SURVEYS!

So I just did a note/survey thing on Facebook that someone sent me. It was pretty entertaining and killed some time so I'm happy.

I'm serisouly considering making a YouTube video tonight, or at least going on TwitCam for a little while :)

Peace,
Amanda

Just Pretty Freaking Bored

I never run out of things to do on a Friday night, but of course tonight I don't have anything to do. I'm just on Facebook playing games and on Twitter tweeting to people, but I'm still so freaking bored. I was trying to write on my Live Journal account, but that went down for maintenance...I went on Tumblr for a little while until that got boring. So I've resorted to sitting on YouTube and watching videos of Tabby and Boxxy....yes my life.

So I was thinking of making a YouTube video later. It probably would not be that interesting, but I'm really REALLY freaking bored. Mom doesn't want me to post videos to YouTube, so I'd have to do it when she is in bed. Yeah, I might be posting some random shit on here to quell my boredom :P

Peace,
Amanda

I miss the way you used to hug me, I miss the way you used to kiss my lips, but most of all I miss the way you held me and my heart. I miss you...

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

You think you're not pretty, someone is wishing to be as pretty as you. You want more money, people are in poverty. You want a boyfriend, someone doesn't even have parents. You're hungry, a child is starving. You want to go to the mall, someone is looking for anything to wear just to stay warm. You're chilly, others are frozen. You just want to die, most people are striving to live. So don't waste your time on things that you think you don't have, because there is always someone out there who needs what you have.

Laugh when you can,
apologize when you should,
and let go of what you can't change.

Kiss slowly,
play hard,
forgive quickly,
take chances,
give everything
and have no regrets.

Life's too short to be anything but happy.

You are who you are. Don't ever try to be what someone else wants you to be. Don't suck your stomach in because you want to be skinny. Don't do 1000 leg lifts a day to get the perfect ass. Don't stop eating because someone said you have a double chin. Don't wear 100lbs of makeup because someone said it looked good. Don't go to the tanning bed every day because every hot girl on TV has golden tan skin. Don't dye your hair blonde because blondes have more fun. Don't wear a push up bra because your boobs are too small. Don't squeeze into size 0 pants because it isn't cool to be a 1. Don't get your belly button pierced because that girl next to you in math class was showing her's off last week and all the guys started asking her out. IF YOU LOVE YOURSELF, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. You do NOT need to have protruding hip bones, sharp facial structor, big lips, tan skin, a flat stomach, and lifted boobs to be beautiful. Just be yourself. I know that sounds so cliche, but just do it. Tell anyone who doesn't like it to go suck a fuck, and tell yourself you can be whatever you want because it's your skin and you're beautiful as long as you think you are.

What are friends?
Friends are people that you think are your friends.
But they really your enemies, with secret identities.
And diguises, to hide their true colors.
So just when you think you're close enough to be brothers.
They wanna come back and cut your throat when you ain't lookin.

- Eminem (If I Had)

What is life?
Life is like a big obstacle.
Put in front of your optical to slow you down.
And everytime you think you gotten past it.
It's gonna come back around and tackle you to the damn ground.

- Eminem (If I Had)

I am me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it — I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects I do not know — but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully looks for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I have discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me.

- Virginia Satir

Don't miss out on what's happening now because you are waiting for something better to come along. You can't live for the future, just like you can't line in the past.

Another Funny Disney Memory

So whenever I think of insanely good memories from my Disney trip with my family and my BFFL Beth, I'm gonna post them! So this happened in Epcot one night when my family, Beth, and I were going to the bridge that is almost at the entrance to the park to watch the fireworks. Well, we came from France and we saw these two guys who were dancing hysterically in the street. Apparently, they were doing the "Dougie" dance? Haha so anyway, I almost bumped into one of them. One of the guys said "you almost bumped into that person" and the other guy says "it's alright, she knows how to dougie". Haha no I really don't. So they kept walking and dancing in front of us. It was the most hilarious thing ever! :D

A Hysterical Vacaton Memory

Haha my BFFL Beth and I both got a kick out of this one. We were on a vacation to Disney, but first, we stopped at Universal Studios to have lunch at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville. So we ate lunch and on out way out, there were these people with parrots. You could have one of these parrots put on your shoulders. So Beth and I both had a parrot put on our shoulders. Later at the hotel we were staying at, I commented on how the person who put the parrot on our shoulders looked a lot like Justin Bieber. Then, Mom walks into the room and informs us that the person was a girl (side note: the person had really short hair and it looked like Justin Bieber's hair). I was like "oh" and it got wicked awkward and silent. Then me and Beth both started cracking up laughing.

