This year, I'm participating in National Novel Writing Month. NaNoWriMo starts on November 1st, this coming Monday. Guess who still hasn't settled on a novel topic? Me. I have a few ideas but nothing that really jumps off the page. I have the weekend to decide...
(This weekend is Halloween! I'm so excited to dress up! I'm going as Snooki from the Jersey Shore.)

Things I Hate
Sitting in class, thinking about all of the things that make me angry...
1. Sneezing. Other people sneezing, when I sneeze if someone talks about sneezing. It just makes me angry.
2. Loud people. I'm a loud person but there are just some people who take it a little too far.
3. Hip hop/popular music. It has no point. No one's going to remeber "Like a G6" or "Just Dance" in 10 years. I have that terrible feeling that 2000-2020 will go down in history as two decades of the worst music ever.
4. Computer viruses. No one likes these.
5. Health class. It's boring and pointless. I know not to smoke, or do drugs or get pregnant. I'm not stupid.
6. People who work at fast food places. Just becuase you're make $2 an hour doesn't mean you have to be an ass.
7. Doors that don't slam. When I want to get a point across, I like to slam a door. It wakes the people around you up and helps you make an enterance. All doors should slam. This needs to be a law.
8. Gum chewing. I could go on and on about how much I hate gum. It's stupid. Why would you want to chew on something for extended periods of time?! I don't get it, and honestly I think it looks trashy.
9. People who are alwys sick. They're not really sick, thye just want to get out of something.
10. People with an excuse for everything. You know who you are. "My dog ate it then he got hit by a car and we had to take him to the vet by I had to drive because my mom was at work and my dad has a broken leg and I was at the pet ER until 2 a.m.". Please, shut up. You didn't do your homework so stop with the stupid excuses.
11. Someone reading over my shoulder. I hate it so much. What I'm writing or reading is none of your business.
12. Uneven number of followers on Twitter. Don't know why this bothers, me but it does.
13. Mondays.
14. Writer's block. This is most annoying when you're getting graded.
15. One letter text messages. "k". "k" could mean so many things. I wrote you a sentance, at leat give me a whole word.
16. That one piece of hair that won't pick a side. I part my hair to the far left and there's always that one piece of hair that wants to be different...
17. Snuggies. I don't care how many times the blanket falls off me, I'm not stooping to the Snuggie level.
18. People who try to hard. You know what I mean.
19. People who think they know everything. News Flash! YOU DON'T KNOW IT ALL.
20 Awkward conversations. I'm not a people person anyway. If I don't look interested, walk away.
21. Missing a show you would kill to go to. I missed three of those just this past weekend....
22. Headaches that make you dizzy. Had one of those yesterday and couldn't do anything productive.
23. People asking me to do shit for them. Every once in a while is ok, but everyday?
24. Pointless Facebook statuses. Bob Someone- is so excited to see that he has one new follower on Twitter! :DDD. Facebook needs a "IDGAF" button.
25. Math. I just don't like it. Too much thinking.
This is only the tip of the iceberg...

The Cold from Hell
It's cold season again and "The Cold from Hell" is going around the little bunch of people I hang around with. Everyone has it and "The Cold from Hell" really is from hell. I have a headache, a sore throat, stuffy nose and an upset stomach. And it's Monday. I hate Mondays. I just want to go home and sleep until Friday.
I got almost no sleep last night. I kept waking myself up to listen to a song (I sleep with the radio on), adjust my blanket or try to breathe. I think the lack of sleep made the Cold from Hell angry. I really hope it doesn't stay angry too long because this weekend is Halloween and I'd prefer not to be blowing my nose in full costume. I'm starting to feel like the walking dead. School should be lots of fun this week... -sigh-
The Cold from Hell has hit at one of the worst times possible for me. My next three weekends are all booked up. This weekend I'm going to my friend's Halloween party on Saturday and then another party on Sunday. The weekend after that, I have Ring/Pin dance. Basically its a dance for the Juniors and Sophmores at our school .We get our pins and Juniors get their class rings. The weekend after all that, 11/12-11/14, I'm going to The Maine concert (: D) on Friday and possibly a Set Down Strikes show on Sunday.
I really need a dress for Ring/Pin. I don't know when I'm going to find time to get that. Between swimming, school and all the other stuff, I have almost no time to do anything. Thanks Cold from Hell, for coming at the worst time possible.

