Randomness and Tidbits #3

Welcome to the third edition of Randomness and Tidbits, where what mostly happens is that I post a new batch of Taylor gifs and puns.

As you can see this is a blog with quality material. 

*HEART EYES*

Have I ever told you how much I love this?

Well, I really love this.

IN HONOR OF OCTOBER STARTING IN A FEW DAYS HERE ARE SOME GHOST FASHIONS SO ALL YOU READERS CAN GET PREPARED

THIS IS VITAL INFORMATION, PEOPLE

can you hear my tears

"at least I think I do!"

BRB JAMMING OUT FOREVER 

me

If I had a talking dog I would never shut up. Russell is me, I am him, we are one.

If you would ever like to learn more about me, google "nerd quirks". 

I think that's good for today. Stay tuned for your next dose of bad history jokes and nerd quirks.

Also, guess what?? It's almost the holidays, and the holidays mean those delicious holiday popcorn tins.

I cannot wait.

So long, farewell, adios and goodbye, 

Not Princess Leia

So, as I'm sure you've probably noticed, the blog has a new name.

If I'm being completely honest, I always kind of disliked the old name. I just felt like it was too long and it didn't make sense. Yesterday I finally decided it was time for a change.

This new name has got a story behind it. Every year on the first day of school, (and I'm not even lying about this) at least half of my teachers call me Leia. HALF. I feel like it's pretty obvious that my name is pronounced LEah, but apparently not. Anyway, that is always followed by remarks such as "Leia? Like the chick from Star Wars?"

No, not like the chick from Star Wars! Not Princess Leia!

I then have to tell my classmates this and then they're all disappointed because my name isn't nearly as cool as they thought it was.

It's really sad.

So, what do you think? I need opinions, people. If you hate it please let me know now so I won't be too embarassed for changing the entire name and look and everything and I can promptly change it back.

Have a marvelous day, peoples.

Eat some pizza for me.

IT'S NOT ALL TAYLOR SWIFT.

So, music is kind of important to me. I am currently killing myself for marching band, and whenever a teacher says we can listen to music, I'm the first one with earbuds in. This summer I branched out to some new artists and genres that I hadn't listened to before, and I decided I had to tell you guys about them.

#1 Ex's & Oh's- Elle King

DUDE.

I DO NOT KNOW WHAT MAKES ME LOVE THIS SO MUCH.

I CAN'T RELATE TO IT AT ALL.

IT'S AMAZING THOUGH

#2 Primadonna- Marina and The Diamonds

Gives me life, I tell you. 

Brilliant lyrics, brilliant beat.

Also it's really fun to sing along with in the mirror.

#3 Shut Up and Dance - Walk The Moon

Be quiet. It's a fun song, okay?

#4 Long Live- Taylor Swift

I LOVE THIS I LOVE IT I LOVE IT 

IT'S PERFECT

JUST. PERFECT.

#5 Word Crimes- Weird Al Yankovic

If you are constantly annoyed by people's grammar, then you need to watch this.

You will be significantly amused.

#6- Uma Thurman- Fall Out Boy

Why am I just now getting into this song?

Who knows?

What is this song actually about?

Who knows?

I could go on, but I'm pretty sure you don't want to listen to twenty-seven more songs. 

If you happen to want to heat those twenty-seven songs, PM on Google+ or something

GOODBYE MY LOVELY FRIENDS

AND HAPPY WEEKEND!

a letter to my younger self

Dear Leah, 

First off, your hair is awful. Not gonna sugarcoat it. 

It's kind of terrible. 

 You have not learned that your hair is too thick to be as short as it is. 

Just...no.

Grow it all out.

For the sake of me looking at those pictures in a few years, grow it out. 

Secondly, you're not a fashionista. I know you have big dreams of how a fashion designer in disguise will stumble across your designs when considering buying your house and offer to move you to paris to become his apprentice, but no. 

Sadly that never happens, and your sketches were not that great.

(except for a couple. i would wear some of those, actually.)

But please consider other career options.

