I Promised An Exciting Post

2012-02-10T17:31:00.000-08:00

...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 :)

My friends Kicking Daisies are in a new Ring Pop competition, and if they win they get their own flavor of Ring Pop released! They're up against some pretty popular bands, though, so I was wondering; do any of you have facebook accounts? If so, it would mean a lot to me and them if you would go vote for them at facebook.com/ringpop .

Thanks so much guys!

Hooray For Being Tagged :)

2012-01-22T15:03:00.000-08:00

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*

4. If so, what is it? For me to wear, I like fedoras. A lot.

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.

Late New Year Greetings

2012-01-08T14:16:00.000-08:00

Happy Late New Year everyone! Sorry I'm so late on this post, I haven't gotten the chance to get on the internet for a long time(yes, yes, I'm a lame person with no internet at my house, with the exception of my cell phone which doesn't allow me to make good blog posts. Whatever.) but here I am finally!

Even though I'm more of a look ahead, not behind, type of person, this post, rather than talk about expectations and resoloutions for the future that'll probably never work out, I wanna talk about my quite eventful, quite topsy-turvy 2011.

First off, I switched houses at the beginning of the year. That was quite different. Me and my family had our own house in 2010, but now we live with my grandparents in their 2 bedroom house. Last year was so crazy as far as our location. We talked about moving everywhere you can imagine(which I really wouldn't have wanted) but we're(luckily for me) still in our normal town, with my grandparents. It may be cramped, but I love my family more than anything, so it's not as hard as it would be for some families, and I'm lucky and thankful to have somewhere to live at all. God has been very good to us.

2011 was a really hard year for me, because of the fact we lived in North Carolina for over 5 months. It was not fun, to say the least. I was away from my home, my friends, and everyone I know with the exception of my parents and my sister. I hated it and wished the whole time that I was home. That was definitely the worst thing about 2011. All I could think about was how much time I was wasting there, and what I could be doing if I were home.

With all the free time I had in NC, I did a lot of planning and scheming(those are things I'm very good at), and by the time we got home, I was featured in one of my favorite magazines, and set to interview my favorite band for my fan blog.(At least I got something accomplished ;)

I had sent a story to my favorite magazine, M Magazine's email just for fun, and a few days later they contacted me and told me I was going to be in their magazine, along with my sister and friend. By the time I was back in Florida, our issue was out, and I was super excited. It was kinda surreal seeing myself in a nationally famous teen magazine, on stands in Walmart and such. It was my first time in a magazine, so it was a big deal for me.

The biggest hilight of 2011, and actually of my whole life, was meeting and interviewing one of my favorite bands, Kicking Daisies. While in NC, I talked back and forth with Ben, from the band, and the bands tour manager, until I somehow managed to get an interview for me and my sisters fan blog. I had interviewed them via email before, and had talked to them several times online, but this was huge and undescribably exciting for me(music is sorta my life). Meeting them and interviewing them was such an honor and a pleasure. They are some of the nicest people I've ever met, and so down-to-earth. We're now good friends, and we talk so much now. They are so, so awesome and I would love to get to hang out again soon. <3 Their concert was as amazing as ever as well.

Other cool concerts I went to were Trans-Siberian Orchestra(just...wow they're amazing!) and Night Ranger(my favorite classic rock group). And also I'm so stoked, cause me and my sister got Allstar Weekend tickets for Christmas from our parents. YAY:D Can't wait for February 9th!!!

Oh, almost forgot, my mom's dream came true in 2011(LOL, mom!) cause me, her, and Mina met her favorite TV star, Daniel Curtis Lee, who plays Kojo in Zeke and Luther, at Epcot while he was there filming a commercial. He was really, really nice, down-to-earth, and cool. So yay, I met a TV star last year as well :)

What was good and bad about your year? COMMENT:)

Thank You

Merry Late Christmas!

2011-12-27T15:49:00.000-08:00

(I apologize for the unoriginal title!)

How was your Christmas? Mine was great! I spent it with my parents, sister, and grandparents.

On Christmas Eve Eve, we went to see the snow in Celebration(yes, they have a fake snowfall every night, it's pretty cool!) which my grandparents had never done. We got pizza there and watched the snow.

On Christmas Eve, we spent the night roasting hotdogs and marshmallows over the fire, which was very nice, and Christmas-y:)

We actually slept in on Christmas morning, we didn't end up getting up til nine O'clock. We all exchanged gifts, and it was as fun as usual:) Me and Mina got Allstar Weekend tickets, which we had heard we were getting about a month ago(can't wait for February 9th!!!) from our parents, and I also got(from them) two Allstar Weekend shirts, Pirates of the Caribbean 4 on DVD, and lots and lots of candy!

What did you get for Christmas? COMMENT:)

My Obsession With Alice

2011-12-18T13:59:00.000-08:00

A lot of people don't understand my obsession with Alice in Wonderland. I'm not even sure I quite understand it, I just love it so much.

Maybe it's the childhood memories I have of watching it. I've loved it since I was really little.

Maybe it's because me and Alice are a lot alike. I'm very, very curios like her, and I like to understand things.

But, I think the most probable reason would be because of it's whimsicality. I like how it doesn't make much sense, but yet it does. It would seem that it's all nonsense, but if you look closer, you can see a lot of wit and meaning.

When I tell people I love Alice in Wonderland, they usually assume I mean the new version.

