Heyyyyyyy

Sorry I haven't posted a lot :( I've been pretty busy with school. Hopefully I'll start when school is over on FRIDAY!!!!!! plus PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES IS COMING OUT ON FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!

I need to post more...

I'm going to start posting once a week because it is so important to keep a journal and typing keeps my attention more than writing.

Ok, so here's my life's story since we left off...

My Disneyland Sweet 16 is definitely happening! My cousins are coming, my sisters, and 2 of my mom's friends with their daughters. GIRLS ONLY!!!!! 10 or 11 girls (depending if my aunt will come with my cousins). Easter was nice. We went to the Easter Pageant at the Mesa Temple. And the Easter Bunny came to our house. I got a dolphin Pillow Pet (I know it seems like I'm too old but it's so cute and comfortable!) and a really cute Pascal plushie (they were sold out everywhere except ebay and Amazon where the green Pascals were selling for $28+ ridiculous! So we found them for like $7 at BestBuy.com) Oh! and we got our Pre-Ordered Tangled movie the day it came out! We also got Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 for Easter with lots of candy. I also have these Tangled Lithographs that we were going to put in the basket with some other things but my dad went to the store and only bought candy so it wouldn't be fair if I got the most presents so we left them out. I've been reading books like CRAZY! A couple weeks ago we went to Barnes and Noble and I got a book, The Amaranth Enchantment by Julie Berry. I finished it in less than 24 hours. So we went back and I looked for the sequel but it wasn't there. So I bought Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George (she's LDS!) and I finished that in about a day. So like 2 weeks pass and I couldn't find the sequel, Princess of Glass for a reasonable price so I read the book again. Finally I found one on Amazon at the same time we bought our Easter stuff and I'm still waiting for it to come. The friend thing is still an issue. I just haven't found the right one yet. But at least people are talking to me. OOOH! and yesterday my dad had to do something for church with some of his "students" (he teaches a Sunday school class that is just above the group I'm in) and this guy I like asked about me! Actually, he was probably mainly asking about how school was going at basis because he goes to the regular public school, but at least he asked! See, last year this time I was at a dance and I had my friends ask him to ask me to dance. That didn't go so well because after that he pretty much knew I liked him. I was completely obsessed (and someone probably told him that I talked about him all the time). When I tried to make conversation his side seemed forced and annoyed (even on Facebook). I could see this happening so I laid-off a bit. Now I think he's had enough space to think that I don't like him anymore and that he can see me as a potential friend in the future. Why else would he ask about me. There is one problem with him though: he doesn't look like Flynn Rider, which is surprising because I usually go for dark haired boys (the guy in question is a Blonde).

This could be a good thing...

P.S. The masquerade ball was AWFUL! There was like 30 people crammed into a small banquet hall at this church! It was dirty, the people were weird, and there was no age limit so there were a bunch of Seniors mixed with 5th graders! NEVER DOING THAT AGAIN!!!!!!!

It's been a while...

No, I'm not dead, or under a spell, or locked in a tower, or adventuring with my prince (I wish!). I've just been so busy! School is stressful (not even close to basis though) I've had seminary and church to worry about. I was just called as the Young Women's chorister. I am sooooo ready for spring break!... While I was looking for poems for another essay I have to write, I came upon this one that I REALLY REALLY LOVE! (It didn't really have a title)

We’ve been fascinated with them since we were little girls.
Back when we wore our hair in ribbons and curls.
We longed to go to a fancy ball and wear a pretty dress.
Now our lives are full of worry and stress.
All we wanted was to be like the Princess in our favorite story,
A place filled with nothing but glory.
A place where true loves kiss can break the most evil of spells.
A land of happily ever afters and wedding bells.
Where the glass slipper always fits,
And a handsome Prince who finds it easy to commit.
It’s where true love always conquers all,
And where no dream is too small.
A land where magic carpets can fly,
Where love is always in full supply.
An enchanting place where mermaids swim under the sea,
Where chivalry lives on and men get down on one knee.
Deep down we all want the fairy tale,
Where dreams and faith prevail.
We can go there any time we wish to break loose,
The fact that we’re grown now isn’t an excuse.
It’s a place where chasing your dreams is never a crime,
If only we could live once upon a time…

This just sums up how I feel about everything. I've always wanted to be a princess. And I won't quit trying till I die! 

