BehindBluEyes408's Journal

Okay guys, I know if seems like I make up a ton of excuses about why I can't update.
Well, sorry but here's the latest one:
I've got so much to do!
I have Marching Band three times a week (sometimes more) for three hours after school.
I have a job.
I'm in an AP class.
I'm in Spanish IV.
And I have so much to do that my time is getting taken away from me.
I want to write so much, but when I get the chance to, I'm so tired or I have something else to do.
And I know you guys'll be mad at me, I'm mad at me.
So I'm sorry.
Hope you guys can forgive me.
I'll try and update as much as I can, but it won't be that often.
I'm SO sorry!

Hey guys!

Sorry for not updating this week.
I had Color Guard Pre-Camp (9-9. 12 hours a day! yay!)
And On Sunday I leave for Band Camp so I won't be writing anything for a little bit.
I'm sorry guys, I've just gotten super busy!


Madi

Okay guys, I've said it multiple times:

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO WORK THE NEW QUIZILLA PICTURES

That being said, I need to tell you guys that once my current story is done, I'm not going to be able to post a new story until I know how to work it.

If you could please message me or something, and tell me how to work this new picture thing (that sucks majorly, html codes were so much easier!) then I would be very grateful and happy that I could continue to post stories.

But if that's not done, I don't think I'm going to be able to write you guys more stories.

So please help me.

I fixed my story, which took FOREVER! Gah! It's kind of out of order, But I don't really care.

Well, since I can't seem to bet Quizilla to work for me, I'm sorry to say that about ten chapters of Keep Holding On will not be up compleatly for a long time. It seems that it won't let me publush anything, and I'm having major issues figuring this out. Yes I said a 'bad word' le gasp. Get over it. This is getting me really mad because I wanted to have the story up and better for you guys, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. I'll try again some time later, but it won't be pretty. Sorry guys.

Okay guys, usually I update my new stories today, but I'm not going to because I don't have all of my creations up yet. Once they come up, then I will update. I'm so sorry for the wait, I really wanted to update for you guys, but I don't want to do that until I have all of my creations up. I hope you're not mad at me, I'm just trying to get used to this.

So we went to Worlds...YAY us. Okay, Yes I am a freak.

So we were watching this show and it was called something along the lines of "The Native American's Journey"

After they were done, I looked over at Sammy (our Captain) and said:

"Isn't it kind of contradictory that they are using rifles and sabers when those are the things that kind of drove them out in the first place?"

It may seem mean or whatever, but I'm still kind of confused.

Another show was called "The Nurses Diaries" or something like that.

At one point the music had a voice over and it said something like: He turned his head away from me and died."

Me, being me, looked over at Sammy and said:

"Well, that's not morbid at all."

I am such a nice person...

That was sarcasm if you didn't get it.

Seriously, Music IS my boyfriend.

So if you know me at all, you know I'm a little music crazy.

Fine, REALLY music crazy.

If you know me really well then you know that when I get a new song I listen to it on repeat for a few days.

Yeah, I got a new song last night (WOOT! WOOT!)

Since I got it last night, I have listened to it 93 - wait, now it's 94! times.

SO whenever my parents come into my room and I'm blasting my music like the crazy person that I am, I simply reply to their odd look with:

I HAVE A PROBLEM, OKAY?!?

I personally LOVE my 'little problem'.

And my friends have just gotten used to it.

That's pretty much all I have to say...

Wait, make the song count 95.

So we had to perform for the little 8th grade bandies yesterday.

(I spent 15 hours at my school....wooo.)

My plan of action was to scare the little bandies with a lot of Guard makeup.

Only problem was that I left all my Guard makeup in my car.

I was WAY too lazy to go get it.

I told Mama this, and she gave me a weird look.

She gave me an even weirder look when I said:

"I guess it's okay that the bandies don't get to see me with all that makeup, now they get to see a Madi in her natural habitat!"

I never said I was normal.

Good times.

Title courtesy of my best friend Leah.

You all probably think I'm insane right now, reading the title thing and all.

But at least let me explain myself!

Leah and I have this inside joke, where we saw this picture of a baboon (Leah says it’s a monkey) on the computer.

So at lunch today, we basically went back to elementary school with the whole:

Nuh uh! and Yeah huh!

All because of a baboon (NOT A MONKEY!)

Then we got into this fake fight thing…just read the conversation.

Me: Don't make me set my flying baboons on you!

Leah: How are they flying?

Me: I gave them Red Bull and it gave them wings!

Yes we were hyped on sugar.

No, we are not normal.

And yes, we are loving it!

Wow.

That one single word seems to sum up my day.

Wow.

Out Winter Color Guard is brand new, and this is the first year that we've been out.

Two weekends ago we placed 2nd and 3rd.

Today, we got 1st place.

I seriously pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

I seriously went into a state of shock.

I had so many emotions running through my body, that my body just kinda stopped.

I sort of became emotionless.

I was: excited, stunned, happy, and so much more.

But I snapped out of it and became so excited that I couldn't sit still.

