Another Tuesday done!
Today I woke up at like 6:15 am, which is early for me. I'm used to sleeping in, but then again, I have to get back in the "school" routine since school starts for me on the 24th. My siblings start this Thursday.
Big events of the day were that I went to school to figure out my schedule, only to learn that Walk-In Advising ended JUST as I got there, so I have to go back tomorrow. I need to figure out a class to take the place of Spanish. Per the suggestion of my mom I dropped it, but I need to meet with an adviser to figure out a class to take in its place because I'll drop below full-time if I don't. Plus my siblings had their back-to-school ice cream social, but I didn't go. I stayed home to watch The Daily 10 and Who Wants to be a Millionaire. My friend Kayla and I kept our commentary going via Twitter, just like we did for I Survived a Japanese Game Show. The celebrity guest tonight was Wynonna Judd, who Kayla loves. I haven't heard too many of her songs, but I will have to give some a listen.
Also, I learned that Shania Twain is going to be a guest judge during the American Idol auditions. I grew up listening to her and have 2 of her CDs. I remember at my 11th birthday party, we rented a limo and drove around town, and during the trip we listened to Shania and sang along. She's an amazing artist, one of my favorite country singers. I re-uploaded one of her CDs to my iPod and plan on re-uploading the other one soon.
So that's the story of my life on August 18th, so I will sign off for now and just relax to the sounds of this playlist I started making a few days ago.
Love y'all,

Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn about the power of love.
Since Twitter is currently down, I'm gonna take a minute to write in my blog.
Today wasn't really all that exciting. The biggest event of today was that I had a doctor appointment. Not like a physical or anything, but I take a lot of medication, two of which being anti-depressants, so I had to check in with that doctor today. I always look forward to those appointments, even though they're only every 3-6 months. The doctor who handles my meds is a good guy. We always manage to talk about some other things besides the routine questions he asks me. Like the last time I was there, I was wearing my "Twilight" t-shirt, and before he asked me the routine questions we talked about the Twilight series. And when he was done asking all the questions, he asked if I had a boyfriend. I said, "not quite. There IS a guy," (referring to my almost-boyfriend, Billy, who I've mentioned before), and we talked a bit about him, and I said "we're not, like 'official' but we're getting somewhere". And then my doctor asked if my guy was a vampire. And I laughed and said he wasn't.
Today we talked a little bit about movies we've seen. And I mentioned to him that the longest movie I will sit through in one sitting has to be 2 and a half hours at max, like the Harry Potter movies. He mentioned that he hadn't seen them yet and I told them he should. I've seen all the movies in the series except for the 5th one, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", because I was at camp at the time it was released and couldn't get to a theater.
Speaking of movies, there's a lot of movies coming out this fall that look interesting. Like the writer of one of the blogs I read, Dan Barbour (http://bydan.blogspot.com), when I know of 5 movies I want to see this fall, I will make a list. I'm single, and don't really do anything on the weekends, plus I'll have some money from my student loan, so I'll be sure to let you know of any movies I see and will give my review.
I don't have a list of 5 (yet), but I do have one big movie I really want to see.
I have been a fan of the Twilight books since last fall. I love to read (and have a LOT of books I want to read). I am currently reading the 3rd book in the Twilight series, "Eclipse". The first movie in the series, "Twilight" was released last November, and I saw it on the opening day. I only had one class that day in the morning, so before my class I stopped at the theater (it's across the street from my school) to buy my ticket. And fortunately there really wasn't much of a line. So I saw it, enjoyed it, and now own it on DVD.
Well, the sequel to the movie, "New Moon", comes out on November 20th. Depending on what my schedule is like this semester, I am going to see it on the opening day or the day after. And I will get in line when the box office opens, like I always do when there's a huge movie coming out that day that I want to see. The huge movie I didn't see on the opening day, that I can think of, is "The Dark Knight". I waited a week to see it, because 1) it was going to be a zoo, and 2) there was another movie opening that same day that I wanted to see, so I saw that instead.
So I'm looking forward to New Moon this November. And if I can think of 4 other movies I want to see, I will make a list of them and why I want to see them.
Now that's wraps up my rant of the day, so I will sign off this blog, and write in 3 real journals. I'm almost done writing in one of them, so I have to start a new one soon.
Love y'all,