I'm finally getting somewhere with this Rapunzel costume I'm making. I have the patterns and everything. I just have to get out the sewing machine and get to work.

Pictures I Haven't Posted...

Here are some Tangled motivational posters I made:

Well, here you go...

I could go running and racing and dancing and chasing...

SO, life has been going better now that I'm home. K12 is pretty good so far. And, I've found a new addiction: Polyvore. It's a website where you can make different outfit sets for other people to see (mine are mostly Disney themed). My Polyvore name is waitingforthelights so check it out! I came upon Polyvore when I was looking for outfits because K12 is holding a Masquerade Ball in March. I am SO excited because originally, my sweet 16 plan was to have a Masquerade Ball myself. But the whole friend situation fell through and we decided it would be really expensive anyway. And I've always wanted to go to a ball, let alone a Masquerade Ball! I'm wearing a gold sequin dress and a black and gold mask with music notes on it because I LOVE MUSIC!

Wanted:

I found this site where you can make your own Tangled wanted poster (like Flynn Rider <3)

Not Exactly According to Plan... UPDATE

As it turns out, I'm not going to the public school. K12 finally called back and they said I'm in. So after a few hours of confusion, I'm completely exhausted. My parents made the decision. After all, Mother Knows Best... (and if she doesn't, Flynn Rider will come) My young women's leader called me today and asked me if I could sing tomorrow for our New Beginnings program because her daughter, who is a Mia Maid like me, is sick and can't go. I said yes. because it's good to practice short notice for when I'm on Broadway. Experience and all that... So back to the school thing, I will also be starting release time seminary so I can go in the middle of the day. No more waking up early! And I'll have a good teacher. So now I'll be sitting at home wondering When Will My Life Begin?... ; )

Not Exactly According to Plan...

Well... As I have said, I'm finally out of Basis forever, but there was a bit of a problem with the K12 Virtual School. We handed in all of the paperwork on time, but they failed to mention that they needed my transcripts at the same time. So I woke up this morning all ready to start, but it said that I wasn't fully registered because of the transcript issue and the deadline was Friday... Needless to say, I'm not attending the virtual school this year. So, I can't go back to Basis because I was fully released (it sounds like I was in prison) I'm now going to the public school here. And I am TERRIFIED! As soon as we drove up there were like 4 police cars posted there and it's such a big school. I'm scared I will get lost or something. And there's probably lots of drug issues there (they don't have lockers because of it). But other people like me have gone there and survived. At least I'll get some real friends... On another note, I/my mom changed my mind about being Charlotte La Bouff for halloween. Instead, I'm going as Rapunzel (didn't see that coming, did you?) with the braided hair look of course, I even found a wig that is 60" and I definitely have to braid it because I'm only 5'2. So, that's my life so far. Feel free to comment.

...and it's like the fog has lifted...

FINALLY! I am done with Basis!!!!!!!!!!!! Things are definitely looking more up-ier than before. I'm enrolled in K12 online school and hopefully I'll start on Monday. We're not sure because there were some issues with paperwork, so as of right now I'm a highschool drop out ; ). We're planning my Sweet 16 now. I'm going to Disneyland with a few close friends/cousins to celebrate. And, since my birthday is in October, we're going to go to the Halloween party and we can dress up! I'm going as Charlotte La Bouff from The Princess and the Frog. I am soooooo excited! We went to the Halloween party before and it was so much fun! I have to pay for admission for my friends (we're Disney Vacation Club Members so we're covered) and my costume but it will be so worth it! And, I'll get to meet Flynn Rider (haha). I'm still trying to decide what friends (besides my cousins) to take with me. It's kinda good and bad with the homeschool thing. I'm getting a fresh start with CYT and other programs I can do but it's so intimidating... I have more to say but I have to stop because my sister is complaining about my typing.

Bilingual (kinda)

En Français

Bon soir! Comment ça va? Moi, comme si comme ça. J'habite dans la États-Unis d'Amérique. Alors, moi, j'adore la musique et théâtre. J'aime la musique classique et musique moderne. J'adore danser mais je préfère chanter. J'ai les cheveux blondes et les yeux verts. Je suis petite. J'ai deux sœurs. Elles s'appelles Alexandra et Calyncia. Alexandra a 11 ans et Calyncia a 4 ans. Je n'ai pas d'animal domestique. J’aime aller au cinéma. J’adore les films. J’aime aller au café du week-end. J'aime parler Français.

