My Rollercoaster

I'm going through this thing right now... but this song is kind of how I feel right now.

My Rollercoaster - Kimya Dawsen

You were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday
It seemed as if perhaps I'd gone insane
What is it about you that has commandeered my brain?
Maybe it's your awesome songs or maybe it's the way
When I look at your face I can tell that you're not going to be stopping soon or even slowing down
And if we keep up this pace pretty soon we'll know the name of every kid and every grown up booking house shows in their town

And if home is really where the heart is
Then wer're the smartest kids I know
Because wherever we are in this great big world
We'll never be more than a few hours from home
And that's important because I need to travel
I've had this itchin in my shoes since I was just a little kid
And before I had a mini van I road the Greyhound bus
My mom would say "I hope some day you get paid for being Kimya Dawson"

And now I do and it's not much
But it's enough
I've got my Scrabble game, food on my plate, good friends and family
And now there's you understanding why I do the things I do
Knowing that you do them too makes me really happy

On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again

On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again

From a distance, the world looks blue and green
And the snow capped mountains white
From a distance, the ocean meets the stream
And the eagle takes to flight
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/kimya_dawson/my_rollercoaster.html ]
(whispering)
Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be do do do do do do
I'll be the greatest man of your life

'cause I like going for hikes and riding bikes
And playing video games in the middle of the night
And I'll stay up late and I wont even care
That we're getting up early to go to the state fair
I'm gonna ride the biggest ride it'll be out of sight
Then I'll share an elephant ear with you if you'd like
Because we are alive so we've gotta live life
To the fullest you spin the bottle and I'll dim the lights
Four five six seven minutes in the closet

You were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday
It seemed as if perhaps I'd gone insane
What is it about you that has commandeered my brain?
Maybe it's your awesome songs or maybe it's the way
You go straight to the top you're not scared of getting squashed
You know just when to jump off
You're so brave
And then you run to the right it seems there's no hope in sight
And you drop down to the tube that takes you right to level eight

Life is a highway and I'm gonna ride it
Every day's a winding road yeah
My rollercoaster's got the biggest ups and downs
As long as it keeps goin' round it's unbelievable.

Life is a highway and I'm gonna ride it
Every day's a winding road yeah
My rollercoaster's got the biggest ups and downs
As long as it keeps goin' round it's unbelievable.

Yeah, I'm a Nerd..

Recently, John convinced me to join him in playing Runescape online.. I didn't think I would be so addicted lol.

I forgot how awesome playing games could be. It used to be huge in my life in elementary and middle school. Kind of a stress reliever.

Happy Birthday John :)

Happy 19th Birthday
to my amazing boyfriend and best friend
who loves and cares about me, and is patient with whatever it is that I through at him. He's always been there for me and I couldn't ask for someone who is as playful and sweet as he is.
I'm so glad that I was able to make today really special for him. I think we had a lot of fun :)

Winter Is Weird

A pretty big blizzard blew in last night. This is the most winter we've had all season. Dance got cancelled last night, and we had a snow day from school today and no dance again tonight.. It's kind of weird. I haven't really had a whole day of nothing for a long time. Very weird.
But my awesome John brought me a full breakfast from IHOP this morning. Chocolate chip pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, breakfast ham, and hash browns :) I'm pretty sure he's a good one.
I also started back up on my knitting the other day while trying to watch episodes of Glee that I am way behind on. I was knitting while waiting for them to load online, but let's say that more knitting got done than watching. I think I need to find another way to watch missed episodes. Maybe I'll be able to watch them on my Kindle Fire when I finally purchase it, even though I'll probably have to buy them.. Oh well.

AND raspberry cheesecake cookies are FINALLY back at Subway! They're soooo good.

My Body Hurts and I Made a Teapot

I've been making a teapot in my pottery class and it's kind of been kicking my ass. I had to throw the pot on the wheel, the spout, and the lid. It's been interesting... But I'm finally done. Almost. I have the spout and the handle attached, and now I just need to carve out the top of my lid since it was thrown upside down and then shave some off of the lip so it actually fits on my piece. I'm so relieved this thing is finally over with. It was stressing me out so badly. I also accomplished putting a handle on the pitcher I made yesterday so that was pretty cool too.

My other rant is that I am completely stiff and sore from this past week. I was standing at work for all that time this weekend and then I danced my butt off Tuesday and Wednesday.. Literally. We did these butt exercises that totally made my muscles scream.. My legs are absolutely killing me, and my arms don't feel so hot either.. I just keep telling myself "beach body!" because I will have one by the time I go to Cancun. I have some killer bruises on my knees and feet.. but I guess I can say that I earned those.

That's the end of my frustrations. For now anyway.

New Little Baby

This is Sofi :)


She is John's birthday present from me :) (even though his birthday isn't until March 8). He got to bring her home on Friday since she didn't need to be dewormed and we have been spending much time playing. Tyler didn't get to take the puppy he wanted because another family adopted her. That's okay though. All four of the puppies got adopted up right away which is good. Now more people just need to adopt adult animals. I think I can say right now that I will probably always adopt from a shelter. Those animals need homes.

I was going to post this blog on Saturday night but I was pooped. I worked 5 hours on Friday, 10 hours on Saturday, 9 hours yesterday, and then 5 hours today. I'm hoping for a good paycheck so I think it will be worth it.

Valentine's Day!

I was going to post this last night but my computer decided that I wasn't going to be allowed to open an internet tab... cool. Which reminds me, I think I'm going to get this baby cleaned up and use it for leisure, and get a Macbook Air for school. Going to have to work on saving for that one.

Anyway, John gave me the most wonderful Valentine's Day yesterday :) It was the best day I've had in a long time. I went to surprise him at lunch and he surprised me with flowers. I totally wasn't expecting it. They were gorgeous. I also got a jar of pickles which I was expecting, because I love pickles.


Then after school we went out to the humane society to look at the kitties because I'm getting John a pet for his birthday, and he ended up signing the papers for this adorable little girl.


While I fell in love with this pretty lady :)

She's so friendly and soft. I wish I could have a kitty so bad. The little pup that John picked out is a sister in a litter of 3 girls and a boy. The little boy is called for already along with 2 of the girls (one for sure by John and the other hopefully by his roommate Tyler) so we will be having lots of puppy fun soon :) The last one will have no problem finding a home with that cute little face. The girls at the humane society estimated the puppies being around 6 weeks old. A farmer brought them in after finding them in his barn. He said that he thinks he found the momma on the side of the road :( and that she looked like she had some American Eskimo in her. I don't think these puppies will get very big, probably medium sized dogs. The cutest thing is that John's puppy is the only one without a tail. It looks like she was just born that way. She's also pretty quiet and mild from the looks of it, which is good. If they don't need deworming they should be coming home tomorrow!

On to the rest of our day, after the humane society and lots of treats John took me to The Vow which was an adorable movie. I really loved it. Then we went to the Valentine's Bistro at school. I had never been to it before so I decided that this year I wasn't missing it, and I'm glad I didn't. I never realized how talented some of those people are. It was really good. Then we enjoyed some cheesecake and came back to my house to watch the first episode of the new season of Walking Dead. It was a good one. My whole family follows that show religiously, and John loves anything to do with zombies. My whole day was really amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better one.

And who got a 105% on her first Psych test? Yeah :)
