Lucky break

I love my physiotherapist. Okay maybe that's a stretch, but she is amazing. She wrote a letter saying that I cannot take the stairs at my school and that I should take the elevator. This is great news! Now I don't have to worry about the stairs! I'm going to work hard at strengthening my knee. I've been working hard and progress has been made, but there is still a long way to go. Fingers crossed that they let me!!

Picture day tomorrow, I hope my hair doesn't act up. It tends to on important days, how horrible, I have the worst of luck.

I'm watching Java swing on his swing. He's a wonderful bird.

Anniversary

So today is my parents anniversary. They've been happily married for 17 years, how wonderful. The day went by fine, though the weather was horrible. I wore 3 layers and I was still cold! Arrrgh. I saw my friend at a thrift store, it's odd to see how much we've changed. How much we both have parted is sad, but I guess the world still turns. That's why we make new friends, since I'm not staying with much friends at my new high school I know I will make new ones, because the world keeps on turning!

I could write a rant about friendships in the future, but my fingers are freezing cold, I'm wearing a warm sweater. Blame the stupid weather. Yes, I blame YOU weather. I have to go to bed early as I'm going to council tomorrow! Yay for nerdy-ness!

Euphoria

Oh how weird are my thoughts. I set my alarm clock on and set it high away from my bed, so that when it rings I won't reach over and just turn it off. So this may seem normal to everyone but I react quite differently. I wake up 1 hour before the alarm is set to ring, if I turn the alarm off I drift into a sleep that is so heavy I end up waking up hours later! If I keep the alarm on I can't sleep, because I am afraid of the sound that wakes me up. Loud sounds are a tad bit scary, just a tinsy bit. When I am sleeping those sounds are even worse.

I am the odd person, I rarely have a good dream, for every night that I close my eyes to sleep I experience horrifying nightmares. No wonder I'm so on the edge, I can't escape from these nightmares but I don't mind. They do give me a lot of inspiration, for my art, my music and especially my writing. My friends don't like my art, they say it's too dark, well blame my nightmares.

I really admire Tim Burton, he's a freak! Just like me. The things he comes up with are un-real, it makes me look like an amateur. The dark side of things, it's so amazing. I'm not a dark person, don't get me wrong, I love color but I enjoy the mystery of dark art. I'm not a gory artist, I just would rather sketch with black than pink.

"You may hate on me now, but in the future you are going to wish you were nicer to me"

So my work isn't appreciated, who cares. Okay I do, but the truth of the matter is, everyone is a critic, and there's nothing you can do about it. I don't give up, actually the fact is because I didn't I've been given so many opportunities.

This wasn't what I had to write about but still.

Notice the new look of Wowzapalooza? It's yellow! I decided to choose some more color as fall is coming up and I love fall fashion.


Speaking of fashion, who went shopping today because they woke up 1 hour early and didn't want to turn their alarm clock so they wouldn't sleep in? It's me silly!

So yea, I'll tell you what I bought.

Clothes, a bag, make-up brushes, and two pairs of shoes! I am in love with the shoes, love love love them. I bought a beautiful scarf, I love it. Today has been nothing but euphoria.

Now you know that I have nightmares every night, and that I love shopping. I'm thinking of making another blog, dedicated to the arts, but I won't leave this blog, I love it too much. I need to find a blog fitting name. Wowzapalooza by Dea, and now something else. Hmm, guess that's my new project?

Stop breaking my heart

Stero Love - I love the background music much better than the lyrics. I'm trying to find the instrumental for my blog. The blog needs a whole new look. It's too bright, too white. I like the vintage feel, but it's time to try something new. New music, new layout. I'm going to try my best to try fixing it tonight.

Other news, CD arrived in the mail. Going to listen to it over and over again until I know every word, then I'll review it. The band is simply amazing.

So lucky me, having a spare every other day. I'll just finish all my homework in that spare and relax at home. Though french doesn't fit until grade 11, I'm happy with the outcome. This year is going to be great... well I'm hoping. We're just going to have to wait and see.

