P.S.

Don't you love my new backround?! MCR 4ever!

THEY'RE MAKING A MOVIE!!!

Woo Hoo! I'm so excited! Guess what I just found out! Okay, okay, wait. I'll start from the beginning.

So about 2 days ago I finished reading Twilight. I also found out the author was Mormon! Woot woot! They had a blood donation in honor of the fourth book at the BYU book store. Anyway, I'm on the second book now and I was looking through Entertainment magazine and.... They're making a movie! (I know probably every Twilight fan knows this, but it's exciting to me!) I'm so happy! I LOVE those books. I completely loose track of time when I'm reading them.

Oh but guess what more.... because the Harry Potter film is moved to 2009, Twilight has been moved to November 21st!

Okay, enough with the Twilight obsession, I have to do homework. Badly. Talk to you later!

"...from yesterday..."

Books I'm reading: Twilight by Stephenie Meyer; Beachglass by Wendy Blackburn
Movies I've watched: The Breakfast Club, The Woods, The Sixth Sense
Music I've been listening to: Phobia (album) by Breaking Benjamin; Angel by Sarah McLachlan; A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (album) by Panic! At The Disco; Lake Pontchartrain by Ludo; Angels On the Moon by Thriving Ivory; I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow and Didn't Leave Nobody but the Baby from O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Poems I've Been Writing: Sweet Serenity; Reflection of the World
Things I should be doing right now: summary of Evernight; summary of my summer; reflection on the concerts I saw in Canada; typing up some of my poems

Hey everyone! Yesterday was a great day. I did my book cover for school on Evernight (now I just have to finish the summary) and I read Twilight while drinking tea and watching the rain. Then my dad came over and we ate dinner and watched The Breakfast Club and The Woods. The Breakfast Club is a movie about five high school kids who get stuck in detention together one day after school. They all come form different "groups" i.e. one girl is "emo", the other is popular and rich, one boy is a jock, one guy is a nerd and the last guy is a rebel who comes from a so called "white trash" family. They all have personal issues going on at home and they eventually all confide in each other. They all become friends in the end. I know the ending sounds cheesy but it's a surprisingly deep and meaningful movie that's really good.
The woods was just about this boarding school where the girls are disappearing and no one knows why. It was actually pretty cool, I liked how the coloring of the movie was dim and slightly vintage like you weren't sure if they were really there.

Unfortunately, I must do my school work now. Ugh. I'll write more tomorrow!

Sweet Serenity

Apple cinnamon spice.
Twilight.
Sweet heat melting my throat.
Claudia Gray's words melting my soul.
Silence.
Evening light.
The hum of the air conditioner is home
and the silence is fantasy.
The window is my only outlet
out of my surreal train of thought.
Rain.
Serenity.
They compliment each other,
both come hand in hand.
Alone in the dark with:
Apple cinnamon spice
Silence
Rain
Twilight
Evening light
Serenity.

Where in the world have I been?

It's funny you should ask that because I have been in Canada, North Carolina, South Carolina and New York. I've been competing with my chorus, visiting family and getting a tan. "...I got this really good tan and I was like, bummer."~ Gerard Way Lol anyway, I know you're like "Did you forget about your blog?!" But of course I didn't! .....Okay maybe just a little. Well, I forgot about this blog- I have about a million other posts on my music blog.

So, South Carolina is the last place I've been. We went to this store on Broadway on the Beach called "The Stupid Factory". It is SO hilarious! They have pajamas, T-shirts, buttons, sticker, accessories, shoes, and hats. They have different characters and things. I have pajamas that say "I might break your heart" and the have the character Eve L. holding a mallet with a smashed heart at her feet. At S.C.'s Stupid Factory I got a sticker that says "Peas On Earth" and has peas holding hands around the world. I also have a magnet that says "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them". Anyway, you have to check it out. Click here.

On our way back from S.C., our flight was delayed. Then we were put into an hour long holding pattern while on the plane. Then, the airports closed due to bad weather and a tornado watch, so we landed in Atlantic City to get fuel. Well, my mom and I left the plane because we were starving. We ate at the airport and then we took a shuttle to the bus terminal. It turns out that Greyhound buses had messed up with something and everyone was now taking NJ Transit. They also weren't selling tickets to New York until 2. At 2:15 we got tickets then got the bus at 3. We got stuck in traffic for an hour and it started to pour rain. We got home at 7:45pm. We had had gotten up at 8 that morning and were supposed to be home by 12:00pm.

Fortunately for me, I love the rain and leaning my head against the soft bus seat, staring out the window with Breaking Benjamin in my ears was heaven. We were also on the highway that passed all the woods so it was really gorgeous. The thin trees close together, grass and plants carpeting the ground, leaves shielding the earth from the rain. Breath by BB completing the stunning scenery of blinding rain.

Title Taken

I've been real busy with my other blog so I haven't posted much on this one. I'll be leaving tomorrow, but I get back Sunday. I'm going to Myrtle Beach, S.C. Woot woot! I painted my toes bright green and my fingers dark blue for the occasion.

Oh, sudden new subject, I just finished reading this amazing book called Evernight by. It's great! It's about a girl who is going to a new boarding school (Evernight) with her parents as teachers. She meets a boy named Lucas Ross (like Ryan! lol) and they immediately have a connection. Outcasted by the "Evernight type" they stick together with their two friends. But as the school year goes on, their relationship is strained. And things get a little- bloody. If you love blood, vampires, love stories and twists and turns, you'll LOVE this book. The author does an amazing job at describing things so you feel like you're in the middle of it all. There's a shocking twist in the middle that completely throws you offgaurd. I could tell you this book is about vampires, but you'll never guess what happens. The author also does a great job at making you connect and empathize with the characters. you know the kind that you start yelling at the character out loud while you're reading it? Yeah, that kind.

Anyway, it's just amazing and I'm very pleased to have found a great vampire book that isn't cheesy or predictable or stupid, which is very hard to come across.

Sorry for my rambling, and I'll see you all Sunday! Bye!

An Awesome Poem

Midnight Serenade
A Love Song For The Lonely Hearts

A coyote's song breaks through the jet black night
Its moroseful cry mimics the shaky beating of my lonely heart
I look at the stars, blazing white-hot against an inky dark
And wish my eyes could somehow reflect the same brilliant glow
My stomach turns and I wonder if I may have fallen ill
Before I realize it is your memory alone that makes me feel this way
Close my eyes, count to ten, wait for the butterflies to find their peace
Open them again, exhale slowly, regain composure
And try to chose the lesser of two evils -
Live again, breath again, every day, without you
Or die slowly with your image forever in my mind
