Growth and Growing Up.

by

Lately I’ve decided that I’ve only lost or become less close to people that were only toxic to me. I didn’t realize that at first, but now I know I’m better for it. The people that continually judge you based on your past or drag you back there do not deserve your present.
I will not lie and say I am always a nice person because I’m not. I am short tempered and stubborn as I’ll get out. HOWEVER, I’ve been trying to be better about that for a total of six months, and my old friends did nothing but continually say negative things about me. After 3 months of continually being called a b**** by my friends I decided that maybe silence was the most powerful thing I had. And so I was silent.

It turned out that I had been the only person trying to maintain these friendships even with my busy work and school schedule… Without me initiating things my friends and I were no longer even talking.

For about a month I resented them, and was sad to have lost such great friends that I had had for the past few years. Now all we had was a few mediocre conversations here and there. In fact we don’t even really know each other anymore, and anytime we get together everything is forced. It didn’t even take college to drift. Merely a shift of my own direction for my own personal health.

Now I’m less bitter because I realize it was crucial for these people and I to grow apart for me to grow at all. I feel much lighter now with new friends, and happier. I have surrounded myself with very positive people and no longer have to hear negative things about myself.

I made this blog in the hopes that my NBN lovers that are having troubles dealing with washed up friendships may realize it’s for the best.

XOXO
A much healthier, happier, friendlier Nealie.

P.S. I love you.

Why it’s best to keep teenagers attended…

by

Today my teacher was out of our class to do something (I forgot what he told us.).
So this atheist kid in my class starts doing some sort of demon summoning ritual. Who does that in science class.

I’ve probably crossed myself discretely 37 times in this class. And I keep quoting scriptures.

What is going on?

It’s cool because if anything bad happens a guy across the room has a super cool bible.

This is why you can’t leave a class of teenagers alone nowadays. He googled a random demon calling ritual! Google is enabling children…

XOXO
Nealie. 🙂

P.S. Don’t summon demons?

The Perks Of Being a Bus Driver.

by

Well well well, the blog drops late again. Predictable.

PLOT TWIST:

I started with the topic that got the smallest percentage of votes. COUGH0%COUGH.

I took a page out of those crazy smart T.V. series coordinators book’s and came up with this. This way you are all addicted to this series. (On the bright side you are not addicted to cocaine.)

Hey y’all, this here is the perks uh bein’ a bus driver.

I know what you all must be thinking, there are no legitimate perks to being a bus driver.

Well you have never been more wrong my blog reading, brow furrowing fans.

Image

That cartoon man driving the cartoon bus full of cartoon kids through the cartoon town is a prime example of the actual perks of being a bus driver.

– For one, that man is surrounded by many kids, he has probably picked up a second language by now.

– He can say that he chauffeurs many grade A human beings around.

– It is easier to get a date if you can say that you drive a large yellow rectangular vehicle for a living.

– He probably see’s a lot of free high school sporting events. (If the coach can’t drive a bus that is.) 

– On more than one occasion he has been told good morning more often and a greater number of times than you and myself darling reader. That’s right. Jealousy to the core.

– He does not have to pay for pay-per-view boxing. There’s gotta be at least one fight on that bus a week. Two on a good week.

– He has tools on that bus designed specifically for vomit clean up, now think about your job. wouldn’t it be better with vomit specific cleaning utensils?

and finally

– He is officially the man most likely to be jacked by Adam Sandler.

In conclusion there are no perks to being a bus driver.

(Besides vomit specific cleaning tools. Focus on the big issues people. The big issues.)

XOXO

Toodles.

P.S. LOVE THE BUS DRIVING AMERICANS CAPICE? (Please pretend there is an accent over that last e?) coughiloveyoucough

Did you guys notice my layout background change? Well it happened. Haaaaaaay background, everybody look! Wooo! Background celebration!

