In theory, my "short story" thing was a great idea. But my first story flopped because I couldn't get it in the perspective I wanted. And the second story is coming along decently well, but then I realized that most of my audience wouldn't appreciate the humor in it due to your ages. Which is fine. I guess you just have to deal with the usual nonsense then, I suppose! ;-)
Your first question may be, "Why are you awake and blogging at 1 AM in the morning?"
Well, because a) I don't feel like sleeping and b) I'm getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow and therefore will probably be sleeping most of the day so why not enjoy being awake now? Besides, I'm listening to some stellar music.
Your second question may be, "Why haven't you blogged in so long? Why have you deserted us?" Well, I am a busy bee. I was working about 40 hours a week, now I only work about 24, so I have a bit of spare time on my hands. I also realize that yes, that was two questions, not one. But for the sake of convenience, I've decided that those count as only one question. Deal with it.
Your third question may be, "WHY ARE YOU PUTTING WORDS INTO OUR MOUTHS?! WHAT IF WE'RE NOT ASKING THESE QUESTIONS AND DON'T EVEN CARE?!"
Well, a) because I have that kind of power on here, b) it's intriguing, c) I KNOW that that was way more than just one question, but you're seriously going to have to chill out and keep reading. Or don't. I'm not forcing you to read my random ramblings and seriously entertaining self.
Now, moving along, I would just like to say that being a barista can be problematic with someone of my social capabilities. When you're socially awkward it becomes huge problem in terms of making tips. Of course, being in a poor location creates issues for tipping as well, but I won't get into that tonight. If you're wondering how my ADD got me here it's partly because I re-read this post and partly because I reflected briefly and scarring-ly on today. My, my, the talent I possess for being a dweeb. It's revolutionary. It's legend-WaitForIt-dary!
OK, I'm done. Enjoy your wisdom teeth while you still can. Enjoy your undrugged states until someday you, too, require a surgery or procedure of some kind and have to survive in a semi-consciousness for a good 24 hours.
Also, I recommend NOT planning a bonfire for the night after you get a procedure like this. Oh, and DON'T stay up late and if you do, please don't text people. Ish gets WEIRD, ok?!
Peace!

If You Would Be So Kind...
So I am finally home from Honduras, which was quite exciting. I would talk about it, but I really would rather not sound like I'm bragging, besides, I have this kind of crazy idea.
If this fails, tell me so now. That actually was a lie. Give me a few more moments of your time, if you please.
I've been writing bits and scraps of short stories and I'm going to post one soon. If you all enjoy it, I may post a few more every now and again. So, if you would be so kind, your feedback and thoughts on this would be much appreciated.
In other news, I am contemplating the possibility of moving to Honduras for a couple of months next summer. Considering the fact that I have family there and there is countless opportunities for volunteering in medical facilities, not to mention the fact that sometimes you just need to go and try something new before you're tied down with job and family.
Anyway, I'd say that's sufficient for the time being...the story to come soon! ;-)
Peace!

Truly Scrumptious
It's official, I'm scrumptious. Mary over at The Fraying Scarf nominated this blog as "Scrumptious"!! What I'm supposed to do at this point is nominate other blogs, but a) I don't really follow other blogs and b) I leave at 3:45 AM tomorrow to go to Honduras! So, I will answer Mary's questions and thank her from the bottom of my heart for the nomination, but that's all I will be able to manage for the time being!
1) What makes you nervous the most? Oh, gosh! I guess either heights or being forced into situations where I have absolutely no idea what to expect.
2) If you could travel anywhere in the world to eat a certain kind of food, where would it be and what would you eat? Oh. My. Gosh. France. And I would want to eat all sorts of breads and cheeses and fondues. Mm-Mm.
3) What do you want to learn about a person when you first meet? What sort of things they're interested, whether or not they're out-going/crazy or more shy, umm and I'm sure there's more but I've never really thought about it before I guess!
4) What is your most commonly-crossed pet-peeve? Messes. Messes, messes, messes. I guess I should expect it, what with 7 siblings...but my word!!!! Also people who don't keep their word or are untimely or inconsiderate!! OK...so I have a lot of common-place pet-peeves!
5) How do you wear your hair on a daily basis? In a braid or a bun. (Curly hair problems...)
6) What day of the week do you most look forward to? Why? Friday. I work weekends a lot, so it's not because I finally get a break...I guess Fridays just have a flair of excitement that makes me giddy.
7) What do you consider your most unique feature? My sister says my weirdness or my eyeballs...but I guess I would say my eyes (they're yellow sometimes, OK? That's pretty fricken nuts) or my hair.
8) What is your favorite drink? Vanilla milkshakes...gentlemen, the way to my heart? Milkshakes. Mm-mm, GOOD! ;-)
9) What do you do to cheer yourself up after a bad day? I listen to music, read a good book, take a nap, and read Psalms.
10) What is the most embarrassing piece of clothing you currently own? Oh gosh, so many to choose from...
ANY hoot'n'holla', that is enough for one night, I'm going to, once again, appreciate that feeling of scrumptiousness and attempt to get some sleep in before I go to HONDURAS! :D :D :D :D :D
Peace Out!

