hi there/ update/ craziness

So...

I haven't blogged in quite a little while. For starters, I went to the beach last week and had zero, and I mean ZERO internet connection. I feel kinda bad for neglecting my blog, but I'm really excited to be back up and blogging again. Along with going to the beach last Monday, I also took my Senior picture and got my last parking pass (spot #1) which was kinda weird, but exciting. I cannot believe that all this is happening. Tomorrow I will be going to a meeting for my last year as a Freshman mentor, I will also be going to my last first cheerleading practice as a Cardinal Cheerleader (not to mention that it is Seniors only, and the fact that I am included is crazy!). I just can't wait to see what this year brings. Summer is just about over, and i will miss it, but this is going to be such a fun last year, it just know it. Although it will be really challenging, I'm just so excited to experience it along with all of my fellow seniors. So, I think I'm about to wrap up this post. Look forward to a posts on the beach, Chad's 18th Birthday, cheerleading adventures, and all that is about to happen as I begin SENIOR YEAR.

Tommorrow.

So...

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow I get my very last parking pass to park in the ESHS parking lot.

Tomorrow I will be getting my Senior portrait (the formal, drape one) taken.

Tomorrow I will be heading with Chad and Mommy Dearest to the Beach! 

Tomorrow is a bitter-sweet yet exciting day!

Today I'm a Shattered Fishtail Frenchie with a new camera.

SO...

I am a bad blogger. It's already Thursday and I haven't even typed blogger.com into my address bar. But I remembered today that blogging at least twice a week is one of my goals for July. I'm doing kinda okay on those by the way. 

BUT ANYWAYS

Today I went with my mother for some mother/daughter time at the nail salon. I was soo excited. The last time I got my nails done was in 7th grade, and now I'm a Senior. So yeah, it's been a while. I could not decide what I wanted to do though. I really wanted to get neon pink on all of my fingernails and have both my ring fingers painted with a glitter nail polish. But when I got there I saw that they had silver shatter by O.P.I and I was like " I have to get this!" So I picked a hot pink ( "Va Va Voom" by Orly) as the base and silver shatter to go over it. Needless to say I was excited.

Then for my toes I just got French tips, which I love <3

Oh and to top off my whole wonderful day, I successfully did a fishtail braid & I got a new camera. I got the Samsung PL 120, it's the one with the two screens so you can see yourself if your taking  picture of yourself or with you and other people. So yeah, I am super excited :) 

That's my day today. Tell me all about yours! :)

It Finally Hit Me

So...

Today it all hit me.

I finally came to the realization that I am a SENIOR.

A Senior in high school.

The final year has arrived.

And this realization is quite hard to believe.

I will soon be getting my senior pictures taken, working really hard on my last set of high school classes, picking a college to spend the next four years of my life at, being a senior leader in cheerleading, having my last year of cheerleading ever, and cramming fun times and wonderful memories with my fellow seniors and friends. Before I know it I will be going to my Senior prom, buying my cap and gown, and walking across a stage.

This is all beyond surreal. Like where did time go? I feel like I have 4 or 5 more years before all this should be happening. In a little over three months I will be 18 years old, an "adult". I don't know about you, but to me, I don't look like no "adult". No one in the Senior class does to me really. So that's really a weird thing for me to think about. 

But even though this is crazy to me, it is also exciting. We wait so long to be here and when it comes we say, "Hey, don't go so fast."

 But here it is, and here we are Senior Class of 2012.

 Time to make this last year count!

Goodwill Trip & Some Random Good Finds

So...

You may or may not know, but I love goodwill. I am not ashamed to say that I do shop there, I mean, come on it's like a big yard sale (which I also love by the way). Like there is so much stuff for like crazy cheap, and sometimes I find some crazy good and cute stuff. Chad will tell you that when I go into goodwill I will get a cart and just walk around putting anything and everything into it that I like or maybe kinda sort like and will have the thing full in like 15-20 minutes. Then it takes me forever to sort through everything and find what I want and then of that stuff, find what I have enough money for. I always feel really bad leaving things behind that I want really bad. All in all I just have a super fun time in there, like I have way more fun than an individual should. So, the other day I went into Goodwill with Chad and I only had 4 dollars...and of course I found A TON of cute stuff. I went through the clothes and found like 5 things I wanted, I found 3 adorable purses, and A BAZILLION cute random things that could go in my room and like home decor stuff....and I only had 4..freaking...dollars. To my happiness Chad said that I could pick out either one shirt or one purse and he would buy it for me (what a sweetheart right?) and I had to go with this cute little floral tank top, I just couldn't go home without it.

