I HATE SWEATING

Yes. I'm a human. Yes. I sweat. BUT NEVER THIS MUCH BEFORE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

Oh my goodness! It was insane!!! Practice tonight I was like this walking pool...I was DRENCHED.  It was abosolutely RIDONKULOUS.

On a better note (hmmm...I'm feeling a concert D?), practice was good tonight. :D Well...people crashed into each other a couple times and not everyone counted all the time and some sixteen block was a mess, BUTTTTTTTT...there was a lot of ENERGY. At least I felt energetic about it...a lot more than at band camp.  And so yeah...basically I'm just really happy that the energy was there and that we're cleaning stuff and it's staying clean...for the most part. :P

Something I noticed was that we seem to be holding ourself to a higher standard earlier in the season, which is probably why I was getting so stressed and discouraged during band camp.  But I think it's a good thing we have a high standard...hopefully that means we'll go far. :]

Bruno + Mars = Me Smiling

Yeah yeah yeah...I'm blogging again and I'm not done all my work...but, I am officially done for TONIGHT, so I figured I'd allow myself to post. :D

At the end of our dinners, we've started this little routine where we choose a chore to do after we're all excused.  Tonight I chose unloading the dishwasher.  It only takes like...three minutes to do, but I get so bored with just emptying it like a normal person, so I usually turn on the radio and dance and sing while putting stuff away.

At first B101 was playing Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" and that was fun, but it quickly changed to one of the older songs...and I didn't like it.  And being the radio/TV flipper that I am, I changed the station to Q102.  Some odd rap song ended but then this new song started...and I was like OH MYLANTA I LOVE THIS.

I didn't plan on blogging about it but I just looked it up on youtube and was listening again and was like...hey, sure why not?

So here is the new song that I have on repeat at the moment...it's so adorable!

"Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars
Oh, her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shining

Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Yeah, I know, I know, when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so, sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look ok, I say
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Because you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are
Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she let me
Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Oh, you know, you know, you know, I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
So, don't even bother asking if you look ok
You know I'll say
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Because you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are
The way you are, the way you are
Girl you're amazing, just the way you are
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Because you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are. Yeah

Dear Self

So yeah I know I said I wouldn't post but I completely finished two of my Euro essays and I need a little rant time...

Dear Self,
I am about to rant about you, and you better deal with it. You know sometimes you can just be really really dumb? Honestly...not EVERYTHING is about you. You always take everything so personally and try to connect it all back to you, when in reality it probably doesn't involve you at all. You see two people talking in a corner? You think about how it could be related to you and what they might be saying about you. You hear someone randomly laugh when you're doing something? You wonder if they're laughing at you or if you did something wrong. Jeez just snap out of it! I hate it! You always try and read into what other people say, try to find a deeper meaning in it that is somehow connected to you...well we all know you are NO WAY intuitive so why even try?? You just end up making a big old mess of things in your head, a mess YOU create. A mess that doesn't even have to be there! So you know what Self? Just stop. Life isn't all about you.

Farewell to Blog...for a few days

IT'S TIME FOR ME TO START TRUCKIN ON MY HOMEWORK.

Working all day pretty much until the beginning of school to get every assignment done...huzzah. 

I'm sorry blog...this means a temporary break for us...BUT ONLY A BREAK! I will be back! I promise! I will blog as soon as all my work is done, there will be a big celebratory post!

But until then...farewell...

I miss him...

I thought I was supposed to be done crying...

Tonight my mom realized it's been a year since my dad kissed her...that made me really sad...

Definition of Love

What is love? Simple enough question, right? WRONG. The definition seems to change with the times and the standards...like I'm sure the definition of love 100 years ago was very different than what it is now. And what IS the definition now?

1. dictionary.reference.com says love is: –noun
• a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person
2. merriam-webster.com says love is: noun
• attraction based on sexual desire
3. thefreedictionary.com says love is: n.
• A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.
4. wordnetweb.princeton.edu says love is: (n)
• a strong positive emotion of regard and affection

Interesting, isn't it? Four different definitions...and I mean some of them are similiar, but the fact that there are MANY different definitions on each site...and you know what else is interesting? On all the sites, love was defined as a NOUN...not a verb...

"Hey, tell me haven't you heard?

Love is a serious word.

Hey, I think it's time you learned.

I don't care what you say. I don't care what you heard.

The word love is a verb."

I've been thinking a lot about what my definition of love is...
