My New Year’s turned out differently than I’d planned. One of my best friends, Lindsay, and I got into a fight, which left a damper on the holiday (which never has been a holiday for me, I hate all New Year’s traditions. She was angry because I didn’t like her [...]
Personally, I love the abundance of lists at the end of the year. It breaks down information into handy bite sized nuggets that are perfect for me my short attention span. Writing lists is pretty easy, too, and right now writing is not something I’ve felt like doing much, so [...]
I had a wonderful, stress-free Christmas.
I woke up about 9, because everyone was supposed to arrive by 10, but that didn’t happen. My brother, sister, sister’s boyfriend, dad, grandmother and mom and I all congregated around the tree around noon or so. I had a small but plentiful stack of [...]
Life would be so much easier if I had the power to touch someone and they’d instantly understand the emotions I was feeling, and vice versa. Sometimes words just can’t cut it in the realm of human emotions.
I’ve had a bit of a disconnect with my mom lately. We’ve always [...]
Instead of working on a school project, I have decided to write to you, blog. I’m feeling better than I was on Monday. I still don’t feel 100% like me, though that could be blamed on the illness that is working its way around my body.
Yesterday was interesting. I [...]
I feel a little off today. Maybe it’s the holiday season getting to me, maybe I’m getting antsy for adulthood, or maybe it’s the whole Rebecca situation…I just need to stop thinking so much.
I had a mediocre thanksgiving, with only one panic attack. That’s a pretty usual thing in [...]
I’m compiling a list. Here are a few gems:
#123: When you think someone is waving at you, it’s probably to someone else in the general vicinity.
#124: Don’t wave back.
#21: Don’t let your brother or sister know you’ve got money or weed. As a matter of fact, don’t let [...]
It involves an inherently evil Mustache, a pair of aviator sunglasses and an ironic coffee mug.
[...]You know you’re a geek when you have sex dreams involving a blogger (you’ve never met, in person) from your area. I’m such a hormonal teenager.
[...]I’m having a bad pain day, for the first time in a while. I’ve been doing so well I guess I actually got a little bit cocky, and there’s my pain popping up to let me know I’m not as invincible as I’d like to believe. I’ve gone to the [...]
FUCK YEAH AMERICA! This is the first time I’ve been proud to be an American post-9/11.
[...]Katy (my sister), Rebecca (my best friend) and Khara (a close family friend) accompanied me to Six Flags Over Georgia. We left Friday evening for Atlanta, arrived at the hotel pretty late, probably nearly midnight. We hung out for a bit before we all fell asleep, watching a show that [...]
We were somewhere around Cleveland, on the edge of the Lake Eerie when the drugs began to take hold.
This isn’t my best Photoshop job but okay for an hour’s work. I’m really a geek.
[...]Part of my 17th birthday present was a trip to Six Flags with a friend of my choice. We decided to put it off until a cooler month, and now that it’s finally October it’s cool enough to make the trip. My mom, my sister, my best friend and I [...]
For my good friend Rebecca’s birthday, I gave her several presents including; her car full of 110 balloons1 when she woke up, her car’s windows covered in happy birthday messages and inside-jokes, a box of Golden Grahams2, a pack of gum, a bottle of bubbles, cupcakes, and most important of [...]
I now have bangs (along with my red hair).
That’s all for this edition of Lizzy’s Hair Update. Until next time, have a great hair day!
I have been writing and rewriting words, attempting to make a sentence that accurately depicts the state I’m in. The best way to put it is both unforgiving and graphic:
On a steel table in a sterile room, an incision has been made and it is one that will change your [...]
I love television. I’m not ashamed of my love for TV. Our relationship is strong and ever-changing, each season brings with it the possibility of a deeper connection and an opportunity to expand my horizons. Okay, enough of that. There’s a few new shows I’m really into, and thank God [...]
There are some things that I would really like to discuss, in depth on this blog but I can’t, because looking at the stats from Google Analytics I can see I have a bunch of visitors in the Middle Tennessee area, some visits from where my dad is staying right [...]
This was taken in 8th grade, Rebecca and I were singing along to "Afternoon Delight" in our Physical Science class.
