Days 13 & 14- Ehh.

Yeah, I didn't blog yesterday. I though about it. I even sat in a laundromat for an hour or two and considered taking that time to write something down. But it didn't. The topic was "Day 13-A letter to someone who has hurt you recently."

I just can't think of anyone that has hurt me recently. At least not emotionally. I can't even think of someone who has hurt me physically lately.

Life is good.

So, on to day 14.

"Day 14- A picture of you and your family"

Fortunately enough, we recently had family pictures done. My favorite:

I look pretty "balla," and that baby is gottdam cute!

Day 12- Again...

So, again, it looks like I got a little ahead of myself last weeks.

"Day 12-How you found out about blogger and why you have one"

I already discussed this about ten days ago, and explained the whole story..

So... (Please refer to blog "Day 2")

Day 11- Ooh.. I wasn't prepared for this...

I should have looked ahead before posting all these blogs.

"Day 11-Another picture of you and your friends"

On the last "friends/picture" post, I posted around 10 photos. I don't think I have anymore photos... Or anymore friends for that matter...

I'll go check... Wait here... This will only take a minute...

Oh here, I love this one.

Day 10- Music is my b/f. LOL!

Finally a topic I don't mind too much.

Hopefully "blogger" stops messing up my fonts. Has anyone else noticed? I've never once changed my font on blogspot, but for some reason my past few blogs have had two or three different fonts within the post. I don't get it.

"Day 10-Songs you listen to when you're bored, happy, sad, mad, hyped"

I listen to music daily. I'm also bored daily. I'm happy daily. I'm sad weekly, or so. I'm mad sometimes. And I'm hardly ever "hyped." Mostly because I don't understand "hype" (unless it involves Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince being released in a couple days).

So, when I'm bored, I listen to music. I don't listen to any particular songs... I just listen to music. That usually subsides the boredom a little.

When I'm happy, I listen like to listen to music in a major key, obliviously. This morning on the way to school I listened to Flight of the Concords, and I was pretty happy about it. I also like to listen to the Beatles, Band of Horses, Drew Danburry, Counting Crows, Steel Train, The Gay Blades, Modest Mouse, Portugal. the Man, and even some Pavement when I'm happy. This category is pretty loose because, for the most part, music can lift one's emotions. I think that might be part of the purpose of Music Therapy (Arianne).

When I'm sad I tend to listen to either really soft music, or relatively hard music. La Dispute is a constant, as well as Trophy Scars. Bradley Hathaway tends to fall into this category, and so do We Were Promised Jetpacks, As Cities Burn, and The Cranberries.

When I'm mad I usually don't listen to music. When I do, it's Maylene and the Sons of Disaster.

And, when I'm hyped (which I'm going to translate as, "when I go running"), I listen to a lot of hip hop. Black Eyed Peas, Justin Timberlake, The Cool Kids, POS, and also some Foxy Shazam.

Thats enough.

Day 9- Resisting the food

As some of you may know, I don't have much money at this point in my life. My student loan got lost in the mail, and I just started a job that won't pay me for another two weeks.

"Day 9-Something you're proud of in the past few days"

I'm proud that I've stayed on budget this week. Every week I feel the "temptation" of eating fast food at least once a week. This week, since I don't have any money, I haven't fallen to the pressures of the restaurant.

Well.... Actually... On Sunday I convinced Michael to buy a Hot-n-Ready Pizza for the two of us... On Wednesday I talked him into buying a banana cream pie... And yesterday we went to Burger King...

Never mind. I don't have anything to be proud of.

Day 8- GOOOal

Day 7- Some People Walk in the Rain, Others Just Get Wet

The last few days have been kind of rough. Maybe it's because I have no money. Maybe it's because I just started a new job. Maybe it's because I'm feeling a bit homesick. Maybe it's because the semester is coming to an end... But most likely it's because it's cold outside.

"Day 7-A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you"

The other day at work, a girl told me she LOVES the snow! I just sat there and looked at her with a blank face. She said, "Oh, do you not like the snow."

I replied, "Ehh, well, it definitely doesn't make me feel good."

She then asked, "Does snow really make people depressed around here? I'm from California, but I've heard that people around here get really depressed in the winter time. Is that true."

I looked at her and emotion-less-ly said, "... Yeah, it's true..."

...Then I quickly thought about what I said and about the situation I am in. New job. Potential friends. So, I hurried and made a joke. I don't remember what I said, but she laughed.

Something that has the biggest impact on me is the weather.

I don't even have it that bad. There isn't even snow on the ground yet.
