I love to draw. :)

I've recently started drawing again. :)
Ever since I was little I have always loved to draw. 
For some reason, I guess other things in life got in the way and I stopped drawing all together.
But I went to my friends house last weekend; she of course is one of my most creative friends, 
and her drawings inspired me to do it again. My friend is a wonderful artist when it comes to drawing. She's fast and makes it look good. Me on the other hand; I'm somewhat a perfectionist, 
so I take forever to draw things.I'll always envy her quick and effortless talent in drawing.

I usually like to draw mythical things like spooky mermaids, sweet fairies, elves with big hair, 
or elf like people that carry bow and arrows on their backs.
It's so much fun. :)
 

It's been a while...

Well hey there! It's spring time and summer is almost here. Got my Pinterest closet stocked up on summer outfit ideas and I'm ready to go! It's been a while since I've posted on here because well...life. I definitely have a life outside of the internet. So anyways. Lot's of things have happened. I've talked about it to much with my friends and wrote about them in my journal so many times that I don't even WANT to write about it on here. Nothing bad or anything, or not to bad at least. I'm just simply getting tired of my own story.

 I want to do something bold. I wish I was smarter, and I mean school wise. My heads always up in the clouds thinking about impossible dreams. I think about boys to much yet I can't seem to talk to them without getting butterflies. This summer I want to start drivers ed so I can get my drivers license next year. Me and dad have been practicing driving in his truck around the neighborhood and around town lately. I'm pretty good. :) Unfortunately (well pretty fortunate actually) the only license I'm getting this summer is my fishing license. I'm happy about that though.

So I should be a freshman this year after summer break. FINALLY, just sad I won't be a sophomore like I'm supposed to. I just recently realized I won't be graduating with my friends either. UGH. Oh well, life's not always fair. Especially when you don't try hard enough. I feel like I could have been a freshman this year if I tried harder. But of course you can't exactly change the past. But you can change yourself right now. I mean your present self ya know. It's hard stuff but like I said, if you try hard things always seem to work out better. At least, as best as it can be.

Well I'll try to write more. Have a greaaaaat day and try your hardest and never give up. Because it's worth it in the end. :)

Of shooting stars and Airplanes

     Sometimes when I couldn't sleep at night, I used to quietly slip outside when everybody was asleep. But only very few times. Well, last night I did and It was such a relief. There's a magical feeling you get, when every living thing around you is asleep and there's only the light of the moon and the stars, and the backyard neighbors stupid garden lamp that they never turn off, to accompany you. Of course I held my puppy in my sweatshirt for awhile before she decided she was cold and wanted to sleep in the garage with her mommy.
     I walked through my backyard, crunching the ice quietly with every step. I made sure I didn't turn on the motion light by walking around the yard not straight through it. I sat on the old frosty swing set and rocked myself slightly. I looked up at the stars and wondered what it was like to be in space.
     I could feel my puppy squirming around in my sweatshirt; she had to go potty so I let her go. I hugged myself, rubbing my arms to warm me up. All I had on was light pink pajama bottoms, slipper boots, and my cheer sweatshirt, so it was a little chilly...also, it's in the middle of winter, and it was about 2 o'clock in the morning at the time.
     The swing set is directly across from the house, in the way back of the yard, facing the house. So i stared at the old house, that was made in the fifties. Of course my dad re-modeled the back porch and the front porch. There was new paint, that was there when we first moved in about 8 years ago when I was in 2nd grade. I hate this house. It's old, not pretty, and I just don't like it. There's just a bad vibe here or something. Ever since we moved here my parents just don't get along at all, and nothing ever goes right for to long. If it does, I never expect it to last long.
     I heard an airplane engine and looked up at the starry sky. I watched the plane way up there and whispered to myself, "That's me someday...flying away...somewhere new." And as the plane was half way out of my sight I heard a sort of zoom sound, not sure how to explain it, but for the first time in my whole life that I can remember...I saw a shooting star. My heart stopped, and I quickly made a wish. I would tell you what I wished for, but that's classified of course. I don't know why but tears came to my eyes and I laughed. It was a moment I shared with myself that I'll never forget.
     I stayed out side quite a while longer; my swinging getting slower and slower until I almost fell asleep. I put down my hood and looked around the yard and behind me. I was suddenly scared for no apparent reason. I felt like there was somebody there, not really watching me but they were there.
     I looked over at the weather beaten bench that sat underneath a small pine tree, and imagined a ghost sitting there. Totally a trick of the mind, and I of course watch to many scary movies. I sat still for a while, thinking, what if I get up and something tries to chase me? So stupid. I shook my head quickly, shaking off the thoughts and stood up. My backside was cold from the frosted swing.
      I walked around the perimeter of the yard past the shed that was just built last summer, the ice cracking beneath my feet; making sure I didn't turn on the motion light. Instead of going through the living room sliding glass back door. I went though the garage door and cuddled the dogs a little while underneath the heating lamp.
     Finally, I walked up the steps and into the door that leads to the kitchen. I quietly shut the door, thankful it was one of the few non-squeaky ones in the house. I quickly slipped off my slippers and tip-toed to my room. I threw my slippers on the floor, and I looked out the window to look at the swing set. I imagined myself swinging there. I could barely keep my eyes open so I tip-toed to my warm cozy bed and fell fast asleep.

