in honor of this occasion I'll do a top 10 happiness-es my blog has brought to me:

1) my blog has given me a place to tell the world how my day was.

2) my blog has been a place for me to tell the message that you make your happiness in life.

3) my blog has been a place for me to be deep when people in my real life probably already heard about it.

4) my blog has been a place to tell everyone I had fun.

5) my blog has been a place where I've made friends in different parts of the US.

6) my blog has let my mom know what i've been up to if i've been too busy to call =)

7) my blog started as a way to vent about college #1

8) my blog has been a way to rave about college #2

9) my blog has been an outlet to learn about new people

10) my blog has been a place for me to be me

I love my blog and my blog buddies. even though i've been unbelievably busy the last month or two and haven't been able to blog very much I'm glad it has been here if I needed it.

Thanks for reading along for the year.

Here's to another fantastic year!!

tag! you're it

I've never been tagged before let alone awarded a blog award and I'm quite happy about it! Thank You Vanessa!!

She combined the two awards into one, so I guess I'll just do the same =)

+

The rules for Kreativ blogger are:

1) List 7 things about myself that others may not know

2) Award 7 people with the award

And the Honest Scrap Award:

1) divulge 10 honest things about yourself

2) Pass the award onto 7 bloggers who you believe will be 100% truthful

Now me =)

1. I've lived in my hometown for almost 15 years. I moved here when I was 5 years old and can still sort of remember my last day at my school. It was Halloween and I was in Kindergarten.

2. I always had a hard time making friends when I was younger. I got better at it as I got older (specifically sophomore year in high school).

3. I have never dyed my hair, until this weekend. And I LOVE it =)

4. I've never been on a date/had a boyfriend. I wish that would change...

5. Finding Nemo is my favorite movie.

6. All my money goes towards movies, music, and candy.

7. I procrastinate so bad. I usually wait until the very last minute to do papers or projects. I hate it, but still do it anyway.

8. I love to laugh. If you can make me laugh, we can get along very well. I think laughter and happiness are something you can absolutely create in your life. It's the best help when things aren't the best for you at the time. I strive to stay happy every day. And sort of to go along with that, I hate crying in front of people. I hate crying period and that has been quite the problem in the past...

9. I watch Disney Channel all the time. I usually watch it when no one else is around though =)

10. I would love to study abroad in England. I think that would be the most amazing experience ever! Plus I love British accents ;)

Now I tag:

"things I think are lamespice"

I read a post over at Busy Bee Lauren's blog where she did a list of things she hates, but the rest of the world loves. She tagged it so now I'm going to do one myself! And she did this a long time ago (7/8) but I'm a slow blogger so I just finished my list, hahaha! Without further ado:

"Things I don't like that other people happen to love"

1. Writing

I know. It's ironic that I write a blog, but hate writing. I hate having to form an essay on a subject I'd rather not talk about. There are rare occasions where I get to write whatever I want and I don't mind writing, but writing for school where research is involved is the WORST. I know a lot of people who actually like to write, ehh.

2. Skirts

I can never find one that looks right on me! I have two, but NEVER wear them because they don't fit right and I can't figure out when I should wear them. I LOVE dresses though, unfortunately I don't own any cute summer ones at the moment.

3. Basketball

I'm not the biggest fan of sports in general. I mean I support the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots, but any other team I couldn't give two hoots about. Basketball I especially share this dislike of. And would you know it I'm 5'8'' was asked by my gym teacher a few times if I thought of playing at all, and still have a complete dislike of it!

4. Michael Jackson

Don't get me started... Creeped me out when he was alive, creeps me out even more now.

5. Dogs

Ok, I don't hate dogs per say, but what I do hate is the drool and the clean up in the yard. They're sort of gross.

6. Willy Wonka/ Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I don't know if anyone loves this movie or the remake, but I happen to strongly dislike both of them. Two things: 1) Oompa Loompas and 2) Johnny Depp.

1) freaks me out in the worst way. Can't stand anything to do with them. My friends know this and we don't speak of them, the movie, or Golden tickets *cringe*

2) he's just super creepy in the remake. I've only watched a little bit of it. The Oompa Loompas aren't as bad because it's just one guy made smaller through the computer, but Depp is unbelievably creepy in it to me.

7) Odd numbered volumes

Whether you're in the car or watching tv, the volume needs to be an even number. It just has to be. I've asked my dad to fix the volume before on the tv. This has also been used against me as a joke. I can't explain it, just trust me.
