A Pitch Perfect weekend.

Even though some of you are pretty thin, you all have fat hearts, and that's what matters.

You're one of the a cappella girls. I'm one of those a cappella boys, and we're gonna have aca-children. It's inevitable.

Well... sometimes I have the feeling I can do crystal meth, but then I think, mmm... better not.

Aubrey: What are you doing? 

Fat Amy: Horizontal running. 

Told you. Endings are the best part.

Let us begin again~

Life is full of changes. It’s true; look around you, in fact, look at yourself. Can you remember being small? Can you remember losing your first tooth? Can you remember when you first started learning? Can you remember liking something that you used to like? Even if it is very vague, you can at least remember doing something of that sort. Now start remembering how you changed because of that. And just know that it’s normal.

So don’t be angry or worried if I’m changing too. I’m just like you, a person who can’t help but change even if it is unintentional. However, some changes are intentional like my blog. I couldn’t stand having the same theme for the rest of the year, because it will start boring me. Plus there are so many html tricks, begging to be used; and I couldn’t help but use them. Even if this meant altering nearly everything about my blog.

Plus, I didn’t want to have a blog title that doesn’t have anything to do with me or my life. I wasn’t a baker by nature. And by using the blog title, Sweets Galore, kind of implies that I am, despite the fact that there wasn’t any baking going on, on my blog. I am however a teenager who likes the band Of Monsters and Men, especially their song Little Talks. And, I am talking to you guys no matter how little I have to say. So the new blog title, my little talks, fits much better in my opinion.

So without further ado, let’s begin the whole blogging business again. 

P.S. Don't be surprised if there are a few small changes here and there.

Another French song that I can't help but like because of its randomness.

Full of books, February.

Currently, these are the books that I am going to read for the month of February.

• And Both Were Young by Madeleine L'Engle.
• The Girl in the Wall by Daphne Benedis-Grab
• Tempestuous by by Kim Askew, Amy Helmes
• Louder Than Words by Laurie Plissner 

This is pretty satisfactory, because with school and its love affair with homework, as well as midterms, and a slight tiredness that decides to visit my body most days, I don’t really feel like reading much  now days. However, these books are around two hundred pages, so maybe more books will find its way to my too-read-this-month pile…

 But, first, Tempestuous.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants blog twist.

Not so long ago, Orphu from A Mirror Made of Words gave me an award. (Thanks by the way ^.^). And it’s the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award, which reminds me a bit of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, hence the reason why it’s in the title.

And like any other blogging award, it comes with a set of rules.

• Acknowledge the person who passed the award to you and provide their link.
• Include the award logo on your blog.
• Answer the ten questions posted below.
• Make up your own ten questions for the next people.
• Nominate blogs and link those you have especially enjoyed reading. The number you can select is up to you.
• Notify each individual that you have nominated them

1. What’s the first thing that comes to mind when I ask you this question? Candy canes, and I have no clue as to why I am currently thinking that.
2. What’s your favourite flightless bird? Through the useful links of Wikipedia, I have found  two that I particularly like. The Cretan Owl and the Tyto pollens. They’re owls who became extinct due to humans taking over their living space. 
3. If you could no longer be a mammal, what creature would you be? (No idea why you would have to stop being a mammal but it’s a legitimate question, all right?) I think I would like to be an owl. They’re quiet (most of the time), fluffy, wise, and nocturnal.
4. Have you ever misread a word that drastically changed the meaning of the sentence? What was it? I don't think I have, but my mind does have a small symptom called bad memory, so it could have forgotten it. 
5. Stargirl or Pippi Longstocking? Even though I haven't read either books of either characters  I have to say Pippi Longstocking. The reason is because  she seems more interesting than Stargirl and I also heard about her more often. 
6. If you were forced to leave this world in favour of a book-world, which world would you pick? Le Cirque de Rêves from The Night Circus. The reasons are because, it only opens at night, there are many events going on using actual magic (with nothing attached to it), and the food seems amazing. 
7. What are your feelings about Pluto? I have no clue. I can see why the scientists deemed it as an dwarf planet. And I can also see why people want it to become a planet again. 
8. If you had to get a tattoo, what tattoo would you get? A quote written in french, possibly Je c'écrirai... plus tard.
9. Would you attend Frodo and Sam’s wedding if they invited you? I'm not sure, I haven't read The Hobbit or even seen the movie. So, I'm not really sure what their personalities are like, but if they seem cool, sure. 
10. What would you have been named if you were male? Probably a dude named Timothy.

Now comes my questions. 

1. What is your favorite Super Bowl commercial and why? (It can be a commercial from the past or now).
2. If you were a fish for a day, what would you do? (Provided that you didn’t get caught by a fisherman, of course).
3. What is one thing that you are excited for this year?
4. One afternoon, the Doctor shows up on your doorway, and with a serious expression on his face, he says the words that you’ve only heard him say on television, “Would you be my companion?” Do you accept the offer and run with him, or would you not, knowing that you have a normal life to attend to?
5. It is a windy afternoon, and you are walking home from somewhere tedious, when you happen to chance upon someone important… Who is it, what is the reason for you bumping into them?
6. You have the chance to Skype with anyone (including animals and/or extraterrestrials), who is it and what do you two talk about?
7. What is your favorite piece of writing that you have read this year? (It can be a quote, book, fanfiction, etc.)
8. Have you done something badly on purpose, just so you won’t have to do it again?
9. Do you have a platonic relationship with anyone? If so who? If not, do you want one? If so, who?
10. Do you remember any random lyrics that may have been floating around in your head lately? If so, what are they?

And then, the nominees.

• Cossy from Endless Ramblings and a Fez
• Juliet from a purple sky

Happy (very late) birthday Sweetie.

It's been about a month since the New Year has started, and already I broke one my resolutions. For at least once a week, write a post on Sweets Galore. As you guys may have noticed, I have not been doing that at all. A roll of excuses about my absence could fall off my head and land onto my hands to be typed out. And they would all be true, however would I really mean it when I say sorry and try to attempt to go back to that particular New Year’s resolution? The answer, my dear readers, is no.

I won’t really mean it if I apologized about ‘abandoning’ my blog and not abiding to that particular resolution, because that sentence wouldn’t feel true. However, I am a bit sorry that I have not been posting lately. My head does not want to keep on having to invent new post ideas every single week, it, as well as I, would like to have some time away from the blogging world to do our own thing, which is living life.

However, I am a bit sorry whenever a perfect opportunity to blog passes by. Simply because I don’t have the time or energy or it may have slipped from my mind, for me to actually go onto BlogSpot and type the whole thing down.  A perfect example of this would be my blog’s birthday, which turned two on January 8^th of this year.

So to make up for it, I am going to post four videos that I like right now.

One is a book trailer for a book that I have recently reread.

Another is a Disney short film that has no words.

The third is a song that involves school.

And the last video involves science.

So without further ado, here they are.