I liked the new version(mainly because of Johnny Depp), but to me, it didn't do the Alice books and movie enough justice. Though there were a few things in this version that were more similar to the books, I just think it was too dark to really showcase what kind of picture Lewis Carroll was trying to paint.

I really enjoy the Alice books, because of their wit, and really great characters.

When I say I love Alice in Wonderland though, I mean I love the cartoon. It's bright colors, and goofy characters seem to really showcase Lewis Carroll's books more than any other.

I just have a never-ending love for it. When someone quotes the movie, I smile. If I see anything related to it, I want to get it. I watch the cartoon all the time, and I love the books. My top 3 characters from the cartoon?

Number 1 would most obviously have to be the Cheshire Cat! He's just so, so whimsical, funny, and happy. He knows how to have a good time! (Also, I love Sterling Holloway's voice! He also did Pooh Bear and Kaa from the Jungle Book.)

Number 2 would have to be the Mad Hatter! He is so funny and innocent. Plus, who doesn't love the Unbirthday Song?! (He is voiced by Ed Wynn, who also has a VERY distinct, very cool, voice!)

Number 3 would be Tweedledee and Tweedledum(yes, they count as one!). I love their story they tell, The Walrus and The Carpenter:) They are so cute!

So, yes, people think I'm weird for obsessing over Alice, but I love it soooo much and I can't help it:)

Do you like Alice in Wonderland? What cartoons/books/movies are your guilty pleasures? COMMENT:)

The Day I Had Been Waiting For, For Like, Months...

2011-12-11T12:58:00.000-08:00

Was yesterday! Yes, meeting, interviewing, and watching Kicking Daisies:D Let me tell you all about it( don't have the pictures loaded yet, but I will put them up ASAP. And also, the interview video link is at the bottom of this page.)

We went, of course, with my friend Sonya, who is a huge fan, as I am:) We first went to Taco Bell and Downtown Disney, then went over to Celebration, where the concert and interview would take place.

As we were walking on Market Street, we saw Ben, the super nice, super talented lead guitarist of the band, at the merch table, so we went up and said hello, and gave him the cookies we had made them. He recognized us right away, and commented on our KD shirts, and how much he loves our KD Fan Blog. We talked with him, until he had to go tune up. At the merch table, I got a KD glow in the dark bracelet, and a Duran pin:)

We walked around for awhile, until Carly, Duran, and Caitlin were ready for the interview. CLICK HERE TO VIEW PLEASE:D We had so much fun interviewing them, they were all so nice, funny, and down-to-earth. <3 We got some pictures, then they had to go do a soundcheck.

We watched their soundcheck, and it was almost like a private concert, with 2 songs;) It was awesome:)

We waited around for about 5 hours, 'til the concert started. Shealeigh and CoCo Jones opened for them. Shealeigh was good, but I can't say I liked Coco:p We got to be in the VIP section so we were super close to the stage, and super pumped. Me, Mina, Sonya, and our 2 new friends we met at the concert, got the whole crowd cheering "KD! KD! KD!". It was an awesome, exhilerating few minutes leading up to their performance. From behind the stage, Ben, smiled and waved to me, and he looked super pumped, excited, and ready to perform.:)

Despite a few minor sound issues(which was not KD's fault), the concert was amazing as ever. I expect nothing less of KD though:) I got the whole thing on video, and since I was in the front row, it came out really good. Being that close was really cool, and the concert was just awesome. We had so much fun singing, dancing, and screaming as we watched our fav band perform.Carly even threw us a KD T-shirt, which Mina caught and is wearing right now:)

All in all, it was an amazing day, and most certainly the best day of my life. Please, please, check out our interview here, and tell me what you think!!!:D

Much Love,
Marelle<3

A Post From A Homeschooled Weirdo

2011-12-03T17:11:00.000-08:00

I ususally try to refrain from telling people I'm homeschooled right away when I meet them. It can definitely make people judge and take you for something your not, ex. a nerd, anti-social, a geek, ect. ect.

Even though homeschooling is becoming more and more popular, let's face it, if you're a homeschooler, most other kids/teenagers will look at you differently. Sure, the adults/old people automatically love homeschoolers, because we're so "Well behaved and adjusted.", but let's be honest, how much does that actually mean to homeschooled teens? Not much. Actually, it's kind of embarassing when people go around talking about homeschoolers, and how we're so "smart and behaved".

And I'm not saying there isn't any advantages to being a homeschooler, I wouldn't have it any other way. Actually, I'm technically out of school now anyway, but I'm still tagged as a homeschooler because if I went to public school, I'd still be in school right now. But anyway, there are tons of advantages of being a homeschooler, like for instance, the curriculum I used only took me an hour and a half a day at the most, and then I was done. Pretty sweet. But there are still some weird things about being homeschooled. People are weird and stupid about homeschoolers, and some act like we're from another planet or something.

The first question an un-educated adult mind asks about homeschoolers is, "Do they have social time?" or "Are they involved with other kids their age?". Gimme a break, no, we lock ourselves up in our house and never come out. Even other teenagers and kids ask that kind of stuff too, like here are two real-life, classic responses to my telling another kid I'm homeschooled:

"Really? Wow, I would hate not having any friends!"

and...

"So what, you sit around your house all day?"

I'm sure those responses would make anyone feel good!

