Boys and Other Atrocities Sent Upon Our Earth

2012-05-23T21:32:00.000-07:00

* A post made months ago, so the below feelings are no longer harbored.

You know what sucks? Boys. Boys suck. They really, really do.

Boys were sent upon our earth to reek havoc within our hearts, and all the while they don't even notice because they are too busy stuffing extra cheesy Doritos in their mouths while playing COD, or even worse carving pumpkins into penises then having the audacity to ask for your flashlight to light the damn thing up.

Yep. And I still didn't get it back.

Moving on from that statement, I would like to say that even despite their awful, awful ways we still waste our time wondering if he's going to notice our stupid Facebook statuses quoted from silly little love songs or the fact that we straightened our hair so it's like a majestic golden waterfall flowing from our heads.

Nope.

So being "in like' with someone is not easy at all. You see things were going well. Then they went downhill.

"Aw, well, what happened?"

HOW THE HELL SHOULD I KNOW. I mean, one second it's "Hey babe, I like you, you like me, we've got chemistry, now let's ride our way around the periodic table of L-O-V-E and let science do the rest."

Then the next second it's "...." Oh I'm sorry, there's no example for the next second because well, there is no conversacion (yes, that was said in a Spanish accent), no action just the freaking WIND BLOWING THROUGH THE HOLE IN MY HEART.

Ok, see that was an exaggeration.

Kind of.

I can do better though. I know I can do better, because let's be honest....

.......

......

Alright, so maybe I can't do better. I mean, after all I am writing a blog about my petty problems.

I mean...this is a completely fictional blog about somebody else's problems, and I'm just the author reiterating the events in first person.

ANYWHO.

The whole situation, with guys and girls, and how we are all supposed to end up together at some point...yeah, I'm not seeing it. Right now, I want to trip every guy I see.

As for the other atrocities.

Let's talk about college.

Now, college is awesome, but I mean when I'm having to write an essay everyday I honestly think I should be getting paid my professor's salary since all my professor does is click a button for the powerpoint (the very bright powerpoint located in a dark little room with NO WINDOWS) to burn my corneas. The least my professor could do is a little dance when she presses the button.

"Anddddddd for the next slide!" Cha cha cha!

Maybe even add some instrumentals. And some backup dancers. Preferably boy dancers with the gelled spiky hair and those poofy vests. Backstreet's back alright!

Apparently this is asking too much.

Sigh.

And the cafeteria food here is getting...predictable.

Day 1: Mmm mm mmm! Look at all this food! Fries, pasta, pizza, salad, and whatever the hell that is in the stew pot!

Day 2: Oh wow! Fries, pasta, pizza, salad, and stew pot stuff!

Day 3: Oh fries, pasta, pizza, salad, and that crap.

Day 4: Disgusting potatoes shredded with no salt, carbs, carbs, dying greenery, and WHAT THE HELL IS THIS.

Day 5: Starvation.

Well, this has been one heck of a blog! I was able to release thoughts that have been stuck on my mind lately, and I feel good.

And I'm feeling good! Dum. Dum. Dum. Duh Dum.

Okay peace my brothas and sistas from other mothas and mistas.

Waffle Brain Syndrome

2012-05-23T21:26:00.000-07:00

Sometimes being a super hero isn't easy.

Sometimes it's a pain in the ass.

Sometimes it's tiring.

Sometimes you want someone else to be a super hero.

I wouldn't mind it if you were my super hero for a day.

It could at least get me through the week.

You could pick me up.

I'd probably feel high for a good while.

I'm not in danger.

I just need some saving.

Do you know what I'm saying?

I'm saying that, eventually, I'll need saving from myself.

Because I can't do this on my own.

You know, I'm sick and tired of fighting crime.

When on the other hand, you could be there right by my side.

****************

Nah, the boy has WBS (Waffle Brain Sydrome) So cross that ^ idea off the list.

Let me describe what WBS is. You take the "W" away and there's your answer.

It's seen in almost every guy. See, girls can multitask. I can go out have fun with my friends, get my homework done, and make time to see that guy I like.

Guy's Brain: Football or girl. I'll go with football.

Food or girl. Hm. Food.

Hey there's the girl I like! Let me go say h- FRIED CHICKEN?! *Goes to chicken

(And FINALLY) Oh there's that girl I like, let me go say hi! *Goes to girl

Boys think in sections. Hence the name "Waffle Brain Syndrome". Waffles have sections. The butter and syrup are put into these sections, whereas with us pancakes (girls), all the condiments can chill happily in one big conglomeration of deliciocity.

Boys are incapable of this and can only focus on one thing at a time.

So for all of you girls out there, that guy is not ignoring you. He's just mentally impaired.

Unless you're some psycho freak who watches him when he sleeps and picks strands of his hair to perfect that clone experiment you've been testing for several months, then yes - yes he is ignoring you. Even if your intentions are honest, he's probably putting campus security on speed dial and considering the bald look because of you.

Well that's all I feel like saying. Time for a nap because fighting the monsters on campus today was pretty draining.

Hey peeps! So I found some old posts I made way back from my first semester of college. For some reason, I had taken them down (probably because I felt silly/idiotic) but I read them over and realized, "Eh. They're a little stupid, but what the heck!"

I'll post them in two seconds! Just make note that they are from awhile ago, and that I no longer hold the feelings described in the posts anymore.

*Also, some new posts are in the making! And by "in the making" I mean I'm thinking about them in my brainium hehe....almost all of my posts are written on the spot with little revision.

Therefore, I'm sorry for the numerous grammatical air-errs.

Small joke, small joke. (I know, I'm a loser)

Alright, peace brothers and sistas from other mothas and mistas.

Just Some Random Thoughts

2012-05-12T22:28:00.001-07:00

Hey guys!

Yeah, I know...it's been awhile.

More than awhile, really. Like weeks. Months.

Years.

Not really.

But close.

No....

Whatever.

Wow, I haven't written a post in a freaking LONG time!

Funny story: I was bopping around on the internet like I always do, until I witnessed the most horrific Facebook incident, that it honestly made me puke.

Ok, not puke, but it made me want to write a hate-filled, anger driven, post about how STUPID girls are/can be.

I threw my headphones on and thought "I'm writing a post about stupid girls! I don't even know what time it is because my phone is lost somewhere in my tidal wave of college crap from moving out (Yes, freshman year has ended and it freaking ROCKED)!"

Until I realized the time is always, unwaveringly located on my laptop. *Duh...

Well, after I decided that I was going to write this post about stupid girls, I decided that why stop at stupid girls? Let's talk about how stupid people can be in general!

On my mark, get set.....GOOO!

So first off, who in the right state of mind would create a photo album entitled "this is what you left behind" and post pictures of herself in front of some ugly curtain, biting her lip in the most awkward/non-modelesque way (hello? you're not a model)?

That's right! No one with stable mental health would do such a thing.

Next - why would you quote yourself in a status? Who are you? Ghandi? Did you fight for some cause that changed the course of the future?

Maybe you're fighting for Idiot Rights.

I don't know.

But unless you're Oprah, George Washington, or the Mean Girl's script - you should NOT be quoting yourself.

Moving on... - boys!

Boys- unless you are gay, stop acting gay.

Taking millions of pictures of yourselves before you go out on a Friday night to get drunk is not masculine in the least bit.

Posting the pictures on Facebook is an even bigger N-O.

Bringing the camera out with you....that's even gayer than Richard Simmons teaching a spinning class....

Listen, even I, a girl - a fully functioning female who loves all those girly things - won't bring a camera out with her on a Friday night. It's weird.

Really....what do you do? Get the bouncer of the club to hold your lipstick as you search through your purse to find your camera so you and your 'buddies' can get a decent group shot?

Ew.

No. Just stop....existing.

Just kidding.

Continue to exist.

But don't bring your camera with you to document your existence. You're a guy. Go throw a football or scratch those places where the sun don't shine. Do anything, please, but take pictures of yourself..... Please.

