tidbits of information

so that new design thing? kinda freakin me out...i don't really understand it. especially since i type

like

this.


it wouldn't work for me i think...

anyway...little tidbits of information about myself

• i like getting packages in the mail :) or mail for that matter! thanks mom and dad for sending me noms! and fun stuff too!!
• don't touch mah shit por favor.
• don't talk during my shows i like. like srsly. we were watching glee today in my room and literally every 5 seconds people kept asking questions. now i understand thats not their fault, they don't know the show, they don't watch it. but it was just frustrating for me, as anyone can imagine. so next week I'm hoping to find someone else's room, helpfully new friends, to watch with. 
• I'm usually awesome at eating burritos, cause ya know, thats a talent....not. but today i made a huge mess...like i had to go downstairs and check out a vacuum. #embarrassing. 
• to stay awake in class, i must take notes. lame.
• the most singing i've done as a vocal music education is not in my vocal lesson or class, no its in my aural class. awesome.
• i love new friends. like seriously. i do. like ryan, and skye, and steve, and angel, and eric, and h :)
• apparently i (and possibly some of the people i hang out with) come off as, not intimidating, but kinda douche. i totally can see that cause we all know each other and were just our loud obnoxious selves. but i've learned that just because people seem like a-holes doesn't mean they actually are. so guys i thought were ass wipes i'm giving a second chance. and girls i thought are stand-offish and bitchy I'm going to be nice to. cause everyone is not always as they appear originally.
• as much as a people person as i am, i really hate being around people sometimes. like a lot.
• i feel sympathy for you becca, but srsly. laura and i do NOT need to hear you try and patch up your relationship with daniel whilst doing homework... like srsly

this is me doing homework. enjoy.

attractive, i know.

random thoughts

random thoughts at 3:45 in the morning....

3 rules to live by in college.

ask questions.

make mistakes.

and get messy.




rules to live by in college. or at least, thats what my theory professor said. which is so true. thank you Ms. Frizzle from the Magic School Bus for enlightening us with such powerful words.

BAKER LOVE

college life summary thus far.

• changing your shoes from toms, flip flops, to boots, is almost always inevitable when dealing with shit loads of rain.
• showering situations are sometimes stressful when there is only 2 showers for about 16 girls........
• luckily, showering situations can sometimes be avoided. ways around showering as often...
• when its raining bring shampoo with you and go to town,
• don't give a fuck what people think and only shower once a week, or...
• get a perm and not have to shower every day :) [i choose this one]
• find friends who enjoy the same shows as you. i.e. the roast of charlie sheen. its is fun to watch with friends, but its also fun to watch with your roommates.
• DISCLAIMER:your roommates actually have to be awesome ones and WANT to watch good ol charlie get made fun of
• FIGURE OUT THE WIFI. but don't let too many people know you know what your doing. you don't want to be the I.T. guy...sorry steven!
• attended as much as you can, but only if you want to. peoplee will love you no matter what. 
• embrace where you are and who your with. BAKER LOVE!!
• if you don't see your best friend from high school, don't be alarmed. (or at least try not to be...)
• even if you weren't the best of friends with someone in high school, give them a chance! they might turn out to be someone you can hang out with all the time hur in college!
• your shits bout to get messed up. LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT. my friend told me he is STILL moving stuff around, cause he can't decide where he likes stuff...hes been in college for a month.
• don't be afraid to ask for help. be it another first year, your roommate, a friend, your RA or an upperclassmen who you just happen to have their number so you can call/text them with any questions you might have ever. (this upperclassmen situation works most ideally if they have the same major as you)
• put up pictures. they strike up conversations and remind you of how great old friends are. 
• GO BUCKS!

suffice to say, college is going great :)

lots of my friends call me vron...so check this out.

too lazy to type

my wrist is starting to hurt again, probably from playing guitar hero with aaron...and from just not giving a shit...

tonight was the last night i'd be seeing adam for months. i miss him already :(



these are all topics that could be described in great detail, but i don't feel like getting all deep and stuff at 2 in the morning....

borders

why yes! i have changed the layout of my blog! thank you for noticing :)

borders is closing, as all of the world knows. i went there today just to see what there was to see...and i ended up getting 6 books...for $13. thats sad. walking into borders was depressing.

What I Like About You is such an awesome show!

i hope you find what your looking for...

one thing

this song hits me. i know it has a deep meaning, and for me, it could mean a lot of different things, i just haven't yet found it out. but regardless, its a fantastic song!!

One Thing Lyrics

Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line
It’s nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line

[Chorus:]
If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn’t that be something

I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time

Even though I know
I don’t want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds

[Chorus x2]

Even though I know
I don’t want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds

Even though I know
I don’t want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds

Gussy Sews

so a few weeks ago i had my graduation party.

i got a lot of money,but also a LOT of cool gifts!!!

one particular gift has really stood out to me. it was a set of bags by these two girls/lady/women from my church. they're both married, but i've either known them or their families for ever so, lets just say they're family friends. anyway, they got me these totally awesome bags!!! thanks Natalie and Katie!

this awesome tote!!

this super cute clutch thingy....

and also a smaller little bag. 

they are so adorable! in each bag there is a card with the info of the lady who makes all this awesome stuff. but one of my cards not only had information, it also had a 10% off coupon! so of course, i HADD to use it! (it would expire on the 15th of this month) so i bought this...

