Do you like to decorate your room with pictures and other decor?
Oh most definitely.My walls consist of Harry Potter Posters, collages I've made,pictures, and paintings.Re-arranging and decorating my room is one of my most enjoyed hobbies, ever sine I was little:)
What was the most shocking moment of your life?
Probably when my little brother was first diagnosed with autism (He was about 1 1/2 years old, I was 8-ish) He just stopped talking (out of the blue) and when my parents told me he was autistic, I thought it was just something we could get some medicine for; to make him get better. The shock came the 1-6 years later when I realized he wouldn't be cured, as their is no cure for autism yet. He has been slowly recovering and my family and I are so blessed that he is talking now.:)

Now, bloggity time.

It is nearing the end of the quarter here and it is crazy. I have a not so good grade in Geometry. I don't see math in my future career as a photographer. Alphabet + Math = ?????!!?!?!?! I'm trying to bring it up, but I just don't understand. I will study tomorrow in p.e.(we get study halls on Fridays!:D) 

The end of the quarter means tests and quizzes and projects and late work are due.Ugh.... I believe many of you can feel my pain.

Also, if I am not responding to your comments as consistently, it's because my mom believes I'm addicted to the Internet (phfff, as if...*sarcasm*) and has destroyed our Internet modem. I can get on at school, but only  a few times a week...

There is a light.I am involved in my school's art club. We are making stuff out of clay, which I stink at but it's still fun.:) I took many pictures today..... 

Do you see the heart?:)

Those wheels are so mesmerizing...

Accidental vector :D

:)

A friend made this cereal bowl and explained to me that this means that even if you think your done, you still have places to go.:)

Pet Photography Challenge

Hello.:)


I have started following a fellow blogger/photographer named Maggie. I was reading her blog and I saw that she does these photography challenges, see. This week; the challenge is pets. Now, I don't have a pet of my own, but my friend (Blue Seal) does have a stray cat hanging around her house all the time.;) I spent about a third of my summer there, so I eventually got some shots of this pretty stray kitty.

I am totally open to feedback and constructive criticism  Speaking of feedback, umm...THANK YOU!I got so many comments on my last post. You guys are awesome! It make me so happy hearing what your thoughts are on my pictures.:) Also, I know many of you are into photography as well, so I wanted to give you a heads-up if you want to enter also. Please let me know if you do, I'd love to see your photos! :)


Thanks again, and have an amazing week.:)

Fall(ish?) Pictures

Good evening, morning or afternoon.:)

I promised a picture post, here it is!:)This week I took pictures while on my bike rides. I tried to focus on the coming fall, but I took pics of anything that intrigued me.I tend to do that a lot...

Gorgeous leaves, look at the purple, green, and red hues....

they make me happy.:D

I was riding along and I noticed that grass was growing out of the sewer pot hole thingy....

The small things you may normally ignore pose thoughtful questions.

I thought this person's yard deserved a picture feature;) 

In Journalism, we went to some of the art classes to practice with the Canon Rebels. This was one of my favorite ones.

Another one from Journalism...

This was on the way home from Art Club.I like how the arrow on the road is pointing to the sun, as a vector.

I found some dandelions today....

Please feel free to tell me what you think, what I did well, what I didn't, and how I can improve.I crave your opinion. :)Thanks for reading! Tell me if you like these picture posts and want more.

Un-blurry pictures and beautiful fall surrounding you,

Nachos, Bond, Leroy Jenkins, and Vespas

Hello.:)


I have very much to talk about.


First off, Nachos hate me. Let me explain... I was eating lunch on Wednesday and I was eating, as you can guess, nachos. I was trying to dip a chip that was severely lacking cheese into a cheese covered one. But the chip broke. every. single. time.


It was a frustrating experience.But it didn't end. I had nachos the next day for lunch. It happened again.and again, and again... I got very angry and in my anger asked my friends, "what if my love life turns out to be like these nachos, never finding the man I will love and to spend my life with, and just breaking the hearts of guys, over and again, and again...." 


