Happy Spring Break, Everyone!!!

Well, I'm back, & I'm sooo happy because IT'S SPRING BREAK!!!!! Hooray! It's such a relief, too, cause I'm sooo busy all the time! I also have SO MUCH news, beginning with this: I GOT A PART IN THE PLAY!!!!!! I play Ginger Bred, the gangster's pretty, blonde girlfriend. Everyone laughs whenever I tell them what part I got, though! I DO NOT get that! Oh well, we're(me, Mom, Dad, Syd, Jake, & Kennedy) coming back from this arcade place called Alley Catz, & I'm VERY tired, cause I did Rock Climbing & Laser Tag, & it takes all the energy out of you! Seriously! So, I'm SOSOSO tired, so I'm gonna close up this post. Peace out, home-dog! ;)

Uhhhhhhhh.......I'm dying of boredom.......

Well I'm back, after a VERY, VERY, VERY long time. I'm sorry that I haven't been blogging much, I'm just so busy all the time! Kay, so BIG NEWS: I auditioned for my school play! It's a comedy/murder mystery, called "Register Here", cause it all takes place in a hotel. The thing of the play is that someone is murdered, & there are 3 questions: WHO was the victim? WHO was the murderer? & WHO keeps moving the body? There's actually something really funny that I heard about the play: almost everyone in Drama Club wants to play the dead body! Hahahahahahaha! Kay, so I auditioned last Thursday, & I waited this whole week for results, but sadly, the results are VERY hard to determine, so they will be posted tomorrow after school! & also, Mr. Fortune, the Drama teacher, told me & my friend Mandi (after Mandi asked for a hint about the results), that we both got parts in the play! O-M-GOSH! *squeals & does happy dance* Well, besides that, there's no more news about my life...which reminds me, my friend Jessica (Jessie for short) has a blog, too! It's called My Life, but the web address is www.swimmerjes.blogspot.com. I encourage all of you to read her blog, it's cool! Well, I'm gone, cause I'm actually blogging from my phone(yes, I know, I'm soooo high-tech), I'm in the car in the church parking lot, cause Dad takes me to church choir practice @ 12:30, but he had a meeting, so I got dragged here an hour early! Grrr.....what can I do for another 30 minutes? Hmmm.....

Tired....So Much......Snnooooore...

I'm really tired, even though I went to bed @ 11 last night & woke up @ 9:45 this morning. My brother is being a dorkface pest, & he's reading this as I write it, but I don't care, cause he's ticking me off so badly. Oh well, I don't have anything to write about, so I'm gone. Bye-a!

Life As A Teenager Rocks...For Now

Hi I'm back, & I'm now OFFICIALLY a teenager!!! I celebrated my 13th b-day on January 16th, which was, let's see, 1, 2....6 days ago. I got ROCKIN Ed Hardy shoes, & I would love to talk more, but I'm going to bed(reluctantly, once again), so my very important news; I wrote yet ANOTHER poem, called "Gossip". Here it is:

I'm trapped, can't breathe

My voice can't be heard

Being held like this

Is worse than being called a nerd

This is a prison,

One you can't break

But the keeper, he's really

Nothing short of a slimy snake

How did this start?

How did this go wrong?

Who destroyed me?

Who destroyed my life?

Who caused me all this grief,

These tears, this strife?

There is someone 

Who is making me trip

His name is none other than 

Gossip

I'M 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG it's my 13th birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! I'm sooooooooo happy!!!!!! Today has just been wonderful!!!!!!!!!

I'm A Poet & I Didn't Know It...Hey, That Rhymes!!!

Hey, I'm back, & I'm sorry that my last post was so quick, I was rushing. So anyways...It's now time for "News From DJMS", brought to you by ME!! Haha! So, the latest stuff that involves me @ school... #1. Finals are next week!!! UGH!!! I HATE HATE HATE tests & finals & all that crappy junk! It's just like TAKS! For 4 WHOLE DAYS!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! But that brings me to my 2nd piece of news... #2. My 13th birthday is a week from today!!!! YAY!!!!!! I'm super excited, because it's the day after the last day of finals, & we have no school next Friday(my birthday, January 16th, @ 7:35 a.m.), so it's like celebrating my birthday & it's also like celebrating the end of semester finals! Double-Yay! So, my last real piece of news has to do with a chain text that's going around my school. It's about this ghost or something...here, I found the account on Snopes. Check it out:

"Carmen Winstead was pushed down a sewer opening by 5 girls in her school,trying to embarrass her in front of her school during a fire drill.When she didn't submerge the police were called.They went down and brought up 17 year old Carmen Winstead's body,her neck broken from hitting the ladder,and then the side concrete at the bottom.The girls told everyone she fell...They believed them.FACT:2 months ago,16 year old David Gregory read this post and didn't repost it.When he went to take a shower he heard laughter from his shower,he started freaking out and ran to his computer to repost it.He said good night to his mom and went to sleep.5 hours later his mom woke up in the middle of the night cause of a loud noise.David was gone.That morning a few hours later the police found him in the sewer,his neck broken and his face skin peeled off. Even google her name- you'll find this to be true. If you don't repost this saying 'they pushed her' Then Carmen will get you,either from a sewer, the toilet, the shower,or when you go to sleep you'll wake up in the sewer,in the dark, then Carmen will come and kill you."

It's super spooky, but DUH it's not real. Snopes said it's false, & besides, you gotta be pretty darn gullible or stupid to think "Oh no, I must forward this to 10 people or Carmen will come & rip my face off!" Hahahaha! So, my last order of business that is NOT part of "News @ DJMS" is that my mom pointed out that I seemed to be more of a poet than a songwriter, after she read "Lover's Sorrow" on my blog, so I've decided that they are all poems now, except for "Lullaby" & my new song, "Where You Are", because I've put music to those. Ok, I wrote 2 new poems, called "You Don't Know" & "My Rainbow". Here's "You Don't Know":

They think it's simple,

They think its a breeze,

But the truth is, that in childhood,

All the rest do is tease.

You feel lost and delirious.

Sometimes, it's a daze.

Middle school is nothing short

Of a big, gigantic maze.

So when I scream and cry,

Parents say they're friends, not a foe.

But all I gotta say to that is

You don't know.

& here is "My Rainbow":

You are my sunshine, my rainbow,

My bright, new day.

When clouds of sadness come,

You keep them at bay.

With you, I'm forever happy,

Like the child inside.

When I stay with you,

Troubles don't come by.

You are my sunshine, my rainbow,

Happiness can't go away.

You are my hope, my love,

Nothing will take you away.

& last, but certainly not least, is "Where You Are":

Verse 1

I'm sitting by my bedside

Waiting for you

I look out the window

Still waiting for you

The snow is falling lightly

It's waiting for you, too

I'm waiting for you, Romeo

Come save me, please do!

Chorus

You promised to be here

To be here with me

I sit out here, where are you?

I love you, can't you see?

Left here on this cold, cold night

Watching the stars

I can't bear to be alone

I want to be where you are

Verse 2

The stars are disappearing

While I'm waiting for you

A single tear rolls down my cheek

Sick of waiting for you

The rain is pouring down

Even while I cry

I, Juliet, can't be here much longer

All I do is sigh

(Chorus)

Verse 3

I think I see now

It's useless, waiting for you

It's becoming very clear

It's silly, waiting for you

It feels like a dream, a nightmare

Except that this is real

You're killing me, my love

While I die in kneel

(Chorus)

Ending

Left here in this dark, cold world

Watching the last star

I can't bear to be alone 

I want to be where you are

...Where you are.

I think that "Where You Are" is fantastic, but it took a super-long time to write, because I wrote it, changed it, finished it, prepared to post it(I have this thing that whenever I post a song or poem on my blog, it's officially published, & I can no longer alter the lyrics or music.), looked for the paper with the song on it, discovered that I lost it, realized that I could rewrite it because I remembered the 1st verse & chorus, rewrote it, gave it to friend to read, thought that friend lost paper AGAIN, got a little mad, realized that friend still had paper, apologized for madness, got paper back, wrote "You Don't Know" & "My Rainbow", decided to be a poet/songwriter, & finally, posted 2 new poems & 1 new song. Great, huh? Well, I gotta go. Later, song gators! (Hee hee, I love changing my gators thing. ;) )

Lover's Sorrow...

I'm back from Utah, & I wrote a song. Here it is:

Lover's Sorrow

I waited for you

You never came

I came for you

You weren't there

I am Juliet, waiting on the balcony

But Romeo is gone

I am Rapunzel, locked in the tower,

But my prince will never come.

I am Cinderella, rushing from the ball,

Prince Charming won't wisk me away.

I am Sleeping Beauty,

But I won't wake up today,

Nor will I tomorrow,

Because this is the song of a

Lover's Sorrow
