Just wanted to let y'all know that I'm doing great! I got A's and B's midsemester, cool classes, etc. Sometimes I get an ask asking if I'm okay, and whenever that happens I wanna post like this :) I hope you all have a great thanksgiving!! :D

Do not worry, all is indeed well with me. I’m so sorry for the unanswered asks in my inbox; I logged on today, went to my settings, and saw that for whatever reason, the email notification for new asks was turned off. Damn. I have turned it on now, so I should be notified of any new asks, fan mails, or mentions.

I’m so sorry if that technical error made you worry in anyway, i’m so sorry. I hope you are doing well too!

I don’t think i’ll be popping back up on this blog yet for personal reasons, please understand. At some other, later point, i’ll be back. But I just wanted to let you all know that i’m doing fine. I wish you all warms hugs and kisses <3

No worries, I am alive.

And I am so, so, so sorry for worrying anyone. Seriously, I am really really really sorry if my absence worried anyone, so sorry.

Basically, from the advice of several friends, I took a break from tumblr for mental health reasons. I am fine, no worries! Just needed a break.

I intended to come back in a week or so, but then it just kept going on. And on. And on. And on. And ooonnnnnnnnn

So it became an unannounced hiatus of sorts, which is the worst kind of hiatus, very rude.

I was going to answer any asks that came my way so that people wouldn’t worry, and I did answer some. However, I had it so that I would get an email whenever I get an ask, but some of them I did not get emails on so I did not know and did not check my inbox. So sorry for that strange little technological issue.

I happen to log into this blog today and there are three asks I didn’t know about, asking if i’m okay. Oh my god. I’m really sorry for the worry from that.

I’m not saying that i’m back on this blog, because school and a bunch of other things are taking up a lot of my time.

I’m doing well, and that’s good. I hope you all are too and if you’re not, its not your fault.

You’re so, so wonderful and I am so glad to know you.

If you are reading this post, I love you. You are a dear friend to me.

If we’ve never talked and you just happen to follow my blog, uh, well, a hug for you anyways, if you are okay with it. Maybe a nice, friendly smile to you.

You are all awesome. I’m still gonna be gone for a while, but this time I am making sure to tell you all that I am okay and it is going to be okay.

I love you, friends. I hope you have a wonderful day <3

FOR PEOPLE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18-25!! IF YOU WANTED TO TRAVEL BUT YOU HAVE LITTLE MONEY, I RECCOMEND USING THIS SITE!

studentuniverse.com

It’s a site for students to travel cheap! This screenshot above is the price ranges for a flight from Columbus, Ohio to London, England one way trip for March. I set ot up as an example.

AS AN AVID TRAVELER, this price is actually quite amazing! One year, i got my (formerly $2000) round about ticket to Japan for only $800! DO YOU FUCKERS KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO TRAVEL ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD FOR THAT CHEAP.

It’s commercial air flight, but that’s not so bad when you CAN ACTUALLY TRAVEL WITHOUT GOING INTO DEBT. HALLELUJA.

So i reccomend this site for all!

REBLOG THIS AND SPREAD THE WORD!

I BET THERE ARE TUMBLR FRIENDS WHO WANTTO MEET EACH OTHER! THIS MAY HELP!

This needs more notes.

I PHYSICALLY CAN’T NOT REBLOG THIS WHEN IT COMES UP ON MY DASH

IT’S TOO COOL

It’s called Winterguard. It’s a sport. Those girls are marching band color-guard girls during the summer touring season, and during the winter they compete against other color-guard teams to music. Costumes, props, mats, everything has to be carried onto the gym floor and then taken back away and counts as part of your performance time. 

So when Family Guy or other popular media makes fun of color-guard girls, it pisses me off. We are not rejected cheerleaders. We are what you see above. We kick ass. We spin rifles and flags and sabers. 

YOU GO GIRLS!!!

Does anyone else have like several songs that they love but are constantly skipping because the atmosphere has to be just right and you have to be able to completely immerse yourself in it for those few minutes without any distractions

I was just thinking this. She actually takes the children back to visit their family in their home country and they study about their own cultures. She isn’t one of those white people trying to assimilate her non-white children. 

She doesn’t use her kids as props and accessories, and she loves and cherishes them all equally it looks like.

Not to mention how she lets John (Shiloh prefers to be called John) dress and act how they like

Also, I’m pretty sure her wedding dress has her kids’ drawings on it, which is just unbelievably adorable.

it does have her kids drawings on it, they also helped to write the vows and Maddox the eldest boy made the cake with his friends, which is probably why he looks so nervous in the picture of them cutting it.

Every single thing I hear about this wedding makes me so happy even though they’re complete strangers to me because it just seems so joyful.

I remember reading a while ago that when they hire nannies, they have a nanny from each child’s country of origin, who is fluent in their country’s native language, and can teach not just the individual child but the whole family about that country and culture. It’s really incredible how non-assimilative they’ve made their household.

I don’t reblog shit about celebs.. but this is pretty cool.

A Message to All Boys:

Wearing eyeliner doesn’t make you “girly” or “gay” a lot of girls actually find it attractive. If you wanna put concealer on that pimple go ahead. It doesn’t make you less of a man. Makeup is not intrinsically feminine. Don’t let society’s screwed up gender roles stop you from expressing yourself.

This is so mind-numbingly simple to execute, and it will block a whole IP address, which means that anons cant make new profiles to send more hate.
