love triangle no more

Wow, when you want someone to like you and they do, score. Then another distant figure approaches and confesses that he likes you too. But you don't like the distance that you've had. You choose the boy that's near for warmth and comfort.

#Humboldt

take a risk everyday

that moment when
he's the warmest blanket you've had,
smells of familiar cologne,
tells you, "I don't work out," confidently,
makes you feel comfortable around him,
notices minor details,
goofs around and laughs at himself,
wears two layers underneath his pants.

The last month of the year.

currently random things that I am interested in areeee:

hudson taylor (folk band)
diy crafts- painted mugs
curled hair
knitted scarves
roadkill ghost choir
kodaline
white peppermint ice cream (seasonal..such a downer)
knitting
the hot neighbor next door...ha ha, if only. our Christmas tree, Wilbur
sleeping

The Holidays!

These months have been tough, but when I can enjoy it with some great experiences it makes up for it- little by little.

Don't slip!

Tonight was the bees' knees. I was able to teach my friend how to ice skate and she even enjoyed it towards the end. Some Dutch Bros hot chocolate afterwards, mmmm.

yay for me! the cute Spaniard boy is my friend. and he had the nerve to ask me to homecoming after a couple days of knowing eachother. woop, woop!

olllllllo

For those who are not aware, Jeeps are not created equally! Wranglers cannot be compared to a Cherokee or a Liberty, so don't do it..  Offroading in the YJ with  muddy dunes was the best.

TEMPE, ARIZONA

Long boarding and a cute boy to hold my hand.

Dream big!

Fan girls and cool boys

Don't you love it when you have cute friends? Okay, scratch that. That shouldn't even be a question. These boys are the best. Not only are they musically talented, they're the funniest teenage boys. They remind me of Spongebob and Patrick with all their quirkiness! An everlasting friendship. :)

"The big hole in the ground" -my dad

My #1 destination to visit! Never pass up the opportunity to go and see the Grand Canyon! Anyways, I'm infatuated with the beauty, I know, so cliché.... My dad is excited to come back soon because he fell in love! Now "the big hole in the ground" is so much more to him. Hiking down Grand View trail is on our to do list, yeah! 

Feeding Time!

The Wildlife World Zoo and Aquarium was fantastic, even in the 98 degree heat. Okay, maybe the heat was making us drowsy and cranky, but the rides increased our spirits.

These birds made me laugh endlessly with their spontaneous personality. The colorful little birds would not hesitate to land on our palms and eat food, yet they would all quickly deny us from petting them. It was cute getting to watch them eat.

Juarez, Mexico

Funnnn in the Mexican sun. The walls are old and painted bright, flamboyant colors which make for wonderful pictures! Love it!!

Thunder, lightning ain't so frightening .

*drooling*

I learned how to drive stick in this '92 Jeep Wrangler and I couldn't be happier. Jeeps are amazing.

OH YEAH

writing with light at four in the morning. not so fun when the slow shutter app is lame....but hey, hollaaaa at my pretty heart!

San Elizario Mission

This church is old, like the sixteen hundreds old! It was beautiful and mass was wonderful.

*Fossil Creek*

Musical masterminds.

«take me to the candy shop»

My bestfriend Kylie in her natural habitat. She's a sugar feign. It's one of the greatest things about her because she is the sweetest, just like the candy that she's always eating. She can eat candy for breakfast, lunch and dinner without stressing about it.

Hashtag obsessed.

"4: ...love is clumsy and my heart refuses to wear a helmet.
5: Cupid is fucking irresponsible. And I'm tired of him using me for target practice.
9 I have this envelope, its full of all the butterflies that I felt the first time she relaxed the Velcro on her lips and smiled in my direction...I think most of them are still alive...."

Epic.

Oblivi-wut?

It was my friend Amanda's birthday today. We celebrated by going to watch an rated-R movie because that's one of few privileges you get once 17! Anyways, Oblivion was the only interesting one out in theatres...and let me tell ya, you HAD to pay attention. Especially to the little details or else it was a puzzle you could not put together. We had the theatre to ourselves for a while, what an awesome feeling!

Let the adventure begin!

I've been to Ikea only once way back when and even now I can't remember actually being in the store.. so going today was overwhelming! Did they always serve food, have you follow the arrows and have actual Swedish food available to buy once leaving? Well, now that I have visited, I cannot wait to go back. My favorite part: the kitchen supplies. I was freaking out with all the inexpensive supplies one could buy. A 4 set container for sugars, salt, pepper,  whatever you wanted in them, only $3.99? Emily's on Cloud 9! The pots and the pans and the ladles and the very colorful sets of silverware. It was too wonderful. Ikea, you betcha ill be back!

