I hate blog post titles

Dear Laura, Rose, Mercy, and whoever happens to be reading this,

Laura, I completely know what you're talking about. I feel like I'm so busy with school and just life in general but I've started to pile on even more school this week. And yeah sure I'll go on a three day weekend retreat with my class from youth group on November 1st so I fall three days behind on NaNo before I've even started. That's cool. And of course I'll fill in that application so I can get a part time job while I study to get my drivers permit and the SAT (curse you 11th grade!!) and yet at the same time I do like the business because it keeps me from scrolling down my FB newsfeed for hours on end. And then it makes those 2 hour naps on the weekend and picking up a new book that much more amazing.

Rose, you posted almost exactly what I wanted to say to Mercy.
Curly-Q, I was feeling exactly what you posted about right before I went to the DR. I wasn't going to God with anything and I was getting seriously depressed with my life and upset with God. Fortunately I had an incredible missions trip (that I couldn't get out of) to go on that blew any negative thoughts right out of my mind.  You dearie, unfortunately don't have that. But like Rose said, don't compare your walk with God to anybody else. Everyone is having their own struggle with life and God even if you don't see it. And your faith alone is so much more than most people have. I still neglect God (usually when I need him most) at times and end up as a sad alpaca wandering around the house questioning my very existence. Yeah we all know that reading the Bible and praying are good things that do need to happen but as long as you're trusting in Jesus, you've got the first part down and you're farther than probably a lot of people you know. Also, being able to tell us (as well as the whole entire internet) what you're struggling with is huge. In D-group last year, we used to ask each other how they were doing physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and sometimes it was really hard to tell those couple girls in a very safe environment what was going on. I know you're going to conquer this battle and if you need to me to be, I can be that sister that Rose mentioned in her post.

So this week I was starting to feel all grossed out by fall. I really really like the first couple weeks when you can still wear short sleeves and you don't have to wear socks to bed. When the sun still shines and makes everything orange looking and when suddenly everything you taste is pumpkin. I like those days. But now this wannnabe November weather is making me feel disgusting and grey. So I decided to venture out of the house (ah! the horror of it!) and take some pictures and embrace the cold, grey but actually quite beautiful wannabe November weather. No, I'm not a  professional photographer (as you'll see from these pictures) but that's okay. I'm not trying to be.

getting ready for winter

Lydia's creepy face she gave me

and her cute face that the more you look at it, the more it creepily looks like me. Kinda

November sun

After I did that, I came in a drank a mug of tea and did my school and all in all it changed my whole view of the day. It was quite lovely.

Well, tonight is Halloween and Mercy and I are pairing up with our friend Joy to be Margo, Edith, and Agnes from Despicable me. Perhaps I shall put up pictures next week.
Malachi is part of Big Brothers Big Sisters (if you don't know what it is- Google it) and is bringing his "little brother" with us which should be fun and I can't wait to meet him.

Laura- I sincerely hope you feel better <3 we'll see you on Monday and I hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

 Ps- have a laugh ILS/PBA ftw

To my darling Curly-Q.

Hello all! (I don't like this either it sounds...homeshooled. Not to mention this post in particular isn't really directed at "all" it's mostly directed at my other half, my better half, my fiance, Mercy). WAIT I KNOW HOW TO START MY POSTS! IT'S HUMP DAYYY! FINALLY! IT WAS SO SIMPLE ALL THIS TIME! FINALLY! SGJBNHHGBLXKVMALKJER

Firstly, we need to get rid of that stupid rule about writing when depressed/angry or whatever because if we're not honest about our feelings then what are we? Well, if we're not honest about our feeling then we're me but, that's besides the point. I don't really have feelings anyway, I'm the youngest of 6 you learn how to cope with these things very quickly. My point is, after you read this post please go use your Hufflepluffian skills (of course, if you aren't a Hufflepuff then you can always ask one), find your list of rules, and DESTROY THAT STUPID RULE IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE IT IS HELPING NO ONE AT THE CURRENT TIME! YOU CAN WHITE IT OUT, YOU CAN CROSS IT OUT WITH A SHARPIE, DO WHATEVER YOU CAN TO GET RID OF ALL REMNANTS OF THAT RULE FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY!