Speaking of school, must get all my back to school shopping done soon! I go back in 1 week from today. Yes school starts officially for me on Friday, though I am going on Monday for SC (student council), and sept 2 is the un-official. Ahh summer is almost done, but I embrace the future with open arms.

Let's just say, I get my way

Not in a snobby way, I work for it. I earn what I get. I believe that in order to succeed in life, you must work hard at it. What does this have to do with my day, I'm getting there, be patient.

I went to physio today, urgh, they want me to increase the strengthening, it's really tough, but I feel my knee strengthening. If I want to walk up those stairs I'm going to have to strengthen this knee.


So Bertie came over today! I gave her my crappy gift then she surprised me with her AMAZING gift.

See Bertie is my indie friend, don't be fooled, she may be asian but she worships Andrew as do I. Finding a friend who shares the same obsession for indie music and the love for Andrew is hard, so when I found Bertie I knew she was a keeper. Okay so I didn't find Bertie, we just met, same thing.

Anyways, she stayed for two hours and we played scrabble and cheat... but who cares, it's the QUALITY time we spent together. With her making me feel horrible, and making fun of me. I kid, though she did beat me in scrabble. It hurt. haha.

Look at what Bertie made me!


So the bigger one is what Bertie made me, the worn in look is part of the overall process. It's to give it a more indie vintage look. The rainbow one, was made for Pride, not made by Bertie. I like it though, Bertie's friend made it, and now it's mine!

So I really need to buy a new camera, like my picture quality is crap.

My timetable is fixed, sort of. I have a spare every other day, I got my physics class but not my french. I'll just take french in grade 11, then in grade 12 Ill take 30 and AP. Ah, it pays to plan ahead.

When I said I got my way, I said that because, physics is my favorite science class and I got it.

BURT'S BEES

If you know me, you'd know my lips are so dry. I have no idea why, I drink plenty of water. It's a weird thing with me. I need to make a lip scrub. I bought Burt's Bees as I figured it would solve my lip problem. I hope this works, dry lips are horrible.

What else did I buy today? Yellow nail polish. It's wonderful. I love it.

Did I get around to making Bertie the bag? No.
I have to clean my room, and I have a gift for her ! So it's all good.

I have physio tomorrow, FINALLY, that is wonderful news.

I'm going to watch agt just to see if Prince Poppycock got through. He is my favorite.

More exciting news on a bland day

I applied to review a CD for that YOUTHINK, and today they sent me an e-mail telling me I got the CD! I can't tell you which CD I got because it's a secret but this is such exciting news. They are one of my favorite bands!

More exciting news, one of my bestfriends, Bertie, is coming to visit me on Thurday. Yay...

Bad news, she is bringing me a gift, now I'm going to have to make her a bag. That's not to hard, I'm worried I don't have enough fabric. ARGH THE AGONY!

Well I'm going to go and find something right now.

Why waste time, I have 3 hours and 20 something minutes till midnight, that's plenty of time!

Miss Universe

I just spent two hours watching the Miss Universe pageant! It was annoying because my country didn't win but oh well. Congrats to Mexico, yay.

On another note, I woke up at around 12pm. Didn't do much today, except go to the library.

I took out 3 books, each did not smell bad so I will read them all! They are murder mystery books as those are my favorites. I used to read romance but then they got way to sappy.

Murder mysteries are dramatic. Well I make them way more dramatic than they have to be. Which is great, makes them more fun to read.

So that massive watermelon we bought is horrible. I took one bite. There's so many pieces... it's like it will never end... urgh.

It's almost september. Which means school starts, and it also means I get to see if my article made it to print! Print is very exciting. I love love love it! I've explained this before, but yea. You'll have more opportunities. At least that's what I think.

Ick. I'm off to clean the birds cage....

A day not wasted

Well what can I say about today?
Today is a day NOT wasted.