One of my best friends said "That won't happen". He doesn't have a nickname on my blog yet so I will call him Bond. Bond is currently in a relationship with another one of my best friends. I saw those pictures from Homecoming that I mentioned in my last blog. Those pictures felt kinda like I was intruding and being the awkward, random, short girl in the middle of the picture, in-between two happy couples. 


The point I'm getting at is, I feel lonely. I've never had a boyfriend and I never felt like I needed one. I still feel that way. I just think it'd be nice sometimes..
I'm not going to go boy-hunting or anything, but I just hate being the ackwardish one. 


Anyway, enough about boys, most of them are jerks.Cept' my boy-friends; like            Bond, guys from my youth group and camp, and my camp friend who wants to be referred to as "that awesome guy" on here.:D Speaking of "that awesome guy" I have two words to say; LEROY JENKINS!!!!:D


Literally 15 minutes  before I started typing up this blog, David Henrie tweeted this:"lerrrrroooooyyyyyy jenkins!!!!!" That is all. : ) 


In dream news, I had a dream Tuesday about someone toasting bread for sandwiches with a curling iron.That is all I remember.. How do you interpret that, haha. I am stumped on this one....


It is the second of October and I am very excited. I'm looking forward to Halloween. I plan on dressing up as Kiki Strike, one of my favorite book characters of all time:

  I will do my best to look like her. It won't be hard, seeing as I'm already short and blond, hahaha. I think I will stand out where other girls my age will be wearing costumes way too grown-up and revealing. And I will be awesome, in my skin covering, all-black ensemble, minus the Vespa, I have a budget.:D


I also look foreword to capturing the beautiful changes in weather, leaves, clothing in stores, and seeing the Christmas season approaching all too fast.


Thanks for reading friends, I love hearing your thoughts in the comments. I can't believe I  have 15 followers, I never thought this many people would read this; thank you from the bottom of my heart. (:
Expect even more upcoming posts involving camp and J.K. Rowling, I have a research essay to put off.;)
-Rebecca:)


p.s. Bond isn't referred to as Bond because he breaks girls' hearts; he is the most kind, chivalrous, guy in the world. That's why he's one of my bbff(best boy-friend forever) :) He introduced me to the young Bond series, which is one of my favorite book series of all time.Kbye now...

Homecoming :)

Hello friends:)


Sorry it has been a awhile since a non-rushed blog post. I have about an hour before I head off to church and I have loads to tell you.


The main thing: homecoming. If you are not familiar with homecoming, it is a tradition in American high schools to have a football game and a school dance after. Last year, I went to the dance and not the game, by myself. I saw a few of my friends at the dance, but they either had dates or weren't true friends at all. I really hated it.


I am not a dance person, I am horrid at it. So I didn't dance last year. I was also close to tears because I saw the guy I liked with his ex. Not fun...


But this year, I am a different person. I didn't need a date. The guy I liked last year, not important anymore. I am happy with my best friends. So I just spent the whole night with them.I danced with them 75% of the night. I danced stupidly and they didn't tell me "Stop, your so embarrassing me!!!". We all had so much fun.


When it came to slow songs, I felt a little lonely and wishing I had a date.Some songs I'd dance with my invisible date named Ben Barnes. My friends though we looked so cute together.:D Other songs I'd dance with my fellow dateless friends.


In the middle of the dance, they played songs we didn't like.We escaped to get pictures taken. I was with my two friends who both had dates so I was just going to watch them get their pictures taken.But they wanted me in the picture.I can't wait to see them:D


After the dance was over, the music ended and our ears felt like they were stuffed with cotton balls! It felt like that until ten minutes later.My feet turned blue in my comfy heels.I know, comfy and heels don't belong in the same sentence.:)


I must head off to church now. Do you have homecomings or dances where you are? I am so glad I went.:)


Hugs,Rebecca

I'm going to be late for class unless I post this right NOW!