So now on to far more important matters.

Mercybear, to be perfectly honest I know exactly how you feel. Reading that bible is really hard. So is praying. So is being a Christian period. I would love to say it's easy and nothing ever goes wrong but it's not true. I can't say I have all of the answers to your problems because I don't. Honestly, the reason it's taken me so long to post is because I feel like I should have all the answers to your problems and I don't. I feel like I should be able to fix all of your problems and I can't. I know one thing and that helps me a lot to remember that my  faith isn't about how often I read my bible, or how long my prayers are, it's about wither or not I truly believe Jesus Christ died on  the cross for my sins. And even then, I have doubts sometimes, I question God way more than I should,  I try to force God to fix all my problems, but in the end Jesus gave me grace and I can see that in my life. I'm not saying you shouldn't read your bible or pray, I'm just saying doing those things does not give you faith. I guess what I'm trying to say is, Mercy if you honestly believe in God then you already have a enough faith. One thing that I know I need to work on is trusting God. I need to allow him to direct my life. Another thing I should do is read more bible more. I should probably get a certain sister of mine to remind me to read my bible every day. I think the real reason this is a problem for me is that I feel like I should love everything I read and get everything I possibly can out of everything that's in the bible. I really can't  do this because the bible wasn't written just for me, it was written for everyone, so I might not get anything out of a certain passage but someone else might. One thing we should all do more is stop comparing our faith to everyone else's. Anyway, I hope this made sense. I don't consider myself to be good at giving advice so I hope this didn't make anything worse and I'm really sorry if it did.

What I consider myself to be good at (because I've had a lot of practice with) is making people laugh, because -not to be that white girl but- I honestly think laughter is the best medicine. So I hope I can make you laugh and feel happy or something.

Did you mean it smells like tears and pain?

THIS PICTURE LITERALLY MAKES NO SENSE AND I LOVE IT!

TOM HIDDLESTON AND JENSEN ACKLES COMBINED INTO ONE PERSON!

This isn't funny. It's just beautiful.

So is this.

I know this probably didn't fix anything, but I'm sure it  caused you to go into serious fangirl mode.

Anyway, I know you haven't been doing so well so I hope you feel better and my advice didn't make your situation any worse.

And Grace, I'm sorry you couldn't post last Thursday, blogger is stupid.

And Laura I don't really remember what your post was about. It had something to do with smelling the Roses. I don't understand how this is hard for you. We sleep in the same room, how is hard for you to smell me?

Well this may have failed....

Gracie, I hope you can post tomorrow, lest you get punished.

The battles never easy

Good morning girls, it's Tuesday.

 So I've decided that I hate posting after Laura, because after reading something that lovely-written and maybe slightly ramble-y but beautifully done so, how can anything I write compare? (It can't.)

 But I guess I'll have to put up with it.

So I know in the rule book it says we can't post if we're seriously depressed or moody.. but it also says that we can't post if we may become pregnant and I'm pretty sure all of us will become pregnant at some point in our lives, so there. Plus, this is something I really need to talk about, even if I'm being depressed. And I'm not even depressed- I'm just lost.

So I've not been.. the closest to God lately. I'm past the stage of denying it, of ignoring it or trying to act like everything it okay- because it's not.

Our youth group is doing a bible study called Experiencing God and you're supposed to read a little section every day and then we meet on Sundays to talk about it- because each chapter is a weeks worth of lessons.

Well, I started it. And I did like the first two weeks and then I got busy with school and I couldn't find (I am not a Hufflepuff) time to do it, but then that lead into 'oh I don't want to do it today..' and that lead into just... not doing it at all.

This is hard to talk about but.. I don't want to do it. It's not that I don't want to be near God or have a good relationship with him, because right now that's the thing I want the most. I want it so bad. But it's so hard. And that's what I need to get over- if I want a good relationship with God, if I want to be near him, hear him, to do his will.. I have to be willing to fight for it. No one ever said this would be easy, this whole God thing. It's not easy. But if we truly want it, we'll fight for it, right?