Say hi to

Terminal knowledge! The cutest rapper there is. He is a part of The Palmer Squares from Chicago. Look them up because they are downright amazing with their crazy, hyped up lyrics.

Hell yeah!

Me ¦¦¦¦¦ You

That time of the year.

Three years down, one to go!

YEP

I once took off my watch

...and had all the time in the world.

  (the next excerpt is brilliant.)

Being in "like'

It's like when our eyes meet, time literally stops.

Well, for me at least. I don't know about you or anyone else in the universe. It must not for everyone else, because I suddenly trip over myself and stop breathing for a moment.

My friends say I'm clumsy, I say I'm just easily distracted. But in all honestly I'm just distracted by you.

I once witnessed a kidnapping.....

but I just told the kid to wake up. (Lol)

Shout out to Dalton, one of the Connecticut boys who told us that joke! Kylie and I enjoyed it more than we should have.

:::This week though:::

It's been this bizzare mix of events, emotions, and even "enigmas." I got kissed on the cheek by the boy that I'm crushing on, score! I have fun at my job, it's great. And summer is right around the corner!

Like, "Hey ohhh, FINALLY."

If you could have the voice of....

any artist, who would it be?

My favorite singing voice in this entire world is most definitely Gabrielle Aplin. I just...I can't even describe how amazing it would be. It would be brilliant. Her album is coming out soon and I'm ecstatic! (Shout out to my home girl Kylie who told me about her, I've become obsessed). If I had to choose a male voice it'd be Gianni Luminati...gosh, he's such a babe.

Selfie.

Oh the humanity. Do you see the water stains on that photo? Grrrrr. This was developed way back when my sister and I first started our photo class. When we got our first film handed to us we automatically planned a "photo shoot" and this was one of the portraits. Amy took this and I guess she didn't care too much about the stains being there..It's okay, ill develop new one tomorrow. That's what I love about photo. I can make a print whenever I'd like as long as I have paper. I'll miss photo so much. It kills me that I won't be taking the class next year...what a bummer.

Gerber Baby, no?

Can you just take a moment to admire the eyes on this baby?

Okay, I am obsessed with the contrast on this cute picture! Making prints of all my negatives makes me the happiest person, especially when they are this wonderful (egotistical moment, ftw).

"Three Oddest Words"

Author: Wislawa Szymborska

When I pronounce the word Future,
the first syllable already belongs to the past.
When I pronounce the word Silence,
I destroy it.
When I pronounce the word Nothing,
I make something no non-being can hold.

I don't eveeen know.

Not every day is going to be smooth sailin'. As strange as today has been, I've enjoyed the experience of being lost in a moment of unknown clarity. I know, what a cliché. I just cannot stop thinking about a friend of mine who has made realize that I need to break out of old habits, to not feel embarrassed in public, to take risks, to enjoy the awkward moments just because awkward can be a great feeling, to scream at the top of your lungs in the cafeteria if you really just don't care, to be silly and unique. I could go on and on and on...... I've just got a feeling of being lost, but it isn't terrible like in the beginning. It's almost like an accomplishment.

Nomm nommm nom

I love sushi. Then again, who doesn't? Had a wonderful lunch date with my friends and they chose the best restaurant to go to- Sushi Ave. Cliché food picture, ehh?

Oh bothaaa....

Seriously though....

Don't blink, you might miss it.

What a weekend. It was a blur. My uncle was laid to rest eternally on Saturday afternoon. The tragic loss at such a young age made me realize that above everything else, "live as if you'll die tomorrow." Let family and friends know how much you care for them and don't revist the past. It's already happened. Appreciate the insignificant details! Smile and be happy.

R.I.P Uncle Tommy.

Twinning

Imagine this: the feeling of getting your first job on the spot. Now imagine the feeling of your twin sister getting the same job as you! (If you are a twin short imagine a bestfriend, sibling, favorite person, ect.)  We are sister but also bestfriends, we live together but hang out all the time, we are always with one another, like a unit. And now we work together? Some might think, "Ohh no way, it's TOO much!" However, its quite the opposite! We could not stop smiling...can you tell who is who? 50% chance.

50 Shades of Green

But for reals, look at that landscape! I miss Timberon, a tiny town of few cotton heads, located in the Sacramento mountains. I'm counting the weeks until we get to be there.

The Twin Life

Grrr... We always match when we don't try. It's quite interesting. We will be out the door looking identical. We usually freak out because it wasnt intended- just another twinning moment to add to the list.

Divertido!

How many words is this picture worth?
