Fall!

The leaves are changing color

soon they'll fall to the ground

they'll blanket the Earth

and tell of coming Winter

when the clouds will cover the sky

and the sun will seem smaller 

as it tries to break through the clouds

the trees will stand naked and wait til coming spring

so new life can be born and soon bloom

becoming the heat of summer

so they cycle can begin again.

Ahhhh... I just love fall. Its the best season out there because its just cold enough that you can wear boots and sweatshirts, but not too cold that you completely freeze your butt off. So its quite nice. Plus the trees are always absolutely beautiful with the red, orange, and yellow leaves falling from the trees (I just made a rhyme!). And lets face it, who doesnt like tromping around through the leaves on the side of the road and kicking them up and I love it when the leaves make a little tornado in the street when the wind picks up, its so fun!

And by the way, the above poem is an original, from yours truly! Hope you enjoy.

Fall is in the air! 

I Know What I Wanna Be, Do You?

In my life, I think a lot about the future. I'm always thinking about what college I'm going to go to, how I will pay for it, what kind of car I want when I turn 16, what my first job will be. But at the same time, I know how to live in the moment. I am basically a living contradiction. I hate cleaning but I love being in a clean environment. You know what I mean? Its just difficult. Especially when you're asked these questions straight out. 

Do let me explain myself here. Today during first period, a man from DeVry University came into our class and was talking to us about the kind of careers we would want in the future, and what sort of college we would want to go to. Now I already know what I want. I want to go to a college with a good English program so I can become a writer when I grow up. Well anyways, this guy came in and we had to take personality tests. A few of the questions on there were like "Are you the kind of person who lives for the future?" or "Are you the kind of person that lives in the moment?" and to tell you the truth, as I said above, I definitely live in the moment as well! So I had no idea what to put. So I just put that I more the kind of person to live in the moment... and its true! But I dunno, I hate being a walking oxi-moron... Oh well... isn't life full of contradictions? Life is hard and I know that you have to be able to work now, play later, live spontaneously and for the future. You just have to be able to mix responsibility and fun in your life to live it to the fullest. So that's what I learned today really. Not from the guy, but from thinking about all of it. 

In case you were wondering, we did get the results from our personality test and the kind of career would fit us best. Ironically enough I got adventurer! I couldn't believe it. An adventurer? That would be the last thing I would describe myself as. The thing is though everything it described and said were very accurate, except the title. I dunno, it was weird. The results for my job said that I should do something where I can let my creative juices flow, not be held down or back, not be bossed around (because I like to do my own thing) be spontaneous and something I can use my logical and problem solving skills. That is all absolutely right! When I told my mom about this mini assembly in the classroom she said that pretty much described exactly what I wanted to be a free lance writer. So Hopefully that may come true! Because boy do I want it to be. I want to write a novel!

I thought I would leave you with the above picture! I figure that if your reading this, you probably have a blog, and you probably like to write a lot too! So I just thought this was true and funny at the same time!

Enjoy life and the love of writing!

Life!

So tonight, as I told you earlier, my family and I went to dinner. We went to a place called Zocolos It was a pretty good restaurant, it has Mexican food. I got an enchilada (because I love them sooo much!) it had tomatillo sauce on it which I wasn't a huge fan of... it was a bit to spicy for me... but all in all the vibe was great and the restaurant was nice. Definitely go check it out! 

I feel like this weekend was really long. It was nice though. I constantly feel like the weekend is going by way to quickly. The Friday night football game was fun, but kind of a disappointment, and my Saturday tennis match went well, and I got up this morning at 8:50 for no reason, but the dinner was good. So I think each day had its ups and downs... interesting and boring parts. 

I thought this quote was suitable for this post. So I put it up! And I think its actually pretty true. If you just take things one step at a time, and day by day, then you get to stop and smell the roses and actually live your life. 

Live it to the fullest!

Shopping!

I finally figured out how to get a picture of my homecoming dress on here! I am super excited to share it with you my non existent readers! The shoes as well!

 

So that's my dress and shoes! I'm really excited for homecoming!

 

The above are the new purse and wallet I got last night upon my shopping trip to TJ Maxx. I love that store! I dint understand why people don't like it. I'll be at school and someone will say "I like your pants, where'd you get them?" And then I would say "Thank you! I got them at TJ Maxx!" and they say "You shop at TJ Maxx?" As if there's anything wrong with it! Its designer brand just cheaper! My goodness!

So tonight my family and I are finally going out to dinner at a fairly nice restaurant so I have an excuse to dress causal dressy. Finally. I have all these nice formal clothes that are to fancy for school and every day wear, but I haven't got anywhere to wear them! So my mom and I made a resolution to actually do something on the weekends that will give us an excuse to dress nicer then every day wear and tear. 

Right now, as I am writing this post, I am listening to a really good song! Its called Weight of the World, I think its a really good song and its got a nice beat. So you should check it out. 

Well that's all I've got for this post. I haven't got anything to do the rest of the day really, so I will probably post again today. 

The End! :)

The Road.

Sometimes I feel like my life is an endless road stretched out before me... and then other times I feel like I've only got a few more years of "freedom" left. Especially now that I've started high school, everything counts. I have to get great grades and failing or retaking a class in not an option. I feel like everything I do now is shaping me and my resume for college. I'm really starting to feel my time running out now. I've got just under a year and a half until I'm 16. My family isn't to well off, and I know that I'm going to have to get a job (who knows what that would be) and start getting funds for my car and help paying for college tuition (I really have to start looking for scholarships.) eeekkk oh my god, i have so much to do! I think I'm going to do pretty well in high school this year though, we got our progress reports yesterday and I had all A's and three A+'s (not to brag or anythingggg.)  So, I'm just going to take my high school career in stride and do the best I can to get good grades and not stress to much!

For some reason this picture makes me feel calm. So maybe I'll look at a picture like this every time I need to calm myself down. Sounds like a good plan! 

Change

 I thought it was time for a change. I decided to get creative today and redo the appearance of my blog. It was getting very boring to me and I just really wanted to spice things up! 

Now, as I'm thinking about change, I realize, that I am a person who likes change (read my horoscope if you don't believe me!) Go Sagittarius! But yes, as I am thinking about it now, I always redo my room or I change up my backpack or I hang out with new people, do my homework in a different spot then normal. I just change. Although I'm not really much for changing my appearance. I want long hair and my hair will be long for as long as I want it to be that way! Plus, I don't like changing the way I do my makeup or the way I dress. Although I do work on my personality a lot. Lately I've been trying to be more confident in myself. My phrase or motto lately has been Own It. To me this basically means whatever you're going to do, be confident in it and don't be ashamed of yourself. 

I am really glad that i finally figured out how to make my posts... interesting? More decorative? I'm not sure what the word is, but I was typing it all up in the wrong tab. I was using the Edit HTML version rather than Compose. It made me feel quite dumb. I have those moments a lot though, so its really nothing new to me. 

At my old school I was always known as the dumb one who couldn't tie her shoes, but now at my new school, I'm... the smart one. Its so weird, astonishing, unbelievable cool to finally be asked for help instead of having to ask for help. So I like it. Its a nice (no pun intended) change. 

So today, I played a tennis match at a high school in town. I was kind of nervous because I was paired up with a girl that I hadn't played with before. I mean we had talked of course but we were never really partners for anything tennis related. I really didn't want to embarrass myself by doing really bad because she was three spots ahead of me on our team ladder. Good news though! I think I actually played really well! Almost all my serves were in (I only had to go for a second serve a few select times) and I was playing at the net pretty well for someone who is terrified and scared to death apprehensive about playing up at the net. My partner of course played really well to, an she loves playing at the net. We played an eight game pro set and the final score was 8-7 after a 12 point tie-breaker for the lead! (and for all  those people who don't know what that means, don't worry, it means we had a really good and even match!) 

