25 Things!

Okay, so I found this on The Life of an Insomniac blog and I never pass up a good dare. ;)
Let's get started shall we?

1. I hate things that are flavored grape or cherry, but I love eating the fruit.
2. If I had to eat one thing forever it would be pasta. I love Italian food! I guess it's because I'm like 45% Italian.
   
3. I love the rain and I love thunderstorms! It calms me.
4. I only watch one hour of cable a week and that hour is my Glee time.
   
5. I am a tea freak. Not iced tea, hot herbal teas and such.
6. The Phantom from the 1925 version of Phantom of the Opera and clowns scare me..
7. l love just about any shade of blue.
8. My favorite number is 13 and that is how many letters are in my first and last name combined.
9. I would love to go to Merton College in Oxford
10. My dream is to be Galinda or Glinda in Wicked.
    
11. I don't really like Starbucks that much.. Jitters is pretty decent though
12. I'm a sucker for guys who are musically inclined.
13. I am a perfectionist, and my friends think I'm CDO (OCD in alphabetical order)
14. I love shiny things.... a lot.
15. I was a girl scout up until this past year
16. I am CPR certified by the American Red Cross
17. I am a blonde that tans easily and has blue eyes. I love my eyes! haha
18. Audrey Hepburn is AMAZING and I am a HUGE fan. My grandmother told me that I kind of looked like a blonde version of her and so I looked her up and it was love at first sight. I actually met my best friend ever because of her. How to Steal a Million was cute! (:
19. I can be pretty emotional, but I care deeply for others. Whenever I have taken a career survey thingy, a counselor or physiologist is always in the top 5. I love helping other people, it makes me happy. My love for pleasing others though is what usually gets me hurt.
20. I don't really have a religion.. my family just never took me and my sisters to church. I do believe in certain things and what I do believe, I believe very strongly in.
21. I am a klutz.. I will trip over anything and everything.
22. I never swear.. at all. The words just won't come out of my mouth.. it's like there's a Great Wall of China in my mind that prevents the words from leaving. I can't even type the words...
    
23. I fall in love easily and I fall hard
24. Music is the only reason I don't go insane.
25. I don't like violence and wars... but I understand that it is necessary
    

Now that you know my 25 things, it is your turn to do the same if you haven't already.
It's kind of fun and I dare you to do it. :P

Summertime is Only one Short day Away!

(One of My hands for English)

It's 1:14am and I can't sleep, so I decided to blog. I could clean... and I probably should, but that isn't very interesting and can be done later tomorrow... or today? It's not like I have any homework to do. :) Speaking of homework. Last week I had to write a poem for English and I have decided that I want to post it. I thought it was pretty decent for someone with no writing abilities... my teacher liked it.

Dare to Dream

Newborn; so pure and innocent,
hands not yet soiled,
restrictions and rules nonexistent.
to Live.

Little Child; alone in the world
and yet surrounded by others,
looks to familiar stories for love.to Desire.

Young Adult; always analyzing, reviewing, preparing.
legs not yet adjusted
to the vast world that surrounds them.
to Wonder.

Parent; protective, positive, and patient.
arms that hold on tight to the child
with so much in store.
to Wish.
Elder; wanting to turn back the clock,
to go back to their prime,
thinking back and moving forward.
to Remember.

Departed; leaving this place for the next.
knowing that they've been found,
and that theirs is a brighter world.
to Believe.
Live, Desire,
Wonder, Wish,
Remember, Believe,
to Dream.

Dare to Dream.
for it is the food of the mind, body, and soul.

Dare to Dream.
as it is the mind in a purer form.
nothing is impossible to the heart that hopes,
and the mind that does believe.
take my hand,
follow me, and just-

Dare to Dream.

So? Not too bad I hope. Don't be afraid to tell me what you think of it. :)

I realized that for awhile my blogs have been somewhat... whiny... haha sorry about that. I'm not usually, but I have to let it out at some point, you know?
Good News!

1. It's finally summer vacation, which means..... NO SCHOOL TILL AUGUST!!!!
2. I made both A Capella and Madrigals! (The two top choirs at our school)
3. I'm finally a Sophomore! Yes! I'll kind of miss my goldfish title though.. :/ Aw well.
4. I added color to my blog posts!!

Well it finally started raining, so maybe I can hopefully catch some ZzZz's. I have a bunch to do before the family and I leave for our vacationing. Goodnight!!

P.S. I promise to do something music related in the next post.
