help and stuff.

Hi! 

So I've got stuff to giveaway and I've got a few posts left before my 200th annnnnnd I need some help! Those people that have done giveaways before? Did you use something like Punchtab or Rafflecopter? Did you like them? Did you just do your own thing? I'd kinda like to do my own thing but I'll need a random name picker thingy online. Any you've used? 

Anyways. 

On to stuff. 

:) 

Owl City replied to a comment I made on a hideous Instagram picture he took...

Just a side note, I read all the comments on that top photo and mine was the ONLY comment that said anything like that. Someone commented later and was like "OMG! @music_nerd_95!! Look at his newest post!!" annnd I died. ehehe.

Yeah. That happened. xD

Also, This happened....:

That, my dear friends, is DAN FREAKING HOWELL AND TOM FREAKING HIDDLESTON. 

IN THE SAME PICTURE. AT THE THOR: THE DARK WORLD PREMIER.

(please excuse my excessive use of upper case letters for a moment.)

I literally started having seizures in the middle of Orange Leaf. People thought I was crazy. WHO THE HECK CARES!!! My two *BIGGEST* British crushes ever on the planet who I love to death and fangirl over both of daily. AT ONCE!! *laksjhdakjhsgdkhjsgd* Dan is apparently pretty excited, too. ;) hehehehehe. oh, gosh I love this picture so much. *EEEK!!* 

*sigh* 

Yep. fangirl moment.....

I hadda go to the eye doctor yesterday. yep. Because I do so much reading on the computer what with work and all. I've been getting headaches from it. 

I have an astigmatism. 

So now here's an awful picture I just took on my webcam of what I now look like for the many hours a day that I'm on my computer. 

just like that. blank expression, favorite huge hoodie that feels like you're being hugged by baby bunnies, usually biting my fingernails (yep. horrible), hair slung over one shoulder, coffee nearby... yeah. That's what I look like in real life. haha. 

Anyhow. That's news. 

Plus, I decided to see how I looked in Swag. 

O.o

Peace out, homies. ;)

It rained and stormed all night last night. It was rather lovely to wake up to several times. for real. :) 

So, yes. I'm going to do a giveaway. NOt sure how or what or when, yet. but I got some stuffs for it. :D lol. I hope you like the stuffs. I do. :D I like some of it so much I had to get me the same thing. yep. it's that cool. 

Here's some random pictures off my phone so the quality is horrible, but oh well. 

Le Me! :)

my beautiful skullcandy headphones

that moment when you're snapchatting your friends and a wild brother appears. O.o

Anyhow. That's about it, I think....

pointless post!

Hey! It's wednesday! 

I like Wednesday. 

I don't know why.... I just do. 

Can you believe it's OCTOBER!? 

*spasms*

The craziest of soup. 

Like The Chronicles of Narnia:The Silver Chair movie I see they're making??

WHAT! 

 Did I tell you why I decided to keep my blog? 

Because I love it. 

But I've resolved not to "try" with this blog. 

"I DO WHAT I WANT, THOR!!" 

:) I used to want to be like the other bloggers I admire so much who always have the prettiest pictures, and the most meaningful, deep posts, or something creative going on, or something...that're just beautiful, you know?

I'm not that kind of blogger, though. lol. So if that's what you like you'll hate my blog. 

I'm random and weird and uncreative and crazy and that's how I'mma blog since it's what I do best. ^_^ 

Oh, you guys!! It's National Pointless Post day! Yeah. Noni (On A String. Best blog ever in case you haven't checked it out.) just said so. So there. Go see her pointless post. It's better than mine.

post a pointless post. 

do it.

{P.S. wanna join an epic giveaway!? Cait over at My Unicorn Has Wings put together something seriously awesome. Go look!! <3}

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!

Hai. :)

Life is good. 

Yep. I just decided that. 

Actually, I've decided it before, but I just re-decided that today. 

:) 

*le sigh* 

Sometimes, things don't go quite like we expected them to or how we thought they would. 