Here's how it went.
Woke up at 8am. Slept in till 9. That's pretty good for going to bed at 3am...
What did I do?
I filled the printer with ink, then printed out some instructions. Today I decided to make a shoulder bag!
My dad had this old over sized polo shirt which he no longer wore. I took it, and used it for fabric! I also had leftover fabric from when I made my shorts in fashion class, I used that too.

Well the bag was intimidating at first, but it was surprisingly easy!

Here is the outcome of me sewing my bag! (My mom helped with the button holes as I was clueless)


The tutorial I used didn't have buttons, I changed it up a bit because it was so bland and now it's not!



That polka dotted fabric is actually a pocket! The white fabric is what I had left over from my shorts in fashion class. I also added some Velcro so the bag would close and be a bit secure :)


I made a beautiful bag out of recycled fabric. Really, it didn't cost me a thing, I had a lot of the items already so I didn't need to go out and buy anything.

What else happened today? It's Sunday, we went shopping. We had to go buy my brother some items for his uniform (grey pants, black shoes), thank god I never have to wear a uniform again.

The last stop that we went to before going home was superstore. There my father paid eight dollars for this MASSIVE watermelon (well the biggest one we've had all summer).




I have a picture where I compare how big the watermelon is compared to my head, but I'm not posting it on here. I look plain weird. It's an icky photo, haha :D

Do you see what can be accomplished when the day is not wasted? I'm going to try and wake up early again tomorrow so my day won't be wasted. 8 days until student council, 10 days till school. They better fix my timetable or I'll get into an argument with words. If you want something done, put your foot down and don't give up.

I sleep in late

I mean who cares it summer right? WELL I CARE. I wake up at around 2pm. Meaning I have roughly 8 hours to do stuff with my day. I end up doing nothing. Unless I go somewhere, my summers are so boring. I was going to spend the whole summer in New York, but I had my surgery. Everything happens for a reason. My family is planning a big trip to Europe next summer... that is if all goes well. I'm waiting till the end of august to hand in my resume. I hope I get the job, but I've already been declined once...hopefully this place will accept me!

I am the kind of person who plans ahead. Plans far ahead. I think I'll be going to England come winter break. I don't know, it's just an idea. I have an aunt who lives there, so I can go whenever really. I woke up at 2 pm. So this blog lacks... a lot. I write about my day, but the only thing I did today was stay in my basement gaming.... yea go me...

I got an e-mail from a girl I had e-mailed. She was very polite, how nice of her.

Take that Holoholo Bird

Yes, today I finally beat the bird. It was such a joyous occasion, I celebrated with myself because I was the only person home. I named the bird Java. That's his temporary name. We played with him today. Oh boy, he sure likes to fly, and he likes my brother more than me! This will all change soon...I hope.

The only exciting thing that happened today was when I beat the Holoholo bird.

Oh hail no

Hail is dangerous. If their big enough they can knock you out! It started hailing about 15 minutes ago and they were huge. My mom yelled "my car, MY CAR!" I laughed, but it was serious. My brother wore a helmet outside. He came inside saying and had some in his hand. they were pretty big. Now it's raining. The weather where I live, is very pms-y. I've been playing this game since my surgery. I'm on disk two and I can't beat the bird. It takes me roughly 1 hour and a half to get HALFWAY there. Then I die. I get pissed off. Turn off the console and walk upstairs. It's horrid. I have no life, but this game is addicting. I've already lost today but I'm going to try to beat that bird again today. I'm Level 20 the bird is level 28. How stupid.

This post is late

I am slacking on my blogging lately. It's just I have nothing interesting to write about.

I got my schedule yesterday, I have a spare every other day and an extra spare in semester 2. They didn't put physics or french in my timetable. My timetable is really messed up because of music. I hope that they put me in the classes I requested, if they don't this will ruin how I planned out my classes. I am to write 4 diplomas in grade 11, I don't think french counts as a diploma. Grade 12 is when I take all the extra AP. I've had bad luck with counsellors, I hope this time they actually try to help me. I know they think they are all mighty and powerful but really, you're a school counsellor and you're supposed to help the students. I am bitter about them because at my last school my guidance counsellor screwed me over. In the end you save yourself right? Well then you see your true colours.

