Questionare

Hello! It’s Gracie here. Maggie and I came together and wrote ten questions each, creating this fun little questionnaire! Here’s my answers, but you can find Maggie’s at theraremissionary.blogger.com  

1. As a summer missionary, what was your third most stressful day?  It was probably a camp day. Camp can be SUPER fun! But, with it being on week ten and all the craziness involved it can get quite stressful!  
2. What is your favorite movie?  It depends on what I’m feeling. I love Into the Wild, Moulin Rouge, Beginners, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I’m also a fan of pretty much anything Ewan McGregor is in, he’s a fabulous actor!  
3. If you could create a season of American Horror Story, what would it be called?  American Horror Story: Summer Camp. No? Okay…  
4. What was your favorite part about the summer?  Whenever a student accepts Christ makes every bad thing worth it. I’d go through my worst day this summer a thousand times to get that moment. Also, I got to talk about missions a couple times and it was exciting!!  
5. Do you have any guilty pleasures?  Carly Rae Jepsen. 
 6. Secret talents? Do you have any?  To some people my nail art can be described as a secret talent. I used to paint nails a whole lot, but I got extremely burned out on it. You can some pictures on my Instagram. (@theraremissionary)  
7. You’re at the zoo. What are you most excited to see?  You can catch me tearing up at the sloths. They’re amazing, and also extremely relatable.  
8. Any embarrassing moments?  I once used the word “reverent” instead of relevant and I’ll never forget that.  
9. Could you name three fictional characters most like Maggie?  Maggie is both Andy and April from Parks & Rec. You’ll have so much fun around her, but she can also be introverted and, well, April-like? I’d also have to call her a John Watson (I’m thinking BBC). She’s got a heart of gold and if she cares about you, she’s always willing to help. Maggie’s a loyal person and she also possesses John’s sarcasm and wit.  
10. Favorite super hero?  I ADORE Sara Lance’s Black Canary and Daredevil!  
11. What was one of the biggest struggles you faced as a summer missionary?  My age is a big factor when it comes to struggles as a summer missionary. I made “The Sixteen Year Old Missionary,” during my first round. But, no matter what you push past the negativity. 1 Timothy 4:12, folks!  
12. Favorite season of American Horror Story?  Definitely Asylum!  
13. What strength do you bring to the group as a summer missionary?  If I buy a tea that’s too big you can have half? But seriously, I like to think that I do what I’m asked *sometimes*. You want me to teach the kindergarten class? Cool. You need this bag in the van? Alright.  
14. Hardest decision you’ve ever had to make?  Rocky road or cookie dough. That ice cream arrangement at Hannibal LaGrange U is LIFE.  
15. What is one of your favorite bands? Why? What are three of your favorite songs by them?  I’m really into the Violent Femmes. They have such a distinct sound. I don’t know of anyone else who can match Gordon’s voice, and have a song for every mood. Happy? Sad? Angry? Check out Rejoice and Be Happy, Nothing Worth Living For, and Kiss Off!!  
16. If you could choose any country over-seas to live in, which one would it be?  I have two, and both are because my great and great-great grandfathers lived there. Sao Miguel in The Azores would be awesome, but I’d also like to visit mainland Portugal. Then there’s the village where my mom’s great grandfather is from in Italy.  
17. What website do you visit the most?  Definitely Facebook!  
18. Favorite book? This is hard. I really like On the Road. I also have a tattoo from that book… so you’d assume that I’d put that. I also liked the book that the Freedom Writers movie is based on!  
19. Favorite Spongebob episode?  Bubble Buddy or the Krusty Krab Pizza one. They’re pure classics.  
20. Play MASH and post the results  After playing MASH with the extraordinarily evil Maggie, my results were that I’d live in an apartment with Mr. Bean and my four kids. I would also drive an Impala, so I guess that’s fine hahah.

Christmas Eve

Well howdy! It's me again. You're friendly neighborhood hipster. So for y'all who are subscribed to Gracie's fantabulous blog, you've probably read her last post about yours truly. Well let me tell you a thing. Gracie has this habit of making you feel things and let's just say I have this thing where water comes out of my eyes without warning. It's a medical condition called "being a pansy". It's very common among the emotionally unstable college student community. I would post a long mushy novel about her, but alas, words cannot describe my appreciation for this majestic creature known as Gracie.

Look at this face! This is the face of true magnificence! Notice the the big framed librarian glasses. This could mean one of two things. Either she is the secretary for the ghost busters, or she drinks a lot of Starbucks. As a person who knows her very well I can say that although she doesn't deal with the paranormal, she is still too pure for this world. Notice the tired look on her face; as if to say "If you tell me one more time about that stupid life coach thing I will end your life!" This is the face of a veteran missionary. She has the patience of a saint, and I have no idea how she does it. For all of you aspiring social workers out there, this is the face of someone who is about to crack. I can testify that being a summer missionary is a very stressful job, and not for those like me who have been diagnosed with the wuss jean. This woman has such a heart for what she does and I admire her for that. (This is where I start getting all mushy. Sorry about that.) I have never met someone so passionate about a group of people before. She is so in love with the first nations people, that she is willing to sacrifice her entire summer, and put up with me all to help the people she cares about. I don't deserve her friendship, but like does anybody? Now that I'm done gushing, we can get back to more important things like cat videos and the new season of Sherlock. For real tho merry Christmas everybody, and happy birthday Jesus!

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Dead Dream Society; where all of your goals and aspirations go to die. It's like college, but it's free. I mostly created this site because my friend Gracie made me. She has a pretty popular blog, and has been begging me to make one. Most of my stuff will probably be rants, funny stories, and maybe the occasional screen play. (Because I'm hipster trash and I want you to know that I'm deep and stuff.) For real though, most of my stories will probably involve Gracie. We're two halves of a whole idiot. Every time were together, you know that hi-jinks will ensue. I know you're all just dying to know all about me. I mean why wouldn't you? I'm fabulous; and by fabulous, I mean a hot mess. I'm a childless twenty-something in college who has no idea what she's doing half the time. I enjoy cats, anime, books, movies, memes, eating my feelings, and making bad decisions. (Usually Gracie is involved.) I'm an ENFP, and I love to travel. My talents include breathing, chewing with my mouth closed, making babies cry, and disappointing people. Both Gracie and I have unhealthy obsessions with celebrities who have no idea we exist, and an undying love for Harambe. May he rest in peace. Like my father, I'm a huge fan of the Beatles; so naturally I will break into song in public at random. I also have extremely German heritage. My ancestors, (on my dad's side,) are from Dusseldorf Germany. The name alone is a masterpiece. I have a child named Tasha; and by child, I mean cat. As Gracie knows, I despise people who pronounce it me-mes instead of memes, and I also have a passionate hatred towards Jar Jar Binks. One thing to note is that I am a follower of Jesus. I often go on mission trips every summer with Gracie and others. One location that we always go to is Canada. Before then, I had never been outside of the United States, so it was a big deal. Not to brag, but I'm like cultured and stuff. For real though, it was an awesome experience. I'm not a big fan of children, but the first day I was there, I fell in love with the community. The kids were adorable, and the adults were kind. I got to learn about res life, and Canadian culture and history. This summer will be my third year going, and I can hardly believe it. Jesus is really working in that community and I can't wait to see his plans unfold. Note: A lot of my stories will also probably overlap with Gracie's since we have gone on a lot of the same mission trips together. (Except her's will probably be artsy, and eloquent, while mine will be more along the lines of "Gurl imma tell you a thing!") So if you're into that, then this page is for you.
