Watch this. Those glasses are FREAKING BOMB! I want them. To make me look even cooler (even though that's not really possible, I'm cool enough already).
Wow. I really don't know what to say right now. And the funny thing is... I've actually been doing stuff! But I guess I don't quite know what to say.
Fun story though. I went with a friend to go test driving Mini Coopers. Why, you may ask? Because they are freaking awesome cars!!!! Have you not SEEN The Italian Job? But anyways, we first went to the one right by my house, but the guy there (David) was really really annoying. So we drove to the one by Newport Beach. And let me tell you, that was the best decision we made. The guy we started talking to there was AMAZING! You could tell that he really really loved the cars (he owned one himself) and we went on the most amazing test drive EVER. Seriously. This guy was the craziest/best driver ever. He took turns that were supposed to be taken at 25mph at at least 50mph. Then my friend drove. That was fun... but it was more fun when I GOT TO DRIVE!!!!! Then we really got to see what it can do. And they say women can't drive...
I've been listening to some country lately. If you have any interest, here's a couple songs.
Kiss a Girl by Keith Urban Cool music video too.
Wild At Heart by Gloriana The blonde one is a little annoying.
It Happens by SugarLand Very country voice, very funny lyrics.
My Front Porch Lookin' In by Lonestar Sooooo cute.
The Best Days of Your Life by Kellie Pickler FUNNY, but a little scary/sad.
Once I regain my words, I'll post again. Enjoy the songs. <3

Grandmas, beer, bluegrass, and a jolly good time.
Tonight, I went with my Grams and her friends to a pizza place where they play live bluegrass music on Saturday nights. It was awkward to get in there comfortably with my crutches, it looked very western-y weird, and I was the youngest adult there... the kids were running around playing video games. And you know what I texted my mom about 5 minutes after I got there? "Oh my gosh. This would be so much more enjoyable if I could drink."
At the time, I meant it. But as the night went on I found myself enjoying it more and more. I like listening to my Grams and her friends. They have some of the greatest stories. And it's so cool to hear about a time when things were so completely different I can't even begin to imagine it. In the car on the way home my Grams and her friend (Dorothy, cool name right?!) talked about how they met their husbands. Both husbands died years ago. And then my Grams and I had a good heart to heart.
Did you know that when our grandparents were growing up there were pretty much three careers for women? Nurse, teacher, or secretary. I don't think either of the women I were with tonight went to college. But I listened to them talking about the opportunities now... and how at the same time, they said they wouldn't change anything they had done. I want to look back on my life and know that I didn't "play it safe." Well, some things need to be played safe but others SHOULDN'T. So that's going to be my food for thought. Because right now, I think I'm playing it safe.
More to come!
Oh and btw, I'm now certified to teach paintball. I can take apart, reassemble, and refill the air tank thing on the paintball gun. The one thing I'm not so good at? Aiming.
