School Supplies Wars, BlameShift and Fired Up!

Basically, yesterday (February 20th, 2009) was one of the best days. First off, there was hardly any drama. That was fun :] And during English, me and a friend had a highlighter fight. It started with pencil tug-of-war, which turned into a highlighter tug-of-war. Somehow, I managed to draw a miniscule line on my friend's thumb, so he ended up drawing all over me, while the teacher wasn't looking. It turned into a full-fledged fight and gave me something to do for the entire English period. Fun, right?

After school, I got to go to the mall to see BlameShift (an awesome-o band, unknown, something you should listen to). Well I was a little late but nothing could rain on my parade. When I got there, Hot Topic was crowded so I had to push through to get to my friend and we started listenin'. BlameShift was amazing live (I'll take this time to say that this was my first real show), and I've got recordings. They even played a new song that's not even titled!

The show ended after a few more songs, and then it was time to meet the band and get autographs and junk. Before I went to the show, I made a custom-made BlameShift tank top, and that got the band's attention. I took a bunch of pictures with Jenny, one with Joe, one with James, and one with Tim. I would've gotten my shirt and/or camera case signed if we didn't have to leave for the movies. Basically, this band was super down to Earth and they were so nice to the fans!

Movies time! So since I'm only 13, my friend was 14, and my other was 15 (hah, 13, 14, 15!) we couldn't get into Friday the 13th by ourselves. So we went off to another movie theater and watched Fired Up! instead. Okay, it wasn't the best movie but it was pretty funny. A bit perverted, but that can be funny. Oh and the friend I had the highlight fight with? This movie was basically made for him, as he's a bit of a perv.

So yeah. The first time I've had this much fun in one day. And now today, I'm just hanging out until later at night. Then I go to a family friend's house for a farewell party to the father of that family (he's leaving for London on Monday, the rest of them are going at the end of the school year). It's a bit sad that they're leaving, but we have some time until school's over, right?

Did you guys have fun? Tell me in a comment :]

Wow it's been forever.

Whoa, it really has been forever since I've posted on this. I feel kinda weird now that I'm starting to post again. Wanna hear my lame excuses? I'm sure you do. If you don't scroll through them or whatever else you can think of.

1. I have no time.

You're all probably going What? She's in 8th grade, how can she have no time? Well I actually don't have much time. Main activities that really take away my time in this life are... music (I have piano once a week and I play in two different bands), writing (I got to do it!), role-playing (yes, I must do it, because it helps with writer's block), school, and some figure skating (all though I haven't done it in a while).

2. I have nothing to talk about.

Lately my life has been slow and boring. Do you really want to read blog post upon blog post about pointless days that go by? No I bet you don't.

So what got me back into blogging? I guess I just needed to write some more about my life and all. Plus, today was pretty crappy. For the most part, it was fine and I was pretty happy. But then later on, right before a basketball game, we had to shoot around and just practice. During this, me and a sort of friend, got into this not serious argument about our music opinions. I started telling her that her taste in music (ie: Jonas Brothers, Jordan Pruitt, Miley Cyrus, etc.) was pretty bad (no offense to anyone who likes any of those artists). She then went on to tell me that my music is all 'emo' and all about 'cutting your wrists'. The girl had the nerve to joke around about something so serious! My best friend came into the picture and she told off this girl for being so close-minded and for joking around about something that's really serious and deserves help. It ended up as both of us being pissed at this girl for doing this type of thing. Honestly.

The bright side is that this is the first time in a while that me and my best friend were on the same side (we're usually arguing with each other about stupid stuff). That's a pretty good thing right?

Well anyways, I'll stop whining. Thanks for reading (if anybody did).

Have I been gone for far too long?

Watching Saw II (Creepy, psycho movie)

Feeling kinda spooked.

Well please let me know if I've been gone for forever. I just haven't had much interesting things to write about. Schools the same; still made fun of, still boring, still totally annoying. I still hate school. It's almost Halloween though! I love Halloween at my school; we have a halloween costume contest and we get to hang around outside.

It's been getting really cold around here. I've been freezing and walking around in a scarf. Fingertips turning red and slowly purple, running to get to my next area so that I don't have to be outside too long. It's kind of nice though. I like the seasons changing.

I've started to wear glasses now, too. Changes have been occurring. I actually like the glasses though; I can see better and I think they look kinda cute on me. I've also taken up figure skating in the time I've been gone. I'm just starting and taking lessons, but hopefully I'll be able to skate well soon.

Well my life is boring so I guess I'll just end the post. If I haven't been commenting on your blogs lately, sorry. I've been busy. I hope all of you guys whose blogs I'm following are living good lives. I hope you guys are doing good. I might talk to you soon, if I can get more time on blogger.

I'm having a storm of happiness!

Hey everybody! I am so freaking happy, I don't think anything can really ruin my day!

Okay, so first off I saw City of Ember and let me tell you; one of the best movies EVER! I loved it. It was insanely good. I want all of you to go out and watch it. I thought it was good (:

And if that wasn't enough to make my day so great, I also got my pre-ordered Hey Monday CD! BOOYAH!

Hey Monday is a really great band, I think you should all check it out.

Those two things made my day great, even though that's all that happened...

More news that's pretty good; I'm almost done with Breaking Dawn and it's a great book.

Sunday, I might get to meet All Time Low (EEP!), if I can beg my parents and persuade them to let me go.

And all these nice comments that everyone leaves me, those are amazing! Probably one of the things that is making me a much happier person (: Thanks to everybody so much. I hope everyone is having a good weekend (well it's a weekend for me... No school!) and a good Friday.
