"You missed it"

You know how someone would say, “You missed it” or “You missed out” if you didn’t go to a certain event? A lot of times when people say that to me, I’d answer with, “Oh no, how will I be able to live with myself?” I do so in a sarcastic manner of course. Obviously, I didn’t want to attend that certain event, so I know I missed whatever happened. Most of the time when people say that to me, it means that I didn’t miss much. I probably didn’t miss out on anything at all. They’re probably saying that to make me feel guilty about not going or something. It doesn’t work. I don’t feel guilty about it. Now, if it were a funeral or a concert, maybe I’d feel guilty or bad about not going. A luncheon, birthday party, wedding, camping trip, and other stuff similar to that isn’t my thing. I’m an introvert, so I could care less. I suppose that’s my problem huh? I don’t see it as a bad thing though. I have my space, my peace, and my quiet. People try to include me in stuff, but they do so in a not so great way, which is peer pressure. I’ve had them corner me before to try to get me to go to something that I didn’t want to go to. That didn’t work, but they sure are persistent for other times. I don’t think they get it. I know I don’t miss out on anything because nothing remotely interesting ever happens to me. The only interesting thing that’s happened to me was that I was able to finally attend a concert of my favorite group. It’s rather sad though considering I’ve been a fan of them for 14 years. See, if I missed that concert, I would have regretted it. Everything else will not be regrettable unless it’s really important.

I had this entry as a draft for a while. I think I originally had something else to say. I don’t remember it now, obviously. I think I’ve said what I wanted to say. I don’t know if anyone would read this post, but has anyone ever tried to make you feel bad by saying “You missed it?” to you? What is your response? How do you deal with it? Are they persistent?

It’s Been Too Long

*This was composed on March 14, 2003.*

We haven’t seen each other
For quite a while
But still I think
Of your beautiful smile
It’s been too long
Maybe we shouldn’t have parted
You’re always on my mind
We never got to finish what we started
How could this be?
Why can’t I forget?
I can’t seem to move on
I hope it won’t be something I regret
It’s been too long
How will I manage?
Falling in love is my weakness
It’s my disadvantage
As much as I’m hurting
Your face won’t go away
I think about you every second
Every minute, every hour, every day
It’s been too long
I’m drowning in my sorrow
Can’t stop feeling this way
I hope for a better tomorrow

R.I.P. Amy Winehouse

Article site: UK singer Amy Winehouse found dead-Sky News

I was reading some tweets or posts on Facebook, I don’t remember which one, but there was a mention that Amy Winehouse died. I couldn’t believe it. It seemed so surreal. Why do talented people go at such a young age? She was only 27. That is young.

I didn’t listen to her music much, but I did like the ones I listened to. I’ll miss seeing her signature hairdo. Speaking of her hairdo, for Halloween a few years ago, my siblings and I bought an Amy Winehouse wig. Our wig didn’t really stay up because we messed it up. We took pictures, but I’m not sure where they’re at. The wig was fun and it made us feel like we were Amy Winehouse.

So, rest in peace Amy. You will be missed. My condolences to her family.

Follow/unfollow

Throughout my time on Twitter, I have noticed that I have people follow me and then they unfollow me. A majority of my tweets are links that link back to blog posts on my site (this site). Before I follow someone, I check out a good number of their tweets to see what they’re about. So, that makes me wonder, do people do the same for me? Or, do they just see a tweet that caught their eye and then follow me because of that one tweet? I think that is the case because I look at the profiles of the people who follow me. From that, I see that they followed because of a certain blog entry/tweet. I’m actually very random. My tweets can be about anything. Of course, at times, I respond to people I follow. I try to mix it up a bit. Since Twitter gives a character limit on a person’s bio as well as a person’s tweet, you’d have to actually visit my site to get the details about me or what I’ve tweeted. People get excited when they discover that someone else is following them. They also get bummed when people unfollow them. I think I am one of those people. I’m actually surprised that I have any followers besides my friends. Thank you to the followers.

On a more awesome note, Joey Lawrence is following me on Twitter! ♥ I haven’t really tweeted or replied to many tweets regarding Melissa & Joey, so I don’t know how long he’d follow me. I’m a fan though! :) As far as I know, I’ve mentioned Melissa & Joey twice on my blog. The first entry was Melissa & Joey and the second entry was Melissa & Joey – New Season June 29. Recently I responded to a tweet from @ABCFmelissajoey asking “How happy are you that #MelissaJoey is getting another season? More so than @DaemonsTV? http://bit.ly/qbFwYR.” My response was “Happy! That is good news.” So, I guess that’s why Joey followed me! :) I followed him back as well and I also followed Melissa Joan Hart. Maybe I’ll get a follow back from her or maybe even a tweet? Maybe I’ll get a tweet from Joey? I’ll have to wait and see!

Will You?

*This was composed on March 14, 2003.*

Just answer me this question
Will you be there?
Please tell me the answer
I want to know if you care
Will you be my sunshine
Through the pouring rain?
Will you love me honestly
And spare me pain?
Just answer this question
Does your heart belong to me?
Because I really need to know
If we’re meant to be
Will you be the one I can run to
When there’s no place for me to go?
Will you be my shelter?
Baby please let me know

I Want YouTube!

While watching a Korean drama, I had the baby sitting in my lap with his back leaned against my stomach. Of course, babies don’t like to stay still. So, as he was moving about, I took this clip. I called it “baby workout” because well, pretty much everything a baby does is a workout. Besides, doesn’t it look like he’s doing a workout anyways? He’s kicking and stretching. He also did leg lifts, but it can be seen briefly in this clip. I edited out to make the clip shorter.
