Maybe the fact that we hate each other is because we still love each other.

 

Day 47: Whatever tickles your fancy

Ignorant men don't know what good they hold in their hands until they've flung it away.

the little things…

Day 46: Photos of personal things in your life (pets, family, house, etc)

Most recent family pic even though this is outdated now. I have a new nephew as of two days ago haha.

That’s a picture of my house…by the way, I stole this picture from Google Maps. Sketchiest thing ever that they can put my house on the internet for all to see but I figured since it’s already there might as well use the same one for my blog hahaha.

My puppy Noodle.

My best friend/sister Katy who decided to photo bomb me in front of one of the pyramids of Giza. Hahahah.

everyone deserves a second chance, but not a third.

Day 45: A letter to yourself a year ago

Dear Sammy,

There are so many things that I should warn you about. You are almost done with your first semester of college. I think it went pretty well, don’t you? I should tell you that you are going to get the H out of Logan so don’t worry about that. There’s a few boys I should warn you about. I can’t name them by name here but you’re going to get hurt by the end of January so don’t invest yourself too much yet. Also, in the summer time you’ll fall in love. I don’t want to really tell you too much about that because honestly I’m not sure there’s much you can do to prevent the outcome. You also shouldn’t avoid this relationship. It was beautiful while it lasted and I don’t regret it at all, so just look forward to it and love the boy with the caramel skin and warm eyes for as long as you can. Remember everything, take lots of pictures, laugh as much as possible, don’t stress too much, and be impulsive.

Love,

Sammy

Last final tomorrow morning. Kinda scared but mostly excited. Can’t wait for break!

Tuesday, December 14, 2010

you have no right to say a single word about me, my choices, or the past few months. you weren’t the one who got your heart broken.


Day 44: Something that fascinates you and why

That people can understand math and actually figure out and discover this crap. I mean, really? I definitely admire them though and am glad they exist because otherwise the world would be screwed.

Also, I don’t understand how no matter what the girl always ends up being the b*tch in a break up. I didn’t do anythinggg. Especially because everyone knows how much I love you and would do anything for you but you just sulk alone and call names.

when a man grows tired of london, he grows tired of life

Day 43: A picture of your favorite place in the world

thames-skyline-canvas-14416-1487_zoom

I have done a fair amount of traveling in my 19 years on earth and of the countries I’ve been to and states I’ve visited London is by far my all-time favorite place in the world.

I have been there three times in my life and it is not nearly enough. I definitely want to live there at some point. It is perfection.

damaged people are dangerous because they know they can survive.

Day 42: A letter to a deceased person you wish you could talk to or someone you've lost in another way

I’ve been really fortunate in that I haven’t lost anyone close to me to death yet. I actually am terrified for when it finally happens because I know it’s inevitable and I can’t believe I’ve made it 19 years without losing someone. But then I realize that I have actually lost many people that are close to me, only in ways other than death. I don’t really feel like writing a letter to any of those people though. I feel like the main ones that still hurt me I’ve already written letters to here and I don’t really want to take up more space at this moment dwelling on it. Not here.

It’s finals week and I have two big finals to study for.

I was quite worried about math, but I don’t think it’ll be as bad as I think anymore. Now only to worry about my science one. Bleh. I hope you all ace your finals as well.

Saturday, December 11, 2010

how many times can I break til I shatter?

Day 40: Bad habit(s) you have

Failing at updating my blog…hahaha jk

Procrastination, for sure. Still loving guys that I should be over. Picking off my nail polish. Spending money on food especially sushi. Facebooking.

Probably more I just can’t think.

I’m getting sushi with my favorite boy Max tonight so I am super stoked.

true taurean girl

Supppp. So I’m a failure again so you’re getting double again. I think I should just start doubling up on these so I can be done haha.

Day 38: A photo of your parent(s)

That’s my favorite picture of my parents because I think it explains me so well hahahah.

