It's about dinosaurs and I'm being completely serious when I say all of this. I'm extremely high I haven't smoked five days so...there's that...
Anyway. Went to a meditation panel today where there were five people who spoke about various branches of spritiology (sp?? the red squiggly line is frowning on me) meditative techiques, including a tai chi dude and some yoga ladies and I'm being very rude in summing them up this way but that's because those particularly lovely but irrelevent people are not the reason for my presence here today...on this bliggity blog. And we're BACK to the runon sentences that I'm not gonna proofread for you. If it makes sense, that's AWESOME, you guys will be RIGHT ON PAGE WITH ME. If not, then you'll be mostly on my page but somewhat confused. Not givin a shit :p
At the end we got to choose which of the five we wanted to attend a smaller, more in depth 30 minute class with. The one I attended was a man who used to be a school principle but his brain got sick from the mold and he had to retire early. He was originally obviously very upset about this but he found ways to connect back with Earth and nature that allow him to realize the true meaning and beauty of life, and meditation and mental journeys to awesome spots that you can picture that relax you and all that lovely stuff. What's EVEN BETTER is HE PLAYED A DRUMMMMM for us as we sat for ten minutes picturing our recognizable scene. Like with a skin drum with a stick like a Q-tip. While all of that was amazing, it's not even what my real point is.
At the end he gave us his website, and at the end of a short essay he has on it, he says to pay attention to any animals that have been ever apparent in your life as of yet for whatever reason. Whether outdoors, in your dream, around you, any animals that have stood out around you lately. Everyone knows you don't see animals at college. The stupid mascot thing doesn't count. But what has been on my mind for the first time since.....CHILDHOOD????? all this semester?
Dinosaurs.
I've been thinking about how much I used to love them and how much I used to know about them and how fascinating they STILL ARE (FUCKING DINOSAURS MAN SERIOUSLY) and....you know, I hope it sounds crazy, I really do, because I know it does, but I think my spirit animal is a dinosaur. I'll never see one of course, but I've had dreams with them, in fact my earliest dream has always been the T-Rex that chases me in the house. Granted, they've always been terrifying, but that's because that's what dinosaurs are. I think....dinosaurs are just a part of me, somehow. I'm so.... like, SO happy about that.
I LOVE DINOSAURS!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi. One day I decided to go bed and write whatever came to mind. Then, it was so funny, I did it again.

Why can't girls be pretty and funny at the same time?
Hi everyone!! Becca here. Becca is not only STONE COLD SOBER, but she is also pleasantly warm (no more sub zero temperatures, it was like in the twenties today I was like OH MAH GAHHHHD I WANNA FROLICK IN THE NUDE [kidding...kidding about the nude part...but did it get your attention? Picturing me in the nude? I hope so, because that would be a great segue. Segue.]) and she also has interesting things to say!!
I was reading a cracked article last night which, if you've been paying attention, would seem to be the only thing that I ever do ever with my life and that's not far from the truth. I love me some cracked.com. Anyway, it mentioned a bit about female comedians often having to pretend they're ugly, and linked to this article about female comedians uglifying themselves. Go ahead, read it. I mean, you're reading this already - give yourself some context.
The point that I seemed to derive from it is that female comedians have to downplay their sexuality if they have any hopes of being admired for anything else. Basically, if you're too sexy, you will just get too many catcalls pleading you to "DUMP 'EM OUT" before you even get to the punchline. Good thing there is no punchline to this paragraph otherwise I would have already dumped em out...I think? No?
I have no qualms with this theory, but I have a bit of my own to add. As anyone who knows me already knows, I'm just darling. Physically speaking, that is. Mentally....not so much. Anyway, as I've matured and blossomed into the woman I am today I uhh...well, how do I put this eloquently? I don't like to be pretty when I'm being funny. It's weird. Fuck the eloquentness, let's just be straight up.
I've never been one for makeup, not only because a) I'm too lazy b) the few occasions I do wear it, I fuck up and forget and rub my eyes and shit just goes downhill from there c) I don't know how to do it so that it actually looks good, so I have to rely on my lovely friend Elizabeth to do it for me hahaha. And she does a great job!! But this is obviously only for special occasions. Or even d) the original reason I never started wearing it: I didn't want to develop the habit of not feeling pretty without it. No, there is one more intimate reason why I choose to go makeup free, and it is honestly because I'm scared of how good I would look if I put actual effort into it.