Which brings me to the topic of the classic mirror/phone in face default picture on Facebook.

You know what? No, I can't even bring myself to talk about that topic.

All I'll say is, I'm assuming people are liking your profile picture because they can't see your face behind your huge-ass smartphone with the blinding flash that is reflecting off of the mirror surface.

Great shot of you. Really - never looked better!

Anywho, this is fun! I'm letting off some steam here. Wow, I feel like a teapot.

Just letting out all of that steam. It's like a sauna.

Mmmm. Clean pores.

Next topic!

I absolutely hate being second best all of the time.

Honestly, though, if you knew my life - hahahaha

It's a joke.

A funny one, I'll give it that. I mean, even I laugh at it - ha ha ha!

Ew...I sound crazy. No more crazy laughing through a post.

Seriously though.

People need to stop coming to me, acting like their world is coming to a tragic end because of stupid crap, making me feel like I'm actually making them feel better, which makes me feel like I'm an awesome friend, only to find out that - hey! you're doing a whole lot better the next day! And wow. You're best friends with the person you were venting to me about - about how miserable she was making you feel. And now, I'm sitting here, alone, like an idiot.

Please - maybe next time you can bring a check considering I'm practically only a therapist to you and NOT a friend. Psh, it's okay - I need the money anyway.

To buy myself a truck. A big truck!

Topic switch!

I want a truck so badly. How hot would that be? Carting my girly ass all around town in a huge, awesome truck?

It would be beyond awesome, okay? It would be...a word that I can't think of now because I am too exhausted.

Also, another topic change - why can't guys just like the girls that like them?

See, I like this guy, and I am 100% positive that no girl likes him as much as I do - so why can't I win? Why can't the person the other person likes the most just like that person back?

Ugh, that was confusing.

Why does Spotify have ads?

Why can't he just seeeeee

Why can't I just say "Yo! You. I like you."

And why can't he be like, "Hey, I heard you were a wild oneeeeeeee!"

Why can't we sing a duet to "Don't Mess With My Man?"

Why am I still typing ridiculous things.....

Why am I listening to oldies right now?

I like the oldies that's why...

Why do I keep asking questions?

Ugh, it's like my philosophy class all over again.

THAT was a nightmare.

And I don't give a damn about my reputationnnnnn.

Why do I have a Twitter account? I hate Twitter.

Why am I still awake....

I need to be up by 7 am.

Happy Eve of Mother's Day!

Okay...that's enough.

May we all have sweet dreams about extremely hot baseball players.

Just A Normal Post...

2012-01-05T20:47:00.000-08:00

Let's see how normal this post can last.

So! I forgot to tell you I have a *new* laptop! Sheila is collecting dust somewhere...Huh....I wonder where she is collecting dust....

Anywho.

This one is named Leo!

Yay!

So yeah. That's all I had planned to say, but I guess I'll keep going for the sake of my BOREDOM.

Some people are so mean. Am I right?

What is wrong with half of the world? Do we need to say rude, unnecessary things? And use such vulgar language?

NO!

Here's a lesson: If you have a negative comment or a rude remark, then keep it to yourself.

Now, knowing me, I have a closest full that's bursting at the hinges with mean criticisms I could spew at society. And do I?

Yes! I do!

But maybe it'd be better if I stopped. Like for example, I should stop calling the guy who I liked/like/whatever the hell I feel a dirty, rotten, heartless, rat-like, piggish, butt munching, stupid, ugly, charming, gay, beautiful, jerk.

*Cough.

That's not quite nice....

Or another example: calling every annoying skank on Facebook (you know, the "like the pic, not the link" twit faces) an annoying skank. Because they are probably insecure and need mental help.

I'm not very good at this. I'm sorry.

Nevermind this nonsense, topic change!

You know what I've been addicted to lately?

Twitter.

It's so cool because you can make it look pretty!

I put an ocean wave as my background picture and and I have sea blues and greens as my font colors! Also, I'm purposefully trying to have hardly any followers because I can tweet about whatever I want without people being offended or me worrying about what other people might think.

There's too many people on Facebook for me. And it doesn't look as pretty and it's annoying compared to Twitter. Although, thinking of it, people piss me off on Twitter, too.

I can't escape from the imbeciles. That's why I seclude myself more often than not. I try to escape them, but they always find me.

Speaking of imbeciles.

Whose idea was it to take pitchforks and burn torches to run out every surrounding town's village idiot into my town?

No, really.

Driving on my main road today was like being swept up in a horrible circus act with clowns zipping all around me in minivans and moving trucks.

YES. MOVING TRUCKS.

This big, dirty truck that I had been keeping my eye on for a long time (because I saw it stall in the middle of the road...YEAH KIND OF DANGEROUS) decides to pull out right in front of me.

And what is it with people talking on the cell phone?

HELLOOOO ANSWER THIS: WHY ARE YOU DRIVING 60 MPH WITH BOTH HANDS OFF THE FREAKING WHEEL? BECAUSE OMGSH DANNY TEXTED YOU AND YOU JUST HAVE TO TEXT BACK? Um, I don't think that's an excuse! It'll sound like a poor one when people try to explain your untimely croaking!

Enough of this.

Simply thinking of the main road I have to drive on everyday makes my right foot slam down on an invisible gas pedal.

No, no...I don't have road rage...

Not that much anyway.

Well, that's all I have in me for today.

Reasons For Why I Am Single

2011-12-30T21:50:00.000-08:00

You know what sucks?

Being single. Being single!

Yes, I said it twice for emphasis. EMPHASIS!

Anywho.

Yep, I've been single my whole life. Can you believe it? Single for my ENTIRE LIFE.

Is this even normal? No, really. I think I may have a disease or a curse or "the ugly" as Patrick Star would put it.

You don't understand though. I have put a lot of thought into this. And with that I have derived various reasons for why I have never had a boyfriend. Let's tick them off.

1) I am writing a post on a blog about being single.

2) There is a bra in my sock drawer.

3) There is an empty bag of gummy bears in my room. Who eats a whole bag of gummy bears? Single people.

4) I still watch Disney movies

5) I get annoyed too easily with people

6) My eye twitches when I'm stressed

7) My left calf muscle has been spazing out for 20 min

8) I could use a shower right now....

9) I tell my dog all of my problems.

10) My room is hardly ever neat

11) This nail polish has been on my toes since October

12) I'm really devastated over the fact I will never be a Teen Titan

13) I'm just single and always will be. Let's face it, I'll be posting about my sad, sad life until my fingers grow cold.

14) That was depressing

15) Gouda cheese makes me too happy

16) I'm just asdjlajsdasl unable to explain how I feel most of the time. Yes, that random letter attack was intentional.

17) I'M JUST TOO WEIRD

18) I like the word "just" way too much. And I use it too much.

19) I despise couples.

20) Some days, I love everyone. This is not one of those days.

21) My love life never will go the way I want it to

22) Oh wait - LOL - my bad, I don't have a love life.

23) What the eff is a love life anyway? Gosh.

24) I will be forever single

There you have it. A list of valid reasons for my singleness. Sigh. Huh, this was kinda depressing....I apologize. Happier posts will come again soon! I promise.

Some College Advice.

2011-12-30T21:09:00.000-08:00

Hey all, I know I have been lazy with posting, and I sincerely apologize for that. Have no fear, because, yes, I am still alive and well. It's just been a bit hectic. Why? Because of COLLEGE!

So since I have survived my first semester at college and have acquired more knowledge then you peppy, moody, angsty high school students (if you are out of college, then whatever) I shall bestow some wise words on your behalf.

You see, you may love high school now, but guess what? Your years at that rat hole will fly by! Excuse me for using not-so-nice terms when referring to hell school - I mean, high school, because I happened to have an icky experience there, but that's what happens when you are forced to go to a practically all white, snotty Catholic school run by Mussolini reincarnated.

Anywho, if you hate high school then college is like.....13192309139812102931209831023809 times better. If you love high school and you never want to leave, it'll be a hit or miss. It depends.

