I'm Back! :)

It's been a while since I have posted, and unfortunately, I can't think of anything truly interesting to say. Instead of sticking to one topic, I guess I'll just talk about random stuff. :)

1. Valentine's Day

     I honestly don't know how I really feel about Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day brings up mental images of pink dyed daisies in grocery stores, red heart-shaped boxes of chocolate, and those weird little conversation hearts that everyone buys but no one actually eats because they are, in fact, disgusting. As far as the flowers are concerned, flowers that are dyed kind of make me sad. They are very pretty, but it's too bad that they can't be appreciated for their natural beauty. The heart-shaped boxes of chocolates are also kind of disappointing. Even if you happen to enjoy chocolates, they are incredibly dangerous. Unless there is a chart on the back of the box to show what each type of chocolate is, each bite is a risk of eating CHERRY. Maybe there's something wrong with me. I just don't like cherries. There was this time when I was six, and my cousins and I were eating jelly beans. I reached for what I thought was a harmless strawberry flavored one. It wasn't strawberry. Since then, I've been reluctant to eat anything that isn't clearly identifiable. Yeah, I'm just that weird. The conversation hearts can speak for themselves. Ew.
     I think that it is kind of silly that people require an official day to do something kind for someone they care about. Only three days after Valentine's Day is National Random Acts of Kindness Day. The purpose of National Random Acts of Kindness Day is to cause people to think about the strangers that surround them every day. In my post from last year, I included a video of people doing random acts of kindness (see below). I like this day because it challenges people to be kind to each other the whole year instead of just one day. I think we should apply this logic to Valentine's Day. It would be so much nicer, don't you think? :)

     Then, there's the whole I'm-single-Valentine's-Day-makes-me-sad-I-will-be-forever-alone crowd. If this includes you, for shame! You are fabulous. Don't even think anything else. Everyone is unique and absolutely wonderful. Including you. God loves you the WHOLE year. (So does everyone else. They're just too afraid to say so. Haha)

     So, whether you're excited for Valentine's Day or dreading it, I will extend a heartfelt "Happy Valentine's Day!" to you. :)

2. The Most Underrated Disney Movie
    
     Gather 'round, my dear readers! It's time for Stargirl's weekly rant about the fact that no one knows what "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" is! Yaaaaaaaay!
     This movie was a huge part of my childhood. My cousins who also borrowed the VHS tape from my grandparents' house would probably also agree. All the characters are amazing. There are several hilarious, witty lines throughout the whole movie, and it's very action-packed and well thought out. It frustrates me that Kidagakash isn't included in the official Disney Princess Court. Unlike several of those princesses (no offense, I really like all the princesses) she takes an active role in preserving her kingdom. She pretty much saved her people. Also, Milo Thatch is one of the two non-dysfunctional-in-some-way Disney guy. (The other is Quasimodo.) He is smart and respectful. Good for him. There are also several other great characters in that movie. GO WATCH IT NOOOOWWWW. (It's on Netflix.)

3. Heels!

     I have been trained in the ancient art of wearing HEELS. This is very unusual for me. It took me a while to even accept the thought of wearing them, but I eventually decided that it would be worth a try! After wearing them around the house ALL THE TIME for a few days (it looked kind of funny when I wore them with my pajamas) I got used to it. Now I can wear heels! Yay! I can also use an eyelash curler! :)

4. Snow?

     Snow in the South is rare. I have witnessed snow three or four times. A few weeks ago, school was cancelled due to freezing rain and hazardous driving conditions. I was very excited, and planned to sleep in until at least ten in the morning. Around eight, my dad woke me up and told me it was snowing. Plans cancelled! I walked downstairs (slowly) and watched it snow as I ate oatmeal. It was so peaceful. It snowed for about half an hour and then I went back to bed. It was beautiful! :)

5. Art

    I am taking a media art class, and I put all my Photoshop projects on my other blog. If you want to see what I've been doing, visit the "My Art" page here: mediaart8abby.blogspot.com


Well, then. That's all I can really think of! Thank you for reading, and again, have a great Valentine's Day. :)
