I Hope I Don't Fall Asleep at the Keyboard

I was home for three days once I got back from camping. We are going to leave again to go camping after my piano lesson tomorrow. I am sleepy but bored so I am typing this post whilist trying to stay concious. More work has been done on my room in the past three days too. I think the scariest question will be how many gallons total of paint were used on everything in my room that I painted. O_o That would probably be a pretty big number. My parents asked me what I wanted for my birthday this year...Well it was a tempting thought because there was about three things I was currently drooling over: Guild Wars (PC game), one of Tool's CD's (music CD), and a cell phone. I decided I could always get the Tool CD and Guild Wars another time. For almost two years my mother has complained about the phone bill being so high because all my friends are long distance, so I bugged her to let me get a cell phone and share a plan with her cell phone. When she asked what I wanted for my birthday I decided to ask for a cell phone. With my luck she will probably let me get my eyebrow pierced before I get a cell phone (my mom won't even let me get my eyebrow pierced). A cell phone would make things easier. Well I am getting sleepy. Until next time!

Well, well....

I have finally returned from camping again...but again, I am only going to stay home for two days, then returning to go camping again....Argh! I want to stay home for two weeks at the most! My summer is slowy devouring itself before I can even attempt to enjoy it. I have written three more songs and that make a grand total of seven songs written so far. We have finally decided on our band name and as I said before I am not releasing it unless something happens where our name is copyrighted or something. The Ionia Free Fair started a couple days ago and will end on July 29th. I hope to go and take one of my friends with me. I'll see how things turn out. Until Then!

Maybe I was wrong?

I have returned from camping again because we had to do laundry. I guess I was wrong about not being able to use the internet until I get back. I have been keeping myself alive while camping and editing some of the songs I wrote last time I went. I still wish I knew enough about html coding to change the layout of my blag though. I hate the color black, but when I was choosing layouts, it seemed to be the only one closest to what I wanted so I chose it despite it's color. I am slowly srating to enjoy camping more and more so I'll see if that opinion ends up souring or sweetening. Until next time!

A Short Return

I am back home only because I have a dental appointment to go to, then I will return to camping. I have enough time to post again so that is a good thing. I don't have much to say except that I'm in the creative mood and my imagination is cranking out short stories, ideas, characters and all things under such categories right now. I am managing to survive my camping with the aid of my CD player, a swingset, and my beloved movies. For old times' sake I played Tomb Raider III yesterday. I felt like I was seven years old again when I was in my aunt's basement playing Tomb Raider I and II with my cousins. Funny how those memories seem far away...Well, I guess that's all I have to recall for now. Until my next post!

Last day of freedom for a while...

Well this will be my last post before I head out for camping. And since I am getting short on time I'll just put in a few things here. I added a hit counter to my blog. You can find it underneath the link banners I have added. And I am running short on time so you will hear more form me when I return!

5 days in Hell

Yes as the title hints, I will be spending five (count on your fingers 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5) days back at Snows Lake Campground! x_x And I will most likely not be able to have a friend come over during that time. Last time I at least had Paul to accompany me for two days out of eight, but it kept me from crying my eyes out of boredom. I have started to like it there a little bit more, but it is getting harder to entertain myself as I get older...I truly enjoy swinging and listening to my CD Player at the same time. (I love CD's and iPod's suck because they are some technologic piece of shit, don't get me started on 'em I hate them and refused to get one when I was asked if I wanted one when my brother got his) But It is getting hard to even do that up there because I will swing about 2 or 3 times a day and I sit for about 2 hours each time so I survive off AA batteries, CD's, and a swing set that sits way too low for me and makes all my toes on my right foot go numb. I have a burn on my arm from the chain rubbing against my skin from the back-and-forth rythm. I tried throwing the swing over the set one time so I could raise it a little, but I swing on it too long and it causes the chain to grind and after four days of multiple visits on the same swing, the chain finally snapped. I got another burn from the chain running along my arm when it snapped. That has to be the fifth time I have broken a swing (first in public though). The other four have happened at home on a 20+ year old swing set. That swing breaking must be telling me that I'm getting too old: Currently I'm a month away from 14 years old, I weigh 115 lbs, and I stand at 5 feet, and 2 and a half inches. I consider myslef short because I am the little person amongst all my friends and have lost all hope of getting taller. I see being short as a sign of inferiority of myself, the same thing goes for me being physically weak and not being able to play any sport in existence well enough to enjoy it. (I have been told that I am a pretty fast runner though, but I wouldn't last a day in track because all the track girls are bitches and joining track isn't worth the harassment) I think I have bashed myself enough for now....I don't want to get onto depressing topics such as what I have previously discussed, but I do not have much to say, because I am bored at the moment and I usually depress myself when I get bored because I cannot think of anything to do. Tomorrow I leave for the "Campground from Hell", but thankfully I have piano lessons before that so I have something to look forward to. I won't be able to post on here for a few days because there is no internet where I'm going but I'll be back to tell you how it went. And I am curious if anyone reads these ramblings, I'm beginning to wonder if I'm just typing to myself here. Please comment just to say you at least visited this blog, it would make me feel happy. Thanks!

