Wanna tell you somethin...

BLOG! No matter how hard I try, I just for some darn reason can't seem to keep up with you....as evidenced here. haaa But there are just so/too many things to try to keep track of, although I know when I look back, it'll def help the trip down memory lane. Maybe I won't pull a brain muscle trying to remember stuff now!

Here's to seeing how long this blog trip will last! :)

....Because it would all mean nothin if I don't say somethin...

Keep on Movin Like You Did Last Summer...

AHHH!!! I'm so happy right now! So thankful! So....inspired.

First, it kinda had to do with me having to go to a city meeting that I really didn't want to go to. I went to the Norman council of transportation meeting....which I guess IS a bit interesting...if you're into that. But hey, I like teletransportation, so I figured 'll like talking- or hearing, rather- about regular transportation.

I came home and immediately called mi madre. I was inspired by these people having a weekly, or bimonthly meeting. They have a heart for making the city better, and the lives of those who live in it.

I want to do that.

I love helping people and trying to improve myself along with others to be the best I, and they, can be. That's part of the reason I love taking care of kids at the Y because I can help mold young minds and, hopefully, make a positive contribution to the future.

I also was inspired because after writing about the Jazz in June festival for class, I decided to really check it out because it sparked my interest so much.

Boy, am I glad I did!

I definitely broadened my music horizons, and for a band person to do that, that's pretty whoa! ha ha ha!

I love music! I love playing it, whether it be with my clarinet or on my guitar. I love singing it, whether it be obnoxiously loud in my shower or my car. I love dancing to it no matter where I am. I. love music. Very much.

It's something that I feel is very important. As one can see, I'm def a supporter of the arts! I think they should stay in the schools! It sparks creativity; it helps people learn how to express themselves in a constructive way they probably otherwise would never know about.

Came home and wrote some good stuff. Yeah. Maybe one day....they'll be songs...that I probably won't share with anyone. Because I hate singing in front of people. Who knows, maybe one day, that'll change, too!

LovIN life!

......when the grass was greener and your hair was longer.

"I Kept My Mouth Shut From the Start"

Go HOME! go home. Go Home. GO HOME!!!!

eerrrggg. I'm a bit frustrated...kind of just slightly.

Ever had that "guest" or person that doesn't really know when to leave? I DO!
Well, that person is a friend, BUT STILL! I almost wish this person were kind of like my close friends, that when it's really late, you say the words (however [im/]politely you want) "Hey, it's late. I'm tired. Ya gotta go- go sleep in your own bed/couch/palette."

All this would be fine and dandy, buuuttttt...there's just one complication-

This person "is complicated" / I-don't-even-know-what-the-eff with a roommate. And since there's some sort of maybe relationship-esque thing going on there, I can't just say, "HEY! Leave. Thanks. Bye. Don't come back for at least another 8-12 hours!"
All I really wish I could do is speak my mind and say, "hey, yeah, I signed up to have TWO roommates, NOT THREE!" But I can't tell this person what to do. I mean, yes, this place where we live is one-third mine, but this person is also the guest of the other two, and it's not like we're living with our parents and living by their rules- we can do what we want....as long as it's what we ALL want (and you know how well that works)
I just don't feel comfortable with this person being here all the time. I mean, I said something last semester to my roomies; it made me feel better, but it seriously did not solve a thing. great.

Also, another part of this is just that I guess I might not fully agree.

1) I do not want to see your canoodling on a couch on which I sleep, watch TV, eat, or do whatever. IT'S WEIRD AND AWKWARD!

2) There's a number of other things...okay, maybe not that much more, but still!

I do not like cohabitation.
Many people my age and older don't mind. The occasional overnight crash is totally dandy, but when I go to sleep, and you're here, and I wake up in the middle of the night, and you're still here, and I get ready for class, AND YOU'RE STILL HERE, it kinda gets to me. just a little bit.
And if it were the other way around, I honestly would set some sort of rule or boundary: After a certain time.....you should go. Yes, even if it were my boyfriend, boy friend, or whoever, you should go sleep in your own bed.

I want to see things from other people's point of view on cohabitation, or things like it, but I just wish people understood how I felt. Sometimes I think I should just live alone. hm....what a thought. PSH! That ain't gonna happen!!!!


My status: "-wish I knew how to speak my mind."
My friend's comment: "it starts with opening your mouth... and sometimes it helps to close your eyes at the beginning... :] "

soo true. sigh. someday...I'll find some people who agree with me on a big number of things, not just a number of things.

I should try to go to sleep, I have journalism class in 6 hours and I've been awake since 7:10 Wednesday morning.

Do you know what a Google is and what it does?

While commenting on another blog, I came across all the wonderful features and applications, if you will, that Google has to offer. Saw that I could make a blog, thought about, and said to myself, "Okay, make a blog."
And so I did.
I already blog on my Xanga (live long Xanga, in addition to Blogspot) so I can just post some of the same things, stuff from previous, or whatever I darn feel like posting.
Yes, not much news today in the life of me, but a lot in the past, and much more in the future.
If you're lucky, I'll tell you (which one: you will be lucky because two: I have to tell it)
I have a dreams...that one day, I will be a famous broadcast journalist/actress. Ask me when I'm walking down the street, that's what I'll tell you. Ask me when I'm sittin in my journalism class trying to keep my eyes open because I missed my nap, and I'll tell you that, too.

If ya wanna chat or get to know me, hit me up!

Hm...I need a cool sign-off...well, one day..
