People actually read this? wow...

As you probably gathered from the title, I recently became aware that a few people (ok...one person) actually reads this blog.
If you're that one person, don't think I'm stalking you (so...where do you live? :p)
I just happened to be waiting in line at McDonalds (I'm still working on the healthy eating habits thing) and I heard this person who happened to be standing in front of me, mention this blog to her friend.
And I'm certain it was this one because she said something like, "Have you had a chance to look at that reflection blog thing I told you about. There was this thing about taylor swift on it"...so unless there are other people posting about taylor swift on a blog called 'Reflections', I can safety conclude it was me...not that I volunteered this info.
Of course she also mentioned something along the lines of, "She writes some weird stuff. I don't know why I even bother to read it"...so thanks for correcting my false impression that people might actually enjoy this blog.
Still, it's nice to know someone (who probably stumbled across this blog by accident) reads this and the strange things I post...feel free to comment by the way! :-)

So the strange topic of the day...my guitar! Yes-I did just say what you thought I said.
That's one more thing you know about me now-I play the guitar (yeah you probably don't care anyway but still!).
I have this acoustic guitar that's about 10 years old now. It's still in great condition (if you ignore the parts where the paint is slightly chipped of due to my careless handling of it in my younger years) and the most amazing thing (in my opinion) is that it's never had it's strings changed. They've never broken...until today!
I was trying to tune it today with my electric tuner and for some odd reason the tuner wouldn't pick up the first 'E' string (for those who don't know their way around the guitar, the strings from bottom to top are in the order EBGDAE).
The kind of tuner I have says both the string number (1 in this case) and the note name (E) but when I tried to tune this string, the tuner picked it up as the 5th string-A. I figured this was because it was so badly out of tune (I hadn't played the guitar in a while) so I started to wind up the tuning pegs for a higher pitch and suddenly, while I was testing out the sound, the string broke!
And the worst part was my hand was in the way so now I have a scar down my hand-it looks worse than it feels but let me tell you it is NOT fun to get cut by a thin, fine, metal wire!
My guitar, as you can imagine, is temporarily out of service until I get new strings put on it. But I'm contemplating buying a new guitar instead since this one is quite old already.
I'm not sure if the saying "Old is gold" is applicable for this one!
So, since I have nothing more interesting or crazy to share with you today, I'll say- Thanks for reading!
And blog you later! (I'm determined to make this popular! One day...)
:-)
