Michael Buble...gone

I had an awesome chance to go to a Michael Buble concert for free, and earn money for my brother at the same time...but that chance flew away :(
I work concession stands at the Vols games every saturday, and so whenever they told us that we had a chance to work at the special events at Thompson Boling Arena, and the first concert was Michael Buble....I immediately wanted to be a part of it! I was told I could work it, and would even be able to watch part of the concert...but then...I heard the news...Michael Buble brings his own team to sell his stuff! I was disappointed...but hey...at least I still get to work at Rascal Flatts! :D

Living Life in the Moment

I begin to realize just how important little moments really are. Words are constantly jumbling about in my head, looking for a way onto a page...any way. As long as they get out. Countless times I will be reading a book, and realize about three paragraphs later that I haven't been paying any attention at all to what I've been reading, but that I've been thinking up some new clever character.
I love my writing, it's a huge part of my life, and it's a part of me now. Sometimes I can be completely surrounded by people, and not realize that I'm not the only one in the room. For when I'm being inspired by nature, or music, or anything else; my imagination takes hold and runs wild. Leading me to and fro, searching for new ground to cover.
This talent...no God given gift has also taught me to pick up little details, to realize that small things matter too. Just one adjective in a good sentence, can make it not just good...but DELICIOUS!
I've learned to pick up on emotions, or change of tones with my friends. I always know if they are truly happy, or if they're putting on a show.
Remember people. Spend time with them. Love them. For life is a short, but very great adventure. You never know what's going to happen tomorrow, or the day after that. Many hardships can be thrown your way, you just have to learn how to cope with them...really cope with them. Not smiling for everyone else, but then locking your bedroom door and crying yourself to sleep. No...learning how to trust. How to trust one that's greater then us. The ultimate decision maker. Our father, and our true Love.

Writing

Oh yes I forgot to mention the writing I'm doing in my last post.
Over the past year I had been taking a break from my writing. There were just so many other things to do. But yesterday I sat down and wrote again, in my free time, just for fun. It wasn't involved with school, or something someone told me to do. It was my own choice...and it felt SO good! I felt free again...free to dream...free to write...free to inspire!
So I've decided to do NaNoWriMo again this November. I need some good story ideas...so if anyone has any please feel free to let me know!

Theater and Writing

Today I went to a program at my local library called Media High. It's basically discovering, learning about, and exploring the world of Media for high schoolers. This year there are only four people counting me in the group, but we will be putting on a Radio Drama of The Grapes of Wrath. It will most likely be aired later on the actual radio too! I'm so excited and it's going to be such fun! I can't wait until we get things started! I'm going to read The Grapes of Wrath too so I can help with the script writing. This is going to be so much fun!
