So Yeah...

There's so many things I could be writing about right now, so many things have been happening in my life right now(like my new house is finally here!), but I want to write something about one of the number one things that matters to me in life; music.

You guys probably know if you've read one or two of my posts that I'm one of the biggest music geeks you'll ever meet. It is one of the most importaunt things in my life, and I thought I would make a post trying to explain my love for it...let's see now...

Music helps me because there's songs for every mood I'm in, or every mood I wanna be in. Sometimes hearing one song can make my whole day brighter, or maybe a song could bring back a memory, good or bad, and get me thinking about things I haven't thought about in a long time. Music really is my therapy. Writing music is also my therapy, writing a song about something I'm feeling can make me feel so much better about a situation. I've never been the type to talk about my feelings, I write songs about them instead. I rarely share them with anyone, but it makes me feel so much better just penning them.

A lot of people probably consider me a dork for the way I am about music. I could listen to music all day. I tend to get lost in music for hours, I love to listen to a song and tune in just to one instrument or synth and I could occupy myself doing that for who knows how long. I guess I'm not exactly normal; rather than going to a party, I would choose staying home and listening to music, talking about music, or making music. I'm the type of girl that decided from an early age that music just had to be my career one day. When I was little I dreamt of being a rockstar, being only 10 I honestly believed I would be one someday. Now, I would still give anything to have a career in music, but I now know the very little chances of that happening. I still dream of being a professional musician, especially when I'm at a concert. Being at a concert is just such an incredible rush that I couldn't imagine being able to do it every night, bringing joy and precious memories to fans every night. I would give anything to be able to do that. I know that I will most likely never be a famous singer, but I can only hope that at some point I will have some kind of career in music, no matter if it's being a writer, producer, manager, interviewer, even a janitor at a venue! I just want to, and have always wanted to, be around music.

A lot of people don't understand why I'm so excited when I meet some of my favorite bands, some that aren't even huge yet. To me, I don't enjoy meeting them and getting the chance to talk with them because of how famous they are, I love meeting them because of how much their music has done for me. I don't think some of the bands I've met could ever understand how much of an inspiration their music is to me, but it is an honour to be able to have met some of my musical influences, and I will do anything I can to meet as many of them as I can. If I can't have a career in music, I wanna be around the people that are as much as possible. Most people don't understand my passion for music, so it is really great to be around people that do understand me and don't think I'm crazy for it.

Even if I'm never famous for singing, I'm never gonna stop singing and writing songs.

La La La, Whatever

Hello there.I'm getting tired of saying "wow, it's been so long since I've posted!". Blogging just hasn't been at the top of my list of priorities, I suppose. Life has been busy for me, as usual.


We are still in the proccess of moving. Our property is in the midst of being cleared, and the house will be moved over this Monday if everything goes accordingly. I'm so excited! I have everything I need for my new room. I'm going to paint it lime green, and it's going to have a retro feel to it, with lots of bright colors and peace signs! The house is a five bedroom, I'm not sure if I've said a lot about it yet, but it's the biggest place our family has ever owned. It also has two living rooms, one in which we will make our famous game room that we had at our other house. It has a nice kitchen, which is something my mom has been deprived of in the past year we've been living with my grandparents; they're kitchen is not very nice to say the least.

This year has been so much better than last year for our family. Last year was super confusing and I was never really sure of anything at any time. We first moved in with our grandparents and then rented a house in North Carolina, so I am so grateful to finally be able to have a house of our own, that no one can take away from us.

Besides all this house business, I have been, as usual,spending a lot of time in Orlando. I have several friends that have Disney passes now, so it's been a lot of fun to hang out there. We've been going to the Disney waterparks (Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach) a lot, and will be going even more since summer has started and we will be blocked out until August. Me and my friend went on America's tallest waterslide, Summit Plummit, a few weeks ago, it's very, very, huge! It's a little intimidating when you are standing at the top looking down. I prefer to not look down as I'm pushing off, because it's basically so steep that you're kinda falling at the first part, and it slowly starts to angle and slow down. It's a rush! They have so many fun slides at both of the parks! I'd strongly reccommend trying them all if you're planning on going.


I'm really excited for this summer, especially August, because I will be seeing Big Time Rush for the first time, and Allstar Weekend for the fourth time! I really can't wait, I sometimes say concerts are my drug because I can't get enough of them, and if I go too long without them, I get depressed.


Have a great day/week/month!

I'm So Exited!

I just bought tickets to see Big Time Rush on their Big time Summer Tour this August!!

I am so happy because I've never seen Big Time Rush in concert before! Mina will be going with me, and hopefully a few friends will buy some tix too :)

Long Time, No Post

Why, hello there Blogger. It's been awhile. I'm not going to say I'm sorry, because I'm not sure that anyone actually cares, and plus, I have been in the middle of a lot of stuff lately...so yeah.