Things I'm excited about right now:

1. The New appearance of my blog!

2. I figured out how to add links and pictures.

3. I learned how to enhance the content of my posts.

4. My tennis match

5. Photo Class

6. Eating dinner out tomorrow with my family! (we never get to do that!)

Things I want to do right now:

1. Get my dog to stop barking

2. See the movie Easy A

3. Hang out with my best friends

4. Re-paint my toenails

5. Go shopping! (I always want to do that though...)

6. Blog again soon!

Well that's all I've got for now, I hope you enjoyed it, although I have like zero followers... Oh well! 

The End! :)

Disappointment.

He wasnt there.

I felt my heart drop.

I wondered why he didnt show.

I had a feeling this would happen. I tried to prepare myself for the worse. But i really thought he might come through this time.

I should have known better then to get my hopes up. Even after he promised me.

I now vow that I will be rid of him. I wont fall for him again. I refuse to go through the ups and downs he causes. I am done, and I will move on.

I can't BELIEVE he wasnt there. He freakin PROMISED me. I truly hate it when people break promises. They truly are not worth my while. I refuse to let him do this to me. I will not cry for him again. I will sew my heart back together. Stand tall, and just move on.

Moving on is something I truly have a problem with. Once I like someone I truly get attached. Thats why I really dont want to let myself like this guy in my photography class because he's a junior first off, and second I know that nothing will happen. Besides, I'm ok with just being his friend. Friend. Friend. Friend. We talk during class and he shows me good songs to listen to. This is one of my favorites he showed me. Its called La Mar by The Beautiful Girls.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o48nV2WQtA0


I hope this link works. My links havent been working very well... Well anyways even if you cant follow the link, just youtube it. Its really good. Anyways, I don't want to fall for him. I wont. Im willing myself not to. Dude! I figured it out! You have to be in the compose version!!!!

So even though he wasnt there tonight, and after a while i knew he wouldnt show up, I decided to have a good time anyways. I talked to some old friends that went to a different school, and I made some new friends that go to my own school. Plus today I got a sandwich thrown at me in the hallway... It was a joke from my friend so its cool. He's nice and pretty funny.

So I had three tests today. Math, and two English tests. We're reading Great Expectations, its a boring load of crap and takes forever to explain stuff good and kind of interesting I guess. Its getting better towards the end. We're almost done! I'm not totally sure what book we're reading next. But I hope its better than this one. I dunno, I liked Pip's character, and then I didnt like it, and now I do. I dunno, this book is just extraordinarily confusing.

So ever since i met my new jr friends in photo class (which im loving by the way) I have found more and more good music. I really like this one guy named Matisyahu. This is the song that I like. Its called One Day and I think the message is good.

Well I'm really happy that I finally figured out how to get the link thing working and all that, and I'll do my best to blog again soon. Thats all for now!

The End :)

Preparation

I am preparing myself, tonight, to see him.

He's going to be at the football game.

I cant get the questions out of my head. What will he say? Will things be just they were? Will he even talk to me?

Im nervous, but at the same time i'm so glad i get to see him. I've been waiting for this since the last day of school when I saw him jump the creek, get in the car, and leave me behind watching helplessly. Wishing he would come back to me. To hold me in his arms and make me laugh til I cry. But he didnt. He left me and found someone else. It tore me in half and darkened my summer, though I tried not to accept it. So this is my mental preparation to see him. He says he's excited, but who knows what he's really thinking...

I hope everything goes well tonight.

Wish me luck!

Homecoming!

Heyy ok so I wanted to blog and im just gunna say that i had a GREAT day today!!! I felt sooo accomplished! I got my dress for homecoming!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my god i am so excited for homecoming now!!! I dont have a date... yet... im hoping... that maybe.... this guy... in my photo class... but i dunno... he's a junior... so i dont think so.... but maybeeeeee... i hope... well anyways even if he doesnt ask me im ok with that and going by myself is fine with me too! Im just really excited for homecoming! Especially now that I have my dress!!! Its sooo pretty i feel like a princess in it! Its like white with sparkles on it and im wearing it with gold shoes, oh my god its amazing!!! So ya, that was my big major accomplishment today! It was super awesome!!!

So today I also had a carwash to raise money for my tennis team. We made a bunch of money so it was good, i think we made like over 300 bucks today and 100 bucks last night plus we are going to have another carwash in october and one of our coaches is having a jewelry party so we will get more money. I think we need around 1200 dollars... I hope we get there!! Its for our team sweatshirts. I hope they are totally awesome so I hope we raise a lot of moneyyy!!

So I had a really good week this week! Monday was good cuz it was just pretty relax and chill. Well actually im just gunna come clean... My week this week in photography was AMAZING so thats what made my week so good. Cuz of two someones in that class one of whom i want to ask me to homecominggg... but i dont think he will but anyways thats not the point... so they are just really funny and fun to hang out with! anyways monday was fun cuz we just chilled in the darkroom and talked and laughed and it was funnn... tuesday was so FUN because right before third there was an assembly and it was absolutely HILARIOUS! The guy was a motivational speaker and he was sooo funny!!!!! Plus everything he said was so frickin true that it made everything twice as funny! So anyways then after the assembly I walk to photo and everyone was sitting in different seats and i was like whoa what the..? and so i looked for my name and i ended up sitting at the same table as BOTH of them haha so it was pretty cool... and ya the rest of the week was cool too! So yaa... thats that.

I really wish i had something deep to say... but i dont... or even some poetry to share. but again, i dont. It sucks cuz school and tennis are kinda taking over my life right now, so there isnt really a whole lot of time to blog everyday and write poetry and have a lot of time to be deep, sentimental, or theoretical.

Ugh. Its almost october... that means its almost halloween... my least favorite holiday out there... I mean its fun i guess to dress up, but i hate the scaryness and the scary commercials on tv and stuff... AND it doesnt help that i get scared extremely easily... oh well. I dont even have to dress up this year because my mom is taking me to missouri to see my grandparents. So i wont be trick or treating and getting cany this year. Plus ill have to miss school, and i HATE missing school because i feel so out of it when i come back, and i hate feeling "out of it" it sucks so much! I feel like i miss so much! Especially when i like someone cuz i mean its like so many chances to talk! and i wasnt even at school. danggg. oh well.

So i dont really have much to say so i guess thats the end!

The End!:)

Its been forever!

Wow! I am so sorry that it has been so long! School started and ive just been really busy and very tired! I swear, ever since i made varsity for tennis i feel like it has taken over my life!!! Im so tired all the time and even though i dont ever have very much homework everytime i sit down i feel like just sitting there or watching tv. I havent been inspired very much lately and i mus admit the first 2 weeks of High School were pretty hard. I wasnt so sure that I was going to make it through the entire school year! But things have gotten MUCH better now that i know i wont be a social zero. So thats good. Im doing my best to work my way up the social ladder in the nicest way possible mind you (im not into the whole using people to get what you want kind of thing..) I know a few people and have a few friends that are pretty far up there, and i think that i will be able to make a name for myself. Thats really all i want, i want people to know me, I want a name for myself i want to know who i am. Well anyways ive got a plan to get up there and i plan on following through with it. Hopefully this year will be a good year. My favorite class is still photographyyyy! I have made two new jr friends :) theyre like best friends and when they are together, they are HILARIOUS! I mean HILARIOUS! you should see them its so funny especially cuz they are guys and they are absolute best friends! They do everything together. But ya, theyre hilarious and are my friends, in photo class at least. One of them is pretty cute (wink wink).

I really wish i had something deep to talk about but my inspiration just feels dead. Every time i pick up a pen and try to write something i just cant. I dont know why, and i wish it would come, but it just isnt. crap. this sucks. I feel kind of dead actually. I havent been writing anything and its what i love to do. Well i mean, i did write a story for my english paper. It was about the heroes journey. I wish i could share it with you, but that would be one frickin long post! Its like 4 pages long, but then again, thats double spaced. But its still a bit to long to share here. I did start a story, but it didnt really go anywhere because there isnt any reason I started it. Its like not even 2 pages long. Thats why i like poetry, it can be short and sweet or even long, plus they are easy to share. But stories just make me feel so much better about myself. You know, the whole beginning, middle, and end. I just haven't exactly been able to finish one. Ugh. I was thinking that i might want to work at some sort of magazine when im older. i dunno, it just sounds fun especially if its a fashion magazine, or even just a regular magazine thats popular. So ya. That might be pretty cool!

