(๑*◡*๑) THE PAST OF 2014 (๑*◡*๑)

It's that time of year again. Where everyone says goodbye to 2014 and says hola to 2015. Where everyone reminisces on the past year, which is exactly what I will be doing. Here's a huge pile of pictures from 2014, it'll be a new tradition to my blog. Welcome to the past of 2014:

JANUARY(͡• ͜ʖ ͡•)

The start of 2014. And we start it with a selfy with space buns. It was the month where ideas were starting to run through my head for my blog, some reasonable..some not. My New Year's Resolution was to not give a shit about what people thought about me...and I reached that frickin' goal you guys.

The Spontaneous Movement began and I still to this day think it's a great idea. It will forever be in our hearts, everyday thinking of new ideas to improve our lives in ways we could not imagine. The three muskateers here will always be spontaneous.

Januarty 31. The day I turned 17. Just another year of being a cool ass teen. I've also realized this year that I LOOOVVVEEEE being a teenager and kind of want to stay a teen forever. I can do anything I want basically and experience everything I desire, but once I grow up...that will start fading away and it's very very very sad/scary.

FEBRUARY(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The month I began to love myself and not care what anyone thought about me, which was a HUUUUGGGEEE step for me. I had always "faked" not caring, thinking that would lead me to actually not caring and it actually worked!!! One day before art class I was walking towards the classroom and it all of a sudden hit me...that I DIDN'T CARE ANYMORE. And it was such a huge relief, I cannot explain to you how it felt, I was just so happy. That's when I formed GAL-entine's Day, Leslie Knope's idea. We had a little sleepover did some crafts and were just girlzzz. IT WAS FUN.

I also got to see Miley Cyrus this month and that was spontaneous!!!! It was sooooo fun, her concert was absolutely INSAAAANEEEE. I am so happy I went, even if my friends made fun of me for DAYSSS.

MARCH≧◠‿◠≦✌

All about friends. Looking back at these pictures has made me realize how precious friends are. Just in general. I am so so so happy to have these ones below and so many others in my life. I have made so many new friends this year and it's been so great. I talk to more people at school and that was something I never thought I would achieve. They're not people I just say hi and bye to, but the ones I love to talk to and hang around with. Good, good people.

APRIL≧◉◡◉≦

More friends and concerts and AP TESTS. I don't even remember being super stressed, but I know I was super stressed. (below) The original crew, since freshman year. The ones who will always be there.

DROWNERS CONCERT, where I got to meet them all and it was one of the greatest concerts I have ever been to. Not a great picture, but it's the only one that almost has the entire band, ahahahha, I WAS SO CLOSE I COULDN'T TAKE ONE. Best experience eveeerrrrr.

We also went to Universal Studios tons of times this year, which I enjoyed a lot each time because it was always family time. My family is awesome.

THE WANTED CONCERT. I CANNOT EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW AMAAAAZZZZING THIS CONCERT WAS. Because it was their last tour FOREVER, I absolutely had to go so my sister got me tickets. This concert was unforgettable because I knew every. single. lyric. EVERY ONE. And it was a band I wanted to see live so bad. Just a wonderful, wonderful concert.

MAY(✿◠‿◠) 

The end of junior year and the start of summaaaah!!!!! The picture below is when my family hated me, ahahahahahha.

The weekend after school ended, my family, friends, and I all went to the beach to celebrate the end. It was a grrrrrrand time.

The most important thing that happened this month was my best friend graduating. This one is my person (she'll understand the reference). No matter who leaves and who comes, I know Arleen will ALWAYS be there for me and that makes me excited about life because I will have her by my side. I don't know where I'll be going in 2015, but I do know this one will do amazing things and I will be right by her side, and vice versa. Thank you, Arleen, for EVERYTHING you have done for me.

JUNE(❛‿❛✿̶̥̥)

Growing up, but still acting like the 10 year old. My brother also graduated 8th grade this year and oh man, this kid is gonna do GREAT things in life, I can guarantee that. He may annoy me a lot, but this kid is the smartest, weirdest kid I know and I am so happy to have him as my brother. (selfy of the year)

Also, LUNA VAGINA WAS BORRRRRN!!!!!!! My baby :') She's been doing great and I cannot wait till I get my license and start doing awesome things with her.