Then I went and picked out 4 things to buy with my 4 dollars out of the little home decor section. I was looking for cute little things to put in my new bedroom when I get my new house, and I am on the lookout for vintage and vintage-esk pieces. I had come to the perfect place apparently.  So the things I picked out were as follows:

An old picture/painting that I fell in love with

A cute little flower shaped saucer/bowl which I have been on the look out for for quite a while.

A little gold elephant. I thought he was so cute! :)

And finally this little square container. (It's not really vintage, but I have been needing something like this for storage so I figured I'd get it.)

Chad was also nice enough to buy the little elephant for me, because it turned out that I wouldn't have enough money for everything. Again, he is so sweet! 

And all my amazing things only cost me $3.21. A steal!

So, yeah, that was my successful goodwill trip and the things I came out of it with. Once I get some more money, I am for sure returning to pick up the stuff that I had to leave behind. I'm planning on selling some stuff and Platos Closet, and doing housework for mother so hopefully money will be coming my way soon! :) 

Ride Request

So...

at the moment I am all about some vintage.

clothes. random stuff. i want it all.

i went to goodwill the other day and got some cute stuff with chad and i might do a separate post about all that. but, i'm just sitting at home and was thinking that, yes, i do have a bicycle, but....

I WANT A VINTAGE BICYCLE!

www.inmagine.com

one. i think that they are so cute

two. it would be old and vintage so therefore i love it

three. i really wish i lived in a place that i could ride it instead of driving (let me move to new york city please!)

four. i really wanna make it look all cute with a little basket and get me a little bell and stuff

yeah, that is my thoughts right now. thought i would share. :)

Sorry

sorry i changed so much.
sorry i isolated myself.
sorry i want you to talk to me first.
sorry i am opinionated.
sorry i want to voice it when i know i am right.
sorry i think i am better than other people.
sorry i do not know when to keep my mouth shut.
sorry i do not like some people and
sorry i voice when i do not like some one
sorry i do not have the "balls" to act like a grown up
sorry i act like child
sorry i actually want to have friends and a fun high school experience like everyone else
sorry i want people to actually care about me.
sorry i want people to actually notice me.

sorry.

i bet no one will even read this. that is fine. at least i tried.

Fears

So, I'm just sitting here and I was thinking about all the things I am afraid of.

Naturally I stumbled over to the www.phobialist.com and thought I would share with you some of the phobias I discovered I have.

Alektorophobia- Fear of chickens

Atychiphobia- Fear of failure

Automatonophobia- Fear of ventriloquist's dummies, animatronic creatures, wax statues - anything that falsly represents a sentient being.

Catagelophobia- Fear of being ridiculed.'

Cleithrophobia or Cleisiophobia- Fear of being locked in an enclosed place.

Coulrophobia- Fear of clowns

Decidophobia- Fear of making decisions

Hadephobia- Fear of hell

Harpaxophobia- Fear of being robbed

Ornithophobia -Fear of Birds

So yeah, there is some of my phobias. I know, to some of you they my seem silly but to me, they are obviously scary. When I was looking on the website I found that I have a ton more, but I didn't really feel like putting them all on here because that would take FOREVER! 

So, what are some of your phobias? 

My Expectations for July.

So, being that it is the first day of July I figured that I would try to make a little list of some monthly goals for myself. I've seen other people do this on some of my favorite blogs, and thought it was a really good idea. I just have a little, simple list...let's see if I succeed.

JULY GOALS:

-Actually finish cleaning my room

-Go swimming a ton

-Hang out with my friends more

-Blog at least twice a week

-Exercise four times a week

-Go back to me and Chad's favorite spot to watch the sun go down and the stars come out

So, there ya go! My list of this month's goals. I think I will try to do this every month, kinda to keep myself on track.

