1800s photo shoot

So, I hadn't done a photo shoot in quite a while.

My birthday is coming up soon, and I am having a costume party. The biggest problem with that is that I have so many costumes that I really want to use, but I clearly can't wear them all.

That was really bothering me, trying to decide which one to use, so I decided to just use them all. It will take a while to do all these photo shoots, but I am really excited.

Today I decided to go ahead and do one. It was kind of a 1800s thing.

Stay Gold

Spoiler Alert!!

Last night I watched The Outsiders for the first time. I've never read the book, and didn't really know the story at all.

My mom watched the movie for the first time when she was about 10 or 11 at her friend's house for a birthday party.

After I watched the original Karate Kid movies (the ones with Ralph Macchio), Mom told me that I should watch the Outsiders, because Ralph Macchio is also in that movie.

I was not expecting the movie to be so sad.

In which Blog of a Darkmoon Carnie has a birthday

A few days ago was this blog's first birthday!

September 9th, 2012 was the first day that a post was published on here.

Here's a link to it, if you want to read it:

First post!

I didn't realize how much has happened in the past year until today. 

A strange dream

Last night, I had a strange dream.

Not that that is really out of the ordinary, I have strange dreams most of the time, but this dream felt different.

For the last several nights I have been dreaming that America is kind of falling apart. A few night ago I dreamed that there was a war going on through the winter, and it had even affected my neighborhood, but we were having a dance, so that things would feel normal anyway.

They've all been dreams like that. I don't know why I've been dreaming about wars and how Americans are trying to keep pretending like it wasn't happening, I guess maybe the whole thing with Syria is getting to me.

Dreaming.

Hey guys.

So, last night I had a weird dream, that really confused me, and I started wondering,

Do dreams mean anything?

I mean, in Bible times, when someone had a dream, it meant something. God was telling them something. 

But now, most people dream every night, or at least, most nights, and we don't think anything of it anymore.

Rainbows at the end of the Storm

At the end of every storm is a rainbow.

We've all heard that, or something like it. We all believe that God will bring us out of the storm and we can appreciate the beautiful rainbow at the end.

But life isn't always exactly like how we think it should be.

We expect the storm, then we will personally get to see the rainbow at the end, but that is not always the case. Sometimes our lives are there as a beacon of hope to others, even if we don't get to share in that hope.

Boys and girls, bestfriends?

Have you ever had a best friend of the opposite gender?

I have. I have always preferred the company of guys instead of girls. I always told myself that it's because girls are so dramatic, or they don't like me, or I don't like the way they dress, or some excuse like that.

I know the truth. It's because I like the attention I get from my guy friends better. Not that I dislike my girl friends, but, we all know that girls like the attention of guys.
