Dearest blog,
Today is ash wensday. A pretty forgotten holiday. Not in my family! We went to church and I have the mark on my forhead to remind me that we started as dust and will end as dust. kind of depressing when you think about it but a part of life non-the less. As many of you know spring has arrived which means summers coming soon. Also known as diet time. If any of you are like me you slacked off and ate a lot in winter and didnt excirsize very much and for me.....it shows :-(. Today marks day one of my diet. Im doing pretty good so far. Im giving up on all sugar items. And my parents probably just to torture me bought a box of my favorite choclate chip cookies from dillons. dont worry i didnt fall for the trap. I have a lot of homework and so little time. :-( got to go now

Quote of the day:
"you are dust and to dust you shall return"

Song of the day:
Hot and cold, I kissed a girl (my brother started singing this in the car. It was funny), thinking of you. Any katy perry song

Still reading gossip girl series.....

Think!

Today has been a day of thinking. I kind of examined my life in my brain today. For starters I only spend like 5% of my time doing things I seriously want to do . the rest of my time im in school studying things that end up giving me a headache, doing homework that i dont understand, and then practicing piano with songs i dont like. ITs a really horrible chain. I was thinking about the people who dont try at all and fail every class. thats not somethign I want to be but all those people look so HAPPY. after school the only thing they have to worry about is when to wake up for their afternoon nap in time for nightime television. They sleep in and get to school just in time for the last bell to ring. zero stress! but what people are telling me is if you work hard now it gets good later. Is that really true? It seems to me things just get more stressful later. Anyways I think the point im trying to make is we all need more fun in our lives! Thats probably why spring break was invented. and then after spring break SUMMER! The word sounds like a miricle to me. 2 1/2 months of relaxation!!!

Quote of the day:
"And when I first met you, I never would have imagined I would have such strong feelings for you. I never would have thought that I would have dreams about you, or miss being by your side, or get butterflies in my stomach when someone mentions your name. When I first met you, I never would've thought I would love you."

Secret life update tomorow....im too tired. goodnight(after about 20 more minutes of leftover homework, shower, and all the other stuff i have to do. bye

Just another day...

Hello
Before I start talking about my day i'd like to say the Oscars were pretty good last night! I liked the cheezness of it all although it didnt get very good reviews. Did we see Robert pattison? I was happy we got some twilight in there. My favorite dress might just be penelope cruz cream gown. It was beauiful. She knows how to dress. Congrats to slumdog millionare, dark night, and The curious case of benjemin button. I didnt see slumdog millionare but it must have been good since it took basically every award there was. But anyways today I woke up rode the bus to school. I went to the computer lab when I got there. Printed stuff out for bio. Then had my normal classes. In 5th hour I had to give a presentation about myself which was really kinda embarassing. But in 7th hour this guy told me I did good on it :) which ofcourse made my day. Im currently kinda guy obsessed w/guys. So im not gonna talk about that online for fear of sounding like someone who has no capabliity of making up my mind. formals coming up but im just not excited about it anymore. Im going with friends which just makes it feel like every other dance i've ever been too. Idk. ive just lost my excitment.

a boring afternoon

Hi
Today was a pretty boring staturday. I basically wasted a whole day. I woke up at like 10:00. The funny thing is I went to sleep at 9 cause I was so tired and I slept for like 13 hours. which is a looong time. When I woke up I read gossip girl and had breakfast. Then practiced piano. Then after that I basically did a whole lot of nothing till 3. Which is when we took my brother to a bowling party. A friend from his school was thowing it and I was stuck at the bowling alley with a bunch of kinda scary, big, drunk looking people. If my dad and uncle werent there i'd probably kind fear my life. ok exaggerating. But some people there were realllllly scary. Not my brothers friends but the adult bowlers. After that we went to Best buy and didnt get anything. Then now im home. tomorows my dads birthday and I havent gotten him anything yet. Im not a last minute person but hes reallllllly hard to shop for. I mean there isent really anything he wants or needs. Ill probably make him a card or something. Have you ever felt as if you could be doing something better with you life? I feel as if im letting mine waste away. I havent really made any kind of a diffrence. and i feel like I should. maybe ive just been reading to much. But I guess its just food for thought.