And sometimes you think that means everything sucks. 

but it doesn't. 

God knows *exactly* what he's doing. 

Even though it's hard for us to see most of the time....

ok, every time... 

lol. :D 

Anyways. I wanted you to know that. 

And also, I'm almost to my 200th post.... 

And also, I might be leaving Blogger. 

Also, we have new kittens. 

Also....yep. 

bye!! 

<3

*happy dance*

Hey, you guys!! I'm finished!

That's right. 

Finished with Highschool FOREVER. :D 

I graduated yesterday. 

It was pretty much the best day ever.

Emilee and me. :D <3 Em has been one of my best friends since I was about three years old. LOVE her.

Me, Micah (brother), Joshua (brother), and Kathy (orchestra director and former private teacher)

My sister Joanna accompanied my solo pieces on the Piano. :D and Jonni turned the pages for her.

My Daddy and me after diploma presentation

Friends!

Games and hangin'. :D <3

 Of course, I was scared to death at the actual ceremony. I always am right before I perform. I did kind of a mini violin recital, with two solos and a quartet piece. And after that was my party and it was a ton of good friends and we just had a great time hanging out, playing games, and laughing our faces off. Afterward we all went to Andy's Frozen Custard for ice cream and a good deal more laughing, but I don't have any pics from that. :( 

It was SO much fun. 

The only thing missing was my Bestest Bestie. :'( 

I missed you like crazy soup NoniJoy!!! <3 <3 <3 

Thursday was pretty amazing too. :D We and a bunch of the same friends, plus a few, all spent the entire day at Silver Dollar City and had an AMAZING time. Noni was there for that. Which made it perfect overall. :D lol. <3 

(I have quite a few pictures for this post. I hope you don't mind!!)

this is "my" group. lol. we all stuck together pretty much the whole day. Left to Right: Micah (brother), Me, Noni, Aerial, Emilee, Sydney, Daniel, Daniel (Brother), Thayne

Me e Noni!!! xD <3

Almost the whole group. xD

My favorite ladies!! These girls are the best. Left to right: Emilee, Jonni (sister), Noni, Aerial, Me, Sydney.

 :D yes, that was good times. 

Annnyways. 

I've had an amazing weekend! 

I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with or commenting on all you guys' blogs! I have to take the ACT in about a week that I'mma be studying for during pretty much ALL of my free time, and I have work most mornings....So, hopefully in a week or so I'll be back more regularly. Life is crazy beans right now. lol. <3

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 

xx

{Rachel}

Howdy ho!

Oh, hello!! 

No, I'm not back...Not yet...Just popping in for a hello. 

I miss you guys, that's what! All you awesome, funny, adorable, epic bloggers. 

Anyways, just wanted to let you know a little bit of what's goin' on in my life! 

1. I'm almost recovered from the chickenpox. yup. chickenpox. They're awful!! Don't get 'em if you've never had 'em! really. They're nasty buggars and they take eons to go away. yup. I hate them. 

2. I'm still on the waiting list for that online job I mentioned before, but now I'm also going to be doing another job for a friend of ours...I'm hoping I can start on that soon! I'm trying to rush my Drivers License so that I can drive myself to and from that job...

3. School's comin' along....slowly, but surely! lol. I finished my Government and Economics book. FINALLY. Now all I've got left is half a huge fat book, The Life of Adoniram Judson, to read and write a nasty essay on, my ACT to study for, and my math book to finish up. Almost done!! 

4. I adore doughnuts. 

5. actually, food. I love food. I freaking love food. 

6. Matt Smith and Freaking David Tennant on set. 

That is all. 

Well, that's about it......mm-hm. I can't wait until my face is normal-looking again. That'll be lovely. 

So, I remember now, Why I left. I'm out of things to say. Completely out. haha. so, pictures and I'm off again! <3 <3 

Love you guys to bits. 

xoxo

{Rachel}

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...
