I'm havin' a thought here, Barbossa...

Here's something I find immensely interesting:

You know how you do your hair in the morning (or whenever else you do your hair...) and you always part it on the same side, and you look in the mirror and there it is! on that side. But then, you look at a picture of yourself from the same day and there it is! that part of yours is on the other side. I find it immensely interesting that I think I look ridiculous in pictures with my part on the other side, but in the mirror it looks pretty okay.

Maybe I should try parting my hair on the other side...just for interest's sake, you know?

this is a total of three grandiose things.

Breaking news:

MOM. MADE. JAM!

Aaaaaand!

MOM. MADE. CROQUETTE. GOOP!

One more thing!

MOM. IS. WONDERFUL!

collect bookoo bucks!

Addendum:
Donuts are very very sugary...especially when you haven't had one in approximately four or five months. Now I remember why I don't like them.

I enjoy the fact that I can be sorry and you can forgive me.

I enjoy the fact that I can write letters with people and still get replies back, even though we are in the supposed "Technology Age" or something.

I enjoy the fact that I don't know everything because it means there is still so much more to learn.

I enjoy the fact that my family really likes music, because I am a part of it and I can partake in that music and almost live to the beat.

I enjoy the fact that I can wake up in the morning and feel terrified and my heart is beating far faster than normal and I am curled into a ball and I glance around my room in fear because it means I have an imagination and that I dream.

I enjoy the fact that I have a family and I know them.

I enjoy the fact that I am light-hearted because it means that I laugh a lot.

I enjoy the fact that there are tomorrows and todays and yesterdays.

I enjoy the fact that I love my family [cousins (honorary and unavoidable), aunts (honorary and unavoidable), uncles (honorary and unavoidable), nieces, sisters, parents, grandparents included] because it means I can spend time with them and enjoy that they exist and that we coexist.

I enjoy the fact that there are people I look up to and can look up to.

I enjoy the fact that there is tea for cold, snowy mornings.

I enjoy the fact that people make sounds and that I can see it as sound, not just noise.

I enjoy the fact that sometimes jokes go way over my head and I think about them later (a lot later) and I finally understand them and then I laugh very hard.

hoping for no grumpiness in the morning...maybe?

I've done all I can here.

Bed time. woo!

no punctuation

this morning when I woke up I looked at my bedroom wall and was filled with an urge to rip off all the pictures and texts that cover it

im not sure why this was

grey eyes today.

Today I have no hairspray in my hair. Zero. Zippo. None. Nil. Zilch.
I kind of like it.
My hair feels soft and it's not crunchy at all......I may have to do this again sometime.

Hooray for no hair products!
