...It's almost been a month since I posted last. I'm really bad about updating this thing.
Actually, I don't have anything to talk about. Except for the fact that Warped Tour is 18 days away and I'm dying. I wish time would go by faster.
So... yeah. That's about it. My life is pretty boring. Maybe I'll make something up, and write about it.
Oh, yeah. Yesterday I totally went to the Moon. It was incredible! It's totally not made out of Swiss cheese, but there is a huge ocean, and I swam in it. Alex Gaskarth was there, too. We swam together... and then had dinner on the beach. It was a beautiful thing.
We're in love and are going to be married on July 9th. At Warped Tour. It's going to be great. We're both very excited. I think we're going to have our honeymoon on the Moon, because, you know. We can.
Anyway, I'll let you know how everything turns out.

Forty-seven!
47. The exact number of days since I have last posted anything. This is kind of depressing, especially when you realize the last 47 days of my life have been filled with awesomeness.
So, first things first: We still do not have a new car, and to add to the misfortune, now one of our other cars doesn't run. We are down to one vehicle. My dad drives it to work, leaving my mom to get rides from her co-workers. Luckily for me and my brother, I have a nice friend that took us to school.
However, more good than bad has taken place these past 47 days. Such as, Graduation. Yes, everyone. Much to the amazement of myself and everyone around me, I graduated high school on Saturday. I'm forever done with school of every kind. Seriously. I could barely finish high school, there is no way I'm going to college. My brother on the other hand, still has a lot of school left. He doesn't even graduate for another five years...
Speaking of graduation, my party was the next day. I ate lots of food and got really fat. Oh, and the best part? My Grandma gave me a necklace. Not just any necklace, but a necklace with my birthstone. I can't find jewelrey with my birthstone anywhere. Needless to say, she is my favorite Grandma. And next to that, I got $250. Not bad, if I do say so myself.
Warped Tour plans are underway. One of my friends can't make it (she has summer classes for college), so now my other friend and I need to find a replacement. I'm not too worried about that.
Juliet Simms of Automatic Loveletter. After watching all season, voting and crying and almost dying every time there was an elimination, she came in second. Which is still good, right? I wanted to kill myself when she didn't win. The night before I had completely forgotten about voting, so when they said first and second were separated by four percent... you can only imagine. She still made it farther than I thought she would, so I'm happy for her. She's amazing.
One more thing, I recently started re-reading the Harry Potter series. Why? Because I felt nostalgic. I haven't read the books in a while. Heck, the first time I read them I was like, ten. It's weird reading them now... I remember them a lot differently. I plan to finish all the books and then sit and watch all the movies in a row. However, all the movies add up to be almost 24 hours, so... I don't know exactly how I'm going to watch them all. I might have to take breaks or something.
And of course, let's not forget, we had the second Friday the 13th of this year. I hope you were all safe. The next one is in July, so beware.

I'm ready for Graduation.
On Wednesday evening, my mom gets a phone call from my father. He says he was just in a car accident and that the car was totaled. The first thing out of my mom's mouth was, "Are you serious?" Then he second question was "Are you okay?"
This is the second car my dad has totaled now... and this time it sucks even more because the car he totaled was supposed to be mine! They were actually planning on giving it to me in the next few weeks.
So, here is what happened: My father is coming home from work. He is on the interstate, passing some guy when this guy decides he can't see my dad and gets over. He hits my dad and then my dad hits the guardrail.
Amazingly, my dad walked away perfectly fine. Not even a scratch. Oh, and the weird thing is all the doors open fine, the gauges work, and even the radio came on. It's crazy.
Anyway, while we were cleaning out our car, my friend texts me telling me we are going to see Titanic on Thursday. So, it made my day a whole lot better.
So, the next day (Thursday) three of my friends and I head to the movies. We saw Titanic and I bawled like a baby. That movie is just so sad... The movie was great in 3D for those of you who are wondering. I loved it.
After the movie, we went on some adventures that we are not allowed to talk about. What I can tell you is that we will be talking about our adventures for a while.