So what are your personal goals for this month??

p.s. I miss June already...

brings a smile to my face... :)

So, as you can gather from my last post I'm kinda freaked out about the whole "college" thing. Like I am the most indecisive person you will ever meet. I DETEST making decisions. I don't know where I got this from, but it really can deter a person in everyday life. However, a little while ago I was reading one of my favorite blogs and in this particular post I found this bible verse that she had written:

Jeremiah 29:11.

'For I know the plans I have for you' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'

Reading this made me feel better inside, and brought a smile to my face. Maybe, just maybe things won't be has bad as I thought... :)

Scared just a little....

So, I know that it's summer.

I know that we are supposed to be living young, wild, and free or whatever.

But, today at family Sunday dinner my great aunt asked Cory and I what we were gonna do for college. 

I honestly have zero idea.

and I'm a little scared to say the least.

what if I can't figure it out....what if I make a wrong decision.....

Why you so obsessed with me?! haha My current Obsessions :)

Sooooo.....

Currently I find myself being obessed with:

*Feather Extensions

  I want some SO bad!

*Looking up ideas for re-doing my room when I move houses

*This bag

It is GORGEOUS.

*Lauren Conrad

Not in a creepy way. I just really like her style, and her books.

*Kendall Jenner

Again, not creepy. I like her style, and she is a cheerleader so she is automatically AWESOME. :)

*Youtube

I spend SO much time watching beauty and fashion videos on there. Like you would not believe. Especially MacBarbie07 videos, I love her! I really wanna start making youtube videos, like it seems super fun, but I don't know.... :)

*Magazines

*Cutting up old magazines and saving them to make collages and what not!

I have wayyy too much fun doing this.

*Twitter

I freaking love tweeting :)

*Swimming and just being in the sun

Well it is Summer after all....

*Downloading TONS of new songs

So, yeah. This is just some of the things that I find I am currently obsessed with. Ya know, like just a quick update I felt like posting. Uh, I just love this stuff. :)

Later Alligator ;)

It gets Better :)

So, I know that lately my posts have not been the happiest things in the world.

BUT....

My world is already looking better.

and I couldn't be more happy or excited to see what is in store for me now in my life.

All I can say is...Finally :)

ASIA IS HAPPY!

Too Much on my plate.

I feel like I'm drowning in my own life.
I don't know what to do.
I've gotten in too deep.
How do I get out...

My New Hero!

So, I'm getting back into blogging. YAAAYYYY! 
I know that I haven't blogged for a while. Well besides the one that I did yesterday at like 9:00 or something, but  before that it was an extremely large gap in between my posts. If you go read some older posts you can see my excuses for why I haven't blogged...I'm busy..yadda yadda yadda. 
But, yeah, I am really getting back into it and am excited to just start posting whatever the heck I feel like. Hopefully those who read it will enjoy it, and if you don't then it's whatever.


So, (have you noticed I say "so" more than one person should? I have) on to the actual point behind this. I was just looking around on YouTube and found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAk0-4oAqc8. I have a YouTube account, but I don't make videos (but I was contemplating starting that...hmmm...I don't know). ANYWAYS, I found this video that I previously linked and it changed my whole mindset on everything. This girl is my new hero. It's pretty inspirational, not gonna lie. GO CHECK IT OUT! (Disclaimer: There is quite alot of cussing involved so just to warn you)


I'll just let you go watch it for yourself, rather than try to explain everything to you. But I found it quite amazing :)

Wanted: A Friend

So as most of you know, I have a boyfriend who I mention in several posts, and when I say several I mean pretty much all of them. This boy has become my best friend over the past year and few months and I love him dearly, but there is a disadvantage sometimes with having a best friend who is a boy. There are just somethings that he just doesn't understand, and if something is going on with me and him who am I gonna tell? Who can I talk about girl things with? I don't really have anyone like that anymore. If you go read this post that I did a few months ago, you will see my friend situation. Things have remained the same as they were when I described them at the end of my blog post. Today, I took a walk to give myself a chance to really think about things. I realized that what I really need most is a friend. So, in all pathetic-ness this is my want ad for a friend.

