Hey Everyone!
I'm currently listening to Already Gone by Kelly Clarkson.
One thing about me that my friends and family are sure to tell you right off the bat about me, is that I love to sing. Off-pitch, but without shame. This isn't about my horrendous renditions of "Ain't no Mountain High Enough", this is about how as humans we have moved music into our lives.
Whenever I am sad, I throw on Kate Nash's "The Nicest Thing". Whenever I am mad, I throw on Three Days Grace's "I Hate [everything about you]". My mood dictates what I can stand listening to. Which is why my IPOD has over 10,000 songs. I need music to go about my daily activities. Right now, I'm listening to Kelly Clarkson's "I do not Hook up" while writing this blog. Which can be quite distracting because I want to stand up and dance around as I belt out the lyrics, but I will somehow stop myself. I listen to my favorite "driving music" whenever I am in the car. [I recommend Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell"] I listen to dance music and oldies when I am cooking, such as The Partridge Family's "I think I love you". Every activity that I do has a soundtrack.
I find that most of my friends are the same way. When did music integrate into our daily lives? IPOD headphones are now normal to be seen in offices, walking down the streets, and in classrooms. Music has infiltrated our lives to the point where our bosses think nothing of tapping our shoulders to let us know they need something because we are absorbed in "Right Round" by Flo Rida.
Everywhere I go I see headphones and people listening to their own soundtracks. Does this hinder our interactions with the people around us? Are we forsaking our interpersonal development for the "relationship" between us and our music?

Singing
Hey Everyone!
I'm currently listening to More Like Ker by Miranda Lambert.
I love singing. I am horrible at it, but I love it. I cannot help myself. Give me some cheesy 70s song and I am set! Heartbeat... it's a lovebeat... I can sing some songs pretty well He's a little shy so she gave him a smile... But overall, it is just for fun. I think that everyone needs those kinds of things.
I know that I have mentioned before that I love music, but singing is such a part of that. It is great, because even if I'm singing a song that I sooooo should not be singing Mamaaaa... Didn't mean to make you cry.... I can still be happy with myself. I love that I can be myself. I am really not self conscious. I have even sang in the hallways of my high school in the past. It's not because I have the greatest voice [not obnoxiously, just did it for my own enjoyment...] but it is because I like singing.
Like I touched on before, I think everyone should have something that equates to my singing. Something that you are not fabulous at. Something that makes you happy. Something that you are comfortable in your own skin doing. When you have all three of those things wrapped together, I think you can honestly say you are comfortable in your own skin. When you can showcase a weakness and be comfortable with other people seeing it, but still be happy with it, that is amazing.

Thoughts
Hi Everyone!
I’m currently listening to The Sound of White by Missy Higgins.
River gave me this amazing publication today. It is a literary magazine that has some amazing pieces in it. One piece, actually the very first piece, made my heart stop. Its beauty was overwhelming. I have been reading it throughout my school day, becoming more and more enchanted with each word, with each syllable.
I like to sing. I listen to my IPOD frequently throughout the day at school. I find that I have this overwhelming desire to belt out certain songs sometimes. I think that music is powerful. It speaks to everyone. There is music for every mood, for every person. Sometimes I swear I can feel the music inside of me. I just like it that much.
Where any preconceived ideas were blown away… *me singing*
So, anyhow. I hate it when I come up with something so extremely brilliant and perfect, then fourteen minutes later when I go to write it down, I am completely blank. Oh sure, I have the general idea of what my plan was, of the words I found so perfect only minutes earlier. I can’t seem to string the words together right though. They come out jumbled and wrong. Just plain wrong. It’s quite annoying.
Today feels like a Friday. Which makes me sad, because I wish it was Friday. I got really sad when I realized it was not Friday, but Wednesday. Wednesday is good too though. Wednesday is good too.

Blogs
Hi Everyone!
I'm currently listening to Fall Away by Better off Dad
Before I go further into my blog I would like to recommend Better off Dad to EVERYONE! They are a great band and the lead singer's voice is quite amazing...
LOST returned yesterday. I almost had a heart attack because I was so happy to see it. I adore Josh Holloway. Anyways, Lost is my obsession. Anyone who wants to talk about it, I'm always game!
I talked to my friend today, the one who has been my best friend for what seems like forever. We worked it all out. I was really happy because although she was getting on my nerves I realized she is human too and was hurt by something I did. I never even thought to consider that. Which I know seems stupid, but she is perfect. She is my perfect other half (friend-wise not in a creepy way). I'm really glad we worked it out. I don't know what I would do without her.
