Jump In

So it has been sooo long! My life has been so busy lately School is amazing i love it our class gets along really well and everyones really supportive of eachother, i love the enviroment i love learning little inside things like that nicolas cage wears hair plugs, this is definetely what i want to do with my life, i am starting to feel like...like... something ( i can't think of a good analogy for this one) but i'm learning all this stuff and i feel so creative probably the most creative i've felt for a long time and i can't put my own spin on it i want to take the techniques we learn and put someting different in it so, it comes from me, now i know what hairstylists meant by "hair school is jail". Like the other day, this past saturday i got to have Andrew come in for my men's cut model and i did my thing and i was pretty proud of myself i thought it looked pretty good and he liked it ( because the day before i practiced on my mannequin and it didn't well let's just say turn out) so anyway my instructor came to check my progress and then began to snip away, not that i messed up but it wasn't excactly following the "technique". I'm over it now but at the time i was so mad she had just taken my art and flushed it down the toilet, through it out the window...she crapped on my heart. Maybe i'm being a little dramatic but i was upset. It turned out okay but i couldn't get the image of what i HAD out of my head... to resolve: all of andrew's and anyone else i care about, their hair will be done at home until school is over. Also i miss everyone very much, i can't wait for us to come home for christmas! Sam, Laura, and Brad all came last weekend to visit for Andrew's birthday it was so much fun we saw sites, ate at some really cool pizza shops and just plain old had fun, i wish we lived just a little closer so we could do that more often I love you guys...!
Lately i've been on the job hunt today i applied at Urban Outfitters i hope i get it because it seems like a really cool place to work and i've been loking into this Yoga place where you can trade work for classes annnnnd i've been looking into the Guthrie theatre to see if i could maybe get an internship working with theatre makeup. This city is so amazing, i forget sometimes how cool of a place it is, yesterday Andrew and I found this really cool lake it's called lake calhoun there's boating and swimming, and runners, and picnics all over the place, it is such a cool spot It reminds me of lake culver there's this gorgeous lake and then huge houses surrounding it. Sorry all of this is so random but it's just going to get worse from here. I watched garden state the other day this my all time favorite movie i get something new out of it everytime i watch it is just so good, at the end (don't read if you want to see it) The main character is leaving home to go back to LA where he lives now, he's leaving his family his new love interest and his friends, the love interest goes to the airport to see him off and she's having a really hard time, but he's calm His flight is called and they seperate, then cue the music Let go by Frou Frou begins to play (amazing song, the soundtrack to this movie is unbelieveable) then he ditches the plane and decides to stay Anyways i guess what i'm getting at is the ending of this movie and this perfect song playing together it's just an amazing moment and it's how i want to live my life no holding back i want to let go and jump in to whatever i encounter everyone needs to see this movie it'll change your life.

A stroll down random lane

1. I love full house, i still have a crush on Unle Jesse.

2. I wish careers weren't the main center of life, if we didn't have to work i feel like we could live more naturally, be with who we wanted to be with, live wherever we wanted to and whenever we wanted to.

3. Sometimes when i'm in a bad mood, i just go around the house, turn on all the lights and then i feel better, i guess the light makes me happy.

4. I was in karate for almost a year, when i was eight,then one day a boy was teasing me and i punched him in the stomach, then i learned, "that's not self defense".

5. Ok i'm wasting all my random facts on karate, but this is kind of funny, after a couple weeks (before number 4) i decided to try out my new moves on my great uncle, (geez that sounds bad now that i write it) but anyway i ended up giving him some rendition of a round house kick to the face and since then i've really tried to stay away from karate....i don't think it's my thing.

6. I absolutely hate being lonely, i would rather live in a cardboard box with all my friends around, than live in a huge lonely mansion and have all the money in the world.

