Yay Storm!

So we had a seriously crazy storm here earlier today-which produced hail that lasted for nearly half an hour. I was able to capture some of the crazy storm on my phone. We lost power for a few hours- and let me tell you-taking a shower by candle light actually isn't as difficult as you would think.

Sorry the video is so small-need to figure out how to change that later.

This was only the beginning of the hail. It only got larger.

Our garage flooded

Part of a down tree in the neighborhood.

Taking a shower by candle light.

So all in all it was a pretty epic storm with a fair amount of damage done. I am glad that it happened during the day though because if it had happened at night I would have to pretend like I wasn't 22 years old and put all my stuffed animals, pillows, and blankets into my closet and sleep in there. (Storms at night scare me)

G'night all and sweet dreams!

Teenage Dream

Seriously going to make a serious effort to keep up with this blog.

Today has been a Cat Power radio kind of day. Photoshop would be boring if it wasnt for music to keep you focused. My family is going down to the beach this weekend to look at properties to invest in. Yay for a mini beach vacation. Hopefully the oil won't be too bad down there.

So my Mum thought it would be a good idea for me to play around with photoshop and do something for Kyla Investments (yupp-that is what they are calling it-no idea why)

Here is what I have got so far-and let me warn you-I am just playing around-not very good yet with photoshop.

So I will finish posting later-a serious storm is happening and I want to watch!

Somebody to love!

Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Each morning I get up I die a little

Can barely stand on my feet

Take a look in the mirror and cry

Lord what you're doing to me

I have spent all my years in believing you

But I just can't get no relief, Lord!

Somebody, somebody

Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard every day of my life

I work till I ache my bones

At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -

I get down on my knees

And I start to pray

Till the tears run down from my eyes

Lord - somebody - somebody

Can anybody find me - somebody to love?

(He works hard)

Everyday - I try and I try and I try -

But everybody wants to put me down

They say I'm goin' crazy

They say I got a lot of water in my brain

Got no common sense

I got nobody left to believe

Yeah - yeah yeah yeah

Oh Lord

Somebody - somebody

Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm

I just keep losing my beat

I'm ok, I'm alright

Ain't gonna face no defeat

I just gotta get out of this prison cell

Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love

Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Had a pretty good day today! :) Had some positive feedback on my preproduction work on the documentary video that I am doing for the Atlanta Lions Club. It is a very good feeling. Makes me feel like I may be in the right direction and that I might actually have a talent for this! YAY! Always a good thing.

Saw a ladybug in my car today! Aren't they suppose to be good luck? I hope so-I really could use some!

Updated my youtube account today! Added some videos from back in high school when I won the Atlanta Press Pass Program. The video that I added me and two other classmate wrote, directed, filmed, and edited a 60 second package on the Atlanta Thrashers! It was so much fun and I mss doing stuff like that. http://www.youtube.com/user/fthomps1

So watching Glee right now! LOVE this show! haha! Didn't think I was going to get so into this show but it is good.

Randomness!!

So today has been a pretty productive day-well tonight has been at least and I have brownies, good smelling candles, wine and GREAT music to thank for that.

I have been pretty damn stressed recently! I have a lot going on at the moment. Even though graduation is months away it is starting to freak me out and the idea that I will be out on my own in less than a year really makes me nervous. So all of that leads to a mini mental break down Sunday night (well not a mini one, it was pretty full blown). Though after getting through that I have been feeling better and am able to think about my options after graduation a little clearer.

So taking 18 credit hours this semester-but I have more work outside of school than I do for school. I am currently working on a documentary video for the Atlanta Lions Club that will hopefully be used as a promotional tool. This is proving to be a lot of work since I am doing all of the research, writing, filming, directing, editing, etc...basically everything that is involved in getting a video accomplished. Working on this video is probably one of the best learning experiences ever! I am being able to take what I am learning in class and apply it to a real life situation. (This is the whole point of getting a higher education - right?) Being able to work on something like this makes me happy, makes me believe that this is the right career for me and I might actually have some talent and a shot in making it in the industry.- Who knows!?

So I am really struggling with whether or not graduate school is a good option for me right after graduation. I am scheduled to take the GRE on October 24th. So I have been doing a lot of studying for that-but have not gotten very far! I am not very good with vocabulary and math! But I am trying to keep my options open!

I think I have a problem with just letting things happen!! I do way too much planning and worrying about the future and I think sometimes I forget about the present! That is not living everyday like it is your last-not when you are planning so much for the future. I think I amy need to change that a little.

Well I am off for now! Have had a very long and interesting day today and need my beauty sleep for hump day!! hehe! But I am going to keep up with this more often and possibly do a little creative writing on here!

Keep on visiting!

Currently listening to: Hey Jude by The Beatles

So EXCITED! So HYPER!!

I am so excited!! At the moment I am finishing packing then Kelsey and I are driving down as far as Valdosta tonight and then heading the rest of the way to Orlando tomorrow! We are meeting Larissa in Orlando! I am so excited! It has been way too long since the three of us have been together! It is going to be so much fun, and I am documenting the entire trip so expect to see a video up here when we get back from all the crazyness that is going to happen! Need to make everyone jealous!

I love my life and I love my girls!!

Kelsey and Larissa-you guys have always had my back and I love you for that! Thanks for everything!

Listening to "Waking up in Vegas" by Katy Perry on REPEAT!!

Today!

Going to Helen Georgia with the family today! I am excited! Going to bring the Video and digital camera up and going to document everything. I really should be doing more of that recently! Now I just have to find my video camera and charge it. lol.

So last night hung out with a couple of old and new friends. Sometimes I miss living down here-and I miss my high school friendships. I was so lucky to have such amazing friends in hs and so luck to have continued to be friends with them, just sad that we don't get to see each other that often. Oh well.

Well unfortunately this is going to have to be a short post-have to finish getting ready so Cameron and I can meet the family up at 10. WAY too early! Haha! (You know your in summer vacay mode when 10 in the morning is too early! Love it)

Love
