Power outages and the good old days.

So today was a big snow/rain/sleet storm. It SUCKED, I can tell you that much. I woke up to no power and went powerless all day long. It came back while I was at drum lessons.

Well. When there's no power and your phone, iPod, and computer are all dead, then there's not much to do, so I reconnected myself with the "good old days" of being young and...get this...HAPPY.

Today, what did I do? I went through my closet. It's a big square space full of a ton of crap. I found Barbies that I used to adore, WinxClub dolls, Polly Pockets, tons of old purses, a FurReal cat (his name is Oscar!), a wooden gun that my dad made me, a toy cash register, a green flag, and a picture of my deceased kitty that I wrote a poem on the back of.

I admit I played with the Barbies and other dolls for at least 30 minutes. (:
But why shouldn't I? That's what reconnecting with the Good Old Days is about!

I spent most of my time creating a fort in between my bed and my closet...I named it Juliaisradical's Fort. Legit. I decorated it with the green flag I found and protected it with the wooden gun. (:

Well this is just a heads up - EVERYONE should take a day to get off the electronics and relive the happiest times of your life!!! It makes you feel pretty good.

Yet here I am, blogging about it on Blogger, with Twitter and Facebook on two separate tabs. (:

Thanks, read, follow, comment?

Winter Breaks and what to do on them.

So I don't know about anyone else, but I'm on my Winter Break from school. We get a too-short summer, Christmas Vacation, Winter Break, and then Spring Break. I tried to convince my parents to let me fly down to visit my grandparents in Florida this year. Didn't work out.

So what to do on Winter Break, especially when you're like me, and you can't drive? And your brother who can drive is either a.) too busy with his friends, b.) too busy with his girlfriend, c.) has no life and doesn't want to do anything, or d.) hates you? [That's my situation, just for the record - 'A' through 'D.']

The truth is I don't know. I spend most of my time watching movies or being on the computer. I live in the middle of nowhere so I can't walk anywhere or hang out with anybody. For you lucky people who live in a neighborhood, or for you LUCKIEST people who live in a warm state, make the most out of it. Seriously.

Sometimes I sit outside and listen to blasting music. But it's just too cold. I'm originally from smack dab in the middle of Florida. So I HATE cold and snow more than anything pretty much. And now basically everyone I know is in Florida.

You can say I'm depressed.

But hey don't let me get you down. Go outside and make the most of YOUR weekend or break.

Hasta lavista.

Talking about Twitter/other websites.

Okay so, I don't know about you guys, but I love the computer and I'm a huge fan of...well...websites. Especially social websites. I'm a Facebook junkie. I had Myspace once but it's been overrun by lameness. (Not bashing, don't get all up on my case.)

Anyway, I just wanted to talk about certain websites today. One of them being the lovely Twitter. Twitter is like, God on the computer...almost...maybe his right hand man. I don't know why it's so addicting, but personally I love it because I get to read all of Mark Hoppus's completely pointless Tweets about nothing, and I get news on my favorite bands, etc. I love Mark Hoppus and I love how he's more of a computer geek than I am. His Tweets always make my day and sometimes I take them and form them into my quote of the day, since they're typically so ingenious. My Tweets are generally just as meaningless. Also, when you have a Twitter account you get the joy of saying, "I just Tweeted." And honestly, how can you not love that?

Another site I'd love to talk about. The one and only...Modlife!!! (: Modlife is amazing for many reasons. I love it because it's basically the home of Angels and Airwaves (one of my favorite bands) and Macbeth (favorite shoe company). It makes it easy to see any news about either of these things...plus there's tons more bands/companies on there for you to see. If you get the premium (it's like 6 bucks a month) you can chat live with rock stars or watch their webcam videos on Modblast or Modcam. It's really awesome...Tom Delonge (my favorite person on Earth) is generally always on there. Plus there's lots of contests to win lots of cool things. (:

My last site that I don't know as well but I think is kind of cool is Formspring. I just get joy out of answering people's questions! All my accounts are posted below. (:

Uhm, that's about all I have to say about websites for now.
