Procrastination

You could say that I'm a master procrastinator, some think it's a gift, others think it's a curse. However, I've never not completed a project due to procrastinating. The reason, I'm talking about this is because I'm putting off packing and cleaning. I hate both of those things, to the max. Well actually I don't mind packing, I just really hate cleaning. So I thought I'd take the time and share a little bit about summer.

I've been really busy working, and very little hanging out with friends, in a day I'll be leaving on my mission trip for the summer, and I'm super excited, it's usually my favorite week out of the summer, but I have to say that this year I have a lot of expectations because last year was just so good. My group last year was like a second family to me, and I still keep in contact with almost all of them! I just hope it's a little less ghetto than Milwaukee last year!

I just got a new job today at my dad's work as a temp, I'm hoping that I'll have at least a little fun while working, they pay well, and hopefully I'll be working close to full time! Lord knows it'd help me with school!

I have the best Godparents ever, the rule is that I'm not suppose to get presents after I turn 18, but they gave me 2 tickets to valleyfair and 50 dollars this year(when I turned 19), officially best Godparents ever!

SYTYCD "premiered" last night with the top 20, always my favorite show during the summer!

In a little over a week I'll be going to a Jack's Mannequin concert AND I CAN'T WAIT! My friend Morgen and I like these two bands (Jack's Mannequin, and Something Corporate), both headed by the same person, so last year SC came to town, and this year JM is! EXCITING!

Also this summer, I'm hoping to go to a cabin that my parents won in a silent auction, and possibly to a friend's cabin(I'm not sure, I have yet to actually hang out with her this summer!), and possibly to St. Louis!


Well, I suppose I should go be productive, just a little update!

music videos

Well following suit of the last post, here are some more covers by "small people" (meaning kids) doing famous songs to start is a cover of Lady Gaga's "Born this Way" which is actually a very catchy song!

So great that a girl her age has that kind of voice!

And the original:


of course we can't forget one of my favorite shows version of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream"
Honestly I love this version a lot more than I've ever liked Katy Perry's!

Original!


Bohemian Rhapsody: Gotta love the white satin in the original!!!


And just because this is hilarious:

I knew Rick Miller until we watched this in Anthropology one day. =]

more to come later! =]

I have words

I have things I want to write, but a) don't really want to sit down and write them and b) don't have them coherently put together in my mind. I haven't wrapped my head around everything yet, once I do I'll probably post something normal, for now here are my 2 favorite songs right now:

I love this video simply for the classic ballroom dancing in the middle of it.


This music video is kind of dumb, it's basically adele sitting in a chair singing the song.


Here's a version of Adele's song. I actually really like it except for a few minor parts where she seemed a little pitchy, I usually don't like when people cover songs(although I'm aware Adele did cover this) however, this is really the only version I know.
