Okay so my Ipod headphones died several months ago so I went and bought a pair of Phillips headphones to replace them. But I have found that certain brands, Phillips being one of them, don’t fit my ears (I have small ears). So I took the Phillips back and bought a pair of Sony (one of the few that fit my ears) headphones and they worked fine, but only for about a few months and then they too died. I was hesitant to buy the same pair, even though they I knew they fit, because they didn’t last long and I put my headphones to work! I have tried a few brands and different styles (In-ear or noise canceling). Right now I am trying two different styles and brands, Sony MDR-ED21LP (the black ones) and Apple’s Ipod headphones (the white ones).

Sony:
Pros: Seems to have a clearer and better sound, stays in your ear better
Cons: Starts to hurt after wearing them for long periods (which I always have my headphones), if you sleep with them in they push in farther and hurts

Apple Ipod:
Pros: Can have them in all the time, good sound, stays in your ear ok
Cons: On certain songs they can buzz at certain points (And I love LOUD music), has a more muffled sound compared to the Sony’s

So I have no idea which ones to choose or if I should take them back and try something different. If you have any suggestions or have a pair of headphones that you love let me know and I may try those out.

Hey all! I know that I changed my blog name a few months earlier (A Love Hate Masquerade) and now I am changing it again. At the time that I chose the name, A Love Hate Masquerade, there were things that I was going through and the name fit me at the time very well. But I eventually moved and and got over those things I was feeling. Now with the new name (One Girl Revolution) it pretty much describes every girl on the face  of the earth.  As a one girl revolution, I stand up for who I am and what I believe and not let the world change my thoughts or beliefs. So I just felt that this new name fit who I am better than “A Love Hate Masquerade.”

So it has been forever since I last listened to DC Talk and their song “Jesus Freak.”  Well ever since I got an Ipod video nano for Christmas, I have been able to put a lot more songs on it then my previous mp3 player (Ipod - 4G) so I decided to put two DC Talk songs on, “Jesus Freak and My Friend (So Long)”.  I never had really listened to the lyrics for the song “Jesus Freak” until recently and I when I had I busted out laughing at the first verse!

This just absolutely made me laugh:

“I saw a man with tat on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
Cause I had to match the rhythm
Of his belly with my head
jesus saves is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city
And claimed he had a dream”

But my favorite line in the song “Jesus Freak” is:

“People say I’m strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger”

I love that line! 

Hey so most of you know that I have dyed my hair in the past (blonde, dark red/purple w/ pink highlights). Well I decided that I was done with the red and wanted to go back to brown (my natural color) so I got a brown hair dye as close as I could to my natural color, but the red was sooo strong that it only lighter or less noticeable. I have lately loved my darker brown hair (a mixture of the brown and red) and thought what I would look like with….black hair! So since black is very permanent and if I didn’t like it well, tough luck trying to get rid of it! So I got a semi-permanent (which will wash out completely after 8-10 shampoos) in black. And again the red was really strong so it is not black but a really dark brown with a little black. I will post a picture on my flicker account (there is a link to it on my site) later.

*Update-I will not be posting a pic of my hair because I forgot to take the picture and now the color is fading/faded.

So just the other day my mom was watching the redneck/hillbilly comedy and was watching a Korean comedian with a southern accent (interesting combo?!?). Anyway for a non-Christian comedian he was very clean. He had this one thing he said he learned from his wife (who grew up in a small Alabama town) that you can insult anyone as long as after you insult them you saw “Bless their heart”. Then you are clean, it makes a clean slate like you never said it. Anyway check out part of his routine on YouTube:

AHHHHHH!!!!!! Ok for my past High school years I have had it easier than I will this year. I have a ton of stuff I didn’t think of, like College applications. While studying for the SAT, I came across a “Plan of Action” for seniors (for High School not old peeps) and the senior year of High School. They made the suggestion of finding 4 or 5 colleges you would be interested in going to and apply for them in the fall. So guess what I have been doing for the past 3 or so days…..looking at colleges. And let me tell you THEY ARE FREAKIN EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!! I was looking at them and nearly had a heart attack at the price for just tuition, one of the cheaper colleges was about $24,500 just for tuition. No books, no dorm, no class, nothing, just tuition! Yikes! Apparently to get into college you need this crazy thing called MONEY, which I don’t have!

So I was thinking of getting a summer job this past summer, as you can tell that didn’t happen, but I was unable because of everything going on and me having to take the SAT prep course and my parents didn’t want to add more on. Then I thought maybe a job over the school year, and that definitely is not going to happen! My school day will probably end around 6 p.m. (if I am lucky!). And I have reports, current events, and book reports just about every month. Again Yikes!

Also this year cause I am taking Physical Education I am to choose a sport or something like that (walking, running, swimming, soccer, volleyball, etc.) and then everyday (Mon-Thrus) I am to “train” myself to be able to meet the Skills Test (Fri). So for running by the end of the week I need to run a mile in 14 min, then each week the time gets less or the miles get longer. Now all you peeps in shape are thinking, “Oh that is nothing. Piece of cake.” Right?!?! Not so much for me. I was never really a “in-shape” kinda girl. Well I was till we started homeschooling and then I really didn’t do P.E. except for riding my bike or swimming, normal stuff. So it is definitely going to be a challenge for me. But with me dieting and then this P.E. class I will be in great shape!!! Oh yeah baby!

Hey, if any of you are interested to check out the “Plan of Action” thingie click here They also have a “Plan of Action” for juniors in High School. I really suggest it so you are well prepared for the upcoming years. They have great tips for lots of things, help with the SAT, and helps you find colleges. So check it out, explore it!

Hey also if you have any tips for me about the running and how not to kill my body, please share *sniff* please!
