Fun With Blogs

Wow, fun fun fun! So I just spent hours and hours fixing up my blog with the help of my little brother. Most things I try to figure out on my own, but he's my resident genius for the technical stuff. :D So, I've gotten a whole new look that I think suits better and i owe much of the credit to my bro: thanks much.
And don't think I've forgotten about mentioning you in the dedication should my story ever get published ... and you won't be dead before I do it.
Now I'm off to pretend that I didn't just waste a perfectly good day and live up to my title of the sleepless wonder. toodeloo!

Red With Black Spots

Every so often something catches my attention and lodges its self in my thoughts. I become fascinated by whatever it is and depending on what it is, I try to learn more about it. I seem to go through quite a lot of fascinations, but I never entirely let go of the old ones. Most recently I have developed a new appreciation for the cello. The problem is that I have not yet been able to find one to try my hand at, and buying one isn't any easier because of how expensive instruments are.
The Latest fascination is actually not a completely new one, but an old one that has been sparked because of something i read recently. lady beetles
I remember when I was about in the third grade I made a picture of a ladybug out of construction paper and asked my teacher if I could go teach one of the younger classes about ladybugs. I guess then that they have been a fascination to me for awhile. I've always thought them friendly and cheery looking with their black and red and I've even considered finding a bunch of little pins or buttons in ladybug shape and sticking them to a t-shirt or something. I did that once with frogs, but my mother borrowed that shirt and I've never seen it again. I think perhaps I'll make some sort of Ladybug necklace or maybe a pair of earrings. That should perhaps satisfy my fascination and the next time I think "hmm, ladybugs" I'll have the necklace to wear.
P.S. remember that post all about red? Some people consider ladybugs lucky and some use them to help in their gardens. :D bye for now and let me know if you have any fun ladybug stories.

late night feelings

I've been thinking about snow of late.We don't have snow at the moment, though way too much rain for typical March. It is that lovely transition between winter and spring when winter is trying to hold on yet spring is beginning to blossom. Tonight I was out walking with a friend and the air was just so beautifully crisp and clear. It reminded me of a quiet winter morning. Also there is something trans-like about street lamps and neon signs at night, when activity is slowed to a minimum. I find it very beautiful. Now I ought to write my papers, yet I can't quite get up the motivation I'd really rather just sit outside and listen to the silence :)

Another Day

Not much happening here today, though the heat has gone on some sort of rampage. hehe I am practicing barre chords now because I suppose they are useful though we are not friends at the moment. I had a giant craving for Chinese, but no one would go for it with me so sadly I had to deel with the food here. :( O Well, another day maybe. I also organized my flash drive a bit which for some reason I very much enjoy. ... I sort of want to drink some coco, but it is too hot right about now lol.Maybe this week will get more interesting? laters :D

swimming

So for my field experience psych class I am doing my internship at an afterschool program for children who are blind and visually impaired. It is every Thursday, but twice a month there are activities on Saturday. Today the kids went swimming. Indoor swimming of course, and since it has been raining for days here and it is still winter after all that really helped. I am now wonderfully coated with clorine and should shower soon bc if nothing else, my hair feels gross. lol :D I actually love swimming, but not in pools. I really used to like swimming in the pond or at the beach, but only when it is really hot out because the water is cold at the beach. Now I am just hanging out and probably gonna go back to my friend Ducky's room because her roomies are gone and i don't have one. toodaloo

Valentines Day Is It ...

It pretty much seems to break up like this, either you have a Valentine and the two of you are happy extatic together, or you don't have one and you're not. I'm not really sure how I feel really, it comes it goes it comes again. I do think I enjoyed getting those little cardboard valentines we used to pass out in school. Ah well, not much to do here at the moment and I should probably go to bed, but I am not ready for sleep just yet. Maybe if I get a dog we can go out for nightly jogs ... maybe that is what I should do.
I did meat a bearded dragon and fell in love with him. He is a very cool feeling lizard and I had always kinda wanted one, but now I really want one. well, good night and happy Valentines/singles awareness day

hi again

So I am very pleased to report that my snow leopard is finished ... though, long since by now. It is finished none the less. Today is very cold out and firefox is saying it is 16 Degrees out. brrrr we also had a mini blizzard, and when i say mini, i mean it litterly lasted no more than five minutes.It was very random, sometimes i wonder about those things. In any case, i am currently working on a story that i am considering posting on here when it is finished. We will see how it all goes. ttfn and keep warm in love and coco!
