I'm a Catholic Christian, creative curly-haired, cat/hat lover who is awesomely random and randomly awesome. Read my wonderful writings, listen to my mystical music, enjoy my beautiful blog...
I was on YouTube today and I looked up the J.J. Heller song that I was meaning to find before. I LOVE IT SO MUCH! I love Christian music. Here's my favorite J.J. Heller song:
It's so sweet. I remember hearing this one a while ago and loving it and then I heard it on the radio a second time and went to see what song it was on the Joy FM What Song Was That? thing. After that I looked on jesusfreakhideout.com to see if it had the lyrics. Well, of course JFH did not deliver like I was hoping for (they never show the songs I'm looking for) so I blogged about it and was thinking of going on YouTube to find it so that I could post it. But I couldn't remember the song title by then so I left it for a while. But today I found it and now I've posted it and (hopefully) you listened to it.
But while I was looking for J.J. Heller stuff to post for you, I found this music video that's simply adorable:
But what really started it was that when I was looking on YouTube, I found the official music video for This is the Stuff by Francesca Battistelli!
But what really started my going onto YouTube to begin with was that I wanted to post music on blog and I had fun finding the cool song that I had found before by Plumb. Well, that's all this post is about. I guess. But I have one last thing to say,
And this because I heard this one once and I was craving to listen again because I just had one little part spinning around in my head for forever-ever-ever lol. I don't know what it is about Taylor Swift but I always love everything she does. I had Wiki-ed her before to see if she had any new stuff coming out soon and the reviews for the lead song weren't very high so I was wondering if I would like it or not...Then my J and mother listened to it and encouraged me to watch it on YouTube, so I did. And I'm not kidding, it's so catchy I had it stuck in my head randomly during the whole two weeks that Muppet was gone. I love this song, but that's my opinion. I just love music videos that can make you smile or laugh a little.
One more little thing about Taylor Swift: I still wish she would stop straightening her hair. She looks so much better with curls. Not that she looks bad. She just looks better with curls. I think everyone who's a natural curly head looks better with their curls.
Now what I really wanted to blog about was my last post...er...the post before the Winnie the Pooh post. Yeah, the crazy one. I don't think you are really reading those long rambling posts. So just to sum up that post for you (so you don't have to go through the trouble of reading that whole thing), it's impossible for me to combine my ideas into one single story.
You know how I can't ever finished any task I assign myself? It shows in my blog because there are several past posts that I say, well I'm going to add this to my blog, and I'm going to this ___of the day, and I'll post pictures and stories and garbage from my computer so that the world will understand and...it doesn't really work. The only sure thing about this blog is that I'll always post regularly unless I say otherwise. But I remember back in the beginning of this blog, I was all like, "I'm going to blog everyday!" and then I couldn't. Because I'm a busy girl. In fact I probably should go and write a summery for my science experiment right now. But I'm not going to because I read one chapter in the Scarlet Letter and answered the rest of my history questions this morning.
I want to post more music, but I can't get myself to go on YouTube. I don't feel like searching for things online right now.
Look at that! I lied. I realized that I did have an urge to look something up. It needed to happen. Eventually. Because this is such a cute song and now that I've seen the music video, I have to agree that it's adorable. I blogged I while ago about this song and I wrote the chorus' lyrics because I loved the song so much. It's called Don't Have Love by Holly Starr. The whole thing is just adorable. The tune, the lyrics, the music video; heck, even the song writer has an awesome name. Not that I don't (tee hee). But you'll never know my real name...except if you actually know me. But this is getting off subject! Well, then again, when does this blog ever stay on top of things.
Main point: I love music and I had the courage to go on YouTube today so that I could find my (new) favorite song. I can't just say this is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE or something in bold, because I love so many good Christian music. And I don't really care if people think I'm psycho because I don't listen to anything new besides whatever they have on Spirit FM. People really aren't writing very good music anymore anywhere else. I mean, some of the stuff on Christian Radio (in my opinion) is dragging a little more lately. I mean, there is a lot this year that's good and catchy and like, but most recently, I haven't really been jumping when the radio says "New Release" or something. But I have to say that, if I had an Ipod, I would purchase this song off of ITunes. But I have a MP3 that has an almost full memory and I don't know how to take songs off of. So I'm stuck with whatever junk I put on it three or four months ago. But at least I think I know what I'm getting for Christmas this year.
