Tagged by Stephanie!

1. Why my last relationship ended:  Eventually my patience ran out, and I needed to separate myself from the stressor that he had become... it was a shame.

2. Favorite band:  Possibly Muse,  but as of late I've been on a major Elbow kick.

3. Who I like and why I like him/her:  I'm fortunate enough to like most of the people in my life right now, though I have two friends that I'm closer to than most others.  One, because he is my most faithful and patient and supportive and fun and natural friend, as well as my first college friend, and Two, because he's all around amazing and multi-talented and full of God's love.

4. Hardest thing I've ever been through:  On an emotional level, my suicidal period in high school.  Physically, when I had a kidney stone.

5. My best friend: Cody (or One from above)

6. My favorite movie:  Déjà Vu, Oceans movies, Bourne movies, Up, The Dark Knight, and more...

7. Sexual orientation:  Straight.

8. Do I smoke/drink?  Nope, and I don't intend to any time in the future.

9. Do I have any tattoos or piercings?  Just pierced ears.

10. What I want to be when I get older:  A productive and happy member of society.

11. Relationship with my parents:  Complicated… practically raised my alcoholic mom these last couple years, my dad's bipolar but thinks he's perfect… I love my mom, I really do.  It's just hard to handle them sometimes.

12. One of my insecurities:  Feelings in general.  Because of my parents I've learned to emotionally detach myself from negative emotions, and only allow myself to feel when it is rational and productive to do so… which makes romantic love kind of hard for me (though love in general, for some reason, is easy).

13. Virgin?  Yes.

14. Favorite place to shop:  Heh.  Where I'd like to shop and where I actually shop are totally different places.

15. My eye color:  Hazel

16. Why I hate school (or work):  I don't… I love it.

17. Relationship status as of right now:  Eh.   Single.  Sort of.

18. Favorite song of the moment:  One Day Like This by Elbow <3

19. A random fact about myself:  I'm taking abnormal psych in the fall :).

20. An age I get mistaken for:  When I was a senior in high school, I sometimes got taken for a senior in college, but at that same age I got handed a kiddy menu once… so it depends entirely on what I'm wearing.

21. Where I want to be right now:  My college, with the people I love.

22. Last time I cried:  May 7th (because I really miss someone who doesn't miss me… it's confusing), and before that, April 22 (my kidney stone).  Before those two, it's been a while, I think...

23. Concerts I've been to:  None worth mentioning… my dream concert is Muse though.

24. What would you do if...: I really don't understand this question at all--I second that Steph.

25. Do you want to go to college?  Haha, I want to STAY in college!

26. What's your favorite body part?  On myself?  Probably my eyes.

27. What's your most embarrassing moment?  Confusing the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution -.-. 

28. What's your favorite flower?  Passion flower, for sure.

29. What's the shortest a person could be before you just wouldn't date them?  Don't have a limit.

30. How are you?  Sick at the moment, actually.


I tag anyone who wants to do it :).  I'll give you guys a proper update later!

Some Pictures, a Short Film, and a Vlog--April 25th

Well, first off, I figured I'd just post some random pictures I've taken over the course of my second semester at college.  My favorite shots are ones of my friends, but I don't want to post them without their awareness, so I'll keep pictures of others to a minimum.  After the pics is a vlog where I talk about how I haven't done anything fun or interesting in a while... though, honestly, this semester really has been a pretty great one.  I got pranked, went to the Hunger Games premiere with some friends, went to a reptile show, sorted through trash, got a JOB, held a cute little snake, found out I'm my best friend's best friend, and actually got some homework done.  Also, as covered in the vlog, I was hospitalized and got beat up on a granite mountain.  But you'll have to watch for more info on that  ;).  Without further ado, some pics.

A prank someone pulled on me--yes, that is ALL OF MY BEDDING STAPLED TO THE WALL.

The quad on a lovely spring day.

At a festival, where I joined some other volunteers in sorting through trash cans for recyclables.

Myself and the egg I dyed on Easter.

An awesome Asian water monitor, on my head, at a reptile show.

A snake a friend of mine found while we were out by a local creek.

A picture my sister snagged over spring break, when we went hiking off the blue ridge parkway.

A anole found by that same local creek.

My knees after shooting the short film--later, the red turned to purple, then started to fade.

If you care to see the short film, here it is.  BEFORE WATCHING, read the following disclaimer:

I acted as instructed to act--frequently in an overdramatic fashion, with tantrum like moments, and my character was a bit of a hotheaded idiot.  So yeah, there's that.  Also, I managed to get punched between the eyes once, and punched my counterpart in the mouth at one point... so while no animals were harmed in the making of this film, students WERE xD lol.  Overall, it was a lot of fun... I hope you enjoy if you watch it:



And, last but not least, the vlog with the latest updates from a sleep deprived Lizabeth xD lol.  Here I am folks...
