I just can't resist you

I have listened to the same song about twenty times.

Untouched by The Veronicas.

I might go out and spin some today. I miss it. (color guard) This isn't working. Blogging and listening to music that is catchy. So...later.

Holy shy

I just had it pointed out to me that I have this thing linked to my pants. Nerdfighters everywhere can come and look if they felt the need. Crap. I need to post more. Hi Nerdfighters!!!

you...rap?

Yes.

I am a rapping nerdfighter. My first public rap was senior year. In econ there is a major test that you need to pass to graduate. Because it is so important there are review sessions that you MUST go to. At one of these sessions each person was given a term. Mine was monopolistic competition. I sat and thought for a while and then came up with this little poem. When I said it to one of my friends it came out as a rap. She thought it was good so I stuck with it.

What is it? Oh, sorry. I didn't know you cared about it that much.

Monopolistic competition is the way to go. You get what you want without all the dough. So, if it tastes like sprite, but its got a different label don't think that its some made up little fable. Don't worry about what the others might say. The only difference is in what you're gonna have to pay.


Why tell you this? I am writing a breaking dawn rap.

Happy Dance

I am a nerd. And darn proud of it. (Nerdfighters ftw!) But some things confuse me. I finally figured out that IRL is "in real life". Um...okay. Couldn't they have said that? No, oh...well, fine.

I like research. Not on things like mushrooms and how to change the oil in your car (ride a bike instead). I like looking up how to tell if a book is first edition. I can do that now. I can't say what it is if it's not a first, but it helps. A bit. And I like finding out where the independent book stores are around me. Every author needs one as a friend. Thats not a rule, but when you want to do a signing for the first time being some place you know is nice. I like looking up writing tips (read. read.read.). agents, and anything that I feel the need to know more about.

I want a dictionary. I have one. Well, my family owns two, but I want my own. The Compact Oxford English Dictionary to be exact. But its a lot of money. It's not going to happen. So, in a bit (more like four hours) I am going to go to a book store with my mother and see if there is one that catches my fancy.

I also want a thesaurus. (Not dictionary/thesaurus.) If I hadn't already known I was nerdy that would have tipped me off.

Last thing. You know Stephenie Meyer's new book Breaking Dawn? I am going to write a rap about it. If its any good I might post it on youtube.

Now, what is the plural of series...?

Inspiration...

I think I may have...inspired someone. Now if Everly is reading this and I have said something she thinks is a false statement I hope she tells me.

Everly Pleasant is a writer. She has a blog here on blogspot. (I think I have it so the title links to her page.) I found her when I was looking at everyone that has writer listed as their profession. She had said something in one of her posts that I felt the need to reply to. You can drag your tush over to her blog to see what she said and what I had to say in turn. It is the July 11th post.

She mentioned my comment in one of her new posts. ("Pen in hand..." which made my day. the smallest things make me happy.) I haven't read the entire thing yet so....one minute.

Wow. That's about all I can say to that post. It was perfect. I don't know if you will get the same thing out of it as I did, but I hope you do. I don't know how I helped "trigger" that because it inspired me.Not only that, but it made me think. It made me thankful. It put me in awe. She...is so smart that you can see each thought that went into the words. I...can't even talk about it right now. I'll try later.

Grumble, grumble, blah, blah, blah

I forgot to listen to music when i post.

Heroes (you know, the show?)

So...I have been making art with the best quotes from the twilight series. The are cool. But I need to kick it up a notch so I made a few in advance (i post them on my facebook) so that I can spend time drawing some. I am not an artist, but I'll try my best. I need to finish the book I'm reading so I can reread the twilight books for the release or Breaking Dawn. It's what I did for Harry Potter. It's fun. Revisiting books before you enter the world to continue the story.

Any who. I have an episode to watch. Did I mention that I am meeting Hayden Panettiere? Well, I am. In August. Wooo!

Easy entertainment

Nope, sorry. No suggestions. What I going to say, however, makes me entertained. I love comments. They make me SO happy. Too happy, possibly. But they make my day. This blog has now had TWO comments. WOO!

Sorry. But I (kinda) warned you.

Everyone has been having problems making decisions. For me it's college. I spent a semester at the college I went to for band camp when I was in high school. Left me rewind a second. I first found out about the school when I was in tenth grade through my drama department. Then senior year I made guard and we went to the school for away camp. I loved the campus and it was just far enough away to let me feel like I could grow up with out my parents being RIGHT THERE. So, when I was freaking out about not getting into the local school My school popped into my head. I knew that one of my friends was going there and figured I should try it. Now before I say anything about the school you need to know that there is nothing wrong with it. It just wasn't right for ME. All through high school I had things to do. Chorus, Drama, and color guard took up a lot of my time and they were things I loved to do, but at My school I had nothing to do outside of class. It made me unhappy and I spoke often about quitting and going home. Even when all I had left were finals I still wanted to give up and leave.

That was my problem. Go back or find something new. I want a job. I need money for Dragon*Con. (Google it, please.) Talking to my mom on the floor or a Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I chose to go back. Tonight my dad question my choice. Once again, I don't know what to do.

The ages are...

I read a post talking about age, agents, editors, and writers. Too old are you might not get the right deal, too young and you might not be taken seriously. I added my two cents and I'll share with you as well.

"When you said something about a 19-year-old I had a moment of panic. I never thought about my age being an issue, but I understand that some people will see it as one. Being 19 can help me and it can hurt me. I haven't "seen the world", but I know how teenagers think, talk, and interact. Writing a book at my age is hard work, it is at any age, but I'm at the point where there are a thousand things I want to do with my time, and yet, I put those things aside to write."

I never thought about it the way this person had, but when I put my thoughts and feeling about the subject into written word I could see it in a new light. I am 19, and I know what I want to do with the rest of my life. I know what I will be doing 20 years from now even if it's just for me.
