New Me.

I've kind of been reinvented recently. September 24,2010 up until November 26,2010 marked a really important time in my life. It may sound cheesy and immature,but I met a pretty special guy. We're definitely super close and he's my best friend but that'small we are...now. At first I was kind of upset about the whole "Just friends" thing, but now I'm totally okay with it. He's still my best friend.
This isn't the topic of my post. The topic is about the "New Me".
Liek I said: I've kind of been reinvented,if you will. After I quickly got over the boy situation, I got my braces off, I finally figured out how to wave my hair and keep it wavy(although I'm sure it's only thanks to the dry winter air)and I've found some cute new clothes. It sounds pretty shallow I know, but I feel a lot beter about myself because I feel more comfortable and happy with the way I look. It's fun to kinda of have a self make-over once in a while,with the help of my Orthodontist, of course(Thanks Doctor Taylor!).Here is just a sneak peak of the "New Me."

Design Therapy

So recently I've been pretty stressed about school and...life. I tried to find a way to relieve that stress, and of course music helped but I needed something to do with my hands, so I pulled out my pencils and paper, and just started to draw. Design actually. I haven't done it for a while, since I was thirteen actually.
So I started designing dresses and when my friends saw them, they all started asking for me to design their "Wedding Dresses". It's really fun and surprisingly calming.

This is my first dress:


This is my friend, Cammie's dress:


This is Maddie's First dress

This is my "Red Carpet" Dress:


There's also my prom dress,that will actually be my Junior Prom dress, and an "Easter" dres,but I'll have to upload those later.

So there you are:)

New Start

I came to realize that I haven't updated in a long time. I guess I'm just so hooked to Facebook status, or Twitter updates that I seem to forget about this little web page that I have. I got really excited about figuring out how to add pictures.In the process I chose a picture that sadly turned out to be GIGANTIC and I cant seem to figure out how to fix it's size, so don't be alarmed when you see my head almost as big as the Chrysler Building (which my mom would laugh at). My blog also seems to be very...lop-sided, so that's also something to be fixed.But in any case, I'm enjoying finding different nifty little things to do with this handy blog.

My life update:
School is interesting,boring,fun,annoying,and at times exciting, but mostly difficult. I'm trying my best to keep my grades up but failing in my Advanced Chemistry and Algebra w/Trig classes. I guess two out of seven isn't that bad right? Wrong. I may not be in loads of trouble with my parents but I think that the stress that those classes bring to me are punishment enough. But I really do enjoy blowing things up in Chemistry...just kidding. We haven't blown anything up, just watched our teacher do it.On the upside, I'm really enjoying Madrigal choir and my Theatre Production class. We're working on our Christmas concert music in choir and our second class play called "Don't be Afraid of the Dark" in Theatre Production. I play the character of Gloria Parr, a lawyer. My friends say ta ht I'm destined for greatness...and a lot of money because in our first play, "Bamboozled!", I was Doctor Grazziano. Doctor and now Lawyer...hmmm? Is this a sign? I hope so! In my AP English class, my teacher really likes me. I really enjoy that class, except for the boring essays we have to write. We're also starting a school fundraiser for Heifer International. It's fun because I've gotten to help kick off this project and I'm enjoying seeing the school get excited about it.
Is there a guy in my life? Maybe... ;)
DRIVING! When I first got my permit in April, I would never drive, or if I did, I drove 15 miles under the speed limit :/ Yeah, I was pretty scared. But I seriously woke up one day in August and wanted to go drive and I was really good. I don't know what happened, but I woke up and had gotten over my fear of driving. Since I started driving so late after I got my permit, I haven't gotten my restricted licence yet. I was supposed to get it in September, but I still have about 20 driving hours that I have to get and it seems like it's taking FOREVER and a half.

Thanksgiing is tomorrow and my dad has been home since friday night and will be here all week. I don't remember the last time we had such a long time with him. We went and saw Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows last night and really enjoyed it. We're hoping to keep up with our Thanksgiving Family tradition and go see "Tangled" tomorrow.

I got a flu shot yesterday. I was pretty surprised that I didn't punch a hole in something first, although I did cry. It really didn't hurt at all, but I basically had a panic attack. I can't stand the sight of needles. It's pretty bad.
In another medical case: I get my braces off in three weeks! THREE WEEKS! I'm stoked. I can't wait to have my teeth back again, looking better than ever! December 15th is the day! It's going to be a great early Christmas present!

So, there's my latest blog I guess. I could write more, but I don't want anyone reaing this to fall asleep due to my boring stories. So there you are.

*Next Blog will hopefully be about my designs and there will be pictures(if I can figure out how to post those).

Have a fabulous Thanksgiving holiday!