7. I love riding my bike in the city, it's a crazy rush, especially when you turn left.

8. I want to be a famous makeup atrist, but behind the scenes, i don't want anyone to know what i look like.

It's like i'm on an episode of Mr.Rogers gone wrong

Oh in case you were all on the edge of your seat wondering about more of our neighbors, we finally saw another one. But probably would have been happier if we didn't. He lives on the first floor, right next to the stairs we have to go down to exit the apartment. Anyway the other day he was sitting on those stairs playing with his kitty yes kitty and i say kitty because that's how he talks because he uhhhm well likes boys. But we could see inside and it was filled with material drapings and was very dim lit just about the scariest place i've ever seen i hope he doesn't grab Andrew coming down the stairs one of these days ahh.
But i decided to give all the neighbors we've seen so far names so here they are:
neighbor1:First floor, smokey old man(described in last blog)-POCHAHONTAS
neighbor2:First floor,creepy kitty guy-FOR THE LOVE OF TAPESTRY
neighbor3:second floor, tattoed guy, this is because he sold us the air conditioner and he has a little gangster flare-COOL J

Wusss up beautiful

Right now i'm sitting in a coffee shop excactly one block away from my new apartment.Oh and on the way here i had my first half scary experience i was just crossing the street and a snoop dogg looking man gave me a head nod and a "Wus up beautiful". I was actually excited to have the experience, when i told Andrew, he was like are you okay? hhah.The coffee shop is a really cool place aside the fact that the barista is a little creepy..not freaks you out creepy, i'm fine sitting in here by myself, but the creepy where he seems like he always takes deep breaths like he's going to talk but never says anything. Oh and i think it's the above 65 hang out andrew and i came here saturday night and about 8 elderly couples were sitting around watching concerts on tv. But they do make a mean iced latte. Things have been pretty chill we went grocery shopping twice already so we should be set for like 5 years. But it did suck because we went to target first then wal-mart and spent way too much at target. Yesterday it stormed like crazy, car alarms were going off! We definetely live in the part of city that's in movies..our street is the main street to the Hennepin Hospital so there's ambulances all the time. But i like it the noise doesn't bother me. The apartments are super cool but mine of course takes the cake so far...andrew thinks so too. We haven't seen much of our neighbors except the nice tattooed mexican man we bought a air conditioner off of, and the best neighbor yet is the old man on the first floor he smokes like a chimney, his clothes and windows are yellow stained and he wears a bandana around his head all rolled up like pochahontas(definitely spelled that wrong) style but he is a white man. ( I'm startng to sound racist but i'm just trying to be descriptive so you can imagine a little better), and when he opens his door it smells like death. Thats all of the neighbors we've seen, and today is going to be the first time we take a long walk downtown since we've been here. Oh the first day was craziness when we first arrived at the apartment i had to be to orientation in an hour, so my dad and i (mostly my dad) put up my shower curtain and i jumped in and then my mom drove me down to Aveda which is only seven minutes away. Orientation was BORINGGGG I first walked in and then made my way up to the fourth floor, the building is amazing it must have been like an old ballroom because the staircase is fantastic it has gold banisters and all marble flooring but then it has a modern twist so it's amazing. Once i got to the 4th there were probably 60 girls and maybe 5 guys we all got signed in then we made our way to the "Great Room" and it was great it looked like an old theater i'm exccited to see what we'll use it for. Then the Admissions rep began to talk and they showed us a video of the history of Aveda. Which was very cool i actually really liked it. Then came the crappy part we had to pick a partner, learn three things about them, then introduce them to the whole class. It wasn't so bad seeing as my partner was pretty cool i learned she was from South Dakota, has 2 cats, and has two different colored eyebrows....naturally. Then the speaker talked some more and then we all had to sit around for about an hour or so as we each handed in our checks. Then played a final lame game and were sent on our way. I'm excited to start it should be super fun. Let's see what else oh the showers kind of stink i'm way to tall for it my head sticks above the shower curtain and what else? we live on 3 blocks from the twins stadium! and there are skyscrapers only 2 blocks away. I'm excited to get a little rough on my edges and to tell lots of stories but i'm going to be homesick for a while....i miss my friendsss!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you guys!
I'm officially a city girl woo hoo!

money money moneeeeey..... monnnnehhh!