Sometimes I just wanna scream, "I'M A NORMAL TEENAGER! I'M NOT AN EINSTEIN, I HAVE FRIENDS, I GO OUT AND DO THINGS, AND I HAVE A LIFE!". But, of course, I realize that the only reason people react this way to homeschoolers is because they are un-educated on the subject, and aren't really sure what to think of homeschoolers. Not that that makes it any less frustrating. It still is.

To tell you the truth, I think the reason we get such a bad rep. is from some of these homeschool parents that raise their kids to be weirdos. Don't get me wrong, I've had and have lots of nice homeschool friends, but I've known a lot of weirdo ones too. Since none of the "weirdo's" read my blog, I'm not afraid to tell you about them. It's just that, a lot of the homeschooled kids that I've known, and that I do know, just...I don't know, they seem to think that kids that go to school are aliens or something, or even worse, that they themselves are better than kids who go to school. To be honest, a lot of the homeschoolers I know don't like me because I hang out with public school-ers. Which I think is really messed up. I don't think that we should ever think that we are better than someone else, which goes for both sides. Homeschoolers should accept kids who go to public school and vice versa. Correction, they shouldn't just accept them, we should all be able to be friends. But, unfortunately, until homeschooling becomes more known, it's hard for us all to accept each other.

But, it is always nice when you can actually find someone that accepts you even though you are a homeschooler, and I'm lucky to have many awesome public-schooled friends who don't care whether I go to school or not:)

Thanksgiving+Christmas Decorating+Early Presents= A Lot of Pictures!

2011-11-28T14:49:00.000-08:00

How was everyone's Thanksgiving? Mine was superb:) I had dinner with my sis, parents, grandparents, and our friend Jason, then spent that night with them and also my friends Tami and Justin. We had delicious food, which included my 3 favorites, turkey, cheesecake, and pumpkin pie! Here are the pictures I got:

The beautiful table setting:) Pumpkin pie and gingerbread men...yum:)(The dates on all these photo's are wrong by the way...)

Me, Mina, and Grandma decorated these:) My Grandma's Gingerbread recipe is THE BEST!

My plate of delicious food! Those colored things in my cup are my Grandma's awesome flavored ice cubes!

Off to the backyard to play some Ladder Golf! Me and Jason.

It's a tradition in our family to decorate for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving, so on the 25th, we went and cut down this beautiful tree:

Our lovely tree before we decorated it! Oh, and me:)

The tree with just the one set of lights on, and Mina putting on the skirt.

My precious pup Bing and the lights:)

The finished tree! We ended up using over 600 lights!

Our snow village is another Christmas tradition:) Mina did this years town.

So are you ready to hear what me and Mina's early Christmas gift from Jason and Tami is???

Kittens!!!

Their cat had kittens and we each got one!!! Aren't they adorable?!

My cat Sugar, she is such a sweetheart!

Mina's cat Lover Boy! He got his name because I discovered he has a patch of fur on his back shaped exactly like a heart!

What a great present!

How have your holidays been? COMMENT and let me know:)

Looking Forward To...

2011-11-22T09:32:00.000-08:00

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. I've been kind of lacking on post ideas., *horrified gasps from the readers* but never fear, there's always something going on with me worthy of posting. *giant sigh of relief*

Lately, it seems all I can think about is concerts. Why? Well...

For one, my second(but first in-person) interview with Kicking Daisies is coming up when they come down to Florida on December 10th. Last week, it was confirmed by their tour manager that we will indeed be doing it, so I've been a happy girl:)

Does anyone have any ideas of interesting questions I could ask them? I would be very happy if you shared some with me.

So, the second concert on my mind is a...
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Allstar Weekend concert!

That's right folks, I told my parents all I wanted for Christmas was tickets to see them again, so they ordered me some, and I will be going with my sis on February 9th, at the House of Blues in Downtown Disney! There, we're also going to see Hollywood Ending, another band I really like, and might possibly, hopefully, get an interview with them.(Hollywood Ending of course; not Allstar Weekend)

(If you've never heard Hollywood Ending, you should click here to hear their song, "You Got Me", it's very good and reminds me of Allstar Weekend!)

Of course, I'm also thinking of Thanksgiving, one of my favorite holidays. I can't wait to dig into that turkey and pumpkin pie! I also love getting up and watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!

Also, I hate football, but I'm excited because Big Time Rush will be singing the national anthem at one of the T-Day games this year! I'll be tuned in;)

Ooh, another thing I'm excited about, and I hope you will be too, is me and my sister's channel has gone completely Christmas for the Holiday season, we will be posting all holiday-themed videos, and have changed our page look for the season! Please click here and check it out! Tell me what you think!

What are you looking forward to this year? COMMENT:)

Here We Go...

2011-11-09T17:59:00.000-08:00

What a task; to sit down and write my own life story.

I have decided to do this because I feel that if the readers know more about my past, they will know more about me and who I am today. I'm also doing it to step out of my comfort zone, I'm usually not inclined to talking about my past.

I could give you a bunch of boring facts about the day I was born, how many pounds I was, and things like that, but I want to do this from my own point of view and from my own memories rather than what people have told me about my early years. So, I will start from where I remember, which was when I was about three or four, I guess. I grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida, so I was pretty much a city girl. My dad was a pastor at Calvary Chapel, he had preached at other places before that, but I can only remember from Calvary Chapel on. I don't have a whole lot of memory from Calvary, but I have a few of my dad taking me up on stage with him while he preached, runnning around the church building, and playing with other little girls there. But that was where my "real church" memories ended, because around this time, my dad felt that this was not what he was supposed to be doing. Why should he get payed to tell people about God's word? And where in the New Testament does it say that you must get dressed up and go to a big building to worship God? Didn't Jesus come and die for our sins to live within us, and not in a building? These thoughts are what led my dad to house church. Just a small group of friends gathered to talk about God's word. Isn't that how it was in the New Testament?

