I have volcano cred bitch!

Ever looked at William Beckett and thought "What a style idol! I want to copy his look!"?

Well, now you can!

So now we can consider William Beckett: Style Icon as a new persona for our favorite rockstar.

EDIT: If you need to know where to get these clothes, mouse on over here.

Seems to be the statement of my life lately.

I have writer's block, excluding crappy fanfics.

Maybe my little vacation in Clatskanie will help...

I just love doing these! They're so much fun!

Models are usually quite thin, even androgynous. And at times, America's Next Top Model can showcase that. It's last winners have the tiny little waists, yet aren't afraid to show off their "sexiness" (Cycle 1 winner, Adrianne Curry, took pictures of her getting sexy with a friend for her husband, Christopher Knight. His reception wasn't well, though, but that's beside the point.)
Full-figured models are rarely shown as sexy. When I flip through my mom's "curvy girl" magazines, the models are usually wearing clothes that cover them entirely, and when it comes to swimsuit season, full-figured models are hiding in one piece swim-suits, or tankinis.
I've been wondering for a while, where is the first full-figured model who will bravely don a bikini, model beside androgynous thinny-thin girls, who will be a sex bomb with real breasts? Cycle 10 winner of America's Next Top Model may be the answer.

For her Seventeen magazine interview, out of her 4 swimsuit shots, 3 of them are bikinis (One even Betsey Johnson!) and even said "When we'd watch the models walking the runway, everyone would say, 'They look pretty,' but I was like, 'They look hungry!'" and admitted, "I'm bigger than the other girls, but I'm not that big! I'm considered big in the modeling industry-which is really messed up!" but my favorite quote from the interview came when the interviewer asked her what she'd like to take on next, she declares:

"I want to do Victoria's Secret. I want to do Sports Illustrated-body modeling, where you usually see girls with huge implants and no appetite. I want to be on the cover and get big publicity. I don't want to do the catalog that my mom reads. No, I want to be the sex bomb next to Gisele [Bundchen]-not the girl where you're like, Oh, granny panties for sale."

I am hoping that next time I walk by Victoria's Secret in the mall, I see this girl in the ad for some fancy bra. I may just walk in and buy something if this happens.

Now if only they would let models at my height on the runway...

I'm not usually one who listens to mainstream music. Now that The Hills is over, I rarely watch MTV, I never listen to the radio unless I'm in my sister's car. When it comes to music, I'm stuck in my own little world. So, I'm going to post somewhat humourous thoughts on today's current hits. Here we go:

"Sneakernight" by Vanessa Hudgens
I get that we're going to dance, but isn't every night "sneakernight"? At least, for me.
By the way, cool light up shoes.
I'm guessing this whole thing was an advertisement for Sketchers.

"When I Grow Up" by The PussyCat Dolls
No Carmit? WTF?
Wearing sexy little outfits singing "when I grow up"? Are you trying to promote pedophilia?
Honestly, their voices are higly annoying in this song. They suck without Carmit.

"In The Ayer" by Flo Rida
"Ayer?" Don't you mean "Air"?
I am hearing some Fergie there, so can she be credited please?
I love that lyric, though. "Oh hot damn. This is my jam." Of course. You made the song.

"My Medicine" by Snoop Dogg
Why can I just see some old hicks siiting around going "Who the hell is this boy talking all fast-like about cowboys and why is Willie Nelson there?"
Aw...he told his wife for the whole world to here "Girl I love you..."! Could this be an end to all the "Bitch, get in my car!"s? It may...it may...

"Shut Up and Let Me Go" by the Ting Tings
Very dancey, it makes me want to shake my booty.
OMG DIAMONDS!
Where did that girl learn her moves? I want to talk to her combat teacher, now! I want to kick ass.
My only problem, is I'm not sure if I should be dancing to this, or kicking some guy's ass. I will gladly do both at the same time, though.

"I'm What It Is (Strike A Pose)" by Lil' Mama
I see you still haven't learned your grammar, dear.
Is it just me, or is she trying to sound all tough like the gangsters, but she's rapping about striking poses...er...wow. If she's going to sound tough, why doesn't she talk about shooting people?
Lil' Mama...yeah, it's not Juno's fault for making teen pregnancy "trendy" it's rapper names like Lil' Mama.
"She's on"? On what? "Now get on, girl"? Don't you mean get "off"...?

"Thunder" by Boys Like Girls
It honestly reminded me of Switchfoot in the beggining...and mentioning that makes me feel bad.
"Soundtrack of my summer"? Boy, you're on all my soundtracks to summer.
BRING ON THE THUNDER!
Yes, it's raining! And there's no umbrellas? And there's people making out in the rain? Aw... I thought Hilary Duff ruined rain in music videos with "Come Clean"
Martin Johnson is not only a lyrical genius, he is a lyrical genius who is quite attractive. Swoon...

