| It's that time in my life that I have to figure out just what the hell I'm going to do with it. First it begins with finding yet another crap job; but this time, I'll only settle for getting paid crap, not treated like it. I can be a tough cookie. I'm very wise, but I've never had the platinum ovaries to apply such wisdom. I need to learn to have a voice again, and not let myself get stepped on anymore.
Then, it's time for FAFSA and other possible funding. As soon as possible, I have to get my pre recs out of the way. I have a learning disability in math, and honestly, the fear that it will hold me back is what's kept me from going to school. I have to at least try; there's gotta be a way to either learn it or work around it. I can't take no for an answer.
Next . . . Scuba lessons! From there, I can volunteer at the Shedd Aquarium (and play with sharks and dolphins and other cute things!). And the kicker: when I move to Florida, I'm aiming for a career in marine biology. Robby had wanted to move out there, and I was caught for a while in my decision to go with. I love Chicago. The skyline, the window shopping, the diversity. But I can let go of that, because I think I've exhausted my stay here for a while. Most of the people I love are gone, too many people who cause me grief are still here, and the friends I have are great, but often hard to spend time with given our schedules and distance. It'll be a good change.
I've contemplated careers in psychology, cosmetology, film, fashion, and fetishism. Right about now, my choice seems like a solid start; something that will let me get my head together by focusing more on nature than society for the most part.
Yep, I'm kinda giddy about the whole deal :)

| Mhmm.
My computer just crashed. AGAIN. FUCK YOU GEEK SQUAD (and/or Dell, not quite sure) YOU CAN SUCK MY ASS NEXT TIME I CAN'T AFFORD A BRAZILIAN AND GET EXPLOSIVE DIAREHA. Needless to say, I'll be getting it repaired, yet again, and then I plan to take full advantage of that buy back program; trade it in for a Mac, perhaps. We shall see.
In related news, I'm still back. Be it the library, or blogs typed in 15 minute increments from my phone, I miss Xanga and I'm generally sick of stupid shit holding me back from what I should be doing. Like, say, blogging about Shark Week :)
Anyway, I love you guys. And I am in no way sucking up so that you'll overlook my oh-so-eloquent opening rant. Not in the least . . .
Better posts within the next week; cross my heart. In the mean time, feel free to hit me up on AIM: BrokenxWingz17

| Well, a guest at my birthday party managed to crash my fucking computer, so I now have to wait 2-3 weeks for the repairs. Today I got an iPhone, so while this thing is far too annoying to write a decent blog with, at least I'll be able to keep in touch with you guys :)
I hope everyone is doing well, and I'll be around as often as I can be <3 P.S. I also apologize for any typos or mishaps, particularly regarding commenting. This phone is going to take some getting used to.

| In light of my 21st birthday quickly approaching, from now on, every Friday I will post a drink recipe from my stash. Most of them will be original, but there are some drinks I love that I simply can't improve on! One of them would be the Red Snapper. Originally, Red Snapper was the title used for a variation of a Bloody Mary with tabasco sauce or other spices. The version I know of today is quite a bit different. My version is fruity with a touch of tartness rounded off with yummy almond goodness! So here goes: You'll need: Cranberry Juice Amaretto Liquor Crown Royal Shaker Ice Shot Glass and/or Rock Glass Red Snapper Drink 
1 shot Crown Royal Canadian Whiskey 1 shot Amaretto Almond Liqueur 1 shot Cranberry Juice Shake, pour into an old-fashioned glass, and serve.
22% (44 proof) Serve in: Old-Fashioned Glass
Red Snapper Shot 1 1/4 oz Crown Royal Canadian Whiskey 1/2 oz Amaretto Almond Liqueur 1 splash Cranberry Juice Mix over ice, strain into a shot glass, and serve.
34% (68 proof) Serve in: Shot Glass Happy partying until next week! - Vix |

| "When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life." I don't know if said stranger originated this quote or ripped it off, but I am in love with it. I felt it was something that needed to be shared :) Shoutout @Pink_TeaCups - Thank you Elle! Without your post about Omegle, I wouldn't have known it existed. Ahh, the gems I find out of boredom . . . - Vix | | |