For a kid who doesn't like science, I sure was happy I got into chem 20 AP. When I was in grade nine I did regular english 10, my mark was really high and so was my teacher reccomendation that I got into english 20 AP. Ahh I know I sound like a major nerd, but I'm oh so happy.

Not happy about french and physics. I was looking to taking physics the most, and they better put it in my timetable. I'm not one to go down without a fight. Well I'm a pacifist but that doesn't mean I can't argue my case. Hahah I sound like a lawyer :).

I was the kid in grade 9 who was in a different class than the others. I was the only non-uniform kid in my new classes. So I think I know what I'm talking about. Urgh, just thinking about how I was screwed over makes me mad. But in the end, I won and I'm pretty sure I will again. I don't lose, it's just how it is.

Okay I lose in sports, I'm not good. But just try to beat me in swimming. Try me in about 3 months because my knee isn't healed yet and if we were to compete right now I'd be at a disadvantage and you'd win. Which wouldn't be fair, then again lifes not fair but to be fair wait three months.

Zorbing tickets have YET to come!

Okay I'm going to exercise my knee and ice it.

Twas a blessing to see Blessing

I laughed so hard today. I've texted Blessing all summer. We talk almost every single night. It's like she was there, but she isn't. Today she came over and it was amazing to see her. I beat her in scrabble, although we didn't keep score. We just made up random words, it was quite funny to see our reactions. She beat us both in cheat but then I turned around into high gear and beat them both (Them is her and my brother).

Curled my hair with spoodles. I must say the curls turned out much better than if I had done it with a heat tool. They are environmentally friendly and can be used more than once!

It's 5 minutes to midnight, I know this post isn't very long. Too bad, I'll blog again tomorrow.

He remains nameless

I present to you all, my family's first pet. We've had numerous amounts of fish but they don't really count as pets. Today we bought.... a bird!





Isn't he beautiful? His color radiates in our house. He's a little shy now but I am certain in a few days once he gets used to everything he'll adapt much better.

He currently has no name. We need to choose something that fits him perfectly. Anybody have any suggestions?

Just finished watching the Mr. Bean movie. He is hilarious, his idiot ways always make me laugh. I laughed really hard at the part "Estelle this is the last time, or it's over" he dies, I laugh. Tragedies are hilarious to me.

The surgeon who operated on my leg is the absolute best. I will tell you all about it tomorrow when I go see him for my check up.

Until tomorrow!

"It's called the 'Roger's Cup' for a reason"

I watched about 5 minutes of the Roger's Cup today. Ferderer beat Djokovic YAY!
Notice something different? Well you should. I re-did my blog! I also got rid of my DIY section. I had fimled DIY but my camera quality is horrific. If I'm going to put tutorials on here, they need to be made in good quality.

I opened Exile last night, I figured I'd start reading it. The books smells of cigar smoke. It's unbearable. I couldn't open the window beause it was raining heavy last night. I think I'll try reading it tonight. I can't breathe well around smoke, good thing that the weather will be nice tonight! At least I hope so....

Why does the mail hate me? My tickets haven't arrived yet, and neither has my school schedule. I enjoy getting mail, it's like somebody took the time to send you that item! An e-mail is different. I end up trashing them anyways. Letters have more meaning to them than e-mails do. I just wish my mail would arrive quickly-er.

I have a surprise for tomorrow. I hope it all goes as planned. I'm going to recharge my camera and surprise you all tomorrow (hopefully).

The Host - Book Review

I've stated in previous posts that I am a massive bookworm. Today at 12:00 am I decided to start reading The Host as I had checked it out of the library. I had originally delayed reading the book as I was to lazy to pick it up. I borrowed it from a friend last year and I made it half way through and just gave it back to her as the book was boring me. I only checked it out as I wanted to finish the book and get it done with.

