Just a fantasy.

I enjoy nature. A lot more than I thought I did. I've always loved being in the outdoors while camping and such (excluding the bugs), but I never realized how peaceful it can be just in my backyard. Hearing the birds and the rustle of the trees in the wind. I wish I would spend more time outside surrounded by nature, but I guess bugs are just icky enough to keep me away. :/

Word of Advice: You know, people always say "don't judge a book by it's cover," but the same thing goes for first impressions. Even if you talk to someone and then decide that you don't like them, or whatever, you should still be kind and try to get to know them better. First impressions are rarely ever correct. I feel like I may have lost chances at many new friendships due to either my judging of others via first impressions or vice versa. Always give people a second chance. And a third. And fourth, and how ever many it may take for you to actually know them.

I always find myself daydreaming (so I guess it's a good thing that I can pay attention to things subconsciously while thinking of other things). I always fantasize about scenarios that honestly could happen... the likelihood of them occurring, however, is less than the chance of me marrying a Vietnamese hippopotamus. Unsurprisingly, these daydreams usually have to do with boys. I think "Well, today will be the day he talks to me." And then I go through an entire conversation in my head. Does it ever happen? No. Do I do the same thing the next day? Yes. That's what being hopeful is! Actually, I lied. It did happen once! Of course, it was a different person then I was imagining, but the concept is still the same! Being hopeful always pays off. :D

"You stood there in front of me

Just close enough to touch

Close enough to hope you couldn't

See what I was thinking of."

'Sparks Fly' - Taylor Swift

"This night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

This night is flawless, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you."

'Enchanted' - Taylor Swift

You know... there seems to be a Taylor Swift song for any situation a girl may be in. Do you think Taylor Swift does that on purpose? Or has she just been in all of those situations that girls are put in? Because if it's the latter, then Taylor is both a very fortunate and unfortunate girl. Actually, before she was famous she was kinda a loser in her school and stuff. It makes you think... what do the people who went to school with her think now? "Well, I was super stupid for being mean to her. And now there is a song (with my name included in it) that everyone in the country knows. Just swell."

Epic moment: First, understand that I absolutely love the Disney Channel show Phineas and Ferb. Go ahead and judge me, but it is a good show, and nothing you say will alter my opinion of it. So yesterday I was waiting to pick my little brother Danny up from school. I noticed a girl wearing a Perry the Platypus (my favorite character) t-shirt. I quickly grabbed my iPod, changed the song, and rolled down the windows of my car. As she walked by I blasted the Perry the Platypus theme song. At first I didn't think she noticed, but then I looked in the rearview mirror and saw her looking back at me like I was crazy. Needless to say, it made my day.
