School, Sprouts, Russian, and Rubber Bands.

So, I'm getting braces. And I basically want to die. Let's not discuss the particulars. Just know that it's probably the worst time in my life I could possibly end up with those. I used to want them when I was a kid and everyone had them. Just like I wanted glasses. Ended up with those too, just last year. Way later than everyone else. Now it's senior year and I'll have metal for the whole year-prom, graduation, and then through my first year of college.

StillUpAt3AM (2:37:30 PM): maybe i'll just wait a year to go to college -_-
StillUpAt3AM (2:38:01 PM): i'll go travel the world where no one will recognize me and my braces.
StillUpAt3AM (2:38:02 PM): -_-
this is faux pa (2:39:18 PM): lol
this is faux pa (2:39:21 PM): that's so overdramatic.
StillUpAt3AM (2:39:25 PM): i know. :3
StillUpAt3AM (2:39:28 PM): *laughs* XD

Thankfully, Collins always knows how to cheer me up :3

StillUpAt3AM (2:49:53 PM): i had ihop for breakfast.
StillUpAt3AM (2:49:56 PM): fuck me, it was good.
this is faux pa (2:50:06 PM): hahaha i love ihop
StillUpAt3AM (2:50:12 PM): me toooo, man.
StillUpAt3AM (2:50:28 PM): i had an argument with my friend about wether it was SEErup or SIRup.
StillUpAt3AM (2:50:45 PM): and then we asked the waitress and she was like 'fuck if i know.'
this is faux pa (2:50:44 PM): sir up!
StillUpAt3AM (2:50:49 PM): sirup all the way.

Speaking of college, I went on a campus tour of Bradley with Kelly, her parents, and my mom the other day. It was-...all right. I wasn't impressed. It was out in Buttfuck, Nowhere. The campus was ugly. The only thing that held promise was their Academic Exploration Program, which allows you to enter as a freshman with an undeclared major and offers opportunities to take classes which specifically teach you about the uses of certain degrees you might be interested in pursuing. I'm going to apply there because not only is early application free...Scholarships abound at that point. Can we sayyy..."safety school"? >.>

Kelly slept over that night so she could go on the boat with us the next morning. We had so much fun. I love that piece of shit old boat. I love the feeling of flying. So many memories. Then Sunday Kel picked me up in her goddamn mustang convertible ;__; and we went over to Ari's for food and movies. Ari's condo is fabulous. It's trendy and beautiful. There were pebbles in her bathroom sink. I want to live in a place like that. We ended up back at my house to watch "Everything is Illuminated" :3 My latest cinematic obsession. Look it up on IMDB and RENT IT, for chrissake, if you've never seen it. It's set in the Ukraine :3 The land of my people! :O

I've decided to learn Russian. My grandmother speaks..seven or nine different languages, I can't remember. But she's originally from the Ukraine. XD I've picked up three words over time and a few letters. Are you ready..? 'Da', 'spacieba', and 'karova'. 'Yes', 'thank you', and 'cow'. XD I lied. I know one more. 'Kartoshka'. Potatoes :3

Potatoes! Speaking of potatoes and other things that grow! My plants are growing! :D


Mum bought me this the other day. It's a Hen and Chicks. I love them :3 They spread like mad, with cute little offshoots XD So neat.


My bean plants arrising from the soil :3 They started sprouting up only yesterday.


What's left of one of the beans I planted. Just the hull after the plant broke out ^_^


The alyssum have been up since the 21st. They're multiplying, though. Still no sign of the daisies there in the center.


And last but not least...My favorite. A Velvet Queen Sunflower. S'gunna be sooo pretty ^_^

Well. Closing out with a quote by Henry Miller, an American author whose bold writing helped pave the way for what Wikipedia calls "the Sexual Revolution" :3 Definitely a man to be honored.

"All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without the benefit of experience."
--Henry Miller
