It's Always Darkest Before the Dawn
So, exams are super anti-climatic.
I had a big history exam today, on the entire 20th century, that was worth 70% of my final mark, a little intimidating. It was a joke. It just goes to show that if you actually study hard and well, the exam can be the easiest part of the entire course, after all, by that point you know what you're doing, or you should anyways.
I love the feeling after you finish an exam of being able to be like "Wow, I have nothing to do... cool." It's the best.
So today I think I'll just post a few pictures and songs and such... you know, for your inspiration ;)
Oh! Oh! Oh! I forgot! I went to Cirque du Soleil's show Dralion! If you remember, I believe I've mentioned it before, I'm absolutely OBSESSED with Cirque du Soleil. In fact, if I could I would run away and join them ;) I've always wanted to be a part of the circus. I have a sort of fascination for them, circuses of all kinds, which is why one of my FAVOURITE movies of all time is Water for Elephants. I love the old vintage-y circus feeling it has. Cirque du Soleil is the embodiment of everything I love about circuses, it's majestic and beautiful and captures and combines emotion and movement in one big beautiful mess of a show. I absolutely adore it.
Here's the trailer for Water for Elephants, by the way, in case you haven't seen it.
Lately, I've been really into country music and southern food... so, I've been searching through Pioneer Woman's recipes and dying of desire for all of her delectable food. I want to try this. Maybe you might too.

So, I've decided this will be a rambling post. Hope it's not too boring, bare with me ;).
I feel like I might have posted this before, but if not you must watch it. Now. Like actually. Now.
It's from my other favourite movie, (500) Days of Summer. I looooove Joseph Gordon-Levitt & Zooey Deschanel. Did you know Zooey was named after Zooey from Franny & Zooey by J.D. Salinger? That only makes her MORE awesome.
Anyways I promised photos! Here goes...
 |
| Because (500) Days of Summer is beautiful. |
 |
| Because nothing makes me as happy as a little M.A.G.I.C. |
 |
| Because Amelia Earhart is my hero. She was such a strong, beautiful, independent woman who never let anyone stop her from following her dreams. And she loved planes and adventure almost as much as I do. |
 |
| Because this is the coolest Burger King advertisement in the history of Burger King advertisements. |
 |
| Because I've always wanted a trunk like this. |
 |
| Just... because. |
 |
| Because few things are as exciting as a brand new black marker and a blank white page. |
 |
| Because I love Luna Lovegood and Harry Potter. |
 |
| Because it's beautiful. |
 |
| Because clocks are another one of my obsessions. |
 |
| Because she does have good taste in music. |
 |
| Pioneer Woman's Fruit Pizza (recipe here) |
Yum.
Alright, I guess that's enough for one night. I was going to focus on circuses but I got off track. Sorry.
And here's a final song, for your inspiration. ;)

It's All a Masquerade
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. My life has changed a lot since the start of 2012.
It's funny how friendships work. I think that friendships (and perhaps relationships too) work not because of the people involved, not because they were such a great couple, or worked great as best friends, but because of the time in their lives. It's like, at that particular time, for a certain amount of time, something with in each person was exactly right for the other. They were exactly what each other needed. Sadly, even that always seems to end. It always seems that something within one, or both, people changes and they're no longer perfect. Maybe you don't know what changed, maybe you drifted apart, maybe you had a fight and realized "Man, I really do not like this person as much as I thought," or maybe some inexplicable force you can't describe drove you apart so efficiently and suddenly that you cannot believe it had happened so fast. One minute, your best friends. The next, your not.
This happened to me. The last scenario. I had a friend, a best friend, for almost exactly one year, 2011. But now, without so much as an actual, legitimate argument, we don't talk at all. We're finished.
I'm baffled by it.
I've been trying so hard to figure out what went wrong, what happened, how I can fix this mess, whether or not I SHOULD fix this mess. I think I've come to realize that it's out of my control.
I'm thinking of making a timeline. Starting when I was very little, with all of the people that were important to me, and continuing on through the years. Seeing who was important when, who still is, who always has been. One thing I will say, however, is if you've ever been important to me, you still are.
Even the infamous friend of 2011, by chance if you read this, you are still important to me. You always will be. Perhaps its not the best place to say it, but if you ever need me for anything, ever, I've still got your back. I told you I'd be there for you forever, and I meant it.
Whether you like it or not, even though we're no longer friends, I'd still come running if you needed me.
Anyways, sorry for this sappy little confession :S
I really like this song, and band.
