I was obviously not a great writer...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Home</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Home is</div><div style="text-align: center;">singing in the shower,</div><div style="text-align: center;">my sister scaring me when I am dancing along</div><div style="text-align: center;">in my room,</div><div style="text-align: center;">looking at my clothes trying to figure</div><div style="text-align: center;">out what to wear. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Home is where I </div><div style="text-align: center;">hug my piglet late at night, </div><div style="text-align: center;">watch movies in the dark, </div><div style="text-align: center;">smell the food my dad cooks each night</div><div style="text-align: center;">for dinner, </div><div style="text-align: center;">looking out my window and seeing a full moon. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Home is me throwing the ball for my dog as she runs after it. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Home is </div><div style="text-align: center;">a special place no one can make for you.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Home is celebrating holidays with my family. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I love my home. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWbo4Udw-p6950Oc9QUj7j_wJOAEkxmy4kmXYil7zww2mSrWv7ARGDmhrH035eBFHBoxCwcPCsCmosNk1Khqm0c90-R2zbX4DScT02mzDJTXOMyRU_rJfd8iAPnt0XMaaKGqFBx5YX2_M/s1600/mommy+and+me.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWbo4Udw-p6950Oc9QUj7j_wJOAEkxmy4kmXYil7zww2mSrWv7ARGDmhrH035eBFHBoxCwcPCsCmosNk1Khqm0c90-R2zbX4DScT02mzDJTXOMyRU_rJfd8iAPnt0XMaaKGqFBx5YX2_M/s640/mommy+and+me.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">After reading this, I decided to try and write another poem in the same model about what home means to me today. Excuse my horrible writing and cliches. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Home</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Home is </div><div style="text-align: center;">the taste of sweet dr. pepper </div><div style="text-align: center;">just chilled perfectly on ice.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Home is</div><div style="text-align: center;">watching the stars dance across the sky </div><div style="text-align: center;">while laying on my bed late at night; </div><div style="text-align: center;">my skylight like a window into the universe so much bigger than me. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Home is</div><div style="text-align: center;">the good things and the bad things, the little things and the big things, the overwhelming things and the underwhelming things, the surprises and the expectations, all rolled up into one. </div><div style="text-align: center;">It is being able to watch tv, or to read a book, or to take a bath all alone, and know that someone who is loving and who is caring will be waiting for you when you are done. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Lately, home is listening to my mom play the hymns on the piano all through the holiday season.</div><div style="text-align: center;">For me, like some aspects of family, home is ever changing and adapting and like all the sayings say, home is not a place. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Home is the feeling you get when your dogs greet you everyday without fail. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Home is feelings, home is tastes, smells, sounds, and all those people who have ever touched you. Home is memories and moments that replay in your mind like little movies. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Home is not just one thing, it is a montage. It is like a quilt that constantly grows. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I love my home. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

In the past, I have had them double wrapped but never have I experienced a quadruple wrapping! I felt quite special. It made my day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

In fact, I normally think that rainbow christmas lights are among the tackiest things in the world, but this year I did not feel the same way. So I spent a few hours tacking up some lights all around my play room in the windows. I cannot explain how rewarding the feeling is when you plug in all the lights at the end and they all come on.

Unfortunately, in my house the christmas tree is no where near my room. Therefore, when I found this christmas tree scented candle, I was ecstatic! This meant that I could always have the smell of christmas with me! For those of you pine tree scent lovers of those of you with a fake tree, I definitely recommend this candle. There is no other way to put it: it smells beautiful! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ2CYpNOKy69d29V9gCfR2bxTFG9gLs5qCPyl26XE9JDn8O8Nvhgk2avW-vHcHuw7Sg9a2OebyrXWpki6ImHrKuU3mBgxvkZeITvPlbXOi31KRgq-OwAWxTwap5y03F9PgnpNlc3698Os/s1600/IMG_9906.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ2CYpNOKy69d29V9gCfR2bxTFG9gLs5qCPyl26XE9JDn8O8Nvhgk2avW-vHcHuw7Sg9a2OebyrXWpki6ImHrKuU3mBgxvkZeITvPlbXOi31KRgq-OwAWxTwap5y03F9PgnpNlc3698Os/s400/IMG_9906.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><br />

Each day, I will post the activity or holiday themed thing that I am doing as a little "12 days of Christmas."<br />
On the first day of Christmas, I <i>decorated </i>my room. I wanted to make my room a fun little winter wonderland and now just looking at the twinkly lights makes me smile. There is something so unique and special about Christmas lights. The way that they glow never ceases to amaze me. <br />

Oh, well it was a couple months back. It was blazing hot in Austin Texas and it was my second year to go to ACL!<br />
Coldplay, Young the Giant, Kanye, Stevie Wonder, City and Colour, Foster the People, Awolnation, Fleet Foxes... and ARCADE FIRE! I was so fortunate to be able to see all of these amazing bands, and so many more!<br />
My favorite part besides the wonderful music is always the atmosphere. I love the lights, the colors, the movement and the energy. It makes me feel like a complete teenager when I am there and that is a GREAT feeling!<br />

Second of all, like most teenage girls my age, I <i>hate </i>cleaning my room! Surprisingly however, I quite enjoy the occasional reorganizing of my make up, jewelry, or clothes. I guess seeing everything that I own, inspires me to create new looks and to wear things that I often forget about because they have slipped back into the deep dark depths of my cabinets. My favorite accessory: gold necklaces. I have a good amount of them, and this necklace tree is the perfect place to hang them!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk3RrG7qM_9uJqxEvekm3sX33FBGwRv7HVXa57pfaY6v4pY48ZRUAsfSoYgfGzxKBIC6d6u9jLJYx3zHQm8JUjAmDJA8WvKV2azHNQ7_w8AgAAUUk8zHz8OjGfvpzxlxZq8py9y_6XfkU/s1600/IMG_2415.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk3RrG7qM_9uJqxEvekm3sX33FBGwRv7HVXa57pfaY6v4pY48ZRUAsfSoYgfGzxKBIC6d6u9jLJYx3zHQm8JUjAmDJA8WvKV2azHNQ7_w8AgAAUUk8zHz8OjGfvpzxlxZq8py9y_6XfkU/s640/IMG_2415.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br />