Goodbye farwell to you my farmone Goooooood byeeeeeee!!

Hello!
ITS FRIDAAAAY!!
Ok I know what your thinking. wow she must be stupid its been friday since 12:00 a.m that was like 17 hours ago. Well ive changed the meaning of friday. Friday means A. Im not at school B. Im not doing homework C. Im not doing anything stressful D. Im sitting her soaking in the free time in my life. Yay! Well a lot happened this week. Besides the me being sniffily and and coughing all week. On tuesday we had all city! which was amazing. The junior high choirs from all 4 schools sang together. It was awesome. "OYE ARE YOU LISTENING OYE CAN U HEAR US CALLING WE ARE CALLING TO U". That was the best song and it was loud an just amazing. On wensday I had model UN which was kinda boring. I sort of regret joining. But I got a 20/22 on my geometry quiz which was SUPER hard. So im proud of myself. I might just be able to make all A's by the end of the quarter which is the 27th. Cross your fingers for me. On thursday I basically slaved on homework all day which was no good. And today I took a playing test in orchestra and I did bad. I feel like Im desapointing the teacher cause I got SECOND BEST cello in the class. Which was a miricle. And now on our first test since I mess up :-(. Im gonna end with a question of the day. If you had to choose between being a barbie, myscene, bratz or some kind of action figure what would you be?

Song of the day:
YOU FOUND ME THE FRAY'
If you havent heard it find it. Its awesome.

Hi.
Today sucked monkey butt (idk why i just said that). I was sick ALL DAY LONG! I mean seriously sick. My mom thought I should stay home but I couldent cause I had important classes today that I can not miss. So I was stuck for 8 classes. And what made me mad was some people were just going home! and they werent even sick! no fair! I guess thats the price of being a "Good student" and it will "pay off in the longrun". Anyways enough pathetic self pittiness. I helped someone today! I was pretty proud of myself. There was this kid being bullyed and I totally told him to walk away and just ignore them. Then told him that from my 14 years of expirence that fighting back dosent help because an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Anyways I felt good about myself and the kid just though I was weird cause ninth graders dont talk to sevies. But It was still an attempt to make a diffrent. Tomorow I only have to go to 3 classes cause excaliburs taking a fieldtrip. We have another concert tomorow night. Same songs as last time.

STORYTIME:
So my mom was at work then this really big intemating man came holding a little kids hand and something behind his back. This was on valentines day. He asked for a woman lets call her......Melody. When melody came he went up to give her a hug and she goes DONT TOUCH ME! everyones all shocked. And he says ugh! not this again. At least take the choclates. then she goes I DONT WANT TO TAKE ANYTHING FROM U! LEAVE NOW. The man left. the end. not everyone had a "happy" valentines day. poor guy.

Hi!
have you ever felt as if you did something stupid? not a big something stupid but a little mistake. See most people forget about those but i worry about them and worry about them till they go away. I wrote this note and it said a lot of stuff about me that people done know and now im worried. I dont want to to delete it cause that would looks kinda stupid but........idk. I always have all these weird emotions and i just........end up confused. What I do know is that people shouldent be mean to each other. And I've been seeing so much of that. I got on facebook today and the first things i see is a picture of a hippo and this girl was tagged as it! and then these other people were making mean comments about this eighth graders pictures and it was just horribly mean. I always get really hurt when I see stuff like that. Im just putting it out there that before people say stuff they need to think about how they would feel if people were saying it to them. I g2g finish geometry homework so that all for now. bye

VALENTINES DAY <3 !

