You text me saying you’re going to a Victoria’s Secret fashion show. Am I supposed to congratulate you on that? You weren’t like this a year ago. Don’t try to impress me with your ‘hey-i’m-a-cool-kid-now-that-i’m-in-college’-ness.

College Essay. Not mine, but I like the style~
“If the radiance of 1,000 suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one.”
I am born; I am the flower that emerges from the dirt, willed by the sun to grow into the light. Dar a luz; I am the captain who leads his ship to the promised land from the stormy depths of sea. I am Moses; I am the burning bush. I am the spirit of the Apache. Oh, my unconquerable soul; I am the voice that raises the dead.
Did you see me fall, stumble into the path of the righteous man and resurrect from the grave like Lazarus? Or did it look like I was done, with a white flag waving from my backside like the tail of a dog. Oh contraire, “le mort c’est rien, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.”
Does my hubris leave a bad taste in your mouth? Does it make you mad? Does it make you want to stop reading?
I hereby declare today my last day in the material world; I only live in the world of the ideal, of the beautiful, of the light. Today is the day of the solstice. “E’ meglio vivere un giorno da leone che cent’anni da pecora.” Today, I have traded my sheepskin for a lion’s mane which I wear to crown my victorious heart.
You can blame my pride on the public schools which have been like Santa Ana winds to the California wildfires in my belly. Oh, how they spread to my core.
In the name of Dibler, Reier, Hiltner, Senior, Powell-Walker, Bruneel, McCabe, Soso, Farrar, Gonzalez, Gonzalez, Menchetti, Games, Woolley, Merletti, Bobadilla, Dinerman, Jackson PhD, Deitchman, Al-Atrash, Chaudhry, Huck, Bredland and my man Altaner I ascribe my internal voice, that speaks only in ques- tions. And with the words that come forth like lightning rods, through the power of my pen, I become ruler of the universe.
Go get my eyelids of blue paint. I am the samurai that hides in the shadow of the leaves, silently plotting the redemption of his self-consciousness. I am the young Spartan that defeats his master in combat and is ready for war.
So, please allow me to stand atop this mountain of words and reclaim my title:
I am a Warrior in the boat of Ra! I am destined for Greatness!

Honestly, if I was to be thankful for something, I think it’d be the fact that April and May happened. I feel like I’m more able to stand up for myself now. I don’t allow myself to be pushed around as much I think.
Who knows haha.
And of course, you guys are still the best.
Happy Thanksgiving :)
Ahaha I'm gonna post random pics :)
Mamma made a lime jello dessert.
I don’t know how she made it ‘cause I wasn’t paying attention, but it’s got a really nice natural lime flavor with a clementine inside it. And then there is a lime-zest jello topping so give it a little more flavour. Whipped cream added if desired.
Conclusion : Amazing.
I get credit ‘cause I squeezed all the limes :D
Pictures tomorrow!
Ahahaha Gogogooooo!
…What are you even doing anyways hahaa.
