I am entirely nervous for this week at camp. Why is it so difficult for me to just enjoy time with other people? Hopefully I will get where I am going, forget my insecurities, and have a good time.

Quick post.

So here is a link that was sent to me by Katrina a couple of weeks ago. I love it so much! The picture beneath this is not only an excerpt from the page, but the title--enjoy!

Check it out?

P.S.- I love how not only does the cat in the pictures look like my cat, but that she does most of these things regularly. Therefore if you find me dead, you know where to start the investigation. :P

Things I Love Thursday.

Oh yes, it is that time of the week again--it's Thursday! Let's get started!

• Eye exams- Weird I know, but they are fun and the gift of vision derive from them. Also, it means a new look for me--hooray!
• Phone calls with the best friend- I miss her like crazy and catching up with her makes that day so much better. I think I forget sometimes how awesome it is to have someone to talk to. Also, I love that we rushed off the phone at ten minutes until midnight just so we could make the deadline for the Things I Love Thursday post. :D
• Sales!- I am a lover of sales, call me cheap but I prefer frugal. I like to get my money's worth and today I would say that I did just that. For those of you who know me well know that I live in sweat/pajama pants when I am home, and now that it is summer it gets pretty hot. Therefore, today I made a winner of a purchase on some "active-wear" knee-length shorts for only 6 bucks; I am stoked!
• The anticipation of something awesome- Monday is camp and I am pretty stinkin' excited! I cannot even begin to tell you how happy I am to spend time with people for more than 2 hours. :D
• The photo below- I adore this picture so much and it helps the cause that it resembles my cat, Soot. I am a die hard cat person, for sure, so I thought this was right there next to sliced bread.

• 6:30 AM- Weird one I know, but I have been getting up to exercise, listen to music, and just think. Who knew that this simple change in starting out your day could make the rest so much more amazing.
  

And because I have to get up so early, I would say it is time for bed! Thanks for reading and don't forget to check in next week for another. Oh and hey, I would love for you to comment about something awesome in your week! :D

This blog is everywhere.

Sometimes I hate the truth; when I say that I mean that sometimes I hate having to tell myself that something is the truth. In other words, I hate when the things that make your stomach crawl becomes reality. I am sure I will go into detail one of these days, sometime when this realization isn't so sickening to think about. BLAH.

On a happier note, I will be heading out to spend for days of camp on Monday! I cannot even tell you how happy I am to be able to spend quality time with other people; let alone other girls my age. Brittany is really ready to be happy, make a comeback(personality wise), and be confident in who I am, and I feel like spending time with other people will help with this. Also, more importantly, I have an expectancy for God to speak some major words this up and coming week.

Even sooner on the calendar, tomorrow I have an eye appointment! Woohoo! I am only super exited for this because I will also be picking out new frames; you have no idea (unless of course you where glasses), how old wearing the same thing on your face can become. I did a good job at picking out frames when I first got these, because they go well with everything and are hard to get tired of, but I feel like these don't represent me as well as others could. So, we shall see what happens.

I thought it was a cool picture.

We have a musical Sunshine.

Earlier this week I was reading an article about the Sun. "They found that huge magnetic loops that have been observed coiling away from the outer layer of the sun's atmosphere, known as coronal loops, vibrate like strings on a musical instrument." In other words, the Sun creates its own music.

I can honestly say that this is one of the coolest things ever. This just proves even more how music can relate to every aspect of our life. Not only that, but  music can effect the way you live your life, whether you know it or not.

Everyone I'm sure has their own ideas about what this "sound" really is, but I believe it is more than just sound and more than just music. Whatever it is, there is something so surreal about the fact that God not only created music, but that His creation creates music every day--even the things no one ever knew did.

I would like to know...

Who get's a cold in the middle of summer?!

I definitely have lots to do in the next two weeks: I will be catching up/getting ahead on school, heading out to camp on Monday, getting home and getting my license, and two days later I will be on a plane headed to Michigan for 3 weeks! :D
PostScript: Maybe one of these days I will get in a meaningful blog post again. lol.

Hooray!

Beside getting sick yesterday, I happened to also book tickets to Michigan! Woot! I will be flying out of here July 4, and will be gone for a little over three weeks--cool beans. I am quite ecstatic, but I still have a ton to do before I am able to leave. Gah.

Things I Love Thursday.

Well, it's that time of the week again! It seems like this week has gone by extremely fast, and yet, I still feel a sense of accomplishment about my week. (: I still have tons to do yet, including the outline for a research paper, but if all goes well this week should end on a spectacular note.

Let's get this baby started!

