Talking With Jacob

So I decided to interview my brother Jacob today. He's a mixture of sarcasm, a sweet disposition, a sensitive soul, coolness, immaturity (but sometimes he can be mature), annoying-ness, humor, insightfulness, brains, middle school-ness, with a pinch of "I've put away childish things because I am now 13 -_- ... and btw I want a light-saber for Christmas :D".


Q. What would you do if someone stole your socks right off your feet?
A. I'd be like, "Why'd you steal my socks?! I'll mess you uppp!"


Q.Ninja skills or super powers?
A. Both. Because ninja skills and super powers are like the same thing.


Q. The most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?
A. You asking me all these questions. -_-


Q. Favorite thing about yourself?
A. I don't know, IDK if I have a favorite thing ... why are you asking me all these questions?!


Q. Something you wish you could change?
A. All these questions.


Q. Favorite kind of shoes?
A. Converse...


Q. If you could talk to anyone in the world right now, who would you talk to?
A. Anyone but you :) 

Every Little Seed

My Grandma stood in front of me, her eyes searching the trees above. Little flecks of sunshine fluttered like little butterflies on the ground. She held a twig full of seeds in her hand. My Grandma looked at me and said, "Savannah, every seed is a tree ... every little seed. That's why I spread them everywhere."

After she spoke, those words rung in my head. I couldn't stop thinking about them. I just thought that was a really beautiful thing to say. Those words have a really special meaning, whether she meant them to or not. What she said is very true, and I think I'll always remember it. I think one day it'll come in handy. 

It's funny, how little things you say (or don't say) leave the most profound imprints upon people's minds. I don't think Grandma realized how wise those words she said were, I doubt she even remembered 5 minutes later x) But I think I'll remember them for the rest of my life:) 

This kinda makes me want to be the kind of person who paints the world different colors with their random thoughts ... I wanna leave everything a little less black and white then it was before ... spread every little seed that I can :) Thanks Grandma.

sad :(

some days I just feel like this  ⇡ :( 

It's a big world out there, and it's hard to feel significant in it. But there's really no choice but to keep on going if you wanna feel awesome again ...                                             

Charlie

meet Charlie bunny

This is Charlie. He's a sweet bunny that likes to eat cherios and carrots. He thinks he's the king of England and always expects a good neck massage in exchange for having the privilege of being in his presence. We bought him from a crazy bunny lady that asked us if we'd rather buy a goat instead. Charlie is moody, and makes a distinct face to let us know when he's grumpy. He's extremely lovable when he feels like it, and kicks his cage at night when he can't sleep. He's playful like a dog and kind of snobby like a cat. Likes to chew on my shoes and headphone wires, hates baths, is an extremely light sleeper, always wins no-blinking contests, likes to watch tv, and puts up with my six year old brother carrying him around like a baby all day:) Oh, and did I mention he's super cute?

The name I got stuck with:)

Savannah. Not too much to a name like that. It makes me think of eating tuna sandwiches on a hot summer day. I have no idea why. It should probably remind me of some place in Africa instead, with all the lions and cheetahs running around in the hot sun. Anyways, I’ve never decided if I like it or not. People like to replace your middle name with banana when you have that name. Not that I mind or anything. Sometimes when I’m bored I say the name over and over to myself. The more I say it, the more I realize ... Savannah is a weird name. But it’s the name I got stuck with, so I might as well make it look good(: 

Song Cycle

It's a sad day when the last part of the cycle comes along ... a perfectly good song finally left alone in the reject space of your ipod, all because you just loved it too much at one point. 

Beard Alphabet?!

Why didn't they teach our alphabet to us like this in kindergarden? :) I think I would have learned alot faster ...
