Alright, I've got it.

I know what to do with my blog, as I never know what to write.

I've gotten the idea from http://www.goodmorningandgoodnight.com/

I'm going to try and post one little thing everyday. Whether it's a favourite quote, a photo I think beautiful or thought provoking, etc, with no explanation as to why. It may prove to be a challenge for me though, because I always feel the need to explain things.

Dunno what I'll title the posts though. We'll see what happens. Maybe there will be a day where I actually write some of my thoughts down. Who knows? Maybe you'll learn something about me about what kind of photos/quotes/songs I post.

See ya around,

Renae

So...

I never write blog posts. Why? I haven't the foggiest idea what to write about. I do hold a book of thoughts, though, but the ideas aren't that coherent to type up for everyone to read. So, if you like to read what I write, in the event that I do post something, tell me what you want to know about me or what I think about a certain topic. Then I'll have the inspiration to write something. But I don't want to post knowing that people won't read in interest.

Cheerio,
Renae

My blog project for February.

So, I was planning on starting this on monday. But then I was thinking I wouldn't keep it up, but I do want to blog more.
Anyway, my plan: to post a list I've written each day. and I'm already four days behind. I'll probably need your ideas for lists. It can be anything from the songs I've been listening to on repeat, or what I ate the previous week. I don't know, it can be something for you to get to know me more, and I think it's fun to write lists and to read them as well.

My list for today: 9 Things I should be doing right now instead of being on facebook and this.

1. My Math Portfolio project that's due tomorrow.
2. Two english assignments due tomorrow.
3. Start reading my book for history thats due beginning of March.
4. Start reading Pedro Paramo that we have to read by the 16th.
5. My chemistry assignment that's also due tomorrow.
5. My french assignment due on monday.
6. Read all my other books before they become overdue at the library.
-and the stuff that I should do after doing all of that:
7. write all the letters i have to send soon.
8. Watch Doctor Who ( fourth Doctor )
9. Watch the third series of HIMYM


Tell me what subjects for lists you want to see from me. Otherwise, i'll just come up with ones that wouldn't be as interesting.

Cheerio,
Renae

Carpe Diem?

I’ve been thinking. How many times do we hear the words “Carpe Diem” and never act on them? Or how many times do we hear “make the best of today” or “live like it’s your last day on earth” and never do anything about it? I know I’m one of those people. I always think of things to do to make my days livelier, but I never do them when it comes to it. I always want to do something to “Seize the Day” but I’d always put it off for another day. I hear these statements all the time, and I want to live by them, but I never do. I think we all take our days for granted, and pretend like we’ll always have a sufficient amount of time. I find myself repeatedly saying “One of These Days…” I’ll do this, or I’ll do that… but I never end up doing it. I really do want to live by those words, I do. I can’t really say “Carpe Diem” to other people, unless I start living by those words myself, can I?

Cheerio

My 2010 Resolutions

1. To not procrastinate too much.
2. To only allow myself a maximum of one hour on the computer on Sundays. This will allow me to read more and to decrease my procrastination.
3. Write more. This can either be here on my blog, or just in general.
4. To get my weekend homework done before Sunday. So I don't have to worry about it on Sunday, and so that I will be able to relax and do nothing.
5. Deliberately find new things to learn.
6. Practice drawing
7. Make new friends
8. Volunteer at the Humane Society more


I do believe that all of these goals are very attainable. :)

2009

I have decided to write another end of the year blog post containing the albums/tv shows/movies/moments that I have fully enjoyed throughout the year. I would have had this posted before today, but I didn’t write the whole thing before going to my sleepovers.
Albums/Songs:
Hello Hurricane: Switchfoot. This album came out in November, and it took me a little while to buy it. Actually, I convinced my dad to buy it for me. I listened to it from end to end a few times, and each time was spectacular. I will not tire from listening to those songs. There may be longer lengths of time where I won’t listen to a song, but I will not tire of listening to the album. It’s really a great album. I’m pretty sure all of you readers will agree. Considering the only people who read my blog are from LOBH.
Caféine: Christophe Willem. He was one of the artists I got into when I was in France. I decided to buy his album at the airport in France before leaving. I listened to the album several times through. Then I found other songs by him not on the album, and I will occasionally listen to the songs on repeat now. It’s a great album.
I got into a lot of other French songs too. xD
Relient K came out with a new album: Forget and not slow down. I haven’t gotten the album yet, but I’m pretty sure I’d love all the songs a lot.
Lifehouse released a new single a few months ago, called Halfway Gone. It’s off their new album, Smoke and Mirrors, which comes out in February. It was going to be released back in early December, but they postponed the date. I do enjoy the new single a lot. :D
There are a bunch of other songs that I’ve fallen in love with, and it would take too long to list them all. Partially because I wouldn’t be able to remember all the ones that I like.
Television Shows:
I got into Doctor Who back in March. It’s such a great sci-fi show. The writing is incredible, and I love the story lines. There have been a few episodes that I’ve disliked, but that doesn’t stop me from watching it.
David Tennant’s reign ends tomorrow night, and I believe I’ll be saddened to see the end of his acting in that show. But, Sendhil Ramamurthy ( another one of my favourite actors )and David Tennant will star in a new TV show coming up soon. Anyway, I do believe that Rose is my favourite companion to the Doctor, but then Donna came along, and I really enjoy her character too.
I also got into the sitcom How I met Your Mother. I also enjoy this show a lot. It’s fast paced and it’s well written. And not to mention funny.
Back in May, I think it was, I wanted to start watching Star Trek: The Next Generation. I haven’t seen all of the seasons yet, but I think the show is intriguing. It’s also fun to watch it with my dad, because he used to be obsessed with it, so whenever I have any questions, he can answer them.
One Monday, my friends suggested that I start watching the Big Bang Theory. So I went home, and watched it that night, and coincidentally, Wil Wheaton from Star Trek guest starred in that episode. It was in the middle of the 3rd season, but I quickly discovered that it would be a fantastic show to watch.
I’ve also gotten into other TV shows this past year. There’s Time Warp, How It’s Made, Head games. Mostly scientific shows. :D
Movies:
Invictus, Up, Once, Slumdog Millionaire. There are others, and I would describe why I like them so much, but that would take a lot of time. This year, I’ll start recording which movies and why I like them, so I’ll have a better report at the end of the year.
Stay Tuned: My 2010 resolutions.