Day 39: Zodiac sign and do you think it fits your personality

Taurus is the sign of practicality and possessions. People born under the sign of Taurus tend to be very patient, practical and dedicated people. Such people are usually very cautious when dealing with people, life and money. They have a curious power of dominating others, even when not conscious of trying to do so.
People who were born in that time are extremely faithful, with a strong need for security and a settled routine. Although they are very earthy, they can also be highly romantic and sensitive when it comes to love. They are a very sensual and particularly enjoy the physical touch pleasures of hugging, cuddling, and massages.
They have great power of endurance, both physical and mental, and can pass through enormous strains of fatigue as long as the excitement or determination lasts.
A Taurus is an excellent friend. Taurus has few close friends as opposed to many acquaintances. The few people they hold dear to them are guarded and protected. Their friends are treated like family and they are fiercely loyal and dependable. Although not a total social butterfly, they can be shy around strangers, the people who Taurus let into their lives are lavishly catered to when Taurus decides to throw a party, they decorate and present everything lavishly. They make wonderful hosts and hostesses, and have great taste about food, and in the management of their houses they can make much out of little. Taurus will always pamper themselves and their close group of friends.
These people often become excellent directors, have good business intuition, but are generally considered richer than they really are, as they always dress well and look well.
They are governed by their sensations and by their loving nature, but affection has a greater hold on them than passion. Such people are also warm and sensual, with an appreciation of the fine things in life. Taurus is motivated by a need for security; this sign is good for business matters and can be trusted to carry things through with absolute care. These people are very strong-willed and often quite creative. The Moon is exalted in Taurus, giving success with matters to do with the public and, combined with the influence of Venus, a passionate nature endowed with a strong sense of loyalty and fidelity. They are kind and generous with friends, with whom they develop an unspoken rapport.
Taurus are the great procrastinators of the zodiac. This is usually due to laziness but others rarely see this laziness.
If they love, they are generous to the last degree, and will consider no sacrifice too great for the person they care for; if they are enemies, they will fight with the most determined obstinacy. But they always fight in the open, for they hate trickiness, double-dealing, or deceit.
They are easily influenced by their surroundings, and become morbid and morose when trying to live under uncongenial conditions.
They are also too easily misled by their emotions, sensations, or affections.
As a rule both sexes are jealous in their disposition, and their jealousy often drives them into acts of violence or sudden exhibition of temper, which they bitterly regret when the storm is over.
They are at their best are typically strong and silent, but often appear ignorant and willfully obstinate to others.
They have an innate sense of harmony, rhythm and color, and often are very successful in music, poetry and art. Many of them have beautiful singing voices or at least speaking voices. Many times, they have some kind of musical talent and a solid musical ear. Those born in this sign have an ability to become the most faithful, loyal friends. They also make good, patient nurses and healers, and almost all have a keen love of gardening and flowers.

Wow…I don’t know if anyone is still reading haha but I pretty much completely agree with my horoscope sign. I really feel like I possess almost all those qualities to a T. It’s crazy how they can be so spot on about things haha but I guess they’re designed to do that eh?

Anyway, if you’re still with me thanks for reading all that haha and I will try to get back into the swing of things with this thing.

Day 37: What feature do you get complimented on the most?

My eyes or my smile. Or of course, clothes.

Sorry I have been failing at the blog challenge. Finals have been intense but things are settling down now that I am done with two of my classes. I have one test tomorrow and two next week so I'm thinking I won't be slacking on this challenge anymore. Haha I love how I picked such a long challenge. It really is getting me in the habit of writing on here more. I feel really terrible when I don't update even though no one really cares haha.

Anyway,
I am exhausted from writing two papers last night so I'm gonna peace out of here but please keep reading my stuff. I promise I'll try to be more interesting and what not ha.
Day 36: A photo of your car

Well, I actually have two cars and both of them are MIA so I can't really post the actual pictures of them but I'll find some online.


Meet Skippyjon Jones. Usually just referred to as Skippy. Skippy is a 2009 Subaru Forester. Skippy is my bff. We have been through a lot together hahaha. I missed him all year last year and I am so grateful for him.

This is my new car! He's a babe. Katy and I have named him T-Pain officially but it is still up for debate. T-Pain is a 2010 Honda Civic. I haven't driven T-Pain in a few weeks because my brother and sister-in-law are in town from Egypt for a few months so they are currently in possession.

So, I'm terribly sorry I couldn't provide actual pictures of my cars but that's the way it is I guess. Also, both cars have dragons hanging from the rear view mirror. Ha.

every time we touch

Alright, it's time for some catch-up. I'm gonna post all of these separately sooo just read them all haha.

Day 35: A letter to an ex
Day 36: A photo of your car
Day 37: What feature do you get complimented on the most?

