Day 16: someone you trust

My bestfriend: Bisael
My mother <3
My boyfriend

Day 14: write about something you believe in, anything at all

I believe in nice people. I believe in kind souls. I believe in God the Father, Creator of Heaven and Earth, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, and that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal, everlasting life. I believe in love. I believe in love at first sight. I believe in myself (most of the time, if not usually, if not at least sometimes). I believe in fairytales. I believe in Disney and don't think they messed up any child's mind at all by pretending that reality is something it's not. I believe in my friends, my boyfriend, my family, and all people (most of the time, if not usually). I believe in cute dogs. And I believe in my capabilities. I believe in soul mates. I believe in belief and faith. I believe in MUSIC. I believe in my mind (most of the time, if not usually). I believe in MY WRITING. <3 I believe in a lot of things, to put it simply and inexplicably unsimply. <3

Day 12: the best advice you’ve ever heard, or ever been given

lol so I'm going to start this again XD
It's summer and I haven't done this since before Christmas break.

This quote: "People are going to want you, need you, exceed you, take you, play you, rate you, and break you, but that's what makes you."
From my friend Benji: To stay positive and that things are going to be okay.
From tumblr: To never start cutting because it's extremely hard to stop.
From karate: Quitters never win and winners never quit.
From tumblr and other inspirations: To never judge other people by what they do or say or how they seem. To never be mean for no reason because it just hurts and no good comes out of it. To never tell somebody to "go and die" because they might actually do it. To always be there for people, especially yourself.

Okay So OBVIOUSLY

I have obviously not done well AT ALL with keeping up with this 365 day challenge.

Seems it's just not for me.

now, don't get me wrong. I am totally finishing it.
Just not in 365 days probably -- LOL.

But issa okay. Y'all know me. I do things a little differently :))

Luv, peachz, chick grease, 3wigs. rock on fioozsh. <333

12/29/11 • Day 11: the worst advice you've ever heard or been given

Been Given: "Life sucks and then you die."

Ever Heard: Probably anything that the villain told the protagonist on any Disney movie/show. :) i can't think of one right now, but .... I might think of it.

12/28/11 • Day 10: what you think when you hear the words "be yourself"

Mom
me
you have to work for it sometimes
but, actually, you really don't
but I guess you might have to
it's hard...
...to not succumb to peer pressure sometimes
"People want you, need you, exceed you, take you, play you, rate you, and break you, but that's what makes you." -Anonymous

fashion. how I dress.
what i do exemplifies it more.

And, most importantly:

I can't be anything except be myself. Even if I try to be somebody else, I'm still myself...just trying to be someone else. I can't change me. I'm always me. Even if my habits change, even if I look different, or EVEN if I get a different name. I'm still me. Even if I get different values and my whole perspective on life changes drastically...I'm still me, I've just changed. But no one can take you being you away from you. You being you is not a tangible substance that one can hold for ransom [oh my gosh! i've gotta write story about that! lol], but the system of being, the fact of your soul being in you and around you. The glue that holds you together, but is somehow also simply a part of you. One cannot grab your thoughts and keep them away from you, no? No. They cannot. They cannot grab your soul by its ears and pull it away, can they? No. No one can.
It's the same thing. No one can take you away from you. You either have you, or you don't.

Yes, people can make you crazy so you don't have control over yourself, but that's not my point.

There is a fine line between being crazy like that and simply not having yourself. If you don't have yourself, you're dead.

But no one can make you die by taking you away from yourself. That's only in movies. Really....really fictional movies.

Oh, and this goes for you too, in case you didn't notice.

My new favorite doctor (that I don't have): Marc Lamont Hill p.H.D
He's funny and I'd love to have him as a teacher. :)))

Also, I'm putting my challenge on hold for exam week. So I'll see you back looking at that the next time I can/in approximately two weeks! <3

<3. Peaches. Chicken greases. Rock on foozsh. Three words girls...<3

12/2/11 (it's really 12/5/11 hahaha a....whoops) • Day 6(ohmigoshwhatajoke): something you would like to change about yourself.

I would like to stop being affected by Dermatillomania by next year.
(so I can make my chapel talk on it. It'll be scary if I do [make the chapel talk] because of all the judging that will be in people's heads [people like pretty, nice girls and guys who hardly know me but then won't make an effort]).

I would like to smile more

And

I would like to slouch less.

I am not smiling right now
And

I am slouching.
So here you go. I've got my work all cut out for me. (that and the fact that I have to catch up on my challenge thing lol)

11/30/11 (actually done on 12/1/11. Sorry. I do have homework, you know. But now I get to do TWO at ONCE! YAY!) • Day 4: how you think your life would change if you achieved your dream

If I achieved my dream of becoming a published author (and my ultimate dream of becoming a (at least fairly) well-known published author...well....

