Unwraped and NaNoWriMo

Three performances down and one left to go. This play really can’t get get done quick enough, but it has been a some-what fun experience. The shows are going well, which I’m surprised about because the last dress rehearsal we had, we didn’t know the last scene at all. I also found out that one girl I became friends with during the show is eleven. Honestly, I thought she was 14 or 15. I knew she was younger than me, but I had no idea that she was eleven, she seemed so much older. A lot of my friends have been coming to see the show which is encouraging, but someone came to the show today who I did not expect to see at all.

My friend in school thinks that a certain boy – who we’ll call Joe- is very attractive, and to put it in best terms, she sweats his life. I happen to think that Joe has somewhat distinct features, one of them being how pink his face is. It always looks like he has just come in from the cold or that he is blushing. I constantly brought this up whenever my friend talked about how hot she thought he was, so now we refer to Joe as pink-faced kid; and he was there tonight. I don’t know why he was there because as far as I know he isn’t related to anyone in the show, and I’ve never spoken to him in my life, but his whole family was there with him too.

I think I’m going to start NaNoWriMo this year, which is when you write an entire 50,000 word novel in one month. I’m not sure how this is going to turn out, I’m very busy so I have a bad feeling about it, but it’s worth a shot. I’m thinking of writing about an erie dystopia like in The Village. Who knows if it will work out, but if/when I quit you blog readers will be the first to know. Now I’m going to try to sleep, which should be harder than usual because the rain is banging on my window like a fist would.

Without The Internet

Apartment Red uploaded the video I put above, and it got me thinking what would MY life be like without the internet, and I decided to write a list.

I wouldn’t be writing this blog
I wouldn’t have as many friends as I do
Maybe I would have more friends than I do because I would be more social
I wouldn’t have a permanent indent on my wrists from where I put my hand while typing.
I would have better grades.
I wouldn’t have a twitter.
I would watch more TV.
I would be overweight (You need two hands to type, so you can’t eat while typing!).
I wouldn’t know about some of my favorite authors.
I wouldn’t play the ukulele
I wouldn’t be as musical as I am
I wouldn’t know how to make or edit a movie.
I would be doing homework now instead of talking to people I’ve never met.

I wouldn’t know as many fun facts as I do.

FF) Snails can sleep up to 3 days.

Spirit Week

Before I get into talking about spirit week I just want to talk a little bit about my night. Tonight I went over to my mothers house for dinner, which I don’t usually do but my brother and I decided to. Now, I don’t mind going over there, it’s just a few towns away so it’s hard to get rides to hang out with my friends. I also have a step father and three step brothers, and they’re all nice. The only issue with that is, because I don’t go over to their house often, when I am there they constantly want to be hanging out with me. Now I don’t mind hanging out with them, but I need my own space and they don’t seem to understand that. I know it’s partially my fault for not going out to my mothers very often, but I’ve talked to my mom about it and she still doesn’t get it, and often encourages them to hang out with me.

But on lighter note, spirit week is this week. This years spirit week isn’t its normal length because we had a long weekend. The days we have this year are Military Day, Superhero/Villain Day, then Hallway Day and finally Blue and White day. I think Military day is a really bad idea for a day because you can’t really get creative with it, and I don’t have anything military so there isn’t anything I can really do. I’m very excited for Superhero and Villain day because that does give you a lot of room to be creative. Hallway day is always the best day. What happens on hallway day is that each grade is given a theme and they decorate the hallway according the the theme. In the past we’ve had ones such as Harry Potter, The Ghetto and The 80’s. This year the freshmen have Southern California, I don’t remember what the sophomores have, the Juniors have Junkyard and the Seniors have Space. I’m a Junior and I’m excited for ours because that’s going to be a ton of fun to make. I think the freshmen theme isn’t very good at all, but it doesn’t matter anyways because they everyone always tears down and ruins the freshmen hallway before judging time. Then we have blue and white day, which are our schools coulours. That day everyone goes all out, and we have a pep rally at the end of the day. After friday there is the football game, were I’m singing the national anthem along with my chorus. Saturday night is the homecoming dance, which I had plans to go to until I talked with Erin.

