Somewhere Only We Know -- Keane |
] |
I'm actually moderately happy right now. Another year is gone, yes, and my birthday is on a Sunday (not really a plus), but I'm making the most of it nevertheless.
Do you ever feel obligated to update your blog? I do. I feel like I'll regret it later on if I don't. You know? If I don't document or at least keep some sort of record of what I'm going through I'll probably forget it all.
So anyway... I said in my last post that I was going on a week long vacation and starting public school for the first time. I just got back yesterday and school starts in two days. ZOMG! Totally nervous!
As I said, I feel really obligated to post so I have a feeling this is going to be short and rambly. For my bday my sister gave me a whole bunch of stuff for school (like magnets for my locker and colorful markers I'll supposedly need when I'm bored), but the one the thing that really means the most is the CD I'm listening to right now. I asked her for a CD of all her favorite music so that I could know what she likes. So, yeah. I'm pretty happy about that present.
As I said in the beginning of this post, I'm only moderately happy. Why? Well... I'm getting older. But you'd think that at fifteen I'd be -- I dunno -- maybe a little more carefree? I feel like I care way too much about everything. I want to be like an average teenager, I suppose.

In my last post I vowed to myself I wouldn't go three whole months without updating this blog. Not a whole lot is worth telling, but I'll try to make my life seem more interesting than it is. :)
So, on August 25 I'll be flying out to Minnesota to visit some relatives. I'm pretty excited because I get to fly by myself. I did this once before last year (incidentally I was visiting the same relatives). But anyway, I'll be there for a week and I'll come back the night before my birthday. Personally, I'd much rather spend my birthday with friends or family than with strangers on an airplane, but I could've stayed an extra day.
Speaking of my birthday, it's on a Sunday! Major bummer! My mom said we're not skipping church but we can go out to lunch or something. I want to go to Olive Garden -- I always want to go there -- but she really hates it. I'll just get my grandma to take me there. :P Either way I'm still pretty excited about my trip.
The week before my flight I'm attending this program at the high school for rising freshmen. My sister volunteers there (not sure if that's a good thing or not) but I'm still kind of nervous. Everyone keeps telling me there's nothing to be nervous about, but I really can't help it. My biggest fears include me turning into some stereotypical clone, getting so swamped with homework I won't have any time for the Internet, making and losing friends, giving in to peer pressure, and countless others.
I know this may seem like the least of all my troubles concerning the mayhem of high school, but one of my bigger concerns is the stereotypical one. Obviously I'm not going to be a clone. For one, I'm not a preppy, moronic blond. In fact, I consider myself of a bit higher intelligence than some, not to sound self centered. My sister has this one friend who really makes me wonder whether or not anything goes on in her head (she cancels plans to wait for another friend to call, she runs errands minutes before she's supposed to come over, etc.). Get what I'm saying? I don't think I'm stupid or even just a bit scatter brained.
Furthermore, I don't listen to typical music. I think -- even though it's really minor -- that this is one of the defining features of my un-stereotypicalness (that's a new word). I like classical music, movie soundtracks, and a FEW in things. I usually don't listen to the radio so I'm really behind the times.
Also, there's my clothes. I'm really, really into clothes, make up, and all that girlie stuff. I don't think that really makes me vain, I just like to look nice. What I really hate is looking like other people. I don't go out of my way to look different but I don't want to look totally main stream. Most of the time I wear nicer clothes. Just today I got two moderately expensive dresses that I'm really excited about wearing (ugh! I need more places to go.).
I know I'm kind of rambling here. Enough about vacations and school. Okay, one more thing about school. I promise it's the last though! This week and next I really have to cram because I'm so friggin lazy. I have to read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and Mythology by Edith Hamilton. I am SO behind it's not even funny.
Seriously though, moving on. Today I got my hair cut and dyed. ZOMG! Isn't that exciting? I've never had my hair permanently dyed before and I've never been so happy with a haircut! The lady who did it pretty much insisted that I put a bit of red in my hair to bring out the natural color. I was sort of hoping for a really dark-brown/almost-black but I'm fine with anything as long as it's different. Naturally, my hair is a mix between dark blond and light brown, and now it's sort of dark brown with a bit of red. I really like it -- it's not too overwhelmingly drastic. My haircut is now short with a sort of swooping bangs thing on one side and then all feathery in the back. It's hard to describe, but I'm really happy with it (and I better be! My mom wouldn't pay for it.).
Since my last post two muchly awaited books have been published. One, more widely known, Deathly Hallows. You can get some of my input on that on SAYS, but for the most part it's just too difficult to put into writing. I was really happy with the whole book but the end seemed slightly anti-climactic. Sure, it was exciting, but I wanted a more triumphant, bittersweet end to the series. I have to admit, I was terrified for Harry, but I a teensy bit disappointed he didn't die. It would have been tragic of course, but it would have had more people talking. I think it would have been really moving.
The other of the two books, much less known, is Eclipse. It's the third installment in Stephenie Meyer's vampire romance series. I think some stories are more plot driven and the rest are more character driven. Harry Potter is a great mix of both but centers a little bit more on the plot. You may disagree with me, but if you read the vampire books, you know there was a big difference. They seem to center solely on the characters. Trying to explain the plot to someone would be comical. I think I may have contributed a tiny bit to Nic reading the first book and I pretty sure she liked it, but Marisa didn't. I think all the books are great though, no matter how crazy the plot. There's this one romantic scene in the first book that's just so eerie, intense, moving, and so many other things, and that's what makes it so remarkable to me.
This post seems really rambly to the extreme. Ah well, least I had something to say. Until next time!

I feel kind of guilty, not posting and all. It's been over three months since my last update. I definitely don't want to let THAT happen again.
Obviously, a lot has happened since my last blog. Nothing really interesting though. I finished school for the year, endured a violin recital (EEEK!), got to visit with my cousin who doesn't live nearby, watched all of my favorite TV shows come to an end for the season, went shopping many times =D, and altogether had a pretty good time. Last week I got to spend a lot of time with one of my friends and hang out in her pool.
Before school had ended it felt like there was just one big thing to dread after another. I think I had at least one quiz or test every week. Now that everything is over I'm a little sad. My brother is graduating from high school and it seems like I barely know him. I think it's been at least four years since we actually got along. That's one of the reasons I'm kind of dreading high school -- the things it can do to relationships... My friend who's a year ahead of me seems like a totally different person now (not to mention the new found use of bad words =P), but I'll get to more of that in a minute.
So yeah, my summer is progressing slowly. It seems like I have hardly any prospects. My Dad keeps saying that I'm lazy and don't do anything, but I feel like he's got it all wrong. How can he say that when he doesn't even know what I do? I feel like I hardly know him at all, too... Then again, I don't really make an effort with him or my brother.
So, on to high school drama (!) and all that fun stuff. I'll be a freshman this fall. Yeah, I'm turning 15 on September second. A year older than everyone else? Yes, you can thank my mother for that. You can probably tell I'm a little bitter. There is a bright side though: I'm short, I've always been short, I'll always be short; now I can fit in with my classmates. =D I'm still pretty nervous though. I don't want to give in to peer pressure or turn into some stereotypical clone.
My life is just a bag full of sunshine, isn't it? Well, I do have some things to look forward to. Pretty soon the Knight Bus will be at my library and I can get interviewed. I got a sign-up sheet the day they came out and there were only three left. Then I get to dress up for the book and movie releases.
I. Can't. WAIT!
I'm really, really, REALLY excited about all of it! Maybe I'll post some pictures. I think my Knight Bus interview (if I get one) will be online so I can see it. If it turns out half okay maybe I'll let some more people see it. =)

I haven't updated in sooo long. You may or may not know, but I'm a pet person and I also happen to have the smallest bedroom in the house (well, it's not too small...). On Tuesday I went to the pet store to buy a cage for my little guinea pig who outgrew the fish tank. His name was Junior Mint but I recently changed it to Dobby, because it just fits perfectly. :) While I was at the petstore I saw the cutest little hamster so I bought her and named her Claire.
Last night I went to the pet store again. :D Now I have a parakeet to add to my small collection. She's green, black and yellow and her name is Eden (but if her beak turns blue I'll have to rename him). So now I've got one of my pigs crammed in a corner of the room with Eden, another pig on the filing cabinet, a fish on the desk and a hamster on the other desk.
So, to sum up everything interesting that's happened since my last update, I just got Yahoo IM. Totally interesting, right? :P So... If you have YIM, go on and give me an add (it's infairi, as usual). Oh! And I'm also rereading OotP. It's way better than I remembered. If you're having a hard time rereading just watch the first movie again. I can't believe I forgot how good all the books and movies were.

Today was pretty awesome as far as my usual days go. I'd just come down the stairs for breakfast when my mom told me that school was canceled! A wee bit of snow can sure come in handy. ;-) So I got out of Spanish oral evaluation until Wednesday. I do have a fair bit of homework piling up but it's nothing I can't manage (if I couldn't manage something then why am I still here?). Needless to say no school makes me happy, even though it's just a giant procrastination.
Later when my mom took my sister to the orthodontist I was reading some new MySpace comments and remembered that it's Monday. Heroes!!! The second half of the season started tonight!! So I called my mom and asked her to pick up my friend on her way home so that we could watch Heroes together. So it was a pretty awesome episode. Hiro, Nathan, Isaac and Simone all started talking, Peter woke up from a coma and went off to look for this guy he dreamt about, Claire tried to bring back Zach's memory and Mohinder got a visit from Mr. Bennet. Ah, so exciting!
So.... that's about it. =) G'night.

Wow! A post that isn't friend's only! I decided that it doesn't really matter anymore, so all posts will be public unless it's a sensitive topic or something. How's everyone? For some reason I'm in a really good mood. :)
So, I don't know about you... but I'm up to date on all the Golden Globe nominations. Pretty geeky, eh? I honestly couldn't care the least for who wins Best Actress in a Comedy, but all of the actors who were nominated happen to be in shows that I love (30 Rock, Scrubs, The Office, Monk, My Name is Earl). I'm totally excited about Best Drama. I'm hoping Heroes will win.
Anyway, not much else to say right now. See y'all later!