You should be jealous.
Warped Tour 2012 pre-sale tickets came on sale at 10:00am, Friday March 30.
Unfortunately, I was at school at that exact moment in time; however, as soon as I got home my mom and I ordered three tickets for the July 9th show in Bonner Springs. Why three tickets? One is for me, and the other two are for two of my friends.
I'm so excited! I can't believe I'm actually offically going to Warped Tour. It's like my dream come true. It's just awesome.
Anyway, these aren't just any tickets, for those of you who don't know. They are pre-sale tickets. Which not only means they are cheaper than the regular tickets, but they also come with a few added bonuses.
One of those extra surprises is that the tickets can be used as a Jump the Line pass, which basically means my friends and I don't have to wait in line to get in. We can just go right on through. Also, the purchase comes with a copy of this years Warped Tour compilation CD (which just happens to have Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low on the cover).
You should be totally jealous right now. You have no idea what you are missing out on, my friends.

It's late, I'm tired. I'm going to bed.
So, I realize it has been a LONG time since I have lost posted anything here... The main reason for that is nothing really blog worthy has actually happened, until now. And also, I have been extremely busy with school work. You see, I only need two more classes to graduate (English and Government), and, well, I was failing them. So I was spending all my extra time doing school stuff for those classes. Needles to say, I am now passing in both classes, and hopefully I will be posting my frequently again. Now, let's get down to business.
The first item up for discussion is how amazing it is knowing that Juliet Simms (of Automatic Loveletter) is going to the live shows on the the Voice. I expect all of you have been watching that show religiously, knowing that Juliet Simms is a contestant. When she moved on, I almost cried. I was so relieved. I want her to win, because she is awesome and I love her.
Now, probably MUCH more exciting than that is the news that I just learned today (yesterday? It's 2:02 in the morning...). ALL TIME LOW IS OFFICIALLY PLAYING WARPED TOUR THIS SUMMER! I literally screamed and cried and started jumping for joy when I read the line-up. I felt like I had died and gone to heaven. It was amazing. Everyone already knew they were going to be playing, but then they finally announced it. I thought I was going to die. But, of course, they are not the only band playing that I care about. Dare I mention: The Used, Taking Back Sunday, New Found Glory, Yellowcard, We The Kings, Breathe Carolina, It Boys!, Senses Fail, We Are the In Crowd, and a bajillion others. I can't wait for this summer. It's going to be awesome.
Oh, and lastly, before I forget, I just want to let you know that my laptop is out of commission. I don't know what is wrong with it, all I know is that it never works when I want it to. Therefore, it living in my parent's closet. In the meantime I am going to be using my old laptop. And when I say OLD, I mean it. It's probably five or six years old. The 6 key is missing (but obviously still works), oh, and it's running Windows XP. Oh, and if that's not enough I might also mention that their is no battery, so in order to stay on it has to be plugged in all the time (not much of a laptop if you ask me). Needless to say, I miss having my nice new laptop with beautiful Windows 7... My hope is that I can get it fixed, and be using it again soon. I don't know how much longer I can take this old laptop. It's killing me.
There. That is all I have to say. Hopefully my next post won't be as long (or boring, or sad).

Superbowl Sunday!
So, the Superbowl was on Sunday. I'm not going to lie, I only watched it from the half time show on. I just don't care about sports, and the only reason I wanted it at all was because nothing else was on. For anyone wondering, the Giants won. By four. So, all you Giants fans can celebrate.
Anyway, what I want to talk about is what was on after the Superbowl. Yes, the Voice. For any of you who have not watched it, I am telling you to do so now. It's actually a really cool show. Oh, and it doesn't hurt to look at Adam Levine the whole time. He's just so attractive...
...anyway. Juliet Simms is what I want to talk about. She was on the Voice. For those of you who don't know, Juliet Simms is the lead singer of the band Automatic Loveletter. I have no idea why she is on the show, but I'm glad she is. I love her. I always have. Hearing her name on that show, I almost had a heart attack.
Now, the Voice was on again Monday night. Another famous face was on the stage. Angel Taylor. Yes, she is also a singer. And while I'm pointing out all these famous people, I just want to point out that last season Dia Frampton was on the show. Dia and her sister Meg are in a band called... Meg & Dia. They've actually been around for a while.
So, there you have it. I hope I enlightened you to check out the show if you haven't, or check out the celebrities now that I pointed them out to you. I just want to say your welcome in advance.

Daniel Radcliffe is attractive.
First of all, I just want to point out that it has been forever since I've updated this... and I've been trying to come up with things to talk about just so I can update this. Now I have finally come up with something!I'm currently reading Forever (Book three in the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy) by Maggie Stiefvater. Yes, I did read the first two, Shiver and Linger.
The first two books were fantastic and I definitely recommend them if you haven't read them. If you enjoy werewolves, and amazing love stories, this is the series for you!
Anyway, I'm currently half way done with the last book, and I just want to say that it is still amazing. Usually in the last book of a series, everything goes down hill. So far, this book is still good. However, as I said, I'm only half way done with it. I highly doubt this book is not going to be good, though.Once I have completed Forever, I will begin reading The Woman in Black.
Yes, The Woman in Black. As in the movie starring (the amazingly handsome) Daniel Radcliffe that comes out February 3. It was a book first. I know this because the book came out in 1983... and it has been a play in the UK for the past twenty years (Yes, it took twenty years for it to get to America. It's kind of depressing, isn't it?).
I want to read it and then go watch the movie. Because books are almost always better than movies. Unless of course, the movie is starring Daniel Radcliffe (who is very attractive).Oh, and I don't care what you think: Daniel Radcliffe is a very attractive man. Seriously, just look at him.

Friday the 13th
In just a few days we will see the first Friday the 13th of the new year. I just want to take a second to point out that there are three Friday the 13's this year. Three. Don't you think it's a little strange, that in the year 2012 (the year the world is supposedly going to end) there are three Friday the 13's. I think this is rather strange. So, I want to talk about this interesting superstition a little bit.
Paraskevidekatriaphobics: The fear of Friday the 13th (Yes, it's a real thing). Suffer from this? So do 17 to 20 million people in the United States.
Friday the 13 can happen at least once and up to three times a year (as is the case this year. With it landing in January, April and July). It's very rarely that it happens more than three times a year.
There is no known origin for this superstition, but there are many different theories such as; 12 is the number of completeness, and if there are 13 guests at a dinner, one will die by the end of the year (At the Last Supper, there were exactly thirteen people, and by the end of the year Christ was crucified. The crucifixion itself took place on a Friday).
Now that we have had a brief history lesson, I have one question:
Do you believe in Friday the 13th?
Whether you believe or not, I advise you to stay away from ladders, black cats, glass, and salt. Actually, just avoid everything, just stay in bed. Who knows, maybe getting out of bed is going to set something in motion, ultimately causing you to get hit with bad luck for the rest of your life (Final Destination, anyone?).
Please, please, I implore you. Be cautious this Friday the 13th.

Happy New Year!
So, I know this is a little late, but this is first chance I've had to sit down and write anything.
New Year's Eve, I went over to my friends house and we had a party. We watched movies, played some games, ate great food. It was awesome. We stayed up until almost five thirty in the morning... I slept until almost one in the afternoon. I just want to say right now, that I have never slept in that late in my whole life. Seriously. It was weird to wake up in the afternoon. I didn't get home until almost seven thirty yesterday, and once I was home I sat around with my parents and watched TV.
So, yes. This is the first moment where I'm not doing anything else. I want to take this moment to talk about my new years resolutions (I didn't give them much thought... actually I didn't think about them at all).
1. Lose weight. This is a resolution I have every year. This year I'm actually going to try and lose some weight. I'm not saying that I'm fat or anything, but I would like to lose a little bit.
2. Get a job. Mainly because I need the money... and I'm eighteen years old. I feel like I need a job.
3. Go to more concerts. I went to two concerts last year. That's the most I've ever been to in one year. This year I want to go to twice that, at least. With Warped Tour being the main one. I've never been before, and I think this is the perfect year to go. Also: Meet Alex Gaskarth, and hug him.
4. Write more. Maybe I'll write a book or something...
5. Live through 2012. I don't want to die on December 21, 2012. I mean, who does?
So, what are your New Year's Resolutions? I bet they're better than mine. I just came up with mine right now, as I was typing them. Maybe next year I'll take some time to think about it a little more... Maybe that should be another one of my resolutions...

