BEDA 1 (2012)

IT'S AN INTRO POST
Things have changed, you need to get up to date.

I'm still Maddie but now I'm seventeen and it's a Big Deal except I still don't have my permit (I have this unfortunate ability to miss just enough school for the government to deny me things like licenses) and I can't legally pour or serve alcohol. I still like Doctor Who (aw man the new trailer you guys) and Harry Potter. Those things haven't changed.

Not much has changed, I guess. I've become less vehement with my father, which is good. I have a job at my dad's restaurant (but I still can't spell restaurant) and I went to California and I kissed a boy (oOoOoO etc)

I'm also reasonably comfortable with my body. Like, I use to be terrible self-conscious and would wear huge shirts and baggy jeans and never shorts and never never skirts and I would never draw attention to the clothes I was wearing and I wouldn't wear earrings etc. But now, I'm okay. I wore a tank top and a DRESS (not on the same day) to school which are actually Huge Deals. I read this interview with Jasika Nicole (she's flawless) about how when a person is happy that happiness shines through and the person looks beautiful because they're so happy and I have taken that as a personal motto and just feel awesome and then I think I look awesome and then I feel more awesome and etc. But yeah. Also, having someone thinking you're beautiful does wonders for one's self esteem. Like the poet hath wrote, "You don't know you're beautiful, that's what makes you beautiful."

I have to blog twice today so I will say more later. Laterz.