Sound full of myself? Maybe I am. But it's for good measure! There's a reason why old ladies fall head over heals in love with me - literally every middle aged woman I work with has, at least ONCE, cooed over my hair - "So beautiful!!" or my face - "So adorable!!" or both, repeatedly, all the time. And I get shy. I mean, I know I'm cute, but am I really that cute that you have to make such a commotion about it? Gee whilikers, cantcha make a commotion over someone else for once? No? Then by GOD I'm definitely never going to apply makeup!
For my entire life, the most important thing has consistently been that people find me funny. It just matters to me. I love funny people, and I love people who love funny people, and when someone thinks I'm funny and I also think they're funny then we all get along and it's a grand old time!! If I'm too pretty though, people are just gonna be focused on my face - they're not going to listen to what I actually have to say. Or they're going to laugh because I'm cute, and awww, the cute girl is trying to be funny, she's so cute when she does that. She should really think about dumping 'em out!!!
There's this whole stigma surrounding pretty girls that I a) don't care to explain or put into words or b) get wrapped into myself. So I accept the curse that is a perpetually, unavoidably attractive face and carry on with my life by distracting people from my superior genes with words that make them giggle. I guess it's this inherent fear that people will look at me and immediately assume I'm just a pretty face. Because there are so many just pretty faces out there. Girls who became cute in 6th grade and from then on felt no need to develop their personality because regardless of the shit that came out of their mouths, boys lined up to smush their mouths next to 'em. That's scary. I don't want to be appreciated for SOLELY what's on my outside.
It might be just me, because I know quite a few girls who manage to be beautiful and hilarious at the same time. But it's a tough balancing act. The best way I can explain it is that there's plenty of reason to hate someone for being too beautiful, but no one has ever hated someone for being too funny.
I think that's what a lot of this whole "female comedians downplay their attractiveness" thing comes down to. For me at least, I learned how to be funny long before I learned how to be pretty. Now, getting all prettified can feel as awkward as some boring person being forced to put on a standup act. It's like....what am I doing here? Why are you all looking at me? What am I supposed to do now?! So if I was put in a situation like the Esquire photoshoot the article mentions of Tina Fey (photoshoot link here), I too would do the goofy poses. I wouldn't be the only one!! Sexiness is so....serious. It requires taking oneself....seriously! I can't do that, I don't want to do that, and I don't want people to take me seriously either. I want them to giggle with me. I wish everyone would just giggle.

See, the thing about assholes
these days is first of all, there are about 900 different varieties. Some are particularly ripe and unwelcome, like the one I encountered TWO NIGHTS AGO WITH ELIZABETH AT THE TATTOO SHOP. YES THAT'S RIGHT. SOMETIMES COOL PEOPLE CAN BE ASSHOLES TOO.
Yes, even tattoo artists! It is frightening, I know, to think of someone in such a laid back position being a throbbing dickwad, but it happens, let me assure you.
See, one of the ripest kinds of assholes are the kinds that insist on arguing with you on something they know jackshit about, even though you have clear reliable resources backing your reasoning.
So let me set the scene. Our friend is getting a tattoo done while me and Elizabeth and another chick (sorry, she's totally irrelevant though and will never be mentioned again, funny how some people are that way, it's okay I'm that girl too sometimes, anyway) are the only ones in the waiting room cuz like the shop is closed. And there are two tattoo artist guys.
So we're all blabbing to each other about random shit and then Elizabeth and I start going off about the documentary Tapped that we didn't know the other had seen - it's the one about bottled water and how YOU ALL NEED TO STOP BUYING/DRINKING IT IMMEDIATELY SERIOUSLY THOUGH stop being an asshole! Lol, that's another breed, the kind who will still drink bottled water after watching Tapped! You should find out if you're one of those honestly.
ANYYYYWAYYYYY, so we're going back and forth about bottled water and why it's shitty....oh and I remember why, it's because they had asked me about finals so I mentioned my environmental justice class and as always, everyone is like "der dahh dahhh wahhhht?" but like it's amazing because rather than being coherent about asking questions about that class, I feel like literally everyone turns into a drooling idiot and can't understand my quick breakdown of the basic concept (minority communities are targeted by waste industries and the likes because they are less likely to protest than affluent white communities and are therefore wayyy more impacted by pollution and shit, etc). I mean not everyone of course, but ....a lot of people!!
