Lost in Translation

That is a great movie by the way. If i were to be lost in any city, I would choose to be lost in a beach town. Everyone would be chill and i could go to the beach everyday. It would be excellent.

CAPS PARTY! MALLORY TOLD ME TO WRITE IN ALL CAPS, SO I AM. LAST BLOG EVER! IN A WAY, ITS REALLY SAD. NO MORE FUNNY BLOG TOPICS TO RANT ABOUT. WHENEVER I THINK OF SILLY BLOG IDEAS, BECAUSE I DO THAT SOMETIMES, ILL LET YOU KNOW. :)

El Presidente

If i were the president of the United States of America, I don't know what I would do. That would be the absolute worst job in the entire universe. The whole world is watching your every move, and whether people agree with you or not, they will blame you when things go wrong. Within the first year, the president already looks significantly older because of all of the stress. I admire the person who is brave and courageous enough to take on the gigantic responsibility. Just know, that person will never be me.

Snow Cone

I have been craving a snow cone so bad lately. Hmmm what flavor am I? I don't really eat snow cone's very often so im not super familiar with all the flavors. I would say i'm lemon flavor. Not because im sour, but because people always tell me I would be the color yellow, if that makes any sense. I love anything thats lemon flavored, so i'm that. :)

Free Write Friday

AH today is the last day to work on the last issue of my last year in high school. aw so sad. Ive been so busy lately that i didnt even realize the year is almost over. Last night was the newspaper banquet and it was pretty fun. The yearbook kids were a little stuffy, and we all wanted to have fun. But it wasn't a big deal. The awards were funny and it was nice to see everyone get recognized. Anyways, thats all. I need to work on my spread now.

Quote

If i could choose any quote to describe me, i would choose...

Cliffhanger! To be continued...

If today were your last day...

If today was my last day on earth, i would definitely not be sitting in this class writing this blog. I would out in the world doing crazy things. I would take care of everything that was bothering me and apologize for things that I felt guilty for so i could die in peace. I would do whatever i wanted to do, even if that means sitting and crying, because I might actually be sad. Everyone always says they would go crazy and have so much fun before they die, and i agree with making the most of the last moments, but i think i would be sad. Im sure there would be a pretty long period of time where i just sit there in shock and sadness and wonder why my life is coming to such a sudden end. and then i would suck it up and go wild.

Heroes and Hot Air Balloons

If my hero asked me to join them in a hot air balloon quest, I would be ECSTATIC. Problem is, i don't know who my hero is. I've never really had someone that i looked up to so much that they were my hero. My hero is myself. Nah, that would be weird. Who is my hero?? Instead of a hot air balloon quest, I'm going to go on a quest to figure out who my hero is. To the batmobile!

What is love?

Love. Love is the existential equivalent of chocolate cake. Its absolutely magnificent. okay, that was a bunch of baloney. I can't really create a definition for love. I think people overuse the word love and attach it to things that don't quite make sense. Love is an emotion that leaves you full and empty at the same time. Love can be found, it can be lost, it can be taken for granted, and it can be unrequited. Love is messy. Whether you love a person or love your glasses, the emotions you feel are irreplacable. Love is...love. That is all.

Candy Bar

I wrote the journal today! if i was a candy, i would be a crunch bar. i would be that because im awesome and exciting. a crunch bar is yummy chocolate and exciting crunchy pieces. and its one of my favorite candy bars soo it fits me. ughh this is a difficult journal. i shouldve wrote a different one.

etirW eerF

Free write today! omg i am so tired. I have spent the entire day running around doing stuff for theater. Im the only person in the whole theater department who knows how to do the lighting (other than the teacher of course) and we only have today to do it. Agh!! I got out of 1st period and half of 3rd to work on everything and I'm worn out. Thats 3 hours of running up and down ladders adjusting really hot lights and staring at the stage, and were not even done. Tomorrow are the tech rehearsals for ALL the shows, so we HAVE to finish. Im so tired and i don't want to work on it any more, but i don't have a choice. I even scheduled a rehearsal for tonight and i want to cancel it, but i can't afford to have a day off. aldkghajsdhgasdhgkjasf stupid play! i don't mean that. i know it will all pay off in the end.

