Random!

Here we go again!!!

Demi Lovato!

Apparently she's on drugs? that was a turn I wasn't expecting. It's kinda sad because she actually has a good voice....

Beyonce. I think she has the most AMAZING voice ever. I don't care if she writes her own songs or not... she performs EVERY SINGLE ONE like its her own!

Single Ladies!

Yeah, I went there....

Being single really can be fun... but I don't think I'll miss it that much :)

I really miss a lot of people right now. The top of my list is my Mamaw Brenda who passed away a couple years ago from lung cancer.

Cigarettes are gross! They're not attractive, and they stink. Literally. Just don't smoke.

Live above the influence!

So many commercials...

I can't get these dumb Christmas carols sung by British kids out of my head!

Straight No Chaser- Christmas Can Can... look it up. Right now. It's awesome.

Our God, is an awesome God He reigns, from Heaven above...

and wonders of His love, and wonders of His love... (stop staring at the computer screen like that, I can't see you!)

was blind, but now, I see...

Good Lord help me.

There can be miracles, when you believe

apparently Whitney Houston is on drugs too? What is it with these famous people?

If you ask me, fame doesn't seem that glamorous. I'm the type of person who needs some personal space, and will not be happy when they're crossed. I will get arrested for assault after too long, with the way some of these paparrazi people act!

Haha, Paffarazzi : ) FORGET YEARBOOK, CALL IT THE PAFFARAZZI!!!

Yeah, APUSH is awesome.

Oh My Gosh. Finals are next week...

I'll prolly not do very good in APUSH...

But oh well. Once I graduate, I'll just... smile because it happened...

O Christmas Tree

Wow, that video was amazing. I think I've seen something like that before. I would show it to my family, but knowing them, they'll try to duplicate it, and it won't be pretty. But actually, my favorite part of Christmas decorations aren't the lights on the houses, even though they can get to be pretty entertaining... Actually, what I really look forward to seeing every year are the differnt ways Christmas trees are decorated. I'm especially fond of how the tree at my mom's house looks every year. It's absolutely stunning, and something about it makes you want to curl up by a cozy fire place with some hot chocolate watching some old cheesy Christmas movie. It's an older tree, older than I am, and yes, some of the branches HAVE fallen off, and yes, we have just gotten BIGGER ornaments to fill in the gaps! The tree is full of cherubs, snowmen, gold, crimson, ribbon, and of course some of the ornaments my sister and I had made in the third grade... But its just a beautiful tree, and we have a lovely vintage star to put on top... I love our tree. Maybe that's just because that's how it always is, thanks to Mom's great eye for decorations and design...

I also love how Mamaw's tree is decorated, who is my mother's mom... So I guess that's where she got it from??

I don't know, but I hope I inherit the decorations, or at least a good enough eye to make my tree look as beautiful... and even if I don't, I'll look back at the tree mom decorated and just... smile because it happened...

Thanksgiving Tradition

I guess my Thanksgiving tradition is pretty normal. Go to Dad's side of the family to visit my great grandmother and distant family that I don't talk to on any other occassion, and then Go to Mom's for the real Thanksgiving dinner... Then eat the leftovers for weeks. I love being able to see people that I don't get to see, to hear some news (which honestly is never very exciting in my family), and listen to the dysfunctional arguing of the families on both sides.

So I guess you could really say I have a normal tradition (as normal as a holiday will be for a child of divorced parents) with a ton of abnormal people. It really could be worse... But I love our family get togethers, and the awesome food that comes with it! Christmas will be even better, I just know it! But maybe that's my inner child speaking? You can decide on that one!!

But every year, the people get stranger, and the laughs come harder, the smiles grow bigger, the kids get taller and the old people get more wrinkles... but in the end, looking back, I'll just... smile because it happened.

Music

Isn't music a funny thing? Think about this logically... you can't SEE music... you can't FEEL music... but it can move someone with greater force than any physical force. That's amazing to me. Music starts out as individual notes, seemingly insignificant, but once strung together, they become the most beautiful ballad. Or maybe, its the opposite, and they become a powerful march, or a fun dance song, or even so devastatingly sad it moves us to tears. Every song tells a story, some of them can be similar, but not a single song out there is written exactly the same... and it's very interesting that out of 8 notes... an infinite combination can be made to form full genres of music.

Now, not everyone is moved in the same way. Like poetry, songs can be interpreted in many different ways... and that's another main part of the beauty of it all. Almost every song can be made personal, and then this invisible, untactile occurrence develops a meaning. And that is exactly what music is all about.

"But I have to wonder, where did it all start? Who found out that nothing can capture a heart like a melody can?" A line from the song "Thank You For the Music" version by Amanda Seyfreid. Who found music? When? I will never know, but even the oldest of people knew that there was more to life than what the eye can see, and every time they heard that music, they would just... smile because it happened...

Strange Weather

The weather lately has been absolutely insane... I mean... since when is it almost 80 degrees in November? It doesn't make any sense, and actually... its a little scary... I always associate warm weather in the colder seasons with tornadoes... and I don't really like storms! Of course, we did have that tornado warning just the other day... Oh well. Hopefully things will even out soon. Don't get me wrong, I love the warm weather, in fact, I think we should skip winter on every other day but christmas eve and christmas and just be in fall and spring all year round... But warm weather just isn't right during this time of year!

And, admittedly, I'm more worried about my car than my house... I mean, I can't park in my garage, so I really don't want stuff flying around, and putting a huge dent in my car! Surely you understand!

But, even if there is a tornado, and I get a dent in my car... I'll have no choice, but to just... smile because it happened...
