pachyderms

I'm a lot like an elephant. I guess, in only one way though. I have a super good memory! If you tell me to turn right, I'll look at you and say, "which way??", but if you mention that you once liked such-and-such four years ago, I will remember that forever. It's a little creepy. Ask the people I text! Also, elephants are just cute! They can be old and wise looking or whimsical, like owls.

 Gah, so much love for elephants! A friend of mine actually gave me an elephant stuffed animal for Christmas and her name is Queen Peanut Mousie. I call her "you cute little fuzzy precious cuddly squeezy huggable thing you" for short. I'll get a picture on here of her later.

 So, I went back to school this week, after completing 3 weeks of chemistry and the midterm in two days. *Ahem* Saturday and Sunday. Enough of that.

I think I start too many posts with "so". Not a problem actually.

So this is going to be a topical post about ice cream. That sounds so dumb. But really! I love ice cream! Who doesn't? I was missing summer today, and saw a lot of interesting photos on teh interwebz that had to do with ice cream, so here goes.

It worked! I'm using Firefox by the way, in case you were having the same problem. Now doesn't that make you wish for summer? I love how different each one is.

2013

Blogger is being weird and not letting me upload pictures, which is bad because I almost always have something to show you guys. I have a few topical posts planned and a super exciting surprise anyway!

How about an "I'm excited for 2013" post then? I'm so late too.

*goes to read journal post form Dec. 31* What?? It's not there! Um, for some reason, my computer (BAD computer!) decided that my hopes/goals/wishes for 2013 were not worth saving. I'm sad. I'll wing it. The three catagories are mixed together.

someday...

I will own a miniature pig. Not a baby one, that would grow up on me and leave the nest/get ugly, but a little one. I will name him Pilot. You know, so he can be a flying pig. *snickers*

Squeeee! So precious! If you didn't giggle or squee with cuteness overload, you are no human. Go find some robot friends...or Spock.

Live long and prosper, piggies!

explosions and sir cat

I got tolded to post more. So I am. Going to, that is. I went to see The Hobbit at the midnight showing! I had a slightly enjoyable time, but the movie was awesome. I won't let my surroundings shape my mood. The night after that I went to a Christmas party, which was fun. Today I went to my first homeschool team basketball game! It was fun and they played well. I'm heading to another party tonight at the house of my dear sweet friend whom I have known forever. And I literally mean forever. Sunday, we have a wedding shower and another party at my house. It is insane. But fun. *sigh* the holidays.

So, that's that, but I am ignoring that fact so I can wake up and work out. I've gained enough fat-weight so that I can start trying to get some strength, stamina, and muscle. I'm gonna work with my parents personal trainer, who is soon to be mine. I'm pretty pumped, then booom...

  ...I will be gorgeous! JK, but I will be able to run upstairs without losing my breath.

This cat is my inspiration. I will the lady-version of this Sir Cat. Isn't he boss? I'm in love.

This made me laugh out loud! My dad isn't bad about this, but significant looks often get passed around because I love my friends who are dudes and talk about them.

Should I grow my hair out? It won't take long because it grows mega fast. Thoughts?

There, that wasn't too bad. I put together a post in a short amount of time. I'm so good!

Love y'all, billyBobjoe Fred

PS Fred? Why'd ya call me Fred? I don't know.

the end of the world

You guys! I'm embarrassed. I haven't posted in forever, yet y'all have pushed me over the 10k views mark!

NaNo, you ask? Yeah, that didn't happen. It wasn't that I was too busy even. My muse didn't show up to work and left me with no inspiration or ideas. I like the idea of my story, but fantasy is much too deep for my writing skills as of now.

Speaking of writing skills, I got my PSAT scores back. I was super worried, feeling that I had done better than last year, but still not good enough. Without saying numbers, I did really well. It was all God. I won't know if I am a National Merit Semi-Finalist until September, so until then I guess I'll just work on my ACT prep. Gosh, so much college prep. I literally asked my mother whether everyone is this young when dealing with all this junk. I don't feel old enough to need to care, but I really do feel the importance of my grades and scholarships and such.

I have gained weight and grown half an inch in the last 5 weeks, so that's encouraging. I'm strong enough that I'm going to work next semester and be in the Spring musical with Cast N Crew! I'm so glad.

So, we have 9 days 'til the end of the world. What are you going to do? I personally don't think that anything out of the usual will occur on that "fateful" day, as evidenced by all the importance I was giving the things I wrote about up ^ there. I'm going to continue to buy Christmas presents and look forward to the day when my big sister returns from India, with more than the usual amount of crazy dancing, just in case.

I've never been afraid of the end of the world or death. Because I am a Christ-follower, I believe in His promise of Heaven and the Revelation of the End found in Scripture. I have nothing of which to worry.

I'm just glad that The Hobbit is coming out first.

See you on the other side,

nano '12

Really? Am I nuts? Yes, I'm doing NaNoWriMo again this year. I try to tell myself that I won't aim for 50,000 words or that I don't care very much, but I know how competitive I am. I was originally going to just write every day, not actually shoot for a novel, but that wouldn't have ended well, and an idea happened to hit me, so I'm gonna run with it.

The gist is souls and their relationships to those that control them. If that is vague enough, then I have succeeded.

Anyway, I'm going to do that, while trying to get healthy and eat better and sleep more and complete my Jr year of school. HAHA! I have my inspiration, now only for a plot and some characters... Oh well, a bunch of you bloggers know how it is. I would apologize for my future absence from the blog, but I should probably start with apologizing for my past absence! I may or may not be around. Heck, maybe I'll be posting every day in order to procrastinate! It wouldn't be the first time.

If you feel led to send me encouraging messeges and notes this month, I wouldn't be offended.

Well, the Guilt Monkey is telling me to run! tah tah! ~billyBobjoe

PS My whole writing group promised to put one character named Billy Bob Joe in each of their novels! So fun!

minimalist posters (part 4)

If the previous set of posters were "girlie", I guess these would be "boyish", but no boy or action flick lover would be happy with that title! I just like things to match and be all lined up. Unofficially, these are the action flicks and one all-around beloved comedy.

Like the colors. All the characters, but still retains that simplicity.

This was a good movie and I like what they did with the poster.

I watched this opening night at a party. It was a little more violent and gory than I was used to, but Han Solo and James Bond! Sooooo....

I can't waaaiit!

So hilarious! I've heard this quoted my whole life.

shells and tropics

Sometimes I get so drained that I feel like just a shell. At least I'm supposed to be eating a ton, so I'm not guilty about the giant snack and Tropical Smoothie Cafe...

Things get so often described as being like the "eye of the storm", but I'm here telling you that I'm at the stormiest part, but where you can see the sun peeking out in the distance. I just have to press through to that point. I keep realizing that it will get worse, then it will get better. I'm not grumbling, just thinking and reminding myself.

It's like I know what to do, just won't bring myself to do it. It's dumb.

Well, enough of that. This is my 75th post! *rejoicing*

listening: Oh! Darling by: The Beatles

reading: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by: Stevenson. This is a re-read for school.

minimalist posters (part 3)

Part 3 consists of "girlie" movies. Two of (500) Days of Summer, which I have not see, but want to, because it has Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and two Audrey Hepburn movies. Roman Holiday is the only one of these that I have seen. The color scheme is amazing and unintentional. Almost everything in 500DoS is blue, in order to highlight Zooey Deschanel's eyes, the director said.

*sigh* So darn cute.

Okaaayy, I'll do a real post next! I think I have 7 parts in all...