"Foolish REMIX" by Shawty Lo
Shawty Lo? Blatant rip from "Low" by Flo Rida...I think that's him who sings it, right.
QUIT SHOUTING! I don't care if you "do it for the hos" or "for the streets", you're hurting my ears with all the shouting!
I'm guessing he smokes cigarettes, because his voice is so raspy, it sounds like he either has acid reflux or smokes from time to time. If you do have acid reflux, then just do what Ashlee did, dude. Lip it.
"Ladies love faster"? I don't know about that...

"Oxford Comma" by Vampire Weekend
I love the name. To be honest.
Quite slow for a band who has "vampire" in their name.
"Take the chapstick, put it on your lips"? Well, where was I supposed to put it?

That's all I got for now folks. I've bravely ventured into the world of mainstream music and have given you my thoughts. Now to go listen to some obscure indie band. Bye!

It's almost 3 AM and the night's alive, but I'm dead fucking bored.
I am suffering from Arizona Iced Tea withdrawal, but where is my precious tea? My tea is my crack, and I'll drink some that is coming out of my skin.

I once had faith in my female peers. Though they believe Edward Cullen is such a romantic man, they do have backbones, hobbies, don't let guys manipulate them, and try not to let their heartbreak bring others down.
Then my friend opened her mouth.
So he dumped you for some other girl? I've suffered it, a close friend of mine had her boyfriend cheat on her, it happens.
And you may have problems, but you know others have problems too. And others handle them differently. You obviously handle them by moaning about them for a month and have fantasies of meeting a rebound on vacation, and I deal with them by putting my feelings into song, poem, story, and/or listen to music to make me feel better. Music that tells me he ain't worth it and I should just bite my thumb and move on.
And dear, here's a tip from someone with just a little bit of expierence:
If you go looking for guys, they never come. Let the guys come to you.

I want to see the world, but what world is there to see?
As Sara has been warning, I feel WWIII coming up.

How is the word "sex" considered a subliminal message? Isn't a subliminal message supposed to tell you to do something? Maybe if it said "have sex" it would be a subliminal message, but "sex" is nothing. It could mean gender, or it could mean vaginal intercourse. Depends on how you feel.

My head hurts, my stomach is churning, and all I can think about it him. He has become an illness, and I need some cough syrup, please?

I hear my bed hearkening. I may answer it's call, I may not. Point is, I should wrap this up. I'm probably boring you guys, huh?

Shalom.

The Disney Channel has been leading everyone up to this. Arranging interviews, a special People magazine issue (not article, issue) dedicated the Jonas Brothers, even a countdown to the movie that started ticking 24 hours ago.

First, let's introduce the cast:
The Jonas Brothers-We all know.
Demi Lovato-Longtime BFF to Wizards of Waverly Place star Selena Gomez and star of mini-show As The Bell Rings
Alyson Stoner-You may recognize from Cheaper by the Dozen.
Meaghan Jette Martin-Was in one episode of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
Anna Maria Perez de Tagle-Plays a tone-deaf mean girl on Hannah Montana.
Jasmine Richards-Best friend to Sadie Hawthorne on Naturally Sadie.
Maria Canals Barrera-Mortal Latina mother on Wizards of Waverly Place.

Demi Lovato plays our heroine, Mitchie Torres, who hopes to rock the charts someday. Joe Jonas plays Shane Gray, a super-diva popstar, who rocks the chart with his band Connect Three, but has been having diva moments such as storming off set and cancelling tours, causing the band to drop him at the camp, in hopes to bring him back down to Earth. Meaghan Jette Martin plays the mean girl, Tess Tyler, who takes snippets from Sharpay Evans (in High School Musical), but who is neglected by her mother, giving you more of a sympathy for her. Alyson Stoner plays Caitlyn Geller, Mitchie's best friend who has a strong hatred for Tess, and aspires to be a producer. Jasmine Richards and Anna Maria Perez de Tagle plays Tess' sidekicks, Ella and Peggy. Maria Canals Barrera plays Connie Torres, a caterer who is the well-loved cook for Camp Rock.

It's obvious from the beginning that Mitchie strongly dislikes Shane for his attitude and music. Honestly, I dislike his attitude. But Mitchie quickly falls for Shane when she talks to him one-on-one and listens to his new music that he truly likes.
Although, Shane may be a total diva, but deeply underneath is a guy with a heart. However, Tess appears to have no heart, at all. Tess is also the leader of not only her crew, but the camp. Everyone (including her) finds her cool because her mom is Grammy-award winning (fictional) artist T.J. Tyler.

Mitchie brings out the good in Shane, and encourages him to play better music and straighten up his attitude. The film also gives us the new concept of "love at first sound" when Shane falls in love with Mitchie when he hears her practicing her song.

Mitchie can be compared to Gabriella from High School Musical, except Gabriella is much more outgoing, and Mitchie is much more sassy. I would say Gabriella would be a Disney Princess, and Mitchie would be the Disney Fairy. And just like Gabriella, when Mitchie starts hanging out with Shane, Tess gets jealous and finds information to conspire against Mitchie, as Sharpay would do to Gabriella.

To be honest, there is only one Jonas Brother actually "starring" in the movie, Joe, and his scenes consist of him being a jackass. The other brothers that appear remind me of Britney Spears' manager, Larry Rudolph, the way they force him to the camp to be brought back down to Earth.

