This Kid Just Died. What He Left Behind Is Wondtacular.:

Need a good cry? I don’t quite understand the title of the video but… it’s a good story if you have 20 minutes.

I've never had a photoshoot.

Mon, 13 May 2013 14:26:03 -0700

I didn’t get to take senior photos in high school (still bitter) and I have only taken one family photo under an age that I can still remember the process.

I guess Seth took pictures of Will and I last spring but I don’t have those photos.

Plus. Standing in front of a camera without any direction at all is really unnerving.

“Opportunist” photography is only great if I’m already engaged in something other than standing in front of a camera…

My parents. I love them so much it makes me want to cry.

What a strange thing to feel…?

Bwahhhh! <3

So I was googling graduation hat decorations..

I want to give a shout out to my mom and dad but I wasn’t sure how to do it creatively or artistically….

When I came across this photo.

Priceless.

And terrifying.

But mostly hilarious.

Summer is my least favorite season.

This is the one time I hope that an article is misinforming its audience.

This is the one time I hope that an article is misinforming its audience.:

Anyone who’s been to Abercrombie & Fitch in the last few years has probably noticed that they don’t carry XL or XXL sizes of women’s clothing because they don’t want overweight women wearing their brand.

This just makes me sad.

Today I can say I was hotter than you.

Night anxiety

Sun, 05 May 2013 03:05:17 -0700

I’m sure being on weekend duty didn’t help but I’m still awake and it’s 3am.

Whenever Will doesn’t stay the night I find myself sleeping with Pat Canda on all night.. and I leave the hallway light on. Doesn’t decrease the amount of terrifying things I imagine, though…

Regardless if Will stays over I get really anxious around bed time. Itchy, restless, constant urge to stretch… etc.

It’s only getting more and more uncomfortable and I’m not sure what I should do.

Jason Collins Is the Envy of Straight Men Everywhere by Sherman Alexie - Seattle Features - The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper:

One of the best articles I’ve read in a while!

It's days like today that make me realize how much I'm going to miss these people.

Even if I feel like we all don’t really know each other that well, there are times when I enjoy the company so much that it doesn’t matter.

Well good to know that Eugene is safer than Spanaway. All those purple/white squares on the bottom picture are parks and schools in Eugene.

Also, the top picture just proves that Parkland truly is scarier than Spanaway.

So wonderful.

Day one of Humans vs Zombies and I didn’t survive.

Surprise, surprise.

So tonight in about 2 minutes I tried out my zombie transformation for my meeting on Wednesday. It’s a themed meeting. I’m going to wear my survivor outfit regardless of my zombie appearance.

By the way… pink lipstick is really hard to get off of your face.

This article compares gay in vitro to Objectsexualism.:

I understand that some people may not want their tax dollars going toward in vitro for people who are technically not actually infertile, but to compare that situation to someone who wants to marry the Statue of Liberty?

Man. I really dislike people sometimes.

Oldie butt a goodie.

Oldie butt a goodie.

Things I want to do and things I am doing are so vastly different.

Sun, 07 Apr 2013 21:10:09 -0700

Things I want to do:

Spend a week in Disney World
Travel the country via VW bus
Travel the world
Hike family-friendly paths at Mt. Rainier
Ride my bike as far as my legs will go; camp out
Absorb what I’m reading
Vacation in Hawaii
Volunteer at an animal shelter
Make true friendships
Go on an all expense paid shopping spree
Nap in a hammock

Things I am doing:

Sitting on my ass in front of my laptop
Reading for classes
Holding the hands of freshmen in college
Biting my tongue in the presence of everyone
Studying for graduate school required exams
Paying too much money for what feels like a mediocre education
Rushing myself into the professional, working world
Judging others and harshly judging myself

There is a small part of me that wants to graduate and disappear for a few years. Maybe become a flight attendant? Travel the country and experience new things.

But the other part of me knows I’m too conventional to take any social risks like that. The part of me that knows I need to go to school, get a career, buy a house, and live the stereotypical life is much louder than the part of me that wants to escape everything so I often forget that voice even exists. When I hear it though, it echoes around until I find my path again.

This uncertainty will pass; it always does.

This just in: Food is trivial.

Lifestyle change

Fri, 05 Apr 2013 17:27:01 -0700

Lifestyle changes are always going to be more difficult than dieting; dieting points to short-term weight loss goals. While I’m definitely aware that making a lifestyle change is anything but easy, I am having a hard time justifying making the change right now.

Granted, I was beginning to think my asthma was coming back, and I was hungry all the time, so I knew I needed to make some changes - and I have! But the fact that I have to cut out everything that I love in the world that is food just makes me so sad…

I don’t want diabetes (or asthma for that matter), but I don’t like having to give up things that I love.

From ciabatta bread and chocolate, to pizza and cherry coke, and all of the wonderful things in between (curly fries, milkshakes, scones, Gardettos), it has only been 6 days and I’m feeling taste-deprived.

Eating healthy is boring.

And I’m suddenly tired all of the time.

I will say that I have been sleeping better and not getting as hungry throughout the day. Those subtle changes are fantastic! But I can’t seem to justify those changes with the weight of giving up all delicious things hanging on the other hand.

Being healthy should be enough motivation for me to stay healthy. Does this make me a stupid selfish person for just wanting to eat everything, always?

Lazy and selfish.
That’s what I’ve decided I am.

I've found that there are actually 3 things that are uncomfortable to talk about: Religion, politics, and financial situations.
