Shut up and put your money where your mouth is

Sooo I have 46 more days till I go off to college. Slightly petrifying, but extremely exciting. I will be excited to be off on my own and making my own decisions and meeting new people, but will not be excited to face the incredible work load.

Checklist of things I need to do before I leave:

• Get rid of 50% of my belongings. (My mother's wish)
• Buy dorm stuff
• Make Cady's prezzy
• Earn as much green as possible
• Take random frequent roadtrips with friends
• Get my wisdom teeth pulled
• Learn how to use a Macbook Pro
• Set up a checking account

I am beyond annoyed at how much rain we've been getting. I thought it was only supposed to pour this much in April! We're going on our fourth month of perpetual rain! This doesn't feel like summer.

Well I figured I'd update you all on what's happening in my life. I hope to get on here more frequently now that school's over with and everything. And add more to my story blog. XD

She's an actress, but she ain't got no need.

HELLO! I have been super busy these past few months. And I FINALLY got a chance to update.

So, numero uno. The 2 days I had been dreading, ended up being the best 2 days of my life....kinda. haha

My boss sold her business to this other guy and now work is incredibly fun. :D He can be a bit spacey sometimes, but I really don't mind.

BEING 18 IS THE BEST EVER!!! I had so much fun being 17 that I was scared 18 wouldn't be as great a year, but it's looking like it's going to be better than 17. I finally don't have a restricted license, I have more freedom (to an extent), and college is looking REALLY good.


Oh, and because of my ACT score, I got some sort of renewable scholarship. It's not a ton, but it's still alot. I've visited the college twice now, and I like it alot.

Graduation was fun. :D

I'll be updating my story blog in the near future. It's great to be back on Blogger!

This is the story of a girl

Roxy tagged me.

Flashback time!:

I was born sometime in the morning on the last day of April in good ol' '91. I was about 2 weeks early, and had to stay in the hospital for a few extra days. I was the firstborn of my parents, and was therefore the guinea pig. They didn't know why I was crying all the time, so they constantly fed me. Needless to say, I was a fat baby and toddler.

When I was 6 months old, I climbed out of my crib, fell on the floor, and scared the life out of my parents. XD I started walking early, and was constantly getting into trouble. Some instances were: jumping into a lake in the middle of winter, cracking my head, etc.

At the age of 5, 2 incidents happened that are seared forever in my mind. The first was probably the worst day of my entire life, and the second, is why my parents are borderline paranoid about certain things (They are WAY better than they used to be though).


At about age 8 I was a kleptomaniac. This resulted in nightmares that haunted me even during the daytime. That period of my life ended VERY quickly haha.


When I was 13, the emotional side of myself started going crazy. At one point my parents thought I was bi-polar (Don't worry, I'm not).


March 8th, 2007 was the day my misery started. It's a thorn in my being that can never be removed. I've tried and tried to forget, tried to make it work, but nothing. And in 23 days, I will again have to see the face of this person. I hope to God this person doesn't see me. Also, in 2007, I met Cady, and we are basically kindred spirits. I really don't know how else to describe it. "This is Alayna and Cady, the only way to tell them apart is by their looks." What can I say? XD


When I turned 16, I didn't feel any different, but when I turned 17, I felt a lot different. I suddenly had this mindset that "there are only X amount of months before I'm 18." This is when I really got sick of high school, but then remembered after high school comes college. I think I know where I'm going, but I'm not too ecstatic about it. I'm not ecstatic about anywhere.


Now being 18 is 29 days away. I feel old. Crap.


And so ends the flashback of my pathetic life.

I tag Shaniqua, Silv, Cait, Ellie, and Lonely Heart

I see trees, but they're all dead.

Anyone ever heard of chacha? The thing you text with questions, and they send an answer to you? Well I texted "Who is Alayna Whisper?" to chacha, and I got this answer "She has a blog on her site about being dyslexic. You can read about her life on the internet." Bahaha. Even though I am dyslexic, my blog is NOT about that.

So anyways, I went to that college with an open mind, and I still don't know if I should go there or not. I left my charger in the dorm...my roomate is supposed to be sending it to me. They have an awesome program that relates to graphics design, but it's not specifically for graphics design, and I'm afraid I won't be qualified in the other areas of that major. BUT if I did go there, I'd get a Mac book pro. :D

It's been over 2 weeks since I've seen the Fed-Ex guy, and I am beyond thrilled! haha. And the new guy at my work supposedly walked out and quit. I kind of hope he did. I miss the girl he replaced. She was nice and she and I actually worked well together. Me and the new guy didn't at all.


Sorry this blog post is so short and I'm sorry I haven't been reading everyone's blogs lately, I've been soooo busy. I barely had time to write this, but I thought I'd give you all an update. I'll try to update my story either later tonight, or tomorrow.

Drive into the river Bob.

My week without parents has come to an end. They returned from their travels. Fun, eh?


