Alright so, I've been really distracted lately. Obviously I haven't posted for a while on this blog. I've been focusing on my other blog a lot (even though I've gotten distracted from that too).
Between school and work and my boyfriend and being maid of honor at a wedding now, there's so much going on and I just don't have the time for it all.
I swear there could be 48 hours in a day, 14 days in a week, 60 days in a month, and over 600 days in a year, and I still wouldn't have the time to do the things I need to do.
I hardly get any sleep anymore. I am never able to get my homework done on time. I haven't been able to blog. I haven't read a full book in 2 weeks. I haven't been able to get my work done. I haven't even had time to go order my boyfriend's graduation present. I'm seriously going nuts.
I just needed to rant. I miss having time. Now that summer is over my time is disappearing. I can't wait for December and January to roll around so that I won't have class and time to do stuff again. Finally.
Well. That's pretty much all for now.
Until Next Time

My OTHER blog!
So I've been pretty wrapped up in my other blog, Dedicated Readers Only to even think about this one. I originally planned on giving up that one, as I hadn't posted on it in like a year. But, my old friend started another one up about books and I though "why not get mine started up again?" I must say I've missed immersing myself into a good book. It's been awhile since I really got wrapped up in a book and I did so with the Iron Fey series (you can see my review of the first book, a part of a series of reviews I'm doing on all the books and the series as a whole). So I'm throwing myself at that one right now trying to make it all spiffy and really get across to my followers my love for reading. With my boyfriend being in the academy it gives me a lot of time to myself. Now, while I'd love to spend that time with my friends, most of them are either away at school, working, or doing their own thing.
So, I spend my free time reading. Or spending time with my family. But mostly reading. So I'm throwing myself back into this favored pastime of mine and getting my blog back up and running and hopefully gain some more followers. We shall see!
Until next time!

Can We Go Back?
So I've been home for over a week. And all I want is to be back at the beach! I miss it so much. It was a really good time. I never ended up getting my henna tattoo but I did get my belly button pierced! And it hurt. Terribly. But it looks cute so I guess that's really all that matters.
So besides the fact that I want to go back to the beach, I saw one of my best friends this week. And it just seems like so many things have changed. I hardly talk to any of my old friends from school anymore. And while I've started meeting some new people (mostly my boyfriends friends and their girlfriends/fiances/wives) I miss my old friends. We all grew apart after high school ended. My BEST friend and I from high school have talked maybe twice in the past year. And I've realized lately how much I've missed her. And since I starting writing the draft of this post we've started talking again, and it's made me really happy. I'm so glad that we've started talking. We think alike so much haha!
I've been reading again so much lately. I'm thinking of starting up my book blog again. I haven't posted in a good while, but I've read SO many good books lately and I do have some followers on that one. I'd like to get it up and running again. My friend I was talking about just started up a new book blog! http://chroniclesofabibliophile.blogspot.com/ You should check it out! Even though she is my only follower right now, so telling you to follow her I'm really only telling her to follow herself! Haha!
Well, it's late, I'm tired, and I'm currently reading The Iron Daughter (you should read the Iron Fae series. It's soooooooo good) so I'm going to bed!
Adios

The Beach!
So we've been at the beach for 24 hours. 8 of those we slept, about 8 we spent in the pool, about 2 we spent on the beach, and 3 just being in the room, 2 in the arcade (I got 1200 tickets!) And about 1 on the boardwalk. We're having a great time! My boyfriends buds are great to hang out with and the weather today is gorgeous. It rained really bad yesterday but it was nice otherwise.
So tonight I'm going to get a henna tattoo and my belly button pierced! I'm kind of scared :/ I've only ever gotten my ears pierced with the gun so getting something pierced with a needle scares the hell out of me. Especially since my boyfriends buds are coming to watch! I'm gonna cry like a little baby I can see it coming.
We're also going to play putt-putt and possibly go to ripleys too :) which is so much fun! Must do things when at the beach. Getting an airbrush shirt with Matt and my name on it! And a Ravens one for my little brother.
Its also senior month here. Its crazy. There are so many teenagers around here. And Slutty ones at that. I don't understand why kids dress the way they do. Do they not realize that what they're wearing is unattractive? All you're doing is making yourself look like a whore! Why would you want that? I never dressed like these kids these days do. it truly disgusts me, walking around with their stomachs and asses and boobs and everything else hanging out? Have you ever heard of less is more? Meaning show less of your skin not more!
Well I don't want to go on and on about this so I'll be going. Almost dinner time anyway!
Adios loves.

