Updates Once More...

[the pictures in this post have nothing to do with what the text says] Okay so...I wasn't allowed to take pictures with my iPod at camp. But, camp was amazing! It was so much fun. Now you all know the lends is broken, right? Well I cannot access my email on this computer currently and that's the only way I can get other iPod photos on here. I can get some though. Anyways, I'm not going to be a lump on a log and tell you how sad I am. We are getting a new lens but not for a while. Okay...Updates...


I just finished watching Lord of the Rings and that was really good. I suggest you see it, the second one does have a lot of war but I don't mind.

I went to the mall  twice in the last week which is surprising. I spent all my money, which is not surprising. I got a vintagey Forever21 Star Wars shirt, a black polka dotted shirt, also Forever21, and a pair of red shoes that look much like vans (Forever21 of course). Basically I spent all my money in Forever21 and the food court. Wow. I'm awesome.

Have you switched to the new blogger? I like it, but I still have to get used to it because I'm not quite adjusted yet. What are your thoughts on it?

We know every tweens favorite thing to talk about is school. Ha. I'm getting A's in everything and doing the best in Math. In case I didn't mention anytime before, I despise math. It was already hard enough and now their adding letters! Just kidding. I'm not quite in algebra and that's the least of my problems.

I literally just got 14 books from the library. I know it's not that amazing, but all of them are at least an inch thick or wider. My bag ripped from carrying them in it. Yeah.

If you get bored of me, I suggest Cluttered Thoughts. She hasn't posted in a while but if you look through her old posts you'll get quite a treat. (I just used the word "quite" two times in one post--win!)

If any of you have an Instagram I would love to add you! My username is barefoot_dreamer and I post there almost daily. If you do decide to check it out, comment and tell me you're from my blog.

Last thing, I am in love with this song.

*all photos belong to me*

Thank you all!

Odd Obsessions

• Taylor Swift

I have an odd obsession with Taylor Swift. It kind of just came upon me. Actually my dear friend Ellie heated my obsession to a boil. (ha, ha) I especially love this video.

And to brighten up the ending of the holiday season, I must tell you the lyrics to the song below are just so meaningful.

We get so caught up in all of it
Business and relationships
Hundred mile an hour lives
And it's this time of year
And everybody's here
It seems the last thing on your mind

Is that the day holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So here's to Jesus Christ who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
But here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more

Even if it's the only Taylor Swift song you ever listen to, I suggest this song. 

• Star Wars

Oh yes, the one and only, Star Wars Saga. I just finished watching it for the first time the other day. Have you seen these? If not, you must. If you have read on.

Oh Anakin.

 That's all I must say for spoiler reasons. In the first three Anakin is my absolute favorite character... Also Obi-Wan, and Yoda, they're awesome.

 For some odd reason Episode III is my favorite. (For those of you who have seen it, understand why that is odd) I loved the whole saga even if Episode IV was not my favorite. I recommend these movies STRONGLY.

 Also, if you plan on watching them, Episode IV is where you need to start. Watch them in this order--Ep. IV, Ep. V, Ep. VI, Ep. I, Ep. II, and Finally Ep. III. Oh and by the way, R2D2 is just cute.

• Percy Jackson

Okay, obviously by this point you can tell I am not a typical tweenager. Everybody needs to love Percy Jackson! No, it's okay if you don't. But really, you should. I really like Percy. Is it odd have a to have a crush on a book character? Annabeth is also pretty cool, she's my second favorite character. My favorite book is the last one. Plus I love Rick Riordan's new series, "The Heroes of Olympus". Have you ever read these? Which is your favorite?

• Mixed-Up Socks

You read it correctly. I wouldn't really call it an obsession, but I don't usually wear matching socks anymore. Sometimes they match somewhat, but other times, they don't match at all. And in this situation we come back to Ellie. She kind of rubs off on me. Oh and by the way, because I couldn't find any pictures of mixed socks, here is a picture of a stuffed polar bear.

• Mustaches

You must be just as nerdy as I am if you've made it up to this point. Mustaches are just amazing. Why? Who knows. But I got my friend these cool mustache, finger tattoos, and she loved them! 

Etsy has a lot of cool mustache merchandise. So if you are a mustache fan, I suggest you go to Etsy. I don't like mustaches on actual people as much as I like those barber shop ones that are quite popular in the tween/teen world.

• Owls

What's with those feathery little guys? They're just too cute. Owls on necklaces, bags, earrings, and shirts! They're everywhere. 

I really don't know the reason for the owl obsessions with all my friends. Everytime one of my friends sees an owl it's like a chorus of "aww". *shrugs* These things just happen.

If you have any obsessions in common with me, I'd love to hear. Do you have any odd obsessions?

Let The Waters Rise

 

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees

So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

...so let's spend, the afternoon in a cold hot air balloon

I love this song by Owl City.
Hot Air Balloon...
I don't know why...But somehow I wish I could just feel the leaves touching my palms. The wind in my hair. This is a pretty random post. But I just wanted to share, that I wish I could...Just like every other Owl City song. Like Fireflies, I wish I could be outside in the night and watching their glow pierce the darkness. Hello Seattle, everything that says, "Hello Seattle I am a *insert thing here*" It just makes you want to be it. This is such a weird post I know...But somehow I like it...And I managed to make a poem on all the songs listed here...Well...Hard to explain but here..

Hello Seattle, I am the crescent moon
and you'll be out of ideas pretty soon
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
Leave my door open just a crack
We wound a race track
I am a manta ray
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
'Cause they'd fill the open air
Through your mom's kitchen chairs


I know odd...But it rhymes! And there ya go! A whole post on Owl City... =P
