Vacation Update

Hello world!

I had written a really long post earlier when my iPod died and all of it was erased! So I'm doing the first part of the post right now and the second part ASAP.

So far we haven't done much. The most interesting things were going to watch Fast and Furious 6 and Monsters University. That movie was cute cuz you got to see where it began.

We have also gone to different houses. First my aunt who we all call Deni, then my grandma's house, then to my cousins' apartment, where they always have at least 3 cats. Right now I'm back with Deni. 

Truth is, I have had other chances to post, but didn't take them.

Monday, we went to an Internet cafe for 2 hours while my mom was at a dentist appointment. The entire time I was on YouTube, mainly catching up on pewdiepie videos.

Tuesday, we went again to the internet cafe because my mom had to set up an appointment for a credential or something. It was supposed to take a very short time to do, so I didn't even try to get on the blog.

Wednesday, we went yet again to the Internet cafe for about an hour. I had been planning to post that day, but my uncle came along with us, and it felt like he was looking over my shoulder the entire time. *shudder* I can't work under these conditions! (Hehe, Spongebob quote.)

So... Yeah. See ya when I see ya.

I'm Leavin'

Hello world!

Yes, as the title says, I've leaving for about a month to visit family in MÉXICO! ☼ I think for most of the time we will be staying in places where there is no WiFi, but if we go to an internet cafe or something, I will be sure to post.

Also, I did have a cute little drawing for the week, but my phone is dead and I can't find the charger!

Sorry if someone out there was expecting one.

Memories

Hello world!

I was going to talk about this on Monday, but I didn't get on the computer that day...

So this has to do with my list from Friday. I suppose a lot of people don't see need in diaries (when I first started it, I didn't want to), but I have grown to learn the importance of them, so I have full respect for them.

People that know me well enough know I have a lot of stuffed animals. And I love them very much. With a lot of stuff I own I grow emotionally attached. I like to save a lot of stuff from my childhood. With most of my old toys, I wouldn't give them for anything. (Unless my sister was kidnapped and I was told she would be killed unless I give them up, then of course. I highly doubt that would happen, though.)

I could explain this in such a complicated way that most wouldn't understand me, but instead I'll use a quote from The Office:

I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you actually left them.

I already consider my childhood as "the good old days," and I'm only 13! I'm sure that the good old days is my whole past, so I want to keep a record of it before it leaves me.

I try to protect even the tiny things, like maybe some pages from a notebook that I doodled on, or maybe a necklace from a friend, even if I only knew them for a few days. I even wish some of my scars didn't disappear.

This is especially important to me because I don't have the best memory for most stuff. If I didn't write in my diary about certain things, I may have forgotten them completely.

I probably sound pretty stupid for caring about memoirs so much, but I honestly can't express how much I  want them. How much I NEED them. I hope future me doesn't forget their importance.

SLENDER

Hello world!

I suppose you all know of Slender Man. I personally didn't know about him until almost a year ago.

Have you ever watched videos from the Youtube channel "TheFineBros?" I subscribed to them in September(?) and became obsessed with their "React" shows. I learned a lot about videos I had heard about but never watched, and my knowledge expanded. But after over 9 months of loyalty (I think...), I got bored and didn't really like the new stuff posted, so I unsubscribed. But this post isn't trash-talking the Fine brothers, it is about praising them, because if I didn't watch their videos, I would be a different person today. Seriously.

So that's where I learned of Slender. And Pewdiepie. And Nyan Cat. And a bunch of other stuff.

I don't know where you guys found them, but I don't wanna know. Even if I did want to, no one would have read this and commented. *tear*

Anyways, my friend broranges (remember that friend from 2 weeks ago? I decided to give him a code name) and I are still working on that Slender Man story. It's probably gonna end up being a long short story, since it has already 8 official chapters, but they are only a couple pages each.

I joined in when he needed help for the 6th(?) chapter. It seems both of us have good ideas. I'm just worried about if the story will not seem fluid enough, because we both have different writing styles. You people already know my style, since you are reading it now. But I don't really know how to describe his... I guess I can just say that it would be pretty obvious it wasn't the same person if someone compared our writing. Thank goodness we both agree it will need editing.

The thing that bugs me the most, though, is that broranges is putting in swear words. I mean, not as many as Jenna Marbles, but enough to annoy me. I mean, we are both in a religion where NO ONE says bad words. They might use those words that would replace the actual, like "dang," but I pretty much consider it a crime to say the real things.

He keeps saying that nowadays teenagers swear all the time, so if we want it to sound like a 17-year-old guy, we will have to put one every once in a while.

But I hope there is someone out there that realizes that they don't have to drop the F-bomb to make something funny, or call someone the "donkey butt" to insult (although if someone yelled at me "YOU ARE SUCH A DONKEY BUTT!!!" I'd probably laugh my head off.), or say some annoying person is a "female dog"... I hope this paragraph makes sense.

I hope we figure out a compromise at the end before putting in our names (or pen name, if we decide to do that.)

Apologies All Around!

Hello world!

Ok, so I realize there are plenty of problems with this blog.

First, the pictures are really crappy. I only use pencil/pen and my phone/iPod to take the picture with (except for the title; I used a scanner for that). I'm not a professional artist, and I do not have the equipment to draw on the computer like a lot of artists on Facebook and the rest of the internet. We do have a real camera, but I don't think it makes enough of a difference for me to be devoted to taking all pictures with it. It just seems to take longer to upload with the camera than with my phone.

