10/100

THE GREATEST THING HAPPENED TODAY AND IT WAS CALLED NO SCHOOL AND NO WORK AND A DAY TRIP TO LA 

     

  These are just a couple of the pictures, I didn't use my phone a whole lot for battery reasons. I took some nice pictures though, when I did end up using my phone. My friend drove all four of us in his car and we explored both uptown and downtown parts of Los Angeles, as well as the more upscale parts of LA, such as Beverly Hills. Those houses are absolutely gorgeous, I couldn't stop drooling over them. 

All in all, it was a very adventurous and friendly day that ended with some quality time at Lollicup. Tyler actually ended up coming and meeting us at Lollicup so it was good to see him. It'd been a while since we'd gotten to spend time, if any, with him since he'd started to get really busy with both school and drumline on his plate. 

Question 10

Rewrite the end of a fairytale

Instead of Hansel and Gretel surviving the Old Witch's house, they were instead captured by her and forced to be her slaves for the rest of eternity, until they plotted to poison her in her sleep. Cannibalism was indeed recognized by the witch and so she changed her ways and decided to feast upon the sugars that her house was made of and in turn, she became obese and unable to move, leaving her bed-ridden. The children then set her on fire, and now they no longer needed to poison her.

She died.

The end. 

Skype - a staple in my diet, aka my life

As of last week, I haven't exactly been in the best mood... I went through some sad days where I didn't really talk to anyone, and shut out a couple of people. But as the week went on, I slowly came out of hiding and began to talk to a few people about what had happened, and through that, I felt a weight being lifted off my shoulders. The more I talked about it, came to terms with it, and accepted it, the easier it became to move on from my sad place and on with my life. 
 -Relationships are still something I'm trying to master, and it's definitely a work in progress! 

For the past week or so, I have been Skyping with my best friend, Thomas, who is far away in college land. Through these continuous Skype calls, I've managed to stay positive and take my mind off of what was saddening me and distract myself with basically anything. 

The other day, we streamed "AHS: Coven" and of course we were Skyping while this was happening. 
Some days, when I'm feeling low, I'll tell my story or memories just for the sake of getting them out of my head, and he just listens. He never really says much back, and I appreciate it. Sometimes I just need someone to listen to me.

He even blasted "The Whisper Song" while I was out cold. I had fallen asleep around 3 AM, and by this time it was 4 AM, so of course I heard nothing.

Our longest Skype call was 13 hours. THIRTEEN! I'm just glad I don't have to spend all my hours alone.

However, Thomas is far far away, and I have friends who are within driving distance. Usually, we spend our time together celebrating the end of the week with dinner and boba! 

This group of friends keep me afloat, so that I'm not treading waters, but enjoying the crisp air and taking it all in.
