Little Details

About a year ago a friend of mine wrote about the little details that one can find on people and how most relationships lasts a long period of time because they find little in their partners and that helps them like them more, or something like that. I really liked that post of hers and as soon as I read it I started to realize that it is really true what she said, not necessarily just with romantic relationships, but also with friends. I remember that when I read it I took note of my friend's details that I liked. It could be something physical like a smile or something psychological like making me feel better.

Having this said, I'd like to write down some of my friend's details and characteristics that I think make them be who they or are part of themselves. I won't write their real names to avoid problems and instead I'll write famous names.

Susan: She has this tendency to put her left hand on her back when she draws or writes for a long time. I had noticed this a long time ago and thought it was adorable because she looked like a little girl. Also, she had pretty green eyes.

Lucy: When she smiles, two small dimples form on her face and I like to poke them. Also, she gets frustrated really easily and that makes me laugh even harder. But one thing I like a lot of her is that she always inspires me to work (study, go to class, not be lazy,) and she was actually the one that inspired me to write my blog. She says funny the word "dude". 

Leonardo: He has a small spot under his right eye and another one under his lip. I don't know why, but I really like those two spots, they are part of his personality or something...I don't know. Also he has really nice teeth and therefore he has a nice smile.

Raphael: He has this tendency to start saying "Yes" "No" "Why?" whenever he is working in something. It is really funny but he hasn't done it in a long time. Also, he is always trying to help everyone in anything he can without thinking it two times. He has a really big heart.

Donatello: He tells the best "bad jokes" ever. Also, his hair moves funny when he laughs. 

Michelangelo: He has a funny laugh and when he doesn't understand something he says "Whaaaat?" really funny. Also, I really like how he gets really excited talking about math or computers. 

Meg: She has a really funny sneeze and a really funny laugh. She makes weird/funny faces that always makes everybody smile. I really can be as weird as I want when I'm with her.

Jo: She amazes me how she can be really serious, but when she gets excited she is like a little kid on Christmas. Also, it is surprising how much she knows about ... stuff. If you have a doubt about something, she probably knows even a little bit about it.

Beth: She has a lot of freckles on her face that makes her even cuter. Her smile looks really shy but I know she is actually having fun. Her smile is a nice plus on her personality. I like it that she has grown a lot to me this past years.

Amy: She also has a lot of freckles, and one very important detail about her is that she has an awesome accent that sound pretty! I like how she says certain words, and she always teaches me new thing. She sometimes uses funny words too.

Blossom: I always pictured her as a very brave person. Her curls jump a lot when she jumps or run and it is funny. She doesn't care what people think about her.

Bubbles: She is very strong and very flexible. Also, she amazes me how she does a million things and she has time for every single one of them. She dresses really beautifully. 

Buttercup: She has a loud and funny laugh...actually she is very loud in every sense and I like that. She is friends with everybody.

In conclusion, I think that everyone in this world have at least one small characteristic that draws people's attention. Or perhaps something they do that as soon as they think of that person they think of that something. For example when someone says Buttercup's or Meg's names, the first thing to come to mind is their laughs. You shouldn't be ashamed of this little details because at the end that's what makes you who you are. A friend says I remind him of a pillow (I don't think he is completely serious) but well, that is a way people picture me. 

Just remember to be happy and pay attention to this details because you never know when is the last time you'll see them.

Lots of love

Friendship

Lately I've been spending too much time with a guy friend of mine, Pablo, and he is a really awesome guy. I don't like him in a romantic way or anything, but he is really cool. He makes me laugh, is smart, helps me, and he also has a temper, but most of the time he is funny. Also, he always starts arguing over stupid stuff and end up laughing...at least I do. The point is that yesterday I was telling a girl-friend of mine how i really like him and how I am afraid people will think I am in love with him or something because I spend too much time with him and love bothering him, but she told me that it doesn't look that way, that he always calls me mom (because I remind him of his mother) and I call him son (because he is like a baby) and that helps clarify our relationship. I was so glad she told me that because I was afraid he would think that I liked him.

The point is that friendships between boys and girls can be really fun but I am afraid most people always say things like, "oh you look awesome together" or someone will think that one likes the other. But boys and girls can be friends without having to develop some kind of crush on the other. I mean, sure, I can admire some of my guy friends for their intelligence, or their nice teeth, or something like that, but that doesn't mean I like them. Get what I mean?

I'm just saying that thanks to God I have developed a better friendship with this guy because I love attention and he gives it to me. And not only this guy Pablo, but I think that this semester the relation with my friends have grown pretty much. I feel like I can connect better to my friends, and that I know them better most of them, specially the guys because I didn't used to talk so much to them. I am so glad that I have such amazing guys really, because at the end, friends are supposed to always be there for you and help you when you are in trouble, and make you laugh when you are sad. I love my friends and I couldn't have asked for better friends on my life really. I mean sure, they are weird...but then again, I am very weird too.

Lots of love

I want to be an artist

A while ago some friends and I were talking about  how they want to work in something that wont annoy them with time because jobs can be pretty frustrating. I told them to work doing what they like, but they told me that if they did what they like like for example, making videos, then the fun would go away and that would be pretty sad. However I told them that I could play music my entire life and never get tired. Of course they told me I was crazy and that in some years they would come and see me to see if I still liked music but the truth is that I am very passionate about my music. I love to play the piano for fun, and to distract myself, and to have some time alone, and I love that even though I already know plenty of stuff I keep learning new things every day, and new techniques. It is like magic for me. 

