Day 11 - a photo of you taken recently

Day 10 - a photo of you taken over ten years ago

Ok so this is when I was really little and apparently my family thought I was a boy because that is definitely a sailor costume. 

And this is me dancing with my cousin. Ginger runs in the family. 

And this one I look really terrible but it was too funny to pass up. Katie will thank me for this one I'm sure. 

Day 09 - a photo you took

Here are a few pictures I took for a photo class I was in. I basically suck at photography so they aren't very good. The first two were for a nature project and they are ok. The third one was taken when it was pitch black but the long exposure makes it look light. It's not a great picture but I got chased by coyotes to get it so I think it deserves some credit.

Day 08 - a photo that makes you angry/sad

This photo makes me angry and sad. It's a picture of a child soldier in Uganda. Every day children are stolen from their homes and forced to be tools in ridiculous wars. Boys as young as 5 are taught how to use guns and are often forced to kill their own families. Girls at the same age are forced into prostitution. It makes me mad that this is happening but what makes me even more angry is that people sit around and worry about buying the latest fashions and how their ipods aren't the latest version but they won't even send a dime to help a cause like this. We have grown way too comfortable in our lives are we are blind to everything that goes on around us. If you want to know more a great site is www.invisiblechildren.com

Day 07 - a photo that makes you happy

So my grandparents are probably my favorite people in the world and this is them holding hands at my graduation. I love love love when old people still hold hands. 

Day 06 - whatever tickles your fancy

So I haven't had a job in a while so basically I just sit around all day on the internet. So here are some sites I waste my time on.

Day 05 - your favorite quote

If a man does not keep pace with his companions,

perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

Let him step to the music which he hears,

however measured or far away.

-- Henry David Thoreau

 and 

Twenty years from now you will be more dissapointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. 

-- Mark Twain 

Day 04 - your favorite book

Well this one is pretty much impossible since books are my favorite things in the world. So I'll just try and pick a few from every genre.
So classics would probably be Pride and Prejudice, The Grapes of Wrath, and The Scarlet Letter

For regular novels it's Keeping Faith, The Last Summer (of you and me), and my new favorite, The Hunger Games series. These are probably more fantasy but that's ok. 

 

For fantasy books I'm pretty cliche. My top ones right now are Harry Potter, Twilight, and The House of  Night Series. 

My favorite christian books are The Mark of the Lion series, The Shack, and Redeeming Love. Francine Rivers is amazing. She takes stories from the bible and puts them in novel form. Really really good! 

And then for autobiographies I love Eat, Pray, Love, Night by Elie Wiesel, and A Child Called It 

And I could probably go on for days doing this but I'm gonna stop here. This will probably be the longest post in my 30 days. 

Day 03 - your favorite television program

Well I haven't had a TV in like 3 years so this is a tough one. But I love love love How I Met Your Mother! I just need to catch up on it.




This isn't the funniest scene but youtube is being gay and took all my favorites off

Day 2- My favorite movie

/Well this one changes depending on my mood. My favorite movies this week are probably

Remember Me 

  

                                           
                                                                         Peter Pan

and About A Boy 

Oh and I just watched Zombieland for the first time and that was hilarious! 

                                                                                

Day 1- Favorite Song

Well this is a hard one! I really love music. So I probably can't say what my favorite song is right now but I can name a few bands and artists that I love at the moment.

First is Fall Out Boy. I know they aren't a band anymore but I love them anyways! I got to see them in France which was the coolest thing ever and then once with Olivia which was really fun.  I like their lyrics because they are funny and unique and usually ridiculous.



Another one would have to be Eminem. I probably started listening to him somewhere around middle school or high school. I think he can get a little too vulgar sometimes but I like him because he never takes anything to seriously. I like that he's evolved a lot over the years too.  He has changed his sound tons of times and works with all kinds of different artists. I like most of his stuff except maybe the relapse album. But I love his newer songs.


Another artist I love is Kris Allen

0

Well there are about a million more but those are the three that came to mind.

30 days

So the first thing I'm going to do is this 30 day thing I stole off of Katie's page. I thought it was pretty cool. There are a few boring ones but most of them are interesting.
