I recently discovered some things that make me happy:
-Katy Perry has this song called "E.T." It has great lyrics and a kickin' beat.
-The movie "Cabaret" is phenomenal. If you haven't seen it, check it out. The storyline is amazing, the contrasts of lives are depicted so well, and the musical numbers are actually splendid. I love it.
-Just Dance 2 for the Wii. Extremely addicting. I've played it over 6 hours in 3 days. I'm pretty sure that's not healthy. Or is it? I do feel sore after playing for a couple hours, not to mention the perspiration that I expire. (Is that the right phrase? I'm too tired to try something else. I like the way I said it.)
-My friends. Oh, what would I do without them. Monday, I went sledding with two of them. I felt like a little kid again. It felt good to let out screams and to feel the rush of the cold winter wind upon my face. Today I watched "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and played Just Dance 2 with some more of my friends. I love how I can act like a child one day and the next day I act like a teenager. Watch out! Tomorrow, I might be an adult. =]
-My family. Oh, what would I do without them. I love that my dad and I can watch hours of Match Game together. What a show that was. Charles Neilson Reily is a masterpiece himself. I love that my mom and I can watch cheesey movies together and not feel bad about wasting 2 hours of our lives, because to us, time spent together is not wasted. (The rest of my family is great too. But that would take hours to write about.)
-The Internet. I have to admit that I enjoy technology. While I may not always like the way people get so attached to it, I will say that it has helped me so much. For instance, I know how 3 pen pals in Spain, 1 in Germany, and 1 in Uganda. I have many friends on facebook, which is a superb way of connecting with people. I recently reconnected with some friends from elementary school.
-Adjectives. Yes, they are awesome. I tend to use the same plain old ones deliberately, without any thought. But tonight, I feel like using a variety. I think diction is very important. I want to keep my blog interesting, even if the total number of readers equals me.
I hope that everyone has had some happy holidays and that this new year will bring joy to all of you. May God bless you.
Love always,
Arianna

Author = Reader?
So, I'm pretty sure that all my readers have stopped reading my blog. I hope I haven't bored everyone.=[ Even if all my readers have vanished into oblivion, I will still continue to keep writing. It's cathardic for me and just in case I ever do anything spectacular (doubtful), there will be some document that will have recorded that little moment in history. Until then, I'll just write my thoughts and what I've been up to in the past week.
On Thursday, my friend Dinah and I baked 158 cookies in 3 hours. I call that a feat! We frosted and put on sprinkles on them too. The cookies have been sitting in my house, tempting me ever since I lifted the first batch out of the oven. Actually, the dough started tempting me as soon as we laid it out. The cookies will be leaving the house with me tomorrow as I make my way to school. I really hope the children appreciate all that work, dang it. =P
On Saturday, I recieved two books from a family friend. The one I started reading on Sunday is called "Against All Odds." It's the first in a series titled, "Heroes of Quantico." It's a romantic suspense novel, which is definitely not the type of book I normally read, but it's still good. Since I really don't have much else to do, this book has been a blessing. Plus, it has Christian themes in it, which are always a plus for me. I don't want to give away any more information about the book because it would probably ruin most of the story.
Yesterday, I was volunteered at my local hospital. On a trip from the bathroom to the station where I work, I spotted this really gorgeous looking book on a shelf. There wasn't anyone waiting to be helped, so I picked up the book and took it to my desk. It had a hard cover on it and I could see that it was written by one of my favorite Christian authors, Max Lucado. MY GOODNESS were the pictures beautiful. And let me tell you, that man has a way with words. The whole book was dedicated to Jesus. In it, there were pictures of waterfalls, landscapes, and my personal favorite, one of sunshine rays streaming down through clouds. Here's a saying that literally struck me to tears (as I was working! Max! I need to pay attention!): "On the eve of the cross, Jesus made his decision. He would rather go through hell for you then go to Heaven without you." What a wonderous thing to say. It's totally true though. Man, I wish I could come up with sayings like that!
