Home again!

So, 54 bug bites later and I am finally back from camp. From what I can tell, I missed a party, the Harry freaking Potter premiere (NEED TO SEE ASAP), my hamster losing all his hair, the space shuttle, a couple epic sunburns, and eating crap food (I've missed you mozzarella sticks). I am so psyched for Zooey's b-day party, just because I freaking miss people and need to catch up really badly. Camp was actually really fun, and I made some great friends, did some good farming, did some awesome flips in a hayloft and met some nerdfighters. All and all it was a pretty good time. I missed the internet just a little, but I missed people getting my references/understanding my jokes more. I also missed showering and not smelling like poo. Yesterday I learned that henna hair dye, while it seems like a cool idea and has some pretty cool results is not worth a green bathtub or scrubbing your sisters head. If I ever get highlights, I'm doing it with a legit kit. Project runway comes back in a weekish so...yay. Note to self; moar John Green. Did I mention I'm excited for boston? And I miss people? A lot? Guys? Ava, we need to plan an epic beach day, stat. Mosquitos, you need to fuck the fuck off.
Song(s) of the moment: Lisztomania-Phoenix
FOR REAL LISTEN TO THIS IT'S GOOD SHIT
Also Helplessness blues-Fleet Foxes.
P.S. It's really hot outside x(

Yeah...

1. So I am super excited to head out to WA on thursday. I can't wait to see my family and have fun times. Really excited.
2. To fill the void left by my finishing dr. who, I have been watching The Big Bang Theory, which, if you haven't seen it, is the best show in the history of shows and it is so incredibly hilarious and amazing and wonderful and it is soooo funny. WATCH THIS
3. I like summer a lot
4. So today, we were walking around mystic village, near the aquarium, and we saw one of those stores that sells stuff like crystals and fancy rocks and incense for magical type people to communicate with the earth or whatever, and sam saw it, and asked us if we could go in. We asked him why, and he told us he thought it would be a good place to find Harry Potter merchandise.
5. WASHINGTON

Sisterhood of the traveling blogs 1.1

Yeah...see Honor's blog if you don't get this.
(I'm assuming you mean an actual lobster and not L)
1. First, wonder wtf a lobster is doing in a well seeing as they live in salt water
2. Feel sad for the fact that the lobster will probably die shortly
3. Use my super duper climbing skills to climb out of the well, leaving the dead lobster behind.

Sisterhood of the traveling blogs 2.0
If you were trapped on a desert island for a while, and could magically get 3 different types of food (or drink) delivered to you whenever you wanted (You already have a water source and a food source, but it's not that good) what would they be and why?

Dr. whooves

Gotta love it when the fans of two different things come together to create awesomeness. And now that I have watched every single dr who episode of the new series, I have no clue what to do with my time.

Project L

So yeah. People are leaving this year. It's pretty crappy. That's why I'm proposing project L. This will be a compilation of cards, gifts, and that kind of thing for both bros who are leaving. If all goes according to plan, this will also include an awesome going away party. I'd like to kick this project off with a giant card for Le I'm making that we will all sign and give to him at the end of the year. Here's the text I plan to put inside, please give me edits or things you'd like to add, seeing as this is meant to be a letter from all of us. 10 points if you can read it without crying (my current score is 0).


I’m sure you’ll admit that we have all had some pretty great times together. And I’m also sure you’ll agree that none of us want you to go. It makes it harder to know that you will be about a thousand miles away. It’s impossible to deny the fact that we’re all going to miss you like crazy and that things just won’t be the same without you and your music, your sketchy jokes, your crush on Jack, your leg wounds, and your general charm and likeability. But we’ve got to accept the fact that soon, you will no longer be an immediate part of our everyday lives, and that soon, you’re just not going to be around anymore. Change of any kind is hard, but it’s even harder when you lose people you care about. Like it or not though, it’s part of life. Change is inevitable. That’s why we need to suck it up and give you our support. We’d like to wish you the best in your travels. We hope you’ll face everything that comes your way with optimism and courage. We hope that wherever you go you’ll find adventure and friendship, and we hope that you will always have a place where you feel a sense of love and belonging. Above all, however, we hope that you always remember to keep in touch, and that you come back and visit from time to time. Losing a person as wonderful and incredible as you isn’t going to be easy for us, and I’m sure none of this is easy for you, so I just want you to know that we’ll always be here for support and encouragement whenever you need it, and we’ll all be here if you just need a good laugh. Lewis, I hope you’ll never forget us, because we sure as hell are never going to forget you. Thanks for all the memories, good and bad. Things around here aren’t going to be the same without you.
With love, (signatures here)