YAY!!! 

here is the website

go there! check her stuff out! i'm sure there is something you would like :) and if not, its just cute anyway!!!

p.s. no real word on my wrist. so far I'm just "dealing with it" and i will be soon learning "how to live with the pain" as you can see...not much progress. but its only saturday. the week is still young till i leave for college....

confusion

so i believe there was some confusion. i actually went to the doctor today, or yesterday...on wednesday.

....

there really isn't anything to say yet cause idk what I'm doing yet....

plus I'm in no mood whatsoever to discuss the day i've had.

but heres the gist of it...

i wake up. do nothing. do the dishes. do nothing. eat. do nothing. play tiny tower. do nothing. get the mail. do nothing. occasionally shower? do my makeup. do nothing. text aaron. go to his house. play super mario bros 3 for hours. looks up youtube videos. go home. go on laptop. sleep. then repeat.

so at home, i srsly do nothing. always. i mean, yeah i'll go out with my mom to do stuff, like get glasses or whatever, but thats not till 2. and up until then....i can't be motivated to do ANYTHINGG. i'm probably the biggest buzz kill you'd ever meet honestly. i don't like whats going on right now, and the scary part is....im somewhat not looking forward to college. now don't get me wrong, OSU is definitely  the school for me, and i want to be a choir teacher, but id rather all of this just go on hold until its all sorted out...............

so much for me not discussing everything...

ill tell you the full report tomorrow, or, sometime soon.

in the meantime, until I'm ready to discus this issue, ill put up funny youtube videos.

they are adorable!!!

this one is just a wee bit funnier in my opinion :)

here we go.

heights. monsters under my bed. loud noises. airplanes. the dark. snakes. tight spaces. germs.  the number 13. 

things I'm not afraid of.

things i am afraid of?

clowns. spiders. having a needle inside me. ferris wheels. and tomorrow.

tomorrow at 10:30 i will be going to my doctors appointment for my wrist. i'll finally find out what the hackers were gonna do about this pesky little cyst. knowing for about a week what this is has been a blessing and a curse i suppose. I'm happy i know what it is now, because i had the chance to look up exactly what it is. i know how far this may take me. but i've been worrying for days and days it feels like, to find out what exactly the plan will be. 

i'm glad the MRI showed something, its surely better than not knowing what's wrong. but initially, after looking it up, i became emotional. this has been a huge struggle i've dealt with, especially this summer. it has also caused a lot of stress. i get more angry with my family than i should, i zone out more, i basically for the past month, haven't given a shit. i feel like i just haven't been, here. not emotionally, anyway. sometimes ill just fall apart just thinking about what if my wrist never gets better...what if i can't do what i want with my life? 

tomorrow, hopefully, ill have all my answers. 

hopefully i'll actually get some sleep tonight as well.....

i need to end on a positive note...

1. my laptop is fully charged. that practically never happens!

2. i've been having tons of fun with Aaron playing Super Mario Bros. 3 on the Wii! I'm becoming not too terrible at it...which rocks!

3. i tried a Redbull yesterday, and it wasn't terrible!

4. work is finally over. thank goodness.

5. i get to babysit again on thursday. babysitting is such a rewarding experience, especially if the kids are genuinely happy to see you.

6. my birthday is coming up :) I'm hoping to have a little bonfire saturday....i should really make a event on the old FB...

7. school starts soon!!! ack!!

8. totally rocking the Tiny Tower.

9. my sister made me tons of really cute daisy pens that i get to keep!

10. benji's back in town :) 

11.god i fucking hate that kid ;)

Uma the cat

so i babysit these two kids, Jude and Cole. they are absolutely adorable. they live out in lakewood, but its not too far, next to a railroad track. they have this cat. her name is Uma. but she's not just any kind of cat, she's a "Sphynx" cat. so i did some "research" (typing in hairless cat into google) and got this.


 "The Sphynx is the most unusual breed because it is a 'hairless' cat. Their naked skin is wrinkled, especially around their head and neck. Striking characteristics include the large paws with highly developed pads and the impressive large ear."


all true so far. it is quiet odd. and when you pet it the skin gets even more wrinkled and looks hilarious. lets continue.

