Well, hello! ...to whoever is there. (:
So I haven't posted for... 3 months? Yeaaahh. -hangs head- I really love blogging, but everything has been so crazy busy. I missed blogging about a lot of things but making the time was harder than I thought it would be - especially if I wasn't obligated. But, anyway, I'm not here to talk about me. Well... I kind of am. But I'm mostly hear to talk about my thoughts on
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Before I begin my review I want to say a few things. One: I suggest you watch these videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8oI3oQRQOo&feature=recentu
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF5xw4e8kHo
They are HP DH reviews/thoughts and they are MUCH better than mine will be and encompass most of the thoughts I want to share. So go do that. Yeah.
And two: I tried to not be spoiled and although it worked for the most part, I was spoiled on some scenes. But, next movie, I'm making a pledge to not watch any "HP Marathons on ABC Family that have scenes" or shield my mind from Tumblr. Haha.
ONTO THE REACTIONTHINGIES.
Okay, so the beginning: fantastic. The Obliviate scene was amazing and I am so so so so so happy Hermione got her moment to do that in the books. It really showed that everyone was scared about their parents and also that all three of the trio were having family hardships because of what was going on. Emma's acting was so good and she really shined in this part.
The Death Eater round table was fantastic and I'm glad they showed Draco's fear which carried on in the Malfoy Manor scene. Nagini is so freaking creepy, as well, and I LOVED it.
They included more Fred and George than I believed they would! YES! Fred and George always have had a place in my heart in the books and the movie really gave them what they deserved. I also love the whole thing with Tonks about to say she's pregnant when Mad-Eye barges in. It makes people who don't know wonder what was going to happen and even though it gets pushed in the back of your head compared to the rest of the movie, it guarantees showing up in the second movie. So that's exciting.
The Seven Potters scene was so funny yet so serious and weird and awesome. I loved the reactions of the characters and I constantly wonder how Dan felt playing all those parts. Especially Fleur's. Just thinking about it makes me burst out laughing. And once again, another Fred and George joke, which was wonderful. But this time, (which didn't really happen in the other movies) it was an individual twin joke not a combined twin joke (if that makes sense) which really made me smile.
Hedwig dying while fighting for Harry: phenomenal and so devastating. I adore owls and Hedwig because she's not just a pet. She's a courageous friend to Harry. She was with Harry when Harry was all alone at the Dursley's and it just made me bawl when Harry lost her.
Oh, the Dursley's! I'm upset that they didn't show the Dudley - Harry exchange but (like Kayley) I understand why it couldn't be put in the film and it doesn't change the fact that the film was amazinggg.
The wedding was really nice but I missed Krum being there and his exchange on both Hermione and the Deathly Hallows. But I understand why it was so short because there just isn't enough time to put everything into the movie and it would have dragged things inevitably.
Snatcher scene was really good and the whole waitress not seeing what was going on right behind her was a nice comic relief.
Hermione's purse: SO GOOD. I am so happy they included that in the film (of course they would have to, otherwise how are they going to include tents and all that stuff) but I like how confused Harry and Ron were at how the hell she was getting all that stuff out. Emma played Hermione SO WELL in this movie. She isn't just an intelligent composed girl: you could feel that she was scared and fearful but yet she was kind of putting on a scene that she was calm because she was truly the only one of the trio that had some control over the situation after the wedding thing. Yeah. Emma > life.
Loved the Black House scene thing but like Kayley I wish Harry would find his mom's letter and see him riding his toy broom, but understand that there just isn't enough time.
I love Rupert's acting and I know everyone is saying this but that's just because it is SO AMAZING. You could feel the tension of his whole physical appearance when he has the locket on and how he changes is so incredible. You can see his progression toward steadily getting closer to his breaking point. He's annoyed by not getting far... only getting one horcrux... seeing Harry and Hermione together even though it's nothing. I can't even explain how much I loved Rupert's acting and I think he was the strongest actor in the film.
I skipped some parts so I will go back to that. Xenophilius (sp?) Lovegood's house was really awesome. I loved his character in the book and it was portrayed really well in the movies, especially his ragged worry for Luna. I was devastated about not seeing Luna's paintings. When I read the book, I was so so so excited for being able to see the paintings in the film, so I got really disappointed. BUT: Kayley's take on it makes me feel a lot better. It's good that the people who read the books get that little excerpt.
The Deathly Hallows story was AMAZING. I absolutely loved it. From what I've read/heard, you either loved it or hated it and I definitely loved it.... again, if you couldn't tell. haha. It was really unexpected for it to be portrayed like that but I thought it was a nice twist. I have always loved that story and it makes me so happy to see it performed in front of me.
Ministry of Magic break-in: PHENOMENAL. I honestly felt like the actors were actually Ron, Hermione, and Harry in disguise. and the whole Ron being worried thing was wonderful. Words just can't describe, shfkjsafas.
Godric's Hollow was fantastic and the grave scene really did make me cry. I loved that part in the book. Bathilda Bagshot is as everyone says: FUCKING CREEPY. I loved it. SHGFKASFASF; Nagini scenes made me terrified. I feel sorry for the little children but I'm SO SO SO SO SO GLAD they included that feeling because that is literally how I felt reading it except just a bit more elevated in the film. Haha.
I forgot to include the Harry and Hermione dance scene! Blah getting out of sequence. But anyway, I absolutely adored it. It truly shows Harry and Hermione's friendship and I WANT YOU TO GO WATCH Kristina's take on it and Kayley's take on it because I feel the same way.
Ron coming back and his whole take on how he felt when he left and his exchange with them about what brought him back is really nice. I love Ron.
The Malfoy Manor scene was fantastic. It's the only thing I don't agree with Kayley on in that I thought Hermione's torture was super scary and I loved to see it played out. I didn't feel in the books the fear I felt in the movie during that scene. I hate hearing torture and Ron's agitation at it and just the look on Hermione's face: SO FANTASTICCCCC. Dobby was amazing also. I love me some Dobby (not in a creepy way). I got kind of annoyed that Griphook just dissappeared for a while during Dobby's funeral, but Dobby's death scene made up for it. His last words, oh my fucking god. I cried and cried in the books and I also cried in the movies. It is just so emotional: he was so brave courageous and amazing and just free and loving and KJSAKFNSDJGDSLKGJLKGJLHLDFMGLSMFVSGF; I love Dobby.
Really liked the cliffhanger thing and also the scenes Harry saw of Voldy trying to find the Elder wand before hand.
Overall:
Spectacular film. Words just can't explain and not even my review gives it justice (even though it's like a novel long)
I wish I could type more but I'm getting both lazy and out of words.
So anyway, yeah.
I will post more! Hopefully (haha)!
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
I cannot wait for the second part. <3

