I'm back!

I haven't been posting for a while but it's okay because I'm back now! Have I been away long enough to even be "back?" Oh well... Another rant for another time. What's been happening... Let's see... Well, I've started at RPA and I'm really enjoying it. My 16th birthday is in two months, fourteen days, seven hours and forty-two minutes. I'm trying to convince everybody to pitch in twenty bucks to buy me a camera. Granted the camera's only ninety-seven bucks so if everybody pitches in twenty dollars maybe there will still be enough left over to buy something else. The pumpkin patch opens in six days, seven hours and thirty-nine minutes which makes me incredibly happy! I've narrowed my costume choices down to two options this year:

Mr Bean

 And the Joker (who looks rather dashing in this picture)

Well, as dashing a misunderstood serial killer can be...

What are your thoughts? So yup... That's kind of what's been happening lately. I have nothing else to talk about so byeeee!

-Why so... serious?-

New Post!

It's been practically forever since the last time that I posted anything and so now I'm sitting down to write anything something that will probably turn out to be completely irrelevant worth your time! Ah lets see... What have I been up to? Well, I'm back in Oregon (unfortunately) and for the last month I've been taking care of my elderly neighbor who lives across the street who just had knee surgery. I went to the Oregon state fair in Salem which was surprisingly less fun than I could have possibly imagined. Okay, well, I guess it was okay. It was just very chaotic and there wasn't any order. I could have stayed at home and went to the local fair rather than travel three hours! I learned how to make Gobs! What??? You've never heard of Gobs??? They're basically like a homemade Oreo Cakester only they taste way better and they're the most delicious melt-in-your-mouth-little-piece-of-chocolate-heaven thing-a-ma-jig that you'll ever experience. Now if that doesn't sell you on the idea of making Gobs then I don't know what will. I started school last week which is amazing! It's a college prep school so everything's set up exactly as if you were going to college. I don't even go to school every day and when I do I don't have classes all day and the days that I do have classes, I have breaks in between. Sorry for wasting your time on this post but I really don't have anything else to say... Oh! Yesterday I achieved a HUGE milestone in my life. I went to the movies and saw an R rated movie. I saw Don't Be Afraid of the Dark which was AMAZING! Granted I don't think that it should have been rated R because it wasn't scary and language and stuff was completely appropriate. Next month Paranormal Activity 3 comes out and I think that I'll consider that OFFICIALLY my rated R milestone. Here's an interesting fact about me: I love horror movies! Especially if they're well made. I think that the Paranormal movies are my favorites because they're very well made and original. The acting in them is so natural and the connection that the audience makes with the actors makes the movie significantly more terrifying. I actually just found out about the third one last night at the movies and here's the trailer. It comes out next month and should be AMAZING!

FRIENDS

-When you start falling who's gonna' catch ya'? I'm willing to betcha' it will be me.-

Who's the person who's been there for you for as long as you can absolutely possibly remember? When's the last time that you thanked that person for being there and thanked God for giving you that person? I suppose that everyone's disposable (as terrible as that sounds) and that person doesn't have to be there for you. They could save their energy and put it towards something/someone else (not that they would because you are amazing after all). Just remember the small blessings in life and enjoy them even more than the BIG ones because they're usually better in the long run and they tend to be much more frequent anyway. So after reading this you feel like calling (not texting, IMing or Emailing) up your best friend and thanking them for being there with you through everything or your brother's friend's mom's sister's neighbor for saying hi to you that one time when you weren't feeling your best go ahead because they'll appreciate it and why not return one of the smiles that they've let you borrow over the time that you've known them?

-Friendship's like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it but only you get the warm feeling that comes from it.-

Summer/Fall

This Summer was the shortest Summer of my life! School starts in only two short weeks but I don't suppose that's entirely a bad thing. With the end of Summer (no matter how depressing that may be) brings around Fall. In my case it's already starting to feel like Fall (anybody with me on that). I guess it started when I went to Walgreen's and there was Halloween/Autumn decor. Instantly I had the urge to go home and bake a pie, decorate, carve a pumpkin, snuggle up in a blanket, jump in a pile of leaves, etc. If you've read this blog for even just a little bit you probably know that Summer's my favorite season by default on account of that I don't have to go to school, but Fall's a close second. Another thing that you should know is that I go over-board with seasonal things and so I get impatient for seasons to change during the year. This is me in about a month:

Pumpkin carving's always fun. :)

My favorite pie's Lemon Meringue but for the sake of all things Fall-ish we'll say these are pumpkin (also a lot easier to make than Lemon Meringue).

This is me wrapped in blankets fresh from the dryer.

This is me pretending to be a dinosaur.

And I always feel like I'm missing something after decorating.

Yes I am aware that this is at Christmas

What traditions/obsessions do you have during the Fall? I'd love to know. :)

-♫So hurry back we would like your company♫-

Dear Oregon,

I hate you. Not that you care, of course. I'd like for you to know that you offer me nothing in life and I owe nothing to you. I'd much rather not stay, of course, which is why in twenty-seven months, twenty-nine days and thirty-one minutes I will bid you adieu and hopefully never return for any lengthy period of time. I'm infuriated for you allowing my parents to become infatuated with you and refuse to allow me to move back to my nostalgic security blanket known as Bakersfield. You were never supposed to be permanent and I won't ever allow you to become that. I won't find anything that could possibly make me become attached.

-Unfortunately yours (for now),

Ernie has a stupid number. -_-

Halloween planning (because it's not too far away)

Fist off, I'm watching Sesame Street and Ernie claims that nobody likes six to Bert when Bert says that 6 is his favorite number. Six is my favorite number! Am I starting to be as anal as Bert and is it pathetic to be comparing myself to a Muppet? So back to what I was originally going to post on. Halloween is in exactly two months, twenty-five days, nine hours and forty-three minutes. That's not too far away! Time to start planning. Last year I was the Mad Hatter based on the Lewis Carroll/Disney version:

I always make my own costumes so I have to start planning early. I'm going with two options as of right now. 

First: Tim Burton/Johnny Depp Mad Hatter:

I like this one because of the theatricality/complexity of everything and I think that I could pull it off quite nicely.

Second: Chimney Sweep (I can't find a picture that I like on Google so here's a drawing):

Don't pay attention to the hands because I suck at hands.

So, which do you think (because your opinions matter)?
