I have never been to the beach, so I don't know if I could give you an accurate description of it. I assume it's warm--unless you think going to the beach in the wintertime would be a pleasant event. I also assume it's sandy, and damp. The ocean crashes onto the shore every so often, lulling the tanners to sleep. If you're lucky, I'm sure you'll be able to find a shell that has "captured" that sound, and take it home with you, as token of remembrance.

But is this a cliche description? Is that how all beaches are?

I wish I knew. Perhaps I'll stumble upon the knowledge as I swim through life.

You know, I think I'll add "beach explorer" to my growing collection of creative dreams. I'll explore every beach, travel the world, collecting bits of sand from each one I visit in tiny, separate jars. I'll collect shells too, and different techniques on how to deal with sunburn.\

Yes.

I shall discover and explore the beach.

    Yeah, that's what the beach is like. I want to live under a dock when the tide is low and just stay there, with the sand burning my feet and the salty smell all around me.
    But that's just me. -.-

    You have summed the beach up so much better than I could and I have been so many times I have lost count.
    Living in Australia, there are beaches all around where I live and so we go at least once or twice a year.

    My favorite thing about beaches is how different they can be. What you've described here is lovely - the gulf shore with white sand and crystal water. Peaceful and warm and inviting. It really is a wonderful experience. But I think my favorite beaches are the Outer Banks of North Carolina. They're wild beaches. Crashing waves, rocky shorelines, crushed up shells instead of sand. Cold water and rough weather. Wild horses running up and down the coastline. Just as lovely as the pristine tropical beaches, but in such a unique, powerful way. :)

    Beaches are so beautiful. :) And I don't know how long you've had this design because I've been working at camp, but me likes it muchly. :)

    I've hated the beach for as long as I can remember, but now I'm starting to like it more and more. (I should seriously learn how to swim decently. XD)

May I ask for your [honest] opinion?

via Alrighty. I recently just completed my one hundredth blog design order [insert celebratory balloons, glitter cannons, and thrown pies here]. ;} And I was talking to my mother about this in the car, to and from the store. Basically, what she said was; "You've been doing your designs for a long time, right? So why don't you start charging for your services?" This got me thinking, and in my eyes, I feel as though charging for my designs would probably make me feel like I'm getting cocky, and too proud of my work, yah know? But I wanted to ask you guys, my honest readers; do YOU think my services are worth spending money on? Like seriously. If you wanted a new design would you choose me, even if it cost you ten dollars? I know most of it is just a matter of opinion. Every designer has their own way of doing things. Their own unique style. It all depends on what the "order-er" wants. I'd like to know if I have the capabilities of giving s...

Clothes Don't Apply--In The Summer

via  | enjoy this random photo of the ocean. No, it's not that kind of post. But I sure bet the post title caught your eye. ;) Ahh. Summer. It is here my friends (or it was...now everything is just cold and wet -.-). And as it rolls in--knocking Spring to the side--so does the heat. And thus my wardrobe drastically changes from sweatshirts and leggings to large (borrowed) shirts and shorts. It's also time to pull out the razor and shave away my still attached winter coat. -.- ^ something cute I wish I could wear. ^ *cough* Anyways. Summer. Lots of heat but also, lots of free time. My mother has decided my summer project is to learn how to drive. (Oh...yay... *sobbing consists in background*) And I hope to hang out with Kenz. But we'll see how June 6th goes. Also, I'm planning on getting lots of writing done, AND looking into (advanced) CSS and HTML for Blogger. AAAAAND I will hopefully take a writing class over the course of a few weeks. Maybe . I don...

"Look," she breathed, studying the sky. " Oh , look... Do you see it?" He looked down at her, his eyes twinkling like the many stars above. "Yes..." "Isn't it beautiful?" "Yes...yes it is..." She looked back at him, meeting his gaze. They were both thinking the same thing, and they were both scared of it. She ducked her head as his eyes moved away, focusing on the ground and the stars and the distance between them. + + + Oh, the fragile doubts of these teenage souls. Why is it that they fear each other? Why is it that they must disregard their feelings? Their emotions? All I can say is; be brave. Take a leap of faith. Because there is a chance it will work out.