Camp Rock somewhat resembles high school, in the way how everyone knows everything about everyone. Also, in total Cinderella in the way that when Shane looks for the girl "with the voice", he whispers it into one person's ear, and it spreads like the telephone game, and all the "maidens" frock to Shane and show off their pipes for him.

Unlike a lot of other teenage movies, this movie does give you a heart for the mean girl. You feel bad when you see Tess' mom neglect her.

The songs are actually quite good, I can stand to listen to them, but, they're not true show tunes, and resemble pop songs.

To be honest, I am liking Demi Lovato, she's got personality, and a nice voice. Although, for her sake, she should try slipping into her head voice. And The Jonas Brothers are better actors than performers, in my opinion.

The main Camp Instructor is clearly involved in the camp, loved by campers, clever, but not at all neutral, and prefers Mitchie over Tess.

The girls' characters do seem a tad recycled from other DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movies) and the plot can be a tad predictable at times. Actually, a lot typical.

Overall, the movie is better than I expected. While we have the stereotypical mean girl, and everyone at the camp has to have parents involved in music, it's nice that Mitchie and Caitlyn seem to have backbones. Camp Rock is like any newer Disney movie, but much more tolerable. I give this movie a B+. I prefer it over High School Musical, but I prefer Raise Your Voice over it.

I reccomend this to: Anyone who loves High School Musical, fans of The Jonas Brothers, fans of Raise Your Voice, and that's all I would highly reccomend it to.

Back again with more info on some of your favorite Warped Tour 2008 bands to help you not look like a loserface. This installment gives you the information on Four Year Strong, Against Me!, Every Avenue and The A.K.A.s. More.

Going to Warped Tour? You wouldn't want to look like a loserface in the educated crowds of these four bands when you go. Use this as your guide to look somewhat educated about bands you may check out yet have never heard. More.

My mom's friends always find it odd that I hang out more with guys than girls. In fact, my guy friends hardly ever notice that I am a girl, until I mention it (for example, they'll talk about their penis problems, and I'll just go, "Yeah, I can't relate really, I have a vagina) and I have a reason why.

Not all girls my age, but some I know, mainly talk about their romantic situations. And it gets rather annoying.
With my guy friends, whenever it comes to romance problems, they're just "Things aren't going so well." and then it's dropped.
And while at times it's nice to vent, when I'm with my guy friends, I can just forget about it.

Like right now, I sent a guy I like too much a letter, because he hasn't called me since two months ago when he moved. I sent it two days ago, and he only lives across the state. Wait, it is Sunday...
Anyways, I have a friend who right now only talks about Twilight and how her boyfriend broke up with her before summer, and she just acts like being single is a punishment, and constantly has her MSN Messenger header as some emo-ish quote like "How strong do you think I am?" or "Everything is different now..." I love her dearly, but come on! She's only in seventh grade, it's not like very many relationships last throughout the years during middle school. (I only heard of one relationship like that, and they broke up towards the beginning of ninth grade) And being single is no punishment. Dating somebody is no punishment. Being married is no punishment. Having a child is not a punishment. Nothing involving romance is a punishment. Period.
And this friend also keeps going "What went wrong?" even though her boyfriend apparently said "I just don't love you anymore." (Hello, your life is like Twilight right now, shouldn't you be happy? Next some Indian kid'll fall for you, then he'll come back, and you'll have them brawling for you. You'll live.) Whereas a really close guy friend of mine expierenced a break-up with his longtime girlfriend. He did talk more about it than the usual "Not so good." but he could admit that "our relationship was about nothing but sex." and cheered himself up by saying "Hey, I'm single now!" as we all cheered and whooped to make him feel better.
With my romantic troubles, it definetely sucks to hear other people go "Well...blah blah blah blah blah..." so guess what friends I want to talk to right now?

However, my best girl friend, and a few rare but existent girl friends are not this way. My best girl friend has a boyfriend who can be a bit jackassy (Can't you tell I hate him?) but she'll just say what's going on, I agree with her, then we move on to something else, and she can tell me honestly when I talk too much about him.

Whenever I talk with the majority of my gal pals, it's always about some new romantic situation. With my guy friends, it's usually about music and politics. We'll make plans for the summer (WARPED TOUR!) and fun weekend happenings. Hm...sounds great, huh?

Also, girls can be so freaking catty, sometimes without even realizing it.
Like my certain "friend" who I told at the beginning of the year that I liked a guy...let's call him Will. Then, towards the end of first semester, she started talking to him, along with a least liked girl...let's call her Faith. She said she liked him, and she kept flirting with him and such. Did break my heart, but I shrugged it off my shoulders. Then Faith, who also liked him, would tell my friend about how he said he "loved" her and "watnted to be with" her, even though it was fake. My friend got pissed and said, "And she knows I like him, but she always talks about what he supposedly does with her, trying to make me feel bad." and I had the hugest urge to just come back with "Swallowing your own shit. Doesn't taste so good, huh?" because she's always going on about the same stuff, and it just hurts me so bad. However, that would be rude to point that out, and also, we were in class at the time, sitting in the front row, and our teacher isn't so cool with the word "shit", but it did show how she was being a tad hypocritical.
And here I go, ranting about my romantic problems again.

