Subject 10

The cover for Subject 10
(c) Me
Yeah... I've been working on a story (that will hopefully become a book later) and I decided I needed a cover for it. And so, while I'm not half-watching... Hold on, lemme ask what we're watching here... Okay, it's the Republican National Convention or something like that. Anyway, using GIMP and picmonkey.com, I created this cover for my book-in-progress, "Subject 10". So, while I'm at it, I'm gonna do some self-promotion and tell you that you can read what I have so far either on Figment.com or on Google Docs, using the links provided below. I hope you enojoy it!!

I fail at keeping this blog updated

Sorry!

Okay well for starters, in music-related news, both "Draw the Line" (Disciple) and "New Horizons" (Flyleaf) are released as singles on iTunes! "Draw the Line" is $.99, and "New Horizons" is $1.29, but they're both worth every penny :D I just absolutely love them both!

Moving along from that, I had my friends Libby and Emily over yesterday to hang out. I guess maybe as a nice way to end the summer. :( So sad about it ending... but oh well. Anyway, we did a lot of talking. We also went and saw Brave at a movie theatre near my house, and that was pretty fun. Oh, and we drank Mountain Dew floats. Like a root beer float, but with MD (technically they were Libby's idea). It was DELICOUS!!! And I only made a mess ONCE! New record!

And then last night we went to youth group and I had a near miss with the edge of the barn. We were playing capture the flag and I was running past the barn and there was a small slope there. I reached out to tag someone, then I lost my footing, and started sliding down the slope. And there's part of the barn (which is made up metal) that sticks out over the slope so I basically BARELY avoided cutting my forehead on the metal and sending myself to the ER. That would NOT have been fun. But I got out okay, minus one grass stain and I had the wind knocked out of me. But I'm okay :)

Anyways, that's about all for news! Hopefully I'll blog again soon!

More Line Drawing

Found another (better?) YouTube video for the supposed "radio version" of Disciple's "Draw the Line". So um... I thought some people might like to look at it.

"Draw the Line" (radio version)

This is just my thought, but I have a feeling this isn't the final version of the song. Maybe it's just me, but it sounds a littl too... I dunno, but it doesn't seem totally finished yet. Maybe a demo version?
Well anyway, here's that. Enjoy the awesome music!

Figment Feature

GUESS WHAT!
Haha, yeah, one of my stories, "The Stupid Dress", made it onto the Figment's front page! No lie!!


Sorry, I'm being a little overreactive. But it's so cool! Anyway, if you'd like, you can read it on Figment, or I also have a link to a Google Doc if that's more your style.

Moving away from that, I also read something on GamesRadar today about video game charactes competing in the Olympics, so you can read that right here.

And that's all for now!

Ohio Trip

Top Thrill Dragster
Okay, the only real reason I'm writing this now is cause I got this new Blogger app and I'm trying it out. So there.
Anyway, this past weekend my family and I went to Ohio for... Four days. We got there LATE Friday night. Saturday, we went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame/Museum, which was fun (except for te fact that I'm musically challenged and it didn't make a whole lot of sense but oh well). I got some really nice earrings there too. On Sunday, we went to this Science museum that was pretty much right next door to the Hall of Fame. And then Sunday evening, we drove to Sandusky and went to Cedar Point Sunday night, all of Monday and a good part of Tuesday. We got home right around midnight on Tuesday. So yeah, that's my trip!
There are more pictures after the jump!
Oh yes, and while I'm here, I think I should point out that Flyleaf's new single "New Horizons" is going to be released Tuesday, August 21! Yay!

Draw The Line & New Horizons

Guess who found a new Disciple song? ME!
Yeah, so that's what happens when you browse YouTube for live Diciple videos. You come across videos of them performing new songs from their new album, "O God Save Us All". This song is called "Draw The Line". Honestly, I've heard better Disciple songs, and this song really didn't get my as hyped up for their new album like "New Horizons" did for Flyleaf. But, eiher way, it's still worth checking out. Hey, it's Disciple. you know you want to look at it :)
Draw The Line

And this is weird, cause as I'm writing this, my friend Zach texted me a link to where you can listen to Flyleaf's "New Horizons", and it's not live. Like, recorded. In a studio. Bonus!
And here's the link for that:
New Horizons
Just to clear things up, this is NOT YouTube. So you'll click the play button next to Flyleaf.
The End.
