Peter Pan's Dog

It's amazing to me how my dog still loves me. I recently decided to attach some leaves to his collar, and he waited patiently as I did so. This was the outcome:

He looks so adorable like he could be Peter Pan's dog. His leaves stayed on over night surprisingly enough.

Today, I went to a bluegrass festival about a half an hour from where I live. It was tons of fun. I went my friend and her mom. I even went to the homecoming game last night. I think it makes my dad happy when I go out and do teenager stuff. I only participate in school activities because it does make him happy. It's not that he doesn't like me being my own person, but I think it's more of I'm actually getting out of the house once in awhile. I think he gets worried about me staying at home with nothing but my own thoughts to listen to. I don't blame him. Leaving me alone with my thoughts for too long is an extremely bad idea.

New Kid

I made it through the first full week of my senior. I already feel exhausted and wish the school year was over. I don't want to go school or do any of my college applications. I wish it was all over already. I just want to be in college having skipped this year entirely.
My friend Tia and I started eating lunch with the new kid, his name is Chris. He's a senior from the school that I was going to go to this year but could not. Chris seems alright, but I don't know him well enough to make a full assessment of him. It would be easier know who used to hang out with before he came here. He is in band and takes nerd classes so he can't be that bad.
I'm still talking to Henry. My friend Tianna wants us to be friends with benefits. I don't want that. Henry does, I think. He wants to hang out Monday I'll find a way to get out of it or hang out for a little bit then go home. It's hard for me to find the time to hang out on school days. I have homework every night, and I've started making dinner on Mondays and Thursdays. Tuesdays I have Gorge Strings and Sinfonietta. Thursdays I have lessons from 3:00-5:15. Mondays and Wednesdays are the only days I have that I can do homework. I'll tell him around 5 that I have to go home so I can start dinner. I do normally start dinner around that time. I'm hungry by that time, and my dad usually gets home a few minutes after I finish making dinner. I really don't want to hang out with Henry at all for a number of reasons. I don't even know why I'm talking to him. I guess I'm lonely and want someone to talk to. I don't know. I kinda feel like a zombie right now. Almost as if I'm not the one living my life. Someone else is.

1 Year Anniversary

I would just like to say that today is my one year anniversary since I started this blog. I went back and read my very post today: http://staholbrook.blogspot.com/2013/09/winter-season-of-dead-things.html
My dad does have a dark sense of humor, but I have found that, I, myself have been growing a darker sense of humor just over the last year.
Anyways, back to present day. Last night I went and saw The Avett Brothers. Absolutely fantastic and I think way better than the first time I saw them. Not that the first wasn't amazing but this time had more energy probably due to the fact that it was outside. Tianna was supposed to go with us, but she couldn't so much drama in her life brought an anxiety attack. I don't know why anyone would forego a chance to see The Avett Brothers. I know I wouldn't. We ended uo taking my brother's girlfriend instead. I think she had fun besides the guy that kept inching in front of her because he was so drunk. Some lady behind me kept jumping around, and she ended up running into me. She was kind of annoying. Occasionally, I could feel her hair brush against me which honestly I think is one the grossest things ever. Some girl in my health class on Friday has hair extensions, and she kept getting her hair on my desk where my arm was. God, it was disgusting.
