The Stupidity of my Younger Self

It has been so long since I have posted on this... blog.
I was such an idiot back then. I am sure I will one day get over my naïve assumptions.
I decided to post this one last post to show you all how people can grow and I will not delete those old posts despite how embarrassing they are because you can't run from mistakes.

So...

I am in high school now. I am going to be a freshman. My schedule is as follows:

1- PE
2-  Honors Global Studies (Asia, Africa, and Central America)
3- Honors World Literature (Asia, Africa, and Central America)
4- Honors French 4
5- Honors Algebra 2
6- Honors Molecular Biology
7- Foundations of Independent Research (A required class that teaches you how to present speeches and write reports. It also covers statistics and scientific method.)
8- Honors Japanese 1

My school only offers honors classes and is essentially a fast-paced school for children who need more of a challenge.

Writing-wise, I learned about screen-writing and discovered a better side to poetry. I have learned how to effectively utilize syllables in rhythmic manners. I have written a few short stories that exercise more symbolism rather than a cliché story. Here is an excerpt:

I will admit, I'm not the brightest bulb in the bunch but it isn't my fault that a massively flawed education system did nothing for my learning needs and habits. Teachers nowadays don't know how to use their words. They don't explain or anything. They hand out little worksheets with poorly drawn diagrams that do nothing overall. There is no narrative in the teaching of today, and that is why I am utterly trapped in these wooded mountains. It doesn't help that Virginia just might have some of the hottest summers in the pseudo-south.

This particular excerpt is from a reworking of the Disney Hunchback of Notre Dame. This is the point of view of my Esmeralda. The idea of the story is that the innocence preached to us by a large majority isn't always the best thing. People are materialistic and narcissistic. They want beauty–be it inner or outer–and those with beauty want love and a mutual conglomeration equates to love between the two. However, if you drop some of your reservations and open up, perhaps you will find your love. 

I also you flowers a lot as symbolism throughout the story. Characters will mention a flower that reflects their true desires. For example, Binny, who is being held prisoner by her care taker, mentions the beauty of the Butterfly Weed. The meaning of said flower being, "Let me go."

Personality wise, I have opened up. I have become wise and well-worded. I took up baking and crochet. People now think of me as an old soul and good friend. I feel as though years of knowledge have been poured into my head from the jar held by Aquarius. I just know things and understand now. And, I can only get smarter. There is so much more out there.

Music wise, I have improved upon my taste in music. I know longer listen to Flyleaf and Three Days Grace. I enjoy Mother Mother.

I enjoy Metric still but I have calmed myself and understand better.

I also enjoy The Mountain Goats.

Neutral Milk Hotel is quite fine. I love the beauty found in gruesome wording.

I also admit to enjoying Katy Perry. I'm sorry but I just love her.

I apologize to the world for myself but hey, children are children. They grow. I'm still a child and I still have growing to do.

BTW-I watch Doctor Who, Doc Martin, Sherlock, Breaking Bad, Adventure Time, and more now.
I also fell in love with Minecraft.

HI!

Hi, I'm back

(and out of a slump)

I am finally going to begin writing again.
SHE FELL is out the door and I am currently deliberating some story ideas
with the help of some  friends. The three ideas I really like are:
1- A story about a mermaid who is cursed (a more modern fairy-tail though)\
2-A Victorian era story about a girl who plays violin but cant remember her past--
3-A story telling what happens after sleeping beauty wakes up and everything goes wrong

 tell me what ya think
and i'll get back to ya soon

SO I've gotta sleep but bye!

My history of the glory know as punk-rock, hard-rock, rock in general, and metal

All my life I have been fed this wondrous thing called music. And not all that horrible earsplitting crap called pop but my wondrous, wondrous rock. Instead of 

My first love broke my heart for the first time,
And I was like
Baby, baby, baby ohhh
Like baby, baby, baby noo
Like baby, baby, baby ohh
I thought youd always be mine mine

I listen to:

No time for goodbye he said
As he faded away
Don't put your life in someone's hands
They're bound to steal it away
Don't hide your mistakes
'Cause they'll find you, burn you
Then he said

If you want to get out alive
Hold on run for your life
If you want to get out alive
Hold on run for your life

I mean really? who wants to listen to songs written by some random record company doofus that seems to have a meaning but really has none at all? 

Now don't you dare go all EWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!! Some gross emo music!. It is quality music with messages and more. Plus it sounds way better then the auto-tuned not so glorious fake country star miley cyrus. 

I have been listening to this stuff forever mostly because 

1)my dad was in GWAR as the original Balsac Jaws of Death

2)My mom played in various rock bands and still plays in bands

3)The music is amazing and I had two kind older sisters who also liked it

I remember listening to Avril when her music didn't suck and green day. I also remember playing Spyro the dragon and I remember my purple gecko appropriately named spyro. I remember watching anime like sailor moon and riding my bike doing insanely dangerous U-turns(I learned that they were dangerous the hard way) and going for walks in the cemetery down the streets. 

Awww......

The good days,

now I'm a homework logged "Emo" girl who never has time except now.

I hate it when people ask

"Your emo right?"

I eventually started answering "I'm myself" 

In one french class I got asked 20 times.

My science teacher says I read "satanic books" which makes me laugh because

she said the same thing to another kid. But he looks up dead bodies on the internet.

The art teacher eavesdropped on a conversation about that. 

