You Make Me Happy When Skies Are Grey

Today I went to the all states concert that my boyfriend was playing piano in. I adored the jazz ensemble (his part) yet (and I feel bad for saying this) got really tired in the other groups and nearly fell asleep. As I was out to dinner with his parents and sister, I had an idea for a blog post but I didn't write it down and now have forgotten it. I have now just spent a car ride home with said boyfriend and his mom and it has been so nice having him back, even if it just was briefly for an hour car ride home. So this post shall be a things I like page (like my lists from listography!)

Things that make me happy

  • opening a favorite book for the umpteeth time
  • listening to new music
  • the sound of the rain
  • kisses on my cheek
  • monthly playlists
  • arrested development
  • Ingrid Michaelson (specifically The Hat)
  • Oversized sweaters
  • the color red
  • brownie batter
  • cookie dough
  • journals
  • spending the afternoon in a bookstore
  • nutella
  • watching films
  • jtorwhatever. and kisses.
I'm sorry this post was such a cop out. I should have more time tomorrow to actually write and hopefully I will remember my idea. I might do a things I dislike post if I need to write something and I haven't yet. Girls and Boys by Ingrid Michaelson is wonderful. 

That's all for now.

Happy Easter?

I cannot believe how much time has flown by since I have last written. I've recently been on a really big movie watching spree and this will continue tomorrow since we have 3 more movies to watch. I am just really happy right now. I am just so very happy. I love my true friends, books, film, and my boyfriend. JT is just simply wonderful. I love falling asleep with him on the phone and just talking or hanging out with him it's really wonderful. I just asdcfghjmkjgfdlgh. <3

I also have recently cut my hair really short and I really love it! I want to get back in to taking more pictures so hopefully I can post them on here. I've admired previous blog posts that have done that and I think I'm ready to try my own posts like that. My computer is broken which can be a reason for the lack of posts but hopefully that will be resolved soon!

Snow, snow and more snow.

We were just recently hit with a huge blizzard, and not like the ones from Dairy Queen. It was Nemo, or as my state likes to name our blizzards Charlie/Charlotte. The snow is taller than me and the icicles are melting causing my house to leak. Woohoo. I typically love the snow and what not but right now, not so much. My laptop is broken and I have to share my mother's which is not a fun thing to do. I don't understand why we have to shovel when we're in a state of emergency and are not allowed to drive on the roads...

Yet with all the snow and whatnot, we have gotten some days off, basically we have the longest February break ever after loosing it from the Hurricane earlier last year. I have recently become tech-savvy despite having my laptop break (it wasn't charging but no worries- it's being fixed!) It is very late right now and I hate how short this is but I will write more soon!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello all my blogger readers!

I am sorry I haven't written anything in such a long time, I have been sick and with the holidays it's been busy and crazy and excuses excuses. It is 2013! This year is going to be a great year for me, I'm going to make it happen. One of the thing I really want to do this year is blog more, I think having a blog is a great thing so this year I will be trying to write a meaningful post once a week. I want to write longer pieces and things that are more thought-out. I also want to use my youtube channel more and upload more videos because  think that will be fun. I have so many different ideas planned I just don't know where to start.

I really want to do BEDA this year and am already stock piling ideas for that and I want to talk about music and random shit like that. I am currently listening to Rachel Whitehurst's playlist and it's SO GREAT. Go click that link seriously. But I want to do so much in 2013 so I think I'll start by cleaning my room.

Have a great day. (:
