Oh, Shut Up
Not trying to sound mean or anything in that title. Sorry.
You see, I got a knew YouTube account and this blog is logged in with my old one (which I don't use anymore) so coming on here means logging out of that one and I don't have to patience to make a knew blog, but I probably will maybe tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.
Well since I haven't blogged in....2months? Just about. I have A LOT to talk about. The last thing I posted was going to the Katy Perry concert....well all through July I went to 5 others. So that makes the concert count 6. Woo!
In mid July, I went to a leadership camp for band called FJM (Fred J. Miller). It was a new experience and a lot of fun. I was only there for a few days. My group (section leader [which I am now Section Leader of the Saxophone Section in band now :D]) learned drill and a new song and preformed it. One day we had a Full Band Scramble where we got to go to the different sections that were there (drum major, dance, flag, rifle, or twirling) and learn things from them. I successfully know how to crescendo, decrescendo, and que people in conducting. It's fun. Even though I'm not drum major, I conduct all the time; even in grocery stores and the mall.....My parents yell at me to stop XD
Other than that I went to 2 ConTour shows (my first), a WizardRock show (my first), and a Tim McGraw concert (also my first). All of them were a blast! I'm very excited that I went. Sadly, the COTTON shirt I had EVERYBODY sign and my friends and I decorated smeared the Sharpie a lot when it went through the was. The worst is the light blue....there's a lot of light blue....UPSETTING.
Um...This is all I have time for right now. I'm in a lot of pain with probably 6 rib heads out of place right now and typing hurts. After going to see Ian tomorrow, for the 3rd time this week, I will be feeling better and be sitting here with ice on my back. If I do make a new blog, I'll post a blog on here first and add a link to the new page. Night :/

California Dream?
So I actually just got back from the Katy Perry concert here in Pittsburgh, PA. It. Was. AMAZING! One word is not enough to categorize how awesome this concert was. It was silly, cute, weird, fun, hot, steamy, sparkly, awesome, amazing, and LOUD. I can still hear ringing in my ears and I was sitting in the top balcony. But still, top seats are awesome because you can still see. I sang (more like screamed) at the top of my lungs to every song since I am a die-hard Katy Perry fan. Now I don't really listen to the radio, but thanks to one of my best friends, I found Katy Perry and I have learned that Katy is just a 5yr old in a grown ups body with an awesome singing voice. People will probably be negative and say, "Oh, it was just an act." I don't believe it. I have honestly never seen anyone having so much fun on stage, not caring if she made a few mistakes here and there, because when she did, she laughed them off. What person in an act can do that on stage in front of approximately 10,000 people? I know I wouldn't. I would freak out. Katy just has so much fun and truly loves what she does that she has become a very inspiring person in my life. Not because she's famous, not because she has her life basically perfect, but because she found out what she was good at and loved in life and followed that path. So many people hate their jobs and what they do. The people to look up to are the people who enjoy their lives, their jobs, and what they do. Not many people can say that and the people that go out and preform to people usually care about how great it was to have a sold out concert "mmm money" but the people who go and preform because they want to and truly enjoy it....they're the greatest. No one in the crowd can possibly understand the joy of that. I certainly don't, but if we all take the path that we enjoy and can achieve in at the same time, where is there room for greed or misery?
I just thought I'd share that with you. Since it's 1:30am, I'll post something about the actual concert later :)
PS: I'm adding a new "category" at the bottom of how many concerts I attend a year.

