this is my first blog of 2011, does that make it better then the rest?

lets make that 3 for Malaysia and 4 for Canada, plus a bunch of you from here, i am starting to feel popular (popular, i know about popular! if you can name that song you get 1 emilie point)

for this blog, i'm going to list things i don't like. why? because i can =]
1. acne, now really, i thought that this was something i was going to outgrow. but the worst, is black heads. ugh. for zits, i swear by toothpaste (leave it on until it just starts to burn then wash it off. your zit will be smaller or gone by the next day, but DO NOT leave it on for more then 10 minutes, you will burn off layers of skin.) but for black heads, i can find no cure...

2. the way i keep cutting my hair. i swear, every time i try to grow it out, i hit this point where i just want to chop it off. that is not happening this time. if i say ANYTHING about cutting it, hide all of my scissors, call every hair salon near me and tell them to turn me away and then wait like 2 days. i'll be over it. it WILL get long this time.

3. youth group hopping. i don't understand how you can go to 3 different youth groups, plus your church and feel like you're growing anywhere. aren't you too spread out to be able to grow?

4. people who whine and bitch about people whining and bitching. but if i really talk about this any, i'll be saying i don't like myself, so lets move on!

5. girls who say that hate that guys are always after one thing, but only give them that one thing to go after. make yourself worth more then a easy hook up and you'll find a good guy.

6. that person who is only you're friend when a)they want gossip b)they need a ride/money/food c)they have no one else to hang out with. really, if i'm your "best friend" you'll be around more

7. how people don't call each other any more. i remember having hours long conversations on the phone with friends/boys before texting became popular.

8. how facebook creates drama. "what? it's facebook official they got together/broke up?????
" if people are close to you and need to know, they should know from you, not the internet.


i think that's enough for now. i'm not in a bad mood or anything, just thought you'd all love to know!

you know, one more thing i hate. i'm ALWAYS early. 5 minutes. Matt Knapp, my youth pastor, always knows it's me walking in... i have to actually force myself to not be early or late. and sometimes, even when i'm trying to be late, i still end up there early. i guess it's better then always being late, but it annoys me sometimes as well.

also, i have habits that bug me, i paint my nails, then pick off the paint if i'm bored. i twirl my hair when i'm nervous or bored. when i get tired i pick off the mascara from my eyelashes. also, whenever i put on a shirt/dress/top i stick my arm down the neck before putting it on. there's no point to it at all and i have no clue where i picked it up from. but my mom pointed it out one day when i was trying things on.. i can't stop myself from doing it either. also, if i'm nervous about something, i clench my stomach really tight. until the point that it actually hurts and i can't eat. but it's really hard for me to relax it.
habits are odd things. and who knows why we pick them up? i can't recall when i started doing any of these things, not a clue. but i do, and it's really hard to stop doing any of them. i wish that it was easier to pick up some habits though. like putting down the junk food, or going to the gym, or picking up my bible. turning off the phone for a bit, getting offline. i don't understand why it's soooo easy to do something that's either useless or destructive, but so hard to pick up a good one.

if you have any answers for me, feel free to leave them in the comments, eiher about how to get rid of black heads, or pick up good habits. or a combo deal of the two would be nice.

random fact
i have a birth mark that covers almost my entire stomach. but most people can't see it, even if i point it out. because it covers so much.
until next time!

and because i felt this needed a picture.
what i got to wake up to for a month in Canada, eh (sorry, i had too. i actually came home with a tiny bit of a Canadian accent... ask my mom)
