Currently: In Lit class. Just took a test and I think I passed :D
Mood: Worried about History test next EEK O.O
So, is there a reason that I can't blog? I can never seem to keep anything up. URRGHHSHSKFJASKD
I'd make the excuse, "Oh, my life is just uber boring and I don't have anything to talk about." But the worst part is, that's not even true. I ACTUALLY have stuff to blog about and I don't do it! *smacks self*
Whatevs. I guess I just can't be committed to something. Maybe this year I can be a part of BEDA (Blog Every Day in April).
That's all I have to say for today. I had more to rant about, but I feel like going to read the Da Vinci code instead ;)

Oh hi there!
Friday August 21, 2009
9:16 pm (The time below this post is a complete liar as are the times below all my other posts...)
Currently Listening to: The highway outside my house
Currently Reading: The Da Vinci Code (Though I haven't actually picked it up in a while. I just carry it around and look like I'm reading it.)
Stuff I Bought Recently: A McFlurry :D I <3 ice cream (though I really need to stop eating it)
So, I haven't posted any blogs in a while and I felt like today was as good a day as any since I had been hoping to actually keep it up. Yeah, knew that was going to fall through. I can't finish anything I start. Sheesh.
But anyways, school has started and it's been SUPER :D I love most of my classes (except Latin) and hope it's going to be a good year. I think it will be. So far I think my favorite class is....well, I guess Psychology. It's pretty interesting and my teacher is amazing. The only problem with that class is that there's only 2 people in there who I kind-of-not-really hang out with. So that sucks, but I still enjoy the class and that's what matters most.
Basically nothing too interesting happened today other than I found out my little sophomore sister doesn't go to my school anymore. That was mildly depressing. I think it was against her will though, which is even sadder, but I'm glad she didn't leave because she hated the school. Then I'd feel extra bad. So that was a low point of the day. Along with leaving my lunch at home. That SUCKED.
Just now I got home from taking my brother to a mixer at his school. I'm kind of glad no one in my group wanted to go. It looks like basically all Freshman. You know, the girls that wear WAY too much eye makeup, bootie shorts and skin-tight shirts? Yeah. Super glad I didn't go, though I did feel a tad weird dropping my brother off but not staying myself. Although personally, I'd SO much rather curl up with a good book in bed rather than dance around with some obnoxious screaming freshman. Ugh.
I guess I really had nothing interesting to talk about today. I just felt the need to blog since I hadn't in a while. I can almost guarantee that I'll have more to talk about soon what with the school year getting into full swing and all the fun school events coming up: dances, spirit week, more dances, THE PLAY etc. YAY!
And to anyone who's reading this, I hope your school year goes well ;)
Mmk. That's all :D