Also, main reason, my guy friends can just laugh at themselves.
One time, my friends Justin, Taco and I were racing the carts for handicapped people around WinCo (Justin cheated by throwing the bread rack at us) and then when we were caught and asked to put them back, we did politely, until I lost control of the cart. I accidentally backed it into the door, and it broke completely. Not into like a million pieces, but it fell out of its socket. The worker put it back, and I felt a tad embarassed. Until Justin and Taco said, "Don't be humiliated, it was totally funny!" and I had a brighter outlook on the situation. It was funny! Just so freaking funny! Something sitcoms are severely lacking these days. (Sorry for the arrogance, there...)
Now, knowing my gal pals, first, they would not have gone for the cart racing around the store. They would whine "It's so stupid!" and if I had backed into the door and broken it, they would've kept going "You idiot! How could you have done that?" and a certain one of them would hit me in the head, which irritates the fuck out of me. (I think I even screamed at her once for doing that. But it does get on my nerves to be hit in the head. Jokingly hit me in the arm, leg, torso, whatever. But hit me in the head, even as a joke, and I'm pissed off.) And they would've tried to walk away from me, acting like they didn't know me.
Gee, which sounds more fun?

And this all felt so good to get off my chest. Oh, sweet Jesus.
Thank you all for reading this. You guys rawk! *hold up devil horns* "ROCK ON!"
Shalom.
Brittany

DISCLAIMER: If I had hurt anybody's feelings, offended anybody, I am entirely sorry. That was not my intention. My intention was to get this fucking monkey off my back. And now that it's off, I feel so much better.

Now that I have put my feelings out, I am going to try and forget Will by scheduling some fun happenings with my buds. Making the most of summer while not worrying about him. Possible? I think so.

You know what this is about? Right?

Recently, while at Fred Meyer's, I was in the Books and Magazine section, browsing periodicals, seeing if I wanted any.
I opened a J-14, which is a tween magazine focused on Hannah Montana and Paris Hilton (though they once had William Beckett as their "Hottie of the Month"!!!!! (except he's hottie of the millennium!) where he talked about his high school years and such.)
I looked at the section "Feuds of the Month" and saw Hannah Montana's Emily Osment vs. The Jonas Brothers.
Here's what went down:


When recently talking about "signing her life away" to Disney, she mentioned, "The Jonas Brothers are great guys, but I just don't like their music."

She countinued saying she was more of a fan of bands like Radiohead, and her music icon is John Lennon.

J-14, from what I read, made it seem like she bitchslapped them with words, exclaiming "Gasp!" and calling it a "personal slam."

The thing is, J-14, she did not personally slam them. She said they were great guys, but she just wasn't that into their music. If she had said something like "The Jonas Brothers are a bunch of fucktarts, and they're music sounds like monkeys screeching."*, that would be a personal slam.
She just basically said that they were cool guys to be around, but she wasn't into their music, rather Radiohead. She has every right to like her own type of music.

I haven't met the Jonas Brothers (unlike her, who was in an episode with them.), but they might be, like she said, great guys. But I'm not a big fan of their music.
If I were a child star signed to Disney, I would feel the same way. Except I would say I was more into "The Academy Is..., The Fall Of Troy, All Time Low, Cobra Starship, that stuff. I would have sex with William Beckett and Nate Navarro. I also have a girl crush on Victoria Asher.", even though that would be severely edited.

Emily Osment may be signed to Disney for the next few years, maybe more, but she has every right to headbang to Radiohead over JoBros.

Hey, maybe I'm taking this out of proportion. Oh well. Passed the time, eh?

*I, nor Emily Osment, actually believe this or would it spill out of our mouths. Their music doesn't sound like monkeys screeching, but whoever is the lead singer, in my opinion, needs to stop impersonating Patrick Stump. I'm sorry, just stop. It gives me a headache.

DISLCLAIMER: This journal is basically about high-school cliques, so it's all going to sound like a bunch of bull shit. You no like? Sorry.
And I may just be hypocritical for constantly classifying people in this. I am terribly sorry. But this had to be said.

Ever since middle school, there was always the distinction between three different cliques: The "goths" (unfortunately, I was with that clique *gags*) the "wannabes" and the "preps".

The preps were always the ones who recieved straight As, participated in any after-school activity they could get their hands on, always generally happy, and, no surprise, popular.

I have a few problems with this "preppy" label.

Firstly, preps don't neccessarily wear mini skirts and spaghetti strap tank tops. A prep is actually someone who wears argyle, gets excellent grades, and their primary focus is doing their best in school, and may or not be popular. Think Casey McDonald from the Candian family television show, Life With Derek:

The preps that my classmates define are wouldn't what I consider preppy. Just average, popular girls.

What today's "preps" are classified to look like.

Another problem I have with the label "preps" is how stupid it seems.