Right now, I'm losing that fight. I'm not giving an effort, I'm letting my temptations, my worries, my insecurities get to me, I'm letting them gnaw away at me, get under my skin, I'm letting them effect me- I'm letting them win. And it's killing me, slowly. At first I just say 'oh, it's normal, I can fight it.' but then the less I pray, the less I read the bible, the less I talk to God, they get worse, I feel worse about myself, I punish myself, blame myself for everything that goes wrong in my life and it's not something I can cope with for much longer. I'm afraid I'm just going to give up eventually. I'll stop trying- even less then I am now- and.. you know what happens after that. Nothing good.

So I guess I could use some prayer and stuff.

“Spirit. lead me where my trust is without borders, let me walk upon the waters wherever you will call me..”

xoxo, Mercy

(I just noticed I used a ton of parentheses in this post)

Good day, merry Lords and Ladies!
    I am in a Shakespeare mood today. I'm studying the plays for school, and I have watched two different film adaptions of Much Ado About Nothing in the past couple of weeks (the Kenneth Branagh version will always be my favorite, but the one directed by Joss Whedon [who also directed the Avengers] was great). So, I apologize in advance if this post is terribly old-Englishy and I periodically slip in a "thee" or a "thou."
    Anyhow. I loved all of your posts last week, although I was very disappointed that I was unable to punish Grace today. I was preparing a long rant about how overcute and perfect you are, but then you figured out how to publish your post so we let you off the hook just this once. Next time, though, you're going to get it, for I shall plagueth thee with a merry onslaught of words. *Laughs deviously* also Gracie, I do not have a plan for NaShoStoWriMo yet exactly. So far I have come up with the back stories, middle names, and astrological signs for every character in a very short story that I have written little of (I always do that- come up with every minuscule detail of the characters in a story before I write anything down). Rose- I love your haircut, and I love staring at it every day (girls, she looks even sassier now when she tosses her head than when she had the Rose Backus Signature Sassy Bun.Who knew that was possible?). We should make tea -or I should make tea, and you should make hot chocolate- some time soon, and settle on the couch under your feather comforter, and talk about the books we have been reading. I feel like I never have time for you lately, and when I do, you're napping. Story of our lives. And Mercy- that gif you posted that describes me has inspired me to wear pajama pants up to my neck and walk around like a bird-lady. Which only further proves how right you were to say that it described me.

don't judge I am who I is.

    My brain has been overrun, overcommitted, overtired lately. I keep telling myself I'll focus more on reading, writing, and relaxing after Halloween (Rachel and I are being fairies for Trunk or Treat!) but then I realize that Halloween is this Thursday, and Friday is November 1st, and I am nowhere near the point of allowing myself to relax. I'm overmotivated and my perfectionistic personality will not allow me to stop and smell the roses. I have school grades to keep up, and colleges to apply to, and I'm knitting a sweater and I have a couple of things due back to the library on Wednesday and Lord knows how I'm going to manage that without a driver's license. I have 39405 books I want to read and movies I'm itching to watch and no matter how much I workout my six-pack just isn't happening. I don't even know why I have friends anymore because I am awful at responding to texts and phone calls and Facebook messages (y'all should feel special that I have made time every Monday to post on OTAS). So, it is almost November and I have an A- in Personal Finance, two of four college apps submitted, a lame two-pack, one-tenth of a sweater sleeve knitted, and dozens of to-do lists and bucket lists left unchecked. So why do I keep overcommitting myself to everything? Go to a petting zoo with my youth pastor and his family and some girls from church? Sure! See Mitzi Gaynor at SHU with Rachel, even though I had never heard of her until yesterday? (Rachel says I'm a good friend) Absolutely! Take part in a Bible study with my small group? Of course!
    what have I gotten myself into?
    I just want to stop all the stress, yet at the same time I strangely love it. How is this possible, to want the motivation and rushing and go, go, go of life to stop, stop, stop, yet take every opportunity to commit to anything and everything and everyone? I didn't leave the house today. I took a shower and put on sweats and my favorite hoodie, and I read fifty pages in a book I have read twice in the past two weeks while sitting outside in the autumn twilight. And the solitude rejuvinated me. I know I am an extrovert. Personality tests and my own instincts have told me it was so. But sometimes -on weekday evenings, and long car rides, and time spent on the beach- I love the silence. I only love the silence then, because most of the time when I am quiet and/or alone, I think too much. I let anxiety turn the person I think I am into a horrible monster that I cannot possibly be. But what if I am, I ask myself, what if I am alone? What if no one really wants to spend time with me? Why else would I second-guess and hate every word that comes from my mouth? I'm rambling, I know. But my mind rambles.
    And now my brothers are telling me all about their trip to Cabela's and it is 7:44 and I have to finish this by eight so I can call a friend and my dad is turning on the TV and I strongly do not like men at the moment because the three closest to me are completely oblivious to the laptop I have been typing on for the past hour.
   

