Witty titles are hard to think up.

It's amazing how quickly life changes.
Stephanie five years ago is much different than Stephanie at present.
It's weird to think of how different I (and, hopefully, life) will be in five years. CraaAAAaAAAaaAazy!

Thought of the day I suppose.
Although, I am definitely more curious about why the apartment floor keeps rumbling. This most definitely concerns me.

On to cool things.



I would very much like one of these.



And these:

Part of my dream home will include a Zelda wall. Complete with a life size Link statue, mini deku tree, full-size Hylian Shield and Master Sword, blue ocarina, and bunny hood. 


*siiiiiiiiigh* I <3 Link =^_^= Now if he was only real...


And that made me lose my trail of thought. I was going somewhere with this. Oh well.

Link is a good note to end on.

Think. Think. Think

If you had to describe yourself in just one word, what would it be?  What would you choose to communicate as the very core of yourself; the most important aspect to convey?
What would you have others know you by?


I have always been interested in how others see me. I have a very defined (albeit ever changing) way of seeing myself; I'm curious if others view me the same way. Does anybody else think of this? It is not a worried or concerned, "What do they think of me?"-not the sort of question that seeks approval or even attention. Just merely a question of how others view the world, or rather, my minute part of it. 

Part of this curiosity comes from my habit of trying to speculate the reasoning and thoughts of others. I always wonder if the way I am interpreting what they are doing is the way they actually intended it; if the way I perceive them is the way they perceive themselves.


"TO BE CONTINUED"


When I started writing this post, I had a much more elaborate thought. Now tiredness has set in, and I want nothing more than to sleep. I will finish writing this post after I rethink of how  to conclude it.
Hopefully this made some sort of sense,
Goodnight.

I think I may be developing an attention span problem thing...

I would just like to inform you that, because of yesterday's post, I have a song stuck in my head that goes something like this:

"Who's that girl? What's her name?
Is she cool? Is she lame?
POOOOKEEEMOOOOON!"

Note: Each of those lines are sung in the tune of their respective theme song.


I hope, you too, can share in the joy of having this stuck in your head ^_^



SOOOOO FLUFFY! O_o

Who's that girl, what's her name, is she cool? is she lame?

I have one million thoughts I would like to share.
So I will.
...
Not literally a million though. I could, but you would most certainly tire of me.
And I do not want that.
I like you.
I think.


Discovery.
While doing a grammar check on a letter to a friend, I discovered I frequently talk using the passive voice. Not of any significance, I just thought this was an interesting tidbit.

Also, I had a moment of nostalgia last night. While browsing through youtube, I stumbled upon a video of 90's cartoon theme music.
I started with:
 
I was actually more into Digimon and Beyblade 


Which lead me to:

Which lead me to:


Which led me to:

This was probably my favorite cartoon.

And I'll stop there, because I am actually getting away from the point I was going to make.

Which is:
I think last night I discovered why I like red hair sooooo much.
I credit the cartoons I watched growing up. Take Pepper Ann. Red hair. Weird. Fantastic.
Sally Acorn.
...
So I don't actually remember much about Sally Acorn, besides her hair color. I do distinctively remember desperately wanting to be her though. For serious.

I had a longer train of thought for this, but I got redistracted with cartoon themes. Point being. Cartoons changed my life ;)


Although, if I was to choose a theme song that defines my childhood tv watching it would be a toss up between
   and


Although, I am not saying Voyager was my favorite Star Trek. It is not. I am just saying I remember always watching it. Always.
That and Road to Avonly and Wind at My Back....

>_>


But let's just focus on the cool things, shall we? :P

I also remember begging my basketball coach to cut practice short so I could make it home in time for Stargate (yeah, I played basketball in elementary school. I thought I was soooo good. I probably sucked in reality, but, whatever. Confidence is key). I had THE BIGGEST CRUSH on Daniel Jackson. Like seriously. Huge crush. If I could have any job, it would be his. The only thing that would make it/him more perfect is if he painted. That would be cool. Like the cherry on top.

My language and writing style has been going all over. My apologies. Slight fangirl moment >_>




I think, tomorrow, I might skip class and just draw people.  
This thought was special, so it deserved it's own font.

The digit ratio of A. afarensis does not interest me.

