Okay guys here’s the sitch- well first of all quick side note- how the heck do I spell “sitch” as in situation…? Because “sit” doesn’t work, and neither does “situa” because u guys would be like what the heck? Anyhow I guess I’ll go with sitch. So here’s the sitch, I have got off to horrible start when it comes to spending time with God, and being in his word, and praying, and trusting in him in the new year which is CRAZY BECAUSE HE LITERALLY GIFTED ME WITH ETERNAL LIFE AND THEN GAVE ME A BOOK INSPIRED BY HIM LIKE WHAT? That’s some Harry Potter lord of the rings narnia Percy Jackson on steroids times infinity kinda cool. So basically I’m putting this here so you guys know and then I’ll actually do it. ANYHOW- do you guys like bread or pasta better? I feel like bread is so much better and there’s so much more variety ya know? But pasta is just the same but in different shapes- although I do have to say some shapes def taste way better. rotini? Delicious. And also bow ties & shellZ

Risk it for the biscuit I always say.
I don’t know how @leahgmetz DOESNT know this song- did she not have a childhood? Idk 🤷♀️!!! Anyhow- I definitely had a sad edgy teen phase right before my senior year. I worked in this Christian t-shirt store and after I closed up shop I was responsible for doing all the printing and also financial info and shipping stuff and general accounting/book stuff. (It was a small town so I was the only employee) ANYHOW- I’d play Green Day and only Green Day over the speakers for a solid 3 months. Also holiday is one of my favorite pep band songs. I think I was also into My Chemical Romance for a hot sec around this time. Welcome to the Black parade is a classic. definitely both worthwhile groups to listen to tho :)
This song is so old but I think every time it comes up in my Spotify it sounds different to me and it takes me back to a different place in my life every time. It used to take me back to an old tree outside of the neighboring schools junior high, and then to a back road on a night lit up by stars with my best friend on this earth, and right now it’s taking me to a bench in Ames during a pretty lackluster meteor shower with a boy I had just watched nacho libre with. I get so emo at night and really shouldn’t trust myself to make up captions but alas here we are. Man what a crazy absolutely sick song. I just don’t think that you could ever listen to Lord Huron enough. Absolutely my top favorite artist and ACTUAL LYRICAL AND MUSICAL GENIUS all right that’s enough. Annika enjoy my rant since you are currently my only follower. Much love.
It’s been a sec folks but school starts tomorrow so I thought it’d be a good time for a quick post. I am super anxious about school starting right about now but I know I’ll be okay. My parents just called to check in on me and reassure me that I’m going to be able to do it so that was super nice to hear from them. I really like this song because it reminds me to just take one step at a time. Every time I wanna make the world all about me & my schedule I just need to breathe and remember that even though I matter I’m not the point, (CLASSIC sol rexius quote right there). I’m a part of a perfect and wonderful plan so what do I have to be anxious about? I am fearfully and wondrously made and I should rejoice that I have been gifted with eternal life. I don’t think that thought ever gets old ya know? To be COMPLETELY honest, I am so thankful I get to spend eternity with YOU GUYS. (another tbh- I write these long captions more for myself than anything but thx for coming along for the ride)
Hello my guys! I don’t know if you’ve ever been caught doing a dramatic reenactment dance of the song “Copacabana” by my man Barry Manilow by your neighbors before… but if you haven’t I’ve got some advice for you. If your apartment windows look directly into someone else’s apartment windows and you feel the urge to do a reenactment of this song then CLOSE YOUR BLINDS. If you haven’t heard this song before, it’s basically about this showgirl/exotic dancer girl named Lola and this bartender named Tony who fall in love and both work at the copacabana BUT then this jerk named Rico comes and gets Lola to dance for him but must be getting a little handsy because all of a sudden Tony comes out of nowhere and decks the guy. AND THEN SOMEONE GETS SHOT but we don’t know who until the end of the song when it’s revealed the copacabana was turned into a disco and Lola is sad and alone because Tony is gone. So go ahead and use your imagination to picture what my neighbors saw last night Much love
To my 7 followers.... a bit of a sad turn of events today. This song was with me through the hardest period of my life. I was struggling with a ton of stuff ( I won’t bore you with the details) and essentially kinda lost who I was for a hot sec. This song voices that feeling nicely. I just got off a 10 hour shift and I’m tired of being nice to people who glare at me because I forgot to put extra ranch in their to go order. What kind of monster doesn’t have extra ranch at home in the fridge anyway? The audacity. Anyway, I digress. ALSO taking a sharp left turn here.... why do guys think it’s okay to call me cutie? What am I? An Orange? So silly of them to mistake me for a citrus. AND how do I respond? Right back atcha champ? Yuck. So moral of the story- I am not a citizen of hidden valley so don’t treat me like one and I am not round and Orange colored (although the couple of lbs I put on and my fake tan beg to differ) much love.
