going boldly where no man has gone before

FOUND IT!!

haha! take that, society!...I'm still buying it when it comes out on DVD though.

I just cried because my tissue box fell over. I think we all know what time of the month it is.

MY LIFE IS AVERAGE

Today, my dad was showing our apartment to some friends. He opened my sister's room while she was wearing a face mask with her messy hair and said "Here is where we keep our ugly child slave which will make dinner for us later right?" and without skipping a beat my sister answered "Yes master" with a raspy voice and walked away limping. Seeing the faces of the guest made me love my family even more. MLIA

Today, we were watching a video about properties of minerals and rocks in science class. When it told us about the rock's cleavage ( a kind of property), the video instructed us to "examine this cleavage very closely". At that precise moment, a hot girl returned from the bathroom, wearing a very open v-neck. The expression on her face when one of the quietest kids in the class said "Oh, believe me, I will" made my life. MLIA

Today, I decided to check out the google vs. yahoo battle. I expected it to be average. When typing in "how come", yahoo said "how come sugar fizzes in boiling water?" Google said "how come I'm developing breasts if I'm a guy?" I'm glad Google dares to ask those unanswerable questions. MLIA.

Yesterday I went shopping and found greeting cards in Value Packs of 10. My favorite was 'Happy Valentine's Day to my Dear Wife.' I'm still wondering who would need a ten pack of those. MLIA

As one of my friends was looking through my purse while on the school bus, she found a bunch of weird stuff like a bib from burger king, a pack of ramen, etc. Everyone then started to ridicule me and my strange purse. The girl sitting next to me quietly tapped me on the shoulder, then pulled something out of her bag. It was a potato. MLIA.

love this website.

I never actually posted pictures from my L.A. trip... so here they are!

Please don't cry over him, he isn't worth your pain, cause cheaters never win, no, cheaters lose the game

Friends and I made plans to see Inglorious Basterds tomorrow. Since its rated R and we're not yet 17, we're buying tickets for Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.

we are so badass.

Today I recorded song #2. A couple of days ago, I recorded The Game (acoustic) and today I recorded one I wrote a couple of years ago, Alone (on the piano)

I have yet to do my homework. or study.

Today, I took a math test. People normally raise their hands to ask a question about the test. I raised my hand because I couldn't open my water bottle and I was thirsty. My teacher was able to do it, but it took a lot of strength. It was one tight water bottle.

I need to go study.

What if...

what if the ground was the sky and the sky was the ground? Would we all fly to the sun?

Or would we just float?

Here I am with all the pleasures of the first world layed out for me, who am I to break down?

omg you guyyyss!! Happy Heroes day! I have to go to monday night choir from 7 to 9 (fml) but I'm DVRing it so I can watch it right after I get home.

I'm soooooo excited!

just a passing thought

You know what's funny? The only thing I know how to say in spanish is "Ay, dios mio! La policia!" (oh my god! the police!)

I'm confident that this one phrase will come in handy if I ever decided to travel to spain.

seven layers

Today, I had seven layer cake. There were only six layers. I may have to file a complaint.

Just got home from my cousins house. fun times, fun times.

I also made a youtube video! My very first singing/guitar vid. I don't know how to play the guitar, but I can do some chords, so thats what I did. while singing. yaaay!

Two days till heroes!! Well, until I DVR it and then have to watch it AFTER monday night choir. ughhhh! I'm gonna get back at nine, and then watch it till 11 (almost)? and then have to get ready for bed. how will I fit in my nightly facebook/9th/blog/twitter/tumblr ritual? My parents are not going to be ok with that. Know what I think? I think it's MY responsibility to go to sleep when I so choose and wake up in the morning. If I go to bed late, and then I'm tired the next day, it's MY own fault and I'll learn a lesson. If they don't let me stay up past 11:30, I'll never learn my lesson. I'm SIXTEEN, I should be able to choose my own bedtime, right?

Speaking of (well, you know, teenage freedom issues), I rode my bike to trailview the other day. It's like, this nature path that nobody really goes to unless they're like, jogging or whatever. And it's in the next town over because my town has no nature. It's just flat and bland. Anyway, I went because I just needed to get away from everything (pshh, like there's ANYTHING going on in my life right now... although that might be the underlaying problem. I may have to look into that) and I figured the woods would be the perfect sanctuary. And it was. I was so happy and serene after. Plus, getting there and getting back took a long time, so I ended up bike riding for two hours. Riding for a long time = exercise = calories burned!! So I come home, and like two minutes later my mom comes home from work while I'm making a salad. I told her I went to trailview (mistake.) and she was like "ummm... really? umm" so then when my dad came home my mom's like "Tell Daddy where you rode today" and I'm like "Umm... trailview?" and he got all mad and said I could be hurt, so then I'm like "It's alright- I have my phone!" and then he's like "someone could kidnap you!" and I'm like "I'm on a bike. That would be rather hard to do" (What was I thinking? "Well, It would be a good story to tell at thanksgiving!"). So now I'm not allowed to go to trailview. I mean, I WOULD go anyway, but ehh I'm not a liar. I don't do that. So now I have to find a NEW tranquil place. Trailview, you were good while you lasted!

One of my friends has a problem. She thinks this guy might like her, because he's showing the signs and he gets jealous whenever she talks to other guys. Anyway, she wants to know what to do and I said I'd help her. So I need to think of some way to test it and then get him to admit it without her saying "admit it, you like me. now ask me out" and putting her in a veunerable position.

