I think I might be addicted to iTunes. In the past three days, I've bought 40 songs on iTunes. I love loud, "head-banging" music along with alternative rock, classic rock and yes, even country. I'm a total music addict and I don't contest that. I buy all kinds of crap on iTunes. Even stuff I don't really like to listen to. Today, I bought "Teach Me How to Dougie". I don't listen to hip hop or rap but I heard it when I was on vacation. I went in a little store on the boardwalk in Ocean City and they were playing it and the song stuck in my head. I also bought Puddle of Mudd, Volume 4: Songs in the Key of Love and Hate. Yesterday, I bought Suicide Silence No Time to Bleed (Bonus Track Version).
I'd like to say something about Suicide Silence: I saw them at Warped Tour this year. The band itself was pretty frightening. The crowd in front of the stage was the really scary thing. There were people throwing things at the stage, people getting hit, crowd surfers and a circle pit formed right where I was. The band sounded no different live then they do on the album. They're a really good live band, but they're a bit scary... Anyone that can scream and growl on stage for an entire set should be feared and respected.
On a similar note... I was watching the Capricorn music video last night and I noticed for the first time how loud and "head-bangy" Thirty Seconds to Mars' first album is. THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS CONCERT TOMORROW NIGHT. *freak out*

Closer and Closer, I'm Almost Over the Edge
As I've said a few times before, my friends are crazy. I had a party yesterday and it ran on to all hours of the night. Three people stayed over night as well. Over the past few years, parties at my house have earned a reputation. Not for anything illegal like most people think when a 15-year-old tells them that their parties have a reputation with their friends. This year I invited more people than I probably should have. The guest list is normally about 20 people. There were almost 30 this time. The reason it was so much bigger this time is because my parents decided it would be easier to have our family party on the same day as the party I have for my friends. Everything went smoothly except for a few little things.
One of the little things that didn't go as planned was a full scale food fight. It started when all of my friends sat down to eat cake. One of my friends put a little bit of cake on my face, so naturally, I did the same to her. She didn't like this so i had a whole peice of ice cream cake shoved in my face. One thing lead to another, and eventually 10 of us were running around in my front yard covered in ice cream. I have to say that this was alot more fun than I ever thought a food fight would be. As an added bonus for me, being part of a food fight can now be crossed off my bucket list.
Another little problem, I got into a pretty big fight with two of my cousins. One of them wanted to get my neighbor to come over so he could "beat the crap out of him". Just to clear this up, my neighbor is an 8-year-old boy and the cousin that wanted to fight with him is almost 8. This wasn't waht made me mad, it was the fact that my other cousin, who is going to be 15 in the next few monthes, was encouraging this kind of behavior from my younger cousin. When I heard they wanted to do this, I got involved and it turned into a screaming match. As always, I won, they got in trouble, and no one was beat up.
Final thing that went wrong. At around 9:00pm, my friends and I thought it was a good idea to go "pool hopping". Pool hopping is when you go and jump in a pool that isn't your's and that you don't have premission to be in. Funny thing was, my dad suggested it to us. We gave it a shot, and hit one pool before someone had to go back and use the bathroom. After that, we tried it again but ran into a problem. Apparently, we were making noise. I didn't think we were that loud that anyone would really notice. At the bottom of my street, we stopped to take a group picture, when we turned around, someone was walking towards us. It was an angry older man that claimed to be a police officer. First off, I know this guy. I don't know him real well but I did pull his dog out of a creek about a year ago. I know where his house is and who his wife is. Second, he's not a cop. I walk around my neighborhood alot and there are 2 police officers. One lives two doors up from me and the other lives a street over. I know both of them well enough to know that the guy who yelled at us last night wasn't with the police. It really pissed me off that this guy came over to us with what was most likely a toy police badge and yelled at us.
Other than a few things, it was a good day and a successful party and I know everyone had a good time. but it really does bother me that someone would have the nerve to yell at a bunch of kids like that guy did. I've lived in my house for 12 years and I've never had an issuse with any of my neighbors and I'm outside almost all night sometimes.
On a brighter note, 4 people are now going with me to the Thirty Seconds to Mars concert. I also got a new camera and hopefully, I'll get some good pictures!

