MLK, Blonde, Clean Life.

Afternoon Blogger,

I've had a laid back, but overall good weekend. he good stuff made up for the bad stuff. Friday night I spent time with Scott. We went to Starbucks then back to his place to fill out college stuff. Meh. Scott is an amazing young man. He'll be twenty one in March, and I consider him a role model, He's just fantastic, and I'm lucky to even know him, let alone call him my best friend. Here he is.
I took this picture. I'm proud of it.

Anywho, Saturday was spent cleaning my room and doing laundry at the laundry mat with Scott, then we went and got lunch at Which Wich, which was really good. Later that night I went to my best friend Alexis' house, but went home early to sleep.
 Sunday, I cleaned my car out, worked a ten hour shift, then spent the night with Alexis. We played Just Dance 2, the best game in the world, dyed our hair back to how it used to be in '08. I'm missed this length, and these colors. Here's how it used to look.

 But, I exalted much bravery and did my bangs this time.

Auditions, Sinus Infections, and Snow.

Good morning...or evening...which is it now? Oh, it's evening...right.

Well, it's been awhile I guess...I've been sick all week :/ Sinus Infection, Upper Respiratory Infection...fun, right? No. Last weekend was a blast however, despite the illness. I went to a sort of "dance party" thing with some of my best friends. We had a great time, and I cannot wait til' I'm eighteen and can go to clubs all the time. Fun stuff, yo. Also this week were auditions for this year's musical, Little Shop of Horrors. I did the dance audition on Monday, even though I felt like poo. I sat and watched the vocals on Tuesday, and planned to sing on Wednesday, but well, it's Wednesday, and I'm not singing about anything. :/ Instead, I stayed home all day sleeping, sinus-washing, nose-blowing, soup drinking, crying, and watching Schindler's List and The Social Network. Both great movies, by the way. I hope I'm well enough to go back tomorrow, no matter how much I'd rather stay OUT of the 7 degrees weather. My high school has an outdoor campus, sort of like a college, so walking to class with a wind chill below zero is not pleasant. When I was a kid, snow was fun, not anymore...now it's just slower driving, colder cars, being sick, and frozen hair in the morning. Boo.
Obviously when I'm sick, I'm not going to dress all cute and go take blog pics in the snow, so I took some with my web cam reppin' the Michael Jackson tee. Baha. Enjoy :)

Ready for a change.

I got my ACT results in and got a 26. I'  happy with it, but I know if I study, I can do better. I'm ready to start applying myself more. Musical is coming up, and I'd like to tackle the stress to come in a positive manner. I need to keep my priorities straight in order to prepare for college. I'm so ready for college, I graduate in 5 months, FIVE. And, they will be the slowest five months of my life, but I'm going to make the best of them. Recnently, I've seen a lot of people hitting the gym, and they've inspired me. I'm currently charging my iPod in order to go work out. I want to get in shape, get long hair, and raise my GPA and test scores. I would also like to go to college for free. Please and thank you. :) Now to go burn my fat ass off. :)

I would like to live here please.

Also, I need a day to myself very soon. A day where I turn off all electronics, and just spend time with me. I need to find out who I am and what the hell I think I'm doing. It'd be a great day.

Much Needed Uploading, Secret Mice, and 2011.

Oh hey there. So, my friends always see me with my nice camera, and they're like "Meredith, you never upload! Blah, Blah, BLAH!" Well, truthfully, I don't. The reason being that I don't have a card reader, so I have to use the desktop computer at my house to upload, and I'm like NEVER home, and when I am, I'm curled up in my bad on my laptop :) So, to my friends. I am currently uploading pictures to Facebook. I'm also putting some pictures I've taken over the last few months to this blog. So enjoy the trip down memory lane as we go into 2011. One of my New Years' Resolutions is to NOT let my camera's SD card reach its full capacity before uploading pictures...maybe just halfway...:)

I hope everyone had a great Christmas break. Mine consisted of sleeping and working. I worked open to close on Christmas day and I am patiently awaiting the rather large check that is headed my way. It will be nice to drive without the feeling of "I could run out of gas any second now..."