Here is my review on The Host.

This is my own personal opinion. Everybody has their own, this is mine.

I've read the Twilight saga, and I loved it. That was a phase in my life when I genuinely thought the books were amazing. The movies came out and ruined it all. They are competing with Harry Potter and they will never win. I was reading reviews on Stephenie Meyer, one person said she can't write. I can see where they are coming from, and I am agreeing for the most part, but I also disagree with it.

I disagree:
  • Her books are about love, so of course she going to target teenage girls, and young women.
  • They're easy to understand, and are written in the point of view of the main character.
(not much I disagree with)

I agree:
  • Each of her books is in the point of view of the main character. It gets annoying with the constant I's.
  • She write about love. This wouldn't be a problem if it there wasn't so much of it.
  • The books have a flat out no action. It made me really mad while reading "The Host" because when something good was about to happen, she would block it out with chapters of nothing. The book was interesting, but there were many times when I had readers block. It got boring for me.
  • Too much dialogue within one's inner self and the characters in the book. I want to read a book to distract myself from all the talking, how can I relax when there is too much dialogue. There was enough talking to drive me insane. The conversations were flat out boring except when they talked about the danger of the Seekers, but that didn't last long as she blocked it with many chapters.
I'm not trying to hate on Meyer, it's just I believe because of all the marketing the books have become much greater than they are set out to be. I love reading books, and usually when the book gets turned into a movie it ruins it for me. Vampires are in these days, I blame twilight. Remember the days when they were scary, now teenage girls are practically begging Robert Pattinson to bite them. What has the world turned to?

Back to my review on "The Host" I seemed to have strayed away from it.

I liked the idea around the book. Parasites living inside a host. These hosts are us humans. The idea of the story was great, I just felt she could've done more with it. It was really boring at times. I was hoping for a massive war between the remaining humans and these Aliens, that never happened. It's all about love. Love is sweet, but not when it is excessive. I had to read the beginning a few times as I wasn't completely understanding it. I skimmed a bit. If you are confused while reading the book, it will all make sense by the time you make it half way through the middle... if you make it that far.

Overall the book was mediocre. If you are a die-hard fan of the series and the author you will love it. I used to be like that, then I started reading books by authors who have talent. Authors who have not sold themselves short for the movies.

I feel like Meyer is trying to be like J.K. Rowling, this will never happen. I still like the Twilight Saga but I am no longer a twi-hard. I am regretting buying the books. It seems anybody can write a book these days.

4 / 5 - For the idea of parasites and hosts.

2 / 5 - For dialogue. There was too much.

3 / 5 - For story line
____________________________

3 / 5 - Overall

Would I reccomend the book?
Sure why not? It gives you something to think about. The idea is a great idea.


Alright that was my first book review! Hope you liked it, or if you didn't that's okay. We each are entitled to our own opinions.

The next book which I am hoping to review for you all is "Exile" By Richard North Patterson.

This book will take me a longer time to read as it is much longer and the font is small! I'm not complaining. The book has had amazing reviews so I am hoping to enjoy the book as much as others have!

Until next time

"You've got so many D's and your twitters hanging out"

One of my close friends Ana, came over today. I hadn't seen her for many months and I was very excited to see her again. We talked, a lot. I can't describe this euphoria. It was great to see a friend from the past :D

I woke up early as I figured I'd clean, my alarm scared me. Isn't that normal?

Not much to report, well actually I don't report. I blog. On blogspot. Because the train is still moving and it would hurt if I jumped off.

I'm going to bed early tonight, as in right now. Yay me.

I post everyday, it's random it's me. Deal with it.

I have blue eyes, brown hair, and I'm european

I have my bestfriend read my blog posts outloud. Her voice is amazing for radio. She has an amazing personality. My gosh, I feel like I'm filling out an application haha.

