2013

Hello whoever you are.

2012 has been way too kind to me. This has been the most amazing year of my life. I started doing this, and doing what I love. Making videos and I was HAPPY. Then I went on the most amazing vacations with one of my favorite teachers with some of the best people around. And I was happy.   It was seriously the best time of my life. Then I had one of the best summers of all time. It was relaxed and happy and I got closer with a lot of my friends. And then freshman year of high school started. I have new friends. I am finally doing things that interest me, and I'm actually doing well in all my academics. And then I stopped this. I thought I needed a break. But I was happy for a little while. But now I'm not. I haven't been truly happy for a while. But then I discovered who I was. I am truly a hipster. I found things like Easy A. And Pitch Perfect. And now I know who I want to be. I love film, and obscure music. And hipster clothing. I love it. And now I'm happy. But I'm gonna be a lot happier. I've decided for myself and everyone around me. I'm going to start making things for the Internet and I'm going to get serious about my future, but stress less about it. I'm going to study film. I'm going to simply be happier. 2012 has been the best year of my life. I have felt more, I get excited. I have found out who I am. I have created who I am. 2012. You were too good for me. And I hope 2013 is even better. My resolutions being to create more, to read more, to focus in on my life and manage my time. And maybe. Just maybe. Vlog every day of this year. Big task I know. If I couldn't blog for a year, why can I do even more work? Because I want to be happy. 2012 man. 2012. I've learned so much. And I just hope and pray that 2013 will be even better. Thank you guys for being there for me. Thanks for supporting me. Thanks for making me believe in something. Thanks for a great year. 2012 man. 2012.

But this isn't 2012 anymore isn't it? So many amazing things have happened in this world this year. And hopefully I get to be a part of it. 2012 man. 2012.

This video made me cry a lot. I hope it makes you cry a lot too. 2012 man. 2012. Time for the world to keep moving.

Happy New Years guys. You're amazing :)

2013 man. 2013.

Not with a Fizzle, but with a Bang

Hello gingers! Or blondes, brunettes, dyed, gray, or whatever doesn't offend you.

Haha, you like how I just recycled an internet Christmas joke, don't you? I'm such a trickster like that. You guys shouldn't trust me.

I mean, why would you anyway? This thing has been inactive for a while. I can hear my former self sighing.

Remember when I made a triumphant return, and I gave you the cold hard truth? Yeah I'm doing that again. I was on tumblr a lot. I celebrated Christmas. You know, 4.0 isn't bad now, right? Yeah. Go future me! In college! Living it up! In an a capella group, wait what?

We will get to that later. I find it kind of hilarious that it's always this time of year that I just get super into writing things and making things. And I have found that it's just nostalgia's addictive power. It drives people mad. And I've felt like I've been so dependent on it. So I've been trying to have a little bit more fun.

I've been trying to do a lot of things. But time comes a rolling where I need to talk about all my life goals and aspirations. Also known as resolutions. I said this last year, I know, but I am really determined to keep my resolutions. I'm not going to be as ambitious this year. But a lot of what I have wanted to do will be thought over carefully in the next couple of days.

1) This is very broad. CREATE MORE. I want to write and make music and make videos and be artistic and challenge myself, because I don't do that enough. I want to hone a craft, and that's what I'm doing.

2) READ MORE. I want to be sharper. I want to be able to pull out quirky facts all the time. And I want to read more. It's simply my need, because I don't read enough.

3) Manage time wisely. Not as much tumblr for this girl. It will help the following 2 things as well.

So that's my plans. There may be more, but I am still feeling like nobody's business right now. That's right, FEELING. Feeling feels. That's because I saw Les Mis, and I watched Pitch Perfect and it's Christmas. Or, it was Christmas.

Les Mis was amazing. I haven't been around enough to tell you guys this, but my musical kick has been in full swing, and this really made things awesome. Beautifully filmed, lots of interesting styles, and I learned a lot. Oh, and you know. Love and war and whatever.