The Enemy Has Infiltrated
When there are 60 (or so) people infiltrating your place of peace and rest (and by that, I mean ones home, obviously) and there is nowhere to hide, nowhere you can blast your odd music, nowhere you can sing and not be judged....well, let.me.tell.you...IT'S ENOUGH TO DRIVE YOU MAD!
You see, there are auditions for the plays my mother will be directing this upcoming school year (Sense & Sensibility and An Ideal Husband) are today. And you see, I don't like this very much. At all, actually.
There is nowhere I can go where I won't be shushed. Nowhere I can go that I can escape the giggles of all these younglings (and by that I mean high schoolers). Nowhere I can go to hide from the ugly, green monster.
Yes, yes I am jealous. I can't believe I can't be in these plays anymore!!!!!!!!!
Also, I'm just irked that I can't walk anywhere without tripping over people.
Also, I am caffeinated and exhausted. Ugly combo.
I may go hide at the library. This however, wouldn't last long as my curiosity would win out in the end.
Honestly, the only reason I am continuing to type these words right now is to stop me from bursting into song...namely, "WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO, GOT TO DO WITH ET!!!!" Careful when you click on that link, I'm not actually positive that that is the song I have stuck in my head...I can't actually click on it to listen to it myself...but it's Tina Turner sooo how can you go wrong, right? Heh heh-heh.
Anyway, I hope y'alls days are slightly less ksajdgflasjdfgkjahsfg than mine! ;-)
PEACE!!!! (<--Deep Man Voice)

I Blame Caffeine
I would like to clarify, I am not addicted to caffeine. In fact, I can go without my coffee and function on an average level and be pleasant enough, thank you very much.
HOWEVER, you will find that WITH coffee, my natural tendency to be happy-go-lucky, cheerful, optimistic, and friendly become somewhat...magnified.
I suddenly am overwhelmed with desires to do crazy, creative things. Today's newest brainstorm is to open a Gluten Free restaurant among other things. Essentially, I've decided that if my career in Nursing doesn't pan out, I'm going to change my degree to a Business/Culinary one and yada-yada-yada. Anyway, it's brilliant. You wouldn't understand.
I've also decided I'm going to do some extensive work to make sure my application to EMU's Nursing program is undeniably fabulous.
In addition, in July, I'm considering switching Coffee Shops...nothing personal, Biggby..I just have some big plans here and you're not complying.
OH! AND I started that blog I was talking about starting....and by "started" I mean, I set up the template...I just have yet to, uh, POST anything...but details, details...I'll get started on that today. Check it out sometime: The Way The Cookie Crumbles. May I just add, however, that it's going to have a much different feel and will be more focused on my diseases, eventually college, and just life and less of a Beavis and Butthead feel.
Wow. OK. Case in point, I become Hammy with a mission on caffeine. It's truly entertaining, I assure you.
Peace!

The Return of the Freak
I'M ALIVE! I've been pretty absent lately. I mean, well, you know...life happens.
Basically, I'm dying of an incurable disease called, "exhaustion." It's also known as: Overworked, Overwhelmed, and Emotional Constipation.....it's a pretty broad disease covering any number of issues and varies person-to-person, which is why most people just refer to it simply as, "exhaustion." It's general enough that it can cover all of your bases with just a simple, easy to understand word. Not even that hard to pronounce either!!
Unfortunately for me, at this point, caffeine is only doing SO much and it's a short-term cure only, with positive side-affects only lasting for a few hours at a time. Honestly, it's enough to make you want to move to change your name, pack your bags, escape to a tropical island and sip on alcoholic beverages and make sure people forget about your existence.
Ahhhh if only I were independently wealthy...or won the lottery...the things I could do.
Oh well, I'll get over it with about a month straight of sleep and quite possibly some heavy doses of medication (morphine? Vicodin? The options are endless....)
I do hope you all are enjoying your Memorial Day. Which, by the way, is COMPLETELY misconceived by the general public! This is enough of an issue that I must insist on taking a moment to clarify the matter for all you idiots....MEMORIAL DAY IS NOT Veterans Day. OK? It is commemorating all those who have passed on before us WITH a slight focus on those military heroes who have died for our freedom. I'm just saying, please remember others as well.
Also, something coming up in the future...sometime in the next little while, I am going to start another blog. I will continue to update this one and it will continue to be me poking fun at my life! ;-) But my other one will be a bit more serious focusing on my Diabetes, Celiac, College, Work, and Life Lessons ;-) Knowing me, it probably won't be all that serious, but I can always hope, right?? Anyway, if you have any suggestions for Blog Titles, let me know.
Peace!

