I feel like writing stuff so I will! There is nothing particularly exciting going on lately for me, but since when does that matter?

I'm donating my hair on Saturday and I'm really excited about that. I've been looking up a lot of information on the people who get the hair, and how the hair is processed, and blahblahblah. I was surprised a little bit. For instance, I thought my hair would be going to someone who was undergoing chemotherapy, but as it turns out that is probably not the case. Rather, the recipient will likely be someone (under the age of 21, usually a girl) who suffers from permanent hair loss. Imagine never having had hair, or ever having the hope of growing any. Especially when you're in middle or high school which sucks enough as it is.
I don't know. I'd been having a little anxiety about what I'd do with hair so short and how much I'd miss my big curls and seeing all that information just took it away. I felt like a pretty horrible person at that point, as you can imagine. Now I'm just really, really stoked which is coooool.

Hmmm. I got my ACT scores in the mail today. I got a 27, which I can't decide how to feel about. On one hand, I didn't study hard, or exert a lot of effort into taking the test. I didn't work hard before hand and so I don't feel prideful about it. I mean, I know I'm smart, I've always been able to do things easily so why is this any different? On the other hand, intellect is something I'm gifted with. It's what I'm best at, and I've always appreciated that aspect of my natural genetics. Soooo, I beat Miko's original score by one point, without hardly trying. But. I didn't work for it. It just happened. Besides that, I need a five point increase in order to be simply and easily set by graduation (hello, free ride that I need). So I...yeah. I still don't know.

I read a PostSecret that resonated with me. It said, "Sometimes I pretend I've time-traveled to the past and am re-living my life. Time with friends and family suddenly becomes a gift, a chance to be with them once more before they're gone again. " I realized that this is actually a very cool perspective, one that does make that time more magical and meaningful. I think I've used way too many 'sensational-speaker words'. I'm going to blame this on Dr. Lawson and move on.

I wish there was some way to explain with words how much having Miko means to me. I have such a friendship and bond with him and it's incredible how good for me he is. Being close enough to touch him gives me such a breath of fresh air and I am just in awe of how sweet it is that we've spent an eighth of my life together and yet it gets cooler and more fun all the time. I hate to gush but I have to because he's something that is always there for me in my mind.

I have twenty seven and a half days of sophomore high school left. I'm starting to be thankful for it. I've been craving more and more sleep and more and more warmth and lots of Amish country (that dream has not been forgotten, mind you) and movies with my boyfriend and dresses. I just have come to the point wherein I'm stretching thin and I want more strawberry ice cream in my diet.

And with that, I am going to sleep in my warm cozy bed because like I said, I need more snoozes.

I wish I was more cheerful and less lethargic, but alas.

Miko came over today and we cuddled and kissed and talked and it was wonderful. I relaxed most of the day and watched my favorite episode of Modern Family. I have eaten, so far today, the following:
One old-but-yummy granola bar, two massive pieces of banana bread, some french fries, 3 pizza rolls, way too many jelly beans, and two beef barbecue sandwiches. Not...that bad. I guess.

Last night I went to the movies with Alex, and Katja, and Veronica. We walked into the theater and there were only THREE(!!) other people there. Two of them were teenage girls who looked the OMG WE'RE BFF'S! part. The other, get this, was a man all by himself who did not look femininely inclined and DID look about....forty. I couldn't decide if this was really weird and creepy or really sad. Because what forty year old father figure-ly man would go to the movies at 5 in the evening to see a Nicholas Sparks book portrayed by Miley-freaking-Cyrus? Unless he was suffering psychologically or very very sad. Or a gay man who has yet to come out of the closet. I don't know. I'm still wondering at it.

I don't have much more to say. I have to go to school tomorrow and the next day and then I get have two days off. Hopefully one of those days I will get to do something fun and normal with my boy. He deserves it, and I think I might too. We don't have much longer. I mean that in an only slightly sad way. Mostly I am just gearing down and trying to do it the best I can to get as much time as I can. I will face what I have to face when I have to face it, and if I can't manage I will learn how to. If I can, then I will figure out how to do more than manage. I don't know, I'm just sort of in a weird and bored mood.

I have two track meets before the weekend and I'm starting to hate them. I don't run track to compete. I run track to be fit and healthy and to socialize with people my age. I know that sounds so grandma, but I AM grandma most of the time and it's true. I know I'm not a competitive runner, especially now that I am abstaining from steroid inhalants(my inhaler; it's more fun to say it that way :)). I am running because I don't want to be overweight or develop heart disease, and even though I love my coaches, I HATE how they make the team dependent on me, when I do not place well. But alas, it's still exercise and sometimes my winning personality (bahahaa) is enough to compromise my lack of athletic inclination.

I guess I should go to bed now even though I'm not tired and I can't fall asleep until Miko calls. And South Park is on tonight so it'll be late. Haha, he's worth it. :) Shower time!!

Night!

Spring!

I am on my Spring Break which has been a very typically spring-y one. Easter has been fun with a good lunch of yummy food, deviled eggs, an Easter egg hunt, a nice Easter service, and a yummy basket full of goodies. My allergies are eating my eyes, nose, and throat, and I almost need my windows shut except we don't have our air conditioners so it's HOTHOTHOT. Gross! But alas, this is all part of the season, and it is my favorite.

Anyway, tomorrow Miko has to leave for a trip to Columbus so that his parents can look at another place they want to move to. He's going to stop in and give me a goodbye kiss and cuddle so I am excited to see him. After that, I'll drive down to Bethany's house and chill with her and Brad. I'm very very much looking forward to it, because I don't get to see her as much as I'd like since she is a married, working woman now. And I am a busy 16 year old who has to, you know, go to school. Anyway, it's always good to see her because she really is like my big sister and we always get good food, and have nice talks. Hopefully Tuesday I'll go to the movies with Katja and then spend the night at her house. I focus a lot on Miko leaving, but I have to remember that next year, she will be back in Germany, and I will miss her, too.

Noooott talking about that...
Let's see, what else? It's been gorgeous outside and I am more thankful than ever for the warmth. Winter just seemed like a real drag this last time around. I booed it the whole time, and now that the sun is back to warming(and burning, but that's another story...) my whole self, I am a cheerful lady. Oh yeah! I also bought a whole bunch of warm-weather clothes that made me even MORE stoked! Cuteness plus warm temps equals all smiles from over here.

I have truly been noticing that I am becoming an adult more and more each day. I'm learning a lot about letting things go when need be. Not everything feels like a life-changing event, and I am figuring out how to deal with the things that are. Little steps that get me a little bit closer. Sometimes, when everything has a high suck level, I may not see those little steps that I'm taking, but as I look back I do see them and it's good to focus on how much they mean.

I feel like this is a really boring post, but since I don't have any readers I guess that is okay! Oh! I am wearing my new tat! It's this super fierce werewolf with luminous eyes and hands! I love it, so much. OH! And I have a new item that I JUST HAVE TO HAVE. It's called a FlipFlap and it's a Japanese stress-relieving pot of awesomeness. I must acquire one.

And now, I am off to NettyPot all my allergens away. HOT.