And it's Christmas. The truth is, is that I started up a couple different blogs about Christmas and my grinchy feelings this year. But I just really have nothing to say. We had a white Christmas here in Colorado, and it was lovely. My family were wonderful hosts to the occasion :)

AND. Last but not least, sigh, Pitch Perfect. Before I even start, let me just say that I do have a thing for musicals and awesome stories. I fell in love with Pitch Perfect. Mainly Anna Kendrick (OH MY GOSH SHE IS SO AWESOME AND SO FUNNY AND SHE IS MY QUEEN AND I LOVE HER) But I love Pitch Perfect. I love the singing and the story and everything about it. So I got it for Christmas and I knew I wanted to watch it the day of. So I just did basically. And I have some things to say.

I want to be Beca. Like so bad. I've recently realized that I've become a hipster, like Beca is. But I want to keep going. I want to be that girl. I can't really explain it as well as I thought I would. But that's my brief feelings toward that. I really wish I could articulate words that express my feelings.

But the kind of sad part about all of this is that Pitch Perfect has become my movie. Easy A was my movie before, and now it's Pitch Perfect. Hell, I even titled this blog after Easy A. And I wanted to be Emma Stone/Olive Penderghast. Change is good. Nostalgia is addicting.

I wanted to be eloquent with this blog, but this will have to do. It's 2 in the morning.

Happy Christmas Harry.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hello gingers! It's been so long since I've done this that it feels kind of strange for me!

Let's just clear the air here, in case you cared. In case anybody cared really. Yes, I have not blogged in a while. While: Like 2 months or something

Nothing dramatic happened, or even remotely exciting. I didn't get caught up in a new project, as to distract me from this. I didn't have a revitalizing journey where I looked into my past and saw what was in my future. I didn't move to the north pole with dreams to cure cancer. And no, I didn't join the Witness Protection Program.

But since you've come this far, I might as well tell you the real reason. And not the reason I've been telling myself which is that I don't have the time. The truth is, I have plenty of time and this would be a great use of it to improve my writing. The real reason, is that I just didn't want to care anymore.

It seemed like such a pain. It lost it's luster. But now, as I'm typing this, I feel like such a little school girl because of how many ideas and how excited I am to work on this. I want to start it up again. I want to make things bigger and better. Because that's the beautiful thing about hopeless dreamers. We get ambitions. And then, as soon as we get rolling, the spark stops. And it's on to the next thing.

But I didn't have a next thing. I still don't have equipment. I still don't have anymore good ideas for things already in motion that I already have. Nothing has changed since I left.

That's a harsh reality. I left because nobody cares anyway. What I should've said to myself was "Okay. Nobody cares. So use this to the best of your ability to grow where you're planted and improve on what you have. The change may be slow. It may be rough. But we can improve."

So I don't care who is reading this, and who isn't. Because right now, this is for me to improve on what I have, and what I want. As soon as I put my sights in front of me and my headlights guiding me in the right direction, I can start doing things.

No, this isn't a Thanksgiving blog as the title would ignorantly tell you. This is a premature blog that gives thanks for all the things I might have in the future. Because I'm gonna work hard.

And that's all I have to say. Let's ramble some more somewhere else.

Keep On Giving Thanks,
Rachael The Ginger

America's Next Step

Hello.

Wow.

Crazy night, right?

I say we are in the right direction. This direction is scary and much different than what we have done before. This is new, this is bold. This is where we break our resistance to change as a nation and start working together. This is a new age. A new dawn.

We have disagreed on many things, and got absolutely nowhere on many things. But if we persevere and believe that everyone in this great nation has a chance to do something great, just like President Obama said in his speech tonight, we can reclaim the title as the greatest nation in the world.

We have fought long and hard for which side is right and which side is wrong. But now we are given the choice to accept our new direction, or fight against it, preventing a positive change.

We are America. And we have never backed down. Yes, this new step will be a challenge. But when have we ever denied one?

We can reach common good.

There is a new spark. A new flame of hope is arising. And hopefully a little 5th grader stayed up late to watch that speech, and is thinking about the world with a new light.

Things have been tough, and cannot be fixed in a short amount of time. But if we work together, it can be done a whole lot faster.
