Happy Holidays!!

Hey everyone out there! I don't know if I'll be able to catch you on Christmas Day, so I'm wishing you happy holidays ahead of time! I hope you all have a good holiday, and spend your time wisely! TO ALL TEENS OUT THERE: Remember go get your parents something special. It doesn't have to be expensive or big, just from the heart, or something that they need.. really badly. :P
Another thing, remember this is a time for giving, maybe go out and volunteer. Oh I almost forgot! Don't waste your day sitting inside! We only have a limited amount of time for our break! Go out and hang out with your friends at the mall, or do a craft. Be creative, so that when school comes around the corner you won't mope, about how your Break was boring and that you dread going back to school. Be in good spirits and hope for SNOW!
Have a Happy Holiday!

Twilight Movie

Everyone seems to be raving about the new movie coming out, Twilight. For most of my friends, though, the only reason why they are going to go see it is because they want to go criticize it.
I personally get very attached to books that I read, and love. Since reading the Twilight Saga, I have come to love everyone of the characters and love the whole plot of the story. By becoming so attached to them I have come to realize that the movie is just going to disappoint me. There are so many things in recent movies, that I have seen, that aren't even in the books that I've read. For instance, there is no part in the book where Edward and Bella are in the woods and say "Say it." Then Bella replies with, "Vampire." No way! She doesn't say that out loud! She figures it when Jacob tells her the story about 'The Cold Ones'. I've read Twilight, lets say about seven times, and I haven't gotten bored of it. But just seeing the trailers for the movie, I can't even watch that!
They make everything seem so normal, when it isn't! This is supposed to be an enchanting and captivating story of Bella and Edward. I just feel that once they made it a reality, by making the book a movie, they ruined the magic. Especially for me. I've set my mind on it, I'm not going to see it, not even going to watch it to criticize it. That would just break my heart.

The Vault of Secrets

Since school has started a lot of people are seeing other people, mainly guys, in a new light. My friends are forming crushes and making names for them. I'll name a few; there's Reeses, for my guy, Soda or Soda Pop, Sushi, Popcorn, Bone, Sprite.. and some others that I keep forgetting. But since they are starting to like these people, I have to keep a lot of secrets for them. I think I know a lot, but other people don't know that I know, because I'm officially now 'The Vault of Secrets' and I'll never be opened, never. Not even if the people say that I can tell someone. Because if they say "Oh, it's ok, you can tell them."I'll just reply, "Why don't you tell them yourself?" Because mainly, a lot of people don't know that I know, and if they read this and now think I know, I might not know. I only know things if people want to tell someone, without anyone else knowing.

Confusing right? Well how do you think it is for me? It's not that hard to keep secrets, but I like to tell things to people too, and so it kind of gets frustrating to know all these things, and have to keep them a secret for other people. But I do my best, and I'm 'The Vault of Secrets'. I'm definitely not complaining, because I like to know what's going on and how my friends are feeling. I give them advice and they don't seem to mind that I know. I won't tease them all the time about it, so I'm there for them if they want to tell someone and get it off their chest.

So if you have a secret, you know you can come to me. I am reliable.

What Have You Been Up To?

Wow, its been a really long time since I last posted anything, at all. I'm sorry to keep you all hanging, but life, and school have just been going along pretty smoothly. I see my friends a lot and I try to hang out with them outside of school as much as I can.
Nothing really new going on, but I seem to have found a pretty nice guy. Most of my friends don't know why I like him, but they're all friends with him. So, they don't see the attraction. I went to camp with him for the past 2 years, but never really liked him 'til this year. I think that was mainly because I was infatuated with an 8th grader last year. *Sigh* What was I thinking? Most of my friends ask me that, and they still do. But don't worry they don't always get off so easily either. I tease them just as much as they tease me, and I have backup plans. :)

Her First Idea

Stephenie Meyer had many ideas for the covers of her books. One of them was good, but I'm sorry to say, the rest were bad. I'm glad they kept the covers that the books have today. This is the cover that I wish she could have kept. Here's the cover of what would have been The Host.

Oh, him.

I just recently got a comment that asked about Colin. You may have read about him in the early posts, if not, too bad, I'm not going to sum it all up anymore. I'm not sure when this happened, but one of my friends asked him out for me. He said "No" as sincerely as he could without hurting my feelings. Of course everyone knows rejection hurts, so I was a little bit hurt. But now that its summer time, I don't feel like I like him as much. Maybe that's because I haven't seen him in a long time, or maybe it was just a huge crush. I always make it a big deal, I should probably rethink these things.