So, from here on we have done house church. I find it loads more fun and personal then going to a "regular church". We have definitely met in some interesting places in the past, such as an old vacuum store, and the junkiest motel you have ever seen. But for the most part we met in our house, someone else's house, or at the park(which was always my favorite place to meet as a kid!).

We also housed, many, many guests during this time, in fact, I don't really have any childhood memories when we didn't have someone living with us! It never really bothered me though, they were always adults that sort of just minded their own business.

My childhood life would pretty much be considered an easy one. My mother was scared to send me and my sister off to school when the time came, so we were homeschooled from Kindergarten on. My parents worked part time hours so they could do things with us, like taking us to Disney World every week. Life was good, until one night when my parents asked us how we would like to have two more sisters. They told us they were thinking of taking in two third cousins who had had a very bad home life, and needed a place to stay. I was nine at the time, and couldn't stand the thought of sharing my family, I was used to having guests, but not little kids that would need my parents attention and take away from mine, so I bawled and begged them not to go through with it. Of course, now I realize that I was being very selfish, but I was only nine.

Much to my dismay, my parents decided to go through with this, and our life became a very jumbled, confusing mess. We were visited by social workers that would inspect the house and ask me and my sister questions that I didn't understand. My parents were in a constant custody battle in court, against the girls mother. I got even more upset once I met the girls that we might be getting custody over. Kendra, who was 4 at the time, was the most wild, crazy kid I had ever met. I couldn't imagine living in the same house with her. Mackenzie was 2, and wouldn't way a word to me, so I was convinced that she didn't like me, and would be miserable at our house. The girls continued to come and visit us. I became scared and confused at all of this, and I just wanted my life to go back to the way it was. My perfect little life in which there was never any troubles.

Well, I got what I wanted for a short time. The court never got back to us on the girls for a while, and I started feeling good for awhile. Music started to become a big part of my life at this time. I started playing the piano with myself as a teacher, and started singing non-stop. But that didn't last for long, because soon, after a few more visits to the court from my parents, I was told we got custody of the girls. That very night, they came over, and trouble started right away. Kendra completely destroyed my room and didn't calm down the whole entire night. I cried as soon as I got away from them, and kept crying all night long. I wished them away and asked my parents how they could do this to me.

The next few weeks that followed were horrible. I was convinced that Kendra hated me, even though I did everything in my power to make her happy, I set up games and crafts and gave all my attention to her, but she was never satisfied and always had something nasty to say to me. The only person she liked in our family was my dad. She even once told me she wished everyone in the world would die but her and my dad. I cryed my eyes out everyday, and asked God why she hated me so much, and what I ever did to her to deserve it. I realize now that she probably didn't hate me, she had just had a very tough life, and life isn't always fair, you're not gonna get repayed for all the good things you do for others. You can't expect to be repayed for doing God's will, except for when we die. Of course, I didn't think about these things then, and all I wanted was for life to go back to normal.

Gradually, things got a little bit better, but I still couldn't see a bright side to the story coming anytime soon. I still cryed and wished Kendra away, and she still didn't appreciate everything I did for her. And whenever my parents weren't around she would tell me and my sister how she wished we would die, and how much she hated us. But slowly my parents started punishing her more, and she started learning the ways of our home a little more. She still didn't like me, but she eventually stopped wishing death on me. Mackenzie was always fine from the beginning, quiet at first, but a really nice kid, the kind you couldn't help but like. She rarely gave us any trouble. I don't think there ever was a time that Kendra wasn't trouble(my nickname for her behind her back was "Little Nightmare"), so I enjoyed the few days I got a break from her. Me and my sister would go to stay at my grandparents house Sunday night, and stay all day Monday, and those days became my favorite days of the week.

Life went on with Little Nightmare and Mackenzie as it always did. I decided to take piano lessons from a teacher, and started with a lady named Ms. Rubinchik. She was completely horrible. My very first lesson she wouldn't let me look at my hands while I played and discouraged me beyond belief. I had given up on piano when I came across Ms. Betty at Taco Bell. She came over to tell us what a lovely family we were(as lovely as you can be with Little Nightmare in your family, I thought) and it turns out she was a piano teacher, so I started to go to her. Music became important to me, and a huge part of my life was spent playing and singing.

What I didn't know was another big change was coming our way. My dad took just me and my sister to Disney World on this particular day, and told us that the next day we were going to go look at mobile homes. Of course, we asked why, and he said it was because we were seriously considering putting a trailer on our Mamaw and Papaw's property, in which they were renting out to my uncle, about an hour and a half away from us, in a little town called Nobleton. I was completely shocked. I had been to Nobleton many times, but I couldn't imagine living in such a tiny little town. The guests at Disney must have thought it was pretty weird to see two 8 and 10 year old girls sniffling and wiping away tears in the middle of Epcot.

