Flip-flop tan

I have this lightest flip flop tan...yet I'm so proud of it.

Ends of floss

I have this problem when I reach the end of floss- I'm scared that I'm going to pull out this piece, then there's going to be a tiny little end, so I keep pulling.....and pulling....and pulling...until I have a huge long piece and there's still floss inside the thingie.

Fluoride rinse

Andd.....in some non-bassoon news...

I'm always so scared when pouring fluoride rinse into my mouth that my swallowing reflexes will kick in and I'll just swallow the mouthful.

From the Archives of Happy Little Thoughts: Facewash is Unmotivating

Everybody has that one container of stuff that they keep refilling. At my house, it's face wash. No matter how hard I try, I get the bottle half empty then it's full again. #gaak. Facewash is unmotivating. On the plus side, at least I have all-you-can-use facewash!! :P

It's always nice

to have someone appreciate your music, even when you sound like a dying baby elephant.

#playingbassoon

How ironic

the easiest note to play on flute is the hardest one (for me) on the bassoon (with my repertoire of about 7 1/2 notes that I can play).

Got a bassoon

and am being overly obnoxious about it.

Dear teacher who gives out candy every class,

I love you...but you're wreaking havoc on my New Year's Resolutions.

My (nonserious) thoughts.....about LGBT

I don't particularly care about what you believe in...I do have a view on that, but I'm not going to put it on the internet for everyone to criticize. The only thing I have to say, is.....I'm kind of mad now that I can't wear rainbow scarves/hats/etc without appearing to support LGBT-ness.

Ations
by Shel Silverstein


If we meet and I say, 'Hi,'
That's a salutation.
If you ask me how I feel,
That's a consideration.
If we stop and talk a while,
That's a conversation.
If we understand each other,
That's a communication.
If we argue, scream and fight,
That's an altercation.
If later we apoligize,
That's reconciliation.
If we help each other home,
That's a cooperation.
And all these actions added up
Make Civilization.
(And if I say this is a wonderful poem,
Is that exaggeration?)

Saw the word "Ation" and thought, "They spelled it wrong. It should be Anion or Cation not Ation".

Doing this Founders quiz

about how much you're like each founding father.
http://constitutioncenter.org/foundersquiz/
The founders are just staring at you while you do it, and blinking. It's completely unnerving.

My websites

5th "blog" is up! It's not a real blog, but it's a Tumblr.

1. My first inklings of internet posting. It has already been deleted, due to lack of suitable material, and my lack of internet usage at the time.
2. My "official" website, lying dormant for the time being, but it shall be resurrected before 2017, hopefully by next summer. http://rockandminerals4him.weebly.com/
3. My official and active blog. I post here every Friday, and it includes new year’s resolutions, funny posts, recipes, and more! https://rockandminerals4him.wordpress.com/
4. This blog! Just random thoughts that don't really go anywhere except social media outlets such as Twitter and Google Plus, both of which I'm not too thrilled about.posting about my life on, even though I well know that this is way less private than either of those sites. http://rockandminerals4him.blogspot.com/
5. My tumblr. At this current moment, I'm only looking up pretty Christian edited photos to reblog, and to post my own edited photos...and a few others, but it may well start to get interesting soon! http://rockandminerals4him.tumblr.com/

Dear band director,

I LOVE you for choosing for us to play The Sound of Music. However, if I go around incessantly singing parts of the Sound of Music, please feel free to slap me or to tell me to shut up.

1st SciOly meeting

Since it was such a momentous meeting for me (hah!)...I shall attempt to provide to my faithful readers (double hah!) with a recap, which I'm sure they are interested in (triple hah!)

P.S. They are not in any particular order....just as I think of them.

• Favorite event of last year? Um.....daren't say none.....I say (with much arm waving, because that's how I am), "Rocks....and shall always be rocks." (Have you noticed that by now? Haha)
• I can't stand first SciOly meetings....there's always so many new people.....I feel like they're somehow invading my space, my team....ugh....but thank heavens this year I know most of the new people...and so it's way less intimidating. Also THANK YOU Mr./Mrs. C for using the big room, so I don't have to see all those new people.
• Ugh I like to talk about SciOly entirely too much for my own good. I may have scared people away....eesh.
• If you don't want to bring my wrath upon yourself, DON'T MESS WITH MY MACHINE!!!
• More talking about SciOly. I realize I talk too much.....but ugh. ew.
• I know so many people! Wow.
• I guess it wasn't wise to have worn long sleeves to a small building with 40+ people...hot!
• Moving my device out. Yus. Don't ruin it peoples.

If you're totally confused as to what on earth SciOly is, check out my blogpost here. (Watch out...it's long....I TOLD you I talk about SciOly too much. Ugh.

Thanks for bearing with me!

That's the life

Biology out on the deck with 65 degree sunny weather. Yummy.

#yayforhomeschooling

Yummy

Omelette with my own tomatoes. Yumm.

1st day of Biology class

Professor (who looks somewhat like Einstein in a pink shirt and yellow tie)- "I have something interesting to show you." *Digs in pot of dirt with fingers and holds up two squirming earthworms.* *Evil laugh*...."Why are these alive?" "The second question is, Are there some paper towels to wipe my fingers on".

Well....that certainly was interesting..........

CJAP quote

About an observation- "Think something that nobody has thought yet, while looking at something everybody sees." ~Arnold Schopenhauer

Reading old blogposts

hangouts, tweets, and texts and admiring how witty I was.

Audition

Haven't practiced over the summer
No particular experience choosing audition pieces
No private teacher to help teach
Can't ask band teacher since s/he's the one auditioning me
Wants to get into a higher level band
Chose piece I didn't like
Changed piece 2 hours before audition
Auditioning done by person I really don't want to fail in front of
Totally botched rhythm of my solo during audition
Also totally botched chromatic scale
Wonder how I did.




===============
Is this poetry? It certainly looks like poetry.....am I a poet? This wasn't even intentional.....

Somehow, saying "lol"

Like literally saying "lowle" (IDK, for lack of pronunciation guide, XD), is so awkward yet cool to say.

AAUGH #2 (From the archives of Happy Little Thoughts)

My grandma's shower only has boiling water and freezing water. Everytime I take a shower there, I either get scalded or frozen.

Marinara Sauce

I've been pronouncing Marinara Sauce "Marinana Sauce" ALL. MY. LIFE.

Things you should never say #1

At Costco in the bakery department to the baker lady concerning fresh baked muffins on a cart in the back, "Can I steal one?" (Trust me, I wan't quite thinking, and I never had any bad intentions.....) Learned that the hard way.

Texting #1

Texting my band director about music stuff. 

Mentioned I was interested in playing bassoon (y'know, for a more unique instrument for colleges and stuffs)

Immediate reply, "We have a bassoon you could try".

Wowzee. Too fast for my comfort. XD

The advantage of knowing all 12 major scales

Music Teacher: Let's begin warming up with a scale. What major scale would y'all like to play?

Me: B major! (Which has 5 sharps and is virtually one of the hardest scales to play)

Everyone: *looks at me weird*

Other Music Teacher: So flute....

AAUGH #1

Whenever I have a streak of getting up early, we always go on vacation and ruin the whole thing.