Last Day!
Hi there!
I have a lot I want to say in this post and I hope I remember all of it... I probably won't, but oh well. (:
First of all: Woah. Is it really the last day of BEDA? I can't believe it. This month went by so fast. I didn't even know it was the end of the month until yesterday. Crazycakes.
I also want to genuinely thank Rebecca for reading these posts. I think you're the only one that reads them, but knowing someone out there reads my daily thoughts and the insight into my mind makes me incredibly happy. Plus, you're really nice and have an awesome blog! :D
I'm actually almost glad only one person reads my blog. I posted some really embarrassing things on here that I wouldn't want anyone to see. I rant too much and complain all the time. But that's just how my blogs are I guess.
I'm also incredibly happy I did BEDA. Some days I didn't want to blog, but the majority of the time I was anticipating blogging for the day so that I could get my thoughts out. And usually on those days I didn't want to blog, I actually would blog more than I expected to. It was like an emotional escape for me. I could just spew out all my ridiculous, awkward, weird, mean, sad, insane thoughts without having anyone I know personally irl read. Of course, I do feel kinda meh about some of the things I've posted and I'm ashamed for even a few people reading them, regardless of who they are, but that experience has made me grow. Just putting EVERYTHING out on this blog makes me feel so much better as a person.
So back to the month going fast (I know I'm jumping around so much). This month was just insane. I never understood how much not only I, but as humans, we go through in a month. If so much goes on in just that short period of time, what about two months? 6 months? A year? Ten years? I could go on forever! It's so crazy how much I experienced, felt, and learned through just this one month. I met new people (whether I liked them or didn't), I experienced SO MANY different feelings and spewed most of them onto this blog, I learned a TON of information. But I'm still experiencing, still feeling, still learning. I'm making new friends all the time, and going through emotions on a daily basis. Things constantly change. For everyone. And the amount that changes in a small amount of time is a lot more than I would have thought. No matter what I go through, I can always feel that life will go on.
So yeah, anyway. I'm going to keep writing blogs, even if I don't have much of an audience. This blog, this daily writing, has taught me so much more than I would have hoped for, and I don't want to end it. This blog is for me, the one place I can write mindless things and send it off into an oblivion... well not really an oblivion, but you understand what I mean (hopefully). I won't write EVERYDAY most likely, but I will probably write every two days or maybe once a week if it gets to that. Of course, even now, these blogs won't have anything substantial. They most likely won't be interesting or witty or full of ideas. They'll be my mind in a nutshell. What I'm thinking of at the single moment I write the blog.
So yeah, I guess that's it! I had a wonderful month, despite all my troubles and worries. Blogging has been great. This weekend will be HP weekend for me, so I'll definitely write about that! I'm sure there'll be a blog before that though.
Love you!
Goodbye xx

Medicine bleh.
Hello there!
Guess what? This is the second to last day of BEDA. Woah. I know I haven't been blogging that wonderfully lately and this blog probably won't be huge, so I'm sorry. But there'll be more on that tomorrow. :D
Today was normally normal. I'm tired as usual.
My father got me this really weird herbal medicine type thing I have to take every morning and evening. It's like a really concentrated syrup and I have to mix it with water, milk, or juice. I tried water this evening and it tasted like a mixture of really subdued honey mixed with some kind of wheat thing and like weird water. I'm sorry, it's hard to explain. Anyway, hopefully I'll get used to the taste. It's for my eczema which has been acting up a lot. Guh. But that's gross, so no more on that.
The new headphones my brother got me are magnificent. I don't know if I told you he got me them or not and I don't really feel like checking (I know, I fail), but anyway, yeah, they're great. :D
Uhmm, I don't really have much to say! Boring blog, but I love just typing away. It's so relaxing and relieving.
Oh, I'll probably make a post about Mockingjay later. (:
Goodbyee! x

Birthday Surprise.
Hi theree!
Today my brother had his first surprise birthday party... He's 22 by the way. But I was really happy because he was truly SURPRISED. He had no idea whatsoever that his friends were going to be there. It was spectacular. My dad even got food from Olive Garden and an extremely awesome cake from Cold Stone Creamery.
Also, my brother got me headphones! Really nice ones at that. So great. :D
Tomorrow is my first APUSH test and I'm really nervous. D: Which is why I really need to go to bed.
This is really short. I'm sorry. Sleeeeepppyyyy!
Goodnight! x

This is how I type when I'm tired and I can barely understand myself.
Hiiii.
So, before I start, I want to say: I am once again... yes you guessed it, tired. D: I need to start writing these blog posts earlier when I'm awake and alive.
Today was kind of... mehhh. I didn't get much done. I did almost all of my Stats homework and it's annoying me that I haven't done two problems and I can't figure them out. I've read on;y 1 and a half chapters of APUSH and I have to read the rest tomorrow which is going to be ripmyhairout gaaaahh. But it's okay. The night will improve my day with dreams and unconsciousness. (:
I had my first day of driving today! I was supposed to have it tomorrow when my eldest brother comes home and teaches me finalllyyyy, but my other brother got badgered by my dad into teaching me some today. It was scary, to say the least. I don't like it. Yet I like it. It's weird.
Next weekend will be Labor Day Weekend which is exciting for many reasons. No school Monday, Harry Potter weekend, APUSH test being over with, and others. I love long weekends. I think everyone does though.
In other news, I think I'm getting sick. I feel a sore throat coming on with headaches and sinus trouble. I also am having frequent stomach aches where my tummy threatens to make me think I'm going to upchuck everything when I'm really not. Having two different kinds of sicknesses at the same time would be terrible. I hope this doesn't happen.
So I am really really really sorry (once again) to myself and whoever is reading this about the lack of content on this little blog here. I've been blagh lately. It'll all be good soon!
Oh and I'm also sorry about the lack of Doctor Who. I have a feeling watching that will not be happening during the next few weeks which makes me so so so sad, because I was so excited for it. I would say that I could make time, but I really can't. That thirty minute episode could turn into 4 thirty minute episodes which would mean two hours lost of studying for AcDec, APUSH, Stats, or spending time with my family so that I don't show how stressed and studies-focused I am. (more on that later, possibly, if I want to get into it. You probably don't understand that sentence but I'm really too tired to type anything else. Except for this little excerpt. I'M CONTRADICTING MYSELFFFF.) But the time WILL come when I do watch it. I don't think I could live with myself if I never watched any Doctor Who, because I wouldn't understand anything. Well I would but... nevermind, now I'm confusing myself.
Okay, that's all.
byeeeeee.

jhsdhgskgsigh;
Hi.
I am so tired. Like all I want to do is sleep. I think I would be able to sleep anywhere right now. Luckily I am in my bed and so that doesn't really matter. But still. Worn out is Megha.
(slight pause as I go to eat dinner subconsciously)
Today was the Fall AcDec Workshop thing. It was nice. Kind of. Fun... kind of. Yeah. I actually really loved the car ride more than anything. That was hilarious.
So yes. I think thats it. Uhh... walrus?
I really don't know what to say here. Well, no, thats a partial lie. I really have tons to say. But I don't entirely want to put it all up here and then like either regret it or be annoyed at myself for it or be embarrassed. So, I won't do those things. Except the last one, because, let's face it: I embarrass myself on a daily basis.
I'm sorry my blogs have been so crappy lately. Hopefully I'll have something exciting tomorrow. I'm watching Doctor Who probably tomorrow, so that'll be exciting.
Meow.
Goodbye. x

