It's the mighty Thorsday!
So I've decided that I get to post on Thursdays, every week I'm going to do a #tbt and it's going to be great. And we can remember when we were young and weird. well... younger and weirder. So this weeks #tbt is...
*drum roll*
That time we went to Lyman Orchards and we went in those woods that had the river running through. I think we were playing that we were water fairies. But we had our cool ways of getting through the mud and gunk of the stream and it was fun. That might have also been the time we played that game about the Indians that died with Mother Willow.... yeah.
I really like these pictures of us. Even though they were those awkward middle school years that we don't talk about, I still like them. Sure, our hair was all a mess, our clothes fit us weird and we had those weird smiles, but they're cute in there own special way. The first one, we were writing something, (my guess is it wasn't a musical about a noodle selling ice skater, or a guide to a zoo that holds creepers. our brains weren't quite that messed up at that point.) In the last one, we're running (skipping) but like always, Mercy and Rose seem to be a bit behind. Even then, they didn't like to move fast. And in the middle one... the epitome of awkward middle school years. Maybe I'll take it out. But oh my gosh, both Rose and Mercy are smaller than Laura and I. Weird. I had quite forgotten that there was a time that my younger sister didn't tower over me and make jokes about how small I am. And I think Laura might be taller than all of us. We were cute. and awkward. cuteward?
Anway, back to 2014.
Laura, you post was short and lovely and is exactly what I've been feeling lately. "What keeps us going are those moments which catch us by surprise, little wonders amid the ordinary. Sometimes it's a hug from a friend when you're down, or a leap of faith which turns out to be the best decision you've ever made. Or, it's something even smaller, even less significant-seeming: steam rising off a cup of hot coffee or joy on the face of a little child." Yus. all the way.
Mercy,
This just came up on my Spotify as soon as I wrote your name. It was fate. and now you must listen to it. Because it is beautiful.... or as beautiful as a song that stupid can be. He literally makes every song about 100x better. But enough about Sam.
I enjoyed reading about how you discovered yourself on Zimbio. It was amusing. And I'm going to miss you dearie while you're in RI. And I won't even be able to text you the 2 days your gone about every creepy or amusing or Grace thought that crosses my mind. What will I do? Where will all those thoughts go? What will happen to my poor mind? It'll probably explode. and the thoughts will splatter everywhere and everyone will be covered and they will look at me and I'll probably start inappropriately laughing. Maybe, I'll just write them down and show you the list when you get home and then it'll be weird 'cause they won't make sense to you 2 days after I thought them.
Rose, I highly agree. The only book I've read that was recently written which I know will go down in history as a classic, is The Book Thief because HOLY COW IT'S SO FANTASTIC. AND I'M SO CLOSE TO BEING DONE AND I DON'T WANT TO FINISH BUT I REALLY JUST WANT TO WATCH THE MOVIE! that is all.
Okay girls. I have something to tell you. Last week during biology I made a very amazing discovery. I was going to post about it last week but then I forgot.

Seriously, I had no idea that that was a thing. I thought 'SCUBA' was a word. Not an acronym. I felt like my whole life was a lie cuz no one told me that. Now I know that you smart Backus people are probably like "huhuhuh Grace is such a blonde" but that's just stupid because it's scientifically proven that the color of your hair does not have anything to do with your personality.
The roots of this [dumb blonde] notion may be traced to Europe, with the "dumb blonde" in question being a French courtesan named Rosalie Duthe, satirised in a 1775 play Les curiosites de la Foire for her habit of pausing a long time before speaking, appearing not only stupid but literally dumb (in the sense of mute).
And people are just stupid and make all these sterotypes that blondes are just dumb without even knowing the reason why. Making themselves be the stupid ones.
What? No, I'm not upset or bitter by this. Why would you say that? pshhhh
Anyway, enough of Grace freaking out about nothing.
Hannah is coming home tonight and I'm really excited. Mercy is gone but Hannah is coming to save my poor little mind. I was actually texting my friend and telling him that I was going to be texting him until Hannah showed up because Mercy was gone and I didn't know how to deal with it. And this guy and Mercy are pretty similar. So I was like 'Oh, I'll teach you how to text like Mercy does. You have to make 1D or Harry Potter references to everything. Laugh about everything and make inappropriate jokes. Preferably about Russian noodle figure skater men, Mr. Bean or gay pedophiles.' But then I decided not to say that because he might have stopped talking to me. But really, we have the strangest friendship I've ever had with anyone. I was going to put some pictures from the Fearsome Foursome Pinterest board... but then I opened it up and got scared and left.
that is our relationship in 9 words.
the end.
<3 Grace