Christmas
Merry Christmas!
I want to take a moment and talk about the presents I got this year:
1. Socks. Yea, socks. I'm actually okay with this. I needed new socks anyway...
2. Laptop Sleeve. I'm okay with this too. It's what I wanted. I already knew my mom was getting it for me, because I was standing there when she ordered it...
3. Slippers. Okay, so I wanted new slippers because my other pair was completely destroyed.
4. Lotions. Who doesn't like to get lotion? And it smells good. I'm very happy with this.
5. $25 gift card to Alco. Okay, now this is probably the worst gift ever. HOW DO YOU SPEND $25 IN ALCO? If you have never heard of Alco, don't look it up. It's the worst store in the history of stores... Even despite it being the worst store ever, I managed to spend $12 of my gift card. I bought a new mouse for my laptop and some nail polish.
6. Candy. Who doesn't love candy. Seriously? Best. Gift. Ever.
All in all, I want to be disappointed in the gifts I got this year, but I can't. Last year was a great year for Christmas. I got a laptop last year! My parents have been on a tight budget this year, so I knew that I wasn't going to get much. So, yea. I'm thankful and happy with what I got. At least I got something at all.
So, that's that. This afternoon my dad is going to cook up a nice Christmas dinner for just us. The food is going to be great, and I can't wait. I hope you all have a great Christmas!

Christmas Eve Eve.
Tonight is the Night Before Christmas Eve, and I feel like I still have a few important things to talk about before Christmas:
Number one: We had our first Snow Day on Tuesday. It was great, but because we missed school, we had to go all day Wednesday to finish finals. I actually enjoyed it, because I only had one final left for Wednesday. Everything else was just a party. The start to my Christmas break was amazing.
Number two: Because I have a bunch of free time, I've been spending it writing. I really want to get some stuff finished so I can move on and work on all the new ideas that I have. It's nice not having to worry about school work. I can spend all my time and energy on writing.
Number three: I finished Girl with the Dragon Tattoo the other day. It was actually a really good book. I never saw the ending coming (Okay, maybe I did, but that's beside the point). Now, I'm moving on to Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. I've only read about eight chapters so far, but I really like where it's headed. I let you know how I feel about it when it's finished.

Useless Information
![]() |
In other news: Finals started yesterday. I already took my Government and Psychology finals. All I have left is English, Advanced Biology (which are both on Monday), and Spanish (on Wednesday). I have some other classes, but I don't have a real final in them. In my Yearbook class, we're going to our teaches house and having breakfast (That's my last final. It's always nice to end the semester with breakfast). I can't wait for this semester to be over. I need a break.
Another thing: I think I may have become obsessed with tumblr. I stayed up until almost two in the morning last night, because I was on tumblr. It's probably my new favorite website ever. Even better than facebook, or twitter. If you haven't already, check it out. You don't know what you are missing.
Last but not least, I want to talk about reading for a second. Currently I'm reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I'm about halfway through it, and I have to say that it's really good. I want to get it finished and then see the movie. I have the rest of the books in the series, too. And I plan on reading all of them. When I get them read, I'll let you know what I thought. So, I'm off to read.

...and we meet again.
I've kind of been putting this off for a while, but I finally decided I needed to sit down and write this. So, that's what I'm doing.
First of all, I'm happy to announce that I got my senior necklace in the mail today. It's sparkly and awesome. I never want to take it off. What I don't understand is why it came in a huge package. Seriously. This package is huge, and a tiny little necklace was all that was inside. They couldn't send it in something a little smaller? The package didn't even fit in the mailbox... I don't understand people sometimes.
Another happy announcement: My Grandma ordered my Christmas present Thursday when I got home from school. The order won't ship until Wednesday because the items are on pre-order. I plan on getting my stuff by the end of next week. It usually doesn't take very long for stuff to get here. I'm getting an All Time Low shirt and nightgown. They're awesome. I can't wait to get them, so I can wear them all the time. I love my Grandma. She always buys me what I want.
One last thing: My parents went away this weekend. They went to the Blizzard Bash in Topeka. They left Friday morning and weren't back until late last night. It was just me and my brother by ourselves all weekend. It was great. I managed to get a lot of writing done. I feel so acomplished. Anyway, when they got back they brought us stuff. A mohawk head band that lights up, and then a ball that lights up when you squeeze it. I couldn't stop playing with the stuff. I seem to be fascinated by things that light up...
Well, that's about all I wanted to talk about. I'm sure next time we meet, I'll have more not-so-important announcements for you. So, stay tuned.

