Music Monday

I haven't done a music monday in a while. i found/love this band, they are called I Fight Dragons.

If any of you enjoyed Zelda as a kid, or teen, or adult, you'll enjoy this.

[some mild language is used.]

Happy Music Monday!

ilovemyfriends.

today, today is a day where everything i wish would come true.

i'd be finished with school,

i'd have a car,

Erin would be gone,

my dad would not be involved with erin.

at all.

but, alas, life is not that way.

so,

i'm just going to be happy.

Winnie the Pooh-bear had it all right.

whenever things go wrong,

he just said "oh bother."

so, world,

Oh. Bother.

Happy Saturday!

Glee

SyFy.

Yes, I stole this from my sister. Why you ask? Mostly because i don't think I can name 40 things at this time of the morning. But hey. We'll see.

1. I don't like when people are upset with me for unknown reasons. It's a little annoying. I would much rather know why I made you upset and either fix it or you could still be mad with me. But then at least I'll know.

2. I truly enjoy hearing other's problem. ...to a point. If you complain about the same shiz, then I will get annoyed.

3. I like walking around outside without shoes. I really do.

4. I want to be the coolest history teacher in the world. I think it's because I had some amazing history teachers in my time. MAN. I truly adore them, still to this day.

5. I love driving my dad's car.

6. I hate it when my dad's car smells funny. (IE smoke, weird food, nasty nasty dog)

7. Don't tell, but I like it when my friends drive my car. I feel oddly safe when they drive my car.

8. I don't like being alone. Like right now, my dad is over at *ahem* her house. I hate it. I hate being alone, and I hate that he's there.

9. I'm a pretty big hippie. A hippie who likes to shower and have a job. But still. Animal activist, non-red meat eating, walk-around-without-shoes hippie.

10. I have become very much into Taoism. It's so, peaceful. I feel like my life isn't as complicated.

11. I dislike manipulative people.

12. I miss camping, bonfires, and sleeping under the stars.

13. I have this bracelet that I made a couple years ago that I still wear. IDK why, but I feel very lost without it.

14. I love my family. A lot.

15. I miss being a kid... like when nothing really mattered besides who is "it" in hide-and-seek.

16. I don't like that my dad is still in love with his ex-wife.

17. I'm not much for spectator sports, but I do love me some high school sports and some college sports. Mostly volleyball and basketball. I'm not much for football though.

18. I was afraid of everything when I was younger. ...and I mean EVERYTHING.

19. I find the supernatural intriguing. I can't decide if it's real or not.

20. I don't have just one favorite color. I truly do love them all.

21. I don't know where I would be without my friends. We just all fit together perfectly.

22. I am not a very girly person, but I love having my nails done. love love love love.

23. I don't know how I am going to handle dealing with baby poop. I get sick so easy... I just hope that the "when it's your baby" theory works, or I have a fabulous husband who will change diapers all the time.

24. My family is definitely cooler than your family.

25. I miss California, but I don't think I would move back.

26. I don't drink soda anymore. It's kind of crazy, because I use to drink soda everyday, at least 2 cans.

27. I miss school. I need school. I want homework. (I must be crazy)

28. I would love to stay in Idaho if the winters were not as long.

29. I get easily annoyed with whiny people. It's sort of sad, because I like to help/listen to people.

30. I hate hospitals.

31. Sometimes, I question my religion.

32. Then I realize I am being silly.

33. My favorite outfit for men is dark wash slightly jeans, a nice light colored collared shirt and nice shoes... Or even skate shoes. Fitted jeans... mmmhmmm.

34. There are things you just can't share with your family. Or at least you should wait a while until you tell them.

35. I believe in ghosts.

36. I am a firm believer in hotel camping.

37. I love tea!!

38. Swinging on swings is ridiculously therapeutic.

39. I love being scared.

40. I am not sure if I have repeated myself on this list of 40, but I hope you enjoyed it anyway.

Happy Wednesday!

inspired.

I was inspired by Kimber Holmstrom, a neighbor/friend of mine. She's pretty rad, and I like her a lot. Plus her and Scott made a waaaay cute baby Ruby, so mad props to the lovely little familia.

So, I was inspired by Kimber's quote post, so I decided to post one of my own. I've been reading The Tao of Pooh, and have been looking into Taoism and came across the man Lao Tzu. He's the "father of Taoism." Amazing, amazing man. So. Here's some from father Tao to enrich your life.

"Anticipate the difficult by managing the easy."

"Be Content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you."

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."

"Manifest plainness, embrace simplicity, reduce selfishness, have few desires."

Happy Wednesday. :]

Something of Substance [finally]

So, all of my previous posts for a several weeks have been about music. and pictures. As my sister, I love lists, mostly because I hate trying to form sentences on what is going on in my life. So, here you are, something of substance, because a couple weeks ago Scott Holmstrom asked if I "post" on my blog anymore. haha, so Scott, dear complex neighbor, here you go. [along with all those lovelies who read my blog, also.]

- I have a job. Granted it's at the ROC, but hey. It's money coming in, which is greatly appreciated.

- I have decided to go to BYU-I, and I need to go through the process of reapplying. SO STOKED. :/

- With the decision to go to BYU-I, I will not have to commute to Idaho Falls every darn day for the next 2 years. hooray!!

- I still have amazing friends, whom I love dearly. We have so much fun together, it's addicting.

- I have a room! and my papason has his room back, so it's a happy deal.

- Everyone has returned for BYU-I semester, and my ISU lovelies are just about finished. I am a happy panda.

- I will hopefully have a car for fall semester. Whether it be my brother's old Isuzu, or one purchased with my left over pell grant money, we shall see. I am just happy that I will have a vehicle again.

- I know the summer is around the corner. I KNOW it is there, somewhere, begging to come and play. So, I'm praying for warm weather. [you should, too.]

And, as a grand finale, a wonderful quote from the Tao of Pooh, "When I let go of what i am, I become what I might be."

Lovely Wednesday!