Packing and Criss Angel!
I don't know about you guys, but I hate packing. I myself can't just toss stuff in a bag. I have to go through everything and make sure I pick out specifically what I put in the bag. I make sure I have good outfits and have multiple choices so I can pick out exactly what I want to wear.
So I'm going to the beach for 2 days. And I have like, 4 bathing suits, and like, 5 shirts, 5 pairs of pants, and a bunch of other stuff. I just go crazy with packing.
On another note I'm watching Criss Angel's Mindfreak on Netflix. This guy, is nuts. I have no idea how he does this shit. it's so weird! Also I would love to go in one of those rooms with the giant fan that lets you levetate. I think that would be so beyond awesome! But getting back to Criss. How does this guy do this shit? I mean, yes the obvious answer is magic. But do you really believe in the presence of magic? It's something that I truly do not understand. And I think that that's what it is.
People often fear what they do not understand. Whether it's magic, or death, or even math! People constantly question what they don't understand, and because of this most people do not believe in magic. There is exponential evidence that it exists. He levetates. And makes other people levetate. How do you explain that but by magic? How do you explain the ability to be lighter than air? How do you explain being able to lift a complete stranger off the gound?
Sure you can say that the person was in on it. That they met before it was taped and he had it all set up. He knew what card was hers, he would pretend to be hypnotized and act how he did. It's these kind of things that make it easier for people to dismiss the belief of magic. To make them feel better that they're not believing in the impossible.
But why? Why would you not want to believe in the impossible? Going through your entire life not believing in something just because it can't be explained? Why does everything have to be explained? Some things you just have to believe in.
Criss Angel explains his ability to be able to do the things he does (for instance hanging by 4 flesh hooks in his back from a helicopter) on his father. The doctor gave his father 3 weeks to live, and he made it 3 years. As he says, when you put your mind to it, you can do anything. When he gets his mind wrapped around something, he does it. But unfortunately, his family often suffers from the heartache of having to watch him do these things to himself. And in that way, I believe they have to be stronger than Criss.
I'm going to wrap up this blog because, I still have to finish packing! But I want to finish with a quote from a bystander watching one of Criss' illusions: "He scares me!"
And that's the whole point isn't it?
Adios.

Mani-Pedi!
So as I write this I am relaxing, sitting in a chair with my feet soaking in hot water while a nice lady does my toes. It is the one luxury I allow myself every now and then. Its a bit pricey but its so worth it.
Anyway as I'm sitting here the news is on and I saw an article thatt completely disgusted me. A group of students on a bus basically terrorized their 70-some year old bus monitor, calling her fat, poking her, then making fun of her gradndson who had committed suidice! I couldn't believe it! A group of children tormenting an adult like that? One of the children videotaped it for the world to see. It sickens me that this could take place. I was bullied myself through middle school so I know what it feels like to be in that position. But for children to do that to a 70-some year old woman? These kids have no respect for adults. And the parents, crying that their child could have done this. Like its not their fault? Raising a child right goes a long way.
Now on a brighter side of things, a 9th grader from MD discovered a way to test for cancer, 160% faster, 400% more sensitive than the ways now, and it only costs $.03. Uhm, can you say holy genious? I believe we have officially found the real Jimmy Neutron!
Alright guys, almost time to start my nails so I'm gonna head out. Adios loves.
The Trials and Tribulations of Starting a Blog
I don't know how many of you blog yourself, but it is not a simple task trying to design your blog to make it look good. It can take anywhere from minutes (if you're lazy and not creative) to hours or even days (if you aren't lazy and love to make things looks SPECTACULAR). Now, unfortunately, I am not into coding and such, so I usually go to the awesome website of The Cutest Blog on the Block. They have the cutest backgrounds! And not just for blogger but for Twitter and even ancient ol' Myspace! They also have custom Blogspot templates which I have yet to figure out how to work yet.
So anyway. It really does take a lot of effort to make a blog look good.
Then you have to worry about figuring out what you're going to write about! What do people want to hear about? How do you appeal to a bigger audience? How do you make the highest number of people happy? I follow a few blogs myself, for instance Rachel Vincent's blog. Why do I follow her? Because she's a well-known author! I'm not a well-known author! Sure I like to write short stories and such now and then but nobody knows anything of my work. I also follow Hyperbole and a Half. Her drawings and stories are hilarious. I guess I have some interesting stories.
I mean, I'm adopting a deaf cat soon. Maybe people will want to hear what it's like to live a life with a deaf cat. I'll re-title the blog The Life of a Deaf Cat (not to be confused with the Life of a Dead Cat). Snowball (that's what I plan on naming my deaf cat) can be the center of the blog. It could be interesting. But really, how long can you hold the attention of an audience blogging about a cat all the time. I mean, the cat can't do that many interesting things in its life. Maybe I'll adopt a dog as well. Oh wait, I can't have a dog in my new apartment. Sigh. Maybe one day I'll figure out what to write about instead of just random rants like this one.
I'd like my blog to have a theme. Maybe I'll make it a daily rant blog. Something almost everyone can relate to. I fully believe that everyone should have a place where they can have at least one daily rant about something. It's good for the soul and mind to get things off your chest. Whether it's to complain about how long you sat at that one red light, or how hot it is outside. Anything really. Having a blog or a diary, or even your cat to listen to your complaints is extremely helpful.
Well. For now I guess that will be the subject of my blog. Daily rants about nothing really. Hopefully I'll find something better to blog about.
Well.
Until tomorrow.
Adios.
