I felt like being silly today. I was in a really good mood all day and I think it was because I finally got some things off my chest. I wish more people were like me in the fact that if I want to say something, I think it through in every possible way and then say it so that I'm not holding in any feelings. That's something I've really learned to do over the past couple of years. You should try it. It really makes you feel a lot better about yourself.

I also got my hair cut AGAIN. This is the 3rd time, but the 3rd time is the charm. I just couldn't take the short top layers and long bottom layer. It looks sooooo much better. I didn't fix it when I got home so I didn't want to show it in all of it's gloriousness, but I promise I'll put a pic up tomorrow of it.

I looked up Nashville Star. You know I LOVE to sing. I've been wanting to try out for that show forever. My aunt told me I should do it and I opened my big mouth and told her that I only would if auditions and taping didnt interfere with the school year. So, I get on tonight and auditions are during spring break and taping will be during the 10 weeks we have for summer vacation. A sign maybe? We'll see

What I love about me #10!
I love that I know what I want and I won't settle for less. This goes for everything in my life. Just look at the adventure I've gone on to get my hair the way I want it. 3 haircuts and 2 weeks later, I finally have the hair cut I originally went to get. Yes, it's a little shorter than I wanted it, but I still love it!

Same goes for men. I've been told my standards are too high, but I'm not going to lower them at all. I'm not saying I won't give someone a chance and try to get to know them better, but I won't settle for just any man that walks by and seems interested. He has to have a good heart; be kind to his family; love dogs; love and want children; be respectful, adventurous, fun-loving, outdoorsy; get along with my family and friends; want similar things in life, but also show me different things that life has to offer; share similar interests but also spark my interest in new things; make me want to be a better person and help me to be that better person. Of course there are other things, but you get the gist. It's not too much to ask. That is what would make me happy in a partner.

Finally, I know that I want to make a difference in the world, and I won't settle for not doing that. Whether it be raising money for a charity or influencing a child's life, I am determined that I will make a difference. I won't settle for just going through the motions of life without leaving a footprint in the heart of someone or something. I guess it's the compassionate side of me, but for me to feel whole, I have to feel that I am doing something to better the world or community or life of a person or animal. I know what I want and I won't settle for less.
