my bracelets

you'll almost always see me with a bunch of bracelets on my wrist. every once in a while, my wrist gets full and i have to take them all off and start again. these are all of the bracelets that are currently residing on my wrist.

1. the black bandanna bracelet was made for me by my friend jon, and lynzee made me the pink one.

2. the yellow armband is from when i volunteered at a snowmobile event yesterday, and i haven't taken it off yet.

3. the blue bracelet is a march of dimes bracelet that says "saving babies" on it. my mom bought it for me.

 4. the blue silly band is a saxophone, one of the pink ones is an elephant, the other pink one is a jellyfish/octopus, and the yellow one is an acoustic guitar.

5. the rainbow bracelet is a bracelet i made a few years ago, and i just found it and decided to put it on.

6. the yellow and orange hair ties are obviously for putting my hair up. i have at least 2 hair ties on my person at all times

7. the brown and black bracelet is one that i stole borrowed from my friend jon, because i liked it. (:

the little things

this right here is my best friend, lynzee. when i think about what makes us friends, the cliche criteria for friendship aren't the first things that come to mind. they still apply, sure, but when i think about the relationship i share with lynzee, it seems that the details are what make us so close.

a few of the little things:

1. i can tell her an entire story in 10 words and she knows exactly what i’m talking about.
2. she forces me into doing things i don’t want to do, because she knows that in doing them, i will benefit in some way.
3. i feel more at home at her house than i do at my own.
4. she doesn’t freak out when i inturrupt her.
5. her cats are adorable.
6. she can describe any situation or emotion by using a taylor swift quote.
7. we send each other random picture messages that are completely irrelevant to the conversation, simply because it makes us laugh.
8. she plays halo with me even though i royally suck at it.
9. even if she doesn’t agree with what i’m saying, she still tries to understand it.
10. i can be myself around her.

welcome to my blog, my life, my mind.

well hi there! i'm lani (that's pronounced lay-nee. please say it right). feel free to wish me happy sweet sixteenth on november first. i'm a sophomore at alhs, and i'm involved in way too many extra-curricular activities. band, choir, pep band, show choir, musical, student council, and also mock trial and basketball managing in a few months, all while attempting to maintain my 4.0 gpa. music is my life. i play tenor sax, flute, piano, some guitar, and--as laura never fails to remind me--kazoo. i'm also a singer. i live with my mom, dad, brother noah, and dog jack, in a house i've lived in for 15 years.

so, those are the basics. now it's time for me to type randomly anything that possibly comes to mind about myself.

my favorite number is 11. i have severe trypanophobia. i don't like large groups; if i'm hanging out with friends, i'd much rather be with one or two people, verses four or five or six. my favorite color is yellow. i sleep on my stomach. my favorite foods are cereal and pasta. taylor swift and paramore are my musical preferences. i wish i had more time in my life to read. my favorite books are; the burn journals by brent runyon, the book thief by markus zusak, night by elie wiesel and ida b by katherine hannigan. i take very good care of my african violet. when i can't sleep, i take out my book of secrets and writewritewrite! i'm very ocd at times. i hate surprises. i love compliments. it doesn't take much to make me smile. i could go on for hours about myself, but i'm sure that if you've made it this far, you're probably dying of boredom.
au revoir!