Thanksgiving
Today is thanksgiving and everywhere you look people are talking about what they are thankful for. So, I figured I should get into the spirit and do the same.
I'm thankful for my parents. For one, without them I wouldn't be here right now. And two, they are just the most awesomest people ever. They let me go to concerts, I don't have a curfew, they let me get piercings and tattoos. If I had any other people for my parents I would be a completely different person.
I'm thankful for all my family. I love them all. Even if we fight sometimes, I still love them. Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, I love them all. I don't know what I would do if my family was this great.
I'm thankful for music. I know, that one is kind of weird. But without music in my life, I wouldn't be me. Music means the world to me. I can't stand not being able to listen to anything. Just think about how boring your life would be if you didn't have anything to fill in the silence. My Chemical Romance, Panic! at the Disco, Mat Musto, Hot Chelle Rae, All Time Low, and a bazillion others. Especially All Time Low. I don't know what I would do without those guys. Oh, and I prefer CD's to MP3, in case you were wondering. Nothing beats going to a record store and buying and actual disk that you put in your car or stereo and listen to. Not only does it have a different sound quality, but CD's are forever. You can't just one day lose all your CD's, unlike MP3s. People need to keep buying CD's, I would be devastated it the record industry went out of business and everything was digital. I wouldn't be able to buy music anymore. So, please. I beg you: Buy an actual CD that you can hold in your hand, not just the digital copy.
I'm thankful for books. Actually, I'm thankful for words and people still read books, too. I know that in today's world everyone likes to have electronic books. I can't stand that idea. You miss out on the feel of the pages, and all that other good stuff that comes with actually holding a book in your hands. Words. What would we do without words. I love the fact that there are millions of words in the world and that any one is able to use them. People who read books. Without those people, there would be no point in my wanting to be an author. If people weren't reading books, there is no point to write books either. So, for all of you who love to read actual books, keep doing it. Please, I beg you.
So, that's what I'm thankful for in a nut shell. I'm sure there are other things, like my freedom, and stuff like that, but those are all things everyone is thankful for. It's kind of something that goes unsaid. Anyway, that's it. I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving. Make sure you eat lots of turkey and pumpkin pie. And if you don't like pumpkin pie, eat it anyway. Pumpkin pie is the most delicious pie ever invented and there is something seriously wrong with you if you don't like it. Seriously.
Anyway, eat all that delicious food and be thankful for it!

