TWO-OH-ONE-FOUR

Marissa here! Really should be doing homework. But you know how it goes. I'm not really sure what I'm doing right now, so bear with me. DONE.

Did you have a resolution last year and did you keep it?

My resolution from last year... I don't exactly remember what it could have been. It probably had something to do with Luis, and probably losing weight. Neither went according to plan, I'd say. But it's all well and covered with buttercream frosting.

Do you feel bad about not keeping it? 

Not in the very least. I probably should feel some remorse for either subject. But I've been to hell and back. So nope.

Favorite song: 

Honestly, my favorite song has to be My Dear by Matty Mullins (Video down below). 18 by One Direction is also one of my favorites as well. 

Most annoying/least favorite song: 

Oh dear. This one has to go to Fancy by Iggy Azalea. My mom absolutely loves this song. BUT IT DRIVES ME UP A WALL I CAN'T STAND IT.

Favorite actor/actress: Actor-

Mmmmmmm. Colin O'donoghue of course. O' Captain. My Captaaiiiinnnnn. I know that I technically didn't meet him until 2015, but daaammmn. I can't just pick anyone else. YELL AT ME ALL YOU WANT SUCKERS.

Actress- 

Jessica Lange for sure. For those of you who don't know, she's the main evil lady from American Horror story. She plays every part she does so well. And I just love her so much. 

Celebrity crush, or anyone in that realm of people you don’t know but desperately feel the need to touch (can be more than one, I understand):

MARKIPLIER.

Something new that you got into this year: 

I got into quite a few things this year. It's been a hell of a ride. For example: I expanded my realm of music to chillstep, some dubstep, and other things like that. (If you don't know what chillstep is, I highly recommend it for homework.)

Something that you moved away from: 

Does being desperate for a boyfriend count? I kind of got over the idea that I NEED one for survival. I kind of just want to do me right now. I mean, if a cute guy adored me and wanted to hold my hand, I'd be silly to turn him down. But I'm not waiting in the rain anymore. I'm more worried about me at the moment. 

Favorite movie:

There are so many that I absolutely loveeeeddd. TFIOS for sure is one of them, as well as Mockingjay. If I had to pick a favorite though.. I'd say Guardians of the Galaxy. Groot is absolutely adorable. 

Favorite artist:

MATTY MULLINS.

Favorite book: 

I read way too much last year. Ermmmm.. Lets just go with Eleanor and Park. OOOHH. And Anna and the French Kiss. They were both really awesome books to read! 

Book(s) you still want to read: 

Fangirl. I'm currently starting it too! So let the adventure begin! 

I also have to read the Maze Runner series..

Favorite video game/video game moment:

Being the total nerd here, I'm going to say Pokemon Alpha Sapphire. My favorite video game moment is when I found my damn horse in Skyrim after searching for it for like two damn weeks. STRAIGHT. Stupid horse was not where it was supposed to be. 

Best thing you bought:

Ah crap. I came up with this damn question and I don't even know how to answer it. My laptop! I totally forgot I bought my laptop last year. And I'm currently typing on it. I do believe I am an idiot.

^^^^^^^^^^(last two courtesy of Marissa <3) THANKS ALEXANDRIA> LOTS OF LOVE MY POTATO.

Favorite fictional character: 

My all time favorite fictional character is Link from the Legend of Zelda. We've had many spectacular adventures together. We even bonded once more through several more games in 2014. 

TV show?

In 2014, I started so many damn shows. The top three that I absolutely have to mention are: (INSERT OBNOXIOUS UNNEEDED DRUMROLL HERE) Sherlock, Dexter, and American Horror Story. They were the light in the dark tunnels of stress.

Favorite class: 

Definitely English 102. There were so many people in that class that tried to get me to talk, and it was cool that they acknowledged my major in English. They all did the best they could to help me with it. 

Favorite teacher: 

Johanna Cummings. She was my English 102 professor. I love her because she was always encouraging me to break my anxiety shell, and she helped me with anything I needed. 

Favorite thing to do/hobby:

Binge watch. For hours. AND WE ALL WONDER WHY I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANYWHERE IN LIFE YET.

Prefer to be in high school or college? 

College. I enjoy the free time I have in between my classes, and it's just a lot more.. mature. Plus the material covered in my classes is far more informative and interesting compared to my high school classes.

Favorite moment of school this year:
I don't really do much at school.. and I can't really think of anything relevant o say here. So.. let's go with my first time getting soup at my school. WE HAVE SOME DELICIOUS CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP. 

