Hi :/

I feel so horrible, you have no idea, for not posting more this summer. Like seriously, I feel all sheepish typing this right now. So I'd just like to say I'm sorry, y'all <3.

I haven't been up to much lately. Well, that's not entirely true...I went to New Mexico about two weeks ago and it was so much fun! I didn't want to go home, I love NM too much. Also I've been remodeling my room: different color walls, new bed/mattress, new desk, new window shade, a lamp above my bed for better reading, etc. It's about time, too; my room hadn't been seriously redecorated since maybe my eleventh birthday.

My braces still haven't come off. Doctor Collins promises that the top braces (maybe even bottom too, if I'm lucky) will be taken off on September 20, so yayyy.

Oh yeah! And my aunt is getting remarried and guess who's the maid of honor? ME!

School starts next Monday. We had orientation yesterday and I met two of our transfer students! One of them and I hit it off right off the bat; she's basically my twin. New best friend, perhaps? (What am I saying...all of my friends are my best friends. So I guess I don't have one, except David.)

I love unique, indie stuff! I really like shopping for clothes that you can't find anywhere else, mostly on www.modcloth.com. And I occasionally listen to indie bands like Walk Off The Earth. No, I am NOT a hipster. I'm just different.

I LOVE country music. I'm not exactly sure why, but I do.


I'm sorry for not posting in a while. I don't have much to post about anymore.

Today was my first day of work! I worked for about 4 hours today and it was slow going, we're usually not very busy on weekdays. But it was still fun. We have good music playing where I work, and free A/C (except I was outside for a long while, pricing yard art and stuff).

I am allergic to just about everything. Seriously. I'm on shots to help immunize me of my allergies, but sometimes they're just so bad I might as well not even have taken my medicine. Like today. I can hardly think, my brain is so muddled with whatever the heck is in there. Maybe I'll go take a nap.


I'm apparently starting my new job tomorrow after VBS! Yay! Except I might not if I feel as bad as I do right now.

I have a headache today. I think it's just sugar-induced, since I had a lot of sweets this morning at VBS. We were icing all the cupcakes this morning, all 29 dozen, and we were allowed to lick any icing that got on our hands off. Plus there was a lot of excess once we'd finished, so we transferred the rest of it into another bowl for the teen volunteers' snack table so they (and we) could dip pretzel sticks into the icing.

Another cause of my headache might be this kid named Cameron. He's so cute but he's mean to the rest of the kids in his group; he always hits them during snack time and their group leader likes to hide back in the little break room until it's time to leave. Just today Aidan came up to me and he told me that Cameron had hit him five times, but when I told him to apologize to Aidan he just said "I didn't hit him, he's lying," like all kids who get in trouble do. Later on I saw him hit Aidan again, and I told him that I'd seen and that he needed to apologize but he denied it again, which led to a big argument between them. 

Today was not my day :( but there's only two days left and I need the service hours. 

Random Truths are Back, Y'all :)

Wellllllll.......I'm going to do random truths again now as a way to get myself back in the swing of blogging daily. And since I've lost count of how many I actually have so far, we'll start at a random number, but not really that random if you're a die-hard Harry Potter fan like me.

RT #394: I am obsessed with gum. It's true. I can't get enough of it; whenever I actually have a pack (which isn't too often since I run out in 2 days tops) I chew around 5 pieces a day. My orthodontist says I'm not actually supposed to chew it since it could get caught in my braces, but I've "forgotten" about that rule. 

#395: I'm a Hufflepuff! My old Pottermore account got messed up somehow, so I had to start over and make a new one. I hadn't yet gotten to the Sorting Hat on my old account, so I was sorted today for the first time. I'm a Hufflepuff, as I had hoped! People think Hufflepuff is the least clever house, but the truth is we have awesome witches and wizards, we just don't brag about it like the other houses. Quietly brilliant, we are. I find this kind of foreshadowed, my being sorted to Hufflepuff, since you'll remember that the short story I posted had a character who also was a Hufflepuff. See, Esther is based on myself!

This isn't really a RT since it's not really a personal fact about me, but I'm volunteering allllll this week at my parish's Vacation Bible School in the snacks department, which is right up my alley. Monday's snack were these little Fig Newton Bibles which were really fun to make (my friend Sarah and I were in charge of piping the crosses on top out of vanilla icing)! Today's snack was a St. Jerome's Cave, which in reality is a waffle cone filled with freshly popped popcorn, mini marshmallows, M&Ms, raisins, and Cheerios. We also baked 350 cupcakes for tomorrow so they'll be cool enough to ice in the morning.
