There are certain songs out there. Of course, you are thinking. There are angry songs, sad songs, love songs, mean songs, love songs, break up songs, and some more love songs. The songs I want to talk about, though, are songs that make you happy. So either their mood is happy, or maybe you just connect them to a happy moment for some reason?
I am rather unprepared for this discussion. You know, I only have myself to go off of. I could have done a little survey or something, but I just thought of this somewhat late at night while listening to a song that makes me happy! So here goes.
The song, at least currently, that makes me happy is Season of Love by Shiny Toy Guns. Now, you might not know this song. I found it through the end of a Gossip Girl episode. (To be specific, the ending of the Season 2 Finale.) This is kind of a big deal, actually.
I am sure there are fans of the band that are angry at all us Gossip Girl watches saying "oh this song is so cool," while we don't even listen to the band. I understand where they are coming from, but I don't have enough itunes money or time of my Christmas day time to check out the rest of the band. Sorry.
As mentioned before, I found this song while watching Gossip Girl. I am going to share some Gossip Girl information now, so skip if you'd like. Basically all of season 2, I've been wanting Chuck and Blair to (finally) date. Everyone knows they are the best couple of GG! So they've come close to it in the season, but it's never actually happened.
You can bet that during the finale it finally happened. It was the perfect scene, in my opinion at least. Chuck apologized for not saying "I love you" back to Blair, and he'd even gone around Europe to get her presents! It was sweet. And then he said he loved her! And smiled! (Gosh, I love a Chuck Bass smile!) And then they started kissing and he kept saying "I love you" while they were kissing and it was just a great Chuck and Blair moment.
(Another one of my favorite Chuck and Blair moments is when Chuck is standing near the edge of the roof and she gets him to come down and they are hugging and he apologizes, because he didn't care, but he knew that she cared. Of course Jack Bass was there-he is so horrible-so that was a slight damper on the scene. Now back to the topic!)
So during that scene, there is the song, Season of Love playing. And then as the scene ended it got louder. Basically there are parts of the songs where the chorus(?) is the band singing "love, love, love." It's really nice sounding song, in my opinion at least. And the other lyrics are really creative, and so the song in all is really nice.
Whenever I think or hear of the song, it makes me happy. It's a bit sad, but seeing Chuck and Blair together finally makes me happy. Like, two people finally worked out their problems and faced the fact that they are in love and did something about it. And they are both obviously so happy. It makes me just think of love. The song and the scene.
Remember when I used to ask questions at the end of every post? (That wasn't one.) Well, I've got one to ask this time! Maybe I haven't been asking because I didn't have anything to ask, or was worried no one would answer back. So if you are reading this, be brave and reply! Besides, it would mean a lot to me. Unless it's mean...!
Q: What is a song that makes you feel happy?

185. Carol of the Blogs
Why, yes, hello. It's me, (not) again. I would apologize for not writing new posts... but then I would seem guilty. Which I am! But I don't want to waste a whole post saying how sorry I am (which I am) and how I should have made more time (which I should have.) So here goes the excuse and then I am done: finals. Done!
So today is officially my winter break! No more school until January 10th, and yes, it is nice. Already I am not exactly sure what I will be doing, but I will think of something. I will have all that awesome family stuff around Christmas, but the few days before going back to school should be blissfully boring. By that time I might be bored, however. We'll see how it goes.
Remember how I wanted to do something fun? Like, a goal for myself in the New Year? I am thinking I will read 100 books. Since rereading is fun, I will also allow myself to reread books. There is no specific number, I do want this to be fun after all. I think the neatest part will be recording all the books I read. I'll be able to go back and either say, "Oh wow, that was the first time I read that book? I love that series now!" Or, "I can't believe I reread Harry Potter 5 times that year..."
This is a short post because I don't know what else to write. I'm really sorry! Oops, I said I wasn't going to be like that in this blog. Anyways. The title comes from Carol of the Bells, a personal favorite Christmas song. Anyone else love Christmas time? I do!
Bye for now then. :-)

