Thoughts

     So I have a jumble of thoughts all swirling around in my head right now and I need to put them down somewhere, and what better place then here?
     First, I'm not sure what it is, but I feel like something has happened to me, or changed me, but I have no clue what it is... my outlook on life perhaps? In any case, everything just feels different then before in some way, everything seems to have a new quality to it. I'm probably doing a horrible job describing this, but it's really difficult to do. And this whole thing is bothering me, I want to know why I feel like this, but I have no real way to figure it out.
     Second, my teacher today said something that really struck me. He said "If is the biggest word in the english language." or something along those lines. I think it really stuck with me because it's so true. What if. If only. These are both statements that can have a huge impact on, well, everything. They can make dreamers out of people and scientists, explorers and philosophers out of dreamers. If truely is a big word.
     I've also for some reason or another been going through a creative/artistic streak. I've never considered myself to be very creative before because I never felt very original in anything that I've made. I always felt like I was copying some one else's ideas. The main reason behind this probably stemming from the fact that I never really felt like I knew who I was. I won't go into major details, but my theory behind that is that a person is made up of little bits and pieces of the people around them, the people who influence them, and the people who they admire. This made me face the reality that, despite everyone being different, nobody is truely their own person. Anyways back to the main point, I got a little carried away, but what I was trying to say was that I've been busy making a bunch of really cool artsy things.
     Well there was a bunch of other stuff I would have liked to say here, but alas I have other things to do and places to be so I'll have to cut it off here for today.
     Toodles!

Random Update

     So my parents have finally decided that they aren't going to torture me for the next 2 years to finish my piano lessons up to level 7. The only reason I was doing it in the first place was to get an extra credit for highschool, but it was never really worth it for me. I am at level 5 right now, I just recently didn't pass my level 6 exam. I have mixed feelings on this right now. I guess I'm a bit happy, I mean who wouldn't be after they are finally released from the thing that they hated most. At the same time though, I'm not sure if I should feel a bit disappointed that I didn't stick with it till the end. Will I regret this in the future? Will this affect my mindset for the rest of my life? I guess I'll just have to wait and find out... Of course just because I stopped for now doesn't mean that I can't go back and take it up if I want, but really the chances of that happening are slim to none.
     On a different note, I recently discovered this really neat thing called steampunk. I think that it really interests me because it combines my love of victorian style fashion and technology. It also has this sort of fantasy/sci-fi/alternate timeline feel to it. I am definitely considering making some steampunk goggles, they would be wicked.

     Now that I really think about it, I probably liked steampunk all along, I just never really had a name for it. For instance several movies in my favourites list would be: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, 9, several Studio Ghibli movies and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. These could all be considered steampunk, or at least they have some steampunk qualities(in my opinion anyways). I think it's really cool how we can go our whole lives liking something without even knowing that a lot of other people like it too and it even as it's own name and everything.
     Ta ta for now everyone!

P.S.-You guys should definitely check out those movies sometime, they are amazing!

Blog About Blogs

     The first post for anything is always the hardest for me so I'll keep this nice and short. For now I will use the name K and I'll be writing here from now on. Thoughts, ideas, stories, links to things I like, anything and everything I can think of will from this day forward be found here in a physical form. Well, it isn't really physical, but you get the drift. Hopefully.
     To be honest, I'm not sure how this blog will turn out or even if anyone will ever read it, I know I never read other people's blogs. What I do know is that I will try my hardest to keep this blog going and even if I think that my writing might sound weird to other people, I will still post it.
     Anyways, I'm tired so I'll be heading off to bed, but before I go I want you to check out >>>>>this.<<<<< It's my friend's blog that she also started just recently. She's a really awesome, kind and smart person and I know that whatever she ends up writing on her blog will leave a lasting impression so you should definitely go read it!
     Bye for now!
