Thoughts That Came Into My Head

Straight out of my Twitter Drafts
-She's like the human equivalent to capris
-If I had a dollar for every embarrassing thing I did I would have enough dollars to buy a time machine and redo that moment
-"You're cute! I would have thought you would have a boyfriend by now," I am kind of flattered but mostly insulted
-Sometimes all you can give is your all you feel
-WTF how does one be "confusing" and "hard to get" and "available" and "unavailable"
-I'm just a text first kinda gal
-Those smiles that make you weak in the knees wowza
-Craving the beach and tanned skin and late night cuddles always
-Do you ever see something that makes your heart cry tears of pure joy
-Happiness is attractive
-Caring goes a long way
-BUT "IRREPLACEABLE" BY BEYONCE IS MY JAM
-The truth always comes out :-)

Flip the Switch

Sometimes life kinda sucks, and I can buy a new outfit or two and I'm good. I put it past me. But sometimes life sucks like a lot, and Mercury is in Retrograde so basically the universe is throwing up on me and is here to rain on my parade. If I was a vampire, whenever Mercury is in Retrograde I would just flip my humanity switch and feel nothin- how nice would that be?! Yes you feel no happiness, but you feel no pain. You no longer feel the sting of a lost loved one, the broken heart of a breakup or the reddening cheeks of an embarrassing moment. Mercury was in Retrograde and it hit me hard for a while and metaphorically, I flipped my switch. I put all my sadness and anger and hurt aside- I shoved it under my bed and ignored any emotion. Then one day, a true pal said "kenz, you just don't seem happy anymore. There's sadness in your eyes," and that sparked something in me. I realized that I unwillingly flipped my switch, and it wasn't until today when I was rocking out to Katy Perry on my way to work that I realized my broken heart is now a scarred one! It's more beautiful because of the stories it has created. Anyway, so I got thinking of ways that I became me again aka how did I flip my humanity switch back on:
-singing in the car: before Mercury was in retrograde for me, I sang in the car all the time. Then bam it hit and that little spark of happiness than came from me belting lyrics was gone, I didn't feel the need to make myself happy. And then today as I was doing something as silly as singing, I am back ;-)
-asking how friends are doing: part of not feeling any emotion for yourself, is not feeling it for others- which sucks!!!! Part of turning my switch back on was focusing on the happiness of others. Now I sound all preachy and trust me this is not meaning to come off as that, because I had lots and lots of days where I was focused on me and my sadness, but the burden lifted a little as I reached out to others who are struggling.
-giving hugs: hugs are so important! I find that when my switch is on, when I am caring for others, I want to show affection for ones I care for. While Mercury was in retrograde I repelled emotion and affection and anything that showed I was human basically. Now, bring it on. The more hugs the better.

