I'm back!

Sorry it's been a while since I posted anything... I've been very busy doing important things. Like going on wonderful adventures and seeing the world through new eyes. Just kidding I've been watching movies and painting and sleeping.

I have been enjoying every second of this lazy start to Thanksgiving Break. 

So what's new? I'll tell you.

I've been trying to rearrange the paintings on my wall so I can fit a new, rather large painting on my wall. It's proving to be more stressful than I thought it would be. 

I am in the process of painting a deer skull (not as morbid or creepy as it sounds)

I have been enjoying hot drinks of all kinds... tea, coffee, hot chocolate, apple cider... It's one of the many perks of late fall. I love cold weather so much. A surprising amount of people have told me they hate the cold months because it makes them feel sad or unmotivated. I couldn't disagree more. Cold weather means sweaters and boots every day, hot drinks, and never shaving your legs (unless you have a boyfriend). Most importantly it's acceptable to wear pants every day. I don't like my legs very much... I'm not insecure about them or anything, I just don't like the way they look; so I wear long pants year-round (fun fact).


Here's my current dilemma...

I have two walls to fill:

And these paintings to fill them with:

So instead of trying to arrange them, I'm blogging. I have a feeling my walls will be unfinished for a while...

Have a happy Thanksgiving!

Research Paper Research Paper Research Paper

Please pray to the research paper gods to help me get through this terrible time. Or you could just pray to the normal God... Either is fine by me.

I've always been pretty bad about procrastinating, but I've never felt this much pressure before. There's just something about having to write a paper of any kind that makes me want to run away from it as fast as I can. I do not like to write (I say as I type yet another blog post) about topics that are assigned to me for a minimum number of pages. Even though my current research paper topic was one that I chose... But that's not my point right now. Do I even have a point right now? I don't think so. 

Anyways here are the knowns:
-I have a research paper to write
-It is due tonight at midnight
-I have 3 out of 5 pages written
-I have yet to include my sources in this paper
-I HAVE LOTS OF WORK TO DO

Well I guess I'm off to bed so I can at least get in a few hours of sleep before enduring a full day of typing.

Good.... Morning?

It's officially Saturday... and I was thinking

I love feather blankets. Oh my goodness they are so fabulous. It's basically impossible to feel uncomfortable when you have a feather blanket. Only downside is they make me sneeze incessantly. Very unfortunate. Sad. Makes Remi unhappy. Wow what am I even saying.

Another thing...I hate bad WiFi. So much. I was ever so peacefully trying to watch Gossip Girl (my latest obsession, I only talk about it all the time), when the wifi decided to go all wonky and mess up so the sound didn't match the picture. That makes me angry.

So here I am... unable to watch Gossip Girl and get all comfy with my favorite feather (actually I think it's down) blanket, writing about feather blankets and wifi. What a slammin' Friday night this has been. 

Sorry for the mini rant. I sincerely hope your Friday was better than mine.

To make things happy again, I found these really cute paintings on Tumblr. I'm thinking about transferring them to canvases and giving them as Christmas gifts.

I mean come on look how cute these are!! I'm in love.

It's The Little Things

I can honestly say today was the best day I've had in a while. Not that I've been having bad days or anything, but none of them have been anything special.

Things that went well today:

1. I got a 94 on my Phase 2 presentation for Senior Project! I know, you're probably thinking "That's nothing special..." and that may be true, but I have been stressing about that grade since last Friday. As a matter of fact, I checked out of school early Friday because I thought I did that terrible on that presentation and couldn't stop crying (sorry, I'm a child some times). So yay me!

2. I got to spend the evening with my dad and brother; just my dad and brother. We went out to dinner, then to Staples (wow so exciting), and then to TSYS to see my dad's work- he just got a new job so he wanted us to see where he's working now. Needless to say it was a nice time.

3. I FOUND THE MATCH TO TWO PAIRS OF MY FAVORITE SOCKS

4. I applied for a job at Chill. I've been talking about getting a job for a couple months now and I've yet to apply anywhere. Until today. Considering how unmotivated I am most of the time this was a big feat.

Okay... So my day wasn't super fabulous or anything, but you gotta admit, finding the match to two pairs of socks in one day is pretty impressive. 

Hi?

Wow what am I doing here?

Since I just love social networking so much (and I read Jessie's blog all the time and it looks pretty fun) I thought why not get another blog? I'm not really a writer and I don't like to elaborate on things, so maybe this will help me a little bit in those departments.

I guess I could start this off by introducing myself...

I'm a 17 year old senior in high school. I have absolutely no idea where I want to go to college or what I want to be, but if you ask me, "I want to go to Furman University and I want to be an orthodontist." I have a hard time actually listening to what people are saying to me and I get distracted easily (although I'm usually pretty good at hiding it). I love listening to music and painting, but I usually don't have time for the latter. I love wolves. And mountains. And the outdoors in general, but I don't travel all that much. My favorite song right now is I am the Lion King by Papa. I put the link to the video there in case you were wondering. Moving on. I have long red hair (that's not something I'm necessarily proud of, but my brother says that his friends know me as "the girl with long red hair," so there you have it). Alright, that's all I feel like writing for today.

Hi, I'm Remi. Nice to meet you.