Birthday!!
Yesterday was my birthday. I had a very good birthday this year. I got to stay home all day and do whatever I wanted. Me and my friend went and spray painted a few trees. It was alot of fun! Later in the day, I went to my brother's soccer practice. He plays for an under 12 team so it's always pretty funny to watch the smaller kids run around. After practice,we went home and my parents had a cake for me. Like always, they gave one of my birthday gifts on my birthday(It always seems like my birthday falls on a weekday...). This year's gift was... wait for it... 4 TICKETS FOR THE THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS CONCERT ON SEPTEMBER FIRST.
Needless to say, I was extremely excited.

Crazy Fan-Girls
I've said it may time before, I love Thirty Seconds to Mars. I'm a self-proclaimed crazy fan-girl, so naturally I was overly excited when I found out they were playing a concert in Baltimore! I wanted to buy the Ultimate Fan pack tickets but I knew there was no point in trying to get my mother to buy me $250 tickets. Instead, I'm buying general admission tickets. I don't care what tickets I get. I just want to go.
Because I'm a minor, mother won't let me and my best friends go to this particular venue alone. She wasn't going to let me go at all. Neither was my friend's mother. This scared the shit out of me. I go back to school a week later and I can't make it to the only other show that's a reasonable driving distance. Our mother's talked on the phone while me and my friend cired. Crying is a bit of an understatement. We sobbed. For a long time. I've given my mother an awful time about this concert, but I'm NOT missing it. I will be there, and everyone will know I'm there.
I'm pretty crazy day-to-day so I know I'm not going to be able to conduct myself like a normal human being. My friend is convinced that I'm going to have a panic attack. I do this nervous/excited finger btiting thing, and honestly, I'm scared that I'm going to chew a finger off waiting to get into the venue. My friend is an equally crazy fan and I know we're both going to freak out.
To finish this post I'd like to say: I'M GOING TO A THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS CONCERT. *screams and flails*

Followed...
Have you ever felt like you were being watched? or followed? Well, I think I'm being followed by a number. 817, 8/17, Luke 8:17. I see it almost everywhere I go. This number doesn't mean anything to me. It's not my birthday and nothing important happened to me on August 17. This number is annoying and its starting to make me nerverous.

I Promise I'll Never Change
I keep telling myself that I'll never change. Even if everything changes around me. I know I can't stay the same forever, but I honestly wish that everything would stay the way it is right now. I love everything about my life, my friends, my family, my home, my apperance, everything! I know it will change, I will grow up, I will move one, things will become more difficult. The more difficult thing scares me. Alot. But I always remember what my 7th grade teacher told my class, "God never gives you anything you can't handle". I hope she's right...
I made a promise to myself along time ago that I would never conform to what other people wanted me to be. I promise you, I'll never change, I'll always be me and if I don't like what I am, I'll work on it until I'm exactly who I need to be. I'll never be fake, I'll never give in, I won't be who you want me to be.I'll never be in the background, you will never put me down. I'll be the one you remember. But most importantly, I'll never fade away. This I promise, this I swear.

Photos
I took this picture and I really like it. My camera is kinda crappy but hopefully, I'll be getting a new one soon! I'm hoping to get a nice Cannon camera or something like that. The camera that I really would love to get is the Cannon EOS or the Nikon D40. Both of those are very expensive so I know that's not going to happen, but that's ok! I just want a camera with a faster shutter speed and a better focus.

Thoughts on Immortality
I've fallen back into my old ways, once again, I'm reading a vampire book. Well, rereading my second favorite vampire book. No, its not Twilight or any of the books in the saga. The book I'm reading is Th Queen of the Damned written by Anne Rice. The characters in this book are immortal and never age. This concept seems to appeal to alot of people.
This book makes me think about what kind of person would be able to handle a life that never ends. It also makes me wonder if immortality is all that it's cracked up to be.
If you could live forever, you would never have to worry about your own death, only the death of the people around you. You would get to see how the world changes across hundreds, even thousands, of years. Living forever would probably give you a sense of unlimited freedom and power, which could be a negative thing. If you're a vampire immortal, you can only go outside at night. You would also have to drink the blood of mortals to keep on living like you are. You would probably look different than the normal people walking the streets, so that could make it difficult to blend in...
If you live forever, you'll have to watch the people that you love live their life and die. When you can never die, but everyone in your life already has, what do you have to live for? This would be the part that I would have the biggest problem dealing with. I won't mind never growing old or watching the world change around me, but I would be lost without my friends and family.
It seems like alot of people like the idea of living forever and never growing any older, but before you go looking for a vampire, think about it.
If any immortal being comes across this, I hope you like it and leave me a comment! Or maybe even follow my blog??
