I love fine restaurants. So classy. Guess I should put my phone down and join in the classy behavior.

I love having my friends over. I can't remember the last time we had a sleepover! We all had so much, I can't wait to spend another day with them. Next time is Santa Cruz beach boardwalk!

Only my favorite jelly beans ❤

Symbolism

Don't remember exactly what I wrote. The petals say "I'm pretty" and "I'm not". The green I did first, does green always have to be calming?

The flowers second.

Then the white. "Pure", "clean" it says a lot.

The red last. Red is a symbolistic oxymoron. How can you represent love, hate, lust, fury, anger, affection all in one?

Don't know why I decided to do this.

Oh, under the red branch says "BRANCHING OUT"

Beauty is everywhere

I was having a conversation with my friend and she said "they're only gay if they act on it."


:O



Oh, okay thank you.




So I'm not black unless I act on it. Got it.

What makes a girl a woman?

Not growing breasts.

Not growing hair.

Not losing her virginity.

What makes a girl a woman

Is her fully matured mind.

Is finding out who you are.

Is being self-sufficient.

Is being your own self,

Strong,

Beautiful,

Emotional.

Boobs

I'm watching a documentary on boobs. What is our society's obsession with them? And why is it that women with large breasts are automatically deemed promiscuous? Other countries do not value and worship them as we do.
Documentaries really interest me and make me think. Why do we value beauty and sexuality among all other aspects of what females can offer? Yes, we have breasts. Our society makes us BELIEVE that breasts are supposed to be sexual. In Africa it's ye butt, in the middle east, it's the belly; in Japan it's the nape of the neck. Our society makes us attracted to them. In most other countries, breasts are not valued as they are in America.
Why is bigger better? Why can't I be as happy with my flat chest as the next girl with double D sized breasts? Another thing that happens to tick me off is breast feeding. Why do people hate it so much? Breast feeding helps babies to be healthy, allergy-free, disease free throughout their lives.
My thing is: what's the big deal? If you don't like breast feeding, turn your back and look at something else! Why is it so awkward? You know what boobs are, you know what they do, you know how they do it. Breasts are natural and everyone has them. Don't bash other people for doing what they want to do. It's not your body, it's not your child. I guess that's all for today.

Fried fish :)

?

Did I just have an epiphany? Maybe I need to stop being such a dork and a weirdo. Stop trying to be super girl and fix everything. Stop pressing and pressing and pressing until things explode. Maybe I need to be a little less annoying, a little less... Me

Something is awesome about laying down and taking a cat nap in the sun on the beach. Gotta love the smell of that salty water!

Lay's Sunflower seeds

I love sunflower seeds. So good. Never know if you're gonna get a burnt one, a regular one, or one that's REALLY GOOD. My advice: when buying sunflower seeds, pick the bag with the least amount of air in it. Those have sort of a freshness seal that makes them flavorful and delicious! More than ususal, that is.

The Twilight Zone

I love watching the twilight zone. I don't know why, but I have a thing for old tv shows and movies. The things they call 'classic' with the racist animations of Asian and black people are frowned upon but also still kept available. Tom and Jerry is a perfect example. I LOVE that cartoon. Watching Tom and Jerry with my dad on Saturday mornings is one of my favorite memories; but there's still racism in it. Don't know why I went on THAT rampage..

Love

Dr. Seuss' quote about love is the most accurate description I've ever heard. “We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.” ― Dr. Seuss. I find that incredibly true. I know all too well how young girls try to find someone with whom they will never argue with, who will love drown them in love and affection and think every burp and fart is the cutest thing in the world. People like that don't exist, but tell that to Disney movies. What love should be is a partnership. A support system. Your significant other should be someone who understands you, someone who makes you a better person and helps you out in the challenges you face every day. That should be your happily every after. Arguing, fighting, tears, crying, but also good times, smiling, laughing, and little moments that make it all worthwhile. I wish this on everyone and want it to be denied to no one.

People

People are so different. I like it! I wish there was a way to people-watch without being creepy. My psych teacher told me that if you could see the things people do when no one is around, some of it would be awesome stuff that you'd want to try, but most of it would be disgusting. No matter what, I think people-watching would be fun :)

I like finding out things.

I don't usually go looking for things. I don't know why. I really should, as it's helpful. Luckily, my boyfriend made me explore things on websites. Without him, I'd still be computer ignorant. I really hate technology. It's just so complicated. (Everything is, when you don't understand it, though.) I tried it, though. It's pretty amazing. I should really try to find things on my own more often. Being eighteen, a legal adult, means so much responsibility all at once. All of a sudden I have to be self-sufficient and do things on my own. It's scary. But finding out how to work websites on my own is a great place to start, I suppose!
