Teen Romance Novels =

Setting myself up for extremely strange dreams. Dreams that I haven't been having for a long time. Therefore I believe these books I have been reading are to blame. Lately I haven't been reading as much as I would like to seeing as I used to read every single day, but I guess high school ruined that for me. English teachers in high school tend to make up a list of books that you HAVE to read if you have any hopes of passing their class. When I would read these books I wouldn't really be enjoying them, I wasn't really reading for fun anymore. Now don't get me wrong, some of these books weren't half bad, but I just felt like I was being forced to read them. So I stopped reading for fun for a while. And I just recently started up again and let me tell you, that's when the dreams started happening. The only books, for now, that I'm interested in are the fantasy/romance type books. Which would explain why I'm having fantasy's about romance? Sounds pretty lame, but I'm just telling it like it is. These dreams are nothing risque before you go assuming. They are just really far out there dreams that I don't really know why I'm having them. But hey, they keep me entertained!

Autumn, Fall, Same Difference

It is without a doubt fall. I'm sitting at work gazing out of the front doors, daydreaming as usual. It's a windy day and all I see is yellow and orange leaves floating in the air until they reach their destination on the ground. It's so beautiful outside. It's days just like this that make me want to go grab a rake and gather up as many leaves as i can, then go get a running start and just dive into them! Could I sound anymore like a child?

Car+Candy Logo=Nonsense

Angie asked me to blog about this topic, so here it goes...

What is up with the candy logos that people are getting printed on their cars? What's the point in it? I feel that it is getting a little ridiculous. Now, I can understand if people want to support their favorite brands and what not, but what is the point in having to drive around in a car dedicated to it. T-shirts, purses, jewelry, etc is understandable, but cars? And It's not only candy logos, It's also food, cigarettes, and gum brands. Come on guys, really?... And the thing that really gets me about this is that these people aren't even making a profit off of the advertisement they are doing. They probably don't even realize that they are advertising for these brands. So overall, the people who make these brands are making FREE money from all the FREE advertising they are getting. I see these cars everywhere! And I'm extremely tempted to just ask one of these people one day why they have a car like that, just out of curiosity. It really makes me wonder if they are or aren't getting paid for riding around in these cars.

......enough said.

Strigiformes

Owls are my most favorite animals aside from the giraffe and the moose. I don't know what it is about owls that I love so much, I guess it's that they are so mysterious. You rarely ever see them, and if you do, it's probably hiding in a tree hole. Maybe that's what makes them so fascinating. I've sat outside several times at dusk and heard the call of several owls. They always sound so close, but I can never point out where exactly the sound is coming from. And for some reason I think my interest in owls might have come from the owl off of Harry Potter... (: or maybe it was further back for example, the owl from the Disney movie The Sword and the Stone. Either way I love olws! Im done rambling now.

Archimedes: The Sword And The Stone



Seriouslly, you cant say this isnt cute.

Just chillin' in a hole.

Acoustic Obsession

I don't know what it is but there's just something about an acoustic guitar that mesmerizes me. Whether its listening to acoustic music, myself playing the guitar or someone else playing it, it doesn't matter I am in awe. I could just sit and listen to someone play for hours & hours & be completely content. Luckily for me my best guy friend plays the guitar, extremely well, so if I ever needed a fix, he'd play something for me. (: But that's another thing, hearing it on the phone & hearing it in person are completely different. Hearing a guitar being played right in front of you is always more appealing than hearing it over the phone. But sometimes you just have to make due with what you have. I'm not too picky!

If A Goldfish Had A Memory...

Which I think it does, maybe a minuscule one, then that's the memory I have. I have the hardest time remembering things for some reason. & I have no clue how I'm going to make it through pharmacy school with this memory. Cant seem to retain anything. Hopefully this is something that will pass with time, because I'd like to be able to recall things that people have said or done. I don't have the WORST memory. I still remember certain things, but not as much as I should be remembering. Now, what were we talking about again....?

Consumed With Empathy

Empathy: (noun) The intellectual identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another.

Is it so wrong to want to help a troubled soul when you know they're hurting? I can't help but care about people. That's just how I've always been. I'm always wanting to help someone, even if I don't know that person very well, or at all. I'm extremely observant & I see things differently than most people do. I analyze everything because I believe that everything happens for a reason. When someone's acting a certain way or saying something, its always for a reason. Most of the time that reason is hidden because people are masking their feelings. But in general I'm pretty good at figuring people out.

I feel as if I would be able to help more people if I wasn't so shy. & I have a really hard time talking to people that I don't usually talk to. Its like deep down inside I want to reach out, but I just cant. Its like I cant conquer my own fear to help others. But I'm going to try to overcome that, because all I really want to do is be of help to people who need it.
