So i feel bad for not posting anything here for a while so i'm gonna post a crappy poem we had to write in english. the assignment was to write a 6 stanza free verse poem. Each stanza had to be a different memory from our childhood, so yup. Heres my poem... oh and don't make fun of me...
The play train, the presents, the food, the family
The play train circling around the tree
The play train with Santa on the back
Christmas eve dinners, with the family
Waiting in line, to get on the ride
At Disney World waiting in line for Splash Mountain
At Disney World for the first time
Waiting, riding, having fun
Swimming in the pool
Swimming underwater
Ready to jump, plugging my nose
Falling to the bottom and shooting back up
Pink tutu, pink tights, pick ballet shoes
Twirling and leaping on stage
Recieving a golden trophy
My first time dancing on stage
First day of school, nervous, shaking
Holding and hiding behind my mom's leg
Finally letting go and walking in the room
Meeting new people, and making friends
Nigh falls, and the tent is ready
Everyone huddles near the fire
Trying to keep warm, surronded by friends
No sleep that night.
and thats the crappy poem. Happy Reading, and have a good week <33

Highschool Love?
Highschool Love. I have no expertise in this topic, as i have had no boyfriends yet in my life. Or even go on a date for that matter. But i'm not complaining just telling the truth i guess. Even though i have no first hand knowledge i know many people who have been successful AND the downright opposite. I know one couple who has been dating since 6th grade, still together and still happy. Then i know another girl who has been cheated on, taken advantage of and turned into someone she is not because of a guy. Now to get to the point of the post.
Love. Its a strong thing and i definitely believe highschool girls and boys can feel it, but sometimes i'm never sure. Some girls fawn over a guy for months and months, they finally go on a date and realize there is no spark. Or they don't go on that date and nothing happens, the girl moves onto a new guy in, it seems like a second.
Then there are the type of girls who are just friends with a guy when they realize maybe it could be something more... maybe they could take the chance and try the relationship deal. Two of my friends have had this happen and work. One has been going out for about half a year and the other one about 3 months and going to prom together. But how do you become a friend with a guy? It might be just me, but guys are hard to be friends with.
Then there are those poor girls, and i know one very well who gets played by the guy. One friend of mine started to go out with a guy to find out she was the OTHER girl, he was cheating on his girlfriend with her. He then broke up with the other girl to be with my friend. But how does she trust him? and apparently their "happy" but like i believe that for a second. Guys can be jerks, most of the time in high school they don't want you for you, they want you for something else. UNLESS you get the type of guy in my example above.
I was never interested in dating in high school. Guys are going to be guys. Once and a while yes you might a nice guy, but for me at least hasn't happened. But then come to think of it i don't really want a guy in my life. I know that sounds stupid i'm a high school girl whose sleepover's consist of the truth question, "Who do you like?" "Who do you think is hot?" but i guess it never occured to me. YES if a hot nerdy guy liked me, hell ya i would go out with him. Well of course i would have to like him back. But if he's nerdy i'm SURE we would get along great. But at the moment in time i'm fine where i am, i have my friends and family. And thats good enough for now.

Sick and Dead
So. Tuesday Night i was suppose to sleepover Casey's ( @werewolfluvr119 ) house but of course my stomach decided to be stupid. Lets just say i got the stomach bug and had to be picked up by my parents. not how i excepted to have fun. ugh. And that's just the START of my night.
So after this i got home still feeling disgusting, and still puking. My legs and fingers started to feel really tingly and at some points i couldn't even feel them at all. I couldn't eat or drink anything without throwing it up so i started to get a headache and my mouth was really dry.
My dad had to go out at about 2:40am to get me petalite drink stuff and diet coke. I tried sucking on crushed ice cubes, and then i would last about 3 minutes then i would puke them up again. Sounds like fun doesn't it?
All of a sudden at around 4am i had trouble breathing, and i was so weak i couldn't even move. That was the point when my mum knew i had to go to the emergency room, so my dad helped me in the car and we were off.
I have never been in an ambulance before and i never want to but that night it would have been good to be in one. This is because the ER is about 25 minutes away from my house and by the time i was in the car i could barely breath and my mouth was so dry i couldn't even swallow.
