my life on a memory card

That's my blog.

Well, my other blog.

It's a secret blog.

Not really.

Just a not popular blog.

Very not popular.

Anyways, it's my photography blog. But I don't ever post anything on it.

Ever.

It's been over a year, I think.

But I still take pictures so I figured I might as well move it. Sort of. I'm just going to post my pictures on here, probably with the title 'my life on a memory card.' Yes, I am so creative. Bask in the creativeness. :)

Sooo, that means I'm deleting my life on a memory card. I'm sort of sad about it so I'm leaving it up for another week. Even though I never post on it, I still am sad. Don't call me weird, I have my reasons. Actually, I don't.... Right before it dies, go look at it. I'll probably repost some pictures over here, but don't count on it. -tear-

My announcement was short. And slightly unimportant. But look at pictures now. :) They's all mine :)

immature

I was more or less forced into writing this.

By less, I did it slightly voluntarily.

By more, I was told I could write a post.

Anyways...there's this guy I know who is always sarcastic with me, kinda funny actually. But when I was leaving, he started to stick his tongue out at me and I told him it was immature.

So my ride wasn't actually there so I went back in and was talking to him and one of our youth leaders. I asked our leader if it was immature if a guy is sticking his tongue out at you if it's immature.

Right now, yep, right this very minute, you need to think about what he says.

Seriously contemplate it.

Seriously.

Serious.

There's two answers to this question.

1. He says 'Yeah, that's immature. Guys in fourth grade do that.'

2. He sticks his tongue out at me.

Now consider which one happens.

Got your idea?

It's not the first one, nope.

He stuck his tongue out at me. Yep, then he proceeded to tell me that I can write a blog post about it and tell the whole world about how immature the guy was for stickin' his tongue out at me. And then he said I can throw him under the bus too.

So there you have it folks. I just -attempted- to throw them both under the bus....oh well...I wasn't sure what to confess next so I'm taking any ideas I'm given.

Just thought I'd let y'all know...sticking tongues out at girls is really immature. Just sayin'... =D

confessions of a funny girl part 3

I'm a Harry Potter nerd.

There's so many people I know who think it's a 'bad' book or it's 'terrible' because it involves magic and all that. But I grew up with Harry Potter and I was really sad when they ended it.

I don't know why I like it so much but I just do. Maybe it's the fact that Harry never felt like he belonged, like he was different. I never, ever felt like I belonged. I was always 'the outsider' because we moved so much and I was too afraid to make friends that I knew I would lose in a year.

So, I've gotten tons of flack from loving the books. People told me that I'm not being a good Christian because it 'tears me away' from God. I don't really get it, it's not like I believe in it or anything. I'm okay with the fact that I like the books. :)

There's my little confession :)

confessions of a funny girl part 2

I've always wanted to be written letters.

Hundreds and thousands of letters.

I know that sounds odd. Quite odd, actually. But it's always been this weird fantasy of mine. Maybe it has something to do with reading The Notebook at eleven. :)

Either which way, I've always wanted to write letters like that.

How is this a confession?
Honestly, I have no clue. :) It's just something I've always wanted to do, have someone I love write me dozens of letters and to write back. It all seems so romantic to me....

That got cheesy fast... :)

Relatively short post today. :) now go continue your lives and write a letter to someone. (you can write me one (or a thousand), you know. :)

confessions of a funny girl part 1

I stole this Bethany. :) I ran out of ideas for blog posts so I'm living off of hers. =D

Here's my confession:

I'm a Gleek.

I know. You've probably already got a list of reasons why it's such a bad show going through your head right now. But I like it.

Glee is really honestly a waste of my time. So is most of the TV we watch anyways. But it's so awesome because of the music. I'm a music fanatic, geek, addict, and lover. I'm obsessed with Taylor Swift and country music and Glee gives me plenty of music.

They've also made me cry.

In S1 Ep16, they talked about eating disorders, self image problems, and everything surrounding it. I remember bawling my eyes out and wishing the episode would just end. Yes, I know I could've turned it off. But where's the fun in that??

Something about that show is really cool. They talk about accepting the different and trying to change the world. It's about music and life. The real problems we all have.

One of the songs they did was a Bruno Mars song, Just the Way You Are. My best friend likes to constantly sing that to me, which gets odd because she's a girl and I've banned her from singing the second verse. :)

Some of the Glee episodes I really am not super thrilled with, but most of them I really like. So many times have they hit home with their problems. Some of them have troubles accepting who they are, we watch as those same characters become cocky self absorbed divas. Or visa versa. We watch as the head cheerleader makes a huge mistakes and gets pregnant by her boyfriends best friend. She suffers the consequences. It's not a show where they can do whatever they want and nothing bad happens to them.

I'll admit, I really, really, don't like Lea Michelle's character. She drives me insane. Her voice is annoying, and honestly, I don't think her singing voice is much better. Sure she can hit all of those high notes and stuff but when you sound like a six-year-old violinist (I've been a six-year-old violinist, I know what it sounds like) and squeaking all the time, you get annoyed. The other character's constantly gripe and groan about how her character gets all of the solos but yet, the producers still let her sing everything.