After all, isn't that why I have a blog and all? I only realized this fully however, when I visited the Newseum in Washington D.C. over thanksgiving break. This is a wonderful museum; it traces the influence, history, and evolution of the media from hundreds of years back. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The western side, graffitied and painted in protest of the limitations to the personal freedoms in Soviet Germany. I have always admired the actions of standing up for one's rights, but here it is beautiful. It is creative and artistic, and riveting.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU02DyNL146rEFOnKArXBE4sjRXkyRVzT0pRTOTGUxX2aWpNW-PBvsIdie2b-Olb7FAVOcy7oE31ovYNaGf_M8Wf-jvmFhstliIfLmoIGt6X8MWfLACVKgLCzzh46vssyUhfhymMm6aEA/s1600/IMG_2893.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU02DyNL146rEFOnKArXBE4sjRXkyRVzT0pRTOTGUxX2aWpNW-PBvsIdie2b-Olb7FAVOcy7oE31ovYNaGf_M8Wf-jvmFhstliIfLmoIGt6X8MWfLACVKgLCzzh46vssyUhfhymMm6aEA/s320/IMG_2893.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Sorry for my disappearance the past few weeks or shall I say months. It has been a crazy fall, and I have changed quite a bit. </div><div><br />
</div>My New Obsessions...<div>1. Songs that are solely piano and vocals. My favorite right now is 14 year old british singer Birdy (her songs Without a Word and Shelter are beautiful)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/3DGf00VhtAw?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div><br />
</div><div>2. The color brown. For me, brown is the new black. Other colors that seem to be catching my eye: mustard, maroon, navy, and camel. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRIctBtzQy24U8gQJj3-zSgENsp5b_TPDc6VeIbXrgSh2FYVX0B9SNkACq85DDGgsBOhQC7OsHySXNiu0XkEXQ9hUQI_SwsYi3WPlPxz6Gy4px0qftVg_IPpGRhue6Y_CpqUSXE0i7jFE/s1600/colors.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRIctBtzQy24U8gQJj3-zSgENsp5b_TPDc6VeIbXrgSh2FYVX0B9SNkACq85DDGgsBOhQC7OsHySXNiu0XkEXQ9hUQI_SwsYi3WPlPxz6Gy4px0qftVg_IPpGRhue6Y_CpqUSXE0i7jFE/s320/colors.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br />

</div><div>4. Cape coats. I know that these sound dreadful, but I am dying to find one!

I am not sure of the author, but I thought it was sweet.<br />
<br />
Today, a friend and I had a<br />
discussion about dinosaurs<br />
and came to the conclusion<br />
that t-rexs were only angry<br />
and aggressive because<br />
their arms were too short<br />
to hug one another.<br />
<br />

I focused on the two awkward spaces that I have between my dormer windows and the rest of my room. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In the right one, I decided to <i>finally </i>put up the hammock I had been meaning to put up for over a year. I bought it two summers back in Asia and it's probably one of my best purchases. After a few adventures with putting it up, I now think it is the most relaxing and comfortable things in my room! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnDNpWGNl3P6qCiHK0HLRKr3_4NnZucx3AgmlT5cROmbJ7CSmGeR2mfdBQF5npEQgxkRX6_IGFbchFeToCLLt3pjxD6AE4tr9G-TR-XHQSYJhz6emmR1sNtzh6sGi9-otrk20XfljH7oU/s1600/IMG_2385.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnDNpWGNl3P6qCiHK0HLRKr3_4NnZucx3AgmlT5cROmbJ7CSmGeR2mfdBQF5npEQgxkRX6_IGFbchFeToCLLt3pjxD6AE4tr9G-TR-XHQSYJhz6emmR1sNtzh6sGi9-otrk20XfljH7oU/s400/IMG_2385.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div> I also put up these drawings (sticker things) of antique bikes. They weren't too hard to put on the walls and they are so cool!<br />

I also put up some paintings that I had made earlier in the week.<br />

These are a couple of the paintings I made. I created them by using colored bubble soap! They were so much fun to make!<br />

My newest obsession, and hopefully collection is glass jars. I love old antique ones so much! So I placed a couple on the window sill to collect and reflect light.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDn9iCSh8hAxoZFky04-bAwnQW_oIrNC0Ox_n1CVReyRPxD3whkzm-EVDFR4ivT2sfbQzfEXxecFcCBUB11W8WJmTpLwrRa7CsqYM1gdiL2pnP5xAJXegrEKy7SQF-qn0HpyA0oUWgANg/s1600/IMG_2408.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDn9iCSh8hAxoZFky04-bAwnQW_oIrNC0Ox_n1CVReyRPxD3whkzm-EVDFR4ivT2sfbQzfEXxecFcCBUB11W8WJmTpLwrRa7CsqYM1gdiL2pnP5xAJXegrEKy7SQF-qn0HpyA0oUWgANg/s400/IMG_2408.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> I decided to make one of the jars a wish jar. I learned about the wish jar concept from my friend's sister's blog, Lady Sadie, and she got the idea from the author, Keri Smith. As you can see, I have already filled my jar with many wishes that I hope come true! One has already!!<br />
