Went to Max Schneider's show at The Roxy with Moo & Daisy.

Took photos with Spicy, Karp, & Beau.
Had Jamba Juice that tasted like chili mango candies. 

For the past two or so years I've wanted to open up a store and sell shorts & little things like bracelets and accessories, but I never start. I always start doubting myself and think "Why would anyone want to buy anything from me?" Then of course, I back out of it. Maybe I'll do it. I have to make myself do it.

First it started off with Gabe & I getting into an Art School together. One night, we got a book sent to us. It was like a design book or something. I don't know. We were pretty excited. While at the campus, I ended up becoming best friends with Juria. She knew secret passages and secret hideaways. We would go through this pond and go underground. & people would would drink from this water stream, but we found out that it was poison. Within the day, many people wound up dead. There was a pig too. We thought we could stop the people from dying, but when we tried to go to our secret hiding place, it was filled with water.

One of my favorite lines from the book "Perks Of Being A Wallflower." This line can relate to a majority of people, myself included. In all honestly, I think you have to love yourself and be proud of who you are in order to be truly happy. You'll only see what others see in you once you're content with yourself. I think I finally understand that now. Whether it's physical features to where you're headed in life. If you're not happy with yourself, you have to work hard and reach that goal of being happy. 

I now have a monthly work out calendar that I'm going to try and follow from Blogilaties. It lists about four to six work outs a day, and it's my goal to try and follow it. I've never done anything like this before so I know it's going to be a challenge. Even if I don't do all six I'll at least do a majority of them; it's better to do some than none at all. By the end of the month (or maybe next) I want to be able to do all of them with no problem. Maybe I'll need more time, but I will do this and keep this up. 
A hand full of people have body image issues, and I'm one of those people. Instead of complaining and not doing anything about it, I'm taking a stand and changing that. I might not eat the right way, but I'll definitely try my hardest to not eat so much junk food. Especially when I'm bored. Water will become my best friend. 

The Summer Set

Words can't describe how much I love this band. I've seen them various times and every time I watch them preform I sing my heart out. Hands down they're one of my favorite bands. Listening to this song makes me so excited for their new album "Legendary" to come out. Saying I'm happy for them is an understatement, they deserve every bit of it.

They recently formed a group called "The Half Moon Kids." Watching the video of how they came up with the idea and why, it genuinely made me want to cry. Everyone has their moments, but at the end of the day they're all just amazing people. Brian recently moved to LA from AZ and you can tell he's so much happier. He doesn't seem so down all the time. Just by seeing that makes me so happy. Thank you, Brian, Stephen, Jess, John, & Josh. I love you all so much.

My first thought: If you were a musician would you care if people illegally downloaded the music you made? Some people make such a big deal when other people illegally download or leak new songs that haven't come out yet, but at the end of the day everyone gets to listen to your music. I know some artists / musicians that post free downloads to all their new songs and albums. 

Second thought: I was watching a Korean drama during dinner and oddly enough it got me thinking. If I didn't have the attention span of a fish or if I was academically smart, I would major in Sociology or become a private investigator. Prying into peoples lives with no emotional connection with them would be so interesting to do for a living. I think I've been watching too many detective television shows lately. Why not major in Sociology or become a private investigator, you ask? Having to sit in a class room, sounds tremendously unappealing to me. Obviously nothing is handed to you and you have to work hard for what you want, but I physically can't sit in a class room, pay attention to someone talk for an hour or two, and not fall asleep. Unless that particular teacher is very enthusiastic, obnoxious, and interesting. Which you rarely have teachers like that. Which is depressing. 

School Update: Finally called my adviser and told her that I wanted to start school sometime in July. The only downside is that my financial aid will go down. Hopefully it wont be by a lot. She told me that she would keep in touch, and I would do the same, obviously. I have three goals before July. Get my license, a job, and finish redecorating my room. 

Fitness Update: What insane person does Pilates workouts at 2:30 in the morning in heels? That would be me. I died. I haven't gone to the gym in such a long time, memberships are pricey and I don't have the money to get another one. So home workouts will have to do. I wrote down what to do daily before bed. Mondays: legs Tuesdays: abs Wednesdays: arms Thursdays: legs Fridays: jogging. Hopefully I'll stick to this. I have to. I'll try to jog every Friday or so when I'm home or maybe I'll do that every Thursday since I usually go out every weekend. I hate jogging in public. Mainly because everyone has a staring problem, and they think it's weird for someone to be exercising. Hopefully exercising will help me fall asleep earlier as well. Doubt it seeing that it's already 3:52am. I can only hope.

I finally got myself to make a blog. It'll take some time getting used to seeing that I've never used this before. Nor have I ever kept a blog / journal that was public to the internet. I don't know what I'll ever post here, but I'm going to try my best to keep up with it. This is much more personal than Tumblr, it feels much more official. I'll hopefully be doing some DIY projects, beauty, and music reviews. Mixed in with some personal thoughts of mine (like this post right here).

At the moment, I'm in that phase where I know what I want to do with my life, it's just finding that "right time to start." I believe that you need to be in the right mind set when you begin to start something. Whether it's as simple as baking a batch of brownies or as complex as picking out the perfect college to attend. I'm half way there. Well, more like seventy-five percent there. I am planning on attending beauty school sometime in the near future for Cosmetology. Scary right? Who would ever trust me with a pair of scissors? I've been doing my own hair since about eighth grade when my mom told me, "You can do whatever you want with your hair, just don't ask me to help you." been cut & coloring ever since. I've been growing it out for the past two years or so. It went from cutting it every month to a trim ever couple of months. The only downside about going to beauty school is that it's ten consecutive months. One thing that I've been doing since the age of thirteen are going to concerts. One music festival that happens during the month of July is Warped Tour. Summer, friends, working a tent, & music. What more can you ask for? Sounds perfect right? Well, if I start beauty school anytime before July, I'll have to miss Warped Tour and other concerts. It sounds silly, but I would literally wait and start in July so I can attend a week of shows. If I end up waiting, I want to get a job and get my license. Yes, I'm a noob and I only have my permit. No need to judge. Every person is different. I'm just a late bloomer. It's difficult communicating to a father who doesn't speak / understand English as well as you do. I just have to thoroughly think everything through once again. Everything will work out, eventually.
