Because...

... some people don't see me all the time.
... some people wish I were quieter.
... I want to practice my writing skills.
... there are things that are too complicated for mere sentences, and why should we limit ourselves?
... my world is bigger than me.
... the bright side of things are better seen from a different point of view.
... the things in my life are stupendous enough to be recorded somewhere.
... why not?

My mind is strange...

Years ago I discovered, read and waited impatiently for the final book in this series:

Then I went and saw the movie, which was of course not as good as the book but is still worth watching.

Fast forward to last year when my sister kept hounding me to read this book:
image
Even though I really dislike the author, I read it and enjoyed it immensely. 
Consequently I watched the movie
image
and in the middle I was like, “Hmm, I recognize her” but was too lazy to find out what I’d seen her in.
image
Fast forward again to today when I re-watched The City of Ember and I went “Ohhhhhhhh”

Love

I have always wondered about love. It is such a strange emotion, and such an odd choice to make. I often question how love works... Why some people love others... Love is a hard thing to understand. But I've learned recently that you can't judge someone based on who they love. And you can't make that choice for them. I do know people who *I* think are in the wrong relationships... But I also see how happy these people are. Sometimes, opposites do attract. Sometimes the things you think should happen don't, and the things you don't expect turn out to be the best thing for everyone. God works funny like that. I'm glad He knows better than me.

St. Patrick's day

On this day in my house you hafta wear green or you'll get pinched.
In my house we celebrate our heritage on this glorious day.
In my house we always have Corned Beef and Cabbage on this day.
I love my house on this day.

teh cohfehs

I love Coffee. All kinds. But oddly enough I am really particular about it. I'll pretty much drink any coffee that is set in front of me. But I refuse to spend money on coffee that I won't enjoy. Which means buying the more expensive brand of grounds, and being very specific about what I get at Starbucks. I have yet to find a Starbucks coffee drink that I actually find to be disgusting... But I have found some that don't pass the standard of "am I willing to spend five dollars on something I won't really enjoy". I think there are four. My favorite drink is a caramel frappuccino with an extra shot. Or the caramel macchiato. Anyways, just saying that I hate spending money on something I'm not going to enjoy to the nth degree. :)

Just a normal Thursday

So the girls dorm decided to have a fall party. Open rooms, lots of candy and some great snacks (also some really fun costumes)! But this is what happens when my Best Friend and I decide last minute to dress up. I have to say I am rather proud of how these turned out.






She was the Cheshire Cat and I was a Gypsy. Fun times with great people.
(Sorry 'bout the blurry pics... I suck at selfies.)