Video Game LIfe

If my life was a video game, i don't know if it would be very fun. It would kind of be uneventful. The villian would be a human version of stress. Stress would be a huge monster that chases the character throughout the game. The end result would be the hero defeating the stress monster and winning the game.

Root Beer Cows

If cows gave root beer instead of milk, i would be upset. I strongly dislike root beer, and even though milk isn't the best, its better than root beer. With no milk, we would all be calcium deficient and everyone would osteoperosis, you know that disease where people have bone loss. If it really rained cats and dogs, we would all be bruised and scratched. Cats hate water and dogs, and i have a feeling they would take it out on people. The world wouldn't be too great.

Life Without Apple?!?

If we lived in a magical world without iPods and Macs and all of Apple's products, things would be much more...focused. Without all the portable distractions, people would be able to focus on things they really need to accomplish. People wouldn't constantly have music playing in their ears, and instead could carry on actual conversations with other people. I think i secretly wish that all this technology didn't exist. I feel like things are so impersonal. Don't get me wrong, i could live without my iPod or computer, but it would be nice to see how things would be if they were just never invented at all. Maybe ill go on a secret crusade and destroy all technology and return humans to a time of real interaction. ...maybe. :)

Wealthy Men

"The wealthy man is the man who is much, not the one who has much."

To me, this quote means that being rich in personality is more important than being rich with money. Money cannot buy you friends, well, at least not friends that like you for who you are. I guess you could pay people to be your friend, but they would only like you because of your money. This quote portrays an important life lesson that one's values are more precious than possessions.

Change in School

If i could change one thing about school, it would be having less responsibilities. School has been pretty fun lately, but having to get so much stuff done makes me really stressed and tired. I just want to enjoy the rest of the year but i feel like i have so many responsibilities. Im just burnt out and exhausted. Hopefully i can take care of things and balance everything.

Unoriginal Free Write Title

Free write today! i don't know what to write about. Prom is tomorrow and everyone is talking about it. Literally everyone. Im kind of excited and im kind of worried it won't be very fun. Im trying to just be relaxed about the whole thing and just go with the flow. The more stressed i get about stuff the less fun it is. Im excited to wear my pretty dress!!! The best part about the whole night will be getting to see everyone dressed all fancy schmancy. Can't wait. :)

Zombies!

Hey thats a cool song. but this journal isnt about that awesome song, its about a zombie apocalypse. If zombies invaded, i would most likely try to flee as far away as possible. But if that didn't work out, i would probably die. They would probably get me and eat me or whatever is that zombies do. AGHUSHGDGSFJVBHHH i HATE zombies so much! if they were coming after me that would be the worst thing in the entire world. i don't even wanna think about it.

The Staff on a Desert Island

If this class was stuck on a deserted island, that would be insane. Literally. I think this entire class would crack, slowly but surely. First to go crazy would go definitely be elizabeth. I think she would be so excited to be on a desert island that she would start to act uncivilized. She would probably tear apart all her clothes, rub dirt all over herself and let out ridiculous war cries. Even if she was just kidding, the rest of the class would stay far away from her, or kill her all together. Or we lose her as she runs around the entire island. The last to survive would probably be Lindsay. I think she would be the second to crack, and ultimately end up killing everyone.

I made up an entire story and timeline of how each person spends their final on the island. But its too long to write on here! so you should totally ask me about after you read this! :)

Color!

If i could only see one color for the rest of my life, i would choose blue. blue is my favorite color and there are so many different shades. its a pretty color and its nice on the eyes. Blue would be a great color to see for the rest of my life. I know this blog is short, but i don't really know how else to explain my color choice. Blue is awesome. end of story.

Bucket List

Three things that I hope to do before i die are....oh jeez i don't know. I want to swim with sharks, travel outside of the U.S., and write for rolling stone magazine. Ughhhhh that im not going to be able to do any of that because i feel like dying right here and now. i feel so sick ewwwwww. ok my computer is sleeping so i have to go.