They did a religious-ish episode once, and it wasn't my favorite but it was funny. They did stress their faith and Christianity, but at the same time, some characters made fun of it and said that if all of this bad stuff had happened to them and their family, then how can God be real?

They did sing my song on that show so I'm now a bigger fan. I mean, how many shows in this day and age sing Sweet Caroline? Exactly... :)

So other than Rachel, a few of the other characters, and the religion episode, I'm pretty happy with it.

I'm going to end this post that has now gotten out of hand. :) I hope you all have a fantastic day and God bless :)

cousins, or twins?

My cousin is one of my favorite people in the world.

When we were little, we were convinced we were twins. We could've been, I mean, we were born four days apart.

My cousin has gotten me through everything. My relationships, guys, my life, my parents divorce, the crap I endure daily, and she's still okay. We've got each other and we'll make it together.

I was reminded today by a friend how awesome cousins are. My cousin is amazing, beautiful, a completely obsessed anime nerd, my Harry Potter buddy, my twin, the world's best counselor, the one who played piano with me for hours over Christmas break, a Taylor Swift fan right along side me :), and she means the world to me.

I know she reads my blog, so I just wanna let her know I love her and she's amazing. :)

Now that I think about it, I should've posted this on her birthday. Way to go, Meghan, way to go. XD

Today (or tomorrow (it's 10:30 right now...)) let your cousin know how much you appreciate them. Trust me, you probably wouldn't be where you are without them :)

(i didn't have any pictures specifically for cousins so enjoy my twin pictures :)

walk me down the middle

If y'all hadn't noticed, I have a slight (or major) obsession with country music. It's my favorite genre so I will constantly listen to it. And recently my obsession has been with The Band Perry (don't worry, I still love Taylor Swift, I'm just trying to branch out a little :). I've had their song If I die Young for a while but just recently got their entire album. And I'm in love with it!

My favorite song from their album is Walk Me Down the Middle. For some reason I love this song. I can't necessarily say it holds a ton of meaning to my life, but it's sort of how I always feel when I really like a guy. Where you just want him to notice you and realize that he likes you too. But sometimes it just doesn't work out like that. Too bad, it would make every day a fairy tale (I told you I wasn't over Taylor Swift).

I love this song and I want it played at my wedding. I swear I have lists of songs to be played at my wedding and my funeral. Yes, I do plan ahead. Very, very, far ahead. :) But hey, I can wish, right?

This turned out waaay more mushy than I had expected. -.-

Oh and I learned something today. So I say 'y'all' sometimes if I'm really tired or not watching what I say. (this makes no logical sense because I've never lived in the South though I have family from Kentucky so that might be part of it....still...). But I always spelled it like 'ya'll'. Apparently I'm wrong. -gasp- Happens a lot, actually....

Anyways, I guess it's spelled y'all so now I feel very bad at spelling. Which is insane because I'm failing at spelling country slang. Greaaat..... :)

So now I shall leave y'all alone...hope you now know what to play at my wedding and how to correctly spell slang. :) And yes, I did just pretend to be English and Country in the same sentence, thanks for noticing. :)

Ta-ta! =D

(Ps: I failed at picking one picture so here they all are :)

confessions, obsessions

So I like to go back and read my old blog posts to see how I've changed my writing styles and how I've evolved as a person. But I read some of my more recent (recent old posts??) posts last night and it got me thinking.

I decided to make a post of confessions and dreams of mine. I have a lot of odd quirks about me and things that are nothing but weird. Yes, I'm admitting I'm slightly perplexing. My best friend wears off on me. :)

Let's get started, shall we?

1. I don't like pie
Call me a hater, but I'm serious. Thanks gluten allergy. Like, I like apple pie and pumpkin pie, but only in tensy tiny proportions. Yus, I'm not the average Joe. That's because I'm not a Joe!! :)

2. I like toothpaste
It's not like I'll eat it straight from the tube or anything, but I swear I could stand all day and brush my teeth. Maybe it has something to do with my perfectionism.....But all that wonderful mint goodness...aaaahhh. :)

3. People say things that bring you to your knees
Thanks Taylor, awesome lyrics. :) But I just wish they'd keep that stuff in their minds. How is this a confession, dream, or an quirk? It makes me sad when I hear people rip on each other or on me. So yeah, more of an 'I'm emotional and I'm tired' thing.

4. I wanna be a rockstar
Yes, I will be using song lyrics as my titles. :) But I wanna be a country singer. Haha, call me crazy, insane, lunitatic (and I do make my own words up!) or whatever else you can think of, but all you are is mean.

5. I cry myself to sleep.
I'll be strong, I'll keep carrying on, because I know this ain't the end. No, it ain't the end.

6. I like Taylor Swift
If you hadn't noticed that before, than you may need some medical attention. Hate on her to your heart's content, but I really like her and her music. She's one of my role models and for good reasons. She's a strong, confident, young lady who knows that she is millions of people's role model and she said that she wakes up everyday knowing that. She's going to keep a good reputation because she knows that she affects people's lives. AND she's doing it in a good way.

