The Feeling of Poop

So, it has been a week sense my knee surgery and all I can say is, "I wish I didn't feel so poopy."  But on a more important note, this length of a week has given me ample time to play with Blogspot and explore the internet.  My finding have been pretty good and I have been even happier in rediscovering some sites I used to enjoy visiting.  Like I said before, I used to be an avid blogger and had plenty of online friends, but because of prior commitments and such it was hard to keep in touch.  Hopefully I can reacquaint myself with those people.  You know who you are!  I also hope to make plenty of new ones.  I am going to add a new section on the sidebar displaying some of my favorite and often visited blogs, so other visitors can have the pleasure of viewing their sites.

Sunday Always Turns into Monday
Well today is Sunday and tomorrow is Monday...and the week will drag on.  But today I need to make some goals and get some things off of my chest.  One, I really need to get caught up on all the school work I have missed because of my surgery.  My dad just came up and said, "Grades turn into money for college."  Which he's totally right, but it just puts a lot of pressure and responsibility on me!  Two, continue building up my blog.  I don't want a blog that no one looks at, which is what it is right now.  Three, continue to make progress in rehab for my knee.  I am so limited in having crutches being my only way of moving "easily" around.  My physical therapist was pleasantly surprised by how well I was doing and hopefully I can keep surprising the PT.

Who Are We to Judge?
Now here's a topic that I am constantly picking fights with people.  What is normal?  It is so subjective and it's crazy that people judge others on their normalcy.  Now the world does have standards in which you can go beyond and be considered mentally unstable, but just because you like something that some people don't, doesn't make you any less normal then the next person.  One person can think what they are doing is normal, but at the same time someone can think you are weird and what they are doing is normal and vice versa.  How can we judge people when everything we do may be considered weird by other people.  It makes no sense to me!  The only way to be safe is being part of the majority.  But that is how we get into the problem of racism and being judgmental.  The majority gets to decide what is normal and what is weird, and I find that so unfair.  When people decide they want to be above normal or below,  the world pushes, shoves, and shuns you until you drop come back to what is "normal."  Only the brave succeed in being beyond standards and those are the people I have such respect for.

Inspiration of the Day
I happened by a blog by Merrilee called Mer Mag.  Her posts seem to be pretty spectacular, but one of my favorites was the first one.  She's a mother and was playing with toys that belonged to her children.  Nothing surprising there, we as people will do anything in order to keep ourselves away from boredom.  She took it a step further and made an accessory out of it.  Then she proceeded to wear it out in public for everyone to see.  I applaud her and her toy bead necklace.

High School

I tend to get annoyed when I am trying to accomplish something, but my cat decides he is more important.  Not that he isn't adorable, but please?  Why won't you let me focus?

So I am extremely unsocial.  I tend to avoid people when I have the chance.  Crowds are my nemesis, and if they are stupid, well that just makes everything worse.  High school is the epitome of stupid places and prom is almost the end of the world.  Why do I complain so?  I really have no idea.  I don't know what makes me see so differently from other people.  I am not a giggly school girl who needs 5 other people to come with her to the bathroom.  I don't have anger issues or am suicidal.  I just don't live in the world of popularity and the social ladder.  I have friends, none of them think the way I do, but I can relate to them and always have a good day when I am with them.  

As a junior, I have never been to homecoming, but now I have the opportunity to go to prom.  I wasn't planning on going, but I have formed such a good relationship with new friends that I know I will have a good time.  I won't even have to dance, I just get to sit there and look pretty, and then strip down to shorts and a t-shirt and have a blast at after prom.  

What I am really excited about is the dress.  People are surprised when I wear a dress, and I have yet to figure out why.  Apparently I am thought to be the exact opposite of a girl who likes to twirl in her dress, but thats where they are wrong.  I believe it is because I am such a tomboy, but I would be the only girl in an awesome sundress and climbing a tree.  I am not one for fancy, ball gown dresses.  I like classy and simple.  This is a copy of Miley Cyrus's dress that she wore for some award show or other.  I am not a fan Miley Cyrus, but I am definitely a fan of this dress.  It cost grande bucks, but if I could ever get my hands on it I would.  