It was the best sleep I've had in a long, long time.

I want to Travel!

     Someday, I want to travel the world. Go somewhere different than this dumb small town full of dumb people. With the exception of a few close friends, and hopefully my little brother when they grow up. Oh and my family down in Ione, Washington, I love them. I want mostly to go down south. Tennessee, Alabama, Kansas, Florida, Georgia...and then there's places like Italy, Paris, England, and romantic places like that. Also, the more adventurous side of me wants to travel to places like Indonesia, and whatever other places like that.

     I have a close friend I've known since kindergarten, me and her have always dreamed of traveling places together. First we wanted to go to Vermont to see this haunted hotel when we turned thirteen...we planned it for up to three years...But now I'm 14 and still have yet to go there. Next summer her and I plan to go see a friend we've known since 2nd grade down in Missouri. It would be my first time riding an airplane without my parents so I'm pretty excited. My mom is still sort of iffy about it but my dad is somewhat okay with it, as he is with most things. I think my mom doesn't want me to be so far away, and the fact of me riding an airplane that could possibly crash probably really worries her. Of course I've thought about that, but, whatever happens, happens right? You can't just sit around hiding yourself from the world. My mom is kind of a homebody I've noticed :) We are most definitely, two completely different people.

     Once I settle down with my life after my adventures I want to have an Interior Designing business. So I'll have to go to college....but that's another story! :)

Just waiting for Summer...

So I've been obsessing over Summer lately.
I mean, I've always absolutely LOVED Summer,
but this snow is gettin' on my nerves lately,
and making me miss it even more.
First it was like 2 feet deep, then Mother Nature
decides to rain and turn it all into slush.
It's disgusting. I hate snow. Like, it's pretty and all that
when it's not all dirty and slushy and what not,
but unfortunately...it's all dirty and slushy...
and what not.

One of the main things I look forward to the most in the Summer time,
is the county fair. The smell of buttery popcorn and horse manure
is surprisingly not that bad of a smell. It smells like home to me.
One of my most favorite things to do with my girls at the fair is go to
the Motocross Arena and sit on that old fence hootin' at the
sexy motocross boys! Just sittin there on the fence dangling our cowboy
boots and soakin up the sun! It's the best :) Me and my two bestfriends
usually decide what to wear about a week before we go.
Even though we usually just end up wearin daisy dukes, a t-shirt, a flannel,
or just some regular cute shirt, along with either flip-flops or cowboy boots,
we still get extremely excited about it every year :) Hopefully this summer
I can find my cute country boy! The rides at the fair get less exciting to me
each year. It's usually the boys, the motocross, and the food I'm interested in now!
 It's the best.

Every summer on July 20-23 In my hometown, Ione, Washington, we have a
three day event called Down River Days. Ione is a very small town were
almost everybody knows everybody, so it's really fun!
Anyways, at the park there's usually snow mobile races across the river,
little booths around everywhere selling jewelry, candles, Hawaiian Ice!
(My personal favorite!) and so much other things :) Oh and don't forget the hot dogs!
On the river, there's this dock sort of thing, Not really sure if its and big ole' cement
square or a dock cause I've never really been down on that particular area,
but they have singing, and a guy calling over the intercom about who's winning
the races and what not! It's so fun!

Usually after that me and my family go down to my great grandparents house
because the river is in their backyard. They play country music, the adults drink beer,
the kids and teenagers of the family go down to the river and swing off the
rope swing. There's usually a little kid or two..or six, running around
causin trouble! My cousin is usually playing the guitar on the little wooden stage
singing oldie country songs. It's always so fun being around all your family, knowing
that's where you belong. And that they're all connected to you somewhere along the line.
It's the best feeling ever.

On the third day, everybody in town..well, the old people usually stay home for this, but at night,
there's a street dance! They set up a little stage in the middle of the street wich is usually
the back of a decked out truck, and have a band to play. There's people dancing in the
whole street! All the bars are open on the side of the street, and there's always the
occasional redneck bar fight going on in at least one of them! It's so much fun. If i don't bring
along a friend, i usually just hang out with my cousin and his friends so I always got something to do!
Well, either that or my mom asks me to watch my two little brothers so they don't run off!
So I usually end up dancing with my little brothers, twirling them around and laughing my head off!
I tell you what, if there is only eight things in this world I love more than anything that I could name
off the top of my head, it would be Summer, the river, the county fair, Down River Days,
Country boys, Cowboy boots, Family and friends! :)




So uhh....I basically miss Summer...Alot.
