Over and Under

Hey Guys! Oh my God, I'm so sorry I haven't posted in like forever! I've been busy with Christmas and the play, and chorus, and all that other jazz. :D So I got quite a few things that I got for Christmas. I got diamond earrings from my aunt. I got Cirque De Soleil for the Totem show! Its on Thursday! I won't forget to post pictures! ;). I also got a new phone. its an a small android, its actually pretty cool! I also got a guitar. So there is a little back story to this: Taylor Swift was like...not really a role model...but more like a path that I kind of wanted to follow. So I already know how to play piano and the oboe (a clarinet type instrument) and I told my mom I wanted to play guitar. Blu's Little Fun Fact: I come from a family of music. My mom, aunts, uncles, grandmothers, grandfather, great grandparent etc. always played an instrument. Okay continue, so yesterday my dad gave me an acoustic guitar. It came with the tuner, the picks, the strap, and the guitar case. So I know a few chords now, and I can't wait to get this guitar playing boat floating! I am also going to Gatlinburg, Tennessee this Saturday for a Youth Trip for my church! All the teenagers in the Youth Group are going on a day trip to Gatlinburg. We are going to see the Smokey Mountains and look at the small shops in the cute little town in Tennessee. What should I pack? :D. It's going to be really fun and I won't forget to post pictures!
DON'T FORGET, DREAM BIG!

Apples, Addictions, and Accessories

Hey Guys! Sorry I haven't posted in SUCH a long time! I was busy with Thanksgiving, parties ('cause im sooo popular!...jay kay...i'm not popular at ALL), school (i made it into the play :D), and all that other jazz :P. I'm going to be posting regularly again! (Yay!...maybe)
 So here is a few things that have happened in-between my last posts. So I have a strange addiction to New York City. I was doing a little bit of research and New York is DEFINITELY the place I want to live. The lights, Broadway, the people, the opportunity, the style...EVERYTHING...I love everything about it! So ya..a strange obsession. Also, I made it into the play! And if you don't know what play I was auditioning for, it was Beauty and the Beast (and no guys.....i did not get the role of the beast :P) I made the role of........A SPOON! Yes I know y'all are probably thinking, "What the hell Hannah? Why are you so excited about being a dancing spoon???" Because, I'm going to be SPOON! Guys, its a SPOON!!! Not a knife not a fucking fork! But a spoon! Best silverware ever! Sorry, I got a little carried away there! Also, I went shopping yesterday...so I'm going to be posting a video on my Youtube channel on my "Belk Haul"...So ya. That's pretty much my life so far! Love y'all, and I will write to y'all soon!

Blu's Big Week Announcements: Music, Art and Everything Inbetween

Hey Guys! I feel like I haven't wrote to y'all in such a long time (even though it's only been like a week) So this week I have just a few announcements.
  First of all, I am trying out for a play, "Beauty and the Beast". I got the packet, I practiced a little bit, and I already signed up for the audition. I am singing the Belle Reprise. I hope I get in. See the thing is, I don't know what I want to be in the play. The only goal I have is to get in! My audition is not next week, but the week after that on the 27th. I will post an announcement to tell y'all if I got in or not.
  Second of all, I am learning how to play the uke (the ukelele, you guys don't know my "Like a Boss" Language. :P) and the acoustic guitar. I'm starting guitar lessons and uke lessons after Christmas! I'm so excited!
  So todays question of the week is: What are y'all going to do this Thanksgiving?
Leave what your doing this Thanksgiving in the comments below or you can send me an email at lifeofblu@gmail.com or a tweet at @LifeofBlu!

My SkyZone Fiasco

This is SkyZone. A pretty large trampoline place. 

Hey Guys. So...it's a Saturday night and I'm just a bored brunette sitting on the couch while watching Glee. Some amazing life right? Today, I went to my friend Lauren's birthday party. We went to SkyZone (this big trampoline place) And so most of my friends (its a miracle because...I have no friends :P) were there. My bestest friend, Hope (I will leave her blog link below so y'all can check it out!) was there too. So we went around and played some dodgeball. I played like a boss, just so you know! (And when I say I played like a boss, I really mean that I got hit in the face a lot of times) I also went flipped into a foam pit. (And yes, for those people who don't know me, I did a legit,full flip into a big pool of blue foam squares. It's a little hard to believe but I DID IT!) After I...tripped,fell, got hit in the face, ran, ran into SOMEONE, broke the rules (I jumped in another square with someone for like 30 seconds. And your not supposed to do that. But I'm just a rebel like that :P, jumped and laughed with Hope, We went to go get pizza. After we ate pizza me and Hope did a chugging contest. And if you don't know what that is, its when you try to drink a cup of soda or salsa (Please DO NOT ask me why I put salsa, but I did it, and you DO NOT want to know what happened) or anything else without stopping. And of course, I lost. Who would have known? Then we had cookie cake...with icing. And if you really knew me, like legit knew me, you would not let me eat cookie cake...with icing with a bunch of people...IN PUBLIC. I put some on my friends face, on my shirt, on MY face, on the floor...EVERYWHERE. I'm a mess. What can I say? Then we did a basketball shooting tournament (it wasn't really a tournament. It was just when we tried to throw are trash into the garbage can from a distance). My friend Taylor was trying to throw a little piece of cookie cake..she failed. Miserably. It went over the trash can and about five feet away. And that was pretty much my SkyZone Fiasco tonight! It's getting kind of late...even though its only 11:30 :(, but I have to get up early tomorrow! Have a goodnight and I will talk to y'all soon!
And don't forget DREAM BIG!

