Two Truths. One Lie.

Yup. It's snowing. It's also a very lazy day, full of sipping coffee, wearing sweats (AKA my oh-so-comfy black slacks and cozy bright pink Aeropostale sweatshirt), and cleaning my room. Okay, maybe that last one doesn't exactly qualify as lazy. I suppose I have some college and PreCalc homework too...why must such evil memories stay with me? :(

And now it's time for...Dun dun dunnnnnnnnn....

Two Truths and a Lie Tuesday! 

(Some of you perhaps already know the answer to these...but we will see...)

-I have gone out to dinner with three young men (non-relatives) at a time.

-I  do not own a bikini

-I have a 23-inch waist

Can you guess which one is a lie? Hmmmmmm?

♫Monday, Monday♫

It's Monday. Time for "How I feel in 5 pictures." No, these aren't really intended to make sense to anyone but me...so if you're confused, don't stress too much.

This was kind of boring! Sorry. Tomorrow is "Two Truths and a Lie"; that should turn out to be a lot more interesting. I'm going to GoodWill tonight with my daddy :)

My mom spent the first 17 years of my life trying to keep me from loving heels. Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

Hello, loyal fans. I am convinced that life is doing everything in its power to keep me from having any time to myself! As I am typing, I am doing about six other things: revising my candidate statement for the voters' pamphlet, picking a good picture for said pamphlet, fixing up my bill, writing another bill, contacting my co-sponsor, talking on facebook, and texting. The last two are especially important ;) What would life be without facebook chat and texting? Although my text buddy has disappeared on me.

On Thursday, I got up and donned a pencil skirt, suit jacket (that made my eye color go POP!), nylons, and a wonderful pair of high heels. My darling friend Olivia took some very official-looking pictures for my candidacy facebook page! Wooohooo! :) Would you like to see some of them? Awwwwww, you would? You're too kind :) Most of these are unedited...oh, well!

Blouse: Fred Meyer 

 Jacket: Thrifted

 Skirt: Borrowed 

 Shoes: JCP 

Earrings: Brighton

Hah! I'm odd. Most of these were too silly to put on my facebook page, but I love them anyway! Hopefully nobody in YAG finds my blog...they might not vote for me! xD

So, if my life ever gets not-crazy, here is the schedule!

Monday-How I Feel in Five Pictures

Tuesday-Two Truths and One Lie

Wednesday-Quote of the Week!

Thursday-Awkward and Awesome

Friday-Facebook Happenings

Saturday and Sunday will be catching up on all the things I missed during the week!

Okay, realistically, this won't happen until at least summer.

Have a fabulous evening!!

A&A, not AA

I don't know how this always happens, but it seems that the mood to post awkward and awesome strikes both Olivia and me (it's grammatically correct, people!) at the same time. But alas, it has happened again, and there is nothing we can do about it. So here we go!

Awkward:

-In Chemistry class on Wednesday we were doing a project thing and weren't allowed to sit with our previous lab partners...turns out the only people who can tolerate me fall into that category...except one girl who came and sat next to me...then went back to her original spot a few minutes later...? My teacher had to pause class to ask for a volunteer to sit next to me. Wooooooow, guys. I love you too.(more on this later)

-Bringing your best guy friend to youth group, and your small group leader coming and whispering in your ear, "your boy is cute!" Jo, we've already been over this...Thankfully, it's all sorted out now :P

-Being in Nutrition and Cooking class...while being allergic to 54 things.

-Hug a Tall Person Day. It's such a fun concept...but it ends up involving hugging tall people...I ended up only hugging about 3, and I knew them all

-The fact that NONE of my clothes fit me. Okay, that's not entirely true. I have three pairs of jeans and a few shirts that fit. But everything else is absolutely falling off of me, and it drives me insane! 

-Pulling up to a red light in the middle lane (turn lane to my left, other lane to my right) in between two big trucks driven by older men with beards. Little 17-year-old me is in her dinky little red truck, singing and having a great time. 

Awesome:

-A very nice boy volunteered to come sit with me in class (see above.) It kinda made my day. Maybe not everyone hated me! hehe 

-My darling friend Moriah! I was feeling very depressed and unloved yesterday (as evidenced by my blogpost), and she noticed this, so she pulled me out of show choir and found out what was wrong. Then, she rushed over and grabbed her ipod. We listened to "Good Day, Sunshine" by the Beatles, and she belted it in the middle of the lunchroom just to make me feel better :) 

-Campaign songs that get stuck in my head. Because soon they will be stuck in other people's heads. 

-The fact that NONE of my clothes fit me. waaaaaait a second...didn't you say that was awkward? Yes, thank you for noticing. I would take being smaller and not having hardly any fitting clothes any day. So, rather, the cause of none of my clothes fitting is rather awesome.

