New Look?

When I saw Adventures of a Teenage Hawk, my friend's blog, I was like, ".. my blog looks boring. yeck." I've changed the look a little, but it's still the same template, and I think I might change that too. x)

I noticed that I haven't been blogging as much about 9 recently (well, my frequency of blogging has gone down, period). I still love 9 (and I have two fanfics in the works) but I do suppose I'm not as obsessed anymore.. though my friends and I still quote Smallsthehero's youtube 9 parodies 24/7.

Alright, um.. Well, I used to just do FarmVille on facebook. That was it, aside from the occasional quiz. Now I'm trying out things I normally wouldn't, like Mobsters 2.. I also have to say I do like CafeWorld.

I'll probably edit this later, as I have the impression that I have more things to say, but I just can't think of them right now.

Balloon Cars {and cave in}

I've had just about enough
Of cloaked diamonds in the rough
Because my backbone is paper thin
Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in

So, Mrs. Persad assigned us this stupid project on Friday; we had to make a "car" powered by no more than 2 balloons in a week, and it had to go at least 5 meters. That's 15 feet. And did I mention that the wheels you used could not be anything originally meant to be used as wheels?

It was pretty stupid, and me and my partner had a bit of a scramble to get it done. Especially me; I (and I got my parents to help a lot, too) stayed up until 1 last night getting it done. And all in all, it went 3 meters. That's good, since at least once or twice it didn't really go anywhere, which means that I got an 85 instead of a 65. Whew.

It's 1 again right now, and I probably should've gone to bed 2 hours ago.. but I kinda got wrapped up in Tvtropes. Which I think is kindof lame and not really well known, but it has that Wikipedia quality that you can keep looking up stuff for hours. Which.. I just did.

If the bombs go off the sun will still be shining
Because I've heard it's said that every mushroom cloud has a silver lining

By the by, getting the Ocean Eyes album was definitely a good idea. Even the song that I thought was wayyyyyy too cheery at first seems to appeal to me now. And my dad seems to like Owl City, which is cool.

I'm going to be a vampire again, like last year - same costume and everything, since I didn't express much interest in being something else. And I don't mean the sparkly vampire. I just have a pale face and a trickle of face blood for my makeup. No glitter. ;)

Tie my handlebars to the stars so I stay on track~

Happy Halloween, everyone!

{By the way, my possible favorite song out of the Ocean Eyes album is Cave In, followed by the original Hello Seattle and, of course, Fireflies.}

blarrggh

mrs. persad really annoys me. out of all my teachers this year, she is the only one i really dislike (though i thought she was okay at first.) she gives out ridiculous science projects and she talks way too fast and she's like ugggh. one time she had us spend the entire period presenting our warm-ups, and then we had to go turn them in anyways. she could've just asked us to turn them in and let us do something USEFUL for a change. but nooo.

i just bought the entire owl city album ocean eyes. i hope i don't regret it. i just basically spent the very last of my itunes money (and yes, i use itunes. i'm scared that my parents will find out that i downloaded it from somewhere else and thing i pirated it or something like that. ;-; oh well.)

Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria (which, by the way, is on the 9 soundtrack) is really cool. I like it, although I must say that I actually just like the instrumentals. x) If you wanna see what I'm talking about, here you go.

this is the one time i'm allowed to stay up until like midnight, and i start getting tired-ish around eleven. ;P

oh yes, and now for a statement about the wonderful MLIA, if you haven't heard of it already..

My Life is Average.

Yes, it's true.

But sometimes, there are amazing, wonderful situations that happen to average people. MLIA is a site which shares the layout style of the more well-known FML, but the stories are entertaining and thoughtful. Here's an example;

"Today, I found out that my guidance counselor had me switched to harder classes. I was really upset until I went to AP global. when I got there, the teacher handed out 3D glasses to every student and began to write notes on the board in 3D chalk. I have a feeling I'm going to like this class. MLIA"

I swear, after reading FML for a while, this site gives me hope for the human race.

Not quite worth my time.

So, I may have not said that I'm in a 9 guild on Neopets. (Yeah, I still play Neopets. I don't care.) It's rather slow; the two main admin, 7 and 9 (we call each other by the numbers we roleplay), don't get on much, and 3 is kinda illiterate. There are only a few members, and roleplay is quite slow, but I'm still fine with it. I'm okay with a slow guild. Plus, two of the members, 0 and 27, are two of my best friends in real life (notably 0.)

Now, 27 has been in many guilds in her time on Neopets, and she's created almost as many guilds as she's actually been in. Many of these guilds she's created she's pressured me to join (on my side, usually) and I do, and we roleplay, or chat, or whatever, for a week or two, and then she declares that it's dying and she makes a new guild. Now, I can understand the search for the perfect guild. I've only found three which I hoped would last forever, and they all died. D; But that's beside the point.

The only thing is that 27 left today. Here's the conversation that happened:

27: I am thinking about leaving, guys.
Me: Whaaat? ;-;
27: Roleplay hasn`t been that good, there`s no web, barely any members... not quite worth my time...

"Not quite worth my time."

As far as I know, no guild (except perhaps that one Redwall guild) was worth her time. None of her guilds were worth my time. This makes me angry. Maybe it shouldn't. I don't think it should, actually. But it does. There has never been a guild that we have been together that either of us was satisfied with.

Hell, she was the one who invited me and 0 to this guild!

I considered making excuses for our guild, or even confronting her and saying all the stuff I'm saying now. But all I said was, "I.. I'm sorry to hear that."

And she replied, "I know. Maybe I should look for a themeless.. Anyways, good luck with getting members." Then she left.

I wish I told her all the things I'm thinking. No, I don't. That would be bad; I don't want our friendship to break.

I've always been afraid of broken friendships, I think. Like that one day in Language Arts.. but that is another story, one I'm more afraid of posting on the Internet, in the case the friend it concerns finds it.

Heck, 27 might find this, especially if she looks through my tweets and decides to visit my blog. But I don't think she reads my blog, so I guess it's okay. Even so, I'm not tweeting about this.

Wow..

I haven't blogged for nearly 2 weeks. Gosh, I need to get back in the habit! Dx Alright, um.. update update update.

I LOVE Three Days Grace. I 've only gotten the chance to fully listen to one of their albums, but I have to say I am in love with many of their songs, my favorites being Life Starts Now and Break. One of the others, No More, is spurring me to write a 9 songfic about a fight between 7 and 1, though it'll be tough, since that has been done many times.

I went to the Texas Renaissance Festival on Sunday. It was drizzling for much of the time, but it was still quite fun. The Texas Renaissance Festival is a festival that takes place on weekends from October through November where people basically get to dress up and do all kinds of medieval stuff. There are loads of shops but there are also some really fun rides and everyone is like "Good day!" and not a soul is wearing a Hollister shirt. It's four hours away, but it's really fun and I think working there someday might be fun.

Also, 9 is going out of theaters where I live. And I only got to see it in the movie theater once. How sad; maybe I'll be able to convince my mom to take me again this weekend, before it is gone completely.

All I Ever Wanted/Vi sitter i ventrilo och spelar DotA

I found this cool song earlier today - All I Ever Wanted by Basshunter. I liked it, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I had heard it before, except in another language. I searched it a few times and just couldn't find anything. Finally, I found what I was looking for; Vi sitter i ventrilo och spelar DotA, which a friend of mine showed me quite a few months ago. I'm not sure which one I like better, but it certainly made my day. :D
