My confession

Okay, so you know those secrets that you have, that you're not embarrassed about but they're kinda goofy and weird.  Well I have one of those, it's not super weird, but it is highly opposed by my sister.  It's also relatively new, well okay about five years old.  What is it? oh, yeah... I want to live in the country.  Yes my sister hates it when I burst out in random country songs, and wear plaid.  I personally find it perfect, very fresh and well country-ish.  I really wanted to buy the "Country Dance" Wii game, but no one would ever play it with me.  My mom finds my country-love strange, because I will decorate my future country home, with modern black and white furnishings.  But I like to call that eclectic.  And yes, I will have a home in the country, with acres of land, in a small town, where my barn will serve as a meeting place for my future church's youth group.  Yep I've planned my future.

ahh... A barn

So yes this is hopefully future life.  But for now I'm stuck in the suburbs.  And that is my confession.

Rain

I think rain is amazing.  Just thinking about it is cool.  It's literally water falling from the sky.  And then I learned about all the scientific stuff that goes along with it and it kind of messed up that idea.  But I still think rain is incredible, it's cool, refreshing, and when it rains the world gets a shower and seems cleaner.  I also happen to like cloudy days, they make me feel safe almost as if I were wrapped up in a big blanket of sky.  So I thought I'd share with you this picture of a road after it has rained... Actually I believe it's melted snow but the feeling is the same.

And I also like these rain related songs.
Enya---Listen to the Rain
Eddie Rabbit---I Love a Rainy Night

Sisters

Okay so, while I've been blogging I've mentioned my sister a bit.  however I left out one key fact... (pause for effect) My sister is iGirl.  From the blog idream.  She's the one you blame for getting me into to blogging.  And now we present a blog. brought to you by iGirl (called Danni) and Andi.  Called "The Science of Sisterhood."  So if you're a sister, know someone who is a sister, or have a friend that's like a sister then click the link.

Friday

"It’s Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday
Gettin’ down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend"----Friday Rebecca Black

So that song... the one I just typed... the one up there ^
Yes that one.  Seems to be the most hated song in the world... but also one of the most popular at the time that I'm posting this it has 89,251,721 views, 228,055 likes, and 1,784,240 dislikes.  In the 3 minutes and 48 seconds that it took me to watch it 111 comments came in.  So why do I care about this?  well honestly I don't really care, I'm just curious.  Why is she such a big deal?  The music company that wrote the song, did the editing and made the music video has done others.  Why is this one so big?  Maybe because it's "bad" instead of "good."  It's easier to find music that you dislike than it is to find music that you actually like.  Now I don't like the song or the singer, but it's kind of mean for everyone to attack her when she.... 1 didn't even write the song... 2 she wasn't picked up cause she was an amazing singer... and 3 she's thirteen.  Personally I think it's ridiculous to "hate" someone, especially someone you don't know.  Now I admit that I used to hate certain musicians just cause I didn't like their songs, but that's beside the point.  Don't hate the person hate the song.  Some people have a hard time doing that.  But for a thirteen year old I think she's actually handling it pretty well.  
So that's was my rant, I know not to impressive but I just had to say to all those commenters who hate her.  Hate the song, not the girl.  She didn't even write the song.

I'm on a mission

Recently I was watching "The Grid" which is a webcast provided by Kelby TV.com.  It's basically a talk show about anything Photoshop and or Photography related.  One of the topics they talked about yesterday, was cell phone cameras.  Stuff like, whether or not they were useful, what do you do with the pictures, and why are they so popular.  Since the show is mostly photographers, this is not the average response.  They said that cell phone camera were useful for scouting a location and stuff like that when they don't have a camera with them.  They said they rarely did anything with the pictures and they also said they were probably popular because you can share them quickly.  Many of the comments the show got during it's live broadcast said they would use it if the didn't have their DSLR camera with them.  Then it hit me that I'm blessed with a redonkulous DLSR camera that many aspiring photographers don't have.  So I'm going on a mission to bring my camera everywhere with me to take the most advantage of it.  Granted I've already taken over 30,000 photos on it but I want to use it more.  So that's my mission.  Hopefully this blog will be filled with many more pictures in the time to come.  But in the meantime, here's a picture while you wait.

"Like"

Remember in my "words I use a lot" post when I said I use the word like?  Well I do.  It sounds really annoying when you say it a lot though and so I'm trying to stop.  But it's so useful, you can use it in a whole bunch of different ways. For example:
1. to say how much you appreciate something--- Yeah, I like Jelly Beans.
2. to say how much you appreciate someone--- Oh, I really like Selena Gomez (not really, it's an example)
3. to express a long period of time--- for-like-ever
4. to compare to things--- it's like that emu riding a rhinoceros (again it's an example)
5. to stick in there when you don't know what to say--- And like then we like went there and did like everything
6. to described what someone said or did--- And she was like "wow really?" and I was like "no April Fools."

So those are some of the top ways like can be used, are there any more I missed.  So now in my plight to  stop saying the "L" word I have decided to use a rubber band.  Yes you read me no need to re-read.  I said a rubber band.  Why?  Have you ever seen the Disney Channel show Suite Life on Deck, well when one of them want to forget his ex-girlfriend he puts a rubber band on his wrist and whenever he thinks of here he snaps the rubber band on his wrist.  I know strange illustration but that's what I'm going to do I'll snap myself with a rubber band whenever I say li...the "L" word.  I've tried I before but on and off but this time I won't take it off. Until I'm cured that is.

In My Room

there's a world where I can go and tell my secrets to, in my rook...... ~The Beach Boys~
Everybody has that one place where they can go, that one place where they feel safe.  That's why men have 'man caves'  woman have...well the whole house.  But my little comfort zone is my bedroom, I know original right.  But seriously it's my space and I get upset when someone goes in there.
I have a personal space bubble around me, if someone gets too close I get uncomfortable.  My room is like an extension of that bubble when people come in it makes me uncomfortable.  Why am I talking about this?  Well because last night I had a dream where people were coming in and out of my room and taking stuff (it was scary when it happened.)  A while ago a had another dream about my room where some of my sister's friends came over and they decided to play in my room and have a sleep-over there.  It's not like I'm not proud of my room, I am but it's my little space and it's my personal life it's like my brain put into bedroom form.  And I don't want the world to see my brain.  Plus the bad dreams and bad experiences of people coming into my room.  So what's your space, your haven?