Long Time Since...
Wow. Hi! It's been almost a month since I've blogged! I have been kinda busy though. My birthday was the 23rd of May. I had my best friend I've only met twice before over with all of the rest of my friends. It was a blast. I'm so happy I actually got to hang out with Alora. I can't wait until I get to go over her house and meet some of her friends I text.
On Memorial Day, I had to march in Brentwood's parade in the morning. It was pretty boring. I wanted to go and hang out with friends since it was so nice out, but obviously everyone had plans. So instead I decided to bike almost 7 miles to go to Caribou Coffee in Town Square. Brentwood isn't even that big. The problem is that instead of going up a gazillion and a half hills, I decided to go around so I would have an easier time biking, which I did.
School ended Tuesday, June 7th. I did very good on my finals and in my classes in general. I got straight As and 1 C (English: worst subject). But hey, I'm not complaining.
I went to my friend's birthday party as well. It was a total blast. Definitely danced my ass off that night :)
In our softball games I've been having, I completely ripped a whole in my knee. Last game I even got road rash. My left leg looks like I fell off of a motorcycle. It's beautiful. I did a good job :) [btw, that slide that caused that whole got me a triple and we ended up winning the game. WORTH IT!]
Oh! The last day of school was also Graduation. Of course I cried. My best friend (brother's ex, big sister, etc we're close) graduated. I was super depressed afterwards. But I'm not getting into that. This is a blog to catch up and no sadness.
Since Wednesday, even though school has ended, I've still been getting up to go to school at 8am. Why? I'm a Band Geek. I'm going through Leadership Training so I can be section leader. Thankfully, I'm the only one trying out for my section :) Even though I detest getting up early, I'd have to say that this is worth it. I love band so much. This year, I get to go to 3 camps that involve band; FJM at Pitt Greensburg Campus (where previous away band camp has been held), home band camp, then right after that away band camp at Washington and Jefferson College Campus. I am so excited. Especially for FJM. Livie has told me so much about it last year when she went and it sounds like a blast. I can't wait to meet new friends and learn so much from going there.
That's the news happening :) Glad to blog and catch up!

