Texas

I've been home for a couple days now. My dad and I got home from our trip at 1:00 AM. We live an hour and a half from the nearest airport, so my dad drove home. I ended up sleeping in for school the next partly mostly to skip a test that I didn't have time to study for. We had a great trip though. I loved San Antonio and Austin and both of the colleges we visited. I am definitely going to apply to both and will be sorely depressed if I don't get into either one. I have a pretty high chance of getting into at least one since I fit the description of the type of student they. I am very concerned about being able to get into the music program since I don't know how well someone has to play to get in, but I think I can get in.
When we were in San Antonio it was extremely hot and humid especially compared to where we live. My dad and I were walking on the riverwalk into downtown, and he's jabbering away about "the hot prairie sun." He said he could see Pa even though Pa was dead and that he was going to die soon. The whole time he was talking to Jethro. I don't know where he gets these stories, but he does. He has quite an imagination for a fifty year old man. He also kept talking about things he would do if there was a zombie apocalypse. He would let the guy who made my sandwich join our group, because he was very nice.
During our layover we didn't have much time to get to our plane, so we had to hurry. I got stuck behind this woman with her two kids that were running back and forth making it impossible for me to pass. When I finally saw my chance I hurried passed them, but I hear thud. The little girl that was probably two years old had ran into my suitcase and fallen face first. Of course she began to cry, and I turned and apologized. After that every time we saw a little kid crying my dad would say, "Hey Stacy, there's another kid you can hit your suitcase with."
The entire trip was very enjoyable. We were able to see a couple of new bands we hadn't heard of in concert, because we were in Austin. We saw Judah and the Lion and Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors. Both we're good, but I liked Judah and the Lion better even though they were the opening band.
I wish I was still there. I didn't want to come home at all. I really do hope I can move to down there for college.

Guilty Pleasure #4

I am still on vacation in Texas and was going to make this post yesterday, but I forgot. I have a T.V. show that I like to watch. I actually enjoy it more than I care to admit but that is besides the point. It is one of those teen T.V. show series, but it's not nearly as bad as Teen Wolf or Vampire Diaries. This week's guilty pleasure of mine is:
The T.V. show called "Awkward." I started watching, because I'm awkward and that's the name of the show, so naturally I thought it would be perfect for me which it kind of is. My favorite part about is the "Asian Mafia." My dad and I agree that every comedy is better with a funny Asian girl.

Missionary or No Missionary

It's my third day of spring break, and I still have accomplished nothing except catching up with two T.V. series and a little bit of reading. I did take my dogs for a walk today. I walked by my mom's place, but she wasn't home. I think she was going to take my nephew to the zoo. I was supposed to go with her, but I think she's mad at me even though I'm not really sure why. I politely asked her to not do things I didn't want her to do. She got all upset even though she said she wasn't upset I knew she was. She didn't go to the St. Patricks Day concert that she said she would go to so that's a big sign that she's mad at me. Also she didn't take me to the zoo with her and my nephew another sign that she's mad. At least I only have a year and a half to deal with her, because not only will I be going to college, but she is supposedly becoming a missionary. I have no idea what made her decide to do that, but she seems to want to go. She already passed the interview for it, and she's trying to sell her house so I'd say she's pretty serious about it, but it's hard to tell if she'll go through with it. Brandon doesn't seem to think she will, because she won't be able to drink or smoke. I guess we'll find it if she does it or not.

Guilty Pleasure #3

This morning I give to you guilty pleasure number three. It would have to be my love for the character Sherlock Holmes. I'm sure I've mentioned the character before on other posts, but I love the character. I watched the movies Robert Downey Jr. made, the BBC series of Sherlock is when I really began to love Sherlock Holmes. He plays violin amazingly, solves crimes, is socially inept, and much more. The one thing about Sherlock Holmes that I dislike very much is that he smokes tobacco. Other than that Sherlock Holmes is perfect. I have decided to read the originally books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle whenever I get the chance. I also desperately want to go to London to see St. Bartholomew's Hospital, because it was an important place in the BBC series. I even told my dad that I'm convinced he's real and that I was going to find him when I hypothetically go to London in the future. Just to clear things up that was a joke. I don't really think Sherlock Holmes is real person but if he was that would be awesome.

Spring Break

I'm slightly sad in this current moment. The reason is I finished watching all the episodes of The Newsroom available, and it's only the first full day of my spring break. I still have until Thursday before I leave for vacation. My dad and I are going to go look at colleges in Texas near Austin. Since Austin has become the live music capital of the world I have a very strong desire to go there, but I have to spend the next few days finding something to do with myself. I was going to watch The Newsroom, but I finished it which required me to watch somewhere around ten one-hour episodes. As you may have already gathered I have no life. I need to find another T.V. series to watch or read as many Sherlock Holmes books I can. I'll probably end up doing the latter of those two options.

Guilty Pleasure #2

I apologize for the delay in telling you my second guilty pleasure. This second one is one of my favorite movies of all time which just so happens to be a kids movie. It is Fantastic Mr. Fox.
If you haven't heard of it here is a link:

I remember I was very reluctant to watch this movie thinking it was going to be awful. It is exactly the opposite. I have watched this movie multiple times and still love it.

Guilty Pleasure #1

Since it's that time of year, and by that time of year I mean Lent, I'm not actually going to give anything up even though I'm supposed. Instead I'm going to post a guilty pleasure of mine at the beginning of every week ending with Easter Day.
For this week my guilty pleasure is the game Tiny Tower.
For those of you that haven't heard of this game here is a picture of it:

I've been playing this game since my dad gave me his old iPad which was in November. I have 86 towers so far, and I'm still counting. I was able to get a friend of mine to play it.
