13 Things I Love. < 3

While there are a lot of things that I hate in life, there are also many things that I love. One of the things that I hate are people that only focus on the negative things in life, so in order to not sound like a complete hypocrite, I'll inform you of the things that I love as well. There are so many beautiful things in life that we over look or take for granted, so I'm going to tell you the things that I could never be more grateful for. In no particular order except for number one.

1.  My Family. Family should always come first. No matter how much we fight or how annoyed we get by each other. They are the ones that will always have your best interest at heart. My sisters and brothers mean the world to me. I know I can always count on every single one of them to be there for me and to make me smile. My parents are the best... well my theoretical ones are. My Biological ones have made me a stronger person, and no matter what I will always love them.

2. My Friends. Besides my family they are the ones I depend on the most. I have a few friends that have been with me for as long as I can remember. I also have a few friends that I've only met within the last year or two that mean more to me than you could possibly imagine. Friendship isn't about who you've known the longest, it's about who came into your life and never left.

And now on to the not so typical things.... don't judge me.... or do. I don't care.

3. Vinegar. I'll eat it on just about everything. Any kind of vegetable. Chicken, french fries, Ramen noodles, actually any kind of noodle..., fish, turkey, I could just keep going. I drink the stuff right out of a glass. It's so good, but so bad for you. The acid is eating a hole in my stomach, but I'll never stop drinking it. I love it. Yolo.

4. Netflix. I will spend days in my room watching all the movies on Netflix and HULU. I love watching movies. I like to memorize the good ones and I do a pretty good job at it too. It's just very relaxing, I also have it on when I'm doing homework because the background noise helps me focus.

5. When people are straight forward with you. Don't beat around the bush with anything. If you don't like me... don't pretend you do. That's two faced and annoying. If you have bad news tell me, don't sugar coat it. It's so much better in my eyes if you just come out and say what your thinking. I respect the people that can do that. It's refreshing.

6. Cheering. I love to cheer even though I'm not that good at it. It's a really good outlet. When I'm at cheering I don't have time to think about the out side world or my problems.  When I'm stunting I'm focused on the small person I'm holding above my head (who also happens to be my sister) and nothing else. When I'm doing a jump I'm focused on my motions and how high I can get my legs that's it. That's why I love it so much.

7. Singing in the shower. I'm not the best singer in the world. Believe me I'm no Whitney Gaudet! ;) But I do enjoy singing at the top of my lungs in the shower when no ones home or even when they are home. I don't care, it's just my family.

8. Alligators. They are my favorite animals in the whole world. I love them. I got way to excited when I went to Florida and got to see them. I don't know why I love them so much, I just do.

9. The beach. My favorite place to be is on the Ogunquit beach at night. All the people have moved up towards the town area over the little walking bridge and the beach is for the most part empty. It's completely empty on Monday nights when there's an open mike night at all the bars.That's when I like to go because there are no bare feet anywhere except my own in the sand. The rolling sound of the ocean is all you can hear and it's complete and utter bliss. It's perfect.

10.  My dog. My puppy's name is Kala and she's THE most adorable pooch in the world. Fact.

11. When people play with my hair. It's so relaxing to have my hair played with. I love it. It can put me right to sleep. I don't know, I just love it.

12. Long car rides. That's also something that relax's me. When I was little I was one of those kids you could just put in the backseat and drive around the block and I'd be out like a light by the time we got back to the house. It's a time to just think and look out the window or sings at the top of your lungs or just talk. Me and Sarra usually sing together or talk about our lives when we drive together. It's pure sister bonding time. <3

13. Blogging. Honestly I was a little skeptical of this assignment at first. I had no idea what I would blog about. But it's turned out to be really fun. I've really enjoyed doing it and trying to come up with cool ideas to blog about.

13 things I just HATE.

Something I bet you never knew about me unless you actually know me is that I hate about 99.9% of people. That's a pretty big percentage, but it's probably pretty accurate to be honest. There are also just a lot of things that I hate. Not just that people do or things about them or even people, just things in life. I won't go into everything that I hate, but I will inform you all of just a few. Let me know if you can relate.

1. I hate it when people say "It's always the last place you look...". Well of course it is. Why would I continue to look for something after I've found it? That's just stupid.