Hey fellow bop droppers! I AM BEGGING YOU TO LISTEN TO THIS. THE FULL THING. This clip does not accurately convey the absolutely INSANE harmonies in this song. Absolutely gorgeous. I love it. The Wailin’ Jenny’s are amazing. My sisters and I want to learn this song. I just drove back to college and I already miss my family but obviously I’m psyched to be with my friends again so feeling very conflicted. Honestly conflicted about tons of things. Ugh I hate confliction. I’m over it. ANYHOW I wish I had someone to explain my thoughts and feelings and the world to me because that would make life easier. Life is CONFUSING I TELL YA. Alright I’m exhausted rn so this post is wacky. Peace out broskis
Fun fact- a while back @elijah_thaned posted a song called “only the wild ones” and I liked it so much that I made an entire Spotify playlist based off of it and this is one of the songs on it. I have a lot of very weirdly specific playlists. I ran into a PT at the gym today that knows me and he came up and chatted with me for a little bit and we talked about PT school at Iowa and observation hours and references and such. I just felt so reassured afterwards and the conversation rlly just further confirmed that I’m going down the right path for me which was such a blessing. I def worry about the future a lot but lately I’ve really just been looking forward to the future and finding excitement in the unknown instead of fear which has been super cool. Guys I am so so so psyched to get to be a PT. More specifically a traveling pt. Ugh all y’all will have to let me practice stuff on you ;) mwahahhah Also what plant do u guys think matches ur personality? I think mine’s a philodendron.
Absolute legendary pep band bop. The intro part is stellar and the trombones get it so YOU ALREADY KNOW it’s killer. Iowa state athletics is straight up grinding it out this year so I found this song appropriate to post on GAME DAYYYYY. All y’all BETTER have woken up feelin’ the cheesiest this morning. I know last week I was having a crisis over band but every time I’m with my trombone pals I just feel so loved and I love all those peeps so much. Like just great and kind and awesome people. I’m so incredibly blessed. God has given me so much and I am so thankful for the life he has blessed me with. With kind and supportive friends who keep me safe and care about me, with an amaizng church community, and a wonderful family. I read psalm as 1-4 while relaxing in my hotels garden courtyard in FLORIDA and it was just so peaceful and happy vibes. Alright that’s it. NOW GO GRAB SOME FRIENDS AND WATCH THE CHEEZIT BOWL. Yeehaw 🤠
The first time I listened to this song was a month into quarantine at 1am in my dusty old bedroom. I put in my headphones and closed my eyes and I think that time stopped for a second probably. The first time you listen to this song is actually like being transported to a different universe. I would know as an active universe transporter myself. The intro is baller. I love it very very much. I’m learning about the old Egyptian civilizations right now and they probably would have liked it too. Something snazzy to listen to while building the six step pyramids. Also if you don’t know who she is- look up Queen Hatshepsut daughter of Thutmose. She’s a badass. Love that woman. Alright that’s it. Much love.
Funny story; on the “journey to Duluth” with @AnnikaCameron she played this for me and I told her how much I hate Vance Joy. Ironically this is one of my most favorite songs now tho. This song is amazing but I think the ukelele girls rlly turned me off of him after the whole “grace vanderwall- riptide- Vance joy” phase thing that happened back when we were all in high school. Very sad I undervalued his talents though because I spent wayyy too much energy disliking this dude. I did this burpee box jump thing with a medicine ball at the gym today but somehow tripped and fell VERY loudly which prompted several guys that I used to go to high school with to look over to see what the heck was going on. A little embarrassing but honestly I just hope my hijinks brightened their days. Still can’t do a pull-up so that’s a bummer. ANYHOW who’s gonna join me on my “journey to Duluth” part 2? (which will be happening sometime in the spring) ALSO do you guys like stars or clouds better?
