Midnight Park Parties

First - Yes, I finished the Chuck/Blair fanfic and it was left in a wonderful spot. Much more smut in it than I appreciated but they plot was nice.

I just got back from a fantastic night with one of my oldest best friends, Gwenevere. Gwen and I have been friends since 7th grade and even after she moved to Grand Rapids remained very close. We ended up both attending Alma College together and that was a pleasant surprise. We didn't really hang out much at Alma, but we are pretty close friends despite popular belief.

Anyways.

We went to dinner at AppleBee's and then watched Snow White and the Huntsman. That movie was actually pretty awesome and totally worth the $7.50. Let me just say one thing though, Kristen Stewart is the master of kissing awkwardly. Besides the awkward kissing though, she was pretty badass.

After the movie we went to the park by my house where we spent practically our whole summer my sophomore year of high school. The memories we share are crazy and truly shaped us to be who we are today. I am positive I gained more life experience in that one summer than I have ever in any other amount of time. We also talked about present day problems and such too. It's nice talking to Gwen because we think alike. I love her and plan on seeing her much more this summer.

Now I'm eating some red velvet cake leftover from my brother's mini birthday party. He turned 18 today and it's pretty bizarre for me. I don't know how I feel about the fact that my brother could legally go to a strip club with me now.

He has grown up so much now. We can actually have intelligent conversations about things other than RPG and Halo, so that's nice.

I'm going to make a mug of tea while I wait for Gwen's text that she got home safe.

FanFic, Potstickers, and Sunshine.

Last night as I was casually scrolling through my dashboard under the tag of "Chuck Bass" I came across someone raving about a Chuck/Blair fanfic story. Normally I'm not one to read fanfic because I like the real thing but I love Chuck/Blair so I thought I'd give this one a chance. The post also had a ton of reblogs  so I considered it worthwhile. Little did I know I would fall into reading this fanfic for three hours this morning only stopping when my best friend asked me to pick her up from work. I'm currently on chapter 8 of 17 and don't plan on stopping. So there is that.

Also my diet for the day consisted of ten potstickers, whales crackers (which are in fact much better than goldfish), carrots, and a lemon. Like I peeled the skin off and at the lemon like an orange. That was an experience. Not so bad after the first piece. You just have to make sure you get all the seeds out. Otherwise a lemon tree will grow in your stomach, you know.

I then made a bet with my sister Lynn to see who could get the most tan by the end of the summer. I am hopefully going to see her for the taste of Chicago in July and we will compare then and we will compare after band camp ends in August. The loser has to buy the winner a fifth. Good bet? I believe so. In order to get a head start on this bet I then went to the beach with my best friend Meranda and her boyfriend David where we made sand castles and played in the lake. All while judging the beach goers because what else is there to do at the beach.

Meranda and I also analyzed pop music and concluded that in order to have a hit pop song you need these three key things:

1. Uhn-Tiss Drum/Cymbal beat in the background. You can substitute the cymbal for guitar or piano as long as you keep the rhythm the same.
2. Saying the same thing over and over. It doesn't even have to make sense. Using something catchy like "Yeah baby yeah lalala yeah baby go!" works perfectly. Just repeat it. A lot.
3. Auto tune. This just brings the whole song together.

So next time you're in the car listening to the "popular" music on the radio listen for these three things. They are there. It really makes you loose faith in humanity a bit. 

I'm going to find out how Blair and Chuck are doing.

The Beginning is Always a Great Place to Start

I suppose I shall start this off with a little information about myself. Let's just make this as simple as possible.

-I am currently studying at Alma College as a Music major with a Writing minor. I want to be a lyricist and a composer of classical music. After one year of theory at Alma I can no longer enjoy pop music because I only hear the simple rhythms and V-I chord transitions. Orchestral music has become a staple in my itunes.
-I am a member of Alpha Gamma Delta. To best describe who we are I'll just share some pictures.

To sum it up I suppose you could say we are a giant pack of awesome nerds. I love these girls with all my heart. 

-I am a member of Sigma Alpha Iota, the music honorary on our campus. 

                                      

These girls have my heart as well. I'm currently VP Membership and I will be attending Convention this year with the President, Ms. Katie Greenough and my lovely little Laura Hassold.

-I absolutely love my kittens and animals in general. My kittens names are Lady and Gaga.

-Might as well just come out and say it, I'm a lesbian. It gets better though, I'm a lesbian with a huge crush on Ed Westwick. More commonly known as Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl. 

-I love writing and reading poetry. Add a giant glass mug of tea and I'm set. 

-I have played French Horn for 9 years and Mellophone for 2. It is a huge part of my life and has caused me to meet fantastic people. (Yes Lisa Folkmire, you are quite possibly one of the most fantastic people I have met.) I plan to continue on and hopefully meet Genghis Barbie. If you have never heard of them open up a tab and youtube them. 

I think that is enough for now. I'm going to finish watching this episode of South Park.
