Awkward and Awesome: Besties

 

Awkward: 

• When she sends prank emails from your account
• When you live far away from each other
• Can't have a conversation without anyone eavesdropping
• When someone makes your friend sad, so you have to kill them and end up getting blood on your new shoes.*
  
  * Please note: This is hypothetical.
• Liking the same things DOES have disadvantages.
  Friend: Where did all the chocolate cake go?
  Me: *shrugs* No idea
  Second Friend: It's got crumbs on its jacket-sess!
  
• When one is the people person and the other one wants to hide in a corner at social gatherings and hiss at anyone who comes near them. But they want to spend time together, so....
•  Buying one of your best friends her graduation present..... three days before her graduation.#Procastination #WorstFriendOfTheYear

Awesome: 

• When you can fan girl to each other
• Spending time with each other
• Reading each other's journals (with permission, of course)
• Sleepovers!
• Looking at each other and being able to understand what we are thinking
• Which can lead to random burst of laughter (sometimes in church)
• Mostly in front of people who then think we are crazy (But everyone thinks we're crazy, so no biggie.)
• Singing along with musicals and screaming as soon as the villain in a period drama comes on screen.
  "You!"
  *Pillow hits screen*
  *TV falls off wall*
  Me: (smugly) Got 'em
• Rapid fire texts and google chats
• Might I just say "Period Drama movie marathons?" The ones where you all pile together like a stack of kittens and get all toasty and warm and your legs go to sleep, but you refuse to move?

When Your Family is Driving You Crazy....

Hello all!

Extra post today!


So my post Curveballs . Before I continue, THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR NICE COMMENTS!!! They mean the world to me.

Anyway, we were sitting around the table on Saturday, eating lunch, when my dad looks at me and says

"you know, I finally figured out what you look like with chicken pox. You look like Madam Mim."

My whole family sat there for a second and then burst into laughter. My older brother was crying, he was laughing so hard.

In case you don't know who Madam Mim is. here's a picture

Disney's Sword in the Stone is where she's from. Sigh. My family has not let this go ever since. 

My sister keep trying to get a picture of me so she can do a side by side comparison. 

                                                  ( Me when my sister tries to take my picture)

My family may drive me up a wall, but I love them for it.

Curveballs

Hi guys,

You know that saying, "When life throws you a curveball, grab a bat and swing it."

Well, life threw me a curveball back in January when I caught pink eye from who knows where. Little did I know, it threw another curveball and it took til now for it to smack me upside the head.  Clearly this time, I swung and I missed. 

You all may be a little confused right now.  All these baseball metaphors and what not.  And you are waiting for me to get to the point.  Which I will do now. 

What I thought was an allergic reaction to some medicine the dentist gave me for a tooth is actually chicken pox. 

Yep. That's right.  I have chicken pox.  I never got it when I was little (well, little-er)
But I got it now.  And let me tell you,  I am miserable. Very itchy and I am covered in pimples. 

I am glad I got it now, because of the risks of getting when you are older but I cannot wait until I am finished and done with this. 

This has been kind of a rant of the horribleishness of chicken pox. Has anybody else here had chicken pox. Comment if you have or haven't.

5 Things I Hate

1. "You're not a REAL fan....."
   
   Ummm. Yes. They are. And fandoms are for enjoyment. Are you really telling someone they aren't enjoying it the right way? Can you actually believe that you are allowed to say this? And knowledge doesn't make you a "better" fan. My brothers probably knows more about comics then I do, but they don't really care. Just because you have knowledge doesn't make you a fan. And just because your a fan, doesn't mean you have to know about every detail of everything.
2. "The people who mock girls who like comics or say they only go to watch the movies because of the lead male actors"
   
   I'm not kidding. 45% of the people who went to watch Guardians of the Galaxy II were women. And what did they "experts" say?  
   They went for Chris Pratt.
   Seriously? Seriously. For the record I went for a talking raccoon and epic sword fighting. And baby groot. And spaceships.
   
   And the guys who come up to girls and start quizzing them on the comics to see if they're a "real fan."
   
   Stop. Just stop. Nobody quizzes you on the band shirt your wearing and start asking you if you know the lead singer's favorite color or favorite subject in the second grade.
   
   So chill
   
3. Cat callers.
   
   Oh, I have a wonderful idea. You know how when your bike riding and a dog runs up and starts barking at you? You're (amongst other options) supposed to take your water bottle and spray them in the face with it. You know what I say?
   
   Next time someone catcalls you, spray them in the face with your water bottle and say "If your going to treat me like a dog, then I'm going to treat you like a dog." and then walk away.
   
   (Note to self: Carry water bottle with me everywhere)
   
   Secondary choice. Throw a doll or stick for them, say fetch and then tell them.
   
4. When you have to eat GF because your allergic or intolerant and somebody thinks your just doing it because it's popular. Like wise the people who do this. Gluten Free food is DISGUSTING. Why, WHY would you do that to yourself?
   
   
   Also the people that think you don't NEED to eat GF because your ONLY intolerant to it. Ha ha...no. Some people with Gluten Intolerance have worse reactions then some people who are allergic, They just react differently.
   
5. Teenage Boys.
   
   I don't actually HATE them, I'm just very very annoyed with them. Probably because I have encountered boys who fell under the last 4 things on this list.
   
    I know that there are nice teenage boys somewhere. SOMEWHERE. But not here. I don't know many amazingly polite teenage boys. I think I know ONE guy who I would say was a polite helpful person. And he still annoys me.

And there you have it. My happy little rant.
