In the readings the topic has dealt highly with the content. It talked about blogs, podcasts and twitter. In New Rules of Marketing by David Meerman Scott he also discussed how blogs, podcasts and news releases all are related. They are all different ways to inform and entertain future and current consumers.
Video content was another popular topic. With so many videos being posted every day more and more people are subscribing to certain companies and websites. They follow more blogs and subscribe to more podcasts. This is a very important way to connect to your audience and potentially attract more customers.

Summer!
When it's all over though and school starts back up the stresses come back, the sun tans fade, but the memories and priceless pictures remain.
Can I just say I am very excited for summer!

Watch Out Salt Lake City!
After arriving at the Gateway in Salt Lake we started with lunch so we could get our energy. We soon after spent a lot of money on a lot of stuff. We had so many bags to carry by the end of the day our arms felt like they were about to fall off. We did, however, choose the perfect day to shop. We didn't go into one store that didn't have some sort of a sale going on. We spend a lot of our time in Buckle. It is our very favorite store, expensive, but still our favorite. We also ended up buying a lot of chocolate at the local chocolate factory.
Dinner at Benihana was next. It was delicious, but a little overrated. Personally I like our local Kobe a lot better. We were joined by a family who, for whatever reason, thought we were just hilarious. We really weren't that funny.
Next came the hotel room. We were so hyper after dinner that we were jumping on the beds attempting to take pictures of us in the air. We also took some in what we like to call the "wind tunnel" (below).
Area 51
At first it was funny until they started seriously dancing on us. We had no idea if they were straight or gay, not that it mattered, but if they weren't dancing on a girl of some sort they were dancing on each other. This was extremely weird and made the whole situation that much more uncomfortable.
All of a sudden I was sandwiched between two guys. One was in the cage with me and the other was hanging on outside. I was being humped from every angle and was just standing there trying to wiggle my way out. My friends on the other hand were laughing their heads off at me. Rude, I know.
Finally, I said that I really didn't like being humped and they stopped. But, instead of leaving they said who's next and for payback I jokingly pointed to my friend Liz. They then sandwiched her. I found this hilarious.
Hilary eventually came to the rescue and they guys left. Seriously though, how do guys not get the hint. Us three girls are in the little cage on purpose. We want to be left alone. Some people! I'm just kidding, other than that mishap it was really fun.
I love dancing and love waking up the next morning being sore, you know you had a good night.

Get Sleazy!
On February 18, 2011 Ke$ha's "Get Sleazy" Tour hit Utah. The Great Saltair was packed with wall to wall people. Some took the get sleazy thing a little too far and were hammered. While others were a little young to be listenting to Ke$ha let alone attend her concert.
Her concert was amazing. If you don't like glitter it was not the place for you. There were people spraying you with glitter as you walked in and canons of glitter that exploded during certain songs.The lights were pretty cool too. Her first outfit even consisted of lighted glasses.
Now Ke$ha is know to be outrageous and crazy, this concert just proved that to be even more true. During the song "Grow a Pair" she actually had a dancing male part (for those of you who don't like dirty words). It was hilarious, but yet another reason why little kids should not have been there.
The concert was a blast and I would definately go to another one of her shows. My friends Alexa and Ashli came with me. We got all dressed up and made the most of every second we were there.

My Best Friend
Not only is Alexa my concert buddy she is my best friend. I have been friends with her since we were in 3rd grade. I can always count on her to be around when I need her, even though she goes to USU and I go to WSU.
We are the biggest retards together and can always laugh at ourselves. We have a saying that we promise to each other, "when we are 80 we will be the ones racing our electric wheelchairs around the nursing home". It reminds us we will always be friends.
Alexa is my truest friend, sure I have 2 other best friends, but they aren't always there for me and I hardly see them and they live all of a few blocks away. Alexa lives in Logan and I talk to her on a daily basis and see her every other weekend. I love her to death.
It feels good to have a best friend, but not everyone is so lucky. I watch my sister switch friends year after year and never have the one friend to rely on. I know it's hard for her, it's hard to watch.
To Urban Dictionary states that friends are people who are aware of how retarded you are and still manage to be seen in public with you. Being friends with Alexa this statement has proven its self true.
Do you have a best friend that you can be your complete and absolute self with? They are the best and are something to be very very thankful for.

Valentine's Weekend
I was, however, proud of myself for the arrangements I was putting out. They were beautiful, if I do say so myself. A co-worker said we were in a fight because I was doing so well. That was the highlight of the weekend.
Flowers are pretty, they make people happy. I love getting flowers any kind any color. Well some women are completely arrogant! "My husband didn't spend enough." "My husband didn't order the right thing." "My flowers are too fresh they aren't bloomed and look horrible." Well lady, I'm surprised you have a husband for one thing and that he was sweet enough to get you flowers and if they aren't bloomed it just means that in a day or two they will look beautiful and last that much longer. I don't understand how there can be so many things wrong with flowers, they are flowers!
A nightmarish weekend ended with me having an aching back, a terrible cold, and exhaustion. At least I have 22 hours of over time. I need it.

I have tried time and time again to get her to stop stealing my things, does she listen? Nope. My closet is a huge disaster because of her. Every morning I walk in there and have shirts on the floor, shoes all over the place and my shelves are a complete mess. Half the time I find she's wearing a new shirt I just bought and haven't even worn myself yet and it pisses me off royally. She probably has more clothes than my mom, my dad, and me combined, yet still steals my things.
She is so spoiled too. My parents just bought her a car because she's too busy with sports to get a job. I on the other hand had to quit softball because I needed to get a job so I could buy my own car. Then a week later she had a dance. When I went to a high school dance I had a $100 limit for shoes, dress, accessories, and tickets. My sister got a dress that was $150, shoes that were $75, and jewelry that totalled $50. No exageration. All she had to buy was the ticket a weak $18. She also got a new iPhone that day and 3 shirts just because. Now I got a laptop. I am so grateful for this present. It's all I wanted and I even picked out a cheaper one. I appologized to my mom when I saw the end price, because I knew it was over my budget. This was all the same day as my sister getting spoiled. She never once said thank you and just complained that she needed more.
Now don't get me wrong when it comes down to it I love my sister, but seriously girl? Be a little grateful.
My sister's Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=1402417700 shows pictures of said dance and possibly said car.
Parties
Well I attended an ABC party a few weeks ago. Of course the theme didn't stick and only the girl I went with, the boy who owned the house, and myself had dressed up. I wore a trash bag I turned into a formal dress. Anyway, the party was fun, until I got sick. The point of my story is I have the greatest friends in the entire world. My friend I went with left the party and "held my hair", she drove me to her house and let me sleep until I was okay to drive home.
Turns out I had a horrible flu which lasted a good week. You probably thought it was something else ;).
Other people I have attended parties with the theme has stuck and the iPod plays our loud DJ. I've attended a White Trash party where we all dressed like complete trash and a Black and White Affair in which only the hostess wore a different color. Parties that have a theme and can stick to them are always the best.
After reading this blog don't think I am a party girl because I am far from it. I just wanted to fill you in a little bit about the party scene at WSU. Which in fact is sort of lame.

Intro to my blog
My name is Kelsy and this is my blog. Live Life Loud is a blog about my life, mainly about my friends and family. There is always something crazy going on with my friends and family. I figured it's a way to share who I am and what I like to do in life. You may be surprised to discover things about me you would never have known just by giving a passing glance in my direction. I have different comfort zones depending on how well I know a person; very few people get to see that side of me. That is why I created this blog.
