August 8: Scary

For the record I wrote a very long blog entry on a notepad app on my phone, however I could not figure out how to save the document and when the screen went black I lost it. So I will try to write it again from memory but I can't make any promises about how great it will be. Then again, look at what I'm up against so far this month... one line movie reviews.
As my summer slips away and the fall semester creeps closer I realize that I am unbelievably unprepared for NaNoWriMo. I think that I will abandon the internet during the month of November. I NEED to think of a story line. I promise I'm better at writing stories than I am at blogs. I had a fanfiction.net account and a lot of people subscribed to my stories. I know, I know, fanfiction stories aren't much to brag about but I wrote stories constantly from the time I was 13 to just past 17. Once I started college I didn't want to tell people that in my free time I wrote stories based off of other stories, so I stopped writing them. I still have a whole composition book full of ideas but they'd be too hard to convert from an already existing world to one of my own without feeling guilty.
While I'm on the subject of feeling guilty I should say that I've felt guilty every time I've hit "Submit Post" this month, with the exception of the first month... sort of. I'm going to concentrate on making these blog entries interesting, in case anyone happens to stumble upon it someday.

August 7: The Women

I'm currently watching The Women. So far it's funny and I like it. I'm still getting used to Meg Ryan's face.

August 6: Love/Hate

If there's one thing I hate it's when people think I don't or can't understand what they're saying. I hate feeling inferior.
I just heard that Glee will be starting September 9th so that lifted my mood slightly. It could also be the fact that everyone has finally left me alone.
I dyed my hair last night with my sister. It looks pretty much exactly the same, just tinted.

One of these days I'll write a blog that's longer and talking about one thing for more than one sentence.

August 5: The Singular Sensation

So I'm single once again. It's been a while but I'm positive that this is better. I'm not really in the mood to blog right now.

August 4: Fish Tanks and

I have a 60 gallon aquarium but I can't have fish in my house because of "possible water damage" since we're only renting. But! I can get another pet that will live in an aquarium. I was thinking about a chinchilla or some kind of rodent. Anybody have any ideas?

I thought about opening this blog entry with a synopsis of Driving Lessons as a joke but I actually love that movie. It's very well done and the script is very witty.

Right now my ringtone is Blink from the Chameleon Circuit album. Probably one of my favorites. My musical suggestion for the day is Chameleon Circuit.

August 3: December Boys

Hopefully all of my blogs wont be the title of a movie with a Harry Potter character in it. December Boys is a pretty good movie. If this movie and Ballet Shoes switched endings they'd be awesome. This movie is all about orphans trying to get adopted (-3) and has Daniel Radcliffe in a tight shirt ALL the time (+10).

That's all for now, I suppose.

Join me tomorrow when I talk about Driving Lessons. :-)

Aug 2: Ballet Shoes

I rented the movie Ballet Shoes (with Emma Watson) this week. It's a great movie but the ending is too quick. There is the most climactic scene and then it's over.

Wow, this blogging thing is probably going to be pretty boring.

August 1: The Introduction

So it begins, my "blog every day in August" project. I have a feeling this month is a good month to start because my first dog training class starts, I go back to school, and I've really started trying to work on myself. I'd like to develop a better vocabulary, as well as better people skills. So, yay!

First things first, I don't think I've ever actually introduced myself on this blog... or any social networking site. So here we go... second grade style:
My name is Brianna (you can call me Bri). I go to college. I want to be an animal trainer (specifically dolphins, sea lions, seals and Shamu... y'know the usual.) I really enjoy reading but I don't do it nearly enough. I love YouTube and how it allows people to become friends who would have never met otherwise. I desperately want to be a part of that. I love getting letters in the mail, so if anyone wants to be my pen pal I promise I'll write back.

I have a feeling this is going to become a video. Probably like, right now. I'll post a link tomorrow.

Maybe I'll figure something to put here, but for now it's just:
Subscribers: 15

(Yes, I do adore Hayley Hoover. How did you know?)

Yes, I'm still alive.

I know I've been off the internet for a while... except for Twitter. I'm sorry. Hopefully I can make it up to you with a new video? No? Damn.

