i figured out why i like coming home the other day.
it's the control group.
it's the only place where i can go to evaluate who i am and get an accurate view of how far i've come. i've lived in this town my whole (remembering) life, in this same house, with the same, crazy neighbors.
have i changed?
do i see the world that i've always known differently?
this is my realization as to why it was so important for me to get out of this town.
so i always have somewhere to come home to.
so i have a place that will always have a piece of me...just in case i get lost.

need a good shave?
dear hfac girl,
bless your little heart, but it's not cool to wear your crepe hair beard around after your makeup class. especially if you have a short, boy haircut.
hugs and kisses,
nat

tea and things
to start off this blog, i would just like to give a shout out to my friends at celestial seasoning.
i'm loving on the honey chamomile tea.
(pic from google images.)
now on to the serious stuff.
below is an illustration of the accident i almost got in on sunday night.
yes. i drew it via paint, but i think it's a pretty good representation of the highway...and my brush with death.
the pinky/purple square represents my car.
the blue square represents the person that tried to cut me off.
the yellow diamond represents the carpool lane.
so i was driving along (at about 80 mph), listening to some horrible remake of walk like an egyptian. when this person (male or female, i know not) tries to get in my lane. i know that the far left lane is where it's at, because that's where i usually drive. however, it ISN'T the place to be when there is a car RIGHT NEXT TO YOU.
so this car cuts me off, i swerve to the left and then try to swerve back to the right so i don't cut off some unsuspecting driver in the carpool lane.
spin
spin
(space for dramatic effect.)
spin
spin
then...
stop.
dead engine.
no one hit me.
i hit no one.
and my car started once i stopped freaking out.
after a sob fest in the chevron parking lot(nearly fatal accidents make me cry, i guess) and a million prayers,
i got back on the road, stayed in the far right lane and went 50 mph the whole way home.
it's a miracle that i wasn't hurt. and it's a miracle that i didn't hit anyone in the process of spinning out of control.
i can handle a few broken bones or a smashed up car, but i couldn't deal with the fact that my car had hurt someone else.
Heavenly Father's looking out for all of us.
you better believe it.
p.s. i hate chemistry. "let's take math and add chemicals!!!! that'll be fun."

this is my confession.
okay.
so i'm going to be really frank here with you, my little bloggies (blog version of groupies).
i'm kind of in love with joe jonas.
i know i know.
he's a disney channel star.
he wears really tight white pants...often.
and he probably uses more hair product than i do.
but (!)
he's waiting until marriage.
he's close with his family.
and he used to kiss taylor swift.
on the mouth.
and
she wrote songs about it.
the only downside is, i think my 6 year old niece would give me the cold shoulder for quite a while if my dating-a-jonas-brother-but-preferably-not-the-baby-one dream came true.
blood before jo bro.
right?
besides, my little sweetie of a niece is way too cute to pass up.

will you share in my excitement?
good.
because i just bought the CUTEST earrings off of etsy.
i would post a picture, but since i bought the last pair...they've disappeared.
i'll post something later.
i feel so trendy, buying things off of etsy.
now i just need to learn how to knit (which i am horrible at) and buy a polaroid camera (can you say expensive film?) and i'll be in the blogging "in crowd."
in other news, i filed down my tiger claws, decorated brownies and won a symphony bar for being a good bowler.
life is good.

the daily special
this is a secret picture from the archives of sara's camera and i boosted the color on picasa.
are our lips naturally that pink? probably not.
are we naturally that awesome? why yes, of course.
anyways.
i had a case of the stomach flu this week. i hated it.
constantly uncomfortable + constantly nauseous = constantly grouchy.
for those who had the guts to talk to me during these times, i salute you.
watching house proves to be helpful in studying. they just mentioned heart waves found on an EKG (first heart sound at the end of the QRS wave, second at the end of the T wave), epilepsy (my kindred spirits) and tachycardia!
i have a human bio test tomorrow, how could you tell?
obama is the new president. on a scale of 1-10 my caring ranks at about a 3. pathetic? maybe. apathetic? always.
i really just hate conflict. i just want everyone to be happy again.
let's unite as americans.
like when everyone decided they hated bush and used it as sitcom punchlines.
those were the days.
attention all.
listen to the song "i'd give it all for you" by jason robert brown.
yes. it's a showtune. from a MUSICAL. you'll get over it.
i've listened to it probably 15 times today.
i should become jewish. maybe i'd write really good songs then.
it's decided then.
shalom, ya'll.