Don't be afraid to be confident. Right now you're so scared of people judging you, and you have to hide behind a plastic personality. But it's okay to love Taylor Swift and Broadway musicals. It's okay that you like to read. It's okay that you actually enjoy art class. 

It okay to love whatever you want to.

Also, those "popular" girls you're absolutely terrified of? You'll never see any of them again. So just do whatever you want, because honestly, life is so much better when you like who you are.

Yes, it seems like none of your friends actually like you right now. But that's just not true. You're going to meet your best friend this summer, and it's all going to be okay. And the friends you supposedly hate you? You're going to get a lot closer to them, and they're actually kind of amazing people. Friends are so great, and again, you're just so scared that no one will like you that you just don't try.

Okay.

BOYS.

Yep, you think they're stupid now. And honestly, where you at, they are. But you either keep trying to impress every boy that crosses your path, or run away from them, terrified. 

NOPE.

Boys make some of the best friends ever. They will bring their Percy Jackson books to school for you to read. They will practice your band music with you. They will sometimes buy you cookies in the cafeteria.

And yep, some of them get really cute too.

So...just consider boys, okay? They get a lot better. 

One last thing real quick.

QUIT TRYING TOO HARD. 

You're not going to be the most popular person in school, probably. You won't be the vision of perfection that you want to happen so badly. Trust me, you'll be way happier with yourself.

Way happier.

Love, Your Future Self

My favorite thing about summer is that I can wake up at 11, have donuts for breakfast, and type up blog posts while listening to Marina And The Diamonds on YouTube.

Glory hallelujah. 

Hercules, while being a terrible representation of Greek mythology, is absolutely hilarious.

HAVE YOU GUYS HEARD OF BARBIE: LIFE IN THE DREAMHOUSE

 THIS SHOW IS HILARIOUS.

I mean:

Check it out sometime.

I think that'll do for today.

Have an amazing week and eat some cheese fries for me.

all about me

Lately I've been thinking, and I've realized that you guys really don't know a lot about me.

Sure, you know that I love Taylor Swift and the color pink, but you don't know me.

Well, this post is here to change that.

I felt like these were appropriate.

First and foremost, I am a Mormon and a Christian.

I know I wouldn't be one half the person I am today without my religion, and I am going to stand by it until the end. 

I can't really put into words how much it means to me.

If you want to know more about my religion, you can go to mormon.org.

I love it.

I'm allergic to peanuts. 

Yep, folks, I'm the annoying chick who always has to ask what's in the dessert at parties. I'm not take-one-whiff-and-I-have-to-go-to-the-hospital allergic, but it's pretty bad.

And no, I have never had to use an EpiPen.

Mostly when I have a reaction it's accidental, and I didn't eat much peanut butter. For those reactions, I just need Benadryl. If I go into shock, that's when it's time to break out the EpiPen.

Fun story, once one of my youth leaders said that if she ever got mad at me she would lock me in a room with only peanut butter, so the only thing I would be able to eat was the thing I was allergic to.

She was kidding.

I think.

i LOVE RAIN.

Thunderstorms, specifically, but any rain will do. 

I would go and dance in the rain if my mom would let me. I've jumped on our trampoline before in the pouring rain. Which is actually quite dangerous, now that I think about it. 

 NO REGRETS.

I could spend literally hours on Pinterest looking at ballgowns and dreaming up stories to go with them and imagining how I would look in them.

I plan to be married in a ballgown dress.

JUST LOOK AT ALL THAT SPARKLY MAGICALNESS

I wanted to be Cinderella as a child mostly because of her dress.

still do actually.

I know I've mentioned loving the classic Disney films somewhere, but I also adore Pixar. The humor is amazing and the animation is gorgeous and they make me cry even though I never cry during movies,

Just...don't ask me about movies...or we'll be here all day.......

That is it for this post, fellow countrymen, but FEAR NOT, because I'm thinking of continuing this as a series. Drop me a comment below and tell me what you thought of it.

And if someone tells you to not eat raw cookie dough, quit talking to them. You don't need that kind of negative influence in your life.