I mentioned a friend named Rebecca in my last [...]
Last night was supposed to be a totally different night than how it turned out. I went to my friend, Victoria’s, house to hang out with her and our mutual friend, Lindsay, and wait for our OTHER friend, Rebecca to show up. Rebecca had to work some 30 minutes away [...]
Just so you know, there’s some inappropriate language in this video. Oh, and I AM wearing clothing, my shirt just rode up in some spots so my midriff is bare. I think I’ll keep doing these, they’re fun. Maybe next time I’ll try not to include so many “um” and [...]
I can’t wait for November 4th to come and go. At first, I was interested and excited about the upcoming Presidential election, but my excitement has wavered and my interest has turned into irritation. I support Barack Obama because I feel his values are closer to my own than John [...]
Whenever I sit (or lie) down to write something I put some music on, preferably something heartfelt, the sadder, the better. The perfect writing music is not too loud, not too busy, maybe with a bit of piano here and a splash of violin there. I admit, I rarely have [...]
Whew, I just switched from the version of Wordpress I had to the new one, and it was one helluva ride. I’m worn out now, I think I’ll try to get some sleep. Hopefully I won’t dream about code.
[...]Readers, I’m warning you, this post has some themes that might make some men uncomfortable, no, I’m not talking about blood spewing from my crotchial region (dudes can handle that, I think), but the dreaded time frame before the blood spewing commences…That’s right, I’m talking about PMS. The phenomena that [...]

The world is ending. Gas prices are sky high. There’s some strange French dudes from France that want to suck us all into a black hole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!eleventy-one!1!! WE MUST GO GET GAS BECAUSE WE MIGHT NEED IT TO DRIVE OUT OF THAT BLACK HOLE, OR ESCAPE A MONSTER INLAND [...]
Me: Alright, I’m going to go pick Smudge up from the kennel.
Mom: Do you think you should take an allergy pill? I think you should, as a prophylactic measure.
Me: Eh, I’ll be alright…
Mom: And I don’t mean you should swallow condoms!

Centennial Park (large field)
West End Ave
Nashville, TN
I fell in love today. He was tall, black and a little dirty…well, his car was. I was behind this Land Rover as I was heading home from completing errands when I caught his eye in the side view mirror. He had short brown hair, and a strong looking arm [...]
Though this entry’s title is probably the most overused word during Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, it’s what I’m hoping for, and have decided to take part in. For the first time in my life, I am paying close attention to politics, I am learning about laws and politicians, not only [...]
Shin-guards, smoke-detectors, airbags, clothing, alarms, helmets, shoes, eyelashes and brows, terrorism threat level orange. They will not protect you. Your home is made sticks and stones, arranged and waiting to be blown away. Your bones do not protect you. They break, splinter and shatter on impact. Your skin does not [...]
Being underage isn’t all that bad, for the most part. For the next 308 days, my parents are legally obligated to provide me with food, shelter, and care. I do not have to pay rent, I have no bills to speak of, I have health-insurance, and I am allowed to [...]
Yesterday, my sister came over to visit myself and my mother. A few minutes later, my brother knocked on the door, here to deliver the scanner he borrowed. We were all sitting (or standing, since we don’t have much furniture) around, chatting when my brother exclaimed, “I feel like a [...]
Occasionally my MacBook and I have problems….in the bedroom2. Things between us have been pretty bad lately. For instance, he refused to be turned on last week. I tried to woo him, telling him how much I need him to be turned on, how much I love him, and enjoy [...]
As of late, writing has not been something I look forward to doing, so I just haven’t, and don’t plan on it until I’ve really got something to say. Instead, I bring you photos!
I don’t particularly like posting photographs of myself for all to see on this blog, because [...]
17
-Bank account

-Good Grades
-4 Good Girlfriends

I think 17 is winning.
[...]It’s my birthday, and to celebrate I’m going to share a few songs that will give you a clue to the number I’m turning. Like you couldn’t already tell from my about me.
[...] I was in a fight today…a fight for my life. Sure, that sounds like melodramatic bullshit, but I am dead serious.
