Leap Year Birthday and Gorillaz

I think the woman planned the birth to happen on that date, but it's still a cool coincidence.

Leap year mother and daughter celebrate one-in-two-million double birthday as they turn eight and one (that's 32 and four in real years) | Mail Online

Blep. What am I listening to now?
Gorillaz - Plastic Beach
It's kind-of weird, and out there, but if you give it a chance and read behind the lyrics, this album definitely grows on you- which makes it onto my favorites.

Teenager posts!

Hi, viewer. I've noticed this post gets the most views out of ALL my posts, so I've decided to stop by and say thanks and hi, welcome to the blog.
However, this has less teenager posts than some of the rest of my posts.

Beautiful Trees.

Pretty much what the title says.

Trees are magnificent, protective, grandiose beings. Majestically silent and forever watching the creatures on Earth, they provide food and shelter to both animals and people alike. To lose these in the future would be devastating to all of the life on earth, as we would be losing Earth's greatest silent giants.

(I wrote that. Ain't it gooood?)

These are some of the best nature has to offer.

MAKE A CHANGE!

Yesterday's post was quite a doozy: now that I've gotten all that out, I'm definitely in a life/world-saving mood today. Guess what? Congress passed a bill that makes protesting illegal. What the hell?!?!? Whatever happened to freedom and people's rights? I'm not making this up. I've been following David Seaman (stop laughing at his name.) and checking it all out. It's legit.

David Seaman - Google+
Goodbye, First Amendment: ‘Trespass Bill’ will make protest illegal — RT

If you want to know what's really going on in the US, check his page out. It's got all your political info. Heck, even I'm getting interested and I hate politics.

Privacy, gone. Monitoring here. (and it stays.)

Interesting commenst on Youtube:

"Basically what they saying is the gov trying to do is treat us like a thief or terrorist or child pornographer (even if we're innocent) so they can 'monitor' us without limit. In order to do so, they had access to our Address, phone, credit card, all personal informatiion.I their (gov) goal is to make internet clean, why dont just shut the torrent, porn sites, etc without monitoring us?From what i see is, they make the bill as an excuse (or 'cover') to destroy our privacy."

"Why doesn't this video have more views?

Honestly, if there were more politically aware people, activists not afraid to fight, we would be rallying and protesting in Congress, bringing back people's rights, privacy, and freedoms. This country was founded on the beliefs that we would become independent, fair, and strong; the government is bringing all of that down.

WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND BRING BACK AMERICA!"

And the earth. How I'm so worried about our planet. Amazing girl, presented a speech to a UN conference. Share with everyone. DO IT NOW!

Lol wut.

Apparently there were problems when a limited edition Nike shoe came out Friday... "Foamposite Galaxy" is its name. Checking them out on ebay and Google Shopping and it's ridiculous. These sneaks are running [pun intended ;) ] for about $1000- $2500?!?!?!? Seriously?!?

gosh, it excites the nerd in me.

I'm in a really random mood- what in the world will I post next?

Hola. My head hurts.

Damn. I came down with a cold. Nothing too severe, no strep (thank God!) but I feel like crap. We had a test today in AP World History and I think I bombed. It's really hard to focus when your insides are scorching and your exterior is freezing cold (conflict, much?!?!?!) and your neck feels as though it carries a hundred pounds of weight. But this song makes me feel better. His voice is so sweet and calming... I love Coldplay.

And if we could float away
Fly up to the surface and just start again
And lift off before trouble
Just erodes us in the rain
just erodes us in the rain
just erodes us, just erodes us in the rain
Sing slow-ow-ow-ow it down
Oh Slow-ow-ow-ow it down


Through chaos as it swirls
It's just us against the world
Through chaos as it swirls
It's us against the world...

Love it. Anyways. Tomorrow is Friday. I hope to sleep all weekend. My head hurts. Sorry. Can't think straight. Gave up sweets for Lent. Let's see how it goes? I'm trying hard ;)

Hehehe.

Chemistry class. My friends/readers will understand.