So, the next few months were spent visiting Nobleton, making plans, and looking at mobile homes(or manafactured homes if you prefer) until we finally found the one we wanted. I thought it was quite weird as I watched our future home being moved onto the lot. Soon we were packing up the last of our things and moving into a friends vacation home they had in Nobleton for awhile. We there stayed until the electricty in the trailer was turned on, which was almost a month later.

I started to enjoy Nobleton more than I thought I would. Me, Mina, LN, Mackenzie, and our cousins that lived behind us, Cali and Luke, would all play together. For awhile, I was still going down to St. Pete for my piano lessons, but I became really tired of driving down there once a week, and just decided to stop. Soon after I completely forgot about missing St. Pete, and I was really enjoying Nobleton. I started to make friends in the area, which was something I didn't really have a lot of in St. Pete, and I slowly started becoming used to the area and enjoyed it a lot. We were right by Croom, the state forest, and I loved hiking there. We were also by the 40 mile paved bike trail, and I enjoyed biking on it. Believe it or not, from there I decided I never wanted to go back to St. Pete!

Shortly after the move, we started having worse trouble with Kendra and Mackenzie. The court wanted them to visit with their parents more and more, and we had found that they just became worse whenever they were around their mother, and it became an issue. Social workers started coming back again. Life started becoming topsy-turvy again.Eventually, we decided as a family we couldn't put up with it anymore, and we were overjoyed to hear there was a couple with two kids of their own that wanted custody over the girls. So we met them, and spent a lot of time with them, until finally it was decided by the court the girls would live with them.

Life seemed so peaceful after they left. I could finally stop worrying about "Little Nightmare" and I found all the attention on me and Mina felt good. We continued to live in that same house until January of this year, more problems arose. Our Uncle Nate needed a place to live and we started having other family issues as well, so my parents told me and my sister that we were to move into my grandparents house, which was about 4 blocks from our house. They only use this house temporarily, until they sell their house in St. Pete and can move to Nobleton perminently. I was upset about it at first, but I have found now that I love living there, we have a finger to the river in our backyard that we like to swim and kayak in, and me and my sister have a huge room upstairs to ourselves.

I guess my life has always been unpredictable, and certainly a crazy ride. But I can't complain:)

November is Here!

2011-11-06T17:32:00.000-08:00

Can you believe it?! I love the month of November, the weather is so nice, and of course I love Thanksgiving:) But, getting on track here, I promised pictures from our Halloween party, and I have a whole bunch more pictures from our Disney stay with Nicki and Alyssa! We had so much fun, we actually got to do something I've always dreamt of, we stayed in the Disney's Contemporary Resorts Bay Lake Towers, one of the coolest Disney Resorts there is! Us four girls got a room all to ourselves! You know what else I have pictures from? THE NIGHT RANGER CONCERT!!! It was my third time seeing them, and it was just as amazing as ever! They are so talented and are some of my rock heroes, and definitely my favorite classic rock band. The feeling you get at a loud, guitar screaming, drum crashing concert, is undescrible. Mina laughed at me when I described it as "Walking away feeling exilerated and refreshed" but it's so true! I felt so excited:) Okay, anyway picture time!(BTW, if there's dates on the pictures, my crappy computer did that, those are not the right dates!)

Me in my Halloween costume at the party, I was a candy corn:)

Everyone that came dressed to the party. Sadly not everyone did. From left: Chris as Jason, Mina as a convict, me as a candy corn, Justin as Scream, Sonya as a sorceress, and Jason as a member of the Geek Squad;)

Halloween Party:)

2011-10-30T15:59:00.000-07:00

So, last night, from 7:00 pm to about 12:00 am we had a fun Halloween party! We danced, ate lots of candy, and played a really fun game called murderer in the dark.

Some of the guests came dressed up. I went as a piece of candy corn, and Mina dressed as a convict.

For the actual day of Halloween tomorrow, we are going to Orlando, to Epcot and Downtown Disney.

I'm going to post the pictures from the party ASAP.

Also, I blinged this picture out of us from M Magazine. You should try blinging your own pictures at blingee.com, it's so fun!(the hearts and things actually glitter and move, but it didn't work on the blog)

Alrighty, so here's an exciting piece of news, tomorrow we are taking Sonya to Disney for her first time ever! Yipeeeeee;) I'll try to get some pics to post.

Lastly, I would appreciate it so much if you would check out me and Mina's newest video, which is an Allstar Weekend Medley(click here to see) that we worked really hard on. Comment and let me know what you think!

JB Hall Of Fame:)

2011-10-15T17:10:00.000-07:00

So, it's time for the Jonas Brothers Hall Of Fame by Marelle! Here you will find the lyrics and links to a few of my all-time favorite Jonas songs!(I apologize if there are any errors, I'm almost positive there's not, but I typed them all up myself from memory)

Let's start with my very favorite, A Little Bit Longer(song link), written by Nick Jonas about his struggles with his Diabetes.

Got the news today,
doctor said I had to stay,
A Little Bit Longer, and I'll be fine.
When I thought it'd all been done,
when I thought it'd all been said,
A Little Bit Longer, and I'll be fine

But you don't know what you got, til it's gone.
And you don't know what it's like to feel so low,
that everytime you smile or laugh you glow.
You don't even know, no, no.
You don't even know.

All this time goes by,
still no reason why.
A Little Bit Longer, and I'll be fine.
Waitin' on a cure,
but none of them are sure.
A Little Bit Longer, and I'll be fine.

