So many things to say... but I'm soooo laaazzzzyyyy!

Well first off, my interview went well! I know you read the post on my main blog, so I'll skip all that stuff. But I will say, it was INCREDIBLE!

NOW what should I talk about? Well.... I could discuss boys. Hm. It's all very confusing lately. I think my hormonal teenage self might be breaking out of its cage. I've been trying to severely limit my crushing lately and... it's not working. I've got two going right now and it sucks. I wish it was just a switch that you could flip off and then on after high school. X( Well I guess since there's really nothing I can do about it, I might as well tell you a little about them. I'm just gonna give you a brief description of them and then we shall go over more details face to face/phone to phone. :P Well the guys I like are both on Speech and Debate (I definitely have a type...) and they're both crazy smart. I think that's all I'm going to say here, just in case somebody I know ever happens to stumble upon this blog...

Anyways... What else is there to say? Here's something exciting, I think I might be popular. Weird right? I at least have more friends now then I've ever had before. It's craaazzzyyy. I've also been REALLY into painting my nails lately. And notebooks. And sketching. And photography. You know, the usual.

OOOOH, GUESS WHAT?? I might apply to write a play for my school!! I've been playing around with plot ideas and formatting and stuff. AAAHHHH I'm excited but also nervous and worried I won't ever be able to complete that kind of project, you know? Urgh, what do you think?

Also: I'm watching Parks and Recreation now. It's sort of my latest obsession...

Sooo how are you doing? I need lots and lots and lots of details because I miss you so much!!\

My goodness....

It's been a while since I've posted! Wow. Wellllll I actually have loads to tell you. Here are some sneak peaks in bullet point form:

• I auditioned for a role in Company today and I did really well. Which is actually very, very bad.
• I hate school so much lately. SO much. It's just so uninteresting. And I have all this stuff I want to do that I never can because of SCHOOL. 
• I am trying to think of a new independent photography project. Ideas?
• I've started reading the Fountainhead and I LOVE it. What can I say, ever since I read Atlas Shrugged I have hated Ayn Rand's views but adored her writing. It's just so good!
• I have met a..... hehhhh.... boy.... whoIthinkisreallycuteandsuperfunny. Lots to tell you, sort of, maybe. :P
• I'M GOING DOWN TO CALI TOMORROW FOR MY INTERVIEW!!! AND I'M CRAZY NERVOUS!!
• I'm eating chicken.
• Clearly, I've run out of bullet points.

Okay, I'll leave you a more detailed post later.... Bye!!

Dear Tina,

I have been thinking a lot about your play lately and I'm so sad I'll never get to see it! Life just sucks sometimes. x( I hope you had lots and lots and lots of fun!! (Not sure if it's still going on or not.. Is it?)
As for Mr. Rubix... what did he think? Did he go mad in face of the blinding awesomeness that was your costume? Haha I hope he did.... I have my own new official Mr. Rubix actually... But GUESS WHAT? HE ALSO HAS A GIRLFRIEND. WHAT IS THIS MADNESS??? Grrrrr. I bet she's a swimsuit model or something. And to make things worse she's probably smart and hilarious with a heart of gold. If I ever find out she does a better Russian accent than me.... I don't even want to postulate on what might happen. World War III at the very, very least. Oh well... Just my luck, right? I'm always into the men in steady relationships with other women. IT'S MY CURSE! Hah. Anywho, tell me all about the play and how it went and what exactly it is that you wore, etc... I can't wait to hear!

xo,
k

ps. AHHHH. AHHHH. AHHHH. I read "Flowers for Algernon" a week ago and it was brilliant!!! Have you read that book? I can't remember... If you haven't, you MUST. I command you. But just so you know it's verrryyy verrryyy sad but at the same time it kind of isn't... but it is... but it isn't... you'll see. Oh and spoiler alert: Algernon is a MOUSE. And he DIES. Just felt like ruining that for you. (I started thinking about that girlfriend having a better Russian accent than me and I just had to take my rage out on someone... :P)

pps. Heh.You see what I did there? With the title? You see what I did there? YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE??? B)

ppps. AHHHHHAAAAAAA! :D :D :D I went on google images to find a picture that could accurately portray the expression I had on whilst writing my post post script about the title and I found this... At first I laughed so hard I thought I might cough up my tongue or something, but then I stopped and I looked at it for a lonnnnnnnng time...... 

And now it's really creeping me out. To quote Kenneth, "Is Spongebob Squarepants supposed to be terrifying???" My answer to you, Kenneth, is yes. Yes he is.

Seriously Eloise. Look at it. Look at it hard. I am quite certain there will be no sleep for me tonight, for fear this spongy demon haunt my dreams. And you?

The hunchback speaks

OH my god.... Oh my god... Oh my god... Oh my GODDDD. You can't see it, but my hands are shaking as I type this out. I'm SOOO TIREDDD. My family just forced me to go out on this exhausting bike ride and I had to use my new bike for the first time ever and it was pain of EPIC PROPORTIONS. There are bruises on my butt, dead flies in my stomach and despair in my soul... It turns out the bike is great, but the seat hurts soooo bad and I'm not used to riding that kind of bike where your seat is level with your handlebars instead of below. And I think I may now be a permanent hunchback.
OH and btw when I say "my family just forced me to go out on this exhausting bike ride", I mean my family forced me to go out on a bike ride FIVE HOURS AGO and I JUST GOT BACK.  AAGGGHHHhhhhhh.
Please...
Please...
Please...
Plllleeeeaassseee... PUT ME OUT OF MY SUFFERING!! D:

In which I use too many capital letters and almost brake my keyboard.