They say I'm too young for love. "They" being my parents. And I think I'm finally starting to understand and am willing to accept it. I think my mom is starting to see that I really am more mature than others and she's been seeing a lot of the real me lately. I've been a little more *ahem* vulgar with my choices of words (I accidentally cursed on the phone with her a few days ago! [If I even mutter the word "stupid" in her presence, she'll ground me.]) and realistic about my expectations and knowing what my flaws are. I think it's sorta been me holding back on this all along, because I'm so reluctant to talk about my feelings to her. But I love this new-found feeling of connection between my mother and I, considering we're so close in the first place. Also, not that I'm looking for a boyfriend or anything, because really, I think it would be too much to handle for me right now (I would NOT be able to concentrate on school with a sweet guy by my side; you kiddin' me?) but I want to develop... more intimate relationships with people. And I want to enjoy my youth. I want to meet a man that I know will understand that, and will wait for me to be ready to date, won't make me cry, won't make me frustrated, won't distance themselves or play mind games. High school is a good time to grow up with someone and get to know them as friends. It's a time when you should be as fun as a child but have the maturity of an adult. You have to make the most out of it and know that after it comes the full-on responsibility or the real world. And when I take that on, I know I'll be ready. And now I know that waiting will be all the more worthwhile.

Also, I found something that totally describes me:


And this is exactly how I feel about certain people sometimes...


I love reading these. G'nite!

I was going to publish this yesterday...

I like this.

21 Amazing Young Women | Article
These are the people one should be inspired by.

I'm going to try and have a playlist of the week or post one of those teenager posts. They are sooo perfect for almost every moment in my life.

Ok, I finally posted yesterday's events. They were saved in a draft. :P
Today wasn't really super interesting, but I will tell you anyways.

1. I never got to having my game day... -_-
2. But my grandma finally came home. From the hospital. In a foreign country. After being gone for about two months.
3. I ate yogurt-covered pretzels. (Why name it that? Aren't they covered in white chocolate or frosting or something? That white stuff is definitely not yogurt. [get your mind out of the gutter])
4. It is 10:25 PM and I am starting my studying.

That pretty much sums up my day's events. Also, I got hit in the head with a soccer ball (little cousins -_-) and bit my tongue.  And I think I'm coming down with a cold. Remind me not to shower late and go to sleep with my hair wet. >.<

This has become more of an events diary and less of a... I don't know.  I'm not writing what I really feel, which was the point of this blog. I guess I'm kind-of afraid that someone in my family will find this or that someone will recognize me when I write more personal things about my life, which I will get to doing sometime soon when I am comfortable. After all, this is where I get to express myself. This is my domain.

My little niche, in a way. Soon, very soon I will slowly learn to lower my guards and trust more in the world, to unwrap the layers of... complicated feelings..
awk. finish this later. :P bye <3

Things are.. interesting..

Today [Saturday, February 18, 2012] was interesting. After going to my local church and volunteering at CCD (for those of you not familiar with the term), I went to an outdoor flea market, filled with various knick-knacks, unwanted jewelry, bootleg movies and music, and knockoff-brand everything. First: a crowd; music, people, laughs gathered around in a circle, so naturally I go and see what's going on. A Michael Jackson impersonator steps aside to let a man in his  50's take over. All eyes are on him. And he started dancing! Dancing like there was no tomorrow. I respect this guy, because he was pulling all these moves out of nowhere, not caring what anyone thought about him.

We finally went home. I went to a neighbor's party, drank virgin (non-alcoholic, guys. I'm a role model. [ok, so i wanted alcohol. couldnt have it this time]) piña coladas and played Forza Motorsport 4 in a dark room under blacklights. It was fun. :)

Awesome!?!?!

Today I was wandering around the Internets and I stumbled upon this particular Youtube account:
devinsupertramp's Channel - YouTube

It is awesome, readers. These people live life to the max. I really want to add some of these things to my bucket list...

Rope Swinging TO THE EXTREME!
Dodgeball TO THE EXTREME!
Slip and Slide TO THE EXTREME!
Trike Racing TO THE EXTREME!
Human Slingshot EXTREME ENOUGH?
Tower Jumping I FEEL LIKE A LOSER.
Water Jetpack Flying NEVER WILL I BE ABLE TO AFFORD THIS.
Invisible-Kart Racing AMAZING!

