Which State Matches Your Personality?

state

My result seems completely off as it put me opposite of Washington, but what can you expect from a 10-question survey? According to my personality, I belong in Florida – yikes – who wants to be there, right? Curious about where your personality will match you? Take the survey by Time Magazine here.

The Space Coast

photo cred | David Ryle

I stumbled upon this photo series the other day by David Ryle showcasing the build up to the launch of the Atlantis space shuttle. These were taken on the East coast of Florida. Ryle was hoping that with this series he could capture the notion of space and the way humans relate with their surroundings.

Demi Lovato and Jonas Brothers forced to cancel concert in Tampa

Last night, the stars of Camp Rock Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers canceled their concert in Tampa, Florida after their venue started flooding due to heavy rainfall. Fans were incredibly upset and didn’t hold back on expressing it. Demi Lovato received many messages from her angry fans via Twitter that she decided to take a break from the social media website altogether and going on hiatus.

The flood surrounded the seating areas near the stage and even backstage. The show won’t be rescheduled, but those who purchased tickets are able to seek refunds. To read more about the story click here.

Um sick.

See Claudia Date

See Claudia Date, have you met Dating Brian yet?

Funny, you guys seem to be doing the exact same project [30 dates in 30 days] at exactly the same time. It seems almost fitting that you guys should have at least one date together, don’t you think? The only problem is that Claudia seems to be in Florida and not New York City. Super bummer…

Regardless, I still have a massive crush on Dating Brian hahah

Harvest of Hope Fest

This weekend, the Harvest of Hope Fest is going down in St. Augustine, Florida. This is the first time I’m ever hearing of this festival, but they seem to have a fairly decent lineup including my favorites: Portugal. The Man, Kimya Dawson, Rogue Wave, Matt Pond PA, Kid Sister, and many more. To check out the rest of the lineup click here

All proceeds from this festival will go directly towards the Harvest of Hope Foundation, a non profit that seeks to provide both educational and emergency aid for migrant farm workers . You can buy a one-day pass or a three day pass. Just kidding you can’t buy the three day pass because the festival starts today. My bad.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

It’s coming this Spring! The new park will find it’s home at the Universal Studios in Orlando. I feel like this park opening is going to be like 23948723 x more exciting only because we’ve read everything about it in the books so we know what it will be like except better. I can’t tell you how many times while reading the books, I thought to myself, “I want to quit school and become a wizard. Maybe I’ll get lucky and discover I’m at least a muggle!”

Yeah, I was one of those kids that wanted to live through books. It’s cool. Anyways, the new site is up!! So go here for a little sneak preview.

But, I’m going to leave you with a little bit of news also…

Enjoy a day at Disney for Free!

Currently, the price for one day ticket at Disney Land is $72. That’s…a whole lot of money that I definitely don’t want to spend. Maybe Disney Land is finally recognizing that people just don’t have that kind of paper to throw around anymore so they are offering a new deal for people.

Starting January 1st, 2010, when you sign up here to volunteer a day of service with a participating organization (and your service is completed and verified) you’ll get one day admission to a Walt Disney World® or Disneyland® theme park, FREE! We want to inspire one million people to volunteer a day of service.

Moar details can be found at DisneyParks.com

How precious. Do a good deed and save yourself $72

Home sick?

Going to an out-of-state school can be really difficult sometimes. Buy a pillow that reminds you of home and squeeze it tight because that’s probably the best you’re gonna get. 🙂

The brand “Love, California,” also makes these pillows in the shapes of Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois and hearts (for a non-state mix.)

To purchase these pillows click here