For Esther.
Hi there.
Today was a relax day. Everything was well. I don't really have much to day.
I want to say something about the amazing and beautiful Esther Earl passing away, but words leave me. I never knew her personally so I can't say much about her from person experience, but I can say what I've seen both of her and of what people have said about her. That she was brave. She was inspiring. She was lovely and smart and just all around incredible. Cancer may have taken her presence away but she herself will always be in the hearts of everyone who loved her, even the people who didn't know her personally like me.
I can't really say much else...
Uhm, tomorrow I'll be at a Fall AcaDeca Workshop for most of the day. I'm leaving at around 6:45 a.m. and coming back at around 6:30 p.m. It should be nice.
I'm not entirely in the blogging mood, which is weird, because I love blogging. But hopefully there'll be something happy and exciting tomorrow.
Byee. x

Retched.
Hello theree.
Right as I was getting into bed a little alert went off in my head saying "You have to blogblogblog!" And I said back to the voice, "Oh noooo! I almost forgot!"
Yes, I have conversations with myself.
The reason I forgot to blog was because today was so retched. I did not get finished with my homework, partially because I was lazy and partially because I had to join into some family things so that my dad would not get madder than he already was.
Today was my brother's birthday. It would have been nice if my dad wasn't so terrible and guhhh. But I'm not getting into that. My dad isn't really THAT terrible, so I shouldn't say that, but he just gets angry over the smallest things and his mood reflects that anger for at least 24-48 hours or more. So basically everything sets him off. He's not abusive or anything. I don't want to set off the wrong impression. He's just... blehhh.
So yes, my brother's birthday. He's 22 this year. Still as lazy as ever but still my brother and I love him (though it's hard for me to admit it). My other brother is coming home this Sunday and teaching me how to drive so that should be nice. I have good siblings even though it gets awkward sometimes and even though I want to kick them in the face on some days.
That was basically the day. I don't want to go on about the retched day and the retched mood and the retched things of this retched day (I like the word retched... I don't even know if I'm spelling it right) because I rant too much and this is basically another one of my rant blogs.
This blog should just be called the "Rant Blog"
How original. Haha.
Byeeeee.

Mockingjay!
Hi there.
So tired. Guuuuuhhh. I have finished all my homework though, which is a bonus.
BUT GUESS WHAT? Mockingjay has come out today! I got it after my mother picked me up from practice and I just loves it so much. Well, I haven't read any of it... but I will soon! I'm going to finish Catching Fire really quickly and spend oodles of time on Mockingjay. :D It is my absolute favorite when a book comes out that is part of a series and I've been anticipating it for so long. Best feeling ever. Besides being in love, but then again, I am in love with my bookies.
That's basically all that matters today. I'm just so lazy right now. All I want to do is read.
Tomorrow is picture day. I don't like picture day, especially when I don't look good in the pictures, which is always. It makes me nervous and crazy. But it's okay, I'll just have to get over it. (:
I'm officially definitely starting Doctor Who next weekend. Unless I have to study like mad, of course.
Goodbyeee.

Megha is ashamed.
Hi!
First off, I am sorry. To both myself and you. I did not watch Doctor Who yesterday. I have an excuse but it is not valid. When I got done blogging, I immediately went to two places: to look for a reliable site to watch Doctor Who and YouTube. The second one didn't help. I tried to find a site that wouldn't give me a lame virus because I clicked on something stupid or that seemed at least reasonable, but I really couldn't. And I kept getting distracted by YouTube. And my mother coming into the room. Finally at around 9:50 I just told myself I would look for a nice site later and watch it at that time. Hopefully this supposed "later" comes soon.
I made my video yesterday also and it's a lot better than the last one! The lighting is nice and pretty and it's shorter and easier to watch, haha. Unfortunately, I'm just now starting to edit it and it takes about an hour to publish and then upload to YouTube, so it probably won't go up today. I already notified the other members of the channel of this and they said it would be okay. I really do want it to go up today though. I'll post a link either on this blog later today or on tomorrow's blog if you'd like to watch it.
This weekend probably won't be HP weekend because of issues with Saturday being a workday for one of my friends and Sunday being a day where my brother comes home from college. It'll actually most likely be on Labor Day weekend. It really kind of depresses me that Labor Day weekend won't be what I expected it to be (the weekend where I go to the Harry Potter Theme Park) but a Harry Potter marathon with my friends makes up for it. I'm still doing something Harry Potter related and enjoying myself with my best friends, which is so much better than just staying in my room, sulking, and watching YouTube videos of people going to the WWoHP.
I guess that's it for today. I didn't have tons of homework today so it was really nice and relaxing.
I hope you all had a spectacular day.
Love you!
Byee.
First off, I am sorry. To both myself and you. I did not watch Doctor Who yesterday. I have an excuse but it is not valid. When I got done blogging, I immediately went to two places: to look for a reliable site to watch Doctor Who and YouTube. The second one didn't help. I tried to find a site that wouldn't give me a lame virus because I clicked on something stupid or that seemed at least reasonable, but I really couldn't. And I kept getting distracted by YouTube. And my mother coming into the room. Finally at around 9:50 I just told myself I would look for a nice site later and watch it at that time. Hopefully this supposed "later" comes soon.
I made my video yesterday also and it's a lot better than the last one! The lighting is nice and pretty and it's shorter and easier to watch, haha. Unfortunately, I'm just now starting to edit it and it takes about an hour to publish and then upload to YouTube, so it probably won't go up today. I already notified the other members of the channel of this and they said it would be okay. I really do want it to go up today though. I'll post a link either on this blog later today or on tomorrow's blog if you'd like to watch it.
This weekend probably won't be HP weekend because of issues with Saturday being a workday for one of my friends and Sunday being a day where my brother comes home from college. It'll actually most likely be on Labor Day weekend. It really kind of depresses me that Labor Day weekend won't be what I expected it to be (the weekend where I go to the Harry Potter Theme Park) but a Harry Potter marathon with my friends makes up for it. I'm still doing something Harry Potter related and enjoying myself with my best friends, which is so much better than just staying in my room, sulking, and watching YouTube videos of people going to the WWoHP.
I guess that's it for today. I didn't have tons of homework today so it was really nice and relaxing.
I hope you all had a spectacular day.
Love you!
Byee.

Theatre
Hi theree. (:
So, no, I haven't watched Doctor Who... but I'm about to! :D After I finish this blog.
The first half of today was pretty relaxing. The second half... not so much. I kinda sorta broke my dad's printer, which really sucks. See what happened was that there was a small plastic and some papers where the paper comes out. The bag got stuck in one of the rollers and started making a freaky noise, so I pulled on the bag (stupid mistake) and basically broke off a really important roller. Guh. I feel so terrible.
The good thing is that the APUSH test that was this Friday (well, Thursday for me because I have to go to a workshop on Friday) got moved back to next Monday! :D Which means I have a whole week and weekend to study. That makes me exceptionally happy. Also, next Sunday me and my friends are planning a Harry Potter marathon, which is going to be really really fun.
Oh, by the way, Across the Universe was awesome. I love musical movies. They're so great. I want to be in a play or musical, but I would probably be too nervous and scared. They do seem like loads of fun though. I think maybe next summer I'll try out for one or something. Theatre is awesome.
There's a fly in my room. That's really annoying.
Kai, going to go now! Byeee.

