Baking Music

 I took this photo of my thirteen year old brother's black high top converse, and thought it appropriate for this topic.










UnkamenKitchen made a post about his favorite baking music. I like the idea, I do listen to music while I cook very frequently. But... I would add some swing dance music to that playlist. Nothing like dancing around the kitchen while cooking, especially when there's no one around!
Give UnkamenKitchen your two cents about his music here

Blanket Fort

 I was talking to a guy friend of mine late one night over text message. Somehow it turned to how stubborn men can be, as a joke, I said that I had had enough of boys. His solution was to make a fort, out of blankets and pillows, and make a sign that said, "No guys allowed". Naturally, I took him up on the idea. Making my bed into the best fort I could imagine. This, of course, is what followed;

I've noticed that some people think life is about standing straight and tall, holding your head high, showing how mature you can truly be, and all that pristine nonsense. Even with two months before I turn eighteen, I still hold on to my light hearted child side. And I hope to keep it for many years to come. Let loose, take a running jump over a puddle, that skip step along a dirt road, playing a joke on a friend, even to hide in the bushes with your best friends. Without that, we are just another perfect face in a world that is far from perfect. The ones who show their true colors will be noticed, maybe in a bad way by some, but by many, a very good way.
