That last post was symbolic of my Justin Bieber phase.
Because in the time between that post and this one I decided to just let the unavoidable wash over me so I could get over it quickly and move on with my life.
But there's no denying I had it. The Bieber Fever.
I categorize my life in phases, they're just part of who I am. I obsess. But sometimes I am more willing to obsess than others. I was reluctant to be a belieber. But I learned I just have to accept who I am, and hopefully it will be over soon.
And it was. Don't get me wrong, I still love the Biebs...but I am still a healthy human being. I can't say that about all Bieber fans.
Thankfully, the only thing remaining from that phase was an awesome t-shirt, some good memories with friends, songs to listen to in the car, and this video of me playing the harmonica.
PS: I'M GOING TO COLLEGE. but more on that later.

Why Justin Bieber is a classy "man."
I might just be posting this so I can stop looking at my grosso pock-face...but here comes the Bieber talk.
Say what you will about his music, but this is adorbs.
In case you missed it, there was a viral youtube video of a 3 year old girl crying
Anyway,Jimmy Kimmel saw this video, and got J Biebs himself to come surprise the little girl
The whole thing gave me the warm fuzzies. But if you have still have no reason to love Justin Bieber, you have to give him props for being a class act: He sent their whole family to Disneyland. DISNEYLAND! That is a good man right there...a good. man.
boy.

Thoughts on chicken pox.
I know it's been infinity since I posted last. But I have a valid excuse. The most valid excuse I've ever heard, which is that I had the chicken pox.
I suggest that small children, pregnant women, and the elderly stop reading immediately. What you are about to see is of a very graphic nature, and may cause vomiting. But...I still think they're cool. And unless your name is Julie or Maggie, just be thankful you didn't have to see them in real life.
Me, later on in the week, on the mend.
My forehead is one of the places that got it worst.
I call this hairstyle taking a bath then sleeping on wet hair nine times in a row. I couldn't get it to look that awesome if I tried.
Chicken pox in your mouth and down your throat= no bueno. It was awful. I had this awesome mouth numbing medicine, though, that worked wonders.
My ugly chicken-pocked face
Because my parents were in the happiest place on earth while I was in the unhappiest place on earth (chickenpoxland) I really got to see how many people cared about me. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame my parents at all, I told them not to come home. I would have felt awful if they came home early because of me. Side note, they did come home a few days early after all, and promptly got the flu. Bummer times.
Anyway, I never for one minute felt like I wasn't taken care of. My young womens leader picked up my prescriptions, even though she had to leave them on my doorstep because she had never had chicken pox before. My sister brought me dinner and plenty of Scrubs to watch. Maggie came and kept me company. I got a few phone calls from people too far away to visit, and talked to Andy for hours at a time. So that, combined with probably a full 24 hours of sitting in the bath, 30 hours of watching Scrubs, and 10 hours of Spongebob, and the worst of my chicken pox was over.
Still, it was pretty horrible. I missed the last week of the term, causing frightening amounts of stress. It was lonely without anyone in the house, and limited visitors. And, on the most part, chicken pox just blow. But, I'm grateful to have them now so I don't have to be worried when my kids have chicken pox.
For now, I'm just concentrating on getting back in the game, which has been a full time job. I think I'm mostly caught up, though, which is nice. Now it's just smooth sailing for the rest of the semester until (gulp) college. Looking forward to it.

Happy Birthday, Julie!
It's my sister's birthday today! Happy Birthday, Julie! Unfortunately, she was sick all day with the stomach flu :( such a bummer, especially on her birthday! But, because of that unfortunate event, I got to watch the cutest baby in the whole entire world! My nephew, Holden. Because I'm practicing my photography, I decided to practice on him, and I was actually pretty successful! Here are some of the best ones:
Happy birthday, Julie!! Thanks for having the cutest baby in the entire world! I hope you feel better!

Confused, PUZZLEd, and in a daze
Please excuse the nbb reference, but you gotta love it.
This Christmas break has been awesome for many reasons, but probably the biggest one is having family around!! Different siblings have been coming in and out, and it has been nothing short of a party.
Yesterday and today Cami and Ethan have been over. Sledding, watching of Modern Family, and puzzle putting together ensued.
Cami is a puzzle genius, while I have never successfully finished an entire puzzle. But she got a Harry Potter puzzle for Christmas, so I just couldn't resist. With determination, team-work (mostly cami-work), and a love of HP, we made this masterpiece!!!
It has been a blast! and I am so proud of us for finishing that thing!
Happy Winter, everyone!

New Look!
So, I re did my blog in hopes of being re-inspired. It's actually working pretty well. I'm also digging it's new name, seeing as my blog my life in a nut shell, as well as a look into my mind, which could be considered a nutshell, seeing as I am insane. Clever, eh?
Song of the week? An oldie, but a goodie. The Lovin' Spoonful's "Daydream." Been stuck in my head nonstop. But I love it. Look it up, I'm too lazy to post a link.
Also, I love winter break. And Jeopardy.

Since it's christmas, let's be glad
Merry Christmas, everyone!! I absolutely love the holiday season. From listening to Christmas music, to looking at the lights, to drinking the hot cocoa, to getting the perfect gift, to giving the perfect gift, Christmas makes me happy!!
I found this Christmas was a themed Christmas, and whatever I gave someone, they seemed to give me something along the same lines. I gave Maggie a tissue box holder decorated with different actors (including james franco) and she gave me a james franco pillow case! I gave Erin mustache bandages, she gave me a mustache bobby pin! I gave my dad a statue of the Jep stands the contestants play in, and he got me Jeopardy question of the day calender. It was great.
More than getting gifts (which I love) I LOVE getting people the right gift!! There is nothing I love more than seeing people's faces when they open a present that was picked out with love.
But seriously. I also love getting gifts. This year I got a lot of things I know I am going to LOVEEEE for a long time.
1. My PENGUIN PILLOW PET!!!! Erin's got one for her Guadalupe buddy, and I was SOO jealous. My mo--SANTA got me it last minute, when I didn't think she was going to. I love him. (The penguin. And her. My mom.)
2. I had Hermione's wand, which has made me very happy, but I just couldn't deny that it didn't feel right. It wasn't truly my wand. So I sold it to my Hemione-ish friend Courtney, and for Christmas I got GINNY'S WAND! I could practically see the light shining and the wind blow in my face. It was made for me.
3. You'll remember from my last post my new desire to become a professional face painter?? Well, my dream is coming true!! I got an amazing face paint kit, and I was able to go over to the Archibalds' house and get plenty of practice. (They all wanted one on both cheeks and their foreheads!) I love those kids.
4. Andy got me an awesome HP calender, and an HP tee shirt. He knows me too well.
5. Like I said, My dad got me an AWESOME Jepeordy calendar that I am SO excited to use.
6. Gifts cards for itunes! (from my parents) and Barnes and Noble (from my g-ma!) I am so excited to use both of them. I love new music and books!! WOO!
LOTS OF OTHER STUFF THAT I LOVE AND THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR GIVING ME STUFF AND I LOVE YOU AND YOU'RE THE BEST!!!!
K bye. Here's Sufjan. And an AWESOME video that I wish I had made. Watch it. Watch it now.