What do you miss most about high school/what do you miss least(still relevant I suppose)?
I feel like I"m repeating everything I said last year.. But the thing I miss the most from high school is having classes with you lovely ladies. 

Is Pocahontas a princess?
I'M JUST GOING TO SKIP THIS QUESTION BECAUSE YOU ALREADY NO MY DAMN ANSWER YOU WENCHES.

Who has inspired you the most this year (can be someone you know or don’t know)? 
Ermm... Errr. Emmmmmmmmmm. This is going to be super lame, but the person who kinda inspired me the most this year is myself. I talked through things with myself every night and let myself know that I can get through everything, no matter how hard it is. If I had to expand my thought spectrum, I'd have to say Alexandria. She was always there for me when I needed something or advice of any kind. 

Something that gave you hope for the world: 

My favorite Youtubers. The select few that I do watch actually give back to the community and donate to charities. They often hold events to raise money to donate as well, in which they involve their fans/subscribers to jump in and join them.

What has this world come to??
A BLACK HOLE OF DESPERATION AND CONFUSION AND HELL

Any paranormal experiences: 

Not that I can remember.. The only thing I ever questioned was when my brother's cat was staring at my wall for a whole five minutes. But she's not the brightest crayon in the box. So not really a big deal.

Show us a picture of something you created!(I don't even know why this is still here) 
I will totally upload a picture of the lampshade I painted. JUST GIVE ME A FEW DAYS TO GET THE PICTURE ON MY LAPTOP.

Favorite quote: 

"Don't be a salad. Be the best goddamn broccoli you could ever be!" -Pewdiepie

Guilty pleasure: 
Eating a whole bag of Reeses in one sitting. IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN THAN YOU THINK. BUT I DON'T FEEL GUILTY ABOUT IT. DOES THAT COUNT?

Absolute favoritest moment/event of this entire year: 

Getting to the climb to the drop in Hades with Alexandria (whilst in the first car), and singing What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction. Yup.

Worst moment:
The worst moment was the day after Luis and I broke up. Honestly, my life felt completely empty. I wasn't quite sure what to do with myself at that point in time. So I laid in bed for almost the entire day and just.. cried. But then I got up the next day and moved forward. 

Thing that got you through the rough patches (can be a song, quote book, movie, person(s), etc):
For sure Alexandria. You helped me through so much. Thank you.
And also baths. I liked to sit in the bathtub, relax, and just cry. It sounds really depressing, I know. But it always helped me through everything.

Song that makes you feel good every time: 
Girl Almighty by One Direction. THEY MAKE ME SO HAPPY. 

Bad habit you picked up: 
Giving up. Does that count? I would give up on almost everything I did. I always felt like I could never do any better.

Place you wanted to visit the most: 

Arizona. I miss my home, to be honest. I miss my sister, and I miss my cacti. They always.. stuck.. on me. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAKJBFBFFBFFHFBHCCASDFANFUFIF.

What's your proudest moment?

When I gathered my courage enough to get on Hades. HIGHLIGHT OF MY ENTIRE YEAR. ITS QUITE SAD NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT.

Emus or ostriches? 
This year, I'm going with ostriches. I recently watched a video about ostriches.. and they're quite.. fancy.

Person you were close to before, but grew away from: 
My brother. This doesn't technically count because I kinda grew apart from him when he met Sarah. But now that he's 21 and can drink.. he doesn't really want to hang out with me at all. He leans more towards his friends who will drink with him, and not his loser sister who won't even take a sip of alcohol. 

Any dreams that stuck out (like actual sleeping dreams):
I don't remember any of them! I know I actually told you guys quite a few of them though.. so YOU ALREADY KNOW.

Thing you wish you could change about this year:
Honestly, I wouldn't change a thing. Everything that happened helped me grow as an individual, and I feel better about myself because I made it through everything.

Something you would never change:
Who I am. Luis tried to change me quite a few times, but it would never happen. I love who I am and I have to say I'm a pretty chill person. 

Thing you wish you could change about yourself: 
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I AM WHO I AM AND I LOVE IT. (Although I could settle for losing my double chin. Lol.)

Thing you wish would have happened, but didn’t: 
My nephew coming over for Christmas. I was so excited to see him.. But plans got cancelled and I never did see him for Christmas. 

