Valentine's Day Songs for the Single and the Not-Single

(Okay, I didn't know what I was supposed to say there. Honestly, "Not-Single" was the best I could think of)

Ladies and gentleman, it is that time of year again! The time when flower and chocolate sales go up really high, when everything thing turns pink, and when you can't turn around without seeing something heart-shaped. Yes, I'm talking about Valentine's Day, a holiday with the sole purose of celebrating love.

Alright, full disclosure - I've never really cared for Valentine's Day. And before you write me off as a bitter teenage girl, let me explain. Usually, I just kinda saw it as an excuse to get free candy from V-Day card exchanges with my friends (of course, most of it was just bland lollipops and Fun Dip). I'm kind of too old for that now though, so this lovely holiday (pun not intended) has become pretty useless to me.

Also, I can't stand people who write stuff like "Happy Singles Day. #foreveralone"

Anyways, the point of this post was not to talk about Valentine's Day and what I think about it. The point is, I've compiled a list of songs for you to listen to this Valentine's Day, whether you're single, married, in a relationship, whatever. I'm compiled this list from my own resources (like the CD rack next to my computer).

And, as a fair warning, there are duplicate artists (for example, Flyleaf shows up once on both lists).

Happy (Belated) New Year!

Yes yes, I know I'm a little late to the party here, but it's only the third! I'm just a few days late. Anyway, happy new year, readers! Now that Christmas is over, I'm back to my regular posting schedule (hopefully). Christmas break made me a little bit lazy, but last week I was on vacation with my family, so I didn't have the time then. All excuses aside, I'm back now, and that's what matters.

I guess I'll start by saying my Christmas vacation was great! Actually, I officially go back to school on Tuesday, so it isn't over yet, but you get the idea. Once our break started, my family left for a house a few hours away. We stayed there and celebrated Christmas with my grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousins, which was really nice. It snowed a few times while we were there, as you can see from the photo (my brother took that picture, by the way). The day after Christmas, we left to drive home before the roads got too bad. The place we were staying at was a bit off the beaten path, which meant the roads didn't get plowed as often. We made it home safely though!

Merry Christmas!

Hey everyone! I'm taking the week off for Christmas, so I won't be posting again until the new year. Have a merry Christmas everyone, and happy New Year!

P.S. Here's a recording of me playing "Silent Night" on my ocarina. Enjoy!

Happy Fourth Of July!

Or whatever you prefer to call it :)
I made some midget cupcakes to celebrate today, so I thought I'd share some pics since they're JUST SO CUTE!
Yeah, they're so adorable and tiny :)

Other than that, not much ahs been going on around here. I finally went and bought myself a new GameCube with the giftcard my friend Libby gave me for my birthday. I love it! I couldn't get the skin off of the old one (my old GC has a Super Smash Bros. skin on it), but I still like it. Plus, I finally got MarioKart Double Dash to work too!
Still waiting for Flyleaf to release "New Horizons". AHHHH I WANT IT NOW! It may just hold me over until Skillet's new release in the fall or whenever it is. Oh, Disciple's supposed ot be releasing something new this year, too! I believe it's going to be called "O God Save Us All", but I'm not 100% sure.
Anyways, that's all I really have to say! Happy Fourth of July to everyone!
