One of those "25 Things" notes all over Facebook

I did one, so I figured I might as well put it on here. So here are 25 random things about me.

1. I'm turning 19 in 2 days!

2. I love music. A lot. A lot a lot. I listen to all different types of genres and love singing and dancing along regardless as to whether or not I "can" sing/dance. :P

3. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with my life as of now.

4. I love to read. I'm a total bookworm. As for writing I always get ideas for books but I never seem to get past the second chapter...

5. Art is fun to do, but it also can be frustrating. I am my hardest judge.

6. In continuation with 6, I judge myself pretty harshly a lot of the time. :)

7. They say eyes are the windows to the soul. I love eyes. I find it really interesting to look at people's irises and see the different colors and patterns.

8. I can get a bit bipolar. At the slightest thing I can get myself all depressed or happy. Music helps.

9. I love nature: animals, trees, flowers, and the sky. I really love stars. Laying back and looking up at a night sky full of stars is one of the most awesome feelings in the world.

10. I am kind of afraid of the ocean. Well not the ocean per-say, but drowning or being eaten by something. (It's like a fear of heights, it's not a fear of heights, its a fear of falling :P)

11. I don't like being afraid or being cowardly of doing anything. Especially when I find out it wasn't that big of a deal in the first place. I get really mad at myself afterward.

12. I really want to travel someday. Especially to Europe.

13. I love the new church/youth group(s) I'm going to now. :)

14. I'm not so good at making new friends or talking to new people, but I think I'm getting better at it.

15. I'd really love to be in a musical someday.

16. I used to be terrified of roller coasters. I still am, but at least I can go on CA Screamin' now. :P

17. I actually enjoy Shakespeare. Mainly the comedies, but I also find parts of Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet hilarious.

18. I love romantic comedies AND action adventure movies. Everyone needs a little of both in their life. :)

19. I'm excited about whatever is coming next in life..

20. I don't like being treated like I'm too young or too naive to understand things. I also hate being ignored.

21. I have a huge scar from my surgery on my back that really doesn't bug me anymore.

22. I find it so much safer to crush on fictional/famous people than friends, but I can't help it sometimes.

23. It'd be cool to actually finish learning an instrument as I only started violin and piano and never really got anywhere with it.

24. Falling in love sounds like an awfully scary and wonderful adventure. :)

25. I pace when I'm on the phone or deep in thought. It helps me somehow I guess :P

And another month goes by...

Wow. It's almost been a month since my last post... yeah I'm not so good at these resolutions.


It's kinda funny though. Writing a blog is like a message in a bottle kind of thing. You kinda just throw something out there and wonder if anyone's going to read it. (not that this is a cry for help...)

I have been busy with redoing Algebra 1 (oh yeah, happyfuntimes!) I have to have it finished by Oct. 30th, then I "get" to finish Geometry before going on to Algebra 2... (yippie??) This charter school apparently thinks I enjoy math, allot. Actually, what happened was when I was transferring to a charter school from basic homeschool, I couldn't find enough math from each kind to satisfy them... therefore I have to redo a bunch to satisfy their appetites for mathly knowledge. (Mathly should totally be a word.)

Literature is pretty cool. Read a play called Tartuffe, which was pretty funny (and the whole thing rhymed!) and now we're reading The Three Musketeers. It's pretty great so far, but it's a heck of a long book. Good thing we don't have to do it all in one week, but that wouldn't be impossible for me... (Not trying to brag, but I do devour books pretty quickly..) Oh and I have to write a play for theater credit. Like I said, Literature, and books are allot more of my thing. Writing a play is hecka hard. So I decided to go with something on the easy side. It's called Cinderface, basically a modern Cinderella story with a guy instead of a girl. I know, I know. Anyways, speaking of theater...

Theater's going well, didn't get a lead (oh shock-surprise) but my character should be pretty interesting. Actually, tonight we're having character interviews... and because my character was written into the script (that's never a good sign btw) I get to make up virtually anything I want about my character (which is pretty awesome actually) because it's not like I'm on stage that often or say that much anyway. I could be married to the king of Siberia, a double agent from the Soviet, or pretty much anything I want. It's not like the audience will ever know anyways. (Mwahahaha)

This whole end-of-October deadline has kept me pretty confined to my house (being a homeschooler) which sucks. I haven't seen my friends (outside of theater and history/lit class) in over 2 weeks. (Not like they invited me to hang out anyway... but even if they did I probably would've had to turn them down. Which prospect's sadder? you tell me.)

One of my close friends, Kehau, is having a Broadway-costume themed birthday party the 30th, which should be allot of fun. Speaking of which, Halloween's coming up... I'm thinking of being Little Red Riding Hood. I have a black skirt and shirt/vest thing which is pretty cool, but would be mostly covered by my awesome red hooded cape I have. Sadly, I have no idea where I'd wear this costume as I have no plans (so far) for Halloween. I'll let ya'll know as things develop.

Well gotta get back to the books (oh joy!)
Peace, out.
