| Song of the day: King of Spain by The Tallest Man on Earth |
My goodness, I want it to be December already. Don't get me wrong, November is an absolutely wonderful month, but I'm so over it now. Maybe it was the six inches of snow that did me in because I want it to be Christmas! In fact, I even started listening to Christmas music yesterday (someone please stop me!). The only weird thing about me wanting it to be December (would you call this a weird reason?), is that means I'll be 20 shortly. I mean, 20 just seems so old. All I know how to be is a teenager. On the brightside, I won't be a teenager anymore though because, let's face it, 9 out of 10 teenagers are hormonally obnoxious. No one likes teenagers except teenagers. Sorry, but it's a fact of life.
But I suppose turning 20 isn't going to automatically solve all of these problems. Being 20... it's like somewhere between a fifth and a fourth of my life is gone.
I'm not trying to make it seem like I'm afraid of turning 20, because I'm not (much unlike when I was terrified of turning 16... was that really four years ago?). It's more like... I'm old. I'm an old woman. 20-year-olds get married and have babies. I just want to play with my friends and dance around my room without having someone judge me. It's like the older I get the more the youthful fun gets sucked away! My youth is all but gone! Wo is me!
On another note, I thought I should say that I've been watching Merlin lately.. and I'm totally in love. If you don't know what Merlin is, it's basically the story of how the great warlock Merlin became friends with the future King Arthur in Camelot. Merlin moves to Camelot during a time where magic is outlawed and becomes the servant of Prince Arthur (who is played by the BEAUTIFUL Bradley James... sorry, I may or may not be in love with him). It's there adventures together (Merlin saves Arthur's butt a million times, and Arthur never knows it was Merlin saving him. Hilarity). It's family friendly, and it's a lot of fun. It also weaves a lot of the legends together like Excalibur (Sword in the Stone), Lancelot and Gwenivere, etc.And the first three seasons are on Netflix. (:
On a side note about Bradley James, why am I so attracted to British men that are, like, ten years older than me? Seriously, first Matt Smith, and now Bradley James! I should stop watching British TV shows. Seriously. This is awful.
Oh, and one last note (THIS POST IS SO RANDOM), yesterday in my music appreciation class, my teacher shared this... thing called the Beethoven Project. It's a simulation of Beethoven's hearing loss through the years. On the page it has one minute samples of three of his symphonies written at different points of his hearing loss. It'll play the piece as how a person with normal hearing would hear it, and then it'll alternate in five second intervals between the normal hearing and what Beethoven would have heard. It is the most hauntingly beautiful thing I have ever heard in my life, and I'm slightly obsessed with it.
In my opinion, I think the second one is the worst. Don't get me wrong, the last is absolutely horrible, but hearing-wise, the second would have driven me mad.
