We be stunna

I was busy all weekend. I threw a surprise party for my sister, which took a lot of effort...so...I apologize that I didn't post. At all. Also, it's Monday. Ew.

Stop. song time. (I gotcha. You thought it was gonna be "Hammer time" or "in the name of love", didn't you?)

Day 3 - A song that makes you want to cry.

Long Live ~ Taylor Swift

For those who have heard this song, you might understand. This song reminds me of people in my past, and the people in my present, who I loved/love dearly. Certain people come to mind. Garrett, Casey, Jacob, Brooke, Helen, Rebekah, Layne. I will share my "tear jerking" line with you.

"Please promise me this. If you have children someday, when they point to the pictures, please tell them my name."

Nuff said.


Day 4 - A song you listen to when you're pissed.

Misery Business ~ Paramore

The name kinda says it all, no? When I'm pissed, the beat and the words really resonate with me and I feel powerful. Just cuz.

Day 5 - A song that would not be appropriate in church.

Heh. Heh. There are a lot of songs that wouldn't be appropriate in church...But I shall say...

E.T. ~ Katy Perry

This song was, strangely enough, stuck in my head all of Saturday. Or, part of a remix of this song.

Story time.

I went to my dads office with Georgi to  blow up balloons for Autumn's surprise birthday. The first song that came on pandora was the remix of E.T. And at the party later, when handing out the cards for "Mafia", I would start singing the beat. (" DA NU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU DAAA NU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU!") It thoroughly annoyed a few girls, but everyone else thought it was hilarious.

End of story time.


Day 6 - The "Mother knows best" song from Tangled.

First, who DOESN'T love this movie? Please comment your address, so I can come hit you with a tack hammer.

I just love this song. It makes me laugh, and reminds me of when Helen and I were at Navajo Lake and we watched Tangled with everyone the last night.


So. Here's a picture for you.

Hot, right? I know. We be stunnas.

I can't explain this picture. So deal with it.

Also, I dyed those pants myself. Yup. I'm cool.

Silly Willy ;)

This is something I've been meaning to talk about for basically forever. And by that, I mean for about two weeks.

Nicknames.

I love nicknames. I give most people I meet a nickname. It's what I do. And some people are baffled by it, or confused, and so I shall now share my thoughts with you.

Nicknames are a sign of affection(unless you call some a poop face regularly because you hate them. That's a different story tho). When someone calls you a pet name, it's because they care about you. It's true.

I was recently dubbed "Ella" by a friend. Get those confused looks off your faces. "Ella" is short for "Nutella". It makes sense, and it's cute. Every time he calls me Ella, I feel happy and fuzzy because I know he cares.

My sister is named Rachel. I call her Rachey. Same thing. These nicknames are signs of affection. I love nicknames. A whole lot. 

Everyone in my phone(most everyone) has a nickname. Even tho I don't actually call them that, "Oh hey there, Platonic boom blast"(I just made that up...no one in my phone is named that...), it's because I care and because they're pretty great people and stuff. Here are some examples: (These are all taken straight from my phone book)

Alfredo Sauce

Appealing Attire

Boss

Brad Pitt Effect

Dill Pickle

Double D

Dream Disturber

Flipping Poop Woman

All of the above people are people that I care about. Like, for reals. And if I don't CARE about them, I definitely don't hate them. I could probably tell you who they all were. In fact, I will.

Out of order. None of these people actually correspond with the person in that order up there. ^^

Dallin   

Tori    

Julia      

Austin     

Dan       

Dillon      

Alex       

Alyssa

Kylar      

Anela

See? I care, or have cared, about all these people.

Nicknames. They are a wonderful part of life. I love them. I love calling people shortened versions of their names(except Helen. Hell isn't a good nickname), or a cute nickname that just the two of us know. It makes them special. It makes our relationship special.

I love nicknames. So next time I call you Mental Terrorist, or Fat Lard, or Pregnant Woman (I dunno. I'm just throwin ideas out), don't be offended. Smile a little and call me something equally unique/strange. And I promise our friendship will be better. ;)

BONUS:

In the comments, if I named you, try guessing what your nickname is. And even if you know what your nickname is...guess anyway. Comments make me feel happy.

AND if you're feeling truly daring, guess other people. 

Dear Friend...

So, everyone has challenging times in their lives. Everyone. It's just part of life. In the past few months, I've needed a lot of support from my friends. And in the past few weeks, I've been able to repay some of my friends through supporting them.
Now, I can never repay my friends back. Never ever. They've been there for me in ways that I can't be there for them. And that's ok.
This is a little....thing, that I put together in tribute to my friends. Certain friends. Now, yes, I stole this idea from my friend, Helen. She mushes a bunch of song lyrics together to make letters to her boyfriend, and I decided to do this, only for my friends.

