Day 27- Why are you doing this 30 day challenge
Mostly out of boredom really. Thought it’d be a nice way to become more acquainted with the tumblr world.
Day 26- What you think about your friends
I’ve been thinking about this topic a lot lately. The truth is, I love my friends, I really do, and I appreciate all they have done for me. But sometimes with certain friends, I feel as if I put in so much more effort into our friendship while they just sit back like useless lumps.
I would die for you. But I won’t live for you. -Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Day 25- What I would find in your bag
itouch
Burt’s Bees chapstick
$4
blackberry
Seriously… that’s it.
Mommy and me fixed up a dress of hers from the 1990’s. I first saw this dress hidden under a huge pile of clothes. The combination of floral print, soft pastel colors, and simple material made me fall in love with it. It was originally long, so we cut and hemmed it, then fixed the collar. There is still some work to be done- planning on folding the sleeves and adding buttons, and possibly...
Day 24- A letter to your parents
Dearest Daddy & Mommybear,
Words cannot describe the immense love I have for you two. Words cannot describe the emotions I have towards you- the feeling of care, love, loyalty, respect. When I was little, I used to think you guys were the enemies because of all the boundaries and rules you had put upon me. Now that I have matured, all your boundaries and rules have molded my character,...
Day 23- Something you crave for a lot
This this this this this. The Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich from Panera Bread. The combination of hummus, peppers, feta cheese, onions, tomatos, cucumbers, lettuce, and tomato basil bread always makes my mouth water. Please excuse me while I wipe the drool off my face…
Day 22- What makes you different from everyone...
This was sort of hard, but I’d have to say my creativity/craftsmanship. I wouldn’t call myself an artist when it comes to the fine arts. I can however draw some gnarly bubble letters and cartoon-ized people. Everyone I encounter tells me I have typewriter handwriting, and I can make some helluva crafts like beading and friendship bracelets. I wouldn’t call myself a photographer,...
Day 21- A picture of something that makes you...
Does this count as something or somewhere? Anyway, this is my favorite spot in the whole world. I can come here just to think, sit on the rocks, breathe in the smell of salty air, and listen to crashing waves.
'Cause I'm no superman, I hope you like me as I...
Been listening to Joe Brooks on repeat for several nights in a row now. Everything about him makes me smile… his mellow tunes, his lyrics that prove to be the story of my life, the cheeky lines he says, his hair I want to touch so bad, his cute little british accent, and his voice of a thousand angels.
Mona and I got our USMNT shirts in the mail yesterday and when I opened the package,...
Day 20- Someone you see yourself marrying/being...
I see myself marrying someone who is creative and has a mind of his own. He does not need to be rich or even successful, just someone who would love me for me, for my imperfections, flaws, as well as my good points. Someone who will support any decision I make, call me beautiful, take care of me when I am sick, cuddle with me, and give me eskimo kisses. I want to be with someone who understands...
Day 19- Nicknames you have; why do you have them
Becky- Two kids in my class started calling me this in the beginning of the year because they knew the name annoyed me. Later, everyone in the class began to call me it, and it just sort of stuck. I’ve even grown to like it.
Rebela- This is a name that my friends from 8th grade just decided to make up.
Day 18- Plans/dreams/goals you have
Plans: Finish up the summer living as carefree as possible. I plan on having the time of my life with my best friends in August in California where we can watch a West Coast sunset and feel infinite together.
Dreams: To move to Los Angeles and attend university there. Then I’d like to go on to become a great film director.
Goals: Get accepted into college on the West Coast, and have a fun...
Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives...
There isn’t one specific person but I would not mind switching with John Hughes. He has been such an inspiration to me, paving the road to my dream of becoming a great film director. His work has molded the young film industry by depicting teenage angst and lives. I grew up with his films, and I would love the opportunity to absorb his thoughts, ideas, creations, and masterpieces. John...
Day 16- Another picture of yourself
Day 15- Put your iPod on shuffle: First 10 songs...
1. Drop Out - The So Unknown by Jack’s Mannequin 2. Trouble Is a Friend by Lenka 3. Then I’ll be Smiling by Matt Nathanson 4. Bulletproof Weeks by Matt Nathanson 5. I Heart Question Mark by Taylor Swift 6. It Had to be You by Motion City Soundtrack 7. Fast Car by Swimming With Dolphins 8. The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most by Dashboard Confessional 9.

Day 14- A picture of you and your family
And no good thing ever dies.
I had a really bad morning, but things instantly turned better after I thrifted and bought 2 floral dresses and a lace shirt for under $20. Oh yeah, I also saw Inception- honestly one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. There was so many different layers and so much depth. The plot was intriguing, complex, and yet simple at the same time.