Mini May Wrap Up
Well it's like halfway though May, so I figured I should inform you on all of my fun adventures I've had so far this month :D
In school, we had to take these new tests called the Keystone Exams. In short, it was horrible. The 1st portion we took on Monday was literature. All we had to do was read a story, fill in bubbles, and analyze. That day was easy, but when we took the Algebra 2 portion, it was ridiculous. Now I have a very high IQ and I'm in regular math, not honors. THE HONORS CLASS COULDN'T DO IT! It was so hard. We didn't even go over more than half of what was in the test so everyone just BSed the whole time. In the open ended, people would just draw pictures of random things. So I think this test deserves a ticket for the Fail Boat?
Wednesday also happened to be our concert band spring concert. Jazz Band played first (which was amazing! [thank you]) and then concert band. Concert band is boring. The music is so easy so I just brought my phone on stage and texted people during rests or song switches. But yeah, all good fun.
Thursday, my mom, dad, and I went to the eye doctors. Now I don't exactly understand the whole "20/20" vision thing, but I'm just gonna say that I found out that my vision is -3/-3. BAD. But good news! I GOT CONTACTS! Well we ordered them that day but I'll get to that.
Friday was fun! I got on a bus at 6:30am and left my school at 7am. To go where? GETTYSBURG AND HERSHEY!!!!!! My school had a school trip there so Ian (the great amazing person that he is) said that he'd pay for me to go. We started our day off on our 5 hour bus ride more than half way across the state of Pennsylvania. It wasn't the worst bus ride. I mean we did have a Coach USA bus and we just watched movies the whole time. I almost peed myself of joy when the only movie the bus had with it was Tangled. I still don't own a copy :( But the best movie we watched was the Hangover. I've seen it before, rated R, whatever you get the point. 35 kids (freshman and sophomore mix) watched the Hangover on a bus with the principal and 2 teachers. Explain that one?
Anyhow, when we got to Gettysburg, we went to this wax museum. Wax people creep me out. I always think they're just going to come to life and attack me. So my friends and I made a huge chain holding hands because we were all terrified. After the wax museum, we went to this other giant building to watch an omni max sort of thing. It was talking all about how brave all the men and women were when the fought against each other and they died. Morgan Freedman narrated.....I fell asleep. It's not my fault Morgan Freedman's voice is so soothing! Well, he put me asleep good. I started to dream. In my mini dream, I was reaching over to pet my dog, Max, because I thought that he was dead. The second before I touched him, he woke up and almost bit me with super sharp teeth. I freaked out and jumped really badly in my seat. it just so happens that at that same time I jumped, a canon went off on the omni max. That scared me even more. The people next to me thought it was the funniest thing ever....
After the omni max, we went to a dome of a painting that was done a few years after the war. There was some narration and everything and sound effects, but I wasn't paying attention. Everything was happening on the other side of me anyways. I was more marveling over how detailed this painting was and how the landscaping looked like it was part of the painting. It was hard to tell where the floor stopped and where the painting began!
When we were finally leaving, we picked up our tour guide. I have nothing against southern people, but I hate their accents for the life of me. And guess what? Our tour guide we had for 2 HOURS was from Georgia and his accent was STRONG. We visited a bunch of fun places like Little Round Top (stupid name), and um....graveyards.....and....the fields where they fought....and we kind of just looked at monuments the whole time. Finally, after the tour was over, we went to dinner and then to our hotel.
In the room I stayed in, it was Ali, Emily, and I. Our other friends we couldn't room with, Moose, V (Victoria), and Olivia, were a few rooms down so we just kept running back and forth to each other. V didn't want to stay in her room, so she stayed in my room for a long time :) We watched these hilarious YouTube videos. The best was McDonald's Exorcism: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4n2hpN6UjI This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Emily and V were reenacting it....I got the whole thing on my phone >:) I am so tempted to put it on YouTube....Later that night, we walked over to McDonald's to get some ice cream and milkshakes and just kept quoting the video. People were giving us strange looks. We also got free toys and beat each other with them.
Saturday morning, we had to get up bright and early to leave for Hershey. When we got there, we all went through the little (fake) factory tour. The used to make the chocolate there, but most of it is made in Mexico and the factory next to the park. We finally got to the park and split into our groups. Ali, Emily, Moose, V, Olivia, Jessica, and I went on 10 of the 11 roller coasters there and we just walked around laughing and having so much fun. I strongly recommend going to Hershey Park. It's crazy huge and it just smells like chocolate and the roller coasters are CRAZY! around 7pm, we headed home. Mostly everyone was sleeping, but I just stayed up and played Mario Kart and watched movies.
Sunday was a let's-just-try-and-recover day. We did do stuff for Mother's Day such as, go out to breakfast and go to Barnes & Noble, but we just went home and relaxed. That's all my mom wanted to do so we were good with that.
Monday, I missed the beginning of school to go to Ian's and get all my joints back in place. Tuesday, I missed the beginning of school as well to get my contacts! They were kind of a pain, but after almost a week, I finally got the hang of them. Wednesday was the beginning of Marching Band practice for the Memorial Day Parade we have. It was a very short one since Jazz Band played a gig that night at the Country Club. We played for an hour and went home :) I love being in Jazz Band.
(This is a loooooooooonnnnnnnnnnggggggggg blog post)
Friday was the Band Banquet. It's a thing where the seniors and whoever wants to go from the band gets together and the seniors share their remember when's and thank you's and they will things. I got willed a few things from Livie and my section leader, Lauren, (V and Olivia's older sister). Livie willed me: The ability to doodle and rename my music and The ability to fit my whole household into my Band Locker Long story). Lauren willed me: The saxophone section and the ability to be nice to this insanely annoying kid in our section I can't stand! It'll be difficult, but I'll try.
After the Band Banquet, Alex, Livie, and I went to Alex's house with his. They showed me this thing in his room that's like a laser light show but better. I was just so amazed by it. We probably sat in his room for a good half hour-45mins just staring at the lights. When they were finally able to drag me downstairs, we played some old school video games. We played Super Smash Bros. on the N64. That is definitely one of my favorite games ever. I finally went home at 11 and slept. That brings us to a lazy Saturday, and a lazy Sunday. I needed a break.