VIDCON 2014. SO. MUCH. FUN. Even if we didn't have tickets. We basically saw everyone we wanted to see and hanging out with these 2 for 3 days was so funny and fun.

Plus, I had a sleepover and that's when Arleen went nuts.

JULY٩(˘◡˘)۶

(no pictures because I didnt do anything omfg, BUT HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY)

AUGUSTᕙ(^▿^-ᕙ)

BUSY BUSY MONTH. Probably the busiest of them all.

I went to yearbook camp, which was a lot of fun and I actually gained friends through it. It was also the weekend where I realized college might not be so bad...and my friend did something terrible because it was the last day at camp....

Right after the day I came back from camp, my sister, her friend, and I went to see Arctic Monkeys!!!!!! Another band I had wanted to see for SOOOO LOOONNNGGGG. They were amazing, no surprise there.

The day after the concert I went actual camping, but I didn't take any good pictures, but it was fun!!!!

This month was also the decision where I began to exclude any kind of poultry from my daily food intakes...and failed. BUT it was a good life lesson, I might try again once I move out.

I ALSO GOT MY PIERCING THIS MONTH WOW. I now where a hoop, which I think is cuter and am so happy my parents let me have this stinker. Oh and I started school, which who cares, right...even though it's senior year...ha ha ha.

SEPTEMBERᕙ(`▿´)ᕗ

A month of senior year passed and the best day ever occurred.

Poonior became a band geek at this point. He is so into his drums I think he would like to marry them...I'm glad he's taken this as a hobby instead of doing illegal things or something ahahhahaha.

BEST SONG EVER WE KNEW EVERY LINE NOW I CANT REMEMBER. ONE DIRECTION HAPPENED AND IT WAS THE BESSSSTTTT. NO OTHER WAY TO EXPRESS MY EMOTIONS EXCEPT TO TYPE THIS IN ALL CAPS.

OCTOBER\ (•◡•) /

Homecoming happened and it was fun I guess, just not my thing...BUT MY ATTIRE WAS SURE CUTE. 

The day finally came where I dressed up as Luna Lovegood for Halloween and it was awesome, no other costume of mine can compare.

NOVEMBER(¬‿¬)

This cutie below finally grew on me and still is annoying, but I love hanging out with her.

 AAANNNNDD I saw the wonderful Lewis Watson and cannot believe he was RIGHT THERE.

 Also the TEEEERROOORRRR OF The 1975 concert happened.

DECEMBER≧◠ᴥ◠≦

And here is December. The start of a new project and the only "rebel" thing I have ever done.

Yes, this is a preview of my new photoshoot that came out SOOOO cute, I just need to edit a few more pictures. These 2 are 2 best friends that I will always thank for letting me be me and sometimes even joining me on my weird ideas.

And yeah...I did a stick n poke with my friend...I know...IT WAS SOMETHING THAT HAD TO BE DONE. 2015 has to be the year where I get out of my comfort zone in different ways and perhaps it'll take a while, but i'm hoping, it will happen. This was just something dumb we decided to do because we never do anything extreme y'know. It's supposed to be 2 mountains = best friends, independence, and Twin Peaks (which I started last week, sosososooo great).

 And to end the 2014 blogpost here's another selfy, depicting how I look at the end of the year.