• My piano- I have made the decision to conquer a task that I set out for myself a little over six months ago and, as of right now, I am stoked. :D When I have finally completely this said task I will be sure and fill you in on all of the details.
• Consequence of Sound- This lovely song has been the "song of the week" it seems, but who's complaining? (:
• Rain- For those of you who followed my blogs back in the day on Myspace will know how much rain means to me. Beside the given of tranquility, rain brings me many memories of my late grandfather. I remember when I was growing up--we would sit out on the porch on a rainy Michigan afternoon, just to listen to the thunder and watch the rain. I would usually abandon this show after around 20 minutes. but my grandpa would continue to listen and watch for hours. So yes, good memories are brought by rain and I was happy to have plenty of it this week.
• My parent's skill at being amazing- I am incredibly blessed to have the relationship I do with my parents and today was just another reminder of that. I spent my morning taking my father to work, after grabbing coffee, and then to breakfast and grocery shopping with my mom. It is days like this that I know that I am going to miss the heck out of them when college and life take me out of this home.
• Memories- Lately(especially within this last week), I have gone through so many memories and I have never been so thankful for the ability to remember even the smallest things. Although most of my reminiscing has been sparked by some of my childhood friends graduating, others times have just been in conversation with my family and brother. Oh how time flies and how scary it is to realize how fast it really does.
• Looking through the toy aisle with my brother- Today while we were at Wal-Mart my brother and I could not help but go through the toys from the new Toy Story 3. Not only are we avid fans of the original movie, but both of us cannot wait to be able to see the new addition to the Toy Story family. What made this even better is the smile that was given to us by an elderly man as we got so excited over Rex being about to "roar"(no matter how terrible the toy really sounded).
• School Guidance Counselors- Thanks to the help of my guidance counselor, I just found out some lovely news for my school and am super excited. :D
• Eye drops- Today I started using eye drops, and already I feel a difference with my eyes; so much so that it deserves a spot on my Things I Love Thursday. (:

I do believe that concludes today, I hope you guys enjoy reading these little tid-bits of my life and I look forward to sharing them every week! (:

Weather report.

One thing I absolutely adore about Florida is the late afternoon thunder showers. There was enough rain today to flood the place and I loved every minute of it. (:

You know it fits; they can taste the rainbow!

As many of you guys know I enjoy learning; I would not be offended if called a geek. Some of the best things to learn about are the most random, unheard of, things. Something that I have always been fascinated with is learning about rare diseases or disorders and today I may have just found one of the most peculiar yet.

This disease I am speaking of is called Synaesthesia and has to do with the mesh of senses. People who have this disease can literally taste the rainbow. When they see letters, numbers, and musical notes, they see them as a certain color(each diagnose as his own) and they are able to taste and smell that specific color. You could actually have a conversation with one of these said people about the taste of the color green. If you are just as interested as I was, you can visit a website explaining it even more here.

Also, thanks to Twitter and OMGFacts I have diagnosed myself with a mild version of the Tetris Effect . If you have no clue what this is check it out and tell me what you think--crazy stuff. Oddly enough though, this has happened to me several time; who knows, maybe I should just lay off the Tetris. :D

Things I Love Thursday

Things I Love Thursday is what will hopefully become a weekly post about things I really love or am thankful for at that specific moment. Doing this allows me to not only look at the positive in life right now, but to share with you guys some things that that I love! Let's get started shall we?

• The fact that Blogger has a new design section, allowing my blog to look awesome without spending all of my free time trying to figure stuff out. (:
• Spell Check--enough said.
• The triumphant feeling you get after completing an Algebra equation that just looks like a bunch of markings by the time you get done. This my friend means that one that was lengthy enough for you to forget what the original problem was to begin with.
• Learning(understanding) something new in Chemistry; it seems like every day my love and curiosity for said subject grows.
• A tall glass of cold water(nix the ice). 
• Learning how to juggle. I have decided that I wish to be able to juggle; therefore I did what any knowledgeable person would do and looked up instructions on YouTube.
• Julian Smith's "Jellyfish" video. I have had this song stuck in my head since it was released and it probably doesn't help that a still frame of it is my desktop background. :D
• The wonderful bloggers that I follow. 
• Talking to friends that I haven't talked to in a while. 
• Watching basketball with my dad and brother, even if I ask them questions about it every 10 minutes. (:
• The anticipation of seeing people you haven't seen in a long time. (:

Vacation postponed until later date.

Unfortunately my vacation will be postponed until a later date. No specifics of when that will happen, but gosh darnit Michigan is calling me! :P

I do have an idea of when this trip will take place but as for right now that will remain a secret. Until then I will just have to continue missing Michigan. ):

This week's potential.

I may actually be going on vacation this week, *crosses fingers*--I am hopeful. As I await that news though, my days will be packed with house work, school work, and projects for other people. I feel as though maybe my life is a bit hectic right now but I am trying not to look at that! When I find out the news about going I will be sure to fill you in on the plans, as well as my idea of a new post.

Ps: I want to start doing this thing called "Things I Love Thursday"; depending on if/when I leave will determine whether I will start this week or next. Either way it will consist of a list of things I love and I will be doing this post every Thursday (so I hope). I must admit that I got this idea from one of my favorite bloggers, Sarah (aka theoneinpink); you can have a look at her blog here.

Remember, you are awesome like a possum! (:

This week has been crazy..

I have a feeling that this weekend will be little-to-no rest. I have so much catching up to on school, projects for other people and just every day responsiblities of mines. *yelling* lol. So, please bare with me on the lack of posts(important posts) as I catch up on life.

Oh, also, I may be looking at a new home for my blog. I am looking at tumblr.com but I am not yet sold on it. We shall see!

Have a happy day!