Well, there isn't much else to mention. I'll save you the boring details. =]
Thank you for taking time out of your day (or night) to read my blog.
I truly appreciate it.

Whimsical Notes
Dear reader(s),
Today I thought I would try a letter format. I might be keeping it in later posts, but you'll have to let me know what you prefer. I want to make sure that this is in the best format possible, as to ensure that you come back to read. =] I know that my last post was a tad bit too long, so I'll try to appease you with a shorter note.
Currently, it is freezing cold outside. No, I don't know if it's really 32 degrees F or below, but guess what? I like slang. It doesn't involve a lot of thinking, which can also be a bad thing. I love the snow today. I just woke up and decided that I was going to love it. I haven't really been in the Christmas spirit this year, but over the weekend, I think I changed. =P
*INTERESTING PART* On friday, I took my Spanish exam at the university where I take some courses. I freaked out in the middle of the test because there was a whole section that I didn't understand or recognize. Well, it turns out that my professor had accidentally put that section on the exam, even though we won't cover it until the spring semester. So that eases my mind a bit. BUT, the interesting thing happened after the exam. As I was making my way toward a door that lead outside, I fell down about half a flight of stairs. It hurt like no tomorrow. The whole building was super quiet until I had to ruin it with my fall. I ran like the wind (Bullseye!) out of there. I really hope that nobody saw me. Yes, I did reference Toy Story. I'm that cool. =P
On a different note, since it's the season of giving, I'd like to tell you all about a charity called Invisible Children. Wow, do they do wonders. They help children who have become child soldiers. Can you imagine being kidnapped in the middle of the night by people you don't know and then forced to become a soldier...all at the age of 7? I can't. I'm so glad I can't. You know, we're all told that we've been blessed a million times over, but when do we really stop and listen to what people are saying? We have been blessed, it's true, but the whole reason we've been blessed (at least I think so) is so that we can give to those who haven't been given what we have. If you'd like to learn more about the organization, donate, buy merch, watch videos, or sign up to volunteer, go to invisiblechildren.com. =]
I'M EXCITED for the 21st. Well, I'm excited for Christmas too, but that's not what I'm getting at. I'm president of the branch of National Honor Society at my school, and on the 21st, we're going to be showing the movie "Elf." I LOVE THAT MOVIE. It's so funny! Plus, we all know that it has a great message. Not to mention the fact that it leaves me feeling all hopeful and warm inside after I watch it. Does this mean I'm addicted to "Elf?" Who knows? Who cares???? I just want to watch it! Speaking of addictions, my facebook addiction is dwindling, which is a good sign. Not that I don't use it, but I don't rely on it as much any more.
Well, I promised I'd keep it short, so as not to bore you.
Sincerely, you friend, forever (if you want), with love and all that good stuff,
Arianna

Weekend Update
It's almost been a week since my last post, so I thought I'd update again. I don't want to update too often; not only do I not have that much to say, but I don't want to appear to be full of myself.
-Alright. So, last night, I finished the book "Revolutionary Road." BOY was it good. It made me kind of mad, but it worked well with the storyline. (Is storyline one or two words? I'm not sure.)
Luckily, I had requested the movie from the local library about a week or so ago, so now it's in. I can't wait to watch the movie and see if it's as good as the book. The library also felt like dumping 5 other movies on me, so this should be a fun week, if I can get them all watched. Some of the other movies that I borrowed are Taking Woodstock, Good Will Hunting, Psycho, The Hurt Locker, and Julie & Julia. Currently, I'm reading "Julie and Julia." It's alright so far. I'm hoping it gets better as it goes on. I have a feeling like I'm going to like it better in film format though.