 But, perhaps by nine, all will be silent, and I can read. I'm rereading 'A Proper Romance' by Julianne Donaldson called Blackmoore. And it is insightful and fun and very PG-rated and Jane Austenish. And I am almost done, and I cannot wait to lose myself in the last thirty pages of Kate's temper and Henry's grey eyes and the haunting beauty of the moors and seashore of 1820's England. Which is why this post is rambly and anticlimatic and I beg your forgiveness for my scattered, self-focused thoughts which I have translated into this blog post. I am setting a horrible tone for all your upcoming posts this week. But I desire nothing less than to be alone with a book at the moment.

And so, I bid you all a very fond farewell. Mercy, I simply cannot wait to read your post tomorrow.
Regards,
Laura Beth

our messed up rules

I'm dreadfully sorry for how late this is. Blogger has been really dumb of late and hasn't let me post. I promise I did write this on Thursday though. And I haven't changed anything since then <3 AB (Asian Burrito) 

Dear Laura, Rose, Mercy and whoever else might be reading this, 

I don't know what I'm going to be posting about. But I don't want to be punished so I thought I'd just post something.



I guess I'll respond to y'alls posts first.


Laura- yay!!! I'm so happy you're doing NaNo or is it NaSho? whichever it is, I'm happy you're doing it! I know you're going to do great and we should definitely do a round story on here sometime in November. if we have time to do our blogging that is. I'm going to ask a total writer question and ask you if you have a word goal yet. Do you have a word goal yet?



Also, this was in the Sunday paper and when I saw it I immediately thought of you. I cut it out and was going to send it by real mail but decided it would get to you sooner this way.

Rose- I love your hair cut!! it is pretty hawt. is 'Between the Lines' a magic book? it looks like she is holding a magic wand on the cover. maybe I'll get it out of the library.


Mercy- I'm going to find a super awesome gif for you. I had a really good one all picked out. But it was what was freaking Blogger out. That. is how awesome it was.

So gurls, I'm listening to The Phantom of the Opera soundtrack and I want to cry! I love that movie so much.


Oh! So for the rules, it says that you can not post if you are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. Well... all of us are probably going to become pregnant at some point in our lives. So... technically we should change that rule.



So I've also been reading and I picked up a book off my mothers book shelf called A Walk With Jane Austen by Lori Smith. It's about her going to Britain and seeing a bunch of different places that have to do with Jane Austen and it's really good so far. I've alos been reading Sherlock Holmes and I can not get Benedict Cumberbatch and Martian Freeman out of my head. Perks of being a geek girl who watches BBC.



Well I have to go watch some episodes of TLBD before I make dinner finish school before I make dinner. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend <3 Grace

Hair cuts, princesses, books, frozen yogurt,and becoming men...?

Hey ladies! (I don't like this one either because it reminds me of those cannibalistic cereal  commercials).

It's HUMP DAY making it my day to post and I have a bunch of stuff I want to tell you girls before I reply to your posts, so here it goes.

#1. I got a hair cut today so I'll show y'all the  picture:

Don't I look hawt? (Note: this a a rhetorical question).

#2. So last night Laura decided to ditch nursing school and become a Disney princess at Disney world. I personally think it's a great idea, because I'm sure she gets a discount at Harry Potter World, so we could go "visit" Laura! Anyway, I've been saying random scenes from Disney movies, that she has to act out, all day. And I had a brilliant idea when I was "doing" math today: they should have a reality show about people  auditioning  to be Disney princesses at Disney World! LIKE HOW AWESOME WOULD THAT BE! IT COULD BE CALLED SO YOU THINK YOU'RE A PRINCESS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT! I think this is the best idea I have ever had. Except for getting this hair cut because it feels like feathers. 

