Thanksgiving Flashback

The Story of Me

Turkey Goble

One chilly November I was sitting in the barn next to my best friend Cowy the Cow, trying to fall asleep. Yes I remeber it like it was yesterday.....

"Honey its time to feed the Turkey" said Mrs. Goblerodel as she cut an orange juicy carrot for dinner. Mr. Goblerodel came down stairs and went out side. This is the part where I thought I was in heaven. Mr. Goblerodel picked up the turkey food and spread a bunch by my nose. I jumped up in surprise as he walked away. "Hey Cowy" I said with a puzzled look. "Don't I only get fed at breakfast and lunch?" "Well yeah" said Cowy, not paying any attension "Oh well" I skipped over to the lot of food and gobled up the food faster than a jack rabbit. I was out like a light in a few minutes.

The next few days I was fed and fed and fed and I got fater and fater and fater. Until I was so fat that I couldn't even fit in the dog door. Not that I went throught the dog door.

One day I think I bragged a little too much about being fed the most in the barn. Finally one of the geese got soo sick of my bragging that the geese waddled up to me and told me the truth. "You fat turkey the only reason they are feeding you so much is because they are trying to fatten you up so you can be dinner on Thanksgiving." the geese swaked. That night I could scarcley sleep.

A few days before Thanksgiving and I've haven't a plan. "I don't want to die" I cried out. I looked over at my friend Cowy he was lieing down kicking rocks. I wobbled over to him. "Cowy" I said sadly with tears filling me eyes. "Will you let me die or will you try and save me?" I said. "Well Turkey Gobble sence you are my dearest friend I will have to at least try to save you." he said. "i will work on the plans tonight" he said "but I suggest you go to sleep" "OK goodnight Cowy and Thank you" I said drowseley and dozed off.

It was the night before Thanksgiving and Cowy still hasn't told me the plan. "Cowy are finished with the plan" I said "Almost" he said. "Can I see it" I said excitedly. "Sure" he said daydreaming in a strange way. I wobbled on over to him and all I saw on his paper was BLANK. "COWY! I thought you said you were almost finished" I exclaimed. "Well you see I thought some and I didn't need to come up with a plan the only thing you have to do is escape and take me too!" he said. "Billiant, I better go to sleep really early" I said. "But Turkey Goble its 1:00 in the morning" he said confused. "like I said, early" I said and fell asleep.

The next day I awoke to an ear shaddering scrape. I opened my eyes and Mr. Goblerodel was coming straight at me with an axe. I ran as fast as I could towards Cowy whe I got ovr to him he jumped and quickly saw Mr. Goblerodel come with an axe. "Follow me" he said. I followed him and I was shaking so badly and I was so frightened that a few times I stummbled oven over my own 2 feet. When we came to a dead end Mr. Goblerodel came closer and closer untill he finnally cornec corned us by the fence. He took up the axe and just when I thought it was all over for me he swung the axe and at that very moment I was lifted and carried away by Cowy who had jumped the fence and taken me away. Yes I learned a valuleble lesson that day never brag. No never eat lost of food before Thanksgiving. As for me and Cowy now we live on the barn we had ran from and and the Goblerodel's farm.

Now the children Jack and Jen are convinced as keeping both me and Cowy Cowy and I as pets not food. Oh yeah I forgot to tell what the Goblerodels had for Thanksgiving dinner. Tha Goblerodels had for Thanksgiving. The Goblerodels ate Turkey Gobler, one of my other friends. Poor Tunkey Gobler. Poop Poor Turkey Gobler.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Currently Crushing: Youtube Edition

I couldn't chose just ONE thing to rant about today...

 So, Currently Crushing is up again today,

with every Youtube video I've been obsessed with lately!

Oh surely you didn't expect me to get over these SAME things so quickly, did you?

I warn you, it's a long post... be ready for story-time

Go ahead, click on to see it all X )

I'll go ahead and start you off with this though:

The Adventurous Adventures of One Direction

Just skips over the awkward bits & you've got a 1D Animated Comedy
P.S. Bacon Tacos...