I mean, come ON. WATER-POWERED JETPACKS!?! A GIANT SWING? I'M PRACTICALLY SCREAMING IN FRUSTRATION BECAUSE I PROBABLY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO DO THIS. NOTICE THE USE OF ALL CAPS. JEALOUSY!!!!!

Sorry. Today was our pep rally. *insert unenthusiatic hurrah* I wasn't really in the mood nor did I enjoy it, seeing that:

1. I was sitting on the floor. BLEACHERS, Y U NO HOLD MOAR PEOPLE?
2. There was a butt obstructing my view.
3. There were no motivations for me to cheer.
4. My heart feels horribly nervous and thumpy when the band plays.
5. There was a butt obstructing my view.

But it WAS fun to see the boys make fools of themselves. Oh, high school.

School Day Nostalgia

So I am currently at my school's open-enrollment-open-house sort-of-thing. volunteering to give tours to people makes me realize I care a lot more about my school than I thought I did; I mean, I've been here for approximately a third of my life. I've grown up here, and met new people. I've shared things with them- moments of laughter, moments of sadness, they've guided me throughout my life and helped me to become the person I am. From those awkward stages of middle school to finding myself in high school. And I only have two years left to make the most out of this experience. I'm going to miss everyone so much.

Remember Me.

Have you ever had a time in your life when you get really upset over everything? I don't know, apparently it's not just me but, I think about how, right now, there are people in distress all over the world and it's like their cries are aimed directly at me and it's such an overwhelming feeling. I'm not trying to be negative. There's really so much to do and so many people to help and not enough time for it. I really want to make a difference and I never know where to start because of that helpless feeling. And I think about how when I'm enjoying life there are people out there suffering, who have it worse than I do. And I can't save them all.
I was explaining to C. earlier about how I created this blog to explain to the world what my thoughts and feelings were. I don't necessarily think I'll go out with a BANG, but I want to be a spark in someone's life. Or at least let someone in the world know who I was. I'm terrified of dying and not having anyone know what all my thoughts, life experiences, and beliefs were. I hope to make people understand what I want in the world and why. The essence of who I am may never be fully expressed in words, but somewhere, somehow, I will put myself out there. So I can be remembered.

nerdfighter url, music video, and random

Hello, again it's me! (I really need to start coming up with more interesting greetings for you readers out there.) Welcome back :P I just got my awesome new Nerdfighter url:

http://dft.ba/-1Rkh

...which... happens to direct you back to this page. Useless, it is not. I've recently come across two things that I'm currently obsessed with- the vlogbrothers aka Nerdfighters (no they do not fight nerds, as nerds are awesome) and The White Stripes. Sad to think that they broke up on February 2nd, last year... (my friends will understand why this it stinks for it to be on that date) and.. I have something. This fake movie trailer has "B movie" written all over it. Which is why I love it. Viewer discretion is advised, not suitable for ages 13 and under.

Click! Now!

it's actually a music video. It's slightly pathetic yet differently funny.
...
I just recieved an announcement...advertisement...thingy on my phone. (i suffer from lethologica, don't hate! [look it up. le-tho-lo-gi-ca]) Thought I should share this with you.

Top Disappearing Natural Wonders:

1. Amazon Rainforest, Brazil
2. TajMahal, India
3. Great Barrier Reef, Australia
4. The Poles (N&S)
5. The Dead Sea, Jordan

This makes me sad. I'm a big nature freak and I tend to worry a lot about the environment and what the Earth is coming to. I'm not really a hardcore tree-hugger, (XD) but I do care a lot.

My train of thought has gone in all directions. Well- it can't go in all directions because that means- no, no, that's not even possible. Don't make fun of me; I don't think things out. Sometimes. I tend to write as I go, because seeing that I'm a weird person and all that, I tend to think like a tree grows. Branches and limbs and branches and limbs of thoughts. I said branches and limbs twice. I can do that. This is my blog. This is really sucky writing and I apologize if it's not my best stuff. I'm starting to get a feel for the blog and it tends to be a media-sharing and diary kind of thing. You know, learning and entertainment. That's mah style (*insert creepy winky face) Is anyone out there who's actually reading this? If so, please comment. I need a bit of criticism and opinions on what to write about or what you think about my blog. Thanks!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NO QUIZ?!?!?

