Mood...

My mood is directly correlated to the moods of those around me.
But not everyone.
Just those who I care about.
If my friends are in a bad mood.
Then I am quite soon influenced to have the same demeanor.
This is horrible and something that I should work on.
It's just hard, you know?

Teeth...

I had braces for five years.
They tried to fix my crooked jaw by giving me braces.
I never realized quite how crooked my jaw was until I filmed myself talking.
When I talk,
I talk sideways.
It's awful.
I have become semi-self-conscious about it and I talk with a hand in front of my mouth.
This is a problem because on top of my mumbling,
you can barely hear what I am saying.
Five years of braces has taught me a few things.
Firstly,
the list of foods they give you mean nothing.
I ate all of those food all five years and none of my brackets ever fell off.
Secondly,
you notice all the older people who still have braces.
Thirdly,
when you get them off you see how big your teeth actually are.
I hated my teeth for the first week after getting my braces off.
I actually asked if I could get them back on.
When I was young I had an under-bite.
It was extremely uncomfortable.
I hardly ever smiled with my teeth showing.
But now,
I always smile with my teeth.
If its real,
it's pearly.
(The dot on my lip is a freckle, not food.)

FRIENDS...

Sometimes I forget that my idea of friends is different than other peoples.

I classify a friend as someone who I see and hang out with everyday.

Other people classify a friend as someone who you may see once a week,

but more importantly, 

someone who is there for you.

I think that is a much better definition. 

I mean according to my definition, 

I only have about one friend, 

if that.

I am so so so thankful for my friends.

Although I am super quirky,

they still put up with me for reasons I will never understand. 

Skype...

So my favorite thing about skype is the picture button.
I love taking horrible photos of my friends when they are not aware.
Here are a few of my favorites:

 

I would like to thank my friends for their wonderful expressions.

I am sorry if you come across this and are greatly perturbed by your own image.

Sometimes a photo is essential.

Do you get tired of carrying that rock around?

Engagement rings.
They used to be classy and elegant.
Not too showy,
just enough for it to be special.

Now they are tacky and just plain hideous. 

(Sorry if this is your ring.)

Why don't we go back to the classics?
Honestly,
if I ever get married,
I would almost rather just have a plain band than one of those bricks.

Happy Valentines Day...

Pretty much every year that I can remember,
I have had a horrid Valentine's day.
I have never had a Valentine,
other than family,
and I typically spend the day thinking about that fact.
Terrible idea.
I finally realized this year that the only reason I hate Valentine's day is because I whine and what not.
So this year,
I treated it as any other day,
and I had a marvelous day.
A fantastic day in fact.
I had a marvelous friend date,
I was able to hang out with my friend and attempt to study for my test,
I skipped all three meals in the cafeteria due to the cold weather,
I got a darling Valentine's day card from my mommy,
I got a kitten tattoo from my friend,
I wore sweat pants out of the dorm and I didn't care,
I went to bed early and got plenty of sleep.
Overall I had a wonderful day.
Ey,
I guess life really is what you make it.

Make me smile...

Hey. 

You know what makes me smile?

A pretty wild flower.

Getting a letter.

Singing loudly to music I love. 

Swing dancing with someone who is actually interested in dancing with me.

Spending time with people I love.

Bright colors.

Talking to random strangers.

A smile.

A random act of kindness.

Surprises.

A loud laugh.

When someone remembers something completely random that I told them.

When someone tells me something completely random.