I haven't really told anyone else this, not even my bff, Stella. She'll probably get mad at me. So the thing is.. there is this really nice C.I.T. (Counselor In Training) .. and he's a guy. I'm probably not going to discuss the details today, or ever. But I know Stella will batter it out of me soon or a later. But she'll only know about him, if she sees this post. I'm not going to tell her in person. I'm such a coward! Hopefully the picture of the cute puppy, with her puppy eyes, won't make you want to hurt me as much!

The Count down

There are a lot of people out in this big world of ours that loves the Twilight Saga. Or series. I, am one of those people. I just recently gave my friend, Stella, the book Twilight to read. I hope she enjoys it, because then we would be able to talk about it, forever and ever. She's not one for books, but I hope this one strikes her interest. I absolutely love these books! I can't thank Stephenie Meyer enough for coming up with this idea!

I absolutely can't wait for the release of Breaking Dawn! My friend, Alex, and I are going crazy over this! I think it might even be a bigger turn out than the 7th Harry Potter book! If that's possible! I'm trying to add a countdown element to my page, so that you can all see when the book is coming out, but I can't seem to figure out how. I'm up for suggestions!

Stupid in School

Everyone you need to check out this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JRuhWuuor4 this is so hilarious! I have some subtitles to go with it!

So after you read it look at these subtitles and watch the video again. You really don't need to pay attention to the actual scenes that are going on, its just some clips about Kingdom Hearts, just listen to the guys voice. His names Brian Regan and he's a comedian.

Here they are...

The SUN. The big yellow one's the SUN.

Is summer really all that fun??

Well, summer is here and I have nothing to do. Sure I might be doing a couple of camps here and there but what is so fun about summer when you're stuck at home!? Many people say they are going to hang out with their friends but how many of those people actually do hang out with their friends 24/7? No one. Thats right, you may go over someone's house for a few days in a row but then you've got nothing to do. You soon resort to video games, then those get boring. Or if they don't get boring, you've done every single thing in the game and its not fun anymore. So you decide to get a new game! How many of you have done that before? I know I have and now I think I'm resorting to that again... So many teens have nothing to do, I wish there was just an all summer camp of hanging out with your friends, or going to another country.. without it actually having to be a camp with adults around! Oh to be free!!!!!! What happened to our independence. Now it's just people texting and chatting on cell phones to each other. Then you've got nothing to talk about. You start making something up to ease the silence a little. Does that really work? Nope, you just end up saying "Well I gotta go, my mom wants me to do ....blah blah blah..." and you hang up. The next time you talk to try to ask if you can go over someone's house.. how weird is that.. trying to invite yourself over! I know I'm guilty of that but when it comes down to when you're really bored it helps to try to invite yourself over. Then you can at least be bored with your friend and have an awkward silence with them. So now, how many of you can say that you like summer?? I DO! You always have your family, friends... and even though it gets boring.. you have to remember that you're not in SCHOOL!

Inside Edition

Somehow, right now I feel the need to confide in this here blog. Although in reality I'm probably the only one reading it, so really I'm pretty much talking to myself, I want to just let go of somethings.
School's been fine, classes are boring like usual, and Band is getting harder, since we are getting closer to the Beginning Band Festival. Only a couple weeks away. I usually stay home, and try to talk to people on google talk, but it doesn't seem to work since everyone's busy. I'm playing tennis, which is so fun. Although I'm the oldest there, I love talking and playing some games with a 6th grader, who is going to my Middle School next year, and a 4th grader, who is probably gonna get the 3 of us into trouble. But, hey even we can get away with it. Just making fun of the teachers, and really they're having fun too, so no harm done.
That's basicaly all the things that have been in my mind this past year, but something else has crept up in there.

A BOY

Now you have to know this, he's not the average boy, he's a Eighth grader, a whole grade higher than me. Now usually I go for the guys that are in my grade, and sometimes I am older than them, but they are crushes, so it really doesn't go anywhere. But this guy, Colin, is in my Gym class so, yay for me! I know this sounds really girlish, but hey I'm a girl too! But whenever I go into Gym I look for him, that's why I like to get in there early, plus I don't like to be late. Usually in the Gym we have out spots, and did I mention he is super hot! I usually don't use that term, but for him it is so necessary. Anyway, over the past, I want to say 2 weeks, or so I keep getting this feeling like I'm being watched. We're in close approximately to each other so I can look at him too! LOL. But sometimes when I look at him when I'm feeling watched, I can just see his eyes avert to somewhere else! Now I don't know if he's looking past me, but there is nothing behind me, or if he's been looking at me. Kind of during this "watching period" I went to a Swim meet, where he was competing. And he went by the bleachers twice and every time he went past where I was on the bleachers I wasn't necessarily watching him but I kind of felt that maybe he was looking at me for a bit when we went by.

