“Mom. Mom.†I demanded, squaring my eight year old shoulders.
“What is it?†she asked lazily.
“There is something wrong with my head.†I inform her bluntly. Continue reading “[Day 20] Narration”

[Day 19] Join the ranks of the Komai!
Dear Tamora Pierce,
*insert project details here*
I remember picking up Alanna: The First Adventure while on vacation when I was in 7th grade. I’d never read fantasy before, so it was a new experience. The back of the book looked promising, and the idea of a girl masquerading as a boy appealed to my tomboy attitude. When I finished the first read, I put it down on my bed, thought about it for a moment, and picked it up again. I read it at least five more times in the period of a week. Continue reading “[Day 19] Join the ranks of the Komai!”
[Day 18] School Shooter
I’m really crazy, and I apologize.
[Day 17] Ship Off, Ship Away
On November 16, I’m going to be a mess. Just understand that right now. Also understand that I really, really despise the Marines right now. No, no, I’m not one of those crazy hippies who protests wars or the military, it’s more of a personal issue. Yes, the Marines have personally offended me. How? They’re taking my best friend away from me. Continue reading “[Day 17] Ship Off, Ship Away”
[Day 16] You Can’t Take It With You
So I’ve decided to change Thursdays to “do something nice for someone else”, which is pretty much what I’m doing anyways. It’s just easier to fit things into a category like that, and it makes this project just slightly less selfish and narcissistic. And before I start this post, I just want to suggest that everyone go out and buy the “Nothing Personal” album from All Time Low. It’s amazing. Continue reading “[Day 16] You Can’t Take It With You”
[Day 15] I’m over getting older
Lately, I’ve been getting into tea. I didn’t get into coffee until about last year, so I figured that tea, which won’t brown my teeth and stunt my growth, would be a good new habit to get into. So this summer I bought some tea at the local health food store (one kind to help me sleep and one kind to repress appetite) and tried to acclimate. It kind of worked, but I’m sorry, tea just tastes like weirdly flavored, piping hot water. I even tried Chai at Starbucks, but that just tastes like cold egg nog with a kick. Eh. But I really want to like tea. It is the coffee of sophisticated people! In pursuit of my imagined intellectual image, today, instead of my normal hot chocolate, I filled up my travel mug with Earl Gray tea. Continue reading “[Day 15] I’m over getting older”
[Day 14] Star-Struck Lovers
Yesterday was crap. I missed half of government to go to a two minute orthodontist appointment, where my orthodontist told me that I must be wearing my retainer a lot (LIES). Then I didn’t go home after school until three hours after school ended, because I went to get my allergy shot, then I went to get some dog food, then I got my brother a water bottle and dropped it off at his tennis practice. My allergy shot made my arm swell up and I was in pain, plus I got really stressed about my psychology test the next day and the fact that I have no money for college. On top of all this and a minor breakdown -tears included-Â I didn’t sleep all night. So. Yeah. Bad day. Continue reading “[Day 14] Star-Struck Lovers”
[Day 13] The Parade of Lights
The Parade of Lights was always the highlight of my year as a kid. My parents would start getting my brother and I ready an hour before we left, handing us several layers of clothing; long underwear, two pairs of thick woolen socks, jeans, sweater, ski jacket, scarf, and padded ski gloves. It was never enough. But I didn’t mind. Continue reading “[Day 13] The Parade of Lights”
[Day 12] This will find a way to you if it kills me
Dear Jason Mraz,
*insert project details here*Â 
Romantic and social success eludes me for some reason. In turn, this has caused me to lose faith in myself for everything else in my life. I don’t trust myself to be able to hold onto a friendship or even a halfway decent appearance anymore. I’ve been lying to myself for a long time now, pretending to be something I’m not in order to slide under the radar. It’s gotten to the point where I find myself staring into the mirror, loathing what I see and what I won’t let anyone else see. This self-inflicted emotional torture has done and will do me no good. Continue reading “[Day 12] This will find a way to you if it kills me”
[Day 11] I’m out of shape
This video is kind of crap, but it’s all the footage I had and I’m too lazy to do any other video now.