2. When you're walking by someone and they smile at you so you smile back and then they say "Sup?" or " how's it going?". Am I supposed stop and talk to them about what's "sup" or how it's going? Or do I just ignore the fact that they just asked me an actual question and continue to walk? Usually I throw a " I'm good" over my shoulder as I continue to walk away, but every single time that happens to me I have a little fight with myself inside about what to do.

3. People that think it looks cute to dip their face in a bowl of make-up and then show it off in public. Like no, there is no way anyone should look like plastic. Girls that do that are usually so obsessed with how they look and it bothers me. Like if you want to be pretty....take the make up off, you're probably beautiful with out it. If you want to weight less....I don't know maybe try scrapping the 5 lb of gunk off your face. There is not a single person in this world that need THAT much make up. This isn't a clown school, and you're not auditioning for Burlesque. Enough.

4.  I hate feet. Don't take this as an opportunity to come stick your disgusting toes in my generally living space, because I will shoot you. I hate them with a passion. They are disgusting and I don't want them near me. I don't like other peoples feet. My own are okay and if you have shoes and socks on I can handle it, but bare feet are disgusting and unacceptable anywhere but the beach. I just hate them. Ew.

5. I hate hateful people and bullies. I hate a lot of things but I'm not hateful. I don't like it when someone is straight up mean and they have no good reason for it. Like when someone is mean to someone that's different just because they can be. Why should someone else's life bother you that much that you feel the need to torment them? They aren't effecting you directly by being gay or transgender or even by having a disability. You just look like an douche bag. They don't get to choose to be any of those things. It's not a choice it's how they were born. Stop being so hateful.

6. Negative people. People that can just never seem to find the bright side of any situation. The kind of people that are always so full of negativity that it just makes me want to throw up. Like seriously, there is always a silver lining to every dark cloud even if you can't see it right away. If you put positive things out into he universe, positive things with happy and vise-versa. Wonder why bad things always happen to you? Maybe it's because that's all you see is the bad things.

7. I hate it when people play the "My Life is Worse" game. Like oh yeah? Your life sucks? Let me tell you about every single moderately bad thing that's every happened to me in my entire life and the game escalates so quickly. It's like "I stubbed my toe this morning" "Well, my dog committed suicide in my bath tub..." , but you see I didn't really need to know that I was just saying my toe hurts....

8. When people say "Can I ask you a question?" Well you didn't really give me  choice there now did ya?

9. How some people walk.... you know exactly what I'm talking about. Those guys that walk around with their pants down by their knees, so consequentially they walk like something is in their anus.Plot twist.... what I bet they don't know is that, that very trend started in an all men's prison and if you wore your pants like that it meant you were willing to have sex with another man. So thank you for the update gentlemen, I'll be sure to alert the media of your resent break out from the closet.

10. When people say "life's short", well actually sir/ma'm it's the longest thing anyone ever does. What can you possible do that is longer than life? Absolutely nothing. It's what you do with that time that should matter. Not how long it is or how short, but how they used their time.

11. Other drivers. I hate them. So much. If you don't know how to properly operate a vehicle please stay home or take a damn bus. There is no need for you to be a jerk and pull out in front of anyone, wait your turn. Also, some people need to learn what a effin' blinker is and how to use it. If you are under the influence of pure "Road Rage" you also probably shouldn't be driving. Actually you defiantly shouldn't be driving. Stay off the roads.

12. When other people try to tell you what to do with your relationship. Okay, so One- You're not me. Two- You're not me and Third- You're not ME. You're not in the relationship and I'm pretty sure when I agreed to be in it myself I didn't sign on for YOU too. Stay out of it. A relationship is usually only between two people ( unless your into having multiple mates, I don't judge), but if that's not the case. Keep your opinions and your prejudice to yourself unless asked otherwise.

13. Cheaters. I don't think I need to say anything about this one.

My boyfriend.