*My family would have a larger income
*It would let my mom and dad be less stressed
*Maybe I would have to grow up a little more. But, no it wouldn't keep me from being a kid. I'm a total kid. :)
...that sounds funny. Like, I'm a LEGIT KID. Noooo waayyyy....!!!
*I wouldn't be in so much denial about the fact that I might have to leave this house that I am sitting in right now that is 99% of all I remember. Or 98% because I can't exactly discern my earliest memories from what was in this house and what was in the house I lived in until I was two years old. ..hmmm... I always forget that I wasn't brought here first after I was born.
*I would be famous, first of all! And that would have its pros and cons, of course.
*I probably wouldn't be hammered too much by the paparazzi like celebrities...but I might still get people to ask for my autograph (if they recognize me LOL)

...
...


Okay. I really don't want to graduate from high school without finishing one of my stories. At least ONE!
...
...
I have GOT to work on them. At least in the summer. If I decide to write on Jodi...you can check here at this big long link of ten words now.

Anyways...that's all..for this one at least. :)
Now I just want to be done so I can work on Jodi (I can't find Finn. Big. Surprise).
And I have to go eat.
And do my homework.
But oh well..

:D
Day in the life.

11/29/11 • Day 3: what you think your reason for being here is

I think my reason for being here is to live the life I have imagined.

It is to follow my dreams, and not only follow them..but to be a certain "some people":

 Some people follow their dreams, others hunt them down and beat them mercilessly into submission.   Kendall, Neil


I am here to spread the Glory of God through my actions, words, and decisions. I am to be a messenger, server, and caregiver in the name of God. And I am. It is how, who, and why I am.


I am here to float my own boat while I still have a boat to float.
I only get to live once, I am scared of dying, I see no way for me to get past that...but I think I live to not be afraid of dying.

I am on Earth because this is where I was placed.
I feel I am here to spread joy and love and FEELINGS. All feeling. All of them.

I am here to spread the news of my Creator, of my life, of my learnings and teachings (from me but mostly other people ^_^), of my dreams, of my passions, of my loves, and of my everythings and everything elses.

I am here for you. I am here for me. I am here for the world.
I am here to leave a mark. At least...leaving a mark is what I hope I'm here for.

Personally, I believe my ultimate reason for being here is because God wants me here. If God didn't want me here, He wouldn't have made me here, He wouldn't have placed me here, and I just wouldn't be here. Simple as that.

I am here to live my own life.

11/28/11 (finished 11/29/11) • Day 2: something that's illegal but you think it should be legal

Ummm... I'm really not sure. They should definitely KEEP marijuana ILLEGAL. Some people will get it no matter what, but if it's illegal, less people can get to it.

Noow...for the question at hand...

I had to research a little ^__^

(   http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060907204018AA9fSUz    )

"Joe K" on answers.yahoo.com answered, "It is illegal to work 'off the clock' (voluntarily or not) if you are an hourly employee even though it might be the ethical thing to do in order to help the company progress forward."


I think that should be legal if it's voluntarily. Plus, what if it's, like, a small business or something? That would be really important! 

11/27/11 • Day 1: hopes, dreams, and plans for the next 365 days with a picture of yourself

I hope: To stop tearing at my nails and the skin around my nails. To let my nails grow out. That I'll let my friend who won't be with us next year (going to a Carolina I think?) know exactly how much he means to me (THAT'S A LOT [CA.DB. or Sherlock or Holmes?]. To finish one of my stories. To win a prize from all those sweepstakes I enter. To get more money. To at least almost have a boyfriend lol (only a part of me). To meet a huge role model (anyone). To see Landon McIntyre again
TBC

...continuing...from tumblr to blogger :)

So all of the above...plus,

I hope: To fix my dermatillomania. That all my friends will know that I really do care about them. To stop feeling so stressed. To waste my time a lot less :))).

I dream: Of having a boyfriend (only a part of me, again ^_^). Of meeting my role models. Of singing in front of large crowds. Of going to Snowmass, Colorado...I miss it soo much....  .  In color. Of meeting and spending a day with the Harry Potter cast. Of wonderful things and places where the only real fear is the adventure out of books that can be beat by the will of the good in around typically 300 pages. Of starring in a movie. Of meeting all my Disney role models...and singing with them...

I plan: To sell something to get money to help my family/to make me happy. To stop the peeling-feeling. To get good grades on my midterms and final exams. To go to Italy and Spain this summer with SeñorB, The Worm, Scarbs, SñradiffB, a couple other teachers...and all those other people. To find a mission trip to go on. To wing it.

You know me. I won't give you my face :) I promise I'm smiling.