We’re here to talk about hipsters. I’m a self proclaimed hipster okay? Okay. I love you. I’m going to give you the lowdown. All of my picture sources will be listed at the bottom. 🙂 Without further ado, the hipster:

Hipster: n. (hïpstēr) (<<<totally made that pronunciation thing up.)
A person that has a different outlook on life. Generally rejects "main stream" reads, music, fads. Closely related to the Indie/bohemian vibe. "Soft Grungeish" feel. Appreciates vintage things. Does not appreciate triangles as much as society thinks. (Not even inverted ones…) Mostly just a very chilled out person that MAY or MAY NOT love tea. (Seriously not every hipster is in love with tea…)

Hipster Interests:

Not. Just. Triangles.?

20130722-123117.jpg

On the Bright Side I Am Not Addicted to Cocaine.

by

Hello Hello Hello my beautiful little NBN birdies.
I was fiddling around on le Tumblr (Which is also nothingbutnealie in case you were wondering darlings.) when I came across something a girl named Sydnee reblogged. (Her user is outersp-aces in case you were wondering again.) (You’ve really got to stop wondering it’s getting me all side tracked.) (Back on topic…) Anyway, her post was just text that said “On the bright side I am not addicted to cocaine.” So this girl right here got to thinking I should share it all with you. I’m going to teach you the correct usage of the phrase “On the bright side I’m not addicted to cocaine.”

Now a few of you may have already heard this phrase before, or maybe it’s reference I don’t get, or hey,… Maybe I’m as lame as everyone thinks I am. Which is plausible.
*Stands awkwardly in front of crowd* *Sniffs* *Pushes up glasses* *Runs away*

JUST GO WITH IT ANYWAY.

This is how you use said phrase. 🙂

EXAMPLES YO:

I went bankrupt today… on the bright side I am not addicted to cocaine.
My dog ate every pair of underwear I own… on the bright side I am not addicted to cocaine.
I was banned from my favorite Italian restaurant today… on the bright side I am not addicted to cocaine.
Scooby Doo reruns were discontinued… on the bright side I am not addicted to cocaine.
The sound of music completely shattered my ear drums last Tuesday and my hospital bill is out of this world… on the bright side I am not addicted to cocaine.
Today my fish ran away from home because he couldn’t stand the amount of hairspray I use on a daily… on the bright side I am not addicted to cocaine.
My only friend is my refrigerator… on the bright side I am not addicted to cocaine.

So when your car breaks down, it rains on your parade, and your social life drops off the plateau of Decent Friend Land, just think on the bright side you are not addicted to cocaine.

POLL TIME:

Disclaimer: This phrase does not actually apply if you are in fact addicted to cocaine.

XOXO
Not addicted to the cocaine Nealie.

Roller Coaster Speed Dating.

by

20130718-001328.jpg

On my way home from New Mexico, I listened to the Mix 100. A Lubbock radio station.
They play all the same things as 106.1. In the middle of my jam sessions there are these gross things called commercials.

They’re these things that some jerk invented to sell you things you don’t need, and give you more “first world problems” to whine about.
Examples:
•”A toaster oven potato peeler!? $20.00 at Wal Mart!? Put that on the shopping list pronto!”
•”Ugggggghhhhhh all this free music coming out of my car’s radio while I’m on the way to get my $7.00 coffee is being interrupted by commercials!!! *disregard hobo struggles* *disregard life struggles* *disregard poverty*”

BACK ON TOPIC!
Among the boring commercials talking about back to school, dream vacays, etc… Was a commercial about Roller Coaster Speed Dating.

What is Roller Coaster Speed Dating?

Glad you asked. For X amount of dollars you can reserve your spot (10 girls, and 10 guys) for the coaster of love! Oooooh, ahhhhh. So compelling. You ride the coaster 10 times, each time with a different partner. All the while screaming, crying, vomiting, and getting to know one another on a very intimate level.

Are there any cons to Roller Coaster Dating?

Do bees like the smell of Ed Hardy Perfume? No really… Do they?
Is the answer is yes. Then I guess so.
When was the last time anybody got on a roller coaster with a stranger and got to know them well enough to be thinking about a second “date”? Never.

THE PROS TO ROLLER COASTER SPEED DATING!

If the guy you’re riding with screams like a female the entire time, he is automatically ruled out and there is no need to over think it ladies! Or if you thought it was really funny then I guess like… Marry him.

In short… Just regular speed date, or you could go on a regular date, okay?

You learned something new today, you’re welcome.

Sign me up buttercup.

XOXO