Alright, let's cut the small talk and get to my golden advice.

Numero Uno: Yes, there is a dining hall open for you at almost all hours of the day and yes it does contain an ice cream bar (complete with a soft serve machine!), but YOU WILL NOT DIVE OFF THE DEEP END AND DROWN IN ITS CREAMY CALORIE-NESS. The freshman 15 does exist and it's a horrific monster that looms at every ice cream and pizza bar at college. Just watch yourself, and if those jeans start to feel tight around the hips, that's your warning sign. Don't ignore it. Or you'll end up like that lady who is trying to reach 1000 pounds and has her boyfriend feed her donuts as he Irish dances on her rolls of fat (Google her).

Moving on. This next one is for girls.

2) You will probably go to a party even if you hate parties. If you have fun or not, that's up for you to decide. But that guy who is going to hit on you is a player. Trust me. And he does not care about your little dreams about falling in love at college or whatever, okay? He just wants to score with you so he can brag about it to all of his stupid weasels (or friends, same thing) and then he will most likely hurt you. This happens 99.9% of the time. That .1% is somewhere in a Disney movie.

This next one is for guys.

Tres- Guys don't be jerks. If you want to be a smart ass and play girls like they are vinyl records or something (yeah, no one uses records anymore, I know. How about play them like a pan flute?), then you will end up fat, alone, and sad. Bottom line, be nice and respectful. Or else no one will like you, not even yourself.

D) Focus on your schoolwork! Do it. There will be plenty of activities to attend, trust me. So get cracking on your workload and try to be the best student you can be. College actually matters.

Fifth: Haha another tip, DON'T wear your lanyard around campus, okay? That's basically wearing a sign with bold letters that says, "I'M A FRESHMAN."

6) The upperclassman are in no way intimidating. They are actually really nice, normal people. So come out of your little turtle shell and don't be afraid to ask where a certain building is or which professor is good/bad.

Numero Seis- Try the gym every once in awhile! You need exercise.

Eight: You will never get a decent amount of sleep again. Except when you go back home for breaks. And when you go home, you'll really appreciate it. What you'll want to do is bring your favorite pillow and blanket from home, so that you will be comfortable when you finally get some shut eye. Also, invest in an egg crate. It'll save your back.

I) Be friendly to everyone, because this is no longer high school and people are actually nice and a little more mature now so you don't want to come off as hostile. You do want to make friends, right?

X) Get a job on campus! You're going to run out of cash sooooooooo fast. You don't want to pull from your savings account, so earn a little side cash.

329801) Bring lots of clothing with you as well as lots of storage containers. Your closet will be pitiful and those dresser drawers are shallow.

T) Be neat. Life can get hectic, but try to keep your things organized or else you'll be scrambling to find that textbook and wind up late to class.

22) Make friends with the food servers in the dining hall!

23) It's your first semester and everything is new and exciting! Go and have fun!

Alright. I think I'm finished with this post. I hope you all eat and digest my fruitful words.

Dying Would Be An Great Adventure Indeed

2011-08-11T21:27:00.000-07:00

If I could die right now, I think I would.

I would bring you with me because I don't want to die alone-

To die alone would be a tragic end indeed.

I would want to die before you.

I would want to enter paradise confused

but then relax into joyous realization that you are right behind me smiling.

We would hug tightly then emerge into light.

Establishing how blind we were before this moment.

We would laugh,

saying how ironic it was, that we feared all those years

to lose our lives, when it really was the best thing that could have ever happened.

I would love you more than I ever have loved you, because my love would never die.

You would kiss me like forever laid at our feet, because for once, forever would be alive.

The people would not judge us – not of our age or color – because their efforts to do so would be in vain,

And vanity is nothing but a splinter when you already live in perfection.

We would taste the sky, the non-existence of air, and the beauty of each other's souls.

We would run and fall, but not get hurt.

It would be so surreal – looking back on our former existence and noticing that it was only a long road-

a road where we could meet, fall into one another and pass into our divine purpose.

We would die together, and live.

Yes, I think if death came to me,

I would greet it.

Baggage Claim

2011-08-04T19:35:00.000-07:00

I am searching for baggage that goes with mine:
a suitcase that matches the rest of my junk,
mixed up and mangled and misshapen;
a backpack to keep my lonely tote company;
anything at the ready to pack and flee with me
to scour the planet for adventurous lessons;
or a bag that can hold the weight of my belongings,
which happen to be very heavy at the moment.

Can you hold my world in your hands?
Can you make yourself last?
Will you fight to fall apart not?
Will you promise to at my side hang?

Life is messy and so am I – objects are sure to fly.
I need baggage to squeeze the fly-aways tight,
so that I might not lose these pieces of mine.
You will need to keep steadfast to me;
I know it will be a perilous ride.
I assure you I will grasp your handle,
so long as you grasp mine.

Yes, I am looking for baggage that goes with mine:
some one who will travel by my side until we reach the world’s edge.

Hey Ya

2011-06-27T09:47:00.000-07:00

Hello! I haven't written a post in awhile! So what have I been up to? Let's see.

I think I am destined to work in a library for the rest of my life! I went from doing trivial volunteer work at my High School library to doing research work in...MY NEW SCHOOL'S LIBRARY! Well, it's college really. The excellent news? I am paid! Granted it's minimum wage, but hey! it's money.

Other than that I have finished some final High School duties, such as graduating. *Cue happy music*

"Ohhhhhhh YEAH! SO LONG RAT HOLE! I WON'T BE MISSIN' YA!" *Happy dances*

Good stuff.

Don't worry (because I know you were all SO worried about my whereabouts), I'll be writing posts again soon. In the meantime, I must continue saving the world. It's time consuming, but alas! there are sad and unfortunate civilians crying out my name...

See ya.

And so far I want to crawl in a hole and weep.

Well readers, I've done the most tragic thing possible. I'm starting over with my whole novel. I've written four pages so far, and I HATE IT. I'm so distressed right now. I need some kind of inspiration because my imagination is lacking.

Treading Such Deep Waters

2011-03-27T16:52:00.000-07:00

If this plane is heading for certain demise,

I’ll turn the volume up to my favorite song

And sing along.

Let the volume swallow me in and spit me out,

Plane pieces flying about,

Hit the ocean floor and wash to shore,

Waking up with eyes wide open

And my mind cleared,

Holding my heart up high and proud,

Saying “I survived the worst!”

The world stopped and stared,

Shaking its head solemnly -

“Oh honey you have not seen a single thing.

Not one disaster has touched you,

Not a whirlpool of danger neared you-

the worst is yet to come.”

It decided to put my song on repeat -

an redundant fall into the ocean blue.

“At least you’ll have something to fall into,” it smiled,

“Others fall and never return,

but Darling, you learned about swimming,

and so you’ll swim, swim, swim.

You’ll never stop treading these waters

or singing your song

so let’s just sing along

and survive the worst.”

I nodded in consent

Held my breath,

And sang my melody for the entire ride.

I LOVE MY TEDDY BEAR!

No. Not a stuffed animal, although he resembles one! My dog, Teddy Bear. He's adorable. I introduced him to my blog with a lovely candid on the right....scroll down and see for yourself and let his cuteness make you rethink what the definition of cuteness really is! He wasn't too happy that I took that picture.... even after I tried convincing him that he is very photogenic! Animals these days....

Anyways, I've been working on some poetry. And my story's outline as well. Slowly but surely!

His Adventure

2011-03-13T18:06:00.000-07:00

"His Adventure"

If you were about to drown

in a floating sea

of bright balloons,

I'd plan the perfect escape.

Through cotton candy clouds

I'd glide through

in my rainbow colored

hot air balloon.

I’d lasso your waist,

Swing you along,

skimming you across

stretched rubbery tops.

I’d lock you

in your sway; suspended

between air, sky, and

helium-filled disasters.

As we’d ride by,

I’d sob like rain

to drench you,

Whistle like wind

to dry you,

Smile like sunlight

to warm you.

Curse like lightning

to surprise you,

Yell like thunder

to stir you, and

Cold-shoulder you like snow

to muffle you.

The snow would then settle.

I’d stir within;

the quiet swallowing

both You and I down

its black-hole throat.

I’d never untie you,

but I’d sing like the birds

to remind you

that I’m not malevolent.

I am saving you.

Return the favor,

you would have already.

Through every storm,

by hanging along.

And I’d never release you.

Because:

Adventure is your treasure.

My treasure is adventure.

I will dangle my pearls

from golden puppet strings

before your eyes,

the way I'd sway you

from my rainbow colored

Silsome Blupdates!

2011-03-01T13:06:00.000-08:00

Hello and welcome to this silsome blupdate. I thought I'd plop down and compose a post for- well I'd say for you, but since no one really reads this except my best friend, a few British people, and occasionally a Russian person it's mostly for myself. Oh and for you random Google-ing people. Hey, how's it going?

This blupdate is to inform the internet world that as of yesterday evening, I have finished the Hunger Games trilogy. I cried my eyes out the whole time. In my opinion, Collins killed off way too many people, to the point where it was sickening and made my head spin. Yet, I still loved the book. I feel like it had its ups and downs though. If it ran through one more course of editing, then it would be perfect. Some things just did not seem to flow as well as the rest of the books. Maybe she was on a limited amount of time for this last book, because the ending seemed incredibly rushed. I felt like I sprinted with every character in my arms, flung them over the edge of a cliff, and then simply strolled away as if nothing happened. But whatever. I'm a 17 year old aspiring published writer who does not know about publishing or professional writing (if there is such a term) at all.

NEW LAPTOP! That's right! I have a new laptop named Sheila and she's much more capable of handling things, such as turning on and off and not freezing up on me. Say hi, Sheila!

...

Can't blame her. She's shy.

Next. Still working on my story. It's been going dreadfully. No real progress, so I'm outlining the whole thing so I know exactly where I'm going with it. In fact, as I write about how dreadful it is, I feel the urge to fix a few things in it. Which I will do now...oh but I have homework later....maybe I'll take a nap. Choices, choices....Darn indecisiveness!!!!

Oh, as for the title of this blog, look up "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll. That should clear things up or make everything all the more confusing.

Cafeteria CHAOS. That Jello is NOT Mellow....

2011-02-19T12:40:00.000-08:00

Let's see where I left off with in the mission of destroying my APUSH teacher....

*Shimmery glimmery fade to THE CAFETERIA*

I walk into the medium-sized cafeteria with Howling Meercat by my side and Mushu, my dragon, on my shoulder hissing at every inanimate object.

"Why do you keep hissing at inanimate objects, shoe-mouse?!" I yell in utter frustration.

"Hisssssss.....because I sense DANGER YO! Hisssssssss.....Are we not trying to find that crazy old teacher's soul or not?!" He exclaims while pulling on my ear lobe.

Hm. He has a point. Perhaps he'll be able to scare the soul straight from the inanimate object by hissing....but then again his intimidation level is like....'level not scary.'

"Fine, whatever. And stop pulling on my lobe!" We walk down a row of empty tables, the remains of last period's lunch still present. I pick up a string cheese wrapper, give it a sniff, then place it back on the table.

"What is it?" Howling Meercat asks, noting the puzzling look on my face.

"Nothing. It's just strange how some people do not throw away trash." I glance down at my watch, wanting to be conscious of the time. 12:09:35.

25 more seconds. My heart is pounding. 25 MORE SECONDS!!!!

"Guys hurry up!" I screech. "We need to move." I am half way to the destination I must reach when it happens.

The bell rings.

RINGGGGGGGGGG!!!!

The sound is like a gentle stream at first. Tranquil. Then it sounds like when you turn on the water to your bathtub. Rushing....but not so desperate- calming almost. Suddenly, the sound is like a fierce waterfall, and I find I'm joining in on the percussion of rapid beats. I'm sprinting down the length of the cafeteria, with the power of the crowd right behind me. I blink my eyes, and when I open them, hands are all around me, reaching, pulling, snatching....

"LET GO!" I demand through clenched teeth. I tug away with all my strength and AHA!

I fly backwards with a cup of green jello in my hands! The last one, too! Hoo-rah.

In your face pesky freshman! I go to the front of the line and pay 50 cents for the delectable gelatin. Now, where are my accomplices? I am about to go searching for them when I hear someone snickering behind me.

"Snicker...snicker...." I whirl around and face......IT. My heart drops down into my stomach so hard I feel like I'm about to fall to the ground. I can't appear this way - I must look composed.

"Hello, I see you're purchasing today's gelatin as well!" I say charitably, trying not to say "and you could readily do without it!" Instead, I mention, "The crowd was quite relentless, was it not?"

"I see what you're trying to do," She, my dreaded APUSH teacher, hisses. "Why yes, I do agree the crowd was relentless. Especially myself...." She laughs and hands the lunch lady 60 cents. "You can keep the change, you filthy animal." She waddles off and I notice she doesn't take a spoon with her. Odd.

"I'll take that," I say to the lunch lady as I grab the 10 cents and hurry after the monster with jello. I keep a good five feet behind her, so if she turns around to see if anyone is following her I can easily hide myself behind the bulk of her body. I am trailing after her out of the cafeteria, and this is when I know that something very strange is occurring....why are we leaving? I wonder if I should run back to find my partners, but I figure that at the moment this is more crucial. I only hope that they do not worry where I am.

*Flash to where accomplices are*

"Woohoo!!! Go Mushu! Go Mushu!" *Mushu chugs jello as Howling Meercat cheers*

*Flash back to following APUSH teacher*

I continue to follow until she is in her room. I watch her go inside, then shut the door. I don't want to go with her for she would surely notice my presence if I did. I peer through the vertical window and see the horror within.

She puts the jello on the table but does not eat it. No, she in fact observes it for a moment, then stuffs it into a suitcase. AHA! I can't help myself now, this may be my only chance.

I burst through the door and yell, "I've got you now, you beast!" She falls over in surprise, and I do not wait for her to struggle to get back up. "Alohomora!" The suitcase flies open and I lunge for the jello. I hold it in my hands shakily, not sure what the spirit within will try to do to me. Before I think of it too long, I rip out my wand. "My wand's name is Dave send this jello-soul to its grave!"

The jello melts, and I laugh out of shock/happiness. "That was pretty easy!"

"Fool!" Uh-oh. She has arisen amongst her rolls of fat, her tiny head peering over the mound of her body. Her eyes glow red as she tremors, "That was my jello and not my soul! Now, I will not have an evening snack! You shall feel my wrath!" Good thing she put on a few pounds or else she would've grabbed me by the neck before I had a chance to jump out the window on the right. And, yes. I jumped out the window in full realization that I was completely wrong about the jello. The whole way down that's all I thought about.

"I was wrong....wrong, wrong, wrong..." I land in a crab apple tree, then slide down quickly. I need to find my gang to warn them of my terrible mistake. I burst through the doors of the cafeteria and see that it is again deserted, except for two figures at the very end. My friends! I run and start shouting about what has happened but then slowly come to a stop to see that Howling Meercat is tied and gagged.

And Mushu is tying the final knot around her feet.

"Oh, are we playing Cops and Robbers? I thought that was every Saturday night-"

"Foooooollll!!!" Mushu leaps onto Meercat's lap and shouts at me. "This is not Cops and Robbers!"

"Oh, is it- well I can't think of another game this would be...," I say completely puzzled.

"It is no game!!!!! You are to perish! See I have tied your friend up to throw her into the oven! And you shall be next!!!" Before I can make another attempt at guessing what game we are playing, he lunges at my face.

"Oww! Hey-muff-oof-Get off my face!!!" I manage to throw him off and while he falls to the ground I see a peculiar sight....

An empty, smoking jello cup on the table.

"Mushu! Did you eat that jello?!"

"Of course I did! It's irresistible! Now, time to bake in the oven, girl!" He again leaps at me, but I kick him across the floor.

"No!!! Mushu! That jello contained the soul of my APUSH teacher!" I think back to when he ate the crab-apple...why didn't he turn evil then? I help Meercat and ask what is going on.

"I think it's the accumulation of evil...See he ate the crab-apple which made him 40% evil, now he's eaten the jello, too, so that's another 40%. He's now 80% evil!!!" Howling Meercat yells over Mushu's loud hissing.

"So that means..." We both don't want to say it, but we know it's true. Mushu will have to be destroyed.

I decide that I must not think too long about it, so I rush over and grab him by the tail. He wriggles helplessly the whole time and, with tears in my eyes, I toss him into the kitchen's oven.

I sit down with Howling Meercat and explain the whole situation about our APUSH teacher.

"I think she knew that Mushu bought her jello. She wanted him to eat it and become...like her. So, to distract me, she bought a different jello. One to lure me out of the cafeteria while the transformation would take place. Sadly, it worked....poor Mushu."

Howling Meercat stares down at her feet. "Poor, poor Mushu. I suppose we should leave now. Finish this mission as soon as possible. Where to next?"

For once, I don't have a clue.

"I don't have a clue."

END.

Well, that was slightly depressing! Don't worry it will get better. The APUSH teacher must be destroyed no matter what!

New Poem...

2011-02-13T13:50:00.000-08:00

“Lost in Time”

I hold broken clocks.

My face distorted

in the reflection of

cracked glass surfaces.

Someone pry my fingers

from their accusing faces.

1,2,3,4,5,6,

7,8,9,10,11,12....

The undying echo of

the number of my mistakes.

Tick, tock, tick, tock.

It's a mad song,

and I can't sing along.

Complicated gears and screws-

these clocks are beyond repair.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds...

An understanding seeps

from the inner-most box

of my elusive mind,

and the seeping spreads,

warming my icy grip

on the mocking time keepers.

I drop them.

One by one, delicately smashing.

The numbers scattering.

I watch the final crash! of glass.

Gears flying about,

and I free myself

of this mess,

knowing that they are not

meant to be repaired,

but that I am.

Peeta Bread and Catnip. I'm Hungry....For The Hunger Games!

2011-02-06T14:14:00.000-08:00

Hey Everyone, I just finished The Hunger Games last night. Wow. I felt like I was reading a warped version of 1984. Seriously. I was sucked in, and I flew through this novel about a dystopian society filled with hurt, love, blood, tears, struggle for survival, and...flamboyant costumes.

This sci/fi novel is fast paced (unlike 1984, but I must say it does lack the sophistication of Georgie's book. Mostly because this is a young adult novel, so how can you really compare the two?), and it leaves you hanging onto your bed comforter for dear life. This is because the novel is so good you don't want to run to the bathroom for a potty break which leads you to clutch onto your bed spread saying "No! Not now! I need to find out what happens to Peeta Bread! Darn you, bladder!!!" And so you continue to read in this state until 3:00 am when suddenly you fear Emily Rose....then it's 3:01 am and after much sweat and more clutching of the bed spread you proceed with the thrilling novel. Only to find out that you're on the last page!

"What?! When did this happen?! Where did the time go..." Into doing nothing but reading that book! Then reality settles in, and you realize you're lacking in your normal upkeep of personal hygiene and whoa...when was the last time you washed these pajamas?! Ew. You're a mess. A complete mess. Not to mention you smell like books and coffee. Just EW.

Actually, book smell is calming, and coffee is warm and inviting yet energizing so it's really the perfect balanced atmosphere!

"Get to the stupid book already!!!"

....Okay. I will. And it's not stupid. *Puts nose haughtily in the air and continues with this supercalifragilisticexpielaladocious book review.*

Hm. No spelling suggestions. They should really incorporate that word in the dictionary now. Who has that job? Well, I should have it. It would be a word revolution at that place...you know... the place where they add words....to the dictionary. Anyway, my attention span is like a squirrel's at the moment because I only got 5 hours of sleep last night. Blame it on the book.

So the main character of The Hunger Games is Katniss. I personally hate the name because it reminds me of cat food which then reminds me cat breath which STINKS. Therefore, every time I read her name my subconscious picks up on those unpleasant things associated with it, and I am immediately turned off. Also, it sounds like Catnip.

I first started reading the book and I was murmuring through the beginning chapters. Murmuring mini-complaints...I couldn't help it. Murmuring. Writing. It was choppy. Like a karate chop.

JUST LIKE THAT! SEE! ^^^^^ That's how the writing is through the whole book, and at times it gets irritating, but it's worked to the benefit of the book in the end. The novel is very fast paced, and this style of writing contributes nicely to that pace.

Also, Katniss seemed like a very flat character through a lot of the book. She seemed tough. She's a hunter, and she's fierce no doubt, but that's all I saw. Until one poignant moment which turned that whole idea around and into something truly remarkable. I will get to that in a second.

The general outline: North America is a totalitarian, dystopian society. There is the Capitol and the twelve Districts. There was another District, District 13, but it was destroyed from the aftermath of the rebellion. The Districts rebelled against the Capitol, but they were suppressed, and as a reminder/punishment for the Districts, the Capitol created The Hunger Games. Two children, a boy and a girl, ages 12-18 (?), are drawn from each district to perform in the games. The object of the game? To kill one another off until one emerges as victor. Horrifying part (besides the fact that they murder each other)? Everyone has to watch this fight for survival on television.

Katniss's sister is picked from the random drawing, but Katniss runs in and volunteers herself instead. Now it's Katniss's fight for survival along with the boy, Peeta, who saved her from starvation once. Not to mention he's practically head over heels for her. Actually, he's secretly been so until in an interview before the games he admits he's always liked Catnip in front of everyone. Oh, right. Spoiler Alert!

Hey...don't get mad. You would've checked to see even if I told you beforehand. Plus, I mean, it's right there in your line of eyesight so there was no avoiding it anyway. I just saved you a lot of trouble.

Anywho, it's this kind of situation that draws the reader in. The wow-I've-loved-you-since-kindergarten-but-now-I-have-to-kill-you-so-I-can-go-home-and-eat-and-drink-and-be-merry-until-I-die-yet-I-will-always-live-with-the-rememberance-of-how-I-mercilessly-killed-you situation. Tragic....

The plot is brilliantly and cleverly designed. There is never a dull moment, and it's not so predictable either. Especially the ending, but I'm not saying anything at all.

Everyone dies.

What?! No. That's not true. Or is it?....Ohhhhh you'll have to read it then!!!!

Now, to the unveiling of Katniss as a dynamic character, which saved me from throwing the book across the room.

There is a scene when Katniss allies with a particular character during the games. It is at this moment we see the vulnerable Katniss. She doesn't want to be alone. She seems to fear it almost. I really can't say anything else because for those who want to read it, I don't want to spoil anything. But yes. Katniss is now more dynamic than a fully operating pinball machine. Whatever the heck that means. But she is dynamic. Yay.

Although, one thing bothers me. Katniss is shrew and skilled. She's a smart person- so one thing bothers me. If she's so smart how can she not realize that Peeta likes her?! Those who have read the book, please tell me you know what I mean. I mean COME ON ALREADY! He confessed it, he's expressed it....I just don't understand her incapability to notice such a thing.

My favorite character of the book is Cinna though. I love him. He's Katniss's stylist at the beginning ceremonies for the games. There is something different about him. He doesn't act like all the other citizens of the Capitol (who are absolutely crazy by the way. Very superficial people.). He seems to have some kind of underlying perception of what their society has become. Cinna doesn't appear to be a conformist. He isn't dressed like the citizens of the Capitol, their clothing and hair being cotton candy colored, and he holds a very cool demeanor. I'll keep an open eye on him because I have a feeling he will become a more prominent character in the sequel: Catching Fire.

