Unmet Expectations?

I am such a movie nerd. So naturally, I watched the Oscars as many teenagers did. Honestly, I expected more. There are so many beautifully made films in this world, yet all of the awards were focused on maybe 5 films?!? We are talking about an entire years worth of films here! It makes me wonder if things like these are corrupt. Like, did these 5 films pay to receive special attention? Imagine being a director or a producer, and you give your life into this film, only to be beaten by some movie that has won 5 other awards already. Sure, some deserved it, but I think that many other movies throughout the year could have at LEAST been nominated!! After hours of listening to "I'd like to thank *insert people we dont know's name here* sob sob thanks!!!", I got rather uninterested in the whole deal. But hurray for Alice In Wonderland for winning/being nominated!!!! Its the movie that I love dearly. I think I've seen it over 20 times.

A twist of Perspective

Here in Arizona, it NEVER rains. But tonight, the rain pours down at last. From my own observation: What tends to happen is that it will only ever rain at night and by morning, not a cloud in the sky. In the off chance that it rains during daylight hours, all Arizonians seem to be in such a great mood. Have you ever thought about that ONE thing that makes you happy and will never fail to bring a smile to your face even once? Well, everyone has that one thing and rain is mine. People think I'm crazy when I see rain and bolt outside in excitement (ah the poor non understanding non Arizonians...) . But everytime I feel that rain I cant help but flash a huge smile and laugh. I like to think that rain is a little reminder from God that everything will be okay. I know, I know. What is this? Theological concepts from a young blogger? I guess its just one of those things that teens ponder but never really   talk about out loud. In my theology class last year we had a guest priest.
QUESTION: Will my dog go to Heaven with me?
ANSWER: If you need your dog to be eternally happy, then yes.
I thought this was a beautiful, well thought out, non-cliche answer that made me think.
A rainy Heaven? We'll have to see!

Do Your Kids Accuse You Of Ruining Their Social Lives? | Parenting | GalTime

Check out this link! I feel so bad for my friends who are always in trouble for the stupidest things. Parents, we arent bad children and we arent your personal slaves so relax and dont be on our case all the time!! Today is one of those days where my mom turns her nose up and doesnt let me go out for no reason at all.

Mission Impossible 2 Accomplished!

Not really... But I felt that an allusion would make the title spicier. That word looks so odd. spicy-er. Do you ever reflect on a particular word? Like, this morning, I pondered the word "fact." The C-T next to each other are hardly enunciated and its difficult to say in a single syllable. Why did someone chose that word to represent the truth? And whose to say that a fact is a fact? I ponder words often? Weird, ya, I know, Not the point.


I accomplished a life goal today. Ride in a Mercedes e320. Its my dream car. On my bucket list is to ride in one, and it was soooo glamorous!!! I am such a car fanatic. Well, all teens have a subject that they know too much about I guess XD. Since I'm going to college soon, I've been thinking of my future a LOT. And that includes my bucket list! The things are mental, so I cant remember them all, but heres a few:
*Get a foreign romance
*Get a summer romance
*Move to Toronto
 *Ride in my dream car
*Graduate university
*Be in Time Square when the ball drops on New Years

 Was Aaron Carter the Justin Bieber of the 90s? I looooved Aaron when I was a little tot. So being a fan, I never noticed how feminine he was. People want Justin to vanish, but go on any anti-pop genre song on Youtube and in the last 10 comments, at least one comment will be on Justin Beiber! 


EXPERIMENT TIME! Ill go to my ipod. Not itunes, because i hate itunes and uninstalled it. First song to come up: Drops of Jupiter ~ Train. Justin Bieber comment? Certainly is! "I wanna know why Justin Bieber is brought up in anything. Seems like every video I watch there his name is when he dont have shit to do with anything."  This person was talking about the excessive amount of comments on him and frankly, I agree. He wont go away if you keep talking about him on every freaking Youtube video. I guess you either love him or you hate him. Controversy Controversy.


In other news.... I went on that date. Yes, It was a date. But I was so quiet!! Like, normally I'm very easily excited and chatty. But around him, I could only say 2 word sentences. Ugh. I bet he thinks I'm boring. Why cant I be myself? And why doesn't google chrome auto correct "cant" to "can't"?

Its a Date! ...I Think? Maybe. Eek!

I got a date! Well.... okay its just a guy who wants to "catch up" at a movie. But you dont talk in movies ya goof! Unless he talks through movies. Oh I hope he doesnt. I wonder what itll be like! If it goes well, he might ask me out. If he asks me out, Ill ask him to the Sadie Hawkins dance. Maybe he'll kiss me goodnight? Oh gosh. Look at silly old me. I jump to conclusions. What if it goes badly and he thinks im a freak? Would I say yes if he asked me out? He's kissed my cheek before... Im so nervous! Oh the racing thoughts.... EEK


My oh my, I sound like some geek that no one loves who got her first date ever. This is not the case my dears. But that fuzzy feeling when you get your first kiss, it doesnt go away! If you get a new boyfriend, you dont go "oh ive been kissed a hundred times before, its no big deal." NO! you go eek!

Guurl, You so Fake!

Dear Teenagers: STOP QUOTING FACEBOOK!!!!!!!! I hear soooo many people trying to pass on a "like" as their own stories. example:
I like turtles because they're so chill. They don't hurt anyone. They're just like, "Hey man, I want to swim, and maybe eat some lettuce. But I'm gonna take my time getting there, I'm not in a rush. Because I'm a turtle."
Then on the bus the day after everyone went on a liking spree of this, a guy goes "wow, you've never held a millipede before? They're so chill. They just squirm around all slow and look around and be like Yo im a millipede"
another example because this rant is rantish enough for 2 examples:
"When I get pulled over, I tell the cops 'when you tazor someone, you should say pika CHUUU!!!'"
then you hear a person at school go "I was just pulled over and told a cop he should yell pikachu when he tazors someone."
REALLY?! You OBVIOUSLY would never say that and you probably dont even have a car. 
WAY TO BE ORIGINAL!
Rant-over.
