Helloo Again! Update!

I have now successfully finished my high school career and have time to blog. Let's see...last off I was excited about Snoball...it was a loverly night with lots of creepy dancing and a sleepover afterward which = snacks and me falling asleep during a Heath Ledger movie. Anyways, events after Snoball were prom, which was interesting. (Sugar has her paw on my leg as if to say, 'don't forget I'm here Sister') I went with a guy from my class and it was ok, better than last year's prom anyway. After that, graduation! It was exciting, and anyone who's reading this was probably there. The ceremony was somewhat tedious, but it was super amazing once it was all over. After that, I had a fun party with too much food. And now for summer. We got a swimming pool, which means that I now have a tan thanks to a succession of severe sunburns. I've lost close to twenty pounds since school got out and have a job as a waitress! I've been making some killer tips even though the job is not very fun. But it's ok, I need money to make payments on a new car (which I haven't gotten yet but will soon) and I need to save some cash so I don't have to work my butt off plus study during this coming semester. We also went on a family vacation to California, which was pretty much the best experience of my life and coming home to Kansas was beyond disappointing. To see pictures, here's a link to my facebook album: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/album.php?aid=90511&id=590363574&ref=mf you'll have to sign in and have your own account on facebook etc...but there are quite a few and would take forever to put on here. So pretty much, this was just confirmation once again that I'm alive. I'm currently watching the Young and the Restless, and am going to a rodeo tonight! Dang Sugar looks cute and fuzzy. She's accquired a new hobby- swimming in our pool. She's quite talented and also quite speedy and looks like a little otter when she's paddling all over. It's the cutest thing I've ever seen...will have to post a video of this when I can catch it on film. Sugar also has a dog bikini with a hole for her tail and everything. Hahahahahahahahaha so anyways, better go,
Much love and awkward hugs!
Ciara!

Update: Guess what! I'm alive!

Ok so this is pretty much the busiest year of high school ever. I got to skip most of school today to go get interviewed for a scholarship and it was quite stressful. Everybody kept calling me Clara even though I told the guy who came and got me otherwise. And then the place where the interviews took place is where art from high schools in surrounding areas is displayed and my self-portrait was hanging up. Which would be great, except the tag by it said it was drawn by 'Ciava.' And now of course my smartaleck father has been calling me Ciava all day. To be quite honest, it's fairly disconcerting. So anyway...I'm very excited to graduate, and then my plan is to become America's Next Top Model. Which will be exciting. I will be the palest Top Model with the least muscle! Yes! And...I'll live in a phone booth in Belgium and live on coffee and envelope glue. Snoball, the winter dance at school is on Saturdaaay! That means I get to spend the whole day making myself bootiful and then cinch up in my big poofy dress and go! This year I'm very excited because I do not have a male date. Instead, I'm going with three of my female friends. I'm really glad. I feel like this is the year where I don't feel the need to have a boyfriend to complete my life because I know now that I'm truly perfection embodied. Ha ha but actually I'm just excited to have fun this year and not worry about impressing anybody. There will of course be a sleepover and I will let myself eat like a piggy because I've been eating healthy crap and exercising my butt off- literally. I'm berry happy! Sugar is giving me a lot of attitude today. She's laying on my feet-which is good because she's very warm-and looking back at me with a really sassy look on her face. She's so dang cute I could just eat her paws. So that's my own personal update. I'm gonna go because to be quite honest I have nothing else to say.
Much love and awkward hugs!
Ciara!

New Year!

So this is gonna be a very good year. Because last year sucked. I'm starting 2009 with no boyfriend and no zits, and I've also gotten rid of my stalker from a couple weeks ago. Also, this year I'll graduate high school and instead of going to college I think I'll just go to California and try to become an actress in independent films that may or may not become revolutionary films like Napoleon Dynamite. And...that's my plan. But I don't do New Year's resolutions anymore...I never keep them. Plus, I'm always trying to make myself better anyway, which is pretty much impossible since I'm the closest thing to a perfect human being there is. (Note that I am only vain for humorous purposes and not in sincerity) I'm also excited about a new semester of school, since I dropped two classes and am entering two others. For fifth hour, I'm done with my semester-long virtual college course, which I wasn't too impressed with. This semester, I'll be doing journalism and helping out with yearbook, which should be right up my alley. Then for seventh hour I dropped parenting, which in the second semester would have gone on to cooking, which I hate doing at school, and I'll be a student aid thing to one of the English teachers (the one I don't have issues with) and help her out. I think it'll be good for me since I'm going to be an English teacher, that is, if I don't change my mind. I'm going into college with that goal, but I think if I find something I like better I'll keep my mind open. They're pretty much paying me to go there anyway ha ha. Aaaand...don't have a lot else to say. I wish I lived somewhere with big forests so I could go hiking and keep in shape in a way I think is actually fun but since I live in Kansas I guess I'll stick to being an unmotivated flab-bucket. If I had a New Year's resolution that it would be to that effect, but I know I wouldn't stick to it, so....*sigh* Well...I'm watching Ghost Hunters and I really need to run to the ladies room, so I should sign off- once again,
Much love and awkward hugs!!
