Music

We all have a niche for music of some kind or another somewhere within us.  The combination of music that each person loves will always be unique just to them.  It makes sense to me to think of it as their "music world".  I want to share (of what I have already come across) what music makes up my music world.

I love music.  Some songs, types, genres and artists I appreciate and others I don't favor as much.  I want to invite you into the world of music that moves me.  Some music I am drawn to because of it's melody, some because of the lyrics tied to it, and some because of the combination of the two. I want to start a category of posts to feature this music.  To be honest the idea sort of comes from someone else's blog.  She critiques a different piece of music every Monday but as I don't post consistently, mine's a little different.

My idea for this is that I highlight a specific piece of music for each post I do for this new category and just label them with Music. I'll still keep doing my random other postings I do but I'm going to start additionally having posts devoted to highlighting music that I really like and has moved me.

The artists or songs I highlight aren't going to be in order of favorite (since I don't have favorites and all of these are loosely my favorites).  I also regretfully feel the need to have a disclaimer that just because I highlight one piece of music from an artist doesn't mean I like or endorse every piece of music put out by them.

I'm excited about this, so I'll probably start soon but I thought I would take a post to explain my idea of this before I start doing it.  Enjoy!

We Meet Again

Well, to say that it feels weird to be here again is an understatement. This is a little emotional for me and I'll try to explain why. Firstly, it's been a while since the last time I wrote here. When I typed the address into the search bar, I was actually surprised that a 404 page didn't show up and that, instead, I saw a familiar title and design come up on the screen. There it was - my own writing, published on a web page I undoubtedly spent hours adjusting and tweaking until it was just right, down to the blue and green squares I painted  by hand, scanned into a computer and digitized the old fashioned way with....wait for it.....*Microsoft Paint*.  Illustrator? Pshht. Who needs that when you've got the grandmother of graphic design tools for FREE on your receptionist job work computer? (sarcasm, of course. Adobe, baby, I love you.) But even the details and designs of this page speak to the reason why this is emotional for me. All of the things about this blog that ...

Seasons: The Future

So about the future.  I obviously don't know it so it makes sense that this one might be a little shorter (or longer-it could logically go either way, I just went with shorter). There are litterally (at least) a hundred different ways it could go. After the internship I'm doing, I might stay on there. Or I might come back here. If I come back here I could work, go away to college, take classes from home, live with my parents, move out with some friends, get some kind of certification and work a more specific job, come back to the office job I have now, etc. Or I could move to CA and live with some family and find a job with some distant cousins. Or I could move to some other random state and adventure there. The list of possibilities goes on and on. What sounds best to me right now is to do one of the aforementioned options that have to do with moving back here but we really will see won't we.

Lipstick marks on coffee cup lids.

This is one of those posts where I'm riskilly honest.  The kind where I don't sound politically correct but I hope you'll hear me out.  Where I admit things I'm not proud of. Ready?  Okay.  I used to ABHOR lipstick marks on coffee mug lids (as can be seen in photo below).  There, I said it. Now the funny thing to me is that the cup with the lipstick marks on the lid that you see in the picture belongs to none other than yours truly.  So let me explain.   I used to be the girl who subconsciously thought she was better because she didn't need lipstick to feel pretty or 3 coats of mascara just to leave the house.  I was proud to only wear a little bit of makeup (or none at all) and still feel like I looked like my normal, averagely pretty self.  When other girls talked about needing to reapply lipgloss or eyeliner, (especially in front of guys) I made it a point to not be lumped into their shallow activity and went out of my w...
