Woo

so our county fair started on tuesday, i think it was, and it ended sunday. fair is always an interesting time for me. and not to mention busy. like a month before the fair started i was trying to get all my projekts done. then, i had to get them all judged by these old bitchy people who had no idea what they were talking about most of the time. nothing beats that.

tuesday was a pretty slow day. just a lil bit of judging and then the showchoir im in did a small performance at night. i also saw this kid named andrew who i hadnt seen since last years fair. he assured me that he was not creepy anymore (we'll talk about that later)

wednesday was pretty kick butt. i had two showchoir performances in the blazing heat. mother nature has no sympathy (yes it was like that all week). the part that was awesome was when like ALL of my friends came to the second performance. made me so excited. then after the performance we went on rides and stuff. my friends liz and annie hung out with andrew cuz im pretty sure that andrew and liz were majorly crushing on eachother. annie said that andrew must bathe in awesomesauce (we'll talk about that later) i thought it was cool that they were hanging together. it was kinda cute. so yeah, me and the other people hung out. yay! i went on this one ride called the mega drop. i swear it was the greatest thing ever. nothing else can make you feel like ur flying and dying at the same time. i felt infinite.

thursday brought on two more performances. same shit different day.

friday was another two performances.

saturday aka my off day started with me freezing my lil butt off in this one overly air conditioned building. after that my friend annie came back to the fair and we hung out. we found andrew again which both of us were pretty excited about. cuz the kid bathes in awesomesauce (well talk about that soon). we walked around and just talked about the most random things. then andrew had to leave for a while so me and annie were pretty bummed. as night killed day, people started causing problems and i wasnt having it. first, me and my friend jocelyn had made corbin bleu shirts cuz he was performing that day. im still not sure what her deal was that night but she was lying to me and to my mom about what we were doing. she told me she didnt wanna come to the fair but she told my mom that we were at the concert together. wtf? so yeah i decided it wasnt worth my time so i dropped it cuz annie was better than her anyway. we eventually found andrew again cept he was with these two fat whores. he even had the nerve to say "you guys could follow us but you wont get any attention" WTF? so i sorta told him off and then apologized to annie for getting her hopes up cuz i knew that he does this every year. how stupid was i for thinking that people are capable of change. well we got over it and we continued walking and we had some pretty good conversations about everything. the past, things we hate, families. it was a good day i guess.

sunday jocelyn decided to be normal again and i never saw andrew. there were two more performances, some selling of cream puffs and eclairs, and lots of projekts to pick up. i was exausted and very happy it was over tho it went by fast.

that was my week

i♥DemetriMartin

i added a new video bar at the bottom of my blog. it's below the playlist in case you get lost along the way. it's a bunch of videos from my favorite comedian, Demetri Martin. if your wondering why he's my favorite...i don't give a damn. i'm gonna say it now anyway. i love his goofy drawings, i love his lil songs, i love how his jokes are simple yet extremely amusing, and i love how he tends to talk in a sorta monotone voice. it's great. i could watch him all day. so you should check him out cuz i'm hoping he won't make you laugh. instead, you'll be all like "wtf, this girl is stoopid" and thats exactly how you spell stupid also. wow, ironic right?

i've also really been enjoying the color yellow lately. and idk y...

FunFunFun

okay, so my brother just got his drivers license a couple of months ago and he got a car (truck). i just love driving around with him cuz he never knows where he is going so we just shout at eachother like "no! turn here. fuck! you passed it!" and "oh shit, we're gonna die". i especially love it when he stops paying attention and we almost run into the curb. haha! i also love the fact that he plays his music really loud (and he likes hippie music) so then people stare at us like "wtf?".

so what if it's not the safest way to drive...at least its fun.

Ma Weekend

okay, so yeah. my weekend was pretty eventful (and lots of fun) so i've decided to write about it HERE. mkay? good!

it all started on saturday...i had a 4-h showchoir performance pretty early in the morning (no, i was not enthused) and it was a lil rainy. but afterward, my friend jocelyn was all like "hey, i totally want to take some pictures of you for my photography project" (we be in 4-h together) and i was all like "woah! really? sounds like fun". so we went downtown (luckily it had stopped raining by then) and the first place we went to was an awesome antique store. there, i discoverd my new love (aka, antique stores...just to state the obvious). i mean, it was actually REALLY fun. they had all these old books, some from the 1800's, and records and jewlery and some really odd things. then, we went outside and took some picures in front of old buildings and in front of this one mural that all the paint was chipping off of cuz of all the floods we've been having (yeah, it smelt like fish down there). they turned out really good, mostly the ones outside.

continuing on with the night, i went to this retirement party with jocelyn. it was for a lady that has acted in many plays with jocelyn and i knew her also. jocelyn's sister, sydney, and our friend samantha came too. if ya ever wanna know ways to make a retirement party fun, here's what we did:
(yes in list form...cuz i really like lists)
1) me and jocelyn played softball with blackberries (our hands were stained purple lawl!)
2) karaoke! there was lots of singing there (cuz there were lots of people who do plays and stuff there) so all four of us got up there and sang My Heart Will Go On...very badly. cuz it was fun
3) we made fun of all the whores that kept singing whorish songs (this one fat girl was wearing a thong and it showed everytime she bent over)
4) dance the casper slide...BACKWARDS! we bugged the dj for 30 mins just to get him to play the casper slide (which someone video taped and said they would put it on youtube...no word of that yet)
5) finally, we ate frosting...cuz cake is overrated but frosting is awesome

after the many events of the retirement party, we headed over to jocelyn and sydney's house and played ddr and went on the computer (where we checked out the pics of me that jocco took). after a while (it was going on 10pm) we spontaneously decided that bowling would be fun. so we went to the bowling alley and did glow bowling for 2 hours. it was awesome cuz we brought high lighters and drew on ourselves so we would glow.

i didnt end up getting home until around 1am (by then sunday had already started i guess) and even tho all that happened, i managed to get my butt out of bed at 5am so i could go to this softball tournament. its the 4-h softball tournament and i go to it every year (but i never play). i love it for some odd reason. but this year wasnt as fun as usual. most of the time, i walk around and be the assistant coach of my club's team. but this year i was angry at my club (cuz they were being sneaky and trying to break the rules). also, it was extremely windy and colder than usual. anyway, i decided to help with "behavior patrol" which means i basically made sure everyone was following the rules (no, i did not bust my own club's team). so yeah, whenever someone had a problem, i just pulled out my handy dandy rule book and was like "put a number on that kids shirt or he ain't playin at all, beyotch!". it was funny cuz all these adult coaches had to listen to a lil 14 year old cuz i had the rule book and they didnt. na na nana na!

so wooo! that was my unusually eventful and fun weekend. i loved mostly every minute of it!

Drop It Already

i'm sick of wanting things i can't/don't have. i always always always think "i wish i could have this" or "i wish i had enuf money to buy that". it's upsetting that i can't just be happy with the things i already do have. instead, i have to sit around wanting things that i don't have enuf money to get. i feel like i need to buy all these new cds, a better i-pod, and movies in order to be happy. i'm jealous that i can't always see the movies that are just coming into theaters or that i can't afford to go on all these amazing vacations or buy new clothes all the time. i just wish i had more money to do and buy stuff in general, but i don't and i should really get over it and learn to accept the facts.

but money and such material posessions are not the only thing i wish i had. i also wish i could be with someone, but this someone does not feel the same way. i kill myself over the fact that i'm not with them and it hurts me when they don't always talk to me. it would be nice if i could just accept them as my friend and move on. however, i'm stuck just wishing things would change.

i also wish i was more musically inclined. i wish i could play some sort of instrument. i wish i was more artsie. i wish i could make amazing things. i wish i was a poet. and i wish i was more confident. and even tho people tell me that i'm a good artist, i don't beleive them and i just keep wishing that i could make art like Vincent van Gogh or something.

i just refuse to accept my life and myself for what it is and who i am. and that deeply bothers me. i'm sick of being jealous of other people and i'm sick of feeling poor because i am not poor. why can't i just drop it already?

The Dark Knight

i guess you could say it's not even funny how much i wanna go see the dark knight. it comes out on july 18 and i REALLY wanna see it. not just cuz it's batman (even tho i love batman) and not just cuz of heith ledger, but cuz i think it looks amazingly cool. i like the way it was filmed and i like the way the joker looks completely mental and out of his mind. it looks like a crazy movie and an extremely interesting one at that. however, i dont think i'll get to see it cuz i have no one to take me considering the fact that my mom hates movies like that. which means that i will just have to wait an extra couple of months so i can rent it at blockbuster. this happens all the time and i can't help but think i'll never see a movie in theaters again.

