Abnormal Enjoyments
These are some things I've done in the past week or two that I don't normally do:

Snow Day!
It's been so long since we've had one. I'm just enjoying the warmth of the house today. I might go to the bank later. Yesterday was Valentine's Day. I'm very happy because my mom is now ENGAGED!!! :D Andy asked us for permission and we all said yes, shortly followed by "Finally!" I'm so excited!
Thanks to the snow day, I don't have driver's ed today either! YES! I now have a lot of chocolate as of yesterday. I think today besides doing some homework, I would like to patch my favorite jeans and clean my room from top to bottom. I'll also need to work out... :) Whether this all happens remains to be seen.

Better post
I have hereby decided that I need to just blog about interesting things, so I can stop boring anyone that reads this. I bore myself reading things I've written. But it has been a little while and I have a lot on my mind. I want to write something good.
I've learned a lot this month. A lot about friends, mostly. You need each friend for certain reasons. That could be to make you laugh, let you cry all over them, be angry along with you, listen to everything you're going through, give you advice, call you out when you screw up...and they could need you for these too. Not everything though because that's way too much pressure for someone to bear.
I've also learned that everyone has different boundaries. Some have many, others have zero. Both are just fine! It's really interesting to me how different people can be and still get along. The hardest part is learning what kind of people we are and reasons why people get along or don't get along. I just hope learning these things can lead to solutions, rather than just dry knowledge. It's hard to learn this stuff though. Sometimes you have to go through some real crap to figure it out and by then you can only hope it's not too late to make it work.
One of the best things I heard this month was, "It's easy to be there for someone when they don't expect it." Courtesy of KP. That's the best time to help people--when they're hurting or struggling or whatever and it just comes naturally to help them. Otherwise if you try to help them and it's not what was expected, there's no way it'll be satisfactory. If someone was feeling bad and you made them cookies, it would be wonderful! They would be totally grateful. But if someone was feeling bad and said, "Can you make me some cookies?" and you made some but they weren't their favorite kind, it wouldn't be all that great. It would be OK, but it wouldn't really help you feel much better.
I'm not trying to make a point here or anything, I just want to get all of this out, I guess... I'm not an expert at any of this stuff. I just really like it. I hope all of this will make me better later on because without it, things were frustrating and confusing. Well, more so than now at least. I'm pretty sure something will always be frustrating and confusing as long as there are humans.

Well hey it's February!
I'm procrastinating reading a textbook so I figured I'd blog. Today at driver's ed we saw pictures of people that got all mangled up in car crashes. :P Honestly I think it's their goal to scare us into being good drivers. I'm a little worried my blog is just boring now... If so, I deeply apologize. But I also don't really care because I'm just going to keep posting. Lucky for you, they're generally pretty short and won't take up too much time.
I have all these things that I wish I could do. That I will do when I actually have free time. However that won't be for like 3 months, unfortunately. These are in no particular order.

- Yoga
- Ice/Roller Skating
- Volunteer some more
- Hang out downtown when it's warmer
- Finish another scarf
- Reorganize my room
- Snowboard with friends
- Finish reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid
That's all I can think of at the moment. So I will leave you with this... Snargle blargle. Good night!
