I'd like to take a moment here to re-post a section of a entry I wrote on here at the beginning of my senior year. I was looking back on old posts and I saw this, and it was seriously surreal to me for a number of reasons.... haha :) Hopefully you guys will find it as funny as I did. :)
Ahem. So here it is.
"You know what sucks?
Time. Time SUCKS. It really, honestly does.
Flashback to first grade...
I was sitting on the floor with my friend Ford. We were arranging pictures of different objects into the categories of solids, liquids, and gases. After we had gotten done laughing about the word 'gas' (its all very funny when you're six years old) we kinda looked at each other. And I guess we had what you could call a tiny little six-year-old epiphany. He sighed and said, "I can't believe we have twelve more years of this. It's TEN MORE YEARS till we can even drive!" And I said "Yea, I know...people say it goes by really fast, but...I don't think it will...do you?" We gave each other a look, and burst out laughing. "Nah," he said. "We're gonna be in elementary school FOREVER."
And now, Ford and I are both seniors in high school.
WHAT HAPPENED?????
When did I get so old? I mean, really. Right at this moment I am wearing a class ring and my senior shirt. My SENIOR SHIRT. Because I am a SENIOR.
A SENIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I totally cannot handle this....."
Now, if that's how I felt at the beginning of my senior year, imagine how I'm feeling NOW.
It's been a solid TWELVE YEARS since Ford and I sat on that floor making dumb little six-year-old jokes about gas.
I can't believe how fast time has gone by. If time was going the speed that I FELT it was going, I would still be somewhere in freshman year. It's going about four years too fast for me. I feel like life is one giant carousel. I just want to go up to someone and be like,
"Can you stop the ride, please?? It's going too fast and making me dizzy. I want to get off before I barf up my candied apple."
I just feel like highschool went so fast....UGH! And now all the Facebook statuses I see from my friends are along the lines of
"Moving out in five days! So excited!"
"Goodbyes are hard...."
"Wooooooooo!! Hello, College life!!!"
And I'm like...WAIT! WHERE ARE YOU ALL GOING?!? WE CAN'T BE THROUGH WITH HIGH SCHOOL YET!!! I'M NOT READY!!
And then I look around at all the bags and boxes packed in my bedroom and I realize, I'm in the exact same place they are. I'm moving out in less than a week.
For COLLEGE.
....Like......COLLEGE.
COLLEGE, WHERE I WILL BE ALONE WITHOUT MY PARENTS OR ANY OF MY HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS.
Not that I'm nervous or scared or anything....I mean, I'm EXCITED. It's just all so surreal to me. And I look back on that old post and I think....Dang girl, you don't even know...haha. Before you can take a breath they boot you out of school with a diploma and you just kinda stand there in your cap and gown, clueless as to what you're supposed to do. I mean, after twelve years of the same routine, you get used to it. And it's weird to think it won't BE that way anymore.
HOWEVER.
I have always been a big advocate for change. I keep saying to myself over and over, CHANGE IS GOOD.
So, with all that being said, I would like to close by saying that the adventure called high school might be over, but the EPIC sequel called COLLEGE is only just beginning. And I can't wait to see where it takes me.
Peace :)

525,600 Minutes.
8,765
The number of hours in a non-leap year.
2,920.
The average number of hours spent a year sleeping.
384.
The amount of hours a year the average person spends each year on the internet.
Geez.....it JUST occurred to me how much we waste time in our lives. Seriously, you guys. Think about it for a minute. How many hours a day do you think you spend texting? Or talking on the phone? Or laying around watching T.V? I know I spend more time doing those things than I should.
I know, I know. I can hear all of you now.
"Myra, shutup. Stop telling me how to live my life and share a funny anecdote with us. This type of post isn't your style. So get back to the jokes and funnyness, please. You're downing me here."
But I'm SERIOUS here. It just blows my mind how much time we waste. And it may seem all fun and junk now, but think about when you're old and your children (or even your grandchildren) ask you about what you were like in your youth, and what you spent your time doing. Is this really what you want to say to them?
"Um, well. I texted a lot. You would be proud of your ol' grandma. She was the fastest texter in three counties. And I can pretty much recite every episode of Degrassi EVER. And, uh, I was really good at, like, Facebook games and stuff. I had more achievements than all of my friends on YoVille. So yeah. I was pretty beast."
What grandkid is going to run to his or her little friends and brag about THAT??? I know I wouldn't.
I'm just saying, we should all be doing more productive things with our lives....not to get all serious on you guys, but our lives are precious gifts. And they're not meant to be wasted indoors watching tv, or staring at a computer screen. (She says as she writes in her blog.....hahaha. Irony at its best.)
So go out and DO something!! For goodness' sake, life is SHORT. I feel like I closed my eyes to blink in the third grade and when I opened them up again I was halfway done with Junior year. It's insane.
It goes by faster than we think. Give people a reason to remember your name when you're gone.
Anyway guys, I'm gonna go. Mostly because I'll feel like a total hypocrite if I sit at this computer any longer after berating YOU people for doing it.
Peace. :)

