Breakdown Remedy

I put my new jeans on and suddenly everything is right.

My jeans that cost $9.50, I may add.

So, today I was having a few emotional breakdowns about school, obviously, and Mr. Rye (my freaking awesome math teacher whom I love and adore, that I banter back and forth with on a daily basis) was going on with his usual poking fun at me, and was waiting for my appropriate response such as "Mr. Rye, I could take you", or "Come on, I'm your favorite student", or "Put the scissors down, it's not cool to play with those!" However, today, I was bouts' to snap. I was stressing out HARD and trying to do a reassessment, and he started the banter. This time I paused and said "Rye, one more word and I might cry. I'm on edge." And he replies "...........'I'm on the edge, of glory!' Come on Ali, that's funny! You're going to have Gaga stuck in your head all day nowwwww." Then tears fell. I laughed. He felt horrid. 

To break the awkwardness of him feeling like he ruined me, I began singing the Gaga song through my cries.

This, my friends, is how you handle breakdowns.

Take notes.

Don't leave kind behind!

What up, Earthlings?

Well I'll tell you what's up with me.

My day was, frankly, not that good. But I found out the reason. 

It is because I don't like when people are mean. I reeeeeally don't like it. 

I read an article about an anti-gay hate crime done in New Jersey. Now, I know that a lot of you reading this are all for gays getting no rights. Okay... Yep. Don't know why. Can't relate. So, I am very sorry if my HELL YEAH DUDE attitude about equality peeves you off a little, but don't worry, I won't judge your personality off of our differences. Because we are equals.... :) Anyhoo, I read this article about the man who outed his gay roommate all over the internet and led him to jump to his death off of the George Washington bridge. I don't believe there has been any words to describe the feeling I get in my stomach when I hear of things like this. But, to sum it up a bit, it gives me a small fraction of embarrassment to be a human being. Because that means I have similarities with people who are capable, and willing, to go to such extremes to hurt others.  #girlisfiredup

Also, today I saw a boy try to throw a younger, smaller, and sweeter boy in the trash can. Now first of all, I didn't think people like that were real. That's just dumb. And makes you look like you tried super hard to be clever and cruel, and straight copied from Grease and Boy Meets World. Second of all, the guy was tall enough to just climb out, so that's embarrassing for you, punk. Third of all, your maturity level was incredibly dropped, and you should have just stuck with calling him a 'dummy' and telling him to meet you in the parking lot at 3:00pm before your mom picked you up from school. So, to wrap that up, I wish that guy was more like a real person. 

In conclusion, be nice. If you cannot, seclude yourself and let your negative thoughts consume your mind. 

Live long and prosper.

Honey, i'm home!

I HAVE RETURNED! 

...I missed writing! 

So, for those of your who have asked about where my blog went / when I was going to start it back up (Mama and Michelle Tatko), here it is! I hope you enjoy it.

This time around, I am going to be able to document major changed in my life; graduating, summer shenanigans, and moving away. (My mom is crying at this point, I can tell...)

Bare with me, friends. We're in for a scary ride.

Quick debrief of my life since we last met:
- I now belong to the Western Washington University community :)
- I have two months until I graduate.
- I still haven't gotten my haircut (it's getting ridiculous, i've never cared about split ends, and I think that's because I thought that's how every hair was supposed to be...)
- I got an iPhone.
- I decided my main goal in life is to do good things for people.
- My coffee addiction remained constant.
- I got really into eyeshadow and liquid eyeliner.
- I learned how to put a cool swirl in my hair.
- I finally convinced my dad to change up my lunch every once in a while.

And so it keeps on keepin' on...
