This Device Seems the Height of Futility

     So, apparently Blogger now has a tip jar.
     Blogger has now added a gadget that allows people give you tips. That's right, folks, you can now give me money any time you want to by simply clicking a button. Now, I sincerely doubt anyone is ever going to actually make any money off of this, myself included. Therefore, I have resolved not to add this gadget to my blog.  However, I live to serve, so if public outcry becomes great enough, I will sacrifice this resolution and add this option to my blog.
     That's all she wrote.

Blow Pops

     I did something a little unusual today; I ate a Blow Pop.  Ya' know, the lollipops with the bubble gum inside? Yep, I ate a big cherry flavored Blow Pop today.
      *Yawn*
       I know, "Who cares?" Right?  Well, I thought it would be a good way to start off my summer of reinvention.
     "You're not making any sense, Courtlyn."
     Well, here's the thing: I'm a very insecure, self-conscious person.  That's a BIG thing that I'm going to be working on this summer. So, first of all, I've always had problems doing anything I deemed "childish," even things that I think are very positive and potentially enjoyable. Suckers of all sorts have always fallen into this category. Secondly, as we all know, Blow Pops (and other suckers) have a tendency to turn one's mouth a very vibrant, unnatural color. This, to me, was always entirely unacceptable, even if no one would see because I wasn't going anywhere on a particular day.  Even if no one else would see it, I still felt embarrassed or somehow inferior or something of the sort if my mouth were an odd color.
     But, now, my entire mouth is a very vibrant shade of pinky-red and the best part is that I'm okay with that.  And, I'm not gonna lie, I almost liked the sucker :P
     So, that's my day in a nutshell.
     "You've explained yourself, and we kinda get what you're saying.  But we still think you're really weird.  Mostly because you're faking a conversation with a group of androgynous, indeterminate entities that you like to think read your blog."
     Hey, that's your loss, Imaginary Audience.
     I'll try not to post anymore today, as this will be my third post. But no promises. XP

P.S. I'm experimenting with various new layouts and will soon choose one. Be patient until then and feel free to offer feedback :)

Due To Neurological Difficulties, The Imaginative Title To This Post Has Been Deleted.

     So, I need ideas. I know I'm going to be posting about the stuff I'm working through this summer and there'll definitely be posts about the mission trip next month and whatever else comes up. But I need some ideas on some things to do. I've obviously got a lot of time on my hands and I'd love to spend some or it blogging! So, what do you guys want to see?  A regular feature? A certain format? Specific updates? Anything! I'd love to have some sort of regular feature, but I have no idea what you guys would like to see! I could start a series of posts on something; I don't know,  Just give me your thoughts! :)
