I believe that all couples getting married should be happy when they do so :)

Day 17: A book I’ve read that changed your views on something
Well Twilight completely changed my outlook in life about how I view pop culture. There was a time when I believed the most popular books were the best ones out there--I now know I need to search thoroughly for books worth reading and that most people do not care about consistent storyline, ripped off ideas, grammatical corrections, and other nonsense.

Day 16: Someone or something I definitely could live without
Haha...well, I could definitely live without the things that waste my time like people with clipboards, political phone calls, advertisements, and door-to-door salespeople (except kids...kids are allowed to sell popcorn, candy, cookies, and waste my time).
I could live without people that spread rumors and take other people's problems so seriously that they take sides and every confrontation has to be us vs. them. I guess I could do without immaturity and hearing things second-hand about people that shouldn't be talked about.
I could also do without clowns...entirely. I would not be sad if they all vanished.
Lastly, I could do without the kind of men that think it's appropriate to message people looking for naked intimate relations with girls they don't know and think that sluts and hos are proper terms to use for a woman--the world might be a better place if the creepers disappeared.

Day 15: Something or someone I couldn’t live without
Well I've already said that I can't live without music. That said, the people I couldn't live without...family. I'm not only talking about the conventional mother/father, brother/sister, daughter/son family--I'm talking about the people that have reached into my heart and become my family because I love them.
Honestly, I recently got a lot closer to friend of mine that crossed into where I felt he was a part of my family and I do feel as if I'm at risk for losing him. It's hard to know that decisions made can't be taken back and sometimes nothing you say will make a difference. How do you get someone you care about to take care of himself? It's impossible to motivate another person, but if I could, I would selfishly do whatever it took to keep him as a part of my life.

Day 13: A band or artist that has gotten me through some tough days.
Oh wow...this one is hard. Music gets me through everything. There are so many. In high school, Avril Lavigne, the Beatles, Shania Twain, George Strait, Delerium, Matchbox 20, the Barenaked Ladies, and Eve 6 got me through everything. But now? I mean it's more single songs that really get me when I'm feeling a certain way.
Music has a way of reaching into my deepest feelings and connect with something happening in my life. Living is a soundtrack. The songs that have been the most meaningful for me lately are:
"Jar of Hearts" - Christina Perry
"One Life to Love" - 33 Miles
"A Little Bit Stronger" - Sara Evans
"Raise Your Glass" - Pink
"Believe" - Staind
"Invisible" - Skylar Grey
"Leveller" - Plasmacrash
"Second Chance" - Shinedown
"The Best Thing" - Relient K
"This Little Light of Mine" - LZ7
"Hate to Break it to Ya" - Musuji
"Through the Glass" - Stone Sour
"Paper Angels" - Panzer Ag
"Secrets" - One Republic
"I'm Letting Go" - Francesca Battistelli
"Joy" - VNV Nation
"I Could Just Kill a Man" - Charlotte Sometimes
"King of Anything" - Sara Barielles
"Jawbreaker" - Ascii Disko
"You Belong With Me" - Taylor Swift
"Firefly" - Sister Hazel
"Silence" - Delerium feat. Sarah Maclachlan
"Mixtape" - Butch Walker
"Undisclosed Desires" - Muse
"Sweet Dreams" - Marilyn Manson or Eurythmics
"Consider Me Gone" - Reba McEntire
"Mr. Crowley" - Ozzy Osbourne
"Sex, Drogen, Und Industrial" - Combichrist
I guess music is just too central for me to pick a band or a song. I feel like music sort of interacts with my life. It's never been a single band, artist, song, or genre...it's a combination of styles and lyrics that just speak to me. They help me to feel angry, sad, or lonely when I need to, but songs can also uplift my spirits, make me laugh, and play along.

Day 12: Something I never get compliments on
I have never been complimented on fingernails or toenails that I have painted myself. Not to say that I should be complimented...I do a pretty terrible job :)
I'm guessing this is supposed to be something I think is positive but that I never get complimented on...I actually have pretty awesome friends and family that compliment me, so there are not a lot of things I do well that at least one person has not noticed.
On my body, I can't think of a time anyone complimented my calves or ankles.
I don't often get complimented on my choice of blush (on myself) in terms of make-up.
I also never get compliments on my handwriting...even when I'm trying really hard. I've recently discovered that this may be due to the fact a lot of people cannot read cursive.
Also, other than karaoke on very rare occasion, my singing voice no longer receives compliments. I love to sing, but I do feel that I lack the ability to really share it anymore. Nothing feels quite right.
