Randomness and Obsessions

I just realized how long it's been since I last posted. Believe it or not, I'm not dead. I may have completely forgotten that I had a blog, but that's debatable. And now I'm not making sense. I should probably be practising my dance for my exam tomorrow, but I've decided that I don't want to do that, so I'm doing this instead.

I didn't really plan what to put in this post. Probably should've done that...

Oh! Here's a playlist I made of some of the songs I've been listening to lately.
PLAYLIST

I'm not sure if any of you knew, but for about a year I had coloured streaks in my hair. I had to remove them in May for a play I was in, but I'm thinking of putting some colours back in my hair. This time I was thinking of doing just the tips. Kinda like this:


I'll probably just do purple and blue though. My hair looks almost exactly like that, except mine is shorter.

Hmm, what else to talk about? How about some of my recent obsessions? I've started watching a few different shows that I really like; Merlin, Doctor Who, Sherlock, and Legend of Korra, to be specific. I've only seen the first season of Merlin, and I just started the third of Doctor Who. As much as I love David Tennant, Christopher Eccleston is still my favourite. I absolutely loved Sherlock. I've watched the whole series twice.

And I just watched the season finale of Legend of Korra today. There are no words to describe how much I love that show. For those of you that don't know, LoK is like a continuation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. It follows the new avatar Korra, a hot-headed and rebellious teenager from the Southern Water Tribe, as she faces the anti-bending Equalists and tries to master airbending. For those of you that have watched the show, you'll understand me when I say Oh my goodness it is the best show ever! I would definitely recommend you watch it if you haven't already, especially if you're a fan of the original series.

Well I think that's enough for one day. I'll try to update more often, but I make no promises.

I Love the Internet

It's true, I spend way too much time on the Internet. But I can't help it. Have you seen all the amazing stuff out there? I could spend my entire life surfing the web, and still not see all the interesting sites there are to see. Although I don't actually spend all my free time on the computer, I have found some pretty cool sites. So here are some of my favourite sites to visit.

First are the obvious ones:
YouTube
tumblr
deviantART

Then there are the more random ones:

Doll Divine is probably my favourite site for dress up games. The artwork is beautiful, and the ideas/themes for the games are always interesting. I like creating my characters in various games to see what they look like in different styles.

Cake Wrecks is self-explanatory. I usually only read the Sunday Sweets section, but some of the wrecks are pretty funny.

Epbot is run by Jen, the same girl who runs Cake Wrecks. It's probably one of my favourite sites to visit. Some of the posts are about how to do amazing crafts, some are about geeky weddings or toys, and some are absolutely hilarious stories about Jen's life. I always leave Epbot with a smile on my face.

Hyperbole and a Half is a blog that always keeps me laughing. Although it hasn't been updated in a while, the stories are so good that I'm still laughing the fifth time I read them.

Colossal is and art blog that I love visiting. It's not boring art like people imagine seeing in a museum. It's often fun, creative, and mind-blowing. For example:

It's a bird made of old CDs. There's always something stunning and beautiful to be found on Colossal.

The Quiet Place is a great way to forget everything and just relax. It doesn't take long, but it works. If you're stressed out, I can guarantee you'll feel better after this.

The Thoughts Room is a good way to just let it all out. If something's on your mind, if something's bothering you, this is a good place to vent. Like The Quiet Place, it's very therapeutic.

I hope you enjoy these sites as much as I do. What are some of your favourite sites? Let me know in the comments!

Something New

So, I redesigned the blog again. The fancy red design got kind of boring for me. I like lots of colours. This design is much more me right now. I actually designed the background myself using MS Paint. It was originally for my bedroom, because I wanted to repaint the walls. I love the colours against the black background.

Anyway, I'm in a really good mood today. I had dance class this afternoon, and for the first time I didn't hurt all over afterwards. Also, I'm going over to Skyres's for a sleepover tomorrow night, and she and Kesha are going to do my hair. In case you didn't know, I have coloured streaks in my hair. I change the colour every month or so. This time I'm dying them purple and blue!

Since it's almost Valentine's Day, I'm working on making Valentines cards for all my friends. I found this super-cute picture to put on the front:

 Now I just have to figure out what to write on the inside. To me, Valentine's Day isn't just about romantic love. It's about letting your family and friends know how much they mean to you. That's why I'm making cards instead of buying them.

So what are your plans for Valentine's Day? Leave me a comment!

Boredom

There's this site I use to design characters, called Meez. When I'm bored I like to go on meez and play around a bit. For example:

I also like to design alternate outfits for some of my characters.

And Halloween costumes.

And dresses.

As you can see, I use Kara the most. She's so easy to dress and so much fun to work with!

If you have some free time and nothing to do with it I would definitely recommend checking out Meez.com!

Christmas Music

So I know I said that I'd do a holiday themed Best of Youtube post, but as you can see that hasn't happened. The holidays were super busy for me this year. I feel really bad, but instead I'm just going to put a link to my Christmas playlist. It's kind of late, I know, but there are some really good songs on the playlist.

Christmas Playlist

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas, and a Happy Hanukkah. And if you don't celebrate either of those holidays, I hope you had an awesome holiday season.

Laterz!

New Stuff

Like promised, I have once again redesigned the blog! I absolutely love the red background. What do you guys think?

I also added a Follow Me section to the sidebar. It has links to my other blogs and a couple of different sites I'm on. It also has a link to the brand new Completely Me tumblr account! I just made the account last week, and I'm loving tumblr. It's so quick and easy. I'll probably be updating it a lot more than I update this blog. Don't worry though, I still have plans for new posts, including a holiday themed The Best of YouTube. Stay tuned!

To Skyres

You all know my soul sister Skyres, right? If you don't, than you need to stop reading this right now and check out her blog Writers Den. Don't worry, I'll wait for you

Now that you know a bit about Skyres's writing, you should know a bit about Skyres herself. She's the most amazing person you will ever meet. She's funny, creative, thoughtful, kind, and so much more. I realize that I've already dedicated posts to her on both of my blogs, but here's another one. This is for you Sky!