Which is on it's way to me immediately. Through my mother. Who is at Barnes and Noble. Right now. As I type.

I will say this about the ending of the first book. One of the main characters has clearly angered the Capitol, and he or she probably won't be getting away with it.... And that's basically where it leaves off. Oh and some kind of triangle of love is emerging....I can practically smell it....

Duh duh dummmmmm.

Go ahead, and buy the series. Or if you're wary of how good it is, buy the first book only. It's by Suzanne Collins.

I hope you enjoyed this review of The Hunger Games! If you didn't well then go get eaten by some mutant wolves.

Oh, yeah. I didn't mention that those are in the book, too. That part FREAKED me out. It's very unsettling and yet genius on the part of Suzanne Collins. If you read it, you'll know what I mean. If you've already read it, then- OH MY GOSH WASN'T THAT CREEPY?! I WAS READING AT 2:00 AM, AND I WANTED A NIGHT LIGHT.

Not really, but I literally mouthed the words "Holy crap" when I realized something about those mutant wolves.

This blog, love it? hate it? Let me know! Oh and tell me about the book if you read it. I love those kind of discussions. Don't be shy! Come on in and spill your opinions all over the place.

Just kidding. That would make a mess that I am not willing to clean.

Later, readers.

Hm. Spelt or Spelled? I'll Go With the Healthy Kind.

Good song if you're sad.

Hi ;)

Wow, it took me five minutes to figure out how to get a wink on that smiley face.

That's besides the point though. The point I'm about to make- the point of this blog - is that my novel progress has been SABOTAGED.

Not just that, but my hair is gross, I ate a bag of sour-patch kids just after I worked out, school started again which means this semester I have PE class every morning, "The Green Hornet" was completely awesome/funny/unrealistic, but the whole time I was distracted with calculating how much fatter I'd be after I consumed my sour-patch kids and mentally writing a review of the movie in my head, and my laptop has passed on to the other life so I am stuck with typing on THIS computer (and you can't tell which one it is but it SUCKS because it's in our family study where anyone can waltz right in and discover my blogging).

I use caps a lot. I apologize, but I feel like it is an effective tool in expressing my feelings.

Anyways, life has been sabotaging my writing as you can tell from the above tirade. Not to mention that my whole world is being sustained by this little chip-like object called a USB. All of my writing (and miscellaneous files) - from short stories to poems to one failed novel to one novel in progress to a picture of zebras- is on that chip thing. A pink chip.

And yes, I had to look up the spelling of miscellaneous on Google. Alas! I spelled it right. And just then I typed the word 'spelt' instead of 'spelled.' You know why?! Because for the last few days I've been living on spelt bread- the bread people skip over in the grocery aisle because its the icky kind that falls to bits since it doesn't have white flour. Yeah, that kind. I suffer in the name of vanity.

Life, my friends (a.k.a. random people who stumbled upon my blog because Google is cruel and led you here) is a viable opponent in this world and it will constantly try to make you lose. Right now I'd say the score is:

ME: 2.5 pts

LIFE: 2.5 pts (in billions)

But I choose to play against life. That reminds me of a very good idea that was brought up in Eat.Pray.Love.

Here's the quote:

"A friend took me to the most amazing place the other day. It's called the Augusteum. Octavian Augustus built it to house his remains. When the barbarians came they trashed it a long with everything else. The great Augustus, Rome's first true great emperor. How could he have imagined that Rome, the whole world as far as he was concerned, would be in ruins. It's one of the quietest, loneliest places in Rome. The city has grown up around it over the centuries. It feels like a precious wound, a heartbreak you won't let go of because it hurts too good. We all want things to stay the same. Settle for living in misery because we're afraid of change, of things crumbling to ruins. Then I looked at around to this place, at the chaos it has endured - the way it has been adapted, burned, pillaged and found a way to build itself back up again. And I was reassured, maybe my life hasn't been so chaotic, it's just the world that is, and the real trap is getting attached to any of it. Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation."

Hm. Sounds a bit like a J.K. Rowling quote I've heard once (or a million times because she's my hero).

Not saying I'm in ruins, but my post just reminded me of this quote, and I hope you all learn something from it as I have.

I'll try to see the good in my laptop being mutilated. It gives me time to think of more ideas for my story, which allows me to avoid writer's block! The ruin of my laptop has led to the transformation of my story (in a good way).

Okay, Life, let's see the score now:

ME: 3 pts

LIFE: 2.5 pts (in billions)

Hey, wait. Spelling miscellaneous right earns me another point.

ME: 4 pts

Yay!

Bottom line is life is crazy, but it's necessary for- well, um, LIVING.

If you think life is unfair and too chaotic to handle, just remember this: Great people don't come in Betty Crocker boxes.

It's not like God reached into his holy kitchen cabinet and pulled out a box that says: Preheat Oven To 350 Degrees. Open Box. Pour Out Contents. Mix. Place In Oven. Bake For Awhile. *ding* Receive Great Person Of Importance.

No! All people are born, all people are unique and flawed, and all people have to go through crap on different levels. It's all about how we handle the obstacles thrown at us and how we arise from falling down to rock bottom.

Honestly, I haven't seen the worst of anything yet, but I will one day.

And honestly, I have no idea why I wrote this post. It's only purpose was to serve as a means to vent my feelings and to express my inner thoughts. Boring....sorry. I will post an interesting book review or a story about what's been going on with destroying my former APUSH teacher- soon, I promise.

Bye for now.

I'm reading The Hunger Games as of late! It is very interesting and the plot is the only thing that is keeping me reading it because I think so far the characters are flat and the writing too choppy. Hm, I think I smell a book review!!

Reading Between the Lines. Let My Words Cry.

Her Lovely Fate (An Original)

A girl bound to hopes and dreams

stared out across the endless sea.

Salty mist and gloomy clouds

and bitter tears are what called her out.

A grainy blanket warmed her feet,

the only comfort she received.

Eyes to waves, the connection was made.

A bond, a cord of the strongest emotion.

Her heart beat with the crash of the waves

and she tossed it out to satisfy her crave.

And forever it remains.

They called out to her, the other ones,

so she kissed her love good-bye.

But while away, she cried and cried,

“My heart is gone! I will surely die!”

She fled from that place and journeyed in haste.

Her love awaited, forever stalemated

between rocks and sand and grassy land.

The wooden pier splintered her feet,

her heart now at a faster beat.

The storm raged like an animal caged

as she cried out, “My love, I'm back! My heart, I'm back!”

The ocean spray, salty and light,

never brought her so much delight.

The others arrived in worry, spotted her and ran in a hurry.

Their cries, their yells, and shouts of fear

could not pass the ocean to her ears.

She closed her eyes, arms spread to fly,

and leaped from the balcony's wooden side.

The icy waters hugged her lungs,

welcoming her from her loving plunge.

The salty waves held her in a tie,

and she fervently hoped there to die.

In a lover's embrace, forever encased,

her body floats there

and forever remains.

My Chorus Midterm Paper: The Importance of Music Education

2011-01-25T15:45:00.000-08:00

Okay, so I started out writing this paper, and as you can see, I became bored with it.

Gwen Puckett

Select Chorus

Mod G

People tend to forget, or are ignorant of, the importance of music education. Music is a significant part of the world we live in, and to keep it alive, schools administer music programs to inspire an interest in music and learning among children of all ages. Music education is important because it covers almost all subjects in a standard curriculum: history, math, English, and foreign language. It also gives students a chance to express themselves and to learn at the same time. Without music education, THERE WOULD BE NO MUSIC.

DUH DUH DUMMMMMMM

*Mystical fade to the future. One without music education*

Little Joey is found outside a concrete building with a cardboard box that looks some what like a guitar- OH WAIT THATS RIGHT. This is a future with no music education, therefore what the crap is a guitar?!

See without music education, I can't even tell a story about the lack of music education because it doesn't exist.

And when I can't tell a story, well, that makes for an unhappy Gwen. Let's keep me happy.

