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. ;)

So far it's a beautiful Saturday, dears. Coffee, oversized hoodies, music, and lovely bloggies. 

I'm in love with right now. ^_^ 

I was gonna go to the mall today with Jonni and my sis-in-law, Toni, but that didn't work out...

That's okay. :) I'm loving being home right now. Plus, I don't think I could do the mall today anyways...my hip randomly went out yesterday afternoon and hurts like heck. :P 

Anyways, I'm almost to 200 posts!! I kinda wanna do something special...

Any ideas?

I think a giveaway is in order...

I love it when the sunlight fades in and out from behind enormous, delicious looking clouds...

Anyhow. Weird little post here, yeah. I gotta get started on work. 

Happy Weekend, lovelies! 

<3 <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*

My newest piece of Doctor Who fandom!! Bought it at Hot Topic last weekend!! *eek*! SO proud of it. yes. 

 

Here is the fingernail polish job I did this morning!! I'm obsessed with anything British and my friend found a great tutorial on how to do these fingernails and I *had* to try it. :D Whatcha think? And, of course, how else to model these fingernails than with a Sonic Screwdriver and amazing DW t-shirt?? :) 

how I feel every time I use my srewdriver. ;)

 

Let's all just take a while to recollect ourselves after seeing that hair.............

Ten is still wearing Nine's coat. ^_^

Annnnnd one for the Eleve people. lol. Sorry. As you can tell I'm slightly partial to Ten.... <3

Yes. There was some random Doctor Who spamming. 

You're welcome.

P.S. Thanks for all your dolly comments in the last post. ^_^ I haven't decided yet if I'll stay or no... It's all undecided right now. :) 

P.P.S. This: 

Also, his cover of Adele's "Turning Tables" with "Someone Like You" is one of my favorites. :) 

<3

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!!

Lyrics....Friday. O.o

Yep. But hey, I wanted to post. And these lyrics came to mind....

{Go hit play on the video before you read...}
~~~~

Well I sat down next to a photograph
Tried my best almost made her laugh
She was my toughest crowd
There in the way was a moutain up in the clouds

Well I can't sleep and I'm not in love
I can't speak without messing up
Eyes tell of what's behind
And hers showed the way to a long and lonely climb
But through failure I'll proceed
And she'll see how far I've come

And it's you and me in the sun and sea
I'll offer my arms to yours
It seems to me, no mystery
it isn't
So I'll try hard to speak

Well I sat down next to a living hell
Tried my best until I struck out
Movement is not mine
I stood in the way pretending that I was the vine
But no failure will proceed from a mouth that drinks it's wine 

And it's not me
Not my sanctity
These aren't my words to you
It's all clear when it's not from here
So clear
So I'll try not to speak

 

~~~~~

{Seriously. Listen.}

~~~~

It's been a long week. 

*sigh*

I'm looking forward to it being over. 

I need a new week. 

Anyways.

Senior photos, you said?

Heyo! 

So I've had some requests for a Senior photo post, so here goes! 

Before I post them, though, I'll just tell you I am never *ever* fond of photos of myself. lol. I feel silly looking and awkward. I'm posting these for y'all, and I hope you can at least enjoy the gorgeous photography of the beautiful and talented NoniJoy! <3 :D

enjoy. ;) 

annnyways. lol. There are those. the photography is beautiful, isn't it?? Noni is the best. 

It's gonna take me a while getting back into the groove of this blogging thing. lol. :P I feel like I've been gone for forever. 

What do you guys want to hear about? questions to ask me? anything you're curious about? lemme know! <3 

xx

{Rachel}

*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