So lately my family and I have been thinking a TON about college. Plus i've just been feeling like my childhood has been slipping away from me. I was in the car the other day driving somewhere with my dad and I was looking at all the cars and expecting what theyre going to do and being alert and looking at all the stuff and then I saw a starbucks and i was like thinking "that could be a potential job for me or hhmm maybe i could work there... its only in a year and a half..." and then i was like "Holy crap, ive only got another year and a half of freedom! Of not having to report to someone or work for the public. My childhood is slipping away from me as we speak!" and so i just got to thinking... wow i really need to enjoy this year i need to make it special, i need to make it count. Before all my responsibilities come into play.

Alright well im really sorry i havent got anything to terribly interesting to add to this, but i promise i will try to get something interesting up as soon as possible, i just wanted to update on what was currently going on in my life and that i am still alive! Tired, but alive!

The End! :)

Three in 1!

Hey!! Man, I feel like its been a really long time since Ive blogged! Well, school started last monday so ive been pretty busy. I'll probably be able to blog only on the weekends because of homework, or maybe i'll at least be able to write a short post. So much has happened!!

So I started high school mondayyy, I have to be honest, it wasnt as great as I thought it was going to be. There were so many surprises!! Especially in first period. There happens to be these two guys that I have... certain history with. I really wanted to ignore one, but I was pretty excited to see the other one... well kind of. I was mostly just nervous. Well anyways, I walk into first period on the first day of school having no idea what the heck to expect. The first person i see is one of my friends from Middle School, I break into a huge relieved smile that I knew at least one person in my class. I sat next to her and we talked, but upon looking around the room I spotted BOTH guys in my first period class! BOTH OF THEM! I mean I knew that I was going to see them at one point, but I didnt think that they were both going to be in my first period surprise. It was definitely not what I was expecting.

So the week went well, it started out a bit shaky, but I have a feeling that its going to get better as time goes on. Im in a photography class, and it seems like its going to be REALLY fun! That is if I can find a camera. You'd think it wouldnt be hard seeing as how my father was a professional photographer, but its proving more difficult then it would seem. But once i find one, it'll be great!

So do you remember back at the beginning of my summer when i told you about my certain someone who was providing me with tons of inspiration. Well they are back. Well they were. This person just aggravates me beyond belief! Its like he cant make up his freakin mind! He just keeps leaving and coming back. And i know hes feeding me with lies, but i just feel to pathetic to tell him... I enjoy his company to much. He just aggravates me! I dont know what to do. i know that i should forget about him, and I really want to, but he just does not want to either stay or leave! I know he likes another girl, and im okay with that, i really just dont want him to continue leading me on the way he does. It just makes me feel like crap. And i know i'm doing it to myself which i think makes me the most angry of all!! UGH!! I hate this and sometimes I hate him. But then right when i say that i want to take it back. I dunno, it just feels irrational to hate someone for something they cant help. So I just sorted my feelings out in a poem, and here it is. Well actually I wrote two that im going to share. The first one was before he texted me, and then the second one was after. Both are untitled, so comment if youve got ideas!

1.
I need more than this
I need more than you
I know I deserve better
but i just cant let go of what might have been
I'm constantly living in the past
wishing you were my future
I know I should cherish the present
for every day is a gift
but i need fulfillment,
and the only way that can be achieved
is from you

2.
You're here
and just like that your gone again
why are you so unpredictable?
why cant you ever stay?
If you love her, thats ok
just dont keep coming back to me.
I dont know how much of this I can take.
I dont know when I'll burst.
But your disloyalty to the both of us hurts me.
I feel like I'm the other girl
the one who's just for fun
but i dont want to be the other girl
I want to be the only girl.

So these two poems basically summarize what im feeling and the kind of feelings he evokes from me.

Lets see.... i also wrote a poem about the way I was feeling before the first day of school, Ill share that with you too. here it is!

My nerves are running high
my heart is beating hard in my chest
waiting in anticipation
for that bell to ring in the crisp early morning
to hear the rush of footsteps
and the sounds coming from everywhere
waiting for that first day
excitement and happiness
but nerves and anxiety
what will be the end results?

Well there is is. As you can see and probably tell, my writing is very amateur, but its something I love to do and I feel like its my escape from the real world and all the hardships i have to deal with in it. Besides, I'm only a freshmen, I've got the rest of my life to learn more :)

I'm not really sure that i've got any more to offer for this post. I will try to blog again soon!! Wish me luck on week 2 of High School!! :D

The End! :)

Words. My words specifically.

Hey!

Ok,so today was UH-MAZING! I had my freshmen orientation, and it went really well! I LOVE my schedule and this year is gunna be hecka easy and fun! I've got computers/health/drivers ed, spanish 3, beginning photography (super excited for this), transitions to algebra 2, Honors English, and then PE last period! That make me especially happy cuz then I dont have to worry about the way I look afterward. PLUS! My ID picture actually turned out REALLY well! It makes me so excited!!! I can tell that High School is going to be AWESOME!!! The first day of school is on mondayyy! Superrrr excited!!!

I've got another poem that I want to share with you. Its about words. I think words are insanely powerful and they can do soooo much! So I think that having a blog means that your words are heard. well at least seen. Words can make someone feel on top of the world, but words can also tear people down. I wouldnt want to use my words for that, I want my words to be world renown. So I wil share this poem with you, I wrote it just the other day. It doesnt have a title... Suggestions? Please comment!

Unworn Spine
Crisp Pages
the smell of untouched paper
the first word
the first sentence
the first paragraph
all shaping themselves into a story
bending and colliding to make something magical
to make it come alive

the words effortlessly roll of your tongue
they pour out of your mouth
spiraling into the world
reaching out to those around you
allowing themselves to be heard
to be listened to

Words are powerful
they can make beautiful things
they can change the people around you
they can start a war
they can start an evolution

Words can change the world.

So I truly believe what I've written. I really do think that they can change the world if used correctly. I hope that this post gives you something to think about! And I hope you enjoyed my poem!

The End! :)

Update

Hey!

So today I went to tennis and we were there EARLY! YES! I was so glad that we didnt have to run two extra laps! But anyways... Today we walked one lap, and then ran three consecutive ones totally a mile. After that we then had to jump rope for minutes at a time and then after that we had to run in the bleachers. It sucked. I hate conditioning. I am so out of shape but at least ill be in better shape because of this! So thats good. Then of course there was the tennis part to it and that was just, well you know, tennis. There isnt really anything else to say on that. But ya and tomorrow we dont have to condition! Just tennis practice! So that makes me happyyyy!

So I hoped you enjoyed the poem i posted yesterday. I dont know the next time that I'll do it because I havent exactly been feeling inspired lately... I need something to happen... so ya. But i will try to do that again. Because I like doing that.

In other news... I have added a quotes section off to the left! These are just different quotes that I like and either inspire me or make me feel good so i thought I'd share them with you. I will be adding to them as i find more that I like. So ya.

Tonight I'm going to my friend Emily's house! Im super excited because I havent seen her at all this summer! So itll be great to see her before school starts because she is going to a different high school then me...

Speaking of high school ive got orientation this tuesday! I am excited! High School is just that much closer! Everyone says that freshman year is really easy so thats good, plus im coming from a middle school that had the International Baccalaureate program and im sure itll be the same if not a bit easier than that if everyone thinks it so easy. So ya. Plus ive already done all my shopping! I love shopping! My favorite stores (right now at least) are Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, H&M, Wet Seal (not as much though) Delia's (only for the jeans) and thats like it... Oh and I also like Macy's, just cuz its a really good store and you'll always find something there no matter what. I especially love dress shoppping there! Earlier this year we had a dance for school and i went to so many shops and i finally found the perfect pair of shoes and dress for the dance there! Man i felt so accomplished and happy! Love that store! I seriously recommend it.