This afternoon I decided to go for a leisurely swim, which was my first mistake. I changed into my suit, applied some SPF 70 sunscreen (can’t be too careful when [...]

I don’t know what it is about me, but I seem to attract a certain breed of guys…like the ones who lack chiseled features, sobriety and gainful employment. It’s not that chiseled features are important to me, in fact, I tend to gravitate towards the guys that are a little [...]
There is an unfinished post waiting to be completed in my long list of drafts that never became anything more. I started writing it then stopped, deciding to finish it in the next day or two. But then something came up…
Right now I’m dealing with something in my life I [...]
Obviously I lied about writing the next day, but at least I’m writing now. I have decided not to bore you with details of my current, mundane life (single, A/C broken in 95 degree temp., having garage sale soon) and instead bore you with details of my past, slightly less [...]
This week I am spending with my father in Chicago, rather I’m spending evenings with my father, and all day by myself. It’s my first vacation since Portland back in September, and it’s much needed. Traveling seemed like more of a pain in the ass than usual this time. Going [...]
Dear Mom,
I am afraid I don’t know if I have many words for you today. You cannot translate your heart into words, and this is what you are to me. You are my heart. When we laugh together, it beats faster, when you hold me whilst I cry, it [...]
So that whole hosting company not realizing the credit card I had used originally was inactive didn’t last too long, obviously.
There’s a whole lot to say but goddamn am I too tired to tell it all. Maybe in an hour. Or a week. Or a lifetime.
[...]Dear Television,
Please refrain from showing that ASPCA commercial with Sarah Mclachlan’s “Arms of an Angel” playing to footage of neglected or abused animals when I have PMS.
Love,
Perpetually Teary-Eyed Lizzy.
To understand what I’m talking about you might want to read the previous posts about my relationship: the first part of the first date, the second part of the first date, the third part of the first date, another post about it here, then this [...]
Not much to say, I’m actively looking for my first job and am completely immersed in my online schooling (http://crescentprephs.com). I’m also PMSing quite bad and feel like eating more chocolate and valium.
[...]I feel like I’ve been in a battle and my heart has been destroyed. Maybe I’ll say more on that later. Maybe not.
[...]I just watched Jesus Camp, I know, I’m a little late on the whole phenomena. I make it a point not to talk about religion, and often politics because there’s so much emotion entangled with both topics. I personally am a Christian, but I don’t attend church.
The kids were being [...]
I’m going to keep track of all the movies I’ve watched in 2008, that I’d never seen before, to prove how much of a geek I am.
January
There Will Be Blood (x2)- *****
Breakfast at Tiffany’- ****
Secretary- ***
Dead Poet’s Society- ****
Good Will Hunting- ****
I Am Legend- [...]
I can’t decide whether today was a good day or whether it was terrible. The big stuff comes first. Remember when I posted about being published? Well, today the second book was released. It’s called Not Quite What I Was Planning and you should buy it, not because [...]
At the moment I’m really making lists instead of writing about my life. I’ve created a list of movies I want to watch, all the way through. Some of these I’ve seen parts of, or don’t remember much about them. And yes, I know, HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THE [...]
Tonight was rough for me. I had a very light and sound sensitive headache, I didn’t have enough sleep to function normally, and to go along with this, I was being very emotional. A few things that hadn’t really been bothering me too much, came to [...]
I’m not sure about the demographics of my few readers, but I’m guessing there’s a couple of younger people around, and it’s not all my grandmother and old teacher reading the insane ramblings of a lunatic mind. And hopefully, there’s a few of my readers having sex, or at least [...]
I can’t believe that Heath Ledger is dead. I mean, he’s one of the last actors I would expect to die so young from an apparent overdose, and on the heels of Brad Renfro’s overdose. I could believe it if it had happened to someone like Britney Spears, or Amy [...]
I’m pretty sure the card I used for my hosting service was no longer active, but apparently it hasn’t figured that out yet. I’m not complaining, free hosting from Surpass!
[...]So, I’m a few days late for these end of the year summary posts, but I thought I’d post one anyway.
In early 2007, my dad left, we found out about his extra curricular activities, my brother moved back home to “help”, my mom sank into a deep depression.