*Spazzy jazzy fade to me at my computer typing*

So basically, without music education there would be cavemen beating on rocks saying “Ugg ugg, this sounds pretty nice...”

Without music education, Beethoven would be considered a crazy old goon who made too much noise- not the musical genius he was, because what was music? Noise. Buzzzz.....

Without music education, I'd probably be taking art!!!!! And I can't draw if Bruno's life depended on it!!

I'd probably fail art....and I'd probably stay back in summer school. And I'd be so depressed that I would just decide to drop the whole education thing all together, and then you'd find me on the street playing a violin for mone- OH THAT'S RIGHT. I wouldn't even be able to beg for money!! So I would just die from loneliness and starvation along with the rest of us who suck at art and would have preferred to take music class instead.

In conclusion, music education saves lives and keeps us from resorting to cavemen-like behaviors.

Love,

Gwen <3

Peace out! Be cool, stay in school, and don't forget how important music education is!

Happy Happy New Year Everyone!

2010-12-31T10:09:00.000-08:00

Yep, this new year deserves a double happy.

I really can't spend a lot of time on this post unfortunately. I have some homework that I need to get done before tomorrow so I can have my weekend free before school starts up again.

BUT YES! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!

I'm making a promise to myself that this new year is going to be kick ass. I don't give a leaping crap in the middle of a safari if people are saying this is just 'another year.' This year is going to rock my socks all the way to the heart of Bon Jovi.

So who's with me?! Let's start a revolution. I don't mean the crazed mob with pitchforks kind of revolution. I mean, let's take on some resolutions! It'll be a Resolution Revolution.

"Bah HUM FLIPPIN BUG! I don't do that crap. I never follow through with my resolutions, so why even bother?"

Well, just follow through with it! I mean, what's holding you back? Yourself, darn it!

This is what you've got to do:

Let yourself go

Not in the sense that you're going to eat whatever the heck you want and in that way 'let yourself go.'

But it's really that simple. Let yourself be free! Give up on holding yourself back. It's too exhausting.

I'm giving up and giving in- letting go so I can show exactly what I'm capable of doing.

If you want to lose weight, go join a gym and commit to it.

If you want to write a novel (haha), then write it; a little bit each day.

If you want to finally stop stalking your crush on Facebook, then just talk to him one day (preferably in person!)

If you want to be nicer to people, then get your cranky buttookis off the ground and be nice!

If you want to be courageous, then go dare yourself to do something you'd never would've have done before!

Come on people, let's do this.

Here's to 2011. The best year yet.

Happy x's 2011 times New Year!

Blogging my Journey: The Story is Unfolding Before My Eyes

Hi there! Quick post to say a few important things.

I'm working on a novel, and I'm so psyched for it that I feel like talking about it on here! I've been thinking of some pretty awesome ideas, and I'm finding that these ideas are meshing together nicely. Now, for big news!

Big news for me at least.

I'm planning on blogging about my journey through creating this novel.

Why? It gives me motivation. Motivation to keep up with it. If I plan on blogging about it, then I feel as though I HAVE to finish it. And finishing my novel is a huge, but attainable, goal.

I went through a dark time. I'll call it my ginormous writer's block of death. Only I'm surviving. I have written about 70-something pages, and I think the idea is fab. Unfortunately, my thoughts for it were not coherent within the writing. It was falling apart before my eyes. I got so frustrated, I simply gave up on the whole fiasco!

Fiasco. That's what it was becoming. A fiasco. I am thoroughly ashamed.

Not anymore. No, I am not giving up that easily. I'm going to finish it, even it is a complete train wreck. It needs some saving though. I'm going to outline the story first. That way, I have a guide to follow. I won't be writing on a whimsy. I actually started writing the outline in school during my free period. That class is extremely useful....never take it for granted if you have it. Anyway, because of that class I have the first several chapters outlined. Yay progress!

SO...What's it about? Well, I am not revealing much, because I don't like having ideas this big out for the whole world to see...and steal. I will say that it is fictional. It is a fantasy. My favorite character is Hob. It takes place in the U.S., and it's absolutely brilliant. I'm thrilled with it.

I do need some rooting on throughout this process. Keep checking back here on my blog for news! Even though I don't really have any followers or comments or anything on here, I do see that people view my blog and THAT is enough for me to keep writing/blogging. But those other aspects are greatly appreciated, of course.

This is a writer's blog. If you're a writer, you will understand exactly what I am going through. If you have a heart, you'll be here to help me along the way. *puppy dog eyes*

That's all! Lucky ducks- two blogs in one day. ;)

Getting to Know the Author: 100 Things About Me

2010-12-21T16:00:00.000-08:00

So. I think it's time for a post that is not so silly. Although, I love being absolutely crazy, I think that this is necessary. I need to open up a bit, even if you- whoever you are- could care less about who I am. Let's call this: Getting to Know the Author.

It may seem vain and frankly, even a little stupid. But look at it like this: people generally like to know about other people. Let's face it- we are all a bit curious. We want to know what other people think, do, like, dislike, etc. Once we know get to know each other a bit, we realize we have some similarities: each person has a characteristic that you or I can to relate to, and we like relating to each other. It makes us feel connected. We're not alone.

That's what I'm going to do! I'll outline a picture of who I am for you. I saw that a bunch of other bloggers did this, so I thought, what the heck! Why not? Give me a shout out if you connect with me on any of things I'm about to type.

Facts about Yours Truly:

I need to have some kind of chocolate everyday. It doesn't matter if it's a liquid, solid, or a gas. I never realized until recently that I can't go a day without chocolate....sick, isn't it?
I have an obsession with not closing things. I don't close cabinets or drawers. This can be connected to the fact that I have an irrational fear of loud noises...I don't know, really. I hate closing things. It drives my parents nuts.
Since I'm on the subject of loud noises...I am a globophobic. (that is, I fear balloons.) I'm am not being funny.
I have a secret crush on Ben Folds.
I have a dream of becoming a world renown writer.
I swear in privacy. Quite a bit, if the situation I'm in provokes me to. I'll just say this: I'm human.
At my school, I'm a quiet person with absolutely no personality. Yep. Outside of school, I AM NOT. It's that stupid school. I hate it so much. It steals who I am away from me. Shame that people won't get to know the real me. This is why I can't wait to break away from that school. I feel like I'm living under the shadows of the other students. Can't wait to be free.
When Bruno Mars sings, I close my eyes and pretend he's singing to me.
Many times, I look in the mirror and imitate Donald Trump. "You're fired!"
I make distorted faces at people who I don't like while walking behind them. Occasionally, I do this in front of the security cameras at my school.
I am a dictionary.com/thesaraus.com addict.
I am a walking contradiction. I want to scuba-dive, but one of my biggest fears is drowning. I hate cold weather, but I love snow. I can only find things in my room when things are not organized. This is a proven FACT.
I am a nerd. And I am proud.
I hope that one of the following will happen: my parents will give me up for adoption and I will be adopted by J.K. Rowling OR when I become an author, J.K. and I will become very close friends (I'd visit her every so often for tea in her England estate).
I will not clean my room until it gets to the point where living in it is quite difficult.
I am a procrastinator. Right now, I'm procrastinating.
At one point in my life, I felt like I had no real friends. I didn't even have a best friend. I feel horribly about this now, because I've always had friends. AND I HAVE THE BESTEST FRIEND EVER! =) I think many people have felt that way at some point, though.
I am addicted to green tea.
Sometimes, I wish I was Asian.
I've wished on eyelashes, and looking back on those wishes, I thank God that none of them came true. For example, I wanted to marry Cole Sprouse when I was in the 6th grade.
When people don't listen to what I'm saying I keep talking anyway, and sometimes I even comment on what I say.
Which brings me to my habit of talking to myself.
I purposefully dislike YouTube videos that have comments that say "152 don't know good music" just to throw the off number.
I hope that when I graduate, my teachers will come across this blog and wonder if some of the posts are about them. I hope they never read it while I'm still in school...yet sometimes I do.
I imagine myself doing things I'll never do. For instance, in my biology class freshman year I sat next to the projector. That meant my job was to push the little button to turn it on when my teacher needed to use it. Multiple times I've imagined myself just hurling the projector at the whiteboard instead. I've always wondered how people would react. Other times, I've imagined myself jumping out of my desk and announcing, "SCREW THIS, I'M GOING TO HOGWARTS." Or in other daydreams, I just walk out of the school and lay on the grassy hill.
I have a theory that my friend's dad is a secret agent.
I promised myself that if I go to college in NYC, I will date a ballet dancer from Juilliard or the New York Ballet.
I wake up early just so I can watch Avatar: The Last Airbender.
I pretend that I am dumber than I am. I don't know why I do, but I do. I am very intelligent though. I am erudite.
I'll stare at the back of somebody's head during class, and in my mind I'm saying something of the like, "Scratch your back, scratch your back, scratch your back..." or "Turn around, turn around, turn around..."over and over again to see if I can get them to. It hasn't worked. Yet.
Sometimes when I'm walking behind a guy whose pants are much too low, I am tempted to just pull them down and yell, "BELT."
I am writing a novel, and there is certain character that I absolutely love. In my school, there is a kid who looks exactly how I pictured this character...for months, all I did during class was stare at him in awe. The resemblance is uncanny.
When my brother is taking a shower, sometimes I make myself have to go to the bathroom so I can flush the toilet on him. I am aware that this is extremely evil.
My cat ran away a long time ago and, well, she never came back home. Sometimes...I still cry over it if I think about it long enough. It's stupid I know...but whatever. Stupid cat.
I put celebrities that I have crushes on in my contact list for my cell, and occasionally I pretend to text them.
I am fully aware that I am weird, and I've accepted it.
I make up awesome songs in the shower, but then forget them when I finish.
I have feigned illness several times to escape school. I was such a good pretender that I even fooled myself.
I yell at inanimate objects. Furiously at times.
When I'm home alone and I think I hear something or someone, I pretend to be a man who hunts and a ferocious guard dog. The dog's name is Brutus. "Et tu Brute?"
I hate chewing noises. It turns me into a monster. If it's quiet, and you're chewing near me, I will be peeved at you for the whole time.
My favorite movies are Tangled and Aladdin if you haven't noticed.
If I had to live on only a few foods for the rest of my life it would be Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Dominos pizzas.
I am a vegetarian. Yay, veggies.
My favorite color is blue. It's been my favorite color since I was 4 years old. No joke.
I laugh randomly during class, mostly because a Spongebob Squarepants episode pops into my head.
I call myself Gwen the Super Hero, because years ago I wished I was StarFire from Teen Titans.
I can say the alphabet backwards without making any mistakes.
I swear my life is a living Jane Austen novel.
The theme songs to my life are: "Drops of Jupiter" by Train and "Doo-wah-doo" by Kate Nash.
My guilty pleasure T.V. show is Sarah Palin's Alaska.
I wouldn't mind marrying Michael Buble if it means he'd sing to me for the rest of my life. Love doesn't have an age!! Except for Aaron Johnson and his wifey-poo.
I went through a stage where I believed I'd be gothic. My only comment: HAHA.
I once made this epic fort in my closet, complete with a DVD player and a couch-ish pillow. That was only three years ago.
I'm an awkward person. But I've accepted this as well. I'd rather be honestly awkward than a fake.
Right now, I'm listening to Five Years Time by Noah and the Whale.
If I could be any Disney character, I'd be Repunzel from the movie Tangled.
I fear the sight of blood, guts- the inside of the human body in general.
When I'm not writing, I usually feel sad.
RIght now, I'm happy.
If I get a bad grade on an essay, I convince myself that my teacher doesn't know anything about writing. I realize that this is stupid. Usually, I look back and see that I'm the one who doesn't know anything about writing, and I'll be depressed for the rest of the day.
To be honest, I don't have the closest relationship with my brother. One memory that stands out as a true 'bonding' moment, was when I was watching "Camp Rock" on Disney channel and he stopped by and started watching it with me. At the end, we were both disappointed that Mitchie and Shane didn't kiss.
I laugh when my parents yell at me. It noramally results in more yelling...
When I was little, I was afraid that everyone was a robot and I was the only human. Sometimes, I still wonder this....
I prefer imagination over reality.
I just realized that this could lead to schizophrenia....well, let's hope that never happens. Or perhaps schizos have more fun than the rest of us.
I hope to live in NYC for some time.
I want to own a horse one day. A white one. I'd name him Jonah.
I recently took a very long break from this blog to Google Spongebob quotes.
"Secretly...I'm a little naive."
Don't think that all I do is watch cartoons. I don't.
Ironically, I love the song "99 Red Balloons."
I tried learning Japanese once.
I believe that blogging is essential for my health.
I began blogging after I read a funny blog on Sparknotes. He blogged about Twilight.
The song "The Dog Days Are Over" empowers me....it instantly connects me with the world, and I feel vivacious and adventurous. It makes me want to travel the world.
The first CD I ever owned was a Backstreet Boys CD.
I enjoy listening to Taylor Swift the most when I write because she's so honest in her lyric writing, and I want to convey that same sense of honesty.
Once, my friend and I were leaving school, and this egotistical, obnoxious kid got in our way purposefully. We waited forever to let him pass, but he wouldn't move. Instead of turning the car around, my friend stepped on the gas and almost ran over him. We didn't, but secretly I was hoping she would...just a little nudge would do him justice.
My favorite T.V. show is Gilmore Girls.
I welcome germs. They are a part of life. If something happens to drop on floor I'll eat it. I don't care.
I hate Kindles!!! And Kobos, and Sony Readers and all the other digital gadgets that are trying to take books away from the world forever.
I can't cook, mostly because I'm lazy. I prefer microwaving things and using the toaster oven.
I believe that people abuse their right to chew gum.
If I could destory one material object in the world it would be tights. Tights are the worst thing ever. I had to wear them for 7 years for my ballet class.
I think the whole world should go barefoot. I love wearing no socks. I go outside in the cold, rain, sunshine, and even snow with bare feet. It makes me feel free!
I don't believe in colored contacts or face surgeries (unless necessary). People need to learn how to appreciate the way God created them.
I'm generally a very optimistic person.
I'm independent. I enjoy alone time, when no one can bother me.
I lived in Juilliard College for two weeks once. =)
The most I've ever been scared was when I watched the "Exorcism of Emily Rose." We had to watch it in Film class. I thought I was a baby until I found out that my whole class couldn't sleep for days either.
I love to read. I read a ton of Nancy Drew books when I was little. I love Pride and Prejudice, and Shakespearean literature. I'm working on Lord of the Rings, but it's taking me forever (that man likes detail!), and I'm chomping down on Hacking Harvard - a modern novel. The worst novel I've read is Robinson Crusoe. As you know, or don't, I love Harry Potter. I love The Princess Bride.
I want to start knitting.
I'm bad at keeping in touch with people, which makes me feel sorry. *sigh*
I absolutely hate it when people tell me what to do.
I've secretly wanted to be a rock singer in a band, but I lack the ability!
I want to learn how to surf or at least try it.
I think the majority of people take life too seriously. I do at times...but I mean, what's the point? Enjoy life, don't let opportunities pass you. Don't worry so much about fleeting things. It's life. We all go throught it. Carpe diem, people. I wish I would follow this advice all the time.
I hope several years from now, people will look back on this blog and say, "So this is how she started..."
Well you either skipped to this point or you took the time to read my thoughts. I'll leave you with this:

Pure as a puddle

murky and opaque

Simple as a stocking

threads so intricately weaved

Dull like a double-edge sword

sharp and skillfully created

We the people

so beautifully designed.

I like poetry! This is one I just made up and it's kind of lame, but I'm leaving it here for all the world to see.
