So yesterday the newspaper staff all went out to eat at Olive Garden. It was super fun. We exchanged gifts first and then ordered our food. I got a New Moon poster, the one that features all the Cullens with Edward and Bella. I love it, it's huge!! And now I have tons of eye candy hanging in my room. For the second part of my gift I was given a shoebox with sweets and a six pack of Dr. Pepper in it. It was very thoughtful and I'm saving the candy for days when I'm dying for something sweet.

Then we ordered our food and drinks. I ordered a Sicilian Splash (this amazing drink that has club soda, orange syrup and lemonade mixed together, it was sooo amazing) and a Dr. Pepper to drink and as for the food I chose the endless soup, salad, and breadsticks special. The salad was spectacular. I picked Chicken and Gnocchi as my soup and stuffed my face with breadsticks. It was great and I enjoyed spending time with everyone.

I was grateful for all the gifts I received, thank you to all who gave me something, I wish I could given something in return.

So I've decided that I'm going to get a lip stud and my eyebrow pierced over Christmas. That'll be enough to start out with. Now I'm looking into getting some FX contacts. I really want the Marilyn Manson contacts and some purple contacts I found. I'm worried about saving a lot of money for them. There's a big gap in price. The ones I want (that seem to come from a very professional site) are like $200 a pair, then the next most expensive price I have seen is $80. I don't want to waste all that extra money if the quality is basically the same. Know what I mean? But if I find out that the cheaper ones do suck then I don't mind spending the extra money. But since I don't ever get money, I need to be careful with what I buy with it. (I hear that if you care for your contacts properly then they can last for years.)

Today has been super boring. I only had to take one semester exam today and the rest of the day I've just been sitting around, doing nothing. I hate it when I'm not doing something. Over the break I'm going to pick 4 places I would like to live and pick 3 colleges that interest from each location and start applying for financial aid and stuff. I have to make sooo many appointments and stuff, it's crazy. Haha. But hey, college is important...I never plan my life out in advanced but I think that college is a great thing to go through, mentally, emotionally and physically. It'll change me and give me more of an opportunity to exceed in life. Success in anything I do is all that matters to me. I want to do many different things and I think that college will give me a good foundation.

I'm getting super excited, there's a concert coming up on the 27th and it should be amazing. A Day To Remember, Breathe Carolina, Oh Sleeper, A Four Letter Lie, Analogue Rebellion, In Fear and Faith and Disco Curtis will all be there. It's going to be sooo boss. Haha. I can't wait to mosh my little heart out. And then in January I get to see IWABO and Of Machines. That should be cool as well. Tehehe. I'm still dying to see Jeffree Star again, I hope he comes to Dallas next year, at least once. He's still my muhhfuckin idol. I'm interested not into make-up anymore but I still like what he stands for and I simply adore his music.

Shit, this has been a long post, I better end it here. Haha. Hope all is well with you guys.