ANYWAYYY!!!! So I'm talking about environmental injustice, and Elizabeth and I are going off about bottled water, and I start saying how Americans need to limit our waste because we have too much impact on the world, one of the stupid tattoo artists was like "Nahh Americans don't have any power at all are you kidding me we're like owned by China, there's nothing left for us to do" as in he was COMPLETELY MISUNDERSTANDING WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.
So I'm like "Uh right but like we're 5% of the world's population and contribute 20% of the waste" and I mention all the plastic in the pacific ocean and one fucking guy goes "I don't understand why people get so worked up about the ocean though like we've got a lot more problems than the ocean why does it matter" while the other tattoo guy brilliantly adds "I mean, I was sick all the time when I was younger but guess what I never get colds now! So like, about chemicals from the plastic and shit, I'll just develop an immunity to it so I don't think it's that much of an issue."
See these are the people who insist on priding themselves for not going to college and furthering their education - WOW CONGRATULATIONS I HAD NO IDEA THAT THAT WASN'T THE PLAN FOR EVERY HUMAN BEING IN THE UNIVERSE, WOW YOU DEFY THE ODDS OF SOCIETY DON'T YOU PAL, WHAT A FREE THINKER, - meanwhile they don't have the balls to say anything like "good for you" to anyone who does further their education, even though that's exactly what they expect to hear in return to "Yeah I am a tattoo artist and can do this for the rest of my life while other suckers are investing in an education that may or may not get them a job hahaha what absolute MORONS man I'm awesome I'm gonna go suckle some BPA-contaminated water because like, I will develop an immunity against it haha aren't you excited for me to procreate!!!"
Like, I have nothing against people who don't go to college okay? OBVIOUSLY I HAVE NOTHING. BUT I HAVE A SHIT LOAD OF SOMETHINGS AGAINST BUMFUCKS WHO CAN'T SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE FUCK UP WHEN TWO SEMI-EDUCATED(ER) GIRLS COME IN TO TELL THEM ABOUT SOMETHING THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW.
Is it a sexism thing? Of course it is. These guys have tattoos omg! on themselves and one guy even did a drawing of a dick-tree on another dude! Wow!! I imagine several naked women have been drawn on guys who haven't seen a real naked woman (at least who looks as good as the one needled into their arm) in ages. Just a theory. Point is, some guys have a reeeeeeeeaaaaalllll issue when ladies come into their territory and start revealing information that, if not immediately rebutted, would result in them having to actually change some life habits. And fuck that because like, society man!!! Right?
Yeah!!!!
Hehe have a good sunday everyone!!
P.S. my little anonymous commenter - the last song you posted is the first one I hadn't known beforehand!!!! But I did love it. You are just the sweetest thing, you really are. You probably have the least amount of asshole in your body out of all the people in the universe. In fact, how do you poop, because you have so little asshole? Just kidding, it's getting weird now hahahaha. Anyway ciao!!!!
And all of the rest of you, including the little commenter that could but obviously not limited to, LISTEN TO THISSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How I feel eveerrryyyyyyyyy time I head south from the land of bunsen burners. :~)

Dude so like, sorry if this is you
But that has stopped me literally never and if this is you then it's actually your fault for doing such an annoying and terrible thing so....you should be the one apologizing.
Okay anyway I just can't stand all the fucking statuses I keep seeing that are like "OMG got into UMAINE with a merit scholarship :) :)" or "Got accepted to U_____(insert any state name ever)" as if these are supposed to be um....accomplishments? Okay just let me back up.
First of all, yes, getting into college is an accomplishment. For anyone. And getting the first acceptance letter feels awesome regardless of who you are. But there are certain people, myself included, who have known their entire lives that come senior year, they're going to apply to a fuck ton of colleges and likewise get accepted to a solid shit ton. It is all about applying to security schools and a few reach schools. You apply to colleges that you know you will be accepted to. I'm not talking about fucking Brandeis here or ehem WILLIAM AND FUCKING MARY, BECAUSE YOU'RE GOSH DARN FRIKEN TOOTEN I'M GONNA TOOT MY OWN HORN AT THIS POINT, BECAUSE THAT IS A SELECTIVE SCHOOL OKAY, ALSO ONE THAT JON STEWART ATTENDED SO REALLY NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. I'm talking about University of Maine.
