Day 12. Something you never leave the house without.

There is one thing I never leave the house without: my backpack (or my purse if I decide to switch them out, depending on the occasion)

and in that backpack there are these things:

1. my wallet
2. my keys
3. my ray bans
4. my Wreck This Journal
5. and any other necessary items for that day (books, clothes, calculator, etc.)

Day 10. Something you’re afraid of

One thing I’m afraid of is sharp objects cutting me. Like… needles, razors, knives, paper cuts, scissors, etc. I just don’t like the idea of being cut. I think it started when I was in middle school- I was cutting some duct tape to make a super cool duct tape bracelet and my finger slid across the blade of the scissors. I could not get the feeling and image out of my head, it was terrible! And I used to have this nightmare of doing the splits on a bed of razors. WTF, right???

Day 9. A favorite picture of you and your best friend

This is me and my best friend Rebecky at 5th quarter our junior year of high school (i think??).

This is my favorite picture of us bc you can just feel the love! We both look so happy :) And also this is when we really started getting close

I love her so much and I’m so glad she’s in my life! I’m also really thankful that we’ve been able to stay best friends even though we go to different schools now

Love you Beckster!

Day 8. A place you’ve traveled to & where else you want to travel

The furthest I’ve ever traveled is to Orlando, Florida my freshman year to go to Disney World and Universal Studios! It was sooooo amazing. It was my first time to go out of the state and my first time to be on a plane. So that was kinda cool! I would absolutely love to go back to Disney World and Universal Studios. Hopefully one day I can go back! My one complaint was the humidity in Florida. Oh myyyy, it was terrible! But worth it, fa sho.

A place I would like to travel to is Santorini, Greece. The villages and beaches are beautiful and Greece is full of history. I would love to travel there some day.

Day 6. Pet Peeves

One one MAJOR pet peeve is hearing people eat, or just make noises with their mouths. I CANNOT stand it. It bothers me so much that I can’t even concentrate on anything until they stop. If I can even barely hear it I get so annoyed. It disgusting and just STOP. I get worked up just talking about it! Haha. The worst person is my dad. I think he tries to make as much noise as possible when he eats. I can’t even be near him when he eats, unless I’m eating too. Another person is the girl who would sit behind in the TAKS test every year. She would eat and cough and swallow and sneeze the entire time and it made it so hard to concentrate on my test. ICK.

This is the one pet peeve that just grinds my gears.

Day 5. What song inspires you?

First song that comes to mind: This Is Why We Fight by The Decemberists

I don’t know what it is about this song, but it gets me so pumped and makes me feel like I can fight for anything! I think it mostly has to do with 1) The music video. It’s cool. Go watch it. And 2) Because it is like the theme song to The Hunger Games for me. It totally fits. And I’m like really into The Hunger Games. So, again, it gets me pumped! I love The Decemberists and recommend them and this song to everyone!

I’ll go ahead and post this song, if anyone wants to listen to it :)

Day 3. First Love

I wasn’t able to write yesterday so I’m going to do day 3 and 4 today.

First Love

My first love was in 6th grade… Jake Scott. Haha, I thought I’d spend the rest of my life with that boy! I think I still have some notes and stuff he wrote me. Oh man were we naive! I honestly can’t remember how we started dating, but I know it had some to do with my sister and his brother being really good friends. We dated off and on until about 8th grade I think. One thing I remember was in 7th grade for Valentine’s Day he bought me a HUGE teddy bear. It was enormous. I carried that bear everywhere with me that day. I had to get it it’s own desk it was so big. Also one year for Valentine’s Day he made a scavenger hunt for me, that was cute! If I recall correctly I broke up with him (I was quite the heart breaker back then!), and I started dating another boy and Jake and I just never got back together. Back then I really thought we’d end up back together down the road. But obviously that didn’t happen, but I don’t mind! We were mostly acquaintances from then on, but I’ll always remember him as my first love!

Day 2. Nicknames

Nicknames… lets see, these are all the nicknames I’ve had and their explanations:

Kinz- Just a shortened version of my name. Nothin fancy!

Kimpi- This is a weird one. When my sister was in middle school she loved 50 Cent and his song P.I.M.P was popular, so my sister and her friends would say “that’s pimp”, etc. Well I was going to make my first email address and I asked my sister for help and she said “kimpi!” bc it sounded like pimp and Kinzee put together haha. She called me that for a while, or at least until 50 Cent wasn’t cool anymore.

knz- This was how I spelled my name on Myspace and some people would spell my name like this after a while.

Lil’ Blender- When my sister was in high school her friends called her Blender. And when they first met me they said my sister and I looked exactly alike and I was a mini version of her haha. So they always called me Lil Blender. The name stuck until my Freshman year, and then they all graduated.

