Late night/early morning ramblings

round and round she goes, where she stops nobody knows...

Tonight, I've simply decided to blog.  I have no idea what this will end up being, but we'll see. :)

~ *MUSIC*~

lately, I've been playing around with our acoustic guitar.  I LOVE it!  My fingers are really sore though :) I can play an Em chord and a D chord.  Earlier this evening, I was learning how to play a G chord, which looks like this-

(This is not my hand! Just thought I'd let you know)

As I was figuring out how to get my fingers placed properly, my middle finger kept getting locked!

Like this...

(not my hand either)

It was really frustrating! 

~*MISCELLANEOUS*~

I've recently come across a website where teens can post their short stories, poems, books, essays (you get the idea) for others to read, comment on and vote for.  The coolest part about this site is that the top five picks of every month get viewed by professional publishers! Inkpop.com

I was first introduced to this site by my friend Landon.  I joined Inkpop so I could vote for his book and bring him up in the ratings, but I had no further intentions for the site.  Despite my initial purpose, I'm an Inkpop addict.  

Through inkpop I've had the opportunity to read some beautiful poetry and I was inspired to write something of my own.  It's not finished yet, but it will be soon.  I hope it turns out :)

~*SIBLINGS*~

My brother, Sam and I have this ninja war going on. In this war, there are battles, if you win the battle, you are the stronger ninja.   A couple of days ago, I was working on a paper and I had some yogurt in front of me. Sam walked up casually and began chatting with me, all the while, eying my yogurt.  I knew his plan and quickly won that battle!

At lunch this afternoon, he had some yogurt on his plate (yogurt is very popular in our house).  It was a perfect time to demonstrate my ninja superiority!  I quickly grabbed my spoon and  stole a bite of it.  I was filled to the brim with pride!  after some laughing, and unnecessary bragging he said, trying to convince himself that he's still a match against me, "It's easier if you have your own spoon."   No sooner did he say this that I reach over and do the exact same thing using his spoon.  I couldn't believe the next thing he said!  "I think I'm going to retire as a ninja."  Had I won?...............................Nope.  he changed his mind.  The war will go on.

~*FRUSTRATION*~

I have recently discovered one of my biggest pet peeves!  Hypocrisy!   Not the kind of hypocrisy where a person tells someone to do something then turns around and does something completely different, I'm talking about the kind that is simply a lie.  This kind of hypocrite says something about them self that simply isn't true. They deceive others with their words, and even with some of their actions, but it's merely a mask.  They play pretend, dress up like the hero even though they're the villain!  (slightly dramatic)

That's all I have to say about that...

~*FAIR WELL*~

It's nearing 2 a.m. and my eyes are getting heavy.  I hope you enjoyed this random, scatterbrained post.  :)

love,