I'm also sad that my speakers aren't working for some reason. Stupid technology. Everything looks the same: phones look like Ipods, Ipods look like Tablets, Tablets look like Ipads, Ipads look like miniature flat-screen HD TV's, HD TV's look like 3D TV's. Soon our world will be paved in electronic, touch-screen, tiles. I hope DS's don't turn into little dual screen tiles. I think I would cry. Not that we even own that sort of technology, nor do I care right now for it. I wonder when they'll move from flat surfaces to round balls. Then people will be kicking balls to call their friends and burn calories at the same time. They already make ice cream machine kick balls so my idea isn't too far fetched. Well maybe it is but anyways.
I love it when people use the gift of music to spread the word of God, it's so touching. Not just Holly, but people like Jamie-Grace, Matt Maher, Matthew West, Stephen Curtis Chapman, and Francesca Battistelli, to name a few. Speaking of Jamie-Grace, I still have an unsigned picture of her. Maybe I'll get it signed by her one day. I love day dreaming. With imagination you can fly when you're grounded, travel the world while you remain in your bedroom, walk when you know you can't even stand...But sometimes imagination can be a terrible thing, you can see the worst that hasn't even happened yet, hurt yourself on words you don't mean, rest in a past of pain...The worst thing about imagination is also the best, sometimes you can't control your thoughts and sometimes you can.
Wow, I've said a lot. I guess this is what happens when Muppet's not here for me to pester her with my strange ideas and theories or whatnot. I'm going to go do something constructive.
So some friends of mine helped me discover this and I thought it was awesome funny! So I had my cousin show my brother them and he loved them too. They are really funny. And that's all I can say about them.
These are Sooooooo ridiculously funny. Well, I have stuff I'm working on, so adios!
So Blogger decided to change the blog format and stuff. Not that change is bad...It's just I go used to the old format and now there's this one. Maybe Muppet will have better luck uploading dolls. Maybe. I would like that. Well, I was really thinking about uploading more music videos because I'm getting bored of the same old ones. So here's Steven Curtis Chapman
LOL this is so funny! Okay on to the next one
This song is actually part of the Rez Dance that we do at my church at Youth Group.
And another Dara MacLean.
So that I feel like is enough for today. Oh, and I'm going to warn you again:
DO NOT PLAY ALL THE SONGS ON THIS BLOG AT ONE TIME. Not that the computer will freeze up or something. But I can guarantee that it takes a whole minute for you computer to realize that you've closed Internet Explorer of Mozilla or whatever internet thing you use. Just warning you. Oh, and you might give your mother a headache too, so, just don't play them all at one time. I'm telling you this from experience. So please just don't. Just for me. Please. With a Cosmo muffin on top?
Oh, that's my nickname for Cosmo: she's my Pluffen McMuffin. Look! There she is right now!
There's Cosmo the Pluffen Muffin for you! She's so FLUFFY I'm going to die! Yes. I quoted Despicable Me. Get over it. I quote a lot of people and movies. One thing I can't get over is how fuzzy Cosmo is! Gee, I wonder where she is. I've looked all over for her this morning. I have a tradition of reading my history with her. Oh! I know what I'm going to do today! I'm going to add to my profile and say that I like Cosmo. Then I'm going to see how many people in the world like my fuzzy kitty! I bet I'm the only one in the world likes a cat named Cosmo. Did I ever tell you why her name is Cosmo? I got to name her when we found her on our door step. My sisters really wanted to name her Ella from the book Ella Enchanted or a name that started with M since she has the M on her forehead that most tabby cats do. But I decided that her name should be Cosmo for no apparent reason that I can remember except that I had a colorful bear named Cosmo. I don't even know how I named that bear Cosmo and why I decided to name my cat Cosmo as well. So really it's a mystery.
My brother is reading this wildlife book and he learned that there are only 500 alligators left in the wild. Then I told him that there are only 100 pumas left in the wild as well. He also learned about this plant that's related to the Cashew plant that's completely poisonous. And the mango tree sap is poisonous. And there's a Jack o' Lantern Mushroom that glows in the dark.
Now I'm listening to WOW the 90's and there's a ton of old songs from people like DC Talk and 4Him. As I listen to them I'm like "Wow! I remember this song! It sounds so old now." which makes me feel old. Whatever. Old music is cooler anyways. Like the Beatles or the Newboys. Back to work (as in writing for fun LOL)
The last Adele song that I know and it's right here. Or more like above here since the word here is not actually where the music video is but...
So I finished my school for today (or what I can do of it right now since my sister has the book that I'm supposed to read a Ronald Reagan speech from).
I kept checked my email today and then realized that I wouldn't have anything new since Muppet is at some Drama Meeting that only a few of us drama people are going to (excluding me). Muppet, her mother, her friend, Al, and our director were the only people at the meeting. Apparently their talking about this summer's musical.
