Music:  Some metal that my brother is playing in the background.

Mood: Lazy.

Happy Fourth o Jul -whoops! That was yesterday.

50/90 started yesterday too. Which I refuse to let myself do… No matter how much I think it will be good for me. (I’ve already written most of 1 song. :P )

I’ve spent most of the past week watching season 4 of Angel on the new flat screen 40 inch TV in my house. It’s nice. I like it, the TV I mean.

I’ve never seen season 4 of Angel before and I absolutely love it! Some of the scenes with Cordy and Connor though can make you want to kind of vomit. But besides that it’s awesome. I love that Lorne is in the show more now. I really like Lorne but I guess who doesn’t?

Don’t you hate how things never go as you want them? Sometimes I feel as if I have to have something to do ever minute or I am wasting my time. Even if I am procrastinating at what I have to do at least I have that thing to do. I really hate days where by the end the only thing I accomplished was having it end.

I entered a summer reading program at my local library – I figure with how much I normally read I might as well win things while I do it. And the really annoying thing was, I was going to try and cut back on my reading this summer so I could focus on getting a job and other such things.

Which reminds me tomorrow I have to go and apply to some more places.

Now back to my song I am writing and then maybe a movie…

Life And Death

Music: Nothing.

Mood: Sad.

Eating: Swedish Fish.

On Tuesday my granddad died. And I am a bit shaken up. I knew it was coming but I didn’t expect it to happen so soon. He had cancer.

There is a little tree in front of my house right near the front door and a robin decided to build it’s nest there.

On Tuesday these little baby robins were born.

Life and Death.

The funeral is on Saturday. Last Saturday I went to a wedding, this Saturday it’s a funeral. That’s just weird.

Mr.Rabbit

Music: Company Of Thieves – Ordinary Riches.

Mood: Jumpy.

I haven’t posted since earlier this month, I keep forgetting!

I’ve been busy putting in job applications and applying everywhere and anywhere. No calls yet but I have hope. It’s a ridiculous hope but I have it anyway. I put in about 10 applications at a mall today. So maybe when their hiring back to school staff.

My music class is over for the summer, I wanted to go in the summer but unfortunately I can’t. :P If I can’t get a job this summer, it sure will be boring.

Hopefully I can go swimming sometime this week. I’d like that a lot.

Tomorrow I’m off to a really good friends wedding. You know who you are. :D It’s an outdoor wedding and it’s supposed to rain tomorrow. God I hope it doesn’t, that would totally suck.

I’m emptying my camera’s sticks so I can take pictures at it tomorrow.

Here is Mister Rabbit he eats grass: Mr. Rabbit

And here is a picture I took of a tree in my backyard:

Looking up a tree.

50/90 starts next month on July 4th. I don’t think I am doing it. I have the time but no energy, if I get a job I won’t have the time either so I don’t think I am doing it. But I feel like I really should because I haven’t written any good songs in so long, I can’t even seem to finish a song. It’s driving me crazy, so maybe I should do 50/90 in hopes that it will make me finish at least one song.

Anyway I’m off to finish emptying the camera sticks and to pack for the weekend and eat something for dinner.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Music: Silversun Pickups – Waste It On.

Mood: Hurried.

I’m your friendly reminder that the year is half over already! Have you accomplished any of you goals? Or have you miserably failed so far? I like to make people face the fact that time is moving. No backing out from that fact. Your birthday is coming and you don’t want to be that old? I say get over it and deal with it. There is no going back. So why complain? Celebrate every chance you get. This life is only so long. As you very well know when your birthday is approaching again.

I think one of the main facts people don’t like there birthdays – probably the main reason – is because they are facing their own mortality. I say face it and get over it already. I have no patience for people who whine about getting older or people who haven’t accomplished all that they wanted to because they were to lazy to.

Anyway so yeah face the fact that the year is half over.

I think I have done most of what I set out to do so far this year. Ask me in a few months and the answer might be different but for now I’m fine – actually happy that the year is half over.

The Phillie’s won at the baseball game I went to last week. I have seen them four times and they have only won once. I have some awesome pictures I took at the game which I shall post soon.

Today I made chocolate mousse with whipped cream and strawberries on top. It was good.

Lovely food

Lovely food

Chocolate Mousse! It tasted awesome.

Chocolate Mousse! It tasted awesome.

I watched the Belmont Stakes today. I love watching the Triple Crown Races. I watch them all. Someday I will actually go see them for real. I will wear a really big hat to.

I went to the beach last weekend. It was fun, wondered around on the board walk for a while then when I was attempting to eat a giant piece of flat pizza, that you could practically fly like a kite, a dammed seagull hit me in the head going after my food! Needless to say that made me not want my pizza anymore. I think it got a piece of pepperoni.

