Oh, Hello!

Hiya! So... yeah. I guess I don't wanna stop blogging. lol. I have a lot to catch up on, and I'm going to be slow starting back up, but I think I'd rather get back to it than just going away entirely. Plus, I miss Treskie, Soph, Jack, and Lacey. 

^_^ 

Here's my first post as of coming back. :) 

Shall we catch up a little? 

Currently: 

Obsessed with - The Imagine Dragons song at the end of this post.

                - Hamburgers

                    -Danisnotonfire

Excited for - New baby nephew and nephew or niece on the way.

             - Being back to taking private violin lessons again

                                              - Autumn! Sweaters, Salted Caramel Mochas, boots, leggings, scarves, and coats. <3 *yes*

                                             - Thor 2, Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Doctor Who 50th anniversary special.

New with me - Having my license and driving myself everywhere.

                                             - Not currently having a crush... Yep. That's new for me. It's rather bizarre and strange feeling. O.o  :)

                                                - Thinking about college. Yeah. :P Blech. Don't want to go at all, but I'm dying to be in an orchestra again and college seems tobe the only way to do that. Plus, it can't be that bad, right? *unsure smile*

*BECAUSE IT'S TOM*

~~~~

So yeh. Some lifey-ish stuff there. How are you all?? Gosh I've missed you. :) 

Excited to be back! 

Loooooooove you!

Do I really have to think of a title?

Sooo.....It's been a while!! 

Wanna see somethin' cool?

This past week, at my orchestra's Ending concert, I was presented with my third, and final, trophy for violin Solos in the Federated Music Club. :D Yep. I'm rather proud of it. I worked hard at getting it this year since this was my last year ever as a part of it. 

The set of two are from Six years of Piano solos, the set of three are for nine years of violin solos. My newest one doesn't have a plaque just yet.

Anyways. Yep. :D Tuesday was my last concert with the orchestra. Kinda sad feeling. 

I'm finally graduating from highscool in only eight days!! I'm so excited! I'm going to have a short, mini-recital, ceremony and a big party afterward. :D 

The one thing I'm *really* not looking forward to is that Noni can't be there. She was going to, but plans changed and she's leaving earlier than we thought. :'( *sniffle* yep. Definitely upset about that. 

I'm so excited about Sunday on, though!! :D Noni is coming to spend most of the week with me and we're gonna hang out, go shopping, sleepover, watch Narnia, talk our faces off, do my senior photos, and have a wonderful time overall. :D 

Remember that job I was talking about way back when?? Well, I got it. :D I started this week and it's going wonderfully. The major downside is getting up at 5:30am every morning. *yaaawn* but I'll get used to it. :) It's not so bad when I have coffee. 

Anyways. there's the lifey overviewish stuff. 

How're you guys??
I miss you. 

:D 

Pictures? I think yes. 

There you have it. Here I am.

Didja miss me??

:D

sooo....

I been thinkin'...

"You been thinkin'!? Now 'orace, I warned you about thinking! I've got the knob for this job!"

yeah, ok. moving on.

I have been thinking though, That I need to take an official break from blogger-world for a little while....I always feel swamped with stuff to do and I don't have ANY kind of inspiration for blogging right now...Like, I sit down to write a post, and start writing and erase, then start writing and erase, ect...So, I'm just gonna quit for a while...

I like to think you'll care as much as Loki does...teehee. ;)

I may post on here every once in a while to letcha know how things are goin', But I think, other than that, that I won't be on much until after I graduate in June.

Hopefully, after that, I'll be back in full-force just like I used to be! I just feel *really* out of the whole blogger thing right now, and I think it's better if I just give it a break.

So, I'll bid you all farewell, until who knows when I'll have the desire/need/feeling to post again. :P

And here's an "ehehe-ing" Hiddles to cheer me up...

Just Tuesday...

So, it's Tuesday. Yup. Definitely Tuesday. *sigh* I feel kinda crappy today. So I've spent the morning drinking gallons of coffee, making cookies, and laghing my face off at relatable GIFs....and decided to share. :D Here are a few - ok. a lot -  of my favorites: 

 

 

Yep....hehehe. I hope those made you giggle like they made me giggle. :D
Happy Tuesday, people.

{P.S. You like Hunger Games?? my sister and one of our friends put together a really great giveaway in honor of their 100th posts! Check it out *here*!}

And Now...

A Moment With Mr. Hiddleston:

This has been A Moment With Mr. Hiddleston.

Post #167

In which I try to describe my feels concerning The Reichenbach Fall after watching it last night. 

Then: 

I cried my eyes out. literally. I haven't cried so much since Ten lost Rose. Or since Daniel Jackson died of radiation poisoning. or since Ten regenerated into eleven. *sniffle* I still kinda tear up over it if I think about it too hard. 

Go watch that show. 

*choke-sob-cry*