But you don't know what you got, til it's gone.
And you don't know what it's like to feel so low,
that everytime you smile or laugh you glow.
You don't even know, no, no.
.

Yeah

But you don't know what you got, til it's gone.
And you don't know what it's like to feel so low,
that everytime you smile or laugh you glow.
You don't even know, no, no.
You don't even know.
No, no,
You don't even know.

So I wait til Kingdom come.
All the highs and lows are gone.
A Little Bit Longer, and I'll be fine.
I'll be fine.

------------------------------------------------
This is my second favorite, also written and performed by Nick Jonas, which he wrote in an attempt to write a whole song using just the black keys of the piano. So it's called Black Keys(song link).

She walks away.
The colors fade to gray.
And every precious moments now a waste.
She hits the gas,
hopin' it will pass.
The red light starts to flash it's time to wait.

And the Black Keys never looked so beautiful,
and a perfect rainbow never seemed so dull.
And the lights out never had this bright a glow.
And the Black Keys are showin' me a world I never knew, no.
A world I never knew.

She hates the sun, cause it proves she's not alone,
and the world doesn't revolve around her soul, no.
She loves the sky, cause it validates her pride,
never lets her know when she is wrong.

And the Black Keys never looked so beautiful,
and a perfect rainbow never seemed so dull.
And the lights out never had this bright a glow.
And the Black Keys are showin' me a world I never knew, no.

When the walls start closin' in,
don't let 'em get inside of your head.
Don't let 'em get inside of your head.
Don't let 'em get inside of your head.
Don't let them inside.

Cause the Black Keys never looked so beautiful,
and a perfect rainbow never seemed so dull.
And the lights out, never had this bright a glow.
And the Black Keys are showin' me a world I never knew no.

Don't let 'em get, inside of your head.
Don't let 'em get inside of your head.
Don't let 'em get(no) inside of your head.

Sometimes a fight, is better black and white.
---------------------------------------------------------------
This next song is called Please Be Mine(song link). This is the song that made the Jonas Brothers a band. Yup, Nick Jonas auditioned with this song for Columbia Records with his brothers, and they loved it so much they decided to sign them as a brother act. This is an important song;)

They come and go but they don't know,
that you are my beautiful.
I try to come closer to you.
But they all say we won't make it through.

But I'll be there forever.
You will see that it's better.
All our hopes and our dreams will come true.
I will not dissapoint you.
I will be right there for you,
til the end, the end of time.
Please Be Mine

Oh.
I am not out of love with you.
Tryin' to find if it's really true(na na na na)
How can I prove my love,
if they all think I'm not good enough.

But I'll be there forever.
You will see that it's better.
All our hopes and our dreams will come true.
I will not dissapoint you.
I will be right there for you,
til the end, the end of time.
Please Be Mine

I can't stop the rain from fallin' ,
can't stop my heart from callin' to you,
it's callin' to you.
I can't stop the rain from fallin' ,
can't stop my heart from callin' to you,
it's callin' to you.

But I'll be there forever.
You will see that it's better.
All our hopes and our dreams will come true.
I will not dissapoint you.
I will be right there for you,
til the end, the end of time.
Please Be Mine
------------------------------------

The next is called Love Is On It's way(song link/music video). It's from the Jonas Brothers Concert Movie, and was never on any album but the movie soundtrack.

Young hearts, I believe that we are not far from becoming who we truly are.
Love Is On It's Way.
Dreamers, you see everything in color, while the world is getting darker.
Love Is On It's Way.

So, hold on another day.
Cause Love Is On It's Way.
You're fine, it's gonna be okay.
Cause Love Is On It's Way.
It's alright, you'll find a brighter day
Cause Love Is On It's Way

Leaders, show us how to love each other.
It can help us to recover.
Love Is On It's Way.
Lonely, I believe that you will find me.
And together we will truly see,
Love Is On It's Way.
Yeah.

So, hold on another day.
Cause Love Is On It's Way.
You're fine, it's gonna be okay.
Cause Love Is On It's Way.
It's alright, you'll find a brighter day
Cause Love Is On It's Way

Hold on another day.
Cause Love Is On It's Way.
You're fine, it's gonna be okay.
Cause Love Is On It's Way.
It's alright, you'll find a brighter day
Cause Love Is On It's Way.
Cause Love Is On It's Way.
Cause Love Is On It's Way.

Hope you enjoyed! I own none of the lyrics, all rights go to The Jonas Brothers, Jonas Productions, and Hollywood Records. ;) I also do not own the rights to any of the videos. If I linked one of your music videos and you want me to remove it, let me know.

We're Home! (And Other News)

2011-10-02T16:24:00.000-07:00

Yup, I'm super-dee-duper glad to be back in FLORIDA:)

We got back at about 2:30am Thursday morning, and I had a feeling of happiness that I just couldn't quite describe. Nothing feels better than to finally get home after being away for five months. Take it from me.

On Friday night, we had a sleepover with my buddy Sonya, we were pretty freakin' excited to see each other. We had a blast playing games, doing make up, and talking all night.

On Saturday we hung out with Sonya and my other buddy Justin.

So are you ready to hear some really cool news? Me, Mina, and Sonya are in M Magazine(one of my favorite teen gossip magazines!). I sent in a story about us being best friends, and my favorite time that we had together. Please go pick up the October/November issue, which should be anywhere they sell magazines, and flip to page 64(at the way bottom of the page, I missed it at first!), and there we are! Here's the pic that was in the magazine:

So psyched that they picked my story. Thanks M, you rock;) Actually, it was so funny, when my friend Justin saw we were in the magazine, he was running through the store showing it to random people saying "Look, they are in the magazine!". I have crazy friends:)

Click here to bling out this picture on blingee.com!

A few more announcements, one being, ALLSTAR WEEKEND RELEASED ANOTHER ALBUM:D Ahaaahaaa yes, I love them:p

Two is, we have another really random, funny video on our youtube that we taped right before we left NC. We were so bored because there was nothing to do. Click here to watch it, it's hilarious!

Lot's of Love,

New Bright Idea!

2011-09-15T14:14:00.000-07:00

Okay, dear friends and readers, I had a bright idea today, what if we all got together and started an online book club? We could all decide on a book, read a few chapters a week, and discuss them together on our blogs! Book clubs are a great way to connect with friends, and maybe make new friends, while doing something that I personally love: reading! Anybody interested?

Here's how I thought we could decide on a book, everyone can enter their idea for a book that they would like to read for the group under comments on this post, and then once all the suggestions are in, I will put up the list of book suggestions here(including my suggestions), and have the club members vote on which book they want to read. Whichever book gets the most votes will be the book we read!

If you would like to join the book club and discussion, please make a post on your blog telling about the club, and include a link to this post. Let me know that you've made a post under comments. Let's try to get a lot of people to join!

Please enter your book suggestion below(please only enter one suggestion), and let me know if you will be joining the club.

Let's all get together and go on a reading adventure!;)

Feather Clips

2011-09-14T12:43:00.000-07:00

I'm in love with the new trend, feather extensions! I think they are so pretty, and it's also a lot of fun, and very easy to make your own feather clips, so you can rock these pretty feathers without getting an extension!

Here's what you will need:

Obviously you will need feathers, even though they can be pricey, I really recommend real feathers, they look so much more authentic. They can be found at craft and specialty stores.

But, if you want to go for a more whimsical, fun type look, or you don't have real feathers, you can use the fake, dyed kind that can be found in any store that sells craft supplies.

You will also need scissors and any kind of thin string.

Lastly, you will need bobby pins.

Pick out as many feathers of whatever colors you want(I would recommend three feathers at the most to make them look like real extensions, and make sure to coordinate your colors) and take your string, and wrap and knot it around all your feathers several times. Then cut about 3 or 4 inches off the string, and take one side of the string and pull it through the inside of the bobby pin, then take the other side, and tie it to the bobby pin until it is tight.

You can make tons of cool color combinations!

Just slide the bobby pin in your hair, and Voila! You have your own feather extension clip!

What do you think of the feather trend? Are you going to make some of your own? COMMENT:)

Sick:p

2011-08-31T10:26:00.000-07:00

I'm going to apologize in advance for the lack of substance in this post, I'm afraid it's going to be quite complain-y/pitiful.

I've been sick for the past couple days, and basically I've just been laying around the house. I had some kind of stomach issue and a fever, and I haven't really been eating much, or feeling strong enough to do much. Today I feel a tiny bit better, I felt good enough to go to McDonalds, and I ate a small fry, so hopefully I will be all-the-way-better soon.

For the good news, my grandparents are coming up to visit on the 7th of September, so I'm looking forward to that.

How have you guys been? What have you been doing lately? Let me know under comments!

Bible Challenge Results; And What I've Been Up To This Week

2011-08-15T14:05:00.000-07:00

So, if you read my last post, you know my reason for not posting this past week, was I was participating in Abby's Bible Challenge. So, now for the results...

I did not do well. This challenge has shown me that I may depend on media a little too much in my life. I picked up my phone to check my email, ect. more than a few times. I did cut off a few things, like blogging, and I cut off texting almost completely as well too. But I definitely learned something from this. Media is not everything. These days that this challenge had been going on, my grandparents were up here visiting us, and we had so much fun. I had a great time with family, and without so much media. We also went camping, so I said good-bye to almost all media then, with the exception of my phone:) But, by and by, my favorite verse of all time is

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me
-Phillipians 4:13

This verse tells me that I do not need to focus so much on media. I can do all things through Christ. And I am going to try to always focus on that. To focus on the big picture in life. Texting, blogging, emailing, none of these things compare to just being with the people you love.

So I have learned something from this, even if I didn't quite "succeed".And, this week has been a great one spent with my family, and I'm sad to see them go. But, on the bright side, I only have a month and a half til I go home to Florida:D

Well, see you next post!

-Marelle

Video's and a Bible Challenge!

2011-08-05T11:36:00.000-07:00

Hey guys:)

So, yesterday I posted some new videos on me and Mina's youtube channel one is called "When Penguins Attack(Click to view) and the other is our cover of Cascada's hit, "Everytime We Touch(Click to view) that we worked really hard to make a dance for. We got a lot of haters on that, saying we can't dance, we have no talent, ect. but thankfully we got some good feedback too, so please check it out and let us know what you think, we like to know everyone opinion so we can become better dancers/singers.

Okay, so the other thing is, Abby is having a really cool Bible Challenge on her blog, that i will be participating in, and you should too!

thanks for reading, comment on your thoughts on the videos, and if you will participate in her Bible Challenge!

