#ALSIceBucketChallenge

Do you know what I'm finding most irritating about the ALS ice bucket challenge? The people that are refusing to do it on principal.

"What The Heck Happened to Country?" and similar comments

I googled the phrase "who sings melody in Somethin' Bad" today and didn't get my question answered, but found my way to a country music website called savingcountry.com (personally I can't figure out in the chorus whether Carrie or Miranda is singing lead. I think it's Carrie, but I'd like to know for sure.) This was the article I found.

The Fault in Our Stars Challenge

So I just finished "The Fault in Our Stars" for the first time the other day. I pushed off buying it and reading it because the premise didn't appeal to me. People with cancer, this clearly can't end happily, and I'm all about happy endings. Moreover, it was becoming a big deal on Pinterest and other such places on the internet and when something becomes a giant fad, I tend to stay away from it (remember those Hunger Games? I still haven't made it through the first one).


I did finally give in. With it being summer and with the movie coming out and everything I knew someone was gonna end up wanting to go see it, and I have this weird thing where I HAVE to read the book before I see the movie. I made one of my ex-friends so mad. I wouldn't watch "The Notebook" with her for two years because I hadn't been able to locate a copy of the book to read it first (and if we were still friends she'd probably still be nagging me about reading "A Walk to Remember," which is on my 'to read' shelf).


As much as I would have liked to say I didn't like it because it's all mainstream and a big deal and blah blah blah... I did like it. I kind of wanted to rip my heart out and stomp on it by the time I was done, but I liked the book.


Because I liked the book, because I read the book, and because (as predicted) I've made plans to go see the movie on Tuesday, I will be taking the Heck Yeah Tumblr Challenges: The Fault in Our Stars Challenge right here, right now. Enjoy! (Probably will contain spoilers if you haven't read the book or seen the movie!)

Top 9 Things You'll See At An Amusement Park

And no, I'm not talking about roller coasters and corn dogs. You see those too, but that's not where I'm going with this.

One of my best friends and I went to the amusement park yesterday. Aside from riding roller coasters and bumper cars and avoiding almost everything that spins because I get motion sick, we spent a majority of our time people watching.

You would not believe the things you see while wandering around an amusement park for eight or nine hours.