I can't make you love me if you don't, and you can't make your heart feel something it won't.
Wow, I am SO SORRY for the lack of updates, I've been so busy that I neglected to blog. Please forgive me.
Well this weekend has been exciting. My sister and her friend Sarah have been hanging out together all weekend. So I had 3 little kids to keep my eye on this weekend. They start school on Thursday, their ice cream social is Tuesday. I start school the 24th. I can't believe summer is almost over.
This summer I got to spend lots of time with my family, listen to some great music, watch some amazing TV shows, make some videos showing my musical talent, and talk to some of the most amazing people in the world. Be it over Twitter, facebook, myspace, idolforums.com or archuletafans.com, I managed to meet and talk to some amazing people. They're all so easy to talk to and I can trust them with anything.
I just thought of something I could do on this blog: give reviews of some new CDs that I like. My first one will be Colbie Caillait's CD "Breakthrough", which comes out next Tuesday. I'm gonna get an iTunes card sometime this week when I go out, because the pop cans need to be taken back. I love the first single off that CD, "Fallin' For You" because it describes my life right now. I like some guys but I am not sure if I should tell them I'm falling for them. It's just a pretty song and fun to sing. I actually used that song in one of my fanfics, and it was a nice addition and a hit with my readers.
Well, my lovely readers, I am gonna sign off for now and try to catch some z's...........I have a doctor appointment tomorrow. Hoping it goes well.
Love y'all,

I could spend my life in this sweet surrender, I could lost in this moment forever
Today I learned I have a new talent: graphics! My friend Rachael posted 2 tutorials on how to make pictures more........what's a good word......altered. My favorite pics that I've made are posted above. I did pics of Kristen Stewart, Demi Lovato, Ashley Tisdale, Spencer Pratt and Casey Carlson. I'll be posting more as time goes on, if you want to see them!

I'll be there for you when the rain starts to pour, I'll be there for you cuz you're there for me too.
Another Wednesday passed, another middle-of-the-week come and gone, another boring, ordinary day in my life.
Tonight I started watching what will be my new addiction, "The Daily 10" on E! News, then another night of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" on ABC, then I watched a movie (like I do every night), and then I re-watched the series finale of "Friends", which I own on DVD. The series finale aired in May 2004, when I was in 8th grade. I remember watching it with my mom, and my stepdad and sister watched it in another room. Then when I was visiting my grandma for my cousin David's graduation, my now-late Uncle Brian and I ran to Wal-Mart and I bought it on DVD. I re-watched it tonight cuz I had nothing better to watch.
I remember that the ending was satisfying to fans of the show, and it was really good. I was a casual fan of the series because it ran its original run when I was younger and I'd sometimes watch it with my mom.
And the theme song, "I'll Be There For You" by the Rembrandts, is the perfect anthem for friendship. I am actually listening to it as we speak, and am thinking about singing it on youtube in the future and dedicating it to all my friends, both online and in real life. First I need to learn it a little better. It's just a really happy song and it's a good song to sing to your friends when they're feeling down. It even says so in the lyrics:
I'll be there for you when the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you like I've been there before
I'll be there for you, because you're there for me too.
Just remember that song when you or someone else is feeling down. It just has a nice message. Just saying that you'll always be there for someone because someone is there for you too. It's just got an amazing theme to it and if you give it a closer listen, it's just an amazing song.
So now I'm gonna stop preaching to the Bloggerverse about friendship and write in my real journals, but keep this in the back of your mind. Will check in tomorrow!

