A feather ruffling in the wind...

I like to read books. Yes, books that often times do not have pictures. I like to envision the different characters that make my mind race, and picture places that are not entirely a part of this world. Just think about the endless possibilities the imagination has that is too often limited by the ability of a hand. The imagination paints much better pictures than any artist ever will.

A Walk Down Memory Lane.

Tonight, after slightly being criticized for having a blog, I was reminded of the fad of Xanga, and realized that I had definitely had a blog before. I went back and read all of the posts, which were much more numerous than I had assumed them to be. So these are two blurbs that I had posted in my Xanga almost 4 years ago and I thought I would transfer some over to my new blog.  I found this first one to be ironic, especially because of the ending that looks very similar to the ending of my most recent blog post. Funny how so much can change within four years, but some things remain the same. Enjoy!

"Well, a LOT has happened, but it's the past so why worry about it? It's the present right now... so get off your sorry ass and do something about it, make every day worth living, and remembering. And forget what things happened two weeks ago, two days ago, last night. Just move on... That's when you will find pure happiness. When you can just be yourself in the present and not live everyday in yesterday. Well there is my philosophical blurb for today. Learn to love yours! Have a Great Day! Cya cool cats later!"

"Those special moments, where our eyes met, for a few seconds, we looked away, and then looked back and smiled genuinely...I will never forget them..."

Skankin' to That Music They Play

I completely forgot I had started a blog, but then again, who really cares? I have no followers, yet. But I guess this is just my place to escape, to be who I want to be, and to say what I want to say. At least it's not just a little diary like I used to keep. I actually came across some of those this past summer, and I was a very dark little girl, despite by extremely sunny exterior. Strange. Anyways, I am as usual on the brink of another dark and looming test, but for the time being, I am not too worried about it. Ask me about it tomorrow, and I will be going crazy. Ha. 

So last night I watched Slumdog Millionaire. Although I thought it was a good movie, I definitely did not think that it was "Best Picture" worthy. Best Picture material, sure. But I definitely believe that Milk should have won. I haven't seen any of the others, so I am a bit biased, but Milk at least covered something that pulled at a lot of our heartstrings. Those who have a heart at least. Anywho, I definitely think that Sean Penn's speech was great.

I am seriously just kickin back, enjoying another beautiful day indoors, two blocks from the beach, where I am sure the sunset was unbelievable. Maybe if I actually try this week, I can catch one of those spectacular things. One of my favorite things. Sunsets always remind me that no matter how bad your day has been, somewhere else in the world someone is getting a brand new start, and they will feel the same way when the sun sets for them. 

Enough with the philosophical gobbledy gook. I have some spanish to attend to.

Perfectly Awkward

I am sitting here, completely living off of a caffeine high that I am hoping will last the whole night. I have a HUGE test tomorrow, and I really doubt I will do as well as I am hoping I will. I suppose that's what comes with no studying, no reading, no listening. 

Well, today was just another day. I love my new bicycle. My dad wants to call it Cinnabon, and my Mom wants to call it Coco Chanel. I think I will go with Daddy's decision, although Coco Chanel sounds more sheek, I just like how my dad came up with a name like Cinnabon. :-) 

I am just so tired, and I cannot wait until tomorrow after Psych. I really just want this wave of midterms to be over! Doesn't everyone though?

I cannot wait until this weekend.  Isn't this time of year just awkward? S.A.D. (Singles Awareness Day) is coming up, and I am sort of taken. I am quite happy with that.

Anyways, I don't have much to say except that I really enjoy KT Tunstall's Throw Me a Rope because it is a perfectly awkward song for a perfectly awkward feeling. It really describes how I feel today.

Sunday Morning...

Rain was falling, for the past two days. I am not sure exactly how I want to start out my blog, but I will just use the status that I have put up on my FaceBook for the time being...

Words cannot describe the emotion floating over me, resting there like a poignant cloud waiting to drown out my thoughts and feelings. 

Hmmm pretty darn deep for being created last night around one.

Today is a new day, and for the time being, I am going to get ready and then spend a luxurious day with my family, who came all this way to be with me.
