Stopping by to Say Hi!

       So I know that I've not written in a while, and I don't even know if anyone has noticed, but just in case there is anyone out there who is thinking, "Oh man, I wish she'd write something else. She's a genius and is not contributing to the better of society when she doesn't blog for a month." Do not worry. I will be back again soon. I am currently tied up with the holidays, finals, and the Festival of Christmas concert at my university. All of which are extremely time consuming and frankly, exhaustive. 

       In conclusion, altogether, finally, in all, count on a really detailed and all-encompassing blog in about two or two and a half weeks when I'm on break. Stay tuned!

Thanks for reading!

Free Write

So today I am electing to free write. This means I will be typing everything that pops into my head-penguin-without stopping to formulate a story or anecdote about it.

So I don't really know what to start out with, but I was considering describing my desk, but then that would be REALLY dumb...Last week I did really well on a process write for my Humanities class. It was on Mary Rowlandson and we had to write a story in her style of writing. It was really fun. I really like creative writing.

I have had a hugely busy week this past one. I mean NOT EVEN KIDDING. I took a screen shot of my calendar on my computer at the beginning of the week and it was five different colors, overlapping events, and at least two major things happening each day, not counting normal things like classes and meals and homework. OMG, so much!

I recently found a new artist I love: Jamie Cullum. This is funny because he's an English/British jazz artist and I swore I''d never like jazz, I hated the music up until I heard his song called "Twentysomething". My new favorite! Another think I recently discovered was Amazon.com. I'd never really looked into the possibilities of the site before. I knew what it was but never had any reason to actually use it. Well, let me tell you, there are some good deals on there! As well as crappy-why-would-you-ever-pay-money-for-this items too. But now I keep getting suggestions for more stuff I should buy or that I might "be interested in" from the website, and I'm like, "Leave me alone!" Anywho...

I've been wanting to make a video with my friends so I can use my editing stuff on my Mac, but I just haven't found the perfect story board for it yet. Actually funny thing I should think of making videos because me and my friend last year came up with a great story line for a YouTube video: how different things would be in movies or plays if the character just had cell phones. Take for example Romeo and Juliet, those kids could have at least had a decent shot at love if they could just text each other til 2 in the morning. Or take It's A Wonderful Life. That guy in it would have never gotten as far as the bridge if someone would have just called him to see where he was. But then again then that angel guys wouldn't have had the chance to get his wings by saving him then. That one's a toss up I guess. Princess Bride would have been a lot different, not to mention shorter, all of these would be a lot shorter. Probably more like a commercial.

So back to my point of the last paragraph. ( I TOLD you it was going to be random.) The other day we found out that someone had already stole our idea and made a video on that exact subject recently. Sad day we said.

I'm really tired and I have to work again tomorrow so I'm going to head out. Peace yo! Just kidding I don't say that in real life. More like "talk to you later" except for changing the first "t" to "type" so it would really mean "type to you later!" Okay, I'm really going now.

Things That Amaze Me

So there are certain things in this world that simply amaze me. And not always in a good way.

One: Colour changing water bottles. I got one from my university's booth at our state fair last month and it's just way cool. It's white or clear in room temperature and then it changes to dark blue in the fridge! You can put your fingers on the side when you take it out of the fridge and you leave small white circles all over. You don't even have to guess which bottles you recently put into the fridge and which ones have been in there overnight, you just know because of the colour!

Two: Kid leashes. What kind of parent would feel so inclined to put a leash on their child? I mean I suppose it keeps the kid form getting lost, but couldn't you just be a responsible parent and that would serve the same purpose? I guess this falls into a similar category as putting bells on a toddler's shoes to warn you when they're coming down the hall. If you're a parent, shouldn't you always know where your kid is regardless of their shoe's decibel?

Three: Whipped yogurt. I love whipped yogurt. I can't understand those people who don't like it. I know people who buy the whipped kind and then stir it all up because they don't like the texture. I have a solution for them: buy the regular kind. It will save you stirring effort. Whipped yogurt is delicious, I don't care what anybody thinks. Chocolate Mousse is my favorite flavour.

Four: The effects of shampoo on my hair. I don't understand how all those types of random shampoos have such differing results. I thought that it was just fancy hair soap, but maybe they do all have their own unique patented formulas to lock in moisture and make hair ten times as strong as the leading brand. Hooray for shampoo!

Five: My attention spans. Apparently I don't just have one, I have many. A long one for playing orchestra pieces by famous composers, a medium one for class time, a short one for work-depending on what job I'm at, and an even shorter one for classes don't particularly enjoy, or, when I'm supposed to be doing homework and somehow end up on one of my favorite-ed websites. Erm, no one saw that relapse of my Facebook addiction right?