Kudos if you can name every song it's from.

Dear Friend,

Friday night beneath the stars, in a field behind your yard, you and I are painting pictures in the sky. You’ve got a million ways to make me laugh. You’re lookin’ out for me, you’ve got my back, so good to have you around.

 If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can’t see, I’ll be the light to guide you. When you’re down and troubled and need a helping hand, and nothing, no nothing is going right. Close your eyes and think of me and soon I’ll be there to brighten up even your darkest nights. You can run into my arms. It’s okay, don’t be alarmed, come into me. Call me, if you need a friend.

You’re a true friend. You’re here til the end. You’ve stood by me, I’m happy at home with you. You’re my best friend. When I lose the will to win, I just reach for you and I can reach the sky again. I can do anything cuz your love is so amazing, cuz your love inspires me. I know when I need it I can count on you like 4, 3, 2, and you’ll be there, cuz that’s what friends are supposed to do.

When I’m with anybody else, it’s so hard to be myself. Only you can tell. That I’m only up when you’re not down, don’t wanna fly if you’re still on the ground. Hey, ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend? People can be so cold. Now that it’s raining more than ever, know that we still have each other. For the arms to be my shelter through all the rain, for truth that will never change for someone to lean on.

You can count on me, cuz I can count on you.

Love, Aurora

*insert interesting title here*

I survived midterms.
I love Helen more than I could hope to ever put into words. In fact, I kinda really wanna live with her. Like, just pack up and move there for like, 6 months. Just til summer, then I promise I'll come home and work my butt off for college. :P
Jacob and I are becoming friends again. Which is usually a VERY temperamental thing, our friendship.Oh yeah, I've never really talked about Jacob, huh? Well, that's cuz when I started this blog I was UBER pissed off at him. But I guess I shall give him an introduction.
About a year ago, last November probably, I was in one of my classes(online, remember) and it was kinda three classes combined that day. And I was on webcam flirting my head off with Casey ( ;) ) and my siblings come up behind me and start throwing stuffed animals at me simply because they thought it would be funny.
This boy named Jacob Earle sends me a message saying something along the lines of, "I understand, my siblings are like that too. Can I have your email?" In a not so creepy way. So i give it to him and he promptly emails me. Well my friend Dillon sends me a message that says that he's a creeper and I shouldn't talk to him and so I(being a total turd bucket) send him an email saying back off I'm not interested, cuz he really WAS flirting with me...
We kinda hated each other after that. We would talk occasionally, but it was reaaaalllly awkward. Until one day in March when we talked and somehow became really close. And somewhere in  the next few weeks, I considered him one of my best friends.
Aaaaand then in June I got kissed, and I told him and Jacob got PISSED cuz he wanted my first kiss to be Casey, but Casey and I had already broken up...yeah. Anyway, we had a ton of huge fights, and I kinda hated him. And that lasted until August...and we were at Elevation(my school camp thing) and they did this simulation where we were going to "die" in 2 hours and we could do anything that followed the rules for those two hours. I was like, it's a simulation, it won't be hard, I won't cry. Weeellll....that worked out fine, till I approached Jacob and he wrapped his arms around me. And I started bawling. Like, bawling my flippin eyes out. I almost started hyperventilating. Because I realized how horrible of a person I was and how rude I had been to him, and from that point, the simulation was real. Hardly half an hour would go without me bawling. And the last half hour, I was a freakin waterfall.
After that, I tried to be Jacob's friend, but he still didn't get the picture that whole week. Not until we got back did he get a clue.
We're currently mending our relationship...we'll see how it goes. He'll text me and start a great conversation, then he'll ignore me for a few days. And he won't ever finish that conversation. I'll be talking to cyber space. I really want to fix this, but it's not working...ugh.
Anyway. Life. Uh....Did I mention I love Helen to Eternal Salvation?? Cuz I do...
Casey is suuuuper moody, although he doesn't know it. ;)
My sister Rachel makes me cry almost more than Casey. Weird, huh? I'll tell you about that next time tho... ;)

School has taken over

School has completely taken over my life. :P
I have midterms next week that I am NOT prepared for...
Then why am I posting on here?
I needed to escape from Algebra 2, because I really don't care what x equals.And really, there was nothing on facebook that was interesting, and no one will email me back...I really should be doing math tho...curse those mathematicians...
All I really wanna do is magically find some candy in my sock drawer(it's all gone. I've checked at least 5 times today...), Skype Casey, and then sleep.
But Midterms won't allow this. It NEVER does...*sigh*