Do you want to know something you guys? Something really shocking? Here it is: it's NOT DIFFICULT AT ALL TO BE ACCEPTED INTO A STATE SCHOOL, AND IF YOU ARE BY ANY SEMBLANCE AN INTELLIGENT PERSON, YOU LIKELY ALSO GOT SOME SORT OF SCHOLARSHIP. If you are the kid who has been in honors classes your entire life and represent the top ten percent of your class, as ALL OF THE FUCKERS I'M BITCHING ABOUT DO, then you DON'T need to tell us the random ass state schools that you decided to apply to and therefore immediately got accepted into. Literally a billion jillion kajillion other people did the exact same thing. Settle down and wait for the exciting letters in March, otherwise I'm going to start updating my status every time I cross the street on my own successfully. And for those who know me, you know that's a much bigger accomplishment than any of these twits getting accepted to state universities, so....so just stop it.

Hello everyone. Did you think that I died again?
Not again as in I've already died before but again as in you thought I died last time I didn't post for a month, and I just gone went and didn't post for a whole nother month again, but I'm back now, but you thought I died didn't you?
Frankly, I did.
Or more accurately I'm on my death bed now. I have a fatally painful sore throat (if by "sore" you mean "there are tiny vikings bludgeoning my esophagus with hammers") and also, I am starting to be a baby about the cafeteria food here again, but really I can either label myself a baby or we can be honest with ourselves and I'll say I'M A HEALTHY FUCKING INDIVIDUAL WHO IS TIRED OF EATING NUTRITIONAL EQUIVALENTS OF CARDBOARD EVERY DAY EXCEPT WORSE because...well not quite worse. It's food. But...if you asked me to quickly tell you if it was food-like cardboard or cardboard-like food, I would freeze and ask you to please repeat the question.
GUYS I FINISHED MY ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE PAPERRRR ANNNNNDDDDD I MADDDEEE ITTTT TOOO SEVVVEENNNN PAGES (because if he didn't say 6 &1/2 isn't 7, then it is 7). And I did it all after planning a little shchmidge I call part of a group presentation on advertising and the LGBT community of which my part concerned magazines. *Backing up here - I'm not sure if that last bit of the sentence made sense but I'm keeping it because...because I feel like it makes sense enough, ya feel me? Enough is good enough these days. Enough should ALWAYS be good enough. Think about that.
Think about that next time you're drinking bottled water...do you think you've contributed enough plastic waste to the environment? No? No, you're right, nah you're good, keep...keep using and throwing away -- Oh wait oh you recycle oh okay everything is okay now because recycling is this magic thing that has no impact on anything and fixes everything for forever so superb! -- a minimum of one water bottle a day. Because you, as one in 7 billion, deserve to consume that much. Every day. With the knowledge that millions of people are doing the same thing.
Wow, that wasn't even what my paper was about, it was a nuclear waste facility trying to be built near a native american tribe!! You'd think it's a classic case of corporation taking advantage of vulnerable community a la environmental injustice style, but leaders of the tribe considered it a well thought out and analyzed decision since their region was already surrounded by some of the worst polluters in the entire country so there was literally no chance of any other kind of industry. And as far as hazardous industries go, the storage of nuclear waste isn't immediately spewing gases and chemicals into the airs and waters, so how truly harmful is it? WE DON'T REALLY KNOW, DO WE?
WE DON'T REALLY KNOW ANYTHING DO WE, EXCEPT NALGENES ARE THE TRUE ANSWER TO OUR BEING. Really get yourself one!! Nalgene. Not Nalgene. Heh.
PS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TO MY LITTLE ANONYMOUS COMMENTER WHO LEFT ME THE LINK TO THE LIGHTHOUSE'S TALE....WHY DO YOU TOY WITH MY EMOTIONS SO? Don't you know how much I love that song???? Hmmm???? Don't you???? Here you go everyone, find out why I love this song so much::::

Because you, as one in 7 billion, deserve to consume that much. Every day. With the knowledge that millions of people are doing the same thing.
Wow, that wasn't even what my paper was about, it was a nuclear waste facility trying to be built near a native american tribe!! You'd think it's a classic case of corporation taking advantage of vulnerable community a la environmental injustice style, but leaders of the tribe considered it a well thought out and analyzed decision since their region was already surrounded by some of the worst polluters in the entire country so there was literally no chance of any other kind of industry. And as far as hazardous industries go, the storage of nuclear waste isn't immediately spewing gases and chemicals into the airs and waters, so how truly harmful is it? WE DON'T REALLY KNOW, DO WE?
