Okay, so random topic today: Who else loves rain, or is it just me? Well... I'm just wondering because it rained here, today. I know, it's random, talking about rain of all things on here, but--I just love rain! It soaks your hair, and it feels really good when it comes into contact with your skin. No? Or is that just me who loves the way rain feels, the way rain smells? Yeah... I think it's just me. But anyway, it rained here, today. It only rained this morning, but it still nonetheless rained. The thing about it that disappointed me was that it stopped raining once I got outside. :( That was the only thing I hated about the fact that it rained. |

Okay, so sorry that I haven't really posted anything about my life or anything of that sort in awhile. I guess I just haven't really thought that was life was that interesting so I haven't really posted anything because of that thought. So this is going to be a list (possibly long, not sure) of what's been going on in my life. Here, we go: 1. The boy issue is yet to be solved. You see, my crush and a friend of mine were dating, which is kind've why I was so hesitant about telling him that I like him. Well... she broke up with him (or so, I've heard from my friend Gaby, but I'm not sure). Anyway... he was depressed over her breaking up with him so Gaby gave him a hint that I liked him, but he figured out it was me (somehow), and apparently according to Gaby, he's okay with me liking him. He's pretty much pretending that he doesn't know so that I can tell him (apparently). However, I'm not sure, still. Should I tell him that I like him or not? I mean, this is an unsure topic for me at the moment. Also, I haven't really seen Josh in awhile. You see, we don't have any classes together this school year, except Public Speaking, but that's next Semester. We have homeroom together, but that's about it, and my friend Erin is in that class with me too... so yeah. Haven't talked to him in awhile, or seen him in awhile. So yeah... There's more going on in my life, but I don't want to post a super LONG journal entry on here so this should be enough, for now. Hopefully, I'll be able to get my grade up in social studies. I think I'll study though so that can be possible for me. Cheers, in the hope that I'll do better in social studies because I so don't want socail studies to ruin my life like it always does anymore.

The number one thing that I am the most passionate about is my writing. I'm passionate about my writing because... I just am! I love writing stories, poems... anything. Everything with writing, for me, is something that I really REALLY enjoy. I've enjoyed it for awhile now, but as of right now, I haven't really been in an inspiration mood. What I mean is that I do absolutely fine when we have to come up with poems and stories in my creative writing 2 class, but when I'm at home, and I'm in the "writing mood," I get writers block, which really irratates me to death. So instead, I've been in a musical mood lately. What I mean is that I've been listening to songs that I like, but I've been paying attention to the lyrics and what the singer I'm listening to is saying and what I think it means. I'm analyzing music, basically. I've also been in the mood for music lately, like, wanting to play a guitar or a piano, things of that sort, things that I haven't really thought of. I mean, I used to play the violin, but after 8th grade, I had enough of playing violin so I stopped orchestra after that because I lost interest, and I didn't want to do something that I wasn't really interested in and end up doing terrible because of it. I still have my violin though,( it's in my room) so maybe practicing my violin might help? I don't know... sorry I got off topic like this, but--- this is the only thing I can think of writing about for this. I mean, I have no other inspirations/passions that I want to pursue or anything. I've never had an interest in being a doctor, a social studies teacher (I admit, I wanted to be a teacher when I was little, but not a social studies one.), or anything of that nature. P.S. I'm sorry that I haven't written in my LJ journal in awhile. Nothing in my life that I can think of that isn't in my personal journal at home is what I'd call interesting at this point. My life is pretty boring, mostly... But... I can try to post information on my personal life in another entry, another day. Okay? |

My bests would be: 1. Dracula by Bram Stroker- I loved how the author wrote the story as journal entries and how the entries all tied together into the plot of the story. That, and the characters in the book as well. 2. Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer- I like this book because I thought the plot was interesting and I loved the characters in these books (even if others don't). 3. On Writing by Stephen King- A good book, describing Stephen King's views of writing and gives alot of information about his life--- how he started off with writing, and other interesting points. 4. Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling- One of the best series that I've ever read! Love the characters and the plots in each of the books. Always makes me want to read more. Worst book (only one book I can think of right now): 1. All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque- In my English class, we read this book, and it was the most BORING thing I've read in my life. The story the way the author wrote it made me almost fall asleep in my seat. |

