2.) a famous person i’ve been compared to
FLORENCE WELCH!! Because of my hair, my obsession with birdcages, and my ability to be either really quiet or really outspoken depending on how I'm feeling...
4.) the best thing that has happened to me this week.
Well most of today was pretty awesome. :) Brunch this morning with extended family after a family reunion last night....it wasn't perfect but I got to meet my 4 and 2 year old cousins. My best friend called me as I was driving home. I had to pull over so I could talk but we don't go to the same school anymore and it was lovely to hear her voice, even for only a few minutes. I went to a vigil for gun violence with some people from my church and I wasn't expecting much but I met this really cool boy. And I also don't have school tomorrow, so :)
6. how i’d spend ten thousand bucks.
One way plane ticket to the UK so I could go to a British university. I'd also really like a tattoo, but apparently they're a lot cheaper in America so I'd get one before I went.
8.) my last night out in detail.
Last night was my grandfather's 90th birthday celebration, aka the first part of the family reunion. We arrived 45 minutes late because I couldn't find my keys and then we had to park the car ourselves because my dad didn't trust the valet with the car because we still couldn't find the second key. So I came in before my parents and got to meet all of these people (well not really meet, but I haven't seen some since I was 5 and others since I was 8), including this really awesome South African dude who my 3rd cousin is dating. I gave a speech for my mom because she doesn't like public speaking but everyone expected her to but also because I wanted to :) and got some really good compliments. I talked about how I was so lucky that I didn't live across the country from my grandfather like some of these other people and how I've been able to spend weekends at his house and have him at my piano performances. There was nothing vegetarian on the entire menu but my uncle convinced the waiter to slip me some eggplant strata which was actually really good! We had cake...and my grandmother yelled "DON'T SPIT ON THE CAKE!" right as my grandpa was blowing out the candles. I got it on video because I was filming everyone singing "Happy Birthday" a few seconds before. And I tried some tea and tirimisu (both for the first time) which were amazing! I can't believe I've never had tea before. And that was it but it was awesome. :) (Sorry that was so long, but it said IN DETAIL so)
10. something i’ve lied about.
I've been keeping in touch with this person for the past 2 years. And 5ish months ago, she emailed to tell me that she would be in the DC area around the beginning of March. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity (she doesn't even live in this country) and the only days she would be available were on school nights so I didn't want to take any chances. I told my parents I was going to be at a friend's house working on a lab report and that we'd go out to dinner afterwards. We did actually go out to dinner but no other part of that story was accurate. I picked her up from the Metro, we went to dinner, and I drove her back. On Sunday, March 3, 2013 and it was also one of the best nights of my life. I'd never told a lie on such a big scale and she convinced me that I should tell my parents. So long story short, I did, but not the entire truth. I still haven't mentioned that her boyfriend also came along, or that I'd been planning this for more than a few days. Even with that watered down version of the story, I got the car taken away until today actually, 6 weeks later. But this person did help me overcome my depression and self harm last year and to be honest I never thought I'd see her again, so it was 100% worth it.
12. something i’m currently worrying about.
My homework situation for this weekend because I haven't done anything, it's 9:43pm on a Sunday, I have one day left to do everything, and I'm here on the Internet. Also the fact that I'm supposed to perform in 2 weeks and I haven't practiced in the longest time because I've been so busy with science fair and everything else.
14. something i do without realising.
I talk to myself when I'm alone. A LOT. And in a mixture of first, second, and third person depending how tired I am....it kind of scares me. Maybe because it's because I'm lonely and an extroverted only child, meaning I hate being alone for more than a few hours yet I'm by myself more than nearly anyone else I know.
I have never actually been drunk because I'm such a good little girl (alright letsbehonestnow no I'm not) BUT last Christmas I was in DC at my 2nd cousin's house for dinner. And it was all adults and I was bored so I decided to go walk down the see the Capitol Christmas Tree. I got lost and ended up at the Eastern Market (just FYI it's really dodgy..you DO NOT want to be there at night by yourself. I turned and RAN all the way back.) Anyway by the time I got back to the apartment it was later than I'd expected so everyone else was halfway through dessert. I came in and was told to "GO GRAB SOMETHING AND BRING IT BACK DOWNSTAIRS". I took lots of what I thought was apple cake and vanilla ice cream but was actually Christmas pudding and hard sauce. Both of which had tons of brandy in it, and both of which I'd finished by the time someone thought to inform me of what they really were. So yeah.
And this morning I had my first 3 sips of champagne, aka my first actual alcoholic beverage. But then my parents LEFT TO GO HOME WITHOUT ME and it wasn't that big of a deal because we'd come in different cars and I have my license and everything, besides it'd only been 3 sips, but I wasn't very happy when I got home.
18. post a picture of myself.
This was me at the gun vigil today (and no I don't always wear nothing but black)

22. 5 things i want to change.
My location (FUCK VIRGINIA OK)
The fact that Leslie Knope is a fictional character
The fact that I CAN'T EVEN GET IB CREDIT IN THE UK WHATTT
24. someone i’d like to be for a day and why.
ISA SUMMERS. She gets to hang around Florence all day and she's also a pianist/keyboardist BUT FOR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE INSTEAD OF FOR HER MOM'S EARTH DAY CHURCH SERVICE. (But she's in LA right now and therefore not with Flo at the moment...that kind of sucks)
I was 14 and it was January 2011 at a friend's 16th birthday party. This guy had kind of been flirting with me all night and he left at 10pm, which was only halfway through. So he gave me his phone number and KISSED ME. It was AMAZING and I'm so happy I actually have a decent first kiss story because I've heard some others which SUCK. But then I invited him to a Superbowl party a few weeks later and my parents found out about his grades and decided they didn't like him so I texted him a few times after that and then never saw/spoke to him again. In retrospect he was 17 and wasn't worth my time AT ALL.