So on thursday-friday, some friends and I are going to visit this college. To be honest, I really don't know what I want to do in college. I really don't know what to major in or anything. I've only chosen graphics design because it's fun, but I don't necessarily have a great desire to go into that field. I really want to do something with music, because it's all I ever think about and I'm always putting little tunes and lyrics together (most don't get finished though). But I don't think I have enough talent to actually MAJOR in it. Another thing about college is the expense. I mean, scholarships are for the really smart people and government funding is for those who can't afford to go to college at all. And all that money is being sucked up right now. So where does that leave me?? I really want to be able to go to a college away from here, but what will probably happen is I'll go to a local college for 2 years. Yuck.


I've been obsessed with saving every penny I own as of late. My job doesn't pay much, and I now have bills that I have to pay, so I try not to waste money on stuff. I need money for college.


So, last week, the Fed-ex guy didn't visit me at all. I was absolutely thrilled. XD But as I was walking from the library I passed a fed-ex truck that was parked. And I saw the driver, and I bolted. It was him. After his last visit I do not want to see him again. I mean COME ON! Don't go on and on about not being a stalker, then ask for my freaking phone number. I'm only working 1 day this week, and I pray that he does not come in.


So I'm doing this talent thing called Fine Arts Festival, and I'm trying to decide if I should enter this song my brother and I are working on. I'm already doing a poem and a human video. We only have the melody, no lyrics yet. I'm playing with lyric ideas, but nothing is fitting yet. And the deadline is early next month! I'm freaking out here. I don't want to make a fool of myself if this song isn't perfect. So if I mess up....yeah I don't want to think about that. I try not to think about certain things. I have no time to lately, and I like it that way.


*sigh* I should probably start working on C's necklace. Who knows how long that's gonna take. Time flies, and I don't want her birthday to go by and it not be done.

I need new music. Any suggestions?

Sooo I finally got twitter. Not that I have alot of friends who actually use it. So far, I only have 2 people who I "follow." Thanks to one of my friends, my phone rang at 5 in the morning with a new update. Let me know if u guys have twitter! Or if you don't want me to have it, then um..I guess you can just not tell me. lol


I need to clean my room. I asked Cady to help me, but um....she said no. Thankfully it's just clothes I have to put away. Mostly anyways....


Ok, so I looked ahead in my English class, and I'm gonna have to read Hamlet. BLEH. My English class is so annoying. They make us translate stupid things and find metaphors that only freakin scholars could figure out! And like every other book I've had to read for this class, I'm gonna have to write how this book impacted me and what I learned from it. Um..well, I couldn't understand the book, so I guess it inspired me to drop out of school. Bahaha. Speaking of books, my uncle gave me this book series to read, and I thought it was going to be good because everyone was dying, and it wasn't appearing to be a happily ever after series, but then I got to the last book, and they somehow set everything right, and made it into a happily ever after book. AHH COME ON! Happily ever after doesn't exist! I hate books that aren't realistic. And I'm really getting sick of romances. They're all too predictable.


I really like having warmer weather, but I still want to go snowboarding. I only got to go 4 times this year. So, it can stay warm in my area, but on the ski slopes it can stay cold. Haha once I went skiing in 72 degree weather. SO awesome. I was in a t-shirt. Unfortunately I got sunburnt, but that's besides the point. How awesome is it to fly down a slope in a t-shirt? Let me tell ya, the adrenaline was PUMPIN'.


So Cady, I have decided that although you do not like the beach, I am going to teach you how to surf. You don't really essentially need to wear a bathing suit, so don't freak out. AND you can put super-duper powerful sunscreen on so that you don't lose any of your "paleness." Oh and snowboarding. You haven't tried that yet either.


I had the most odd dream ever, and I'm trying to remember it....

She's the salt of the earth and she's dangerous

Love that song. Haha.



ANYWHO, so I finally got my stupid license. Which is restricted due to not having a vehicle. Hopefully my dad is getting a new[er] car. But of course that means I'd be stuck with the crappy Bonneville. Oh well, at least it's a car.


My first time driving alone was to work to figure out where my employers got messed up with my pay. Turns out they owe me 17.95 hours worth of pay. Wierd right? But now it's settled. The day was absolutely perfect (weather wise anyways). It was like 60 degrees, sunny, and my hair was pretty good that day too.


I had an hour long nosebleed this morning. Fun stuff. It didn't break my record though. My longest nosebleed was 3 hours. Haha once I almost passed out at a theme park because I lost so much blood. Everyone was so scared. Also, I was at Six Flags once, and I was sitting in the water park with a nosebleed, and this lady walks up to me and asks "Were you the person who cracked their head open in the wave pool?" Lady, If I cracked my head open, I would not be sitting here with no one around me. I would be in the hospital under careful observation. I mean seriously. Where are some people's brains? Thank GOD I'm not wierded out by blood and the like.


Why is it that people's knees hurt when the weather is damp? I mean my knees always hurt, but that's besides the point. I have joint issues. It runs in the family.


Ok, so I really want to learn how to skateboard. I already snowboard and surf. When I was younger, my mother wouldn't let me learn because she was afraid I'd get seriously hurt. But come on, I got seriously hurt from doing random acts of stupidness anyways. Now I just need someone to teach me....and a skateboard of course...


52 days!