Across the Universe
Hi. (:
I'm in the middle of watching Across the Universe right now so this will probably be a shorty short blog. So far, I really like the movie. I love these types of movies even though I'm always like 10 years late in watching them. >.<
Today was really good. I went to the wedding early in the morning, and it was nice. Very pretty and organized and decorative. :D
Then I went home and made some iced tea and then went to doing homework. I finished all of my homework at around six, and by then my mom had gone to the after-wedding reception, so I was home alone. I love when I'm home alone; I always feel so relaxed and worry-free. So after finishing homework I relaxed, read, then talked to some friends, and began the movie.
That's basically my day, and even thought it's 11, it's still going to continue. After the movie I'll either read a little or watch some Doctor Who. But as a promise, tomorrow I WILL definitely either start Doctor Who (if I don't tonight) or continue it. Either way, Doctor Who will be watched.
Okay, I'm going to go now. I hope you are all doing great. (:
How was your day?
Byee. (:

Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
Hiii.
I have about 30 minutes left of the day to blog. Let's do this! (:
The pre-wedding thing I went to today was terrible. The people their are so superficial. Their like artificial sweeteners: They act like they're so nice and lovely and then they make you fat. In this case, they ask you to sit with them and are all sweet and kind and the minute you walk away, they insult you like mad. It's sickening. And they're just so fake. All they think about is "drama" and boys and just stupid talk. I mean, yes I talk about boys sometimes, but my life does not revolve around them 24/7. Well, kind of. But I mean, I have other things to worry about, you know?
But I got home around ten, got my outfit off (which took a while, haha) and then went straight into the shower for like 40 minutes. Mmm. Then I got some tea, took some medicine and now I'm here. Tea never fails to make me comfy and happy.
I'm going to go to bed now. I'm tired and have to wake up early for the actual wedding.
I hope you all had a lovely day.
Goodnight. (:

Wedding?
Hello! (:
So, I was just about to get comfy and read some of The Hunger Games before retiring for the night, when I realized, "I haven't blogged today!" And I started freaking out. I had to turn on my computer again, which is always a pain because it takes a century to load up. But all is well and I am here.
The funny thing is, I was really excited about blogging today because it's become so relaxing. Today was pretty busy in the notbusy way though. I was busy by doing things that weren't very progressing... If that makes any sense.
I have just finished painting my nails and I'm seeing flashes of red whenever I look down. (: I like nail polish. Unfortunately, I'm TERRIBLE at applying it to my nails. >.<
So, tomorrow and the day after I have to go to a wedding. Technically, tomorrow is the pre-wedding, but it's such a big deal that I have to go (/sarcasm). I really don't want to go. Really. My mother is making me, though. I don't even know the people getting married! I actually really dislike weddings. I love traditional, american-type weddings. With the white dress and the ceremony and all. That's short and sweet and lovely. But weddings in my family's culture are long and boring and really annoying. Everyone tries to one-up everyone by wearing something really flashy and everyone else is critical about what people are wearing. Guhhh. But seeing as I have no choice but to go, I shouldn't complain about it. Oops.
So that'll take up my whole Friday and half my Saturday. The rest of my weekend will be homework, Doctor Who, Across the Universe and The Hunger Games. (:
Oh yeah, today my contact fell out of my eye during my third block class. I never thought it would actually happen to me, especially in school. I couldn't find it and had to go through the rest of the day with half my vision blurry, but I didn't mind that much. It was only a pain having to watch a video in one of my classes and not being able to see it. >.< But it's all okay. (:
So, I hope you are all doing fantastic and are having wonderful days, weeks, months, and years.
Byee.

Reading is a nice thing.
Hi there!
Update on Doctor Who: There is no update. I still haven't watched it. ;_; I know, I know! I'm beating myself up inside for it, too. But I promised myself I would watch some this weekend! At least on Sunday. (:
By the way, my friend, Clay, loaned me Across the Universe, which should be nice. I'll probably watch that on Sunday as well. Have you seen the film? If you have, what is your opinion on it? If you haven't, would you like to? I'd love to know. (:
I'm currently still rereading The Hunger Games. It's so good. (: Even rereading books take me a quite long time because I love to spend time with books and read the finite details. Details are the best and this book certainly has important details. I'm hoping to finish it by Saturday so that I can read Catching Fire and then the Mockingjay when it comes out on the 24th of August. I'll actually need to spend more time with Catching Fire than I'm going to because I have forgotten a large amount of it. I don't usually read so slowly (unless I'm really wanting to soak in information) but I LIKE reading slow. It gives me time to relay what has happened, make assumptions about what is going to happen, spend more time in loving the book, and just overall have more fun. (If that makes any sense... it does in my head, but rereading it I see that it probably wouldn't if you weren't in my head.)
I'm actually just a bit ahead on my homework status, which makes me happy. The red alert is that I have a test on Friday/Thursday which will stress me out a lot. But more on that later. Or not. Seeing as it's very rant-worthy.
I want to thank anyone who has read this blog for eighteen days now, counting this day. I really, really, really appreciate it. I rant so much and get all my stupid thoughts out on here and to think that anyone actually reads it makes me incredibly happy. I'll probably write a super gushy post at the end of this month, so that's it for now.
Byee. (:

Sales is not my thing.
Hi there. (:
I haven't totally finished all my homework, but I'm going to blog first. Blogging is nice.
(Total change from my last post, I know. Mood swings? Yes.)
I don't really have much to talk about... So...
I feel like eating some frozen yogurt. Yum.
Oh, today the high school I attend (sadly) gave us out some lamepants coupon books to sell like they do every year. I wouldn't have brought one home but there are incentives (like there are with every sale they make us do) and one of them is to be able to check in late (up to 10:00) without getting tardy or whatever. I wouldn't have been interested (because I have AP Statistics first block, which is an extremely fun class despite how it sounds*) but I could possibly use it to have the freedom to wake up late after going to the Deathly Hallows premiere on November 18th.** Fun. I would have gone anyway and just woken up as early as usual because I've gone to other premieres when there was a school day the next day, but this was just a bonus. So now I have to sell two or more of these coupon books. I can probably count on my parents to buy one but its that one other person that will make me meet my doom. I'm terrible at selling things. I hate putting people in the obligation of HAVING to buy something even if they don't want to. I would be a horrible saleswoman-thing.
So anyway, enough about me. HOW ARE YOU? Are you happy, sad, tired, awesome, bored, excited, indescribable, mellow, panicky, elated, energetic, outraged, terrified, grim, vibrant, aglow, or zealous? Those aren't the only words you can use to describe how you feel, by the way. (:
If you would like to answer a question in the comments: (I'm starting to make these more interactive! Though I think only one person actually reads this, but who cares!)
1. What's your favorite frozen treat you like to eat? (Rhyme!)
2. Do you think you'd be a good salesman/woman/thing. :D
Until tomorrow, Mr. Blog.
Byeeee! x
*In AP Stats, we are going to be playing the Wii and doing card games and rolling dice. How fun is that? And even though we haven't done any of that right now, it's still a super fun class. The homework is actually interesting. I love learning about different statistics. Like how many people in the world are left-handed. Isn't that interesting?
**I know there were so many parentheses in those last few sentences. Sorry!

