Beauty Tips 101

Sidewalk is a great exfoliant.  I have no more blackheads.

Wrecked

Yesterday I wrecked while long boarding.  Bad.  Luckily, I still have all my teeth.  The above photo is the perfect recipe for helping-aubs-feel-better.  Chocolate, flicks, blankie, tissues, nailpolish, milkshakes, snoopy bandaides, mederma, and ice packs.  I have great friends.  

Dear Roommates,

My friend Zackary ended up with no place to stay last night.  So he is asleep on our couch.  DO NOT be alarmed.  Also, DO NOT wake him--he is VIOLENT.

Love always,
Aubs

I would never in a million years repeat elementary school.  And I have chosen to forget that time of my life.  But I would never in a million years trade one day of childhood with my sister Jessica.  All of those times are my fondest of memories.

typing out all of my feelings, whether or not it is sensical

on occasion, i miss until my tummy aches.  an odd sensation that doesnt come from being unsatisfied.  no.  i am perfectly content with my current.  but sometimes i allow myself to look back.  to remember.  

nearly a year ago, life was different.  i didnt have a job.  i only spent weekends in logan.  i drove a car shaped like a toaster.  i ate a sack lunch everyday.  i still had some tan from a successful cross country season.  i broke my curfew by an average of four minutes every night.  i watched half of every alien movie ever made. 

a year ago... i missed not kissing, when holding hands was enough to give me butterflies for a week.  i missed my best friends that had left me behind for college, or missions.  i thought life was complex with so many responsibilities to fulfill.  i stressed out over which boy i ought to date.  i missed my sister living a bedroom away.  i could be, and often was, grounded.  i hated making decisions. 

let's compare to my now...i now miss the days when i was sure the person i had kissed the night before would be there the next day.  i now live with the friends who had left me for college.  now life is complex in new ways with new responsibilities.  i now try not to think about dating.  ever.  i now miss my sister more than anything else about home home.  i now can come and go as i please.  i now have no choice but to make decisions.

a year ago i missed certain people until my tummy ached. people who had once been a part of my everyday, but were now miles away, weekly phone calls, and monthly visits.  and people who had once been a part of my everyday, but were now barely acquaintances.  so some things never change.  i still miss.  its just the people i miss that are different.  and its not that i cant live without them, often times i choose to.  but that wont make me miss them any less.

"its the oldest story in the world.  one day youre seventeen and planning for someday, and then quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today, and that someday is yesterday and this is your life."

i'm glad i could humor a complete male-stranger today

Stand nearly ten feet away from your computer screen.  Take off your glasses.  It could look like this figure in the above image is wearing a skirt, right?  Good.  Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.