I feel like listening to good music now... Ah, Matt Maher! That's good music! Or at least to me. Jesusfreakhidout.com isn't very fond of him. Hence the fact that they only show two of his CD's. My family owns three of them. It shows Empty and Beautiful and Alive Again but it's missing his newest CD. It also does not show the newest Francesca Battistelli CD or anything from Mike's Chair. But they have the lyrics for Jamie-Grace's EP on their website. Seriously? And you don't have the newest Francesca CD?
Anyways.
I'm trying to animate a cat as shown below in these two pictures:
and yes I know that Mario is in the picture here. He was mainly there for sizing the cat correctly. As you can see, I have set pictures for the cat walking, moving its head, sitting, and jumping. I feel like I could make a video game with these images. I've tried making video-game-like images before as shown below in these Blob Adventure games:
These I never attempted animating because I don't really have a real way to animate image beyond scrolling through images on Microsoft PowerPoint which is what I've been using for the cat. But it's still cool.
One day I'll make a videogame and I'll be famous and...Yeah, that will happen. Just like it'll happen that I'll have 1,000 followers on this blog and lets not even mention numbers of Facebook friends or friends in general. Oh well, I'm pretty happy sitting here creating junk on Paint that only I look at ever. But I think that the junk is pretty. Look a lady with a cat! That one's old. I don't think I've drawn something like that in years!
Look! They even have different hair and the cats have different fur colors!
So now you know what I've been up to, I'm going to go do something fun for a while...
There's your next song for you. This is the one that my brother's always singing. The other song he constantly sings/hums is Doctor Who theme but that has nothing to do with Adele. I feel like posting another good song today:
Look it's Amy Grant! Also a great Christian artist. This song is very touching. I have to say this is probably one of my favorites of her songs.
I also have a picture or two for you:
Or maybe three, or four or five... but Cosmo is just so adorable. I think I'm going to have to start taking pictures of that cat again because eventually I'm going to run out of my old Cosmo pictures. Let's get down to business [To defeat the Huns (From Mulan)] !
So I was going to blog today which I obviously am. I wanted to blog these Matt Maher videos my mom sent to me:
So I tried posting this before but Blogger was having issues with me logging out from Gmail and then it ruined my post so I had to delete the last three videos and replace them. So it should work this time because I have not logged out of Gmail.
I am excited to say that my Easter has be fabulous. I got a brand new hat!! I'm so happy! I have plenty of Easter candy to munch on and I had a lovely traditional meal (in my family at least) of eating lamb and lasagna on Easter with all of our family.
I wish a happy Easter to all and God bless you all. I hope you have a great Easter. I'm wearing my hat. That means my Easter is perfect. Lasagna, candy, hats, and a whole hour of Facebook...How could life get better? Oh, wait. I just realized plenty of reasons. But it's good enough. I'm going to have a ball to day!
'Mo of me to day. That is Cos- Mo'. LOL. Okay so it wasn't that funny...I thought you might like to listen to a ton of good music right now so I'm posting mo' of the good stuff. Yeah, I should stop with the mo' thing. It's not really my style.
You are welcome. Don't feel bad about singing along either. I hope I have inspired you in some way. These are the songs that inspire me. These songs are the reason why I listen to Christian radio stations like the Joy FM. These songs are the reason that I love music. They show that music can be helpful and encouraging and that music can have a good message.
I instruct that you should not play all of the videos on my blog at once because I guaranty you will have a headache by the time all of the videos end.
So I forgot one of the other videos Al showed us today.
I love these things! So cheerful and happy!
I is off to do fun stuff with mi familia now, so enjoy!
So I got to do more filming with Muppet on that modern day version of Ruth film that that one girl wrote. We did this weepy scene that was supposed to take place after all of our boyfriends dumped us. It was funny and dramatic and sad.
"I laughed, I cried...It moved me Bob!"--Larry the Cucumber.
So I don't know if cucumber really needed to be capitalized, but it's a title...I guess...whatever, you get the picture.
So then I learned today all who all of the characters were supposed to be.
Rita (the main character) is supposed to be Ruth.
Natalie (The other main character) is supposed to be Naomi.
Olivia (my character) is supposed to be Orpa.
Bobby is (The guy who ends up taking Rita and Natalie to the dance) supposed to be Boaz.
That's all I can remember. I'm one of those people who isn't good with names. Especially the unpronounceable type.
