I'm Moving!

I'm moving to a different blogging site. It's too difficult for me to visit this site every day like I'd like to. Between logging into all my accounts with my yahoo! mail and then having to sign into my gmail to get here which logs me out of my actual youtube account and into some random gmail youtube account... It's just a lot and frustrating. Plus it seems like no matter what I do this blog just has a mysterious, dark, awkward feeling due to the page set up and just... The way the layout of the page is. I'm looking for something new this year that better reflects my personality so I'm moving to Thoughts.com.

I hope to better my presence in the blogosphere with this site move! Here is where I'm going:

1/13/13

I am already sick of school e.e

Anyways. Let's see... I need to organize my thoughts...

Okay we'll start here. So first week back to Glee (YAY), and we all got slammed for not having our practice sheets, but the ONE FRIEND who is NEVER prepared for anything had his today =.= it was embarrassing. Our punishment for not bringing our practice sheets is a duet. Yup. Everyone who didn't bring their practice sheets got stuck in a duet with someone else who didn't bring their practice sheets. I got paired with Day. I love her, and she's a great singer. But... She sings so soft... And I sing so... Loud. I don't want to overpower her so that she can't be heard (thus making me look like an attention whore) and I not only sound horrible trying to sing softly but I can't. When I sing softly my voice practically disappears. It's just because of the voice I have :S And then get this: The only one who DID bring his practice sheet, and he WANTED to do a duet! *facepalm* so he got stuck in a trio with Day and myself. This is a little better, I mean, Flo sings rather nicely in a group. But the problems overflow from this like a fountain. Day and Flo decided without me that we were going to the the Pokemon theme e.e I can't sing the pokemon theme. At all. The notes are too... Like... Normal. And I only know the first verse. PLUS someone in our trio that volunteered to make colorcoded lyrics (everyone in the trio has to sing a solo) and he hasn't gotten them to me yet. And has had no contact with me, even when I tried to contact him. So as if it weren't bad enough I'm singing with like, the least powerful (that's not offensive >:l ) singers in Glee, we're singing a song I can't sing. Plus, like, this weekend would have been perfect to practice. I was home alone, like, all weekend. But I didn't have the coded lyrics so I couldn't TT-TT Now I'll have to try to practice while my parents are home. My house is so tiny everyone can hear me because I sing so loudly. I hate that. I don't know if I'm good or not and I don't want my mom in the other room thinking I'm stupid for putting so much effort into singing. Which she will. She's always been like that. Oh yeah. And the duets are due by THIS next wednesday... Tengoku no haha shin'ainaru...

I enjoyed most of my week. Or tried to anyways. I honestly don't feel like bitching anymore XD But my weekend went pretty well, too. I'm excited. I'm almost completely finished learning Romeo and Cinderella. Which, when I first started, looked like the hardest dance ever. And this is the hardest dance ever. LOL. I keep spelling "hardest" heardest for some reason XD anyways, I'm so unbelievably proud of myself for conquering this dance.

Here are some pictures from this week, & explain each of them, since my friends are fahktards:

 Dani (our token football fan) tackled Nick (the guy he's wrapped around) who proceeded to fall on his ass :3
 Emmanuel and Juanito~
 Gaby & Flo <3 I don't know what I'd do if these two weren't in my life
 Annika, Gaby, and Flo returning from their Lunchquest - Anni is flailing at me
 Did some roleplaying Friday :l
And Annika telling us she has not yet lost her finger in an archery accident (that's how it started you know)

6/1/13

I'm writing this blog in the morning because I plan on being very busy tonight.

Yesterday I began working on a dance for the song "Ah! It's A Wonderful Cat Life". I'm sure it already has a dance, but I probably wouldn't like it XP I've also been practicing Romeo and Cinderella really hard. A couple days ago Amaris recruited me for a 50 dance video collaboration. She didn't want to do it by herself so she asked me to do it with her. I'm nervous because out of the 50 dances, I only know maybe 5 or 6 of them. We'll be spending some time learning the dances and then putting them together at the end. I'm happy to be a part of a project like this. I love big projects. 

