The Perks of Being Melody Jane. [i've been tagged; 10 FACTS.]

just finished reading 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower', a couple days ago. it took me only two days to finish. i loved it. it was so amazingly written, and the character of Charlie is, without a doubt, one of the most adorable and precious characters ever written. i wish i knew a boy like him. i'd be in love.

 

goodness, people certainly do enjoy tagging me. apparently, they like my facts, or something...? well, in any case, lots of people have tagged me. so, here are some more facts for all ya'll. embrace; enjoy.

 

10 Facts:

 

1. i've had over 10,800 photostream views. :)))

2. i'm not wearing nearly as much foundation/powder on my face, anymore. i don't feel like i need it; i'm feeling much more natural lately. i actually want to show my freckles, for once. and i feel better when i look in the mirror, and i'm able to think to myself, 'that's my face.' it's a wonderful feeling. it really is.

3. there are days, when i want something bad to happen to me; just for some excitement. that sounds really horrible... but it's true. some days, when things are really unamusing and bland, i'm like, 'hmm... i think i'd like to get hit by a car right now.' or, 'hm. i want to have a total, emotional break-down.' or, i want to get in some kind of trouble, just to get some more attention... gosh, that sounds wretched! but maybe some of you can relate to me... i don't know. i can't even imagine what it's like to want bad stuff to happen to me, when i'm not in that mood; but when i am in it, i want it so bad.

4. i want to be friends with everyone. why can't that be possible?

5. one time, i literally flew. just for several moments though. it was unbelievably windy one day; so i got a huge umbrella, went outside, opened it up, and held it high, waiting for a gust of wind. it came; and my feet lifted off the ground, for about 4 or 5 seconds. it was epic.

6. i HATED the new Alice in Wonderland... wanna know why? ahaa, believe me--i'll tell you. i've got quiiite a few good reasons for being opposed to it. despite the fact that i adore every other movie with Danny Elfman, Tim Burton, and Johnny Depp, involved.

7. i wish he and i could work. but we can't.

8. i want a pen-pal. and i am NOT even kidding. hand-written letters are absolutely blissful to me, in every way. do any of you want to be my pen-pal? please, let me know. cause i really, really want one. it'd make me so happy.

9. go ahead and laugh; but i want to discover a real, living mermaid one day... oh man. how ridiculously childish does that sound?

10. on Monday, while we were driving home, from California... i witnessed the most disurbing thing i've probably ever seen. it was a head-on collision car accident. i didn't see it actually happen; but we were stopped in the middle of the road, for about an hour, just a few cars behind the ones that got in the wreck. there were helicopters, ambulances, cops, fire-trucks--just everything. at first, before any of us saw the actual cars, we weren't really phased by it; cause we didn't know how bad it was. then, we saw a big truck drive past us, with one of the wrecked cars attached on the back.

the entire front part of the car, directly on the driver's side, was crushed. thoroughly destroyed.

it's been a long time since i've had such an immediate sob, at simply the sight of something. a piece of my heart died.

later, when we all started moving forward, we saw the other car that was being taken away. it was absolutely destroyed, just on the driver's side, too. there was a tire, in the window. it was 100% horrific.

one of the very first things that came to my mind, when i saw the first car, ruined--was that person's family.

and where they were going. if it was even important.

or if they were a boy, or girl.

or a wonderful person. or a horrible person.

or a pregnant woman.

or an engaged man.

 

because whatever they were... they were gone.

after a little while, the helicopters went away.

the ambulances went away; silently and slowly.

and heaven had at least one, new arrival.

 

i've been praying for those two, unfortunate people's familes, constantly... you all should do the same, if you could remember.

 

and i just sincerely hope and pray, to never see something like that, again.

 

cherish life, my friends.

for it is more precious, than we'll ever even begin to realize.
