Hey everyone, long time no post right? Well I'm fixing our little communication problem right now. I hope you all had a great New Year, everyone was safe and didn't do anything illegal, right? Haha no worries, I won't tell anyone if you did, your secrete is safe with me ^-^ So, did any of you make any resolutions for the new year? I know I did! I have decided that this year, 2014, I will do whatever makes me happy. I figure that is a small step towards living a better life, just trying to find little things that make me happy and letting them happen, enjoying the moment, taking a few seconds to stop and say "yes, I am alive and this life can be good if I let it be." you know? Yeah, so I figured that would be a good resolution :) A lot of my friends are saying that they will lose weight, eat less, eat right, smile more, save money, work harder, get straight A's, join a gym, find a boyfriend, or other things like that. I figure just doing what makes me happy will result in these things. I think it's a good resolution and I'm going to try and stick to it! I am determined haha
Anyway, So I am all registered for my classes, and honestly, I decided to take the easiest math class I could find, along with two history classes and a religions class. This semester is shaping out to be a ton of fun, I'm a full time student and the only day that will suck is Monday because I'll be at school for 12 hours! Ew! But I'll figure something out haha, no point in wasting gas just to go home between classes when I'll only get to be there for an hour before I have to leave again. I can just nap in the truck or something XD ah the life of a broke college student, I'm so going to steal food from everyone haha I can't wait for this semester to start, I'm seriously excited. Okay, I have things to do so I'm gonna go.
Have a great day everyone! Be safe and make new friends!
^-^ Bye

Photo Final and Christmas Terror
Hey guys so yeah, here is the late post that I promised last week haha
so my Photo class ended with me getting a C :/ sucks because I got a B on my final and I guess I had a lower grade than was posted or something so........whatever, the class is over and done, I don't care anymore I'm just happy my first semester is done with. However, I'm also really sad because I won't be able to see all of my new college friends for a whole month D: major sadface, right? It's really depressing, I know I'm sad about this. And plus now that I'm working I'll have like zero time to do anything, especially since I have a boyfriend who always wants to take me out (not that I'm complaining haha) it's just nice to think that I actually am starting to get my life together. It's kind of a nice feeling.
Now let's see how long it lasts XD
I just say that because it seems that every time my life feels like it is coming together, something happens to screw it all up again. That's just the way my life goes, every single time :( but whatever, I've learned to live with it.
So, in other news, the Christmas decorating is going alright. We put up the lights, though there are two large sections where the lights are out so it looks tacky and poorly done. I also put up the tree and decorated it with the new boyfriends help ^-^ that was fun, though he ditched me for work about half way through decorating. Loser lol
We agreed that trees shouldn't be decorated with those ornaments, there should be small gifts and such on the tree instead like there used to be in the olden days. And candy ^-^ lots of candy and happiness on the tree, not trash and paper and awkward looks glass spheres. I guess that's just my own little thoughts. Whatever though, to each their own I guess. How do you guys celebrate the holidays? I'd be perfectly fine going without Christmas, I don't like the whole gifts idea. I don't really care for surprises though. The thought of holding a package that could be housing just about ANYTHING terrifies me. I mean, yeah I know, most people won't be placing a jar filled with black widows under the tree for me to open, but then again, one can never be too sure. I mean, piss off the wrong person and a jar full of eight legged freaks could be waiting for you.
Just some food for thought haha
Have a good week and visit the blog again sometime.

Basics of Photography? No Thank You!
Hey everyone, I know this isn't my normal blogging day, but I just had to rant this out to someone so it doesn't clutter up my normal Thursday post. I have come to the conclusion that I HATE finals week. Yeah, it's just one week of testing to make sure we passed our classes and ensuring that we paid a little attention, but still. I hate it. And I have it really easy.
I can't imagine how hard this will be next semester when I have four hard classes, I mean, my classes this semester have been super chill. For our English final all I had to do was show up for the final day, hand in my essay and kick it with the rest of the class. That's it. Simple. For my Illustrator final all I did was go in, put my projects onto the main computer, go over what we did in class, get my grade and leave. I think I was in there for three minuets max. Then I went outside and smoked a little, kicking it with my buddies.
My Basics of Photography class? Yeah well that's what I'm stressing over. The teacher gave us a five page front and back study guide that we have to complete. Then we go in on Thursday for our final which is a 200 question test. I have been working on this study guide for days now and I still haven't completed it. I've come to the conclusion that I am going to fail this final because most of the study guide is about things we went over in class, not things that are in the book or in my notes (which I didn't really take, stupid on my part). I have a B in that class right now, barely clinging to that B, so this test will make or break my grade. I would seriously rather not fail my Photo final but some of these questions are ridiculous! One actually asks for the exact type of Photoshop used for the computers in our class. Others are about the photographs we edited and some are just asking what something does
(for example: Filter > Distort > Lens Correction Tool > Vertical Perspective = <does what?> ).
This is ridiculous, seriously not needed stuff. I know there is only one answer to the questions like the one above, but still...it's kinda stupid that he's asking things like that when we didn't really go over any of that. We barely did anything with Photoshop, and when we did, he baby walked us through it. We never kept track of what anything was called or what did what. I just. Grr! I'm really irritated with this and I guess you can all tell. I just have so much "Basics of Photography" stuff crammed into my brain, I think I need a break or something before I over study (if it's not too late for me, that is).
Yeah, so I'll be posting again on Thursday night after my Photo Final. No, I won't be doing the entire post on that stupid test, hopefully, I'll have other things to talk about :) See you guys then!

