Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate  .. . . . such as the Solstice)

Anyway, yesterday was amazing for me.  My parents and I actually opened our gifts on Sauturday night so that we could focus on the birth of Christ on Sunday.  I was grateful for this change in plans.  Overall, this holiday has been amazing.
My family got to celebrate in a new house that I love.  Jassy and Arika have both seen it and love it as far as I know.  :)  I am grateful for this new year that will beginning so I can start some new years resolutions!  I love making new goals.  I am not sure how many I will be able to say I continued throughout the year, but I will do my best.  :)  I plan on doing a lot of writing, which I am pretty sure will happen simply because I love writing.  I also hope to work as much as possible (college is sort of expensive), and I hope to become a better person all around.  We will see how it turns out.

If Jassy or Arika see this . . . please write some of your New Year's Resolutions!  I am sure we would all like to hear.  :D

Happy Holidays

Hey
Hey
Hey you
Yeah, you
Hey
Guess what
I GET MY SISTERS BACK NEXT WEEK!!!
I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!

Now that that is out of my system (even though it never really is), time to get to business!
So... two days ago, I had a very strange dream--very, very strange dream.
Let me start by getting the detail that's been really bothering me about it out of the way. I was married to my best friend; when I say best friend, I mean my it's-never-going-to-be-anything-more best friend (believe me, sometimes I wish it was otherwise). Don't get me wrong, I've had dreams where I've been married to him before--most of them end up with something going inevitably wrong.
Just like this one.
So apparently, by marrying him, I angered somebody enough to send an assassin after us. But, thanks to the beauty of dreaming, I was perfectly aware an assassin was coming my way, and, thanks to a knife I had placed under my dream-pillow, I ended up cutting her throat.
She didn't die.
She didn't fight or do anything, mind you, but she was just kinda sitting there, looking at me like she had still somehow won. Well, knowing that she was an assassin, I pinned her (which she let me do rather easily, still just kinda sitting there) and woke up my friend. This is how the dialouge went.
"Hey, wake up!"
"What?"
"There's someone trying to kill us!"
He looked over to where I had the unmoving assassin 'immobilized'
"Why did you wake me up?"
"Uh, because she's trying to KILL US!"
"So? It looks like you've got it,"
"SERIOUSLY?!"
"Yep"
And then he rolled over and went back to sleep, leaving me to deal with the easily dispatched assassin.
While I am happy to know that my dream-friend trusts my mad--ly non-existant kung fu skills enough to take care of an assassin, honestly, I expected him to take control of the situation, and as it is, he normally takes control all the time. So to watch him just turn over and go back to sleep while there was someone trying to kill him and his new wife--I guess it kinda bothered me.

In other news, my book is actually going really smoothly, which I am VERY happy with. Until next time lovely readers :)

The End of . . . . The Beginning!

Today is my last Sunday at college for my first semester.  I can't even begin to explain the happiness and sadness that I feel every time I think of this past semester.  It has been quite a ride.  I've made friends, cried because of homesickness, and managed to get straight A's for a possible full-ride scholarship next year.
I have come to realize that this life is a journey.  It is so short though the days that create it are long roads that we must travel.  I hope to make the best of my college life.  I hope to have more fun in the coming semesters since I know more of what to expect.
I hope to become my best self this next year.  There is a time and place for everything, and I want everything to happen next year.

The roommates and I had a girl's night on Friday.  It was awesome!  We did each other's nails and we tried "Water Marble Nail Art".  If you haven't heard of it, just youtube it and you will be amazed.  We tried it, and for a first timer, I felt my nails looked awesome!

Christmas is coming so soon.  I can't wait till I come home to a new house and am able to drink my Dad's Hot Apple Cider and have a quite Christmas with my family.  I can't wait to see my parents later this week.  I am sure to cry.  :)

Jassy will come home for Christmas and then come back up here to start her second semester.  I am home until April and then she will be home.  It will not be the same without her, but Arika and I will just have to make do.

I hope you all have a great week!  Try and share some of the Christmas Joy with others around you.

Complications of life...and weird dreams.

Well readers as you have probably guessed, I am the worst updater out of my sisters. Well life for me lately has been complicated. You see it all has to do with boys. I am so confused and about ready to take a break from liking them. It all has to do with my ex and another guy. You see my ex and I still like each other even though we are in different states and I am a year older. Since coming to college we would call and talk about once a week. Well in the past few weeks neither of us had called each other. Then my other friend who is coming to my college next month started talking and flirting with me. I started liking him and then found out he liked me. Then my ex called again and we talked and I didn't like the other guy as much. So I think it was because my ex and I didn't talk and I was lonely and sad. And now another guy is coming home from his mission this month, and I don't know how I feel about him. So you can probably see why life is confusing. Other than that it has been grand. I had a great Thanksgiving with my family and even got to go visit my grandfathers grave. I had not had the chance to go before. I get to go home for Christmas and see my family and sister!! I am so excited about that.

I have also decided that sleeping in and taking naps brings about weird dreams. Earlier today after coming back from my chemistry class, I decided to take a nap. I proceed to have a weird dream because of it. I was at a party and lying down on a table while wearing a red dress. I was there drinking water out of a Styrofoam cup and listening to the music. All of a sudden these three vampires came in and one was looking for a mate. He saw me and proceeded to chase me around the building. I finally got outside of the building and got inside my car. The problem was that I couldn't escape because he somehow got my keys. I tried getting them back while he tried biting me. Then the police showed up and helped me get my keys back. I drove away while he was laughing and saying I will never escape him. It was weird. The dream then went on to somehow include Darth Vader and one of my friends from English proposing to me in a house I had never been in. It was a weird yet entertaining dream.
