Oh, Katy Perry.

So, it's been awhile.

I've missed you, blogger! x)

Jake is home for the break, so to say the least, my computer does not hold my attention for very long right now.

Today I went shopping with Andrea and my stepdad, and got Jake's present :)

Also, Andy and I ran UP the DOWN escalator...childish, yes...dangerous, yes...but totally fun. I've got the killer bruise and occasional limp to prove it ;)

For those of you who aren't elitists about music and just like to jam to whatever gets you moving, listen to 96.5 for a good dose of some crappy mainstream for a good time. I had quite the time driving with my windows down, by myself, with the volume all the way up today.

Katy Perry -- You are awful live, and you're kind of a slut. Nevertheless, I adore your music. "Firework" is something that everyone should listen to, whether or not you sing it. Thank you for being catchy, hot, and sounding nice after some serious mixing. :)

This is kind of random, but really not I suppose...I watch The Sing Off. I'm a big fan. x) I'm so happy that Committed won this season, but I really think The Backbeats deserved to be in the top two instead of Street Corner Symphony. Their performance of "Firework" made me tear up tonight (The Backbeats, I mean). Also, everyone should look up their performance of "Breakeven" on youtube...much better than the original. The service that each group gave to a few charities also jerked on my heartstrings, especially what Jerry Lawson and Talk of the Town did. Those girls are so grateful for them :)

Which brings me to another point! I was watching the Teen Nick HALO awards (Helping and Leading Others) probably a week ago, and one of the girls who got an award was named Jordan Summer. She held pageants called "Miss Amazing" pageants where girls with disabilities got to come out and show off just how wonderful they are. The way she changed their lives was truly inspiring to me, and I really want to have one in Cabot, or somewhere in Central Arkansas. The only problem is, I don't know how to get the word out around here for an event such as that, so if you know any way that could help me out, please let me know. I really feel it would be a good thing not only for the girls involved but the community as well. :)

Saturday night, Jake and I went to the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert at Verizon. Needless to say, they brought the house down. Definitely a show I would reccommend to ANYONE. I'm still going to marry sexy-flying-guitar-man. You know, the one who played "The Hall of the Mountain King" by Grieg? Yeah, him. Better known as "The Mountain" by TSO :P

Another thing, I cut my bangs. My hair is now parted down the middle, and I like it, mostly. I'm still insecure about it because my hair has been parted down the side since I was eight, most likely. All but one person I've talked to has liked it. Andrew's just stupid though...or people are lying to me. Either way, I feel cute.

I miss my Magpie :( Come hoooome, Meghan. Christmas break is not the same without youuuuu!