On a different note, I've decided to make this a photo blog. So basically I'm going to take pictures of things in my day and put them in the blog. I like taking pictures of the things around me, and maybe the pictures will make my blog more entertaining for anyone that happens to come across it. Included in this blog are two pictures of my dog Lucy in our backyard. It's a bit of a hassle plugging my phone into the computer just to transfer a couple pictures, but it'll be worth it in the end. After all, this blog is for me to look back on later on in life, and pictures hold memories better than words.

3/1/13 - Reflecting on Years Past & Predicting the Year to Come

Well alright, it's a new year, and in case you haven't noticed yet, I've decided to give my blog an exciting new look. Like it? Well I've got a lot to write about so I guess I better get started.

Yeah, I know I didn't come and post a new entry right at the start of the new year >:P I was awake, and I didn't forget about it, I was just busy watching the celebration in New York. I would like to say a few words about the previous year and the year to come, however. I realize now that last year, for me, was about experiencing and learning. And believe me I learned a lot. I learned that I shouldn't let people walk all over me, and that if I really don't want something, I should say no. I realized that you should never think "That sort of thing will never happen to me." because it did happen, and it ruined me. I wasted a year and lost someone I still love today. This year for me, will be about taking the things I learned from my experiences last year, and using them to better myself. This year is about me, a child, stepping up and becoming more mature. Doing the things I don't want to do, and taking responsibility for myself, fearless of the outcome. I realize that I'm really quite immature in some little ways (which end up effecting me in BIG ways). I am lazy. I am short tempered. I am overly-concerned. This year, I hope to change that. I already see the changes in myself, too. I am slowly -but surely- becoming less lazy, and more likely to jump up and do things as soon as I know they need to be done. I'm learning to, when I spot a problem, settle down and remind myself that things will fix themselves in time, and that attempting to fix them myself will only cause more harm rather than fixing the problem. This is a year of self realization for me, and I've been gifted with a new fire, a new passion for life within itself that has begun to motivate me daily to venture forth and do things I'd normally be too hesitant, or otherwise horrified to do before. I look forward to every experience and challenge 2013 has for me, and I will face it head-on, or embrace it with open arms. For me, now, I will leave no stone un-turned, no question un-answered, and no thought unspoken. This is the year I teach myself how to become an adult. This is the year I do what I want (Thor! >:l [lol ruined the moment]), and become who I want, regardless the challenge. And I feel fearless now. I know that at times things will be difficult, maybe I might even think it's unbearable, but I realize now that taking on these challenges, and doing these things, are a part of growing up, and will mold me into the kind of adult I want to be.

Setting aside my sappy New Year's speech (I think I deserve an award. Or a sticker at least >:<), some neat things happened today. I went shopping with my mom and then went to Barnes & Noble. It was hard for me because, as much as I hate talking about it, people make me nervous. Being in public makes me nervous. And one of the phsychoblehblehbleh I seen told me that I need to start addressing this problem now, and force myself to go out, because if I don't I could develop an intense fear of leaving my house. I already felt that fear setting in, so I think it really woke me up to hear someone else -especially a certified doctor- tell me I needed to do something. I was there completely alone. Usually I go places with friends or family, and things are a bit easier, but when I'm alone around a lot of people I get nervous at first. Then shaky. Then dizzy. Then I just feel like I'm going to faint or get sick. Luckily for me it only got to the dizzy part before my mom showed up to take me home. While I was there I also feel as though I handled some situations a lot better than I would normally. First, some creeper (probably drunk or on some type of drug) approached me while I was looking at some art books. Normally, in this situation, I'd get all sweaty and nervous as soon as I noticed the person approaching me, but not this time. He asked me if I'd "seen any chicken books", and I calmly and politely, without looking at him, said that I hadn't and then he left. While to anyone else I'm sure avoiding a creep in a book store the way I had would be a no-brainer, but to me this was a great achievement. In this situation before now I would have gotten nervous, scoffed at him nervously, and probably said something that would have queued an attempt at conversation on his part, which I would have been too afraid of to attempt avoiding. I'm glad I've grown in this way. Then, later on I brought a book up to the check-out counter that I didn't have enough money for, however, I didn't realize this until the cashier had already scanned the bar code on the book and the gift card I was using @.@ so she had to call over her manager to undo the transaction and then go and put the book back. I wanted to offer taking the book back to the shelf myself since I knew where it went but, I thought at the time that might seem weird on my part. Normally I would have gotten so nervous and embarrassed in this situation that I would have came close to tears. But this time, while I did feel rather stupid and slightly embarrassed, I didn't get so nervous I could have puked. I feel triumphant. I also got a job application while I was there. Woop! I'm so happy Barnes & Noble still carries paper copies! Now-a-days most businesses ask you to fill out an application online or print one up and bring it in instead. We don't have a printer, which makes finding a job that much harder on me since I'm too nervous to go to the library and ask about using the computer and printing and all that. I hope to fill in most of it tonight, have my mother help fill in the rest tomorrow, and then maybe turn it in on Saturday. I really hope I'll get to work there soon, even though I don't think they're really looking for new employees right now. It would be a lot easier for me to handle with my people phobia than a typical fast food job would. Plus, I think I'd feel more comfortable working around all the books and bookworms. Whenever I go there I'm re-alphabetizing the shelves anyways. It really bothers me when people put back a book in the wrong place. I mean, how is someone else supposed to find it if they're looking for it and it's in the wrong place! 