Early Bird LITERALLY Gets the Worm

Hey Guys. So a pretty big thing happened today. Something, very. very. funny. So, there is this guy (not going to name names, So we will just name him...um...Nacho?) and no one really likes him (everyone has that ONE person) So I was hanging with a group of friends and Nacho was there. My friend Isabella saw a worm on the ground and freaking screamed. And my other friend was with that face that is just like "Shut UP...please...". And so he picked it up with his bare hands. And he walked over to Nacho and put the freaking worm in his hair. HE LIKE FREAKS OUT! He takes off his sweatshirt as fast as you can say Worm To The Floyd. Everyone starts cracking up. Probably the best thing that has happened to me this month. And then when I looked around a bit (after I fell on the floor with laughter, ran around telling everyone, and wiping the tears from my eyes :P) my friend, who put the worm in Nacho's hair, was no where to be seen.
And to tell you the truth, Nacho is a pretty tall guy. He is on the football team and I figure pretty strong. And my friend is really short. So I just wanted to say, my friend is probably going to get beat up this week. And that is all I'm gonna say! Goodnight Guys! And I will talk to y'all tomorrow!
Don't forget: DREAM BIG!

P.S: I made a Youtube Channel and I'm going to be posting some videos like: Book/Movie Reviews, my favorite things to do during the Fall, and just some other random things. I'm going to try to make videos every Wednesday. You can find my Channel on the Home Page in the Tab that says Youtube! Thanks

Got Common Sense?

Hey Guys! It's a little early and its a Tuesday. Not my favorite time to write but I'm just doing this for you guys. So this morning, It was pouring rain. Because of my lack of common sense, I put on some rain boots and I ran outside. It was about 6:00 am. By 6:30, I was SOAKED! I had to take a shower pick some new clothes and run to school. And guess what? Now I have a cold. Who would have known :P? Its 8:30. History class. Ugh. Blah Blah Blah Mitt Romney Blah Blah Blah John Quincy Adams blah blah blah. I guess I might want to listen to get some knowledge slapped into me. I'll talk to ya'll later this week! And don't forget DREAM BIG!

First Look? First Time.

Hey Guys!
I really don't know how many of y'all are out there. I also might be talking to myself. But if someone is out there, thanks for stopping by. As you may know, this is my first time blogging. I mean, I've done it before but haven't put my mind fully into it. My close friend, Bridgette (aka: Purple Pear. Put a link to her blog below) gave me this idea to blog. I looked at her blog and I really got connected to it. I wanted to make something like it. I wanted it to show the world who I really am. I am a singer. A lot of my close friends don't even know! I've done a few performances and I feel comfortable on stage. But not everyone knows, so I just wanted to throw it out there for everyone to see, 'cause in the future I might post some videos (just so I don't slam you with a secret by surprise :P) Some other info: I have a boyfriend named Creed. We've been dating for about three weeks now. I'm just throwing that out there too, well because, I might be blogging about him. I'm athlete. Yes, I know what your thinking. Why is a active athlete sitting on a couch all day writing in a stupid blog? Good question. And here's the answer, I don't know! I guess I'm just strange like that. Soccer is my favorite sport. Also, I like basketball, volleyball, softball, and running. Moving on! Food. Probably one of my favorite things in the world. Steak, cheesecake, veggie wraps, tacos, burritos, chips, salad, cookies...you know, all that stuff. Thank you so much for stopping by! And i really hope that you stick with me through this awesome adventurous blogging experience of mine! I will try to post every day. Please contact me with any ideas, concerns, compliments, or advice. (My Contact Us is on the Home Page next to Home)I will see y'all soon!
And don't forget, DREAM BIG!
