I love you, Dawn.

We all love you.

It shouldn't have happened.

It shouldn't have come to that.

Rest in peace.

Avatar and Elfin Day

I just went and saw Avatar 3D, and it was (for lack of a word that doesn't drive me crazy) epic. It was pretty awesome, and it can be seen as representative of many issues. Love it!

Elfin Day jitters setting in?? Yah. Yah. Sure. I'll bring my own tent.

And, to skeptics, the poetry I posted below is NOT SAD!!!!!!! It's actually quite a happy poem, OK??

Poetry of Sorts

Don't mind me.
I'm just the girl sitting in the corner, pretending to be a snorkeling giraffe.
A whale shark gently floating through pitch black space.
A monkey CEO in a Gucci suit entering a ritzy office building.
Don't mind me.
I'm just the girl sitting in the corner, thinking about the state spelling bee.
Thinking about camping in a backyard, under the smoggy stars.
Thinking about Times Square lights, people, and streets.
Don't mind me.
I'm just the girl sitting in the corner, silently stewing because someone just hit her in the head with a locker door.
Feeling anxious and hopeful for high school and the rest of her life.
Feeling jealous, because she is always left on the opposite side of the room. The less populated side.
Don't mind me.
I'm just a little girl in a big world.
So...
Don't mind me.

Call Me Chef

Hello, friends, world, galaxy, universe.

Hello, hello.

I have another favorite color now. Mix orange soda and blue Powerade, and you shall find it. A quest of sorts.

I am also quite delighted with myself, as I have made my own fresh, healthy, chocolate cookie recipe. OK. Buy a box of chocolate chip Clif Bars. Unwrap. Place on microwaveable plate. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Take out. Eat the oohey, gooey, mushy, goodness. Yummers, if I may say so myself.

Goodbye.

Peace out, Zorgons.

Boredom Busters

Hey, guys!!
I know that this is my third post in one night, but it was a light homework night, so, yah. Anyway, if you are ever super bored and your eyeballs are hanging out of your head, go on YouTube and watch the Miley and Mandy Show. (Miley Cyrus, that is.) Especially the one called something along the lines of "It's Like A Tank Top". Of course, you might lose IQ points by watching them (you'll see what I mean), but you'll be so busy laughing and toning your abs at their stupidity!!! Just thought I would share that with you...


Peace out, Cub Scouts!!

Adam is Amazing

Adam, I LOVE YOU! I was inspired by my friends post of a concert she went to, and I just want to say that your concert was beautiful!!!! One of the best nights of my life. "You guys are so kind." "Florida, we like you. We know how to play one more song." "I love you, Florida." "This is my first time in Florida." "I just called my mom, and she said that it was below freezing in Minnesota." "Alright, I'm gonna go take a shower." One of my favorite songs that you played? Meteor Shower. And Imma let you in on a little secret: I cried during Vanilla Twilight, because "cold nostalgia chills me to the bone."

Love, love, love- Me

Pure Excitement

OK, I would just like to say that I am extremely excited about two things that normal (**cough cough** boring) people would dread. My orthodontist appointment tomorrow, and the STATE SPELLING BEE on March 6. I am sooooooooo ecstatic!!!! Wish me luck. (Or gad luckka, however you want to say it ;))

Tidal Wave

Life is a tidal wave.
I remember my armor. I had always thought it was some kind of titanium-steel alloy, ready for anything.
Then it got dented.
Then it got exploded by some kind of hurtling-through-space, violent grenade.
Then it sat in a dusty, old closet, half ready for duty, and half wishing it could just stay there.
Then I needed it.
It reluctantly came out from hiding, still bruised and battered, and dented, and as holey as Swiss cheese.
So I went to Home Depot and got a bucket of spackle.
And I'm still trying to sit here fill in the holes with white, pasty glop.
And it's almost sticking.
Almost.
So I'm urging it along, telling it to hurry up already, so I can be a warrior on the Crusades once more.
But the stupid stuff keeps refusing to dry, and it's getting all over and making some kind of melodramatic mess.
True story.

Let's hear Adam's version:

Tidal Wave
by Adam Young and Matt Theissen

"I wish I could cross my arms and cross your mind
Cause I believe you'd unfold your paper heart and wear it on your sleeve
All my life I wish I broke mirrors instead of promises
Cause all I see is a shattered conscience staring right back at me
I wish I had covered all my tracks completely
Cause I'm so afraid, is that the light at the far end of the tunnel or just the train
Lift your arms, only heaven knows where the danger grows
And it's safe to say there's a bright light up ahead and help is on the way

I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurity
Cause it came down like a tidal wave and sorrow swept over me

Depression please cut to the chase and cut a long story short
Oh please be done, how much longer can this drama afford to run
Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties and breaks whatever doesn't bend
But sadly then, all my heavy hopes just pull me back down again

I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurity
Cause it came down like a tidal wave and sorrow swept over me
Then I was given grace and love
I was blind but now I can see
Cause I've found a new hope from above
And courage swept over me

It hurts just to wake up whenever you're wearing thin
Alone on the outside
So tired of looking in
The end is uncertain
And I've never been so afraid
But I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope
And that makes me feel brave"

Thank you for listening to my extended metaphors. I will always be in your debt. Love and vivacity, folks.
Love and vivacity.

Sparkstar Loves Darkstar

Today in Math, I was sitting and trying to remember how to convert units (feeling a little blonde today). Then I remembered: Sparkstar loves Darkstar. Thank you, my dragon buddies. That will be ingrained in my brain forever.