You know how people are like, "my friend" this and "my friend" that, but by "my friend" they actually mean themselves? well this is not the case here. It's actually my friend. These things don't happen to me, unfortunately. I think this problem, MY problem, is a little bigger. *sigh*

Ick.

Anyway, I gave my friend some advice (those who can't do teach, right?). Look at the whole situation through rose colored glasses. It's only high school- in life, are you really going to remember every bit of petty drama (or in my case, lack thereof)? Jessica Alba had no friends in high school and boys didn't like her, and NOW look at her! (except I have friends. and I DID have a boyfriend for like, a week but he was an immature idiot who didn't know how to have a girlfriend. and before that was a guy who was waaay too clingy and obsessive, which was weird. But they don't count.)

I'm going to end this post on a high note by saying I'm absolutely obsessed with the song Major Tom by Peter Schilling. I might arrange it for accapella. OOH and I have my first Rolling Tones rehearsal tomorrow! I'm exciteeeddddd!

tell me what you got to break down the walls

I had a really cute outfit on today, but I ended up changing to go to the gym before i had a chance to take a picture of it. oh well.

It's much too quiet in here, I wanna disappear, I'm hearing myself thinking too clear

Demitria Lovato- you are the most talented singer of our generation. You are absolutely gorgeous and have an amazing voice. I get chills when you sing that one part in "got dynamite" when its really quiet and then you belt. I play your songs on repeat every day. They're all so beautiful and meaningful and have a lot of feeling behind them. Your style is impeccable, and I wish I had clothes like you because I always love what you wear. You are my roll model.

just had to get it off my chest.

Knew where I was going when you left the room, you're the kind of guy that makes me want to follow through

finally an outfit post! I've seriously been wearing the cutest outfits lately and just not bothering to take pictures! Its ok- I'll probably end up wearing them again (I'll admit it- i'm a repeater) so I'll take picture then.

See that sweatery thing? I got that in manhattan. $12.50. can't do better than that!

See that shirt? American Apparel- but I got it at century 21 for $11

See those boots? Kitson (in L.A.) originally $175, I got them for $65. amaaaazing =]

See that iphone? Demi Lovato is on it. Because I'm a huge fan. I'm considering making a collage.

we all long to belong, we all need to be needed

guess what? there's a week till heroes!

... just had to get it off my chest.

MLIA

Today, I had a MLIA moment. Me and amanda were talking about MLIA and how people shout random spells at each other. Then she yelled "Avada Kedavra!" and I fell on the floor. Her chem teacher turned around and was like, "Oh my god are you okay?" and I'm like, "yeah, yeah I just tripped!"

After she walked away, we could NOT contain our laughter.

as I'm walking in the rain, tears are falling and I feel the pain

Today it rained.

when I was little and it rained, we couldn't go out for recess so we had to stay in the cafateria. I would bring a furbie coloring book and color after lunch.

Today I was so yawny and tired. I snuggled up in my new American Apparel sweatshirt (they're so cuddly when they're new- they're like a blanket with sleeves and a zipper that goes with things) so I was cozy throughout the day in school.

I love when it rains and it tints the whole world grey. Its beautiful =]

After school, I took a hot shower and then cuddled up in pajamas.

Here's a serious one...

Today was my first full day of junior year. My classes are good, but the one I'm most looking forward to is Media Production. It's film making!

Last year I was so set on becoming an actress. However, it was just one of those things that I was kind of embarrassed to tell a lot of people (including my parents). One of my friends wants to start her own law firm, and another wants to be someone in the UN, and I'm just like, "I want to be an actress and then marry Zachary Quinto". You know?

So anyway, RENT, the school musical was starting, and with it, a new idea took root. Everyone's seen those documentaries on like, high schools or whatever getting ready to put on a play. Those films, however, are always about the main cast. The leads. What about the chorus? Where are the ensemble in all this? I decided to show what REALLY goes on behind the scenes.

Which is basically nothing. Which was the point.

If I could be in a doc. with all my friends, I could get a lot of screen time. meaning I could learn to be comfortable in front of the camera.

After a while, I stopped being interested in entertaining the camera and started thinking about the camera itself. What if I sat two people in the lounge opposite eachother at the table, and use the camera and zooming and angles to make it intense. Only, the conversation would be about nothing. For example:

[morgan and ben are both shown at the table]

[focus on morgan over ben's shoulder] Morgan: Did you do your french homework yet?

[cut to ben, camera over morgan's shoulder] Ben: no, why?

[close up on morgan] morgan: I was hoping you can help me.

[cut to ben and start slowly zooming in] ben: maybe we can do it together after I finish global

[zoom out and up, filming from overhead but back farther] morgan: ok. sounds good.

[fade out]

Also, I was thinking about a west wing shot. You know, a shot where the characters are walking and the camera moves with them? They could be walking quickly and talking, but talking about nothing. Since all of the shots would be so dramatic, but the dialog so empty, It would be funny.

When I started filming the random shenanigans that went on backstage, I was more interested in making sure the shot looked good then looking good in the shot. When I went home, I would spend hours editing and cutting the film, trying new techniques (using crappy microsoft moviemaker) and time would pass by and it didn't even feel like it was passing.

That's when I realized I wanted to be a director.

I was thinking about the whole thing last night and decided that I had to write it down, so that if I'm a successful director someday, and I'm asked "when did you decide you wanted to direct", I'd be able to remember exactly.

when she came into the picture you were always with her

I've been home a while

this post is kind of late.

for the past three days I've been wearing really cute outfits but I never took pictures of them. C'est la vie!

alright. I have nothing to say.