Wanted:

A new best friend

*Criteria:*

-Female

-17-18 years of age

-Someone I can have fun with

-Lives in my area

-Preferably attends my high school or one close to me, like extremely close...like I'm talking either my school or the city schools and if you know my personally then you know where I am talking about.

-Someone who I can confide in

-Someone who can confide in me

-Likes Chad, and is supportive of our relationship

-Similar values to myself

-Will introduce me to new things

-Have similar interests to me

-Will be willing to talk about girly things with me (clothes, makeup, how stupid boys are, etc.)

-Won't judge me or make me feel down

-Make me feel good when I am around them/ talk to them in some form or fashion

-Will be there for me when I need them (because I will be there for them. I like to think that I am very loyal and reliable person.)

-Easy for me to talk to

-Someone to hang out with (any where and everywhere)

-Someone to be like a sister to me...since I don't have one of my own.

-Someone to be my very best friend and to call me their best friend as well.

So, yeah...there it is. Pathetic isn't it? But whatever, I know what I need and this is it. I've had this for about 10-11 years and now that I don't I'm kind of aware of what to ask for. 
I really hope that something (or someone) positive will come about soon. All I can do is try.

1 year....1 week.....and six days ago.....

so i know that i am like a week and a half late on this, i just haven't really been in the blogging mood really. i've been super duper busy with school and cheerleading and such as well. but i really wanted to write a post about this.

so.............

on april the 27th 2011, chad and i celebrated our 1 YEAR anniversary <3

i could not have been anymore excited! chad is everything to me, and i love him more than anyone i have ever known. he is my perfect person, best friend, boyfriend, everything :) we couldn't be closer, and i love it!

like i have said previously, alot has changed in a year, like my feelings for chad. as our relationship has grown, my love has grown deeper. for him. i know people will tell me i am too young, or that i am stupid, dumb, or naive, well i do not care what those people think even in the slightest. as chad would tell me, "this relationship is between me and you, not them. i like it that way :)"

so, for the big one year me and chad had to go to school...fun right? wrong. but i was so happy to spend the day with him, i didn't really care where it was. it was the first day back from spring break.

our day went as follows:

at around 6:30 AM chad came to my house and we exchanged gifts.

(mine were entirely home-made)

i made him a huge home-made card

as well as a dvd about us :)

he loved it thank goodness, it took me FOREVER to make!

and chaddie got me a gorgeous necklace and pair of matching earrings. it was really hard for me to get a good picture of either so this will have to do:

i absolutely love them. he said that he had been keeping this for like 4 or 5 months, and couldn't wait to give them to me on our one year. he also said the necklace has two stones on it to represent me and him together :) he's such a sweetheart !

then, we went to school...fun stuff.

After school he and i went to his house to pick up the food for our picnic that he had planned for us and made our way to the park near his house to set out a blanket and have our date :)

it was soo much fun, and so sweet <3 i loved it.

we then went back to his house and watched a movie until it was time for me to go home. even though we didn't do very much, i still loved everything about our one year date because it was simple, sweet, and i was with my chad which was the only thing that mattered.

the past year with him has been quite amazing. so many great memories that we made together, and great times that we have had. wonderful moments that i will cherish <3

so, we have one year down, and a lot more to go...<3

Chad, I love You.

My Easter Sunday

so today is, obviously,
easter:)

this morning i woke up to find a multitude of candy (mainly reeses, which excites me) and got myself all ready to go to church. we went to my grandpa's church up in virginia with our whole family. we always go to church together on easter sunday with my grandpa.

follwoing church, we all went back to my grandpa's house for lunch and family time. i ate an amazing hamburger prepared by my father and spent some quality time with mi familia. :)

then after we ate, it was outside to play cornhole :) and even though i stink at this game it was rather a good time.

i got to spend time with my wonderful cousins whom i haven't seen in a while.

when we left my grandpa's house i got to drive my mom's explorer home, which made me quite happy :)

once home i decided to take a walk around the place, and take a few pictures along the way.
(i kind of had a minture photo shoot-don't judge)

and finally, cory lee came over and we jumped on the trampoline for a while. i just love how he randomly shows up at my house haha. gotta love him :)

i must say that i have thoroughly enjoyed my easter. at the moment i am just enjoying the beautiful weather on my back porch and soaking up all that is springtime... <3