Hatred Bunches of Oats
Hi theree.
I really didn't want to blog today but I am going to stick to this BEDA thing! We're about halfway there! We can do it!
So because I have the obligation to blog today, I am going to be my normal self and rant. I am sorry. If you are reading this and for some reason find me intelligent or funny or interesting, I am going to disappoint you. -hug- We can get through this together. I know it.
Okay enough of that! On to the ranting. So, I've recently realized how much I DESPISE when people talk bad about their friends. I know I must sound like a hypocrite because a few posts ago I was talking bad about my friend. Yes, I do do it occasionally to a very small number of my friends and I feel terrible about it. I'm trying to stop it now. This is mostly because recently I've been hearing people say really mean and not happy things about people who should be their best friends. It really sparked me when there was one person who I admire and thought was really nice and smart that was talking about a mutual friend (more of a best friend on this person's side) and saying things about them. I got even angrier when the mutual friend stepped in five minutes later and this person was all "bestfriendyouarethebest" to them. UGH. Why do people have to be such backstabbers? WHYY?
I know the answer is because human nature is to naturally back stab or something along those lines and that there's some psychological reason to it, but right now I'm really just frustrated. I really liked this person and thought they were a nice friend. I really trusted them. And now I'm not sure if they'll go off and say mean things about me when I'm not around and then be nice around me. It's not that their acting because I'm sure they truly like this mutual friend of ours. I just don't understand. I would never say something mean to one of my BEST FRIENDS behind their back. And even if I would, I definitely wouldn't say it to a friend that is a friend of the best friend. (Does that make sense?)
But it's not just this one person. It's EVERYONE. I've been hearing people talk about their "supposed" friends for days and either I never noticed it before or people have just recently been fed some kind of Hatred Bunches of Oats cereal. I guess it's just making me feel really apprehensive. I don't like it when people talk about other people behind their back and I don't like it with people talk about ME behind my back. It just makes for a sad day.
Now, enough of that. I got that all out of my system. (:
Unfortunately, I have no watched any Doctor Who. I had so much homework today and I didn't even finish it all. I just don't want to do anything else for a year. But, that's not going to happen and I just have to accept it.
I'm going to go relax with The Hunger Games and watch my mom try to figure out what she's going to wear to the pre-wedding extravaganza she's going to tomorrow.
Byeee. I hope you're all well and are less tired than I am right now.
P.S. To the lovely Rebecca, I'm going to be starting from the 2005 continuation. And here's the link to my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WegdWBld3qE It didn't turn out as good as I expected it to and it's really quite long. I actually almost fell asleep rewatching it, so sorry! D: I'll be making better videos (hopefully).

Weird Megha is Weird.
Aaaah! I almost forgot to blog. D:
But luckily, I didn't. ;D Right now I'm editing (or at least trying to) my video for my Monday video on the collab channel. I'm failing at it. D: Ugh.
Yesterday was really fun. (: I was the only person actually watching the movie though. I don't really like to talk a lot during movies, mostly because I want to watch it, but partly because I have nothing funny or intelligent to say so I keep my mouth shut. I always fear I will say something incredibly stupid that no one will laugh at. ...It's happened before so I have reason to believe this. Anyway, we watched Moulin Rouge and then played some haphazard Wii afterwards. I'm terrible at Wii. Haha.
Tomorrow is Monday and the school routine starts again. I don't know why I feel so gloomy and dull right now. A few hours ago I felt amazing and great but something dawned on me that I can't really say right now. Mostly because I don't want it to be true. But it's nothing drastic and nothing to worry about... just a teenage girl's teenage problems about her teenage life. Yeah.
So I'm kind of sleepy and wanting to go finish this video so I can lay in my bed comfortably. :D
Byee. Hope you all are well.

Hello there!
It just so happened that I can't talk about how much I am into Doctor Who right now like I expected because didn't watch any last night. Sorry! D: I instead finish up My Neighbor Totoro, which I had started the week before and never finished. It was amazing. I can't even believe how much I cried in the last half of it. I can say that it was a lot though. The themes are just so emotional and personal and lovely. I adore it when children's movies have such huge impacting themes lying underneath.
I think the movie also made me cry a lot was the sisterly love going on in the movie and I had just read some of The Hunger Games where Katniss does something to protect her sister. (Trying not to spoil anything for anyone reading who hasn't read it!) I love how The Hunger Games is one of those books that you can read over and over and over again and it would never get old. I'm reading it for probably the 3rd or 4th time and it's still as entrancing as always.
Today has been a fairly relaxing day so far. I have done NO homework, which I will definitely regret tomorrow, but I really just want to enjoy the day today. I'm going to my friend's house tonight, which I mentioned before. (: Before I go, I'll be eating Taco Bell, which is total yumyums.
I guess that's it for today. I hope you are all having a lovely day. <3

Currently listening to: Blame It On The Rain by He Is We (I've taken a huge liking to this song recently. :D )

Unluckiest day turns out to be a good day? What?
Hello hello hello hello!
Today was spectacular. (I've acquired the word "spectacular" from a few friends of mine who use it a lot, so I've gotten into the habit of saying it because it's, well, spectacular. xD)
No, but really, today was great. It started out really nice, except my dad left for two days, so that was a bit sad. But other than that, I had a wonderful morning. At lunch I had a potluck with the fellow Decathletes and the two not-really mascots. So that was super fun. Tomorrow is the movie day, and that will also be fun. Altogether, everything's been great.
Today, during our last class, my friends Hannah and Destin and I (is that correct grammar) were talking about those three spots and the five people competing for them for the Honors Div. of the team. It was really sad because we all want Destin, Mary Beth, Hannah, and I to make it so badly. It would be so amazing. But unfortunately that can't happen. The worst would be if another girl Ashley makes it. *-* I know that sounds really mean, but I would much much much much much rather Mary Beth and Hannah to beat me than Ashley (a girl I don't really know well) to make the team and Mary Beth, Hannah, or I not make it. I'm sure Ashley is a wonderful person, but MB and Hannah are really great friends of mine and I would love them to make the team if I didn't.
Maybe I'm coming of as bitter and mean and ugly. I hope not, but I'm just kinda meh about this whole thing. D: Everything will turn out for the best though. The team will take the best and that is fair, of course. (:
I'm going to start watching Dr. Who tonight! Hopefully, most likely, yeah. Yay. (:
Going to go now, hope you are having a lovely day, even if it is called the unluckiest day of the year.
Byeeeee! x