My classmates that would hate on "preps" and others who share the hate all say the following reasons why they hate them:
"They're so perky all the time!"
"They're all a bunch of catty bitches!"
"They don't accept any differences."
Let me dissect these reasons one-by-one:

Of course they're perky. As cheerleaders, they have to put on a big, spirited front for all. But just like you, underneath, they're having problems. Their parents could be divorcing. They have body issues. Their friends are stabbing them in the back. Their boyfriend has broken-up with them. They have gotten an unfair test grade. They have problems just like you. And while they may be smiling on the outside, inside, they're probably hurting. Just like you.

Yes, some "preps" are catty. Some "smartie-pants" are catty. Some of the "edgy" kids are catty. Some "gangsters" are catty. People can be catty period. Not just one clique.
And let me counter:
My Honors-English class this year was chock full of so-called "preps", and they were all very nice. We would talk like normal people, and they didn't turn around and steal my boyfriend.

Actually, a lot of preps are very accepting of differences.
One time, in my science class, when I was exclaiming to my friend about how excited I was for The Academy Is... to be on TRL, a "preppy" girl behind me asked me questions about them, and wondered what video of theirs she should see. She seemed generally interested in TAI.
The "preps" I am in contact with are actually quite accepting of differences. They know I don't listen to the same music as them, watch the same television shows, same movies, dress differently than them, and have different beliefs from them. They not only talked to me, but they talked to me as if I was a person. Not just a "freak of nature" who listened to "weird music." They also seemed, at times, interested in my type of music, or my TV shows.
Overall, they are very accepting differences.

And of course, the biggest hypocritical statement of all:
"They classify people into labels."
Calling them "preps" is the same principle. You are classifying them as a "prep" and you don't even know them. Ouch, hurts, huh?
And, in high school, everyone uses labels. That's just how it is.
Cliques help keep an "order" in the school. It helps them meet new people if they see that someone is dressed similar to them. As shallow as it sounds, that's how it is.
Everyone I know uses those labels. If my friends and I are describing someone to another person, we'll say something like "Blonde hair, blue eyes, sort of punkish..." because that can kind of help. As much as I can't stand labels, they're just a fact of life. I can't change it anytime soon, but I'm not going to care what people label me.

And honestly, a lot of band members date "preps" too.
Prime example?
blink-182 and +44 member Travis Barker and his (what's their status now? Married again? Dating? Not dating? whatever...) Shanna Moakler.

She was a pageant queen. He has more art on him than a mural. And, they work(ed).
I could name so many other couples, but I just can't think at the top of my head right now.

A lot of people like differences. Some girls who earn straight As want a bad boy. Some gangster girls want a guy who is in some screamo band.

I do not want someone entirely different from me, but my friends (who are usually classified as "edgy", "punk rock", "gothic", etc.) and I hate dating inside our clique. It only goes to drama.
So of course the guys date preppy girls. I like guys who are just "quirky". You can't classify them, and they do things entirely different from the norm. My current crush was engaged in high school.

Point is, do you really think you're favorite band agrees with you on the whole "prep" thing? I doubt it. I don't think I can see Pete Wentz bitching about "preps" and how he wishes they'd all "go die."

And pink is not a "prep" color.
Right now, I have a pink Dear by Amanda Bynes tank top on with hot pink nail polish. Does that make me a prep?

So, in conclusion my peers, next time you say "I hate preps!", try talking to them, seeing that they are just like you, just dressed in different clothes and listening to different music. I garuntee, you may just change your mind.

This would be my first entry in the Project Beautiful: Warts and All all about physical appearance. This can get vain, and then it can get stupid. Bear with me...

That's a recent one of me eating an OtterPop in the beautiful sunshine in my backyard.

Let's start at the top, shall we?

My Hair
I love my hair. Right now, I need to get my roots done, but I still love my hair. My sister constantly bitches to me about how "greasy" it looks, but I could care less.
My hair actually feels very soft, and my hair has been best ever since I got it cut and died. My hair used to reach my armpit. Now it lightly brushes against my shoulder, with half of it blond, half of it my natural brunette-ness.
I just use the standard shampoo, conditioner, and straight-iron every other day. But I'm not as blessed as William Beckett in the hair department.

My Nose
While today's culture frowns upon big noses, I don't. In fact, I'm beginning to make peace with it.
When I was younger, I would always rub my hand against my nose, which caused a nice little wrinkle on it, and sticks up more snout-like. But, eh, that's my fault. And the wrinkle complements my nose well.
Also, one thing I've noticed is how different my nose makes me look. I may be stealing from Ashlee Simpson, but I'm serious when I say this: My nose has character.

Old picture where my nose takes up a quarter of the picture.

My Eyes
I have blue eyes, and I am also fond of them. I just love the color of my eyes.
However, I'm not all that in love with my shape of my eyes. Ah well. You win some, you lose some.

My Lips
They may never rival Angelina Jolie, but they are still big. A few girls once called them "Dick-Sucking Lips", but firstly, I hate how oral sex is an insult, and two, lips are just lips.
All societal beliefs aside, I have nice full lips. Thy're pouty, full-of-life, and I feel lucky to have them.

