bye, for now.

i'm not going to be posting on here for a while...
there are a couple reasons for this.

one. i know if i do post anything, i may feel bad about it later. not that i'll regret it. i don't believe in regrets.
two. everything is fucked up right now. so my mind is else where.
three. no one reads this anyway, so why would it even matter?

i might post again to say how my bucket list turned out.... but then again, we'll see.

tata, boys and girls.

bucket list: day 8

It's been just over a week with this bucket list!

First off, I've already finished a couple things, and am in the process of finishing others.  I have mailed a letter through snail mail, but it was for a company, so I'm going to do another one... probably for mother's day since it's around the corner.  Also, I have broke a law, but nothing extravagant enough for my liking! I'll find something better to do. I have an idea that would be awesome. I have finished one of my books so far, Hate List, and am almost finished my second, Living Dead Girl, which isn't a very long book but awesome so far. I have started watching "Weeds" from beginning to be my tv show marathon from A to Z... not even through the first season yet, but I have plenty of time! I'm slowly getting into better shape, biking places whenever I can and doing my best to choose water over pop and things like that; it's hard but I'm slowly doing it.

Sadly, after only a couple days of taking photos each day, my camera broke!! :(
So until I get a camera to take photos with, or have some other clever alternative, I'm going to upload photos that remind of of my day or something that happened... so here are the photos from the last eight days, including today, in order.

I can definitely say that these stupid photos will not line up the way I want them to! But oh well.... what you gonna do?

8 days down, 92 left to go.

AND LET IT BEGIN!

It's arrived worms and germs, the first day of my bucket list! :)

I'm definitely starting right away, at least with the easy stuff like taking my photo a day and reading my books... good thing I just bought a whole bunch from amazon!

I'm excited for this list to start, and I hope it doesn't disappoint.

I will be checking in with what's happening every couple days or week, posting my photos and what I've accomplished.

READY, SET, GOOOOOOOOOOOO!

p.s. I got my second job yesterday too! I'm a server at Kelsey's now. SO STOKED!

ponder...

ever thought that you made a huge mistake, but you never realized it until now? and the worse part is, you can't do anything to change it? all because it's too late to make it right...?

my life has made me ponder on sleepless nights like last night, and i sometimes think i did such a thing.

i dislike my indecisive qualities.

it makes me question my decisions that at one point was exactly what i wanted.

sigh.

dealing with a life in shambles.

you could say i have a knack for having my life in shambles, seeing that it never feels like it ends in my little world. every time i feel as though i patch a crack in the pavement on my sanity, life does a 360 and shambles it up all over again. thankfully, i have figured out a way to patch the cracks quite nicely.

obviously you gotta just tell yourself "this SUCKS right now" and not waste your time pretending to be happy. act sad when you're sad and happy when you're happy... you don't wanna wallow in your sulky feelings, but tell yourself it exists so you can move on. the best way to do that is to remember who you actually are and who you were. reclaim all those things near and dear to your heart and stand up, proud, of being.... YOU!

once you settle all of that, you can try to clean things up by scheduling yourself (strictly or not), reaching out to those you love you can help you get over your hurdles, and fix all the problems. try to fix the most stressful things first, so everything else feels that much easier and less crazy.

help someone else, try new things,  take care of your inside and your out, and don't run your mouth about the person or situation that's shambling your brain! worse comes to worst, look into the future and see that what's turning everything upside down is most likely a small hiccup in your crazy life.

wishing back my childhood.

ice cream competitions to see who has the most rolos in their ice cream cone.
competing for the better position at work.

building a fort out of nothing but blankets, pillows, and couch cushions.
stepping into your first apartment.

trying to catch fireflies in a mason jar in the middle of the night.
going out to the best club/bar in town.

staying up all night to watch your favourite tv show.
staying up all night to finish your twelve page paper, due in six hours.

working hard at school to make your parents proud.
working hard at school to keep your scholarship.

calling everyone in your class your friends.
joining a sorority and making a whole new group of life-long friends.

fighting with someone for cheating at tag.
getting into a fight with your significant other for god knows why.

watching the clock, just waiting for recess to start.
staring at the clock, waiting to get home, and maybe take a nap. 

eating so much candy that your tongue is multi-coloured and your cheeks ache.
...... well, some things never change. <3