I don't really know how this year went, but from these pictures, it was a damn good year. I skipped the anxiety attacks and crying episodes. I skipped the loneliness I have felt in 2012-2013. I skipped caring about useless things. 2014 was quite awesome and I hope 2015 brings me more. Thank you to everyone who is in these pictures and those who have made me laugh at least once, you are a tru gem. Thank you all for reading my blog. You are all so wonderful and fantastic. I hope each of you had a great 2014 and wish the very very very very VERY best 2015 year for you all. C U IN 2K15 FOLKS. =^^=

HIIIIIIIII BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!!! I am finally on Christmas break and it's been awesome lately. I have learned a lot since posting my last blogpost so here it goes:

THE 1975 CONCERT: As I have previously expressed how terrible that concert was, I have come to realize...ENJOY CONCERTS DAMN IT. Being in the front, isn't everything. Yes, it would totally frickin cool if your favorite artist is looking into your eyes or holding your hands, BUT if it's a concert filled with vicious teenagers, I suggest chilling in the back is the best choice. Ugh, concerts are so frickin awesome, just listening to some favorite songs with people who are there for the same reason: to enjoy THE MUSIC. You may even make cool ass friends while waiting in line or waiting for the concert to begin and maybe they'll become your best friends in the future!!!!! Don't just think about getting in the front and beating everyone, because at the end..it's all about THE MUSIC.

HeForShe - EMMA WATSON: Yes, I completely am aware of how late I am on this. See, the thing with me is, I don't block out all the news that I see, I totally understand what's going on (most of the time), but choose not to talk about it. It's difficult to express your opinion without having someone pounce on you, critiquing every word. Everyone has different opinions, but not everyone KNOWS that so, I usually just stay out of it, but tonight I feel like I should let you and my future self know what I have learned.
If you live in a rock and don't what this is about..Emma Watson went to a United Nations conference and made a speech about feminism. So many YAAAAYYYSSS and so many EEEEHHHHHHSSSS. Obviously, this is amazing publicity for this movement, BUT the things she addressed, not so amazing. Of course, she did say some awesome stuff, I mean I am iN LOVE with Emma Watson, she's pretty cool, but I read this article and really helped me breakdown some points in her speech. A LOT of people forget to include women of color and transgender women and so many different kinds of people when they're talking about feminism and that's what Watson forgot. She did mention people from all around the world, but didn't include transgenders and those who don't really identify themselves as man or woman. It's SO important to include every kind of person when trying to develop a movement.
Another point this article made was how Watson made it seem like men had to be INVITED to start joining this movement. It's not like we've tried informing men FOR YEARS about this, right????? She made it seem like we didn't want them to be in this and that's why men didn't want to believe in feminism, that we made it unwelcoming, not cool man. Men have to take an initiative and take it upon themselves to educate themselves about this. Oh yeah, now they're going to join because EMMA WATSON, HERMIONE GRANGER invited them. It just all doesn't make sense to me. I may have slid over this, didn't address everything and made it vague, but you get gist. This article is pretty awesome, but if you see any flaws, please, please, please let me know.

DECEMBER: Christmas is just around the corner and I'M FREAKING OUT. I need to get presents, but I don't even know if I have enough money for everyone and they're all so important. WHYYY must this happen to me!?!?! I got $95 from working at the election polls last month and it's all going to the presents..sadness, but happiness at the same time. I LOOOVEEE thinking of great gifts to buy people, even when it's stressful sometimes, so it's exciting, but MEHHHHH.

NEW PROJECT: I am going to be doing a photoshoot pretty soon with my friends and the theme I chose was: SELFYS. See, I find selfys so pleasing. A person who uses one as an icon on one of their social media platforms or actually posts one IS SOOOOOO BRAVE!!! They feel so confident of themselves and feel SO PRETTY that they are happy enough to share this feeling with the rest of the world. How amazing is that?!?!?! It's going to be light and pink and fairy dust, very girly, but very inspiring I'm hoping. Hopefully it'll come soon, but I'm going to practice editing and maybe making a video, so it'll take time, BUT IM VVVERYYY EXCITED!!

Well, that's pretty much all the things I have on my brain so far, so here are some recent pictures and BYE CUTIES!!! =^^=

 The most annoying and cutest chick evaaaa <3333

 One of my inspirations for my new project: MEEEE hahahahaha

I made candles and crayon lipsticks last weekend, HOW COOL?!?!!?!?

The two best people in my life, mom and me...JUST KIDDING HAHAHA of course my mom and sister.