So this summer has been oddly cool. Usually its in the hundreds everyday during the summer, but this summer has been 80's and 90's which is REALLY nice especially for me coming from the bay area and everything. I havent even been using my pool as much this summer! My dad keeps asking me why I havent gone swimming very much this summer. Well dad, thats the reason!

Well I hope you enjoyed this little update about my pool, favorite stores, and amateur tennis career! ;) I'll blog again soon!

The End! :)

Something New and Special

Hello!

So the first thing i want to say is that I GOT A NEW PHONE! I really needed a new one because my old phone was getting really old and faulty... which i must say annoyed me very much. I also switched from the T-Mobile network/plan/whateveryouwannacallit to the verizon wireless network/plan/whateveryouwannacallit. I like it a lot better because so far I have gotten better coverage with verizon. PLUS i get the internet on my new phone which is so cool because then i can go on the internet whenever i want to! (hello FACEBOOK!) Well anyways it is quite awesome and i am enjoying my new phone thoroughly!

So today i went to a volunteer orientation at the Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services because i am going to be a volunteer there. Its for my community service hours, but i think it looks really fun and cool. Although i will only be serving food and its not on site, i think the services they do have ON site look really good and seem VERY helpful. I think it would be a good thing to do! So ya... the orientation was just basically getting to know the place and the services they offer, we didnt do any volunteer work today though. Maybe sometime soon. So ya, thats what i did today.

So you know how in the previous post i said i was doing tennis tryouts this week for my high school, Bella Vista? Well I am, and i am SOOOOO SORE! We have to do not only tennis tryout types of things, but conditioning as well! I am so out of shape and the coach makes us run at LEAST a mile every practice so it is kind of a wake up call as to just how OUT of shape i am! Plus today we got there at 8:30 am (because thats what time the practice starts) and we were walking up and the coach calls to us while looking at her watch, "Its 8:30, You're late! Go run two laps!"
My friend and i just look at each other and so we continue walking up to where the coach is and then she calls, "Come on girls! Put your stuff down and go run two laps! Hurry!!"
so we ran the rest of the way, threw our stuff down and ran onto the track. After we had ran our two laps we come back and she gives us this big long speech about how we shouldnt be late and shes always there at practice on time so we should be too. Luckily we werent that only ones that were "late". But it was still like wha????... Well anyways... moving on...

So I think that i am going to add a quotes section and put quotes that make me feel good and inspire me cuz i just think it might be a fun thing to share. Plus you can kind of see the kind of person i am? I guess in the kind of quotes i like.

So ive never done this before... and im kind of nervous about it but whatever. So I like to write as you obviously know, or i wouldnt have this blog. And so i am going to share an original writte by of course, yours truly! dont be to judgmental... as i was talking about in an earlier post (I believe it was "Ive been inspired by uninspiring things...") well anyways what i was feeling inspired this poem that i wrote and am going to share with you. Its been a while and this poem is fairly recent so when i wrote this most of my feelings had dulled and what not so this is more general then some of the other ones i wrote were. Much more general. Well I hope you enjoy it. Eeekk im nervous... Oh and it hasnt got a title. So ya... suggestions? Leave comments! Ok, so here it goes...

Happiness is always short lived
It comes and goes in a matter of seconds
All you can do is enjoy it while it lasts
And try not to fall to hard when its gone
Happiness is a part of life
And life goes on
No matter how down you are
time can heal almost anything.

So ya, there it is. This is basically what i learned this summer. You should live in the moment. Revel in the happiness or whatever your feeling in that moment. I also learned that life goes on and you have to move on. Time can heal you. I promise. If time can heal me, it can heal you.

Well I hope you enjoyed this blog post, it was kind of something new and special. i dont know how often ill share my originals, but ill probably do it again. Once i can write a good poem to put up. So ya!

The End! :)

My boring life.

Wow. I seriously wish i had more interesting things to talk about... but my life is kind of boring. I like never do anything during the summer. Except my camp and my family vacation, which did NOT go the way i planned. I really wanted to go to the state fair, but it closed before i got there... but ohhh welll...

So im doing this summer tennis camp at my gym, Rollingwood. It supposedly is going to help me get onto the team at Bella Vista, my high school. Well anyways, today I was going in for a volley (a hit close to the net where the ball does not bounce) and there was a ball on the ground... in conclusion i ended up falling into a jazz split and i got my knee all scraped up. It sucked. but yaaa at least i didnt twist/break/sprain something. So thats good. :) Usually im not a klutz but for some reason that ball just wanted to trip me. My coach was all "wow balls are just bouncin at your feet." I was just like great... but at least that was the only time i tripped. Today we worked on lobs and chasing the ball down... as well as playing at the net. I really dont like playing at the net. I am strictly a base line player.

Ugh. I really wish my life was a lot more interesting... I did absolutely nothing today. It kinda sucks. Oh wait, i played tennis. der. well anyways i really didnt have a point with this post. but i was bored so I wanted to write something. So ya. Im done now... hopefully ill have something more interesting to post soon. Oh! I'm going to a campfire thursday night and im really excited because i get to see all my friends from school before summer ends!! So ya. Ok im actually finished with this post now :)

Oh but i havent really gotten any other interesting facts. So I either need to find more or something else to do. So ya...

The End! :)

P.S. Im really sorry, but i havent been able to figure out how to add multiple pictures, and i havent been able to put them where i want them... :/

My Summer So far and what I plan to do with the rest of it...

Image by TheNickster via Flickr

So, I had originally written an entire Camp Jones Gulch detailed post about everything that went down. But perhaps it was a little bit too detailed. So i decided to trash it and start fresh! I'm definitely not going to write as much detail as i did. Ill just write the highlights. Monday we went and did this ropes course. I had to jump off a diving board that was hooked into a tree 60 feet up in the air. I know it doesnt sound that high, but trust me, once your up there it seems pretty high... Tuesday we had to sleep outside in a place called Indian Bowl where they had the horses. So there was horse poop everywhere (thank god it wasnt fresh...) but ya, that wasnt a good highlight, but it was the biggest event that happened tuesday. Wednesday there was a dance. Did i have a date? Yes i did. Thursday, nothing to exciting happened we just hung out. OH we had an honor campfire that night where every cabin makes something special and does it in front of the whole camp. My cabin wrote 4 different haikus and read them aloud. Friday was pick up day! So everyone got to go home after saying goodbye to there beloved camp friends of course! There were foreign people there. Most of them were from spain. Only one that i know of was from Italy. I befriended one Spaniard and i just admired the rest pretty much. My Spanish was to crude to actually go up and try to have a conversation... so i just avoided that awkward situation from the beginning. Well those are my camp highlights. I, of course, thoroughly enjoyed myself and am going to go back next year as an LIT (leader in training). I am super excited and it really is something to have friends at camp and friends at home. Well thats really all ive got to say on the subject of camp. So yaaa...

I guess this is as good a time as any to be deep, as Napoleon Hill once said, "Don't wait. The time will never be just right." SO ANYWAYS... I dunno. I sometimes like to do my own thing. But sometimes I like going with the flow and doing what other people do. This summer though, I've been focusing on finding... identity I guess you could say. What makes me, well, me. What makes me different from everyone around me. I've also been focusing on how I want to be perceived by other people. If I even care what they think. If I'm going to let other people opinions stand in my way or if i'm just going to barge right though them and continue on with what i'm doing. With what makes me happy or feel good about myself. (I know what i'd like to think and do and say. But will I? Everything is always so different when your in the face of the actual situation.) I guess what i'm trying to say is that I want to be more individual. Less cookie cutter. Because basically the epitome of Middle School life is what everyone else is doing and fitting in. Now that i'm going into high school, I want to start with my image fresh, me, and self confident. I mean I know I'll make mistakes along the way, and it'll take me more than this summer to figure out who i am and all this, but its a start. I found a quote the other day about confidence so here it is: "Confidence comes not from always being right, but not fearing to be wrong." So I guess that helped me as much as a 13 worded sentence can. By the way, the author is unknown. So anyways, I just want to find things for myself. I'm an artistic person so I want my environment to reflect that, I want to reflect that. Well anyways I guess i'm done with that sort of deepness for now.