I was so trolled today. Somebody told me there was a quiz, and I freaked out because I was unprepared. There is no quiz. What a tease. I'm gonna get back at you, J. I will.

Although...

...Nah. Revenge is more fun ;)

Oh. My. God. I can't stop listening to that song now. It makes me cry. I'm such a softie.

On the other hand, I'm smiling and laughing to myself when I hear this.

Dedicated to my close friend, S. Please don't cry anymore.

Hello there, readers. Valentine's Day is finally over, thank you! Sorry; I was in a grumpy mood all throughout the school day. Ok, today wasn't really that annoying, it's just me. So I've decided to start sharing some of my poetry on here, seeing that this site is good for expressing myself in every way possible. So, here's a little something for all you derpheads making googly-eyes at each other. (yeah, even you two in the corner, I see you.)

Hands intertwined
like vines on trees,
wrapped around each other
in a tight embrace.
Sweaty palms,
the light touch of fingers
eyes steady on one another.
Death.

I think I got this "love" thing down, right? My robot-heart calculations tell me so.
That's right- I can be deep if I want. :P ... Okay, so just ignore the last line.
I love poetry, I just haven't been able to do it in a while... don't judge.
I SENSE JUDGING! I'm sorry, what's going on? I'm in a hyperactive state of being. OMGOMGOMG malvaviscos <3 (that's marshmallow in Spanishese)

I love these songs so much.


They kinda describe my mood right now. On the inside at least.

Hello, my loves. Can I call you that? No? Okay... uh...yeah. I was bored! I'm back, anyways and I think I'm going to do one final post before I go to bed. You probably hate me right now, 'cause, I mean, I just write so darn much and you only have like, so little time to spend on reading my posts, but how you can't get enough! I know, darling, I know. I'm a horrible person. I'm just writing right now at random because, well, like I said: I'm bored. And I just need people to follow me. So then my posts will have a reason for their existence. I know it's a lot to ask from you, seeing that you are such socially active people, unlike yours truly. So please spread the word and maybe I will sign autographs for you one day.

Sarcasm was very prevalent in that paragraph, if you couldn't pick up on that. No, I don't mean to say you're dumb. No, you're not dumb! What are you doing with that basket? Y U GO AWAY? Now I'm sad.

So, I was wondering if you wanted to be my valentine? Yes, that's right. Each and every single two of you. I know I only have, like, two people who read this. PLEASE BE MY VALENTINE.

Video Games!

Nyerrrrr (my sound for frustration, boredom, dislike, and randomness [feel free to use it, totally comes in handy a lot of times]) I definitely did NOT forget to blog yesterday, for the record! I was planning to, but then people intruded in my plans. Don't you hate that? When you have your whole day planned out and then things happen and all your thoughts are scattered and your schedule falls apart? But keep in mind, that those times are also when the lovliest things tend to happen. Impromptu visits to places, recalling old times...

But whatever. I was on Youtube (actually I still AM) and I'm looking up all of these old songs from video games. (homework? what homework? hehe... -_- ) Ah, they're really not so much memories seeing that I still play some of them. Video games, to me, never lose their appeal. In fact, the old stuff is usually the better stuff. Old people say that- am I becoming old!!?! AHHH!! merh. See now I'm sounding more of a weird teenager and less like a lonely philosopher who studies people all day. (which is sort-of like my dream job) LOLZ.

This is one of my favorite games.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3VXcML6Hf0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FxfkOUlFDo&feature=related

Some songs still freak me out a little inside. Lavender Town's background music ? Yeah. Just a little. Ghost House from Mario Kart? Double. But still, awesome!

