Rewriting Herstory

First of all...

CONGRATULATIONS TO MY COUSIN MA!

She just gave birth to her first child today. A girl. Pretty dang exciting.

So...

I've been thinking a lot lately, because that's what I do when I'm stressed. 

I was trying to figure out the meaning of life... Yeah, I know... what a thing to think about. But here is what I came up with. Life is... A moment of great sadness, followed by a moment of great joy. It's the rises and the falls. 

I only say this because I truly believe that things happen for a reason. You don't get what you want because something better comes along eventually. 

What happened to me was that I lost an auction for something, only to win an auction that I feel is money a lot better spent. 

I know that it's kind of a weak example, but it's prevalent. 

I also say it because I've been so depressed and sad lately, but these two really good things happened today, that it was all right. 

Cause for a smile:

There was a concert today at school. There were two bands playing.

They're from Hawaii. One band is called The Green, and the other was a girl named Anuhea.

Here is a video of The Green's song Love I. It's basically the song that made them famous.


I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!

I also took an amazing nap today, which was the most rejuvenating thing that i could've done. I just feel like I've been so tired lately.

I'm glad it's the weekend.

But it's too bad that I'm locked down and needing to get things done.

At least it's a few more things marked off my list.

And finally...

Someone else is added to our family!!! Yay!!!

So, last night, I had a really weird dream about a dress, I think. There might have been something about it not fitting. But I think that I was a spy, or someone was after me. And I had to make it to a football game. Hmmm...

I decided to share this because it's the first dream that I've remembered in a while and I thought that I'd share it with you. 

I mean, lately, I've been waking up, then going back to sleep. Usually when I do, I have a really vivid dream, and most of the time I remember it. I wonder why that is.

I think that my sleeping patterns have been funky because I've been staying up until at least three o'clock every night writing.

Here, I thought that I was going to be getting a lot more sleep since I don't have class yet.

I WAS WRONG!!!

I just got out of a hot shower to sooth my aching muscles. You remember yesterday when I said that I was going to wake up with bruises? Well, there aren't any new bruises, but my left side was pained today. 

Luckily there wasn't open gym today. Because I probably would've gone and ended up sporting a lot more bruises.

Cause for a smile:

So, today I played Rockband. With my friend. Haven't played in awhile. Started off a little rusty, but I got into the groove quickly.

And there was the premiere of America's Best Dance Crew (ABDC). I love watching dancing. But I'm just anxious to see all the final crews because I want to be 5 for 5 in calling the winner after the first episode.

And finally, this made me smile...


Seriously... try not smiling while watching this...

So, here are two reasons why I love the rain.

Perfect sleeping weather.

And...

I love the sound it makes when it hits my umbrella.

Today, I walked to church in the rain. I was really surprised that my friend actually woke up to come to church with me. As tired as he was, he stayed awake and at the end, told me that he really liked the new priest.

On our way back, we decided that we were going to make a TV show together. I'd write it, and he'd do everything else. 

I mean, it is his major, and it is sort of my major?

We went back to his place and had apple juice and a grilled cheese sandwich. Two things that I haven't had in awhile.

Good times.

Came back to my room and made good use of the perfect sleeping weather. I didn't really do much the rest of the day...

Cause for a smile:

So, I received those prompts that I was talking about yesterday and I'm so excited to write.

BUT...

I was pretty excited about making a new writing playlist. So, with every story that I need to finish, I make a new playlist. A lot of the songs are the same from my old playlists, but more songs are just added on. I spent half of my day choosing songs to go on it.

It's half the fun when I write.

So playlist is made, and I'm about go get to writing.
