Photo Albums

So today I am sitting in the school library scanning pages from all of my photo albums just incase something happens we have a copy of all the pictures. Some of them are pretty amazing, so I figured I would share some of my childhood foolishness!

Some of them are rather amusing and have funny backstories, and others are just random things I enjoyed.
Back when I was cute :) haha



This one right here was taken in second grade. It was the first time I chopped my hair off and I was so nervous to go to the photographer, because I didn't know what to expect.

I remember I wore the necklace because it was my favorite one ever, not because it matched or anything. Then that night I went to bed still wearing it (despite having my mother tell me several times to never wear necklaces to bed) and it broke. I sobbed for hours. Daddy ended up fixing it for me, probably because he was sick of hearing me cry about my now broken favorite necklace.





Fat babies are the cutest babies!








I was a super chubby baby. My dad used to pretend I was a sumo wrestler and we would pretend to fight. I think it was his favorite pastime.












Yes. My parents dressed me as a boy for about
the first five or six years of my life… 





I vaguely remember this experience. My dad and I decided to go sledding one day and he put me on the sled and sent me down. Somewhere in the midst of the ride I went careening into a snow bank and face planted on the icy road. Not fun. I remember being really upset that Craig didn't feel any sympathy either… Then we went and built a giant snowman because that was probably much safer than riding a piece of plastic down a giant hill.










Well, that's all for now! I have to go pack to leave for Region Debate tomorrow.

Inner Monologue of My Sleep Cycle

So right now I am procrastinating away my time, money, and life. There is really no better way to put it than that. I know I need to be filling out scholarship stuff, doing chores, preparing for life after high school, but all I really want to do is take a nap. This is how my life has gone lately:

10:00 pm: Hmm… maybe I should go to bed now… Nahhh, I'll just scroll really quickly through Facebook and Pinterest really quick, then I'll go to bed. No harm done.

11:30 pm: Oh crap! It's so much later than I thought it was! I better go to bed right now.

12:00am: Finally fall asleep.

5:00 am: Do I really need a shower this morning? Yes, Aften, you are disgusting. Go get in the shower, but make it quick.

5:30am: If I fall back asleep right now I could probably get another 40 minutes of sleep!

5:40am: Fall asleep you idiot.

5:50am: Come on, it's really not that hard to sleep.

6:00am: Oh my heavens you stupid human being why won't you fall asleep!!??

6:05am: Finally fall asleep again.

6:10am: OH MY FREAKING GOSH YOU STUPID PERSON!! NOW YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP AGAIN!!!

From then on I am pretty much a zombie for the rest of the day and everyone thinks I am angry with them, but I'm really not. Well, maybe I am, depending on who it is. There are just some people you can't stand when your brain is fully functioning, but once it isn't they just trigger your inner serial killer…