Tired and Lonely

okay, so i've been mega lonely lately. my brother is gone on a trip. my mom is always at work or taking night classes for college. my bestest friend, katie, is gone at camp. whenever i text someone, they never text me back. so i haven't had anyone to talk to for a while. and when i do get lonely, i go on the computer and there is never anyone online. no matter what site i go to. it's endless, cuz i go online like 10,000,000 times a day, even tho i hate it, and there is never anyone on but i just keep on checking.

"insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." ~Albert Einstein
[yes, katie. i stole that from morgan. what she doesn't know won't hurt her]

so yeah, while i sit home alone and rot on the computer, i think about all the things i need to get done. i'm in 4-H and our county fair is coming up pretty quick. that means that i should be getting all my projects done. yeah right, i'm a friggin' procrastinator so i'm not getting them done anytime soon. but just thinking about all the work i have to do is killing me. here's my list...completed and yet to get done:

[ ] Pillow
[ ] Re finish an end table
[x] collage
[ ] Chalk Pastel Drawing
[ ] Photography project # 1
[ ] Photography Project # 2
[ ] Essay thing

i've started on most of these things, but i still have a lot to do. therefore, i'm gonna be mega busy this week. i'm gonna force myself to stay off the computer for the majority of the day.

basically, i'm feeling very unmotivated and not creative this month. this lovely month of july. i just dont wanna do anything except sit around and eat. i cant even come up with interesting things to talk about with people. i've read my friend's posts on her blog and i can't even come up with anything interesting to reply. i think i'm just being anhedonic. cuz it's summer and i'm missing my friends and i have to go to highschool next year. which makes me think that i'm afraid to grow up...and i should really do some self-reflecting.

Im not quite sure where im gonna go with this...

i havent been doing much lately except sitting around my house and thinking. basically, thinking about everything. but there has been one thing thats just bothering me a lot. its not that big of a deal, but have you ever felt that the internet is just a bunch of liars? i mean, have you ever been on a site like MySpace and you go to some persons profile and you just feel like nothing that person is saying is real? like their entire profile is one big lie? from their pictures that you couldve sworn youve seen on google before (or even on some other profile) to their outrageous blog entries about all these concerts that they go to and all this other stuff. idk, i guess there is no way to prove that these people are 100% liars. it just feels like a lot of people on the internet are not being themselves...they're just trying to make their lives sound cool so they can get a ton of friends.

the reason i started thinking about this is because i go on this one site called flashflashrevolution.com. yeah, its kinda lame and i mostly go on there to play the game. but thats not the point. its the fact that i go on peoples profiles and they have pictures on there of people that arent even them. there are a lot of guys on there who put pictures of Sonny Moore on their profiles and theyre like "I look good in this picture" and then you see all these girls who comment and say "oh you look sooo hot" and "your hair is gorgeous, i love your piercings". those girls are just stupid cuz you can tell the person is lying when 10 other guys have that same picture of Sonny Moore and their trying to pull it off as themselves. i just like it when some REAL person comments and is like "haha! i love Sonny Moore. Isnt he great?" cuz then everyone else knows that one person is lying.

another situation i hate is when you see the same picture from profile to profile of some kid with black hair, tons of eyeliner, and that special little Hawthorne Heights shirt. its the same goddamn picture on EVERY profile. you can tell all those people did is go on google and search "emo boys" to find pretty little pictures so they could get girls. and then all the people start fighting and saying "dude! you stole my picture!". no each of you stole the picture off of google so get a life.

then youve got your girls and boys who like to say things such as "im gay!" "im lesbian and single! wanna hook up?" or "im a model for *insertpreppystorenamehere*". c'mon, youre just asking for attention. but its the people who are suckers for those things that bother me the most. the people who are stupid enuf to be like "wow! seriously? thats so cool. i wish i was a model" or the people who go along with the lies and say "im gay too. we should totally date". that brings me to another topic. internet dating. not like, going on dating websites to get into a serious relationship like on Match.com but just claiming that youre going out with so and so when actually so and so is prolly "going out" with 5 other people on the internet.

the whole fake internet persona thing just bothers me. why lie just so you can get a bunch of friends? "well i dont have many friends in real life so i just wanted to know what it feels like to be liked by other people". youve got it all wrong, stupid. maybe you would have friends in real life if you werent such a COMPULSIVE LIAR. its not rocket science. if you dont think people on MySpace or Facebook will like you for who you are, then dont bother going on there to begin with.


im sorry for just sorta ranting about that. it really isnt that big of a deal but it gets annoying real quick.