#3. I'm reading this really great book called Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and you should read it because it's quite fantastic.  Except for the main guy lead, something about him annoys me, but it has a really cool plot and the main character is me and it scares me. The one problem is the author of the book is known for insane plot twists, like killing off the main character in like the last chapter of her books so I might just have an insane case of anxiety every time I open this book.  But you should read it. And you should read The Book Thief because it is one of my favorite books, I mean it's no Harry Potter (because really what is?) but I love it and it crushed my soul but I love it and it's about my favorite period of history -don't take that the wrong way because it's set in Nazi Germany- AND. YOU. NEED. TO. READ. IT.                                                      

                                    

 #4. I was at the grocery store today and my mother bought me banana peanut butter frozen yogurt and I've become addicted to it, my addiction is like that Miley Cyrus song: I can't stop, and I won't stop.                   

#5. Laura and I have decided we hate those girls so much we're becoming gay men so we don't have to deal with girls. Y'all can join us if you so please.                                                                                                       

Now I'm going to reply to your posts.

Gracie: I CANNOT BELIEVE I FORGOT TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE LIZZIE BENNETT DIARIES. I FEEL SO HORRIBLE. I AM SO  SO SO SORRY! Here's the best way to describe how sorry I am:

Laura: We totally  do the whole NaShoWriMo thingy. I have no more to say on this because I was so distracted by Jensen, and Misha, and Jared to really be able to focus on the rest of your post.            

Mercy: I loved your post! I have an obsessions with gifs too! Here's my current favorite gif: 

I know I posted about it yesterday on my blog and you saw it, but I woke up this morning and I thought it was Tuesday, therefore this gif is still relevant.  

This is all I have to say. 

Grace, I'm looking forward to your post tomorrow.

I'm addicted to GIF's.

Good morning girls, it's Tuesday.
You know, I hate headaches. I also hate the fact that I didn't remember that I had to post until like two hours ago. I hate school. I hate my hair. I hate everyone. I hate life.

But.. I'm going to try and have a good attitude. whatever. *rolls eyes in honor of Laura*
So... I have a really boring life and I have no idea what I'm posting about right now so I'm just gonna do what I do best and RAMBLE.

So, I have this class at school called Playwriting and Performance and I got to play a gay owl in class on Monday and I had to hit up on a porcupine. (Pretty much I was Bagzowl.)
It was so weird yet absolutely hilarious at the same time.
That's my school for you.
Now most peoples reactions would be:

But I know that you guys, now imagining that in your head will be like:

OH AND THIS GIVE ME A BRILLIANT IDEA!
GIF time!

Lets see..
To sum up each members of The Foursome.
Rose:

Grace:

(And then this one cuz it's got ^COOKIE BUTTER IN THE BACKGROUND LIKE WAIT WHAT^)


Laura:

 

Me:

(And it's Lizzie Bennet Dairies like waaaaaaaaaaaatttt!)

 

Then to kill all our little fangirl feels: 

I'm making myself sob so hard right now this is so not cool, why would you do this Mercy!? *slaps self*

and then of course:

BECAUSE EVERYONE LOVES TOMMY HIDDLES!
And now I know this was like the lamest excuse for a post especially after Laura's epic epicness post but I have two minutes left on my page and I DON'T WANNA BE PUNISHED so SORRY!
I love all your sexy faces
xoxo, Mercy

NaShoStoWriMo (no, that is not Japanese)

Hello!