-On Wednesday, I went to a gathering at a family friend's church (The Chapel.) I attended the concert/performance/play thingie with my mother, her mom, and a couple family friends. Before we actually got to the church, we stopped at Ruby Tuesday for a bite to eat. My grandma had two cups of this drink called "Comfort in a Cup." Basically, it's coffee and alcohol. I had some veggie burgers and a salad (which I put too much blue cheese on. It was my fault that it tasted not-so-great.) Anyway, the performance at The Chapel was really good. There were so many amazing singers there, it was kinda ridiculous. haha There was this cute guitar player who ended up walking by me and talking to one of the family friends I went with, but I'm like 99% sure he has a girlfriend, which makes sense. After the performance, my grandma (the lady who had the coffee and alcohol) came up to me to chat. There was this waiter guy who was kinda beefy, strong, and tall, and he had his hands clasped in front of himself. She nodded in his direction and said something along the lines of, "Doesn't he look like a Chip-N-Dales dancer?" At this point, I giggled, just thinking that she was joking...I mean, he did look like one. Then my grandma said, "What? I'm old, but I'm allowed to look!" Oh my. First of all, I find it weird that my timid grandma had alcohol. Secondly, I find it weird that my grandma knows what Chip-N-Dales dancers are. Thirdly, I can't believe she was CHECKING HIM OUT. lol Personally, just because I find it weird doesn't mean that I find it disgusting. I know that when I'm that age, I still want to be checking the guys out (and happily married of course.) I didn't find the "Chip-N-Dales" lookalike to be attractive, but he did have a certain swagger. hahaha
-If you haven't listened to Linkin Park's new album, "A Thousand Suns," I think you should...unless you're not into that sort of thing. For me, it's great writing music. Right now I'm listening to "When They Come for Me." To me, it has an Egyptian element to it. It's neato!
-I took a couple exams at my college on Wednesday. One in math, which was relatively easy and one in spanish, which was kind of hard. BUT I found out that I got a 96% on my spanish exam, so I'm pretty stoked. I normally try to get all A's in my classes, but I'm not sure about this spanish class. I hope I at least get a B. My spanish professor is freaking awesome. For about 15 minutes on friday, we watched youtube videos that had to deal with spanish. She showed us this one called the "Spanish 101 Love Song" or something along those lines. Wow. It's really funny. I know that some people might not find it funny because it's a little crazy, but those who've had spanish classes will like it.
-Right now, if you have iTunes, I would suggest downloading "Wish List" by Neon Trees. It's a free single of the week. (I love free stuff!)The lead singer does not look like how he sings. If you don't know what he looks like, youtube their video for "Animal." You will be suprised.
- GLEE UPDATE: I'm still so disappointed in the last episode. I was mad at everyone. Ugh. I hate it in books, movies, stories, or TV shows when the characters don't give you reasons to like them. I want to root for an underdog, or someone who does good things! I don't want to be expected to like people who are whiny, mean, and revengeful. Why should I like people like that? I don't like people like that in real life. I was so upset...and still am. I was also upset because Sue wasn't in the episode. This season, she's been one of the only things that carried me through the season. I'm sorry to say this, but without Sue, I'm not sure I would even want to watch Glee anymore. It's like they've rehired their writing staff (and that the new writing staff they hired never watched the first season.)
-Thank goodness I've got other TV shows to watch. Modern Family continues to be a favorie of mine. I really recommend watching it. It'd be somewhat difficult to follow the storyline if you haven't watched the first season, but that show is always funny. I haven't watched it in 2 weeks, but I'll hopefully catch up over the weekend. Thank God for DVR!
-Wow. So that post was extremely long. Thanks for reading!

Typical Dream
I don't think I'm going to be posting blogs everyday, but this dream was so (insert adjective here) that I had to share it with you. Be prepared! It's very random!