ELOOIIISSSEEEE!!!! MY FINALS ARE FINALLY OVER!!! AND I WENT SHOPPING YESTERDAY AND BOUGHT SUPER AWESOME STUFF!! AND MY 365 PROJECT IS OVER TODAY! AND I GOT AN EMAIL FROM BROWN UNIVERSITY. BROWN UNIVERSITY!!! AND I GOT AN EMAIL FROM STANFORD ABOUT A GIFTED YOUTH SUMMER CAMP THINGY! AND I FOUND YOUR MASCARA IN MY MAKEUP BAG WHICH I WILL RETURN WHEN EITHER I OR JUST MY MOM VISIT YOU SOON! I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M STILL USING ALL CAPS.

A little too much? Nahhhhhhh.

A new blog?????? GAAASSSPPPP.

HELLLOOO!!! It's been so long since I've posted, but I have a good excuse! That you already know actually, so I'm going to skip typing it out because I'm laazzzzyyy.
Ooooohhh, GUESS WHAT??? ..................I'm kind of considering making another blog..... Heh heh. Probably a tumblr, where I just post awesome, thoughtful, hilarious, philosophical, and beautiful quotes from amazing literature! What do you think? I think it would be fun and a great excuse to read through all my favorite books again... What do you think? A good idea? Let me know. ;)


So what's goin' on with you?

OMG, also: I might get to come up again for another visit later in February!!! We'll see. :D

I'm not crying anymore!!!!

ELOISE, GUESS WHAT???? AAAHHHH!! I'm happy. :)

I really need to talk to someone about my happiness so I'm going to talk to you! I've been trying really hard to not discuss this stuff with my friends at school because it kind of sounds like bragging to me, but since I've known you so long, I know you'll understand, plus I really want to tell you and get your opinion!!
As I may or may not have told you, I took the PSATs early a little while ago, because my school is just weird. I was super nervous at the time cause I was convinced somehow I'd do worse on them than the actual SATs that I took in 8th grade, but in the end I kind of did really well. I scored in the 99th percentile of my grade (:D) and something like the 98th percentile of the next grade up (though in the back of my mind I keep thinking: 98th??? Definitely room for improvement, idiot.) What can I say, the little voice in my head is kind of a bitch.
Anywho, after I got my scores back I kind of forgot about it... until Thursday. All of a sudden, a bunch of my friends started telling me about emails they had gotten from colleges about their scores, and I was super sad because I hadn't gotten any!! The little voice in my head kept saying, "Wow, you haven't gotten any recruitment emails? Obviously no colleges are interested in you. Have fun working at a gas station for the rest of your life..." To which I feebly responded, "But... But... I know for a fact I got better scores than them! I should have at least a couple emails!! Right? D:"
And so for the rest of the day I was utterly depressed. Then, I got home and I went on my computer, all ready to drown my depression in instant netflix, when the screen turned on and it was open on my email. BEHOLD!!! College recruitment emails!!! AHHHH!! I was all "OHMIGOODNESS, EEEEK SO HAPPY! THE WORLD OF COLLEGES DOESN'T HATE ME!", while my little italics me was all "...Really? You got all upset over not receiving any emails BEFORE you actually checked your inbox? Stupid..."
But even bitchy me couldn't ruin my happiness. Okay, I know it's not actually that big of a deal, but I'm still over the moon about it. One email even told me that I should skip the next two years of high school and start college early! Obviously I'm not going to do that with IB and all, but it was still a great boost to my self esteem, which had been lacking for a while now. :)

Here is a list of the colleges that have contacted me so far (!!!):

• Colorado State University
• Carleton College
• University of Chicago (!!)
• Kenyon College*
• Colgate University
• Macalester College*
• Olin College of Engineering
• Williams College
• Whitman College
• University of the Pacific
• Barnard College (!!)
• University of Denver
• Bard College
• Swarthmore College
• Dickinson College
• Washington University
• St. John's College
• Lewis & Clark College (!! I actually talked about L&C with your dad the other day...)
• Emory University
• Case Western Reserve University
• Creighton University
• Willamette University
• Colorado School of Mines
• University of Portland
• Mills College
• Seattle Pacific University
• Fordham University
• Boston University (!!)

ISN'T THAT EXCITING??? AAHHHHHH! 

* These two had the COOLEST recruitment emails... Like ever. 

This was part of Kenyon College's email:

RIGHT??

And then the email for Macalester College was just a picture of an orange with a purple space background and an arrow in the middle under the words  "peel here". 

When you click it.. guess what happens? I'll tell you: a giant orange hurtles into space, unpeels itself to reveal the Earth underneath, and then it looks like this:

And then it looks like this:

And ALL of this happens while hilariously dramatic music plays in the background. It's pretty great.

Conclusion: I feel a little bit better about my future. But now I have to stop thinking of colleges because the harder I actually think about it all, the less happy I feel... My god, life is stressful.