Busy Bee
Well, I can for real and for certain say that I am no longer a Senior. How this happened? I do not know. But I got me mah big shmanshy diploma.
My gosh, though...my life. I've been so busy lately that I'm constantly going someplace and doing something. Today is the first time in WEEKS that I'm allowed to just sit down and relax. I have NOTHING going on tonight!!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF!!!!!! I just can't deal with this whole "sitting around" thing. It's weird. I may go take a nap, because I'm so sleep deprived....I don't even know how I'm alive right now.
I just started a new job at Biggby. Craziness. My boss is a bit...odd. But I love my job...except when I don't, which, honestly, isn't very often! Thank God.
Anyway, I just found out GREAT news for the trip me and my friends are planning for July AND prom is tomorrow AND I had coffee...so I've successfully avoided any panic attacks today (this is a big deal for me right now...I've been having panic attacks almost daily! :p)!!! I must say, I'm pretty dang pleased with life today!!
The one debby downer to today, is my food intake is being extremely restricted which makes me a grumpy pants...BUT, I shall live! ;-)
Well, I have nothing to say anymore right now...I just want to go finish my book and take a nap....and maybe make myself some pudding...hmmm...
Well, joy to the world! Enjoy this FABULOUS weather!

IMA SENER
Ah my, my....the life of a home schooled Senior. This morning I completed my AP Calculus Test, then of course, being me, I had a doctor's appointment, then I came home to finish my gol' darn SENIOR BOARD. Don't ask me WHY we have to make them, gah!!! I must say, I'm a little proud of mine. Hard work and glue-y fingers and it looks like my life: organized chaos. I like it.
Anyway, tomorrow will consist purely of packing, home work, oh, yes...blood draw, not to mention MY SISTER IS GETTING CONFIRMED!! WOOT WOOT! More power to you, baby-girl! Then of course, the creme de la resitance (too lazy to get the proper accents from the internet), THE GREAT GATSBY MIDNIGHT PREMIER!!!! Which is ACTUALLY a misnomer considering the fact that I'm going to a 10 PM "Midnight Premier" but whatevah.
Then of course there's the 4AM wake-up and departure for NC Friday morning. So of course, I have to read a book, write a paper on it and gather ALL of my assignments together to mail in tomorrow...not to mention laundry to do.
Well, I think that was sufficiently random, scattered, and confusing for one night. I'm thoroughly exhausted and stressed for no decent reason, and wasting all of my time watching Sherlock and browsing Facebook, checking the prom attendee list, and scallywagging on any website I stumble upon. Sleep is for the weak...and the happy.
Lack of sleep DOES SOMETHING TO YOU!!!! if you couldn't tell by this ENTIRE post. I'm just losing my mind. No biggie. Stress not or you'll end up like me: jittery, jumpy, worn out, ready to punch a monkey, and...yeah, that's about it.
I'm nearing the brink, that's foh sho....it's enough to make you want to spout movie quotes from every decent movie ever made, including Princess Bride, Mean Girls, Legally Blonde, She's The Man and many, many more. THEN AGAIN....I do that anyway! So there's that...
Well, I should probably stop revealing just how mental I've become! ;-)
Peassabi!