I've been so busy for the past few weeks. Info in the video.

I'm thinking about getting a Mac, but I want to set a goal for myself before I do so that it feels like a reward for something instead of feeling like I bought something because I want it. 50 subscribers? Is that a reasonable goal to set for myself? How about one person actually reading this blog?

Maybe I can do a Blog Every Day in August (aaah)... with a sum up of my blogging week in a video every Friday?

More Pictures.

The last one is my favorite. She's so cute and soft looking.

New Camera!

Today I became the proud owner of a second-hand Nikon D40! I'm so excited. Here are a few pictures of my dogs Cloe, Zoe and Duke.

Blogtv

Alex and Alan are on blogtv right now and I've been watching since I got off work at ten. It's now 3:30. I don't know why I can't just close the screen... it's the obsession I have, I guess.

My Goals

Disclaimer: I will be editing this often. Maybe.


My goals for this summer are:

1. Posted at least 10 decent videos. Am I crazy?
   
2. One of the ten videos must be a song that I've learned.
3. Blog at least once a week (I don't think this should be a problem)
4. Exercise more. (note to self when feeling lazy: just do it while you watch daytime tv, fatty)
5. Go to the beach more often, after all it's only a 30 minute drive.
6. Update twitter at least once.
   
7. Buy a new camera.
8. Actually take pictures on DailyBooth and LookBook.
   
9. Start seriously saving up for a mac.
10. Get a new phone.
11. Dress up more.
12. Realize myself.
    

Deadline: Sunday August 23, 2009

I'm ready to become a part of something big.

I've been alive for a while now and in this time I've learned at least one thing. If I feel the need to do something, I should just do it.

I have a diary entry from December of 2006 saying that I should start video blogging on youtube because a few people do it and I think it would be fun to have friends on the internet in a totally non-creepy way. Well I made a few but never posted them. Why? no idea. Then 2007 rolls around and just about everyone and their mother gets a youtube channel and people are getting famous and then the partner progam happens. It was pretty cool to watch and frustrating because I didn't get to be a part of that.

Pretty much the same thing happened with Harry Potter. I didn't speak up and become a big part of the fandom, I just watched it go by.

So I'm ready to be a part of something big. I'm ready to start using my voice. Are you ready to listen, watch and join me?

Random News

Man, I wish I would have actually interacted with the fandom when it was still new, I wish I would have known about wizard rock bands... I probably would have started one with my sister a long time ago. But now I feel like its waaaay too late to even talk about harry potter anymore because it feels mostly over.

I'm not going to the 789 gathering because I may be going to London!!! whoo!

I have been reading Haley Hoovers blog religiously for a few weeks now and I have this empty space where our friendship should be. Hayley if you find this: I'm sorry my grammar and English in general is disgusting.

Listening to Jet

I like this band a lot. I have for quite a while but never bought any of their music. Just waited for it to come on mtv hits. I just bought two of their cd's on itunes and I like them a lot.


I've been taking motorcycle lessons. I think I'll get my license within the next month depending on when I can get to the dmv. I'm excited about getting my own bike to commute when the weather is nice. It'll definitely save gas.

my prom dress

789 gathering

I'm going to try and convince my boyfriend to go with me because I don't want to go alone. But I only want to go if I'll know some people too. So over the next few months I'm going to try to make as many friends on youtube as I possibly can. I think this is a good challenge for myself because that is the whole reason I got a youtube account. I wanted to be a part of this community. So now is a great time to get myself out there. I'm really excited.

If you want to be my friend just drop me an e-mail. Solilobri@gmail.com

Contest!

So there are contests galore going on now. Elizabeth Scott (amazing author) is holding a contest everyday for 22 days starting today leading up to the release of her book Something, Maybe. I'm very excited about it and you should be too!

me me me

I'm getting better at guitar.
I'm working more.
I'm reading a lot less, mostly because of school.
I've been on youtube a lot more.

Learning Guitar

So I got a new guitar for Christmas. Fender StarCaster Acoustic. It's so much better than my old one by about a million times. (this one actually stays in tune for more than an hour)

So I need some songs to learn. I only know chords, so nothing too hard.
