I finally caved and got myself a tumblr account. I swore a while back that I wouldn't get one, but I did, and I'm enjoying it. I feel like I can post more often, because everyone else is doing it on tumblr...whereas blogspot is more just a big post here and there.
Plus a few of my Alabama friends have tumblr accounts, and this helps me stay in contact with them a little more deeply than facebook...So I mean it's cool. Just yeah there you have it. I have a tumblr, just in case you cared, and I've gotten 16 posts in in two days....I should chill.

I Love Me Some Cheese.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD2LRROpph0
Thank goodness for this song, now I know the days of the week...

Keeping up the cheesy. Although this music video has some good dancing as opposed to the one above. Did anyone watch the girl in pink on the one above? She's my new favorite.
And to continue cheesy, this music video is pretty classic. I can't help wondering if Azkaban looks something like this. Also on the entertaining front. The music swells, and she has the exact same expression...the whole time.

I do like the last song though. And the other two are strangely addictive, and yet I know they aren't real music...

Following a Dream
Yesterday a girl across the hall wanted me to work out some of the knots she had from our trip to California. Being back in an environment where people honestly appreciated my ability for giving massages made me acutely aware of the fact that if there's one thing I did in high school that I miss excessively, it's being the person who is always on hand to give massages. I mean I'm not gonna lie, I'm good at it, and I love it. So today I checked online for a massage therapy school in Utah. And now that I know that it's a possibility...I can't help but want to go. It just suddenly feels like a direction my life is supposed to go in right now...I don't want to leave USU, and yet, I want to go to this school.
Oh and on the same note, I read places their students end up working, and one of them is working on cruise ships...that's been a dream of mine for a long time...could my life really work out like this?

Curing a Terrible Case of Man PMS
I feel like this semester I've been a total jerk to everyone. I've studied myself a lot and come up with a million rationalizations for why I am the way that I am, and although I don't really like the way I am, I feel that it's justified for me to be this way anyways, because I've rationalized everything.
Finally something clicked in my head that made more sense than all of my rationalization. I have the ability to change what I am. I don't have to be this jerk that I feel like everyone thinks I am. I don't have to be so OCD about everything, I need to chill. Get over myself and just calm down.
Perhaps some sun, warmth, good friends, and beach time helped me mellow out and actually think clearly, but whatever it was, I'm glad. Hopefully as the people I've been a total jerk to this semester get back to Jones, I'll be able to keep this attitude in mind, and just chill.

My Life In A List
*Why am I so good at holding a grudge?
*California...next week. In a week I will be on the beach.
*Rebound? I dunno...maybe.
*Homework sucks.
*Dinner with my sister Thursday!
*Family went to HP World...it's cool. I'll go later.
*This blog sounds really negative.
*I actually had a good day.
*Donating plasma isn't too bad. Just don't try and run to catch the bus afterward...
*T-Swift jam party.
*The movie 2012 is dumb. Just a bunch of gratuitous destruction...I don't get it.
*I have some pretty awesome roommates...overall.
*On the other hand I have some really obnoxious people who think they're roommates...just for the record, this isn't your apartment.
*Our apartment went from being the worst to the best in a matter of five minutes when we got the second couch and the sound system. Yeah, you're jealous.
*Biology test Friday...yeah, we'll see how that goes.
*Social Systems quiz tomorrow. I'm gonna ace that thing.
*Dr. Horrible rehearsal tomorrow. We're working on music. Do I have to go, since I won't be in any of the songs...Moist doesn't sing. Also I was promised no rehearsal this week.. I feel like that is a lie now.
*Already missing Aggie basketball games. Won't be at another for at least two years...not okay.
*Girl at the plasma center was flirting with me. It's the facial hair.
*Actually, if I didn't laugh the first time, it's because it wasn't funny. Repeating and laughing at it, it's not funny. And by the way, your jokes are never funny, because they're pretty pointed. All of them. I get sarcasm, but yours is a little too biting, so please just stop trying, it's getting old.
*I'm a snob. I should work on that.
*My bucket list...I need to get into gear and do it.
*It's already March, where has my Freshman year gone, and how will I survive not living in Jones with all of the people I love here.
*This was rambling, just wanted to write and get some thoughts out. I might expand on some later...or not.

I Don't Know What to Call This
Do you know why I love Taylor Swift? It's all about the emotion behind the songs she writes. She knows what she's singing about, and she puts her all into the song, to get the point of the song across to people. She writes in such a way that you can just dive into her head and know what she's trying to say. It's amazing. I wish I could do something that awesome.
She might not have the perfect voice, or the most sophisticated music style, but really, I don't think her songs would be as good if she didn't perform them herself. She honestly understands what she's saying in her songs, which I guess you could say about a lot of other artists, but her lyrics mean more than most of the things in pop culture (partying/sex/alcohol).
I dunno, I just appreciate the fact that most of her songs are things that I've always wished I could say. Most of the songs on her Speak Now album I honestly can relate to, which I dunno if that's weird or not, but it's true. I mean at some point I've felt pretty much every single one of the emotions she puts across in music, much like my connections with David Archuleta's music.
