"I Will Not Bow"

"Watch the end from dying eyes, now the dark is taking over

Show me where forever dies

Take the fall and run to heaven

All is lost again but I'm not giving in

I will not bow, I will not break

I will shut the world away

I will not fall, I will not fade

I will take your breath away"

-I Will Not Bow, Breaking Benjamin

This is such an amazing song...I love Breaking Benjamin... a lot :) For a long time, one of my friends was trying to get me to listen to them, but I really didn't want to, and just stuck with my pop and country...Now I am a pop..country..hard rock..Rap lover..haha XD :D

You know you have a good friend when they are willing to come over to eat chocolate and watch Winnie the Pooh with you because you are not feeling 100% :') Gosh, I have the beatest friends :) I don't feel like I deserve them :') (I love the Winnie the Pooh movie.haha) XD I mean...What kind of teenager offers to find Winnie the Pooh and come over and watch it with you?? An awesome one :')

I'm going through times in my life where I gotta wear this face::

Determined face...

I would really appreciate some prayer right now..:)

Things have definitely been better than they are right now..But I'm sure it'll all be over sometime soon...Can't say I'm not looking forward to it :P

I am kind of tired of crying..and feeling depressed..and just things not going well..I'm tired of saying "Im alright........." every time someone asks me how I am..and I am so tired of drama....Really tired of it.. 

But all the rough times really shows who your friends are..From really great hugs, to late night chats, to just coming over to watch Winnie the Pooh...It shows the greatness of chocolate, and the lameness of  bad chocolate..Which..I have a bar of it now..and I dont wanna eat it!!!!! :P

I have eaten so much chocolate lately I have been feeling less human and more like Augustus Gloop  :P

Well..Ok...After seeing this picture I feel slightly better about myself..:P 

I'm not getting it all over my face...and its not hanging out of my mouth like I'm some kind of over fed cow that cant fit anymore...:P So..Yep:P

And now some pictures to make you happy :)
Aww!!!!

(pictures via http://pinterest.com/)

I am a Pinterest addict :) :)

And this is so true..

This is true. I tried to tell one of my friends this..haha :P :) They just said "AHH!! Too many words for me to handle!!" They're lucky I love 'em so much ;)

I love this picture.

Haha! So true!!!!

I love Fruit Loops..I love how colorful they are..:)

I hope that made you happy ;)
So..
Question of the post!! :D
(that sometimes has something to do with the post..and sometimes doesnt..)


What do you think the "perfect day" would be??


I think the perfect day would be to go to Oaks Park with some friends (or just one special person..call me a sap..But whatever..haha) After going on the rides (going on the Farris wheel for the first time! I decided I gotta do that with my guy..haha) I would think it would be fun to just go and watch a movie after that :)
That's what I think would be the perfect day :)
Well..
TTFN!!!!

Life is pretty great:)

This post made me happy...Happiness. Actually, that's just a great blog in general and you should check it out ;) 

I'm really not sure what to say here..But thanks for the comments on my last post..It really made me happy :')

I found out a few things the other day..

1) As much as I hate crying..It really does help..

2) Good friends are really great things

3) I love this little girl so much. and she is an amazing cuddler..When she wants to be..:P

4) I miss California.

 And the Beach

5) Fruit Coctail straight out of the can is something great.

7) I want chocolate

So maybe life isn't all cupcakes and happiness?? But that's life..Riiight? :) It makes things like glitter, chocolate, fruit cocktail, hugs and friends even more amazing :) 

I watched V for Vendetta, The Book Of Eli and Zombieland all recently. There were times in the last two that I covered my face...Zombie Clown? Nuff said. 

Well, I had better go now..I've got things to do! (School work and making dinner..cleaning the house and babysitting..)
I love this song...
<3 :)

I miss having speakers and want to play music right now...

Bye!! :D 

::hugs::

Love you all!! :D

Question of the post!!

(that sometimes has something to do with the post, and sometimes doesn't..)

What is your favorite thing to do when you are feeling down?

There are quite a few things I like to do..But my favorite thing is to eat a lot, talk to friends and read Calvin and Hobbes while listening to music...It helps :) 

Whats youuur answer? ;)

My besties and I in the world of 2012:)

I've been thinking back about how much has changed for me this last year, there have been some really hard days, and some of the best days of my life. There have been tears, and like..stomach hurting laughter. Some of the changes have been for the better..and some I think I could've done without..But without me really realizing it,have probably been really good for me. 

There have been friends that I have gotten to be closer to than I could have ever expected..and there are friends I have lost. There are new people I have met, and people that have been there for me for years.

 I love you all!! 

My friends are the best people in the world. They make me scream, laugh, cry, worry, dance and go absolutely crazy :) I dont know what life would be like without them :D I remember when I didn't have any friends..But now I have more friends then I could have ever imagined! And I love every single one of them!! :)  They make me feel so loved, and so happy :) :D <3 

And who are these amazing friends you may ask?! (or maybe you're not..I'll tell you anyways) ;)

I know that 2012 (that still sounds weird to me..) will have its good and bad times, but I have a really good feeling about it anyways:) I've got my amazing friends that are always there for me :)

So, Hello 2012! I know I should have said that on here about 17 days ago, but I was too busy saying goodbye to 2011 ;) 

I got to cross a lot of things of my bucket list, and I'm happy I got to do those new things :) From going to California for the first time to having frozen yogurt for the first time this year has been great :) 

My mom and dad have been the best, and the rest of my family have been here for me so much, from sitting with me and helping me through algebra to threatening to punch various guys.... My family is epic ;)

So thank you all for making my life wonderful :) :) <3

I'm gonna be really busy with various things this year! We are working on getting me to go to Debate Camp at Patrick Henry Collage in June! Ohmygosh. Me..In Virginia. All alone?! It'll be a whole new experience that will be both thrilling and exciting! :D That, and the fact that I am most likely going to Salem in April for Teen Pact (its on my 16th birthday!) I am also going to be doing some book club my mom told me about, and various classes that I am going to be taking for High School Credits. :) 

I am currently working at my school to get my grades up so I can possibly try and get into Patrick Henry (Oi! Its a great collage..and super tough to get into, so don't judge if I don't make it) If I do make it, I will be working on Debate, Journalism and possibly a couple of other things. 

Well, I've got things to do!

So..

TTFN!!

;D