I'm actually here to promote my friends/my favorite band Kicking Daisies. If you didn't know, they just went through a lot of changes, two members left the band and two members just joined. But, what I'm here to tell you about is their new single, Bows & Arrows. It is an amazing, amazing, amazing song, and is definitely one of my favorites of theirs so far. I just wanted to tell you guys about it, so even if you have never listened to them, or maybe listened to them and didn't care for them, you would give this song a listen, because it is so different from anything they have done, and I am absolutely in love with it. Click here!

Sorry to advertise here, I usually try to refrain from doing that, but I am a writer for Kicking Daisies Fan Blog, and I'm always trying to get the word out :)

Good News...

My parents bought some property! And the best part? It's in Nobleton!

We've been looking for places for awhile, but we just now officially bought a lot, only a few blocks from where we are now! We spent today getting the deed, and looking at manafactured homes to put on it(because it's empty.)

I'm so excited to see what kind of a place we find! The good thing about getting a manafactured home is you can pick exactly which one you want to put on your property!

This has just been a quick update, more news and pics coming soon!!!

Early Birthday Celebration...

So, my sis Mina's birthday is coming up in about 12 days, I believe, she will be 14. So, I decided to get her a present early.

Yesterday, I woke up and started browsing the internet on my phone, and saw that OneRepublic (a really cool band) were going to play that night at the Orlando House of Blues(where we saw Allstar Weekend) and I sorta flipped. I told Mina, and after my dad agreed to drive us there, I decided to take Mina to it for her birthday.

When we got there, there was only 1 ticket left, and we were really disappointed, but we came back a half an hour before the show, and found someone that was selling tickets, so we bought them and got in just in time!

Since it was sold out, the place was PACKED! But we managed to get a really good spot right above the pit.

The concert was SO GOOD! I wasn't sure what to expect because I had never seen them in concert before, but I can tell you it was really worth the money I spent, they are such an amazing band in the way that they are so different than regular rock bands. They actually perform with a cello and a violin player, so it's a really cool concert experience.

Here are some pictures Mina took:

 

I would recommend their show for just about anyone, the would appeal to so many different kinds of people.I took this video of their performance of "Everybody Love's Me", which was the first song in their set, check it out, click here!

Just What's Up

1. Today I'm hanging out with Jason, Tami, Lee, Shanlie, Mom, Dad, and Mina for St. Patricks Day. We went out to eat at Wendy's, played DJ Hero at my house, now we're hanging out at Jason's, eating, browsing the internet, and watching The Lion King. :)

2. I've been doing a lot of kayaking lately. (Well, I always do, but I've been doing even MORE.) It's so much fun! I go with Mina and we paddle to the boat ramp and go swimming :)

3. Speaking of kayaking, me and Mina are supposed to go for a kayaking trip with our friend Mason tomorrow. Can't wait. :)

4.The Flower and Garden Festival has been going on at Epcot. It's so pretty! They have lot's of cool plant displays.

5. I've been drinking lot's of Sierra Mist Natural lately. It's SO good and refreshing! Have any of ya'll ever had it?

That's all I got for today ;) What's up with you guys? I'd love to know, so COMMENT:)

I Promised An Exciting Post

...and oh boy do I have one!

Yesterday(the day of the Allstar Weekend/Before You Exit/The After Party/Hollywood Ending concert) was AMAZING! We met some amazing new friends, met some amazing bands, and something I've only ever dreamed of happening happened. Read on.


I'll try my best to start from the beginning and go from there.

The concert was to be at the House of Blues in Downtown Disney at 6:00pm. Me and Mina arrived at 12:00 pm. We are very dedicated and we wanted to be first in line and also hoped to run into some band members :)

We met some really awesome friends in line so we weren't bored the first couple hours!

Coming early paid off, because we found Tyler from Hollywood Ending! He was so cute, and this is such a pretty picture :)

A couple hours later, we found Chris from Hollywood Ending! He was SO SWEET! As soon as we said hi, he ran up and hugged us, and kept hugging us and thanking us over and over! He has such a cute British accent, and pretty blue eyes, unfortunately he blinked for the picture :P (Love the Florida shirt too;)

After a few more hour, and a lot more new friends later, it was time to go in the venue for the concert! It was an amazing place for a concert! Me and Mina went to the pit(the best place to be most obviously, haha) and we were SO close to the stage. Being first in line definitely paid off ;)

The After Party were first, and they  came on a few minutes after 6:00pm. Here are a few pictures from their set:

They were so good! Kenny(the singer) has moves! Hee hee ;)
                   
                                        Next was Hollywood Ending, here's a few of their performance:

They were amazing! Dan killed it on guitar and Cameron's singing was so good!

Next was Before You Exit, I got quite a few pics of them, here are some:

They were so, so, good :D I loved every song they did!

After before You Exit's set, Kenny from The After Party came out into the audience and I got this pic with him. He was sweet, we gave him a After Party sign we had made and he was so surprised :)

Next was...Allstar weekend :D

They were doing just as good as always, and then something AMAZING happened. Zach was picking people to come onstage and dance, so me and Mina held up our sign we had made for them and HE PICKED US! I couldn't believe it as I was walking onstage with them. I GOT TO DANCE WITH ALLSTAR WEEKEND!! It was an amazing expierience I'll never forget, here are some pictures I took while on the stage:

Mikey, trying his best to wave for the camera while playing the drums :)

I LOVE this picture! Mina and Cameron posing for the camera! Ugh, Cameron is so cute :)

                                                                   Mina and Mike!
It was so amazing! Allstar Weekend did an awesome job, as usual.

After the show, we met a lot more of the band members. Here's Mina with Michael, the drummer of Hollywood Ending. We gave him the Hollywood Ending sign we made and he loved it!

Me and Dan, the guitarist for Hollywood Ending. He was really, really nice. He asked us our names then gave us huge hugs :)

Me and Cameron, the rhythem guitar player and singer for Hollywood Ending. he's a cutie :)

Me and Braiden, the lead guitarist for Before You Exit. He was nice and said he loved my hat: ) hehe

Here's me with one of the lead singers of Before You Exit, Riley! I was so excited to meet him because he's one of my favorites. He was SOOO nice!! We gave him our Before You Exit sign and he loved it. He also gives amazing hugs ;)


So, that was my amazing day. It's definitely a day I will never forget. Me and Mina actually have this thing we always say, we have four bands that we absolutely must meet in our life, and those bands were Allstar Weekend, Jonas Brothers, Big Time Rush, and Kicking Daisies. So, after last night, two of those bands were crossed off the list. Two more to go :)

Hooray For Being Tagged :)

I've been tagged by Abby! Thanks Abby! Weeeeee :)

Here are the rules:

1) post these rules
2) you must post 11 random things about yourslef
3) answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post
4) create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer
5) go to their blog and tell them they've been tagged


Random things, are you ready?!

1. If I had to pick only one meat to eat for the rest of my life it would probably be chicken. I'm obsessed with it, fried, baked, grilled, any way. Yum.
2. I really like the Penguins of Madagascar. King Julien and Mort are my favorite characters, they make me laugh so hard :D
3. I've really been into this new band called Before You Exit lately. I listen to them while I'm doing my GED prep work :P They're from Orlando, so I knew I had to give them a shot ;) I'll be seeing them with Allstar Weekend in February!
4. I kinda have a thing for lead singers in bands...;) heehee
5. This is gonna sound completely retarded, but while living in a mobile home for a few years, I discovered I absolutely LOVE the smell of air coming out of floor air vents.(Only you, Mina, gets what I'm sayin'!)
6. I also love the smell of bleach, paint, nail polish, and gas. All very bad things to sniff, too. I'm odd.
7. I used to think Twitter was the stupidest thing ever, and would make fun of it, but now I sorta love it. It's super useful to talking to friends that are far away...
8. I'm freaky about eyeliner. I won't leave the house without it.
9. I've had red streaks in my hair before, and soon I think I'd like to get a blue or pink streak. Whatcha guys think?
10. When I go to bed, I'm usually not going to sleep. I'll usually get on my phone and talk to people on Twitter, and after that, I'll lay awake and make up stories in my head.
11. I love mechanical pencils. Like, just typing "mechanical pencil" made me wanna go grab one and start writing something.


Now for my questions from Abby, the tagger:


1. Are you scared of flying in airplanes? YES. According to the doctor, my ear drum almost burst open on the one and only time I ever flew on a plane. *shivers*
2.  Do you know anyone that doesn't like chocolate? Hhhhm, I'm not sure if I know anyone that really "dislikes" it, though my friend isn't fond of it.
3. Do you have a favorite style of hat? Yes..
4. If so, what is it? For me to wear, I like fedoras. A lot.
5. Red hair or brown? On guys, I like brown(or blonde!!!) but for girls, I don't think I could choose!
6. Owls or bats? Owls! Bats freak me out.
7. Purple or green? Purple.
8. Would you like to be taller than you are now? Yes, being super-model tall would be cool :) But, I think I've stopped growing.
9. Whats your least favorite color? Brown seems kinda obvious so...maybe orange?
10. Would you like a pet elephant? Yes, though I wouldn't like to clean up after it...
11.Is a cat relative equals to a orange guinea pig? Hmmmmmmmmm...thats deep.


My questions are:

What is your favorite TV show that isn't airing anymore?

What's your favorite candy?

Would you ever marry someone 20+ years older than you?

Which do you like to shop for more; clothes or shoes?

Have you ever ridden a horse?

Ooh, and a very happy 16th birthday(tomorrow) to my friend Carly from Kicking Daisies :)

Peace!
