Well, first off, the music artist who I've talked about the most on this blog is... *drum roll* Owl City. (of course... ;)) So, I'm going to have a little "I love all of these Owl City songs" time. :) Just because I love the sound of Owl City. :)
"Good Time"
(catchiter then anythin' ;))
"Galaxies"
(first song I ever heard by him... got me hooked... {obviously} ;D)
"Fireflies"
(the song that made him famous...)
"Alligator Sky"
(LOVE LOVE LOVE)
Yeah, well, I love lots more by him, but I suppose these are enough for now, eh? ;) What are some of your favorite songs? What's your favorite Owl City song? :)
I'm still feeling pretty sick. But watching Finding Nemo, drinking tea, and eating hot soup's helping. :) Happy Valentine's Day!! I'll hopefully post a longer post soon. Sorry I'm so boring. =P Meanwhile, to keep you occupied, please tell me what your least favorite song by your favorite music artist is. ;)
The following song really reminds of Olivia McCarthy for some reason.....
I really love this song, from the first time I saw it on YouTube until right now where I'm listening to it off my computer.
"Still That Girl", by Britt Nicole.
(It gets kind of addicting to listen to.... =P)
(And, yes, I'm listening to this song right now.......)
I really like this song, and not only because it makes me want to go and write a story about a girl who feels like she's the last person on earth who anybody's ever going to love and then she finds God (which, by the way, makes me want to go and write......), but because it seems to speak to ME, too.
(By the way, if you get bored by my song ramblings, why don't YOU tell ME what YOUR favorite song(s) is/are???)
I don't know if I told you guys, but I'm in the process of trying to write a book about a girl named Piper Leap. (Awesome name, right?) Anyway, it's going to be called September Piper (please don't use this name), and it's about this girl, Piper, who lives in this town. She finds out from her friend, Casey, that Casey's going to be moving to New York. Casey has overheard her parents talking about this to each other, though they haven't personally broken it to her. Piper's horrified. What's she going to do without Casey?! Not to mention that she pretty much gets forced into having to take a computer class--computers have always confused her--and gets paired with her least favorite boy in the world. It gets even more complicated when people start coming to Piper for help with their problems...
I don't want to break all of the secrets, but that's part of the plot. Piper's just a Christian girl--kind of like me, but a little bit more like what I'd like to be (actually, she's quite a lot like me)--who's confused and sad that her friend's moving to New York and is trying to help her prepare herself for the separation of the loss of her friend. I've lost friends before, and I pour that feeling into this book. I really hope that you guys will like it if I ever get it published. :)
By the way, I haven't got really any news about the magazine publishing thingy about Connie. I had to send in a little bio and of course the book. I'm really excited about this. Please pray that people will be blessed through my writing. I really want God to work through me. I'm not the most bold person, but when I'm writing I can get a clear message in there. I just hope that I'll be able to bring somebody to Christ through the words that I write.
Well, I've already written like three huge paragraphs, and you guys probably have lots of other blogs that you're wanting to visit, so I'll bid you guys farewell. Thanks so much if you read the post!!! :)
Poem Girl? I'm pretty much positive that you've asked me for some kind of button... but I can't remember which. Wasn't it like a designing contest and a photo editing contest?? Anyway, please get back to me about that. Sorry, I've been really busy lately......... =P
Anyway, so, I just found out this Owl City song that I LOVE (ask anybody in my family =P) and I really wanted to share it with you. It's called Dreams and Disasters, and it's the reason that I actually started writing the Danielle Panabaker story (which I've mentioned on my other two main blogs...). Anyway, now what's this song sound like in the first place?
I don't know if YOU guys will like it, but I really did. =D
(I'm actually listening to it right now. "Weeee were alone, on the road driving fasssterrrrrrrr!" ;D)
Anyway, I don't know why THIS inspired me, but it did.
Actually, I kind of do know.
As you watch it, you know the first picture? The Owl City cover thiggy diggy? Well, anyway, that kind of made me imagine this world--the kind of strange, beautiful, lovely, unique, mystical world that Generation is supposed to be in. A place where Danielle would live.
And that's how it happened.
It kind of sounds like one of those "there was a big revolt and the government took over everything", but it's not really, and I decided not to make it Earth so that it wouldn't sound like our government is horrible or something. (I don't agree with a lot of the things the people in politics are doing currently, but as a Christian I don't believe in talking meanly about them.)
