Unlimited Time

If I had unlimited time, I would totally learn how to do clay better. I am pretty good at it now but if I could improve my skills, I would. I would also learn how to blow glass because that is awesome. My cousin Sara blows glass and she is fantastic at it. It's no wonder that I'm so artistically inclined. I can count eight artists in my family that actually work and make a living off of being an artist. It's pretty cool. I wish that I could make enough money to live off of being an artist. Unfortunately, life is not always kind to people that want to be artists. It's hard for people to make money off of it but if I had unlimited time, I would do my best to make a name for myself as an artist.

Hudson Honors

Here are my nominees for the Hudson Honors:

Most interesting part of class: I think the most interesting part of class was all of the books that we read. I loved Catcher in the Rye, 1984, and Lord of the Flies.

Least favorite part of class: my least favorite part of class is blogs. I am better at midweeks now but this year I am really lacking on blogging. I am so glad that I am done.

Hardest I've laughed in this class: I laughed most when Rylan would get us completely off topic. Rylan and Hudson got completely into an argument about which way quotation marks go. It was ridiculous.

Favorite memory of this class: When Jake and Dylan got into the time and space debate for two days straight. It was hilarious and I still do not know what the real answer was.

Best thing about Hudson as a teacher: the best thing about Hudson is that she can be like a kid with us but she's also an adult in her own creepy, childish way. 

Anything Hudson could do to make this class better: I honestly think that there isn't much to improve on. This is my favorite class and I wouldn't change anything. 

Any final comments for Hudson: she's the best teacher I've had and this year has been so much fun for me. Hudson is one of the people that I connected best with this year and I would like to thank her for being a great sport and putting up with all of my complaining. I'm so thankful to have her in my life and we should totally hang out when I graduate.

Words from the Wise

Okay so this week we have words from the wise. The great seniors of 2017. First of all, you must learn this saying and stick by it. "Be polite. Stay to the right." STAY TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STAIRS NO MATTER WHAT. YOU WILL BE TRAMPLED IF YOU DO NOT. This is vitally important to surviving until your senior year. Another thing. Let me tell you a story. Hannah and I were in the computer lab one day and Mr. Spangler came in with some of his students. The kids sat down at their computers and saw that a couple other seniors besides us were in there. The other seniors were playing games and Spangler's kids decided that they could too. Obviously the kids got in trouble because they were not working. They tried to use the seniors playing games as an excuse to play games themselves. Spangler looked at them and said, "They're seniors. They can do whatever they want." Remember that when you become seniors. At least when Spangler is in the lab across from Hudson's, you can do virtually whatever you want. I hope these things help you survive your senior year. It will be hard and at times it will suck. Like hardcore. But you will get through it. I promise you. It will fly by before you know it.

Senior Wills

Okay. So I'm friends with many of the juniors. They are all like kids to me and I love them dearly. If I had to make a senior will and leave things to them, I would leave my seat in Hudson's room to Taylor. She deserves it. I have sat in that seat for two years now and I took it when Chase Miller left because he was my best friend. I love that seat in Hudson's room. It is my favorite place to sit in the whole school. I would leave my computer in Miss Krohn's room to Shania because I hope that she can make great projects like I did with my groups in Senior Seminar. I would leave my seat in art class to Timothy who helped me so much with the art aspect of the play during my senior year. These kids have touched my heart more than I can even explain. I love them like family. They are some of my best friends and I am honestly really sad to leave. I know in my heart that I will never leave no matter where I am in life. I love this town and I love the people that I have met here. Washburn kids are family. Washburn is my home.

Dream Room

If I had my very own dream room, I would put all of the art stuff that I want in it. I would want a kiln and an unlimited supply of clay. I want glazes, paints, canvases, and endless supply of brushes, too. I want a drafting table so that I can do architecture. I want all of my grandpa's old drafting stuff. I want prismacolor markers, colored pencils, and pastels. I want a bunch of pastels and charcoals. I also want all of the right types of paper that I would need for all of my painting, charcoals, colored pencils, and such.

Over The Rainbow

If I were to get transported to a different part of the world, I would love to go to Vienna, Austria. It's a beautiful city and I've wanted to go there since I was about 12 years old. I love the way that the mist falls over the streets and the eerie way that the streetlights glow over the roads. It's so pretty and I love how creepy it looks. Besides that, it's a really beautiful city. There are a lot of tourist attractions. Honestly, I would rather walk around the parks and the small city streets with little shops lining them. That would be my ideal place to be.

Villains

"I hear her house is wrapped in cat skins."

Sandra was always jumping onto the bandwagon. She thinks our math teacher is a super villain on the weekends. Obviously she's not and Sandra is insane. I've never really understood why Sandra thought things like that about people until we saw it happen. We watched our math teacher lose it on some kid. You'd think that because of how nice she is. I know that sometimes people just snap but this was different. Our teacher freaked out on this kid for no reason. She threw a desk at his head.

