I'm Taking My Chances.

School has started- or did it even end?

But I know what has happened. I endured many class periods of sitting uncomfortably in a metal chair, staring at the white walls and freezing the fat parts of my arms off, just thinking to myself, "Where, oh, where, has my summer gone?"

But I've found it out. I've been dead asleep since June 4th and just woke up Tuesday. That is the most practical, realistic theory I could come up with (the others were far too unrealistic and slightly too inappropriate to slap on the face of my blog).

My second thought as I walked into school, "By Jove! My clothes aren't good enough."

My second thought as I walked down the hall to Melville's class, "I bet John's telling him about the rolls."

My second thought as I walked into english honors, "and Lucia Lopez is in here! It's a trek family reunion. We're never sluffing this class, Dani!"

But...

This is going to be a year of taking chances.

Love, your barefooted blogger,

Brynnie

of notebook's and willow trees

Ammon (brother) brought me to realize something... I attach. I like a movie, book, actor, person's clothes, spot on the creek, etc. and so I watch, read, stalk, go, etc. again and again and again. Don't believe me? Well sweety, I watched this movie 8 times in 4 nights. No, I have no intentions to marry Noah. Noah and Allie are too cute together. I'm just marrying the movie, The Notebook.

P.S. I painted a picture of a willow tree while I was camping in... well, in a trailer park. But couldn't a trailer park be slightly romantic?

Sparkin'

Maddiey had me read this book called The Prairie Prince a while ago. Yes, I know, it sounds awfully cheesy and, well, it sounds as if it takes place on a prairie. We all know prairies are the least romantic of places (sorry to all ya prairie people, but it's true). But I loved the book and in it, they'd call kissing sparking. Maddiey and I loved that.

So, I was just thinkin' to my Self. "Self, I think that I would like to do some "sparking" myself someday." And so I put my plan to action and went out and kissed.... well, no, actually. I did no such thing. But it would have been a very dramatic and, hopefully, an extremely romantic blog post for you all!

strings and sealing wax

At times like these, I wish I really liked some boy. Now, you ask, what are 'times like these'? Well, these times.

At times like these, I really wish I had a yellow cardigan.

During moments such as this, I wish I could sneak a tiny glimpse of heaven.

Right now, I would like to pack a big suitcase with my favorite dresses and fly off to a house in the country.

And, I think I would like some bangs and a curly bun on top of my head.


But, I guess, some things are impossible.


A dragon lives forever but not so little boys.

Just you wait, I'll be in Europe

I really want to see this movie. I need to see more movies. One always needs to see more romance movies. Right, Maddiey? :)

I'm in Seattle right now. Plants are growing on the roofs because 'plants grow everywhere in Washington' and my Aunt Kimeree's yard is decorated with seashells. Seattle is beautiful on it's own, but it's much more beautiful to me because a dear friend loves it so much. Isn't it funny how that happens? Last night, in search of a Seattle moon, I found an orange sliver jutting in and out of the black clouds over the ocean. I wish I had a camera to capture it on. But I saved it on my mental memory card forever. It was so wonderful. 

sapphire and faded jeans

In heaven, I'm going to have fishes in jars like this hanging from my trees. When I open the jar, the fish will fly out. Turning into an enormous sapphire colored bird as it goes. 

And in heaven, there will be no mosquitoes. 

Let's name the zones, the zones, the zones. Let's name the zones of the open sea.

Barefooted as always, Brynnie