Day 35: A letter to an ex

Dear ex,
It's been a long time since we dated. Almost 5 years. I can't believe the time has passed that quickly. You were the first boy I ever kissed. The first boy that I ever fully gave my heart away to. Our relationship was pretty flawed but it is still something that I think about fondly even though it ended in a completely hurtful way. I wish we could've left things between us in a better way. I was just too in love with you to settle for just being friends and we were both so young. I kick myself now for missing these years that we could've been best friends like we were before but I guess that's just life sometimes. I'm thankful for the friendship that we have now but I think I'll always wonder how different things could be.
Love,
Sammy

Day 34: Your favorite quote

Ha. Favorite quote. I don’t think you understand that I have tons and tons of word documents full of quotes saved on my laptop.

So I’ll just pick a couple that I like in particular for this day…

"the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones
who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved,
desirous of everything at the same time, the ones
who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but
burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles
exploding like spiders across the stars."
-Jack Kerouac

I told you I'd leave a light on in case you ever wanted to come back home. You smiled and said you appreciate the gesture. I took your every word to heart cause I can't stand us being apart. And just to show you how much I really miss you, every light in the house is on. The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn. The front walk looks like runway lights. It's kind of like noon in the dead of night. Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone, every light in the house is on.

In other news,

Tree delivery went extremely well today. The fastest it’s ever gone and the easiest. Also first year I’ve done it without Isaac which was really annoying and weird but it’s fiiiine.

pinecones and holly berries.

Day 33: What you’re craving right now

Hahaha honestly, I'm almost always craving the same thing.

Sushi.

Seriously...it's bad haha.

But I'm about to embark upon my intense two day volunteering for Festival of Trees.

Not really but this is probably my 5th year of bagging trees Saturday night and then delivering trees on Sunday morning sooo it'll be a blast. I'm very excited. Nothing says Christmas more than volunteering for Festival.

Love you all.

Day 31: Favorite books

z122065030

The Perks of Being a Wallflower has been my favorite book since 8th grade when my good friend Kaylee recommended it to me. I don’t really want this to turn into a book review because you could type the title of the book into Google and achieve the same effect so I’ll leave you with this. This book is incredible. I am 100% sure anyone can relate to it to some extent and I think that is why it’s so powerful.

Also, they’re turning it into a movie and I am livid. I don’t think I’m ever gonna get over it. I really believe this book is not one you can turn into a movie, but I digress.

Just read it if you haven’t.

i rather enjoy icicles

Day 29 Provide the HEX code of your favorite color /http://www.febooti.com/products/iezoom/online-help/online-color-chart-picker.html

FB0073

I don't really get why that was important or relevant because you can't really see the color or anything but whatever hahaha.

Tonight was the opening night auction for Festival of Trees. I don't think many of you know but Festival of Trees is kind of a huge deal in my life. First I'll explain what it is though. Basically there are hundreds of Christmas trees that are all decorated and donated to this one event and then auctioned off and all the proceeds go to Primary Children's Medical Center. My mom has been involved in this charity for 15 years I believe and served as the chairwoman for 3 years. Needless to say this has always been a huge part of my Christmas and my mom is involved with it all year long. Also telethon in June but that is another story.

So anyway opening night was tonight and it was my first time going because you have to be at least 16 to go and while I've reached that requirement years ago my little sister hadn't until this year. So that was a lot of fun. It's nice to get all dressed up and go somewhere like that haha. I really enjoyed it. Also saw Mr. Odom hahaha flashback to middle school. He was the principal there for those who don't know.

Anyway, I think that's all for tonight.

Monday, November 29, 2010

I go back to December all the time.

So I know I skipped on Saturday to write about the Holy War and then I didn’t write at all yesterday so I have pretty much failed at my blog challenge. I think I was subconsciously (and consciously) avoiding today’s or yesterday’s topic…

Day 28: Your first kiss

It’s not that I am ashamed of my first kiss. It wasn’t some kind of cheesy dare or a throw away first kiss that happened in 2nd grade. It was something that I felt like I held out for. If I could describe it in one word I guess it would be…controversial. Which is probably not a good adjective of what a first kiss should be. In my point of view it was the kind of a event that people write songs, books, and movies about. I myself was actually writing a book about it. Maybe not just the first kiss but the boy it was with as well as the aftermath and the boys who came after.

In the smallest of details my first kiss happened at the age of 14. It was the end of February and there was a boy that I really really liked. He lived across the street from me. We met in the middle of our circle one night and that’s how it happened.

It doesn’t seem like much but it changed everything.
