       To my teenage peers my typewriter is worth the word "cool." To the market its worth roughly $150. But to me my typewriter is priceless. 

       Being an antiquarian I find something unique about any vintage or antique thing out there. Typewriters have always been fascinating to me. They never crash, never need software updates, do not become obsolete every four years, and require no backing up. Because manual typewriters require no electricity, they’re environmentally friendly. You can work in full sunlight, and not have to worry about the glare on your screen. You can spill your drink on the keyboard and nothing terrible will happen to your typewriter. Typewriters have unlimited battery life, and never overheat. If something goes wrong with your typewriter, a screwdriver and some WD-40 are usually all you need for the repair. Typewriters give your fingers a good workout, so it kind of feels like exercise. Your eyes never hurt from staring too long at your typewriter. They will never be hacked (and My Remington Rand model 10 noiseless typewriter more then likely won't be stolen... it's pretty heavy.) Typewriters encourage your writing by providing a celebratory ding at the end of each line written (Okay fine so I don't have a ribbon in there to type with... yet :) 

       My absolute favorite thing about typewriters is they allow you to be human. You can make spelling errors and mistakes without auto correct to remind you of the strict grammar rules that come with the English language. Don't get me wrong spelling and proper punctuation is important but it's the story or letter or lyrics or thoughts that matter most, not the way you spell certain words. 

        I love to write but when I'm typing things on my computer it likes to find ways to remind me where I'm going wrong, and to me there isn't a wrong way to write (not to mention the little squiggles under all my mistakes are quite distracting).

UPDATES

Hello Loves, 

I apologize for not posting much lately, things have been pretty busy lately... hope everyone is well!

Photo creds to Mom

Our X - neighbors recently came up to visit and it was sad to see them go; we had a lot of fun and I hope to see them once more before the summer comes to an end.

So I'm always looking for new products, clothing, etc. and I came across a product called Dry shampoo. Now I'm not sure why I haven't heard of this but I was watching a you-tube video and a tuber recommended this as a must have. Not only is this amazing for those 

I-took-a-freaking-shower-last-night-but-my-hair-looks-gross days. Now buying this product only a few days ago I haven't experimented with all the brands out there yet but Herbal Essences works nicely. I find that if you spray the shampoo too close to your head it will have a hairspray feel... however no matter what you do with this stuff your hair is always soft and smells amazing. It also keeps your hair somewhat in place; so in a way it's like a light hairspray (because it doesn't smell like chemical and it doesn't make your hair look fake, it actually makes it soft) and shampoo (no stripping or water required) in one! It's defiantly worth a try!

A new movie came out recently called McFarland USA. The movie was produced by Disney and was really inspirational (As most Disney movies are). If you're looking for a movie to connect to or be touched by McFarland USA is a good one.

A picture I took of a dragonfly, look at those wings!

I'm going to top this off with off with a small rant. 

I am all about expressing yourself, however I am not a fan of tattoos, piercings, or hair dying. To me these three things give off the wrong vibes. If you're walking around with a metal face and purple hair chances are it's going to be hard to find employers and respect from most people.  The lack of respect comes from the image you betray, lack of self respect. I mean honestly, - it shows a disrespect for your body. Punching holes, damaging hair, forcing unnatural looks. Aside from disrespecting yourself it's not attractive. I have a lot of guy friends that I talk to regularly and only one claimed that tattoos were attractive however I got discussed looks when I mentioned the piercings and hair dye. 

"Ultimately," my close friend states. "True love has nothing to do with piercings or what she wears etc. etc. but I'm not attracted to it, like at all. Like, one piercing is alright in your ear. Or two in your ear but other then that...eww. I think a woman or girl or whatever should respect herself before she expects anyone else to like respect her." Words of wisdom from my 14 year old guy friend. 

Along with disrespecting yourself and sending off bad vibes...

-not all piercings heal.
-some require surgery to 'fix' (stretching lobes for instance.)
-piercings can cause scars.
-dying your hair damages it, and once you dye once it's difficult to stop (letting the roots grow out irritates a lot of people so they have to dye again and again and again.)
-dying your hair is unnatural, using chemicals to damage your hair so that it will accept an unnatural hair color. If you're trying to figure out who you are, I don't understand why you think unnatural methods will help.
-schools often have rules against it. 

-it's not about 'being yourself' it's about 'following the trend.' If you want to be yourself and figure out who you are... you don't do it by trying different trends and fashions, you do it by learning who you are and loving yourself.  

And with that I'm concluding my UPDATES post,

One Direction Concert

Since the day they started in 2010 I have been a fan of One Direction. To most One Direction is a cliché boy band from The UK; but to me they're so much more. They're my idols and in a weird way they're my friends. Friends because there music touches me and idols because they went for their dreams, even if it meant singing with 4 strangers to get there. Friends because they were there for me while others dropped out, and idols because they didn't let The fame and fortune get to their heads. Their music in itself is like a friend to me because it speaks to, and in an odd way the music understands. 

Say what ever you want but I'm not the only one who's been helped by their music...

Again judge me all you want but I truly believe music can heal people, that it goes strait from your ears to the soul; which is why when I heard I was going to a One Direction concert I flipped out! I screamed cried the whole nine yards (my mature, cool, and collected side disappeared momentarily). I have been waiting 5 years to see them so this concert means that much more to me as you can imagine. 

Despite my desire to meet them being beyond any scale the likeliness of me meeting them is slim; so I'm going to wrap up this post by writing what I would say to them

"Thank you for all the laughs, and your incredible music and everything in-between, I love you guys."
