It’s so worth it! Even if you’re not any kind of graphically artistic person, it really helps to touch up pictures you want to share with people.

How I did it
It made me
grateful! 
How I did it: My Jonas Brothers story is kinda cool so I figured I'd share it with you guys.I read online that they were having a free show in Hollywood and I happened to be on my way to LA for a college tour. After the tour I figured hey, might as well go stand in line and see if I can get tickets while I'm here. So my mom and I stood in line at the House of Blues for about 2 hours until, dun dun dun, the guy comes out and tells everyone there's no mo… Read how I did it…
It made me
satisfied.
How I did it: It was an assignment for art class to draw a black and white portrait of someone. I do consider myself an artist but I've never been one to be very good at drawing realistically. But for the class we were supposed to use a grid to duplicate the photo so that made it TONS easier. Definitely a cool way to get proportions right and that kind of thing. My drawing is pretty much one of my most prized possessions now :]ps. props if you know who… Read how I did it…
It made me
excited!
How I did it: Well a friend of mine told me how she was getting jobs in the entertainment industry from Craigslist and suggested that I check it out. I scrolled through all the listings for a good 3 days until I came across people looking for talent that matched me :] I updated my resume, went and took some headshots real quick in my backyard, and sent them in. A day later, tadaa they want to meet with me. A week later tadaa I have an agent! The weird … Read how I did it…

It's so much fun!
18 months ago
Me and five of my friends have made an effort to try to have more sleepovers, and I must say, we’ve all been able to grow so much closer through them. We all went to elementary school together and now none of us (except 2 of them) go to the same high school! It’s really weird that we all ended up scattered throughout 5 different high schools when in elementary school we always thought we would be friends forever. We’re all pretty much still best friends, but having sleepovers every once in a while lets us all catch up on things all in one night. And it has provided so many fun memories and inside jokes that will probably last a lifetime!
Zune it up!

Zunes are just overall so much better than iPods. Oh yeah, and they don’t break when you drop them. I know for a fact. I cannot express my degree of loathing for iAnything. iThink the whole iThing is so iNnoying and ridiculous in general.
