A real life real time account of a girl awake while everyone is sleeping

It's about 2 days later now, and just so you know I never did fall asleep...

So I’m sitting on a plane right now. Everyone is asleep. I’m bored. That’s pretty much it for the moment. I have no Internet on this plane so I’m typing this in Microsoft word and I guess I’ll upload it to this blog later.

Thoughts and questions of the moment

1. 1. My life is kind of awesome. 2 weeks ago my mother and I decided to randomly jet off to London over the vacation and we’re actually doing it.
2. 2. Sometimes we really are the Gilmore Girls.
3. 3. Why are the words “Internet” and “Microsoft” capitalized? I guess Microsoft is a name, but why Internet?
4. 4. I feel like Carrie Bradshaw right now. Is it weird typing late at night about my thoughts makes me feel really cool?
5. 5. Why is it that I can never sleep when I’m supposed to? I purposely prevented myself from falling asleep on my connecting flight to Chicago, because it was a short flight and I wanted to be able to sleep on this long one, but now I can’t sleep anyways. Everyone around me is asleep and were somehow (with all the time changes) landing in London at 6 a.m. and I’m going to have to walk around the whole day on no sleep. London better have good coffee or I’m going to die.
6. 6. I’m happy to be all caught up on gossip girl! What an accomplishment! Haha
7. 7. I don’t care how fat they are going to make me… I love oreos…so much
8. 8. I hate that when I don’t have stress it doesn’t feel right so I think I must be forgetting something
9. 9. I need to remember to be a kid
10. 10. I think that the universe has been trying to tell remind me to be a kid
11. 11. I actually enjoy reading
12. 12. I actually enjoy reading crappy teen novels
13. 13. I only enjoy reading about love
14. 14. Why is everything else but love boring?
15. 15. I wish I was more cultured, but culture bores me
16. 16. Does anyone actually enjoy culture?
17. 17. All my thoughts always lead me back to the same question of what I see/hear/smell/etc is the same as what other people are seeing/hearing/smelling/etc
18. 18. Sometimes I wish I had a reality show or something to show all the moments when I feel cool (such as the one right now)
19. 19. I miss my friends
20. 20. I miss my friends a lot
21. 21. I hope my friends don’t have too much fun without me
22. 22. I hope people miss me when I’m not there
23. 23. I hope people notice when I’m not there
24. 24. I hope people wonder where I am when I’m not there
25. 25. I hope I am a little bit of a mystery
26. 26. Sometimes I think nobody knows anything about me, but then I realize how obvious everything about me is and it’s a little disappointing
27. 27. I’m so happy the flight attendant just brought me water
28. 28. I was thirsty and didn’t even realize!
29. 29. Maybe I should be a flight attendant? The CW show about flight attendants made there lives look awesome but I doubt its really like that…
30. 30. I wish I was alive to fly on planes back in the day when people dressed up for them and everyone would drink and smoke on the plane like a big party
31. 31. Back to what I was taking about before, it’s confusing when you move somewhere new because you’re used to everyone actually knowing everything about you, but when you move nobody does. You make friends and you forget they didn’t know you back when you were a fat, ugly little girl. It makes you wonder whether they would have been your friend. It makes you wonder if people had known you then, if they would approve of you now. It’s not like I was some awful person that nobody talked to before, but my life was different. I’m not used to boys who actually know me having any interest in even talking to me. But I guess they don’t really know me. Its just like how the random boys liked me when the ones in school never did. These are the random boys. They don’t know me. I know that nobody knows me, but I wonder if they think they do?
32. 32. My mom just waved at me……
33. 33. WHY IS EVERYONE ASLEEP?! IM BORED!
34. 34. I want to get up to the front of the plane and tell everyone whose awake to come sit with me and talk to me and we can all share our life stories and become best friends
35. 35. Remember that time I woke you up?
36. 36. That was to you. Because I’m sure at some point I have woken you up.
37. 37. I think the reason I’m a morning person is because when I was younger I went to my friend’s house in the morning sometimes and her mom had always been up for always and done something really productive like bake cookies or something and I wanted to do that too
38. 38. This list could go on forever
39. 39. Maybe I should stop?
40. 40. Ok I’m on number 40 so I’m going to go back to reading a book about teenage summer romance and hope my life turns out just like the girl in the book who finds the perfect boy and they fall in love and live happily ever after…sound good? Good Night! Let’s hope I can sleep for a bit!

