This chart shows how funny or amusing I find everything in terms of how late I stay up past my bedtime.

This one is pretty self-explanatory. This timeline shows the TV shows I watched at the age I started watching them.

I made this using the most currently available scientific data. Just kidding.



Find your approximate age, and then you will know what stage of enlightenment you are in.

This next chart is really a diagram of the palm. I know it may seem a little unorthodox, but I got into palm reading when I was 14 years old, and I really enjoyed it. I have studied this ancient art, and I made this diagram so that I could remember what each finger and mount meant. I feel I need to somewhat justify my fascination, but I don't know what to say. I think that God is in everything, and who is to say that he's not in this kind of thing, too? And if you don't like it, it's all just fun, anyway. Sometimes when I read palms, people are amazed at how accurate it is. Other times, it's completely inaccurate. But, the important thing is that it is all in good fun.

This chart is pretty self-explanatory.

This next chart demonstrates my love for meat, but also my love for living a long, healthy life. After reading Dr. Fuhrman's "Eat to Live," I'm not only convinced that meat and dairy products are evil, cancer-causing agents, but that it is important to eat for nutrition.

As you can see, I do love meat. But, I love life more.

I haven't written since the end of January, so I've decided to do another month-long theme of writing. So, I'm going to do "my life in charts."

Today, I'm featuring a chart called "Excitement Levels by Month." This chart illustrates how excited I am about life according to each month.



As you can see, I start out the year at a medium excitement level. This is because I love new beginnings, and I've just written all of my impossible resolutions, and I'm psyched for the year to come. Then, in February, my excitement level dips down considerably. This is usually because of the cold weather, and about halfway through the month I realize that my goals are pretty unrealistic, and I'm never going to accomplish them, and also I'm not learning about black history like I wanted to. It goes up again in March, because the weather starts to improve, and also because my favorite little flowers (golden poppies) start blooming wildly along the sides of the roads, and I just think they are so lovely and beautiful that I can't be in a bad mood. As the weather improves, so does my mood. I love summer, so you'll see that my excitement levels are pretty high during these months. Also, July is Comic Con, and I have an amazing time every year, so that's the high point of my year. Also, I just love the concept of summer, which is (one of the many reasons) why I became a teacher, so I don't have to do anything during these months if I don't want to. When October comes along, I start to bum out a little bit, because the days are getting shorter, and I don't like the darkness. I wish it could be day all the time (sometimes). But, it's not super low, because I like Halloween. It perks up again in November, because I love Thanksgiving -- my favorite holiday. Then it gets low in December, because the days are unbelievably short, and then I always get really grumpy about the commercialization of Christmas, etc.

I really want to finish what I started this month, so I'm going to do my last three interesting things. As I start writing this, I realize I have only about 15 minutes left of this month to do it in. My three interesting things for today are going to be sites that you can go onto and find interesting things on.

#1 -- Pinterest. This is a site where you can pin up pictures of interesting things that you like. I use it for recipes, mainly, but I also like using it sort of like a bookmarks place.

#2 -- Stumble upon. This is a really random site where you can just click on a category, and then keep on clicking on the stumble button until you come across something interesting. I found a bunch of really cool quizzes this way, and also a bunch of interesting articles on psychology, which is really interesting to me.

#3 -- Ted.com. This is where I found a lot of really cool videos. The majority of them are lectures, but there isn't an uninteresting one in the lot. I have watched video on the economy of drug dealing which was fascinating, and I've watched videos on how our minds are not very logical at all. There are also performance videos which are inspiring and fascinating. I learn a lot, and I think that is really interesting.

Today, I want to point everyone's attention to This gem of a song called "Life in Mono" by Mono. Is there a way that any song can beat harpsichord elements + electronica + soothing female vocals? I submit to you that there is not. This song was on the Great Expectations soundtrack (the movie from the 1990s with Gwyneth Paltrow and Hot!Ethan Hawke), and I was mesmerized ever since I first heard it. It's awesome, and you should listen to it just because I say so.

I missed yesterday, and I'm barely getting this posted before today ends. My interesting things are: two very awesome songs. The first is "Nights in White Satin" by The Moody Blues. The second is "House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals. Both of these songs are made of awesome and win.
