A blog cultivated by Annabelle Barrow & she's kind of embarrassed about it, but not enough to stop posting and delete the thing.

7. What is your dream job, and why?

To work in a library. A really big public one that gets a lot of patrons. I would design the newletters and pamphlets and I would work solely in the YA section.  Also, every other tuesday I would host a little kids (5 & under) cupcake decorating class because that's what libraries need. More cupcakes. And I would do really awesome youtube videos to promote the library & then they would pay me to go to vidcon! For research!

Yesterday


All day yesterday I was so thirsty. I just kept thinking about how I was going to stop at burger king and get a LARGE coke. And maybe some onion rings. Or an ice cream.
When I finally got off work, I was like 'fuck that, I'm sleepy' & I just drove home. I drank two tall glasses of water right after I walked in the door and they were the most satisfying glasses of water. The large carbonated beverage would have been so disappointing. Also, it would have costed money that I shouldn't spend. I'm trying to be more conscious of my spending habits. I already know that I spend too much on food. I think that if I don't buy as much food then it's a win-win because I'll be saving money while at the same time eating less junk.
Then I cleaned the seats and carpets in my car. So I did really good at life yesterday.
The only bad thing is that I have this HUGE pimple on my chin. It's one of those painful nodules that never forms a whitehead and looks like I'm growing another head. I wish I was exaggerating.

6. What is the hardest thing you have ever experienced?

Truth be told, I don't know the hardest thing I've ever experienced. I have always been really great at blocking out terrible experiences. Maybe I just haven't experienced anything that was very hard at all & the hardest thing I've ever experienced was something really insignificant.
Nobody can really know.

4. List 10 things you would tell your 16 year-old self, if you could.


  1. Do NOT make out with anybody you work with. Don't.
  2. Do NOT make out with anybody that doesn't want to date you. In the same vein, don't make out with anybody that you don't want to date.
  3. Do your homework. It's horrible & stupid, but it will make you a better, more responsible person.
  4. Spend as much time with Caleb & Roshni & Melana as humanly possible. They are true friends. Do not take them for granted.
  5. Go to Gadsden State. You know you want to so just do it. Don't bother with Calhoun.
  6. Save 10% of every freaking paycheck. You will not regret it.
  7. Discover the band Walk The Moon & go to a bunch of their shows.
  8. Here's a joke: What's the temperature of a Tauntaun? Luke warm
  9. Here's another joke: What's brown & rhymes with Snoop? Dr. Dre
  10. Just be a better person, basically.

3. Describe your relationship with your parents.

It could be worse, I guess.


2. Describe 3 legitimate fears you have and explain how they became fears.

1. Dying - That's an obvious one. It's a common fear that plenty of people have. Sometimes I can forget that I'm going to die, but then sometimes it really freaks me out. I'm scared of dying in my sleep more that I am about dying accidentally in an accident. Which makes sleeping really scary, & it's sad because I love sleeping.
2. Infertility - I frequently forget to take my birth control at the same time every day & I'm pretty sure that only matters if you're having sex (& I'm not) BUT STILL, I have this fear that my misuse of those pills are making me sterile. I'm also just scared that it has nothing to do with birth control pills & I just won't be able to have kids. I'm not even sure if I want to have kids (You know the old saying "the dumb ones procreate because the smart ones know better" I just haven't figured out which kind of person I am yet), but I want to have the ability to have them. Totally irrational because I could have adopted children. But still.
3. Abusive relationship - I'm scared that I will marry a horrible person. I'm scared that I won't be able to see how terrible he is because I'll be so delusional with love. I'm scared that I'll marry a man like my father. I'm scared I'll never find a man who respects me. I'm scared that I'll never find a man.

On being productive

I knitted a thing. It looks like this.

It's a washcloth.


I also folded up this paper Rapunzel for my boss's daughter's birthday. It's kinda janky, but it took me forever.
