I went to my first “frat party”. It was a Halloween party. I dressed up as a mafia girl (matching my mafia pal), danced, met some new people. I danced in the middle of the dance floor. Didn’t think twice about it, or mask my dancing with some shy little toe to toe shuffle (like I used to) And I wasn’t even drunk!!

How I did it: my parents had rented cabins in Gatlinburg a couple of time last year. My brother and his girlfriend and I wanted to do the same thing. So we decided to do it this June for his birthday. Then my parents decided they'd come too, and they reserved the cabin and a van to take down there. So now it's a family vacation which is nice since we haven't had one in years. We're all splitting the cost. It's 170 a day, for two rooms, a kitchen bathro… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I got a big journal with writing space as well as empty paper for adding art too. I write in it every day and add some kind of art like photos, drawings, or paintings. I also add stickers and other decorations to pages to keep them artistic. I use it to document memories, quotes, and my goals. I've even added lists of affirmations, the things that make me happy, and facts about myself. It's an inspiring and insightful way to journal… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I always loved music, but never saw many live shows. I think in my life I've gone to three concerts, and a few small dinner theater plays. I got a job working banquets at a casino boat and get to work concerts at least once or twice a month for the past year. Now I get paid to see live music ! Read how I did it…

I’ve tried to use a lighter and it just won’t work for me. I guess I get scared of being burnt or something, or maybe I have no strength in my fingers lol. But it’s embarrassing to me having to have other people light my candles at work (though it does give me the excuse to sing “will you light my candle?” from rent often enough)
all in all I’m going to buy a lighter today. A cool one. And this will give me an excuse to start being reasonable and use a gosh darn lighter.
I don’t know why I kept them all. I figure I’ll see if there’s anything I could use for my first collage before I find where to recycle them all. I’d hate to just throw all this paper away.
