The tree is up!

Yes! It's finally the Christmas season!! Christmas is absoulutely my favorite holiday! I just love everything about it! So, naturally, I'm one of the people that starts decorating Thanksgiving weekend. I already have a tree up with lights and everything. It's a really small, fake tree though. My current living situation will not allow the normal height of a tree. But all the same, it's a tree!!!

That's all for now.
Peace

Concert!!

Hello again!!

Okay. That Kelly Clarkson concert was the best in the world! I loved it!! I didn't recognize the name of the guy who opened for her, but he was good also. (He had some wicked good skills on the piano) Unfortunately, the pictures I said I would put up will not be available. They didn't really turn out..so I don't think I should put them up.

So, we got to the concert after struggling to find a parking place and found out that they weren't letting anybody in until 7:00. We had a half hour to kill, so we admired the theater we were in. Thankfully, they let us in early! So we sat in the crowded theater seats (which were comfortable) and waited for another half hour for the concert to start. At exactly 7:30 the lights dimmed and the music started!! Yay! Like I said, we had never heard of the person who opened for her, but he was good. We ended up buying his cd. After he ended his last song, the lights came back on and we waited while they set everything up for Kelly. Oh my goodness, her opening was amazing! If you have seen the front of the cover, she had those same stairs on the stage and was sitting on them. Her band-mates were all posed in various positions on the stage. And then strobe lights went off (I'm not very fond of them, but I was fine with it this time) and the music started. The cheering from the crowd was so loud! Although, I must say, I was contributing to the noise. I was happy that she sang songs from her two most recent cd's: Breakaway and My December.

After the concert was over, my feet were tired from standing for two hours straight, and my throat was aching from cheering and singing so much. But it was completely worth it. ^^ If you ever have a chance to go to her concert, go. I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself! I know I did!

Music music and more music

You guessed it, this post is about music. ^^ I could talk about music (and books) forever. So, I just found this new song called Near To You by A Fine Frenzy. It's such a good song!! If you haven't heard it, I suggest you go listen to it. So, in most songs, I can find a relation to one of the books in the Twilight series (That's what happens when you are as big of a fan as I am) and this one strongly reminds me of New Moon.

More newly-discovered completely-and-totally-awesome songs: Love Like Winter by AFI, Your Guardian Angel by The Red Jumpsuit Aparatus, Breath by Breaking Benjamin, Here In Your Arms by Hellogoodbye.

So, since I'm talking about music, I might as well say this. I'm totally excited because tomorrow I get to go to a Kelly Clarkson concert!! Yay!! *jumps up and down* I love her music! Her song, Haunted, reminds me of New Moon. (I told you any song reminds me of one of the books. ^^) So, I'll try and get some good pics to put on this blog. Have a good week everyone!! Peace.

Artist?

Yeah. So, there is a little thing of sketches I did. I don't know how clear that shows up, but *shrugs* I tried to show you, against my better judgement. I don't think I'm too good with art, although I am fond of these drawings. Anyway, if they aren't art, at least you can get a good laugh out of looking at them. ^^ Peace.

Twilight series

Okay, if you haven't read this series, you are missing out on a lot. This series is written by Stephenie Meyer. (Stephenie is a really amazing author!) There are currently three books in the series, but she's working on a fourth. The series starts with Twilight. The second book is New Moon and the third is Eclipse. They are amazing books. They tell the story of a vampire named Edward Cullen and a human named Isabella (Bella) Swan. I can't really say too much about the series though, because I don't want to spoil it for anyone. Anyways, the series is, like I said before, absolutely amazing. I was sucked in after the first chapter. Each of the books has an amazing (I like that word. ^^) plot and makes the book impossible to put down. So, I suggest you go to the nearest book store (or a library if you're out of money.) and get it. You won't be disappointed. (Or maybe you will. I don't want to lie. It could go either way.)

Yeah, so I just thought that I would share that little bit of info with you. ^^ Like you really care though. Oh well. So, that's all I wanted to say at the moment. Sorry for the lack of posts.

Music

Besides writing, there are two things I enjoy doing just as much. One of these things is listening to music. (The other is reading) Listening to music is way easier than writing..so I tend to do this activity more. And, it distracts me just as much as writing does. I've taken to carrying around a piece of paper with me, and every time someone recommends a song or I get in to a discussion about music, I write down band names and songs. Then, I'll go on to project playlist (an awesome site for music) and listen to all the songs. Already, my piece of paper is filling up. And now, you get to hear about some of my favorite songs/bands. ^^

Favorite bands: Jimmy Eat World. Collective Soul (thanks to stephenie meyer for putting them on the playlist. I would have never heard of them if you didn't do that!) Linkin Park. Muse. Evanscence. And that's only to name a few. ^^

Some of my favorite songs: December by Collective Soul. Vampire Heart by HIM. A Place For My Head by Linkin Park. I Miss You by Blink 182. Sweetness by Jimmy Eat World. Why Does It Always Rain On Me by Travis.

Alright..so that's it for this post...feel free to leave comments about your favorite bands/songs!! Bye!
