Welcome! ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Welcome to my little Den! Here you'll find all sorts of things- mostly blog challenges, but mixed in, you'll notice: I'm a bit of a fangirl My life is very busy I enjoy using emoticons I don't tend to swear, but stuff happens. |
resurrection day 1: "Valerie"- Amy Winehouse Cover: Glee (concert version) Honestly? It just makes me happy. It was the song we used for my first (and last) year of tap team. It was something I did- not something from Mom. I used my tutoring money to pay for the team- and while I didn't get to compete, I got to perform it with the team during the year-end show at the theatre. I have video of the performance (which I can still do), but it's not going up anywhere, sorry. Mainly because it's in two parts and I don't really want to make it into one. And because I'd rather not put myself up there on the internet like that. [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] and I just found this version (which is also pretty cool): [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] |
Describe three sounds that are important to you, and one sound that drives you absolutely nuts. Or, answer this the other way around, if that suits you. Three important sounds- my family's voices, my friend's voices, and piano music. one that drives me absolutely nuts? pen clicking. click click click click.... How do you contrast a physical touch versus an emotional touch? Do you feel that one is any more of the five senses than the other? I've never been a touchy person. Both physically and emotionally. I'm quiet. I don't like being touched, and and I don't like emotional stuff. I'm growing out of the emotional touch thing now, but it still takes me a bit to accept those emotional touches. As for one being more of a sense than the other- I always thought the physical touch was the sense- never actually thought about the emotional touch- though when I think harder, Hi-5 did mention it... "I can feel when you're near me" So in retrospect, I've never considered the emotional touch a "sense"- though it could be a "sixth sense" now that I think of it. I'll have to think more. |
Questions about life, eh? Here goes my thoughts (or questions!) 1 What is life? 2 Why are we here? 3 Are we here? (I'm currently taking philosophy, so yeah) 4 Where does our money end up? 5 Am I really seeing what I'm seeing? 6 Does anyone else see what I see? |
Children are often scolded "You see with your eyes, not with your hands!" Why do you think it's important that we see with more than just our eyes? Honestly? I have NEVER heard of that one before. the most common scolding sis and I would get as kids was "kids are to be seen, not to be heard." ANYWAYS. Back to the prompt.. Looks can be deceiving. So can names. Like Chicken Feet. it's delicious once you try it (eat it), but the looks and the name are very deterring. So, my final declaration about this: Keep an open mind about everything! |

A (mostly Australian) song list. I usually tell people I don't listen to music. And in the traditional sense, I don't really listen to music. I'm not that into current pop stuff.

Toothless and the Minion. Named Kevin. Kevin the Minion. |
Today was the last day of the mentorship program for this year. It was very emotional, actually. Lots of hugging and "Thank you"s. I felt very happy I was able to prepare my mentees better for college, and they were also happy they got so much out of the program. Thursday night, I got maybe 1-2 hours of sleep because we didn't finish prepping for today until 3-4 am. And then there was still a shower and travel time back to my dorm... I also ended up doing very last-minute work in the morning- having completely forgotten there was a peer edit due. I'm exhausted. And sleep deprived. Very much so. Good night. |
War Chest Wednesday! Do you have a lucky number, and if so, why is it special to you? If you don't have a lucky number, is there a trinket or similar object that carries a special lucky significance for you? I have 2 "lucky" numbers. One of them, I created in elementary school- during my Hi-5 crazy phase. In short, I was crazy about Charli- everything she did or liked, I wanted to do/like, too. And hence lucky number #1 was born. Lucky number #2 came in 8th grade I think. If not 8th grade, then some time in middle school when I started exposing myself to more pop music. I really liked a certain artist, and had a crazy-phase for her too. I'm not gonna say what the numbers are, just because I tack them on to the back of most of my school passwords. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Check out my C-notes and auction: "Invalid Item" "Invalid Item" "Invalid Item" |