WE DON'T REALLY KNOW ANYTHING DO WE, EXCEPT NALGENES ARE THE TRUE ANSWER TO OUR BEING. Really get yourself one!! Nalgene. Not Nalgene. Heh.
PS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back again? So soon?! It's clear why! (Election, hammock, QU3)
Wow there are so many things to discuss. First of all everyone, this:
That's a hammock that I'm in hahaha a hammock everyone!!! Let it sink in. We have one. Those are christmas lights next to me. There's also a calendar there, if you want me to identify everything, but calendars are irrelevant.
Again, i did the thing where I post and then I get distracted and come back a few days later. I guess that's an The Oasis thing. Whatevs, it's chill, we have a lot to discuss today, lets get on our thinking pants and get going okay?!?!
(Thank the lordy lord I decided to put a relevant title up for once, so I can access it now to know what to talk about!! Wow life is great sometimes isn't it folks)
LIKE FOR EXAMPLE WHEN CANNABIS IS LEGALIZED IN TWO STATES IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?!?!
- How did I not know that that was on the ballot in THREE states?!
- How didn't EVERYONE know?
- Is it a sign of the apocalypse that things are finally changing? That we finally, are you serious, as a voting public, legalized same sex marriage in three states? Including MINE?! And we legalized WEED? Like we didn't decriminalize it, we didn't legalize it for medical purposes only, it was legalized for RECREATIONAL PURPOSES. IN AMERICA. HERE. AMERICA. Not HERE here (Oh how I wish it was here!!) but here ENOUGH. My mind is boggled. We were screaming that night, my roommate and I!! Delirious with happiness and pride!!
- I was told the term marijuana was applied to the plant in like the 20s or some shit as a way to make it sound illicit, like something you mutter under your breath, "marijuana", and it TOTALLY makes sense, so I'm gonna call it cannabis for until I remember which will be never because it's weed but.....STILL
Okay so congratulations America seriously you have done WELL this election. Perhaps we should..................
CELLLEEEEBBRRAATTE!!!!!!
I WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO CELEBRAAAATE!!!!! :-) :-) :-)
It's freezing cold here you guys. It's so freezing cold I have to wear leggings under all my pants unless I'm wearing my fleecy cupcake pajama pants. And for some BIZARRE reason, if I pair those with a black long sleeve t and my knitted vest from Nonna and my bitchin raggae shawl, people think I look awesome, even though it's like wow I'm literally only dressing for the weather, but thank you very much!!!
God I love mika WOW. My room is totally enveloped in twinkly lights it's awesome :-) :-)
That's only one bit of it. Oh, you wanna see more? Oh yeah lemme think about it uhh how about NO. Haha not now kids seriously, you need to be patient you can't eat your entire birthday cake in one bite. No, you savor it. Over time. Centuries, even.
Oh my god but back to the cold ladies and gentlemen the cold!!! It is absolutely brutal!! When hurricane sandy came a week ago she brought a gust of warm weather it was literally 70 degrees here a week ago. Today it has been FREEZING RAIN ALL DAY AND THERE IS ALSO AN INCH OF SNOW. That's cute and shit except for when you're walking through it every time you need food and or class and or employment and then it gets old QUITE RAPIDLY.
Okay there are still more things i have yet to say - can you believe that? Because I'd like to share with you a quote that I read from the most fascinating book evvvahhhhh, I got it out of the library when I had to do research on Alfred Kinsey for my LGBT class aaaaaand it's a great big study on male and female sexuality and desires and psychologies and well without much further ado, here's the quote
"Paranormals are the cream cheese sushi of the female sexual brain"
~ A Billion Wicked Thoughts
And out of all the things that I read in this book that made me go "Ahhh I see" and "YES, THAT IS IT EXACTLY!", this one was the strongest!! You are damn fuckin right paranormals are the cream cheese fucking sushi of my brain!!
I mean this book describes how your turnons and fetishes and desires are pretty much molded during puberty and adolescence. So hence, therefore, quence and bequeth, (those last two should definitely be added to Webster's sometime between pronto and NOW) my desires were molded roughly during the time I devoured the Twilight series over one February vacation. I mean, okay not to say that I like, suddenly went through puberty during that one week lol but to say that Twilight actually is porn for girls. Because porn, in the sense of naked women and lots of obscene body parts and little plot, is what gets men going. But romance, in the sense of descriptions and emotions and a handsome strong Alpha male who's infatuated with the average but pretty female is what gets women going. So add in the paranormal factor, and the mystery, sexiness, protection, aggression and obsession that follow suit and boom you have twilight and boom you also have transformed thousands of little girls into young women who secretly want to be ABDUCTED BY VAMPIRES.
