So I just got back from school and I’m sitting on my black desk chair in my room, listening to absolutely no music, which is kind of making me feel uncomfortable so I’m gonna turn some on.

Free Falling - Tom Petty

Anyway. My mom came in a few minutes ago saying that she was concerned about me because I don’t have many girlfriends. I have WAY more guy friends than girl friends. Guys are just so much cooler. But that concerns her. So I have to convince her that I’m still normal and I’m not depressed and I have perfectly normal self-esteem.

I’m about to have a serious photo shoot. I’m gonna try on my prom dress and all my dance costumes and take pictures and post them up here :D So… I suppose you’ll see those in about half an hour.

Until then, stay cool.

Annie.

Ah, hello my good tumblr friends :)

I sit in my room listening to the Vitamin String Quartet’s cover of James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful” and wondering why on earth I left tumblr for so long. But I’m too lazy to dwell much on that subject.

So heres what has happened since I last posted.

• I became absolute best friends with a Mister Alex Tillman, the skinniest kid I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve known him all my life. Literally. We have pictures together when we were like, two feet high.
• Got asked to prom by Adam.
• Took swing with Adam.
• Bought my prom dress and shoes.
• Broke up with Adam.
• Lost my swing partner and my prom date.
• Kissed Alex.
• Alex felt bad that I had a prom dress and nowhere to wear it, and since neither of us are old enough to go to prom alone, he offered to take me to a fancy restaurant.

Yeah… I miss Adam sometimes now. He wasn’t expecting the break up at all, and so he was pretty distraught. All his friends hate me now because they think I left him for Alex. Adam knows I didn’t, or, I hope he does. We still talk sometimes.

But anyways. Alex is pretty durn sweet though and that makes it kind of worth it. And… he’s kind of in love with me a little. Example-

You make me feel like the world will never end,

Your spirit will keep me going for eternity,

If I can’t have a chance at you then I might die,

You are the most amazing thing that I have ever seen,

Not even god compares to you,

You overcome everything I have ever seen or heard of,

Its just too bad that I can’t tell you this at the moment,

Because if I could then I would tell you that your eyes shine like the ocean at sunrise,

You have no flaws that I can see,

Even if you did it doesn’t matter to me because,

Its your soul that matters and the way you act,

That makes me feel the way that I do about you,

Even if you never feel the way about me that I feel about you,

Then we go our separate ways and never see each other again,

I’ll always remember you and the way that you used to look like,

The way you smiled,

The way you looked at everything like there was hope all around you,

The way you walked, the way you talked,

Everything that attracted me to you back then,

I’ll still feel for a nuclear half life times infinity,

I’ll cry wishing that you hadn’t gone,

I’ll never forget you,

I’ll always remember you,

I’ll never forget you.

A poem he wrote me about a year ago. I had no idea until Christmas time, but apparently he has been in love with me for over three years.

So yeah. Thats my boy drama :)

Now photo time.

Alex, holding up the beginnings of a Tillman-esque homework drawing.

And another Alex, making a funny face.

And… lets let that be all for a while. I’ll put up the pictures of my prom dress and stuff later. And the shoooesssss :D

Ciao, amigos :)

Its starting to be Christmas time… I love it :) Heres a few things I’ve been noticing that are really making it feel like Christmas.

• I keep seeing commercials for good christmas gift ideas.
• The sky is starting to turn a wintery-color.
• Lots of shows on the food network are starting to talk about Christmas dishes.
• The fluffy jackets and slippers have been brought out of the closet :)
• The fireplace is going. It always casts that warm orangey glow that makes it feel like Christmas, especially at night.
• Some of our trees have lost their leaves. I like the way the bare branches look in the winter.
• Things are starting to get more peaceful.
• The Christmas lights are in the trees uptown.
• They’re playing Silver Bells in the cafeteria.
• I’ve started thinking about gifts I’m going to purchase for everyone :)
• And I’m excited, because this is the first year we’ll go out and buy a real tree in like, 3 years. I grew up with a real tree, and then we bought a fake tree a few years ago. But we don’t like it. So we’re gonna go buy a real one this year :) Man, I love decorating the tree.

If I were ever abducted by aliens, we’d be having a party in space.

Seriously. I would bake cupcakes and take them up with me on the spaceship. We could have a party. When I got back down to earth; “What did you do last night?”

“…I partied with the aliens.”
