Well... I haven't written in this thing in an eternity and a half!
Since they say a picture is worth a million words, I'm going to save my efforts and just drown this thing in visual delights! Sound good? Good!
Well, when we left off, I looked like this:
I dated this guy (Riley) for a year and four months:
However, after that long amount of time, I realized he was mentally/emotionally abusive.
I kind of went
I got really really depressed and angry and bitter and scared and all kinds of horrible feelings.
However, life doesn't stop for anybody.
Eventually, I got my act back together.
I did a lot of soul searching.
Asked a lot of questions.
And finally came to the conclusion that I have no answers what so ever.
And slowly, I began to realize that I don't need answers.
That life is about more than knowing everything.
It's about feeling everything. Doing everything.
[... Except for drugs and sex. I'm still mostly a good girl. =] ]
So anyway, Spring Break before last, I went to Europe with some pretty awesome people.
It was in a cozy little German pub that I'd meet Kat, the grape.
We bonded pretty quickly. I guess that's what happens when you're stuck on an eight hour flight together. I think we irritated the man behind us with all our picture taking.
She now picks me up after school everyday, which is good, since I still don't have a car.
I was in my school's production of Grease.
That's my buddy Lauren with me. =]
I was on the costume crew, which was a lot of fun.
I discovered that I LOVE editing photos!
I also love hats!
And nails! This is my favorite design. Long and Pure black. A few friends called me a harpy for a while because of my talons. =]
I got a new motto.
... And then I met Travis.
It was at this point that life really started to calm down. I had my 17th birthday party.
On the same night, poor Travis got to meet my mom, dad, a close friend, and my grandparents.
Luckily, they liked him right away. The same can be said for his family. I babysit his two younger siblings more often than he does. His mom told me to think of their house as my home, and as often as I'm over there, it might as well be. She's offered to let me move in once I turn 18, but we haven't decided for sure. This is without a doubt the most stable relationship I've ever been in, and stability is a wonderful thing after being so drama-filled for so long. It feels like I can finally relax for the first time since seventh grade.
He got to meet my best friend, Sarah. There are a lot of pictures of My and Sarah's adventures, but sadly I've lost my USB cable. I'll go back and edit this post once I buy a new one, and can post pictures of it.
I guess that comes full cycle back to... Me.
That's not edited.
Let's see... Love Life. Social Life... I've changed in so many ways, but they're all so small that individually, there's not much to post about. If you want to hear about any other changes, feel free to comment. =]

Alright, and here are some logos/mottos/etc that I'm just very fond of:
