Excuses

Okay. Haven't blogged in nearly a week. I have an explanation.

Every part of my brain has been melted into a gelatinous puddle of muck with only one coherent thought:

MORTIMIE. <3

Storytelling Time! (Shut up, Sare, I'm talking >>)

I'm having a hard time breathing right now. I only wish it could be due to Ramsey hyperventilation, but it's due to a stuffy nose and rest of cold that I got over the internet. Anyways...

One day in the world of Feality, not quite Fiction, but not quite Reality, either, people started to open their eyes and dream. There had been a shortage of dreams in the world due to there being a lack of imagination. If there is no healthy balance, then eventually the human race would die out without hope, the twin of dreams.

The funny thing was, the people of Feality started to dream very strange dreams. Dreams with tiny red-haired men in green suits arguing. At first, the people of Feality could only make out blurs of the images and then those images defined into the small creatures they now knew. Once those had developed, they started to have audio to their dreams, muffled sounds at first and then full blown speeches, each word magnified to their mind as if spoken directly to them.

In their dreams, little men had massive wars with each other. Their weapons: potatoes. Contrary to popular belief, the famine was due to the delicious vegetables being used for the war. As it turned out, the reason the funny-looking men were arguing was because...

Continuation

Real School

So, a really cool thing happened to me recently. My mom went to her doctor's appointment and I really like that doctor. She's also a pediatrician, thus my doctor as well, and she's just really nice. I don't know if other doctors remember everything you tell them, but it's a majorly cool factor.

Anyways, so our doctor knows that I go to an online school, but she's recognized that I like to be social, so when my mom went to see her, they talked a bit like she does, and my mom came back saying that the doctor had given a recommendation of a school.

This was amazing news to me. The reason I'm not actually in "real" school is because there are no good ones near us. So we looked it up, Moravian Academy, and it looked REALLY awesome. That is, until we looked at tuition. Or rather, didn't look.

Ever been in one of those stores where they didn't have price tags on stuff because if you have to ask, you can't afford it? It was listed NOWHERE on the site. I mean it. Like, we clicked every link. So we just like, requested information about it to be mailed to us. And then Googled it. Turns out, it was a pretty hefty number. I'm talking college price expensive. Was ridiculous, I'm telling you.

So like any sane person, we wrote it off and just went back to normal stuff. And then I checked the mail one day and OH LOOK, there was a package from Moravian Academy. Dude, it was a SPIFFY package. It was a fancy red portfolio type, with a dvd and you know that type of paper that is really expensive and you can actually feel it? Yeah. It was that type of paper.

Anyways, out of curiosity, we watched the dvd, read the papers...still expensive, but when you're looking in front of you at it...it has a pull, man. My mom ended up studying the papers for a while, then went to talk to my dad.

Apparently what went on during their private meeting is my mom discussing the possibility of going there for my senior year. The thing is, between now and then, I have to prove that I'm a leader not a follower because well...I will admit that I have problems with that. Like, even recently. For example, I like to dress up. Especially when I go out. I moan about dresses and makeup and being prissy all the time, but honestly? I love it. I love going out in malls feeling pretty(see old post from who knows when about this complex) and looking my best. Putting on heels and makeup...it's just fun. When Sare was here, she likes to be casual. (I bet that's because your hair looks great even when you wake up in the mornings >> ) Haha, anyways, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I like to do that, too, when I'm around the house. But I dressed down too, even in situations when I would've normally dressed up because she was. So yeah, being a leader. *nod* Must work on that. =P

So, I'm just really excited at the opportunity of going to a REAL school for senior year. 'Course, we're looking into me spending a semester in the Philippines for part of Junior year as well so I can experience PROM. That'll be so fun. And I'll hopefully pick up the language, too, by being in full immersion. Well, not full. Filipinos speak English mixed in with Tagalog, but ako magsisikap(I will try).

Eww, Sickness

I never knew it was possible to contract a cold over the internet. First Sarah got it, then Anna, now me.

Thanks so much guys.

Society and Stereotypes

Okay, so you know what I don't get? Society. We all have such high regards and opinions of it, want to be socially accepted and have high ranking in it, and what does it do for us? Absolutely nothing. Actually, it kinda works more for bad than good. 

For one thing(and here comes the part where I rant about my own interests), if society proclaims something as stupid or little kid-ish or there's just a lot of hype about it, it's automatically "bad". Seriously, people avoid that thing like the plague and bash it and sometimes, that's entirely undeserved. Of course, there are also times when it is deserved, but I'm not talking about that at the moment.

Take for example High School Musical(Now I'm really in for the mocking). I actually like that movie. I mean, I really love it. It was great, had cool songs and just a fun movie, but if you actually say that in front of any given teenager, probability favors them thumbing it down. Even people who haven't watched the movie like someone I know avoid it because of the stereotyping. It's so ridiculous. I get it, the second movie was horrible, but the third was okay. I don't care if you think it's stupid. I don't care if you think it's beneath you. It was a good movie and at least two people who "don't like it" LAUGHED when I quoted it. 'Course, they didn't know it was HSM which PROVES that it isn't to do with the movie. It's stereotyping. And society. And stupid.

Now, if you've watched it and genuinely don't like it, then fine, that's your opinion. It's just when you start bashing it so much that it becomes a problem. It's like Twilight. Okay, I don't like the books. First time I read them, I thought they were okay. Second time around, I found a lot of stuff in them I didn't see before and just set them aside. I just don't like the series. I don't obsess about ranting over it because then you're just as bad as the hardcore fans that everyone gets ticked with. Honestly, I don't mind if you like the series. Just don't...talk about it every other word. (Oh wow, that sounds incredibly hypocritical coming from the resident Ramsey fan >> ) 

Anyways. Point is, don't knock something until you try it or become consumed with liking/disliking it. I tried Dr. Who, was pretty good, just too scary for me to watch ever again without huddling under the covers for two weeks straight. 

With that said, I am going to go listen to Taylor Swift while washing dishes.

(Oh yeah, more news on my life: My dog ran away. Cause the leash broke and she bolted. Stupid dog. >>

And I rediscovered how much I love Shania Twain! I used to know all of her songs, own every cd and all that fun stuff. 'Men's shirts, short skirts, woh-oh-oh-oh'...)

Life And All That Jazz

I'm going to do an update like Sare cause I haven't been blogging much, either. 

Okay, so, for one thing, Taylor's dragged me into MayNo. I was supposed to be shooting for 25k but I was like...This isn't November. I am not motivated. 

So that's not going so well. But, I wrote a little bit of I Dare You, a bit of a thing I'm not finishing cause it's just a source of eternal mortification, and this new story I love, Diary of an Imaginary Friend. Yeah, yeah, I know, it was supposed to be for NaNo, but I got impatient. And wanted to write. I'll have another idea by then. Hopefully. Maybe. I don't know yet, actually. Probably. >>

Kai's here for a week and a half. Till the 26th or something. My sister isn't 'cause she has work, but we get to have him for his birthday. He's so cuttee~ 

The reason we have to drop him off on the 26th is because on the 27th I'm leaving for Colorado! Yay! I'm going for this teen conference thing that lasts the entire weekend. Should be fun. I think it's about dating or something...can't remember.

I had my first horseback riding lesson today! It was fun. I'm going to be doing it every week now. And that will be REALLY fun. Next week, since Misty was too small for me to ride, I get REBEL. How wicked awesome is that name?! 

Kinda upset at how my group of friends is breaking apart. First it started with Sara dropping off the face of the planet because she went to "real" school and apparently thinks she's too cool for us now. And now Tayah's leaving because her parents are a bit upset and her and Meadjean are drifting apart. Hence why she wants to hang out with me more. Not that I don't want to, I love it. I just don't want to be replacing Meadj and the circle's all broken and it's upsetting. Although Mom says I should mind my own business and it's their thing. .____.

The Guild is going to have a season 4! That's exciting!

Heroes was cancelled. That's depressing and gives me suicidal thoughts.

So...yeah. I think you're pretty caught up with my life. Yep. That's it. Till tomorrow, anyways.

D: and 8D and ^^;

Sarah's gone. She left yesterday. I cry. 

I miss her muchly, but I KNOW that she's coming back this summer. She has to. It is here. It wants her. It NEEDS HER TO COME BACK.

Meanwhile, Taylor's dragged me into JulNoWriMo. As if I wasn't already trying to do MayNoWriMo. >> It should be...fun. The forum's certainly interesting so far. There's a girl that's nicknamed footsie and that reminded me of socks and I was going to tell her I wanted to call her that when I remembered Sare and I's matching nicknames and hers was socks and I got depressed all over again.

I'm happy we recorded 30 videos, though. Including a funny scene that was not, is not, and will NEVER EVER HAPPEN EITHER IN FF WORLD OR IN CANON WORLD just for Clairebear. We'll probably regret it later. But it'll make her laugh so it's worth it, yeah?

So I guess what I'm trying to say is: COME BACK MY SARAH I AM DEVASTATED WITHOUT YOU! But I hope it is warm and sunny in California and you will come soon to rescue It from my sugar-crazed clutches.