Since I already ended my exams, I've been playing more the piano and it is so fun. I've been trying to manage to play a minuet I once played again, and today I finally played it all beginning to end with a lot of passion and feeling. I was so excited when I finished the song and was almost jumping with excitement, also since there was nobody home, I was able to play as hard as I wanted. Oh god I simply adore to play music! Really guys, if you feel bored, or stressed, try to learn to play an instrument, it can be pretty fun and it helps a lot. Music helps you express yourself.

oh, and guys, you really need to watch this. It is a dancer. 

Lots of love my darlings

Freedom

Finally I'm done with exams and projects! I got a 100 on my math exam and I passed my physics exam, barely but I passed. Also, I already took my Spanish mock IB exam, and I think I did pretty well. I am so very excited really, I mean, I already finished another stage on my high school, and I am about to graduate. I am going to miss a lot of my teachers and all the things they taught me. I feel like I am about to cry, and I still need to pass my final exams, but I can be so emotional sometimes.

In about two weeks, on the last day of school, the people that are about to graduate go to the field and we toss colors to the air and water and we all dress in white, so we end up all colorful and wet and it looks so fun. I saw past generations do it and I can't wait to do it to. It is something I've been waiting for too.

Freedooom! I am almost done! and then summer!!!!

Lots of love

A wonderful day and then it came down

Today was my first day of classes after a week due to a break we had here in Mexico. I thought I would wake up filling really tired and pissed because I didn’t sleep well, but actually I woke up pretty well. I woke up early and had time to put some pretty makeup on and smooth a little bit my hair. Also, I had my milkshake in the morning as always and didn’t forget my lunch as I usually tend to do.

The entire day was really funny, one friend Pablo was really happy or I don’t know, but he made me laugh all day long together with my other friends. First was physics and we just had a review and then business were I felt really smart because I could answer the whole case without help of a guy friend (he actually wanted me to help him). Then we had a short class where I was really excited telling Alice about a girl I found on youtube that makes awesome violin covers of any song and how I wish I can play like that someday.

After that, I had another class called Investigation, and my only two girl-friends in that class decided to skip it, so I had to stick with Pablo and Fer who were working on an assignment I had already done. However, it was really funny because I was looking at dresses and Pablo was saying how the models looked really pretty and we ended up arguing about how girls are so complicated and how men are so simple (thing we always do…always) and I just ended up laughing because Fer was just like “shut up already please”. And then my free period with everybody and we talked about prom, and dresses, and horrible songs, etc. After that I went to my math class where I basically just decorated my work and did nothing, but it was funny.

After class, we always gather at our place in high school and talk about nothing. But this time (and this is the best part of my day) Pablo was really, really funny. I guess he was bored, but he was acting really funny. Talking weird, and walking weird, and he would just get all loose and fall on top of me so I would catch him but he is very tall and I am really small so I ended up all squished. He was saying how I was like his mom, and that he liked us (my friends and I) and I don’t know what was wrong with him but it was really funny. He was acting like a little kid who want attention, but he really made me laugh with all his stupidity. I had the best laugh in a long time and even remembering him doing that makes me laugh again.

And I am sorry I literally just wrote my whole day here, but when I arrived home I was really happy and excited about the long day and wanted to tell my mom all about it but she ignored me. Usually she gets distracted easily but she listens to me. But today she was “really busy” finding a place where to buy something for the car. And I don’t know if I had already said this, but I really like all the attention on me all the time, kind of an attention whore, but without the whore part…I don’t know what I’m saying. And she was all grumpy so I decided to play the piano to relax, but she wouldn’t let me because she was using the phone, so I just locked myself on my room until she ended all her business. 2 hours she took and she was arguing with my brother too. 

So basically, I had a really good day today, but little by little it started to come down…

Love

My hair sucks and my face even more

I really don't like the climate right now. It has been sunny, and then cloudy, and then raining. Living where I live can be a real bummer. My hair can't be controlled at all, it is really dry and has a lot of volume. Also, i end up tying my hair in a pony tail but it still looks awful. And that is not all, my face is filled with pimples right now and I start classes tomorrow. I feel ugly and I don't want to put on makeup tomorrow just to go to class, but I guess I have no other choice because if I don't put some makeup on I will be complaining all day long that I look awful.

In other news, I convinced a friend of mine to do my makeup on prom day and I found my prom dress in a small random shop. It is the one on the right. I wasn't convinced at the beginning, but my friends and family say that it looks great and the price wasn't that bad, so I guess I made the right choice. I went looking for dresses saying "no pink, and no shiny" and that is exactly what I ended up with. Life can be really ironic sometimes. But anyhow, getting a dress is off the list.

Lots of love

P.S. I saw that many people liked my messed up dream post a lot, so I think that i will post more dreams of mine when I can remember them and perhaps add a small dream analysis of my own.

Relaxation and Movie Day

So I have wanted to do this for a really long time. Have a movie day with my girl-friends in the open. Today is finally that day (excited!). I have a small balcony where I put some pillows and blankets on the floor. Also, my father has a big white screen with a projector that he is going to let me borrow. I already cleaned the area and took all the blankets outside. In a little while I will put everything in order and will take some pictures so I can upload. But basically I want something like the picture on the left. I hope we can relax and be just us for a little while because school had us pretty stressed for the past few weeks and this week was free for us.

Lots of love

Sophie