Sunday, November 20th
Before I say another word, I just want to say that I am terribly sorry that it has taken me so long to get this updated. I have been really busy lately. But, anyway, I hope you enjoy!
**
After almost two weeks, I was still having a hard time dealing with the fact that my best friend, Tanya, was an alien. The new Tanya was exactly like the original and no one suspected anything, but I still knew the truth. Even after spending a bunch of time with her and her sister, I still wasn't used to it. Another thing I wasn't used to was talking to Alex Gaskarth. We had only spoken a few times in the almost two weeks since the incident. Each time I couldn't stop thinking about how awesome it was that he was not only talking to me, but he loved me. It was like my dreams had come true.
3:15pm, My phone rang and I knew who it would be before I even looked at the screen. I answered and was rewarded with the sweet sound of Alex's voice. We talked about his day for a while before he told me he wanted to see me. He said he was on his way to my house as we spoke, and he had already told all my friends to meet us in the park.
3:45, I got dressed quickly, not bothering with my hair and make-up. Alex arrived shortly after and he then drove us to the park. When we got there all my friends were there. Tanya, Michelle, Kenzie*, Tina*, Sage*, Randy*, and Gabe*. Kenzie and Gabe were making out while everyone else just stared at them. Ever since they had started dating, the couldn't keep their hands off each other.
4:00, We hung out, just talking. Alex got to know everyone. Eventually, Sage suggested we head to Salina to see Breaking Dawn since it just opened and none of us had seen it yet. Tina and Randy didn't want to go, so the rest of us got in Tanya's van and headed to the movie.
4:45, As soon as we arrived in Salina, I knew something odd was going on. When we got to the mall, we saw them. Zombies. Everywhere. They were all bloody and disgusting, definitely real. There were dead bodies laying all around. All the bodies were missing chunks of flesh, like they had been bitten. It looked like something out of a horror movie.
5:00, Of course, Alex was prepared. He always carries his weapons on him in case of an alien attack. He told Tanya to park the van and she did. He climbed out and started killing zombies. At first I was terrified he was going to be eaten, but after a while I calmed down. He killed aliens for a living, zombies would be no problem.
5:15, Inside the van, the rest of us tried to think of a plan. We decided that the only way to prevent the apocalypse from spreading was to find the source and destroy it. I called Alex back in and we told him the plan. He said he knew exactly where the source would be: the mall food court (That's where the source of every apocalypse is. It always starts with a bad piece of food).
5:30, Alex handed each one of us a weapon before we ran out of the van. Quickly we ran into the mall, killing all the zombies that came into our path. Once inside we quickly found what caused the zombie apocalypse in the food court. It was a radioactive piece of pizza. Alex said he had experience with radioactive food, and he knew just what to do. He pulled a vile of blue liquid from one of his pockets. He carefully poured a few drops of the liquid onto the pizza slice. Automatically, it transformed into a regular pizza again. Now, Alex explained, we had to find the person who ate the pizza originally and make them eat it. He said the person who ate it will look radioactive, like the pizza.
6:00, We split up. Alex and I went further into the mall, Kenzie and Gabe took the parking lot, and Sage went with Tanya and Michelle to drive around town.
6:30, We entered J.C. Penny and suddenly the zombies were everywhere. All at once they attacked us. Alex started firing his gun. All I had was a crowbar, but I smashed in the zombies skulls. After a few minutes, I felt a sharp, burning sensation in my calf. I looked to find a zombie biting me. Alex killed it and the pulled me out of the store. My leg hurt, and I couldn't move. He looked at me with nothing but determination in his eyes. He told me that feeding the original zombie the pizza would stop everything and I would be fine.
7:00, Alex and I were down to the last store with still no sign of the radioactive zombie. We walked into Sears, hoping to find the zombie. We had almost searched the whole store and were about to give up hope when we finally found him. The zombie was busy munching on some innocent store clerk. We snuck up on the zombie and Alex attacked. I stopped thinking about the pain in my leg. All I could focus on was not turning into a zombie. Alex grabbed the pizza and shoved it in the zombie's mouth, making him chew. I watched as he swallowed the pizza, and instantly zombies everywhere started turning back into regular people. I looked down at my leg and watched as it healed itself, leaving no signs or being bitten. Even the dead bodies can back to life. No one had any idea that anything had happened. Alex leaned down and kissed me.
7:15, We all met back up in the food court. Sage decided that she didn't want to see the movie anymore and everyone agreed. We all climbed back into Tanya's van and headed home.
7:45, Finally home, Alex and I crawled onto my couch to watch a movie. We ate popcorn and drank hot cocoa, snuggling to keep warm. it was nice to not have to worry about being turned into a zombie. Who knows what would have happened if Alex hadn't been with us. All in all it, was the perfect ending to an action packed day.

Life sucks, and then you die.
So, I am officially giving up with my MP3 player. After it finally started working again, it decided that every time I press the volume buttons, it wanted to shut off. I wasn't too worried about it, because I had managed to get it a decent volume. I was perfectly fine with not messing with the volume.
But then tragedy struck. I turned it on later and the touch controls wouldn't work. It won't let me do anything! That was last Sunday. So, I have decided that I'm just going to forget about it. I feel terrible because my Grandma spent $120 on it, and within three weeks it was already ruined. My plan is to get a job, pay her back the money and then buy myself a nice new MP3 player. The new one won't be anywhere near water, ever.
Speaking of jobs, after my interview Family Video never called me back saying I got the job. So, I'm going to assume that since it has been almost two weeks, that I'm not getting hired. Now I have to figure out what I'm going to do because I really need a job. I think I might go back to the library and get an application down there again. The only other job I've had was working in a restaurant, and it was terrible. I'm never doing that again.
That's the news for now. I'm sorry it took so long to get this updated. I was really busy with writing my Psychology and English paper. Now, my Psychology paper is finished and English won't take me very long. All I can think about is that every day of school gets me one day closer to graduation, and after graduation I don't have to worry about school ever again. Senioritis? Yep, I have it. Really bad. It's almost at the point where I don't even care about school anymore. All I need to graduate is English and Government. I've seriously thought about skipping all my other classes and just going for those two. That's how much I want to graduate.
Until next time, I hope you have a good day!

