I'm Alive

Yes, I still exist. Oh my, where do I start... Well, first, I really want to change the title of this blog. What was I, 13, 14 when I came up with that? Ugh, it's so childish. :p
Moving on.
It has been so very long since I posted on here. I think I'm going to reboot it. Either that or delete it and make a new one. I need a place where I can post my adventures (you know, those times whenever I go... outside. *high pitched horror scream*).
It's almost summer, so I may use it to post vlogs on here or your typical summery stuff.
Yeah, well, I'm going to go delete this. NEVER FEAR. I shall be back with a new blog. :D Now, wait, I'm gonna keep it and just make a new one. *sigh* I'm too sentimental for my own good.

Glasses

So at the end of December, I got glasses!
I am near sighted (which means i can't see things far away). Yeah, it was pretty bad. I couldn't read the football scores on the TV! I guess that's not as bad as seriously not being able to read a word of the menu at Chic-fil-a.
I can't upload a pic of my glasses cause I don't have any recent pics of them.
How bad is your vision, if you need glasses? I've got 20/80 20/100 vision (20/100 because i have a stigmatism in my right eye)

Not Much Longer...

Hey guys.

I'm not going to be around for much longer, but I just wanted to update.

I have my old job back, I'm saving up for Drama Camp again this summer, currently looking for an audition piece (if you have any ideas for that, then post below), and I have 9 more weeks of school. I'm taking a break this week, just because I felt my brain would explode if I crammed anymore info in it.

I'm turning 16 in the summer, which means I have had this blog for a couple of years now.

Now randomness!

Book I'm reading for school right now-

Cry, The Beloved Country

Favorite song-

Just a Friend by Jamie Grace

Favorite genre-

Country

Eye color-

Grey/light blue

Favorite verse-

"Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life."

Unfortunately...

... I'm gonna lose my blog. I'm changing my email, so in the process I'm gonna lose this blog. :/ Sorry. I have to change it for specific reasons. Maybe I'll get a Tumblr... Idk. I NEED A BLOG OF SOME SORTS. I actually was thinking of posting my drawings on here, but guess I can't. :p So, I may post a few times on here before this blog goes bye bye. So cherish all my posts while you can. *fake sobs*

Peace. ;p

I'M ALIVE

Hey, guys! I'm back. Yes, I know I have like disappeared off the face of the planet for the last half of this year. I will create a HUGE LONG POST when I have time. I've just been super busy with school and rehearsals and WORK. Yes, I got a job. Shocked? I'm a sophomore in high-school now, and I auditioned for A Christmas Carol in September. The play is going to be in December. (duh) I will atleast change my blog theme or ya'll since I have to get back to school in a few minutes. I have to read The Pardoner's Tale today from the Canterbury Tales. So, Thanksgiving Break is in a few weeks and I'm SO excited. I haven't taken a break in about 7 weeks, and that's the only break I've gotten thus far. I'm 13 weeks into the school year, which means 23 weeks of school left (if my math is correct). Yes, I keep count.

So, I'm going to go change my blog theme now. ;p

Blimeycow Photo-a-Day 2013

Alright, last year I did a photo-a-day challenge for June, and this year Blimeycow has started it up again for July! It's gonna be really fun cause they have a list of weird stuff you have to take pictures of. Like one of them is "your family". Can't get much weirder than that. ; ) JK JK JK I will be posting the pictures on my blog when I find the time.

EXCITED!!!

Camp week is almost here, and from the title you can tell I'm super excited! XD I've been waiting all year and all last year to go again, and now there's only 13 days till I get to go! Shout out to all my friends who are going this year. ; ) I am/was going to do the Annabeth Chase interview in the Demigod Files, but (once again) I've found something else I could possibly do, and as you know I have under 2 weeks to decide and get it memorized, so yeah... Craziness. I've almost got all the money I need though, which is $7 more dollars to go, so atleast I don't really have to worry about that anymore. Alright, comment below what you'll be up to this summer and if you have like a list of stuff you especially want to get done (like i do) you can also post that.

My Birthday : D

So this post will about all that happened on my birthday a couple of Sundays ago. I am 15 years old now, and happy to be so.

This is the big balloon bouquet my grandma made me. It went on the chandelier in our dining room over the table. She also made some paper flowers to go in it along with some purple feathers.

This is what the table looked like at an angle. It was gorgeous! I was so in love with the colors, because these are basically my favorite.

Here's the table at another angle... As you can see my brother added to the decor and placed his Bionicle at the bottom of the screen.

Now onto the food... Yum! My grandma made some blue punch to go with the color theme. It had pineapple juice, Sprite, vanilla ice cream, and blue Kool-Aid.

This is my nana and me taking a picture. (Cat, I'm wearing the shirt you got me!!!)

My cake, really wasn't that much of a cake. I'm honestly not a huge fan of birthday cake, I mean, I'll eat it if it's there, but I love ice cream much better. My mom made some really good brownies, and that's what my candles are on. We crumbled the brownies and put them on top of the ice cream. So instead of cake, I had an ice cream bar where we could pick out what ice cream we wanted.

Don't I look lovely. : / I'm eating vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips and probably some chocolate syrup and sprinkles. *cranes neck to try to see what's on my ice cream in the photo* Also, I had blood orange sorbet. SO GOOD.

Alright, story behind that hat... I had already bought it at Target, and I lost it. I figured one of my little sisters had carried it off somewhere never to be seen again. Sad I know. Well, I open up the first present from my parents, and there's my hat! I looked at my dad and asked if he bought another one, and he said that he found it when he was looking for a gift bag, so he just added it. Lol

This is my baby sister with the Nemo plushy my other sister got me. Look at her... She wanted to take it so bad, it was hilarious!

