amazing beautiful funny honest perfect. 

"Okay, right. Well, I'm a little relieved."

"Why?"

"Well because I thought it would be something worse."

"Worse than the total agony of being in love?"

rain rain rain

One of my favorite things about the rain is finding pictures to

 post here to inform the world that it is in fact raining. 

sick

The only good thing about being sick is that I have watched so many incredible movies!

Nowhere Boy (Aaron Johnson, please marry me.)

An Education (A truely beautiful film, even though I was

 slightly uncomfortable the whole time I was watching

 it. If you ever have the chance, and you haven't 

seen it already, watch it!)

Despicable Me (Loved it! That might be because I am

sick, but I don't think so.)

How To Train Your Dragon (Oh my goodness! I cannot

believe I didn't see this earlier! So cute, so fun, so good. )

....and I've seen some pretty bad ones too...

We are ghosts until the we live in the moment.

mother and child

I laughed a little when I saw this...  

but really,  it makes me want to become a vegetarian.

I'm in love

I took this off for a couple hours, but then I realized that regardless of whether or not this is blog appropriate, it is definitely something I want to look back on, so I'm leaving it! 

Hope you don't mind ;)

Great coffee house concert!

We made over 1,000 dollars. So yeah I'd call that a success. 

3 love songs

st. valentine

Today was a great day, considering it was a reminder of my perpetual singleness. 

But honestly, I didn't feel sad at all. 

(minus that one part when I cried because I saw an old man by himself at Sweet Rose, which made me think about being old and alone, which then made me think about being in love with someone who has dementia.... don't ask.)

I love my friends and I love my family. I know that I have people in my life who will always support me and love me simply because I am me. 

Anyways, I've been collecting quotes, which, at least in my opinion, define what I imagine love to be. 

“Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies." - Aristotle   (the myth says that when humans were first made, they were whole - one soul, one entity. Zeus, however, feared humans were becoming too strong, so he split them in two. Now we spend our lives looking for our other half.)  

"True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart." -Honore de Balzac

 "Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul." - St. Augustine

"The more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite." - William Shakespeare

"Two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one." - 

John Keats

"If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my garden forever." -Alfred Lord Tennyson 

 "When you are in love you can't fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams."-Dr Seuss

Happy Valentine's day! 

oh and...

IM DONE IM DONE IM DONE IM DONE IM DONE.

im sooo happy right now.

1st grade poems.

"The trees are green
  The birds do sing
  The hills with joy are echoing."

"Litte brown eyes and quick scampering feet,

  Field mouse is looking for something to eat.

Rabbits are playing about on the grass,

  Flashing their fluffy white tails as they pas."

"Deep in the forest
  Dark is the night
  But low in the sky
  I see a bright light
  Run little shadows
  Swiftly away
  The bright morning star
  Is calling the day"

"High on the hill and low on the plain

The warm golden sun will soon come again

Shadows run quickly, run while you may.

The bright morning star has called to the day." 

I cannot believe I wrote these when I was in first grade. 

What the hell happened?!?

oh blaine.

I usually think of valentines day as a really depressing day, but its not. Its more than writing cheesy messages and buying boxes of chocolates. Its a celebration of love. Love for whatever it is that makes me smile, that makes me forget the stress, that makes me cry, laugh.

Besides... this is my year. I can feel it. 

almost there

One more test, two more days and then .... drumroll... I'm a second semester senior!

I can't believe that I've spent the last 11 years of my life waiting to get to where I am right now.
I'm almost there, but it still hasn't hit me.
Goodness.

(oh and I'm pretty sure I'm immune to senioritis)
