April Blogging

So I haven't blogged regularly this month for which I apologize. I've had my state testing and family stuff but May is when my life calms down so I will blog more regularly.
My state testing went well. I actually have my last test tomorrow and then my algebra final is on May 24.
So that's basically what this blog is. An apology and a prediction

The Beatles and One Direction

I am absolutely IN LOVE with the Beatles. They've always been my favorite band and they always will be. That's just one of the many truths of life. The sky is blue, brothers are annoying. I love the Beatles. My favorite is George. That being said, I quite like One Direction. 

I know that some people are comparing them. I don't like to compare bands because each band is different. They all have their own thing. One Direction is a boy GROUP. The Beatles are a boy BAND. They aren't comparable. When they play their music, One Direction do not play instruments. The Beatles played instruments while playing. And for any one in my generation who does not know about the Beatles (which is far too many than I'd prefer) One Direction is kind of like their Beatles. I'm not saying that One Direction are the Beatles, but they do have some similarities.

1. They're both British. Yeah I know that Niall is Irish, but it's just one member of the band

2. They both seem to have a very strong hold on teenage girls from their era. 

3. In their time, they're attractive and young.

So I don't have a problem being a One Direction fan. I like their music and I am a teenage girl so it's a pretty good deal. Of course, no one could ever beat the Beatles. The Beatles will always be number one. Always and Forever. Through the Long and Winding Road.

Babysitting and Life Changes

It is stressful. That's how I describe that job. I'm not going to argue that it's a harder job than anyone elses because I know it isn't, but I guess one of the benefits of an office job is the lack of crying children.
I enjoy babysitting because I enjoy kids. I feel like babysitting is kind if building up my hopes if ever being a mom though. I'll just remember all of the times I did the same work but for money and realize that my life had changed so much from that point. I'm not a big fan of change either. I hate it. I hate it a lot. Sometimes it's necessary though. Like I'd rather be myself now than who I was two years ago. Two years ago, I was self-concious, naive and I didn't have writing or nerdfighteria or starkid to get me through things. I'm glad that I've changed that much. But bigger change sucks. Like moving or death. We all have to get through it though I guess.

Libraries are the Coolest

Have you ever just sat in a library by yourself? It's the best. You just sit there and read or think. It's so calming. Sure, it's nice to be with your friends, but everyone needs some quiet time. I like to have my quiet time in the library. (As you probably know by this point...)
I find books very relaxing. I like how old books smell and I like the sound of turning pages and I like having a book in my hands. I have my opinions on the Kindle. I don't care how people read, I care IF they read. Kindles work for some people just not for me.
What do you guys think about kindles and books? What are some of your favorite books?

Pottermore

I don't know how many of you are Harry Potter fans, but I absolutely LOVE the series. J.K Rowling, the series creator made a website over the summer called Pottermore that is basically like going to Hogwarts online and it opened to the public this weekend.
I am FlameAsh29734 and I am in Ravenclaw. It's so exciting to go to Hogwarts and I really recommend the site.

Starkid

I don't know if any of you have seen the Very Potter Musicals or Starship or Me and My Dick (it's a good musical I swear) but they are all made by Starkid. They are a wonderful theatre group and last month the premiered their musical Holy Musical B@man!. If any of you guys watch Glee you'll recognize Darren Criss (Blaine). He plays Harry in the Harry Potter parodies and he wrote the songs for the other musicals.
Their new musical premieres on YouTube tonight at 9:00 eastern time. I hope you guys will watch it. I expect it o be nothing less than totally awesome.

Vacation

I went on vacation this week. That was fun. My family was in Frankenmuth, Michigan from Thursday to Sunday and we got home last night around 10. All of us were in one hotel room. I love my family, but when I have to live in a hotel room with them for 4 days, it is not exactly my idea of a comfortable situation.

Easter was fun. Bubba Watson won the Masters (Golf) The Detroit Tiger's beat the Boston Red Socks, I got to play Sorry with my cousin and then I got to see my baby cousin who is almost a year old. I feel like Easter is a time that you should spend with family of friends or people you care about. I mean if you don't, who else is going to accuse you of cheating when you win Sorry or teach you how to say "high five" in Italian? I hope you all had a great Easter.

Frenemies

I guess we all have that one person in your life where you aren't sure where you stand with them. Like one moment, you're laughing with them and then two class periods later you want to punch them in the face. It's weird isn't it? Sometimes the other person seems so comfortable with all of it that you aren't sure whether they know the exact status of friend or enemy and it makes you feel out of the loop. Or does that only happen to me?

I had an awkward moment today where they actually pointed out that we were frenemies, which disturbed me. They aren't supposed to know what goes on in my mind. But apparently, life and humanity go on whether I am apart of it or not. It was weird for me because even though they knew that we were frenemies, they seemed totally comfortable with it. I'm not used to frenemie like relationships. It's either one or the other with me. That's why this is so weird because someone can be so comfortable with something that annoys the crap out of me.

Godiva Day

Happy April Fools Day! I've never really been able to celebrate April Fools Day. My parents wedding anniversary is April 1st, so I really can't play pranks on them or I'll feel really guilty. They gave me existence and what do I give them? Toothpaste Oreos. That's a good prank. You guys can use that if you want.
What I really want to talk about today is Alex Day. Last Christmas he released a song called Forever Yours which made it to number 4 in the UK charts. The amazing thing about this is that Alex doesn't have a record label. And he wants to do it again. His new song is called Lady Godiva and it's brilliant. Before you ask, no the girl in the video is not actually naked. It's a flesh colored leotard. The song is available on iTunes staring today.  I suggest that you go buy it because if he makes it onto the charts again, the internet could be taken more seriously as a community. We have the power to show record companies that they are not needed, which makes them scared.
So if you would like to buy the song, it's only one iTunes search away. You could also start watching Alex's videos on YouTube. His username is nerimon. He's really funny and sarcastic so if you like that kind of stuff then you should totally follow him.
