Life & Stress

It's been an entire week since the last time I published anything from this blog.
Before you say it, I know, I know. I am ashamed of myself as well.

Today was (STRESSFUL) to say the least. And I don't mean stressful in the sense that there was a lot of pressure or anything on me. Stressful for an ENTJ is something that only another ENTJ can understand.

For an ENTJ, stressful reaches a whole new level. It's like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, something pissed in your cereal AND you can't do anything right. Yeah, it's that bad.

School just didn't agree with me today. I couldn't do things right, I couldn't figure out simple equations and I couldn't win arguments. (Some of you are probably thinking whatt???) But honestly, losing an argument is one of the worst things that can happen to me. Not to mention that I felt legitimately dumb with some of the questions I asked. No student should ever feel dumb while asking questions, but I did. Perhaps it's just me...

Needless to say, here I am, in a semi-good mood. I won [I guess you could say that, although it wasn't really winning, per-say] an argument. I feel alright now.

I just hope that tomorrow will be better. I don't want to stress myself out too much, after all, summer is almost here.


Summer
Is
Almost
Here

Man, those words feel so good to type. Summer. Summer. Summer

Beautiful.


[I'm not crazy, but today has been a stressful day. Don't blame me.]

Oh, and I got my mark back for a story I wrote for English. 100%!!!!
Solid.

Life & 22 (Now 23)

Most of you probably figured out what this post is going to be about simply by looking at the title - but for those of you who didn't; this post is going to be about my blog.

So far, since I've started my blog I've written 22 posts. (This being my 23rd)
And I love this blog. I love being able to write about whatever I want here, no judgement whatsoever, and just write. Some of the big named YouTube stars pretty much do exactly what I do, except they do it on video. Unfortunately, I don't possess the talent or nerve to throw a video up on YouTube for the world to see, so here I am!

22 seems like a measly number. I don't know why, but I was hoping that the number would be more along the lines of 100. I know that that is incredibly unrealistic, but that's what I was hoping. Nevertheless, 22 is a landmark. I have written 22 different posts about my life and published them online for the world to read. This post makes that number even bigger.

A little off topic here, but I don't know if any of you guys have ever heard the app, Whisper? If you haven't, I would suggest getting it.

This is what it looks like. I know this may be kind of random, but this app has helped me a lot. Basically it just allows you to post whatever you want anonymously and see other people's anonymous posts as well. I love the idea and I'm addicted to the app. I would recommend it to anyone. And no, I'm not just being paid to say that. I actually like this app.

Life & How I Met Your Mother

Now I know that a lot of you readers probably don't know me very well, but I must tell you a couple things about me before I talk about the title.
First, I am not an avid TV watcher. I am faithful to 2 shows right now and I will occasionally watch a few others. (Those 2 shows being: The Big Bang Theory & How I Met Your Mother)
Now I just finished watched the season finale of season 8 for How I Met Your Mother (And yes, I have seen EVERY SINGLE EPISODE of this show. I am devoted)
And since there is no one I can talk to about, I just wanted to post here that I am so excited to see where the producers take season 9!
I would recommend this show to anyone who enjoys comedy and is over the age of 14.

Anyways, I was sick today so I pretty much just stayed home and slept most of the day. I have some friends coming over in a bit and we're supposed to be going on a walk. I haven't been outside all day so that might be good for me...

Coconut Oil On Hair Review

Now I know that I don't normally write about product reviews and all that jazz, but starting today I'm going to be making a few exceptions to that rule. 

So yesterday I read this post on Pinterest that said to rub coconut oil in your hair and keep it in for 20-30 minutes. I had seen this post before but had never really given it much thought. But yesterday night I decided to try it, as it claimed that it was going to make my hair feel softer and grow faster.

I was a little skeptical at first, which is why I decided to try this on a weekend, so that just in case it made my hair greasy or anything like that that I would have time to wash it all out and get my hair back to normal. I rubbed coconut oil in my hair and kept it in for about 25 minutes. Then I hopped into the shower and used Keratin Repair Shampoo & Conditioner. (I shampooed twice just to make sure I got all the oil out!)

Anyway, today when I woke up my hair felt amazing. It is so soft and beautiful right now and I'm so glad that I decided to try it. The post said to do it 3-4 times a week for the first week or two, and then start doing it 2-3 times a month.

Needless to say, I am so excited to keep doing this! My hair is about medium length right now, hitting just a couple of inches below my shoulders. 

The coconut oil worked wonders! 

Life & Blogging

I was watching a show about five minutes ago and one of the characters started talking about blogging. I realized in that moment that I hadn't blogged in days so I ran to my computer and went on to this site.