Spring Break

This spring break was pretty fun. I didnt do anything spectacular or go anywhere amazing, but i had fun at home. Most of the week i just relaxed and enjoyed the time off. I watched a lot of good movies, read a lot, planted flowers, bought new clothes, got a prom dress, and some more random stuff. Overall, it was a pretty good break. :)

Today Is A Great Day

Its the last day before spring break and im so excited! it doesnt feel like its spring break though because i still have so much stuff today. The one act is tonight! opening night was yesterday and it went really well. There wasn't a very big audience so hopefully there will be tonight. Wellll i want to keep writing but everyone has gathered next to me to plan the potty press, so i have to go. So long, farewell, goodbyeeeeeee.

Theme Song For Today

There's not a specific song that would be the theme for today, but i do have a song that has been stuck in my head alllll dayyyyyy. Pretty Visitors by Arctic Monkeys has been playing in my head all day. I listened to it two days ago and all the sudden its stuck in my head. Its off Arctic Monkeys new album Humbug, which i have to admit is not as good as i had hoped. Too be completely honest, its kinda of annoying. Its so different from their other albums because they started to play slow, sixties style music, which is ok but its not what i expected. When i was listening to it two days ago i realized that i can't even get through 5 songs without getting annoyed. Its quite disappointing.

Best Memory So Far

My best memory from this school year so far is....i don't know. Should i include memories outside of school? or only in school? Either way, i don't think i could narrow it down to just one. This year has been so fun and im sure it will keep getting better. Hopefully. :) djdjsdjdjfjffkjdffjsdjfjfkjsdfdjsfjlakssjflkjfjferoiwoiermnNCCndncm,jafjeiwworeoiuwerjdjlkanfnvior

That is all my best memories combined into one epic word. And thats all i have to say about that. :)

Luxuries or Necessities

I think cell phones originated as luxury, but our society has changed so much that it has become a necessity. If anyone doesn't have a cell phone, it seems unnatural and strange. I got a cell phone in 7th grade and ive slowly become more addicted. I don't necessarily need it since there are people all around me with phones that i can use, but i feel like i can't function without it. I only remember 2 days that ive ever left my phone at home and i felt like i was going through withdrawal. So, going back to the journal topic, i don't think cell phones are a luxury or a necessity; they are an addiction.

P.S. today is british bursday in newspaper so read this journal with a british accent. :)

Foooooooood

I cannot live without chocolate chip cookies. They make my life complete. Chocolate chip cookies make me happy when im having a bad day, like today. I think im gonna buy some cookies at lunch. awwww but the cookies aren't very good. I never thought there was such a thing as a bad cookie, until the school starting selling those gross ones. leave it to the school to find a way to ruin the best thing in the whole world.

Impact

In what ways have i recently impacted others' lives? Hm i don't really know. If i have impacted someone's life, they haven't let me know, but i think its better that way. I don't need to know if i have impacted their life, id rather just think that i did. then i don't have to know if my actions made no impact whatsoever. Id rather think that i can make an impact on someone's life by just being myself and not going out of my way to be overly inspirational. This journal isn't saying what i want it to. Im trying to make a point, but i can't find the words. Hopefully, you can tell what im trying to say.

Paparazzi

I don't think i would want to have my life constantly in the spotlight. I used to think it would be fun to have all that attention, but now that im older i realized that would not be so fun. I don't want everyone knowing every detail of my life if i have no idea who they are. I want to be able to choose who knows things about my life, not just who ever chooses to look me up.

Free Write. Again.

Another free write today! everyone is talking about the olympics and i feel left out because i never get a chance to watch them. No one in my house cares about the olympics except me so i barely ever watch it. Figure skating is my favorite so hopefully its not over and i can watch it. I think it would be amazing to go to the olympics. Not to participate, but just to watch. It would be amazing to be in the same place as people from all over the world. Did you know the new cowboys stadium can hold about 20,000 more people than the stadium that held the opening olympic ceremony? More people can go to the cowboys game than to the olympics, which includes the entire world. I think thats, for lack of a better word, disgusting. Hate is a strong word, but i strongly dislike Texas.

Childhood Dreams

When I was little i really wanted to be a marine biologist. I know thats a really weird career goal for a fifth grader to have, but i was a pretty weird kid. I used to think science and marine life was really interesting, but i think that only lasted for a little while. My dreams changed a lot. My dad used to tell me stories about when he used to go scuba diving in Florida and it really sparked my interested in the water. I still think the ocean is really interesting, but my dreams have changed since then.