Bibliotheque

I ventured out into the chilly weather to come to the library. 

While I've previously mentioned my hatred for this cold, silent, and creepy 10-story building...

I've hated nothing more than the very bedroom I sleep in each night.

Rewind to the end of Spring Semester last year...
Moving out of Sanford should have been a joyful experience. Getting away from the community showers, noisy neighbors, and minimal space was definitely a relief, but as I turned around to shut the door for the very last time, I became sentimental.

Looking around the room I saw every positive and negative emotion I felt in that space. I saw myself sitting at my desk Skyping with my friends, dancing around being silly with my roommate, laying in bed arguing with my ex, pacing back and forth tearing up over the loss of Abby, and curling up into the corner of my bed screaming and crying hysterically about Gary's passing. I could literally see all of these things before my eyes. It shocked me how vivid I made everything. I didn't want to leave it all behind. SO much had changed in one short year...


So not only is there a giant mess stretching to every corner of my current room, but standing at my door looking in I see every emotion I have felt there. I won't get into all that I feel when I sit at my desk, but I know it makes me want to jump out the window and run as fast as I can. How do you get these memories and feelings to leave your room for good?

At this point I have no solution... 

so here I am, in the library I once dreaded... 

feeling more comfortable and happier than ever

Currently Crushing: Katherine Cimorelli

When I first began obsessing over Cimorelli, a Youtube band of six Californian sisters with amazing voices, I found myself in love with Lauren's voice [ and beauty of course ] The love then shifted over to Lisa, all the while never forgetting how much I loved Dani's voice :)

I definitely didn't show Christina, Katherine or Amy much love :/ But today, I'm coming out to say it. Katherine Cimorelli.

At a point in time hardly my favorite, 

has stolen my heart

After following her on Twitter, I wound up on her blog Sonnets and Scribbles where she writes poems & lyrics. I melted. I basically love every message, strength, weakness, and joy that she puts on this website. I started to relate to her more and more, and every video I watched after that made me see her in a different light. Going to be cliche and say it... 

never judge a book by its cover

and another lesson:

LISTEN TO CIMORELLI

Phoenix Halloween Party

Caroline // Me // Alette

Bunny // White Masquerade Thing // Jester (Black Masquerade Thing)

 
Had lots of fun tonight at a nearby club. We went for Alette's friend's 21st birthday & had a blast. We danced all night until we couldn't dance any longer. Then we left & took along crazy Buzz Lightyear (see below), got Cook-out & safely dropped him off! Overall we had a great time dancing together & being silly & laughing at all the sad attempts of men trying to dance with us & get our attention. Lame lame lame. Where were all the hipster lumberjacks? Lol.

 The only picture I could find of another friend from the group we went with. Buzz Lightyear!

Currently Crushing: Ed Sheeran

While I find him quite adorable & attractive for a redhead, it's not just his look I'm crushing on!

His music mellows me out.

&&&

He writes his music himself

Unfortunately something you don't often come across.

PLUS

He's British!

The A Team

Lego House

Very cool song & video...

Not to mention:

Ed SheeranRupert Grint

*boom*

(that was my mind exploding)

Although, when you place the two next to each other I have a hard time choosing.

If you had to choose...
Ed Sheeran Rupert Grint Ew, neither!

Drunk

This video just cracks me up.

Party tonight at my house, everyone bring your cat!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, if anyone wanted to buy me one... or all... of his CD's

or even CONCERT TICKETS

[I'd only have to fly to London & back]

I'd love them forever :)

T-Swift

Stress relief

Lack of time for expression

8 posts halfway written
Coming soon...

Short Story:

Went to Jen's house to talk about wedding shtuff.

Helped them practice their vows.

Chris was being silly.

I chimed in with a:

I STILL LOVE YOU

[in a Taylor Swift voice]

Jen didn't realize what I was doing at first

I continued with:

I mean this is exhausting

We are never getting back together

like

ever

She laughed & replied with:

Alright T-SWIFT let's get back to the vows

Please pay close attention to the gorilla and the emo lion-ish guy.

They always stare intently at the camera. 

