ok. vlogging didn't really work out the way i wanted it to. so...back to old school, reliable blogging.
school started a week ago and i am SO EXCITED! i never realize how much i miss school until i go back (although part of it might be the change in season/fashion. no matter how hot it still is, going back to school makes me think i need to wear boots and scarves and cardigans)...and i never realize how dumb/ignorant/rude teenagers are until i go back. i spend a lot of time on my own or with intimate groups of people so teenagers in the masses has never really been something i deal with all the time. but at school...holy crap! teenagers are so annoying! i am sorry to everyone in my life that i am one. i hope that i'm not as rude or as ignorant as most of the kids that go to my school...wow.
im also taking really fun classes this year. i'm a senior and have most of my requirements filled so i can take pretty much whatever i want. what i chose: ap european history, ap art history, orchestra, second year digital photography, philosophy and a cooking class. i am not taking math OR science. but bring on the art and history!

Books and other Nerdy things...
I've wanted to try "vlogging" for a long time and had just never gotten around to it...But here it is. Finally. It sucks, I know, but I kind of like it. =)

Blog vs. Vlog
okay. here's the deal. i am a HORRIBLE blogger. i'm not consistent and when i DO post, it's mostly just pictures......sorry. but thats another thing. i don't know what i'm apologizing for. this blog is mostly a form of 'online journal' for me to go back and look at and read. sorry to the four of you that read this blog...but this isn't about you. =)
i don't really watch tv. the tv i DO watch comes from netflix or hulu (thank you internet), so instead of watching tv, i watch youtube videos. "lame lame lame". yeah, thank you voice inside my head. but the thing i love about youtube is that it is SO individual. i mean, it's kind of a type of blogging...there are text blogs (like this one...sometimes), photo blogs, critic blogs, etc. but youtube is a kind of blog for videos. a lot of them are stupid, some make me cry, some make me think and some...well yeah. but over the course of watching youtube (i'd say maybe 2 years?) i discovered this thing called vlogging. video+blogging. there are lots of ways people vlog - travel vlogs, home-video type vlogs, talk-about-my-feelings vlogs, and opinion vlogs. but one of my favorites (besides the travel vlogs) are the sit-down-and-just-talk-to-the-camera vlogs.
i kind of want to start doing a vlog. not an elaborate, fancy, look-what-i-can-do vlog, but an i-just-want-to-talk-about-whatever-the-hell-i-wanna-talk-about vlog. laugh if you want, but i have a feeling that it would work out better for me than this sit-down-and-type blog arrangement. i have no idea if it will work but i just wanna try it out. =) call it a kind of summer goal.

Trax =)
After mom's half-marathon in the morning, we headed up to salt lake to see the japanese festival (will is taking japanese and got extra credit for going). We spent about 10 minutes at the festival and spent the rest of the afternoon walking around downtown and riding trax. =)

Beauty...?
What if you were able to tell how nice someone was just by LOOKING at them? If the beauty on the outside reflected your emotions and intentions and actions? If somehow your thoughts and emotions were wired to your DNA and your appearance changed with and depending on your change in personality...
The concept reminds of the 'Pretties, Uglies, Specials' (book) series...but weirder...somehow. How weird would that be??? I wonder if people would become nicer and more generous, or if "ugly" would become the new "pretty"?
Sorry...that was super random, but it just kinda popped into my head and i was (conveiniently) sitting at my computer so i thought i'd share it. =) Just a little peek inside the RANDOMNESS of my brain.

Live Action Role Playing
I never really understood how this works...until last night.
I am in a Latin 1 class at my high school and one of our assignments is to attend an "Historical Replication Activity" worth 100 points. The activity was held after school from 5-9. Holy crap. It was really long and extremely weird...but, oddly enough, it was kinda fun. =) I mean, there were kids dressed in togas...running around...who would only call you by your 'game name' (Mine was Domitius Ahenabarbus. Yeah, tell me about it.), but OVERALL it was pretty entertaining.
I don't know that i'd do it again....[no. I definitely wouldn't]...but it was a fun ONE TIME experience. =)