A Job? And A Gay Guy?? What Have I Been Hiding???
Hey everyone!!! Guess what!!!! So I've been neglecting to tell you all some very BIG BIG BIG news. I start at my new job tomorrow.
WHAT!?! Riku why did you never tell us!!! Is that why you haven't been complaining about applications??? When did this happen!?!?!
Well, my ever faithful followers, I shall explain. . . very quickly because I have even bigger news to tell you all too! Basically, my friend got tired of listening to me bitch and complain about how I can't get a job and no one wants to hire me and finally he says he would see about getting me a job at this company **** (Yeah, you guys don't get to know where I work hahahhaha sorry..) where he works. That's basically it. Kind of a boring story, I know, but still, I has a job now and I has my parents off my back about it and I has an income which means I can save up, buy the truck, be able to afford the gas and insurance, then move out (hopefully) and get on with my life! :D Exciting stuff right?
Now here is where everything just flips upside down and does 8 twists. I'm dating a gay guy. And he is so great.
So that's it for my life hahaha . . . or should I tell you more? I guess I can't leave you hanging, huh? Okay, so he is 19 and he dates guys, until he started dating me. I'm a girl. But he's not bi. He is just confused, and actually so am I. Our little situation is rather confusing and I honestly don't understand it and yes I know I just got out of a break up, my friends have all been over this with me a million times and I know I shouldn't be in a relationship right now, I need to figure out who I am, what the hell I am doing with my life and blah blah blah blah blah all that fun stuff. But this guy makes me feel happy and isn't that important? I know he likes guys, and I know I generally am into girls more than I am into guys, but for some odd reason I seem to make him happy too. We may not work out and for all I know he'll be back to dating guys again at the end of the month and that's okay. I just want to be around people who make me feel happy, people who I can let loose and just be me, real me, and do whatever the hell feels natural. Be that hitting him because he decided to bite me, or just smoking a cigarette because I felt like it. I can't do that around my friends, I couldn't do that with my ex, I just want to be free right now, even if it is free in a relationship with a gay guy. Yes, I know, it is confusing and I know it's weird, but I like him as his girly, happy go lucky, don't give any fucks, screw the world I'll do whatever the hell I want self. And he likes me for me, whoever I happen to be because hell if I know.
So yes, I start working part time tomorrow and my first official date with the new bf is this weekend sometime, he hasn't told me any details yet. Life is as exciting as ever, and with finals next week, I know things are about to get very complicated and messy. Stay tuned, and I'll post again in a week. Bye!!!

Thanksgiving Post!!! (better late than never)
Hey everyone! I know, I didn't make a post on Thursday, I'm so sorry!!! Things came up and I ended up collapsed on my bed fast asleep. I Was going to tell you all about my family traditions, but I guess that wouldn't be such a great idea since we're a pretty boring family. Sucks to be you though cause I'll tell you any ways ^-^
So I have two Thanksgivings. One with my dads side of the family, where we eat a ton of food and spend our time pretending to be normal. We generally all go to my Aunts house for a Thanksgiving lunch. I have three cousins that I know who are on my dads side. I don't really get along with any of them any more, so I spent Thanksgiving lunch the same way I have been for the past two years: sitting with my oldest sister and eating all of the vegetarian/gluten free food we can find. I used to be really close with the one female cousin, but we've grown apart over the years and I'm not sure how to help us grow back together :/ I guess it starts with just telling her about my life, right? That won't be too bad, will it??
Anyway, so then I also have a separate Thanksgiving with my mothers side of the family. I don't have any cousins on this side of the family, and my brother and I are convinced that her siblings are all way cooler than they let on. That's a story for another time though, another time and another place I guess haha
Yeah, so I have two Thanksgivings every year. It's nice if you just want to eat food all day and do nothing but eat. For me it was kinda depressing because I only got to see one sister and my family was a bit less than pleasant this year. All in all, the good outweighed the bad and my holiday was better than most.
Signing out now, hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and ate lots of food without getting too ill afterwards. Have a great day!
P.S.
I don't remember if I ever informed you all, but my boyfriend of two years and I broke up.... Did I not inform you all? Oh well, maybe I'll explain in a later post haha

