Well this made me feel lame

      I thought it would be a great idea to mark all of the books I haven't read yet with little orange stickers...I had more unread books than I suspected. Now it is my quest to finish a majority of these books before I move on. That means I'm on a library ban for a little while, but it'll be satisfying to see the threatening orange stickers dwindle.

                              Off to read more, and Percy Jackson review will be coming soon!

Quick Update!

      SOOO besides the normal tv discussion and Fandom Friday, I will start putting up book reviews again as I have decided to take up the 2015 Reading challenge along with my 100 Books in a year. The 2015 Reading Challenge that POPSUGAR posted was suggested by a friend and I finally (sorry) got to really read through it, and I decided that it would be PERFECT to help guide the rest of the books I read this year. Basically, some of the list I will mark off if I feel that my previous reads fulfilled the task and the rest will determine future reads. Some examples include: "A Classic Romance" or "A Book with Nonhuman Characters" cool right?

      Also, I am almost done "shelving" all of my books on Goodreads so you can check out stuff I own, more up-to-date stats on my reading challenge, and books I plan to read. If you're a member, you can send me book suggestions (which I would ADORE!!) because who doesn't love having someone else to gush over a book with?

Below is a picture of the 2015 Reading Challenge (you might have to open in a new tab):

Updates and info for all of you lovely people!

      I have lots to update you on so here we go!!!

• As I have apologized many times for not being constant on this blog, here I am saying sorry again. Good news though, my study hall class at school has computers so I should be able to update a few times a week. YAY
• I'm adding new content to this blog. In the past I've blogged about books and just life in general. That isn't going to end because life continually happens and books are being read. I am going to also blog about music. As you may know from the past few posts, music has been a heavy influence in my recovery. I thought it would be cool to blog about new music/bands I'm listening to. This way you can add more to your musical libraries! 
• By adding music, I am adding a new page at the top of this blog (like my bucket list page). That page will have the new album I'm listening to, a link to my album review for said album, and a recommended song to check out. 
• another tab will be an upcoming dates tab so you all know what I'm doing. haha
• I deleted my list of 100 books in a year for 2014 because I failed and only made it to like 23. whomp whomp waaaaaaa. Oh well, next year I'll try to get closer
• and you're still awesome

That's all folks!

Well I kinda suck

I'm not even close to my book goal for the year. That makes me sad, and I've been neglecting this blog. That is why I suck. I do need to update you one one very important thing though. I want to let you know that I am 90% out of my depression. The reason why that 10% is still there is because I'm working on my communication skills and other areas that depression clouds. I really needed this past month to submerge myself in the things that bring me joy, help me work through pain, and relieve my stress, That was mainly music, prayer, and Tumblr. Tumblr may sound like a dumb thing to put on the list to many people, but I found out that many of mutual friends on there had gone through similar situations as I. Not depression caused by the people around me or home life, but sorrow within myself that appeared to be brought from within. It was like I had bottled up all that I desperately wanted to say and feel. Then it suddenly ripped my heart and mind to shreds. Sorry for the graphic nature of that last sentence but it's how I felt.

It's almost like I've been on Frodo's quest to destroy the Ring, and the last month was the the treacherous climb he, and Sam experienced up Mount Doom. This past week would be the equivalent to Frodo's struggle to let go of the ring (here it is if you need a refresher):

Depression has it's way of holding on to you. But I need to listen to my family, friends, and God do kick it out of my system or some bug-eyed creature (sorry Gollum) is going to try to bite my finger off!

I'll update you soon :) - Erinn xx

Spring Cleaning

     Time for an update! I know that I have changed the title to this blog billions of times, but I am finally satisfied with one: "Running Erinns". Little story about this and  then I'll get to the update. Whenever someone says that they have to "run some errands" I always hear my name and have often been confused. Well I also feel like the whole point of this blog is to share my life from people to possibly inspire or give a good chuckle to someone. I'm pretty much on the run with school and things like that so running erinns is the story of my life. My journey my adventures. Hope the title sticks too :)

     Besides the blog title update I am finishing the school year. I'm almost a senior! Wow...anyways the summer is sooo close and I am going to be doing so much fun stuff that I can blog about. I haven't posted in months (literally) because I took a "Internet consecration". Basically I wasn't on the Internet for a while so that I could get myself in the habit of spending more time with God, and less doing mindless things. I deleted my Tumblr. Long story, but it needed to happen. It was my biggest issue in many ways. I am still not on my twitter and facebook but will return soon. But I decided to get back here because I like this blog and missed it.

      There are going to be an abundance of things that I am uber psyched about because I have been wanting to do them for a long time! I bought a NICE camera to document it all, and finally I will get around to making those youtube videos I chatted about on here last time. I have started accomplishing two things on my ongoing bucket list (that I will update). One of which is learning to cook. My mother runs her own business downtown on Friday and Saturday so she is unable to cook dinner on Saturday night. I took the advantage of this situation by learning to make something new each week (from scratch) and it has proven very helpful in aiding my incapability to cook something other than eggs, which I just found out that I am allergic to, and Ramen noodles. The other bucket list goal I'm working on is reading 100 books in a year.

Hello, hello, hello!

      I know that I haven't written in a while, that's all due to school work and blah dee blah. During this break time though I have been pondering different ways for me to communicate with all of you at the next level, and amp up the fun. Because quite honestly this can become slightly boring to read at times and you can't always see my personality shining through sooooooooooooo I will be doing YouTube videos!!!!!!!!!! I'll put a link up because It's under a different name (Currently) because my sister wanted to start a channel with me. Request what videos/tutorials you want to see. Any questions, just ask:)

      I have so many random plans for the videos and I don't want to spill all of my secrets yet, but I can tell you that there will be some Bible study stuff and lessons occasionally, but I really want this to be geared towards having fun as a christian and modest ways to dress (Stuff like that). Kind of like a video diary of a faithful girl, without being INYOURFACEANDINYOURSPACE "I'M A CHRISTIAN". Because that honestly would be annoying and I wouldn't want to watch that at all. I'll do typicall YouTube videos and all that jazz. Just let me know what you're interested in seeing.

                                                Lots of Love- Erinn x.
