  • hey guys!

    long time no blog, right? hah.

    sooo basically i've been shopping for college stuff, taking history of civilization online so i don't have to do that first semester, reading my history of civ. book, listening to lectures, answering questions, taking tests.. it's soo time consuming. okay i lied, maybe i've been wasting some of that time on tumblr. D: dun dun dunnnnn. 

    hm, what else have i been up to?

    oh i cleaned my room yesterday. by cleaned i mean i went through like everything and got rid of a bunch of stuff. i still have piles of books sitting around. i need more shelf space.

    today was freaking amazing. i kinda woke up late.. my alarm kinda didn't go off [i hate it when the electric goes out and you reset your clock to am instead of pm, so then your alarm is wrong because the clock is wrong], i went to church, and then i went to one of my best friends house to watch the world cup! her cousins were there so there was a boat load of teenagers running around. haha i love them all to death, they're great. we had fun. and then she taught me how to play guitar.. sort of. i'm a lefty so i was playing guitar UPSIDE DOWN. i felt like jimi hendrix.. only he inverted his strings.

    um that's pretty much my life at the moment, not that anyone is particularly interested.

    oh! and i might be starting a job this week, which is great because i could use the extra cash.. then i can buy a guitar.. :P

  • i literally just got home from vacation two hours ago, so i really don't have much to write about. 

    my only exciting news: i went for a hike to see a waterfall with my dad and my best friend... it was supposed to be 3 miles round trip, but the trail we wanted was closed, so we had to take a longer trail to get there. SEVEN MILES round trip, mostly up hill. altogether it took about four and a half hours. it was totally worth it though, the falls were gorgeous. also, we saw a black bear. it was climbing a tree.

    oh, and i discovered this tea shop. it was pretty sweet. imagine jars upon jars full of tea lining shelves. and what's even better? the guy let us smell a bunch of different teas. unfortunately i didn't buy any :( but it all smelled delicious!

    how was everyone's week?

  • in honor of my strange itunes experience, i'm writing another post.

    I'm one of those people who prefers to own a cd rather than just buying the album on itunes, meaning i didn't have my own itunes account until today. I was given an itunes card for graduation. Obviously, i like music.. actually, it might be a slight obsession.... Anyway, i finally made my own account, bought some of what i wanted. Stupid itunes charges sales tax. One would assume that whoever bought the card would have payed sales tax on it would you not? Hence my confusion, but that's off subject. I wanted to buy two of the Kooks' albums, but i ended up getting Gaslight Anthem's album The '59 Sound and Chuck by Sum 41 and several miscellaneous songs by The Subways, Waylander [irish folk metal! yes, it exists!] and The Wakes. 

    Okay, now here's the strange part. I turned on Genius. One of the playlists it created is labeled emo. This made me curious, so i played it. So far it has played:

    1. Go by BoyslikeGirls [not emo]

    2. Six feet Under the Stars by All Time Low [maybe emo, it's stretching it]

    3. Pleads and Postcards by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus [i wasn't aware that RJA was even remotely emo]

    4. Dark Blue by Jack's Mannequin [okay, i'll give them that, emo.]

    5. Pieces by Sum 41 [not particularly emo. it's called PUNK, people, PUNK!]

    6. Pressure by Paramore [um, no]

    7. Jersey by Mayday Parade [definitely not]

    8. Watch the Sky by Something Corporate [sort of? i guess.]

    9. Up Against a Wall by BoyslikeGirls [uhh.. no]

    10. Clouds by The Morning Light [because it says "because somedays it seems like the clouds won't stay away? sort of, but not really.]

    Now it's playing You Had Me at Hello by A Day to Remember.

    My conclusion: not a bad playlist, but i wouldn't consider it emo. at all.

    *edit* i switched to Brit-pop & Rock mix.. it's playing Jack Johnson. Jack Johnson is from Hawaii! it did play some legitimately British bands prior to that: The Subways and Damien Rice.. and The Killers are American.. and Empire of the Sun is Australian so i guess they count as British?