So I decided to use the Zemanta gadget for all my posts. At first i didnt really like it, but now i'm getting used to it. But I still feel like I could've done without it. Well OH WELL! I also haven't figured out how to add a second image to this thing... It always puts it up at the top... and I dunno the whole Zemanta thing is kind of annoying me right now... Plus im not totally sure if you can put in videos???

So I read this book called If I Stay by Gayle Forman. It was a really good book and I really liked how the entire family was so musically inclined. So I decided to look up some of the music that was mentioned. (The author had a glossary type section in the back detailing all the music she had mentioned in the book.) So anyways as i said, i went on itunes to listen to some. Well I found this really cool Icelandic band! They're called Sigur Ros. They are an alternative group and they started in 1994. Although they've decided to take an indefinite hiatus... I still like them. Their songs are in the language of Iceland... not sure what that is, but i'll look it up on good ol' Google. Ok, so. Its a North Germanic language, and its closest relative is Faroese(?). Well anyways, you should check them out because they are good! You should also read the book because it was good too. It made me tear up and almost cry. It was that good. So ya, I hope you check them out!

Wel I think thats all I've got for this post. So I'll leave you with my interesting facts. Well, I'm running out... so i've only got eight left... So i need to find something else to do to end this... well here it goes!

1. The color blue has a calming effect causing the brain to release calming hormones.
2. Everytime you sneeze some of your brain cells die.
3. When you blush, the lining of your stomach turns red too.
4. The lion that roars the MGM logo is named Volney.
5. There are 1,792 steps to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
6. Most soccer palyers run 7 miles in a game.
7. Colgate faced big obstacles marketing toothpaste in spanish speaking countries. Colgate translates to the command "go hang yourself."
8. Humans forget 90% of they're dreams.

Well thats it!

The End! :)

Hungry for more summer! :)

Hey! Ok so I am finally home, well actually i have been since saturday, but im just now getting around to blogging. Its always been to late for me to start a post by the time i have time ive got time or even feel like posting. Sorry. So ya. We successfully got to and from florida with ZERO glitches on flying :) which was good :) so go Southwest!! But ya, the sunshine state was NOT as sunshiney as i thought it was gunna be. But thats ok. So i didnt really get my tan... But it was a fun trip :)



So today i had my first tennis match. I played doubles. I felt really bad for my parter because i did really bad. But he was nice about it. So that made me feel a little better at totally sucking. The final score was 7-2. We lost. But oh welll...

My happiness was short lived alst week when i thought i finally figured out how to add a link to this blog... but then i didnt do it right... and im still not sure how the hek to do it. So yaaa... sorry about that. I really wish i could figure it out. But its not working... SAD FACE!



I'm trying to make this more interactive and fun looking to an outsider haha by putting pictures on it... I hope it works... the pictures are kind of random... oh well...

So I FINALLY found a good book. Well DID. Cuz i already read TWO of them. in two days. See thats the problem. When i get a good book i just cant stop reading it and then i finish it really fast and then have nothing else to read... which sucks. But ya they're a series. Its called The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is the first one, the second is called Catching Fire. I definitely recommend reading them :)





They're going to make a movie out of it! Which makes me really excited :):) Lionsgate bought the rights to it. The author Suzanne Collins is going to right the screen play for it. That must be good cuz then maybe they wont leave so much out. I know who i want my characters to be :)

Katniss: Either Alexandra Daddario or Elizabeth Gillies
Peeta: Alex Pettyfer or Ed Speelers
Gale: Drew Roy
Glimmer: Emma Degerstedt
Cato: Tom Felton
Rue: Alana Locke or Jodelle Ferland
Fox Face: Emma Stone
Mrs. Everdeen: I have no clue
Madge: AnnaSophia Robb
Haymitch: Hugh Lorie
Cinna: Hugh Dancy
Portia: Amanda Crew
Ceasar: Johnny Depp maybe?
Thresh: Jared Padalecki
Avoz Girl: Molly Quinn
Effie: Jayma Mays

Now im not saying this IS the cast or WILL be the cast haha but i think these people are fitting for the roles :) I REALLY REALLY hope that its a good movie. And I hope that they will make it for all three movie instead of just one. AND that i dont have to wait FOREVER for them. Haha but ya. Those are the two good books that ive read recently.

So next week I go to SUMMER CAMP at Camp Jones Gulch :) I hope that its fun!! Like last year. So im pretty sure it will be. And i hope that at least SOME of my friends will be there. But im pretty sure they will be because ive talked to a few of them. Ugh. I havent even unpacked from Florida and now i have to unpack and repack for Camp... which really sucks. I leave sunday. Crap... Oh well! haha itll be cool :)

So i am kind of bored with the way my blog looks like, but im not sure how to make it so its not all column-ee and so that it goes the whole page instead of just some of it... but im still tryin to fix that :) haha so yaaa.... and i dont really like the name anymore, its kind of boring and not very attention grabbie cuz i know the way i choose to look at blogs is by the title. Same way i choose which books to read :) I know, im sooo discriminatory against books....

This week has kind of been boring since thursday cuz my two BEST FRIENDS went to CASTA RICA!! I wanted to go... but my parents just didnt have it in them... Mula... :/ oh wellll maybe some other time? i think yes :) There are only 37 days of summer left!!! Agh :( that makes me sad :( but i am SUPER excited for High School. GO BELLA VISTA! Broncos rock and red and black are like my favorite colors :):) (which are Bella Vista colors) So for high school my mom wants me to do this thing called Fair Oaks Youth Advisory Board. FOYAB for short. Its like where teens get to help the community and put on fundraisers and stuff like that to help the community. I'm doing it with my friend hannah. I really hope its fun. But i dunno... Im filling out the application now even though its not due til SEPTEMBER! My mom is making me start now. But i guess its a good idea that way i dont have to think about it once school has started cuz ill probably have other homework and projects to focus on. Besides not getting lost on my way to my next class... thats probably the worse thing! haha hopefully that wont happen... Although knowing me, i probably will get lost. Well actually there's an orientation a week before school and they give us time to walk around campus to find all our classes. So i will most definitely be doing that. I hope the teachers are nice :) and not lazy mean or annoying like some of them were at Churchill.... (names shall not be mentioned here) haha.

I dont think ive got anything else to add to this blog... so i guess ill end it with my interesting facts :)

1. The Electric Chair was invented by a dentist
2. All Polar Bears are left handed
3. A crocodile cant stick out its tongue
4. Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying
5. The Titanic was the first ship to use the S.O.S signal
6. The pupil of the eye expands as much as 45% when looking at something pleasing
7. Laughing lowers levels of stress hormones and strengthens the immune system. 6 year olds laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15-100 times a day
8. Dalmations are born without spots
9. Bats always fly left when exiting a cave. (I am SOOOO going to the right then!)
10. The reason honey is easy to digest is because its already been digested by a bee

Well there ya go! Finally got my fun facts back up so i hope you enjoyed that! Next ten coming in the next blog! As always......

The End! :)

Happiness!

GUESS WHAT! haha i think i finally figured out how to add a link and have it actually show up! To bad i dont have anyhting to share with a link... hhmmm well maybe i can find something.... So i guess Crystal Boewrsocks got a cosmetic make over kind of thing? hhmmm well check it out (oh god i hope this works haah)

Well anyways i really hope that works because the ones i actually found interesting in the past NEVER worked... hhmmm maybe i can go back and fix them.. yess... i think i will.... :)

So today was my last day in Florida :) we are coming home tomorrowwww :D Dont get me wrong, Florida is cool and all but I AM SO READY TO GO BACK TO CALIFORNIA!!! I am so done with all the humidity haha but yaaa it was a good time though :) went on an airboat ride, drove a road full of alligators, went shopping at the mall, did a segway tour (they retail for like 600 thousand bucks!! its ridiculous man! haha)
went on a boat called the Double Decker Sunshine or something like that and saw dolphins, then went to 5th avenue in downtown Naples to shop with my mom! :) so yaa the past few days have actually been filled with SOMETHING instead of me sittin gin the condo on my lazy butt writing this blog haha JKJKJKJK but ya.