Why Boys Are Like Cupcakes

So today I was gawking at another new plush and soft and lovely Wildfox sweater when my stomach started to growl and I realized that well I was hungry. Now, I have been hungry for a good week or so because I cannot eat a full meal, but today was like really super bad because it was 4 o'clock and I hadn't eaten at all today, and not the kind of "not eat" where I had a Luna bar and a banana, the kind of not eat where I drank a half diet coke for breakfast and called it good. So, naturally, I darted downstairs to the E-Bar and on my treacherous journey down the escalator I was thinking of all of the lavish things I wanted to eat- when it hit me. A cupcake. I do not know why I wanted a cupcake because cupcakes are hard to eat and always have too much frosting but for some odd reason I craved the sugary mockery of a cake. However, as I reached the counter I was bummed to find out that the E-bar does not sell cupcakes, so needless to say I was pretty disappointed. So as I ordered my zuchinni bread (which actually is a lot better than one would assume) I was dwelling on this idea of dissapointment and cupcakes and high hopes when it hit me- BOYS ARE LIKE CUPCAKES. I had a clever tweet, but this idea just kept growing and growing faster, kind of like how army pants rapidly get cuter and cuter with time!!!! So, here it is-Why boys are like cupcakes:
-Cupcakes are so darn cute: and boys, unfortunately, are so darn cute. I wish that cute boys didn't make my heart beat fast, my speech stutter and my face go red but they do. 
-There are so many kinds of cupcakes: I mean you have every flavor imaginable (literally) and then you can get into brands, like you can go with the cute Fresh N Easy store brand, a nice Target cupcake, or the all envied Sprinkles cupcakes. Also, there are like a bajillion types of boys. We have the skater, the Mormon f boy, the "nice guys," the "imma yell offensive comments to cute girls at the mall to get their attention because they will look my way" boys and so many more. Just like we would all take a Sprinkles cupcake over the rest, we all want a boy that is the Sprinkles cupcake equivalence- right ladies?! The Sprinkles cupcake boy will text you first, he will tell you that you are cute, he will make your heart melt and weak in the knees because his smile will light up when he sees you, he will ask you questions about yourself and tickle your knee, he will ask you how you are doing. BIG S/O TO THE SPRINKLE CUPCAKES BOYS- YOU KEEP DOING YOU.
-Cupcakes are kind of a lesser version of a cake: Cupcakes are fun, but hard to eat and can get messy- like boys. Boys are immature and hurt girls so easy, which I feel like if cupcakes were humans they would do the same. Hence, cupcakes=boys while cakes=men. A cupcake boy will be fun for a good month or two, he will ask for that occasional hookup but you fall for it because he's cute (as previously mentioned) and probably a smooth talker. A cupcake boy is the kind of boy who asks if he can kiss you before he actually does, which is actually kind of awkward and a bit weird. While a cake man, hahah weird to say, will not ask for a hookup, he asks for a date. A cake man takes interest in what you have to say, he kisses girls in the moment when it feels right, and the cake man always wins.
In closing of my little rant, cupcakes are fun. They're cute in the moment and most usually make for a fun Instagram post, but in the long run we all want a cake. Because a cake has substance, a cake lasts, and a cake is the better deal.

Confessions

FEELIN' RISKY
And also a bit high because of Strep throat medicine, confessions:
-Freaking obsessed with new underwear and if you are a girl and you say that you are not then you're a big fat liar or something
-It's lame of people to put others down to lift themselves up, but we all do it and it feels good to do sometimes so oops

-I tweet a lot when I want a boy to notice me
-I buy myself flowers
-I currently have a half eaten half dozen of Krispey Kreme donuts sitting on my counter because when I get lonely I need companionship
-I can't stop listening to the Glee cover of "Isn't She Lovely"
-There's somethin about tall boys let me tell ya
-Being in a relationship is the coolest and I don't understand people who want to be single because hookups get old fast
-When I crush on someone I crush hard and it always ends in long tales of embarrassing stories
-Everytime "girl crush" comes on the radio I feel frozen inside and can't get myself to turn it off and I have to text Carson for backup
-Watch out this is a big one: GIRLS DO NOT LIKE IT WHEN GUYS PLAY HARD TO GET. Being unavailable is not appealing at all and makes girls feel insecure and back out

Things I Thought Would End

As I am making it almost four years through highschool, there are a lot of quirks and actions that I thought would end as I became a senior. So many things that little freshman me thought "When I am a senior, I won't have to worry about that," well SURPRISE little freshman me with my cuffed capris and bubble necklaces, embarrassing stuff doesn't cure with time. So many things I thought would end:
-Being nervous around cute boys (If I have a crush on a boy I still shriek an excited "HI" with an arm wave and walk away fast with my heart pounding out of my chest)
-Girls being mean to other girls to lift themselves up (Hahhaha girls suck)
-My obsession with the Jonas Brothers (I am proud to say I still, to this day, would pay some serious big bucks to see the three of them play their cute little hearts out on stage wow Joe Jonas ily let me love you)
-Friendships (I AM SO GLAD THIS ONE DIDN'T END because I just wow I don't know if I can express how greatful I am for good friends because they keep me at my own level of sanity)
-Boys not talking to girls (The movies lie! Boys do not make great gestures like in "The Notebook" or "Can't Buy Me Love" boys still kinda suck at showing emotion, they just get way cuter and make you weak in the knees more than you thought possible)
-Not having plans (Hahahahahhahahhaha so many nights where I have had NOTHING TO DO-alone and with friends)
-Not wanting school to end (Confession: I get really annoyed with lots of people but I loved highschool and as much as I hope they are NOT the best years of my life, I am so lucky to have so many memories and pictures and true friends who share kind words and love and their food)