OH The Oasis, how you do tempt me!!!
Cream cheese sushi though, really, what a fucking spot on description.
I have still OTHER things to say, but I will save them for another time, for my position is uncomfortable at the moment and I wish to change activities. Enjoy whatever it is that you should be enjoying right now, but enjoy it! :-)
OH I'M SORRY I REMEMBER ONE LAST THING AND IT'S THIS
No, no you have no idea how awesome it is to check this blog and see a new comment almost immediately every time I post a new post. You, whoever you are, are the greatest person ever (besides me of course). But you get what I'm saying. Keep up the good work soldier you are delightful and I love you. And I wonder about your identity every day!

And my uglies!!! But I greet my pretties first because they are superior, you know. Anyway.
HOMEWORK BECCA? DON'T YOU EVER HAVE HOMEWORK? JEEZE SERIOUSLY ALL YOU EVER DO NOWADAYS IS BLOG ANYMORE, AREN'T YOU GETTING AN EDUCATION?
Wow, calm down caps lock. First of all, stop screaming. Second of all, I have to do an interpretive translation of Dao De Jing for Honors tomorrow and technically other shit (like reading, but that's what I call "shit" as in "NOOOOOOO NOT MOOOOOOREEEEE NOOOO" because rather than accept my responsibilities, I whine. Because honestly, the alternative is just boring) but I am HERE INSTEAD.
Why? Oh, because I love you, I guess that's why.
Also, to tell you that you should definitely VOTE THE POLLL C'AHHHHHH'MAHHHHHNNNNNNNNNN. You should.
Oh okay and furthermore and also, sorry about the recent lack of pictures in posts. Well I guess before that I should say, sorry for the fucking lack of posts.
Hi.......I wrote the preceding a week ago, but then i got distracted, but now I'm back. I remember what distracted me too - I was trying to take a picture of myself to make up for the lack of pictures (and because I could honestly not think of anything half as beautiful as myself, feel free to leave any suggestions if you can think of any but I will be surprised if you can)
Anyway, let's put a picture up now AND I WON'T GET DISTRACTED AND RUN AWAY THIS TIME!!!!

Cool Effect!!!! My photobooth is a ridiculous asshole and i have to do stupid things to get those effects to work. I'm not even going to get into it -I'm not. I'm listening to Mika and I've got better things to do with my typing fingers than describe to you the fucking PROCESS i must go through to delight you with funkadelic photos of myself. But it's just so you know....that I do it...for you.....so enough of this "I think this blog is never coming back" bullshit, try IT'S NEVER GONNA LEAVE.
I COULD PUT A LITTLE STARDUST IN YOUR EYEES!!!
PUT A LITTLE SUNSHINE IN YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!
God, will you please for the love of god blast this song right now? It's even better in earphones.
Anyway...
I still haven't told you why I've been avoiding pictures. It's because I don't want to get bogus views on this website anymore from google images - people searching for the photos that I steal from google and include in my posts. You know, stop SOPA and all that shit. Whatever. I dont know. Point is, unless absolutely necessary, I'm probabbssslies gonna avoid the pictures now unless they're my own, or I take a screenshot of them, making them my own file instead of a link that people.....nevermind. I don't care to explain this to you imbeciles. Point is, we all benefit cuz any photos will hopefully be photos of me. Gosh, let's stop tantalizing ourselves and just put up another one.
Cool. Kaleidiscope effect. That word is stupid to spell. Any word with a red squiggly line under it is stupid to spell.
So what's the point of today's post? Not much. There's not really a point. Just to show you that I'm alive and I love you. My mom is texting now and I just received a completely independent text from her....written in spanish....it was the cutest thing since um PUPPIES WERE INVENTED. No, since LEILA WAS BORN.
Awww, this is what I was looking for!! Well not specifically, but this is a great photo of Leila. What a pup omg. Omg I need to wipe my tears.
Jk.
Well, I dun went and got distracted, but we both got good ends of the deal: I got to blurble for as long as I pleased, and you got to read all of it. I will be back my loves I FUCKING PROMISE, I have lots of shit to do this week and or next week though I think....I don't really know.....I should be studying right now....I'm gonna leave and continue to avoid my duties. Love you!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you're enjoying The Oasis
