Frivolous Friday!

{link-up to this blog}

How I treat myself?

Well, usually it's a little something like this::

Check recent statuses, post a status, creep on best friends/boyfriend.
Then once that gets boring,

I read a bazillion tweets, and retweet quite a few of them.
Then...

I check up on recent posts, see if I have waiting-to-be-approved comments, enter giveaways...
Most of this will be while listening to music, such as my favorite band...

Which I love oh-so-very-much.
And then, I'd probably sit there and play around with my pictures (:

I <3 Photoshop! :D

High Five For Friday- Winterjam!

High Five for Friday!  --  post-Winterjam edition ;-)
{link-up to this blog}

1. Building 429.<3 They played Where I Belong-- my jam. ;-)

2. Newsong.<3 I don't like the song 'Arise My Love' but they are so amazing live that I actually liked it. And they played 'The Same God' :D

3. Kari Jobe.<3 She played Revelation Song (in my opinion, one of the greatest worship songs!!)

4. Sanctus Real.<3 They are great. His voice live is...<3. 'The Redeemer' was played. Brooke's day was made. (haha, that rhymed :D)

5. And, of course, last, but never least:: Skillet! This is the only band I know that could have tons of people head-banging and jumping up and down, then, a minute later, in tears. (btw-- the tears were b/c of 'The Last Night') They played about 8 or so songs-- and I knew all of them and was screaming the lyrics (surprisingly, I still have my voice today!!):: Whispers in the Dark, Those Nights, The Last Night, Awake and Alive, Hero, Comatose, Monster, and Rebirth. I love them!

Old friends.

This one's gunna be a post about my life-- not clothes.

So lately, I've really been thinking about my old friends, and how many I've lost.
Another thing? How to get them back.

I miss my friends.
I really, really miss them.

Which is why when I got a comment on a status on Facebook from an old best friend, it made my day. This girl and me, we were inseperable. No joke. We did everything together. We knew everything about each other. She's the one who brought me to youth group for the first time. At one point, my mom was considering letting her live with us (which is huge because my mom would never let that happen).

So anyways, we texted for another three hours.
And she's said that the only way we'll be friends is if I apologize, in person.
Which I've refused to do for months. I just don't do that.

But.
I asked her to wait for me after fourth hour today.
So I can apologize.
This is big, guys.
I don't do this.
But I miss her, more than most of the other friends I've lost.
So I'm doing it, regardless of what I've done in the past.

Oh my gosh, KayleeBeth, you are AWESOME!! I LOVE my blog design! :-) It's gorgeous.
Do you like the new look?!

Oh, and I have buttons now!! :-)
Would you be a wonderful person & put one on your blog, please?

Anyways, I love my mom. We went to Aeropostale yesterday and I tried on a dress & it was super cute, and while I was changing back into my clothes, she bought it for me!! Wanna see it? :-)

from: www.aeropostale.com

I <3 my dress.

I also really wanted this one::

from: www.aeropostale.com

They have such cute dresses.
Any other stores that have cute dresses?!

Know what else they have that's cute? Flip-flops. ;)

from: www.aeropostale.com

I typically don't like floral, but I have to say, my dress and these flip-flops are super cute!!

And I have a ton of their old stuff that only says 'Aero' or 'Aeropostale' across it, but I have to say, I'm loving the new shirts they have. They have a lot of graphic tees!! Here's a couple cute ones I found!

Oh dear, I'm turning into a fashion blogger... ;-)

I've realized that I like blogging about clothes a lot more, because it's easier, and I love clothes. Like, for real. I have so, so many. Most from Aeropostale or Hollister.

So you may be seeing more posts about clothes. :-)

Well, that's all for today. :-)

Love you all!

<3Brooke!

Blog changes!!

Well, as you can see, my blog is no longer 'intelligent ramblings,' and it is now 'this is me.'
Intelligent Ramblings just seemed too... I don't know.

But I also have a new blog design!!
If you're looking for a new blog designer, look no further than this page:: Blueberry Blog Designs.
KayleeBeth, from raining daisies, designed my blog, along with mine and my best friend's blog, You Matter Too, which is for people struggling with depression.
She's great, so go check out her blog, and maybe even get your blog redesigned by them. :-)

Love you all!
<3Brooke!

The outfit.

May I just say, I love my shirt. :-)

Clearly, no, that is not me. That is the shirt, but the picture is from Forever21's website. They have *such* cute clothes! :-)

And I absolutely *love* these::
