Random Relaxing Day

Today was pretty relaxing. It started off with my alarm waking me up at 11. I rolled around for an hour, I believe, then got up, brushed my teeth, and got straight to lunch XD. Spent my morning/noon eating leftover Miyabi's watching "Taking The Stage" (had them recorded while I was off at college). Before I knew it, it was time for me to go get a checkup with my orthodontist. Ahhh it was pouring once I got there! I ran in, and to my delight, my orthodontist told me it was my last checkup. The bad new is that I have to wear my retainers until I'm 25!!! AHH!
I went to Alex's house afterwards. He came out with an umbrella. How sweet <3. We spent our time wrestling each other and tickling each other. Haha fun time. William needed a ride home from school after his band practice, so I left to go pick him up.
At my house, after my dinner of more Miyabi's leftovers, my aloe drink, and pizza, I got ready to play my video games by showering and turning on the computer for a last minute check on facebook and all.
I decided to turn on my ipod, and listened to Forever by Drake.
It brings me back to my senior year of high school. I was confident, arrogant, and met anything that threatened my achievements with hostility. I had such a drive back then. I had hunger in my eyes even throughout my most stressful competitions and courses.
Now, the arrogance has become a type of calm humility. College really turns a person around. The people I met are so down-to-earth. They don't look at me with a transparent smile that they believed would cover their thirst to take me down. There wasn't a soul that I met with selfish thoughts of trying to upstage me, one-up me, whatever you call it. Maybe it's the people I chose to hang out with who are so calm and down-to-earth. They really changed me.
It's so different. So much of that stress melted away.
I look at my brother now. He has that same hunger and drive as I did. It's in different situations, but he's going through it all the same. He faces every challenge that gets in the way of his successes. He's so tough, threatening all that even try to talk down to him.
He does listen to me when I tell him college is different. "Haters" are rare, everyone are more mature. It's a completely different world. But would a loosening grip of that drive be a good thing for him?

Sometimes I wonder if I should have kept that drive. I may be in college, but I still have a lot of competition ahead of me. Life is one big competition, even if you don't want to believe it. There will be classmates who want a higher GPA than you. After college, there will be someone else in that chair interviewing for that same job as you.

I don't know if I can even get that drive back.

William's Birthday

Today's William's Birthday! AHHH he's finally 18! I still have this image of him when he was 14, before he got all stretched into this tall lanky piece of hideousness. HAHA Just kidding. Hard to imagine he's so old now, with his Bieber cut and his pierced ears and his always-bored expression.
I woke up at around 2, I think... not sure, because my parents woke me up. We started the day with me in my red teddy bear nightgown, walking around half-asleep, looking for my birthday present to William. My mom told me it was in the kitchen. I went and grabbed the target bag, quickly pulled off the price on the price tag, and went to William's room to present William his present: a purple tee with Stewie's face on it. He seemed to really like it, since he wore it to Miyabi's later on.
I felt bad for him when the blue Cartman shirt that I got him was ruined when my mom accidentally added bleach to it. It was one of his all-time favorite shirts, so I've decided to get him more graphic tees from now on.

Miyabi's was good@ I've almost forgotten how good their chicken was! I'm sure gonna have a blast with my midnight snack! Maybe I should stop with midnight snacks though.... I'm getting chunkier as we speak. I don't care since I'm on summer break, but once I get back to school this Saturday, I'm gonna have to go back on my diet! Ahh!

I arranged for someone to come sing a song for William at Miyabi's. There was singing, drumming, forcing William to dance, a little piece of packaged cake, a plant with a candle on top for William to make his wish, and a picture taken too! It costed $5.50 extra, but it was worth it if it made William happy.

Well, off to gaming in Kingdom Hearts I go! I hope I don't get motion sickness from playing it like I did last time...

Photoshoot Day with Megan

Today Megan picked me up for a fun photoshoot day at her house! We took many many pictures in different outfits for fun! For one of the outfits, I helped her with this dress, which was a really cute grey mini that has a high collar and an opening at the center. She was worried that it would look too skimpy, but I put a nice belt on her and did her hair and OMFG she could become a top model right there!

Hair: me
styling: Megan and me
pose: me
photographer: me

Yep I sure helped out very well! She looks AMAZING!!

And okay, okay, I should add one of me too... here we go:







This was our fierce lion/tiger impersonation. Rawr!

Watched a bit of Death Note while she uploaded the pics. But the DVD was probably a little scratched because it skipped near the middle... grr...

Overall, GOOD DAY!

I love you Megan!!! <3

Friendful Day!

Such an eventful dayyyy!!!

Ahh I'm gonna miss Mariah so much! She's moving to Florida tomorrow! She will only visit maybe once every five months and I'll probably be in Raleigh!! Aww, one of my favoritest buddies since sophomore year of high school is leaving me!! Wahhh!!


Here we were, Mariah, Jeremy, and I, back in 2007 at the Dogwood Festival. I'll upload a more recent pic... SOON!

Without my Mariah, who will I share my love of things that are just a tad spooky, things that are just a little out of the ordinary, our love of makeup, or simple chats about many things of life that may or may not matter??
I WILL MISS YOU SO MUCH GURLIE!

Tomorrow should be a good day... Girl's hangout/relaxation day with Megan! I can't wait!

First Post

I loved my livejournal... I still do. I will continue to update that, but... I want an area where I can have some music to it, ya know? Xanga doesn't seem to be able to do that anymore either... Yep, I still update my xanga from time to time too... haha...

I have too much stuff... xanga, livejournal, myspace, facebook, now THIS. But maybe this will end up like my little livejournal, which I have kept since the age of 12. We'll see.

Sooo... First few days of summer... I'm LOVIN' IT. I've spent the time catching up on my video games, my shows, my friends of Fay... and not a single thing with schoolwork. AWESOME.

Sadly, I have to go back to school next Saturday for summer session. Grr. My summer's gonna be put on hold for about a month. My shopping will be put on hold too, because I just feel TOO GUILTY shopping when I have to pay almost $2000 for ONE FREAKIN' MONTH OF SUMMER SCHOOL. Gotta keep telling myself that I gotta get straight A's during this summer... as embarrasing as it is to say, that's how I pay my father back for his investment in my education. He puts so much money in only so I can succeed. That's the least I can do, since I don't have a job yet... Next summer, hopefully my internship will pay for part of my schooling!

But yeah... After summer session, it's OFF TO CHINA BABY! HELLZ YEAHH!!

much <3,