Good Bye
I know, I know. Don't yell at me. My last blog was bloody terrible (and I don't think it even counts) and I didn't blog yesterday. So I have a butt load of info to tell you about. (My apology about not blogging will be coming up shortly).
Let's start off with Thursday. Hm...It was pretty uneventful. In school, we had a short assembly about friendship and graduating school from an old Philadelphia Eagles Football player. Personally, it was a VERY good speech. Overall, I was bored out of my mind. Sitting in an auditorium listening to the same guy talk for an hour isn't exactly the most exciting thing to do. Now if he would throw candy at us, or have a water gun or something, it wouldn't have been so bad. (I say water gun because I was sitting in the back). I don't really remember what I did afterwards, but I know I didn't have time to go on the computer.
Friday: I got up at 3:50am to watch the Royal Wedding. I realize getting up that early was a mistake since the ceremony didn't starts until 6, but it was good. I thought her dress was stunning. Kate and her sister both looked so pretty. I'm disappointed in William though. When he had hair, he was so attractive. Now that he's balding like his dad, he's not all that great. I still loved the wedding though. It was beautiful. Nothing exciting happened in school Friday. When I got home, we almost instantly left for Ian's. We stopped at my aunt's house to pick up some food that we had for dinner. My aunt works as a lunch lady in a nearby school district and so she takes the leftovers home and gives some of them to us. These leftovers (school lunches...remember that) which was lasagna, made me absolutely sick. It was awful. I threw up the 3 mouthfuls I could stand. So, obviously, I turned in early. That's why I didn't blog. I was too busy throwing up. Now I'm pretty sure I'm getting your sympathy.
Today, I had softball pictures. They only took 10mins tops. When I came home, my dad and I left to go over my great aunt's house to cut her grass and fix up her yard a bit. I got 25$ out of that! WOO! Money!
we got back an hour ago, I just ate dinner, and soon I'm leaving again to go to the movies with Megan, Kim, and Char. We're going to see Beastly! I'm excited. This is gonna be a great movie. I figured while I had a little bit of time, I'd blog since it is the last day of BEDA. I'm leaving now. This has been fun guys! See you next time!

Late Night
Sadly, this is an extremely short post. I'll post about my dad today, tomorrow. Procrastination.
Wednesday, 27 April 2011
I really really don't want to blog today. I don't want to type. I just want to go read, but because of my dedication, I have to. Awesome. Brief overview time!
I woke up, I went to school, I had an alright day in school, Jazz Band was great as usual, all the other classes sucked as usual, I came home, I did homework, I'm on the computer. Yeas, I could go into a lot more detail, but I honestly don't care right now. I'm going to go and read right after I'm done fixing some music thing on my computer. I apologize that this is super short, but too bad. Deal with it.

Gear Up
I think it FINALLY hit me. Mostly because it's really hot and that means summer is rolling in, but still. I should have thought of this a while ago. I need to seriously get my ass in gear. Yeah, I do 2 sports and there's marching band, but that isn't enough. Everyone has some of that "popular girl mocking themselves" in them (even if you're not a girl) and we mock ourselves. We call ourselves names. We put ourselves down so much that it can push us to the edge. Sometimes the edge could be a good thing. The good edge can be called "The Wake Up Call." The bad edge can be called "Oblivion." Obviously, Oblivion is bad. We don't want to get there. My body (and mind) have, thankfully, hit The Wake Up Call. I realize I've needed this pretty badly. I used to be insanely skinny, like my friend, Moose, who's like a twig. Always has been. I sorta let myself go. I am admitting openly (without putting myself down) that I have gotten a bit chubby. I am going to admit, I don't like it. At all. Like I look in the mirror everyday, and there's the popular rotten girl. Let's call her The Joker (like batman). No one wants The Joker around because you're most likely going to die. So when The Joker is stuck in the glass room, She/He's ok, but still a danger to everyone with a conscience. Which is everyone. We need to shut out The Joker. The Joker is a cruel being inside of EVERYONE who, if truly gets to you, will push you to Oblivion. But, the person in your mind who saves you, let's call them Hero, brings you back up. Hero may bring you up with terrible realizations, but let's face it, honesty is much better than Oblivion. I, right now, am going to take a vow to go somewhere as often I can in the summer.
I remember I had so much motivation last year. I am upset to say that I know exactly why I had this motivation. It was a boyfriend. I wanted to be fit for him. I wanted to be skinny for him. I honestly used to workout in my room every night just to try and get muscle or stay skinny. I would walk halfway across my hometown just to go to his house. Now that he's out of my life (which i am kinda grateful for [douche]) I let myself go. I don't feel like I'm "eating my feelings" because of missing him or anything. I was actually the one who broke up with him. But I do realize, I have no motivation what so ever to go for a walk. To go to the park. to do anything really but sit here on my computer watching YouTube videos. I love YouTube, and so do many people, but I feel like it might be ruining my life. I need to cut back. I need to hang out with friends. I need to do something to get back in shape.
Let's face it, today is a realization day. At this, with this story and everything, think about your own life. Are you happy with who you are? I know I'm not satisfied, but I know what I have to do to adjust. So I'm gearing up for activities. I'm gearing up for life because let's face it, when I graduate high school, college (hopefully) will be the only thing on my mind. Sure, I'll make new friends, but I just hope that they'll keep me in line as well. Friends are your Coaches and/or Sidekicks. They can be a pain in the ass, but you know they'll always be there for you and they got your back.

HEAT STROKE
It's so hot over here in Pennsylvania....like almost 90 hot. The pool isn't open and I don't have any friends that have pools. I'm dying right now. I was outside for 3hrs or so with my friend, Shannon, walking her dogs with her, jumping on the trampoline (mostly sitting and talking, but whatever, we jumped), then going with her to meet her boyfriend, then walking home. Did I mention it's VERY hilly where I live? Did I mention it's hot!?
But anyways, it's the day after Easter, and guess what's for breakfast?! Pretzel M&Ms :) and Jellybeans. I LOVE Jellybeans. So I ate a handful of M&Ms and left. Not very healthy or filling, but I'm not complaining.
Did I mention it's hot?!
I don't know what I'm doing the rest of the day. I should be working on my homework my stupid teachers left us over the break, but let's face it, I procrastinate, so it'll be done around midnight or so whenever I fall asleep. I'm going to miss staying up til 3 or 4am and getting up around noon....Who cares? I have 6 and a half weeks of school left. I can't wait for summer! Did I mention it's hot? Especially in summer? But there's pools in the summer :D
Oh dear, I just realized, I'm going to Gettysburg next weekend...not the end of April weekend, the beginning of May. I get to room with my friends since it's a school trip. NO PARENTS!!!
Then my birthday, and Jazz Band gigs, and Marching Band starts soon....YAY! I'm going to love next month. It's going to be weird not blogging everyday. I'll try and post a blog at least every week. Maybe on Saturdays to wrap up the week. I'll try, I promise!

What's With The Bunnies?
Happy Zombie Day! I say this because Easter is the celebration of a Zombie. If you're Catholic, think about it. What I really want to know, is how the "Easter Bunny" came into this. Why a rabbit? Why not a snake? Or a raccoon? Or a fox? Why rabbits? I don't understand.
ANYWAYS! Enough with the bunnies. I had a terrific Easter today. I woke up at 12 since I didn't have to be anywhere, got my Easter stuff, and watched Tangled 2 more times before my dad took it back to the video store. I LOVE Tangled. I'm obsessed with it. It was at my house for a night, and I watched it 6 times. I sang the songs, I recited lines, I even laughed at the same parts every time. NEW OBSESSION! I like this obsession though. My mom said that this summer, I can paint Rapunzel's chalk drawing on my ceiling. Link to picture --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ljmtHKqKCQ&feature=player_detailpage#t=65s
(If the link doesn't work, just highlight it and right click then click go to URL. The time on the video for the picture is 1:05)
I'm excited about this :D
Other than the 5 coloring books, sidewalk chalk, and pretzel M&Ms I got in my basket, nothing else was too too exciting today. I had fun and that's all that matters.
I'm off of school tomorrow as well. YAY! It's a shame that I don't own a copy of Tangled yet. I can't wait to get one. I'm going to watch it all the time. Out of every single movie I've seen, I would like my life to be like Rapunzel's. Or any Disney princess movie really....That would be so awesome :D I'm not saying I want a fairy godmother or anything, but thinking of all of those adventures and risks they get to take? Who in their right mind would pass that up?
Based on a movie (or movie type) what would you want your life to be like?

Rain, Rain, I FREAKING LOVE YOU!
Did I ever mention I love the rain? Only when I'm with my friends though. Everything is a lot more fun with friends.
Today started off VERY very badly. My dad woke me up, practically yelling at me because I didn't tell him that I had softball practice at noon. He got me up at 11:20. As if I was going to have time to do anything. Thankfully, my coach texted me saying that practice was canceled because the upper field we were practicing on was basically flooded. So that was good. But then my parents were just kind of yelling at each other all day. So my mom and I went to Giant Eagle and then when I got home, my dad drove me to Livie's house. We had so much fun there!
We hung out with another one of our friends, Melissa. We call each other Boyfriend though because of an inside joke a while ago. It's completely normal. Anyways, we had fun. We picked up our friend Kyle and we went to Giant Eagle and Caribou Coffee. Then Boyfriend had to leave, so Livie and I played in the rain waiting for our other friend Erinn. Sadly, a little after Erinn got there, I had to leave.
Now I'm home and eating Dairy Queen Blizzards watching TANGLED! I'm basically obsessed with this movie. I'm just going to play it over and over until about 5am. I'm not even kidding. And my parents aren't annoyed with it either. So I'll be back tomorrow on Easter and tell you about how boring my day will be since we aren't going anywhere. BYE!!!