So I saw Eclipse last night. It was BY FAR the best twilight movie so far. The acting and CGI continues to get better with each movie. I think the acting is also getting better and there seems to be more dialogue... the one thing i really did NOT like i show they changed Victoria. I mean everyone was already so used to Rachelle LeFerve but they put in Bryce Dallas Howard. I mean dont get me wrong, by all means she did a wonderful job, but i still would have liked to have seen Rachelle in it. But OH WELL... So i went to the theatre with my parents to watch this movie. And lets just say... it was quite embarrassing... :S So this all happened once the lights went down and after the pre previews had been on. ok so... FIRST my mother proceeds to drop he glasses down into the crevice between the seat in front of her and the little raised platform to make our row taller than the one in front of us. So after my dad brings in a person with a flashlight to get the glasses and once everyone is settled back down again my mom pulls out the bag.... of potato chips.... she had in her purse... :/ They weren't open so then my FATHER proceeded to OPEN the bag of POTATO CHIPS in the MIDDLE of the QUIET theatre. !!!! Lets just say the people in front of us moved after that. I took the bag of chips and put them off to the side where neither parent could reach them haha. it was PRETTY embarrassing. Lets just say im not letting THEM bring chips EVER again! :/ haha

Well those are the only interesting things i really have to say for now :) once i get home and start blogging the 10 interesting facts WILL be here! i hope... haha no ya they will. But ya thats all for now! I bid you adieu simply with:

The End! :)

I've been inspired by uninspiring things...

So lately I've been on this... inspiration kick i guess you could call it. My pen is just totally connecting with the paper these days (yes im old fashioned i still write things on paper... wow! :O haha) So anyways my inspiration started out all fine and dandy but then it decided it wanted to get... difficult. I dunno. Anger is just such an emotion that i never thought could have instigated such things from my mind. haha DONT WORRY! nothing inappropriate haha. but i dunno maybe its not anger im feeling. mostly confusion. Wow i need to get my emotions straight here haha i sound pathetic dont I? But yaa... i dunno its just weird how the same thing can make you feel so good and so happy and then in the blink of an eye your down in the dumps and are just thinking what the heck just happened? haha

Weellllll moving onnnnn... sorry i havent been blogging so much. Ive been on my trip in Floridaaa! :D haha last weekend was the fourth of july and my family and i spent it in Miami. It was a lot of fun. Except for the fact that my mom is convinced that i can speak perfect spanish. :/ So she told all the hotel cleaning ladies i speak spanish. So they would start talking really fast in spanish to me and i could only catch a few words here and there. Mostly i just nodded and smiled and continued walking. Plus my mom just could NOT get it straight!! Hija!!! not hermosa hermana or hermano! HIJA!!! hahaha or MIJA! one of the two would have been fine. but noooo she was stuck on hermosa. Please... thats a type of drink! hahaha oh wellll... We went to the beach as well. Must say, its not as cool as i thought it would be. South beach was hecka crowded so we went to north beach and yaaa... right now im in Naples Florida haha so yaa today we went on an airboat tour and saw a bunch of alligators... it was funn :)

Im really not sure what else to write about other then the fact that i watched Vienna and Jake on the bachelorette the other night. I must say as much as im not a big fan of vienna i think that im on her side in this... (this is history here people haha jk )

Alsoooo Eclipse has been out for a week now and i still have not seen it. I hope its good. Who knows though. Ive read mixed reviews. And ive heard mixed reviews from my frienddddsss...

Well i havent got much to blog about. My vacation hasnt been all that it seemed to be before i left... so im sorry that was a fall through. And i know i havent been doing the 10 facts thingy but i swear. Once i get home ill start doing it again. I gotta do things quickly here haha plus i left the paper at home and if i looked it up on the internet it would be to much work to figure out the ones i already said... so ya... i know, im lazyy haha sorryyy well im gunna keep trying to do well with this! haha ok well i STILL havent found anything good to end this with other than.....

The End! :)

My Inspiration :)

So ive been thinking. Inspiration. Its kind of strange how the smallest things can inspire someone. It can be the way a leave falls just right from a tree, or even a color. It can be a change in ones life, or a person :) Its crazy how the urge to write something down or in this case ill just call it inspiration haha i dunno if that makes sense or not... but anywaysss "inspiration" can only last for a few moments, and if you dont write it all down on the page in that fleeting moment, who knows what you missed. The outline to the next greatest novel? The worlds most beautiful poem? The next wonderful song? Who knows what it could have been if you had chose to ignore it. Thats why i NEVER choose to ignore it when my inspiration is calling. Plus I've done a lot of thinking [and texting ;)] lately and i realized that its crazy how inspired you can get from one person, place, or thing. Well in my case i guess its a person.... :) So i guess im done with that deepness for the dayy..

Im in FLORIDA! It is absolutely amazing here! I went to the Siesta Keys beach and the sand is SOOO SOFT!!! Welllll my dad and i have been exploring the town a lot and it is funn :) Plus we met my mom for lunch yesterday :) we got to meet all the people in her office including the president of the company and then the vice prez of the company, it was pretty cool :) plus people from puerto rico were at my moms office. It was so cool because they were speaking spanish and i could understand what they were saying :) they were talking bout the world cup, it was cool :) well thats all for now byyyeee!!

The End :)

P.S I promise ill actually post sometime soon with interesting facts and everything, im on vacation, what can i say? Sorry!! Oh well... not like many ppl read this anywaysss

The END! :)

The Bachelor and The Bachelorette :)

OH MY GOODNESS!! Today is most definitely a happy day! I just read on yahoo that Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi BROKE UP! Yes oh my goodness, I hated her sooo much and i thought it was sooo stupid of Jake to chose HER! I really wanted Tenley to win A LOT! But noooo of course he didnt chose Tenley. Id even have been fine if he chose Aly, but no he had to go and chose Vienna. Well i guess this shows that Karma really does exist :) No hard feelings to all you Vienna lovers out there... But i am happy, and i think Jake will be happier too :) Well i just wanted to say that. Because the last season of The Bachelor sure was a frustrating season. It made me not want to watch this season with Aly. I dont think ive seen one whole episode of The Bachelorette this season. Last time was a little to much for me... haha So i guess there are only 2 couples left that are from the show, Jason and Molly, and Jillian and Ed. Which is quite interesting becasue they are back to back seasons. I remember that in Jasons season Melissa and Jillian were my favorite, and Molly was a little on the outs for me... but when Jillian got sent home I wanted him to choose Melissa and when he did i was extremely happy, but then all this drama went on and he decided to choose Molly instead... I mean I guess there wasnt anything wrong with Molly, she just wasnt my favorite. On Jillians season i really wanted her to chose Kipton, they just seemed like such a good couple and everything was there for them, but Ed's cool too i guess :) OH MY GOODNESS! I watched the video of Aly leaving Kasey on the glacier! haha i must say WAY TO GO ALY! he was definitely a weird person... i mean getting a tatoo? cuz that would soooo win over a girls heart! NOT! Well heres the video
http://primetime.tv.yahoo.com/
None of the video links ive been putting up have been working, but maybe this one will.... Ive yet to figure it out. I even click the insert link thing too! I dunno whats wrong.... some help maybe?

Well i just wanted to post that, fun facts later :)

The End!

