Where for no particular reason everything starts to boil out of you, all your anger all your frustration, and you just want to slam someones head through a window. I’m having one of those years, 2009 needs to fuck off.

Explosions In The Sky

Make the most beautiful music I’ve heard. Get your hands on any of their albums (especially All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone). Put it on, close your eyes and let your imagination run wild. You will thank me later.

completecontrol:

Accessible
You’re comfortable expressing yourself in words and actions, with no self-censorship. You believe that if someone doesn’t like what they see it’s not your problem, but theirs. A high score on the “accessible” trait suggests that you have a lot of friends, and socialize often.

You don’t see the need to keep your thoughts to yourself, or to have a zone of privacy that encompasses only yourself and a small circle of friends and relatives.

Poised
You tend to feel at home wherever you find yourself, even in unfamiliar settings, with new people. It takes a lot to rattle you, and when rattled you recover quickly and gracefully.

You are usually not self-conscious or nervous when you’re in an unfamiliar environment or with people you don’t know.

Aesthetic
You appreciate art, beauty, and design; you know that they are not superficial but absolutely crucial to living the good life. You have good taste, and you’re proud of it. Those with a high score on the “aesthetic” trait are often employed in literary or artistic professions, enjoy domestic activities — doing things around the house — and are enthusiastic about the arts, reading, and travel.

You don’t think it’s pretentious to be moved by art and beauty. You’re not one of those who believe it doesn’t matter what something looks like as long as it does its job.

Original
You are constantly coming up with new ideas. For you, the world as it exists is just a jumping-off place; what’s going on inside your mind is often more interesting than what’s going on outside.

You don’t feel that the road to success is to be a realist and stick to the program; you never stop yourself from coming up with new ideas or telling the world what you’re thinking about.

Assertive
You behave in a confident and forceful manner, take charge of the situation, raise your hand in class, stand up for what you think is right, and lead others. Among those who have a high score on the “assertive” trait, many have jobs in which they are valued for their organizational skills as well as their talent for supervising others.

You are not interested in fading into the woodwork, leaving everything to fate, taking more time than necessary to accomplish a task, or avoiding confrontation.

Upbeat
You enjoy being around others and others enjoy being around you. You have a “live and let live” attitude; because you know that no one’s perfect, you are forgiving and happy to give the benefit of the doubt.

You don’t feel the need to be controversial or express contrary opinions all the time. You see no reason to go around rubbing people the wrong way.

Extroverted
You are ready to talk at the drop of a hat. Whether you’re in the office or at a party, you’re likely to be found gabbing away in the middle of a group of people. If you have a high score on the “extroverted” trait, you are probably among those who enjoy communicating with their friends (on the phone, on line, texting…), hanging out, and finding the best parties.

You are not shy or unwilling to spend a fair amount of time socializing. People you meet generally do not feel they have a hard time getting to know you.

Friendly
You would rather hang out with others than spend time alone, and you’d far rather be doing something with your friends than just sitting around. You’re happy in a crowded room, club, stadium, or auditorium.

You’re not a private person who is ill at ease in a group; you don’t view excessive socializing as a waste of time.

Tender
You are gentle with others, both physically and emotionally. You are careful not to upset people and go out of your way to find the nicest way to say something. You naturally focus on the fact that the world is full of wonderful people, places, and things. More often than not, people with a high score on the “tender” trait enjoy spending time with children, love romantic movies, and are enthusiastic about making the world a better place.

You don’t think of yourself as tough-minded or gruff, nor do you need to be seen as some kind of objective source of truth and rationality.

Optimistic
You are a “glass half-full” kind of person, always on the lookout for the silver lining. Your happiness is contagious, which is why others like to be around you.

You do not feel that the world is an intrinsically depressing place; you are not the kind of “realist” who thinks that only fools find joy in life.

Lies

Christmas is just around the corner...

mindymaygan:

And it’s never too early to get festive & start giving! Many families and children struggle to have a good Christmas. And even before then, it’s cold outside NOW and some could use extra blankets/coats/boots that you may have already or could pitch in for. There are tons of cheap and FREE ways to help.

If you’re not sure where to start…

Charities and Organizations

Contact your local charities and organizations to find out about their outreach to the needy during Christmastime. Offers are usually year round, accepting extra food, baskets, clothes, shoes, toys, and emergency assistance during the holidays.

Salvation Army

Find out if there is a Salvation Army in your area. The Salvation Army will often help with toy vouchers, food, clothing vouchers and other means. Their classic bell ringers collect donations to help the needy, and they put these donations to good use providing Christmas help for low income families. So next time you pass one of those people, take a second to give them your spare change :)

Christmas toy drive

Keep an eye out for local toy drives and food drives. Most stores and malls contribute to them, and you could buy a little something while you’re doing your OWN SHOPPING and just put the gift in the charity toy bin before you leave!

Visiting Retirement Facilities and Nursing Homes

Many people at Retirement facilities and Nursing homes don’t have family to come and visit them and bring them holiday cheer. Just stopping in and spending a little bit of time with them means more than you can even imagine! If you’re feeling really giving, bake some goodies, or some gifts to give to them when you come!

Letters to Santa

It’s something so small and almost free, and might mean the most to kids this holiday. You can go to http://www.santasheart.org/ and it only takes a tiny bit of your time and it’s so fun being creative and writing letters pretending to be Santa. Just remember what you would have thought as a kid if you recieved a letter back from Santa!

Humane Societies & Animal Hospitals

They can ALWAYS use your help with any donations, and free volunteer work with cleaning, walking, helping look for lost pets, etc.

Churches

Inquire at your church, asking the pastor or community outreach coordinator about receiving assistance for your family or a needy family you know. If your church is collecting food items or toys for Christmas giving, ask if you qualify to be a recipient. Basket of bread

Look up your local food bank and find out the requirements to receive food and produce through them, and if they have extra food baskets during the holidays to help provide Christmas help for low income families.

Friends help

Accept offers from family and friends to help out in your time of need. That’s what friends and family are for—to help each other through the rough times, together.

Utility help

Ask the utility company for information about winter assistance with heating and electric bills. Find out what programs they refer needy families to in order to receive assistance keeping the electricity on.

So hope this helped! We can all do good with just a little love. Pass it along  :)