Pretty baby, don't you leave me, I have been saving smiles for you.
Today was a slightly better day than yesterday was, but still kinda boring as I didn't really leave the house. Just watched TV, played some addicting facebook games, talked to Emily and my other girlfriends, and updated two fanfictions. And re-read them over and over again.
Tonight when I was talking with my friend Theresa, she shared some tips about how to kiss a boy, because my friends Melanie, Sarah and I were wondering how to kiss, since none of us have ever been kissed. I've only been kissed on the cheek by guys I didn't really like. And Theresa being the expert she is, she shared the tips that she found in "Seventeen" magazine (which I read sometimes), and me being the dork I am, I saved them to my computer. Melanie did the same too. We may be dorks, but we're each other's dorks.
And also, I forgot to mention this yesterday, but it's something I wanted to share.
I have been an avid watcher of the TV show "At the Movies" since 2005. Since it's always on at 5:30 am where I am, I just watch my selected reviews online. I have watched it when Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper hosted it, when Roeper had guest hosts (when Ebert had thyroid surgery and lost his voice), when Michael Phillips became Roeper's permanent guest host, and when Ben Lyons (my main man in the world of movies) and Ben Mankiewicz became the hosts.
I just recently read online that beginning September 5th, Lyons and Mankiewicz will no longer host the show (after barely a year), and will instead be replaced by Michael Phillips and A.O. Scott. I personally have seen both of these guys host with Richard Roeper and I like both of them, but I am just very attached to Ben Lyons and Ben Mankiewicz because I usually agreed with what they had to say. And even if they didn't like a movie I wanted to see, sometimes I saw it anyway. Plus, I've had a crush on Ben Lyons since October 2008. I told him this via Twitter (in the sense that I thought he was amazing and have loved him since October), and he replied back saying thanks and that his birthday is in October (October 8th, to be specific). When I heard the news that he and Mank were no longer hosting, I sent him another Tweet saying that I was bummed out. He tweeted me again saying that he appreciated the kind words. And I know that it's really him Tweeting me because his account is verified. Judging from those two Tweets he sent me, he seems like a very nice person that I'd enjoy meeting someday.
So that's my big rant of the night. Any comments? Feel free to leave them. You DO NOT have to use blogger to comment!
Love y'all,

I was trying to fly but couldn't find wings, then you came along and changed everything.
Today was a mixture of amazing and horrible: got into bad fights with my parents (still don't know how I live with them! It's horrible!), but I figured out financial aid for school, got an iced coffee, re-connected with one of my closest friends, and watched the Teen Choice Awards.
I mentioned in an earlier blog about my friend Emily. She managed to re-connect with me and now we've been talking about everything. Our future, what's going on right now, and everything in between.
And I'm also getting re-hooked on this facebook game called "The Heist". You collect characters from TV shows, cartoons, movies, and even the lists of the sexiest people alive. My friend Max introduced me to it and I got permanently stuck on it, then kinda drifted away from it, and now I'm getting re-hooked.
And I also wrapped up chapter one of a fanfiction trilogy I am writing. The series is my David Archuleta "songfiction" series, and there are 3 stories. "I Drove All Night" is part one, and told the story of 3 best friends: Vanessa Keller, Devonne Hart, and Casey Jayne Cabot (played by Casey Carlson, Demi Lovato, and my friend Casey Jayne, respectively), who take a road trip from Minnesota to New York City so that Casey Jayne and, eventually, Vanessa can audition for a record deal. They pick up David Archuleta on the way, and have all sorts of adventures, plus Vanessa and David find time to fall in love.
Part 2, "Shut Up and Drive" will start soon. I have one other story I am going to update. And with this series, I try to include the song that inspired the title in the story. For example, "I Drove All Night", originally by Cyndi Lauper but covered by Celine Dion, is the song that Vanessa sings for her audition for the record deal. And then "Shut Up and Drive", a song by Rihanna, the characters will say that phrase to cab drivers who talk too much, and I'm considering having the characters rock out to that song at the end.
I always base my stories in trilogies. I have no idea why, but I just do. My first big trilogy was a series of stories I wrote with my great-aunt, then I have my David Archuleta songfiction trilogy, in which the first story is complete. My other David Archuleta trilogy is the Abby Gomez trilogy, which will be based on the first two "Scream" movies and the TV show "Harper's Island". So it's a horror/thriller/murder-mystery series. I am currently writing the first story, which is based on "Scream". I mentioned the story in an earlier blog and described the characters that survived the whole series. And my other trilogy I am working on is my Adam Lambert songfiction series. The first story is "So Close", and I'm working out the details of the second story, "If My Heard Had Wings". With this series, I use the song and the original artist. "So Close" is by Jennette McCurdy, and I cast her as the main character's best friend. So she'll be a main character in all 3 stories. And "If My Heart Had Wings" is by Faith Hill, and I cast her as the main character's mom. And then I figured since I'm using Faith Hill, I may as well use Tim McGraw, so I made him the main character's dad. This series is the love story of Jessica Wagner (Taylor Swift) and Adam Lambert (himself). And Jessica's best friend is Shelley Middleton (Jennette McCurdy), and they always stick together.
So that's my story about trilogies. Feel free to comment/elaborate/do whatever. And you DO NOT have to be a Blogger member to comment!