Erin is my friend who I met during All-state chorus last year, and we hit it off. We haven’t seen each other in a long time and last night we were on skype until 1:30 in the morning watching the same movie three times in a row. On saturday night Erin and I are going to go see an Agatha Christie murder mystery put on in Connecticut, which I think will be much more fun than Homecoming.

Now I’m going to go read a bit more of The Lost Symbol and get ready for bed. I’m wearing a large off-white jacket right now because my room is freezing! I’m not going to proof read this blog… as if I ever do.

I Live A Sad Life.

I’m sitting here with heavy eyes, waiting until midnight. It’s not new years eve, and there is nothing special happening at midnight, but there is something happening. My pumpkins are able to be harvested on Farmville. Yes, I gave in to the latest facebook craze around two weeks ago and have been playing it far too much for my own good. To top it all off, when I’m not playing Farmville, I’m usually thinking about Farmville. I think it’s reached a point where it’s not just a fun video game to play to past time, but it’s part of my life; which has happened before in Animal Crossing. I know I talk about Animal Crossing too much in my blog as it is, but it’s such a great game. I’m not sure if I can say this, but I might enjoy Farmville more than Animal Crossing, and if you knew me you would know what it means for me to say that.

I just finished The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and it is one of the best books I have read in my life. I finished it in one day, and at the end I felt so empty inside, but I also felt so many emotions. No book has ever had the effect on me. I just started The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown, but I might have to put that on hold and go buy Catching Fire, which is the sequel to The Hunger Games. Usually I wouldn’t stop a book after starting unless I didn’t like it – which is not the case with The Lost Symbol – but I find myself reading Dan Browns book and still thinking about The Hunger Games. I need more closure than the first book gave me, and I don’t think I’ll stop thinking about it until I get that.

This blog needs to take up more time because I still have half an hour to kill.

Last weekend my town had a County Fair which we hold every year, which sounds really dorky and outdated but it’s really enjoyable. There are craft tents and games for children to play, and it’s really just a great place for the whole family to go. The issue this year was that I seemed to be at the age where the games for the little kids don’t interest me, but the crafts are too expensive and I really have no use for them, so I don’t have anything to do at the fair. I know I could just not go, but I’ve gone to the fair every year since I can remember, and do not go would be really strange for me.

So I’m always afraid to complain about people that I know in real life on my blog, because I don’t know who would read it. I know that if I kept a private journal then I could say whatever I want and I wouldn’t have to worry about someone finding out, but that takes away from half the fun. I like writing something and then just letting it out, but when I let it out I can’t filter who gets to read it, no matter how much I want to. I also don’t want to start a side blog, because that would just be too much stuff going on at once, and I feel this blog would loose it’s purpose. Maybe I just won’t care who reads it. I wouldn’t say anything harsh about anyone, I would just say what they need to hear. And I’m rambling.

I don’t like to go back and delete things in my blog either, which is why my posts might seem to go on for a while, but this blog is kind of just for me to have a place to gather my thoughts and then put them out there for whomever wants to read them, and if they don’t want to put up with my babbling then they can exit out.

My eyelids are so heavy but I still have 20 minutes to get through, but I won’t make you suffer with me.

Still Have Two Eyeballs.

Rain Rain Rain (:

All is good in the eyeball field after my last post, everything went fine with the MRI. I just figured I would let you know so that you don’t think that I’m in the hospital with an eyepatch. It’s currently pouring outside, which is a change because it hasn’t rained here in a while. This rain came on the best day possible, because right now I’m supposed to be working, but due to the weather, I don’t have to! There isn’t much more going on in my life except that it’s now October, which is my favourite month! I need to go out and buy a new jacket, because I don’t have a warm jacket anymore.

So this is just a mini-blog telling you about my amazing eyeballs, which I have two of.

FF) Having two eyeballs is better than one.
