First blog, here we go.
My name's Holliston, but usually I go by Holli. I love a lot of things in life.
I love my eccentric family. I love having auburn hair. I love my old dog, Sausage, who shuffles around and looks at you with big eyes. I love photographs and cover my walls with them. I love travelling and seeing how unique yet similar human beings are. I love going to college and learning about how children develop. I love science and doing experiments. I love working with children with autism. I love taekwondo. I love running through the woods while blasting powerful music. I love British humo[u]r. (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, anyone?) I love music (epecially Regina Spektor, Ed Sheeran, Ingrid Michaelson, relient K, and Taylor Swift). I love writing my own music and lyrics. I love playing ukulele. I love sparkly and shiny things. (Even if it's random or trash, it will be stuck to my wall if shiny enough.) I love talking in different voices. I love planning my Halloween costumes. I love animals (especially cats, hedgehogs, monkeys and elephants). I love dancing in random places. I love dancing in non-random places. (Swing dancing clubs!) I love turquoise. I love hummingbirds. I love the number 37. I love watching Kid Snippets and AFV on youtube. I love laughing with my whole being. I love love.
My life motto is "if you see something, say something." No, not in the "I'm on the metro and that guy has a really suspicious package" way. (Although that's a good idea, too, I'm sure.) I mean it in the "that lady has a really fun hat" way. From living a little over two decades, I've found that people feel free to call out negative things when they see them, but find it "weird" to say something if it's positive. Therefore, my goal is to reverse the cycle. If I see something, I'll say something, and hopefully a few people's days will be uplifted in the process. If not, at least my own is--finding things to enjoy in life makes it fun.
So, that's a little about me. Enjoy my site!