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!
I hope it is filled with a dozen red roses, heart-shaped choclates, cute teddy bears and the works!
I learned something about myself today. Im really bad at paying attention to things. I used to think I just day dream too much but not ive realized its beyond that. I was at a piano recital today and im not gonna lie it was pretty boring but I was so lost in my thoughts I forgot to clap for like 50% of the people. Oh well. I guess thats just the way I am. I played minuet two and arietta at the concert today. I did pretty amazing if I say so myself. What am I gonna do the rest of my valentines day you ask? Im hoping to catch some romantic movies on the television and if not im gonna pop in titanic or some other really sad romantic movie that other people find cheesy and sappy. have a fantastic valentines day.

Quote of the day:
Happy unimaginitive, consumerist-orientated, and entirley arbituary , manipulative and shallow interpretation of a romance day. -piece of flair. The anti valentines aproch is pretty funny in my opinion

You belong with me taylor swift, My heart will go one. l-o-v-e, and all the classic romance songs

Tv update:

Friday the thirteenth

Hello!
If your reading this I assume you survived friday the thirteenth without breaking any mirrors, stepping on cracks, or walking under a ladder. yay! Today was pretty amazing! I passed out really weird leftover valentines to my friends and kind strager-type people I dont normally talk too. Then the day went on really boring untill.......7th hour. Ok so im totally crushing on a new guy. Hes not my normal type either. I mean hes amazingly cute and all but hes diffrent. Hes fun to be around and dosent make me nearvous. And he sat next to me 7th hour today and it was cool. We talked and all that good stuff and I realllllly enjoyed it :-) (i'd be super embarrassed if he was reading this right now though :/ ). Afterwards I came home got dressed and went to prespetirian manor to show my aunt when i'll be spending my romantic valentines day. At a nursing home playing piano for old people. yay! then afterwards I have a date with a lot of romantic movies that make me cry. super yay! After that we went to Jc pennys and then the school dance. Someone totally took over my S.T.U.C.O job. so sad. The first hour of the valentines dance was boring. Then from 8 to 9 I danced and had a LOT of fun. Hope your valentine day starts amazing and ends even better ;-). bye to all

Heyyyyyyyy!
I have a concert at 7:00 at central! If you can make it come. Its gonna be pretty awesome. So in two days one of the biggest holidays of the year is occuring. Valentines day. For some its a day to spend with a loved one and others its a really depressing day to soak in the fact that ur single and not lovin it. oh well. Enough of me soaking in self pitty. Tomorow is the valentines dance. It should be kinda fun. Im in the dancing kind of mood so that'll be good. And dj proof will be there which means you can request songs. im kinda blah today. not much to say.

bonjour!
hows life been ya? I've been ok. yesturday was a pretty bad day. I felt so down in the dumps. I didnt even feel like writing. Today i went to school for our last rehearsal before our concert tomorow. I'm kinda excited. We're singing Oye (spanish), Dan Dansoy(Tagolon), Your voices Tune (old fashioned), Keep you lamps(slavery song), We shall over come (slavery song), and Let there be peace on earth. My favorite piece out of all of these is most definatley Oye. Its really fun and just makes you want to dance. Oh I forgot to mention the guys are doing their own piece called Tell my father. And its so sad. It makes me want to cry. Its about a soldiar whose about to die and hes telling the man to tell his father he loved him and stuff. "tell him how i wore the blue. tried and true through the fire. Tell my father if you can, I was a man". im not gonna lie they look pretty cute up there singing the song. but no telling. I also went to piece project today. That was a blast. We talked about lawrence history and we got to meet the sherif, law enforcment guy, and lawrence journal world people. They looked like a bunch of senior citizens to me but apperently their very important people in lawrence history. We also ate pizza and a lot of cookies to just make everyone fattyer :-( im kind of on a secret diet but its not working to well. and its nto a secret anymore either. Now im gonna go finish the rest of monster and law. I love that movie. It makes me laugh so hard. Hopefully I never end up with an evil mother and law like that. ugh! life would suck.

Quote of the Day:
Someday life will make perfect sense. But for now laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason.

Song of the day:
Whatever you like T.I. it may not sound like it but that song is really sweet and hes a real gentlemen. we'll miss him over his jail time. Why must celebs make such mistakes?