When you're a beautiful person on the inside, there is nothing in the world that can change that about you. Jealousy is the result of one's lack of self-confidence, self-worth, and self-acceptance. The Lesson: If you can't accept yourself, then certainly no one else will.

Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident, and more and more successful.

"Fuck no! I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There's no in between. People will either love you or hate you for it. That's what I've found just on a street with fans, and people on the street. They either can't stand me or love me from telling the truth and saying what's on my mind."

- Eminem

I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. and i don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines, and sing out loud in the car with the windows open, and wear pink shoes, and stay up all night laughing, and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets, and throw parties, and eat ripe tomatoes, and read books so good they make me jump up and down.

"I used to say I've never met someone like you before. I still ain't got a fuckin' clue as to who you really are."

- Eminem

"The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed."

- Eminem

Music is what I turn to when I'm feeling a certain way. It's my reason for everything.

Do what makes you happy,
Be with who makes you smile,
Laugh as much as you breathe,
and love as long as you live.

Boys will break your heart, friends will betray you, parents will seem too strict, and life might annoy you, but you should always remember that there's a purpose for these things to happen to us.. So keep your head up and your spirits high.. Because if you don't... Life will just pass you by..

I wanna be the girl he's scared to lose. The one where he can't walk away from knowing she's mad at him. The one who can't fall asleep without her voice being the last one he hears, the one he can't live without.

Music does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: we are the same.

I love you #teamshady and all the Glamberts ♥

It's not exactly a screenshot of my desktop because I don't feel like editing out the icons. This is the picture I use for my desktop. I took this from Adam Lambert's Whataya Want From Me video on YouTube (that's why that stupid white ad thing is there). You can't see that on my actual desktop though, which is good :D

DAY 20

A picture that makes you smile.

This was at the Kiss108 Concert 2010. I went with my mom. This is the first time I saw Adam Lambert and I loved it. I wish I could go to the GlamNation Tour 2010, but sadly, I'll be on vacation when Adam comes.

I'm a little bit sicker than...MOST

- Eminem ♥

"Music is one of the best ways to enjoy the present. It's not much fun to look foward to hearing music or to remember what a song sounded like last week, but music right now absorbs you and places you in the present moment."

- Sonnett Branche

We all mess up. We all fall down. The most important thing is deciding whether to get right back up again and try harder or not.

"When one door closes, another opens. But we often look so regretfully upon the closed door that we don't see the one that has opened for us."

- Alexander Graham Bell

- Marie Beyon Ray

"I have no regrets. I wouldn't have lived my life the way I did if I was going to worry about what people were going to say."

"Imagine a new story for your life and start living it"

"The biggest example I want to set for people is to dare to be different. Don't be afraid to be yourself just because you're not like everybody else in class. If you want to dye your hair green and that's what makes you happy, then dye your hair green — no matter what other people might say about it. Not everybody is going to like you — that's the world we live in; that's reality. So when you're 50 years old and you looked back on your life, you want to know that you lived it for you and not for other people."

-Rhianna

Never let yesterday's disappointments ruin tomorrow's dreams.

DAY 7 - a picture of you and your closest friend

Me and my best friend Beth before the all-nighter we went on.

"Whenever I look around, I always learn one thing. And that thing is: always be yourself. Express yourself. Have faith in yourself. Do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate him."
- Bruce Lee

"I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing."
- Dame Agatha Christie

Accept everything about yourself—I mean everything, you are you and that is the beginning and the end—no apologies, no regrets.

More Adventures...July 5, 2010

The day after July 4th can sometimes be funner than the actual fourth of July. In this case, it was. I had slept over my cousins' house which I don't get to do very often, so when I do sleep over, we have lots of memories.

It first started with breakfast. Chocolate chip pancakes. They were sooooo good! Then we went downstairs only to find one of my cousins, Joey, playing COD and me and my younger cousin, Jason, had to watch. It was so boring. So Jason decides to try to be all gangster which was absolutely hilarious! Now this consists of him singing 3 am by Eminem which he totally messed up. Haha I really don't think you can put a key in the floor?

My other cousin, Jaclyn, and her friend, Nicole, got up, so me, Joey, and Jason went upstairs to have more breakfast. I had more delicious chocolate chip pancakes. Then, we played apples to apples for a little while. I didn't win, but I did supply the music :D.

After, we went downstairs and TRIED to play Wii. I say "tried" because Jason broke the Wii, so now it overheats randomly. We played Super Smash Brothers. Evidently, we all like giving names to our characters instead of "player one", "player 2", etc, so I decided to name my person "Shady". Haha Jason decides to be funny and name his character "Slim". Haha and we were on the same team, so together we were "Slim Shady" :P. Unfortunately, that didn't stay because we all usually re-name our characters after each round, or when we get tired of the name. We played for a while. Then one fight, I was winning by a lot and the fight almost ended, but the Wii had to shut off. It was depressing. So we took a break and then we played Mario Kart. We actually got to play a lot before the Wii shut off again. Haha my team won all of the races anyways :P.

