I added music, in case you couldn't tell. ;) This is cause for much joy for me.... They're arranged more or less in alphabetical order. I KNOW! ZOEgirl and Rebecca St. James are at the top. I added them first, but didn't feel like scrolling all the way down the page to put them where they would belong to be in order, so I just left them. After those artists though, I THINK the rest are in order. So yeah... Go check out my music and let me know what you think! :D
Nov. 24, 2009 - i think its about time to cash in and get out.
so my life is pretty much a whole bunch of boring these days but i did get my camera back, if i havent already mentioned that. so ive been on crazy photographer mode. and ive been getting some really cool shots. i feel like a little kid in a candy store. its amazing.
i dont know what it is. its just like, i can express myself through photography in a way that i cant express myself any other way. and i hate seeing people who just take dead on shots of things. please, just turn your camera a little and take a different shot.
hmm. so i really hate school right now. at least today's the last day of school before thanksgiving break. which, by the way, im looking forward too. thanksgiving, not thanksgiving break. because Stu is coming from Seattle with his girlfriend Nicole (love them), Megan is coming down from Alaska for the week, Whyatte and Jake are coming from wherever it is they live, and Jared is going to be there instead of spending thanksgiving with his roommate. im thinking this is a good thing, but i dont really know. all i know is im way excited and i havent even thought about what im going to wear. and, um, thanksgiving is the day after tomorrow..
Nov. 23, 2009 - -whistles innocently-
Heh. Why don't I write here more?? Good question. And this question has a simple answer.
I'M BUSY!!! ARG!!
Sorry. -chuckle- I'm just getting tired of being busy. -_- But also... I like being busy, too... so I'm not gonna complain. Instead, I'll give you update, yes?
First and foremost, I started Karate lessons at last. W00T!! Currently I'm a white belt with a yellow tip. Once I get two yellow tips I'll be ready to take the test for yellow belt. At my dojo the belts are: White, yellow, blue, green, brown, black. Actually... I'm not sure if they have a brown belt, but oh well. -shrug-
I'm also doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), also known as suicide for authors. Whoever thought up the idea of writing a 50,000 word novel in 30 days should both get a big huzzah for brilliance, and also be shoved off a tall cliff. >_> Okay, not really. I enjoy NaNo, despite my complainings. Wait... didn't I say I wasn't going to complain? Okay, moving on.
Voice lessons are still going grandly. Getting ready for my Christmas recital, where I will be singing Fly Away, by FFH, and Sunrise, by Nichole Nordeman. Perhaps some other stuff.
Aaaaaand.... that's it for my schedule. 'Cept for work of course. Working half days again. OH! AND I'm taking classes on how to teach piano, so hopefully I can quit working away from home completely. I hate being away from home, even just for half the day. =P
So I've been keeping busy! Mostly with writing at least two thousand words every day. x_x
Saturday I went to my first LARP (live action role play) ever. I went as one of my characters. Thea, or Jaella. She's a gypsy. It was a TON of fun, especially once one of my friends got the brilliant idea of starting a thieves guild with me, her, and another friend. We stole a bag of marshmallows, and between two of us, ate them. Then we stole the stuff out of a secret stash that we found, and then some shields from the armory shop. Yes, we were quite busy. In the secret stash, we left a note reading, "You've been robbed by the illustrious Magpie Band. Tee hee.". -grin-
We hid the stuff up in fir trees, then sat and waited for people to notice. No one noticed, and we got bored, so we penned a second note and split up, my friend to deliver the note to someone to give to the person in charge, and me to go and wait for her at our base. (yes, we had a base and everything. -grin- We rock.) Just as we split up, we hear something to the effect of, "Hey! Someone tell (-persons name-) that the Magpie Band stole his stuff!"
Needless to say, my friend hightailed it back to me and we both hightailed it for our secret hideout. XD We made it there, then our other band member got there, then I (gr.) had to go back for my brother, who I had had to bring along to keep an eye on, and who had decided to turn around and walk back to the house. >_< I was irritated.
But anyways, I found him, and headed back to the base, but found that it was swarming with soldiers. So I couldn't very well go back there. So I wandered around the woods, hiding and sneaking and trying to find where my friends were.
The LARP ended before it could be resolved, but it was still fully awesome. B) ... Except for the fact I found skirts and scarves are NOT conducive to running about in the woods. OR dragging a younger brother around. XP But oh well. I still had a blast. And I still have yet to finish picking all the burrs and stickies out of my scarves and skirts. I'm TOTALLY wear pants next time.
Well, farewell until next time!
