Day Six!

This, people, is the day I've been waiting for. Maybe the reason I agreed to to this challenge is because I get to focus a whole post on something that I absolutely adore. Or maybe I really did want to do it. I won't tell ;)

Anyways...

Music. :D If you know me, you know I love music. I'm always singing, listening to music, thinking about a song, or playing the piano. And I nearly ALWAYS have a song stuck in my head.

But this post is not for just any music, but my very favorite music by my very favorite artist. Hehe. Just thinking about this makes me happy.

I'll give you a hint who it is...

He fell off his skate board anddddd ended up in the hospital. Okay, that probably happens to lots of crazy guys. Also... HE HAS A NEW SINGLE COMING OUT ON JUNE 8!!! YAAAAYYYY! :D Somehow, I've already heard the song on the radio. Don't ask me how, but I KNOW I heard it. Like, three times! But google says it hasn't been released. And it's not on YouTube either. So. I'm not sure what's up :P Ohh, and I'm listening to him sing right now. :)) I'm sure that helps you lots. Seeing as I'm sure you are sitting here with me. Not. xD

Well, now that I've been giving you useless facts about my favorite musician I suppose I'll let you in on who he is ;)







Si. My favorite musician is Chris August. You know how I got hooked? I don't quite remember, actually... But I think I stumbled upon him on YouTube one day. I think his song "Battle (Part III)" was the first time his amazing-ness filled my ears. Haha. Then I eventually bought his album "No Far Away" and for like a month, out of the 100-ish songs on my iPod at the time, I pretty much ONLY listened to the 10 songs from that album. xD I love his music because it actually has a meaning to me. He sings about things I can relate to, plus since he's a Christian he sings it from the view as I have, which is simply amazing. :)) Added to all of this, he's SO funny. No joke. You might not find him funny, but his sense of humor is a lot like mine apparently. So. This is my favorite musician. End of story.

Buuuuut, even though this is a picture challenge, I just CANNOT end this post with out giving you a sample of his music. That would just be lame. ;)





There you have it. :) Now, you've discovered what music I love AND something that I will talk your head off about. Haha :)

God bless!

Day Five!

Hmmm. Today is going to be hard because I have to do a picture of something I really like. I guess since it's someTHING I can't do a picture of a person. That narrows it down a little. Now I can only do pictures of nature, electronics, music, food, art, movies, planets, animals... Oooohhh, this is still a hard choice.

However.

I like food. Food is good. ;) So, I'll do food.

Haha :)



Pure happiness in a plastic cup topped with whipped cream and chocolate. ;) Yes, a mocha frappuccino from Starbucks.

You're welcome to get me one any time. Or just plain old coffee for that matter. It's all amazing. xD

Day Four!

Today I need a picture of something I dislike.
So, I could post pictures of some foods like cabbage. Or I could post a picture of a song that I can't stand, but I decided to do something else... that maybe no one would think of. Sorta.

Anyways, I'm kinda rambling today...

The thing I dislike is...










This booooooooook. Oh my. It was sooooooo groooooossssssss... and disgusting and sad and I simply did not like it. Don't read it if you are a fan of happiness. Haha, if you know me in person I'm one of those happily-ever-after endings, sunshine, and joy kind of people (mostly!), but this book was pretty much the opposite. It was so depressing!

Yep, so that's something I really dislike. This book and un-happily-ever-after endings.

Day Three!

Today I will show you a picture that made my heart all fuzzy and happy and
laugh-y ;)


Isn't he just so cute! :D

I think that's how I feel some days... Super happy, but worn out! xD

Day Two!

A picture of the cast from my favorite show. *sighs* I guess that means it can't be a movie. If it was a movie, my blog would be plastered with pictures of Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and Elizabeth Swan. Or Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, and those guys ;)

But.

This has to be a "show" they say...

So!

My favorite show right now is...

*Drum roll*




PSYCH.

I am kinda sorta crazy about that show right now. :D


Shawn and Gus


So... if you haven't really seen this show, then... you can't understand it's amazingness. But, either way, you should read this quotes from it. Hehe :)

Receptionist lady: There is a Lieutenant Crunch here to see you.
Gus: Crunch?
Shawn: Actually, I've been promoted. It's Captain Crunch.

Gus: How much farther to this place?
Shawn: Fifty, sixty miles.
Gus: Sixty miles? And you didn't get me a donut?
Shawn: I did get you a donut. And then I ate it.

Shawn: How can you tell someone's a compulsive liar? I mean, assuming their pants aren't on fire.

15 Day Challenge!

So... my sister and my friend Lauren have talked me into doing a 15 day picture challenge. We shall see if this actually happens. ;)

Day One!

Me. Yaaaay. Not. I guess if Lauren can take a picture of herself I can too though ;)


They also said I have to write ten facts about myself. Hehe...

1. That picture up there... That isn't my real smile. My real smile is more like this... :D
2. I'm currently reading Ezekiel, and I think that it's kind of depressing how much the people needed to be punished.
3. I loveeee Chick-fil-A... I could eat there seven times a day (Okay, not really. I couldn't afford it or eat that much. But, I always think of that song...)
4. I really really really want some coffee. Especially from Starbucks.
5. I can never hang onto a pair of stud earrings. I always lose a back or the front and then can't wear them at all.
6. I always have really weird or amazing dreams then can't remember them But when I dream something sad or scary, I always remember it. WHY?!?!? -_-
7. I loooveee colors! Like, especially the bright kind! Rainbows... ROYGBIV! (Did anyone else learn that?!) Okay, but really. I like pink, orange, yellow, green, purple, white, black, blue... Pretty much everything but red and brown :)
8. Mechanical pencils make me happy. So do highlighters... especially neon ones.
9. My favorite musician fell off his skateboard and hurt his head :'( (More to come on that later... I think one day I have to make a post about him for this challenge thing)
10. Finally, I'm super blessed with some amazing friends! You know who you are. But, you always make me laugh and smile. They all make my life so happy :)

New Fruit, Faith, and Pirates!

Well! Chances are you think I've forgotten about my poor little blog. But, NO! I have not abandoned it. I simply haven't had time to write. I've been writing alright, just not on here. Who would have guessed that they actually make you WRITE in English class? Hah. ;) Seriously, though. I'm writing this post especially for a certain friend who asked me to. And I have a pretty good idea why she has blogs on her mind!

I really don't have an exact purpose for this... I guess I will just share some thoughts. :)

On a side note...

Okay, Haley, can you search on Google and find a picture of my dog? Nope. You can't. Does that mean he doesn't exist? No way! He exists for sure! Similarly, you cannot search Google and find a picture of a Monade (the fruit used to make lemonade!). So, there is no saying my fruit doesn't exist. Google isn't all-knowing. Haha! Told you I'd talk about it! :)

-

Now that that is taken care of... onto my more serious thoughts :)

The other day I read this verse.

Isaiah 7:9b, "If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all."

I had never really thought about that. I've had the mentality that it was important to stand firm in my faith in Christ, but I never thought about how it is impossible to stand AT ALL apart from my faith in Him. On my own I'm just a weak, useless, confused teenager. Christ is the reason my life is in order and that I can stand. It is SO important for me to stand firm in my faith. Standing firm in my faith is the only way I can stand firm in the other areas of my life!

Well, those are the thoughts bouncing around in that space on the top of my head. ;)

Smile, please!
Abbie

Oh... and this is totally irrelevant, but I can't help but feel like being a pirate when I watch/listen to this :D It will make you happy. I just know it. :)