There were a few games in my childhood that just scarred me for life. Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday. No clue as to why my parents have that or even where they even got it from. I mean, seriously, Daffy Duck has fangs. Fangs! And there's those evil leprechauns and there's fog. Fog everywhere. SWIM? ( [lol threw you off didn't it?] "See What I Mean?") Go. Just go. Click the link! Now! Why are you still reading?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=-8L89weomII

So speaking of SNES games, I'm gonna tell you a few of my faves:

• Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble (actually all DK titles)
• Ms. Pac Man
• Street Fighter II Turbo
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles In Time
• Taz Mania
• Super Mario Kart
• Wheel of Fortune
• Tetris Attack

There's more, I'm just too lazy to name them... Okay, so I forgot. But I can just go into the ol' game cabinet and check 'em out. I miss playing on it. I think I'll have a game day Saturday...

I love the fact that not a single day in my life is normal.

Today at my local library a random man, in his late 50's, came up to me from behind and said "I'm sorry, you look like my ex, but from 20 years ago". Being the awkward person I am, I couldn't help but just look at him and smile. So I said the dumbest thing ever- "Really?" and laughed continually. It was a very weird moment, considering he was probably reminiscing about times with her. But it did get me thinking: I wonder what she must have been like, personality-wise, and why they broke up.

Also, speaking of break-ups and on the topic of singledom (yes it is a word- according to me) I'm becoming a total Valentine's Day grinch. I'm a lonely, single teenager who can't seem to find someone that's even remotely interested in me. I've honestly never dated, and even though I don't plan to for a while (for personal reasons) all the cutesy yet simultaneously disgusting romance advertisements and ads are getting to me. It's a nice idea, and all, but the commercialization of it all is obnoxious. Here's a little link for all you grinches out there...

http://community.sparknotes.com/2012/02/01/how-to-be-a-valentines-day-grinch

Topic Switch-up: My family is and has been struggling financially for years now; even before the 2008 crash ever happened. I hate how everything in this world is based on money. Money tears people apart, even families, and I hate seeing this happen to those I love. But I've tried to maintain a positive point of view. I mean, eveything happens for a reason, right? I keep telling myself that; but have yet to fully understand why.

Welcome to the blog!

-Prologue-

So recently, a close friend of mine has decided to start a blog of her own. A toast to her for inspiring me. I've been wanting to do this for a long time and I'm finally happy to have acted on impulse and created this blog. This blog is for me, you, and anyone else who stumbles upon the site. Congratulations and welcome.


So here's a little something about me to get you started. Although, there's probably not much of a crowd here, am I right? *cue crickets* I'm quite an awkward person, in fact. >.< I'm almost finished with high school and I've decided not to care about what other people think about me. I've matured quicker than others (My friends are probably going to laugh their heads off when they read this) in some ways, and I'm a child when it comes to other things. But I kinda like it that way. I don't think I'm ready to let go of mom and dad yet. Or ever, but there'll come a time and day when I going to have to face it... I'm a really random person. I get off topic easily, but I think it'll add interest to the blog. ;)

Although I won't give out my true identity (Maybe someday? [I said maybe]) the story behind my username reflects upon how I see myself as an experienced person; after all, I have been living on this planet for a bit over a decade and a half now (*wink* clue to my age!!!) , I know a multitude (Big words. Have I mentioned I love them?) of things, yet on a relative scale I know nothing about life. I like to keep an open mind and am willing to learn and accept my mistakes.


DISCLAIMERS/ EDITOR'S NOTES: There will be some days where I post 2-3 times a day and there will be periods where I don't find the time to write or just get so lost in life that I forget, so excuse me if I my irregularity sparks a withdrawal in your need for my posts. Try not too miss me too much then. ;) Also, please beware that my posts will cover a lot of topics and some might make you question your existence and/or the existence of others, and/or life in general; as I like a good challenge to revitalize the soul once and then. Also, seeing that I'm a random person and all, my writing style (ah! there it is! the necessary and oh-so-typical blogger's rant on writing style) will vacillate from one of an English professor (I wish) to one of a hormonal teenager, to one of a melodramatic artiste, to one of a complete moron, to one of a.... etc etc. (you understand where I'm going with this one, right? I really don't want to continue)

So now that we have it all settled, welcome once again, thank you, and goodnight!
