My least favorite part of a book is when the conflict, characters and setting are all introduced, the story sets off and then everything is perfectly wonderful. Look for it ... it's there in nearly every novel, the happy time. I hate to be a downer, but that's your clue that all Hell is about to let loose, inconveniently popping the pristine bubble.
Wellll, seeing as my life is perched high above cloud nine at the moment, should this be my clue that it's about to come whooshing down? Yeah ... crap.
Aw, who cares anyway? At the moment I'm cruising along in la la land and I'm fully prepared to take advantage of it for as long as possible! I've got two sweet nephews, one of whom just barely made his dazzling appearance, heaps of treats a mile wide, no school, no responsibilities, a brand new array of Christmas presents, people around me WAY more wonderful than I deserve (you know who you are BAHA), siblings I miss like crazy and siblings I'd LIKE to miss (just kidding ... kinda.), a back yard full of perfectly packable snow ... annnnd....
Hours worth of homework. A desperate need to get back into shape before season starts with ZERO will power. A two hour drive between me and those two sweet nephews. A disaster of a room ....
Hmm ... out of sight out of mind right? Right! BAHAHA how about instead of taking care of any of those things or prioritizing my life, I sit up here and type to you all about it!
I mean, there's enough good to let the bad slide by, right? There's enough good that I can slack in everything and just smile around at the happy go lucky things gliding by .... I hope.
Or I could turn over a new leaf and make all the goods better.
Work=results
slacking=no results.
Huh. Who woulda thought?
Gosh dang it, I gotta go clean my room now. Sighhhh ...
Well good bye all! Have a happy, somewhat productive 2011!

What to do, what to do...
I love to run my own life!
Oh right. That's why it's driven into a hole.
Well, I'm hoping that you all (meaning you ... one? Two maybe?) have some ideas for me. Here is my list of questions I need help on:
1) What should I write my column "Are You Kidding me?" about this month? It can be basically about anything but generally it's something that somewhat fits the title. Feel free to suggest anything that your imagination has let loose on.
2) If you lost your mathbook so you were rendered unable to do a chapter's worth of homework assignments (about 60% of my grade) what would you do? Besides FRANTICALLY SEARCH FOR IT I mean.
3) There are only so many hair-do's I am capable of before my fruitless attempts become hair-DON'Ts. Down straight, down curly, in a ponytail, in a bun. Any simple suggestions?
4) When everything and everything keeps driving you deeper and deeper in that endless rut of pessimism and seriously, being a bubbly, optimistic, vivacious mask of teenage girl perfection is what you'd love to be ... except pessimism is so much easier ... and often more humorous.
5) When gosh dang you can't watch the Jazz games on your TV and have to watch the slow, buffering play by plays on ESPN.com
6) Story ideas? I'm so desperate to write, but my creativity is sooo washed out.
7) Boys ... ha ha, never mind, we won't go there.
8) What should I paint/draw for an art contest? (Ha ha, yes of course it's required, no of course I wouldn't enter an art contest by myself!)
9) What do you do when you often have the urge to let go and screeeeeaaaaaaam because your blood feels like it's boiling? Because giving in to that can be a little awkward, let me tell ya. (Joke. That last sentence was a joke.)
10) And finally, what do you do when you're a freak because all you want to be is OUT of high school even though Yes, you know very well it's an easy life with no responsibility, and Yes, you get that these days pass too quickly and you'll want them back as soon as you don't have them and Yes, you understand that to you'll reflect back on these days with fondness ... yeah, I know, I believe all of that. But I either want to be young enough to associate with little kids every day or old enough to associate with little kids every day. Weird as it may sound, there's no other group of people who I can be so optimistic and so patient and so validated with for so long.
Ok, done with all of those questions. Sorry, I make an effort not to let serious, important things to me bleed their way (bleed as in ink on paper, NOT actual blood) onto a blog post, but occasionally it's nice to vent. If people started reading this thing, I'd have to be a little more careful. So ciao, or adieu! (Yes, of course the French is necessary. Do you even understand how proud I am of finally knowing what that spells?)

Sierendipity
How exciting to have a blank box to say whatever the heck I want.
First of all, to the few who will ever look at this post (I'm thinking of one who will definitely read this - the fly buzzing around my head.) I just want to explain the title of my blog. As I did not know until now, the word serendipity means:
–noun
First of all, to the few who will ever look at this post (I'm thinking of one who will definitely read this - the fly buzzing around my head.) I just want to explain the title of my blog. As I did not know until now, the word serendipity means:
–noun
1.
an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident.
2.
good fortune; luck
which, when mixed with my name not only made a really pretty cool word, but also a pretty cool meaning. It's just so ... positive. As anyone who knows me knows, I am a pretty positive person. But as anyone who knows me pretty well knows, I am actually NOT AT ALL. I'm really dramatic, and like making silly little trial-like things into crisis's. And reading lots of blogs lately, I've realized that so many people out there are just so negative.
Which is why, this is my positive blog post.
So here I go with my list of things that make me happy:
*Tomorrow is my birthday.
*This means that all my family will come
*and I will get presents (bahaha)
*little kids
*books
*laughing HARD
*laundry just barely out of the drier
*stuffed animals
*clean rooms
*CingTR (haha, get it?)
*Waking up and thinking about how I heroically refused a bowl of ice cream, chocolate, etc. the day before (which doesn't happen often these days.)
*Wes
*Air conditioning
*fruit
*specifically oranges
*the phone being for me
*getting to depend on someone else financially and emotionally. I have almost zero responsibility.
*the thought of school starting.
Wow, I could go on forever. So, this year for my birthday, I just want to give myself an attitude adjustment. People have no right to be ungrateful ... well, at least I don't. And I'm a snot about all of my stuff. So from now on I'm going to be just better and more grateful..........
Just don't hold me to that :)