I finally got to the ER, my mum got my a wheelchair cause i couldn't stand. Once she got it there were 3 ER PEOPLE STANDING THERE and not one of them helped me into the wheelchair which shows how stupid people can be...
I finally got into one of the rooms after about 15 minutes of feeling like i was dieing. Once i was in there i had to get an iv in my arm and i HATE needles so i was like in tears. They told me i needed to get 3 bags of iv fluids because i was dehydrated. But once i started to get the fluids in me i felt much stronger and less shaky.
Next they put another bag in the iv thing, this one was for my nauseous stomach and this helped TONS. My stomach stopped hurting but the iv fluids were taking FOREVER to finish. The first iv fluid was done by around 5am. And they started the next one.
After this, another women came in with another needle and i started freaking out AGAIN. She had to take 3 tubes of blood to test something, like electrolights i think it was called... maybe. But ya i hated that cause needles + blood = me dieing.
So then i just kinda sat there watching infomercial after infomercial and each of them were about an 1 long each. I don't want and care about the Shark Steamer or the Hip hop Abs DVD. It really started to get on my mum and I's nerves. And its not like i could fall asleep or anything.
Then around 6am and on my 2nd bag of iv fluids the doctor finally said that i could eat something really small so she gave me a orange Popsicle and said to eat it slowly. I ate it and suddenly i felt like 50% better and i could actually feel my throat which was an improvement for sure. Then at around 6:30am i drank some ginger ale, i never really liked ginger ale but at that moment in time it tasted amazing since i hadn't drank anything for at least 6 hours.
So they finally switched me to my last iv fluid bag thing and said once it was done i could leave, it was around 7am now. This is when everyone goes home and more people come and so there was a lot of confusion with what room is who's but after this confusion was over everything was fine.
My mum used to work at this hospital so the new people that were coming in for the morning shift she knew loads of them. Random people coming in and saying Hi and talking about how they hadn't seen each other in 20 years or how they knew each other when my mum was 20. I was still kinda of out of it so i didn't listen to the old stories or about how old there kids were.
So it was finally about 8am when the last iv fluid bag was done and they pulled out the needle. I just started to feel how tired i was because i had been up for almost 24 hours. I got home at around 8:30 and fell right into bed and fell right to sleep.
So that's my "fun" night on tuesday. Don't you wish it happened to you? Oh i know it's exactly how you dream a sleepover with one of your best friends. But if you were wondering i am feeling better i haven't eaten anything solid except one cracker, only sherbet and popsicles but i think i can finally start eating REAL food soon. :) Yup, so i'm gonna go watch some more tv since thats all i can really do at the moment. love you all.

Doctor Who and Script Frenzy
Today has been a crazy day, first the people doing landscaping decided to run over the internet cable thing with the lawn mower. Which wasn't very nice so i didn't get internet back till around... i don't know 3:30ish. So for the first half of the day i pretty much just watched Doctor Who, i watched 4 episodes of the Third Series. I just started watching Doctor Who this year so i'm trying to catch up so i won' t be TOO far behind. I would just like to say that i liked Rose MUCH better then Martha but i guess she is growing on me...
Also while the internet was out, i wrote some more script frenzy. My friend, Casey, and I are doing script frenzy this month. The beginning of the month we decided that we would try and write a script for Deathly Hallows which ended up being really boring and never ending. So a couple days ago we scratched that whole script to start a new. Now we are writing about 2 different girls going through the same struggle and happiness of NaNoWriMo since that was pretty much how Casey and I became friends.
Later tonight, and by later i mean in about an hour i'm going to my friends house to watch The Hangover and just hang out. I haven't watched this movie yet but everyone is in love with it. I'm never really into these kinda movies though.. so lets hope for the best i guess. This was a quick blog post and all but i really have nothing else to say... Well how was everyone else's day? Did you meet someone new? Read a good book? Tell me. :)

WriYe ?
So hello everyone. Nice chatting with you.
I think i have decided to do a thing called WriYe
this is where you make a goal of how much you would like
to write in a year. I have decided my goal would be 150k.
it seem like a reasonable amount, eh? because i am planning
on doing NaNoWriMo again this year so that would already be 50k.