Never Fall Asleep
I hate when song gets stuck in my head but I only know like 2 lines. Yeah, I'm having that problem right now. My Apocalypse, Escape the Fate. I've been singing it over and over in my head since the begining of the day. I don't even know the whole song. Just the a few lines ("never fall alseep, you won't wake up") and the drum line. It's annoying.
20 minutes left to lunch, I'm really done with today. Ready for the weekend! Now I'm in health, trying to decide on a new desktop background. I really don't like this class. There are 30 of us in this period and everyone is loud and never listnes to the teacher. Ans i have this calls everyday.So, here's what I picked for my background:

I painted a triad on a rock and left it under a tree but I had to take a picture before I left it. |

Money, Music and Teenage Melodrama
I've been so busy and out of my element lately. I've had a ton of school work and I'm having problems understanding the things we're working on in my math class. I've had swim practice every night and can't forget about talking to your friends and primetime television! To blow off a little steam, I thought I'd do a post about all the stupid crap I deal with.
Money- Because I don't have a steady income, I live off of birthday money and whatever my parents give me when I leave the house. This makes buying things difficult(obviously). I have long list of things I want and only $200 left from my birthday. The $200 was going to go towards my homecoming dress but now I'm not going to homecoming (this is also part of the melodrama). Because I'm not going, I don't have to spend it, but I probably will. Then I'll have to ask for money for christmas again this year. So along with school stress, swimming stress and friends, I worry about where my income is going to come from.
Music- My one true love. Music is an amazing thing. I used to just listen and not think about what I was hearing but I'm starting to realize that music connects so many people. Music also helps you drown out other people. It's nice to be able to get out your iPod and not have to hear the endless chatter of your classmates in the morning (I'm not a morning person). Lately, I haven't been listening to music as much as feeling it. I love it when a song makes you feel happy, sad, angry, or like you can do anything. I think going to see so many of my favorite bands this summer helped me to understand how much work goes into just one of the songs that I listen to over and over again. I think I want to learn to play guitar or something... oh, wait I have no time or natural musical talent.
Teenage Melodrama- When I say "melodrama", I'm not saying that my friends or people around me are dramatic or I don't like them, it's just I'm getting more and more dramatic everyday and everything is a huge deal. Well, not everything. School is a big deal. Grades are a big fucking deal. The other night, I had a dream that I ended up going to a community college. Honestly, never getting away from home is one of my biggest fears (Failure is the biggest fear I have). I have this awful image of myself working at like, Walmart for the rest of my life because I screwed up in high school. I don't want that.
I'm doing very well in all of my classes except one. Geometry. I've boomed 2 quizes and I have a chapter test tomorrow. I'm freaking out. My parents have told me since I started school that math is the most important subject, and now I'm having major issues with it. I've never had any real problems with school until now and I have no idea what to do... On top of regular school stuff, PSAT's are next week. I haven't even had time to look at the practice test. I smell an epic fail in the making. *heavy sigh*
What I really wish (and I know this is silly) is that I had some kind of amazing musical, or artistic talent to rocket me to sucess. I'd even take a modeling or acting talent, just as long as I won't have to worry about school.
I really just want to not have to worry about grades and tests. I've given myself a headache. Time to finish this up... Money is the enemy, Music is my escape, and the Melodrama that is my life is makeing my wish I had a talent I know I'll never find.

I'm in chemistry class at the moment. This is not a class that I find extremely interesting, obviously, because Im not paying a lick of attention. I've taken some notes but my head is just not here...
I think I already mentioned that I'm pretty short and my feet don't touch the ground when I sit in the chairs at school. This drives me insane. I hate it when I can swing my feet and not touch the ground. I don't know why, this really bothers me.

Closer to the Echelon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Dr3VK6XLY0
This is the fan response to 30 Seconds to Mars' Closer to the Edge music video. It really shows how diverse the global Echelon really is. All different types of people are connected by this one band, even people who don't speak English. The Echelon really is a family.
The Echelon Video project was something I wish I would have heard about earlier, but apparently I live under a rock. Because I didn't make a video, I'd like to say something about what the Echelon is to me now.
To me, the Echelon is almost unexplainable. It's truly hard to explain how it all makes you feel. Some people are convinced I'm just obsessed or I really love their music or concerts. But it's more than the music, it's how the music makes you feel when you're sitting alone with your headphones on, drowning out the memories of a bad day. It's more than the craziness of the concert, the rush to barrier during your favorite song, the roar of the crowd or the ringing in your ears. It's more than knowing every word to every song and writing them on everything and anything you can. The Echelon is about being part of something bigger than yourself. And when someone looks at you weird and asks what the glyphs stand for you just smile and explain. The Echelon is for the believers, the people who understand, and not everyone's going to understand. But the ones who do understand, the Echelon is so important. And yes, we are all just a little bit crazy. We are dedication, we are family, we are the Echelon.
