Snail Mail

You know how exciting it was when you were younger, to get a letter in the mail?? (yes, we are that old, don't deny it) Well, now that snail mail has been outdated and is now used by all those awful bill collectors and anyone else who sends junk mail, you don't really look forward to it anymore, do you?

I know I don't, if you do, then, I'm proud of you? I personally don't know how to react if you enjoy getting bills in the mail....weirdo. (if it's actual letters from friends, then you're not a weirdo, don't worry)

Lately, my version of Snail Mail is e-mail. One of my friends joined the navy after he graduated high school and since he's now been sent off, he can't use his phone and text (we've become too dependent on instant gratification anyway) so he e-mails everyone. He's been a good friend of mine for a while, and I still get mad at myself that I never wrote him while he was at Basic...I know, I'm a horrible friend...don't hate me too much, I'm just REALLY forgetful.

I like e-mail better anyway. TOO many things get lost in the mail these days. Especially if you change your address and they KEEP sending your stuff to the old address...makes you wanna hurt someone!! I won't hurt anyone, I'm just saying.

 Sometimes I think the mail men take the 'snail' part of 'snail mail' literally. You know who you are.

So, now, instead of waiting for the mail man to get to the mail box with a letter, I check my inbox or wait for an e-mail notification on my phone from him. It's kind of like having a pen pal in a way...except..I've actually met him before and we've known each other since high school...eh, it's still like a pen pal.

My Apologies

I know it's been quite a while since I've last spoken to you...there has been A LOT going on lately! (ok, well technically I haven't been busy for about a month now, so, alright, I admit it, I'm lazy so sue me!)

Since the semester has ended there really hasn't been much to do...so I've finally gotten around to posting again. I might actually be more entertaining this summer, seeing as I'M GOING ON A ROAD TRIP WITH MY COUSIN NEXT WEEKEND! Yeah, I'm a bit excited :) I've never gotten to do the whole road trip thing...so it's a great feeling!! (I lied...I have been on a few road trips, but this is the first one with my cousin!)

To add to the excitement of a road trip next weekend...this weekend I'm doing something some people would say is a bit extreme...BUT I'm doing it anyway! That''s right, you guessed it (even though you probably didn't), I'm dying my hair blonde and getting blue streaks in it!! Don't judge me...you know you'd do it too if you could!

Alright, so I've been avoiding a subject, we need to get down to business...a sticky note on my computer constantly reminds of what I've left unfinished. Apparently I'm not good with finishing challenges where I'm not really "challenged" to actually do said task....I think you get where I'm going with this...yup, I still STILL  haven't finished the 30 day photo challenge...sad, I know :(

To make it up to you, I shall start where I left off...are you ready??

30 DAY PHOTO CHALLENGE
DAY 13:
A picture of your favorite band/artist

 How can I pick just one?!?! I'm sorry, I just can't do that...main reason being is that I have no idea who my favorite band/artist is. It all varies on my mood...so don't get mad, but I can't just choose ONE out of the MANY awesome artists!! It's madness! 

Am I right?? With some people I guess you're able to pick, but with my awful decision making skills, I can't pick just one artist...I like way too many! My friend, Lindsey, actually just told me that I listen to "yell-y" music...which, yes, I do...but I also listen to classical...my music range is wide. I will not just choose one.

What are you up to this summer?? Any road trips/adventures of your own?? Shoot me a comment and tell me what you're  up to!