Thoughts that bounce off the walls of my inner membrane :)

Hey! Ok so i decided i should start all my packing and stuff like that now... even though ive got about 5 days left until we leave. I think its just better for me because i always forget stuff... plus im deciding what to take. My rockin wedges? I think yes! My smokin red summer dress? I think yes! And an awesome 2 piece? I think DEFINITELY! Man, im getting so psyched about this trip to Florida! Its gunna be totally awesome. But I STILL need a good book to read on the airplane there. Good news, ill have my computer with me that way i wont be so out of touch with civilization! (Yes yes yes, thats my dramatic teen side talking) I probably wont get to blog during my florida time but i promise i will try :) Also! Some more good news, well for me at least, haha we dont have to switch flights! We just stay on the same flight while other people get off, but we do have to stop in Denver though... Not a good history there... (more on that in a second.) A third piece of good news i have is that my dad and i will NOT be flying on united, but on Southwest! So thats good. I always hate having to go through security at airports, its such a HASSLE! I mean i know they have to be careful of thieves and suicide bombers and bombs etc. but it always makes me feel like im gunna get caught for the most inconsequential thing even though im a pure person and have got nothing to hide :D So anyways i guess i should explain why i dont wanna have to stop in Denver, but i guess itll be ok this time cuz its summer and not winter... Well anyways one time my family and I were flying to Tennessee. It was winter i think and so it was snowing in denver, of course... :/ So we got stuck. No planes were flying in and no planes were flying out. So we had no other choice but to either spend the night in an airport chair, or check into the nearest hotel (which of course required a 20 minute ride on a shuttle...) So finally we check into our hotel, no luggage or anything, just the carry on items we brought with us on the plane. So we spent the night in the little cramped up hotel room and then finally the next morning we were able to get a flight out of Denver and to Tennessee. It was also a hassle because as a result of our plane being delayed, our luggage went on without us and it had a complication as well. We werent able to find it at the place where they hold your luggage. So we had to go to my Aunts house and WAIT to have them deliver our luggage later that night, once theyd found it. Ugh. It was awful!! Thank goodness nothing along those lines has really happened since. Except last year when my family and I were coming home from Disneyworld we had to spend the night in... Denver, i believe it was AGAIN, but at least they put us up in a nice hotel this time instead of... what they did last time... So it wasnt quite as bad and it was easier to get our luggage once we arrived at the Sacramento Int'l Airport. PLUS i got to miss another day of school :) hahaha Lets just say that on both those occasions it was more or less a relief to be home :) Well enough of bad airport stories haha :)

Did you guys see the goal that Cristiano Ronaldo made? It was pretty hilarious :) but it was also quite cool haha Did you guys see the video/article? heres the link
I hope this link works, the last one i tried did not work out... and it was a good video! haha

Oralando Bloom is engaged! Can you believe it? haha wow! I feel bad for all the people that liked him :) I dunno, thinking of Orlando Bloom makes me think of my spanish teacher Senorita Marquez. She was an amazing teacher, probably one of my favorites at Churchill :) But ya i just know that because she had a crush on Orlando Bloom.... oh wait.... no..... MY BAD it was Johnny Depp!!! My bad... at least theyre both from the Pirates of the Caribbean... But ya... oopsies. :) Well never mind that subject...

Oh man! I totally forgot to go back and say that i never watched the rest of American Idol haha it really really sucked this year! Like i got to this point where i didnt even want to watch it anymore... I think Lee won? Well thats good, i just did NOT like Crystal very much... I mean i didnt even like her voice very much either... And Casey... he wasnt that good. Now that i think about it Lee probably was the best. Not NEARLY as good as Adam Lambert in my opinion :D he was AMAZING! But yaaa this American Idol season just did NOT live up to my expectations... PLUS Simon is leaving!! Whos gunna be the grumpy Brit in the show now?!?!?! haha oh well.... I probably wont be watching much more American Idol... So i read on yahoo that they changed the minimum age from 16 to 15... WOW a WHOLE 1 YEAR! Thats gunna me SUCH a difference when people audition... NOT! Because the people that appear on the show are gunna be soooo much better when they're a year younger.... Well whatever... American Idol does what it wants i guess...

Wow, interesting, the cast of Glee is getting a new addition, Charice. Shes an international singer, and i just watched her music video called pyramid with Iyaz. It was pretty good, kind of boring though... but anyways shes going to be a foreign exchange student who is going to give Rachel some competition... :D It shall be interesting for all you gleeks out there! I must say that i am a gleek :) its a pretty amazing show!

Whoa? An iphone 4? Jeesh, why so many iphones and itouches? ipods and shuffles! Goodness, apple sure is making their way around the world quite fast! But i guess that might be saying something about the quality? That its good? Who knows, based off what i know about apple it seems pretty awesome to me :) I love my macbook haha and i haven't had any problems with my ipod haha but those ar the only apple things i know. Plus apples seem really efficient because it seems as though they are better at blocking viruses and are faster in general and more portably convenient i guess.... :)

Well i dont think i have anything else to write about so ill put some interesting facts below and call it a wrap :)

1. The first product to have a barcode was Wrigley's Gum
2. American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating 1 olive from each salad served in first class (Smart airline!)

Well I hope you enjoyed those fun and interesting facts! I dont yet have an interesting/deep quote to end my blogs with yet, so i guess i will STILL end it with a plain and simple:

The End! :)

All things Random :)

Hey :) ok so, i am doing my best to try blogging more than less, but im not sure how it will go. I definitely want to share my summer adventures because im pretty sure they'll be fun! I seriously cant wait for my florida vacay and my camp trip to YMCA Camp Jones Gulch. Its an amazing place and i know ill have fun :)

I wish i had more interesting things to blog about, but nothing terribly interesting has been happening in my life.... haha today i went to a luau at the gym my mom goes to cuz she wants me to spend a lot of time there this summer, so i went with Hannah, i know some people there though, but it was still pretty funn :) it was quite interesting to watch people hula dance :D haha pretty ridiculous.

So the other day i was walking my dog after tennis. We went out to this lookout point thats near my house. There was construction work going on at one of the houses nearby so there were loud noises. One particular noise (like a dumpster lid falling) freaked my dog, Wilson, out. He then shot off into the trees nearby and disappeared. It was pretty ridiculous. I chased after him but i couldnt find him so i called my dad to help me look for him. We looked for him for like 20 minutes, but we couldnt find him anywhere!! So then we decided to go home and make LOST DOG posters :( but when we got home and looked in the backyard he was there panting away like nothing happened at all. It was crazy. You could say my dad and i were more or less frustrated with the dog. But oh well, at least he was home :)

So today i was at the store shopping for my trip to florida. I was trying on some dresses that would be nice for the fourth or a nice night out on the town. I went to try them on, but my dad was there so my mom and him stayed outside. We decided to go when it was the most crowded... so i had to try on all the dresses (and they are most certainly out of my comfort zone) and go out in front of all these strangers. When i went out to show my mom (who was with my dad) every person i walked by just started at me... It was quite awkward..... :S plus this random woman stranger was giving her opinion to us openly haha it was quite comical, but i must say it was helpful. But awkward as well... But anyways in the end i ended up buying two dresses :)

i am feeling way to lazy to write why i like Queen Nefertiti, but i just really liked her because she was such a powerful woman. She was the first female Pharoh, or maybe it was Hatshepsut... but still I really liked both of them because they were such powerful woman. They did what other woman couldnt. They ruled Egypt even though they were women! Nefertiti took over after her husband king Akhnatan(?) died. I dont think Hatshepsut was married though... she just stayed single throughout her rule and she ruled cuz her brothers were sick and dying i think. That sounds about right, but im not positive. Anyways ya, i really like the Egyptian dog statue we have :)

You know, there are so many books and television shows out there about vampires. I was talking about it with my mom a while back and she jokingly said "what if all these shows and movies and books are coming out because vampires want to warn the human race that they are coming" haha and so we launched into this huge discussion about it. It was pretty interesting. But ya i dunno it'd be kind of weird to live in a world where things like vampires existed, but then again i think it would be totally awesome. If, of course, i wasn't a victim of one. :) Hhhmmm if you could bring one mythical creature alive, what would it be? Fairies? Werewolves? Vampires? Gods? (if so Roman or Greek?) etc. I think id want greek mythological creatures and gods to be alive. And that we lived in a world where demi-gods really did exist. Quite like the one that Percy Jackson lives in :) I dunno it just sounds fun :) and theres an element of danger :) If i was a demi-god, i think id either want to be daughter of the sea god (Posiedon) or daughter of Zeus :) Water and sky just seem like such cool things to be able to control and understand :)

I cant think of anything else to write about right now... so i think that i am going to end this :) haha so lets seee... i think that first im going to write a few interesting facts i found:

1. There are more chickens than people in the world
2. Tigers have striped skin instead of just striped fur
3. Thomas Edison (who invented the lightbulb) was afraid of the dark
4. Womens hearts beat faster than mens
5. You'll eat about 35,000 cookies in your life
6. Rubberbands last longer when refrigerated
7. Reindeer like eating bananas
8. The average person has 1,460 dreams a year
9. The average eprson drinks 600 sodas a year
10. Only 55% of all americans know that the sun is a star.