Long-ass Day
Saturday July 25. 2009
11:20 pm
Currently Listening to: The tv in the background
Currently Reading: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Again) and The Davinci Code
(I just finished My Sister's Keeper. Twas really good.)
Stuff I bought recently: New yellow ipod headphones (WOOT WOOT!) and an HP6 movie poster (It's freaking AWESOME!)
Oh look! Sam actually lives!
Yes, yes. I haven't posted in forever. But if you know me, that is sooo not a surprise. I can't keep up anything I start.
I just felt that since I haven't blogged in God knows how long, I thought I should. And I had some stuff I could talk about.
ANYWAYS. Onto the days events.
So, I get up around 11:00 am. Yeah, I'm a late sleeper. I actually only got out of bed because I had to be somewhere at 11:30. Catholic Heart Work Camp, that is. It's this really awesome camp that goes all around the country (and Jamaica and Mexico I learned today) and kids come from all around the country to do service work in the town. Since they came to my city, I go with my youth group to help set up, tear down, and serve dinner all week. It's actually really fun and hopefully I'll actually get to travel and attend the camp next year.
So then after camp, I went to my G-ma's house to help her carry things downstairs to her new bookshelves my Dad built. So, I get there and she takes me upstairs and tells me to move all these binders on the shelves in her guest room. I knew that my Grandma was obsessed with my family's genealogy, but I had no idea exactly how obsessed she was.
I go to the bookshelf to start pulling off binders, and she has 6 and 7 inch binders! And there aren't just 2 or 3. No, there's probably at least 30 or more. All sizes, but there were probably at least 10 7 inch binders. I've never in my life seen binders so big. And they're FILLED. Almost to the point where stuff is falling out. She is freaking obsessed. She told me she wanted to write the entire history of our family. I love my Grandma.
I also found out that my Grandma likes to watch British mystery shows on Channel 9. I found that absolutely hilarious. I was watching some of it, and Sean Biggerstaff (Oliver Wood in the first Harry Potter movie) is in one of her shows. And I heard the show mention someone named Mr. Snape. I laughed out loud at that.
Since I was bored and had finished moving binders, I decided to go through a photo album sitting on the chair next to me. I found out that almost the entire thing was just pictures of gravestones of my great-great-great grandparents and so on. Being a writer, I love weird names, so I pulled out a paper to write some down that I thought were cool or just downright weird and hilarious. Here are all the ones I wrote down:
Artemisia (I think I'll actually use this one)
Leolin
Etta
Nettie
Arminda
Evaline
Elsie
Adelaide
Elmore
Eva
Mertie
Icydora (who the hell names their child that?!)
Lillie (I liked the spelling)
Lucian (Reminded me of Lucius Malfoy from HP :P)
So yuppers. I loved these names and I'll probably use them in stories and what not. My fave was Artemisia though :D
Anyway, I think that's all. I'm off to bed and to read Harry Potter :D
Love love love,
Sam

Writing <3
Blahhhh.....
I'm getting so frustrated with my novel. I wish I could just be that amazing author where all these amazing ideas come into my head and I just churn out this amazingly fulfilling and life-changing novel. I love writing so much. I just wish that I could actually get something accomplished. I'm sitting in religion class right now, trying to come up with something to start off my novel with, and I just am stuck.
The worst thing is, I'm starting to feel the way I do when I'm getting bored with my story. I really want to write something great. I want to write something that will inspire someone and influence them. I've read so many amazing books. Like John Green's books for examples. They make me think in ways that I never thought about. They open my eyes to new ideas and that's what I want to do. I want to explore new ideas and concepts that haven't been written about before. Not that that will ever happen, but at least I can try, right?
But yeah. I'm just frustrated with my lack of creative talent and ideas. Ugh. I really want to get this novel written, but how the hell am I supposed to do that if I don't even know what the plot is or what's going to even freaking happen?! GAHFAJKDSFJAFAS
I'm just in a really bad mood today. I still have A WHOLE EFFING HOUR of religion class left, it's like, 80 degrees in this classroom with 100% humidity, and I'm getting super restless. And I HATE taking notes. It means I actually have to like, pay attention. Ew.
I just really need the weekend to get out of this class. Then I'll just have ONE week left!! WOOOOT!
Okay. I'm going to go be bored and tired and annoyed now.

