Notice the beautiful smile that someone offers you or the beautiful home that someone lives in. Make mental or written notes about the things you enjoy in your world, and then mix those components together in your own mind, creating ( Read more... )

Friday had to be the scariest day of my life. Oh man. My school got a bomb and gun threat, which I've never experienced before because I'm just a wee little freshman. Seeing as there was just a huge school shooting a few days ago, I was really really really freaked out. I wouldn't have come to school, but I didn't hear about it until after I got on ( Read more... )

Wow, it's been a long time since I last posted. Life's just been pretty meh lately. But, I suppose I will anyway :)

Ever since I took a semester-long course where we skimmed over French, Spanish, and German in eighth grade, I've been interested in studying abroad in France. I've always planned on taking French in high school and after almost being ( Read more... )

Like I think I said before, I went to church with my sister today. And I was actually really surprised! Before, I could never find a church that I really felt comfortable in (like when I would go with friends and stuff). See, I was raised Catholic (both my parents are/were) but never liked it. Then my parents stopped going and I had no way to go to ( Read more... )

I seriously think I'm becoming addicted to quotes from books. Before joining literaryquotes, I never really paid attention to especially beautiful passages in books or funny quotes. Now, whenever I read, I feel like I'm concentrating a lot more on the writing. I even have a notebook for my favorite book quotes now. So yeah, I guess it's not a bad thing ( Read more... )

This one was stolen from waveburn! Perfect timing, because I went a bit pyschotic with the Twilight friending meme and now have tons of new friends.

I'm not gonna lie, I actually like driving a little bit. And I did plenty of it today. I went looking at houses with my dad and sister's family (for my sister) and right afterwards, we dropped by the library so I could finally get the sequel to The Golden Compass. Then my dad took me to Busch Wildlife to drive (there isn't much traffic in a huge ( Read more... )