But the annoying thing is going to be counting EVERY word that
i have written so far this year. Might take me a while... but
i think its worth it and for some reason it sounds fun...
I probably will regret it later but whatever my friend has
convinced me to do it.
Everything counts though which is good. So this blog, my tumblr,
script frenzy, school stuff. Even skype conversations but i might
be too lazy to do that. Woah is it only 11:10? then i better start
counting my words!
Talk to you lot later!

30 of the most Satisfying Simple Pleasures
Someone posted this on tumblr so i thought i would repost it here. I love every single on of these and they are all so true... :) (besides like 2 or so)
1. Sleeping In on a Rainy Day – As the rain beats lightly against the window, you nestle your head deeper into your pillow. The sound is soothing and your bed feels like a sanctuary. There is no place you would rather be.
2. Finding Money You Didn’t Know You Had – You reach into your pocket and find a $20 bill from the last time you wore these jeans. You aren’t rich, but you are richer than you were a second earlier.
3. Making Brief Eye Contact with Someone of the Opposite Sex – You pass her on the street or in the subway. She glances up at you momentarily, making direct eye contact in a way that seems to communicate a subtle curiosity. For a split second it makes you think… and then it’s gone.
4. Skinny Dipping – There is something mysteriously liberating about being naked in a body of water. You are naked, but it feels natural, a sense of unrefined freedom.
5. Receiving a Real Letter or Package via Snail Mail – E-mail has become the primary source of written communication. Most snail mail these days is junk mail. When you check the mail and find a real letter or package from someone you know, excitement overtakes you as you tear into this rare gift.
6. Making the Yellow Light - It’s one of the most common simple pleasures, the act of beating the pack. As you blaze through the yellow light you glance in your rearview to see all the cars behind you stopping at the red light. Yes! You made it!
7. Telling a Funny or Interesting, True Story - One of the most enticing roles you lead in life is that of the storyteller. You love to share stories, especially those that will captivate your audience with deep curiosity and humor. There are few things more satisfying than telling a true story that others enjoy listening to.
8. Seeing a Friend Stumble Over Himself – As you walk across the street with your friend, he fails to accurately address the curb on the other side. He trips and stumbles around momentarily before regaining his footing, then swiftly attempts to play it off like nothing happened. This can be a hilarious sight if the moment is right.
9. Hearing the Right Song at the Right Moment - It doesn’t matter what the setting is, hearing the right song for that moment is one of those simple pleasures in life that instantly lifts your spirits. You could be driving home from work, hanging out at a bar with friends, or jogging. When the right song rattles your ear drums the entire meaning of life seems crystal clear.
10. The First Sip of a Beverage When You’re Thirsty – You just finished mowing the lawn or taking a long jog. The only thing on your mind is an ice-cold glass of water. When you are really, really thirsty, that first sip of any liquid beverage is sheer bliss.
11. Catching a Glimpse of Bare Skin on the Opposite Sex – For guys, it’s when the waitress bends over a little too far. For girls it’s seeing that buff guy in a Speedo. Either way, when you see a bit more skin than you were expecting on the opposite sex, you can’t help but to smirk on the inside.
12. Saying the Same Thing Simultaneously – There is a moment of silence. Then all of the sudden you and your friend blurt out the same exact set of words simultaneously. This rare occurrence is something to smile about.
13. The Pull-Through Parking Spot – You pull into a parking spot and are delighted to see the availability of the parking spot immediately in front of you. You pull through to the spot in front so that when you return to the car you can drive forward out of the parking spot. Why? Because driving backwards is a pain in the butt.
14. Realizing You Have More Time to Sleep – Something abruptly awakens you and you think it’s time to get up. Then you squint over at your alarm clock and realize you still have 2 more hours to sleep. A warm euphoric feeling shoots though your body as you glide gracefully back to your dreams.
15. People Watching – Sitting there on your bench you can see people in every direction. Tall people, small people, thin and plump. Blond, brunette, and redhead alike. Each of them has a different stride and a unique expression. As you drift from body to body you are mesmerized by what you see.