Anyways, a lot of good is going on right now, and while things can always get worse, I'm sure things will only get better. Here's to a great new year. Goodnight and I wish you well ^-^

31/12/12

For the past few days I've either been at my cousin's house or I was staying with my cousin. She's just been bored I guess, but I feel like I wasted so much time those three days I was with her :s we did absolutely nothing all day. I hate that feeling. But enough of that.

I'm not going to list everything I got for Christmas but I got some pretty awesome stuff. Though... The iTunes card that I was really looking forward to this year wasn't activated at the register :'< so I can't use it. $25 down the drain. That's $25 worth of music I could have bought! I checked online and the only way I can activate the card is by emailing a picture of the front, back, and receipt of purchase for the card to someone at the iTunes dept. I don't have the receipt, and if the family member who got it for me does still somehow have it, they live two hours away from me :< I'm so disappointed. I was going to spend New Years Eve buying some new music for my phone and daydreaming about 2013 *sigh* oh well I guess. I'll try to get my parents to help me set something up. 

So anyways, I'd like to make note of my New Year's resolutions. I honestly don't usually do this, but I think this year, they're realistic, and a good idea. This year I only have two resolutions. Get a job, and renew my passion for drawing. I'm already on my way to the second resolution, but I know the first one will be more difficult. I'm searching outside of Riverbank, thank goodness my parents are kind enough to be willing to drive me to work until I can either start paying them for gas or get my license. I don't act like it, or voice it often, but I'm really lucky to have the parents I have. They do so much for me, that most parents wouldn't consider. 

I'm going to stay up until 12 AM January 1st 2013 like I do every year, but I plan on putting up an extra blog as soon as the time changes. I'm looking forward to welcoming in the new year online tonight ^.^

22/12/12 - Pokémon!

Welly well well :D hey there! So much neat stuff has happened to me since the last post. Not anything too exciting, but things that make me really happy.

So a couple days back I lost my glasses for about a day and a half. It was just awful. I couldn't see anything. I felt like a hopeless, blind mouse. I felt like I couldn't do anything. I had a constant headache for that day and a half due to eye strain. Can you imagine? It was awful. I actually took a NAP it hurt so bad. I HATE naps. But then I found them so all was well in the kingdom~

 Then my friend helped me get back into FB roleplaying by making some OC art for me to use and rping with me until 1 AM that night. It felt really good. We also played some Draw My Thing before that which was hella fun too. I love playing that game with friends X3