I enjoy getting in touch with friends from the past. You leave the old behind to make with the new, but what if the new aren't worth it. Well I don't know what I'm saying here, but I have gotten in touch with some friends from the past and I am glad I did!

When I told people I've never texted in my life, they gave me a really odd look. Now the problem is I can't stop texting. I text people early in the morning because of my insomnia.

Blessing texted me, and she was pissed. Apparently I ruined 2 dreams in a 5 minute span. Yes, I have the ability to ruin your dreams, hahah I sound like a monster.

My friend, who I haven't spoken too for over a year is coming over tomorrow, I am very excited. :D


Yesterday's the past. Tomorrow's a mystery. Today is a gift; that's why it's called the present.

I seriously don't know what to name this post

I love when I buy jackets. They last longer than shirts, pants and such. At least for me they do. I bought 2 today. Just in time for the fall. Ahh I've planned ahead.

My insomnia is worsening! This is horrid, and my knee is not getting any better. I've come to realize something today. PEOPLE ARE CHEAP. I say this because I was in an old bookshop and before it said 3 books for 1 and I went ahead and chose 3 books. When I went to pay they told me that offer no longer existed and I looked at the board in fine print it said "Offer does not stand for books with prices" or something like that. I was very mad. I had chosen 3 amazing books and my mom said I could choose one. I ended up just choosing "The Innocent Man" as I had been meaning to read the book for many years. Well I'll start reading it tonight! Ahhh! Yes, I am such a bookworm.

Best product I bought this weekend.

Definately Cetaphil. I've been washing my face with it, and I already am seeing results. Though they are slight, this product is working... well it's a start. I'm a lazy person, so sticking to a routine is hard for me. It will benefit me in the future which is why I need to make good habits now.

Wow, I am yawning, let me take this opportunity to finally go to bed? Maybe I have no clue. I went to bed at 3am let's hope tonight is different :D

My mother's nagging at me. Again.
That's my cue to leave/

I can walk without crutches but it is much harder. I went out with one crutch, you can tell which people were polite. Many people stepped aside, others were so rude and acted as though they were better than the rest of us. I stared holes into their heads as they were intolerable. Some people now a days.... Well I am never going to go walking with one crutch again. It's so much harder and the stress on both my legs is insane!

I've never won a grand prize

Today that all changed. I won 5 tickets to go zorbing. I screamed oh so loud that my mom, brother and his friend all came to see what the big commotion was. To all who don't know what zorbing is. Basically you are a human in a giant hamster ball rolling down a hill.


At first my excitement quickly turned into sadness as I thought I wouldn't be able to go zorbing because of my recent knee surgery. I then did some research and found out you are strapped in! YAY! This means that I won't have any resistance on my knee, I am going zorbing! I am very excited. It will be a great experience, a great way to end the summer. I'm way to far ahead of myself. The surgeon needs to allow me to do it. I will make him give me the A-OKAY. Which he most likely will say because I am going to work so hard and strengthen my knee. Now that I have won the grand prize I'm not letting this up !

So I have insomnia. This isn't going to be good. It takes me so many hours to go to bed. I usually fall asleep between 2am and 3am. My body is exhausted my mind keeps racing. I also can't sleep in a good position because of my knee. Argh, I suffer. Actually I don't I'm just really dramatic. I don't know why I didn't choose drama, I would excel in it. Oh that's right stage fright, yet I can play music in front of people? ODD.

My brother went to Calaway Park today with his friends, then his friend came over to our house and they played ps3. I on the other hand organized the china cabinet. I didn't take any before and after pictures but I must say my work is astonishing. I love interior design. It's amazing what I can do to a space. I think I'm going to find a part time job at some store that sells home items as it will be put to good use!

Who else has been watching re-runs of Oprah? Well I have, and I am SO SAD. I can't believe the queen of daytime is LEAVING! Good thing Miz O is getting her own cable show.

