everybody knows that you break your neck to keep your chin up

So I just typed up this huge, long post about.. stuff. I felt like I was rambling, and I couldn't even form the right sentences to make my brain make sense.

And this is super nerdy, but I sort of wish that Harry Potter was a real life thing, because I want one of those pensive things. I can't scoop "life" into a box and unpack it whenever I want to. And the lame thing about me is that my memory is about as good as nothing.

Sometimes, there's a moment, and you want to keep it forever. It's one of those happy/sad things, because you're so happy to be in that moment, but you're quickly realizing that the moment will eventually cease to exist, and that's that. You can try and recreate those feelings, and you can even describe them fairly well to those around you, but you can't MAKE them feel what you felt for the same reasons that you ever felt them.

PHEW.

But sometimes there are gross, sticky feelings in your stomach that make you want to vomit all of your thoughts and thinks... along with any leftover food that might be in there... And sometimes you want other people to do that with you, so you don't feel so alone. (RIGHT? Please affirm me.)

You know, because sometimes life doesn't seem fair. It doesn't even necessarily have to be unfair toward you-- because sometimes, horrible things happen to OTHER people, and you don't know how to handle it.

Sometimes these situations make you want to give the world a good shaking. And sometimes you want to yell at God because you don't understand why bad things happen to good people... and normal people, for that matter.

And yeah, you can acknowledge all of the typical answers to your deep, philosophical thoughts, but that's simply not enough.

So maybe, if you're like me, you put together a playlist that maybe expresses those inexpressible thoughts in a way that makes you feel like you're perhaps feeling the right things at the right time about the horrible things that you can do nothing about.

I'm kreativ.

Thanks for the tagging, Schmames. It's nice to have a little blogging recognition every now and then, right?  Well... in case you were dying to know more about me, this is your lucky day. Here are ten more, semi- random facts about me.

(Side note: kreativ? really? That spelling bothers me.)

1. My birth parents named me Brooke Meredithe, and my adoptive parents named me Elizabeth Anne. I wouldn't mind using Meredithe as a first/middle name for one of my future kids. I think it's a really pretty name.

2. I got the name "Liz Lemon" from the main character of "30 Rock." My friend Kara changed my facebook name to "Liz Lemon" one summer and I left it up for a long time.  Some people still call me "Lemon." There were even a few people that thought that it was my real last name for a while.

3. I went to Nairobi in 2007 and I really want to go back. 

4. I've chewed sweet mint Orbit gum for about four years, or more??

5. I'm a doodler. I constantly doodle during class. It's embarrassing when the teacher notices, too.

6. I like the left side of my face the best. It's probably because I like my left teeth better. 

7. I love hands. They're so pretty. I could never date someone if I didn't like their hands. Anthony has nice hands. These are simple sentences.

8. I also hate showering. I think it's because I hate having to blow dry my hair. I like being clean... I just HATE being soaking wet and having to dry my hair, dry off, find clothes, blah blah blah. It's so annoying. If I wouldn't stink and/or have nasty hair, I'd just spray some perfume and be on my way. But I don't. So don't judge me. 

(Have you ever seen "Arrested Development?" It's hilarious. And my shower hatred reminded me of one of the characters.)

9. I'm terrified of going blind because I'm scared that I wont' be able to read.

10. When I was really, really young (probably six or seven), I had an "emergency bag," just in case of a fire/tornado/anything. It was right next to my bed. I used to plan out what I would try and save before running out of the house. 

Okay, now I'm supposed to tag ten more people. Some people have already been tagged, so I'm going to leave them out. All of these blogs have some creative element that I love. There are tons of blogs that I love and read daily, but these ten stuck out to me for this particular "award."

Okay, well I'll be back to commenting on blogs and all that jazz tonight, but today is Sunday, and Sunday is the only day that I get to spend with Anthony; therefore, I am peacin' out!

But before I go... have some laughs:


This is why Harry Potter is better than Twilight.