En Anglais

Hello/good evening! How are you? I'm so-so. I live in the United States of America. So, I love music and theater. I love classical music and modern music. I love dancing but I prefer to sing. I have blonde hair and green eyes. I am small (short). I have two sisters. Their names are Alexandra and Calyncia. Alexandra is 11 years old and Calyncia is 4 years old. I have no pets. I like going to the movies. I love movies. I like going to the café on the weekend. I love speaking French.

So I kinda sound like a brainless robot (especially in english)  but you get it. It's really not a lot for half a year of French. The only other things I can say are the classes I take at school and what time it is. By the way, it is currently neuf heures et vingt du soir (9:20 P.M.) as I'm typing. Maybe I can go to Disneyland Paris to try out my new language.

When will my life begin? (possibly now)

Things are looking up *yay* I've had enough of the 5 hours of homework and teachers that don't understand and people that just up and leave my life. My parents are taking me out of Basis (I spelled it wrong just to make them mad, it's really supposed to be BASIS like they're superior to everyone else... yeah, I'm a rebel) and homeschooling me online. I am cautiously excited about this. I know the work will definitely be easier compared to my current 2 honors classes and 1 AP but I'm scared about the friend issue. Not that I have any real friends to worry about but still, how will it be when I'm at home all of the time?... I will have a social life anyway, I'm joining CYT (Christian Youth Theater, which isn't a church really, they just put on shows that are appropriate for kids and teens and it's run by Christian people) to follow my passion for musical theater...BROADWAY!... I really want to get into Broadway as my profession. I should probably post some videos of me singing. Anyway, that's another reason why Basis wasn't for me, they focus so much on math and science (again, Thank you President Obama. Remember, I'm not an Obama hater, I'm just sarcastic) and trying to get us ahead of the rest of the world (which I really don't understand anyway) that their arts programs are totally lax. Their choir is composed of 6 girls and a teacher who I heard is good but coming from an award-winning Chorus and Show Choir, it's less than mediocre. The teacher has her heart in it, but 2 girls I know in particular (who also were in Show Choir with me) say that she has started them with the basics (which is not the Basis way, mind you, my 5th grade sister is taking pre-algebra which is what I took last year) and has them singing "child-ish" songs and has thrown in some awful dance moves as well... So I'm soooooo excited to go to CYT to learn and make friends and do what I LOVE. It's my dream to get into Broadway... My Floating Lights...

Alone (again)

So you know in Tangled when Flynn Rider says he wants to be on an island alone with enormous piles of money? WHAT WAS HE THINKING??? Why would anyone want to be alone? It's the worst feeling in the world! To know that besides your family (which he didn't have anyway; he was an orphan) no one cares about you or misses you when you're gone or thinks about you...Well, that's where I am right now. Alone once again. In yearbook. Listening to music from Tangled for comfort. Because no one cares. Eavesdropping on conversations of the friends I used to have (not really, I'm not a stalker). I'm done with them now, they weren't real friends. They only cared about themselves so I'm better off without them. But it does feel awful to be alone. I'm seriously thinking of moving to Disney World. The happiest place on earth. Sounds great. When can I move in? Hopefully there is someone out there that knows how I'm feeling. If you are, please reach out to me. It would be nice for a change...

Picture Editing

One of my big presents for christmas was this picture editing system called Pixelmator. After hours of tears and confusion, I finally decided to read the manual. It sooooo payed off!

I think this picture looks so real! (below is the original)

(haha)

The day this picture was taken, it was rainy and gray so I HAD to edit it.

I love pictures like this! (my sister Calyncia)

This one was really fun!

It's not exactly the same b/c I had to cover up the names and make it completely black and white, but good for a first try, right?

Happy! (kinda)

1/11/11 My week is going better this time. My teachers are being a bit more chill because the 7th grade is doing pre-comps (whatever that is) and they seem to think that if we're stressed we'll take it out on them. But less work for me!