My best friend is like my other half. I met him last year in the weirdest way you could possibly meet someone. Yes, THE weirdest. Don't believe me? Well here it is. It was like the second week of school of my junior year. I was sitting in home room with Aly until Mrs. Morrison told us all to come to her homeroom because Mr. Morrison wouldn't be there that morning. So me and Aly moved across the hall to her room. We were a bunch of Juniors sitting in a Freshman homeroom, it was really only awkward because I only knew one of the freshman. It was getting pretty loud and everyone started talking at once, so I was looking around at all the little freshman and I noticed one in particular. He was sitting in the middle of the room in one of Mr.Morrison's "pregnant" chairs. He wasn't looking at me but then just out of nowhere he said and I quote: "It's so loud in this room I could say anything and no one would hear me.... I had sex with a donkey!". I couldn't believe what I had just heard. I stared at him until he finally looked over and saw me staring. He turned a whole new shade of red. He realized that I in fact had heard his little confession.

Weird, right? But that's our story and from that moment on we were pretty much inseparable. We became best friends right away, because we were so alike, except I had never had any kind of sexual relations with a donkey. We grew very close very fast. I told him everything and that's not something I just do, but I felt comfortable with him. He wasn't judgmental or rude, he was caring and a really good listener. He stayed by me through all my bad decisions and supported me in everything I did. He still does to this day, because he's just such a good boyfriend. Yup, I get to call my best friend my boyfriend. Although, that's always the best kind of relationship isn't it? I think so.He's been my rock and my favorite person to talk to. He's always there when I need to vent about anything.

We've never had a real fight. Whenever we are upset with the other we talk it out or we just take a few days and don't talk to each other. When you spend so much time with someone sometimes you just need a break. I understand that and it doesn't mean I love him any less. He's my best friend in the whole wide world and we will always be best friends above anything else. We've had our fair share of disagreement's, but that's all they've ever been, never really a fight. How could anyone be mad at Spencer? Like really.

This Saturday he participated in the Mr. Bucksport contest. He was the runner up and the first EVER sophomore to get runner up. I was so proud of him! He did really well and he enjoyed every second of it which is a really good thing. He had fun and that was the best part. He didn't do it just to get some money or for any kind of title, he did it to have fun. I'm so happy he did so well even though I was extremely embarrassed, but that's just how I am. I couldn't be more happy that he did it and had so much fun doing it. I really am very proud of him.





He's so cuuute. <3 How could you not love that face? ;) 
I miss him everyday.

Best Friends/ Cousins/ Sisters.

Sarra Jane Birdges. <3

We've been best friend sense day one. Your cousins will always be your first best friends. They're the first people your introduced to in life and the only ones that will truly understand how crazy your family is. Well that's how me and Sarra started out, as cousins. But even then we were super close cousins. We played so well together and spent a lot of time together at our Nana's house. But when some complications in my immediate family occurred I had to move in with with my Aunt and Uncle.

For the first few months we had to share a room and that put our relationship to the test. She is so OCD and such a neat freak, while I am the complete opposite. We both didn't really care for sharing our space though. We have NEVER had a real fight in the entire 17 years we've been together, but those few months I had to stay in her room with her was the closest we've ever come. But when i got my own room in the house we returned to being best friends again with no tension. I spent everyday with her so it was really hard to go back to live with my real parents and not see her all the time anymore.

Although soon enough I was back to live with her once again. This time indefinitely.

We may have never had a fight per say, but don't get me wrong we get frustrated with each other for sure. We have such different personalities and if we weren't family we would have never said two words to each other in a million years. That's such a weird thing to think about for me, that if we hadn't been born into the same family... we wouldn't even know each other because lets face it we're like night and day me and Sarra are. She strives for perfection while I pride myself on being average. But that's been the best part of living with her and getting to call her my little sister. We've been so good for each other. She's rubbed off on me and had such a big impact on me, and I don't mean to sound conceded or anything but I've rubbed off on her too. We've helped to bring out the best in each other.She went from being my little cousin to my little sister, but through it all she's always just been my best friend. I know I can tell her anything and she wont judge, ever. She's the best little sister in the whole wide world.




Me, Sarra, Lindsay, and Chantel all use to throw elaborate tea parties.... we were pretty much the coolest people ever. <3 Sister bonding.

 She's my favorite. <3


   Nerd day. Sarra's seriously in her natural state.
She's my best friend. Sorry there are a lot of pictures, but over the years we've taken over 10,000 pictures together and it's hard to just pick a few.

