so bad. Let me give you an example:
- The traffic cop gave me a break and was very nice, so the ticket could have been worse. Also, had he not stopped me, I could have probably gotten into an accident.
- The operation went great, it didn’t hurt like I thought it would. See previous entry for details. It’s really just the time it took to get it all done that’s annoying me.
- I could have had a broken toe, it’s a miracle I didn’t, to be honest.
- The hacker didn’t have time to screw up my site before I tore all of his work down.
- The snow made for some amazing pictures for the paper.
- The online newspaper would have taken forever anyway… which would have taken away from this site… and possibly my grades.
- I FOUND the purse because someone honest turned it in at the library.
- I have friends and a boyfriend who love me no matter how stupid I act.
So see, no matter how bad things get, there’s almost always something positive to look for, usually in the turn-out. So in a way, I’ve actually been lucky this year. Anyway, I’m trying to look at life more like list #2 than list #1. It will be pretty difficult, as I’ve always had a pessimistic nature, but I think I can pull it off. If I’ve learned anything at college, it’s that I can pull off anything if it’s important enough for me to keep trying at. And this is definitely important… for my sanity and the sanity of those who have to live with me.
Soo I saw Wonderland last night!!!!!!!!!!!
I know you were expecting a positive review about this from me, because of my Depp obsession, but surprisingly I was also impressed with the actress they chose for Alice. The fact that she’s an unknown intrigued me, but I expected her to be dry and awkward in her acting ability (think Kristen Stewart circa Twilight film 1) but she actually managed to pull off a strong personality in her role. Alice had a lot more bite to her this go around. She wasn’t the prim little princess who burst into tears at the drop of a hat. She took charge with very little hesitation and showed Wonderland who was boss. And, of course, my favorite character was still the Mad Hatter. Alice may have saved the day, but the Hatter did the flutterwagen… and there’ s no topping that. And a flutterwagen is? Well… go see for yourself. 
So, I’ve chosen to adopt a pretty kick-ass quote from the movie into my list of favorites: “I sometimes believe in at least six impossible things before breakfast.” What a nice idea! I definitely need to try that sometime. We all should. That’s my challenge for all of my affiliates (and whomever else wants to try it). Think of six things you believe are impossible to achieve in your life… then believe they can happen. And, of course, post them on your next blog so we can all cheer you on!
Anyway, after the movie Amy and I spent about an hour at the local Wal-Mart mixing and matching some pretty cool bracelets from the bins in the usually crappe jewelry section. They’ve improved that area a lot, and we wound up picking out the most insane bracelet combos imaginable. Here’s mine for example:
Haha, there are so many that I’ll probably just wind up wearing them all the time… much easier than trying to take them off. LOL! Anyway, this made me realize just how much I miss shopping and “girls night out”, so I definitely need to plan some kind of trip to the city for spring break. That would be great.
So anyway, I need to start revamping some pages, so that’s all for now!
I try to view things as “It could have been worse.” and that helps get me through the day most of the time. A lot of the times things are just how we choose to think of them.
Cute bracelets.