Being Bored is Boring

I feel like this picture is 5000% too accurate. We all have been here, we all know how this feels. You are overwhelmed by all of your duties that you cannot even arrange a list, because you do not even know where to start! Like you start your homework, then BAM "you need to text a friend to check up" ok in the middle of that BAM "you need to run to the store to get treats for class tomorrow" ok you start the car BAM "also stop by the mall to get a graduation dress and while you're there get a birthday present and a graduation one too" ok cool almost there then BAM WHOOSH CUTE BOY TEXTS AND THE WHOLE WORLD STOPS and suddenly all those tabs are overpowered by a new window and you're like "Wow why can't I focus on anything else because  he looked so cute today I just want to melt into his arms and stay there and maybe definitely kiss him lots," I mean I have heard that boys minds cannot focus on one thing at a time, so if this is me on a daily basis my heart goes out to boys of this world!!! And while doing all of those fun tasks you also have to look good as hell so you can snapchat and look on point and desirable- duh.
So, instead of studying for my precalc exam and cleaning my room and ironing my clothes for work tomorrow I decide to vent about how overwhelmed I feel about being overwhelmed. But confession I love it because being bored is boring.

Thoughts That Came Into My Head

-Do you ever just look at people and think "you will really regret wearing that after highschool"
-I just don't get how you can go from caring so deeply about someone to feeling nothing as they walk by
-Oh cute army pants! How 2013 of you :-)
-If you're having a bad day I may not be able to fix it but I can tell you a lot of embarrassing stories involving me and a cute boy :-):-):-)
-Stoked
-I wish I had a boy to friendzone
-She hands out her kisses like I hand out candy during the holidays
-One day you will find someone who fills in your lows and someone who you fill in their lows and even if you're complete before its okay because it will feel good to be happy together
-I'm just confused because some people at school like 12 and others look like they work a 9-5 job and have a mortgage

Current State Of The Union

Do you ever see a cute boy and you're like hot dang how did I ever continue living my existence without seeing you everyday?! And then you realize oh shoot I gotta get a move on things because two is better than one and also summer is so much more fun with a crush to go on night adventures with and lay out all day with and just to be with. Just a little food for thought.
In:
-hugging boys taller than you and also boys that stress cute like oh shoot
-pomskis
-BEING A LOYAL FRIEND
-cowboy hats, beards, and strappy backpacks

Out:
-USING FANCY VOCABULARY TO MAKE YOU SOUND COOL WELL GUESS WHAT THE COMMON PEOPLE CANT UNDERSTAND YOU
-being fake to make people think you like them because guess what, being fake to someone is not helping their situation or yours 
-cute selfies because ugly ones are more fun
-doing homework (yet passing math is so so so in)

Project Kiss Before Graduation

We all have that one person, that has "it." That one person we just wanna kiss so good and hard and odds are you probably are never going to see that "it" person after graduation, so what better time to give it your all (while not being vulnerable please and thanks) and kiss that person than at graduation. Honestly, what have you got to loose. Now although I am the last person on this very pretty planet to ever give advice one should heed to, I have some thoughts on Do's and Don'ts for grad night kisses.
Do not kiss someone you legitimately want to date: Take this from homegirl here- surprise kisses are GREAT for a crush. Like just go up to someone and BAM plant one on them and run, its exhilarating and fun and flirty, but do not do that to someone you actually want to have a real shot with. For one, that person will see you as a "hit it and quit it" and also you will feel extremely embarrassed the next time you see them, so embarrassed that you won't even try to go in for that second kiss.
Do not kiss an ex: "We are just friends" "They won't think anything of it" "It was just a hookup" Guess what! Kissing is kind of a cool thing but it sucks in the way that it sparks emotion, so kissing an ex will either open the floodgates for you or for their emotions and no one wants to go back to a broken toy :///
Do not kiss someone who is dating someone: Too bad if your "it" person is taken, they aren't going to be dating them for forever and when they break up if they are still your "it" person then maybe a surprise graduation night kiss is not the right thing because they probably fall under the first issue, plus they are dating that person for a reason and aren't dating you for a reason so. 
---
Do kiss wisely: Please for all that is good in the world do not kiss someone that will ruin a friendship because guess what we all need friends in this world and this world would permanently suck without homies.
Do kiss and make it memorable: If you're gonna surprise kiss someone, you gotta do it with a bang. Like make a gesture out of it or I don't know- just get creative with it so you have a good story to come out of that moment.
Do kiss with good breathe: Self explanatory.