And the seasons they go round and round

I am so incredibly affected by the seasons, so lately my mood has been pretty down because I'm so bored of the cold snow and just want summer! Today was a snow day though so I didn't let the winter weather get me down. I took advantage of the white world around me and had some fun taking pictures with my sister and hanging out with friends. Spring will be here soon enough so I'm just trying to enjoy the winter because I know I'll miss it as soon as it's gone...

An 'Insider's' Perspective

I have never seen this much snow before. Ever. I wasn't willing to leave the heated comfort of my house, so excuse the window screen in the way of a couple but I wanted to take a couple of pictures anyways to capture the craziness and remember the day the world turned white.

Also, I just found out that my neighbor chopped off three of his fingers in the snow blower today! I hope the don't turn up on my lawn....

Stuck in a Rut

"You’re only a teenager. You’re not yet married, so go with the flow, laugh tons, use manners, and try something new. Will you just kiss him already? Trust your feelings, spend your cash, introduce yourself, take a chance, study hard, seek happiness, and regret nothing. Don’t laugh at people’s dreams, make a wish on 11:11, challenge yourself, take pictures and appreciate the memories. You should make time to dance in your underwear, and learn from the past. Play dress up and then take all your clothes off. Have the time of your life."

My life has never been exhilarating but most of the time I am able to keep myself entertained with nonsense. Being home sick last night left me with nothing. All I could do was think, but there was nothing I could actually do. I came across the quote written above while on tumblr and it got me excited for life again. I can't wait to be back in the world with my friends (even if it is at school)! I'm inspired to do whatever I want. I'm going to limit my stress, enjoy my life, and work hard for what I want without holding back.

MEOW

If you were to look at my tumblr right now you would either think I was crazy, tacky, freakishly obsessed, or awesome. I've loved cheetah print ever since I can remember but my obsession has grown in the past few years since it came into style (forcing my sister to finally approve, and making the pattern much more available).

The other night I was feeling a little down due to stresses of all sorts, but as weird as it sounds, looking at all the fashionable girls in their cheetah print helped cheer me up. The next day I was sure to wear a bit of my favorite pattern in the inside of my coat and every time I saw it I felt a little better. Cheetah's are the king cats. They have confidence and the out-there bold coat they wear can only be pulled off with the help of confidence. I love the print for this reason and I'm pretty sure I always will.

Sagittarius Horoscope 1/6/11

"What is happiness, Sagittarius? The answer is, of course, open to interpretation. However, one thing it is not is a constant state of euphoria. Happiness exists because sadness and a host of other emotions also exist. You wouldn't be able to recognize it if it weren't contrasted by some darker, less appealing feelings. Be grateful for the challenges you have faced and the lessons you have learned, even those that were not pleasant. They have given you an ability to recognize end enjoy true happiness. This is a year to put things in better perspective, and to revel in your joy."

"The Faith Uniform"

One of my best friends, Faith, grew up all her life having to wear a uniform to school. That changed this year when she transferred to my school and since then she has expressed her style in a uniform of her own.

She often wears an outfit composed of two basic items....

A tight solid print mini dress or skirt

(Forever 21 - around $8.00)

With a loose cropped sweater on top

(Forever 21 - $17.80)

This is me in the Faith Uniform

I curled my extensions and added a Michal Golan necklace
I completed the outfit with sheer black stockings and my simple black ugg boots
Personal style is so important but it was fun to dress up like somebody else for the day!

Counties Dress Ideas

Counties is a black tie dance where girls wear gowns with escorts who wear tuxes and nobody can get away with looking like the usual slob they are. I've never been to a formal dance and my main excitement about going is getting a dress! I have been thinking about and shopping nonstop for the perfect dress. I probably will not end up with any of these because I don't plan on ordering one online, but these are just some ideas I can keep in mind while shopping. I would love to wear a light pink dress and one that is very flowy, not stiff. Number 4 is my favorite but I love all of these so hopefully I can find some similar ones when I venture into the land of malls and department stores this weekend.

New years eve did not go quite as planned....or maybe it did? Tracks changed and plans got screwed up but in the end my horoscope was right; I had a great time. My friends were all I needed to have fun and we made sure it happened.

My new year's resolution this year was to not have any resolutions (besides that one of course). Just like everyone else in the world, I can never keep them and I disappoint myself. I put enough pressure on myself already and this is I am determined to let go a little more. I need to learn to relax and have fun because in the long run, 2011 is probably not going to affect my life too much. Or maybe it will? But I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
