Becca: Things Just Got a Little Out of Hand ...

Hey, everybody! (All. what, zero of you?)

So - we haven't posted in a while. I'll take the brunt of the responsibility for that. I've moved and had to start looking into getting ready for college next semester and working on and off at a local car dealership, and wallowing in self pity, and getting adjusted to a new schedule, and wallowing in self-pity, and ... well, the list goes on. I've been neglecting my personal blog, too [insert unashamed plug for my personal blog here: click!], so don't feel like you're the only ones being ignored! You're not. I've been ignoring everyone equally. :)

(You're welcome.)

Butanyway - did everybody have a good Thanksgiving? My favorite part of Thanksgiving this year was the three-hour one-on-one conversation that I got to have with my grandmother (on my mom's side), which is something I've never done with her before! And it made me happy, and two days later I'm still feeling awesome about it! Thank God for family, you know what I mean? Especially thank God for family who puts up with you (coughMEcough) and loves you (coughITWASMEcough) even when you're (coughI'Mcough) a hard-headed teenager. ;)

So yeah. That's all I've got for tonight, except that I think everybody should go look up the bands AWOLNATION and Florence + the Machine. [insert unashamed plug for my favorite bands here] Actually, you should also look up at least one of the following: The Vitamin String Quartet; Mumford and Sons; Poets of the Fall. And you should also to listen to at least ONE song by Lady Gaga. She deserves the respect, if only because she is an affront to ... pretty much everything. ;)

Note: Listening to "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga, "Little Lion Man" by Mumford and Sons, "The Dog Days Are Over" by Florence + the Machine, and/or "Sail" by AWOLNATION does NOT count as sampling any of those bands. I recommend trying "Alejandro" by Lady Gaga, "Feel The Tide" by Mumford and Sons, "Rabbit Heart" by Florence + the Machine and/or "Not Your Fault" by AWOLNATION if you're going to "try" any of those. Never start with the most popular/well-known songs. It gives you a false representation of the artist/group/band/whatever.

Okay, rant done. :)

Keep smiling!
