she was pretty in her teens.
the basics :]
I'm a Senior at Century High School located in the lovely town of Hillsboro, Oregon. This fall I'm going to be moving to the even lovelier town of Savannah, Georgia, to attend the Savannah College of Art and Design, majoring in Photography. I have a boyfriend named Joe who makes me smile. The end :].

yes, I made the layout, no I won't make you one :]
Wear Sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 pm on some idel Tuesday. Do one thing every day that scares you.
Sing.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself. Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year- olds I know still don't. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone. Mayber you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody's else's.
Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Dont' be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths. Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will Look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
Aimee. I'm most def glad I lured you back to the evils of myspace. its that proof that I've been searching for for so long. Proof of what? Why your undying love for me of course.
Hey no problem, very fun to hang out with you as well! And since your wisdom teeth didn't give you that much trouble, you can come play kickball with us tomorrow!
Well, all the things we do would be fun if my friends were here, and my dad wasn't. Like yesterday we went and walked around Down Town Palo Alto by the new house they're going to move into. And it was pretty terrible because my sister wouldn't stop complaining about how much we had to walk and my dad didn't want to go into any of the stores. But, if I were there with Jake and/or You I believe I would of had an fan-freakin-tastic time. It's a great little place, and it's right up my alley as far as fun goes. Then I was dragged into and Hour and 49 Minutes of torture, 10,000 BC is probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I highly suggest you don't go see it. It's a waste of time and money. And today we went to a kids museum that hasn't been updated since 2005, and we've been there at least 10 times since then, so it was extremely boring, and crawling with smelly kids there on a feild trip. I don't know, maybe I'm just being pessimistic. =/
It's okay, he's working on it. I'm just kind of irked that I have to be here all week. The weather is nice, but the sun makes me irritable. It's probably why I like Gingers so much. Haha.
I know how it is. I love and hate traveling just for that reason. My breaks been pretty crappy actually. Not once have I slept in yet. And it's starting to piss me off. As you may of heard, my dad is like the biggest dick on the planet earth. (He makes Cooper look nice.) And I'm stuck in California at his house. Thank God I get to go home on Saturday. How's your break been?
Well, it is quite sad you won't be here, but if being pale and cold is what it takes, I would never let it go. :D (I LOVE Oregon. Seriously, it's the best place I've ever lived/been. )
my profile says i'm a sophomore??? i should update it...but i won't add that i love you more than everybody else in the entire world because that would be a lie...xD