Last Day
So, today in religion class, the girl doing prayer played this song where the chorus was something like, "If today was the last day of your life, what would you do?" It was something along those lines.
Anyway, I thought it was interesting because it got me thinking. Me, as the procrastinator I am, live out the motto, "Why do today what you could put off until tomorrow?" Seriously, I never get anything done. Like right now. I SHOULD be packing for my camping trip this weekend, but instead I'm writing this blog.
But I digress. That song just really got me thinking. What WOULD I do if today was my last day to live? Where would I go? Who would I talk to?
I think I would actually be really super depressed. Just because there are so many things I have yet to experience. There is so much time of my life that I've wasted. I mean, every day I spend my free hours on youtube watching fiveawesomegirls and fiveawesomeguys (I'm watching all of them from the beginning). And granted those channels are really amazing and wonderful, it's just that there are so many other things I could be doing.
For example, I've been wanting to make scrapbooks from my Freshman and Sophomore year of high school. I still have to make 2 birthday scrapbooks for my friends. My room is an absolute mess and you can't even see the carpet. I desperately need to find a job. I'm going on a backpacking trip in New Mexico in August and I haven't trained hardly at all. And I also plan on being an author when I grow up so I need to be writing every day.
And I haven't even STARTED on any of the above tasks. I just keep thinking, oh, I have all summer. But June is almost halfway over.
So what is the rest of my life going to be like? Am I just going to spend it wasting my time on pointless things? Am I ever going to become an author if my life is full of putting things off?
And again, I digress. So, if today were the last day of my life, I think I would take a bunch of friends and family and hop on a plane to Europe. I mean, if I wasn't going to be alive tomorrow, my parents wouldn't have to spend $11,000 to send me to school and one of my goals in life is to visit Europe (mainly England). So that's that. And I'd just want to spend it with people I love.
So anyways, that's my insightful ramblings for the day. And I just remembered I have laundry I need to get done in the next hour. Ima go take care of that.
Look for more blog posts within the next week :)

Bored out of my mind
Does anyone every have those days where you just can't type? I'm having one of those days. Taking notes in religion class, I spelled Catholic as something like, "CaHTtlic" That's so not even close. Ugh.
I have also found that my seat in the classroom sucks. I have to constantly move my head back and forth to see the screen. I probably look like a complete idiot trying to take notes here...
So, I have no idea what to talk about today, considering I'm not doing anything worthwhile. So I googled "journaling prompts" and here's some of the more ridiculous ones that I got.
How far would you go to win?
I'm a beast at everything. I always win.
Allow your pen to give voice to a part of your body besides your mind. Have this part write a letter to you. Write a response.
Umm...yeah no. What kind of question is this? As Hillary said, I think an answer would freak people out. Oh, here's a letter from my left thigh all about what it would want to tell me. wtf?
Write down everything that comes into your mind about money.
I need more.
If you could cook any meal for your family, what would you cook? Describe the meal and tell how you would make it.
wtf kind of question is that? Who would actually write about that in their journal?
Write an entry telling another person something that you are too afraid or reluctant to tell them.
Eff you.
On second thought, I don't think I would be afraid to tell anyone that. So this question was pointless.
Oh my god. We just played Toe, Knee, Chest, Nut. It's like head, shoulders, knees, and toes. What, am I four? I'm going to be a junior in high school next year and this is what we do in religion class. Wow.
Okay, pretty picture of the day! Woot! I <3 href="http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs43/f/2009/146/c/a/My_soul_is_in_the_sky_by_currysiek.jpg">
Credit goes here :D
This deviant has a lot of other really pretty things too. So you should check them out!
Well, I think that's all for today. I shall be back tomorrow hopefully!

Hooray Blog!
Currently listening to: Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield
Yay blog!
Okies, after my last blog got all weird sending out stupid emails to people, I quit that site. Hopefully this site will be nice to me.
And I am going to try and actually write in this one. Fo realsies (I need to stop hanging out with Shelley so much :P) But yeah, I can't seem to keep a diary because I can't write fast enough to keep up with my thoughts. And plus, I only write about stupid stuff in there. I figured if I started a blog, I would actually talk about something worth talking about.
Anyways, summer school sucks butt. I hate having to actually think over summer. It's supposed to be time for relaxation and doing nothing. And I have homework every night. That's not exactly stress free. I'm not sure if I'll take a summer class next year. I mean, I think it will be worth it this year, but I just hate not having the month of June to enjoy.
But whatevs. It will pay off in the end.
So lately I've been spending an obnoxious amount on youtube. Mostly watching all the fiveawesomegirls videos I missed and I decided to subscribe to the fiveawesomeguys. Both great channels worth following :D And Alex Day just makes my day. Super hilarious.
Okies. It's late and I have school tomorrow. YAY! Not...
Nighty night.