Nov. 23, 2009 - two days.frozen pudding.do it
i need to get out of bed. im starting to hate the fact that i have a laptop, which means i can just be anywhere in the house and be on the computer. that sucks.
did i just say that?
i think im going to go jogging today. since nicole's sick and so we cant go to the gym. i really need the gym. im having gym with-drawls. i dont even know how thats possible because for the past forever ive been complaining about how much i hate the gym. but apparently i dont, since im having with-drawls. weird how your brain works like that, huh?
i think everyone who reads this should switch their browser over to http://www.playlist.com and listen to Far Away by Nickelback. its the song that makes my day. everyday.
oh, that quote that i posted way late last night, is amazing. haha. i just randomly started typing, and ended up with something along the lines of that, and then i just went back and fixed it because it made no sense. so once it made sense, i posted it. but its amazing. im kinda proud of myself.
this entry is getting long and full of nothingness. probably because its almost ten in the morning and im still lying in bed. hey, gimme a break. theres only two days left of school. i can do school tomorrow and wednesday if i choose too. or i could just go get it done now. i choose now.
all i want for christmas is you.
Nov. 23, 2009 - imyours.
Nov. 22, 2009 - frisbee & sunday morning fiascos.
i might just pass out right now. oh my gosh im so tired. but its only because i was up all night watching the new star trek movie (which was amazing, btw) and then i had to get up early for church (which was amazing, btw), and then we played basketball and threw a frisbee around for like an hour and a half after church was over (which was amazing, btw). it was fun, though.
got to church, went out to the basketball court, and there he was. all the gorgeousness that makes him.. <3 UM.. K, anyway. I got my hugs, and then we watched everybody play basketball for like a half an hour. and we listened to Nickelback, and pretty much just hung out. and then in the middle of church the pastor was like.. "okay, i want anyone ages 11-20 to come up and stand next to me" so we all did.. and then he asked us what we were thankful for, and so in front of the whole congregation we had to tell him what we were thankful for. isaiah decided to crack a joke, so he was all "im thankful for you.", to the pastor. which made everyone laugh. i just said i was thankful for my family, because they're always there for me. so then he let us sit down, and we went back to whatever we were doing, and lael goes "im thankful for you" and it made me happy(: and then after church there was choir practice so we all just went back to the basketball court. and i didnt get home until like fifteen minutes ago, because choir practice ran longer then they thought it would. but i got to stay with shane, austin, allee, and bethany. and we just basically hung out and played basketball and threw a frisbee around for an hour and a half. and then it started pouring down rain, so we just went out and stood in it.. hah. life is good.
seriously though. i have so much to be thankful for. i have a roof over my head, i have food and water, i have clothes, i have a bed, i have family, i have friends, i have someone that truly cares about me and doesnt treat me like crap.. this has been a really good year. and im really thankful for that.
(*comment with what your thankful for?(: )
Nov. 21, 2009 - paul digiovanni.
just thought i would point that out because i was watching Boys Like Girl's videos and randomly decided that Paul DiGiovanni is one of the cutest guys ever. like seriously. and i showed Emily Rae and she's like "OH MY GOSH WHO IS THAT HE"S SOOOOO HOTT!!" <3(: cause its true. its very true. mmmhm. he's like gorgeous. like very gorgeous. haha. i need to get over this. im thinking about going to listen to Boys Like Girls after savanna and i aren't on the phone anymore.
like nothing happened today. i just cleaned the house, and folded laundry, and texted, and yeah. pretty boring. but church tomorrow =)
Nov. 20, 2009 - last day of fc3.
last day of friday school was today. it was a good day, though. sam and i were trying to make the last day of friday school the best day of friday school. and we did! well, we tried. i think we succeeded.
calligraphy went pretty good, Mrs. L just let us hang out and pretty much do whatever because it was the last day and she didnt really prepare to bring anything, so she was just like "today you can do anything you want.. just dont mess up the classroom, or leave the classroom." so thats what we did.
and in web design i think i finally learned how to set up my website at home without the help of Jay, which is a good thing. because i was doubting that i would ever be able to figure it out and get it up and running.. but i did. mmmmhm. are you proud of me? im proud of myself. but we got out of web design late because my website suddenly like died and i had to get it all back up and running again and it took like twenty minutes, and plus the rest of the class was having trouble with their websites. so.. we got out like fifteen minutes late and the next class that was waiting for the room was mad at us. but whatever!
and in writer's workshop i showed up late, and with a donut in my hand, so the class wasnt very happy with me. but it was fun, and i got to learn alot about the people in the class that i didnt really know before. good thing? bad thing? i dont really know yet. but i got email addresses and phone numbers and addresses for snail mail, text, and email(: so thats something to be happy about.
but the rest of the day is going to suck. i havent been feeling good, and my computer keeps acting up ever since i downloaded some stupid thing called Oovoo that's supposed to be like chatting back and forth on a webcam - webchat. sorry. forgot. but like, i downloaded it before and then it messed up my computer and so i uninstalled it, but then i forgot and installed it again.. see how my brain works? um. yeah.