Thats all for now

Hi there!
I am very sorry i didnt write yesturday. I totally fail. I made it my goal to write everyday for my personal entertaiment and just because and i broke the streak. I have a very good reason. I had a BIG reserch paper for school and if i turned it in today which would be a week early i get 30 extra credit points. And i was being an over acheiver so i did it and turned my paper in today at exactly 3:12. I never have to hear the words reserch paper again..... ok ill have to hear it again just not in 7th hour civics! yay! The grammy awards were AMAZING yesturday. I have to say my favortie performances were Burnin up Jonas bros joined by Stevie wonder. It was awesome. Then fifteen Taylor Swift joined by Miley cyrus aka hannah montanna. I missed the kings of rap performance but i have a feeling if I'd seen it i'd like it. Katy Perry sure nows how to put on a show....and look like an s u l t at the same time. (excuse my language). now for the sad part. Two of my longtime celeb favorites didnt make the show. Why do u ask. Chris brown, comitted felenoy against a mysterious woman. what is her name? the world does not know. But we do know they were looking for him all night and he payed 50,000 doller bail. The woman supposedly had scars to prove of the incident. suprise suprise. Rihanna the woman he was seen leaving with was not at the grammys and has alleged scars on her face. hmmm? u thinking what im thinking. Usher was not there for the first time in years because of his wife. He couldent make the biggest show of the year cause his wife had a plastic surgery incident. ugh! when will hollywood learn.

Quote of the day:
Cinderella walked on broken glass, Sleeping beuty let a whole lifetime pass, Belle fell in love with an ugly beast, Jasmine married a common theif, Ariel walked on land for love and life, Snow White barley escaped a knife. Its was all about blood, sweat, and tears because love is about facing your deepest fears.

Song of the day:
Fifteen, The best day, You belong with me, or anything taylor.

p.s. valentines day is coming up. the countdown begins. 5 more days!

Hi!
Omgoodness! Its 60 degrees outside!!! yes! cross your fingers for winter to be completley over. I am so tired of the cold! Does anyone know if the ground hog saw its shadow? They still do ground hog day right? The worst part about this winter is the fact that we didnt get a single snowday. Hopefully they make up for it in the summer. Yesturday night was the Excaibur pre concert practice/party. It was a LOT of fun. So they set up a "Jam Session" where this kids dad brought 2 electric guitars, electric drums, and a microphone. It was really fun. We went into the healths teachers room and projected music videos from Youtube while singing along with the lyrics. It was really fun. Then we got to run around the gym and play with all the stuff in there volleyball nets, basket ball, soccer goals. The place was a mess when we left but we were nice and cleaned up so the school looks as if we werent even there. Not exactly.........but it looks kinda clean. I rode my bike today. I hadent done that in so long. It was kinda fun. Now im just kinda bored facebooking, and about to watch some re-runs. Im having one of those lazy saturdays.

Quote of the day:
"I'm not a shopaholic, I'm boosting the econamy." I liked it very much because it reminded me of CONFESIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC COMING TO THEATERS NEAR YOU ON VALENTINES DAY!

Hello.
Im gonna start with the quote of the day first. here it goes
"I hated going to weddings. All the Grandmas would poke me and say your next. They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals." haha. I thought it was funny. It brighntened up my day. I got insulted today. By someone i considered a friend kinda. but not anymore. he was really mean to everyone. Today we had an honor roll assembly. You know the cheesy kind where they call everyones name and you stand up there for like 20 minutes while the whole entire student body is staring at you. :-( It was not fun. not at all. We have an excalibur party tonight. Its gonna be fun! A four story school. after hours. Where you can use the elevator and run around the whole building. Its gonna be great. HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!!!!

