And I think I'll ride my pony.

Hey, internet! I think I might try and start posting every day. Because a lot of interesting things happen to me that I forget if I don't talk about them right away.

The first subject I'd like to address is that, no. I did not turn those shoes in yet. I don't know why. I just can't bring myself to do it, I suppose? Second, if you are a fan of The Fray (which, I, ehem, am), and you haven't heard their 'Heartless' cover (originally by Kanye West), then I suggest you go look it up NOW. I mean, I loved when Kris Allen did it on American Idol (I don't actually watch AI, not my thing), but The Fray's is just... great. I like it a lot. Also, I kinda love my school, and most of the people in it.

...Yeah. That was quite a bit of information in one paragraph, wouldn't you agree?

I'm going to talk a little bit about band. I kind of promised myself that I wouldn't talk too much about band on this blog, because I know that non-bandos will probably get kinda sick of me. But today was pretty band-filled. First, I play the trumpet. I play third trumpet, which may only be significant if you're in some sort of music program. Please don't get the wrong idea that because I play third, I'm a bad player. That's not true in the least. Because I was a sophomore and new to the school, I got stuck with third during marching band season. I was by far the best third trumpet out of the whole two of us. Since marching season ended, the parts carried over to concert band, and I am still on third. But now there's also another girl playing third, and we're about equal, playing-wise. Just not desire-wise, I guess. She doesn't care about the trumpet as much as I do. Anyway, I'm really excited to do chair auditions because the third parts are all way too easy for me, and I really do miss being challenged.
Also, I've been working really hard at my music lately. Because I recently found out the my high school has practice rooms where you can go before school, after school, or during lunch to practice in silence. How cool is that? I didn't know that until today, but now I'm glad I know. It's just really nice to have a play to just play. I don't really have that at my house, because I share my room with my twin sister, and there's no other place I could really do it. It just felt so good to just... play. You know?

One more thing. The title of this post kinda relates to something that went down today. My father listens to Bluegrass, and there was this one song that came on the Bluegrass station today, and the lytics literally were: "All the trees look like stubble on winter's chin, and I think I'll ride my pony." Which makes me wonder... And what point would a grown man ever think to himself 'Huh, its winter. Time to drag out the pony.' Who does that? It just seems like the stupidest song in the world.

Thanks for reading! :]

Anyone ever try soy nuts?

Helloooo, Earthlings! That's what my principal says. Oh, I know, you now have grounds to be jealous.

Ahahah, my day has been so effin' great today. I say 'effin'' because I don't curse. Just something you should know.

Anyway, good day. Earlier this week I found a little keychain-type-thing on the ground while I was walking to the bus. I was going to keep it, until I saw that it was a souvenir hand-crafted in Holland, and at that point I realized that these little shoes might be important to somebody.
I mean, those look like they weren't meant to be lost. So I originally thought I would just turn them in to the office today, but then I ended up just keeping them. And I might do it tomorrow? I don't know. I really don't want to keep them if they are important to somebody, but I can also just picture myself walking into the office saying "Hey, I found these shoes, and I think someone might want them back". And the secretary will look at me and be like "Oh... Well... Isn't that just, ehem, dandy... I'll just, um, get right on that." You know? Like, its not important enough of a matter for anyone to really care about. And I don't want to make a fool of myself.

Okay. Sadly, that is the highlight of my week thus far. That, and I realized that I see this one kid around school so often, it could probably be considered stalking. Hahaha, I know, that's a weird thing to say because chances are there are a ton of people you see everywhere in a school with a population of 1500. But my friends and I have this thing where we point out people we see everywhere. Don't ask me why. But sometimes it is really creepy when the person that you're "stalking" works at the Dairy Queen you just happen to go to after a football game. Yeah...

Another thing I've noticed is that I really miss speech and debate. My older sister is on the speech team at school, and I took speech classes all through middle school, but I never wanted to continue with it. But today while sitting there, watching my sister, I realized how much I miss doing debates. Maybe I'll join the speech team, who knows? All I know is that I really should do something. I need to be involved in my school. Yearbook commitee, maybe? Or possbily Key Club? I don't know, but I'm doing something. I just don't know what.

Thanks for reading!!
And if you go to my school and you happen to own those shoes, please contact me.
Yeah, as if you're reading this. Because I have my suspicions that its one of the exchange students.

ANYWAY.

This should be fun.

Hello, internet! This week has been... incredible, for the most part. Out of four days of school, I went to one. I was sick all week until Thursday, but Thursday we didn't have school because my district is run by morons. I don't know what I had, but my mom says that she's almost sure that I had swine flu. I mean, my mom's no doctor or anything, but she knows her crap (mostly), and so when my grandchildren ask me about the swine flu epidemic, I will gladly tell them that I am a survivor of the swine flu.

First of all, I'd like to tell you that I LOVE Youtube, more than the average person. What I watch on Youtube isn't 'Charlie the unicorn', or 'Charlie bit my finger' (OKAY, does anyone else notice an abundance of Charlie's on the internet? Weird.). And that's as much explanation as I'm going to put in to this.