Day 13- A letter to someone who has hurt you...
Dear dreadful you,
You don’t appreciate what I do for you, and pretty soon, you’re going to end up friendless. I’ve put up with your excuses, insults, and ungrateful remarks for far too long. You are cheap, stubborn, and always picking fights with me; our friendship seems to be a lie. People tell me all the time you don’t deserve a friend like me… but I don’t...
Day 12- How you found out about Tumblr and why you...
To tell you the truth, I don’t remember exactly how I found out about Tumblr. But I made it because I’ve always wanted a blog to keep track of my mindless chatter and collection of thoughts.
Day 11- Another picture of you and your friends
Day 08- Favourite striker
Anyone who knows me, knows the answer to this question - Fernando José Torres Sanz. Although some may call him the ‘Dying Swan’ due to his goal drought and inability to play a full 90 minutes in the World Cup, I say… shut the fuck up - I’d like to see you be fully fit after a recent knee surgery. He is everything you want in a team player -fearless, willing, determined,...
Day 10- Songs you listen to when you are Happy,...
Happy: Ice by Lights - A pop synth song that always puts a big smile on my face as I attempt to sing along. Sad: In My Veins by Andrew Belle - The slowness and mellowness of this song combined with the beautiful lyrics helps me calm down when I’m feeling blue. Bored: Can’t Let Go by Landon Pigg - Anything by Landon instantly puts me in a great mood. Hyped: Tip of the Iceberg by Owl...
Day 09- Something you’re proud of in the past few...
This this this. Through all our support- countless tweets, facebook statuses, and never ending faith- we got to see our Roja boys win their first World Cup. I’m extremely proud that I never gave up on them even when they lost their opening match, and I never faltered after so many people laughed in my face for believing that Spain would win it all. Thank you Paul the Octopus.
Day 08- Short term goals for this month and why
1. Save every penny from my paycheck- I need to pay some expenses for my California trip in August!
2. Buy a new USMNT jersey- For the game on August 10th!
3. Study study study- For upcoming SATs and ACTs :(
…thats it for now. It’s summertime, livin’s easy
Day 05- Favourite WC moment
BY FAR. GREATEST MOMENT EVER. La Roja played hard, and won a well-deserved World Cup. Being the only team to lose their opening match and go on to win the title, seeing them win their first World Cup literally warmed my heart like cozy clothes right out of the dryer on a chilly winter day.
Day 07- A picture of someone/something that has...
Meet my mother. Hands down, she has had the biggest impact on my life. We share the same interests, whether it’s appreciating Thomas Kinkade’s artwork, watching socce/the OC, jamming out to Kanye and Gaga with the windows down, sharing our H&M purchases, or rating hot men, she is my number 1 lady. She has shown me so much love, and has given me the world. She is the one person I...
Day 06- Favorite super hero and why
Gotta be honest about this one, I never really took a liking to the whole superhero thing. Growing up, I was more of a Rugrats type of kid. But I’ll say Batman, because I always wanted a Batmobile!!
Day 05- A picture of somewhere you’ve been to
China. It was beautiful, there are no words to describe a country like this.
Day 04- A habit that you wish you didn’t have
This one’s easy. I really really really wish I didn’t feel the need to crack my knuckles. I don’t necessarily believe that it gives you arthritis, but I know it’s definitely not good. Not getting all technical with the honey, fluid, whatever in your joints that causes the sound. But yes, Mother yells at me whenever she hears me crack any part of my body.
Earth laughs in flowers.
I deleted my previous post stating that even my parents acknowledged that I have a problem with my addiction to fútbol.
WELL, Mona & I just bought our tickets to the U.S. National Team friendly against Brazil on August 10th! So so so so excited x infinity.
AND,
STU HOLDEN REPLIED TO MEEEE :D I can die happy, he’s my favorite USMNT player (;
ok, that’s enough fútbol talk for...
Day 03- A picture of you and your friends
This picture was taken yesterday at the Fourth of July festival me and my friends went to at Thompson Park. There was a really great fireworks display, and a “dance party” where this girl in a green shirt thoroughly entertained us for the night with her obscene dance moves.
“I scribble down something...
Day 02- The meaning behind your Tumblr name
My tumblr name is pretty self-explanatory. My first name is Rebekah and my middle name is Dorothy. This was an easy challenge :P
PS- Happy 4th of July!
Day 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting...
1. I laugh with every fiber in my body. 2. I used to have no regrets. That changed this year. 3. I don’t wear any type of make-up. I find it superficial, and the only beauty is natural beauty. 4. I love to watch soccer, football, whatever you want to call it. I could sit and watch 5 soccer games in a row and never be tired of it. 5. I live for those infinite moments, moments where time...