I think books being banned from school libraries in general is stupid. I mean, we are trying to get us teenagers to read, so why can't every book be in the library? The only thing I think should be banned from EVERYWHERE is porn. It shouldn't be produced AT ALL! Other than that, I'd be fine with any book a child or teenager reads, as long as they are mature about what they are reading, and it doesn't have a negative affect on them. Banning a book doesn't help people from reading it; it might just get more people interested in the book and make people wonder why it's banned in the first place. Besides, books are made to entertain and inform the readers about things, and people read books for those purposes. I also think that when people are reading a book that gets banned, they take it TOO SERIOUSLY!!! For instance, if you read a book and a dog get's inqured or hurt, and you write a letter to the author complaining about it. First of all, IT'S JUST A BOOK! Second, things like that happen all the time so you shouldn't just complain to the author because a dog dies in a book. Some books are sad, and that's how their meant to be. In my opinion, this is why books shouldn't be banned; people just take them too seriously, that's all. |

Yes, I believe in astrology. I find stuff like that interesting because it's just- cool, looking at things like that. My birth sign is Capricorn, by the way. I usually do look at horoscopes, almost everyday just to see what they say, even if they don't always come true, I love looking at them to see what they say about me for that day. It doesn't bother me if people make assumptions about my sign. I'm a Capricorn, and Capricorns apparently are very hard working, stubborn, and successful and those three things fit me, espically the stubborn part. I just like astrology and things like that because they all seem pretty cool, even if others are non-believers. |

My life has been kind've... complicated this week? First of all, I now like one of my good friends. We've been friends since my Freshman year of High School and now, I like him. I like him because he makes me laugh, he makes me smile, I'm always happy when I spend time with him, and I love hanging out with him, and because I feel like he understands me. Those are most of the reasons of why I like him. This in itself is kind've complicated because I want to tell him how I feel, but I don't know when I should. I know I should when the time is right, but at the same time, I WANT to tell him so that he at least knows how I feel about him. Also, this week has been very interesting. First of all, we now have a stray cat that sits on our front porch that we've started to give cat food. She doesn't have a name yet, but I've been calling her Luna so hopefully that name will be hers. I hope. Anyway, it's also been complicated because some things have been going on. What I'm trying to say is that someone my mom kind've knows, someone who she helped find a job, died in a car accident and apparently one of my friends saw the car accident and has been having nightmares about it ever since. Then on Friday, I went to the Greek Festival. It was fun, and I really enjoyed going. We ate, walked around, and then left because there really wasn't that much to do at the Greek Festival really besides look at the stuff they have there that you can get. Yesterday, Josh (my friend that I have a crush on), Gabi, and I went to Carowinds for a series of concerts that where going on there. It was Christian type music (kind've), but at the end, each band talked in a small way about God and how he's there watching over us. We saw the concerts at two after going on some rides at Carowinds. It was fun, and I really enjoyed going. My favorite band (yes, I have a favorite) there was Skillet, but that's because I listen to their music and they where the main reason why I came, besides to have fun at Carowinds and spend time with my friends. I also got a Skillet shirt, which I'm reallly excited that I got one. Gabi was going to get one, but she didn't have the money for one, and Josh already had a Skillet shirt that he was wearing yesterday. Other than the fact that I want to tell Josh that I like him, which I came close to doing yesterday, this week has been a good week for me. I'm excited for whatever more adventures I'm being put up to dealing with.

1. Writing- it is my dream, something I really want to do in the future. Also, it helps me express myself and let out my creative side. 2. Music- I love listening to it! I love the beat of music and how it sounds when put together to create a song. I also love the lyrics in a song because it gives the song plenty of meaning. 3. Reading- I love to read! I love how when I read a book, I travel to many different lands, how I can better understand the characters, and how I can descipher everything that is going on throughout the book that I'm reading. I also love the language that is captured in a book and the style of which a book is written. 4. Friendship- My friends are some of the most important people in my life. They mean the world to me and help me with understanding others too. Plus, I can sometimes find good inspiration from them if need be. 5. Family- My family is as important as my friends. They are always there for me when I need them and will always be able to back me up and will always be there for me for support when my friends aren't around to help me out. 6. Dreams- I love dreams that I have! Everyone's dreams are different and I love how you can try and discover what your own dreams that you have mean. 7. Sisterhood- I have an older sister. She and I get along great, and have a strong bond together. She, like my family and friends is one of the most important things in my life. She will always be there for me and give an open ear to me if I need her advice. She gives me courage, and plenty of other things and I truly love her.

The thought of technology advancing more than it already is kind've scares me. It scares me because if there's more technology in the future, there will be more greed, more violence, more bad stuff that comes with it. Also I think as generations go on and continue, technology has made us all more lazy because more people (such as myself, I will admit) use technology, such as computers everyday, and don't exercise and do something that is generally good for them and that will keep them healthy in the future. I think this is what technology will continue to do to us all, and that if we don't stop now trying to make the world more advance in technology which'll then make the world a much better place (kinda), then we will end up as a civilization that will be getting closer to doom.

