Something that Never Fails to Make You Feel Better
There are a couple things.
When my cat curls up beside me in bed and holds my hand.
Spooning
Laughing so hard with my friends that I can’t breathe
The first few days of summer
That feeling when you wake up, realize you have nothing to do, and let yourself go back to sleep for a bit
Christmas morning
Payday
I could keep going but...

Yes, Monday - Friday, sans work.
Sounds great until you calculate the amount of money I’ll be making.
So, until either a) I start getting more hours or b) I find a new/second job, I need to find things to do with myself while I’m off for 5 days that are cheap.
So far:
Go to the gym all the time and get super ripped
Read a shit ton of books that have been piling up
Watch ALL the...

Going to try to not spend the next 3 months thinking about the flight and deal with it when it gets here.
I’ve never been out west. I’ve never even seen real mountains. I mean, I’ve seen a singular mountain, but not a range of them. Nor have I seen the Pacific Ocean or travelled backwards through the time zones.
My excitement for all of this stuff is hopefully going to keep me...

Disrespecting Parents
I’m not sure I understand this one. I’m assuming it means, how do you feel about it?
I mean, for the most part, no one should disrespect their parents. These are the people who brought us in to the world. They fed us, clothed us, raised us, made sure we had all we needed. We all go through phases in our youth where we rage against them, but at the end of the day...

Teaching my mom about the internet (abridged)
Mom: If you started a blog, what would you write about?
Me: Cats.
Mom: Cats?
Me: Well, yeah. The internet is basically cats and porn.
Mom: What about something different? Cute pictures of babies?
Me: Nope, it's all cats and porn.

aren’t you missing - planes and flying?
I sort of put that under the “dying” category. It’s not the flying that scares me, it’s the plummeting to my death that terrifies me.

Things that Make You Scared
Everything.
No but really, I’m scared of a lot of things. I have a few huge ones though.
Water that is deep and dark and you can’t see the bottom. Even seeing photos of the bottom of the ocean makes my chest tighten. When I was a kid in Florida and was alone in the deep end, I’d be convinced there was a giant octopus living under the grate at the...

3 Things you are Proud of About your Personality
Being stubborn. I know that it can drive people absolutely bonkers but it means that I stick to what I believe in. It takes a lot for me to back down on something if I really believe it is the right thing. I know that I need to work on compromising in certain situations, but overall, I’ve learned to embrace my inner ass.
My sense of humour....
Oh god, I have to wake up at 5:30 tomorrow morning
I just…ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

The Best Thing to Happen to You this Week
Well, it’s only Monday, so I guess we should stretch it back to last week as well?
Honestly, last week was one of the most emotional, stressful, draining weeks I’ve dealt with in a long time. I got as much sleep in 3 days as most people get in one night. I cried, I hyperventilated, I almost gave up.
But there are little things that have...

Something Disgusting You Do
I’m not sure what I feel would be appropriate to post here other than some super rank farts.
Oh, I guess I leave a lot of dishes in the sink which some people find gross. And some I leave in my room which is worse. I have stopped letting things get moldy in my room, but it used to happen. I have a habit (a bad one) of not cleaning out tupperware and then the...

Sorry for being a day late, I was home for all of like 2 hours yesterday. Eek.
A Date You Would Love to Go On
I’m pretty easy-going when it comes to dates that I like. I’m not looking for someone to plan a night of bowling or do “something new and fun”. I’m a simple girl. I like getting drinks with someone that I like so we can get to know each other, staying out...

I'm alive.
I’m just absorbing life the past few days.
Trying to sort out my head and my heart and everything in between.
Enjoying the brief moments of contentment and reconnection. Trying to stop worrying. Trying to be alright.

Also, it's amazing how talking to the right person...
So shouts out to that friend who picks you up and lets your drunk ass be annoying until you realize that you might finally be able to get some sleep.
Things in my head might still be a mess, but at least now it all feels manageable.

Things You Want to Say to an Ex
HAHAHAHA welcome to the week where I’ve been doing nothing BUT saying stuff to an ex. Why do you think I haven’t been sleeping? I’m not sure there’s anything left for me to say, any song left I can direct to…all I can do is keep my head up and try to be ok with whatever happens.
Somehow this veered way off topic.
The point is, there...

What a weird, roller coaster of a week
Feeling slightly off kilter.
Ok, so the Paris trip got a little too complicated...
BUT, I think instead I’m going to fly to BC to visit Travis and celebrate my 27th birthday on the west coast!
The upside to never traveling is that my mom wants me to do it so badly that she’s willing to help me out with flights.
I might need to look into getting some anti-anxiety meds for the flight though.
But I’m stoked!

Your current relationship status. If single, discuss single life
I am single. I wish I could be one of those people who is happy being single, but the straight up, honest truth is that I pretty much hate it.
There are things I like about being single. I like that I can sleep in my bed and not have someone stealing the covers or snoring in my ear. I also like not having to deal with the...
I have potentially an opportunity go to Paris with...
There are a million reasons I can think of to not go, but then part of me is like “who fucking cares?”
Mostly I’m afraid of the flight. Seriously afraid.
Spooning would be really fantastic right now.

Your Views on Drugs and Alcohol
My views on both have changed drastically in the last 10ish years.
When I was in high school, I looked down on everyone I knew who drank or did drugs. I even contemplated going straight edge for awhile (such a cool 17 year old).
When I got to university, I was shown how I could drink and have fun without ending up puking all over the sidewalk or ending up in a...
Not sleeping well has made my days bleed together

“Annie: I just wanted a chance to explain. You don’t know him, you...”
– Being Human.
This scene hit me wayyyyyy too hard. Except for the being dead part.
I'm just drained right now, you know?
Physically, mentally, emotionally.
Stayed up all night pouring my heart and guts out, purging things I didn’t even think were still in me. Letting myself be vulnerable.
Doesn’t change anything though.
I need this dreary day to feel sorry for myself. I just need one more day to lie in bed and think about everything I could have done.
And then I promise I’m going to start...
I think I need to tattoo "just keep breathing" on...

Your last kiss
Last Saturday (like the one previous to the one that just past) night (or Sunday morning, it was about 1am) after a night of watching movies and eating popcorn and learning to drink whiskey, I was walked to Runnymede station, kissed goodbye and then groped.
It was almost romantic.

This band covers pop songs in the style of Fleet Foxes. It is not the actual Fleet Foxes band, but they sound so similar.

For Christmas my mom gave me peppermint oil...
I like taking them though because when they dissolve, it’s like your whole body is being refreshed by mint. It’s the weirdest and yet most intriguing feeling in the world.

Something you’re currently worrying about
Figured this is fitting since it’s 7:30 and I’ve been awake for at least an hour and a half doing nothing but dwelling.
If you don’t know me by now, then you don’t know that I worry about EVERYTHING. I am a really anxious person, so I’m usually worrying about any number of things at any point in the day.
I am...
God, there is like nothing worse in the world than...