Well now that i've gived you 10 interesting facts i hope you like :) Maybe i will start doing that and give a few interesting facts at the end of every blog... good idea? I dunno. Maybe i might do quotes sometimes too. But im not sure. Well anyways... as always i'm gunna stick with a plain and simple:

The End :)

I'm not random at all :)

Soooo I am blogging again... haha only three days later :) I am superrr excited for next next week in floridaa :) Except i really hope that my plane doesnt get all messed up. It really sucks when you have a lay over and then you end up having to run from one gate to the next... it sucks soo much. Cuz one time my dad and i had to do that... ugh it was awful. And then another time my mom and i had to do the same thing. On different trips! I had to like run ahead and have them hold the gate. But anywayss how about we not focus on the negatives of certain airlines (whose names shall not be mentioned) *cough cough* united *cough cough* but anywayssss i dont think were going to be flying on the airline :) Ive always wondered what it would be like to fly first class. Does it really look the way it does in movies? Cuz ive seen several variations... but who knows. Hopefully i might be able to find out someday :)

Wow so i just watched this video off yahoo about why June is such a popular month to get married in. The video said that it dates back to the roman goddess juno, the goddess of marriage. Which makes total sense. And she's also the goddess of finances as well... hhhmm sounds pretty coincidental to me :) Also the reason brides wear white on their wedding day is because of Queen Victoria when she married a german noble. Ohhh my love for history :) It is one of my favorite subjects. Aside from english of course. myabe its just cuz i like to write so much... hence this blog... even though im not very good. but ANYWAYS i just saw that video and it looked interesting :)
Check it out

So anyways... the World Cup :) I havent been watching it and i feel really bad cuz ive really been wanting to but i just havent been able to get around to it. BUT im reading off yahoo that... today im guessing?.... Germany lost 0-1 against Serbia, the USA and Slovania tied 2-2, and England and Algeria, it looks like, tied 0-0. I guess thats my mini recap for today :) hahaha

So... one TV show that definitely has me hooked and wanting more? THE VAMPIRE DIARIES! Oh my goodness, i love that show haha one of my favorites :) It is coming back in September! So loonnnnggggggggg!!! It seems that these days the actual show season is becoming shorter and the periods in between are getting longer... I hear that the show pretty little liars is also quite good, but i havent quite been hooked on it just yet. Mind you ive only seen half of one episode. Maybe ill get to see more...

Hhhmmm it seem as though they are no good movies out right now. I mean I know that some people would beg to differ that Toy Story 3 is out and "oh my goodness lets go watch it!" but the whole toy story draw was just never there for me... haha hhmmm Eclipse is coming out the 30th... i hope its better than the last two, but im not getting my hopes up... Cuz i mean, based off the acting.... its not gunna be to pretty... well anyways...

I really want some good books to read, but i just havent been able to find any lately.... any good suggestions out there? haha well one book that i just adore is called Snowflower and the Secret Fan. Its about a Chinese girl named Lily and how she goes from being poor to pretty much the richest woman in town. Along the way she makes some good friends :) and she makes some enemies... but i think once she becomes Lady Lu she holds herself in a respective manner and shows people kindess who dont necessarily deserve it. She helped so many people, but along the way she ends up hurting her best friend. I dunno, its just a good book and i recommend it, if you like historical fiction kind of. its by Lisa See. I read another of her books called Peony In Love, it was a good book as well (though not as good as the first i must say) But i love the way it ended :) (though the ending shall not be revealed, I want it to be a nice surprise for you as it was for me... even though theres probably only one person reading this right now hahaha *wink wink* ) Another book i read that i thought was good (although it wasnt exactly what i expected because it didnt go very in depth) was called The Sphinx's Princess (ya ya ya it sounds kinda corny but whatev) I was expecting it to be more about the actual historical figure Nefertiti but instead it was kind of like about a person who was named after the great Nefertiti. I really like Nefertiti (ill explain why in a different blog), I actually did one of my 6th grade reports on her (as well as Queen Hatshepsut) but anyways i have this egyptian dog in my house and it stands near the couch (odd decoration huh?) but anyways i secretly named it Nefertiti :) Just cuz i love the name. And also because im just that cool ;) thats right, be jealous :)

Well i think thats all i have for now... and i really cant think of anything profound to say to end this blog so maybe ill just stick with a plain and simple:

The End! :)

Summer :)

Wow! So much has happened since the last time i blogged. hhmmm its kind of sad how little i blog... haha oh well. Lets see... school is out and today was the first official day of summer. Some people may disagree, but it is in my mind. Wow i really underestimated how much i was going to miss some people. It is so strange how a person that you think is just another person on your life can grow into someone special. Someone that you will miss... I definitely experienced that. It was soo strange to think that this one person would become someone special. Someone whom i didnt like much at first but once i got to know them, i realized they would be missed. And that i didnt want them to step out of my life, they had just stepped in... :( So in other words, some people will most definitely be missed, and other people most definitely wont. Wow i sound like a lovesick girl... well whatever.

The last week of school was AMAZING! I loved it soo much!! Well except monday, but lets face it, what mondays ever are good? Anyways it was just bad cuz we had to launch rockets, and lets just say mine didnt go to well.... Tuesday was good, but boring. Wednesday was AWESOME! I hung out with someone special :) and we had our 8th grade graduation dance that night. Which i mis say was awesome as well. Thursday was really good as well because we went to sunsplash!! Although i only went on two rides, it is definitely a trip to sunsplash that i will never forget. That i dont ever want to forget. Friday was surely a disheartening day. It was the last day of school... Its like once my social life was finally coming to a climax and i was finally beginning to look forward to school again, it was all over. Middle School was over. And reality came crashing down. Well oh well. Not much can be helped. Hhhmmm i should blog about something more intersting shouldt I, this is kind of boring...
Well this summer i am going to be going to florida :) im looking forward to spending time on the beach, and spending the fourth of july in MIAMI! i dont know whether to be excited or scared though... but mostly just excited :) I think that if i got to go to New York, it would be AMAZING! I definitely want to do a lot of shopping this summer and hang out with my friends :) PLUS i go to this summer camp! Its a YMCA camp through SF people from all over the world go there. People from spain and italy were there last summer, boys from spain and italy were there *wink wink*. Well i had an amazing time last year, and im sure this summer will be amazing too. I also want to go to sunsplash a lot :)

Wow! I cant believe that in August i am going to be a HIGH SCHOOLER! Woot Woot for Bella Vista!! I can tell that i am going to have an amazing time in High School and i am definitely looking forward to it :)

Hhhhmmm lets see... right now (as in the first week of school) i am doing a tennis camp :) ugh waking up at 6:50 in the morning is too early for a summer day. But only 2 weeks til florida!! hhmmm im trying to think of some books/shows/movies i have seen recently that i liked... but nothing is coming to mind. maybe ill just blog the rest out later, cuz this is super long and im sure no one really cares haha oh well. Well hopefully ill blog sooner than another 3 months...
