A quote I think all teenagers could learn from.

"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to."

- Jim Jarmusch

I think a lot of the younger generation is having a hard time figuring out who they are and what is really important in life. We are all trying to create an identity; we are all trying to figure out what we believe, how we are going to live and what choices we we want to make. I think right now is harder than it's ever been for younger people. We are more aware of what is going on in the world around us and it's scary. The economy, war, etc. There have been a lot of changes in the world and I think we all just want to know that everything is going to be okay. I know that I wish I could see what the future is going to bring, but I can't. I just have to live my life the way I think is best for me and hope that everything works out okay. I know who I am, and I know what I believe. I think we all need to stop worrying about what everyone around us is doing and worry about ourselves. It's just like our teachers tell us, I don't want to know what your neighbor knows, I want to know what you know. It's true. We should be learning and growing for ourselves, not for anyone else.

Pretty Lazy Weekend.

It's the first of March. You know what that means? My birthday is in 25 days. Woo!


Well, this weekend aside from beauty school has been pretty lazy. I woke up at about 10 this morning and played gears of war with Steph and Kurt for a little bit. Now I'm just about to take a bath and make some lunch.

Stephanie isn't feeling too good. I went over to her house last night cause she really wasn't feeling good and then went to Isaac's Gears of War Graduation party. It was really fun. I kicked those boys' butts. hahaha. We ate pizza and had pop. It was a way fun night. :]

My mom called me today. They were at the racetrack in Vegas before the races started. I hope they're having fun. Maybe I'll have to go with them next year.

Well... Not to much going on besides that.


Oh, my arm however is feeling a lot better. My thumb still kinda hurts right in the ball of my palm, but I'm doing much better. Us Christensen's and our freakish left arms. hah.

D-O-N-E, Done.

That's right. I am officially done with high school.... FOREVER. Ahh. Big relief off my shoulders. It still hasn't fully hit me that I don't have to go back... I'm sure it will in a week or so.

I went to the doctor today, and they told me pretty much what I already knew. My muscles are really tight and they are putting a lot of pressure on my nerves. That's what is causing the shocks down my arm and to my thumb. My arm and thumb still really hurt when I do certain things. Hopefully it starts going away soon... I can't imagine trying to do hair like this.... Anyways, they gave me some muscle relaxers and some steroids. Hopefully that will make it feel better.

Well, Tyson, Stephanie, and I went to dinner tonight at Iggy's. Man, that is some good food. I got the All American burger and I must say, they put some gooood onions on that... at least that's what I think they were... Whatever they were, they were good. Mmm. Now we are just sitting in Tyson's room. I think we might watch a movie soon. I need to get to bed at a normal time though.

Wednesday's are boring.

So today was pretty boring... So I decided to write a blog.

Tomorrow is my last day of high school! I'm so excited. I turned in my paper today and now all I have left it to take my two finals tomorrow. Yay! It still hasn't hit me that I NEVER HAVE TO GO BACK! Haha. Anyway...

My thumb was numb all morning and now the numbness and pain has gone up to my wrist and now my upper arm by my shoulder. I think I might have a pinched nerve. (Geez, does this run in my family?) Soo yeah. Hopefully it starts to feel better because... I really don't want to go to the doctor and find out I need surgery or something. That would just be great. Ugh.

I really want to go to dinner tomorrow night with Stephanie and Tyson since we're parentless for 5 days. But for tonight, there is nothing to do. I think I'm going to go make dinner, watch a movie and get to bed early tonight. Haha. I practically fell asleep today in English.

That is all.

Meet My Sister

Yes, it's true.
I DO have a sister, and her name is Stephanie.
We finish each others' sentences and she knows all my secrets.

I could think of no better way to introduce you to her than through this video.

Enjoy.






Haha. Obviously she's not really my sister, but my parents always joke that she's their adopted daughter. I've known her for a little over a year, but we have grown so close in that time. I love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. She is the sister I never had. She listens to all my problems and I know she would do absolutely anything for me. This is a picture from one of our many road trips we've taken. :]

New Beginnings

Our family recently started a family blog and I decided to make my own personal blog. I'll try to post on both frequently, but I think I'm going to stick to this one more.

I guess I will just start with the basics.

I'm 17 years old and I go to Skyline High School, but not for long. My last day is Thursday. It feels so good to finally be done with high school. I think I was born a year late; I should have been done a year ago. Haha. After that I will start attending Vogue Beauty College full time. I started last June, and I should be finishing up in July or August. I love doing hair and nails, and it's been really fun there, but I still can't wait to graduate.

School is really pretty much the only thing going on in my life right now. Haha. But I'll try to add more when more exciting stuff comes up. :]