Not a Metaphor

Real Talk
A broken heart is not a metaphor hahah a broken heart is a physical feeling where you can feel your own body tearing apart. You feel yourself sinking, your body shuts down and want to feel no emotion. Because feeling numb is entirely better than hurting, and hurting and feeling the lowest of lows is so much more painful than the joy of the highest of highs. Feeling nothing would be awesome. You would be blessed. Yes you can claim that letting yourself be vulnerable let's you connect with someone more, but letting yourself be vulnerable is bull crap hahah. Letting yourself be vulnerable lets yourself feel hurt and pain and feel like you are less than the scum on the very bottom of this earth!!! Letting yourself be vulnerable hurts and no one likes being hurt. Ok cool trust someone entirely and give it your all and invest your full heart, but guess what people leave and it sucks. And it always hurts someone more and leaves a deeper cut. And sometimes those cuts heal into beautiful scars, but also sometimes those cuts don't heal and serve as a warning to not let yourself succumb to your emotions, because no one is watching out for our feelings so someone has got to do the dirty work here.

Current State of the Union

Lisi Harrison, do you know what you started? Your series "The Clique" sparked my interest in fashion, it made me want to read and more than anything it made me crave to be Massie Block. Massie Block is and forever will be queen in my book. Ok yes, she was a total brat and once paid a group of actresses to be her friends and follow her around, but every part of me still wanted to be her. In this little world of privileged preteens that Harrison created I was able to partake into a bit of that Massie-nastiness. I would create fantasies where a girl would be sassy to me-which, back then being sassy was having a crush on my crush- where I would say "(insert name) did I invite you to my BBQ? No? Then why are you all up in my grill?" As devilish as she was, Massie was fabulous and fun and everyone wanted to be her, even her readers.
Every night before bed, Massie would create a little "Current State of the Union" where she would provide what is "in" and "out." Often times her nemesis character, Claire, was on the out list, while things like "lip kissing Derrington" was on the "in" section. *Side note* One night my Papa and I were reading different books next to each other and I came across the line that reads "lip kissing Derrington" and my eyes bugged out and I tried to read as fast as my little eyes would hoping my papa would NOT look over and see that I, his precious little grand baby, was reading about something as uncomfortable and awesome as lip kissing. Much to my dismay, his eyes glanced over and I cringed as he read that line aloud and chuckled to himself. I was mortified, but it was also really funny of him so I got over it fast (which is not very Massie of me.) Anyway, she would make this list and say what was in and out according to her world and according to who and what made her blood boil. So, in a weak attempt to bring out my inner Massie, let's kick off the resurrection of the Current State of the Union.
In:
-Lip kissing
-Sending out graduation announcements to people you probably will not even pretend to know if you see them 3 days after graduation 
-Trying my darnedest hardest to be nice to everyone because guess what I only have to pretend that for T minus two weeks
-Blocking people on twitter
Out:
-Remembering a funny memory and wanting to tell the person you shared it with, but because of certain circumstances you indeed cannot share that funny moment
-Boys under 5"10 :-///
-Breaking up with someone because "missionaries can't have girlfriends"
-Bandeaus (Try a bralette, we sell them at Nordstrom both Free People and BP brand)

Thoughts That Came Into My Head

-Reality's gonna hit you in the head and the heart real hard and it's gonna hurt real bad
-I don't want you but I don't want you to be with anyone else
-All I'm asking for is someone to laugh at embarrassing moments with me and show me cute pictures of elephants
-It would be cool if deleting someone's number would delete them from your life
-I don't want you back but and I don't miss you but I miss how things were
-Tri fold grad accouncments are like "oh here's me and here's me again  and oh me one more time!"
-I wonder what it's like to be the ugly sister
-I hope all of those who peaked in highschool figure things out fast
-10 more days of real school aka 10 more days of pretending I like you all :-)

Let's Be Real

You know those days where you just feel flat out ugly. Like your outfit makes you look chunky, your hair is wack, and you feel like you are annoying every living creature that you come in contact with? Well, folks, Ive been there and know that feeling all too well. So sometimes, if you're feeling a bit blue, you can mope about it and wallow under your covers or you can read the quote "im prada youre nada" and there is a 99% chance you will feel cured of those blues.
