The Real Introduction

I didn't really introduce myself in my last post! Silly me! You're probably all sitting there like wtf is this girl talking about?! 

So my name is Stefanie! Hello there! Nice to meet you! I'm 16 years old and I'm turning 17 next week! That's really scary to think about...ugh. Seventeen....so much closer to eighteen. And college. And life. NOOOOOOOO!

Ah sorry. Life just attacked me. Anyway. I go to the best school in the ENTIRE world. I'm not going to tell you what it is, because there's crazy stalker people out there who would hunt me down and whatnot. So I'll just tell you that it's an art school and it's so amazing that you can't even fathom it. You can't. It's not possible. Don't try. You'll explode.

Anyways....I plan on going into film and graphic/web design when I'm older. It's really fun! Stressful, but fun. 

What else may I share about the wonderful life of Stefanie? Well, I love anime :) Is that something? Yes, it is. (I'm talking to myself, is that weird?) Anime is like...my life. Seriously. Probably even more than film and stuff. I read manga all the time, I watch anime every chance I get, I play the video games, cosplay, go to conventions, etc. etc. I'm a complete otaku and I'm not afraid to say it. It's fun to delve into another culture and see what makes it tick. Especially when you get to do so through giant fighting robots and magical girls and such.

I wanna say some stuff about my friends! But that'll wait until the next post! The next post will be ALLLLL about my friends :D Cuz they're my life too. Without them, I'd be nothing. NOTHING I TELL YOU.

So I think I've bored you enough with my life. Go read a book or run outside or something else that's productive. Peace.

Quote: "The truck says nu" ~My buddy, Vicki - It's true. The truck says nu. Go look. I'm not lying.

Song: "Child of Anime" by Kylee Henke - Beautiful song. And all about anime. It pretty much describes why people like anime in the first place. Go listen to it. It'll bring some knowledge into your brain.

So I Have This Thing Called a Blog...

..and it's pretty much amazing :D

Hello there. This is my first blog post ever! WEEEEE! I'm kind of excited, because I've wanted to have a blog for a pretty long time, especially since some of my friends have them now. Not that I'm giving into peer pressure or anything; I just think it's cool. And why not, ya know?

I made this blog at this time because I have a lot of issues in my life that I want to talk about, and diaries never seem to last more than a few days. Words come out better through my fingertips than my mouth or a pen. I'm a strong believer in the phrase "The pen is mightier than the sword". Some of the 'issues' that I'm going to bring up have been brought up in the spoken word in my everyday life. However, no one seems to pay attention to my voice. I can articulate my feelings better through writing (I am a communications major after all) and I feel that the pen is mightier (or the keyboard in this situation). Perhaps more people will listen to me and take me seriously if I put my thoughts into a blog. I dunno. I'm hoping.

Anyway, putting the emo-ness aside, greetings and welcome to my adorable blog. It's named "Cupcakes and Lollipops: Sugar for the Curious Mind" because that's basically my personality. Even though I'm 16, about to turn 17, I still have the mind of a child. No, I'm not retarded nor do I have a mental disorder. I'm just extremely innocent. I love sweets and I do have a curious mind, which gets me into trouble sometimes. I'm not saying that I'm completely clueless about the adult world; I'm not stupid. I just choose to distance myself from that side of life. Is it because I'm afraid of growing up? Who knows. That's just who I am, and I don't think that's ever going to change. I'm going to be 37 with 3 kids and a loving husband, and I'll still be the clueless, innocent child that I am now. Well maybe not THAT innocent, considering I'll have kids by then. But you know what I mean.

Even though I am a kid, I have feelings like everyone else. I'm going to be documenting those feelings here, that's what a blog is for, right? Mostly, I'm going to be talking about school and my friends (and the problems within those topics). I don't want to mention names for obvious reasons. Instead, I'm going to replace names with names of foods (particularly fruit). I dunno why, I just thought it was kinda cute. If I'm saying something positive about someone, I'll say their name (unless they want to remain nameless). Other than that, I won't mention anyone's name. You'll know who you are through what I say about you, but other people probably won't. Don't tell me to take down what I say about you. My feelings won't be altered. I can only change your name.

Well, I hope you enjoy your stay at my blog and please keep checking back for updates :) I'm on my computer all the time (maybe a little too much), so there should be plenty of updates for you! Domo arigato gozaimasu! I hope we can get to know each other more <3~

My awesome friend, Lela, ends every post with a quote and a song. Enjoy as I totally do NOT steal her idea :D

Quote: "But we can hope that at least a few folks driving or taking the train across the Manhattan Bridge, living in a downtown apartment, or walking home in the rain looked up at the right time and saw something spectacular" ~ Improv Everywhere - I don't know why, but this quote gave me the chills the first time I read it.

Song: "Marisa Stole the Precious Things" by IOSYS - The most adorable Japanese song ever :D
