just another story... obviously not the picture the story is based off but i think you'll get the picture haha
Jennings told me to make it perfect. I hated this magazine and editing these pictures. The whole industry was fake- they sold shit that was all airbrushed and cut apart to make the girls look like plastic dolls. Too bad I was the one who made everything look like that. As I stared at the large, glossy screen I couldn’t help but become wrapped around the images that appeared. The pictures were going to be vividly etched in my mind for a long time. For some reason, I couldn’t seem to let go of her face- it was as though it was going to be permanently burned into my thoughts. Her tawny colored hair whipped around her face, hanging against her porcelain skin. Greens, grays, and blues were spooled together to create a ribbon of colors in the irises of her eyes. Was the color azure blue? Or was is emerald green or dove gray? I couldn’t tell. A line of black eye liner rimmed the edges of her almond shaped eyes, complimented by smokey, black eye makeup and mascara that made her eye lashes look too long to be real. Her smile looked like it came from the toothpaste ad with full, pink lips that arched in two perfect bumps, separated in the center. She had long, silky hair that hung in loose curls around the edges of her face. A light cerulean blue, baby doll dress was held closely to her chest then flowed out, much like a wave when it crashes against rugged rocks on a coast line- when the colors wash out and just leave a frothy white and light blue mixture, throwing an explosion of the water into the air. Her body was sprawled across the rocks. She looked godly, almost supernatural. You never saw this kind of beauty. She extended her neck, a little arch was formed in her back and her perfectly sculpted face was tilted back. The girl closed her eyes, seeming to absorb the sun’s rays. I wished I could know her, figure out what she’s like. I wanted to know what made her tick- how she really felt about things. This girl looked confident, unstoppable. I traced the contours of her body with my eyes. Perfection. Each line looked painted, like she was some kind of masterpiece God had created to make the rest of us on this damn planet envy her. I could picture the camera clicking in my mind, snapping the images as she posed for the photographer. She knew her stuff. Her body twisted and curved, bending and molding herself into positions I’d never seen before. All for a few pictures. I accentuated the concave in her back, thinning her already tiny waist and smoothed out the top of the dress that wrapped around her chest. The lines were smooth and long, shaped perfectly. Plastic. A silver chain hung around her neck, falling over those perfect collar bones that formed two, fragile lines beneath her skin. The bones framed the silver, heart shaped pendant that rested against her skin. There was not a single freckle on her face or a blemish on her skin. I could see where a section of hair may have been blown by the wind, only to be immediately tucked back into place by the awaiting crew. Their job was only to make everything happen- get the snobby, hundred pound models their water, do their makeup, tie the little strings on the bikinis that were being modeled for Dolce and Gabanna’s new line, zipping up the dresses by Michael Kors and Versace, buckling on the thousand dollar heels by Jimmy Choo and making sure everything went as planned. I studied the picture a little harder. The girl looked exotic, her bronzed shoulders were pushed back as she arched her back much like a mermaid would in a movie as she basked playfully in the sunshine. Her statuesque beauty was thrilling. I let my eyes skim over the picture as I looked at it fondly. It was as though she was glowing. She was like a life sized barbie doll, someone who was too perfect to be real. It’s because she wasn’t. I smiled at the thought of the girl I remembered, knowing I would never see her again. That girl on the screen with the perfectly toned, slim body and proportioned features couldn’t be real. I had retouched every aspect of her image. Of course she looked better than before, how could she not. I couldn’t help but feel saddened by the fact that this extraordinary beauty could never be real, not in this world. I finally came to a conclusion. She was a goddess.
i know they say you can't go home again
i just had to come back one last time
ma'am, i know you don't know me from adam
but these hand prints on the front steps are mine
up those stairs in that little back bedroom
is where i did my homework and learned how to play the guitar
and i bet you didn't know that under that live oak
my favorite dog is buried in the yard.
i thought if i could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing
out here its like i'm someone else
i thought that maybe i could find myself.
if i could just come in, i swear i'll leave
won't take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me
mama cut out pictures of houses for years
from "better homes and garden" magazine
plans were drawn and concrete poured
and nail by nail and board by board
daddy gave life to mama's dream
i thought it i could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing
out here it's like i'm someone else
i thought that maybe i could find myself
if i could just come in, i swear i'll leave
won't take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me
you leave home, you move on
and you do the best you can
i got lost in this whole world
and forgot who i am
i thought if i could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing
out here it's like i'm someone else
i thought that maybe i could find myself
if i could walk around, i swear i'll leave
won't take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me
i got the Iphone 4 for Verizon and i must say... i love it!!! it is such a fun toy hahha i love the fact that you can have your phone, texting, email, internet, games, random apps, GPS, camera, etc etc etc all in one. it is so nice hahaha so if you are thinking about getting it...

We made a potato launcher in chemistry today. We took a picture of a guy Langlang didn't like from a football team and we shot chunks of potatps at it. We were learning about pressure so we made a potato launcher to demonstrate what happens with pressure. It was all good until people started launching potatoes at the ceiling and at the christian club posters on the door and at the girls working at the lab station by the door. We ended up walking out of class all covered in potato juice and laughing about who shot the potato and hit the football player he didn't like in the face with a huge chunk of potato haha normal day in 3rd period chemistry

valentine's day
what the hell is it. it's a day that revolves around love and flowers and candy hearts and chocolates. it's when guys do cheesy things for their girlfriends and when everyone runs around holding hands and kissing. unless you are single. then it is literally the one day of the year when everyone feels like shit if they dont have a "special someone" where you dont want to see all the little heart shaped candies and the flowers and hear all the romantic date plans. personally. i am not looking forward to valentine's day this year. i'm not really looking forward to being alone on a day where you are supposed to be loving someone.

tell me what you really see every time you look at me because i am beginning to wonder what i ever meant to you. please don't make me that girl... please don't make me the girl that everyone knows that you didn't really love. please don't make me see that you never really loved me. tell me why you said those things. tell me why i gave you everything i've got. tell me why you walked out and told me to wait for you and while i waited you moved on. tell me why you do these things to me because i am beginning to lose to a broken heart. i'm beginning to wonder and i'm falling apart.

it's amazing how something that you are so looking forward to can get ruined so easily. how people you thought you know became people you knew. it's amazing how someone can do something so stupid and not even apologize for ruining everything. its amazing how easy it is to make mistakes and the consequences that follow. its amazing when you see who people truly are, and how they are not the people you thought they were. it's amazing how someone can betray your trust in only a few short moments, how a few seconds can break your heart, how something that happens in such a short amount of time can cause you so much pain. its amazing how easy it is to lose someone you love.