Cars
Today, I woke up at 12 noon and basically got in a car. I was in a car until 5:30pm when I got home. I am so sick of sitting, yet here I am typing up my BEDA blog post of the day. That's dedication right there. I do not want to be sitting here. All day, I just wanted to go for a walk. Just call one of my friends up and ask if they wanted to go for a walk. But what's the weather like here in Pittsburgh? It's freaking raining. I hate the bipolarness of Pittsburgh and that's all. That's the only thing that bugs me. Yesterday, it was sunny, but cold. Now it's miserable and raining. It's been raining all day non stop. Way to ruin my plans weather. Thanks a lot.
Well I bet you're wondering why I was in a car all day. No? Too bad. This is a blog and I'm going to tell you about my day.
My parents and I drove to Tandy Leather in Westmoreland County (Murrysville area) which is an entire county away from where I live (pretty damn far). Me and my mom shopped around a little bit while my dad went and bought some more leather stuff. On our way back, we stopped at an exotic pet shop called The Enclosure. That place mostly has reptiles and birds you've never even heard of before. Here are some pictures:

These animals are beautiful. Yes there is even a King Cobra in those pictures. We solely went there to see how much baby bearded dragons were since our just died. The ones they have there are called Leather Backs. Basically they're just a lot smoother and more colorful than the dragon we had. They were so cute :3
After the Enclosure, we went to the Monroeville Joanne Fabrics. Nothing exciting there. I did get Ultraviolet while we were out though. I love that movie :)
But yeah, that's been my day. I really liked today. I hope tomorrow will be good too even though I have softball at noon and that's been the times I've been getting up lately...Oh well! Bye!

Is That A Fat Joke?
Hiya everyone! Today was fun!
This morning, and by morning I mean noon, I woke up to my mom bringing me breakfast in bed. It was amazing. I've never had breakfast in bed. It wasn't even anything fancy, just cinnamon toast with chocolate milk. But I thought it was adorable :)
After breakfast, I went in my living room and started my Screen Gems marathon. This marathon consists of all 4 Resident Evil movies and all 3 Underworld movies. I have 4 more movies left to watch :) I would've been able to watch more than 2 today if I wasn't cut short because of softball >:p
I really didn't want to go to practice today. It was extremely cold and I made the dumb decision to wear shorts. So all my friend, Bre, and I did the whole time was complain. It was pretty funny.
Other than that, I've just been listening to the Tangled soundtrack all day. I REALLY WANT THIS MOVIE AND SOUNDTRACK!!!! I'm going to ask my parents if we can go to best buy and get some stuff :D I hope that'll work.
For Dinner, I had Chinese Food. My fortune cookie was very insulting and it goes with the title of this blog. It said, "Great things happen when men and mountains meet." Now I'm no future teller or whatever, but that was definitely a fat joke. I am insulted.
So now I'm just sitting here singing to myself, drinking Cherry Pepsi, and replying back to my pen pals. This month is going to fast :D I love it. See you tomorrow!

Song of the Day
I just had a thought. I'm going to post my "song of the day" every time I post a blog. And since it's BEDA, there are going to be quite a few songs. Why couldn't I have thought of this earlier?
SONG OF THE DAY!!!!
Spiderwebs - No Doubt
Now that that's over, SPRING BREAK HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED! I'm excited for tomorrow. I'm going to have a Resident Evil and Underworld marathon all day. I wish I had Ultraviolet too so I could watch it with my amazing marathon, but maybe I'll get it for my birthday :) (which is in about a month)
Today was an easy day at school. We did basically nothing but eat because we had parties. I love easy days like that. Jazz Band made my day though (when doesn't it). In the song Chameleon, Livie and I have a sort of "battle to the death" because we play the same thing and no one else really plays except rhythm. So before we started I said that it would be funny if we tried to kick each other while we played to win the battles. Well Livie attempted to kick and sing the beginning notes of Chameleon and ended up kicking Megan's trumpet across the room! It was soooo funny! Other than that, nothing really happened. My mom's back is still in spasms and we don't know what to do about it. I really hope she gets better.
Tomorrow I'll tell you about the amazing marathon I'm going to have! Or maybe even movie reviews!!!