I think all the subs are dyslexic too. 

Telici is read Telicia, and Ian(ee-n) is read Ian (eye-n)

The sub kept looking at my friends and I weird too. 

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

we kept laughing a lot... like a lot....

My orchestra techer keeps playing the star wars theme during class.

Its stuck in my head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For halloween I'm cosplaying as sakura from the Tsubasa Chronicles. I'm going to make her

"dream dress" the one she wears in the dream world because I absolutely love it. 

I gotta go...............

do nothing..................

bye,

Logan

Violin!

So everyone, here is a little background story for ya :


When I was in 3rd grade I played violin for a month before I was forced to switch to mandolin, which I hated. And so, I gave it up.




NOW:
The orchestra class at school had two members, So the over crowded art class was talked to about people who wanted to switch. I decided I wanted to leave the wretched art class(I love art just not the teacher) and went to orchestra class to play violin and am learning quickly in fact, I CAN PLAY JINGLE BELLS! amazing right? I'm joking... hahaha... 


Awkward silence...


So, have you ever wondered why teachers want to know where you live, who you live with, your schedules, your likes and dislikes, what you did over the summer, what you are doing next summer... and blah blah blah ect. 


TEACHERS ARE STALKERS!!!!!!!!!!
hahahahahaha
just kidding... maybe...


ANYWAY, sorry but bye
bye

The Enmity of Nobody Characters

I used a doll divine elements game to create almost exact replicas of what I consider the three girls in Enmity of Nobody look like. Also included is a character that is introduced later.

Owl

I love this photo from http://www.ezzal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Golden-Masked-Owl.jpg.

I just wanna say that I love owls and think they are beautiful creatures

French, and sitting on tables plus veggies!

I just started school and am happy to be back with my friends and teachers. It's even more fun when mostly everyone there is insane. A lot of teachers make a lot of jokes and have fun games. I am back to french and reviewing it. I like my french class because there is only nine of us and we make a lot of jokes and hang out together. Il est amusement! Plus, we get to pick a french name to go by. I picked Renée this year. It means "born again" and is a good way to start the year. I also like that I'm starting algebra. I can be a bit of a math geek but I find it fun. I like figuring stuff out. In history class we did an icebreaker. Everyone would write down a not-so-well-known fact on their sheet of paper and fold it and put in a box. Someone would draw and guess who the person who wrote it was. Eventually, everyone would say it was Adam if they didn't know the answer. I sorta started that...
  All my classes are insanely crowded. In Algebra there is 40 kids! In Science there is 36, in english and history it is the same. They are going to fix it but for now people are sitting under tables, on tables, on stools, armchairs, sharing desks, or sitting on the floor. In algebra we had to sit in the hallway there was so many people. I'm still hanging out with my friends though and having fun. Starting yesterday, The first day of school I became a vegetarian. It's all because of an incident involving chicken...
   I'm being an insomniac and getting an average of 6 hours of sleep. I'm not tired though. In fact I'm more hyper than ever! I'm having a lot of fun but can't wait to get my locker. My back is suffering from carrying so much stuff.
I gotta go!

B.o.B. Airplanes ft. Hayley Williams

 So, I finally unpacked my iPod yesterday and it wasn't charged so I drew some pictures. I am getting way better at drawing by the way. And so I added some more drawings to the wall of photographs and drawings on my bedroom walls and yeah... I went off topic there... I also put up this insanely old self portrait and stuff and looked at my old ones. I was bored because my little brother was watching a horror movie downstairs and I am not good with horror movies.


 Horror stories are fine but movies are scary. That's why I read the synopsis of them on wikipedia instead, oh. I got off topic again. Anyway, so I was bored and started surfing the internet and I came across B.o.B. Airplanes ft. Hayley Williams and so I listened because I love the song. I'm not one for rap but I love Hayley Williams and this song is just great. Today, I charged my iPod after highjacking the charger from my brother and got it on my iPod. However, right now I'm listening to Three Days Grace. I love them so much. The lyrics, the music, the videos(although they are slightly weird) are all awesome. As soon as I get some money I'm going to get Panic! at the Disco on my iPod because I'm tired of going to youtube every time I want to here them. I love the New Perspective video they did for Jennifer's body. I can watch that but that is as high as I will go on the horror movie scale. Not Jennifer's Body but the music video about it. The blood looks really fake in it so I'm fine. Like in Vampires Suck I was fine with it but I'm not good with surprises or stuff that makes your heart skip a beat. 


 So the school year is coming. I'm happy to see everyone again but the school got the schedules wrong so everything is really confusing. I've also been trying to get on a normal sleep schedule but I'm not a morning person so I stay up until three and wake up at like 12. I try to go to sleep but I am a bit of insomniac. I've been trying to dream lately. The last two dreams I had had to do with Alice in Wonderland. Although one was based on a slightly bloodier version from a manga and in the other the mad hatter turned into a vampire and tried to kill me. I would get into that but It would take a lot of typing and explaining. I had a third dream that involved filling a mattress with blood and being stalked. I will post all three dreams later. I don't dream much and want to try to again to see what I dream about. I have dreamt once a month for the past four months. The other is really short and normal. I don't usually remember dreams or having them so I'm happy even if I've had two nightmares. One made me creep around the house looking for a ghost when I woke up because I thought my dream was a memory or real at first.


I'm going to stop now because my shoulder is aching from leaning on it.
So, bye.