I'm sad now because my mom told me that after this film, there's not going to be any more drama club....For a couple of months. That's not so bad, since I can surely invite Muppet over...but what about my other friends? Sure, I have their emails....somewhere...But it would take to long to find them because they are in an email somewhere in the folder labeled Drama Club, Drama Crew. I've got a ton of emails in that folder because whenever our drama club schedules something, they send out emails reminding us about the upcoming events. Plus, the email is probably from last year and it might not have everyone. Oh well...
So I've been fasting from Facebook which is another reason why I'm down. I'm Catholic. When it's Lent, I fast from things. It just so happened that I decided that Facebook would be a great thing to fast from, since I JUST got it. It's really, reaLLY. REALLY hard to do, but then, that's sacrifice. But I shouldn't complain (even though I'm certain I have at one point or another) because then the sacrifice means nothing.
So BACK on the subject of filming. While I WAS NOT filming I was chilling out with my other friends. One of the guys that was waiting for his turn to film (He's probably going to be mentioned multiple times, so I'm going to use the simple name of Al for him) showed us these YouTube videos. You can see them below:
So funny and cute. I want a duck. Al is great like that.
So I'm getting hungry. For dinner of course. I'll be back to blog some more tomorrow (hopefully).
Yeah so an unfinished Windows Vista update occurred so Mozilla wouldn't open for me. I had to use Internet Explorer and, I guess you can say that me and Internet Explorer don't get along well together, since on my Grandparent's computer it refuses to let Gmail work and on this computer, it is obstinate about letting me look at my blog or Facebook. So, Mozilla is my friend since EVERYTHING works on it. Plus, Mozilla instantly spell checks what I write. This way my blog posts have less mistakes.
So, music...
That my friend is Jamie-Grace. My dream is that she'll follow my blog. She's so cool. TobyMac is awesome too! But I'm sure I've said that before.
I GET TO FILM TOMORROW! Hooray! I get to be in my first film! I get to be one of the main characters in it. So, I'm nervous about remembering my lines. I've only done stage performances before, and I love the stage. But I might like filming better since, if I mess up, I can be filmed again. It's unpredictable about how this will turn out. Oh cool! I love that song!
So, YouTube is stupid and doesn't have Unpredictable. I'll settle for this Francesca Battistelli song instead.
Mostly because technology drives me crazy.
Oh look! My favorite Nyan Cat video!
Muppet showed me it on Thursday when I was waiting for my newly nail-polished nails to dry. Now my nails look like ladybugs.
My brother had a gym competition on Friday and won fourth over all in the state on pummel. It was cool. Then I had a fit because I lost my pen in the great unknown and then got home and realized I had it all along. I hate that. So anyways.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW!!! AND FILMING!!! I feel so lucky to be in a film for some reason. Even though it's not that big of a deal. Like, people filmed me doing the Murder Mystery play last year and it's not on DVD or something. It wasn't that big...so will this. But I think it's cool that I'm going to be in an actual movie type thing. With Muppet. And this amazing girl who posts amazing things on Facebook.
Like: "A real girl isn't perfect. But a perfect girl isn't real."
That one is one of my favorites. Well, I have to go, I can't possibly blog ALL day.
So there was drama and basically all that happened was a few games and a lot, A LOT of the script that I have only three lines in. We had to redo it a ton because some of the people didn't quite have their lines memorized. I have to say that I was very impressed with how well Muppet memorized her GINORMOUS monologue. That thing is seriously as big as a monologue.
The good thing is that I might be getting another part in another script!
You'll never guess because... Because I'm awesome like that. No but really guess what (GET TO THE POINT ALREADY)!
I went shopping at this awesome mall with my friend Muppet. We bought all sorts of awesomeness. That's because we went to Claires and some place called Tilly's and another place called Rainbow. We got hats, and headbands, and shirts and chicken sandwiches. Hmm...when I think of sandwiches I think of witches made of sand.
I went to Zumba. It's a lot of fun and I strongly suggest that you members should try it. Just don't laugh at the person standing next to you because you look just as ridiculous dancing as the other person next to you.
I took a nice long shower and reflected on the day. You know, showers are great for releaving your mind of stress.
You're probably wondering when I'll mention music. Answer: Now
I got this new CD for my birthday. Mark Schultz. Pretty name. Pretty voice. His songs tell amazingly vivid stories. And those stories make you think. He's just wonderful. One day when I figure out a few more tricks about blogging I might post videos one day.
SLEEP! COSMO NEEDS SLEEP!!!!!!ZZZzzzzzz----......
Night night peoples! All you peoples everywhere! Sleep tight!