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, yeah. I've pretty much had an EPIC couple of days. Note the title- I feel lots of excess excitement about life to express lately. :)
Sigh. I really am looking forward to college (SEVEN MORE DAYS!!!!!!), but I'm going to miss summer....I'm going to miss hanging out with my best friends and just doing stupid stuff together.
Yesterday, for example. Me and two of my favorite people in the world decided that we were bored, so we were took an impromptu trip to Montgomery. Because if you can't find something to do there, you're pretty much screwed. We ended up going to the mall first (I had to get some stuff for my dorm from Earthbound) and then we went to East Chase. On the ride over there, we got onto the subject of guys (which is pretty much inevitable when you get two or more girls together) and I don't know about you guys, but with me it's kind of like this...I can be totally and completely over something that has made me mad in the past, but if I get to talking about it, I get angry all over again. So I was angry. And so were the two other girls with me. So we decided to let off steam by playing ridiculously loud music and screaming as loud as we possibly could. We were shouting so much and so loud it was hard to make out what each other was saying, but it was fun anyway. And extremely theraputic, I may add. Although a couple of people in the cars next to us did give us weird looks....
Anyway, we went to Books-A-Million, and ended up staying for like an hour. We just sat on the floor in the middle of the aisle reading random books. (On a side note, I was extremely aggravated because I was reading a Glee book and they TOTALLY got Puck's name wrong!!!! Who the hell is "Puck Puckerman!??!" NOAH Puckerman, people. NOAH!)
After that, we went to Petland. Because there are cute puppies. AND cute employees. Which is a spectacular combination. I also wanted to play with the ferrets, but one of them decided I looked tasty.
Ferrets are stupid.....
ANYWAY.
We played with a Siberian Husky puppy, which was lovely, and then we chatted with the extremely attractive guy who was her caretaker, which was even MORE lovely. And then on the way back to Wetumpka we argued over who he had looked at, talked to, smiled at more.....(IT WAS TOTALLY ME.)
To end the night, we parked at Goldstar Park and just talked about life. I LOVE those kind of talks. :) It was a fantastic night.
ANYWAY, I hate to cut this post short but I have some stuff to do....and as a wise person once said, "All great things must come to an end." :)
Peace, guys. :)

Why is it...
That I always feel the need to blog at ridiculously late hours??? Seriously, people. It's messing with my sleeping patterns. THIS IS NOT OKAY WITH ME!
Sorry. Sometimes I feel the random urge for capital letters.
I felt like that earlier as I was instant messaging my good friend Alex on facebook. We were being indignant that no one recognized how amazing we were and wishing pain upon all people who have treated us badly. the conversation went something like this. We were talking about two guys who have NOT treated us as we deserve to be treated.
Ahem.
Alex- "Faggotfaces......"
Me- "TOTAL faggotfaces. Faggotfaces that break girl's hearts and dont even care. GAH I HATE THOSE GUYS!!!!"
Alex- "ME TOO. If I ever have to deal with one again, it's gonna be on like donkey kong....wow. corny pickup lines are the best."
Me- ".....I HATE THOSE GUYS SO MUCH!!!!"
Alex - "ME TOO!!! THEY HAD THE BEST GIRLS EVER AND SCREWED IT UP!!!"
Me- "Best girls EVER!!! BECAUSE WE ARE THE SHIZ!!!!"
Alex- "YEAH!!! AND THEY THREW IT ALL AWAY FOR GOD KNOWS WHAT!!!"
Me- "I'll tell you what they threw it away for!!!! *NOTHING!!!* ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! UGHJFALNHVE;HVUAE

THATS HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW!!!!"
Alex- "AMEN SISTA!!!!.......Ewww. FAGGOTFACE IS ONLINE!!!"
Me- "UGH I HATE THAT KID!!!! I'M SO MAD RIGHT NOW AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY!!! I HATE EVERYTHING!!!"
Alex- "They better get BAD karma for this. I'll be mad if they don't."
Me- "Oh, I know. And I mean BAD. Like TESTICULAR CANCER bad!!!!"
It went on like this for a good half hour. And then we both felt much better about our lives.
Venting is good. :)
Anywayyyyy, I am sleepy. And tired. And exhausted. Also, I'm completely out of energy. So I think bed is a good idea right now. Yes. It's a great plan.
I will talk to you amigos tomorrow. Maybe. I'm counting on the fact that either something blog-worthy will happen, or I'll end up bored and blog for no reason.
