Ugh.

This post come in 6 parts:

1) Why do I always write posts so late at night? I'm dead tired, I feel like crap, and.... it's only 10:30. I suppose it feels later to me because I'm so tired. I've been staying up late the past few nights, because I've been reading the host -- I mean studying for finals! OK, I've been reading, but I've also been studying. I'm serious!

2) Yesterday I took my Bible final (I go to a Christian School), so that's one down, five to go. This Wednesday, the fourth, is my last day of school. Not only is it a half day, but I also get out early because I only have one test that day! YAY!


3) I also got The Host by Stephenie Meyer for my birthday, which was last Thursday. IT'S FREAKIN AMAZAZING!!!!!!!!! I love it! I'm not going to say anymore about it unless you ask, because I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

4) My birthday was last Thursday- I'm 15 now. There's no difference, 15 isn't that special of a birthday, and I always hate it when people say "How does it feel to be__(insert number here)?" I don't know why, it just does.

5) My high school's graduation was today, and I think that's part of why I'm so tired. I had to be there because I'm in band and choir, and obviously band was playing. I HATE "Pomp and Circumstance" with a burning, fiery, passion in my soul!
I don't know about other schools, but at my school the choir always sings at graduation. I currently have no voice whatsoever, so singing was a bit difficult for me. I mainly lip-synced. shh, don't tell anyone!

6) Yesterday my school had a concert featuring two local bands to raise money to send a group of students to Spain with our non-existent Spanish Club. The trip is actually open to anyone who wants to go, as long as they've taken at least a year of Spanish, but freshman aren't allowed to go. I had to be there because I'm going on the trip, which should be really fun! I can't wait!

Anyway, the concert was really good, but not many people were there- I'm guessing around 50 or so, and that included the people going on the trip who had to be there if they wanted money. It was actually kind of funny. The concert was so small and there was nowhere to sit, so everyone there was in the mosh pit, but no was was dancing or moving, they were just standing there! I clapped though, and I jumped around a little. During the first bands performance, I also took part in a "conga line" and ran around the gym. It was fun!

Wow. I managed to write a fairly long post. Cool. However, territerri commented on my "Blog on Blogging" (which was really cool- I freaked out! Don't laugh, she was the first person I started reading! I can't believe I just admitted that on the Internet...), and she said longer isn't necessarily better, and I guess she's right. I guess blogging also becomes better with practice. I've learned that in Vloging, as well with editing.

See Ya!

A blog on Blogging

So, I want to write a post, but I really don't know what to write. I mean, really, what does one write in a blog? I suppose I could write about my day, but school doesn't take up much space in a blog.

I always feel like I should have long posts, but I can never quite fill up the space to make a post long.

I'll admit it, blogging doesn't come easily to me, like some people. I honestly wish it did. At first I assumed it was my age; I'm 15, and I'm growing up in an age of Video Blogging. (Vlogging) I first started reading territerri, then huckdoll, and their both older than I am (not that much older, huckdoll's in her 20's) , and I assumed it would come easier to them, since they grew up doing more writing. Then I started reading Kaley. (owlssayhooot) Kaley's entries were long, and they seemed to come so easily to her! Why?

"What's her secret?!" I would ask myself day after day. I honestly still don't have an answer. I think one just needs to sit down at their computer and make themselves write, as I am doing now.

Well, whad'dya know? I seem to have written a fairly long post. Of course, I'll probably publish this, and it will probably be really, really, short. (Excuse my sucky grammar. ; ). Curse the blogger... box that you type in... It makes posts seem so frikin long, then you post them and they're so short...

Anyways, I'll see you guys later.

PS: I just realized I can preview my posts! Darn, that completely contradicts nearly everything I say in my post... Jeez Louise that sucks.

Busy Bee!

Tonight at my youth group, we're going to see Prince Caspian. I'm pretty excited; I've been a Narnia fan since I was young. I'm a bit nervous, though, because I've heard that it's been changed a bit. The realigning of scenes I understand; the book IS pretty hard to adapt to a screen without causing confusion. However, I've heard that violence was added. I know the book is violent, but I read an article in one of my moms magazines that battle plans that were only considered in the book were played out in the movie. I'm not sure how that will affect the flow of the film; I guess I'll have to wait and see.

I don't really know how to end this... I have nothing to say, but I don't want to post something this short...

Well, I guess this is it. I, being a teenager, have to do chores. I really don't mind, my rooms getting really messy... I'll see you later!

Songwriting

When I write a song,
I'm putting my emotions into words,
Putting them on paper.
It doesn't matter if the song is good,
Or bad.


I use my pencil as a floodgate
To get rid of all my dammed up emotions
Such as fear and anger.

I let my joys loose, too,
So everyone can share them.
Because the flood of emotions in this world
needs more joy,
more happiness,
more LOVE

5 parts

This blog is coming to you in 5 parts. (Anyone out there that would get that?)

1) Guess what!

My parents went on a cruise. WITHOUT. ME. THEIR. OWN. FLESH. AND. BLOOD. THEIR. FAVORITE. AND. ONLY. DAUGHTER. I don't blame 'em, though, for leaving me behind. The cruise WAS for their 20th anniversary...

2)In other news, my school is starting a traveling choir, and I will be auditioning for that soon. Wish me luck!

3) Speaking of school, I promised I would write a post on Oklahoma!, and I was going to do it now, but blogger isn't letting me upload the pictures, so I do it the next time I get a chance. It will probably be Tuesday, But I'm not making any promises!

4) A few questions about blogger:
a) How do I make a blog roll?
b) I do I know if I get any subscribers?
c) How do I liveblog?

5) I wrote some more! Here is a little blurb-thingy that I wrote. Its warm and fuzzy-ish, not like my general "emo-ish" style, but I was in a good mood when I wrote that. More stuff to come soon!


Who are we to try to take the place of God? We’re always saying “This is the way the earth is,” and it’s not. God created the world, and were apart of the creation. We’re meant to glorify God, not try to be God! God made the world a certain way—we can’t change that, so why are we trying to? God is a writer, and WE are his story.
And with that, I say Good night! Good night!
... don't ask. I'm hyper.
HYPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