Anyway, so I called it Ayrth (haha, almost earth =P) and I actually managed to get it quite "cultured", as I like to say. That is, you really feel like it's a real place and it doesn't just feel like one of those fake things. It's like you don't have to trust my word that it's there. You can experience it for yourself. I was actually pretty happy at how I managed to develop it. =D
(Random moment--"Faaaaollow the lighhhhhhhhhht, through the dreamssssss and disasters!!!!" Sorry, I love this song.... =P)
Want some other great Owl City songs? Just talk to me. :)
(lol I've finally got to use my "Owl City" label again..... =P)
Sometimes I just feel like there's so much to do, but not any time to do them in. And then other times, I feel as if I have all the time in the world but nothing to do. And sometimes it just feels as if whatever you do, it's just not enough, it's just not important. It's like you do the dishes and wish you could be out with your friends. You're washing the dog and you wish you were off running around the countryside. You're outside picking up rocks and you're wishing that you're inside, writing on that new story idea that just came to you. And yet, it feels as if it's all in vain. So what? Who cares about those rocks, anyway? Why couldn't somebody else do the dishes? What are dishwashers even for, anyways? Why can't the dog just stay outside and stay dirty? You'd rather be out, doing things that really actually seem to matter, like building deeper relationships with your friends and learning more about the world around you. Or getting that story idea down before you go and forget it. I've really felt encouraged by one of Steven Curtis Chapman's new songs, Do Everything, which is about doing everything that you do to the glory of God. I'd really encourage you to listen to the song (below), even if you've already heard it a million times before.
But welcome to Storyteller unleashed with music!!!!!! =D
I LOVE listening to music while I write.
Some of my favorites are the songs from the Narnia (1st) soundtrack.
Good song. :)
Equally good song. :)
Favorite song. :)
So that's more for like writing stories and everything. (and don't be shy about checking out the rest of the songs!!! I was just afraid that if I swamped ya you'd be like "what on earth am I supposed to do with all of this music?!" So that's why :D)
Anyway, so one of my favorite Christian artists is a band called MercyMe.
"You Are I Am." LOVE. THIS. SONG.
Another of my favorite artists is Britt Nicole.
"Gold."
(I like this song, but I think it would've been better if Lacrae hadn't been in it. :P)
Good. Song. :)
I hope you haven't been totally swamped with songs, because I have one more. :)
And I know for sure that this is what it says: "Awarded to Bloggers who Brighten a Rainy Day." Thanks, Madeline, for the clarification on Jenny's blog!!! =D
1. Thank the person who awarded you and give her/his link:
Rainy day? Hmm....... I don't get many rainy days, but I do get some, and when I do get them, I usually end up reading a book or playing the piano. Or sometimes laboriously writing stories out in notebooks. =D
3. How often does it rain where you live?
Sometimes. Mostly in July..... ;)
4. Nominate 3 or more people this award.
So, I know that a few people who make me happy have already gotten this award (example: Madeline, Jenny, Piano Bookworm.........).
So........ the people that I think would appreciate this award and who I think that this award should go to.
Are you guys ready?
Are you holding your breath, wondering if you got the award because you just went onto this blog without checking to see if I'd notified you?
OK, here we go!!!!
Oh, wow, this is going to be hard.....!
Otter Days. Yes, I had to immediately do Otter Days, because Otter Days is like my best friend, and I would do Piano Bookworm, but she's already gotten the award from Jenny. ;)
Jess. And, yes, of course Jess gets it (haha). =D Because her blogs are just awesome and I love them. :)
Madeline May. Yes, Maddie. Maddie's had a really special part in my blogging world by being the first person to ever have been on my blog other than my friend Otter Days. Thanks so much, Maddie!! =D
And I know that the rest of you deserve this, but I've decided just to do three. :)
5. Notify the nominees.
Will do. ;)
Bye!!!!
~Storyteller
P.S. OK, I know this is random, but I just had to say that if you haven't listened to Gold by Britt Nicole, well, you should!!!! It's awesome and I'm listening to it right now!!!!! =D
"I feel like if I were ever to hide the fact that that's [God] what's so important to me, it would be a crime, that I should probably be put in jail for that."~Owl City (Adam Young)(wiki, "Owl City")
