Uneducated Thoughts: The Female Gives Up Politics For Lent

Hey guys.
I'm just going to start this one out by saying
I don't care.
Now, don't immediately think I have become apathetic about my life.
Or have been totally reborn as a nihilist.
No.
I'm just giving up on trying to care about politics.
Now, I know, I know.
It's my country.
It's other peoples countries.
Its the way the world goes and I should participate in making it an ultimately better place.
But
let's face it.
I'm no feminist.
I wish I were a guys sometimes, not because I'm attracted to girls or anything,
but because I just respect guys more.
And I know, that's such an awful, heteronormative, gender-normy thing.
But I just don't care anymore.
Almost all of the people I look up to are guys.
(I'll admit, they aren't the manliest men in the world, but they're people that I honestly respect)
-
I read an article in the paper a little while ago
about how it's weirder to see a young boy wearing dresses than a young girl wearing guys clothing
because we still see girls as the lesser gender.
So why would a boy want to become weaker?
I just thought I should share that.
-
Speaking of the paper!
I can't even read it anymore.
I used to really enjoy it,
but now all I read is the film reviews, because that's the only escape from.
"Blahblahblah Barack Obama blahblahblah guns blahblahblah massacre"
It's all so depressing.
-
Additionally,
(because I'm just gonna spill my guts out all over this post)
I've become so sick of listening.
I mean, sure, I'm still open to listen and help when it's needed.
But I have been feeling so ready to just give that up,,
so willing to force my opinions onto others.
It's kind of a shame.
I feel so selfish.
-
I've been wanting an old instant film camera aLOT lately.
(Maybe inspired by this old video I found hanging around on the internet)
But I'm not willing to pay hundreds of dollars for it.
I've been looking in antique stores for one, but I haven't found one yet.
-
I've been doing a lot of art as well.
It's a really good way to get your mind off of things.

It's a quote from a
Driftless Pony Club song.

I made this one an hour ago.
And I drew this last night when I couldn't sleep.

(It says 'calm.')

It's really an enjoyable pastime, and it's something I'd love to incorporate into my future.
-
Um. Well.
That's all I have for you this week.
Check out my youtube for more videos.
See ya.

Uneducated Thoughts: I Want To Dance Like Bobby Birdman (When I Should Be Doing My Homework)

Hey guys.
It's me.
-
So, today I tried to work on a school project.
But, of course, with the internet being the giant web of information it is I got distracted.
Really distracted.
-
So yeah, soon I was watching videos of YACHT concerts and DPC tours.
I have no idea why my distraction took such a musical turn.
Have you guys ever seen Bobby Birdman dance?
It's kind of fantastic...

I just spent way too much of my day watching that.
DON'T JUDGE ME, HIS HIPS ARE MESMERIZING!
(Actually, not really. It's really more his knees.... And the hair flipping...
Okay, let's move on)
-
So!
New art video soon!
(By soon I mean as soon as I have it done.)
And maybe a new sound conglomeration.
Who knows how much I can get done.
-
In other news, I'll be going up to New Hampshire this Wednesday.
Yay, eight hour (or longer) drives!
Seriously, though, guys, I'm wicked excited.
If any of my New England familia is reading this, I'll be seein' ya'll there!
-
You know, I don't take enough time to acknowledge how much I love doing this.
If anyone at all is reading this, thank you so much.
It thrills me that I'm able to write multiple groups of short sentences about something no one really cares about.
Honestly, this is my light.
So, thanks, for that.
-
IN OTHER NEWS.
I have to run tomorrow.
Yayy, running.
I hate running around outside.
Last time I was practically dying after, like, a few feet.
I feel like I really want to exercise, but running is so intimidating.
Can't I, like, jog.
Slowly.
On a treadmill?
(Or one of those bike thingies, then you get to SIT!)
I'd totally start paying attention in gym class!
-
Well, in case you can't tell, I'm in a pretty good mood right now.
I don't know what it is, but I just feel good.
Not super great, just.
Good.
-
Hey, I took a picture of a light!
(That thing up there's a link)
Yeah, I quite like it.
So, you know.
You can see that.
If you'd like.
-
I suppose that's all I have for you know.
See you all on Tuesday. (Videoing early because I won't be here wednesday)
Probably no Uneducated Thoughts on Sunday, since I'll be in NH.
Sorry!

