My Favorite Things: Sims, blessthefall, Grandma, and Other Things!

I really wish I had more motivation to do the drawings for my blog. They are fun, but they make it so hard to blog at times. I think they add the humor to them, and I feel like my blog needs them. Then, I thought, forget it! It's my blog, and I do what I want! Drawings or not, I can still make this enjoyable cause I'm Jordan and I'm awesome like that. Get over it!

Well, my last post is a little depressing due to the fact that Kevin and I are no longer together. Yes, that is right, I was flat out dumped. It was my first time being dumped. He said I could tell everyone that I dumped him if I wanted to, but I don't want to lie to you all. I do not want to go into it, but at this point, I do not think him and I will be able to be friends. It's different because I usually stay friends with my ex-boyfriends, but this time is just a little different. I'd like to tell you all I took this break up with maturity and dignity, but I didn't. I'm bitter, and I will admit it.

The point is when real life does not work out the way I imagined, I cope by playing The Sims 3.

Now, I get people asking why I want to play The Sims 3 when I could do all of that stuff (like watch TV or play on the computer). That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Okay, I can't pull a book out of my butt that magically teaches me how cook just by reading it in real life. I can't randomly acquire 50,000 bucks by typing in a magical life code in real life. I can't live in the same neighborhood as my friend from Finland in real life. I can't get married in real life. I can't live across the street from Elliott Gruenberg from blessthefall and be best friends with him in real life.

There's me and Elliott Gruenberg eating grilled salmon. I don't even like salmon in real life. Trump for the Sims. (Yes, I did make Sims for all of the members of blessthefall)

Let's be honest, I may have destroyed a certain Sim I made that resembled a certain ex and moved Elliott into his house.

Maybe it's not a good coping mechanism, but I like it! I like that I can be an awesome writer and journalist. I like that I can be married to Elliott Gruenberg and have his children.

I like that Elliott Gruenberg and I are friends on that game. We could be friends in real life. We may just go ahead and be friends in real life. I will hopefully get to meet him  at the All Stars Tour in Louisville. I think the members of blessthefall and I are ready to be best friends. I mean we tweeted each other, we're obviously wanting to connect.

I went into giddy school girl mode when I got this email.

(By the way I have a twitter now if you want to follow me)

I'm really excited about this concert, not only for the obvious reason of seeing my future husband Elliott and the rest of blessthefall, but because my friend Heather is going with me. Heather is totally rad. I've known her since I was like 14 or 15. Do you know what that means? She stuck with me during the last few years of puberty. She used to be in this awesome band, and she has always been beautiful and totally amazing. I don't get to see her much now that I am in college, but when I do see her, it's like Christmas.

This is me and Heather when I was sixteen. I'm not sure how old she would have been here.

Can you believe that this is the only picture I could find of us together? We both look totally different now. Heather has awesome blonde hair now. I don't have a picture, and I am not sure if she would let me share one of her pictures (I'm allowed to share the above one though because it's mine haha), but I do have my own Sims version of Heather!

I made her married to Jared Warth from blessthefall. I don't know if she would want that, but she likes blessthefall, and he's REALLY awesome (I will have to tell my story of me meeting Jared some other time). Yeah, he looks a lot like Elliott, but the Create-A-Sim is not very awesome/hardcore friendly.

Not only does Heather look different, but I look different to. You guys are all like, "Yeah, we know!" Well... maybe you do, maybe you don't! I got a haircut since last time I wrote a blog. Do you want to see? Okay!

My accurately portrayed Sim is upset because she is using a Windows computer. Let's fix this.

See much happier now that we have a Mac!

Oh, you wanted real life pictures? Well, gee! Has this blog taught you nothing?

I cut it as a symbol/reminder that this is a new start. I just went through a tough break up that brought guilt and insecurity (as harsh as that may sound, it's true, I'm sorry). I am getting ready to start my senior year in college and then out into "the real world" as they call it. It's a new chapter for me. Let's not dwell on the past.

Despite a previous post about me not wanting to straighten my hair, this hairstyle actually takes a little more work to get my curls to look right, so I have been keeping it straight. I say this because it was raining today, and since I lose and/or break every umbrella I've ever owned and it was way too hot to wear a jacket, I wore a hat today.

I thought I looked like Lauri Ylönen from The Rasmus (without the beard of course).

Here's Lauri Ylönen in case you didn't know.

After this, I wondered if I should dye my hair black again. I'm leaning towards yes, but I'm already getting called a scene kid enough as it is. Don't get me wrong, I like scene kids. I think scene boys are the most attractive of them all. Speaking of which, I got called beautiful by a scene boy today. That has never happened before. My ego is now out the roof.

Wow, off topic. My ADD blog was so accurate. I actually keep getting A- marks on my papers at school because they aren't organized enough. Luckily, we don't get grades on blogs, but even if we did, mine would still be A+ quality.

OKAY TRYING TO GET BACK TO THE POINT AGAIN! Anyway, I want to know what you guys think about dying my hair. I wanted to make an awesome poll to put in the blog, but I am not sure how. I could draw one.

But that means everyone would have to save the image, draw their vote in on paint/paintbrush/some other program, send it back to me, and I would have to count. That's just too much work for both parties.

I suppose I could Google how to do this, but it's getting late, and I don't feel like it.

I know this blog has an option to make a poll, but it puts it on the whole blog instead of just this one post, and I only want my dedicated readers to have a say.

Therefore, the best option is just to comment and tell me I suppose. Grandma swears up and down it's already black, but I promise you it's not.

Speaking of her, it's officially her 78th birthday! Happy birthday Grandma! I love you! In honor of her birthday, I am linking to the previous post dedicated to her.

Yes, I did link to four previous blog entries of my own. No, I am not ashamed. If Elliott Gruenberg EVER reads this blog post, then yes, I will be ashamed.