180. I hugged Santa Claus.
Yes, I hugged Santa, and I don't even believe in him. Now, I hope there isn't anyone out there reading this offended by that. I was once too a Santa believer. I clung to the hope of his realness much longer than the normal student. Probably fourth grade? But I by then I was forming doubts. Everyone around me led me to believe he wasn't real.
I obviously know he isn't real now. In fact, I have thought of a hypothetical situation in my future. One day, I might have children, as many do. And on that day (or many, really) will I tell my children about Santa Claus? I mean, once I learned about Santa not being real, I was offended about my parents lying to me. It also caused me to ask the question. Lying about Santa is something many, many parents do. It makes their children happy. But does that make it okay? And really, doesn't Santa take away from Christmas? If your kids thought you were the ones giving them the loving gifts off from the start, would they feel more loved? Or if you are a religious household, maybe spend more time on the true meaning of Christmas, instead of wondering if reindeer can fly?
That being said, Christmas is my favorite time of the year! I love it, even though I do have that whole problem. I start listening to Christmas carols on Thanksgiving, and pretty much don't stop till after Christmas. Like anyone, I love to receive presents. I also like to give them, who doesn't love finding the perfect present for someone you care about? And seeing all your family is awesome too. And Church services, at least mine, tend to be more exciting and interesting then the normal ones. No offense to my Church, but it can get a bit dry sometimes. And last, but probably forgetting other things, the yummy food is, as always, a bonus.
I am in the Christmas mood right now, as you can tell, because I went to a Christmas concert tonight. On top of that, it really snowed! This made driving to and from the concert difficult, but I still enjoyed the snow. By the way, I hugged Santa at the concert.
The concert was actually quite interesting. Our city's pop orchestra was performing the first half, and then the second half a choir was added in. My grandma was in that choir. The music was quite lovely. They had a lot of the major Christmas tunes! Carol of the Bells, my favorite, was really excellent! Not that I am biased or anything! (I might be.)
It was nice to go to a quality concert. This isn't something I normally do, and so it was new and interesting. I went with my mom and grandparents, so it wasn't exactly the best group. I always think going with friends makes things even more fun, but family time is important too.
Tomorrow night is my! chorus production. I am nervous about two of the songs, but otherwise I am pretty excited! I don't have any solos, but that's alright by me I suppose. Last year I had a solo, What Child Is This? It wasn't the full song, but it was a couple lines and was really great! I love the song, and it was my first solo, so I was rather proud.
I like our songs this year. We have a really pretty Ave Maria, but it is a difficult one that I am worried about. Another difficult one is "And The Angels Sang," and I don't like it as much, but it still has its nice parts. We sing the "hark the herald angels sing..." one also, and that might be my favorite song! It's so... majestic! I am not sure if I am happy about singing "I saw mommy kissing santa claus" or not. It can be a somewhat annoying song, but hopefully we will sound good enough so that it won't be annoying. It's somewhat a jazz-ish version, so maybe that will make it better.
Well that is all for now! Have a lovely Saturday tomorrow. Is it snowing where you live? If so... drive safe! But enjoy the snow. Because even though it's cold and annoying at times, it really is pretty if you sit indoors and look at it through the window under a blanket or sweatshirt!!!

175. A Blog about Acne! Will it be coollike? Maybe.
I have mentioned that I like Charlie, right? Well if I haven't then I should I love Charlieissocoolike. I am not going to go on a rant about him because that could be mildly embarrassing and not what this paragraph was going to be about when I started writing it. So I am going to hit enter and move on.
The title is from the song "A Song About Acne" by Charlieissocoollike. (I remembered Song Wednesday!) I chose this song not because I am a fangirl, but because I think the song is a good one! Not just for the catchy tune either. The whole meaning of the song is amazing! He sings about how acne is not important.
As a teenager I can definitely say my skin has made me stressed out before. But when I am freaking out, I really just need to sit down and listen to this song. Because really, what does a zit matter in the end? It will be gone within days, and everyone has most likely had one before. You aren't alone, so many teenagers are in the same place. Charlie is smart enough to sing about it and make us realize it. I personally like to listen to him talking about worrying about acne is the wrong thing to do then an article by some doctor I've never even heard of before.
So yep, I hope you found that interesting!
There is something I forgot to mention yesterday! Or at least I believe it was yesterday. I can't even remember my correct days? This is horrible. Right, yes, it was yesterday I believe. Sorry for this confusing paragraph, maybe you should just pretend you never read it. (This is the part where you wonder why I didn't delete it. I don't know, I took the time to write it I suppose.)
It snowed for the first time this winter!! Now this is exciting because as far as winter things go, snow is good. I would rather have a cold winter day have snow than just be cold. Ice and slush are just cruel... but snow is pretty and fun! Also, it can lead to snow days. Ice can to, but it does so in a more dangerous way so that's not the best.
But anyways, I discovered the flurries on my way to the bus after school. I was all happy, but very cold since I hadn't realized I would need to zip my winter coat up. The snow didn't last for long or cover much ground, but it's the thought that is now is officially winter. To me at least.
It snows during winter in my area. It's not a huge thing where we always have snow, but we do get it. Once we had three snow days in a row! Or something like that. It was very awesome. I love snow days. They make us stay in school later in the summer, but I would rather have school for a day longer then, and have a nice break during the winter. It's much more appreciated in the middle of the week, than the last week of school.
Last thing.
I made a blog post about Nanowrimo ending, or when I finished at least. Now that I am done writing, I have to say, I surprisingly miss it. The challenge was fun in a not fun way. It gave me something to do, that felt like I was actually accomplishing something. It got me to write a story longer than any story I've ever written before! Do I like my story? Part of it, yes. So I would say my goal was reached!
So now, I feel like there is this void in my day, where I would have been writing, and now I am just rewatching Greek episodes. I want to have another project! I am just not sure what to do. I mentioned I am rereading the Unfortunate Events series, but I still need to go to the library to get the ones I need next. I only have one more book to go that I actually own, and I can read through one of those in a day, two at tops. (At least for the beginning ones. I am finishing 2 currently.)
So projects... besides schoolwork that is. We are having finals in... a couple weeks, so that's really nervewracking. I am sorry about this blog, I feel like it didn't really have much of a point, or anything hugely interesting about it. I miss having a subject to actually blog about! Maybe I will do another Harry Potter blog. Chapter One was before nanowrimo, seems like ages ago.
I need ideas for projects! Reading books is always something fun to do, but I need a lot of books to make me happy!! I could blog, blogging is always fun, but if I don't have fresh ideas, I won't have fun writing, and I am sure anyone reading this wouldn't have fun reading it either. Writing would also be fun, but I don't have any ideas for a new story. Plus, I am worried if I try to write a story without the challenge of nanowrimo, it will just fail without an ending like the other non-nanowrimo stories. So help!
