Just a few things that have happened over the past few weeks/months that i've neglected to tell you:

• I got out of school. First year of highschool-done.
• I bought loads of makeup because I'm an addict and enabler. 
• I went on vacation.
• I wrote to a missionary to the horror of my sister. I refused to read her the letter. 
• I took a friend to breakfast and spilled Kneaders on my pants.
• I got my drivers license. 
• I went on my first date.
• I realized that my brother was going to be leaving for two years. 
• I cried a little about that. 

The Truth

The truth is I have no idea how to explain my life right now.

Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb.

I decided I like stories on blogs so here goes:
Once upon a time I gate crashed a party, cut my chin on a tree and drove around until my curfew. The End.
Once upon a time I invited the most awkward people ever over and tried very hard to ride away on my bicycle. The End.
Once upon a time I partied hard at a stake dance and joined in when they started the High School Musical dance. The End.
Once upon a time I just sat around and made art all day and forgot to shower which was gross. The End.
Once upon a time I drove down to Provo because I wanted to be around my sister more than my friends. The End.
Once upon a time I stayed up all night reading The Importance of Being Earnest and laughed my head off. The End.
Once upon a time I had a million of things to post about, but didn't post any of them, and I realized how nice that is. The End.
The End.

Brother, brother

When you're favorite brother turns 18.

You should celebrate.

I Don't Want to make it Stop.

Reasons I am actually six years old:
I eat all the girl scout cookies.

I go on bike rides.

I make paintings.

I watch Hannah Montanna.

I make homemade pretzels.

I Listen to The Teen Beach Movie soundtrack.

I read books about Captain Hook.

I paint faces.

Truth is I am a child. 

Officially not ashamed. 

March to the beat of your own drum

In my opinion:

Making art is therapeutic.

Spring is the best of the seasons.

Ponytails are not worth it.

Awkwardness is a flavor of adrenaline. 

Third term is the worst. 

March should be followed by May not April.

It's impossible to like something someone who bugs you likes.

Finding new bands should not be a competition.

Elvis should still be around.

Socks should match shirts.

Posts should be short.

Ice cream should be eaten for breakfast.

Little sisters are the worst secret keepers.

I am most certainly a pyromaniac.
