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
-Yes I spent $98 on a sweater in May in Arizona but I look cute in it and it is soft
-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)
