On the Concept of... Thanksgiving

Thankgiving : the holiday where we celebrate genocide. Sounds American to me. I, for one, HATE Thanksgiving. The idea of spending seven hours crowded into a small house with family does not sound appealing to me. Forget the fact that I don't like most of the stuff we eat during the holiday. But hey. Most Americans love it. The good part of the holiday is Black Friday. This is my third favorite day of the year! After Christmas and my birthday of course. The past 5 years, me and my parents have gotten up early, and gone and blown a bunch of money on stuff we really don't need. Definatly a good holiday right? The downside of this is that I always know what I am getting for Christmas. Without the surprise, Christmas is just kinda meh for me. But this year is going to be different. I am not going shopping tomorrow. It will make my Christmas experience 100x better. But I am kind of stressing out. My mom has a style that I don't really like, and I don't want all of my presents to be things that I don't want. I am missing the third best day of the year, and placing complete faith in my mothers knowledge of what I like. I desperatly hope she remembers. So yes. Stressed on Thanksgiving. Nothing better right?

What made my day: A tiny baby falling asleep on my lap
Why?: its a tiny baby! Need I say more?

P.S. my new favorite song: You Wanted Me by David Osmond:)

On the Concept of... Pirate Island:)

Pirate Island. Has anyone heard of it? Well it's a spin off of Chuck E Cheese. But pirate themed. Its extremely lame and cheesy. The waiters dress like pirates and have fake accents. The tokens for the arcade are expensive and the games are rigged. The pirate statues are stuffed with newspaper. Its lame and tacky and cheap. But I absolutely love it. I went last night with three of my friends for the first time since last year. The last time I went, I was going through some really rough patches, with self confidence and feeling unloved. But when I went to Pirate Island, it just made me so much happier, and ever since then I have had a special bond with the place. It was so weird to go back there, and think about how much my life has changed in one year. Its scary to me that I only have three more years and then I am done. Who knew that Pirate Island could drag up all these horrible memories, and then wipe them completely away? I just love that place :)

What made my day: Adam Hirchak

Why: because he won me 1400 tickets so that I could get the squishy ball I really wanted

On the Concept of... Song Lyrics!

So I just barely wrote a song:) It is my first one since August.

                                                *Rockstar*

You know the exact shade of my eyes

you love it when I smile

those baby blues, look at me

like I'm the last girl in time

Oh Rockstar, you have my heart don't give it away

Oh Rockstar, can you take a second away from your fame

Oh Rockstar, I've never known something this great

but you don't see it too, so you're letting it fade

and boy you used to catch me

when I fell from the stars

you held me while I cried

and I loved it in your arms

but what happened to the boy

who made me fall

sweet words you said are in my head

but you didn't mean them all

Oh Rockstar, you have my heart don't give it away

Oh Rockstar, can you take a second away from your fame

Oh Rockstar, I've never known something this great

but you don't see it too, so you're letting it fade

Oh why does it have to be her?

I fell in love with you first

Oh why does it have to be you?

when you don't see it too

Oh Rockstar, you have my heart don't give it away

Oh Rockstar, can you take a second away from your fame

Oh Rockstar, I've never known something this great

but you don't see it too, so you're letting it fade

You're a million miles away....

What made my day: I was at the mall today with my best friend Nikki, and Emily. Emily had broken her ankle so we were pushing her around in a wheelchair. We walked past these boys, and they were all staring at her. It was extremely awkward so I shouted at them "DON'T LOOK AT HER SHE'S A CRIPPLE!!". Then they stopped staring!

Why: it was so hilarious!