So I will share with you this quote.

"I desire the company of a man who could sympathize with me, whose eyes would reply to mine. You may deem me romantic, my dear sister, but I bitterly feel the want of a friend. I have no one near me, gentle yet courageous, possessed of a cultivated as well as of a capacious mind, whose tastes are like my own, to approve or amend my plans. How would such a friend repair the faults of your poor brother! I am too ardent in execution and too impatient of difficulties."
Letter 2, Frankenstein.
Mary Shelly

I relate to this at the moment.

I can't think of a good title, but this is a happy post.

So, before I start with the actual blog, I would just like to inform you that my word of the week seems to be "delightful." I will more than likely use it excessively in this post ^_^
Now to begin.
I had to work today, which I actually wasn't too stoked on. I had wayyyyy too much sugar for breakfast (eggos and hot chocolate-the breakfast of champions ^_^), so I felt rather ill going in. Also, today is a public holiday. This usually means that all the grumpy, nasty people crawl out of their holes to bring absolute joy (please note the sarcasm) to unsuspecting sales people. Deeeeeelightful. *grumpy face*
Today was different. With the exception of ONE disgruntled customer, everyone was wonderful. In fact, most were beyond wonderful; they were the perfect customer-straight to the point, yet open for natural conversation.
There was a tie today for the most delightful costumer.
The first lady was older. At first, she was kind of frustrated with pants sizes, BUT it is amazing what kindness can do to a grumpy face. She started talking about my hair and how she used to do it like that when she was my age. I got to hear some life stories and interesting tidbits. We eventually started talking about classic movie stars. She said I reminded her of some of them, and she was so happy that "there are still some young ladies who know what class is." This is probably the best compliment I have ever received. Live ever ever. I think I may enjoy being called classy even more than I like being called cute, which used to be my favorite (mainly because, to me, cute is more than looks; it is also about personality.)
The second lady was a joy from the moment she walked into the store. She was olderish with an accent. She said "ya" a lot, and made fun of herself for doing so :P She also complimented my hair and said she used to do hers like that. She called me refined ^_^ She asked how I did it, which I explained. A coworker joined in the conversation saying my hair is always nice, and I should start a business. The lady said she would be glad to be my first customer :P (I didn't want to be rude, so I didn't mention how much the thought of touching a strangers head disgusts me XD) The lady wandered away after this, and I continued with whatever it was I was doing. Before she left, she once again complimented me on my hair, and said "When young ladies like you do this, it makes them look older in a nice way and classy. If I was to do this again, I would look like a babushka!" XD Like I said, she was an absolute joy! ^_^
I wish costumers were that wonderful everyday. I would actually enjoy working with people then :P

 
I had my hair done something like this.
Not the curls, but just at the headband stage.

Another happy things is I FINALLY GOT THE NAKED PALETTE! SOOOO STOKED! The colors are gorgeous, and now I feel like I can throw out a lot of my so-so eyeshadows. yay!




I seem to be in such a good mood lately. I give b-vitamins and multivitamins full credit for this.

Life. Is. Amazing.

Dearest life. You are wonderful. I am excited. No, make that nervous. I am fantastically nervous for what is in store. I love this feeling. It is like falling in love. But not with some silly boy/man/person, but with possibilities, with the endless, magnificent possibilities of the future. Life. Is. Amazing.

This may just be the meds talking, but...

I have decided I want to be a beautiful person. No, I do not mean an attractive person, or a pretty person, or person who has artificial beauty. This has nothing to do with looks. This has to do with the inside, the soul, the very core of one's being. I want people to meet me and be inspired, or, at the very least, be curious. I want to change things, people, situations. No more just settling or just doing. I want to be, to live. I want an adventure, my adventure, to begin. I want to be able to overcome fears and insecurities, and to be honest about said fears and insecurities. No more being afraid of people and the damage they are capable of inflicting. I want to realize the endless potential and beauty in every person  I want to be able to express my thoughts and feelings in a way that truly connects with people. I want to be genuine, to be nice. To be absolutely wonderful to everyone.

To be sincerely beautiful.

This is what I want.




....I would also like to be neater/more organized. Not as "woah golly gee" deep, but it goes with the whole "self-improvement" theme of this post. :)