Someone you wish you would’ve gotten closer to:
Nobody, really. MARKIPLIER. MY BOO. I got pretty close to everyone this year. But I do wish I had at least met someone I adore (either from youtube or or one of my shows, or one of my bands). It would've been cool to talk to one of them.

Someone (or more than one) you did get close to:  
I got pretty close to all my coworkers, and I feel as if I got somewhat closer to all you guys. 

Something new you learned this year: 

I learned that ducks have corkscrew penises. Thanks Sara. It will stay with me forever.

Tell me a story, any story:
Uggghhhhh. Too lazy. I gotta think about this one.

Favorite selfie! Sounds lame, but it’s good to look at yourself and be happy with what you see:

I really loved my costume, so definitely this one.

Favorite moment while hanging out with friends: 
The entire Dells trip. ALL OF IT. I LOVED EVERY MOMENT. ESPECIALLY THE AMAZING COOKING WE DID AT THE CAMPFIRE. 

Favorite moment with family:
Pretty much all of Woodhaven. It was especially fun when we brought Chris with us and I got to hang out with him all weekend like the awesome Aunt that I am. 

Favorite holiday:  
Christmas. I loved Secret Santa for sure. That was a hell of a night. (:

"Holy canoli that was unexpected!" moment: 
That would be when I actually enjoyed going on Hades. And the continuous amounts of times I wanted to keep riding it. Holy Canoli.

Any news stories or worldwide events that left an impact on you?
Not realllllyy. I don't watch the news, as I said last year. I kinda prefer it that way. DON'T JUDGE ME.

What career path were you considering?
English and Literature. Aiming to be a writer, as most of you know. I just need to get on my ass and write some more. 

Something you did that you've never done before?
Um.. Um... UMMMMM. I can't say go on a rollercoaster cause I've been on one before. I can't think of anything legitimate to put here. WEARING A THONG. THERE WE GO. I STARTED WEARING THONGS.

Something you did that you'd never do again?
DATED A DOUCHEBAG. This is getting really aggressive. Haha.

Something you wish you would've done?
Gone to a One Direction concert. I totally wanted to go see them live last year, but the opportunity never came up for me to go. *Sad face* 

Do you feel you are the same person you were when you started the year?
Definitely not. I feel a lot more mature and more self satisfied. I love who I am now, and I appreciate everything a lot more than I used to.

What's changed/what hasn't?
My self-image changed a lot more than anything, and my lust for chocolatey goods hasn't change in the slightest. CHOCOLATE IS LOVE. CHOCOLATE IS LIFE.

Favorite conversation(if you can remember it): 
I can't even remember what I had for breakfast. I remember when Alex and I had a conversation about Evan Peters from American Horror Story. It was probably about how cute he is. 

Any days that were absolutely perfect and didn't go wrong?

I feel like a day that I slept all day fits perfectly here. For one, I slept all day. And for two, there wasn't a chance for anything to go wrong.

Did any of your goals change?
I suppose so. My goals went from: BOYFRIEND BOYFRIEND BOYFRIEND. To: LIFE, ME, FRIENDS, AND WORK. (:

Would you consider this a good or bad year, overall:
I'd say it was a pretty damn good year. There were a few ups and downs, but overall it was pretty satisfying. 

One word to sum up 2014:
BITCHES

Any regrets?
Not really. At least none that I can think of. Maybe denying that Luis was a douche?

Any resolutions for 2015?
Do me. Simple as that. NOT IN THE SEXUAL WAY YOU PERVERTS. THAT'S JUST SOMETHING I ENJOY ON THE SIDE. 

Hopes/goals for 2015:
Hopefully figure out what to do with me life and find the inner Buddha within me to discover the secret to world peace so that I can bring it forth unto the world so I become deity of the world. This way I can make my way to the top and dominate the world and make you all my infinite slaves forever. You will be treated well as slaves. I will feed you and love you and give you ice cream if you are good. But if you are bad I will make you take a time out in the corner. So don't forget the Reeses. And at this point if anyone is still reading this, good job. I'm proud of you. I shall now tell you a recipe for snakes. Just kidding. Nobody wants to make a snake. That's ridiculous. 

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you give me Reeses now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

Hiiii. It's that time of year again. When Alex gets super nosy and into your business. I posted this early so you guys had more time to get it all done. It's honestly just a little unreal how fast this year has gone for me. I remember when I returned to school after getting off of winter break at the beginning of the year. It seems like so much has happened since then but in such a short amount of time. I remember asking myself at the beginning of the year, "Will people still say hella in a few months? Probably not." And yet, here I am still, thinking everything is hella rad. Which is just a poor example of how fast this year has gone, but it's been such an eventful year. So, to sum it up, I've posted this survey again. I've modified a few things,  but it's just so hella rad from before that a lot of the stuff is the same. Okay, so I hope everyone has had not necessarily a great year, but at least a memorable one because the important events in our life, whether good or bad, are the ones that shape us and push us to be better.

Okay, here we goooooo...

Did you have a resolution last year and did you keep it?

Do you feel bad about not keeping it?

Coffee is my life-blood

Not sure if any of you (besides Rachel) are still reading the blog, but I suppose I'll still post for this week.

It's official. I have become a coffee addict. I seriously have to have a cup of coffee every morning, otherwise I get grumpy and I get this awful headache (caffeine withdrawals). I have become so much of a hot drink addict, that yesterday I ordered this Supernatural mug off of HotTopic's website. It says "Supernatural. Join the Hunt" on it, and Castiel is on it too. And the best part is when you put hot liquid in it CAS'S WINGS APPEAR.

I have been extremely tired all the time lately. It's weird. I haven't changed my sleeping habits from the rest of the semester, but maybe everything is just catching up to me and hitting me harder than usual now.

I'm borrowing one of my friend's Pokemon Emerald games, and I just beat my first gym leader yesterday. ROXANNE CAN SUCK IT.


AND THAT LITTLE SHIT STANDING NEXT TO HER IS WHAT CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO TRY THREE TIMES TO BEAT HER. BUT I FINALLY TRIUMPHED.

Anyway, hmmmm..... I bought my first ugly sweater yesterday too. The chemistry club is having an ugly sweater Christmas party, so I needed it for that. It's red and white and kinda weird.

So I come home Wednesday for Thanksgiving, but I can't leave until 5 because I have to give a speech for my speech class, which runs from 3-5. My poor professor tried canceling class so that she could spend Thanksgiving in New York, but the department said that she couldn't cancel because campus doesn't close until 5 (which is when the class ends). And she can't cancel it quietly without them knowing,  because they are going to be watching the classroom to make sure she has class.

I think I'm going to end this on that note.

Love,
Sara

Always.

After All This Time?

Ah jeez. I have seriously slacked on posting on here and keeping up with all of you and what's been going on. It's terrible, and I am so sorry. Life has been extremely crazy over the past couple of months between school, my tutoring job, the alchemist club, and trying to keep somewhat of a social life here on campus. Unfortunately these things have caused me to neglect a very important part of my life: you beautiful ladies. It is a goal of mine to get back into posting once a week on here in hopes of staying in touch better. So, here it goes. My first post of the school year.

I love my Organic Chemistry class. I am so so glad that I did not change my major and get out of chemistry last year, because I was really close to giving up on it. I just didn't like it last semester, but that's because freshman are stuck taking the boring General Chemistry classes. But I like Organic. It's interesting to see how different things react and how one little change can transform a molecule.

I definitely DON'T like Physics. One minute I'm understanding everything, and then I turn right around and it's like my professor is speaking Chinese. I'm still doing well in the class, but due to lots of hours struggling through the homework.

So, last Sunday (November 9) Connor and I celebrated our one year anniversary. It was so sweet. We got all dressed up (he wore a suit jacket and tie!), he took me out to dinner, and then we went to go see a movie. We wanted to see The Maze Runner, but it was no longer showing, so instead we went to see Big Hero Six. It's a really cute movie. It made me cry. Go figure. He's still poking fun at me for that. He's honestly the sweetest, kindest, guy I've ever meet. He's so smart, funny, honest, loyal, caring, and gentle, and I can't imagine how the last year of my life would have been if I didn't meet him. I love him so much, guys. I really do. He means so much to me, and it's been an honor to call him my boyfriend for this past year.

Right now I'm just chilling in my room watching Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Both Connor and my roommate went home this weekend, so I'm going to be spending the weekend trying to get as much homework done as I possibly can. I have a big speech (for speech class, duh), a short paper fr my CSI class, physics homework (ugh), and some reading to do for classes. But for right now, it's just me and good ol' Harry.

So, here's a music video. It's kinda sad, but I love the song.

Aw crap. I bet my laundry is done. I should probably put that in the dryer....