We never actually found out what happened to her after she was fired but I can only assume that she is making some evil plan to overtake the world after her breakdown is over.

Warning! Prone to.....

WARNING!

I am prone to random outbursts of song. I swear, we live in High School Musical. With Dylan as my best friend, I often find myself singing pop songs, songs from musicals, or pretty much anything that we feel like singing. Right now in chorus, we are singing Uptown Funk and I won't give up and after class, we usually end up singing our parts and trying to harmonize. It is so much fun to randomly sing all day and not care if people are judging me. Music is a huge part of my life and I don't think I will ever stop singing.

Gender Stereotypes

I honestly break a lot of gender stereotypes. I do not wear pink. I hate pink. It's gross and degrading that people think that a girl's color is pink. Colors should not be gender specific. I think it is stupid that girls are also supposed to listen to sappy girly music. That's stupid. I listen to Fall Out Boy, twenty one pilots, Eminem, Panic! at the Disco, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Hollywood Undead, My Chemical Romance and a lot of other "raunchy" (the word my grandma used when I showed her Eminem) or depressing artists. I love to break stereotypes. Two years in a row, I wore jeans and a t-shirt to basketball homecoming because I just didn't feel like wearing a fancy dress. I hate stereotypes and I will do everything I can throughout my life to break them down and destroy them.

Super Everything

If I had to celebrate something to a mass effect, I would celebrate the fact that I haven't killed anyone yet. My fuse has been really really short lately and it would be so much easier to just resort to murder. I know that to a lot of people, that seems like something that is fairly easy but for me some days, it's a tough feat not to murder.

I am totally kidding. I could never actually hurt anyone. I may get really angry but I am never going to kill. I could never kill. I have problems killing the chickens when they get old or sick on the farm.

End of the World

I think the end of the world will be a lot like Orwell's 1984. The government will be monitoring everything that people do, say, and think. It terrifies me. I could see scientists making robots to take our places as well. I think that it is a very real possibility that robots would take over and have a mind of their own. There would be a rebellion because every time there is a threat, people generally resort to rebellion to stand up for themselves. I think that some of the higher scientists would be opposed to the robots and they would put together an atomic bomb and nuclear weapons and destroy the world because it has gotten so corrupt and evil.

Love Song

My bud, Chris, loves Hollywood Undead. We both love them and our favorite song to sing together is Dead in Ditches. 
DISCLAIMER. DO NOT LOOK IT UP AT SCHOOL. IT IS SOOOOOOO INAPPROPRIATE. 
I love it because it is a great song and I love the fact that Chris is so weird just like me. We sing it together and we totally turn up to it. It is about killing girls and leaving them in ditches. There are some very inappropriate innuendos and non innuendos that say exactly what they mean.... I love it though because it is honestly kind of funny.

Act Now!

A few years ago, my uncle got everyone in the family a snuggie for Christmas. I think I ended up with four snuggies that yea. It was the worst year of my life.... Actually the snuggie was dumb. I never used them and when I did, I felt like I was choking so I wore them backwards. They are literally backwards bathrobes. Something about the material they were made of  made me want to puke when it touched my skin. It was weird. I have weird things like that that make me nauseas. If anyone wants a snuggie, I think I may have a couple left still.

A picture is worth a thousand words

I use crystals to help balance myself emotionally. I have a lot of negativity in my life and I use crystals to cut that out. Different crystals do different things. Quartz crystals help you block out the negative thoughts and they help a lot with anxiety. I found my religion through crystals. I was so lost before. After I started using crystals, I decided that I do want to be a Wiccan. I am so happy with my religion. People think it's weird but it works for me.

This one is some D&D art that I found. I play dungeons and dragons and it is an important part of my life. My character is an elf. Not a normal elf either. She's pretty great. She has fought in wars and killed a dragon. Now she is just a thief, stealing things just to get by. The group found her in the woods and she helped kill a monster that they were having problems defeating. There was still some tension with my character and some others in the group. Eventually, I killed the dragon and we won the campaign and we didn't all die.

So Hannah Lynn says that sunflowers remind her of me for some reason. I don't really know why but it's all good. I just really love sunflowers and Hannah is totally right. I don't know why I connect with them but I do. They are so pretty and bright. I just love them.

This picture speaks to my soul. I want so badly to have been born in the 60's. I want to dress like a hippie and follow bands on tour and see all of my favorite bands live. I think in a past life, I was probably a hippie. I bet I went to Woodstock and got to hear all of those amazing artists. I long so much for a big revamped school bus, live music, and no cares in the world.

This is a picture from the Umphrey's McGee concert on my birthday last year. It was the coolest concert I have ever been to. It was a real hippie concert. I was so happy. I had a week long celebration for my birthday and it was amazing.
