Interesting

My iPod's headphone jack has been messed up for a while, and today in attempt to fix it... I found this.
In case you cant see, its says
Warning, may explode if damaged or exposed of in fire.
That seems kind of scary to me... what if the back caves in on it? And what about the people who haven't read that? Not everybody takes off the back...
From now on if it drops, I will probably have a heart attack every time in fear of the explosion.

A little hint.

I have been pondering (quite a bit about everything, but that's not the point...) about when I get mad at people. It's not what you think...
I have been pondering mostly about some of the close friends I have now that I have been in huge fights with. One of them told me I was destroying someones life, another broke my best friends heart... Things like that (if these people are reading this I want you to know, I honestly don't care anymore). And I have been thinking of why we are friends.
So maybe that's what you were thinking... But I decided I would give some people a little hint about me.
As you may have seen me mention before, I don't hold grudges. I think I have said it somewhere on my blog... If not, I don't. I really can only stay mad about something for a week, maybe two (when I try to stay mad). I have just trained myself to get over it, and I do. Back to what we were saying before... Oh yeah.
So I don't hold grudges against people, and so when things like I mentioned before happen, I move on pretty quick, I just don't care enough to talk to the person. So here is hint number one. If you just start talking to me like nothing happened, eventually we will be friends again. That's what happened with all these other friends, and now they are some of my closest. So just start by gradually saying hi, things like that then it's like it never happened. I think another reason this works, is I'm not a big enough jerk to ignore someone who says hi. Even when I try, I can't.
Okay, moving on. Another thing I noticed, is I never say no to someone who asks me to dance. Even if I really don't want to. Here is why; I took ballroom. My teacher hammered this into us like nothing else. She said something like this: "don't ever say no to a boy when he asks you to a dance, or on a date. Because, you have no idea how much they had to work to get that courage to ask you, and there is nothing worse than being shot down." it probably wasn't exactly that, but that's the basics. I'm sure there are some exceptions to saying no... But when it comes to dances, I will never, ever say no. So this is a good way to talk to me if I am ever giving one of you guys the silent treatment.
So this was really pointless, but recently I have had no ideas of what to write about. Any ideas?

Why breaks are bad

Christmas break is almost over. Don't get me wrong, I have loved it, but now I am in bad habits with sleep. I had my insomnia under controll... Until now.
It's 5 am. Am I up early, or late? You tell me. I accidentally fell asleep on the couch and now I haven't been able to fall back asleep since then. And believe me, I have tried. I have layed here for 2 hours strait only opening my eyes to see the time and realizing I have still not fallen asleep. Part of the reason, well most of the reason, is I have too much on my mind.
Any tricks to fall asleep when this happens?

Piano vs. Guitar

For Christmas I got a guitar. (I have been wanting to learn for a while now, but didn't have one to learn on...) My sister said that I should learn before I had one because then I would have a reason for having one, but I have a different kind of motivation, if I have something, I will use it. And I have.
I have been thinking about the differences between the piano, and the guitar. I can play both of these, and honestly I think guitar is a lot easier. Why?
Well I have been playing  the guitar for 5 days, and I almost have a song learned, The Only Exception by Paramore. And I was thinking about it, With piano, you have to know how to read music, know the key signatures, know they key names, time signatures, sharps, flats, etc. Guitar, you need to know how to read the diagrams, know the string names, and how to tune it. Piano is a much slower instrument to learn. but, both are incredible.

Christmas

Tomorrow is Christmas. I just got back from shopping. I feel bad for the people who have to be working, and I feel guilty for not having everything ready a couple days ago. But I have a reason why. It's not a good one... But it just doesn't feel like Christmas is tomorrow. I honestly don't believe it.
So I am wondering... What is the true meaning of Christmas? Here is what comes to mind.

So that's not really explanatory...
Anyways. One of my favorite things about Christmas is the snow. And sadly, we haven't had ANY that has stayed for more than a day. My choir needs to sing the song.
One thing my family does that I really like is we take turns opening presents. We spend more time together too.
Christmas is an awesome time of year. :)

Writing

A while back I tried writing a story. It has gone pretty well and I realized how much I like to write. But the last story has freaked me out, so I tried to start again. I am realizing that a lot of research should go into it. My first attempt I didn't really need to worry about that. But this time, I do. I have to figure out where she is going, her name, choices she makes, etc. I am in complete controll of someone's life. I don't look at the people in my book as characters, but people. And I have gotten a taste of how little choices determine you outcome of life. For example:
In my last book there is a girl who is treated horribly by her family. She has a "secret grove" I guess you could say and she goes quite often. One day she decided to go farther in and explore, and meets a guy. And that guy becomes a huge part of her life. Had she not gone farther, she would have never met him, and her life would be completely different.

I will be completely honest, this is nerve wracking for me. I have controll over someone's life. I determine their destiny and little choices I make. And so this time I am researching things so I can help her make the right decisions. Why do I worry about it? To be honest I don't know. Maybe it's because I would want someone to do the same for me.

Snow day

My choir class had a song called "snow day" and before I would joke "let go sing it outside so it will snow." and we never actually did. But here is the cool part. 4 times in a row after we sang it, it snowed. Is the song magical, or was it all random perfect timing?