So I got distracted like 5 minutes ago and I was researching if Tangled will become a Broadway Musical (so far nothing.) and I  was disturbed reading comments from Disney-Haters (you hate Disney, I hate you) including one journalist for Vanity Fair, he's on the top of my hit list (just kidding). People who hate Disney have no soul. Either that or they can't take how joyful it is; in that case, they are just pure evil. Anyway, (I've been saying that a lot recently) he said that the musical numbers in Tangled and any Disney movie really, were excruciating to sit through! And that adults shouldn't go see it unless they have young children. I can somewhat understand both points (but not enough to validate them) I had to see it twice to really like the music, and there are so many adults in this world that have grown up too much to enjoy life but COME ON don't rip apart DISNEY! It's probably because there weren't really any "adult jokes" in it. And when I say "adult jokes", I mean vulgar, disgusting, laced with expletives and sex-related content. Seriously America, GET SOME CLASS! I saw Gulliver's Travels which was really cute besides the 3 distasteful jokes which go over the kids' heads but still... One joke in particular really bothered me. I hate it that PG rated movies can use "minor" bad words in their scripts. Do little kids need to hear that? I guess it's really on the parents though.






1/12/11 I'm sitting inYearbook right now. I hate this class. I can't even believe I get graded for sitting around and occasionally taking pictures. Oh yeah, and editing pages for a Yearbook I'm not buying. I refuse to support this school in any form. The ironic thing is that I joined this class for 2 reasons 1). Friends 2). It was my only choice. Both reasons are completely irrelevant now: 2 of my friends switched schools and the other remaining "friend" ditched me. The other one is kinda relevant but oh well.


So I'm sitting alone. ALONE alone AloNe Alone alONE. :...( Not so happy anymore. I'm also hungry. I didn't pack an adequate lunch. Thankfully Improv was canceled today so I can go home. This too shall pass...


Wow. It's not usual that I have run out of things to write.

EXHAUSTED!

So I finished my chores. and now I'm sooooo tired!!!!!!! I didn't start right after I posted the list so I finished in about an hour. And I was dizzy a minute ago. I think it's because I stop breathing when I'm in the zone. Probably not a good Idea but I really can't control that easily. My brain is probably like "Psh. Breathing isn't THAT important." WRONG!


Plus, this week has been sooooooo tiring. Adding to my depression, my teachers decided to make up for the last 2 weeks of vacation and piled on the homework. I have been up until 11 and later just trying to finish (and I have to wake up at 5:30) We're reading 1984 which is an EVIL book. I absolutely HATE it. I just don't like reading about depressing things and sex, lots and lots of sex. I mean, did George Orwell really run out of things to write about and fill the spaces with sex?  WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO??? I've run out of books to read at my house anyway, me and Rapunzel rereading and rereading books 3, 4, 5 times. It's monotonous. Books are getting really expensive these days. And why do they all have to come in hardcover? That just adds to the cost. It's probably the Mafia, just trying to steal all of the money from us by only releasing books in hardcover. Even paperbacks are expensive now. I had to buy St. Martin's Workbook 6th edition from my school for my honors language class for $35! So far, on books alone, we have spent $63, and that doesn't count supplies and notebooks.


My sisters are playing with Calyncia's tea set and occasionally the Rapunzel and Flynn Rider dolls. I am constantly fixing Rapunzel's hair. And it's not because I have an obsession with Tangled. It's because her hair is always getting messed up and I can not stand when dolls' hair gets scraggily! It drives me INSANE! I hardly ever played with my Barbies when I was a kid (I sound so old!) I was afraid their hair would get messed up. Plus, I was an only child at the time and I hated playing alone. Anyway, I wouldn't even play with dolls at my friends' houses if their dolls had scraggily hair. A bit OCD, I know, but it is so annoying!

7 a.m. the usual morning lineup. Start on the chores and sweep 'till the floor's all clean!

The chore list for today (I happened to be blogging when my mom called me to tell me the chores)

Calyncia: clean up toys/stuff and silverware

Alexandra: unload dishwasher ENTIRELY!!!!! clean kid bathroom w/ red vacuum and toys/stuff and straighten room

Me!!!!: clean kitchen: load dishwasher, wipe down table, counters, fridge, stove with hot water and lysol and vacuum floor and clean guest bathroom and floor w/ red vacuum and sort laundry and do 1 load (Calyncia can be my buddy!)