I've actually been getting some page views lately! Thank you to each and every viewer, even if I haven't even had a single comment, I still have the urge to keep writing.

I got a 95 on my English essay, in case any of you were wondering. I'm still waiting to get my short story mark, so I'll let you know when I get that one back.

It's Friday and I don't even have school today! Awesome!

So I'm sitting here on my computer at 11:08 and hoping that I can keep coming up with ideas of what to write. Normally I just wing it, just like I'm doing now.

I went to the mall yesterday with my friends and watched Iron Man 3. It was a fantastic movie, we watched it in 3D and it was very well done. I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of superheroes. Plus we got a little sneak peak into The Avengers 2!

Life & Writing

I just realized today that even though this is a writing blog, I have never done a "Life and writing" post. I know that I covered some of the reasons why I started this blog in my introduction, but I haven't really gone into depth as to why I write.

Ever since I was younger, I have loved to write. Every English teacher I have ever had has told me that I am a good writer, I remember the first time that a teacher told me that I had writing talent was in 5th grade. My grade 6, 7, 8 and 10 teachers all said the same thing. (I had the same English teacher for grades 8 & 9 as well as 10 & 11)

Anyways, the positive encouragement that every teacher gave me really helped my writing confidence. I began to write more, just for fun, outside of school. Some of my friends think that that's weird, but I couldn't care less. To me, writing is like an escape. When I really get engrossed in an idea, I just can't stop writing. Of course, I am still learning new things all of the time about writing, but lately I have felt really confident about where I am at.

When I was younger, I considered going into a writing career, for a magazine or a publishing company, but of course, I wouldn't make that much money in those professions. Perhaps I will do it on the side.

My first novel ever was called "The Adventures of Dodger and Sasha" (Give me a break, I was 12!) The story was about a dog and a cat that run away from home and travel the world together. Of course, it wasn't the length of an average novel, and I don't think it's something that will ever be published, but it's definitely a mark in my past. Finishing that novel gave me the confidence to keep writing.

I've grown up a lot since those days, and now I write about more than dogs and cats. I love writing horror, suspense and romance. I always like to write about topics that I am passionate about, such as homosexual rights, marijuana legalization, etc.

I will never stop writing. While some people listen to music, watch movies, etc, I write to find peace. Don't get me wrong, those things are good too, but I find my place in writing.

Life & Ex-Boyfriends

Now, I know that I've already done a post on "Life & Boys" but this one is different. This one focuses specifically on ex-boyfriends.

After my ex and I broke up last year, I made a list of things that I didn't like about him/our relationship. Sounds harsh, I know, but that's how I dealt with my pain at the time. I tried to remember the bad things about my relationship, and focus on those, because I knew that if I remembered our relationship how it actually was, I would have came crawling back within a week. 

Now, I know what you're thinking. 'Wow... just another girl who is still in love with the idea of her ex-boyfriend.' And yes, I'll admit that he was a great guy, and our relationship was cute. But I'm not just sewn up on the idea of him, I'm sewn up on him.

This may sound like a change from everything that you've heard about going back to your ex's, but I think that I'm going to try it. I want him back, there's no denying that. We didn't break up for any specific reason, we just thought at the time that things weren't really going anywhere. I don't know why, but we ended it a little too soon.

Anyways, that's all I've been thinking about for the past week, and believe me, I've had my share of crying over it. I miss him like hell. But we've actually been talking the past couple of days, which has made me a lot happier. I want to see him again, and talk things through, and see where things go from there. 

Life & Time Management

I just realized that I haven't written in this blog since Sunday. Sorry guys, I thought that writing here was a daily habit by now, but I guess not. I guess the real reason that I haven't written in a while is just because I've been busy with a lot of stuff. Between homework, sports and guys, it gets a little difficult to find time to blog sometimes.

I think that blogging here helps me to relieve stress, so I enjoy doing it, but sometimes I just forget. Right now, I'm in the middle of writing that short story for English that I mentioned earlier, and I just remembered that I haven't blogged for a couple days, which brings me here.

There have been a couple things are new in my life. First, two of my best friends are dating (have been for a while), and they keep getting crap from everyone. I've been trying to help them sort it out with some of my other friends, and today, it was finally starting to look up.

The other new thing is that I've been talking to my ex-boyfriend lately. I don't want to reveal too much right now, because I don't want to get my hopes up by writing down everything that I've been thinking lately, but there's a possibility that we might actually be able to be friends. But more on that later.

I guess I really don't have a whole lot to talk about today. Whenever I blog, I always feel like I have a lot to talk about, but then I get here and actually start writing and then I realize that I actually don't have a lot to write about.

I'm close to getting a new job. The manager talked to me yesterday and said she'd call me back. She hasn't yet, but I've got my fingers crossed.