They are my favorite part of this video.

I die ery tyme.

Silly Taylor... empowering women

What was she thinking?!?

:P

If Unicorns Existed

They forgot Voodoo Magic somewhere near the rear-end!

Grant my wishes

So many things my unicorn would allow me to have or do
No limitations on wishes, as long as I stay on his good side!

Fly me to exotic places... or maybe just to class

My unicorn would fly me everywhere I wanted.
Lettus, climb aboard, we're taking a day trip to Utah!

Create a rainbow at my command

Who wouldn't love to see a rainbow anywhere at anytime?

It would be even more profitable if a pot of gold appeared at the end!

Punish the people I dislike

Just like the Sims 3 Pets' (evil) Unicorns, maybe mine could help me out?

Nothing TOO mean... perhaps a wedgie or Facebook hack?

Girl Scout Hunger Games

Imagine the look on my face when I heard that my mom's troop was attending a Hunger Games themed Camporee... All I could picture was small Girl Scouts battling til death. Horrible. Fortunately it's just a theme where the events will consist of self-defense classes and archery! My mom called upon my to be the creative eye and create t-shirts for the girls to wear during their weekend. I had to make sure they looked cool! So, District 734 needed their very own emblem:

I used Iron-Ons which turned out to be not as fun as I thought. I wrote SKILL instead of weapon & the girls loved writing in what each of them strived at. It was cute to hear about them writing 'Cooking' or 'Problem Solving' :)

I used the font from the cover of the actual book: Hunger Games Font

Goals

I finally mustered up the courage to publish the "Mes Buts" page... 

Originally to be called the Bucket List, I realized it wasn't just a list of things I wanted to do before I die. I'm used to comparing my list to these über glorified & exciting bucket lists posted all over the internet. Although somewhat fearing judgement, if I'm going to post my goals up for the world to see, then I'm going to be completely honest about it. 

I found my list isn't just crazy risks or things that are once in a lifetime. They're things that some people may have already done in life, things I want to do before a certain season ends (and will most likely repeat every year), and simple tasks I feel I need to do to feel accomplished in life and become a better person. 

I want to go to bed every night feeling that I made progress towards something on my list.

It's a hard task to write everything you want to do in life. I had to practically tear my bedroom apart to find my notebook that I had used to keep track of it all. I took a bright blue pen to the paper, scribbled out all of the things that were no longer important to me, and began to type. I have no doubt that I will randomly think of things to add all the time and I surely will make posts when I cross something off the list.

Some things I have to work towards over time, others will be a one time thing or even luck. Basically, the page is a hodgepodge mess of my wishes, hopes, and dreams ☆

Post.Script. > 

I will gladly take suggestions on Books to Read (probably my shortest list since I don't read often) or things to do during one of the seasons!

Post.Post.Script. >

While going through my notebook... Start & keep up with a blog was on the list. I guess I'm in the midst of that goal :)

October Nails: Funny Story

Cooking Adventure: Crêpes

The first time I ever made crêpes they turned out as pancakes

That was the Summer of 2010 shortly after returning from France

Now it's Fall of 2012

I'm donating crêpes for UNCC's Annual International Festival (IFEST)

The pressure was on...

I was so afraid that these crêpes were going to flop

But I was greatly surprised

The batter turned out great & gave me

nice

thin

occasionally crispy edged

crêpes

Now all I need to do is practice

Especially shaping them...

a few turned out less circular than desired

Nonetheless I am very content.

Used this simple recipe

Plunging into Fall

 I wanted to title this:

Falling for Fall

but that's what everyone says...

so I decided to plunge in :)

My awkward setup...

Standing on my porch snapping the pictures seen above

Engagement Photos au Parc

This day was definitely a day to remember...

for many reasons!

To avoid reliving my frustration with technology & self stupidity,

I've chosen to share this single memory:

Taking photos at the park in town

This one turned out a bit blurry,

but Roxy & Ruby are posing princesses!

Guess Roxy got a little restless and needed to switch positions

When suddenly:

Good thing Aunt Britter's can run fast...

caught her attempting to intimidate a large dog
