Anime Weekend??

I ...

I have a guilty pleasure.

Anime.

I know, pretty weird, huh? Well I guess that goes to show you just how bored I get on most of my weekends. OK, so it started Saturday, and I was bored (as usual) and said to myself, "Since I always liked Sailor Moon when I was little, why not see what the actual show was like?" I came. I saw. I... Didn't care much for it, actually. It may just be one of those things you outgrow.

Actually, anime's been around for a while with me, I just never knew it. My first was, what, Pokemon? Digimon? I don't know. But we all know how both of those ended up. Digimon's a canceled reject of a show and Pokemon's stuck on endless loop, only with new pokemon they thought of when they got drunk last Friday night. Kidding. Maybe.

So I said, "Dang, little kid disappointment. What else is there?" Then I remembered: Naruto.

Yes, I've hit rock bottom in coolness. But hey, ninjas man, FTW!

The weird thing is, I liked it a lot more than I wanted to. It's kind of like Death Note... Actually it's nothing like Death Note, I just wanted a comparison. It's sort of like an iPod. There are some cool songs on it that most people like, but then there's stuff that no one's heard of/listens to anymore (Ex., in my case, Alice in Videoland, David Bowie, Maximum the Hormone, The Beatles) and would make fun of you for even having on there. Naruto = David Bowie. Wow, that's a bit weirder than I thought it'd be.

P.S. - I know I say this all the time, but I've got an excuse! SATs. Nuf said. Actually this is the first time I've taken them, and they suck like those tests we took in grade school.

Tan Lines and Funnel Cakes =]

Dang, I need to get on here more.

I say that every time I get on here, though...

Yeah.

So if you live in northeast MS, you know that there's this thing every April called the Railroad Festival and is THE place to be (since it's pretty much the most interesting thing that happens around here). We went at about noon today and I left at about, I don't know, 5? 6? Pretty late. Saw a TON of people I knew and even saw some of my friends perform in thier bands. (Which were AWESOME, by the way!)

Oh yeah, it was Friday, wasn't it? Usually we're off school today for the RRF, but not today because of snow last winter. But yeah, screw school. I even saw some of my teachers up there. LOL!

OK, so this is pretty useless and random, but I felt like sticking it out there. Also, what is with everyone and Justin Beiber? I wish people would stop making fun of her.

Lesbians make us Famous??

Whoa, been a while.

Yeah.

Anyway, I feel kinda famous. sxephil on YouTube just talked about the girls who wanted to go to the prom as each other's date! Why am I so excited about such a blasphemous act? I live like 20 miles from it all! Who knew Mississippi was news-worthy?

And about the gay/lesbian thing, don't get me wrong. I don't agree with it as it is clearly stated in the Bible as being wrong, but it's their choice to make, not mine. It's not my business to tell you who to like and unless a chick hits on me I'm not really gonna care a whole lot.

And thus concludes today's episode. I'd link some stuff but I'm lazy.

Licenses = Bad!!

Yes, I never thought I'd think driving could be bad, but it is. I'm not that great a driver, really, but this isn't about me! Once a guy has his driver's license, he can just go straight home and doesn't have to wait for his mom to pick him up. So that takes away up to two times a day you get to see him!... Yeah....

Gosh, what is it about certain people? That you get this funny feeling in your stomach when you're around them? And what kinda scares me is that it's probably not for everyone. I've always believed that there is one person perfect for just one other, but apparently not. I'm afraid I'm going to end up the lonely old cat lady that sits and plays Halo all the time. And, well, I've gotten to where I don't want to be alone all the time. If I can, I want to be with people. That's what really scares me about dieing, I think, is being alone. I don't want to be alone when it happens, I want someone with me, someone who'll care.

And gosh, why am I so impatient? I don't know, I may just be getting desperate. I end up falling too fast, and I'm kind of scared I'll get him scared. I'm only one person after all.

Dang, Miley Cyrus on American Idol is making my ears bleed. Yes, you needed to know that.

But yeah, just one of those things about life... This crazy little thing called love, I guess.

Sugar Honey Ice Tea!

Y'know what? Sometimes life just smacks you in the face with reality, and it's not always fair. I admit I've expressed my opinions on here quite a few times, but that's all it is, an opinion. I don't mean much by it, it's just what comes to my mind and I enjoy putting it down somewhere. So yeah, no offense intended anywhere. Wow, that sounds kinda harsh... but I don't mean it that way.

Reality? Time flies too fast. I'm 15. I'm in the 9th grade. I can drive (with a licensed adult over the age of 21). I hate realizing these things because it happens too fast. I used to be this quiet, geeky chick with like two friends, now I'm third chair flute, a good study partner/tutor, and I'm around a bunch of people all the time.

I miss my brother, and heck, I sorta miss my used-to-be brother. I miss my Mammaw who died last March, and it keeps me from sleeping at night because I'm afraid of myself or someone I know dying. I hate that said used-to-be was seemingly really offended by a post, and yeah, he has the right to be, I'm not saying I was right. I hate that the guy I like won't look at me and won't keep a conversation with me going. I hate how someone you used to be best friends with will just up and leave one day.

More reality? I don't know, just look around you. Just thinking about it kinda makes me sick. Sometimes I wonder if it's really the best thing to have children. My sister's pregnant right now, and eventually her baby will learn about life and death and God and everything in between. Sometimes that stuff weirds me out, and what if it weirds out little Lima? (family joke) I'm concerned because it would be nice to go through life on a breeze, but you'll learn sooner or later. That kind of worrying isn't a good feeling.

I know I have problems; we all do. Yes, even you, the perfect, toothpick-waist blonde in the back. And I don't know, you've just got to do what your heart tells you. Trust in God and he won't let you down. :)

And P.S. (for kicks and giggles) -- I have a huge, puppy crush on a guy whose best friend may or may not end up reading this... Kinda hope he does though, this is for him. :)

Band trip video!!

Here goes, as promised! And yes, I know the audio is mostly bad... Picture's pretty good, though!

Band trips and my first YouTube video!

Tomorrow I have to wake up at 3:30 in the morning. Know why? We're going to Ridgeland for a concert festival! Sure, it'll be fun, but that's too early for anything. To make things more interesting, I'm bringing my video camera to record me and my friends being us :)

This'll be my first REAL YouTube video. Me and my cousin have been trying for a while to think of a good idea, so maybe this'll give us a head start. I found this great editing program from Microsoft, so I can just go ahead and fix up everything on my laptop. Hope to see you soon!