Our gingerbread houses we made from our end of the semester and christmas party my friend and i had!!!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here's a bit of an update: currently on my THANKSGIVING BREAAAK!!!! Yup, a whole week dedicated to...well...MEEE (as in I get to do whatever I want). Like I have said TONZZZ of times senior year has been pretty rough, especially because of college apps, but being a lucky one over here, I have been able to go to two concerts over this terrible time. Concerts are just a little relief, a getaway from all the stress so it's pretty cool.

The first concert I went to was at a small venue for a small singer-songwriter. I have typed up a blogpost about him and I finally got to see him in concert and yes, it was EXACTLY how I pictured him. It has become one of my favorite concerts ever. And YES OF COURSE I MET HIM. I had to wait like till 1 AM to do so, but he was so very kind it was such a great experience and am glad I got to share it with my concert buddy, Julissa.

The next concert I went to was, well, a VERY different experience. There was vicious teenage girls wearing all black and felt as if it was their duty to be security. I basically got yelled at...by another teenager. And it gave me anxiety...BUT good thing my awesome strong friend, Mia, was there to tell people to shut up. It was quite horrifying, really. ANYWAYS, didn't even say the band name, it was for the 1975 and if you know who they are, then you would understand why this would happen. After that terrible hour of being yelled at, we got inside and it was completely fine...UNTIL IT ALMOST BEGAN. The crowd was absolutely terrible!!! It was the most I have been pushed EVER at a concert. I was basically second row so we stayed at our spot for 2 songs and had to leave. General admission concerts for mainstream bands ARE NOT FUN, never again. Although that happened, I did get some great picture of the almost shirtless lead singer while I was up there!!!

I also got to see one of my favorite people ever that I met through twitter because of oNE DIRECTION!!!! It really is great to meet people through the internet (sometimes); we've known each other for 5 years!!! FIVE!!!! And we met through twitter!!!! TWITTER!!! Because of One Direction!!!!! ONE DIRECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANd those were the two concerts I went to. Pretty fun and pretty great music with pretty awesome people. Speaking of awesome people, my momma also bought me AMY POEHLER'S NEW BOOK "YES, PLEASE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amy Poehler is li-ter-ally (Parks and Rec reference) my favorite person ever. She is so awesome, I'm in love with her. This book is my life.

I also wanted to show a bit of my sister's and mine's *~*~~*~*AESTHETIC~*~*~*~ I find that word so intriguing and funny. I'm using it for everything, ahahahahhaha. I am getting into the Christmas spirit with my big ass Santa mug, sipping his brains. So that's a bit of an update on how my life is going, sorry if you don't really care, it's totally cool, I will be complaining and ranting on another post soon!!!! Hope you all have a great holiday week =^^=

(๑′°︿°๑)?

Life is weird guys. You look back at old essays you wrote or old post its you jotted down and think how far you have come. I am a senior now. Almost done with my first semester and then I'm off to college? I have to turn in college applications this month and by next year, this month, I will be at a college campus. I was thinking about buying One Direction and Taylor Swift concert tickets, but was reminded that I may not be here for those dates. I may not live with my parents and brother anymore. I may live in some dorm with some stranger living with other strangers. I may study law. I may study communications. I may become a writer for all I know. Life changes so quickly it's insane how often it does. Looking into the future gives me MAAAAJOR anxiety, but it's such an important aspect in my life right now because my future is being created throughout this month. Whether I go to a UC or not. Whether I move out or not. Whether I see One Direction in L.A. or not. Life is weird.

I have been distant, but only because (maybe I have mentioned this before) I don't have much to type about anymore. Y'know this blog started out as a way to remember what I have done in the past, and then shifted into a way to express myself and let out all my anger and anxiety and things that have been holding me back, but....I don't have that anymore. I don't have as many mental breakdowns as I used to have. I don't cry about myself anymore. I don't think AS MUCH anymore to the point where it makes me cry my heart out. It's great to realize this, but it's sad as well because I love reading back at old posts and reading what I have done or thought about. I have so many drafts, but never seem to finish them. Well, here are a few random pictures of me at Homecoming, my Halloween costume (gUESS WHO I WAS), and me in the future. Hope you guys are swell =^^=
