Paramore: The Only Exception [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

So has anyone heard of #MusicMonday before? I just saw this today and have decided to participate, at least for today.
This song is quickly climbing my personal charts due to it's greatness!
Artist: Paramore
Song: The Only Exception
Favorite Lyric: "And up until now I've sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness.
Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
Well you are the only exception..."

Lent/Princess Bride

Lent is upon us! For those of you who don't know what Lent is let me 'splain.
No, there is too much. Let me sum up.
(haha, that is a reference to the movie The Princess Bride. I have included a little clip for your viewing pleasure!)
Anyway, Lent is the time between Ash Wednesday and Easter (approx. 40 days) where Catholics generally give something up whether it be a food/drink or a thing/activity. For example, some people have given up Facebook, tv, all social media, or sweets, soda, carbs, etc. This is not limited to Catholics. It can be observed by anyone! Just know what it is meant to symbolize. This time of fasting from something is meant to symbolize the 40 days Jesus Christ spent fasting in the wilderness (Luke 4:1-2). You are generally supposed to give up something that would be difficult to go without so I have decided to give up ice cream. Yikes! Considering how much ice cream we eat at my house and that my birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks this is going to be tough! But hey, it's supposed to be!
So I encourage you to think about the meaning of Lent this season and consider why you give things up during this season.
Now for the clip from The Princess Bride I promised you all...

Ice Cream or Cookie Dough?

   In my efforts to keep this blog from becoming a place to rant or whine about silly little problems that mean nothing in the grand scheme of things I have been putting this off. However, I can't help but let it out just a little bit.
  So Thursday is coming up, what's a single girl to do?
I am trying to find a way to get out of the house because sitting with your parents watching tv all night is a sad way to spend Valentine's day. However, I don't have any plans that would take me out of the house for that day. There are plenty of events happening this weekend but that's not really what I am looking for. I don't necessarily think I need a real date for the night, just something to do for a little while. A reason to get dressed up, maybe? A way to not sit at home eating ice cream alone.
  I don't know, maybe I will eat cookie dough instead...  ;)

Cats! (not the musical)

So lately I have been thinking I would like to get a cat. This could be for a couple reasons:

1. Our cat of more than 15 yrs recently died.
2. I feel a little lonely sometimes and think a puppy would be a little more work than I would like to take on right now. (Btw, I am not against dogs either.)
3. I see all of these pictures and funny stories about my friends and their cats and think "How fun!"

However, I feel hesitant to actually acquire my own cat for a few more reasons:

1. One day when I move out I would probably be taking this cat with me and would subsequently have to pay more for pets in an apartment and would be limited to those apartments that allow them.
2. I fear I could end up as a crazy cat lady. Just me and my ten cats for company! ;)
3. What if this is like a phase that will pass and then I end up with a cat and no longer have the desire to keep it. That's just unfair to the cat. 

So now I am left with a decision that I do not know how to make and will probably just continue to ignore and put off for as long as I can. If you can offer any advice to me, please do!

In the meantime, here are some inspiring cat pictures!

Naive Thieves - "Grindin'"

So I have been noticing lately that I have been grinding my teeth a lot. This is probably a bad thing. Anyway, every time I realize what I am doing I think of this song. So I have shared it with you and hope you enjoy!

First things first

Hello Cyber World!
  I have decided to take that step into full blogging! I hope to use this as an outlet for my ideas, funny finds, honest opinions, and random questions that don't necessarily need an answer. I may not get things rolling very quickly or get it just right at first but I will be working on it! Expect to find cute things, funny things, delicious things, nerdy things, awesome things, delightful things, thoughtful things, and other things! I apologize for grammatical errors or opinions that don't match your own but I won't be taking it down. The purpose of the blog is to have an honest outlet. And a randomness outlet! :)
Here is a funny thing to get us started:
