And Miles To Go Before I Sleep

Ok so I would really love to be living in that house. It is a doorway of a house in Greece.

Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Robert Frost
US poet (1874 - 1963)

So I chose this quote today because I am short. I am also quite happy all of the time (even right now I am grinning like a fool) and so I thought that this would be a good quote for today! Plus also I love Robert Frost. His poems are my favorite. (If you didn't get that the title is from Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, to put it bluntly, you are an idiot.)

Today's word is "Higgledy-Piggledy" which means "In confusion or disorder." I don't know why exactly I picked that word. Only that I wanted the word to start with an "H" and I wanted it to be an odd one! (Aw dont worry word! I'm an odd one too!)

So I would like to start the rest of my blog by saying sorry for having not written in a couple days. Certain family members of mine keep stealing my computer!

So I figured out why so many college students drink...well most of them anyways. They are afraid of the future and change and what is going to happen to them after this. They drink all those problems.

NOW! Onto a happier topic! Dances are fun even if you have no idea what you are doing! I'm sure a lot of people wish that they were longer (including me!). They do need to start playing better songs though. I mean, come on! Soulja Boy was old a loooooong time ago. Ugh, seriously.

I am now going to point out some random/obvious things:
The public bathroom will ALWAYS smell bad.
Missing someone really sucks.
Teenagers will NOT clean their room (unless they have ocd).
Talking to your dog DOES mean you are crazy.
People don't call you as much when you are bored.
It really does hurt to break a nail (despite other people's beliefs in that).
Women do not need purses, they just have them cause they are great accessories.

Well I cannot think of anything else to wright except Violet Strike is going to be a book-must-buy! And also that I cannot sleep!!! So I will "blog to ya later"

carpe diem!

5, 6, 7, 8!!!


Truth is what stands the test of experience.
Albert Einstein
US (German-born) physicist (1879 - 1955)
Choreography : the art of composing ballets and other dances and planning and arranging the movements, steps, and patterns of dancers.

Today's topic is ballet! I LOVE it! Ballet is very misunderstood. A lot of people don't think that it is a very difficult thing to do. Let me tell you right now: it is one of the hardest things you will ever do. I know a football player that is in dance and even he says dance is harder! SO THERE! Plus also it is pretty sweet to be able to say that you can do the splits. Hmm...I don't like banana splits.

I would just like to say right now that tights are not uncomfortable. Panty hose are! But not tights! I think that is why dancers wear them. Because they aren't as uncomfortable. I remember that there was this old tv show that this random woman walked into this shop that the two main characters were in and asked for tights and tried them on. She then proceded to jump off a counter straight onto the floor in the splits. Ok even though I can do the splits...it dosnt make it hurt less to even think about doing that!

Today I would like to be in the Covent Gardens watching Don Quoxite.

I didnt really feel like writing today so sorry if this blog sucks.

carpe diem!

And on the Third Day There Was War


Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.
P.J. O'Rourke
Casus Belli or in other words : war.

Ok. So. What is up with all of those goonies trying to stop the war? Do they not know that if we pull out that we could possibly loose our whole country!? I know it really isn't that great but still! (yeah I'm prolly movin to like...England or somthing! Somewhere they speak english...I can hardly speek that let alone another language! Now back to my topic...) People need to understand that even though a lot of things are going wrong here, there are still a lot of people out there doihng all they can to let us keep our freedom.

Rant over. Sorry about that! So I have to say that I really like the pic I chose for today. It makes me laugh. And yes I know there is a lot of meaning behind this picture and yada yada yada but I just think that I like it superficially! It makes me laugh. And I love things that make me laugh!

Haha my dog is staring at me here on his couch...I took his spot. Oops! But I really dont feel like moving!

I would also like to say that I did, in fact, get to read more of my friend's book last night! It is going very well!!

Well I have a bunch of cleaning to do today...I know it's no fun but someone has to do it. Ugh. I hate being responsible.

Today I would like to be in Adrian Michigan...because it has the same name as the amazing character in Alisha's book!

carpe diem!!

Of Shoes and Ships and Sealing-wax

This is the picture of the day!!! It's of a 500 year old olive tree. I know! It's incredible right!?

(well apparently you have to click on that little rectangle to see the picture)

Todays Quote (yes I know I never said anything about a quote but I decided that I really liked them and so I was going to include those in my "___ of the day(s)") :

Nothing discernable to the eye of the spirit is more brilliant or obscure than man; nothing is more formidible, complex, mysterious, and infinite. There is a prospect greater than the sea, and it is the sky; there is a prospect greater than the sky, and it is the human soul.
Victor Hugo, Les Miserables
French dramatist, novelist, & poet (1802 - 1885)

So Les Mis is my favorite musical of all time and so I thought this would be fitting for my blog. Since it is about what I want on here and not what you want...(I mean...it IS my blog!)

Word of the day is: Floccinaucinihilipilification-The action or habit of judging something to be worthless.
The reason why I picked this word today is because it is completely rediculous. And I love completely rediculous things!

Today I would really love to be in France. Seeing as how I bought myself a new hat and scarf that looks very artistic. I really feel like I should be in France, with all the Francy people!

You may be wondering from my last post what the Faroe Islands are! They are a very insignificant, hard to see, middle of nowhere, little islands. The only reason I really know about these is because one of my best friends lives there! I met her in school, she was an excange student, and no one knew where in the halibut she was from. So now I am trying my best to get those little islands out there! YOU DO EXIST! I PROMISE!

My other best friend is currently writing a book that should get published, and most deffinately will anyways (if she decides to pic up the pace!). You should look at her blog Violet Strike.

"The time has come", the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes and ships and sealing-wax,
And cabbages and kings."

carpe diem!

Whisper Sweet Nothings...

So this will be my place to write about absolutely anything. Musings, music, books, news. Absolutely anything! (Unless it's about old men picking their seats...ugh that would just be nasty!) Get ready to be entertained! I am a very random person. See above statement in the parenthesis. I am going to use this blog to break out of my children-are-meant-to-be-seen-and-not-heard state of mind! To finally be able to say what I wish! To spring from the clutches of childhood! I WILL BE FREE! ...oh...sorry...got a little carried away...

Anyway...

A lot of things will be talked about on here like...why you should know about the Faroe Islands, why a lot of great writers are not published, which writers are amazing but complete idiots like, say, Stephanie Meyer. Today's blog is about this blog. Obviously. If you haven't figured that out yet...go back to school. If you did figure that out by yourself, give yourself a pat on the back! You deserve it!

I will also be telling you my word pic of the day, favorite picture of the day, and also where I would like to be at the moment.

Today I would like to be on the beach.

(aww I just heard the cutest little laugh outside my window!) Blog to ya later!

carpe diem!
