I can't tell how many times I've written about snow. I can count at least three (including this one) on this blog. But for years and years, I've written about in diaries and journals. But it seems no matter how much I write about it, I can never really express the true magic and wonder that fills the air whenever it snows.It snowed again today. I went into the library to go check out some Christmas books, and when I stepped outside, it was falling. And after a quick trip to Walmart for some much needed Christmas wrapping supplies (including both...

I've always been a traditionalist at heart. I like to sit in the same chair at the dinner table. I like to eat my cereal out of the same bowls I have since I was a young girl. I even had a hard enough time when my mother decided to buy new furniture for our upstairs living room. I had an even harder time getting used to the new dish set she bought some five years ago. I like things the same. Through the years, changes have had to be made. Some of them small, like the dishes....

As some of you know, and many of you don't, my roommates and I have been on a large Gilmore Girls kick. And when I say "Gilmore Girls kick," I really mean "We've gone through the entire series in about a month and a half." Yes, ridiculous. Pathetic, even. But when you're about as boring as the three of us are, it tends to go that way.And so it would just make sense that watching the series, it would rub off on me and create questions in my mind, as does a good television show does.One of the questions recently popped into my brain while just having...

Once upon a time, I wrote a similar blog about snow. But tonight's a new night.Tonight was the first snow of the season. Mia and I were winding down for the evening, fiddling with our ipods, as do all twenty-something year olds.. All the sudden, she says "facebook says it's snowing!" and we turn around out the window to see the snow starting.I said, "Let's go outside!" and she was right with me. We immediately turned off the TV, threw on shoes, and rushed out the door.As we stepped outside, the snow was lightly falling. But it didn't matter. We...

Recently, there's been an uprising of film, and the analogue age. It's like I'm almost re-experiencing photography all over again. And I'm not the only one!Analogue cameras have now been recreated and produced, giving artists and photographers a newfound appreciation for the old age. Companies like LOMOGRAPHY are producing analogue cameras to produce different effects, like a fisheye camera, or the "helga" camera...each of them creating more creative and artistic shots than...

There's a peaceful serenity that calms my soul when I sit by a lake. Today is a calm day, although just several days ago the wind whipped the waves higher than some of the docks, shaking them with a force that almost rivaled a hurricane. Today, however, The waves lap ever-so-gently along the sand and I feel the warmth of the sun, which has now peered out from a string of clouds. It glows a warm yellow in the evening hour, shimmering off the lake's smooth surface.I squish...

This will probably be a slightly snarky post - so if you don't want to read it, then don't. Sometimes girls just don't know how to cut the drama.Tonight, I decided to go out for a walk. Before this, my friend had come in from outside to drop by my room. This was around 12:30. As she entered, she mentioned there was a guy and a girl on the 3rd floor stairwell - something that's a "grey area" in boundaries for opposite sexes to meet. Didn't think much of it.Later that night, I needed to clear my head - so I went out for a walk. About 1 am. they were...

I've recently discovered my love for a wonderful website called animoto.comThe genius' behind this website thought that America needed an easy and quick way to make videos of their photos set to music. What they created was, in fact, just that. This website is so easy to use my grandmother could maneuver her way through. And as quick as quick can be, a video with your photographs of a vacation, friends photo shoot, senior portraits, or day-to-day candids are thrust together in a great conglomeration.There are a few down-sides, however. Along with...

The 82nd annual Academy Awards filled the screens tonight. And while millions of viewers tuned in to see if Kathryn Bigelow would beat out ex-husband James Cameron for Best Director, or if Sandra Bullock could finally break through her RomCom facade and win Best Actress, the other portion of the world tuned in to see only one thing: The Fashion!The Oscars are known as the time where the biggest designers and actors' sense of fashion either flourishes or fails. And like other...
