Third day of April and...

...I really have nothing to blog about, but I'd really like to do my best at the BEDA challenge.

I always love a good challenge...I mean I did stick through marching band. That was a challenge in and of itself.

Tonight is the season premiere of "The Best Years". Now I normally don't like shows like that, but I just started liking it. The show first made it debut years ago. I though that it wasn't going to come back, that we were just going to be left with a cliff hanger (And I really can't stand when a story is left like that). Well it has finally come back, and in good time too!!! I'll be able to see the entire season before I go off to Awanita. I wish they would have done that with Instant Star Last year. They didn't even replay any of it.

I am counting down the days to Awanita!!! I want this year to be different then last year. I feel like I alienated myself from everyone, and didn't form any strong bonds like I thought I would. This year is going to be different. I'm going to make sure I don't ostracize myself from the group. I am looking forward to leaving home this time. Last time I was scared, and now I know what it's like to away from home. I actually like it. It actually was a boost for me to want to move out, and move forward in my life. It's a great feeling.

I just need to get situated.

I just can't believe it's already almost summer again. It just feels like time has flown by. I'm looking forward to the future, but I like living in the present. I just want to know that I've fulfilled everything I want in life.

Anyway I though I'd start doing what I used to do on my live journal, and post a video of the day, and a quote of the day.

Video of the day is from LiveLavaLive. He's really good at making really artistic videos and this one is my all time favorite of his. It's "The Idea"





And the quote of the day is a quote I found the other day for a friend of mine. It's a musical quote, and it speaks a lot of truth!!!
"If a composer could say what he had to say in words, he would not bother trying to say it in music" ~Gustav Mahler

That's pretty much it for today. I will probably have something more interesting tomorrow....Hopefully!!!

Much love

Random thought.

The phrase "Talking behind your back" really isn't correct. If you are talking behind some ones back then you are technically talking to their front.

So next time you go to use that phrase, think before you use it.

BEDA

BEDA is an acronym for Blog Every Day April. I figured this out through the Nerdfighter ning, and I thought I might give it a try...

Though for those of you that know I will not be able to write a blog post every day because of my brother.

It's his computer, and since he only really works during the weekends I'd only have those days to write a blog. SO I'm going to call my effort Blog Every Day That I'm On The Computer April, which ends up being BEDTIOTCA. That actually looks like it would be a really cool captcha.

Anyways Yesterday I started and finished a book my friend had to read for one of the coolest English teachers ever, Mr. Fish. The book is called "Anthem" by Ayn Rand. Yes I know it's only a hundred and 3 pages long, but I found it to be a very good book. I enjoyed it, and it made me think about what it would be like if that actually happened. I recommend it, and trust me it won't waste your life. I read it in an hour and a half (, but technically two hours because I had to take a break for supper.)

Tomorrow I have my radio show, and for the second week in a row, we are recording the podcast tomorrow as well. Now I'm not as stressed about it as I was last week, so that should make it a little bit better. I just need to remember to send the song I want to use to Jason...I'll just do that now.

Other than that I got my Awanita packet in the mail, and I am once again on Ropes course. I'm excited. One thing that shocked me was that Bama also signed up for ropes course too. I wish she would have told me. Oh well, it made for one good surprise to know that I'm not going to be out there in the ropes course alone and bored.

Well I have to go. It's almost time for church and I am not even ready. lol

I'm confused

Completely and utterly confused.

I wish this person that confuses me so would stop doing it!!!!



That is all.

haha finally an interesting week!!!

So this week was very eventful, to me at least.

Tuesday I went camping with my friends Lauren, Sam, and Jon. This was my first time ever going camping, so I was excited. We went to Lake Jocassee. It's the only Lake I've been to so I can't really say it's the best lake I've been to.
We set up camp, and went walking about. Around 9 pm Sam and Jon went for a hike, and Lauren were going to join up with them. After about 30 minutes were went out to the lake. We didn't know which way they went, so we just stayed near our camp site. That's when we met two of our camp site neighbors, Ross and Matt. They were cool, and we ended up hanging out with them while waiting for our guys to return. So when we joined them we also met Jon, Mika(I think that's how he spells it), and Zeek. They were really friendly nice guys, and were very generous. They offered us drinks, and were just awesome guys to hang out with. They'd be the type of people I'd hang out with on a regular basis.
Anyway the guys returned at like 1:30 am. Sam lost his cool flashlight. It had a red, green, blue, and white light. I wanted it!!! Well I went to sleep once they got back. I pretty much blacked out...until 3 am. It got cold really quick. So I laid there for a while trying to get warm...no luck. After a while I got up, and put on every bit of clothing I brought with me, and went back into the tent. Even that didn't help. After a bit Lauren had to go to the bathroom, and I went with her. When we got back I just decided that I'll just stay awake, cause they was no way I'd be able to get back to sleep. So I pretty much only got like an hour and a half of sleep. Not that I minded. I had my Zune, some paper, pens, a book light, and thoughts, and I wrote a lot. I also got to see the sunrise, which is something I never really get to see. I took a lot of pictures. I'll post a lot of them at Deviantart.com but here's one of my favorites. all in all I had a great time. Thought there is one that that's going to boggle me. We had a conversation with the neighbor guys, and they asked us if we heard the other tent making noise. I didn't hear a thing, and Sam did, and he's deaf. He took his hearing aid out, and he still heard the other tent making noise(and what I mean by noise is the people in the tent were having sex.) I must have been in such a deep sleep, that I just couldn't hear it. I wish that deep sleep lasted more than an hour or so. lol

Once I got home I had to take a quick shower and get ready for church. Oh goodness, I almost fell asleep playing a song at orchestra practice. It was awful. I'll go ahead and tell you that I slept so good that night. Kathryn and I were suppose to go to the mall the following day, but due to certain circumstances, she had to postpone. So I got to over sleep, and I must say it was the first time I've actually liked sleeping over.

Friday, Kathryn and I went to the mall. We did what we normally do, and try on some weird outfits, and prom dresses. She also had to look for a prom dress for her boyfriend's prom. She had absolutely no luck. I mean there were some okay dresses but none of them were really great.we found some really stupid dresses though and I took pictures of two of them. The bad thing about it is these are considered prom dresses. What happened to society to think these look good. (Though the plaid dress I'd wear to like a punk rock show.)
I had a lot of fun, and I'm glad I was able to hang out with Kathryn because it has been forever since I've actually hung out with her.
















Anyway. That's pretty much it. Recording for the podcast this week got pushed till tomorrow after church. I just hope I don't have my adrenaline rush like I did about an hour and a half after we last did our stick routine for youth choir. I'm excited because we actually get to do the stick routine for the youth group. I hope we do good, and that the younger ones don't get to nervous.

Talk to you all later.