 Today I did a couple neat things. First though, when Michael came over to visit the other day, we played Pokemon Black & White together. He gave me a tepig that I badly wanted *.* thank you Michael! So this morning I got around to trying to level it and something really neat happened. I was just about to enter the tall grass to start training my level 1 tepig (I ran back to Pinwheel Forest from Nimbasa City, thank goodness for bicycles) when a plot of grass started shaking. I, as I'm sure many others do, thanked Game Freak and ran into it. The results were far more than pleasing. The battle began and after about 5 tackles from my tepig, audino took it out with doubleslap in two hits. I threw out my snivy next and instead of attacking it simply used leech seed on the audino, used a revive on my tepig, and brought the tiny pokemon back into battle. The effects of leech seed did most of the work for my tepig, and when I finally defeated it, the results were far greater than what I had expected. Pling, pling, pling, pling, pling! Over and over! The joyous sound repeated until my tepig had reached level 14! In ONE BATTLE I was able to save myself a good twenty/thirty minutes of training! This, to my surprise, was not only because audinos are worth more exp. when you defeat them, but also because apparently, traded pokemon get exp. boosts! This pleased me endlessly and I was happy for most of the morning. I also experienced a great first for me in Pokemon today as well. You see, I love minccinos. I don't know why. I just really love minccinos. So I caught two. I knew I'd never have the time (or patience for that matter) to level up both pokemon, so I stuck them in the daycare instead. This was some time before my trade with Michael. So, after the shock of leveling my tepig so greatly I realized that the daycare was near by and I should probably check on my pokemon. So I went, and when I  approached the counter to talk to the old lady that runs the daycare, it surprised me that when I tried to get my pokemon back all she'd say is "Ah, there you are! My husband has been looking for you!" I, confused, wondered outside to find the daycare lady's husband, whom I was completely unaware of or the fact that it was the old man standing right outside. When I spoke to him he also said that he had been looking for me and then informed me that they had found my pokemon carrying eggs. I knew you could get a pokemon egg in the games, but I had no clue how. Then when he asked me if I wanted them, I almost started crying in joy. Then, (bonus!!) when I decided to talk to him again to see if he'd say something different, or something regarding how to hatch the egg, he repeated the previous dialogue from the first time I received an egg and proceeded to give me another! I was left with two eggs! I retrieved my minccinos that I had came there for in the first place, and moved on to level my tepig up to my current team's level. Long story short, by the end of the day I hatched both of the eggs simply by walking around training my tepig, and now I have two more minccinos that I have no idea what to do with @.@ I have now decided that I am the minccino breeder, and have put it on my trainer card. (haha!).
 Today, I also went to a bbq at my aunt's house. I'm not very social... I pretty much spent the whole time there sitting on the floor in a corner with my headphones on listening to Lindsey Sterling and playing Pokemon. But it was SO ADORABLE. When my youngest cousin, Jacob, realized I was playing a video game he curled up right next to me and watched me play, letting me teaching him the glory of pokemon the entire time ^w^ and near the end, the older cousin (who is still only 9, but the smartest 9-year-old you will EVER meet) realized I was playing pokemon as well, and also curled up next to me. But to my surprise the kid knew more about pokemon than I did! He'd already caught both the Black and White legendaries on the online version, and had already finished the DS version! I actually carried on a very otaku and smart conversation with a 9 year old boy! It was the cutest thing ever, I was so happy. There is still hope for the pokemon generations TTwTT

That's about it for today. Woah. I wrote a lot more than I planned to X3 ah well, there's nothing wrong with it. Maybe some day a magazine company will find my writing and hire me as a journalist XD lol. I also realize that in the last post for some reason the bottom paragraph is highlighted. Yeah. I have no idea why that's like that, but I really don't care to fix it XD Goodnight~

19/12/12

Today went from okay and unsure to nice and simple. I thought I was just going to sit around today making one of my friend's Christmas presents and playing Sim Social, do the dishes, and practice Romeo and Cinderella. But instead I ended up going to my aunt's house. Nothing really interesting happened there. Sat on the love seat and played some Pokemon Black, then played Dragon Ball Z on the PS2 with my two little cousins (they're so smart!) and went home. My aunt was also getting rid of her desk so she gave it to me! YAY! I have a new desk. I don't usually change the way my room looks so I get really excited when I get something that will greatly change the appearance of my room.
 After we left my aunt's place we were all really hungry so we got food from Golden Chopsticks. Normally, I hate Chinese food, but I'd never been there before so I had no idea that they had such a delicious-looking menu! I ordered the chicken tariyaki bowl (which I'm still attempting to finish) and it's really good!  on this bowl, best I've had so far. Plus there was a young Asian girl taking my order, probably the daughter of the shop owner. She was so cute! Poised, calm, and had the cutest voice I've ever heard!

I have a friend coming over tomorrow that I haven't seen in a really long time. I'm excited. I don't know if I'll post tomorrow, but I might have a lot to talk about so, you never know~


Currently eating: Chicken Teriyaki rice bowl

Excited for: Finishing a dance, seeing an old friend, finding a new romance