Hey! :D
So it's been exactly a week since school started and I am feeling MUCH better. No meltdowning, no craziness, no overwhelming feeling. Well, maybe still a little of the last one, but I can handle it. I am feeling so much better though. (:
Today, I had practice then an AcaDeca parent type meeting afterwards. It gave me a huge sense of pride for the team and all that I can accomplish from it. I feel silly about how I was feeling yesterday. I still feel kind of bdjhgfjshhgs about it, but not as much. I would really love to make it huge on this team. The only problem I have is that I'm competing against my best friend and two other really good friends for a spot on the team. There are three spots and four of us. That's kind of heart-wrenching. What sucks more is that I'm the weakest link of the four so I'm hoping I don't just give up in the end. That would really, really suck. Really. I guess I just need to believe in myself and work harder. The problem will be finding that spot between not working enough and working too much to where I stress myself and start getting a little depressed. That second one tends to happen a lot. But I'm going to try to make it not happen.
Ooh, guess what!? I have no homework today! In response to that long paragraph you may or may not have read, you would think that I have my AcaDeca folder out beside me studying away... but no. I am taking this time to enjoy my happiness and relax a little. I'll work on it tomorrow. Hopefully. Guhhhh.
The update on Dr. Who right now is that there is no update. D: I might start watching it tomorrow. Hopefully! I really want to. Really. I say "really" a lot.
Saturday I'm going to watch a movie with my friends at one of my friends' house. It is going to be definite funtimez. :D
Bye guys. Love you! x

Aloha!
Firstly I want to start by saying how much I love the YouTube community. I love it a lot.
Yeah, that's all. What inspired me to say this was watching John Green being intelligent and Strawburry17 being personal and just those two things showing up in such a public place. On YouTube you CAN be intelligent and not have to worry (unless those haterz gonna hate, but who cares about them?) and you CAN be personal and emotional and share feelings you have with the people around you that aren't really around you. It's so amazing.
So in light of that, I'm probably going to make my first YouTubey video on my personal channel sometime soon. Most likely it will not be even vaguely intelligent and it will probably not even be that personal, but I feel inspire to FINALLY join this wonderful place where friends are made and haterz are crushed.
On another note, Decathlon may not exist anymore. D: It's this whole class scheduling thing that's really confusing and annoying and probably boring, so I will spare myself from typing it and you(/me) from reading (/re-reading) it. But the gist of it is if we can't get a class, there won't be a team. It wasn't like this last year but the coaches (who are an awesome teachers of mine as well) said they can't do it anymore because of the many things that are going on in life which include extra classes they have to teach, extra classes they have to take, and an EXTREMELY adorable baby. By the way, the baby really is so so so so so cute. SO CUTE. Just saying.
The sad thing is that I'm kind of relieved of Decathlon may or may not be ending because I was really really stressed and I didn't want to quit because I wanted to actually make it an obligation. The reason that is sad is because I feel really bad for feeling that way and I know I shouldn't. I'm such a wuss.
I'm most definitely going to start watching Dr. Who soon, which really excites me! I've heard so many people talking about it and saying it was awesome and I can't wait to feel the awesomeness. :D I have actually been wanting to watch it for months/years but I never really completely thought about it until now. I usually shy away from shows with many seasons because when I start them I tend to stop in the middle because I'm so busy.
Ooh, I have a good idea! I'm going to make a little counter thingy at the bottom of my blog everyday and tell you how much I've seen so far! If anyone is reading this, you guys NEED to harass me when I stop watching for a long time or something, otherwise I'll just not watch it. DO ITTT. Please? (:
Okay, so I'm going to be going now. Big day tomorrow. :D

TEN!
Hiiiii! (:
I almost forgot to blog today... it's been a very quick yet long day. I got home around 6:30, ate, then went straight into homework, so not much went on. I did go to AcaDeca practice, so that's nice. Unfortunately there's a new girl in the Honors category and she is GOOOOODDDD. I don't think I'm going to make it into the team anymore, but I'll do my best. *-*
I'm way too tired to do anything anymore. I just want to go to beeeddddddd. Sleep is needed! This Friday my father is going out of town for the weekend so that will be a nice little mother-daughter weekend. With my brother. Haha. And Saturday I believe I'm going to my friends' house to watch a movie. I love my friends. (: I know I don't talk about them much but they really are amazinggg. With three g's. Yeah.
I don't have much else to talk about. Gah. So, I guess this is it. Sorry for the shortness. Excuse the weirdness of this blog. (:
Goodbyeee. x

Hiiiii! Today is 8/9/10, how nice. (:
I have just finished my AP US History homework, so I am very happy. Now I have to do AP Stats but it's due with other stuff on Friday, so I can be a little lenient. Despite all my constant talking of AcaDeca, I have failed to read any further. There's practice tomorrow so that's going to go over badly but I just wanted to take a break from it all. (:
My friend Hannah has persuaded me to get into the anime Hetalia: Axis Powers. I watched a few episodes Subbed and she continues to say to watch it in Dubbed because it's even more funny. I think I'm getting sucked in now because the first episode really is funny and I may watch more. (:
I've become so accustomed to blogging already. Even if I don't have much to say often, I find it really relaxing and nice. Tomorrow will be day ten! Yay!
By the way, I'm on a collab channel with my best friends and if anyone who is reading wants to check it out, that'd be nice. (: I'm Monday so I made a video today. It's mainly just for us so you absolutely do not have to; I'm not promoting it or anything. I'm just putting it out there because this blog is basically just updates on my life and rants. :D So anyway, heres the link to the channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheDistractoidz
My videos are unedited and really bad (but they will not always be that way!) so, sorry.
Soooooooooo, I guess that's it. Probably not going to do Stats now. Yeah. OH WELL :D
Bye! (:

Music is really nice
Hello there. (:
Today was a day full of studying and homework so this won't be a very exciting blog post. I didn't do ANY homework yesterday, even though I said I would. >.<>
My brother came home today for a day or so, so that's nice. (:
I'm not entirely excited for this week but things should hopefully go well. I'm already looking forward to Labor Day weekend. Haha. I was supposed to go to the WWoHP Labor Day weekend, but I don't think that is going to happen anymore. D: But it's going to still be a nice weekend full of relaxation and sleeping.
I've gotten really into He Is We lately, especially the song 'Breathe'. I listened to them before and I liked it but I absolutely fell in love with 'Breathe'. If you want to listen to them, you should check them out! You can get their songs for absolutely free here:
I'd really appreciate it because they're really great!
So now that my product placement is done for today (Just kidding, I wasn't asked to do that or anything! I promise!) I should get back to AcaDeca before they cut off my head for not doing my work.
I hope you all are having a lovely day.
For the comments: (I'm really liking this comment question thing. It's nice.)
What band/musician have you been into lately?
I'd love to check them out! ♥
Byeeeeeeeeeee.