I'm Still Alive!!!

This time I had an excuse for this absence! (for once) I was gone camping for about 10 days so I just got back. But sadly I will only be homw for about two days because we have doctor appointments and stuff and then we will return to camping. I am starting to like the Snows Lake Campground a bit more though. I used to hate it and then we got a seasonal lot (permanent one) and I am getting used to it. I wrote two more songs (lyrics only) while I was camping and left them up there by accident! At least I'm going back anyway. My birthday is coming up again and I plan to make it fun for me this year. My mom wants there to be a day for the family to celebrate it so I will do that, then afterward I will have a day where I invite Paul, Elizabeth, and Jessica and we will have cake and ice cream, hopefully go to the roller rink together, then hang out and have a sleepover type thingy after that. That is how I plan it but I can tell you right now my plans can never go through completely how I planned them. I also had an idea for the cake. I am still unsure of the frosting color but I want to decorate it with gummi bears and worms and write Paper Clip on it in the frosting. My room is still in progress as far as redoing it goes. I have a wall and a half stripped of wallpaper. I have more to go. I have the paint and all that good stuff, I just need the time for it. Well, thanks for reading!

Work in Progress

Well, now that you know about my band (that I still can't believe I failed to mention a long time ago), I will start posting about the updates as we make them. We are still working on our name and may decide it in a few days. We are short one or two guitars (bass excluded), I have written three songs (lyrics only), and we still need to get together and discuss how or leadership is going to be. If we decide to have a leader in our band or if we are all responsible as a group. Even if we do decide on a name though I will not release it on here for there are many skanky name thiefs ot there just waiting for something to..uh..theive/steal/take away/...whatever.... So that is my reason for not posting our band name when we decide on it. But I will give an update when we do decide on our name. Tomorrow is the Fourth of July, so incase I do not post then, I'll say it now. Happy Independence Day to all those who read my blog (probably 1-2 people...) and to those who don't!

Heh, heh....

There sure are a lot of time gaps between almost every one of my posts. I apologize to my blog for neglecting you. *pets blog* Well many things have happened: my school year is over so I'm on summer break now, I'll be going to Paul's house on the 7th to spend the night and celebrate his birthday the next day, I had spent the night at Paul's house three days in a row a few weeks back, and that's about all I can recall. I just realized that not once have I ever mentioned in my blog or journals that I see a shrink. Well I guess I never thought much of it but oh well... July is the last month I will be able to see my shrink, then after that I just have to hope that I am better. I believe I can make it. It's my last visit because she is moving to Ann Arbor and is going to work in a hospital over there. Well I did finally write one song (lyrics only) for the band I'm in(another thing I never mentioned...), but I dont think it is very good so I may trash it before I show it to the rest of the members. We haven't thought of a name yet, we keep debating over it. I'll tell you the lineup: Elizabeth is on drums, I'm on keyboard, Jessica is the lead vocalist, Paul is the bass guitar, and this is the funny part:we are a rock band and we don't have any guitar players (other than bass)! I always laugh at that. Well, I guess your hear more from me once I update again! (which will hopefully be sooner than I have been lately) Until next time! *waves*
