I'm Me...And I Like Me

So, last week i was with one of my friends and she said something that really hurt me. She probably didn't realize it, but it did. She said something around the likes of "Why are we even friends? We have nothing in common!" She said it jokingly, but that kind of stuff really kills me. I know, and I'll admit , I've never seen the Avengers, or Pitch Perfect,. I don't like manga and I have no intention of ever watching Dr. Who.  I let those words she said eat me up inside for the past week, until I couldn't take it anymore, and I collapsed in my room; an angry, misunderstood mess. Then I thought to myself, " Why do I keep obsessing over what I like, when no ones else i know does?" and a little voice inside me said "Because you like them and they make YOU happy, and they make you, you" And you know what? I'm right. I like the Monkees, and I like The Beatles and I like Star Trek, and no one can take those loves away from me. Then I went on Facebook, and my notifications were filled with Beatles and Monkees blogs that my Best Friend had dug around and found for me. And she told me how much she like me for being me. And that really meant alot to me, considering what I had just been going through. So I may have nothing in common with most of my friends, but I'm me. And I like Me.

Meeting Michael Nesmith

Image
This is a post I never thought I would be lucky enough to write. But, I have done it. I have ,met my absolute favourite person in the whole entire universe, Michael Nesmith. I saw his show, twice, because I could only get a conversation pass to the second one, but had bought the tickets to the first show ahead of time. His tour was called "Movies of the Mind" and he told stories about what each song brought to his mind. So, on to the part when I met Nez!      Before the show, I had gotten a gold, sparkly wristband with his name on it and a sticker with his tour logo and the date on it that would let me in to see him afterwards. After the show, I stood around in the lobby where they were trying to gather all the people with conversation passes. A man led us up some stairs into the room where we would meet Nez. There were some tables to the side, so some of us set our coats and stuff down. We formed a line, I was 4th! This conversation was oversold because of technical trou...

Good

Hey everyone! Time for another entry in "Becky's College Adventures"!  Hard to believe I'm almost done with my first year of college! It really went by fast. For those of you who don't know, I've changed my major from special education to just general Elementary Education. Although I still have a heart for kids with disabilities, I've decided that my job outlooks and general happiness would be better in a mainstream classroom. Well, lets talk about my second semester here at Triton! My Classes RHT 102- Freshman Rhetoric and Composition 2     My English class his semester is in the exact same room as my class with Bob and my crush last semester, so first day of this semester was very emotionally nostalgic, being in the same room with completely different people, still expecting my two favorite faces to walk in. Well, they didn't, and 102 is alot different than 101, but the papers are shorter, which is a good thing. Mr. Martinez is  young and brand n...

This Summer

Can you believe its April already??! Soon the weather will in the 70's, we'll all be wearing shorts and flip-flops, and best of all, (for me at least) NO SCHOOL!!!!! But having no school leaves one with an awful lot of free time. Last summer wasn't what I wanted it to be. I spent way too much time wishing I was some where or with someone or doing something I wasn't.  I am going to seize this summer! Take control of it! So, here is a list of things I plan to do this summer (hopefully):                           Go to Camp (and maybe meet a boy ;) )                           Run alot                           Learn to skateboard without killing myself                           See a Beatles Tribute Band      ...