ohai.
Hiiii!
First off, I want to say I really am sorry for yesterday's blog post. As Rebecca said yesterday, it was therapeutic. :D Thanks. I feel a lot better now. Especially because yesterday I was talking to someone complaining on and on about their life and although it is easy to hear some people complain if what their saying is true, this particular person was being completely untrue and therefore what they were saying was annoying. (Wow, that was a run-on.) I had a lot of typos yesterday too. I apologize. I will probably not fix them.
SO. The point is I am completely better today and that was a concentrated form of my small anxiety I am going through. Yeah.
Back to the regular scheduled blogging:
Today has been quite a good day! I went for my second round of school shopping and got a really really awesome calculator. It's a TI-Nspire and it has so many cool features. My friend Hannah also has one so we're going to figure the features out together. (:
I also got a pretty cool planner. I really like calenders and planners because I love to write events in them. I always feel so organized.
I've still got to do half of my Stats homework and half of my US history homework so that I don't kill myself tomorrow with work. So, I should probably do that! Haha.
For the comments, if you guys would like to answer:
What have you bought recently that you're excited for?
It doesn't have to be as nerdy as mine, lmao. (:
Byee! x
Downmelt? (
Hello.
So, I think I'm having a meltdown. Nice way to start the blog post isn't it? Well, I'll save you and myself from the complaining and ranting and being utterly unbearable because it seems that that is how all my posts are now. I will try to change that. Instead I will give you a brief explanation/synopsis of my situation right now. Unless you don't want to read it. Yeah.
DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HERE ME COMPLAIN AND BE ANNOYING:
I may be either in a meltdown or definitely about to be having a meltdown very soon. I feel like nothing is worth anything. I am "burnt out". I am tired... of school, of work, of anything having to do with the future. I wasn't like this before. I was extremely happy. Now I am just TOO TIRED. I don't know WHY I'm taking AP classes or wanting to go to a "good college" anymore. I used to know, but now I don't. I am tired of being in a routine of school, work, school, work, tired, sleep, no sleep, school. I feel it will be like this all life except for after school, the "school"s will change to "work"s. I just don't understand anything and I am so, so, so, so afraid to admit it to anyone. I mean I'm doing fine in school. For now. But I just don't feel like doing any work. I used to love to do it and be happy to be accomplished, but now I don't. I don't even have that many hard classes! It's only been TWO DAYS of school and I already feel like it should be over with. What do I do? D:
Okay, that was so much longer than I intended it to be. My fingers just started typing away. I hope anyone who is actually reading my blog didn't read that particular paragraph. I needed to get it out into the world, but I'm kind of ashamed. Blah.
So other than that, life is fairly good. I think I need to do some kind of incentive for this blog. Like how Hayley G. Hoover does her "senses" thing. You know? Maybe I'll think of something or just copy her. Probably the second one.
Today is Friday and that makes me happy. Unfortunately it is rainy and humid and dark outside. D: I like the rain but now the humidity and how dreary everything feels.
Okay, I'm rambling like always so I will leave you.
Goodbye.

JuniorJuniorYeaaaaar.
Hiiiiiiii!
So today was the first day of my Junior year. Interesting. Last year, the beginning of Sophmore year, I didn't feel any change at all. I felt like I was just taking an abnormally large break from my regular scheduling of Freshman year at school. This year, I was absolutely sure that would change. I thought I would feel different and awesome and cool (pssh, that could never happen :D). Boy, was I wrong.
You see, even though I am a junior nothing at all feels different. I'm sure it's like this for a lot of people. Sure, I have my solid group of friends who I love. I have AcaDeca meetings during lunch and I go to Blev's room (my sophmore lit teacher who will also be my senior lit teacher) during lunch. Maybe these things are what makes it so routine. I had a slight feeling of being a Junior but not a huge one. I don't know, when I was little I always thought Junior year was going to be THE BEST. I just had a feeling. Because I would be an upperclassman without the stress of being a Senior. I do love most of my classes, with the exception of the last class, which makes it really nice, though. I still think this year is going to be awesome.
So my last class basically made me EXTREMELY TIRED. Fourth block. I was supposed to have Academic Decathlon fourth block and I still don't know if I'm going to get changed into that class, but I hope so. You see, during the day I usually feel like I'm on an exhilarating roller coaster for my brain (I know, weird analogy) and this class is like when you just reach the high point and you throw up all over yourself AND your neighbor. But that's not enough. You get off and you feel all dizzy and then you throw up AGAIN. All over this cute guy you were seeing with pretty hair and a kind face and is kinda nerdy too. Yeah, that's how bad it is. Okay maybe not THAT bad, but it's like a dull, excruciatingly boring class with dull, excruciatingly stupid people. It's the class almost everyone takes to get an "easy A". It makes my head hurt. I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE DON'T USE THEIR BRAINS. GAAAAAAH. I need that AcaDeca class. I feel so tired during that class because I'm so bored and just want to sleep.
Speaking of being tired, I'm also tired because of the ten extra minutes we have of school. When my friend told me we would get out ten minutes later, I didn't think anything of it. Actually, she said "GUESS WHAT? We get out at, like, 3:28 now! -angry sounding voice-" and I honestly said, "So? Don't we always get out of school at that time?" And then she started raging at me. I am in no way making fun of my friend. Maybe. I don't usually do that with my friends, but this particular one can get a tad bit annoying. Especially because I have to sit in two classes RIGHT NEXT TO HER. But that's another story. This one is about the time. So, I didn't think much of an extra ten minutes. I thought it would be kind of the same. I WAS WRRROOONGGGGG. The day feels SO MUCH longer. I have no idea why. I was so tired when I got home that I just wanted to go to bedddd. But I had homework to do. >.< I actually still have stuff to do. I need to read Academic Decathlon. Hmmmmmmm.
Okay, well I'm going to go do that. Yeah.
Bye! <3

I feel like a paper girl.
Hi!
So today for BEDA I'm going to write about Paper Towns. I finished rereading it and it proved to be incredibly better than it was the first time I read it, which is definitely saying something because I loved it the first time. I was going to write about school today because today is the last day of school, but I can always write about summer. I must write about Paper Towns. Now.
Paper Towns is truly amazing. It is anything I could have ever hoped for in a book. It is intricate and witty and funny, but more than that it is almost life-changing. The details in the book are so precise and so important. In the end of the book, everything is understood. Why Margo did what she did. What Q was always thinking. What was misunderstood on both ends. There really are two opposite sides of the story and it is so "BANG." (Does that make sense?) I'm not really good at writing reviews. It is so hard how to explain what I'm feeling with this book.
In the last few pages of the book all the metaphors come up. The Strings. The Grass. The Vessels. These metaphors are so, so incredible. They make complete sense and are true for everyone. And the feeling the reader experiences in the end just captures them. I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. I guess what I'm saying is this book can be confusing but it will eventually all make sense. I had to read it twice to fully understand it and it's not even THAT confusing. Then again, I did read it a long time ago.
There are so many quotes in that book that I am in love with. Everything about the paper girl in the paper town. About living another person's life. About Q not being able to live Margo's life. About his pain. About her sorrow. About their separate lives twining together yet still saying separate. They lives are roots and their vessels are cracked and their strings are cut. EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD.
This entry wasn't as good because I can't make a complete thought. I am awed by Paper Towns. I can't think. John Green's writing is amazing.
If you haven't read Paper Towns you should. YOU NEED TO. I hope I didn't spoil anything.
Byeee.
So today for BEDA I'm going to write about Paper Towns. I finished rereading it and it proved to be incredibly better than it was the first time I read it, which is definitely saying something because I loved it the first time. I was going to write about school today because today is the last day of school, but I can always write about summer. I must write about Paper Towns. Now.
Paper Towns is truly amazing. It is anything I could have ever hoped for in a book. It is intricate and witty and funny, but more than that it is almost life-changing. The details in the book are so precise and so important. In the end of the book, everything is understood. Why Margo did what she did. What Q was always thinking. What was misunderstood on both ends. There really are two opposite sides of the story and it is so "BANG." (Does that make sense?) I'm not really good at writing reviews. It is so hard how to explain what I'm feeling with this book.
In the last few pages of the book all the metaphors come up. The Strings. The Grass. The Vessels. These metaphors are so, so incredible. They make complete sense and are true for everyone. And the feeling the reader experiences in the end just captures them. I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. I guess what I'm saying is this book can be confusing but it will eventually all make sense. I had to read it twice to fully understand it and it's not even THAT confusing. Then again, I did read it a long time ago.
There are so many quotes in that book that I am in love with. Everything about the paper girl in the paper town. About living another person's life. About Q not being able to live Margo's life. About his pain. About her sorrow. About their separate lives twining together yet still saying separate. They lives are roots and their vessels are cracked and their strings are cut. EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD.
This entry wasn't as good because I can't make a complete thought. I am awed by Paper Towns. I can't think. John Green's writing is amazing.
If you haven't read Paper Towns you should. YOU NEED TO. I hope I didn't spoil anything.