Our story begins with me checking my facebook. (Yeah, I dream about facebook sometimes. That's how addicted I am.) I was snooping around on some profiles and I learned that one of my close friends, Jake, had passed away. (This is all in my dream, not in real life.) I was devastated, but I still had to make my way to school. When I arrived at school, I learned that it was time for Glee Club. My teacher just so happened to be Mr. Schuester from Glee (the hit TV show)! Kurt and Artie were there for Glee and so were some random people I'd never seen before in my life. (Isn't it amazing that your brain can create people you've never seen??) Anyway, we did a song or two, but then it was lunchtime. Once I got to the cafeteria, I saw my friend Jake! (The one who had supposedly passed away.) I ran up to him and gave him a huge hug while asking, "Why does facebook say you're dead?" He said that it was a huge misunderstanding. (For some odd reason, I didn't ask what had happened...because I felt like I already understood everything. lol)
Then, I got a call from my friend Kennedy. She was asking about Jake, but I told her that he was alive and well. She put my friend Dinah on the line, who proceeded to tell me that Tim Curry (The famous actor from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show") was going to come over to my house for a small gathering. (Side note: My friend Dinah and I have this suspicion that Tim Curry is stalking us, because his name/image seems to pop up in random places.) I decided that since Tim Curry was going to be at MY HOUSE, I needed to get home right away. Well, it turns out that I had to ride in a honkin' SUV with some Real Housewife of some big city/county that had bleach blonde hair and would not shut up. She was terribly annoying. On the way to my house, there were tons of dead fish in the road. I hate the sight of dead fish...I hate looking into their eyes that will not close, and seeing their gills left open, trying to suck in air. Ewwie. Once I get to my house, I realize that my whole front door is covered in dead minnows. (It's not really the door to my house, but for some strange reason, I know that it's my house. Weird.) I end up getting through the door, but then my dream cuts out. So I don't get to meet Tim Curry. I think my imagination had run out of steam at that point and was like, "Nah, I don't feel like going anything further. I've done enough work today."
On a different note, I read "Eat Pray Love" over Thanksgiving break and I was disappointed. It dragged on and on and didn't really have a clear purpose. I mean, I know she wanted to eat pasta, wake up at 3am to say some devotions, and then live with this medicine man dude, but after you get past the initial "Oh, this looks good," it just isn't as good anymore. Maybe the movie will be better. Let's hope so, because I love Julia Roberts (and James Franco!) Currently, I'm reading "Revolutionary Road" which started out pretty bland, but around page 130 got really good. I'm itching to get back to reading it. (The movie based on that novel looks pretty good too. I mean, hello! Leonardo and Kate Winslet! It's destined to be good....I think.)
Thanks for reading! I hope you were at least somewhat entertained.=]

First Impressions
Georgia font setting. It's practical and professional looking, yet slightly different than the average "Times New Roman." I guess that's me in a sense.
Hi, my name's Arianna and this is not my first time blogging, though it probably looks like it.
I'd like to think that I can write interesting pieces of work, but I'll let you be the judge of that.
My hobbies include reading, watching movies, watching TV, working out, dancing like a crazy person (alone, of course), and volunteering.
I try to be an optimistic person, which for me means that I try to make everything funny, I laugh quite frequently, and I smile more than the average gal.
I have my opinions, but most of the time I can see why people have differing opinions; I am able to put myself in other's shoes.
Literally too. My shoe size is 8 1/2. (Not sure why I told you that...)
I don't want my blog to sound all self-indulgent, but it is a blog about my thoughts...so I'm a bit conflicted.
Good news! I've lost 1.2 lbs, which may not seem like a lot, but for me, accomplishments deserve celebration. =]
Last little comment before I let you go: I apologize for my random train of thoughts. As you get to know me, or read this blog, you'll see that I cover a broad range of topics in what seems like a little bit of time. This is how my mind works...it can prove to be a wonderous thing, but it can sometimes be a hinderance.
If you have any suggestions, please feel free to share! Thanks for reading!
Hi, my name's Arianna and this is not my first time blogging, though it probably looks like it.
I'd like to think that I can write interesting pieces of work, but I'll let you be the judge of that.
My hobbies include reading, watching movies, watching TV, working out, dancing like a crazy person (alone, of course), and volunteering.