However...
My Smile
God, I hate my smile. It looks so cheesy and forced.

And my teeth are yellow beyond belief.
My smile always look like I'm faking my happiness. Sometimes I am. Sometimes I'm not. I wish my smile would just work with me.

My Breasts
Some may find it awkward for me to be talking about my breasts, but they're my body, it's my page, so I don't care.
I hate my breasts. They're triangular, small, and sensitive to EVERYTHING!
My mom keeps telling me I'm a "late-bloomer", but I don't believe it.
I have thought about a breast augmentation when I'm older, but as of now, I'd only get one if these twins ever went past a C-cup. That's as big as I want them.

My Stomach
I still have babyfat that I am working hard to get rid of it. I hate my babyfat. A lot.

My Ass
It's a family thing. My Grandma has the ass. My mom has the ass. My sister has the ass. I have the ass.
It's not like Kim Kardashian or JLo, but it still looks nice.
I have a nice ass and I'm not afraid to say it. It is one of my favorite body parts, whether you like it or not.

My Legs
My dad had nice legs, and I have nice legs.
For being 5'2, I have quite nice legs.
From playing outside since I came out of the womb, I have cuts and scrapes all over, which makes my legs even more attractive. My legs, my legs, how I love thee.

My Feet
When I was in first grade. I had to get stitches on my big toe on my right foot. How? Er...I stepped on a piece of broken glass. Yeah, I feel ashamed for admitting it. God, I need to stop complaining about Bella klutziness, it's kind of hypocritical.
That's all I can really say about my two lovelies.

My Skin
I am not blessed with good skin.
I am currently pale, with giant red spot on my face from popping my zits.
I don't have as bad of acne as my brother, but it is pretty bad.
I always get huge honkers on the most visible and tough parts of my face right before and during my period. I have slather on the concealer (which won't work) while I wait for the correct time to pop it, and it then remains a red mark until two menstruation cycles later. Ah...damn it.
The only make-up I ever wear is concealer, something for my lips, and mascara. Loads of mascara. I also have this thing that's supposed to make you look more wide awake, which works like a heaven-sent to me. On special occasions, I put on eye shadow. I can never put on eyeliner. I'm just cursed that way.

Thank you guys for reading this. I'm sorry it got a tad vain at times.
Shalom.

According to this, Adam Lazzara and his new wife are expecting a child.

Now, according to some tweenies, a band breaks up when one member gets married and reproduces, so, well...go on, rant on and on.
Oh wait, so the rule only applies to Pete Wentz because he's married to Assle Simpson? And she's only using him for fame?

See, I'm glad there's going to be a mini-Adam Lazzara. You guys should be happy there's a mini-Pete Wentz closer to your age.

DISCLAIMER: You guys know I don't actually believe TBS is coming to an end because Adam Lazzara got married and is having a child, right? I'm much more mature than that. This is pure humor.

So, shocker here, but I really like a certain someone. His name is Will. He's five-years older than me.
I first met him at the begining of the year in my computer class. I was a timid freshman in a class packed with upperclassmen. I had no password, so I couldn't even do my work. I decided to take this opportunity to do my homework. I shook as I saw "KKK" etched on my desk. I looked over the seat next to me to see a cute boy, chewing on his pencil. He looked up, I looked away. This pattern continued for the remainder of the period.
A few days later, I happily walked into the room, as he asked, "How are you today?". Shocked, I pointed at myself and asked, "Me?" he nodded his head as I replied, "Good, you?" and he said he was doing good, too. His voice was just so sweet. I logged on on my computer. Then, the girl next to me called the teacher "My screen is upside down!" as the class gathered to think of a way to fix it, he came up, explained what was wrong, fixed it, and then smiled at me. After class, he introduced himself to me.
For the remainder of the semester, we talked to each other towards the end of class, about everything. Music, Buzznet (for realz), class, and (gulp) relationships. He didn't even notice me, but then he did. It confused me heavily.
At the end of first semester, he graduated, and left the school. I wondered what would've happened if I told him I liked him. I took it like a bullet to the head.
A month later, I saw him in the front of the school, smiling, explaining he had to come back to do his senior project, still. He kept coming back to the school, and we'd talked for a tad. We exchanged phone numbers, and kept in touch.
His last day, I followed him around like a dog on a leash. When he finally left to go home, we hugged for the last time, tight. He swore he'd call. He has yet to. But that doesn't matter. I'll send him a letter, and maybe he might call. Or he might not.

Okay, enough with the sappiness. Now for the dedications:

"Head Over Heels" by The Go-Gos
This is how I get everytime I look at you, talk to you, etc.

Been running so long
I've nearly lost all track of time
In every direction
I couldn't see the warning signs
I must be losin' it
'cuz my mind plays tricks on me
It looked so easy
But you know looks sometimes deceive

Been running so fast
Right from the starting line
No more connections
I don't need any more advice
One hand's just reaching out
And one's just hangin' on
It seems my weaknesses
Just keep going strong

Chorus
Head over heels
Where should i go
Can't stop myself
Outta control
Head over heels
No time to think
Looks like
The whole world's out of sync

Been running so hard
When what i need is to unwind
The voice of reason
Is one i left so far behind
I waited so long
So long to play this part
And just remembered
That i'd forgotten about my heart

Chorus

"Ever Fallen In Love" by Pete Yorn
Again, how you always make me feel.