16. Putting On Clothes Straight from the Dryer – As soon as the dryer buzzes, you pull out your clothes and put them on. They feel soothingly warm on your skin and emit a fresh-scented aroma into the air. A sentiment of ease comes over you as you head out to conquer the day.
17. A Familiar Smell – You just pulled into your parent’s driveway and opened the car door. You haven’t been home in a long while. You smell familiarity in the air, the scent of a large pine tree in the neighbor’s yard. As you head through the front door, more familiar smells consume your senses. Gosh, it feels good to be home…
18. The Feeling You Get When Your Idea Works – You have been struggling to resolve a complex problem all day and you just can’t seem to get it right. Filled with frustration, you decide to exercise one last idea before calling it a night. You’ve had many ideas before that failed miserably… but this time it works.
19. Fresh, Clean Bed Sheets – You yank at the corner of the bedspread to create just enough space to slide your body under the freshly cleaned sheets. The sheets feel cool to the touch. Everything seems so clean, like nobody has ever slept in this bed before.
20. A Beautiful View – As the car veers around the side of the mountain you gaze out the passenger window. It’s a clear, sunny day and you can see the entire valley below filled with wild flowers and bright green vegetation. The scenery reminds you of something you once saw in National Geographic. But here it is live, right before your eyes.
21. Reminiscing About Old Times with Your Closest Friends – Pink Floyd once said “the memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime”. There is no simple pleasure more satisfying than recounting the greatest moments of your life with your closest friends who lived these moments alongside you.
22. Receiving an Unexpected Compliment – It’s been an average day. Nothing really great has happened, but nothing terrible occurred either. This monotonous day has put you in a dreary mood. Unexpectedly, an older, attractive lady taps you on the shoulder, calls you “handsome” and says she loves your shirt. The day just got a whole lot better.
23. Having a Good Laugh – Laughter is the greatest cure of all. Life is extraordinary in the moments when you are laughing so hard you can barely breathe. These moments of deep laughter are divine in the sense that they cleanse your mood and set your mind on a positive track.
24. The Feeling After a Healthy Workout - It’s a giddy feeling of self accomplishment; the one true activity that actually makes you feel better and look better simultaneously. When you walk out the front door of the gym you are on top of the world.
25. The Celebration in the Instant Something Makes Sense – Even now that it has explained to you for the third time, you just don’t understand how it works. Everyone else seems to understand but you. Then out of the blue the dots connect in your mind. You finally get it, and it feels great!
26. Relaxing Outdoors on a Sunny Day – As you relax sprawled out in a lawn chair, the sun warms your skin and a light breeze keeps the temperature comfortable. Birds are chirping merrily in the trees behind you. You are at complete peace with the environment.
27. Holding Hands with Someone You Love – Every time she grabs your hand you are overcome with an awareness of how much she means to you. Holding hands is sensual and physically intimate, yet subtle. There are few people you allow to hold your hand, so when it happens you can be sure that the moment is special.
28. Playing in the Water – Water marvels people of all ages. From jumping in puddles as a child, to doing cannon balls in the pool as an adolescent, to enjoying a cocktail in the Jacuzzi as an adult… water is enjoyable.
29. Making Someone Smile – You notice that your colleague has been under a great deal of stress with meeting a deadline, so you take it upon yourself to complete one of her indirect responsibilities for her. As soon as she realizes what you did, she comes into your office with a big smile on her face. “Thank you”, she says. You just hit two birds with one stone, because making her smile just made your day.
30. Finishing What You Started – You just finished up a big project you’ve been working on for the last few months, or maybe you just finished your first marathon… Either way, you finalized what you set out to accomplish. The feeling of self accomplishment you get when you finish what you started is by far one of the most rewarding simple pleasures life has to offer.
well i hope that made you smile or think of some one :)
Love you all!

18. The Feeling You Get When Your Idea Works – You have been struggling to resolve a complex problem all day and you just can’t seem to get it right. Filled with frustration, you decide to exercise one last idea before calling it a night. You’ve had many ideas before that failed miserably… but this time it works.
19. Fresh, Clean Bed Sheets – You yank at the corner of the bedspread to create just enough space to slide your body under the freshly cleaned sheets. The sheets feel cool to the touch. Everything seems so clean, like nobody has ever slept in this bed before.