For Christmas I received a microwave and money for new clothes. It was a joy to spend on nice things just for me. Sometimes a girl just needs to shop, alone. For her.



The purpose of the microwave? College. Which could not get here faster. I graduate high school in five months. I remember being a kid in middle school and being referred to as 'The Class of 2011', and I always thought it sounded so far away... like space...have I mentioned just how much I hate space? A lot. It's freaky...a lot like the future. Not that I hate the future. I have a plan, I just hate not being confident that everything will be okay. I mean I know it will...but do I really know anything? No. So maybe, I'm not scared of the future, space, or ostriches...but more or less intimidated by their power. They all have the power to change everything. Except Ostriches....those are just...hmph.

Sometimes I wonder about faith. I wonder what I believe in. People around here have this elite "love for God" that sometimes I wish I could possess a love that strong for something...anything...but I can't. I can't love like I want to. I did love, I have loved, and I will love again, just not now. I just can't. I don't even know who I am. I really miss my mother. I know the very few people that actually read this have heard my "dead mom" jokes. And yes, I do play the card a lot. But most of the time it's to cover up how much it hurts. She really was a fantastic woman. She loved AC/DC, Lynard Skynard, ZZ-Top, and Bad Company. Dr. Dre was our thing. We used to always cruise around our tiny town with the windows down blaring Dr. Dre. And she would let me say the bad words. People didn't understand us, and in society it is often frowned upon to allow your nine year old daughter to know all of the words to Colt 45, but it's not society's business what my momma and I did in our spare time, now is it? She loved me, she gave me food, water shelter. We'd talk about boys, wrestling, and Oprah. She was my mom. And most of you take yours for granted. I don't have a family anymore. But, it has prepared me on how to make my own. I cannot wait to be a mother. It's my dream in life. Sure, I gotta go through all this school, college, job stuff just to survive long enough to afford a family, but it's worth it. I was forced to let go of my mother at an early age. I never knew my father, and my closest relatives were my second cousins by marriage. But, that's just fine and dandy, I'm happy and ready for my future. I know it will be a good one. And maybe I don't believe in much, or love...but I'm believed in...and loved unconditionally by her. Always, no matter what you think of God, she's here. Whether she's a figure of my very bright imagination, or a "guardian angel", she's mine. She got me where I am. She and my Nan, who dies three moths before her, and was the structure in my life. She taught me to care for others more than I care for myself. I'd give the world to thank these two fine women. Some of you should thank yours. Momma, Nan, I made it. I'm grown up and I see the big picture. I love you and I thank you for everything you ever did for me in the short nine years I had you. Even the spankings. Those sucked, but I needed them. I hope I'm doing a good job at this whole life thing. I like to think I am.

Now that I am done being all nostalgic, I had a marvelous Christmas break. I slept a lot and spent a lot of time with my Great Aunt (whom I refer to now as Grandma), we baked a lot of cookies, watched weird shows on The Food Network and The Science Channel til' 3 am every night, and talked about things we did together when I was a kid. Those are my favorite stories. I was a weird child. Not much has changed.

About my outfit here. Yes, I wore this skirt two days ago. I will also wear this skirt at school tomorrow. Boo school. Yay new skirt. I like it. no I did not wash it nor did I spill stuff on it or pee my pants, therefore I have no reason not to wear it again. Ha.

These were taken at the Philbrook Museum in Tulsa. I went there a few days ago with Callie, Thomas, Sofi, Sam(boy), and Kelsey. They are marvelous. It was marvelous. First time being there, and I loved it.

The new combats! No, they aren't Doc Martens, but they were 6 dollars. So I bought them and used the other 44 dollars to but other things, like my new red skirt. You may have seen me wear it, maybe not.

Callie was my photographer for the day. The pictures turned out wonderful. thank you my lady.

