bye to braceface!

yes, i know my site is a mess.

yes, i will fix it in a bit (:

you see, i would right now but i have huuuge news.

my braces are coming off january 15!

i was waiting to get a new picture when my smile was bracesless (:

i've only had them on for about a year and a half, but i still can't wait to see my teeth again !

it's a big moment in a persons life. especially a teenager's. you look so grown-up afterward.

i mean, look at my friend Melissa:

before:

after:

she looks super different. i mean, she was gorgeous before but her looks changed so much!

she definitley looks a lot different, and that in a good way (:

12 days and i'll be able to see my smile again (:

i don't think i can last another day i'm so excited.

what are you excited about?

tell me in a comment & thank you for reading!

p.s. how was everyone's holiday (: ?

i'm actually posting at this moment to avoid a 100 page history study guide...

(more like 2. lol.)

but..have you ever heard a song that just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy?

yeah.....that happened to me a couple days ago.

so my dad was driving me from the homecoming game and i'm listening to the radio.

and a song titled "fireflies" comes on. and i'm like hmm, this is new.

and it's AMAZING! i could not have imagined a more adorable song.

like...it's hard to describe. it makes my skin tingle with happiness (: !

ahahah. but seriously, it's that great.

and the artist was owl city. and i was like what the heckk...?

new person...i must know them! so i look them up on youtube.

well, him, because it's only one person..

and his name is adam young.

and he's truly amazing, like his songs.

my favorite happens to be vanilla twilight, fyi (:

but i HIGHLY recommend them, and you should look HIM up!

eh, i'll do it for you. listen to this!

is it not amazingly sweet?

it is, it is.

so my question...

what is your favorite band at the moment?

there was sooooo much stuff to choose from,
thanks to Leelou Blogs !

and i'm quite frugal, so i get the free stuff (:
free or not, it's all amazingly awesome.

my country escape.

tests.quizzes. loads of homework in only the first couple weeks of school.

all i gotta say is: thank GOODNESS for labor day weekend.

whew.

anytime i have a long or free weekend, i come here:

my grandparents' house.

it's a two-hour drive, but it's well worth it.

i can't count how many times i have been up here.

when i was little, that was all i did.

coming up here,

i have made plenty of marks on the driveway...

have had plenty of birthdays...

and have swam in the pond too many times to count..

it is and always will be my country escape.

where i can forget about everything and just relax.

there's so many precious memories, precious times to remember.

so when i'm up here, i can just do whatever, and forget about whatever.

like my little private vacation spot.

Where do you go to escape from life?

brothers.

sigh.
my brother, logan, is 11 turning 12 next week.
he is very young.
not his age but like..his heart, i guess?
lets get to the point:
the girl he likes and she likes him got together today.
actually, about an hour ago.
i thought it was adorable.
then, a couple minutes ago, he decided he "wasn't ready".
this was his first girlfriend.
he hasn't even seen her since they've gone out.
or experience what it's like to HAVE a girlfriend.
so he broke up with her.
and probably broke her heart.
but he thinks it's all about him and how he feels.
as you can tell, he makes me angry.
but, to make me angriER,
my mom gets home.
and he starts crying.
look, i know i sound mean.
but he's in sixth grade and should be able to be normal.
not some little wuss.
ugh.

Does your brother make you mad? How so?

spider bites.

i love me some spiderman.
peter parker is amazing.


see (: ?

but..
spiders themselves?
not so much.
especially when i'm trying to straighten my hair.
and they decide to crawl up under my shirt.
and bite me. (if it's a radioactive spider, then i'm cool with it.)
now, of course, my first reaction is to take off my shirt.
and maybe i stomp on it. maybe.
i look in the mirror..and i actually have not one, but two spider bites.
two words: dear. lord.
currently they itch like heckles.
but thats not the point.
the point is that i was afraid to put my adorable shirt back on.
so today, i wore a t-shirt i wear constantly, instead of an amazing top from the best store in the world: forever 21.
thanks spider.
you ruined my day.


Was your day ruined like me? How?

do tell in a comment (:



xoxo,
itchy maddie.