Hello:)
I am in my school's library.I was just reading the latest National Geographic, when I realized I haven't made a blog in a while.


I am surprised that my school allows  this beautiful website on here, my school does block Facebook & YouTube:(


I went to my friends' usual meet up place and left my backpack there with a note that reads:
"Library-Biblioteca... love, Rebecca" I don't think they got the message, it's been at least 15 minutes.


I finally got a dress for homecoming! The first one I got I didn't like but my mom found me a purple and black one, WITH POCKETS. I refuse to carry a purse around, I loathe purses, eww...


Yesterday was so fun!It was my moms birthday and after church we got a pizza for mi madre.Then when we got home, there was my aunt & uncle's car! We walked in and they were at the kitchen table, saying there was no need for us to go get a pizza,seeing as they had brought some with them to celebrate. We talked,ate cake, and kept my brother out of trouble.


Then I went to church later that afternoon to count money donated to the Heifer project.I counted $150 in quarters, go me!:D Then we sang and ate food, praised Jesus, talked in small group and had permission to run around hitting each other with noodles.It was a fun first night of my youth program.:)


Must run to class,
Rebecca:)

9/11 Remembrance, Homecoming, and Possible Dream Blog?

Good morning my awesome followers!:)

Well it isn't really a good morning, 9/11 9 year anniversary.:(

I remember I was in first grade when it happened. We were just having class when my teacher turned on the news.I saw the planes crashing into the buildings and got really scared and started to cry. School was let out early and my mom came and picked me up.I was so afraid that planes were going to come and knock down my school or house.It was such a terrifying and haunting experience for me and all Americans.

We were angry, mourning, and just plain scared. That's why we are in this mess of a war, I think. Now, I am no political person, but I think we should be hunting down the terrorists who caused so many people so much loss 9 years ago. I honestly have no idea what our troops are supposed to be doing in the Middle East anymore. Tis' all so confusing and if I read too much about it, I start to feel sick to my stomach. What's your experience/memories of 9/11? Even if you weren't in the U.S. at the time, it must have affected you in some way. Rest in peace, all who were in the buildings and who were brave hearts, serving the U.S.:(

Anyways, I'm going to do an awkward transition from a tragedy to my life where I'm so blessed to not have been directly involved in the World Trade Center's crashing down. I just needed to write about that first...

So, I enjoyed my short week of school very much. The dates are released for Homecoming, the theme is awesome, and I'm going with a group of my friends. A few of them have dates and I am so excited for them!I don't have a date but I'm totally cool with that, no seriously!I'm just excited for them and I'm excited to go dress shopping tomorrow with them! (:

 Now, my family is quite low on cash right now, I'm not going to lie to you. But I am taking some money out of my own bank account. I literally don't have a dress to wear to Homecoming, unless I want to; 1)look like a girl on a jungle safari, 2) look over dressed in a prom dress that swallows me up, or 3) under-dressed in a blue summery  sundress. We plan on going to the mall and I'm looking foreword to Forever 21. I've been looking on their website and they have some adorable, cheap dresses. On the models they look extremely short, but I'm a short girl and they are 6-foot tall supermodels, so they will be longer on me.:)

In other news, one of my best friends turned 16 this week. She went to take her driving test yesterday and I hope she passed!I'm pretty sure she will, she is a good driver. Then she will be able to take me to school and I won't have to endure my dad's negative news radio stations.:) Also Blue Seal's 15th birthday is coming up! I know what I'm getting as her present.:D I'm helping her make invites and such....

I've had some odd dreams this week... one of them was me painting my friends' nails before Homecoming. Should I post my dreams on this blog or make a separate blog for them?They can be pretty intricate.... what do you think?

No homework this weekend, my rooms clean; I call for more online dress shopping, YouTubeing, exercising,  and painting of my fingernails.:)Thanks so much for reading, have a fun and safe weekend everyone!