I’m trying to get a summer job this year, so wish me luck. I think I’m gonna need it. What with this stupid recession and stuff. There is nothing I can do about it though which I hate. I really hate when things affect you in a bad way and you can’t do anything to change or fix them. It’s out of your hands. I hate that.

I have been taking lots of pictures lately. I find it fun.

Today I painted a picture and wrote some lyrics at the same time, I wrote the lyrics based on the picture I was painting. I really need to paint more then I am. I find it so fun, especially when it turns out well. Which it has been lately.

I haven’t finished writing a song in so long. I really need to.

I got shoes yesterday for the wedding I’m going to in two weeks. I got my dress last week. I had it ordered online so I didn’t know if it would fit – but it fit perfectly! It’s pink but not an ugly pink in fact it’s this dress right here: Pink dress. The only annoying thing about it is the fact that it has glitter on it, which comes off. On you. Everywhere. Gah I hate that. But besides that fact it’s a lovely dress.

I didn’t write 3 posts last month as I was trying to do every month. I really wanted to too. But whatever I guess.

I got a new header picture! What do you think? I really like it. I took the picture today. The last one was really good but I said I would change it so I did. I think it needed to change. I took a lot of pictures today I keep taking pictures and thinking I’ll post this on my blog but I never get around to it. One of these days I should.

Anyway as it’s late, and I’m trying to get on a better time schedule, I think I shall call it a night.

Music: MGMT – Kids.

Mood: Mildly happy.

I have been looking forward to this weekend for so long because, my birthday is this weekend! I am so excited. To start off my birthday weekend I just went and saw Up and got ice cream with my three brothers.

It was awesome. I saw it in 3D. It was the first movie I’ve seen in 3D. And it is totally worth the extra money to see it in 3D. And if you’re scared the glasses will look silly, they really don’t they’re just plain black and they fit over glasses nicely as long as the glasses aren’t that big. :P They had boxes set up so you could recycle your glasses but I kept mine.

The short before the movie was so cute. It was about little clouds and storks. It was called Partly Cloudy.

I love going and getting ice cream. I always get vanilla with hot fudge.

Anyway I really enjoyed the movie. If you have a chance you should definitely go see it.

So tomorrow is my actual birthday which I am spending with my sister. I have a bachelorette party to go to and then on Sunday I’m going to the beach! :)

Anyway have an awesome weekend and go see Up!

May Is Here

Music: Plushgun – Just Impolite. And I just started listening to Help I’m Alive by Metric.

Mood: Optimistic.

May is here… And almost gone. Posting on here is slipping away from me. I’m trying to post at least 3 times every month and it’s been really hard.

I’m hopelessly optimistic. I just found that out about myself the other day. I was surprised, I always thought I was a pessimist but apparently I am an optimist. Like whenever something goes wrong I can almost always find a reason why life doesn’t totally suck and even when things look bad I still can find some way to carry on in an okay mood. Annoying huh?

I make cupcakes… Really I do I make lots of them. I just made 60 of them for a bridal shower weekend before last. I made these cupcakes yesterday:

I really like the Silversun Pickups new CD even though I haven’t given it a proper listen yet. And I’m really digging The Plushgun, an awesome indie artist. I have their new CD but haven’t heard it yet. I’m waiting to listen to it when I can give it the proper attention it deserves and I haven’t put it on my iPod yet.

So I watched the season final of Bones and decided that I’m not going to watch the next season. I just don’t think it is good anymore. I hated last season’s final, and I stuck around this whole season thinking: “let it get better, let it get better”. And it didn’t, so I’m done watching it. Even though I still feel like maybe if the writers got off their bums and actually tried it may be a good TV show again. But of course that’s the optimistic side of me. :P

Anyway I already watch too much TV I decided that it’s time to cut back and live my life and not watch fictional ones anymore. Epic decision right?

LOST is over too. It was epic. One more season to go and it’s totally over. How I Met Your Mother season 4 ended too. I really like how they ended it. I’m excited about the next season. I think they are getting ready to end the whole show. I predict that it will only get 2 more seasons then Ted will meet their mother. I haven’t seen Gossip Girl’s season final yet but it better be good. I don’t like the idea of them doing an 80’s spin off. I don’t think the shows demographic would be interested in an 80’s spin off. I know I’m not and I am the demographic.

The summer is almost here! I’m excited about that. I can’t wait to get a summer job. :) This summer is going to be interesting. That is the only way to describe it. It’s going to be filled with a lot of bad and I mean I’m looking at a lot of bad but hopefully the good will balance the bad somewhat. I don’t expect it to balance it out but I expect it to balance it out enough that it won’t all suck. ‘Cause that would just suck.

Music class is going well. I haven’t been able to finish writing a song in a long while though. I am getting ready to put together my first demo Ep. So I have to get working on that.