-Apples, almond butter, and raisins for breakfast. 

-I have randomly been in a cleaning mood...today I'm going through all my clothes and getting rid of most of them...because they don't fit.

-Going to Mock Leg considering running for Committee Vice Chair and leaving it as a candidate for Governor.

Well, that's all I've got for now. 

Yoohooo! It's me.

Hi. Remember me? Yeah, I'm still here. I still exist. Life has just gotten...well, life-y. And Life doesn't like it when I blog, apparently, so it's been an entire week since I've been able to click on the glorious "new post" button. Unfortunately, right now I am sitting around at school, waiting for my class that doesn't start for another hour and sixteen minutes. This means...no pictures.

Due to the life-y-ness of life, I also have been forced to prematurely abandon 30 for 30. Perhaps next year...

I have also recently become convinced that I am the most forgettable person in the entire world...perhaps more on this later.

This is becoming a very depressing-sounding post, so I shall talk about more exciting things...

Like me running for youth governor! There's this utterly fabulous program called Youth and Government (YAG) that is through the YMCA. Basically, we spend most of the school year learning about the legislative branch of government, how to write bills, parlimentary procedure, etc. Then, in May, students in this program from across the state all head on over to Olympia. The important government people have been kind enough to empty the capitol building for us, so we get to use the actual House and Senate chambers. We have a youth governor, secretary of state, etc. as well.  The next four days are spent debating and passing/failing new laws. We also hold elections for the next year's major offices.

This year, I decided to run for youth governor. That means if I win in Olympia this year, next year I will get to walk around on a cloud of prestige, give awesome speeches, and sign or veto laws. So, yeah, I'm pretty excited. My dear friend Jonathan and I wrote my campaign song on Wednesday. Look for my campaign page on facebook within the next week or so and you can watch it :P It's been stuck stuck stuck in my little head for the longest time.

I have a chemistry test today...possibly. Every class since the beginning of December, my teacher has said "next Friday is the test!" "There's a test next Friday!" But have you noticed the same thing I did? The calendar never says, "Well, good morning there. Today is next Friday." No! It says, "Hey there. It's Friday. THIS Friday." However, this test seems to be pretty much a certainty.

Today is also the day we get second semester's choir music! Hoorah! We're singing some really great songs this time; I'm pretty excited. :)

Now, I shall steal the idea of a dear friend of mine, and do a "How I Feel in 5 Pictures."

Okay, most of these probably make no sense to any of you. But oh, well. I'm going to head off now! Farewell.

Isn't "Frolic" the Most Fabulous Word?

Cardigan: The Limited 
Dress: Thrifted 
Tights: FredMeyer

Yeah, I'm basically in love with this dress. When I realized that my little undershirt/tanktop things didn't really count as items, I was able to add two more things to my 30. It didn't take long for me to pick this :) Oh, by the way, these are yesterday's pictures. Days 20 and 22 will remain picture-less, unfortunately.

Tomorrow is Mock Leg, AKA cheater-day. I have to dress in office-y clothes, and it really is very necessary that I wear a little black cardigan that didn't make it into my 30. (I'm not entirely sure why it didn't make it into the 30, as said cardigan is at the tippity-top of my wardrobe staples list.) Potentially expect bus pictures at the end of tomorrow or Sunday, though :) 

I almost passed out in Chemistry class today! It was an interesting experience, and I must say my teacher over-reacted a bit. During lunch nobody really knew what to do with me, so I spent most of that time by my little self. Oh, well. C'est la vie.

Speaking of French, my only French homework from yesterday until next Thursday is making two fabulous little sock puppets for a presentation. Does it get any more wonderful or "me" than that? No, I don't believe it does.

Right now, my hair is in pigtails, I am wearing a striped beanie, and my nails are very. very. red. FYI. Oh, and did I mention that I have the best parents in the whole world? :)

The sun will come out...today? What's this?!?

Black shirt: WalMart 
 Sweater: Thrifted 
 Skirt:Thrifted 

Today was sunny :) sun is good. But Washington sun in February is cold!!!!! These pictures may make it look like it was all happy and warm, but we were shivering. Mostly internally.

My outfit today was fabulously comfy, and this skirt is just perfect for swing-dancing. Unfortunately I haven't swing-danced since November (and that didn't really count), and have never been to a real swing dance :( Poor me. One day!!! 

I was a substitute nanny today to my darling little two year old neighbor :) She's just the cutest thing ever! 

Now I'm tired, and I have a bit of chemistry homework for tomorrow. 

Oh! I also made chocolates :) They're yummy.