I don't have any real reason i titled this the way i did but my friends and i have all been singing it lately and i thought they would get a kick out of it. Plus it's kind of ironic because none of us have it. Or is it ironic? I guess you could take it more of as if i'm screaming for money when i sing it than celebrating over it. But i don't truly know because that is the only line i know from that song...how's the rest go? Besides that the best part about that song is no matter where or when you sing it, someone will always join in or finish the line, i even started it at a funeral once and someone actually finshed it! No i lied but it's almost that extreme. I think my point is that what's the big deal? (with money, if you haven't caught my drift yet)i mean we almost waste our whole lives for it. We work hard in school so we can get into college so we can get a job i don't know maybe it's suppose to build character(i can never spell that word,mannn) but if we wait our whole lives to do things we reeeeeaally want to do because we need money then by the time we finally get in the financial situation we want to be in we're too old to that thing anyway. Why doesn't money grow on trees? and why can't we just live our lives by taking each day as it is? I guess i kind of did have a reason for my titleage(yep i made that word up just now)(tight-ill-edge) without even meaning to.
Money should be free.
..but i guess the big picture is we probably wouldn't be motivated without it.
All i know is that when i win the lottery and i'm sitting in my mansion with all my friends i'm going to sing it non stop and if anyone says anything different..well i don't know yet but i'll be rich enough to have someone else have to think about that for me.

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S

I think i'll post about normal stuff this time i don't have a particular topic but sometimes the best stories spark from normal life stuff. So let's start at the beginning.Well i was born in Youngstown, no i'm just kidding (i'm only posting about these past few weeks..... gotcha though)That's probably my favorite movie scene ever in Goonies when their "interogating" Chunk and they ask him to start at the beginning(only wanting what happened that day) and he starts telling his whole life story. Anywaaaaaaay let's see oh we went to Taste of Chaos, last weekend? and it was really good i was a little disappointed there wasn't as much energy as i expected but i still loved it and plus it was funny to watch how much fans bow down to their favorite bands like when they cheer for ridiculous questions lead singers ask and plus the 10 year old couple infront of us was making out and that was always entertaining...you know a dull moment in the concert we could always go back to watching them go at it brrrrrrrhhhhh. The car ride was awesome and so were Andrew,Laura, and Brad and we missed Sam and couldn't find him a keychain after searching for days and weeks and actually a whole month yes it's true we stayed there a whole month to search for him(i might be exaggerating). Uhhhmm i've been reading a lot of Literature and i'm actually into it i like all the stories even though almost all of the writers were very depressed and end up dying so sometimes it's kind of depressing..it's weird how when i was in school i did all of my work to get done and never really truly listened now that i'm homeschooled i do so much better because i'm more open minded (i think that's what's happening)...yep that's it because i remember when i first really started listening to music i realized i could be open to anything even if it is ganster rap because i think artists have some cool stuff to say no matter what.... even if their chains hang low and their grills shine in the light. (this is escalated quickly). Oh i have a spat i have to go on for a second(is spat the right word?), stupid girls annoy me it sounds immature but i refuse to be demanded to "love pink" ( messages bouncing back and forth coming from the chest and butt area) and what in the heck is "flossy, flossy" okay i'll admit i make up my own words but flossy what does that even mean? I mean we all obviously know what fug is but flossy i'm not
getting it. Maybe like she's clean like after you floss your teeth clean i don't know if that's it then that is so ridiculous. I got my wisdom teeth out and it went suprisingly well nothing major i was out in excactly 7 seconds like the doctor predicted and got to enjoy the high for about one of those seconds (not that i want to be high i just thought that would be funny to say). I think that's about it maybe next will be a little more productive. Sorry it's short but i don't have anything more clever and witty to say.

Do people really hock on these hills?...that's weird.

WOW that was the lamest title yet haha (but obvioulsy i thought it was pretty clever because i left it)
A few weeks ago my friends and i went on amazing trip to hocking hills. We hiked and saw waterfalls and had more falls ourselves. But i will say i didn't fall the whole time but i better knock on wood because someones going to come out and push me now. Although we saw some pretty amazing things and went to even cooler ones, the best part was the company our crazy awful dances and making dinner at the house were the best parts. I know that place is just not fun without the people you love. I think it's the same going anywhere, moving away because you think the state you live in is shisty(my made up word)(shy-stee)or going on vacation to get away...but don't we always write letters saying wish you were here? Ohhhh i don't know i'm kind of losing my train of thought and can't write but i think what i'm trying to say is I love my friends and my family and i'm pretty scared of growing up but that's another topic for a different century because that's how long it would take me to write about it hhahah. But it was great and their awesome.