7. I lie
Every morning, I put on my face. The one that's gonna get me through another day.

8. I really like these thingimajiggers ()
I think they're called parenthesis. Just warning you, it's early and I'm tired. Also, I'm slightly obsessing over how they look like smile lines ( )

9. Babysitting
Not my fave job ever, but it pays. Yeah so that's a quirk, I'm a teenager who doesn't like baby-sitting. But sometimes the kids are really cute. Like babies. :) (Ps. This adorable baby stole this expression from my sister who totally owns the copyright...ask my mom...:)

10. I struggle...
with writing this post. I said these were confessions and dreams. Oh and quirks. But they just sort of seem to be random things about me. Haha, I fail at writing about my own topic. Wow. I'm special. (yes, I did just call myself special, 'cause I'm special (probably not the kind of special you think I'm talking about (yes, I actually am that confusing)))

12. Cold
I'm used to the cold because I lived in Wisconsin and Illinois and Ohio, but I have hypothyroidism so my temperatures tend to be off. So like, today didn't seem cold to me, but I was cold all day. Make sense? I didn't think so...

13. I'm addicted to washing my hair
I'm completely serious. I always freak out if it smells even remotely weird (to me, that means it doesn't smell like shampoo...) or if something gets in it or anything like that. Don't tell me it's bad for me....I know that. I'm trying very hard to break that habit, but to no avail. During the summer, I would shower ever day and wash my hair at least twice. No lie. I've washed my hair three time in a day before. I think I might have actually washed it four times...

14. I hate my glasses
I wil not be seen in public with them. I know I used to wear them all the time, but in the past two years, no one has seen me in them. I could count on one hand how many people not related to me who have seen my in my glasses before. Yep, I'm legit. (oh and if I looked as cute as this puppy in my glasses, I'd totally wear them more)

15. Lipstick
I hate that stuff! I've owned three my whole life. I haven't even used half of each. I'm not a huge fan of lipgloss either. But kill me before you make me wear lipstick. (Ps. I love these coffee cups. (though, when I get married, I highly doubt he'll have a mustache that looks like that. :))

16. Oy, Joy
I know what you're thinking. Say whaaaa??? Yes. It's a book you've probably never heard of. It's really good though. And I think I've read it over a hundred times. I got it when I was like, ten or something. I kinda stopped counting after forty.

17. 11. 13. 199.
I have to stop and take a picture whenever I see one of these numbers. They're my favorite/lucky numbers. So yes, I have three lucky numbers and yes, I stop and take pictures whenever I see them. Expect a blog post!!!!! (on the last picture, I tried really really hard to get it to be 11:11:11 but then my computer froze. grrrrr...)

18. Washing, washing, washing, washing, oh look, she's washing again!
I'll admit, I have a slight obsession with washing my clothes. It's like washing my hair, only I do this like three times a week instead of three times a day (one few occasions, gosh!). I think I like washing things...

19. Brushing, brushing, brushing, brushing, brushing, brushing, oh wait, brushing, brushing, stop!
I guess this kinda applies to number 2....but I also brush my teeth obsessively. I have no idea why. I'm starting to get the impression that I have a cleaning obsession. Though my room is cluttered.....(Ps. This is a cute picture....just sayin'...I mean, if you've ever tried to brush your cats teeth you know how difficult it is...very....very....difficult...)

20. I eat really late at night
I don't know why I do, but I do. I can't help it because I get so hungry right at like 10 so I end up eating something. I don't get hungry before that but then when I'm read to go to bed and I have to eat something. :( quite sad I know.

short pants and ice cream

My pajama pants are too short.

It makes me sad.

I just got them for Christmas and they come almost halfway up my calf. But they are sooo comfortable. And you know what the best part is??? They're reversable!!!!! =D Once I grow again (see ya all next week! :) I think I might cut them into shorts. 'Cause they're that awesome! =D

I actually ate ice cream today -gasp- and all I could think about was Graeter's.

Best. Ice. Cream. EVER.

It's located in.....wait for iiiiiiit (PSYCH!!).....Ohio!!! :) I know right? Waaay out there. Sooo hard to get to there. Haha, but I love it!! They'll ship it to you! I'm serious. :) My favorite flavor eva' is Black Raspberry Chip. And I hate raspberries. :) But it's soooo good!! I would seriously pay hundreds of moneys right now just to get it. My vanilla ice cream was boring....I kept trying to pretend that I was eating Black Raspberry Chip....yeah, that doesn't work too well....

Look....and drool.....

now close your mouth....grab a towel....and wipe of that now disgusting keyboard =D

All of their ice cream that has chocolate 'chips' in them, is not true. Because they don't put just any ol' chocolate chips in there....they put chocolate chunks!!! It's amazing!! =D

I'm not even hungry right now...believe it or not.

Okay....I now don't have much to say....so I think I shall leave you and go exercise. Yesh, looking at ice cream makes me feel fat so I shall now go do some situps. :)