Let's see how tomorrow goes :D

I hate sorority life

On of my closest friends, begged me to join her in sorority life as she could gain a house member. I only joined sorority life because I am a good friend. I had no idea what would become of me. The game sorority life is pointless, it's not fun. In fact every time i play the game my computer has  massive spazz and the fan goes LOUD. Urgh. I dealt with it as it became addicting and I made I was leveling up. Those stupid brownie points, stupid Rory. Stupid Stupid STUPID Rory. My friend is probably reading this laughing. Well as soon as the clock strikes midnight I am removing the application off my facebook. I'm removing all the people who added me to join my house as I have NO idea who you all are. I went through all the trouble of blocking them from seeing any part of my page. Please spare yourselves, do not join sorority life. I lost sleep over stupid Rory. I sound like a loser. Way to spend your time on a stupid game.

WELL NO MORE. My friend had to console me, she is also facepalming herself asking her why did I ever drag her into this. Way to create a monster Blessing

I'm not street but I do what I gotta doooo! I am loving Cobra Starship. I am also loving FAME. It's giving me inspiration for lookbook. I've made this whole sketchbook of outfits, all of which I don't own, but that's not the point. The point is I have established creativity through FAME.


I am stressing about over my article. I am HOPING it gets printed. I blog online, I could post the article on here rather than their website. Fingers crossed that it makes it in print. I like print, it's more professional, and seems more recognized.

Like you were printed? Yep that's me. As apposed to, oh I read that online. Yea... the vibes are different. At least I think so.



Progress: I am starting to walk much better. I can walk without my crutches for a little bit, it's really awkward how I walk. My arms wave around haha. I keep a crutch with me at all times. I hate the knee exercises but I must do them if I want to get better.

Until tomorrow's awkward rampage :D

Remember my name

I'm gonna live forever, I'm gonna learn how to fly; High. I feel it coming together, People will see me and cry; Fame. I'm gonna make it to heaven, Light up the sky like a flame; Fame!


Fame is amazing, the movie, the music, it's so inspiring.

So I got amazing feedback from that article I wrote. The editor told me that my writing is solid. I screamed, I love it when people compliment my writing. Writing is one of my absolute biggest passions in the world. I work really hard on my work. In my grade 10 English class I worked the hardest in the whole class. I say this because I stayed after school to discuss my work, I always re-submitted assignments, I worked very hard. English is not my first language but I am way passed fluent. I work so hard in English class because one of my dream careers is to be the editor-in-chief of my own magazine. I enjoy writing, I enjoy spreading my opinions, with the rest of the world.

I used to be a very shy person, I always kept to myself. One night I was lying in my bed, and I had a massive epiphany. My life was boring, how would I have fun if I just kept to myself? I decided to create a blog, just as Betty (from Ugly Betty) did. I never realized how fun blogging would be. I'm posting about my life to the world wide web. With this comes precautions. Anybody can read it, it could fall in the wrong hands. These things lingered in my mind and then I realized who cares? I don't post things that are offensive, to be honest my blog is more of a personal thing. I'm not getting paid, I don't have many followers, it's just me.

Some people write in their diaries, I prefer to blog.


GUESS WHO LEFT THE HOUSE AFTER 8 DAYS SPENT INDOORS?
What you don't know?
It was me silly! It was fun breathing FRESH air. I almost got attacked by a mosquito but it was all worth it. I went to the library picked up some music (FAME and Cobra Starship), picked up a few how-to magazines and checked out 2 books. I also bought 2 books. Yes I achieved great things today, at the library. I was dressed horribly though. The only pants that cover my bandages and don't hurt are sweat pants. I broke a rule, I wore sweat pants in public. HAVE MERCY ON ME! hahaha I believe my mother is nagging at me to go do my exercises, until tomorrow's epic day.

Wow I used the word epic to describe the word day, well okay let's keep it there.

