The room adventures

This is my room,
I am currently in that wooden swivel chair typing on that small black notebook laptop, staring at the screen with my panther picture from Discovery magazine over my white painted desk that seems to hold things that aren't really that neccesary.

That is my great grandmother's bed, on the right is the mirror that matches it. and nex to my bed is 2 books, a cable, and a completed theory test.



This is the *random* area that holds things of relative importance, but not of neccesity. Except for maybe the guitar.
The guitars name is Bernard, because he is huge. Behing Bernard is a picture of me when I was 5, and behind that is a hairbrush/comb/mirror set that also belonged to my great great grandma..






This is my dog, his name is Finnagan. He is an idiot but I love him. Finn is a Papillion (or toy spaniel) and acts more like a cat then a dog. He smells really bad all the time...

And in case you were wondering, this is the view from my desk.

Welcome to my rather messy closet, and the blue dress is the most used in there. Their are a ton of instruments all over my room. Next to my hoodie is my violin (his name is Filipe..) and the Mandablaster is next to bernard. Two electric violins take refuge in my closet, hidden nicely underneath my skirts.






And this next picture is my latest try at realistic art.. It is a lion and I like it, but I could have done something different with the background.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed looking into my room. You can tell the person by the room usually. Or at least some of the person.

:D

Melting my brain

Sometimes when I am really tired, I like to watch a movie where I dont have to think of anything. It's an indulgence that I am not proud of, but I do end up sitting in front of a screen and watching 1 to 2 hours of fluff when needed.

But the problem is that I can't seem to cope with what is being put on the screen anymore. The immorality in all of the shows is incredibly shocking. I watched a terrible movie today and I am not proud of it. Who comes up with this pointless stuff? Where their is a swear every two seconds, and a sexual joke within every scene. And if it's not a sexual joke, its a scene. I hate modern movies.

So to balance my horrible taste in bad movies, I got my mom to choose one for me tonight. and SCORE! We have a winner!
The Help:

Not only does this movie have 1 of my favorite actresses in it, but it is a wholesome family movie. With a real plot, a real story, and real history. It's not about some stupid hick who traveled to the country and then was a jerk for a while until she fell in love with some bloke. It's about real life situations, things that you could actually see happening.
Not to mention that the acting was absolutely wonderful. I love when you are so into the story you can't tell they are acting.

And I laughed so hard in this movie, I thought I was going to start crying!

Oh and the costumes are amazing, maybe I will take out my sewing maching tommorrow.

Irant: Co-ed missionary work

Good morning,
for those who don't remember my last iRants, I now am introducing you to the wonderful world of my brain! Every once in a while I will post a very opinionated work about how much I dislike this, or how this is bad for society.

And then you read it and gasp at all the spelling mistakes, because Rants are raw, unedited pieces of opinion. So hold your breath for a garbage-load of bad spelling.

First off, I was way to lazy (and busy) to make a new iRant episode button, so for this, I do truthfully apologise!

This iRant's episode; The Co-ed missionaries.

You know, the ones on the same team, who live in the same house, who spend every waking moment with each other doing youth missionary work?

This topic recently came up because one of my acquaintances left missionary work to date one of the people on his team. Dating is obviously not allowed on the team, but the thing that made me mad was that they only had 5 months left before going home! They could have totally done it! And what makes me more enraged is that the temptation was there in the first place. When you go on missionary work YOU GO TO PREACH, teach, work, heal, and it's all for Jesus!

How could the founders not get it into their heads that women and men are attracted to each other? Do they think that the guys could deal with the temptation? And the girls! Seriously, do you think that they wouldn't get attracted and silently fight over the one cute guy on their team. And then there is this whole thing about guys who are "out of bounds" are more attractive (which I don't understand at all). Really? You are there to serve Jesus, you are an example to the young people you are preaching to!

Most of all, these people are better then this, and I pray that this mission isn't going to turn into a "Find-A-Husband" thing. I have seen mission's, camp's, and college's turn into a bunch of things that they were not intended for.

And to ease the mood, for the end of this very short iRant I give you, my new favorite homeschooling youtuber (excluding Julian smith of course)

My teenager playlist

I know, the title of my blog may be a tad *proper* to be posting about these sorts of things, but I really don't care at the moment. And in fact, I like to post everything about myself (well mostly everything) and that ranges. It all depends on my mood, the day, the weather even!
So happy Sunday!

Today I went to church, asked the priest why the Confitior was omitted during mass, (I am so afraid that i am going to turn into the annoying ladies in mass who question the priests, thankfully he was perfectly happy to answer my question) ate like 3 more cake pops, and listened to music.