In summer of [...]
Talking to my boyfriend late at night on the phone is always unsettling. He’s struggling with depression, whether it’s situational or clinical I don’t know, anxiety, and poor self esteem. To hear him tell me the way he feels, how hard it is for him to go through a day, [...]
Remember this? I just realized I never wrote about the other book…
One of my favorite authors is Dave Eggers. He’s sarcastic, witty, and he happens to be really adorable. He also is the editor of a series of books called “The Best American Nonrequired [...]
Oh my sweet baby blog, I have not been the mother I should be to you. You’re almost two years old, and I was treating you like a self-sufficient teenager. I realize you can’t write your own posts, or moderate your own comments–I mean Xanax is not going to be [...]
Last week I accompanied my mother and father to the Apple Store in the Green Hills Mall. I was not particularly interested in the trip, as I’d been there many times before and played with the iPhone plenty. I strolled over to the Body Shop and smelled their fragrances [...]
I am back from Portland, arrived Saturday night at 8PM. It was a good and bad trip, I’ll explain the rest at a later date. A few hours after arriving home, I decided to go to bed, I discovered the pug that could possibly be the spawn of Satan, Buster, [...]
EDIT: WHY THE HELL DO I TRY? The latter part of the hour rolling/re-rolling and folding/re-folding articles of clothing like my underwear, in attempt to make them smaller (not happening), and I’m convinced that I’m going to need more luggage space–especially on the way back home, since I plan to [...]
Just the thought of this makes me cry. This is like the third report of an animal being set on fire this summer. Those assholes should be set on fire themselves, see how they like it, how fucking funny it is to watch their skin burn, and if they’d [...]
Sometimes all it takes to feel better is:
Alison at This Jaded Life, and I have something in common: we don’t understand a very popular trend, especially on the males.
But the creme de la creme is DUDES who do it. Who are you kidding? First of all, you [...]
Today I was in the car with my mom, on my way to get dinner when I received a phone call. I was surprised to see the caller was Kris because he was supposed to be at work, and he hardly ever calls me from work–especially because I always call [...]
I don’t want to be one of those girls who just talks about her love life, I’m no Carrie Fisher, my exploits are not very explicit, and I’ve never been a fashion trendsetter. However, I do have to blog about my relationship. It’s what’s taking up most space in my [...]
You may want to familiarize yourself with this story before you read this entry, or if you enjoy being slightly confused, keep reading.
I went to the party at Local Honey (a vintage store), with Lauren and another girl. No sign of Chris. No Stephanie. No Colin. Though disappointed we [...]
My neglect of this blog has been partially due to my apprehension of jinxing something really good that has happened to me in the past few months. Here’s the story of the good thing, from the beginning:
In late May/early June I was working at an arts camp with a whole [...]
New look.
[...]It’s cold and it’s a disgusting gray sleet outside. There are three other bodies in this room, none of which will respond to my whispered pleas. They continue to expel horrific gurgles while my mouth silently mouths a prayer. My stomach is in a different place than usual, it’s no [...]
Alright, fine, I’ll talk about myself. I turned sixteen a week ago. I wore a tiara, I walked on a red carpet past all of my adoring friends and fans, I drank out of a goblet, I shook my sweet little ass on stage next to Beyonce, I wore Dolce [...]
I’m tired of talking about myself, I’ve lost all interest in my life. But I’m writing again, mostly fiction.
I’d only met her twice, each time losing energy and coherent thought processes, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to see her again. Her sullen eyes were always rimmed with slightly reddened [...]
Here’s my take:
EDIT: I don’t care to hear your opinion of breeders, I don’t even know if it was a breeder, it was an ad in the paper for a litter of black pug puppies, the only ones we could find in Nashville or any surrounding areas and we were going to [...]
I tell you what, they better not kill Tony. If Phil lives I’m gonna have some bones to pick.
[...]Tonight my mom and I went on a date and saw Mr. Brooks. It was the first good role that Kevin Costner has played in years. I loved the way the film was shot, I loved the plot, the acting, everything was just ON. William Hurt was fantastic and both [...]