"Sphynx cats are quiet and affectionate. However, it doesn't like to be cuddled. Because of their extreme affectionate nature, these cats need a lot of human attention. Outgoing, they usually get along fairly well with other cats and dogs." (http://www.kittykitty.com/cat-breeds/sphynx.html)

 Now i don't know if Uma is just abnormal or what, but she LOVES to cuddle, as represented in these pictures...

i texted benji some pictures of her. he just kept calling her gross. i said just because it looks funny doesn't mean that its not nice!

thunder and lightning and storms...oh my!!

i keep forgetting its not BEDA...yet i continue to keep posting.....

although i will be 18 in 10 days, i still am afraid of thunderstorms. lame. i know. tonight there was a CRAZY one, like seriously! lightning like every 1.2 seconds!! so i literally waited in my room with my lights on playing games on my iPod till i thought the thunder and lightning had passed. for the most part it has, on account of the fact that the most i hear thunder now is about every 29 seconds, and its quiet faint. but i hear voices coming from outside......its probs the new neighbors. ya know, the ones that have lived there like 3 or 4 months yet i have yet to see any of their faces...yeah those ones....

FINALLY today my wrist is feeling better, by like a lot. i can bend it a lot, i can move around, its refreshing! except i think i can feel the bump where the cyst is. i might just be paranoid, but idk. and i have a doctors appointment on wednesday. i know this sounds crazy, but i'd love it to be fully swollen, total amount of pain every so this doctor doesn't think I'm crazy.....

i have pictures from when i babysat. not of the children, but of their kitty cat. you'll love it :) or...well...think its an alien. until next time!

section three line six fifth sentence.

nothing really exciting happened today, i woke up ubber late, had rice, went to babysit, practically got attacked by a cat, had to wipe the kids butt after he pooped (he's 4...so its somewhat reasonable), and went to the football game. 


oh wait. umm kinda witnessed the most exciting thing EVERR :) today my friend and i ( won't name names....zazu ;) ) well anyway, i was talking to her, and she was talking about homecoming plans. she's been really into this guy for MONTHS now and I'm super excited cause he asked her to the dance :D AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH she'll probably post about it soon, or else she BETTA. it was so magical. i feel like it should have been recorded and made into a movie, it was amazinggg :) 


i know its not my story to tell but I'm just so happy for you zazu!!!!!






anyway we got a call from the doctor yesterday. we had to schedule an appointment. of course when my mom called the doctors office was closed. so she left a message. finally they called back today. my mom set up the appointment time and was kidding asking if she could tell me what was wrong with me or what the MRI showed. but the nurse on the phone said that she actually could tell me what it said, it being my personal record and all. turns out i have his little thing called a synovial cyst. never heard of it? samsies. so i did some research.


this is pretty much what every website says....


notice section 3. now look at the 5th sentence in that paragraph....here it is...


"With a cyst causing functional or aesthetic discomfort (ummm both please...), and when the cyst has been present for over 4 months (umm try 4 years or so), surgery may be recommended. 






......

frack on a stick.


why meeeeee.....

impromptu post/2 a.m. blues

so this whole "wrist problem" hasn't really hit me....until tonight.

a few weeks ago i was told to start playing piano a little more to strengthen my wrist. so they said like 15-20 minutes. i did that at first, but then i realized how much i missed just playing, so i moved it up to about 30 minutes or so, just scales and arpeggios and non-stressful things. but i didn't think it was that big deal. plus, having picked up the cello, i would play that a little more every day as well. but last week i was told to stop playing piano cause we have to get the swelling to go down. it hasn't gone down since, in fact, the pain has worsen. i can't drive that well with my left hand, i can't do anything, and as i found out tonight, i can't even play a simple chord well with my left hand.....

so when aaron and i were driving tonight, and "Secrets" by OneRepublic came on, and i heard the cello playing, i almost fell apart. that song was pretty much the reason why i wanted to start playing cello. i love how the intro sounds, i love the fluidity of it, i just think it sounds beautiful. and i figured out the fingering on the strings for it, i just have to get good at bowing it, and i was trying to figure out how to do it so i could show benji what i could do (my teacher).

knowing that i can't even play a simple line on the piano, nor can i still try and learn how to play an instrument I'm truly passionate about, really hurts....figuratively and literally. honestly, it just sucks major ass. and, of course, until my doctors appointment which could be next week, or the week after.....we won't know. they physical therapists said that i should stop going in cause they obviously weren't helping and we need to just calm it down. well youuuuu're the ones that fucked it up in the first place. thanks Orthopedic Associates. you're cool.

i wasn't gonna post cause now i kinda have 2 in one day, and its not even BEDA anymore. but i just had to get this out there.

perm-alicious

i got my perm redone! my very first perm was when i was a sophomore. i believe i got it in november or so. ever since then i've been getting one once a year. since i usually get it during the middle of the school year, people always notice. after they always ask why my hair is so much curlier. when i say i get a perm, its kinda of a lot to explain. so i figured, before going to college, i would just get my perm to save myself from all the questions. it smells really, really bad. but my hair is super curly! yay! getting my hair permed is perfect, for me anyway. it means that once i shower, if i wanna be law and not put any product in it, i don't have to, cause it'll look presentable anyway. it rocks. well anyway heres some pictures of the process :)

waiting for the chemicals...

it smells delicious. as you can tell by the expression on my face :)

soon ill put up a picture of how my hair looks normal.