Which is normal for me I guess…

I had a very interesting day.

My best friend, Leah, gave me some cookies for Valentines Day.

(She went a little sprinkle happy…)

And I had a conversation with a cookie.

Okay, it was more of an argument.

Fine, it was a debate.

I had posters and note cards and talked A LOT.

The cookie didn't say much.

I lost.

To a cookie.

This makes me feel pathetic.

It's times like these that I think I need a life.

At our first ever Color Guard competition, some interesting things happened.

1.) Momma got a pin that said: Who are all these kids and why do they keep calling me Mom?

2.) I got my Mommy a pin that said: Guard Moms Gone Wild!

Don't give me that look!

All the other Guard Moms got one!

Moving on...

3.) I saw this pin that said: Guard Keeps My Child Off Of the Street

Raise your hand if that applies to you!

*Raises hand like an idiot*

So our school has a newspaper that they put out every few weeks.

Today, I decided to check it out, just because I was bored out of my mind in study hall.

I open it up and start reading, and when I got to a certain section, I got a little….

Mad.

They insulted Fall Out Boy's lyrics.

But that's not all.

They also called Pete Wentz really nasty names.

But wait, there's more!

They insulted the emo hair.

Not to mention they made fun of Death Cab For Cutie.

I jumped up from my seat and yelled:

"THIS IS A PREP-OCRACY!"

I may be being dramatic about it, but that's just the way I roll.

This just got me extremely mad, they have no right to criticize music that they don't understand just because they have no life.

That was my rant for the day.

Stupid Prep-Ocracy.

Hey guys, I'm now at Mibba, but here too. I'll stay here unless I can't figure out how to work the new quizilla. So add me!

I just thought I'd post a few funny things that have happened to me lately.

So for Christmas I got an electric guitar and an amp.

My Mom: Dear God, who gave that child an amp? (After hearing me attempt to play)

Me: You did…

So at Guard we were working on our performance.

Sammy: This song is fierce. Think that you are woman and you can kill a squirrel with a rock.

Jen: (Starts dancing around)

Me: Anger Jen! Not Cage Dancer!

Later we were working on our second song which is all graceful and pretty.

Jen: (Starts dancing again)

Me: Okay, we went from Cage Dancer to ballerina in a Cage…

Later Sammy was telling us how we needed to act during the second song.

Sammy: You need to be pretty and graceful.

Me: Great! I'm screwed! I'm neither of those!

I had Guard yesterday at 9:00 o'clock.

I was half asleep, so the logical thing was to drink some coffee to wake me up right?

And the second cup just made me wake up a little more, right?

The giggling and bouncing around had nothing to do with the coffee.

Yeah right.

Being the weird person that I am, I decided to have some coffee from Starbucks before I went to bed.

All I can say is that I think I scared the living crap out of Leah with my hyper-talk.

What has this taught me you ask?

Coffee + ADHD Person = BAD

Very Bad.

During Winter Break, I let my normal teen sleeping habits take over.

My sleeping habits during this time are as shown:

Go to bed: 3:30 am

Wake up: 12:00 pm

As you can see I am going to be so screwed when school starts again.

Crap.

And school starts back up on Monday.

Double Crap.

Is it just me, or are there a lot of people out there who are like:

If I don't get (insert number here) messages for every chapter, I'm not updating!

Personally, I think that's kind of stupid.

I understand that feedback is vital, but you should be writing because you like it, and not because you're trying to be on the Popular list or something.

I'm not saying that I've never done it, because I don't like to lie. I've just come accept that not everyone is going to rate and message me, and I'm okay with that.

I write because I like to, not to get a whole bunch of messages.

Don't get me wrong, messages and rates are nice, but it's not what I live for.

Those people who post journals complaining about the lack of responses to their writing, I have one thing to say:

Get over it.

I know I have a few dedicated readers and that's all I need.

Welcome to the real world everyone, not everyone is going to give you feedback. It's the way of life and you need to get used to it.

It may not seem fair, but it's life.

Deal with it.

It may sound mean, but once you accept this fact, you'll feel better because you'll be writing for YOU and no one else.

You don't have to take my advice, but it might help.

Flame me all you want, but deep down you know I'm right.

I rarely get messages, but you don't see me complaining do you?

I write for me.

And me alone.

I know for a fact that some of you who read this are going to flame me and crap like that, but it's completely childish, and I know it won't stop some of you.

Go for it.

This may have sounded mean, but I'm getting annoyed with people complaining, a lot of people don't receive feedback, but you don't see them whining.

Seriously, Welcome To the Real World.

Is it just me, or are there like 10 new '7 minutes in heaven with (insert cartoon character here) on the top rated quizzes page?

Seriously, did I miss a memo or something?

I check the top rated stuff every now and then, and it's completely dominated by these quizzes.

I honestly could care less about these quizzes (no offence) and I would rather be shown some interesting quizzes, not a million of the same damn quiz.

It's getting kind of annoying.

But maybe I'm weird.

I'm still really confused.

Raise your hand if you're confused.

*Raises hand*