Kinzinator- My friend Hunter calls me this. For my birthday my friends filled my room with balloons and wrote on all of them. Hunter was helping, and drew a picture of a very buff version of me with machine guns and grenades and named her “The Kinzinator”. I’d never met him until that night but he felt that this name was suitable!

Kissy- When my older brother had his first marriage I was the flower girl. After the wedding we were taking pictures of the whole family and wedding party. The photographer was foreign and had a strong accent. He was moving everyone around and asked me what my name was. I’ve always had a light voice and it’s hard for some people to hear, so imagine that when I was 6 or 7 years old! I told him my name was Kinzee and he said *in a spanish accent*  “okay, Kissy you move over here!” After that my family called me Kissy for a long time. To this day my cousin Jeremy still calls me by that name :)

Kinzee Shei- This isn’t really a nickname, its just my first and middle name. But my friend Brad (or Braddles as I call him) has always called me that because he thinks my name is cool :D

Japenese Cherry Blossom/Sunshine- Names my boyfriend calls me :) Japenese Cherry Blossom because I used to be obsessed with Bath and Body Works scent called Japenese Cherry Blossom. And Sunshine because it’s just something that has stuck with Jeff and I. You are my Sunshine is “our song” and so we call each other our sunshine :)

Day 1. Photo, introduce, 15 facts

So, I’m starting a 30 day blog challenge to get back into blogging. Here it goes folks

Howdy, I’m Kinzee :)

1. I’m in a sorority. Love, Honor, Truth. Phi Mu!

2. I’m a Biomedical Science major. And I’m hoping to become a Dental Hygienist!

3. I want to go to Del Mar in Corpus Christi for Dental School!

4. I will always put those I love before me. Sometimes it sucks for me, but I do it anyway

5. I’m a veryyyy forgetful person. I honestly think somethings wrong with me!

6. I’ve been with Jeffrey for almost 4 years now. All I can say is WOW. Its been such a long time, but its gone by so fast! I love him :)

7. I lovelovelovelovelovelove music :)

8. I rarely curse. Only when I’m a) hyper b) very mad

9. A phrase that I have some to live by (thanks to my mom saying it on a daily basis) is “this too shall pass”. Whatever you’re going through God will bring you through.

10. I’m a shy and antisocial person at first, but once I get comfortable around you I am a complete dork and super crazy. It’s always the shy ones :)

11. I’m a Texan, born and raised. Texas > all.

12. I have a kind of secret nerdy side that not a lot of people would think I would. I love Medieval things (books/games/shows), I played World of Warcraft before I got to college and had no time or money, I LOVE Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Harry Potter. I’m just a nerd at heart <3

13. I have a new found love for Justin Bieber. That is all.

14. My middle name not pronounced “she-eye”, it is “shay”

15. I’ve neglected my relationship with God for a long time now, and I’m realizing more and more that it needs to change and grow. I feel like a hypocrite when I sin and then ask God for forgiveness or claim His name. But I know I shouldn’t because I’m human, and I’m a sinner and He will always love me and forgive me. But that’s just how I feel and I acknowledge that I need to get over that mentality.

That’s all for today. I hope this challenge works out and I can stay on top of it, but I guess we’ll just see! Seeya

hmm :)

realizing a lot today how God has blessed me with 3 TRUE best friends. I don’t think many people can say that. I am truly grateful for them :)

Tattoo

My sister and I might be getting a tattoo together! Any ideas?

addition to my last post:

If it weren’t for the following people I wouldn’t be able to get through anything this past month:

My mom and dad <3

Jenn

Becky

Tiffany

Becca

Mrs. Caloway

Diane

I have all this bad karma coming my way apparently.

I just don’t even know what else could go wrong right now. I am being financially screwed in the ass right now. First off my roommate steals $1000 from me. I get the money back. I get a new debit card, it gets LOST in the mail. I haven’t had my own money since the new semester has started. Then my iphone gets stolen my some fucking teenage girls at the mall in Ft. Worth. Now I can potentially have my identity or other important information stolen from me. I’m so scared. When I’m finally able to spend my money I have to cough out $600 for my new iphone and pay my Phi Mu bill, which I havent been able to pay because Libbie had to screw that up. And now Jeff is having real problems and I’m trying to be strong for him and make him happy but that’s really hard. And he’s depressing me. It’s just like all these things are happening all at once and it’s stressing me out and making me so mad. I know I shouldnt be mad like this over materialistic things and I should be trusting God and putting it in His hands, but it’s a little overwhelming… I just want to cry but I’ve kept it together mostly. Idk I just need to vent and get my things straight. Hopefully it will all look up soon. I’m sorry for venting like this, but I needed to some how.