A Dangerous Condition
Oh...oh....no! I think...I might...it could be...that I...I...I just may be DYING!!!! OH SWEET MOTHER OF LINCOLN!!!! HELP ME!!!!!
Why am I slowly (but surely) dying??
What horrendous allergic reaction is causing me such lingering pain and misery that DEATH is even a viable possibility at this time??
I will tell you...though I do have to warn you, I'm trying to keep this on the DL....I mean, there aren't many people who suffer from this condition...it's fairly rare. I can't decide if it makes me abnormal, I mean, it's not usually girls who have this condition and so I get a little self-conscious, you know?
(Deep Breath)
Wellllll...you see....ummmm...OK! I'LL TELL YOU ALREADY!!!! I'm allergic to...to...well...shopping! OK?! I'm allergic to shopping!
Side affects include: dizziness, nausea, paranoia, panic-attacks, migraines, stomach aches, blurry eye-sight (oh, no wait...my glasses are just dirty and the prescription is old...scratch that), exhaustion, irritation, low blood sugar (it's happened once or twice....COINCIDENCE?! I.THINK.NOT!!!), high blood sugar (I swear, it's happened at LEAST twice in the past 18 years), my wallet loses weight and begins to look sickly, fainting (when I walk past Abercrombie&Fitch or Hollister and get knocked over by that horrendous scent), clumsiness (my mom says I was born that way, but I walked into door/walls at LEAST twice, so I don't think that's natural), and extreme hunger...well, there's a whole book on this condition, but there's really too much to go into at this time.
BUT!!! Despite the fact that I will be recovering for some time (mainly curled up reading Harry Potter or crying in a corner with a chocolate bar and a glazed expression)....I DID IT!
I pushed through the pain like a true winner and managed to find the necessities:
-Work shoes
-Prom dress
-Graduation dress
-Dress for my SISTER'S graduation
-Cartilage piercing
-New glasses
And a few other things I've been in need of for awhile.
I will tell you, looking for a prom dress has been no easy task. I think I've spent more time looking for one than I've spent shopping in the rest of my 18 years COMBINED!!!! Good gosh. Pain in the gooney, may I just say!!! I still need to accessorize (WHY, GOD, WHY WAS I BORN A GIRL?!?!?!?) but that can wait for another day and will (hopefully) be far less traumatic.
Despite my whining and dramatics, I DID get to spend quality time shopping with my parents this morning and then with my friends this afternoon. See? I can find the light in the darkest, most dreary situations! ;-)
No, I am extremely grateful for everything I've been blessed with. Don't EVER doubt it!
Well, I really must return to my recovery period (aka Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone).
Peace, ma homies!

May, May, May
What? May already?? Crap dang. Not ready for everything that entails.
I'll do the only thing that makes ANY sense...I'll get sick to my stomach on a glorious spring day. Right. So sick that I spend most of the day sleeping and the other half, too miserable to study for upcoming AP tests. Makes perfect sense. Thank you, body, for being so reasonable. I truly appreciate your kindness.
OK, I'm being dramatic. It's something I'm quite good at when I feel like it.
All sarcasm and griping aside, today is a wonderful day. "Why?" you ask. Because, 21 years ago, my parents got married. For obvious reasons, that is one of the most important days of my life...if they hadn't gotten married, been open to life, etc, etc...no Alex. And where would this world be without me?
Totally kidding.
In all seriousness though, they are such a wonderful example of what marriage should be. Nobody's perfect, but I have to say, I appreciate everything they've done for me. They love me. They trust me. They're cool and crazy, but they're responsible and know the balance between "friends" (per say) and parents. Not to mention their incredible love for each other. I can honestly say, I hope that someday I meet someone who loves me as much as my dad loves my mom and who I love as much as my mom loves my dad.
They still sometimes act like teenage lovebirds (and after their weight loss...they even LOOK a little like teenage lovebirds!!) and even though it kinda grosses me out a little and though they embarrass me as only parents can embarrass their children...I love them and appreciate their love for each other immensely.
I love you Momma and Baba!!
*I was going to post a recent picture of them kissing in front of the Eiffel Tower (they went over Easter Break) but, they're my parents...and (no offense, Ma and Ba) but....EW.
Give your parents hugs and kisses, because, even if they're not mine....they're pretty awesome!
Peace!
I'll do the only thing that makes ANY sense...I'll get sick to my stomach on a glorious spring day. Right. So sick that I spend most of the day sleeping and the other half, too miserable to study for upcoming AP tests. Makes perfect sense. Thank you, body, for being so reasonable. I truly appreciate your kindness.
OK, I'm being dramatic. It's something I'm quite good at when I feel like it.
All sarcasm and griping aside, today is a wonderful day. "Why?" you ask. Because, 21 years ago, my parents got married. For obvious reasons, that is one of the most important days of my life...if they hadn't gotten married, been open to life, etc, etc...no Alex. And where would this world be without me?
