Dr. Seuss

Today is his birthday! Also, it is Read Across America. I remember in elementary celebrating this day by having reading parties, doing poems, designing our own Dr. Suess characters, and our own books. I mostly remember in 6th grade having to write my book, it was horrible. We were then forced to read them to a 4th grader. How embarrassing. I still love picking up his books in our Youth books section at the library.

“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.”
 You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. — Dr. Seuss

“I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I’ve bought a big bat. I’m all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!”
We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love."
We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love."
— Dr. Seuss

“How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?”




"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go..."- Dr. Seuss

“You’re in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.”

Head Wrap

So, lately I had been looking at new spring fashion stuff for a newspaper article I am writing, and also because I like that kind of stuff. I found that head wraps, urban turbans and such are becoming, big-ish.  I like them. I have been wearing scarves around my head, but never in this new style. So I decided to try it out.
 Some Pictures I found:













What I did:
I just used a fabric belt that came on a pair of short I bought last summer. I'm sure you could easily make these too. :)





The last one was thrown in, just cause I thought it was kinda cool. Uhmm... It's March!

Something Changes in the Rain...


I feel that when everything is soaked by the rain, it gives the world a whole new look.









That's me, really cold. Taking pictures.

Realize

Well, if you are a new reader, or an old one. Today I was sitting on my bed listening to music, and I decided some stuff:
1. I don't mind Silence. It's true, I like music and stuff, but I can be completely content in silence. This includes being with one person or a bunch of people, I don't ever feel that it's awkward, just time for thought and reflection.

2. Books are Awesome. No matter what is going on in your day, a book can help you escape. I don't think it matters the book, as long as you enjoy reading it.

3. Music is Moving. I'm sure you all know this too. I just love listening to some Reggae when I'm feeling blue, or some chill Indie music if I'm a little too mentally awake for doing a more monotonous task. It helps set a mood.

4. I love Mail. This includes junk mail. yeah, it may not be very exciting but I remember even as a little kid just loving the idea that something had my name on it, that I, myself, was meant to open. It makes a person feel like someone knows you exist in the big world besides people that are always around you. I do also love non junk stuff. *wink wink*

5. Color and Pattern. I don't know how to explain this one, but I love love love love colors and patterns. I love mix and matching them, I love clashing with style, I love putting stripes with plaid.


6. Friends are definitely like Bras. Okay all you boys, you may want to stop reading if talking about bras makes you squeamish. Friends lift, and support you, and you feel all awkward and not right if you don't have one. You have to take if off sometimes so it doesn't hurt you, but in the end, you always want it back.

7. I will always Love Family. I don't know how I couldn't. I am constantly looking forward to my Sunday phone call date with my parents. I always always love getting texts from my brothers/sister-in-laws, even if it is a short "what up?" or "hey amy-face." It makes me feel loved! They know how to make me happy, and they love me no matter what kind of mistakes I make.

8. Pictures are Legit. I love pictures, anyone who knows me, knows I carry a camera almost everywhere. I just think it's fun capturing moments. If anyone has a bad picture memory like me, they have to agree. A picture can give your mind a flash to that moment, of course you can remember the sight of it, but also you start to recall smells and sounds, and conversation. I love it. That is basically why I started my other blog, I feel that words are nice, but a picture tells the moment better.

9. Single is Swell. I mean, having someone, such as a boyfriend, or whatever is totally cool, and I can't lie and say I haven't wished that I have one. But, in the end, I'm okay with being single. I feel like this is where I am supposed to be with myself right now, so I will be happy and content. I have lasted 19 years this way! :)