It's Alive!
Great news! My MP3 player works!
I turned it on the other day and the screen worked perfectly fine. It has a little bit of water damage so the color is a little weird, but other than that everything works fine. I'm beyond happy. I don't know what I would have done if it wouldn't have worked.
Well, that was all I wanted to talk about. I hope you have a good day. I know I will.

Completely, 100 percent true.
Before I say another word, I want to emphasize this story (and all others proceeding it) is completely, one hundred percent true.
6:45am: My mom wakes me up as she is leaving for work. I quickly dress and skip breakfast (when you are as awesome as me, you don't need breakfast).
So, that was my day so far. How was your day?
*Names changed (as to protect their identity)
6:45am: My mom wakes me up as she is leaving for work. I quickly dress and skip breakfast (when you are as awesome as me, you don't need breakfast).
7:15: I go to wake my brother. He soon awakens and gets dressed, also skipping breakfast (he eats at school because he's not as awesome as me).
7:30: Tanya* shows up in her big white rape van with her sister, Michelle*, sitting in the backseat and gives us a ride to school. Everything seems normal. However, after dropping my brother off at the middle school, Tanya drives right by the high school and onto the highway. I start to worry.
8:15: We're late for school, but that is the least of my worries. By this time I have discovered that Tanya has been taken over by aliens. I discovered this when she started speaking in an alien language. Her sister seems to be perfectly fine. We exchange worried glances, but don't speak for fear of the aliens hearing us.
8:45: Tanya continues on the highway toward Junction City. The stereo in her van doesn't work, so we've been driving in silence the whole time. The noiselessness is starting to bother me, but I can't grab my MP3 player from my bag for fear of disturbing the aliens. Michelle looks like she is about to throw up.
9:15: As we approach Junction City, Tanya starts talking in the alien language again. It appears like she is communicating with someone. After what sounds like an intense argument she falls forward onto the steering wheel. She is unconscious. In a panic, Michelle starts screaming. I manage to grab the wheels while telling Michelle to move her sister's body. She throws Tanya in the backseat and then crawls into the passenger seat. I take the first exit I see, which lands us in the Wal-Mart parking lot. I park, jump out of the van and lock the doors. Michelle and I stare at each other for a while trying to decide what to do next. That's when we notice everyone is staring at us. No one is making a sound, they are just staying at us with black faces (kind of like zombies). Then, all of a sudden, they attack us. Before I can even think about fighting them off, a little boy of about five years old walks up to me and knocks me over the head with a hammer.
10:00: Michelle and I are unconscious.
11:00: We're still unconscious.
12:00pm: More unconsciousness.
12:45: Finally, I wake up. I'm in a white room with no doors or windows and no sign of Michelle. In the middle of room is what appears to be an operating table with lots of terrifying looking tools. I look down at myself and notice I'm wearing a plain white hospital gown. All the white is making me nauseous.
1:15: Michelle is shoved through the wall. She looks fine, but she is acting strangely. Then she starts speaking the same alien language her sister spoke earlier. She's hysterical. After yelling at me for a few seconds, she falls on the floor and starts having a seizure. I reach down to help her, but she is sucked through the floor. At this point I'm positive we were abducted by aliens, and that I will never see my family again. I start to cry.
1:30: A creature with six legs and twice as many eyes walks into the room. I'm sure it's planning to attack me. Knowing there is nothing I can do, I back into the corner and close my eyes. A few moments pass and nothing happens. I open my eyes and to my astonishment, I see Alex Gaskarth climbing out of the alien costume. I don't know what to think. MY SAVIOR IS HERE! I AM SAVED! Sure enough, Alex tells me he is here to protect me. He tells me he is part of a secret organization that deals in protecting the public from alien interference (like Men and Black).
2:00: Aliens ambush us. They are in the room and attacking. Within minutes Alex and I manage to defeat all the aliens and make it out of their spaceship (located under the Junction City Wal-Mart. Who would have known?). Alex helps me into his car and we sit there for a few silent seconds. He stares into my eyes before confessing his love for me. He then proceeds to tell me that we can't be together because of this job as an alien hunter. However, he tells me we can still see each other and he will never stop loving me. I'm perfectly fine with this. I always knew we would fall in love.
2:45: At my house, Alex calls some people and arrange for a new Tanya and Michelle to be brought here. He says the old ones are now aliens forever and I can't ever see them again. The new Tanya and Michelle are exactly the same as the old ones. No one should be able to tell a difference. Before he leaves, he kisses me passionately. When the new Tanya and Michelle arrive I'm amazed at how much they look like the old ones. I hop in Tanya's van and we drive to the middle school to pick up my brother.
3:15: Tanya brings us home. I don't tell my brother what happened, and when my parents get home I'm not telling them either. I assume the rest of my day is going to be boring. I can't stop thinking about Alex and how much I miss him. I hope we see each other again soon.