Uneducated Thoughts : Short & Sweet

Hey, guys.
I made a collage-type art thing today.
You can see it here.
If you want.
-
As I write this, I am currently listening to "Clique" by Kanye West.
Some people might say my music taste has gone down the drain.
I like to think of it as broadening horizons.
-
So, yeah.
Today I edited this week's wednesday upload.
It's great having this long weekend.
I don't have to worry about not having time to edit/record things.
Which means more frequent videos!
The only problem is going back to school on wednesday,
but I guess nothing lasts forever.
-
Election day is coming.
I'm just excited for it to be over.
I don't mind a healthy bit of politics,
but it's just getting tiring.
Maybe I'm a bad citizen.
-
I've been in a very artsy mood lately,
producing a lot of photoshoppy things and videos.
That's good, though.
-
I did neat things to a picture of space.
Maybe I'll do something with it.
-
Space is interesting.
It's so...
Big.
-
Today, I finished editing a video.
Definitely a new video this wednesday.
Absolutely no doubt.
-
I guess that's all.
See you on wednesday.

Bye.

Uneducated Thoughts : Not Quite Forgotten

I filmed a video today.
But I might not even upload it.
Nothing I say is interesting.
I live the life of a twelve-year-old,
with my parents and family.
There's nothing to do, nothing to say.
All is childish,
all is youth.
And it sucks.
-
I really hate this.
I know I shouldn't.
I know my age should be a good thing,
just something I have to deal with.
But, somehow, it becomes difficult.
I'm ahead of my peers in self-observance.
I pay attention to how I feel,
to what my life is,
and, in that, I am beyond them.
-
YACHT, Bobby Birdman, and Jeffrey Jerusalem dominate my playlists.
(Mental playlists, of course. In reality, I have to search for all songs individually)
As well as some Santigold, and a bit of Ratatat.
-
I realize that this might sound a bit differently than usually.
I'm still in my writer mood,
so this voice might not be entirely my own.
Characters might creep in at the corners.
-
I'm hoping that, relatively soon, I'll be able to work on a video I've been planning.
I don't want to give anything away,
but it might involve fake blood.
-
My mind felt like it went through a meat grinder today.
Splattered around the inside of my skull, it hung in shreds and modestly processed the world around it.
Accounting for much of my general tiredness, slowness, and general dissatisfaction.
For some reason, I get confused by feeling average.
When I'm not remarkably happy, sad, angry, or bored, it's strange, to me.
I can't pinpoint my emotions, can't categorize.
Some people consider organization a useful skill,
but sometimes it seems more like a bad habit.
-
Well, I suppose I'll just leave you with that.
Not much to say.
Hopefully, there'll be a video,
but no guarantees.
(It saddens me that I have to say that)

Uneducated Thoughts: Bone Broke

Hey.
It's me.
And I have no money.
-
I mean, I've got a bit,
but what does that count for when a good camera costs more than a couch at IKEA?
I've been scheming,
but I'm not sure if any of the ideas are all that realistic.
-
One idea, for instance, is to start a small-cale design business.
And, yes, I know I'm extremely young to start a business,
and that I'm not all that great at art, but....
I like it.
And, I mean, maybe someone could let me design a poster for them or something.
Or birthday invitations.
ANYTHING
-
Speaking of design,
I made a new image for my inspiration wall,
this one I'm quite happy about.
You can see it here.
-
Another scheme is, of course, selling things.
I just have to figure out how that would work out.
-
I've been listening to some Audio Bullys lately.
Not bad.
Who knew brits were so great at rapping?
-
Also, I've been wondering a bit,
Is anyone even reading this?
If you are, whoever you are,
type "here" in the comments.
Or put your favorite color.
Or just type a comment.
Something, I don't care what.
I just want to know how many people are actually seeing these.
-
So, today I went to IKEA.
The phrase "Enough of this OCD stuff." was spoken to me by my father, after I fixed a pole that was popping out of its wrapping.
Then my mom joined in with, "Yeah, you don't really have OCD."
Who said I did?
Because I put things in their wrapping when they're poking out?
Why were these words spoken?
They probably meant nothing by it, but...
It just makes me feel kinda weird.
I don't know how to explain it.
-
Well, I gues that's all.
Hopefully I'll upload on wednesday.
Sorry it was so short.

Uneducated Thoughts : "A New Medium: Panda Pornography"

Hey guys.
It's me.
-
So,
just recently,
my camera battery came in the mail.
There's just one tiny little problem.
The camera still doesn't work.
-
I've been listening to a lot of Pandora lately.
I think it's kinda neat.
-
I've also been a bit bored.
It's not that I don't have ideas.
I have plenty of ideas.
But they're all sitting around and getting stale.
I have no means of executing them.
Soon, they'll start rotting.
Gross.
-
My efforts to make a friend are going okay.
We still haven't had any successful conversations yet,
but we try.
We're getting there.
-
YACHT is going on tour.
Yeah.
With The Presets.
So that's pretty neat.
Too bad the closest place they're coming to is New York.
-
I wish I had something interesting to say.
But you guys probably don't care anyway.
Because you're only my family.
(Must. Make. Friends.)
-
I've been considering expanding my "Female Approves Of"
Should I?
I probably will anyway.
-
So, I had an interesting little altercation with my sister the other day.
Somehow, something about blogging came up.
She told me I should make a blog.
After a long, awkward, pause, I said,
"I already have one."
Then she accused me of using it to post Mitchell Davis/Panda Bear pornography.
And that was it.
-
I don't know why it scares me so much that she could find out.
It just does.
Oh well.
She will eventually.
(Probably soon)
-
I feel like I'm not doing anything.
I mean, I am doing things.
The other day I drew my self.
And I've been doing a lot of 'video research'.
(AKA: Watching Bath Boys videos and trying to convince myself it's a good use of my time.)
-
I'm still not sure what wall to make the inspirational one.
I've been wanting to make another page, but I need a quote.
And ideas, you guys?
I need to read something inspirational.
-
Well, I guess that's it.
I'm gonna go watch Youtube and wait for money to magically appear in my room.
See you on wednesday.


Bye.

Song: La Goudron (YACHT remix) by YACHT

Uneducated Thoughts: Disc Jockey > DJ

Okay, it's me
And let me just make something clear.
Disc Jockey > DJ
I mean, come on.
Isn't it obvious.
-
Ordered a new camera battery in the mail today.
Hopefully, it'll come soon.
Yay for that.
-
Meanwhile, I've been thinking about getting a tripod.
In case you couldn't tell, a bookshelf isn't the best place to put a camera.
I can't see what I'm filming.
-
Also,
saving money is hard.
Especially without a source of income.
Ah, well.
This is not the time to whine.
Good things shall happen!
-
Like friends, for instance.
I now know a girl with one of the catchiest names ever.
And she seems pretty cool.
Friendship?
I sure hope so.
-
I'm gonna try the new schedule, but who knows.
Maybe I'll change my mind.
For know, though
I'm working with what I've got.
-
I can't wait until I can get that battery and do my channel justice.
There's just too much suckish stuff on there.
I need to make something better.
I just need to.
-
Well, I suppose that's it.
I have off school wednesday,
so I'll try to upload a video.