Okay, Grace and Mercy, I know you don't watch Supernatural, but how can you not love this GIF? It gives me the warm fangirl fuzzies, weirdly, that three handsome guys (or rather, two handsome guys and one EXTREMELY handsome guy named Jared Padalecki, the one on the far right) can still be handsome while making those faces. There is hope for humanity, people.                                                                      

*calms the overload of feels* Moving on. I almost forgot I was supposed to post today. Actually, let me rephrase that: I almost forgot today was Monday. My schedule has been so crazy the past four weeks, with college visits and Columbus Day and et cetera, that I have not had a full week of school since mid-September. My brain was in Tuesday mode until about lunchtime today, and I am only now just getting back on track. Also, I just realized that it is almost November. What? Where has the time gone? In five weeks we celebrate Thanksgiving and start putting up Christmas decorations. But as of now, the fact that November is fast approaching has got me thinking of something else in particular: writing.                                         

Grace, I know you participate in NaNoWriMo. And I find that very impressive, because what sort of person is crazy enough to do that? Apparently our very own Asian Burrito. But me? I have tried and failed to write about twelve books in my lifetime, and why have I not been able to finish them? Call it writer's block. Or undiagnosed ADHD. Or perfectionism, or the fear that everyone else will think my work is rubbish. So, since over the past year I have somewhat overcome my concern as to what people think of me, I am going to embark on the adventure known as NaNoWriMo.                                                                               

 Well, not really. Instead of National Novel Writing Month, me and my short attention span are participating in National Short Story Writing Month. I coined NaShoStoWriMo myself, since I'm pretty sure I made the whole thing up. I say "pretty sure" because I have the world's most unoriginal brain- one time I was at Stop & Shop, and I said to my dad, "they should really keep the peanut butter and jelly and bread in the same aisle, because no one wants to run all over the supermarket just so they can make PB&J."                       The next aisle we walked down was the Sandwich Aisle, with peanut butter, jelly and bread all on the same shelf.                                                                                                                                                     

Thus proves my point. Or that I have no knowledge of the display setup at Stop & Shop. Either way, though I may be unoriginal, I like to write. And, with all we have been talking about creating lately, I have been hit with a fit of inspiration which can only be tamed when I organize my thoughts on paper. I have a lot of ideas for stories -most of them real life inspiration (hey, I might base a character or two off of you girls, just warning you in advance)- and I am so excited to get this started.                                                             

And I was thinking- remember how we talked about maybe doing a round story on the blog, where I start it on Monday and Mercy continues it on Tuesday and so on? Maybe we could all do that sometime in November. If you girls, or any of our fabulous followers, have any ideas for a short writing project for The Foursome, please please pleeeeease talk about it in your next post or write it in a comment! If you think this is a weird idea, then please let me know.                                                                                                     

 I am very excited to start writing and building characters and a plot, to stay up until the wee hours of a weekday morning working through the inevitably huge wall of writer's block. Maybe I'll post a story of mine on the blog, if I don't hate any of them (or myself, for that matter) when the month is through.                         Well, I must go. At least today I posted before eight PM. I made sure I did because BOOTH AND BRENNAN ARE GETTING MARRIED ON BONES TONIGHT ASDFGHJKL!! There go the feels. I shall close with the GIF Grace sent me on Pinterest- one that is both beautiful and descriptive of my feelings for you all:                                                                                                                                                      

                                                                   

--Laura :)

Grace follows suit and names her post in third person- Grace is obsessed

Hello Laura, Rose, Mercy, and whoever else is reading this

yes. You did read that correctly. I am obsessed. (for any of you who don't know, I am the last one of the Foursome to get obsessed) And no it's not about Harry Potter and no it doesn't directly involved Hank and/or John Green like most of our other posts. It only non-directly involves Hank.

See I was surfing the internet the other day. Just scrolling down my FB newsfeed when all of a sudden something caught my eye. A status about The Lizzy Bennet Diaries. What is this? My Jane Austen loving brain said. To Google! So I quickly googled it and then I found it on YouTube. And I watched it. And I watched some more. And some more. And since y'all are more obsessed with Hank Green than I am (he produces them) you are all probably shaking your heads in embarrassment that I have just clued into these awesome vlogs.

And for any of those people who are like me and are just hearing about and wondering what kind of sorcery this is, I will explain. It's basically a modern re-telling or Pride and Prejudice. Lizzy Bennet makes vlogs and tells about her life and it's very funny and only slightly inappropriate at times but we're all big girls so I'm sure you can handle it.