ER
Today was a pretty bad day. I don't exactly know why though. You know when nothing triggers a bad day, but u just feel absolutely terrible? Well that was my day.
This morning was alright, but annoying for no reason. Nobody did anything annoying at all. It was just annoying. Afternoon was a little bit better, but then I discovered that I "lost" my hoagie (Sub sandwich thing for those of you who don't know Pittsburghese) order form paper. The orders were due today, but thankfully the collector lady said she'd come by tomorrow morning for the paper. I still can't find it. This sucks.
Anyways, after school I went to Ian's with my parents yet again. This time, the secretary was Natalie, which is the fun secretary. She's the one who asked me to babysit her kids and train her new puppy. But she really liked my hair and I was happy :) My mom said that I'm aloud to get it permanently done as the dark red I had before. I'm excited. I love that color.
Speaking of my mom, we had to go to the ER today because of her :-/ She has had lower back spasms for 4 days and Ian told us that it would be best to go to the ER so we did and she got X Rays. Nothing's wrong. But with my family, that's how it always is. We were there for 2 and a half hrs and nothing is wrong. Go figure. Se la Vi.
Tomorrow is the last day before Spring Break, so I hope it'll be a much easier and happier day. See ya tomorrow!

Nothing Special
Today was essentially what the title is of today's blog. I went to school, got a bunch of compliments on my red hair, went home, went to Ian's, came home, did nothing. So uneventful.
I will divulge my plans I had for Easter/Spring Break, however. My best friend, Alora, and I were planning on having a picnic sometime during break for our parents to meet so we can officially go to each others houses (we live 2 rivers away from each other). The plan was to find a day when our parents work hours held a very decent sized gap so we could go and have a picnic. FAIL. Our parents both work during inopportune times so we have basically ruined plans. AND IT SUCKS!!!!!! Luckily, Saturday might be a good day. I really really really really really really really really hope that we can make this work. Instead of a picnic, our parents are (hopefully) agree to go to one of our houses, drop off said child and then Alora and I have the best sleep over on Earth. I was soooo pumped for break, but ever since I found out about the whole hours ordeal, I've become insanely bummed out. I hate it. I just had such a spectacular weekend, and now Monday strolls along in and basically ruins it. GREAT.
That's all I had to vent about today. Wishing tomorrow will be better :-/
Oh! I forgot to leave the My Little Demons link in the bottom yesterday, so I'll leave that here now!

Comicon
COMICON WAS AMAZING AND AWESOME AND FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my god. That was so much fun. My eyes hurt from looking at camera flashes all day, but I still had so much fun. I'm super tired and since I just got back from the Con, I figured I'd try to tell my tales now.
This morning started off with me doing last minute adjustments, and I screwed up...BAD. The jeans I was gonna wear were too bulky at the bottom to fit in the boots without it looking like I had tumors on my legs. So I went to cut of the bottom.....I cut off too much. Basically those jeans are ruined unless I roll them into capris or something. So instead I had to hurry up and grab my good jeans I was gonna wear to begin with. Luckily, they fit in the boots. So I threw my costume together and went off to Comicon.
When I got there, I met up with the girl who invited me. Alexa works with my dad so I felt kinda weird walking around with all adults when I'm just a 15yr old. I did invite Megan, but she bailed. I also invited Shannon, but she just got grounded. So I met some new people and man are they awesome! They belong to a society call The Steam Punk Society. I'll leave links at the end as to what exactly the do and all of that fun stuff. It's hard to explain really since I was just accepted as the youngest member. I feel special and accomplished.
Anyways, while we were walking around, we registered for the Costume Contest. We all went up as a group when the event started. We won the Best Group Outfit :D We got a trophy and everything. The trophy is going to be held at the "base" of Steam Punk Society: Trundle Manor. That place is cool. I'll leave their website link in the bottom as well.
After we won the award, the power went off. It was funny because instead of everyone screaming like the stupid people in my school, everyone cheered. I was not expecting that. I thought it was hilarious. We then proceeded to walk around some more. Sadly, I didn't get to take any pictures. We were all too busy getting our pictures taken to take any, ya know? When I do get those pictures on my computer, I'll post a few on here with my next blog I guess.
The people I met were so nice. They are definitely going to be my friends and I am without a doubt going to stay in the Society. It's just so wonderful. Also, I spent almost all of my money on the greatest things i have ever seen. It's called My Little Demons. Some lady basically took My Little Ponies and turned them into evil, morbid, adorable, and terrifying little ponies, unicorns, and pegasi. I'll also leave a link to her work in the bottom. That, for the most part, wraps up the great time I had. A lot more stuff happened, but my brain is just so fuzzy right now, I can hardly focus on these keys.
Back to yesterday when I said I'd catch you up. Regrettably, Kim, Megan, and I didn't get to go and see Sucker Punch. Instead, we went and saw Tangled. That was probably one of the most adorable movies I've ever seen in my life. It was just so cute and omygosh the little Chameleon was so cuuuuttttttteeeeee!!!!!!! I want one :) After the movie was over, we went across the street and through a giant parking lot to the pet store to look at the kitties and birds and hamsters. They have a Chinchilla there. It was sleeping and it was so cute :3 Then, Kim's mom came and picked us up. We then went to Kim's house, she burned me a CD and then I went home. Simple as that.
This weekend has just been so awesome. I'm gonna miss it so much. Hopefully more exciting things will be coming soon! Until tomorrow!