My OTHER little sister made me some stuff from... Toilet paper rolls... LOL That sounds so wrong. Exhibit A is binoculars, then Exhibit B (not shown) is a rocket ship.

I look like a jazz hippy in this picture. Hahaha! That blue thing is a suitcase my grandparents got me, and it is sooo cute! It's also got a chain on it with an "H" attached, standing for my name "Hope". My presents were inside it.

So this is getting long, so I will just name everything I got.

1. Demigod Diaries

2. Team Leo shirt

3. iTunes gift card

4. Binoculars and a rocket ship

5. Nemo plushy

6. Panasonic headphones

7. My hat lol

8. American Eagle gift card

9. Sketchbook

10. Colored pencils

11. A Suitcase

12. A striped, navy blue dress

13. A black tank top

14. Lip gloss pack

15. A huge ULTA make up kit

Best Friends Forever!!!

My BFF came to visit earlier in May, and we had sooo much fun together! I hadn't seen her in 3 years, but that changed on May 7'th 2013. Here are some pics from her visit! :-D

So, first thing we do when she steps in my room is whip out our cameras and take pics of each other. She has the other photo, kinda like a friendship bracelet.

                                My bestie and I together! Look how much we've grown!

So, we went to the park together, and while we were on the track we found this place with equipment that everyone decides is the coolest thing (and it was like so fun to play with!), so we start playing on the stuff. It's just plain exercise stuff, and the moms hadn't come yet. I turn around after I take this picture and I see, well, just scroll down...

                                   Yep, no children allowed without grown ups. LOL

This is the frozen yogurt I got after the park. It might look gross to some of you, but it's actually a delicious combination of: Orange dreamsicle, pink lemonade, tropical flavors, and sour gummies. It was probably some of the most sweet and sour stuff I've ever tasted. I LOVE SOUR CANDY!!!

So, I try to take a selfie in the frozen yogurt shop, and in the process of taking it, my friend's little brother took it upon himself to jazz up my pic. We had a good laugh over this one. ;-)

So I have no other pics from their visit... I know, fail. Well, I hope you enjoy these pics!

Guess What?

I saw the Hobbit! It was awesome! You guys should totally see it if you get the chance. Yeah, it's a little scary, but you can always skip those parts or have your mom stand in front of the screen (hi mom). Lol

Temperments

Okay, so I have been thinking about the different personalities of people, and I have discovered that I'm Sanguine/Melancholy. I read the description for those types of people, and I've laughed at how similar it os to me. Plus they do best in careers where they can talk, such as singing, politics, ACTING. ;-) What's your temperament?

Blessed

I am so blessed this weekend cause I got alot of money that I needed really bad. I am now so close to getting to my goal of $185 for Drama Camp. Plus it's only March!!! I'm so happy, but even though I still have a ways to go, God's going to provide. :-D

Me Lately...

I've come to the conclusion that everyone is two-faced and a hypocrite. I don't mean to offend, but it' just true. Everyone has a secret or dark side that no one knows about, and you feel like your life is a prison from which you can't escape no matter what advice you take or person you confide in, you can't shake it! It's our problem and we have to fix it. I don't even know what I'm trying to say anymore... Here, I speak better through song so, here is what i'm trying to say:

Things aren't always what they seem, you're only seeing part of me.

There's so much more than you could know

Behind the scenes

I'm incomplete and I'm undone, but I suppose like everyone.

There's so much more that's going on

Behind the scenes...

-Behind the Scenes by Francesca Battistelli

A truth we have to see, I have to see, is that, no matter what we've done, God doesn't hold it over our heads, especially when we are hurting. He doesn't leave us and He cares about us, even when we slip up and act out of line. He forgives and He wants to change us, but sometimes it's hard to let Him in and let Him win because we get afraid to trust thinking yet another person will hurt us or let us down. It's hard to love and trust when that happens...

Maybe tomorrow I'll start over

Maybe tomorrow I will finally change my ways

Said the same thing yesterday, don't know why I'm so afraid

To let You in, to let You win, to let you have all of me...

-Waiting for Tomorrow by Mandisa

Oh no, my walls are gonna break
So close, it's more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love just...
Isn't safe...

-Safe by Britt Nicole

You need to remember this though, and so do I:

Don't you know who you are?
What has been done for you?
Don't you know who you are?
You are more than the choices that you've made
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes
You are more than the problems you created
You've been remade...

-You Are More by Tenth Avenue North

Maybe I Will...

...Post some new ideas I have had for this blog on here!

1. Video renditions I'll do from movies or books I've read so I can practice for drama camp.

2. Record covers from songs! This one makes me nervous, but I'll try it! (maybe)

3. "The Other Side of Me". I could post random stuff about myself that some people may not have even guessed was true. :-D

So tell me, which idea do you like better. I could do just one of them, or all of them if you want! I'm excited for your input!

Hi Guys

Hey, sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I've just busy with a thing called "LIFE". I love my new background, cause honestly, this is what north Florida looks like right now: R.A.I.N.Y. It's March now, and it's almost Spring. Oh my, sister 3# is complaining about Land Before Time and how it says "million of years ago". I quote from her, "it's so dumb!" Lol, cute. So what have you guys been up to? My best friend Cat Shipman is coming to see me in May! I'm so excited to see her, it's been 3 years!!!

Happy New Year!

Hey guys! I know it's taken me awhile to get this post up, I've been busy. (school mainly)! So, I was just curious, what're your resolutions for this year? I'll post mine if you post yours. ;-)