I bring this up for a reason, I swear. Because of Youtube, I realize that I have NO direction in life. Absolutely none. One of my teachers tells me that living without a goal for the rest of your life will ultimately lead to failure. Okay, that's not exactly what he said, but that's what he meant, in a nutshell. I just wish I would wake up one day and just know what to do. I like music. I like playing the trumpet. But I'm not anywhere near the level I need to be at to have a successful music career, and when I really think about it, is that what I'd want to do? No, I don't really think it is. But what else is there? I want to do something... Big. Interesting. Something that makes me want to wake up every morning to go to work. Something that I can do for the rest of my life.

And what really scares me about the whole thing is that, eventually... I will have to decide. And that terrifies me. Every year that goes by gets me closer to that. Here's what I know I want to do, for sure:
Move. I have recently been inspired to go to Europe. But that's probably just a childish dream. I feel like that's the first step of my ultimate life journey. I mean, here in Casper, Wyoming, nothing is going to happen for me. I know that.

And that's all I have so far. But there has to be something for me to do, right? And I'm never going to find it by writing incredibly long blogs. (OH, look at that tie-in.)

Bye, ya'll!

Sickly Brianna.

Hello again! I'm staying home today, because I have a fever and a terrible, terrible cough. I have to admit that its nice to just have a day to relax, but at the same time I feel so unproductive. I'm laying on my couch surrounded by cats with some Tang and Kleenex, and that's pretty much my day right there. That, and drinking my mother's crazy cold remedies.

There's one reason I hate missing school, and that's because I am awful at making up work. Education is one of those things that means a lot to me, like playing the trumpet or blogging. And when I screw up by procrastinating or not making up a day I miss, its hard for my grades to recover from it.

My kitten is staring directly at me. Creeeeeepy..

Speaking of kittens, there's something the internet should know about me. My family loves (and I mean LOVES) cats. We have quite a few, although I won't let on to exactly how many. One of my cats just recently had kittens, and they're all super adorable and super sweet, unless they're biting your toes. But I just love kitties, and I wouldn't want my house filled with anything else.

Also, I believe I mentioned my mother somewhere up there? I just want to say that I love my parents. They're both rather crazy. My mother will find something on the internet (for instance, some kind of remedy to prevent colds that tastes like crap) and immediately try it. So if you ever come to my house in the summer time and wonder why there's a Ziploc bag full of water with pennies at the bottom, don't even ask. My mom thought it was a good idea. As for my dad, he's not as crazy, except when it comes to music. When he gets really in to music he'll start singing badly or dancing like an idiot. And he makes up his own songs, too. Anything stupid like "Yeti Spaghetti is eating some foooood" (Yeti is our cat). And then my entire family talks to our cats, even me. We all get that voice like we're talking to a baby and say something like "You are just the sweetest thing!". Its interesting when we have visitors.

Anyway, I'm going to go get some rest, and hopefully get better. I probably won't be posting every day, I just kinda felt like it today. This is the most scatter-brained thing I've ever written.

Have a nice week :]

Welcome!

Hey, internet! I would like to properly introduce myself to you. My name is Brianna, and I'm a sophomore in high school. I just feel like blogging. Because who needs journals these days? I actually don't know why I want to make this blog. Its not really like I have an interesting enough life that any random person on the internet would want to read about it. But. I'll worry about that later.

First of all, let me tell you a little bit about me.
-I play the trumpet. Yes, I'm a band kid. But I promise not to bore you with the details.
-I make this blog with the intentions that no one I know will read it. That doesn't mean they won't, and that doesn't mean I'll stop them.
-My other blog on Blogger is complete crap. I gave up on it a LONG time ago.
-I think that I was meant for somewhere and something bigger, like every other teenager in the world. We're all just waiting for royalty to come and drag us away to a land where we're the only ones that matter.
-I can be hard on myself, but that doesn't mean I don't think I have some redeeming qualities.
-I don't know what to do with my life.
-I find something everywhere to think about. This is what will be written about on this blog.
-I'm actually going to make an attempt to 'spread the word' with this blog. Why not?
-I don't want to sound boring. But I might be. Just maybe.
-I don't have much relationship-py drama. So if that's what you're looking for, click back to Perez Hilton. NOW. :]


Now that we're done with that. I've been wanting to make a list of things I want to accomplish for a very long time. So here we go.

1. I really, really want to start taking more pictures. Some other blogs have inspired me to make my life at least look interesting by taking photos of it. I have a camera, I have a life, so I'm ready to go.
2. I really want to decide what to do with my life. I know, "I have my whole life ahead of me to decide that". But what if I WANT a destiny? Something to look forward to, something to get excited about?
3. I want to get more social. Not that I'm not social now, I promise. But I feel like if every person I have a conversation with can become a friend, I can be a very happy person.
4. I want to be one of those people that prevents awkward situations. I just do.

That's all I can think of. Lastly...

You know those Obama posters that were going around?




<--Such as this?





Facebook has this neat thing, where you can make a poster like that of yourself. So, as part of my little "Intro", here you go!

Why 'Apples', you ask? Because apples are far more hopeful than... Hope...
Yeah, I don't know what I'm saying, either.
