Music.

One thing that I absolutely cannot live without is music. If I didn't have any music in my life, I'd die. No joke. Music for me (and probably a lot of other people) is like therapy. There's music for every occasion. Happy, sad, dance-y, calm, etc. Lately I've been easily upset so my music choice has been slow/sad songs.

My original intention of this post was to explain how music can really help when you're not in a good mood. I personally listen to most all genres of music. When I'm angry I usually listen to death metal/screamo stuff. When I'm happy, you can always see me jamming to anything upbeat. My point is that music is a good way of expressing emotions. Sometimes when I'm sad, I'll listen to sad music and it'll just make me feel better because I'll feel like someone can relate to me. Music is my solace. I can't imagine life without music. That's like a zebra without stripes. I guess that's all I really have to say. I also compiled a list of artists/songs that you all can check out. The italicized ones are my personal favorites.

• Skyscraper - Demi Lovato
• Amazing Because It Is - The Almost

There's many more that I could name, but I just don't have the time right now. Enjoy!! (:

Why I Haven't Posted In Ages.

The reasons I haven't posted:
Lately, I've been completely stressed out, until this past Monday that is. The main causes of my stress were marching band and school. Those last three weeks of band were the hardest I've ever worked in my life. You see, the first week was state finals week and the other two were BOA. For those of you that don't know what BOA is, it's the biggest band competition in the history of the universe. BOA stands for bands of America. Grand Nationals are held in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis every year. Back to what I was essentially saying though, I was so stressed out those three weeks because of how many hours I put into band and school every day each week. Plus maintaining my good grades on top of that. It was not easy, let me tell you. I'm a junior in high school and this was my third year in marching band. Junior year + BOA Grand Nats week = Stressful x100. Now that marching season is over though, I'm gonna have a lot more time to post things.

Another reason why I haven't posted is because I had no idea what to talk about. I have a couple ideas now, but I'm still building on them, so they won't be posted for a while.

A few updates on past posts:
My friend that I was ranting about in the last post and I are back to the way we used to be. She realized that she'd actually have to initiate fixing something and that I wasn't just going to let myself be used by her. So she learned and I got my friend back, yay!

Like I said I would, I got over the whole lying to my mom thing. Which is probably bad, but in my defense she doesn't let me go out often.

As for the person I was talking about in my post about change, we are no longer friends. We aren't even acquaintances. He changed into a completely different person. But I'm okay because I don't even know who he is now, and I don't care to know the person that he has turned into.

Posts that are coming soon:
Music
Social Networking Sites
School
Relationships
& many more.

Let me just throw out some other irrelevant things while I'm here.


Things I'm excited for:
Winter break.
Christmas.
Going to Pasadena for TOR with the band!

• You should check out Kingsley on Youtube. I personally think that he's hilarious. Beware though, he's got quite a sailor's mouth.

Alright, I think that's about it for today. I'll get back to posting my usual things soon! Adios for now & thanks for reading! :)