May Is Almost Here!

Music: Meg and Dia’s new CD: Here, Here And Here!

Mood: Restless and Hot and Crabby.

It’s hot as hell… Just turned the AC on… Isn’t so hot in the house anymore… I feel like going swimming but the lake won’t open until the end of May…

Anyway, so to catch you up on my last post, I did jump over the edge of the cliff, the theoretical cliff that is. I feel like I’m at the point in all the action movies where I grabbed a tree root that was hanging off the side of the cliff so I know my fall isn’t over but briefly just briefly I can imagine that maybe the in the end it won’t turn out to bad. So basically I’m still falling but not as fast. Which in the end means that I started what I had to do but it’s no over.

I like being all criptic…

I went and saw Kristen Chenoweth talk about her new book and different stuff on the Saturday before last… She’s short! And she’s awesome! She has a lovely singing voice, she even sang at one point, with nothing backing her!

I got my Meg and Dia CD on Tuesday! It’s awesome! I think it’s really different then the last CD they put out. I didn’t expect it to be like the last one but it’s just so different. I think it’s one of those CD’s that the more you listen to it the more you like it. I’ve heard it like five or six times already…

May is almost here! I like May. :) My birthday is in May!

I’m soooooooooooooo looking forward to the summer! Woo! This summer is going to be interesting… and fun! I hope.

I’ve been painting and writing music a lot this week. I can’t seem to finish any of the songs I start… I am planning on trying to do that this week. I painted a picture of a rose… I think it come out pretty good.

The week is starting over again… This week promises to be boring… Blah! But I have songs to finish, so it’s all good.

Crossroads…

Music: The ringing in my ears.

Mood: A bit scared, a bit nervous, a bit excited, a bit sick all wrapped in to one big ball of mess. And kind of reflective too.

I am contemplating life. You know those points in life where you can either go forward or backwards? I’m at one of those crossroads and I am trying to go forward but am a wee bit scared too. Am afraid I won’t make it and in the end will end up going backwards… I guess I just have to take the leap. I think that’s the hardest part though, right before you jump and are looking over the edge of the cliff…

I feel like my whole life has been leading up to this moment and I better not screw it up…

I’m gonna try not too.

~ Sparks Out ~

Music: I’m watching Bones.

Mood: Good.

I was going to make another post before March was over but got too busy. April is here! And so is spring! To me spring signifies hope. I don’t know why, I think I just love the weather. And after being cooped up in the house all winter it makes me just want to run! And also my birthday is in May so spring means I’ll soon be turning a year older! And I love that.

So in March I dyed my hair red! With Kool-aid! I love it! I think red hair really suits me. It’s washing out pretty fast though. I wish I could have it in longer. I think it was either in my second or third post I made on this blog that I said I wanted to dye my hair so I finally have. I’m not one to stop trying. :)

Also in the end of March I played at my second recital. It went really well. I think I played good. I may upload a video of it on Youtube and put up a link but I’ll probably never get around to it.

I’ve been busy lately. What with volunteering and schoolwork and painting and piano and reading and slacking off. Slacking off is a time consuming process. It’s quite a skill too. I like to say I’m the Queen Of Procrastination.

April is hopefully going to be a good and productive month for me. I have a lot of challenges coming up in the next week. But I think I can manage.

On another note, I love baking! I just made a cheesecake brownie thingie and god was it gooood. I like making cupcakes. I like making sweet desserts, I think I just like making good food and feeding people. I think I’m beginning to find that I’m actually a good cook.

I really am starting to dig painting again. I want to get good at it. I used to paint as a young child – I loved to get messy! It was so fun. Besides nobody else in my family paints so it was something I had all to myself. I think as a young child I needed that. Now I turn to music as my thing that is only mine. I like having that, no one else can touch it, change it, or do it like I do.

I have another Ten List I need to write and there should be many more Pictures From My Window Posts coming up soon. I’ve taken lots of pictures. I think I’m starting to enjoy taking pictures a lot as well. I like taking pictures of myself at my piano. Trying out different model stares and poses. It’s fun. I also like taking pictures of the moon. I took some really awesome ones a few days ago. And maybe I will get around to writing a review for the Watchmen and a review for Twilight(bleck Twilight!).

Anyway it’s late and I’ve been trying to get in bed earlier and get up earlier lately so I must be off. And Bones is almost over.

I think I shall leave you with My Chemical Romance lyrics. I’ve been following them on Twitter. I like Twitter. Oh yeah and a happy 32nd Birthday to the lead singer Gerard Way! He turned 32 yesterday. He’s getting old (jking). This is the chorus from Famous Last Words I think one of their most positive songs, it sends a strong message:

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I’ll be forgiven
Nothing you could say can stop me going home