Then, I had to leave my cousins' house to get ready for the movies. My family, my bffl Beth, and I went to see Toy Story 3. I thought it was good; my parents loved it. Before, we had dinner and everyone was picking on me because I ordered an appetizer with my meal. I didn't know that was abnormal? I was really hungry yesterday and I don't know why.

So that was my day. It was really awesome probably because I never really get to do anything because both my parents are always at work :/. I wish more of my days were like this.

Some adventures....July 4, 2010

So...there were so many good times between July 4th and 5th that I have to split them up into two separate posts. :P
Let's start with July 4th. The fourth of July consisted of out-of-control fires, sparklers, and A LOT of Eminem rapping. The epic party started off with a rap battle between me and one of my younger cousins, Jason. Haha, he challenged me, but I actually won. It was great. :D

More people came including some of my older cousin's, Joey's, friends. Haha, they were guys and I'm convinced they didn't like me. Jason actually told me they made fun of me behind my back....way to say it to my face! :P Apparently they called me crazy which is what all of my friends say. My cousins didn't have a problem with it, so whatever.

Then, we ate dinner and talked and played whiffle ball and more people came and blah blah blah....

Later, my cousins had the brilliant idea to go for a walk in the woods. THE WOODS, ON THE FOURTH OF JULY. Yeah, not a good idea. Even though we were walking on a path, there were these two ATV's that we ran into which scared the shit out of me. They were these two drunk guys. Since we were looking for someone, we payed no attention to them and just kept walking. However, we didn't want to go deeper into the woods, so we turned to go back. Needless to say, there were drunk guys, shooting off fireworks, in the middle of the path. So greaaat, all we could do was stand there or risk getting burned by the fireworks. Not fun. So, they finally let us pass and they started making fun of us. We ran back to the house we were at. We later saw one of those guys stare at the house as he walked past. Needless to say, we didn't go in the woods again.

It got dark, so we started to play Manhunt. The game went on for about one turn and then we went by the fire for the sparklers. Let's just say, the fire got so big, we couldn't even get the sparklers into the fire without it being extremely hot. We tried to use a candle, but the candle wouldn't stay lit for more than like 2 seconds. Joey and Jason decided that it was a good idea to put the sparkles into empty beer bottles so they would crack. Haha, CRACK A BOTTLE! (loving the Eminem reference :P)

After the sparklers, we watched some fireworks, then played ping-pong and went inside to play video games. I ended up sleeping over which was a whole lot of fun! Haha more good times were made at that sleepover!

Blogging From Tumblr

I've been blogging from Tumblr for the longest time, hoping for at least one person to read my blog. Eh, not gonna happen, so I'm not gonna worry about it anymore! My online blog is basically my journal because I write more on the computer than I do in notebooks.

Anyway, today is the first day of summer for me! I'm so excited! I can't believe I've finished my sophomore year of high school. Keep thinking about how I'm gonna have to take the SAT's next year which is scary. It's also scary that I'm finally gonna be an upperclassman next year. Junior year...no thanks. I'd rather think towards summer right now!

So today, I walked home from school. Basically, we had an hour and a half of school and most of the people in my grade went home. No sense of sitting at school doing nothing. So I walked home with my BFFL Beth and one of my other friends. Didn't realize how long it took to walk from the school to my house. It took 40 minutes in total and I don't live that far away from the school I go to!

So I've been starting to like Eminem a lot lately. Ever since I saw the video for Not Afraid, I've loved him and been hooked on his music. However, like all my friends think it's abnormal. Everyone tells me that I don't look like the person to listen to Eminem. They say that they'd picture me to be more of a Justin Bieber fan....EWWWWW NOOOOO!!! NEVER!!!

Father's Day is Sunday! So excited! Even though I'm kind of mad that the Much Music Awards is on Sunday. I really wanted to watch Adam Lambert perform! Not to mention that Adam's up for some awards and so is Eminem. I'm totally scared for one category, both Adam Lambert and Eminem are in it. I really don't wanna say that I'm for both of them because then all the Adam Lambert fans would say I'm not a true fan and get Uber pissed at me. Oh well.....it is what it is and I can like anyone I want to like. And I'm excited because I get to see my cousins. Even though they live in the next town over, I never get to see them because they're always so busy. Summertime means more sleepovers, pool parties, and get together, WOOT!

So, that's about everything that's going on in my life right now. Haha I love how I can write a blog with ease yet I had trouble writing a few paragraphs for schoolwork :P.

PEACE OUT!