Dear Bros of the Internet

Dear bros of the internet and irl,
It's me. Hi. I'm a girl. I use the internet. (It sure beats hanging out in the kitchen all the time) Heres something you might not want to hear. I know memes. This may be hard to understand, but using the internet as much as I do, (too much) it's kind of hard not too. And I'm not just talking about memebase or know your meme or whatever, I'm talking tumblr and reddit and all those other places where memes take shape. This means that I know memes pretty soon after they form and become popular. (maybe I even know them before you do) This being said, I would like to say PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't pretend like you own memes or the internet or the games you play. I realize knowing these things makes you seem cool, and when more people start knowing them, you seem less cool, but I have just as much right to use memes in my everyday life as you, or anyone else who has stumbled across the internet does. Please don't pretend like you invented or even introduced these memes, because you probably didn't. I don't mean to sound all high and mighty, or above you, because in the end we're all just losers who waste our time browsing the web for a laugh, so please don't pretend to be an internet wizard who is all knowing and always brings the lols that no one else is allowed to use because they are lame and are just repeating what you told them.
Love, me.

So yeah. That's my rant. I'm tired and bored and may end up regretting posting this. Just to make things clear, I don't actually feel that strongly about this or anyone I know, it's more of a based on a true story kinda thing.

Also, I have a confession to make. I am a brony. Well...a female brony. This is pretty hard to admit, but a brony is pretty much a bro who watches the kids show "my little pony: friendship is magic." Now, I know EXACTLY how this sounds, and that was my reaction when I first heard about the cult following of 20 year old men this show has gathered, but I watched one of the 22 minute videos that have been uploaded to youtube, and I instantly understood the hype. It's a cast of six incredibly well developed pony characters, a baby dragon, and a pegasus princess. The reason this show is amazing is because it's barely childish, and can truly be enjoyed by people older than age 8. It's funny and really adorably drawn and the stories are entertaining and surprisingly not very cheesy or kidish. It is a show that just makes you happy, because it's impossible to be sad or stressed or worried while watching it. If you don't believe me...here's another person describing the appeal, and a link to the first episode, which is not nececarily the best episode (For if you ever get really really really really bored.)

Rejection

So yeah. No studio for me. Whatever. I can deal.
As much as I'd love to whine and complain about how I really wanted to get in, sob about how I'm so disappointed, and mope about how I guess my art skills aren't as good as I thought they were, I won't. I can't.
As I'm sure you all know, rejection hurts. It makes you reevaluate your skills, your talent, and your life. It makes you upset that you will be left alone to watch all your friends go while you sit out and watch them because they're all better than you. It makes you hate them, just a little, even though you know how RIDICULOUS that thought is because they deserve it and you should be happy for them, even though you can't help but feel jealous as they post their well-deserved happiness all over their facebook walls.
But I'm not here to cry and bitch and whine about how much my life sucks and how I hate my life, because I know this isn't the end of the world. I can be resilient and move on from this setback. I can take this lesson and learn from it. I can make it a goal to improve myself and my art. I can bounce back and get better and move forward. And best of all, I can take every single art class and later do seminar, which I will love.
Yes, I am disappointed and upset, but that will pass, and eventually I will come out of my rejection with all the positives in mind, and move towards becoming the best artist I can be.
