I found out today that Disney got the ideas for the floating lights in Tangled from Asia. For centuries now in Thailand (I think) they have been sending up floating lanterns for festivals. I'm pretty sure there is also a festival dedicated just to the floating lights. That is soooooo cool!!!!!!!!! I'm trying to get my parents to buy or at least make some to send up on New Years.
So I'm feeling a bit better about my life and school but not 100%. I've been trying to distract myself from thinking about it but I'm going to have to stop sooner or later. My mom said I could switch rooms and redecorate. I have been living in this house for about a year and a half now and I absolutely hate it. In Arizona, most houses have small bedrooms, maybe it's because they spend so much time outside? My bedroom in New Jersey (remember, that's where I was born and raised most of my life) was about 3 times the size of what I have now (I was sharing a room with my sister, but still, I'm living in a coat closet now). My dad painted it for me a couple weeks after we moved in (because before we moved, It was a nursery for the baby) but there was something I still hated about it. Maybe it was the size or that I have a super small hand-me-down bed from some person my dad worked with or that there is a sliding glass door that goes to the backyard or it could be the feng shui. I used to not believe in feng shui, but now I'm starting to. My sisters' room (they share a room) is about the same size as mine but instead of a huge sliding glass door, they have 2 windows and bunk beds. While my grandparents were here for Thanksgiving and I couldn't sleep in the guestroom (where I usually reside) I slept in my sisters' room on the top bunk and I felt soooooo much difference in the way I felt. I had a good night's sleep and I was happier in the morning. Their bed is on a different wall than mine is in my room. But it's probably because I was sleeping higher up. I guess I just want to be disconnected from the world. So I'm moving across the hall to my sisters' room and I am repainting and getting a loft bed (this will probably take several months but it's worth it) my sisters are taking my bed and getting a trundle accesory that we found online that looks exactly like the bed that I already have. My year old sister is already excited to sleep in the magic secret bed. It will also help that she got a Rapunzel life size Fathead for Christmas (she just doesn't know it yet). As for my other sister, she doesn't like the idea of moving across the hall for some reason. She hates change. It's kinda annoying most of the time because she even hates the color of the room she's in anyway and she likes the sliding glass door in my room. She just doesn't want anything to be different.
Also, I'm working on a sewing project. For my Sweet 16, I'm taking a few close friends to Disneyland for a couple days. My birthday is in October so we will be there for the Halloween party and we can dress up if we want. I'm going as Charlotte La Bouff from The Princess and the Frog in her pink ball gown. I have to make it because they don't have a costume online. Plus, I'll have a custom made one of a kind dress. I'm so excited!!!!!! I know I say that a lot but this time I mean it! I'm also making a Rapunzel dress for my sister and a Mother Gothel dress for my mom (and possibly a Flynn Rider costume for my dad, my sister is still in the "daddy is my prince" mode and wants them to dress up together). It will be hard, but it will distract me from depression.