Fantabulous?
First things first, I found my phone! It was in my friends van. The day after I lost it, my mom let me stay home from school because I had no way of getting in contact with my friend to tell her I needed a ride. So, I was going about my day, hoping that my friend would find my phone when all of a sudden my brother's phone rings. It's my mom telling me that my friend texted her saying she had my phone. Since I was home "sick" she brought it over to me as soon as school was out. I was extremely relieved. I knew it would be in her van... I knew it. I don't know what I would have done if it would have been out on the side of the street or something. I don't even want to think about it.
On to another important matter. Yesterday I was doing dishes, listening to my brand new MP3 player (by brand new I mean I got it two weeks ago for my birthday). So, I'm doing dishes. My mom decides that she is going to help me out by doing some drying. Which is usually a great thing, except because of this, I have completely forgotten that my MP3 player is sitting on the counter right beside a sink full of water. As I go to grab a dirty dish, the MP3 player falls in the sink.
Somehow it still works. I know, its a miracle. Well, by works I mean it plays music. The screen looks like this (see picture). I'm really hoping that my dad or someone can figure out how to fix it, because I really don't want to tell my Grandma that the MP3 player she spent $130 for my birthday is already broken. I mean, it functions just fine, but I can only listen to stuff on shuffle. I guess it could be worse. It could have not turned back on at all.
So that's all the news for now. I will be posting again later today with a fantabulous story about my most awesomely amazing day that I had. You don't want to miss it. Trust me.

Well, this is awkward.
I realize this is kind of overdue, it's just that I have been really busy and haven't been able to sit down for a second.
So, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
So, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Halloween is my favorite holiday. Seriously. My favorite. What's not to like about Halloween? I mean, you get free candy and you get to dress up for no reason. It's great.
I spent my Halloween doing nothing. I know, it's sad. The whole town was sad on Halloween. It seemed like no one was in the spirit. I still dressed up and ate free candy. I don't care what people think. Yes, I'm an 18 year old girl, and yes I do still enjoy dressing up for Halloween.
Anyway... moving on.
I didn't go to the All Time Low concert. Yes, it's depressing. But, I lived. I didn't cry as much as I thought I would. I'm still sad though. I really wish I could have went. I just have to keep thinking positive thoughts. I'm hoping they will come back really soon.
Oh, and more depressing matters: I lost my phone today. I remember putting it in my pocket when I left this morning, but when I was walking in to school, it was no longer there. I looked everywhere. The only thing I can think of is that I left it in my friend's van. I really hope that's where it is, because I don't know what I'll do if it's gone... I'm freaking out.
And I think I'm getting sick... So all-in-all these past couple days have sucked. Because of the suckiness, I'm ready for this year to get over already.
So, now that you (Whoever you are, and if there is a you out there) are informed, I will go. I hope you enjoyed my ramblings.