And I thought I would share with you the top 10 songs I listen to EVERY DAY. These of course vary, but I wear out songs and then move on, like clothes hahaha. But you should be warned, most of these songs are pretty random/nerdy.

1. Louder Than Words- Heyhihello; not only do I love this song, I really like the band... most especially Jakub Andrew.. :)

2. Down in the Valley- The Head and The Heart; this song is very Mumford and Sons, really well done vocals, and definitely some great contemplative music.

3. Blink- Chameleon Circuit; I like the aucoustic version of this (done by Charlie McDonnel). And yes, this song is based off of Doctor Who.

4. Forever Yours- Alex Day; though I dont agree with many of Alex Day's morals, I have to admit that he is an excellent artist.

5. Something on My Mind- Hawk Nelson; this is excellent juggling music.

6. Freak the Freak out- Victoria Justice and Victorious Cast; just a random song haha!

7. Lady Come Down- The Importance of Being Earnest Sountrack; I just get this song in my head.. all the time!

8. You and I- Ingrid Michealson; I just started recently listening to her, it's not really my favorite Genre of music, but Miss Michealson is definitely an awesome songwriter!

9. Fallin for you- Black Keys; I first listened to this from my brother, and I now listen to it all the time.

10. 600 pillows 2 guys, backwards pillow song- Rhett and Link: just funny music haha!

I hope you listen to some of these songs! If you are more into Owl City, I really know you will love Heyhihello, and if you like Mumford and Sons, you will like Head and the Heart.

My Cake pops..

Dearest Bloggers,
I come to you in order to inform you of the greatest misfortune of my Christmas Season..
That's right,
Cake Pops....
Or more correctly known as; my involuntary cake Poop.

Okay.. I tried making gluten free cake pops for my mom, and I had a meltdown. I think melting the chocolate was hard, and not using *cake* in my cake Pooh's was an bad choice on my part. I had to use every blender in the house in order to crumble the cake/brownie and then used a food processor to put in the frosting... Lets just say that my experiment at making something my mom could actually eat... Well it was rather messy.

Hey it wasn't even like they looked bad.. They actually looked pretty delicious..


I think it was the fact that they were brown, falling off their lollipop sticks, and also dripping of the heavy chocolate that adorned them with the name of Cake Poops...

Note to self:
1. never EVER use brownie mixture again in Cake Pops.
2. Bakerella lies about how easy it is,
3. next time eat them all... Don't share, hide them in your room and watch Doctor Who...

New Years Resolutions,

Happy new year and 2 days!

I know that was belated but it was better late then never eh?

SO these ARE MY Resolutions, wishes, and hopes!

Resolutions! I take these each year from the Catholic young woman, I find that one is enough to concentrate on!

Dependability. To fulfill all my duties promptly and cheerfully. To be someone others can trust. To never gossip, share things that were said in confidence, or talk behind another's back. To think of the Blessed Virgin's Fiat and her faithful service to God throughout her life.

And this:
To spend less time on Youtube.. Most especially watching Julian Smith Videos over and over again....

Wishes:
To be an example of my faith,
To be more easygoing and reliable

Hopes:
To be able to travel to another country again :) That would be really sweet!

A List of Excuses

I know I did not complete my challenge. But I have excuses! You might consider them childish or not good enough, but even though I am dissapointed in myself i still think that my reasons are valid.

Christmas Is a time for being with my family, my brother will only be here for another 2 days! I will miss him dearly and I think that it would be rude on my part to be on the internet so much.
I spent one entire day solving a Rubik's cube... I know this excuse cancels out my previous excuse because I basically hid myself in my room until I solved it.. So 6 hours working aimlessly for something I couldn't repeat. Solving the cube was a fluke.. Because I can only sone 2/3 of it now.. Barely,I read the entire Hunger Games Trilogy. But I guess it only took me 4 days.
I could have done it in three but I wasn't that dedicated, and besides it took me a long time to absorb some of the elements in the book, I remember the least things from book 2.


Yes I only have 4 excuses... :(

Regency Ramblings

Happy Birthday Jane Austen!

In Celebration of Austen week I gathered a flock of girls to dress up in regency finery and drink tea, here are a few pictures:



The Hair process took a long time, most especially with Gwen's dark mass of hair that requested to be curled.

This is my birthday card to dear Jane Austen in celebration of her birthday.

Dearest Miss Austen,

I thank you for writing these wonderful novels. I have spent my teenage years on your stories, daydreaming of Colonel Brandon, and lapping up every word from Emma. I have spent a whole semester studying your work in classes with other Jane Austen fans.

The best part about reading your books is the community you end up falling into. The other fans who adore you, they make wonderful company.

I thank you for inspiring me to dream a little more, and to aspire to things greater than myself.

In Christ
