Julia Explains "Shipping" to her Parents

So here we all are, sitting at the dinner table, having normal dinner conversations.  Which for my family means we were talking about the day in the future that my younger sister Erin will be asked to prom by my friend Ashley's brother Cole.  It is going to happen.  They are our OTP.  So I was like, "Ashley and I TOTALLY ship them."  And the table is quiet.

My Life as Described by TFIOS Quotes

Okay guys, time for a serious post.

I honestly don't know if anyone even reads this anymore, but I guess why not pour my heart out into a blog post, right?

So anyway.  These past couple days have been crazy for me.  It's been such an emotional roller coaster and I'm still a little bit in shock.  But whenever a new plot twist in my real life story happened, I kept using The Fault in Our Stars quotes.  And they fit the situation perfectly.  It was weird man.  And yes, I did say every one of them out loud.  So here goes.

How to Bring Your Fandom on Vacation

Hey guys.  So I've been back in the US of A for about a week now, and I'm very avidly wishing I wasn't.  Don't get me wrong, I love my friends and my home, but foreign country = no responsibilities, and I'm not really in the mood for responsibilities right now.  I miss the summers where you could go for a week without getting out of your pajamas.  RESPONSIBILITIES ARE NOT FUN.  AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS.

But anyway.  Back to the trip.  We were in Norway, the country of Frozen and What Does the Fox Say, for a week and a half, and needless to say it was the most beautiful country I've ever been in.

But, as every fangirl knows, fandoms do not present themselves only when it is convenient.  Where you go, the feels follow.  You will be thinking about Hazel and Gus and Katniss and Peeta and Gale and Tris and Four and Gwendolyn and Gideon and everyone else. So, without further ado, here is:

Idioms. They Don't Translate

Hallo.  As you may or may not know, I have spent the last two and a half weeks in Germany, and tomorrow we're going to Norway for a week.  Yup.  Being bilingual, I like to notice differences in sentence structure or specific words between English and German.  That didn't seem so nerdy in my head.  But anyways, I have realized that idioms.  Do.  Not.  Translate.  Like, if a foreigner came to good ole Murica, they would be genuinely perplexed if you said you had a cup of Joe for breakfast.

The Joys of International Flights

Hey y'all.  Yours truly is currently writing from Leverkusen, Germany.  Whoop whoop!  Do you know how I got here? A 4-hour flight, 5-hour layover, an 8-hour flight, and a 30-minute car ride.  It sucked.

So I figured most of us here have ridden in a plane before, even if it wasn't international.  And we can all relate to the joys and woes of airports and airplanes.  So, here are things I think during the adventure of getting from one place to another using this joyful method of transportation.

SURPRISE!

Okay guys.  In my last post, I talked about how this blog is going to be over, and I'll be switching to my other blog.  But.

I changed my mind.

I like this blog.  And I like you guys.  And I thought we'd keep the party where it's already at.  So yay!

JUST SAYIN' LIVES ON.

And I know that half of you will probably stop reading my blog, because you won't be writing your own blog and will forget about everyone else's blogs you used to stalk, but if you ever feel the need to visit some weird randomness, my blog will be waiting for you in this little corner of the blogosphere.

And since school is almost over, I thought I'd leave you with some pictures.

It's Been Real

It is a sad day in this corner of the blogosphere.  The school year is coming to a close (that's not why I'm sad) and Just Sayin' is having its last say today (that's why I'm sad).  I have loved ranting and making lists and everything else for you guys to read.  We've really made a connection this year, wouldn't ya say?  But anyway, as the last post of the school year, it's time to reflect.