I'm a Cheerleader from Bow to Toe.

All I've ever wanted to do was Cheer. I use to watch the Bring It On movies as a little girl on repeat and  would dance in front of the TV trying to do what those girls did. Judge me. But I wanted to be on a team and compete! My senior year of cheering started just how it ended with 13 girls I couldn't be more proud of. Unlike last year it took us a while to really become a family, but towards the end we were really close.

During our 4 hour cheering practices on Saturday's. Yeah, I said it 4 HOURS on a SATURDAY! True story. We would have a 15 minute break half way through practice where all the girls could eat and relax. Tiffanie, Sarra, Sami and I were the only returning members from last year on the team. We would all sit in the middle of the cheering mats to eat and chat about things. The Freshman and one Sophomore would sit on the stage away from us. It was weird. The whole team had always sat on the mats to eat during Saturday practices. It was like a cheering tradition. We tried to get the girls to come over and sit with us, it didn't really work at first, but after a while they grew more comfortable with us. So we all sat on the mats together gossiping and laughing. That was a big step in us becoming not just a better team, but better friends.

Although what really made my senior year of cheering the best was my family! My little cheer family. They are actually my family too, but we've all become closer because of our love for the sport. I'm so thankful for my "Fab Four" Sarra, Sami, and Tiffanie. It's so sad that I'll never get to stand next to Tiffanie on the sidelines again. It was probably what I'll miss the most because she made me laugh so hard most nights that I cried. I would be laughing and then look over to get a disapproving look from our coach and try to pull it together only for Tiff to say something else and send me back into a fit of laughter. Those were the most amazing parts of my senior cheering.

Now the heartbreaking part. 1.7 points. That's all it took to make it so I would never get to preform on those ugly blue mats again. I wish I could have been out there to help my team, because I know we were good enough to go to States and do very well. For that I am so sorry. Seeing my fellow senior step off that mat and just start balling..... my heart shattered. But I know that Taylor (our beautiful angel) had other plans for us. We came in 7th. Her favorite number and that was her sign to us that she was there with us too. Thank you Taylor. 

*14 girls and our mascot Snuff*
I couldn't have asked for a better team to spend my last year of cheering with. <3

Sisterly Love.

This is my sister and while I know I probably talk way to much about her I don't care. She's my life line. She was my mother when I didn't have one. She is most defiantly THE most important person to me. I wouldn't be alive with out her. She has been there for me through everything. She's taught me that family is the most important thing in the world. That no one will ever have my back like she does. This summer was the first time I'd seen her in five years. I got to show her how much I'd grown and how good I was doing, because of her. We talked for hours on end about everything. I learned new things about her everyday, the good things and the bad things. How alike we are and how different.

She has always been my inspiration and my role model. Ever since I was a little girl I've always wanted to be just like her. She's so beautiful, smart and funny. That's all I ever heard, "Chantel is gorgeous! Chantel is so strong!" and I wanted to be as pretty and as strong as her. So, I worked so hard to be just like my sister. But after a while of doing that I was exhausted. I would never be my sister. So I decided to just be me instead, but that doesn't mean I don't still idolize her. I just know that I wont ever be her. 

I love my sister and my nieces with all my heart. My nieces are THE most adorable human beings in this entire universe. Bold statement I know, but I can back it up. My nieces keep up a family tradition. Of two girls that are very close, one with brown hair, one with blonde. Me and Sarra, Chantel and Lindsay, my aunt Crystal and my aunt Kathryn. It goes back forever. Precious has bleach blonde hair, while Hayden has brunette hair. They are like night and day. Although in my eyes they are just perfect. All I want is to just be a good aunt to them. I hope they think of me as a good aunt.

As sister I get that they are going to fight, but I hope more than anything that they will stay close forever. Precious takes such good care of her little sister and protects her just like Chantel did for me. Hayden is very small for her age because she has Russel Silver Disorder which has caused her to have pretty bad asthma. It's also effected her growth. While she is five years old she still resembles a two year old in height. It's so cute to watch them. Hayden will always tattle on her older sister, but Precious doesn't seem to mind at all. She takes it very well and its pretty impressive.
