This blanket it so soft, it's made of unicorns

Day 17 - A song that never gets old

I set fire to the rain ~ Adele. I love this song. I can sing at the top of my lungs to this everyday. Not literally, but you get the picture. ;)

Day 18 - A song that makes me laugh

A Dream is a Wish your Heart Makes ~ Cinderella. This song makes me laugh a lot. No, I won't share why.

Day 19 - The most beautiful song

God Be With You Til We Meet Again ~ I have no idea. Yeah, I don't know who wrote this. But I love it. It's one of the few songs that has made me cry tears of JOY multiple times. I just love it a whole lot.

Day 20 ~ A song with terrible singing

How about every song on the radio?!?! No? Okay. Kiss ~ Carly Rae Jepson. Just...that woman was a one hit wonder. End of story.

Day 21 - The best love song

Lucky ~ Jason Mraz. So, this isn't the BEST per say, but it's one of my favorites. So..yeah.


Okay. Now, my excuse for not posting since last Thursday. I got mah wisdom teeth out. Woooohooo. No, I didn't really look like a chipmunk. And yes, I have recovered extremely quickly. Yes, I am pretty awesome. You didn't ask that? My bad...

Just so you don't have to ask, yes, they took videos. And yes, they're pretty funny. So, you're welcome. They didn't video tape me telling everyone about how my blanket was made of unicorns, which I apparently stated as soon as they put me in my bed. But now I've told you, so you'll survive. Anyway, I was very drugged up all of Friday, and in a lot of pain Saturday and Sunday. Yesterday started painfully, but then I somehow got better part way through the day. It's gone up and down a bit, but it's very tolerable. So yes, on day 4 I was totally functional. Driving, doing homework, all that. In Seminary this morning, my teachers jaws dropped upon hearing I'd gotten my teeth out. It made me feel a little bit cool.

My post today has an actual purpose tho. And it is this: I know some of the most amazing people on the planet. Let us begin.

My mother. Oh my lanta, my mother. I love her so much. She drove me to get my teeth out, obviously, and then wiped my tears as soon as they'd woken me up(I don't know why I was emotional, okay?). She also cleaned up all of my drool as I consistently asked whether or not I had a tongue, and felt it. She tucked me into bed, and made sure I got all of my health pills and such on time. AND she made me smoothies everyday. And poached eggs, once I could sorta chew. Friday night was movie night, and there was a specific movie they wanted to watch, but they changed it because as they were reading the description I started crying cuz of the violence(my emotions were messed up...). My mom is incredible, and I am so blessed to have such an amazing and wonderful mother. I just am.

Rachel. As soon as I got home, she sat on my bed with me and held my hand as I dozed in and out of consciousness. She also sang to me. And read to me. And then she watched Doctor Who with me for like, 4 hours. And she offered to let me sleep on the pullout bed with her the first night because I was sorta upset. And I'd already passed out there. She babied me when I really needed it, and it was nice. She religiously iced each side of my face for 20 minutes each, back and forth, and she'd rub my jaw cream stuff on my face. It's just...I am so lucky to have such an amazing sister.

Ian. Ian is always making sure I'm okay. He has a concussion, but he is STILL checking up on me, and making sure that I'm okay. It's nice to know that I have some amazing friends that really care, and that their love for me still exists even tho they're 12 + hours away.

Georgi. This girl has checked up on me every single day. On Friday, she came over to make sure I was okay. She didn't stay long, cuz she had to babysit, but the action of her coming made me happy. Saturday she brought me starbucks and did my nails. She's texted me every single day, just making sure that I'm okay, and wondering if there's anything she can do to help me. Holy shiz I've been blessed with great friends.

I am an incredibly blessed individual. I just am. The past 5 days really showed me that. I am so blessed. And I love the people that I've been blessed with so so much.  

Anyway. Now you know how much I love people. The end.

Don't be so messy next time

First things first...

Day 15 - The song with the best lyrics.

Who comes up with these anyways??? I dunno. Whatever.

Little Wonders ~ Rob Thomas. Just...nuff said.



Day 16 - A song you'd like to dedicate to someone you hate.

Jar of Hearts ~ Christina Perri.


Okay. Now, lucky for all ya'll, I collected a few awkward moments for you. Mainly, the first one...