Originality

Or lack of I should say. I am disappointed with today's art. Today's music especially. There is one particular artist I cannot stand. B.O.B. . First of all, his rapping sucks, if you're going to compete with artists like Drake, Eminem, Kanye and Lil' Wayne (just naming some) you have to step up your game. Every single that I've ever heard from him has pissed me off. I can't stand airplanes, I can't stand nothing on you, and now he has some new single with another artist. You can put talent on a song but that doesn't cover your bad rapping. The songs are so overplayed, I think that the world needs to be exposed to talent, REAL talent.

A couple weeks ago I found an artist, who had the absolute amazing voice. Her songs had meaning to them, I could relate to them. Everybody can relate to Taylor Swift's music, but she sings about love and break-up. What if you've never been in love? Well then you can't relate to it! Anyways... the talented artist's name is Marina, she's from Marina and the Diamonds. If you scroll down to the very bottom of my page you will see my play list with some of the music I like. I have three of her songs as she is splendid to listen to. My favorite song by her is Oh No!. I love it so much because the lyrics describe me so much. It's not a sappy love song, its about life. Life isn't sappy, it's wonderful. You should all love life, it's taken me many years to realize that. Sounds like Oprah has finally gotten to me.

I'm feeling quite sad. I had bought all these wonderful clothes and I can't wear ANY of them. I can't wear any jeans or pants of any sort, it rubs against my bandages. I had bought a beautiful dress, I wore it looked in the mirror and frowned. Bandages are SO ugly. I've accepted that until these bandages come off, and that horrid scar clears up a bit I won't be able to wear all the clothes I bought. I'm on house arrest. I haven't left the house in 1 week. I feel really odd. My brother has been hanging out with friends all summer. My best friends aren't even close to home. One spends his summers on the farm, the other in the biggest water park in North America. My other friend had summer school, and she got 93% congrats to you Blessing. Now my parents are nagging me to go to summer school too :/ TOO LATE NOW haha.



In the words of Marina.
I AM NOT A ROBOT
and
NEITHER ARE YOU!

Let's quote great music

"These people are really weird
And they're giving me the fear
Just because you know my name
Doesn't mean you know my game
All of us are in your face
And whisper I'm in the wrong place
Is there more to lose than gain
If I go on my own again, on my own again"

"One track mind, one track heart
If I fail, I'll fall apart
Maybe it is all a test
Cause I feel like I'm the worst
So I always act like I'm the best"


"I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life.
Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives.
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars.
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars."



I'll expand to this, as great songs have great lyrics.

TV has gotten VERY dramatic, it's very entertaining. :D

The cautious don't live

THAT'S WHY MY LIFE IS SO BORING.


Time: 5:20 pm. Location: Computer room. Mood: unsatisfied.

I have come to realize that I am very boring. Despite my best interests to maintain a fun and enjoyable life, I find myself yawning at the most random times. I'd hate to say that my surgery has caused me to become so boring but I find it is true. I can't do anything without the help of my parents. It's the worst feeling in the world. I know I had surgery and all, but I don't like being treated like a baby. They mean well but they should stop it. I was watching Princess Diaries, and there was a part that I particularly was fond of. I can't remember how it goes exactly but it went along the lines of "The brave may not live long, but the cautious don't live at all". A light went on off in my head, and I knew exactly what that meant. I was too cautious, I was very needy. I'm going to change that.

I don't ask my parents for help anymore. They insist on helping me, I yell at them. When I'm hungry I get up and I slowly walk towards the kitchen. It takes me about 5 trips until I can sit down at the table and eat, but I am getting exercise right?

The point of the random post is that, you can do it. I was doing my exercises today and the pain was unbearable. I'm on phase one on the recovery, it's day 6, and well I'm healing VERY slowly. I told my dad I can't, he told me that he never wants to hear me say that again, because I can't doesn't exist.

EMPOWERMENT.  Hahaha sounds like a Rapport add. But the difference is, I didn't spend $700 to learn that I can do it, I got a free lesson from life.

I'm sewing a doll. He/She will make their debut soon, when i finish sewing them.

Until then, you can hide in the car, or you can walk to the front door.
That made no sense to you, but perfect sense to me.
