Not all that is gold glitters.

Well JRR Tolkien says that  "not all that is gold glitters" but there has been a lot of gold in my life lately, so I thought I'd better decide what glitters and what doesn't.

Gold that does glitter:

-My Divine Nature sign for New Beginnings

-The paper crowns Emily and I spray painted

-The Jars Emily and I are using

-The hipster banner I made

-Basically everything I have prepared for New Beginnings

Gold that doesn't glitter:

-Trips to St. George with my family

-Pizza runs on fridays

-The combination of good shoes and well done hair

-Planning lessons on who you are

-Advertising and Commercial art

-Weeks full of simple joys to get me through

Please enjoy your week and watch for the gold that doesn't glitter. I know it's hard, especially when you have 3 tests and a project within two days and drivers ed on top of that, but I think if you keep yourself close to God, He will get you through all that you can't on your own.

Stay gold Pony Boy.

Oh hey.

Hello friend, I'm back from St. George and I already want to go back.

On this trip I bought some lip gloss, 

played mermaids,

missed a great friends birthday party,

watched some pointless Mormon movies,

sang too much Little Women,

walked a 5K,

had a sleepover with the coolest 12 year olds,

ate trillions of cookies,

took some family pictures, 

got my makeup done, 

chilled in a bubble bath, 

creeped on some kids, 

just kept eating Neaders, 

watched the SAG awards, 

ignored all the social media for which I am totally not sorry. 

Trying to be a good blogger.

Pointless picture: check.

Posting twice in a week: check.

Writing pointless stuff that nobody cares about: check

Sometimes I refuse to watch things online before they're out just because I need something to look forward to. 

Sometimes I make my mom buy me beauty products because I secretly feel like life can be better with lipgloss. 

Sometimes I get mad and hurt and chose not to have important conversations over blogger because that's ridiculous. 

Sometimes I draw people with sombreros in kaiaks for assignments in classes.

Sometimes I play My Country Tis Of Thee even though it's January and Independence day is 6 months away.

Sometimes I listen to long musicals so I know the story even when I've never seen the play. 

Sometimes I get really, really excited because Gilligan's Island and Hogan's Heroes are on and I have an addiction to black and white TV.

Sometimes I think that people get too worked up over things in highschool. Friendships shouldn't be hard. 

Whatever. Blogging is a struggle these days, just like reading is. I don't know why but things that once were easy to me are hard now. Oh well, I think that if you look too deeply into things eventually you'll drown. Cheers. 

Lets pretend that never happened.

Sorry that I just kind of dropped off the planet. Lets pretened that never happened.

Now that I'm back, from outer space, lets get down to business.

I promise to try and be a better blogger, even when I think nobody is reading this. 

I promise to write dumb things that is of no importance because that is what real life is. 

I promise to post pictures as often as I can even if it's not a good picture.

Now please let me make good on my promises and start telling you dumb things that, in all honesty, are my life:

For your enjoyment here are some random insults that I take pride in coming up with while around people that drive me crazy:

"It's boys like you that make me understand why some girls choose to be nuns."

"I can think of 100 fictional characters that are more real than you."

"I'd rather kiss a dementor than you. Just so you know."

I like posts with no real purpose or structure so how about I catch you up on my life lately:

The week after Christmas: I realized that I'm an introvert because books and movies are more interesting than some of my friends. I also became addicted to a TV show called "Sherlock" and I am currently counting down the days until the new season comes out. 

The week after the week after Christmas: I went to the lamest New Years Eve dance ever, then I stayed up until 4:00 in the morning watching Here Comes the Boom and talking about chicken wings with the coolest people in the entire world. I ate a cupcake, saw The Book Theif, and took some pictures which was awesome. Here's one of them, the rest are here. 

The week after the week after the week after Christmas (last week):

My cat judged me hard for watching the bachelor with my brother and yelling things like "I love you Juan Paublo!" I made a playlist with songs about being in a good mood and am currently listening to it like a boss. I said "whatever" way too many times, and was far too weary of people to try to make a conversation. 

Well now, I guess that gets you all caught up with what I've been doing lately. Also, an award goes to whoever can name how many times I quoted song lyrics in this post.