There is also The Lydia (I think that's what it's called) which is about Lydia (duh) and there gets to a part in the Lizzy Bennet Diaries where you watch them together. I just got to that part. It's only about 30 episodes in and I think there is 100 in total so as you can see, I have a ways to go.

And they just started making Emma Approved which is about Emma Woodhouse from the book Emma. I watched the first couple episodes of that and though it wasn't as good as TLBD it was still pretty great and I can't wait to watch more. Plus Mr. Knightly is really cute ;)

So that is all I have to say right now. Laura, I really enjoyed your post this week and I agree that you sounded a lot like Rose, but sometimes it's a good thing to rant about stuff.

Mercy, your post was pretty magical (pun intended)
Rose, like it says on FB- I liked your post :)

I hope you all have a (does hand gesture) fabulous weekend and Laura, we can't wait to hear from you on Monday <3 Grace

Rose is being...productive?

Hello all of you lovely ladies. (I don't like this opening either, it's sounds.....Bag-ish.) 

Yes it's true. I got up at 7:54 this morning (Actually it was 7:49 because my alarm clock is 5 minutes off) because Laura's INCREDIBLY annoying phone alarm woke me up. I never get up this early as y'all know. I don't know what's gotten into me. I worked out (Sorry Mercy, it's fun). I made waffles for breakfast. I did all my school and it's only 12:42. I'm dressed (Actually I'm in my Pajama's,I haven't worn real clothes since Friday. It feels liberating.) But my point is I've actually done what a normal homeschooler does every day. I PROBABLY HAVE A BRAIN TUMOR! OH MY GOSH! I'M GOING TO DIE! I LOVE YOU ALL AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THE BODY IS HIDDEN- No Just kidding. I have legit motives for being productive today. I'm going to watch Iron Man 3 today. I love that movie! Not to mention if I was going to die I'd mail you a map to the body and not reveal the location on the internet, lest the police find me. And since I finished school so early I can squeeze in a nap before Iron Man! TODAY IS A GOOD DAY! 

Not only have I been productive lately (Actually it's only today that I've been productive. But there are different kinds of infinity, right? Okay so that seemed logical in my head but now I see it's completely irrelevant.) I've come up with all different kinds of conspiracy theories! I've even invented a new....friend...stalker....person...thing to add to our list of slightly imaginary but completely real friends! Here's a picture of him (Note: I drew this yesterday when I was being unproductive!)

This was originally supposed to be a picture of Mokiki but obviously it went terribly wrong. 

Anyway, enough about me. I have decided to reply to all of your posts because I'm only nice when I'm tired. AND I'M REALLY TIRED SO NOT ONLY AM I GOING TO TALK ABOUT YOU GUYS I WENT THROUGH MY LIKES ON TUMBLR AND I HUFFLEPUFFED (FOUND) A TON OF PICTURE FOR Y'ALL! SO LET'S ALL GET ON THE HAPPY TRAIN TO SUPER FUN VILLE, DESTINATION AWESOMENESS! Oh gosh, I'm sorry. I really should have waited to post after my nap. My brain is a steaming hot bowl of mashed potatoes right now. Sorry.

I'm going to start this off talking about/to Gracie!

Grace, your post on Friday was fantastic! I'm so happy to hear you're doing better! I'm real proud of you! So to celebrate your wonderful achievement I'm going to post a bunch of hilarious pictures, which doesn't actually make any sense, but I don't care.

This picture isn't funny, it's terrifying. They switched Beyonce and Adele's faces AND IT FREAKS THE CRAP OUT OF ME BECAUSE IT LOOKS SO NATURAL!

Now on to my roommate.

Laura, I was very surprised when I read your last post. You sounded like me. Actually for like 30 seconds I thought you were me. Anyway, to calm you down I'm going to post some pictures of things you like.

I hope this makes you feel better Laura!

And finally,

MERCY! I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED THAT YOU'RE FAST IS OVER! NOW I CAN SPAM YOU WITH HARRY POTTER PICTURES! 

I've got to get me one of these. 

 

                           

This may be the best part of the whole 7th book.

Well, I really need a nap but before I do that, here's a picture for the 4th of us.

Grace, I'll see you tomorrow.