These are my new Bambi earrings. Aren't they precious? I love Disney Movies. They always make me cry, and I love crying. It's a thing I do often. But I am in no way depressed by that fact.

Skeleton Gloves

The lovely couple Sam Regan and Callie Burrows. They are twins. Vegan, Long hair, and oh so skinny. Perfect for one another. I adore them.

It's getting close to midnight, and school starts back up tomorrow. I better get to bed. I can't wait to see everyone at school tomorrow. I've missed friends and people. And of course Mrs. Nichols and her bright, shining, face. I'm sure she can't wait to see us :) Musical try-outs in one week! I need to pick a song! Comment your suggestions. I'm an Alto and the musical we are doing is Little Shop of Horrors. Goodnight Lovers and Haters.

I think ass is fine!

Eight Tracks and Bookstores. I'm so hip.

I'm currently sitting in a Starbucks inside of Barnes and Noble in Tulsa due to the fact that the apartment I will be staying at tonight has no WiFi. The pain I go through to spend a night with my best friend, Alexis Sixkiller.

That's her! She's been my bfflcopter since '07.

We had a fantastic evening on the town. We went to the mall and got some new stuff at Forever 21.

I got a new dress, some knee-high socks, a new necklace, a blue skirt and some much needed sunglasses! We then went to Marshall's to use Alexis' gift card. Shortly after we went to PetSmart and bought two goldfish. We named them Regina and Eugene. They will die soon. Sad Panda.






 

 

After going home to her apartment and eating quesadillas we came to Barnes and Noble to take blog pics and talk over coffee about how hipster we seem.

I'm drinking a tall Americano with cold soy. (Thanks to Callie Burrows for showing me to this delicious vegan drink! You can check out her Tumblr here.

Speaking of Tumblr! I got one myself! I decided to use an alter ego by the name of Agatha Pritchard. You can see my tumblr here.

These are my new combat boots! I also got my mustard coat, lace socks, and a new microwave! I had a great Christmas!

Everything's Bigger in Texas.

...except my boobs. Sad face.

Ohhhh, today. Today was fantastic. I took a roadtrip with my uncle and grandma to take her home to my old hometown in Vernon, Texas. It's so obscure you've never heard of it. Hipster to the max. My grandma has been at our house since mid November to visit. We took my car and the trip was so fun. Uncle Billy sure can be a fun guy. Here is a short list of the life lessons I learned today.

1. If FAFSA doesn't cover the majority of my tuition to SC, I have parental consent to make and sell crack cocaine, in fact, it is a suggestion, and my uncle knows people who would make great customers...a.k.a...grandma. 
2. In the event that I one day stop liking boys and convert to lesbianism, my uncle supports my decision, as long as he gets pictures, and any adopted children he will box up and send them back to wherever the hell they came from.
3. To avoid using turnpikes that were "built by the communists", we should always take Route 66. And SH-99, SH-62, SH-44, and every other highway to possibly get on to avoid the communists. Always.
4. My uncle is okay with underage drinking as long as it includes bad-ass cars, cool hair, Lynard Skynard, and strip poker, you know...cool stuff.
5.  When traveling on an old dark highway while low on gas always tell a zombie joke. Always. Zombies are scary motherf***ers, and are nothing to be messed with...except by my uncle, who is so awesome that he will "walk all over the zombies like Jesus walked on water."

I think he is a great parent, no joke. I say some things about this family that I don't always mean...sometimes in life we don't really realize we have something great until it's gone. I'll be moving in less than a year, far less. And far away. To my wonderful, loving family...Thank you. You guys may be stubborn, hard-headed Republicans, but you guys got some mad love for me, and the feelings there are mutual. Though you all probably don't know what mutual means. If it wasn't for this family I would not be where I am today, they have given me opportunities that I could have never dreamed, and they especially become apparent to me when I go to my hometown and see where all my old friends are in life. Right where I left them. I'm outta here, I has me some dreams an' I'ma go fetch'm.


Then:

Now.
