Writing with a Purpose: Summer Edition

NEWS!! I pierced my nose. By myself. At 1:45 in the morning this morning. Without any numbing or actual piercing kits.

Pretty intense.

Ew I bet you didnt know (unless you pierce for a living) that when you get your nose pierced, you have to go through three layers of skin. I didn't even shed a tear. I honestly thought it was going to hurt a lot, but honestly it didn't hurt much at all. You might be wondering "Who in hell pierces their nose at 1:45 AM?" Well in all honesty, I was bored and I had been wanting a nose piercing for a long time no. I didn't want to pay to get it done, so I decided to do it on my own. I didn't even ask my parents for permission that's the wild part. My mom's reaction was just "Wow! You did it by yourself? You didn't numb it or anything? Oh my god, you're dad is gonna get mad!"

My mom was exactly right, my dad did get mad. I had asked my parents in the past before, my mom had said yes and my dad said no but honestly I just really wanted it. How mad can you get over a piercing? All you have to do is take it out. Anyway, he had said "If you ever do something behind my back knowing I said no, ever again, we're going to have problems." I know that would be the last warning I'll ever get on the subject so looks like I'm just going to hold back on any other "wants."

In other news, Today I made amends with one of my best friends. Her name is Julisa. We haven't been friends for quite some time now, mostly because there were some problems that began to surface towards the end of our relationship. They were based off "changing" within each of us and both of us feeling stabbed in the back, even though some situations were misunderstood. With that being said, true friends always come back to one another. Honestly, through our non-friendship, there would be times were I missed her and would remember our good times. She's the kind of friend that every time we're together, we laugh hysterically. I think it's cause we are both just goofballs and we vibe so well. I missed that. Of course, I had way to much pride to go back and try to make amends cause I felt wronged. Finally today we talked everything out. EVERYTHING. I was so glad that we FINALLY talked everything out. We finally got to tell each other things that we left unsaid which is really important to me. We both said our sorrys and things went back to normal. We facetimed and she watched through my piercing. We talked til almost 4 AM and later in the day I went over her house. It literally felt like nothing had changed. It was just like all the billion times I had been there before. I was kind of quiet cause although everything was the same, I was still pretty surprised I was actually there. It's like it was the same but new, hard to explain. When her parents came back home, her mom hugged me and told me "Don't do that again! Don't leave us for a long time like that!" It felt good to here her say that.

I stood there till 11 PM I think. I had a good time. We laughed, ate out of a watermelon, and just chilled. We, of course, will get back into our old ways of hanging out all the time and I couldn't be more excited!

Saw my love today. My morning started off with me waking up late to get ready. I took a long time to shower and ended up having to get dressed last minute because they were already outside my house.

When we got to his house, I had some cereal since I didn't eat at home. After I ate, we sat on the couch and waited for Casey to get ready. She took a while so during that time, Brenon and I hung out in the living room and watched tv. Of course, reuniting him was great. We kissed, bothered each other, and he tried pushing me off the couch (he succeeded) which was the most hilarious thing ever. I was laughing hysterically, now that I'm thinking back, I'm laughing to myself because it was that funny to me. But then again, I find almost everything funny.

Finally, she was ready and we all hopped into the car. His grandma came along because she wanted to stop at Barnes and Noble to get some book. When we finally got to the mall, we stopped at a show store first for Brenon because his birthday in 9 days and they were part of his gift. He got some Lebron's and since I needed some new sneakers, I decided to buy myself some New Balances. I paid in cash, which felt pretty cool. They weren't that expensive either, which was great. I also went to Papaya, bought a grey dress, a basic grey shirt, and a cute, flowy, red spaghetti strap shirt.

We then stopped at Forever 21 (one of my favorite stores). I bought 3 tank tops, some shades, and 2 nail polishes (one is for matte coats!!)

Honestly, I didn't buy much but somehow I started with 150 and ended up with 12 dollars. Money goes fast, man.

The rest of the day I spent with Brenon "caked up" while watching movies and such. We ate hamburgers for dinner, they all know that's my favorite. Overall, it was a Saturday well spent.
My mom picked me up around 9:30 PM and took me and my siblings to a frozen yogurt shop. What a great way to end the night. As of now, I'm home, super tired due to the lack of sleep I get. Although as tired as I am right now, I'm trying to think of what to write for new fiction book I want to start! I want it to be something good that will attract people, so I'm giving it a lot of thought. It will be coming soon!