Time Managment

To manage my time better i could stay on task and be more focused to get things done by the deadlines. i know i need to work on staying focused in class, and im going to work hard to make sure everything gets done on time.

Change

If i could change anything in the world right now, i would end all injustices in the world. So basically, i would want world peace. too bad, im not running for miss america. Thats such a lame answer but i don't know what else to say. World peace would work out for everyone and everything and we could just live in a big world of happiness. Yayyyyyyyy...........

Riddle Me This

Whats a word that is one syllable, but when you add one letter to the end, it becomes three syllables? WHATTT??? i do not like riddles. This one doesn't make any sense and i can't figure it out.

So...Free Write! Mallory made a powerpoint yesterday and each slide was a different reason she hated someone. It was a joke, and everyone in slide show thought it was funny. It was soooo hilarious! Now shes showing it to elizabeth and its making me laugh all over again. bahahaha. Fun stuff.

Award

if i could win any award, it would definitely want to win an Oscar. you might already because i did this journalism last year. i remember. If i could win an award that doesn't exist, i would definitely want to win the Lifetime Awesomeness Award. The only downside to that is i have to wait until i have had an full lifetime of being awesome. Unfortunately, 17 years of being awesome isn't enough to count for a lifetime. But continuing to be awesome shouldn't be too much of a challenge for me. :)

Free Write

O.M.G. all this drama is driving me crazy. Everyone has problems, including me. Yesterday was auditions for my senior directed show. All three directors casted their shows and because of the limited number of actors, we have to share. After the decision was made, one of the directors called me to ask if she could take one of my actors to make her show better. I was like, "um, No." It made me so angry that she thought her play was more important than mine. she thinks shes better than everyone and im sick of it. I sick of everyone sucking up to her when shes really a selfish, uncaring buttface. now shes not even at school and she didn't post her cast list. So now all these kids waiting to see if the got a part have to wait all weekend. i was ready to be deal with her today and shes totally avoiding school and everyones phone calls. whatever. my play is gonna be awesome and if hers sucks, its not my problem.

Apple Tablet

the new apple tablet looks like something from futuristic movies. a touch screen computer? thats awesome! i don't really know how it will affect print journalism. it will probably add to the other factors that are slowly eliminating print journalism. Now that people can take the computer everywhere, they can report on news as it is happening and publish almost immediately. the immediacy of online news will make print news seem not up to date because it can't be published as fast. Unfortunately, print journalism will probably be a thing of the past.

Ideal iPhone App

Hey this is the journal i made up! My perfect iphone app would let me read people minds. it would let you know the thoughts of anyone sitting around you. But you could choose whose thoughts you want to read, not just anyone in the area. And it also could let you send anonymous telepathic messages! omg that would be the coolest thing ever. i wish this app was real. except i don't have an iPhone or iTouch so that wouldnt work out.

My Life as a T.V. Show

If my life was a t.v. show, i have no idea what it would be called. First of all, it would be a totally boring show and i have no idea who would watch it. well, actually i would. I think it would be pretty funny. all my friends would make hilarious characters. It could be like scrubs and i could narrate my life and i act out what goes on in my head. That would make a good show. Ahhh but i don't know a name! if you think of any good names please let me know. Maybe ill make my life into a t.v. show.

Pride

Something that ive done to make me proud of myself is when i made dinner for my family last thursday night. I never, ever, ever cook food, unless its made in the toaster or microwave or is a frozen pizza. But on thursday i decided i would help my mom out and cook dinner. The only problem was, i had no idea how to cook pork chops. So i called my mom and she gave me directions and i took notes while she was talking. so lame, i know. But i was determined to make a real dinner. Fortunately, my terriyaki pork chops came out delicious and the broccoli was good too. Even though it seems like such a small thing, making dinner for everyone made me feel really accomplished. Now i think ill cook dinner more often. :)

Resolution

I have a lot of goals for the new year. My resolutions are to not sleep in any class anymore, to apply to college by the end of the week, to start working out (i say that every year ;]), to get a job, to be more independent so i don't have to rely on my parents so much and to not get really overwhelmed and give up when i feel stressed out. Whew. i told you i made a lot of goals. Hopefully i can achieve all of these. I have to make sure i don't forget all about these by the time february rolls around so that this year can be successful. :)
