On February 19th, I adopted Tucker (a five month old Tabby) from Fiesty Acres at a Petco about half an hour from where I live. I had been looking for a companion for Tigerlilly for a while and when I saw Tucker, I knew I had to bring him home. He spent his first week here hiding and fighting with Tigerlilly but he has quickly settled in. He's a ( Read more... )

Today I went to my first official concert (yes, I'm old but it was still the first) and it was absolutely amazing. I've always loved Styx, they were a band I discovered in middle school while going through my parents extensive CD collection. Their song lyrics and overall sound appealed to me in a way I hadn't really experienced before that. I ( Read more... )

I love Caribbean music. It's almost peaceful to move to the rhythms ("riddims") of it. When I was first introduced to the genre, I wasn't sure how I felt about it...now I'm in love. Some of the songs pull me in because of the emotion, but still that light hearted tone remains. That's what I love about it. Even in the pain there's hope, meaning, ( Read more... )

It's weird how the people you think you can trust throw you away on a whim. But the people you never expected to stick around are the ones who stay. People aren't who they appear to be. The outside is simply a cover over what's inside, the pain we hold and the hope that keeps burning. Maybe that's what the human spirit is composed of, fire and ( Read more... )

I think a reread of Pride and Prejudice is in order. I need to reacquaint myself with engaging characters and rich literary prose. It also seems that every year since I first read the book, I get to missing my cynical Lizzie and brooding yet awkward Darcy. And the beautiful, analytical, confusing relationship between the two. Not to mention Lizzie' ( Read more... )

[+] Thanks to everyone who commented to my last post, I was having a difficult time that day and my head was spinning around and around so it was nice to see all the concern and support. He's doing a lot better, his finger isn't bleeding anymore and he's been keeping out of trouble [mostly because of the endless rain]. There really was never ( Read more... )

I was tagged by breakingsilence

1. List 5 4 favorite musical artist
2. List your 5 4 favorite songs from each artist
3. Tag 5 people to do the same.
Not tagging anyone. Also I cut my list because a) I uploaded all the songs and b) I don't listen to a lot of the same artists so it was hard for me to scrounge up 5 on 5.

Stole this random iTunes meme from Ava.

Put your music/ipod on shuffle answer the questions
BUT. put the first line of the song, not the title:

I really, really hope I get a Beatles c.d. for Christmas, I think I'll go nuts if I don't. I'm already halfway there. :>) I guess I'll buy my own c.d. if I don't get one. No big deal. (I just need more money first.) I'm on a Beatles kick which is really funny because I usually don't even listen to the Beatles. But like I said that's what happens ( Read more... )

Today has been a very long and fun day. My dad woke me up at 5:45 this morning. Grrrrrrrrrrr. The sun wasn't even up. He woke me up because mom, Jo', sis, and I were going to go Christmas shopping in Clarksville. Mom wanted to get there early so we had more time to shop. (Jo' had to be back before three because of her job at KFC. She had to work ( Read more... )