Okay, well, since that's done, I have one more story. Every Friday. And I mean EVERY Friday, there is a group of six or so guys that all pack into a truck and ride all around campus yelling "Happy Friday" at everyone that they see walking around, and they do this for FOUR HOURS. EVERY FRIDAY. And, since Halloween happened to land on a Friday this year, they all wore masks and threw candy at people. It was great. I don't consider my Friday complete until I have them yell at me.

Anyway, until next week!

Love always,
Sara

Hey there party people! It's been awhile, so I just thought I'd post some pics from the orchard to jump start this.

I hope everyone is having fun with their secret santa. If you're struggling, remember that you can always ask one other person for help.

Things are pretty chill with me. Just been going to class and babysitting for minimum wage. Besides that, not much else. I've been obsessing over my nephew. I told my parents all I want for Christmas is for them to put my nephew in a box so I can open it. I started crying at lunch when I told them that because it would be so amazing. I'm usually not too into kids. I love all my nieces and nephews and love hanging out with them, but with my new nephew, it's different. I just feel so much love whenever I see him. Normally I don't get really excited about them until they stop being babies, but I just love him so much. I don't want him to get any older! He started crawling last weekend, and I started crying when I first saw it. He's hurting me. My sister-in-law seems kinda jealous sometimes when he wants me to hold him, but I get jealous when she holds him. I'm always sending them pictures of him. I have so many pictures of him in my phone. Oh Goddd I think I'm gonna go over to my brother's house right now because I miss him so much. I get to see him tomorrow though! The only thing that sucks about babysitting him is that I have to babysit my niece as well. I love her and she's hilarious, but she's just not Michael. Oh God, I need a shot.

So mine and Gardenia's humanities professor is amazing. She's this older woman with the face of an angel and the wisdom of a god. I just want to sit and drink tea with her. We have a 3 hour class with her, but she keeps it so interesting the entire time. I have cried so many times in that class. HER NAME IS PENELOPE BLAKE ITS SO FUCKING CUTE OMG IM IN LOVE WITH HER. My sister has it with us and she's going to name her daughter Penelope and her son Blake. One week she asked us the question: if we were in the Louvre looking at the Mona Lisa and the only other person in the room was a little old woman and the building was burning down and you only had time to save one, would you save the Mona Lisa or the old woman? I said if it was her in the room, I would save her and not the most important piece of art in the world because she is my queen.

It is confirmed that Brooke's tennis team's assistant is super attractive. I got to see him in person and he's really pretty and really charming and I'm slightly in love with him now okay bye.

My hair is coming along nicely. It's gotten too long though so I'm probably gonna cut it shorter. Having short hair is very nice. It's much easier to just wake up in the morning, especially if I don't have time for a shower, to just shake it out and go. Sometimes, especially when I'm showering, I think that I forgot to take my hair out, so I reach up and realize it's all gone. My head gets so cold now! I always have to bring a hat to class because I get so cold. I now understand why guys leave their hats on in class. Me and my dad just walk around the house wearing hats all the time because our poor heads are freezing. And we poke fun at each other all the time, too. Or my sister will say, "You should do your hair like this..." then, "Oh wait,. You can't." They think they're so funny. I only miss it when my sister is doing her hair because she has all these pretty curls. I miss the fresh, wet curls after getting out of a shower. But then it gets dry and annoying, so I'm happy it's gone. 

I pierced my nose again. Gonna switch to a hoop once it heals completely. It hurt this time cause the guy just stuck a cork up my nose and stuck the needle through. Damn. Normally they have these small tong things to put on your nostril to apply pressure, so you don't feel anything. But I felt it. 

It's been two months since my concert..still not over it. And just like I did before the concert, I cried about it during breakfast. I will never be over it.

So, apple orchard. It was a lot of fun. Very cold. But I got donuts, so it's all good.

Rachel was the goat whisperer

 We have puppies...

There are 8 of them. 5 boys and 3 girls. Kaya had them about 3 weeks ago now. They're so pretty and I'll post more pics of them later when they get older and more fun. They're just starting to walk and only one or two of them leave the comfort of their bed. 

That's Payno. We always find him in the living room in the morning.

Their names are Payno, Tommo, Nando, Hazza, Bradford (Lil B), Lottie, Fizzy, and Gemma

Tommo. He's so chill. He'll just sleep on his back. He doesn't care.

Payno hangin' out

Gemma

Tommo staring lovingly into Sabrina's eyes.

All of them.

Bradford. He just sits there looking pretty all the time. He's the prettiest of them all and he knows it.

Marissa, your post was awesome! Wall of death D;