Second, my topics are really random (like me!). I don't think you guys can really relate to my thoughts. Especially since most people have normal brains. I just want to record all my thoughts, feelings, and actions of the moment so I can read it in the future. After all, this is my new diary.

Third, I talk a lot about TV and stuff. This is because TV is pretty much my life. (Ooooooh, bold!) I watch hours and hours daily (especially on days when we don't have school). So I think a lot about what I've watched. In fact, theme songs constantly play in my head; probably more often than actual songs.

Fourth, I rant about small stuff. Just yesterday I went on and on about something that probably doesn't bug people that much. I don't think I do that all that often in real life (unless I'm discussing it with someone; and I haven't talked to people in a while...). I generally keep my thoughts in, so this is a way for me to take them out. It's just so much easier on the internet, where no one can actually know who you are (unless you want them to know).

Fifth, I do a lot of lists.

Sixth, I laugh about stupid stuff like how the fifth reason is really ironic. My sense of humor is pretty simple.

Sadly, I can't really fix a lot of these things, because some of it has to do with the diary idea, and I'm not changing that to make others happy.

No wonder I have no followers or members. :'(

Love

Hello world!

Yesterday was my last day of school! I'm so excited for summer! ☼♪☼♫☼

Everyone I know I'm sure has had a crush at one time or another, and most likely has one now too. The last crush I remember having was in 1st grade, and I don't remember much of that relationship. (After all, I was in 1st grade.) I just remember me and a dark-haired boy would hold hands walking to class, and picking our noses. Aaah, love.

I know that love is really important, since most people want to be married and have a family (me too!), but it seems people freak out more than necessary. Some people start having boyfriends/girlfriends since they are in ELEMENTARY. At that age it's not really dating, but it still is annoying. I mean, I know I will have to date at some point (I'm waiting until I'm at least 16), but I'm not letting it get in the way of my friends, family, and education. I've heard stories of people who did, and their hearts were crushed, along with the rest of their lives.

It really bugs me how EVERY SINGLE MOVIE has a kiss at some point. Even if the actual movie didn't have much to do with love, it will have a kiss. I can almost guarantee it. Don't you guys think that is annoying too?

What sickens me about this biz is that since last year, I've been seeing more about people committing... adultery. Especially from the shows my sister has started to watch. There are funny moments in That 70's Show, How I Met Your Mother, and The Office, but a lot of it has to do with people having sex when they barely know each other.

That is SO WRONG. What has happened to this world?!

But what annoys the most about anything that has to do with love is SONGS. I mean, it's generally kinda hard to find a song that isn't about "Let's party together," "I really like you, let's date," "What happened to us?," "I can't believe you did this to me," "I really miss being with you," "I want to spend the rest of my life with you," or any other theme similar. I can't relate with ANY of them. Don't get me wrong- there are a lot of really good love songs; but I think that song writers should try harder to write something that has nothing to do with that. Lyrics should have more variety.

I have another idea for a Youtube video that I highly doubt I will ever do. I would like to write and sing a song ranting about love. "Will you people shut up about love?!," "You don't need a relationship to be happy," "Humans are jerks; stop trying to love them," etc. With the right lyrics, I could start a revolution!

Besides facts of why I can't do these videos mentioned in other blog posts, I can't do this because I'm not good at writing songs. (I'm not the best of poems, either.) I have already tried, and it wasn't very good. And if I did sing my own song, I might get sued because "the melody is too similar to a song already written" or something. (Wow, I've been using a lot of quotation marks in this entry!) And I'm not aware of anyone else who IS good.

WOAH. I just realized. I use a lot of excuses in my blog. And I rant a lot. I'm not really like that in real life, people. Sorry for annoying you. D': I'm gonna shut up now.

Why Am I So Lazy?

Hello world!

As the title describes, I am lazy. Extremely lazy. I will sit on the couch for 7 hours and not care. I think I actually have watched TV for 7 hours, but I got up eventually to eat or something.

That's not a good habit.

I was hoping I could force myself to do more productive stuff. I am doing so by going to the library a lot more often, practicing instruments, and, of course, this. But I don't think I can actually break from my laziness.

Off topic, here's the picture I was going to show last week: (it's on its side so you's gotta cock your head)

This went off of the idea for the video. It was supposed to be the girl on the left, boy on the right, and that pencil in the middle was going to be a wall. But I tried drawing the boy and it was just looking too girly. And I was too lazy to find some paper to draw a wall on.

This is the product of my laziness. Study it. Feel it. Cry for it.


And on Sunday I read a really cute Wizard of Oz comic. There was more death than I expected... But I loved how they drew the lion. And I like how Boris (from Alice in the Country of Hearts) was drawn, so I decided to try again. But since I can't get manga hair right, I decided to try a lion mane.

In case you can't tell, I drew it with only pen. (I'm guessing some people might get pissed off that I only draw with pencil, and I have to practice anyways.) It's cute, but it obviously could use some improvement, such as less collar, and the ears to be INSIDE the mane, not to mention how huge they are. So I tried again. And again. And, like, 8 more times. I couldn't get the same proportions on the face. I got kinda mad and drew one where everything was a little off, like the Scarecrow's.

It's cute too, huh? I'm thinking that next time I try this experiment, I'll use a little from both drawings. I could end up with something extremely cute. You never know.
