TOP FIVE RANDOM FACTS + NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS

So I've seen that this tag has been going around...basically it's just five totally random facts about me that most people may not know. Hope your interested!


1. I have this really, really weird habit of just glancing (raising my eyebrows) randomly. I'll just do it all the time...and I have no idea why! It's just so weird and everyone is always asking me why I do it!


2. I hate, hate, hate, hate, HATE scary movies! I know, most people in this age are crazy about them. But, really, I've been scarred from previous violent movies, and now, every time that I watch one I usually experience dehja vu or have a nightmare later that night. So I've just decided to give them up once and for all.


3. I love writing music, poetry, songs, stories, scripts, speeches, or anything like that! I just feel like, especially when I'm writing music, I can truly express my emotions. I usually eventually end up adding chords to the lines. And also, I got a guitar for Christmas so I totally can't wait to start using that!


4. Another bad habit: chewing. I CANNOT STOP CHEWING ON MY HAIR! I usually have lip gloss on, and my hair usually gets stuck in it, and then my hair usually ends up in my mouth. Some say it's a nervous habit, but if that were true for me, I'm nervous all the time. I know that sounds a bit cliche, but it's true! I also have other bad chewing habits. Whenever I have headphones or earphones in my ears, I am always chewing on the black cord. Like, I've probably ruined like seven different sets of headphones. I know this one sounds a bit cheezy, but it's totally true!


5. I love decorating! I'm always trying to go to Hobby Lobby or Michaels or Pier 1 Imports, or just places like that so I can decorate my house or bedroom. I've actually been considering being an interior designer. I'm not sure why I like decorating...I guess I just feel more comfortable in my house if my house is clean and organized and decorated. I wouldn't say I'm OCD. In some ways I can be slightly OCD, depending on the situation, but, yeah I'm getting off topic! :)


My New Years Resolutions


I know this is totally late but I really wanted to make a post on it. I don't know why I haven't done it this year yet, but, I don't know why it really matters.


One of my biggest New Year's resolutions is trying to eat healthy. I've been showing a lot of symptoms of bad stomach bacteria or diabetes, but I can't help but wonder is maybe I should just start trying to eat healthier. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not overweight or like a big junk food fanatic. But, yeah, I think everyone's body could use a break from all of the horrible junky foods that the markets process these days. And I think that is a great New Year's resolution. 


I don't know if you would nesiccarly call this a New Year's resolution, but I have decided to start saving up my money for some of the more expensive makeup that I've been wanting (MAC, Sephora, Coastal Scents, BHcosmetics, Almay, etc.) But I really feel like I want to experience more with makeup. I just enjoy using makeup and trying new techniques. As of right now, I don't have THAT much makeup, (okay, maybe I do,) but not the kinds that I like. Okay, now I'm probably sounding all selfish and stuff, but doesn't every girl have the right to experience? I think so. 


Jeez, I should learn to condense my sentences! What a long blog! :)

My Latest Obsession: Taylor Swift

If any of you are Taylor Swift fans, you know how great of a writer she is. I just love how she expresses all of her emotions in her songs. She once said that listening to her music is a lot like reading her personal diary. I just think that is so cool! I can't stop listening to her new album, "Speak Now." I can't believe she wrote it without any co-writers, and only in two years! My favorites songs on the album are Enchanted, Mean, Back To December, and Long Live. It turns out I just got a new guitar for my birthday and I'm going to try to learn those songs on it! I'm sooo excited about that. I've already learned most of them on the piano, but I just feel like a guitar seems more fitting for her songs. 
The other day, I decided to have a little fun with my makeup and do a makeover like the picture below:


It was definately very challenging, considering I don't have much experience with liquid eyeliner, plus the fake eyelashes, (Not to mention the blinding lipstick!) but I think it was a good experience. I would post a picture of my makeover, but my camera is broken! :/ How sad. I'm hoping to invest in a new one, but I really want an iPod Touch. Aha..as I was saying..yes, I'm done talking about the makeover now. Oh, yeah. I also tried to do my hair like hers (not like in this picture, but, you know how she usually has it done.) But I got it way to curly, and my hair was just a big poof-ball. Haha! So I'm not going to try that again!
On another note, I also loved Taylor's previous albums: "Taylor Swift" and "Fearless." Though I didn't start listening to her until after her Fearless album, I am obsessed with her songs now! On the first album I love the songs Picture to Burn, A Place In This World, Stay Beautiful, and Our Song. On Fearless I love You're Not Sorry, White Horse, Love Story, and Tell Me Why. I think the reason I love these songs so much is because I can really relate to them when it comes to my relationships. But isn't that what the songs were meant for? I mean, wasn't that her purpose of publishing them? So other people could relate? Maybe that's one of the reasons. 
I also understand that there are tons of girls (and guys) who pretty much despise Taylor. There could be several reasons for this, but hardly are considered even remotely logical. Like most that I meet say that they just hate Taylor because she's a bad singer. Well, what the heck is that? Does an artist have to have an amazing voice in order for you to like them? I don't think the main focas of her music is her voice, but rather her song lyrics. There are so many troubled people out there just looking for someone to relate to, and they find a sense of comfort in songs like these. But I can understand if someone is really into rock and roll and metal-type music, for them to say they dislike Taylor. But unless she's done something totally wrong, there is no reason for you to say that you "hate" her! Okay, here I am, probably rambling. I guess that means it's time to end the blog now. (:

NEW SCHOOL

So, as some might know, I've been pretty much everywhere when it comes to types of schooling. I went to private, homeschool, co-op, back to homeschool, public, back to co-op, and now...an acadamy! It's mainly for homeschoolers, and doesn't have very many students involved. But I am at least remotely enjoying. The reason I use the word "remotely" is because I really, really miss my previous co-op. Though I went for only one semester, I made lots of friends and I just loved it. But now, the assigments are pretty tough, and just not the type I'm used to. So be praying for me in that area!
