Been a while….
FINALLY! My iPad is officially useful due to the fact that I now have wi-fi. Hooray do for technology that was invented a while ago and is taken for granted by modern day society!
On a slightly different note, I went on my second official hipster rampage last night at this underground (yes, literally underground… because I’m hipster) coffee shop to see this guy named Oliver Burdo play. Look. Him. Up. I’m pretty sure he’s on iTunes now, if not, he’s definitely on Youtube. Needless to say, the kid is fabulous. Unfortunately, he only played for a a few minutes due to fatigue and was followed by this amazingly terrible band. Honestly, the instrumentalists weren’t terrible but the vocalist made me want to hang myself from the lamps on the ceiling. Fortunately, Drew and I left and got Mexican food at this place not too far away. After that, we went to her house and watched a Doctor Who episode featuring the one and only Vincent Van Gogh! All in all, I had a very good time and felt compelled to share it on the internet. Mostly for Oliver Burdo’s sake!
Yet another stranger’s photo stream I have fallen in love with. Except you can’t just look at THAT ^ photo for the full affect. His entire stream has many dimensions, all of which are interesting. So CHECK IT OUT!
30 Day Challenge: Day 7
Does your Zodiac sign fit your personality?
Zodiac Sign: Capricorn
Capricorn’s Traits:
A typical Capricorn has good organizational skills, is neat and tidy, have hardheaded practicality. You have strong work ethic, materialistic tendencies, a conservative streak, conventionality and great respect for authority. You are ambitious, serious and dedicated to duty. You are self-disciplined, responsible and practical but at times, you can wallow in self-pity. Your reasoning ability is excellent and has strong sense of purpose and direction.
A Capricorn may appear somber and reserved in their dealings with others, but once they give the trust, they are a loyal and steadfast friend. Socially oriented, you are willing to work hard for anything you want, and your self-esteem is extremely important to you. You are bright and quick. You are good in detail as well as in insight and conceptual formulation. You are materialistic rather than philosophical. You are capable of falling in love for its own pleasure but love alone will not motivate you to marriage. To you marriage serves a social design.
My response: Okay, so I know I have good organization skills, I just fail to use them. I have an average work ethic I think, not terrible but not awesome. I do like material things and consider myself a conservative, and I definitely have great respect for authority. I am mostly ambitious, however I have no idea what I want to do with my life and I can be serious. It’s pretty much right. However, I do not think marriage is a social design. I think marriage is important.

30 Day Challenge: Day 5
A time I thought about ending my own life
There are only two times when I’ve thought of this. The first time it happened, I was in the sixth grade and my parents were arguing. It was one of those arguments that the kids all hide in their rooms from and try to escape the sound. Unfortunately, I couldn’t completely, and the thought of them divorcing terrified me to a point that I couldn’t handle. As a sixth grader, the thought is quite traumatic. While many other kids go through it at that age, I am not one of them that could. Instead of offing myself though, I called my friend (who I am still very, very close to) and talked to her about it. My parents had made up by the time I got off the phone. I went to her house that afternoon. And life went on.
The second time it occurred was when I was in eighth grade. My grandparents were in town (I don’t remember why) and I was on my way home from the movie theater in their rented mini-van. One minute I was laughing, going on and on about how great the movie was (we’d seen Valkyrie) and how I couldn’t wait to go see it again. Everything was fine. What happened to me that night… I can’t really explain myself but basically, I got this really mild headache and a sudden feeling of depression. I don’t know what caused it and I thought it would pass. When I got in the house, I went to the bathroom to take some aspirin and the thought of just swallowing the whole bottle went through my mind. And, as sick as it sounds, I was seriously contemplating it. I don’t know what helped me only pop two of the tablets in the mouth and not more, but I’m glad it was there. When I went to my room, I picked up my phone and texted a friend of mine who I thought could help me. She’d been suicidal before and I was hoping she’d give me some helpful words or something. Instead, she told me she couldn’t think clearly at the moment because she was with her boyfriend. I texted another friend. She called me immediately and stayed on the phone until I felt better. I no longer speak to the first friend because of that incident. Life has gone on.
I have never had another one of these impulses. I’m very glad I haven’t. I have only told one of my friends these stories because I don’t know how the others would treat me if they found out. Life still goes on. And I’m currently happy.
Reblog if you’re NOT Tumblr famous and you appreciate your followers.
I love you all. :)

30 Day Challenge: Day 4
My views on religion
To me, religion equals reason. Actually… no. Faith in something equals reason. And I mean “reason” in the way that “you have something to keep you from falling off the deep end.” It’s probably because I was raised on a firm base of Christianity that I believe this, but I feel that people without religion have nothing. They could have all the clothes in the world, all the money in the world, all the friends in the world, and still have nothing. God has taught me to appreciate the things I have and the things I receive, even things I don’t receive. He has taught me to trust people, how to be at my happiest and He has taught me to be the best person I can be. After that, I don’t think there’s anything more you can ask for.
I’m not trying to sound self-righteous by saying any of this. I respect the choice of those who have decided to not believe in anything. I will not attack them for that choice. It is personal, and I can’t change it. But I expect the same respect. I’d appreciate (if anyone’s reading this) no comments about my beliefs. Honestly, I don’t care. I have never cared about what people think about me and you’re no different. My opinions will never change on this subject, as will yours. Thank you.