Awkward:

I was at Georgi's house on Tuesday. And we decided it would be funny to text a boy she used to like, from my phone. I say, "I hid the body. Happy now?" to which he replied, "Lol, I think you have the wrong number." So I answer, "Nope, I don't think so *insert boys name here*. What do you want me to do?" Well, he didn't answer. Which was fine. About 15 minutes later, my phone rings. It's a number I don't recognize, but I figure it might be work related or something, so I answered it. Any guesses on who it was? It was his mother...after realizing my name was Aurora, she handed the phone to her son to talk to me. I quickly apologized and hung up, and Georgi and I laughed, quite awkwardly, about it for at least ten minutes.  We didn't learn our lesson, obviously, because we decide that she should text the boy that I like from her phone. She says, "I hid the body. Don't be so messy next time." And he responds with something along the lines of, "Who is this?? I'll report you!" And he said he'd report the number to the cops. So she flips poo and tells him who it is and says, "Aurora will never love you if you do that!" *facepalm* It was a bunch of, "Oh my gosh what's wrong with him" and a lot of quick texting. It was so awkward. So so so awkward.

You know that awkward moment when you remember every time anyone's ever fed you grapes? Yup...That's what happens when you watch strange movies.

I was at a birthday party on Friday, and everyone began openly saying that the boy I'm interested in is annoying, and obnoxious, and blah blah blah. It was really awkward for me, cuz none of them knew I liked him....it was real awkward.

At said birthday party, one of the girls told this scary story. I won't tell you the whole story, because you might hate me. But it basically made it super hard for me to leave her house. In the dark. And drive home. Alone. I considered calling Ian, but his head was hurting really bad that night, and it was late. So I didn't. I just loudly sang primary songs, and then I freaking RAN into my house, and slid my back against the walls so the thing couldn't sneak up behind me and eat me. The girl who shared the lovely story couldn't believe that we freaked out so much. Aaaaand my parents gave me some weird looks.

On the drives home from Seminary, we like to turn the radio on to the part where they're all talking, ya know? And then we'll turn the volume off and then up, over and over, so we catch just bits of their sentences. Just so we can see how ridiculous they sound. It's really funny, try it next time you're in your car. Well, today, the radio people were talking about honeymoons....let's just say, we almost peed our pants from the sheer awkwardness of it all. Yeah.

Nicholas is real short. For the past week, he's been complaining about the sun being in his eyes. And I just kept saying, "I'll bring you some phone books tomorrow, okay?" I always forget. So, he'll take all of our blankets and pile them up on his seat, and sit on them. And it's frickin hilarious. Especially when, today, just as we were getting in the car, one of my friends came to his window to ask me a question. And had to ask, "Nicholas...I thought you were shorter..." and he looked so confused.

K, so there was a dance on Saturday. And I wore a batman shirt. Which was awesome. After the dance, a group of us went to sonic. Well, we're stupid. Cuz we forgot that it was COLD. We all huddled together outside for a bit, and then got into Brooke's minivan and cranked the heater. So, I'm sitting next to my friend, Kolton. And he really likes batman too. So, he makes a circular motion with his hand and points to the batman symbol, which is on my chest, and says, "I had this first, understand??" and it got reaaaallly quite. And then his friend busts up and he says, "No! I meant the shirt, I had the shirt first!" And it was really hilarious, although it was somewhat inappropriate.

I'm doing no-shave November. Everyone thinks I'm kidding, but I'm serious. I haven't shaved my legs in over two weeks. I have an impressive amount of hair. If guys can go all that time without shaving, then so can I! Anyway, in the car after the dance, Kolton says something about not shaving. All of the girls in the car proudly announce the last time they'd shaved. Mostly that day. Wusses. Anyway, I say, "Oh yeah. I shaved today too." And I rolled my eyes. As a joke, many people reached for my leg, like to feel it?(I was wearing jeans. Don't worry, I don't show off the hair) And I said, "Just kidding, guys...I'm doing no-shave November...I haven't shaved all month." And the boys instantly recoiled. One of them gagged. I died laughing.

The batman shirt? I considered wearing it today. And when I got to Seminary, I saw that Kolton was wearing his. I can't decide whether that would've been awesome or awkward...



Awesome:

RACHEL GETS HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS TODAY. Holy shiznicklebiscuits. I am so excited. I have missed her so effing much. And she gets home TODAY. Like, her plane lands in 15 minutes. HOLY SON OF A BISHOP. Okay. I'm calm now.

I got a friggin Batman shirt.

The thing from the scary story didn't eat me.

I learned how to take in some pants that are super baggy. Woot!

I fixed my broken flat iron. With duct tape. Like a boss.

I turned in all of my assignments I was behind in! Well...except for...except for the ones I haven't yet. BUT IT'S A START. Besides, there aren't that many behind.

I have become super addicted to Doctor Who...I'm almost done with Season 2...and I'm not sure whether or not to be proud of this fact...

David Tennant is hot. And that's awesome. Like...a whole butt ton of sexy.

Beka and I discovered that Obama was the devils' fart. (Remember the post about that? Read it here. And then I mentioned it again here). It was just...it was just funny. And awesome.  (I mean no disrespect to the guy...okay, maybe a little bit...)


That's about it for now, peeps. I'm just gonna watch Doctor Who until Rachel gets here...

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... ;)