Completely of the Subject of Dresses...

If you have not already heard (if you haven't, you live in a hole), Apple has come out with their new iPad.  Many were expecting a larger-scaled iPod Touch, but Apple has done it again.  The OS and capabilities of the iPad go way beyond the technology of the iTouch and iPhone.  

While it does not have the full usage of a desktop or laptop, you can still do more than imagined.  The iWork suite is going to be adjusted to work flawlessly on the iPad making it easy to do word documents and such.  There is even a docking station for purchase that has a keyboard attached to it.  As you expect, the iPad also has its own touch keyboard on the screen.  

Some of the important apps (i.e.: Mail, Calendar, Music, etc.) have been revamped for usage on the iPad.  You could describe them as more user friendly and pleasing to the eye.  

Not to mention the amazing price.  It is only $499 for the lowest GB and WiFi usage only.  This would be a nifty thing to own, but I am not going to rush and buy one as soon as it is put on the market.  We all know that in a year, if not less, it will be made better and cheaper.  

How I Spend My Day

Hello again.  So, I know my first post isn't going to gain me instant popularity, but eventually I would like to get some views.  It is kind of boring when you are posting blogs and no one is there to look at it...  So there is some goals for this blog besides getting popular.

1. Get some pictures of my own up in my blogs.
2. Talk more about the music I enjoy.
3. Keep regular updates going in my blog.

Yeah...these are my goals, not much, but I have to start small.

Ok, now here comes the real blog.  Last Friday I had surgery on my knee.  I am a pretty active and love sports, especially basketball.  But sports are also my downfall.  I tend to be athletic in body shape, which in turn makes my joints looser than they should be.  With out strengthening exercises, my joints are very prone to injuries, hence the knee surgery.  So yeah, I tore my ACL and had to have a doctor go in there and replace it.  Not going to go into detail...

So right now, I am just sitting on my couch watching a recorded Ellen and thinking about all the make up work that has to be done for school.  But being injured/sick/recovering/etc., has it ups.  It really shows you what friends care for your well-being.  Some of my friends stopped by over the weekend.  Two different groups came to bid their sorrows:  part of my basketball team and most of my friends from church. Both of them brought me fruit, because I am a health-aholic and won't eat that get-better candy, as well as a balloon.  Yeah, for the balloon!

But the downs of it are almost overwhelming when it comes to the things I really want to do.  I am immobilized except if I am helped up. Crutches are my enemy because they keep me trapped inside the house with the dangerous snow.  My basketball team has put together an awesome "Pink" Night for breast cancer awareness and I have to miss out on that too.  It's crazy how much you miss everything.  When you have the ability to do whatever, you take it all for granted and sit around and be lazy.  But when you don't have the ability and all you can do is be lazy, all you want to do is move.  Weird how it works that way.

My First Time

So I am going to start my first post with an introduction of myself.  I have had my fair share of blogging experience, but have never followed through with what I started.  The only thing I have seemed to stick with is tumblr.  It is extremely easy and functional.  Although, in my opinion it's odd to actually see someone using it as a blog.  One of the most popular functions is using it as a photoblog.  Not for their own photos, but to display random pictures that bring a smile to their face's.  Welcome to some of my favorites, no copyright intended.  

And so on, and so forth.  But besides being a tumblr addict, I have been around the internet world and have owned some of my own URL's.  The Painted Sky, Sasquatch, hello, Viola, etc.  Like I said, I have commitment problems.  People wonder why I don't have a boyfriend.  Yeahhhh...

Well, my latest project was called Sasquatch, hello as a magazine.  It was going fine and dandy, but the staff I was trying to wrangle didn't do much to help my vision of a great and well ran online magazine.  As you can tell by this blogspot, it definitely did not work out.  Now I am going to try a better and simpler approach to a magazine of a blog.  Still like the name though.


So now it is just going to be my bloggings of random muses.    Yeah, I am kind of excited about it.