Bad News: Mold. Good News: Peppermint!!!!!!!!!
Hey Blog Readers!! :D How have you all been? Me, well, I've been great. I know I missed the last post (sorry) but now I'm back and you don't have to worry about it anymore. First of all, you all need an update! So I finally got my schedule for my next semester of classes for college, full time student if I can get into that communications class! Also, my boyfriend and I broke up, it happened some time ago and we're going to attempt to stay friends, hopefully we can do it! Next, I got an A on my Photo Midterm Paper!!!!
Okay, now that everyone is all caught up, let me discuss what I wanted to. I have mold growing in my closet because there is a leak in the laundry room, which is located right next to my room. We had a contractor come and look at it, and he said that it didn't look very bad, most likely just a little surface mold that could be taken care of with a 50/50 mix of bleach and water. He is coming back next week sometime to open up the wall and double check that everything really is okay and fix whatever isn't. Thank god.
The bad news is that I have to keep my bedroom door open. Constantly. If any of you have spent any time with me at all, you'll know that I close doors, always. I hate to be in a room with the door open. I don't care what is going on, I have to close the door. Having the door to my room open is driving me up the wall, seriously you guys, I'm going crazy. Insane. Mad!!!
Yeah....on the other hand, I have some great news. PEPPERMINT. Winter is here everyone and with that comes Peppermint, the greatest thing in the world. You can bet I've already eaten more than my fair share of Candy Canes and drank more than enough Peppermint Hot Chocolate. I am in love with Peppermint. Give me any minty drink and all is forgiven. You could quite possibly kill my family and then apologize with candy canes and peppermint drinks and I'd forgive all. . . . Okay that's a bit extreme, but you get the picture haha
Anyway, I know this was short, but I have a ton to do so I can't write too much. Next week is Thanksgiving and I'll be sure to post! Until then, be safe and be happy. Bye all!

My Baby!!!! And An Essay Panic
Hey Everyone!! So my truck has been giving me problems lately (major sadface, my truck is my baby!!!), so I went with my dad and we took it in to the shop for a check up. A few hours later they called for us to come get it and the total came out to $660, which isn't nearly as bad as it could have been. For those of you who don't know, I drive a beautiful blue '92 Chevy (Woot woot!!!) and both of my sisters drove it before me, and this truck has been in the family longer than I have. Well my dad has been talking more and more about getting a new truck and selling the one we have. I say HELL NO because this truck is my baby and I have plans about buying the truck off of him after I can afford to (still job hunting, not going very well). He talks like he is going to make it so that I can't afford to ever buy the truck off of him, which would suck since the truck is my baby, I love the truck more than I love the .22 (A beautiful hand gun that I think I posted about before, if not, I'll have to post about it some time, shoots like a dream <3 )!!
Anyway, that was just a little rant, what I really wanted to say was: I FINISHED MY ESSAY!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Okay so for all of you whom I didn't text in a panic, I got an email from one of my class mates reminding me about the TWELVE (12) page essay that was apparently due today. Well, no shit I panicked and flipped my lid until around 4, I found the paper that was handed out to us (which I never read, of course) and saw that it was only a 3 page essay followed by a page of pictures and a bibliography. Since I had only a paragraph down, this didn't bother me. I wrote my essay in an hour and immediately left for my 6:00 class because rush hour driving sucks and takes FOREVER. So I get to school, I have 10 minuets until my class so I run to the Cafe, buy some food because I realize I hadn't eaten since 9 or so, then rush to class stuffing the bagel down my throat because food isn't allowed in the room otherwise you'll be kicked out. I get inside, place my essay on the pile of essays to be turned in and this noise goes off. I look around after sitting down and I look up in time to see my teacher pick up the pile of essays and put them into his desk drawer. He proceeds to say "Well, I hope you all got your essays in because I will no longer be taking them as it is now 6 and on the assignment sheet I clearly stated that any essay submitted after 6 pm will be counted as late and therefore will not be accepted for a grade."
Okay first of all HOLY SHIT I just barely made the cut. Second of all, what a jerk! He generally gives us until the end of class to get our things turned in, I barely noticed the pile of essays on the front table, there weren't any signs saying "Hey, put your essay here!" so he should have announced that he was collecting the essays before saying that as of now no more essays can be turned in. The kid next to me was waiting for him to collect the essays, he had it out in front of him. He won't take it now because it was "late" even though he was in the class before I was and was sitting there waiting to hear what was going on. So dumb, right? Ah well, such is life I guess.
