So I had high hopes of THREE followers, but I only have 2 so far. Correction made. :) At least my 2 followers are the coolest people ever and some of the best friends I could ask for. Love you guys! 

Hello again, 3 followers. I know I haven’t been online in like forever, but here I am again! xD Please, please…try to contain your excitement. 

Anyways, so here it is Christmas Eve. I’m really excited for all the festivities this year, and they will be a great almost-end to 2011. This year, I’ve found out a lot about myself, others, and God. I’ve learned that I can do anything if I put my mind to it. I’ve learned hat other people can deceive you and hurt you, but most of them are OK. It’s the few deceivers (is that a word?) who make life suck. Lastly, I’ve learned that God has stuck with me through the thick and thin, and that there are so many ways to find him. So my New Year’s resolution/hopes for next year?? Well, my resolution is to lose weight (that happens every year for like a week), and oh yeah, to find MY path to God. I’m pretty sure I know what it is, but exploration of faith always means growth. I want to get better about not letting mean people get the best of me, and learn when to let go (See post titled “I know it’s pathetic, but it’s something I cannot deny”).  I’ve felt the same way I did in that post, and I’ve gotten over it. It’s a day-to-day change, and yesterday was particularly strong in the “desperate ex-girlfriend” mood. Any single spiritual, cat-loving, worldly, stable, hardworking, loyal, (preferably) handsome, understanding, open-minded men out there?? I sure hope so. Maybe in college there will be someone. If something’s meant to be, it will work out, whether by your own tenacity or by the pure will of God. (But isn’t your tenacity the work of God too? eshf;oihsdghwehdkjghwke I’m too over-analytical.) It sounded deep, right? :) 

Enough of my emotional ramblings. When I go back and read this a month from now, I’ll probably wonder what the heck was on my mind. :P So therefore, 3 followers, I end this post. Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/Happy whatever-you-celebrate-if-you celebrate-the-holidays. :)  

OK so I don’t actually have a favorite song, but I have several, depending on the day, what mood I’m in, what I can’t get out of my head, and whatever happens to play on my iPod when I press shuffle. As of today, my absolute favorite song, stemming from all of the above factors, is “Fix You” by Coldplay. Chris Martin is British; therefore he is awesome. :-) One other thing all my handful of followers should know about me is that I effing LOVE England/Scotland/UK. I know England and Scotland don’t really get along, but they do in my mind. Fish and chips, Chris Martin, and the Royal Family are just as awesome to me as bagpipes, kilts (with things under them, PLEASE.) and cute old ladies in villages. 

So yeah, about that song…

I can’t upload the song file from iTunes because it’s an mp4, not mp3. I think mp4 sounds way cooler, and I’m too tired to try and figure out another way to get the song up here. For now, here’s a link to it on Youtube. This should suffice. :)

PS- I’ll probably post more videos of it tomorrow/soon, but my brain is crying SLEEP@ NOW! So yah, good night tumblr. <3