You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I’m hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
And that’s worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with

I can’t see much of a future
Unless we find out what’s to blame
What a shame
And we won’t be together much longer
Unless we realize that we are the same

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with

You disturb my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I’m hurt
And if I start a commotion
I’ll only end up losing you
And that’s worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with
Fallen in love with
Ever fallen in love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with

Unfortunately, there is no audio to the song I could find. But if you must hear it, you can hear it in Shrek 2 when they're stealing the potion from Fairy GodMother.

"Everything We Had" by The Academy Is...
You remember me telling you they're my favorite band and I can't wait to see 'em at Warped? Well, if you weren't paying attention, I couldn't do a playlist without them on it. This is how I felt once you *sniff sniff* left for Kennewick.

You were the only face I'd ever known
I was the light from the lamp on the floor
And only as bright as you wanted me to be

I am no gentleman
I can be a prick
And I do regret more than I admit

You have been followed
Back to the same place I
Sat with you drink for drink
Take the pain out of love and then love won't exist

Everything we had
Everything we had
Everything we had
Everything we had
Is no longer there

It was the only place I'd ever known
Turn off the light on my way out the door
I will be watching wherever you go
Through the eyes of a fly on the wall

You have been followed
Back to the same place I
Sat with you drink for drink
Take the pain out of love and then love won't exist

Everything we had
Everything we had
Everything we had
Everything we had
Oh, is no longer there, longer there

Well you saw for yourself
The way it played out
For you I am blinded
For you I am blinded
For you

I am no gentleman
I can be a prick
And I do regret more than I admit

You have been followed
Back to the same place I
Sat with you drink for drink
Take the pain out of love and then love won't exist

Everything we had (You have been followed)
Everything we had (You have been followed)
Everything we had (You have been followed)
Everything we had (You have been followed)
Everything we had (You have been followed)
Everything we had (You have been followed)
Everything we had (You have been followed)

I'll be with you wherever you go
Through the eyes of a fly on the wall

"Sweet Sacrifice" by Evanescence
Remember when I grabbed your iPod and looked at all the music you had, and saw you had Evanescence? And remember how we both had a strange love of vampires? Well, in an odd way, this song reminds me of vampires (no idea why), so here you go:

It's true, we're all a little insane.
But it's so clear,
Now that I'm unchained.

Fear is only in our minds,
Taking over all the time.
Fear is only in our minds but it's taking over all the time.

You poor sweet innocent thing.
Dry your eyes and testify.
You know you live to break me. Don't deny.
Sweet sacrifice.

One day I'm gonna forget your name,
And one sweet day, you're gonna drown in my lost pain.

Fear is only in our minds,
Taking over all the time.
Fear is only in our minds but it's taking over all the time.

You poor sweet innocent thing.
Dry your eyes and testify.
And oh you love to hate me don't you, honey?
I'm your sacrifice.

(I dream in darkness
I sleep to die,
Erase the silence,
Erase my life,
Our burning ashes
Blacken the day,
A world of nothingness,
Blow me away.)

Do you wonder why you hate?
Are you still too weak to survive your mistakes?

You poor sweet innocent thing.
Dry your eyes and testify.
You know you live to break me.
Don't deny.
Sweet sacrifice.

"Honey" by The Hush Sound
I am honestly just a sucker for you.

Catch That Kid was a children's movie back in 2004, about a girl named Maddy who is obsessed with climbing. Years earlier, her dad fell 100 ft. in a mountain climbing accident, which paralyzed him from the neck down. There is an operation to fix this, but her family lacks the money. So her and her two friends, Austin and Gus, embark on an adventure to break into a high-tech vault designed by Maddy's mom, steal the money and pay for the operation. The vault is suspended 100 ft in the air, so Maddy must climb to the vault (no duh!) and her friends use their computer skillz to break into the high-tech vault.

The cast included Kristen Stewart as Maddy, Corbin Bleu as her friend Austin (yes, he did have the fro) and Max Thieriot as her other friend, Gus. Her mom, Molly, was played by Jennifer Beals, and her paralyzed dad, Tom, was played by Sam Robards.

Ever since 2004, here is what has happened to the cast:

Sam Robards currently has a recurring role on Gossip Girl as Howie "The Captain" Archibald, Nate Archibald's father with a cocaine addiction. He has also had appearances on Sex and the City, Law & Order and Law & Order: Criminal Intent. To see what else the hell Sam is up to now, click here.

Jennifer Beals is Bette Porter on the drama series The L Word, as the only actress to not be nude on the show, and had a starring role in crapquel The Grudge 2. Jennifer is also friends with Quentin Tarrantino, and has a daughter with Canadian entrepeneur, Ken Dixon. To see what else she's been up to, go here.

