im no genius but i know THAT wasn't smart

let me be the first to admit, i am not the smartest person on the planet.
i bet everyone has done some stuff that they haven't really thought out completely and it came back to bite them where it really hurts... but you always have to remember one thing when that happens. even though it sounds cliche, you cant just allow yourself to wallow in self-pity! thats disrespectful to yourself and to everyone who wants to see you happy!

top 10 things to do when u have a case of the 'moodies'
1. call a good friend. don't talk about things that will make you feel worse, catch up on the latest plans for the weekend, plan an impossibly big party!

2. do something fun! ice skate, finger paint, bake a pie! when you feel good about something you've made, you take your focus off of things that dont make you so happy

3. go do something physical! it's almost impossible to focus on running or weight lifting and hang onto a bad mood at the same time, the more you push yourself in one direction, the harder it is to do the other

4. dress up! put on a nice shirt, maybe iron a pair of your nicer looking jeans... just rock your look. when you look good, it helps you feel good.

5. watch something funny. i mean truly funny. like... demetri martin or dane cook or finesse mitchell... when you're crying tears of joy from laughing, you can't be unhappy.

6. do something strange. jump off of the swings, make a video of yourself pretending to be an old man, eat pizza upside down, jump on your bed. when you have less time to think about what you're doing, you have to do things you normally wouldn't

7. hug someone. hug your mom or dad, smother your little sister or brother, snuggle with your puppy! dogs always understand, no matter how stupid your problem sounds, they always are on your side.

8. have a tea party. a really good one, where you use the good china and make 'biscuts'. they're therapeutic and when you're obsessing over making your napkins fold evenly, you cant think of anything else

9. find your I-Spy or Where's Waldo? books. they're fun and sometimes you find things you wouldve never found otherwise

10. make an interperative dance. this is the MOST hilarious thing to do in the history of forever! create your own version of sign language and act out a song!


(i do not take responsibility if someone gets hurt while being stupid and/or trying one of these steps. if you do get hurt, let someone soul-kiss it. it works)

best of luck, Zoe b

stay sweet

thoughts on random stuff

what are blogs supposed to be about? i really have NO idea...
sorry about that. i dont think anyone reads these anyway lol but that's completely okay because i wouldn't read them if i was you. it's a complete waste of time. I am listening to Owl City right now. they are pretty BA (like all the other bands i like) and i'm singing along! "LALALLALAAAAAA" haha. no.

i drank a whole gallon of 'Guava/Mango Fruit Drink'. it was quite delicious. I also like to eat granola, especially the kind with chocolate in it. I like pretty much everything with chocolate in it. Last night, i was having trouble sleeping because i would stop breathing. it was kinda scary 'cause my toes would start to tingle and i'd wake up.

I was watching Vh1's 40 stupidest celeb quotes and evidently, Al Gore said "a zebra doesn't change it's spots" when he was trying to convince people to not vote for Bush in the 2000 election. how dumb do you have to be to think ZEBRAS have SPOTS??!! my 3 year old cousin knows zebras have stripes!! wow mister Gore, I sure am happy you didn't become President.

being a musician

sometimes there's just not enough words to describe the intensity of some emotion, some ridiculously vivid experience. that's when we writers write, we musicians make music, we vocalists, sing.
"has there ever been a love like mine? has there ever been something so strong, unrecognized? has there ever been a love like mine, so unrequited?" (fox elipsus)

yeah, there probably is. btu seriously? you think that's a good excuse?

get out of my sight

secrets

sectrets dont make friends and friends dont keep heart-breaking, goal-shattering, life-altering secrets from their other friends and then stab them right in the back.

no. im not happy.