Tea is yumyum.
...in my tumtum. Yes, I just typed/virtuallysaid tumtum.
Hi!
So far today was pretty uneventful. I woke up later than intended, even though my mom tried to wake me up five times. I was supposed to wake up around 7:00 because I had to study the rest of AcaDeca stuff I didn't study yesterday and also go for a run/do some cardio. Unfortunately, I woke up at like 8:45 because I was way too tired and only had enough time to study AcaDeca and eat a little before going to practice at 11. Two hours may seem like a lot, but in my house it isn't.
AcaDeca practice was fun today. (: As it will probably always be. A year ago I would have dreaded practice but practice is something I really look forward now. Maybe it's because I'm with people that actually WANT to learn and find interesting ways to remember and are really intelligent (not that the people I'm normally around aren't intelligent). Albeit, I am still the worst of all the decathletes. I'm terrible at remembering the information. D: But I'm still going to try my very best!
Tomorrow is the last day of summer, which means tonight is the last weekday where I will be able to stay up until four in the morning and wake up two hours later with no energy. Yes, I do have a bedtime during school, even though I'm sixteen. This is because I need my eight hours in order to actually think. (:
It was pouring an hour ago and now it's so sunny. Mother nature is playing games with my mind.
I'm drinking Earl Grey tea right now. Yum.
Byeeeeeeeeeee! x

Schedule Frustration
Hello! (: Second day, yay!
So, yesterday, after I made that blog post, turned out to be a fairly nice day. I went to the mall with my mom and got a pair of pants (which I have to get altered of course. Curse you, shortness!) and three new wonderful books. Those three books are the His Dark Materials series. I can't wait to read them. :D I know I'm a tad bit (haha) late in reading them, but at least I'm getting to it now! But first I have to finish rereading Paper Towns . I would stop midway but I'm reading it again because I've lost understanding of it since the first time I read it and if I stop reading now I'll be even more confused. Hopefully that makes sense.
I want to thank the person who commented on my blog yesterday, so, thank you "Percival" for commenting! Haha. I know your name isn't Percival, but because I don't know your real name, I guess I'll have to call you that. By the way, you said (I think) that you were doing BEDA but you didn't leave a link to your blog! D: If you read this blog post, please leave a comment with your blog link so that I can read your blog as well. ^^ Oh, and that goes for anyone reading this blog! If you have a blog and/or are doing BEDA, please leave a link down below so that I can follow it and all that good stuff! We could be friends! :D
So, according to the title of this blog, I am apparently having some kind of frustration to my school schedule. Well, blog title, you are in fact right. I am extremely frustrated. Apparently, my school doesn't offer AP Chemistry this year anymore. And apparently, they scheduled Honors Chemistry the same block as Honors Math III WHICH DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. So annoying. So now I have to take regular ed. Anatomy & Physiology, which is going to be pure torture because many of the childerkins in regular ed classes are extremely immature. I am not saying that every single one of them is, but those few that are can be a nuisance to any living creature alive. I am in no way underestimating the intelligence and loveliness of the people in these classes or the class itself. I'm just saying, I had taken those kinds of classes earlier on and they were scary to say the least. But I think it won't be absolutely terrible because I know some of the people in that class and plus it'll give me a little freedom from homework and allow me to study more for AP US History and SATs & ACTs. Also, my school put me in Culinary Arts I, which of course will be super fun, but will be no help to me in the future because 3/4 of the things cooked in there are meat-based and I am a vegetarian. Fail. Also, no one I know will be in that class. I will be all alone. ;-; But I'm going to make the best of this situation and hopefully move some classes around to get a decent schedule.
I don't think anyone will understand that last paragraph except for me, but it has allowed me to complain a little about my school and I needed that.
Now, enough complaining, Megha! I think I'm going to try that bracelet thing Alex Day (nerimon) does, where he has to wear a bracelet on one arm for twenty-one days and when he complains, he has to switch the bracelet to another arm for another twenty-one days. If that makes sense. If it doesn't, you should watch his videos and let him explain it. :D
I think, for now, I'm going to make my current reading book my little tracker thingy at the bottom. Maybe later on I'll do a quote of the day or something. (:
Baibai!

Blog Every Day August
Hello and welcome to my blog! I've decided to attempt BEDA because some of my favorite blogs are doing it and I thought it would be fun to join along. I don't really think anyone will actually read this, but I'm doing it more for myself than anyone else. I'm trying to get into a routine of writing daily and I think it'll help me get relief of tough situations in the end. So let the blogging begin!
I know I'm going to be terribly busy this month, so it may not be the easiest thing to blog every day, but I'm definitely going to try. (: If it doesn't work out, maybe I'll Blog Every Day April next year. x3
So this month is the month of beginnings; it's kind of like January but less "OMGNEWYEAR"-ish. I'm going to be beginning Junior year this year, which means taking more AP classes, Junior year exams and the beginning of SATs and ACTs. What fun. In addition to this slew of tests, I'm going to be in Academic Decathlon. Yes, I am a nerd. Yes, I am proud. I'm extremely excited for AcaDeca, yet over that excitement comes worry and nervousness. I don't know if I will be on the team or not or if I will even be good. I don't know if my stress level will take over my life, but I'm going to try to keep it to where it doesn't.
I've made a complete decision to have an extraordinary amount of fun this year, especially if that means overcoming shyness and the "iwanttostayathomeanddonothing" syndrome I seem to have. I want to get over the "I LIKE BEING BORED!" and get to the "I LIKE TO BE BUSY!" Basically, I've realized, I've become a lot like Quentin from Paper Towns by John Green, and although it's not an entirely bad thing, I kind of want to have adventures like Margo. If you got this analogy then I praise you and you are the best person ever.
So yes, I have many goals. I aim to achieve them and have fun while doing it. Hopefully, this works! :D
If you are reading this and you actually got through this post, then you are amazing and I want to be your friend. (:
Goodbye until tomorrow! <3
*P.S. I'm thinking of doing one of those "tracker" things that a lot of people do. Maybe like a quote a day, a song a day, or how many packets of AcaDeca I've finished, or something? I have no idea, I'll think about it.