Uneducated Thoughts: Real Feminism

Hey guys.
It's me again.
-
I got a new cardigan.
It's grey.
I quite like it.
My granddad used to wear lot of cardigans.
Maybe it's hereditary.
-
There's a really cool documentary coming out.
I'm real excited about it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCAAf7y8FOg&feature=g-user-lik
Can't wait 'till I get to see it.
-
This is one of those days when I feel like a true feminist.
Putting up with cramps without taking painkillers.
(Okay, fine.
My stomach can't handle the pills.
But still,
I'm tough.)
Top that, Ani DiFranco.
-
Today, I'm listening to Amanda Palmer.
Pretty catchy stuff.
-
We don't have school tomorrow.
It's Rosh Hashana.
I'm not Jewish.
-
It's sunny out today.
Almost fall, though.
Pretty excited.
I love the food in fall.
Pumpkin-flavored anything is pretty sweet.
-
Well, I guess that's all I have to say.
Enjoy my stream of consciousness.

Bye.

Uneducated Thoughts: A Collection of Short Sentences

It's me, Corrina.

I've recently been slacking on my videos.
My camera's broken.
My camera. Is. Broken.
And it's been driving me insane.
I just want to take pictures and make videos.
But that's hard to do when you have a camera that doesn't charge properly.
Or even connect to your computer.
Oh well.
-
So,
School has  started now.
The new school's alright.
I'm not loving music class.
Oh well.
Shtuff happens.
-
What do you think of the new background?
I kinda like it.
I enjoyed making it.
I'd like to do more background/title-y/graphic-type things, but I don't know what to make them for.
And I have school.
-
The election's coming up.
Hooray for that.
I'm not posting my political opinions here.
I don't want any arguments.
-
I did some homework.
It took me all day to finish.
At least I planned the story.
It's probably gonna suck.
-
I practiced the xylophone today.
Blech.
-
My friend Laura still talks to me.
It's actually kind of shocking.
I really thought she'd abandon me once I moved.
Thank you Laura.
-
I've been listening to a lot of Shades Of Waves stuff lately.
It's some cool stuff.
http://www.seeyouinsleep.com/shades-of-waves/
Makes you really appreciate the everyday world.
And the Tibetan Singing bowl.
-
I'm starting a new series.
It's called Uneducated Thoughts.
A lot of the posts will be like this.
Just my thoughts on things.
I hope you like it.

I'm Having Way Too Much Fun With This

Hey guys. Here's another Garage Party video I made.
 It was mainly just me having fun with iMovie, but along the way I've decided that it's a scattered story about a blue-eyed girl who has locked herself up in her house, but eventually learns to overcome her fear of the outdoors and obsession with the computer, and ventures into the outdoors.
 I've been wanting to make a video with this song for a while, and I'm pretty happy with how it came out. (Especially the "getting in and out of bed" scene. That was so much fun to make)

Song: Don't Stay In Bed by YACHT

Talking To A Camera

So.
This is just a quick little post.
I made a video.

The song at the end is I'll Be Alright by Passion Pit.
The reason I put in the "Garage Party titles is because my youtube profile page says "Garage Party" on the top of it. i make videos in the garage, so that's what I'm calling these.
Now, I would love to make a new youtube account called "GarageParty" or (even better) change my original screen name to GarageParty, but, you know...
Ever since YouTube joined up with Google,

IT BECAME ULTRA CONFUSING

I just want another youtube account, why is that so hard to accept?




Oh well.




Bye.

Trying New Things Is Hard

So, today I went out into the garage with my camera and took a few videos of myself talking. They aren't great, but I did put the lighting checks and some of the more awkward moments together into this lovely video:

Hopefully I'll be able to do more of this. (And talk louder than the crickets in the background.)

Bye!

What I've Been Up To

(I'm back, blogging on the blogisphere)

So, I'd just like to start this post off with a complaint:

What the hellck, Blogger? I trusted you!

There are numbers now!? Also, this was the easiest one I could find, the other ones were completely illegible.

How could you do this to me?

Okay, enough whining...

I've moved to another state! Yeah...I should have posted about that earlier.