I think it goes both ways: there are some things I'd rather not know about, but at the same time, it should be a price for being famous. I think this because people make such a BIG DEAL of celebrities, like for instance, if one celebrity dies, you hear more about it than if a normal person dies, you just hear, "oh they're dead. They had a good life while they were alive," but when it comes to a celebrity dying, it's almost as if the world is ending... people just make too much of a big deal over their deaths. Days and weeks go by when a celebrity is dead, and it's ALL YOU EVER HEAR ABOUT every single day! That's when talking about celebrities is taken too far. In my opinion, there are just some things that are better off none of us knowing, and then, there are some things that we should know about. The stuff we should know about is if they are doing drugs and such, things that aren't too personal and that we should be able to hear about. Other than that, I could care less about a celebrity. |

I have three favorites out of all of the seven Harry Potter books. 1. Goblet of Fire- I liked it because of everything that happened that year. From the Triwizard tournament to facing Voldemort in the end. It was an interesting read. 2. Half-Blood Prince- It showed the more teenage sides of the characters. It showed more of how mature and crazy they've become and all of the romance and love drama going on between some of the characters. It was also a good read because of how they show Voldemort's past back when he was known as Tom Riddle. 3. Deathly Hollows- Interesting because it's the conclusion of the series. Also because I was wondering how they all were going to get all seven of the Horcruxes and how the book was going to end. Of course, the book ends on a happy note and divulges into interesting stuff about Snape that I never knew before. |

With my mom I am. I'm close with my mom because she's always there when I need her, and always loves me for who I am. She's one of the first people that I'd call if I was having problems in my life. In that way, she is a friend. With my step-dad, I am not. He's always annoying and always bosses us around as if he was at work. He's always mean, makes fun of people and is the type of guy that I wonder why my mom even thought of marrying. I wish everyday that they wheren't married and each day, he just gets worse. Other than that, I have a deep conection with my mom. |

okay, so I'm going to post a Meme with questions about books that I saw on a friend of mines journal. 01. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack? I usually don't because I don't want to get food on the book. 02. Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you? No, I never have. It just makes reading the book more difficult. 03. How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears? Laying the book flat open? Dog ears. I know it's not exactly a good idea, but it makes it easier for me to know what page I'm on. I sometimes use bookmarks too. 04. Fiction, Non-fiction, or both? Fiction. They are more interesting, but if I find any good non-fiction books, then I'll read them. 05. Hard copy or audiobooks? Hard copy. The only time I've done audiobooks is when we go up to my grandmother's and when we come back, but it always seems like slow reading to me. I like audiobooks, but I'd rather read the book itself. 06. Are you a person who tends to read to the end of chapters, or are you able to put a book down at any point? Both. At times, I read until I get to the end of the chapters and then I stop, but most of the time I put my book down at any point, but if a sentence continues on to the next page, I reread the sentence. 07. If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop to look it up right away? No, I usually end up forgetting about it in the end anyway. Most of the time, I can understand the book even with words in it that I don't know. 08. What are you currently reading? It's called Circle of Quilters and so far it's a good book. The next book I'll be reading is My Sister's Keeper. 09. What is the last book you bought? hmmm... I bought three books at once at a book sale that was going on at the library that my grandmother used to work at. I don't remember what the books where called though... 10. Are you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can you read more than one at a time? One at a time. Reading more than one book at a time can be confusing. 11. Do you like re-reading books? Yes! I like re-reading books because you might see something that you missed the first time you read it, and because I love reading books over again that I've already read before. |

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. I've had no inspiration of anything to post on here. I mean, I could dribble information about my summer and stuff, but I don't want to post that on here. I just... don't. I have my own journal that I usually write in about my days and stuff, but I just- just can't think of anything important that I can say on here today, or at all. When I can think of something really interesting to write on here, I'll let you know. Thanks for reading this! :) |

