So My birthday was on the 6th, and it was my 20th. I'm really not a kid anymore, not even a teenager. I was actually kind of sad about this, and wasn't really excited for my birthday to come, and I know it's silly, because you're whatever age you believe you are, but I feel like social standards play such a role (too big of a role) in the way we act and live our lives. So I had a rebellious week. Rebellious against adulthood. I rode my bike, I walked around town wearing a pirate hat along with another pirate, I climbed trees, I listened to loud music, I went to late movies, and ate a lot of candy which we snuck into the movie, and did many other things that are more connected to kids because I am one. Tonight I'm going to see Harry Potter and midnight, AND I plan on dressing up as a member of Hufflepuff. I dare you to look at me like I'm too old to be doing this I will probably just run away giggling like a little kid.

Note: My blog is not working properly right now, but this is the blog that's coming.
My current blog is about the downs and ups of life. It's a little bit of a different approach than we're used to. I think it's a little more accurate as well. Check it out! Here's a short excerpt.

Pennsylvania and Delaware are very hilly places around where I live, so I am very used to climb and cruising, and then one day about 15 miles into my 20 mile ride I though of something. This is sort of like life. We often hear about the ups and downs of life, but in biking it's the downs and ups of life. You often see that hill in front of you, though sometimes it's around a corner and you couldn't see it. Regardless, you get to the hill, your speed slows down, you lose all the momentum you had, and you start climbing...

I have spent a lot of time making my new website. It is almost complete. I just need to figure out how to make one last thing work and then it will be live. It is made completely in flash. You can get a taste of what it'll look like by looking at my blog, which isn't in flash yet, and may never be because I'm working with Blogger. We will see. I have also been doing more music stuff, and surprising to me, mainly guitar. It is surprising to me because it is the instrument I am the least proficient on. So that's going well. I have 3 or 4 songs right now. None of the ones I've written have words, but hopefully that'll change soon. I have also been dabbling with video a little bit. nothing too serious yet. I'll draw something soon and maybe dev it. We'll see. I just love being artful!