Some of my friends just think that he was looking around the bleachers and just looked at me to say to himself Hey she's in my Gym class but I'm not sure.
Then there was last week when we were in a line to play Kick ball, and we had to go; boy, girl, boy, girl. There were a couple girls in front of me and then there was Colin. And he asks me to come in front of him. So I went in front of him and had my turn, then when we were up there again to kick, he asked me to come in front of him again. Of course by this time I was kind of flustered, but at the same time I was annoyed so I said to him "I have a name." Because before that he just said and pointed to me "Hey, can you come up here in front of me." And I wanted him to stop saying that and just say my name, so he could call me by my name. So I told him what my name was, and he replied "Oh, ok, you can come in front of me." I said thanks and that was basically the end of Gym class. I felt like I made an impression. :)
Then there was last Tuesday, the 18th. That was a very nerve-racking day. It was the beginning of Gym class, I have Gym 1st period, so the bell hadn't rung yet. My Gym teacher had the Volleyball nets up, and I went to sit down by the pole. I had my back to the pole where the net was stationed and I had my legs straight out and crossed. I was sitting there for maybe a minute, and there were only about 4 other people in the gym besides me who were racing on the other side, so I was by myself sitting there. Then Colin came into Gym. The next part of this is not a lie, this really happened. I saw Colin come into the gym (like I always look for him) and he started walking straight towards me. His spot in the Gym for attendance was kind of in front and to the left of me so I thought he was going to put his sweatshirt there, like he usually does. But no, he kept on walking towards me. Right now when I think about it, I am so glad I didn't freak out. Of course I was saying to myself, "OH MY GOSH!" but I didn't move I just watched him come closer, kind of like you would naturally do to someone who was coming your way. So then he comes up to me and he stops by my feet. I'm looking at him and he then gently taps my foot and then looks at me. I have no idea why he did that, and it was kind of hard to say something, so I might have said something like this "Why did you, what" something like that, and I have a question mark on my face, of course trying not to freak out. And he says "Sorry" like a fake sorry. Kind of like whenever you poke your friend and you say sorry when you both know your kidding. Except I didn't know what to do in this situation, so I said "yeah, uhuh right." Still a puzzled look on my face, trying not to explode. Then he turns around and walks towards his friends who just came into the gym. At that point I was happy, and trying to make out what that was about. That might have been a signal to say that he might "possibly" have a crush on me. A 7th grader. But I don't know, but I hope it was. All of that was the truth, none of it fiction.
That was my best moment ever in Gym! And now I just try to catch his eye in Gym to try to signal to him that I like him. But just a hint, if he hasn't gotten it already. But I do, really want to let him know that I like him, without telling him myself. I think.

Catch Up

It has been a long time since I last updated this blog. But today I finally did so. Even though it was only a few minor changes, I hope that this will be a new start to updating my blog. At least, once a week. Nothing new has happened to me in the months that I haven't posted anything. I think I sent Alan Alda's letter to the wrong address, which is probably why I didn't get an autograph. Or it could be that Alan Alda isn't giving out any more autographs. (Which I hope isn't the case)
Other than that, I had a wonderful Winter Break, and a fantastic Spring Break. It's amazing how time flies when you're not paying attention. Or writing a blog. School's going fine, home is fine. Animals are fine. Didn't think I mentioned that I had three dogs and cats, but I do. They're all miniature Dachshunds, except for my cats, they're regular cats. LOL.
I'm still watching M*A*S*H like I have been. It still makes me laugh and smile, like I've just watched it for the first time. The only real way I could explain how I feel when watching M*A*S*H, is how my friend, Stella, feels about General Hospital when she watches it with her mom. So whenever you watch your favorite movie, play, or TV show think about why you like it or what makes it hang on to you so that you have to watch it again. That's how I feel every time I watch M*A*S*H. Yup every single time I watch it, day after day, and it could be the same episode, but I still love it.