Oh my god. That was so much fun. My eyes hurt from looking at camera flashes all day, but I still had so much fun. I'm super tired and since I just got back from the Con, I figured I'd try to tell my tales now.
This morning started off with me doing last minute adjustments, and I screwed up...BAD. The jeans I was gonna wear were too bulky at the bottom to fit in the boots without it looking like I had tumors on my legs. So I went to cut of the bottom.....I cut off too much. Basically those jeans are ruined unless I roll them into capris or something. So instead I had to hurry up and grab my good jeans I was gonna wear to begin with. Luckily, they fit in the boots. So I threw my costume together and went off to Comicon.

A New Look
I didn't realize this at first, but when I typed the title of this blog, it reminded me of something a girl named Shelby in the second Fallen book: Torment. She says something like "Every time my heart gets broken, I just change my hair for a fresh start. Ya know? A new look!" and then the main character, Lucy, bleaches her black hair. Does this mean I'm coping with my breakup? Nah, I hated that guy and we broke up a little more than a year ago so I am just fine.
What's this new look you're asking about? It's my hair. My friend came over today and helped me dye it. I have red hair. I feel amazing rite now. I love this color. It's like blood red mixed with the brown of my natural hair color. Its so sick.

I love it. My Claire Redfield costume is coming amazingly. My mom is currently making the vest jacket thing she has on and I'm about to draw the symbol she has on her jacket. The only problem is getting good boots she wears and the fact that I have glasses :-/ I do have an eye doctor appointment scheduled for early May to get contacts, but that'a a long way off compared to SUNDAY. Plus contacts take a while to come in so I'd have to wait even longer. Oh well. For pictures, I just won't wear them.
I'll have more updates on my costume tomorrow!!!

Shelby? Not Anymore!!!
Hey guys! If you've been following me for a while, you'd know my name is Shelby. Well, on Sunday, it's gonna be Claire Redfield. FYeah!
Today, me and my mom went out after I was done with school and got some more stuff for my costume. It's gonna be so kick ass because it won't be like the super exaggerated cosplay things you buy. It's all homemade. My mom is going to fix up this shirt that we bought for her red jacket, I got new jeans, and last night, my dad and I spent our entire night making the gun holster. It's amazing.
The holster is handmade out of leather from my grandpa. He used to do leather work all the time (or so I'm told. I've never met him because he died before I was born) and now my dad has taken the work up because of him. Obviously I can't take a real pistol or gun to Comicon so I replaced it with my Jack Sparrow pistol I have. I'ts great because it fits perfectly. We made the clip on straps last night too. Seriously, this is going to look amazing. I'll post up a picture or 2 whenever I can.
I have also never dyed my hair before, but I most likely am for Comicon. Claire's hair is a very nice auburn color. Mine is light and dark brown with blonde and slight red highlights in it. All completely natural. I have awesome hair.
Other than this exciting stuff going on. I don't really have much more going on. I'll be back tomorrow!
