Photo Editing Fun

So... I really like Snapseed.
That is all.

Also... this makes my hair look all ombre-ish...

I've always told myself I would never dye my hair...

But I kinda like this!

Ummm... no.

I can't dye my hair!

Or can I...?

Ughh.

The Day of Valentine

When you bring your own rose to school and carry it around to make you feel special because you know you're not going to get an actual valentine from anyone.

But then you actually end up getting an anonymous valentine from someone for the first time ever!

And so you feel quite lame for bringing yourself a rose. :P

(I apologize for the extremely attractive picture of me.)

Adult?

It's so weird to be an adult. Because I feel exactly the same. Except for the fact that when I'm out in public, I feel like people are judging more. But I'm pretty sure they're not... I'm just stupid and paranoid. :P

And it's kinda hard to enjoy your birthday when two of your really good friends aren't at school. :(

But it's easier to enjoy your birthday when one of your friends brings you brownies, you give an epic English presentation, and your parents give you an iPod 5. :)

I'm so blessed with amazing friends and family. :D

Birthday = Success

The Seven Wonders of the World

Did I tear up during this video?  Yes.
But maybe it's just because I've been kind of down lately.

Those Little Things that Create the Best Days.

-I listened to Les Miserables music in the morning and had "Stars" stuck in my head all day.

-I completely understand my Calculus homework and got half of the problems done in class.

-I had a cello lesson during third period.  The guy I like called me in the middle of my lesson to have me help him with Physics homework.  Then I texted him afterward my lesson, and he told me to go to the library. When I got there he wasn't even doing Physics... he obviously just wanted to be with me.  (Yeah, whatever.  That's so not it.  But a girl can dream, can't she?)

-I found out that one of my new-found friends' birthday is exactly a week after mine. :)

-My friend Maddie mentioned the song "Stars" in Chamber Singers... and it was a coincidence that made me happy since the song had been stuck in my head all day.

-We performed for a random freshman English teacher in Jive.

-I invited the aforementioned special guy over to work on Physics homework after school, and he came. :) And then my mom invited him to stay for dinner, and he did.  :) :)  It was so fun! ...Wow.  I never thought I'd say that Physics homework is "so fun," but with him, it genuinely was!

-I got to play my cello at mutual because I'm playing it at New Beginnings next week.

-We had an early birthday party for me and a couple other girls for mutual.  Where we played a bunch of fun games.  One of which forced me to eat an entirely over-ripe banana.  So fun. :P

-I had cake.  Which was the first sweet I have eaten for a week because I told myself I would not eat sweets for all of February unless they were birthday or Valentine's Day related.  ...And after I ate it I felt sick.  Which is good!  I'm weaning myself off of sugar. :)  Usually two pieces of cake that size wouldn't faze me, but this one made me want to puke.  (Not that it wasn't good cake... I mean, it was DELICIOUS.)

-I'm actually going to be getting to bed before midnight. :)

That Annoying Moment...

When you stay up until two in the morning finishing your Calculus homework.  For once.  Because you never finish it, and decided that if you actually want to pass the class you should probably do it.  And you start your English paper afterwards.  But then think "Oh my.  It's two in the morning.  Why the heck am I writing an English paper?"  And decided to go to bed instead.  And then in the morning you get to Calculus to find out that the majority of the rest of the class didn't do their assignment, so she gives everyone an extra day.  And in your second period class you madly type your English paper, but only get half done, and email your English teacher what you have.  And then she thinks you sent the email after class, after you have listened to the class discussion. (Which you so totally didn't do!!!!)  And you're just really mad because you try hard but can't do everything up to par.  And you'll never survive college.  If you even get that far.

But on the plus side... You've been listening to Les Miserables music almost constantly since last night. And when you're not listening to it, it's playing in your head. :)  There's always a reason to be happy. :D

A Pleasant Surprise!

I really need to blog more often!  On both of my blogs!  This is so unacceptable!  I need to make blogging more of a priority.  A priority over Facebook and Command & Conquer Generals:  Zero Hour.  (Dang! That second one's gonna be hard!)  But it needs to be a priority below homework.  (Which will probably be even harder.)  But anywho... off to my real reason for posting!

Thursday night I was babysitting for this woman in my ward, she wanted the kids in bed by 7:30, but she wasn't going to be back until 9:30.  So I was just watching TV, but then around 8:00 I received a phone call.  From Ashlee Twiss.  She is a good friend of my brother, and I have talked to her somewhat in the past.  It was quite surprising to get a phone call from her!  She told me she had watched some of my Music Post Monday videos, and she thought I was amazing and wants me to teach her how to sing and play the piano!  Crazy!  And she also said she just wants to hang out with me more.  So she invited me to go see the Imaginary Invalid with her on Friday night.  Of course I went!  I wanted to see it again anyway. :)  After the play we sat in my car and talked and talked and talked!  Until a school security guard (I didn't even know they had those..?!) came over to my car and told us that we had to  leave because it was past time for him to call the cops... awkward.  My phone was dead and my car doesn't have a working clock, so I didn't know what time it was!  It turned out to be midnight.  Oops.  But no matter, it was so fun to hang out with Ashlee and talk to her. :)
