A whole mash up of my thoughts

I feel like I have so much going through my mind lately. This post may be kind of long, so I apologize in advance.

My fantastic roommate Dani bought me a present over the weekend!! It's a notebook with this album cover on it:



I'm in love with it <3 data-blogger-escaped-br="br">
I've been thinking lately that I want a journal or something not to write down what happened during the day, but just for thoughts. Random things that go through my head. Poems and quotes that I like. So this came at just the right time, and it's going to be my new thought notebook :)

A couple of my major thoughts lately have been regarding Sweeney Todd and technology.
1-Sweeney Todd:
Could possibly be my favorite musical ever. If I had any musical talent whatsoever and could choose a show to be in, it would be this one. The lyrics are absolutely BRILLIANT. And I love the story line. Maybe that's morbid. Whatever. It's amazing.

2-Technology:
Technology really is amazing. We are so privileged to have it, but so many people take it for granted. This first occurred to me when I was in Washington D.C. for our We The People trip. I called Kenzie and talked to her, and we constantly texted. It's amazing to me that messaging can travel instantaneously over thousands and thousands of miles. I've recently been thinking of it because one of my best friends, Mandy, is in Mexico. We can facebook and talk whenever we want to. We're in different COUNTRIES, but we can still talk to each other and communicate almost as effectively as we could if she was sitting next to me. I'm just really grateful for it, I suppose.

Now for this weekend :)
I just hung out by myself on Friday, because all of my roommates went home for the weekend. Saturday I got to see Ashley :) I love her. I haven't loaded pictures from this weekend so here's an older one of us:



We went to my friend's wedding together.  Ashley got baked :) haha. So it was kind of a struggle getting to the actual wedding. We took a multitude of wrong turns and got turned around so many times. And then after the wedding we ate chicken nuggets :) This is John and Megan, and their wedding was pretty.



I'm happy for them :)

Now for the thirty day challenge.
Someone I need to let go, or someone that i wish i had never met.
For some reason I'm having trouble thinking of someone. I think I'm going to take a cop-out on this one and skip to day eleven, with this reasoning:
Everyone that has come into my life has had a lasting effect on me. It may have been good or it may have been bad. But the fact is, I don't want to let go of any of the experiences and relationships I've had. Even if they've been derogatory or unhealthy, I still learned from them, and am ultimately glad that they happened.

So, number 11:
Something people seem to compliment the most on.
The compliment I get most often is that I'm non-judgmental. Truthfully, everyone starts out at hate status for me. Everyone. Even the people who are now my best friends started out at hatred. I may form opinions before I meet people, I think that's part of human nature. The thing that I'm good at is letting go of preconceived notions, and generally accepting people for who they are. I don't care if you're fat, skinny, white, black, mexican, gay, straight, nerdy, attractive, or ugly. If our personalities connect, I'll be your friend. And I'll fight for your right to be whatever you want to be.

I think that's all for tonight. :)