20. A Beautiful View – As the car veers around the side of the mountain you gaze out the passenger window. It’s a clear, sunny day and you can see the entire valley below filled with wild flowers and bright green vegetation. The scenery reminds you of something you once saw in National Geographic. But here it is live, right before your eyes.
21. Reminiscing About Old Times with Your Closest Friends – Pink Floyd once said “the memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime”. There is no simple pleasure more satisfying than recounting the greatest moments of your life with your closest friends who lived these moments alongside you.
22. Receiving an Unexpected Compliment – It’s been an average day. Nothing really great has happened, but nothing terrible occurred either. This monotonous day has put you in a dreary mood. Unexpectedly, an older, attractive lady taps you on the shoulder, calls you “handsome” and says she loves your shirt. The day just got a whole lot better.
23. Having a Good Laugh – Laughter is the greatest cure of all. Life is extraordinary in the moments when you are laughing so hard you can barely breathe. These moments of deep laughter are divine in the sense that they cleanse your mood and set your mind on a positive track.
24. The Feeling After a Healthy Workout - It’s a giddy feeling of self accomplishment; the one true activity that actually makes you feel better and look better simultaneously. When you walk out the front door of the gym you are on top of the world.
25. The Celebration in the Instant Something Makes Sense – Even now that it has explained to you for the third time, you just don’t understand how it works. Everyone else seems to understand but you. Then out of the blue the dots connect in your mind. You finally get it, and it feels great!
26. Relaxing Outdoors on a Sunny Day – As you relax sprawled out in a lawn chair, the sun warms your skin and a light breeze keeps the temperature comfortable. Birds are chirping merrily in the trees behind you. You are at complete peace with the environment.
27. Holding Hands with Someone You Love – Every time she grabs your hand you are overcome with an awareness of how much she means to you. Holding hands is sensual and physically intimate, yet subtle. There are few people you allow to hold your hand, so when it happens you can be sure that the moment is special.
28. Playing in the Water – Water marvels people of all ages. From jumping in puddles as a child, to doing cannon balls in the pool as an adolescent, to enjoying a cocktail in the Jacuzzi as an adult… water is enjoyable.
29. Making Someone Smile – You notice that your colleague has been under a great deal of stress with meeting a deadline, so you take it upon yourself to complete one of her indirect responsibilities for her. As soon as she realizes what you did, she comes into your office with a big smile on her face. “Thank you”, she says. You just hit two birds with one stone, because making her smile just made your day.
30. Finishing What You Started – You just finished up a big project you’ve been working on for the last few months, or maybe you just finished your first marathon… Either way, you finalized what you set out to accomplish. The feeling of self accomplishment you get when you finish what you started is by far one of the most rewarding simple pleasures life has to offer.
well i hope that made you smile or think of some one :)
Love you all!

Hello there.
So i finally made a blog on blogspot, i have always wanted to, i think i had one for a while but i created about 2 posts and then forgot about it so hopefully i can remember about this one. I suppose i should introduce myself then? Then lets get on with it...
I'm a 15 year old, freshman in highschool girl who is in love with Severus Snape and Doctor Who. I am pretty much a huge nerd which makes high school hard sometimes which is one reason why i made this blog but i don't really care much. I love writing, twitter, youtube, reading and many other geeky things. I just begged my dad to buy me a Gameboy Color in atomic purple and TRYING to convince him to let me go to vidcon 2010 in California.
You want some more random facts? Well i wrote a 50,000 word novel in the month of November trying to write a 100 page script this mouth of April (failing) but i mean writing a novel and trying to write a script is very different. Script format KINDA annoys the crap out of me. Oh and if you haven't noticed i like to put emphasis on random words for no apparent reason.
So please don't leave the blog now. Because i have just started and i promise the other posts will be longer and A LOT more interesting then this one because i was just introducing myself. I'm sure you will get to know me a lot better if you stick around to read my blog and comment. :) So thats pretty much all i have to say.. follow me on twitter? its shopaholic3100 . kaa thanks, i'll try not to spam you out too much :P
Well thanks for suffering through my first blogpost!
until we meet again,
