fashion statements

This is my "Don't mess with me, I stayed up late studying for biology and now will rip your head off if you even so much as glance in my direction" outfit. It's also the "It's the weekend and I don't care so I'm going to look like a slob and watch disney channel movies" outfit. I guess the fashion bug is going around because my brother shaved his head which is almost as fantastic as those sandals with those socks. I guess his might be a little bit better of a cause because he did it in support of my aunt who has breast cancer, but my cause is still pretty noble. those sandals love my feet and my toes feel lonely without them. Have a good week kids. This weekend was a mess. A good one. 



P.S. more photos of Brooklyn HERE

Be prepared


Well a few days ago I got some pictures of my friend Brooklyn because she just so happens to be gorgeous and I just so happen to own a camera. Here's a preview, there are some awesome bloopers and some really great blackmail material, but I will just share the good ones (maybe)

February 18th


14 Things I learned from being 14:

1. The quickest way to unhappiness is to compare yourself to someone else

2. When a friendship is mended it is stronger

3. Change is hard. Liking it is harder

4. Of all the places in the world to be, home is my favorite

5. Happiness is a choice. A hard choice, but an important one

6. Friends will come and go. Crying over that is just stupid, understandable, but stupid

7. Confidence is easier than the world will ever let you know

8. What you worry about today you will have forgotten in a year

9. Having cool shoes makes every day a little brighter

10. Do what makes you happy

11. The only flakes I want in my life are the ones in a cereal bowl

12. I like being alone too much. 

13. An awkward life is a happy life

14. Attention is scarce. You can either try and get it, our give it.

I realize that yesterday marks 6 days since I've posted. 
I feel like a bad blogger. 
I wish I could tell you about some super cool thing I've done to make up for it. 
But the problem is I really haven't done anything different. 
Just regular days filled with 
Sleeping in until 3
Setting the toaster on fire
Watching Dave Ramsey videos
Singing at the hockey games
Pulling the DNA out of peas
Taking pictures of Mountains
Also, my birthday is on Monday 
I keep forgetting. 
Thats all.

It's still rock and roll to me.

My goal this weekend is to not wear pants. 
I hope that lets you know what kind of a weekend this is. 
I've got a date with Billy Joel and dinner with Mr. Totino. 
There may be a little Rogers and Hammerstein thrown in there for good measure. 


"Good morning."
The greatest oxymoron ever created.
Sometimes I pray for an extra long time just so I can hide under my blankets for a while longer.
Then there are the days when my morning prayers look like this;
"Dear Lord, make me not be dead today. Amen" 


Staying up until 2:30 in the morning is what happens when you are a reader.
If you aren't a reader I feel sad for you.
Michael Vey. Pretty good. Obviously I had to finish it in one day.
Reading, not a hobby, a way of life.

Blackmail pictures make things interesting

Lets play catch up. 

February is moving by too fast to stop and take time to blog.
My apologies. 
To make up for my crappy blogging lately, 
here's a catch up post:

That picture? Blackmail is ok by me. 
Don't worry I have more. 
This is what goes on when my mom has parent teacher conference. 

The bachelor two night event. 
They went to Canada. Seriously? 
"Gee Shaun, where do you think is the best place to fall in love?" 
"Oh, Canada."
"Canada eh?"
Of course someone gets hypothermia.

My Dad just so happens to be in Florida. 
My mother informed me that he is going to Universal Studios. 
excuse me while I curl up in a ball and cry.

How do you study for biology tests? 
I make cookies. 
Everything relates to biology.
I call myself nerd. It's fine.

January was not fun. 
I decided I had two options; 
A: Punish myself for sucking that month
B: reward myself for getting all the way through the month without it ending in death. 
I decided rewards are more fun. 
120 crayons? Yes please! 

Sometimes I forget to put on mascara. 
woops. 
by the end of winter I care more about sleeping in a little longer
than doing unimportant things like breakfast and putting on pants. 

My brother and I have brother-sister bonder time
we watch the bachelor together.
I'm ok with that. 

Emily is staying over at my house. 
She has very quite footsteps
I might have been frightened more than once. 
"Ah, unagi." 

Did you enjoy this monster of a post?
Sorry (not sorry) 
Have a great February. 
Buy yourself some crayons.