Adui Adui to you and you and you.....(sound of music) an amzing musical. Excpet for they lied cause adui means goodbye forever in french and they saw the people the next morning when they woke up. but oh well. Kwaheri (goodbye in swahilli)

1/5/09

Today was just bound to go horribly wrong. so i have these friends who say they have my best intrest at heart but sometimes the interfere a little to much. When I get to school i found out they've been talking to this guy i used to like and feel nothing for anymore. zero. zip. Well they talked to him and apperently he kinda likes me now. but I dont like him. at all. Im 100% over it. I guess i'll have to deal with that when it actually affects me. After that i went to geometry and found out the test was posponed till next monday!!! yay!!! Afterwards I had Orchestra and we're playing the finale to williams oveture. Everyones heard it. you know the song that goes dada da dada da dada da da da dada da dadada da da da da. It sound like somethings about to march into something else. cant really explain. It i figure out how to add a video clip i will. After that I went to English and contiuned the favorite poem project. It was also alright. Then I had civics. We're watching this movie and i cant say i know anything about it. I was secretly reading this book The pretty commity stricks back the whole time. It was pretty good and drama filled. Then afterwards I came home and watched the tyra show! yay! T.I was on there. i must say hes one cute celebrity :-). Well I've typed enough for now.

Songs of the day
Pockekfull of sunshine, These words, Unwritten, Love like this

Quote of the day

Thats all for now. bye bye

Hola!
Como estas? (the sad thing this is the extent of my spanish speaking carear).
Today was a pretty good day. did the same stuff as always. if your wondering this included
Wake up
Brush teeth, wash face, hygenic stuff
Breakfast
Bus
Excalibur
Geometry
Foods
Orchestra (cello)
Biolagy
English
Health
Civics
Yearbook (its gonna be amazing this year!)
Home
and now blogging.

So it was the average day except for i didnt ride the bus and got a ride from hannah. It was good. I had lunch with a majority of my friends today which barley happens cause we're all in diffrent classes. It was fun. So i am currently obsessed (not really, exageration) with two tv shows. Secret Life of an american teenager and Gossip girl. Heres an update......

Secret Life:
Amy got in a fight with ashley. And Amys father found a nice couple for adoption. And ricky finally agreed. Grace found out that Ricky was with Adriane behind her back. And adriances been with........her step brother. ewwwwwww!

Gossip girl:
Chuck figured out his dad was in a super secret organization. The Gentlemans club. He thinks it could have been the best night of his life and he dosent remember any of it. No sign of him and blair getting back together. Nate and vanessa are happy. Dan broke up with serena and is currently dating a teacher. ewwww

Tv can be so disapointing sometimes.

Now for the quote of the day

"Shut up, and Sing!" excalibur. I know... I know... not the best quote but i had a really good on and forgot. But now that i think about it I have another one

"Whats a quote?" so today in yearbook I had to get a quote for the wrestling page of the yearbook about how great wrestling was this year blah blah blah. So I ask the "Star" player for something I can quote him on. and he goes Whats a quote? :-( Central is obviously not doing its job teaching

I think thats all for now. And also think ill fill in all those questions your supposed to fill in the begining. Well byyyye for now

Hello all who read,
Today was....ok. It definatly wasent supercalafragalisticepsialadocious but it was alright. I had no excalibur so i got to sleep in!! It was great! those 20 minutes really make a diffrence. I was in a pretty good mood this morning and went to the library before school. I didnt get anything cause our school library kinda sucks. All the classes were ok except for geometry was super hard as always. After school i had a piano lesson. If I gave you this website you probably know that i play piano but for those of you who dont know i do. Its also ok i guess. Nothings been really good or bad latley. Just all kind of in the minute. Wait, now that I think about it I Read Forever Princess and it was Realllllly Good. But my life is just going ok.

Now for the quote of the day
"Did you forget to take your anti-bit*h pills." said by a random seventh in the hallway. The reason i picked this was because normally when a "big" eighth grade guy makes fun of a seventh grade girl she walks away and cries in the bathroom or just go off running. But this girl totally stuck up for herself and was super brave and it payed off. The guy was the one who just walked away.

The story was completley pointless but oh well.

I'll write more tomorow

xoxo