But I didn't! :D

So... The other night my family and I were sitting around outside, talking while a candle burned in the middle of the table. I was playing with the wax when I decided to take some pictures with my mom's iPhone. I put them together in a little slideshow thingy, and put some music in the background (because, hey, music makes everything more epic, right?)

I'm sorry if it doesn't play correctly, the 'upload a video' feature is really confusing".


The song in the background is Very Scared by Those Guys. It's the most ominous rap song I listen to. 
If you're in my immediate family, you know of the crazy theory my sister has dreamt up that I only listen to YACHT. I'm hoping that this will help erase any concerns you have about that.


Also, what do you think of the new look? It might change a bit, but I think it's pretty cool.


Hm...Well.
I don't think there's much else to talk about. 
More posts soon. (hopefully)
Uh.....
Bye.

I Still Can't Believe it.

Hey! I'm back! I have awoken from my slumber to blog ecstatically about the concert I went to last night.
 A company of actors known as Starkid Productions (casually referred to as Team Starkid) came to Philadelphia last night, and I had the opportunity to see them preform. The tour, called APOCALYPTOUR, involves the Starkids just going to cities and playing their songs, or so I thought.
Here's what really happened. (Taken from my online conversation with a close friend)

 "Well, the whole idea was that they [the Starkids] were archeologists, who found an ancient Mayan ruin telling of the apocalypse, and a group of people called the Dikrats (Starkid backwards) who, by reading the inscription aloud, would awaken the god of chaos and death. The god (played by Jim Povolo) is called Margaret, and plans to destroy the world. But, as it turns out, the Starkids still have one last chance at saving the planet! Margaret is not only the god of chaos and death, but also the god of musical theatre. 

Along the way to saving our world, they sacrifice Joey Richter by tearing out his heart, almost give up, and finally end up earning a new Starkid!

This whole idea is sprinkled lavishly with witty humor and fun songs, keeping the audience excited and loud."

Yep. It's true (especially the loud part), and I'm glad it had a storyline! The show was an amazing experience, and I'm still in shock that I actually went.  It was totally worth the money, the long drive, and the waiting.

And, believe me, there was a lot of waiting.

 The line was a massive beast that stretched a long way from the entrance to the TLA (Theatre of The Living Arts), filled with girls from ages 11-27, as well as a few guys. We took up the whole sidewalk!

The entrance is that little swirly thing, labeled "TLA", and the black line indicates the group of people that wound through a few streets. This line, about four people thick, was gigantic, and I (indicated by the red dot) was right near the middle. It was a bit boring, but I didn't mind. The girl in front of us was nice, and, believe me, the show was well worth the wait!

 We stood on a balcony, getting a really good view over and/or in between the heads of the people in front of us, who we later learned were actually one of the actors' family! All in all, the show was fantastic and, even though we didn't get in on the balloon smacking, confetti catching action, we were glad to be able to see! I actually still can't believe I actually went, and it wasn't just a video I watched online. That whole "They're real people, oh my god!" feeling is just beginning to wear off.

All in all, it was a fantastic experience, and I'm glad to have gone.

2012 (Hooray, the year of the apocalypse!)

            I'm back. With a post that actually includes stuff involving my life! Hooray! Yeah so...happy 2012. Apparently, the world's gonna end this year. Alrighty then.

LOOK, I DREW YOU A PICTURE! (Multiple, actually.)

Life is beautiful.

They Might Be Giants (This one actually took some time.)

Scary Bird Thing...

Wow, that looks painful. I must have been having mixed feelings about life...

She just woke up...

Look, it's a hand!

"I'm an eye."

              Yep, there you go. I had very much fun drawing those last night. With my mouse. No fancy computer-pen-things for me. :) Well, yeah. Happy Day After New Years!

Happiness In Its Purest Form

 So, the other day I discovered this:

That is a combination of my favorite band, and a game I used to play.
AKA-It's awesome.

Screenshots~

Awesome.