I have many ideas of what a perfect summer vacation would be like for me. There are many ways that you can make your summer vacation the way you want it to be, but not everybody would agree that what you want to do would be a perfect summer vacation for them. For me, there are guidelines of how to establish what you want as your perfect summer vacation, or any vacation for that matter. Listed below will be what I think a perfect summer vacation, or a vacation in general would be for me: 1. Idea- You have to think about what you want for your perfect summer vacation. For instance, if you just want to hang around your house and do nothing, then do that. If you want to go somewhere, which is what most people do, then think of where you want to go. Do you want to travel out of the country and try something new? Do you want to go to the beach? Who do you want to take with you? Will you go alone or by yourself? You have to think of the place you want to go to, and have to also think about if you want anyone else to come along with you or if you'd rather go on your vacation alone. 2. Planning and Time- You have to make plans on where you are to go. If people, such as relatives want to come with you, you have to plan on when they can come down or time it just right for when they can arrive. You have to plan everyday for your vacation in order for it to be the way you, and everyone else wants it to be. You also have to pick a certain time that the people (if any) will come with you so that you can get flights and any other means of transportation taken care of. Otherwise, if you don't take the time to plan your vacation or the time to get everyone ready to go, you won't have anywhere to go. 3. Call ahead for reservations- Call ahead for reservations. Go ahead and do it! Otherwise, you have nothing: nowhere to go, nothing to do... nothing! You can't plan to go on vacation to the place you want to go unless you have reservations for the hotel you want to stay at. If your staying with a friend or family memeber, then you can skip this step for a place to stay, but you'll need this step when it comes to what you plan to do on vactaion. What will you do? What do you plan on doing? If you plan on going to a nice resturant or getting reservations to a dinner show, call ahead so that you can get them before their sold out for the day that you want to go. That way, your set and don't have to worry about the seats being sold out. 4. Letting them know- If your not going on vacation alone, let those who are going with you know that you have everything planned out, and asked them when they will be arriving so that you know when you can pick them up, or where you'll be picking them up. Otherwise, they won't be going with you because you haven't let them know of the matters that are really concerning them at this point. If you've done so already, move on to the next step. 5. Are you ready?- Have you made all of the plans? Have you reserved all of the places that you are going to? Have you done everything you need in order to make this your perfect summer vacation? If all of the answers to these questions yes, then you are ready to have a fun filled, perfect summer vacation. Congrats to you! Now go get packing, and let your summer fun begin! Also, don't forget the sunscreen. |

My dream house would be in a forest. There would be trees everywhere and I'd have a big pool behind my house. The driveway would be long, and mysterious, leading up to my house. The house would look like a cabin, except probably bigger. Then, I'd have a pathway that I could go through that'll take me back to my house, but it'll be a pathway leading further into the forest, but it'd also lead me back home so that I wouldn't get lost exploring. I think my dream house would be a light and gentle wooden color so that it would be easy to see, and I would love having visitors come every once in awhile. |

People will find me strange and odd when I say this, but no, I don't think teenagers, when turning 16 should be able to drive. Heck, why should they? Sorry, but these days, it's kind've hard to trust teenagers, what with the way the economy is today. I know, I'm a crazy teenager that isn't in a hurry to drive. You want to know why? It's because of the teenagers in the world TODAY, who, most of them, have cell phones already, and also get a car along with a cell phone. Why? This is one of the reasons why I think people, parents in general are poor: because their kids want cell phones and the parents give them a cell phone, and then they lose it, and then they get another one... and then another one, it's gonna be the same with cars too. Everyone should know that! I know, I'm crazy to say this, but I don't think teenagers should be allowed to drive, UNLESS THEY HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE! What I mean is that I don't think they get enough experience as it is, and I think they should be able to prove that they can drive, by adding stuff on to driving tests, or adding more information to the books about driving. Before someone wants to shoot me, I think this is true, that teenagers shouldn't be driving because if they can't even walk across the street without looking both ways to make sure a car isn't coming, how the heck can we trust them with a car, which costs MORE MONEY than a cell phone? Sorry... it's just, I'm not in a hurry to drive and I don't think teenagers should be driving in general. I also think responsibility should come into play as to if a teenager should be able to drive. Sorry, but it should! I've noticed in many of my classes that teenagers these days are immature: not listening to their teachers when told to be quiet and sit down, talking throughout class while other students are trying to learn... etc. Heck, I won't be suprised if alot of the teenagers of my generation don't go to college, never the less keep a job! Also, parents will be spending more money on their spoiled kids by buying their car gas for them, which I doubt the kids will thank them for anyway. Sorry, but I'd rather walk then deal with being on the road with my generation. |

yes, I've had recurring dreams that are both good dreams and nightmares. I think that they are normal to have though because it seems logical to have recurring dreams more than once, and it'd make sense too! I mean, think about if you had a dream about a cow, getting eaten up by a dog, or a chicken, something that a cow would probably never get eaten up by, and then, you have the same dream, again, the next night! I know, people usually don't have dreams of cows or anything of that nature, but I was just giving a good example of a dream someone could possibly have. Think about it! Dreams are infinite! You can have mutiple dreams, many dreams in one night! Sorry, but dreams fascinate me, in ways that I probably can't even explain. I think it's because dreams can have meaning to your life, like what might happen in your life later on, or something like that. I just think that dreams are really cool, and I love having dreams that I can't explain, or that anyone can't explain, because they are your dreams, and you can have dreams of whatever you'd like to have dreams about. |
