A New Philosophy

I was just sitting here listening to my music (what else is new?) and I have come up with a new theory. Life would be so much more interesting if it were a musical. I can honestly create a soundtrack of my life based off of the thousand plus songs I have. Or songs I just heard on the radio. And there are just moments in my life where I think to myself, "Gosh, I could think of three songs that I could sing right now that totally make sense." I think it would be awesome for random people to break into song and choreographed dances at any given moment in time. To me, that would be so amazing. And now, because of this revelation, I have begun creating a new playlist; My Life: The Musical. Unfortunately, it will not be a smash-hit on Broadway, nor will it be released in theaters or music stores. But at least I have it, even if it is just for me.

Can Anyone Help Me...It's getting Harder and Harder to Breathe

Have I mentioned how much I hate being sick? Well, yeah, I really hate it. I have this terrible cold, and now I can't breathe very well out of my nose and it is all raw form blowing my nose today. It isn't going away. My mom is getting tired of me complaining...she says I am being worse than a guy. Which I probably am. But I REALLY hate being sick. REALLY.

On a side note, I am getting a new retainer. My orthodontist agreed that the one I had just wasn't working. Hooray for orthodontics! Not really, but bear with me, my cold is affecting my thinking process...

Always Share the Love...and Don't Forget Your Crayons

Happy Valentine's Day! So, I didn't have a valentine, but that doesn't stop me from having fun. Today this motivational speaker came to Arapahoe. He was incredibly funny. It was good, except for the fact of having to sit on the gym floor, yeah, that wasn't fun at all.

Last night I went to Target and went on a music shopping spree. I bought Paul McCartney's Chaos and Creation in the Backyard, Death Cab for Cutie's Plans, and Train's new album For Me It's You. They are amazing. I had one song of each that was stuck in my head, and I've already listened to each CD at least once. I love the songs "Fine Line" (McCartney), "For Me It's You" (Train), and "Cab" (Train). I had to buy the Death Cab for Cutie CD because of the song "Soul Meets Body," I swear it has been stalking me since Kakos played it in class last semester. I've heard it in Gap, on my favorite TV shows, and I think it was trying to tell me something. So I bought it. It is amazing.

I thought today's picture fit. It is something I created while I was just playing around with Photoshop on my computer. I have a ton of pictures like this that I have made since.

Is it Physically Possible for Snow to be THAT Deep?

Ok, I am a bit ashamed to admit this, but I have never been to the mountains in the winter. Nor have I ever been skiing. And, yes, in fact, I was born and raised in Colorado. It must be some kind of a sin or something. So, I finally made it into the mountains during the winter. I went on a Student Council retreat to Fraser, it was Trischool which meant that it was the Student Councils of Arapahoe, Heritage, and Littleton, having a conference type thing about how we could make things better in our schools. I had a blast, but even now, I am beyond exhausted. It didn't help any that I had to make up a killer history test and the other classes I missed on Friday.

Well, anyway, I have never seen so much snow in my life. It was crazy, the snow covered stop signs and everything! Above is one picture I took up at Snow Mountain Ranch, and here is another I took from the bus on the way back. I just wonder how the heck people can get on top of a mountain to go back country skiing. It makes no sense!

Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

I think that title just about sums up my day.

1. I am coming down with a cold or something. Curse being locked up in school, passing around germs all day long! And it isn't very pretty when I get sick...just ask anybody in my family or my friends, they'll tell you to beware.
2. My retainer hurt. Ok, it may not seem like much, but I couldn't focus in Math today. I couldn't take it out because my case was in my locker. It didn't help that I am having issues with what we are learning, either. And I have a homework check tomorrow.
3. The Dad factor. It isn't a ton of fun right now.
4. History test on Friday. Enough said.
5. My sister has been in a terrible mood lately. She hasn't been the easiest person to deal with the last few days.
6. No magazine as of yet.

But, at least Kakos' class was fun. And Friday I go on a Student Council Retreat in Fraser. Whoo-hoo!
