Song About An Angel

"I haven't forgot any words that you said, I just stare at the clocks and I cry in my sleep. I tear up your letters and I burn them in heaps, and I gather the ashes in that hole in the ground where we fell."

I'm finally back. I know that it's been a long time since I last posted, but since school has started I haven't been able to do much besides homework and sleep. But, since the last time I posted a ton of stuff has happened.

Thursday the orchestra went on a "field trip" to a concert hall to hear Midori play. If you don't know who she is, you have to look her up on YouTube, she is an amazing violinist. It was all just astonishing. Before we went there we went to the Log Cabin Village, where you basically learn about how people lived in the 1700s and 1800s. It would have been excrutiatingly boring if I had not been with the group I was with. :) The only bad part was that I was sick, and still am.

The last Sunday in August the orchestra had a fundraiser to a gaming place, and that was fun. I don't really remember anything "blog worthy" from it though except for an awkward horse-racing game. It did bring back some memories of when we went to that gaming place in San Antonio in April. :)

"Promise me that you'll never drive. Ever. And I mean it." (;

Also went to the first football game of the year on the 12th. I really need to start bringing my camera everywhere I go.

"It's a beautiful day; the sky falls and you feel like it's a beautiful day. Don’t let it get away."

I tried to make this week a pretty good week, since the first three weeks of school have been nearly awful. And I guess it was okay, except for the whole getting sick part. Which was not my fault. :P I didn't realize how hard it was to be an optimist. But it felt good to not lie when someone asks if I'm okay. I can finally say fine and mean it.

In a few hours I'm going dress shopping with two friends for homecoming. They're making me go, so we'll see how that goes. Tomorrow I'm going to help work on the orchestra float for homecoming parade since they need all the help they can get. My grandparents are also in town, so that should be, fun?

So that's it for now. Adiós.

Everything's Not Lost

I haven't really posted often, and I know that I broke my promise that I would post again a few weeks ago. Oops. :)

I guess this post is just to say that yes, I am still alive, and no, I didn't vanish in thin air. It's been what, at least 15 days since I last posted? I've been an awful blogger this summer, I know.

I did go shopping last week, found some very nice clothes for school. Which only starts in 3 days! Believe it or not I'm pretty excited about it, I can't wait to be back in school, and to be back in orchestra. And to be able to post more often, that would be nice too. :)

The 'Back to School Orchestra Party' was last week, I got to see some of my friends that I haven't seen since school, and those that I haven't seen in a year since they're a grade lower. It was a ton of fun, as those usually are.

Last Tuesday (or two Tuesdays ago?? I don't know, I've lost count.) I did have to go back to school for pictures and my schedule. Most of my friends aren't in any of my classes, there are still some I haven't talked to since school, so there is some hope left there.

"Today, I realized that if FML and MLIA were to battle, we would have excellent barriers because more than half of the MLIA-ers are professional fort builders. MLIA"

I have found my new favorite websites, MyLifeIsG and MyLifeIsAverage. Both have kept me up nearly all night trying to get through all of the pages. :)

"Today, my sister had her boyfriend over so I was stuck in my room. My best friend decided to sneak over, James Bond style, to hang out with me. We've been going on random raids through the house to get food and such. Each raid consists of diving summersaults, finger guns for protection, and of course the James Bond Theme song (in our heads). It's been three hours and they still have no clue. This is the most fun I've ever had. MLIA."

Yep, that's it. I'll try to post again, it's weird that I've only posted twice in August.

True Love Waits

"Think about the good and never the bad. What would I do if I did not have you?" I Might Be Wrong [Radiohead].

There's not much going on again. I know I needed to post, and I promised I would post every two days. And how long has it been? Awhile, I know, but there's not much to say. So this will probably mainly be quotes. :)

"I want you to know he's not coming back. Look into my eyes, I'm not coming back." Knives Out [Radiohead].

Next Tuesday I have to go back to school to get my class schedule and take school pictures. I can't believe that it's already August and school starts in less than a month, it's unbelievable. It seems like school ended not too long ago, that I walked to Chik-fil-A with some friends on the last day of school only a few weeks ago, not months.

"This is my way of saying goodbye, because I can't do it face to face. I'm talking to you after it's too late." Videotape [Radiohead].

I was watching America's Got Talent earlier and I know who I want to win, Kevin Skinner. He sings with such emotion, both his guitar playing and voice is just beautiful. YouTube wouldn't let me embed the video, so here's the link: [Click] He's very, very good, and I don't like country music, at all. But I would have to say I would put him on my iPod. :) It seems like every year I always want musicians to win, I don't know why. :)

"Give me an answer, give me a light. I've been climbing up this ladder, I've been wasting my time." Up On the Ladder [Radiohead].

I went to the shops with my best friend today, and we talked about how in her past relationships the guys always said I Love You after only a few days. We started talking about how that's not really love, how could it be? You can't know a person in only a few days, and you can't love a person based on looks. It just irritates me how fast some people fall in love, those people usually get hurt badly in the end.

We also went shopping, that was fun. I just need some new jeans now, then I'll be good for the next year. :)

"So I made a promise to myself: to say each day how much he means to me, and avoid that circumstance where there's no second chance to tell him how I feel. So tell that someone that you love just what you're thinking of. If tomorrow never comes."

Yeah, that's about it. I'll try to post again this week, promise. :P