Max Thieriot was in 2005's The Pacifier as the son, Seth, who was in The Sound of Music as Ralph, an Austrian soldier who later turns himself over to the Nazis. He was also in the destroyer of book series movie, Nancy Drew, with Emma "Douchebag" Roberts. He is also the younger version of Hayden Christensen's character in the recent Jumper, and Will Sheppard/Charlie Kittredge in the upcoming Kit Kittredge: An American Girl. He also replaced Dennis Hopper's son in Wes Craven's 25/8. To see what else this Nazi hobo is up to, go right here.

Corbin Bleu has since played Nathan McHugh on Flight 29 Down, and got his recent breakthrough with the High School Musical movies as Chad Danforth, friend of Troy Bolton, and had a small role in Hannah Montana as Johnny Collins, Miley Stewart's crush, a cameo in Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide as a boy named "Spencer", and Isidore "Izzy" Daniels, a boxer/jumproper in the TV movie Jump In! If you want to learn more about what the froed out singer/dancer is up to, just point your fro here.

Since Catch That Kid, Kristen Stewart has been in plenty more releases. She played Lisa in Zathura, a prequel to Jumanji. She was also in the romantic comedy, In The Land Of Women, as Lucy Hardwicke, Sarah's elder teenaged daughter, who makes out with a 28-year-old Adam Brody. And who can forget her role in Into the Wild, which she played Tracy Tatro. She had a cameo with her fellow former costar Max Thieriot in Jumper, as Sophie. She is currently starring in the much-anticipated, dazzling, virtuous movie, Twilight, as heroine Isabella Swan, a supposed bookish girl who falls in love with a vampire who isn't into stealing virtues, cuts brakes because he loves his mortal, and is jealous of a werewolf whom she also wants to bang. Want to know what the future favorite push-over is up to? Dazzle on over here.

I must rant all the time, mustn't I? Oh well, passes the time and improves my writing.

DISCLAIMER: This is a rant. I spare no feelings. And though the mods may be gone, I will be monitoring your comments, if you say something I feel is out of line. Keep everything peaceful here. Please and thank you.

I have many friends who are waiting until marriage to have sex. While I do respect their decision and support them, it's just not for me. Oh well, we differ on that opinion. You're still awesome, fun to talk to, and I trust you.
However, it annoys me when people who do make that decision feel that since they've made that decision, everyone else has to make that decision. That is what I'd call a Donna Martin. All popculture jokes aside, it annoys me very much.

I will admit that I am a virgin. I am not ashamed of it, and I am not proud of it. My sex, my business.
Everyone knows I highly believe in educating teenagers as much as they'll need about sex. In fact, Angel and I run the Sex Ed group to help educate people as much as we can about sex. If haven't joined yet, do it! 
Now, that we're done with pop culture jokes and promotion, let's go back to our topic.
One thing I say as a "Sex Ed teacher" is if you want to know when it is all right to have sex, and I'll say this to you: Whenever you feel it is right, whenever you feel it is okay. If you want to wait until marriage, great. If you want to have sex right now as a teenager, great, just don't forget to use protection. If you want to wait until you're in a serious relationship, great. If you want to wait until you're at the age of consent, great, just remember to use protection if it will be casual. Your body, your decision. Don't let anyone (well, besides your parents, perhaps, but once you move out, you can be your own person and do what you want.) tell you that you must make this decision.

And the people that think they're waiting until marriage, so everybody else must, they will complain about people who that think since they smoke pot, everyone else must, you're doing the same thing. You may not realize it, but you are.

One time, when I was complaining in class about how theere's barely any sex education at the school, as I said "All they taught us in middle school was the basics and AIDS." as a girl near me scoffed "Good." I asked her curiously "Why would you say that?" and she said, "Well, I'm saving myself for marriage, that's what you should do, so that's all you need." I just so badly say to her, "I respect your opinion, however, I do disagree with it." and end it there. Of course, I just ended it there and moved on.

I have a friend who's a complete conservative (his catchphrase this election? "Obama is the anti-Christ.") and once, while a couple of friends and I had another heated political discussion, he proclaimed, and I quote: "Everyone may not be the same religion, but they have to follow the Bible anyways." as my Democratic friend and I looked at him and said, "That is un-Constitutional." Which in fact, it is. The first ammendment of the Bill of Rights gives Americans the freedom of religion, speech, press, petition, and assembly.
Even though we highly disagree there, he is still a good friend of mine. I respect his opinion, but I disagree with him.
What's the difference between disagreeing and respecting an opinion and being a jackass about an opinion?
Respecting his opinion, I do not constantly remind him that he's wrong, or harass him about his opinion, as in going up to him and asking "Hey Brady, still being un-Constitutional today?". If I was going to disrespectful towards his opinion, well, I would do that.

Yes, I may be disrespectful for posting a whole journal about how I disagree with these people's opinion, but I still respect their opinion and they're right to it. But I, however, am pointing out how it annoys me, and stating how it's not right for them to force it on anyone else.

However, I should be condemned for rambling.

In conclusion, we all have a right to our opinions and religion, but we have no right to force it on anyone else. And while your decision may work for you, it may not work for others. And you are not everybody.