My Wish Came True:)

2011-07-12T16:10:00.001-07:00

So, if you read my last post, I said that I really wanted the chance to interview one of my fav bands Kicking Daisies in person, and I got something almost as good, me and my sis get to interview them on Skype! I'm really happy:D Also, we're gonna surprise our BFF who happens to be a huge KD fan, we're gonna call her and let her talk to them! She will be so excited and amazed! It's really amazing for me to get to talk to some of my biggest inspirations in music! Have any of you ever got to talk to or interview your fav celeb? Who is your fav celeb? Do you have any advice to help me not be nervous? COMMENT:)

If You Happen To Care What's On My Mind...Read This

2011-07-11T11:25:00.000-07:00

I wanted to make a really cool post, with maybe a good theory to prove, or something of that sort.

But I can't seem to think of a thing.

So I thought I would share some random on-my-mind's (meaning is over-rated, right?)

1. I go back to Florida in about two and a half months. It seems so far away! I cannot wait:/

2. Dillion's Haircut Song!!! "Oh my gosh Dillion, you got a haircut" :)
(you're probably thinking I've lost it, so copy and paste the URL below to understand)

http://youtu.be/OgNmMbuVBAA

3. I've been hoping that Kicking Daisies comes back to Florida soon, because interviewing them in person would be really cool. I've never actually done an in-person interview with a celebrity before, so that would be a great experience, especially with nice people like KD:)

4. My mind has been with the library a lot lately. I work there on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and I really enjoy it. I help with the childrens programs, and I do book shelving and things like that. It's really cool, and a really good work experience. And everyone that I work with is just so nice, and it's a beautiful library. Thats one place I will miss when I go home(but I assure you, I'm ready to go home!)

5. I have been thinking a lot about the fun things I'm going to do when I get home. For one, I'm having a big, all-out crazy fun sleepover in mah crib:) I miss doing that! For two, when we get back we're taking my best buddy Sonya to Disney World for the first time in her life! That is going to be epic! (But why does October have to be so far away!)

I hope you enjoyed this random post. What is on your mind right now? COMMENT:)

-Marelle<3

Just a quick post to say...

2011-07-08T13:30:00.001-07:00

Me and my sister Mina have finally gotten to our 50th video post on youtube!!! We took a short break from youtube because of some technical difficulties with our camera, but we're back in business and you'll be seeing a lot from us soon! So check out our newest video on youtube.com/minaandmarellecole

Check This Out:D

2011-07-07T15:43:00.000-07:00

So, Mina kinda got me started on something yesterday...

Apparently, there's a possibility that Kicking Daisies might be coming back to Florida for the Radio Disney Holiday Concert(the concert we went to last December), so now I'm all hyped up, and hoping they are going to come(I really want to get another interview)

So the point of all this is I thought I would share with you the video of the Allstar Weekend/Kicking Daisies concert we were at of ASW performing Dance Forever, look for our sign in the crowd, it says "We Heart ASW!", and then let me know what you think:)Be patient and watch for the sign!!! copy and paste the URL below:

That was the best day of my life...:D

Update

2011-07-02T15:17:00.001-07:00

So I haven't posted about what's going on in my life for awhile, so heres an update. My grandparents are over right now for a fourth of July visit, and that has been fun, after that my uncle, aunt, and cousins are coming, and then our friends Jason and Tami. For the record I miss Florida terribly. Everyone keeps telling me 'your gonna have so much fun up here your not gonna want to go home' yeah, not gonna happen, think again. One thing I will say that I like about being up here is working at the library. I work with the childrens programs on tuesdays and wednesdays and I like it. Also, I have been enjoying hanging out with my friend Nellie, thats cool. But thats all I'm going to say for NC, I cannot wait to get to FL.

Movies To Watch

2011-06-28T13:09:00.000-07:00

Here are some reviews I did on some movies, so take a look and if you haven't seen some of them yet and are looking for something to rent, check them out!

ACTION ADVENTURE/FANTASY MOVIES:

Pirates of the Caribbean Saga
If you know me, you probably know that I am obsessed with this series, so of course I will have to start the reviews with these movies, and I will try not to let my obsession for the movies influence my review;)
So, there are three parts of these movies on DVD, but the fourth is still in some theaters.
TITLES IN SERIES: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl(2006), Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest(2006), Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End(2007), and Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides(2011)
STARRING: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Geoffrey Rush, and Penelope Cruz
RATED: PG-13, note that I will also share what rating I think is appropriate for the movie, and I agree PG-13 is an appropriate rating for this one. It has some intense action scenes, quite a bit of violence, and some potentially scary scenes.
REVIEW: All four movies(from Disney, based on the Magic Kingdom ride) are about the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow(Johnny Depp), and they are certainly action-packed and have great storylines. They are a great mixture of action and fantasy and have a sort of humorous side to them as well(which is probably one of the reasons I'm hooked!)Also, how can you beat Johnny Depp? He is my favorite movie actor and he is amazing as Jack Sparrow. In my opinion, the fourth movie is the best so far, the storyline was fresh, and not drawn out too much, as some fans thought the third movie was. All in all, I certainly give them 5/5

Lord of the Rings Trilogy
TITLES IN SERIES: Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Lord of the Rings: The Return Of The King
STARRING; Elijah Wood, Vigo Mortisen, Liv Tyler
RATING: PG-13, which is a appropriate rating because there is a lot of violence, and a lot of scary creatures.
REVIEW: Lets start with their only bad point, even though there is only three movies in the series, they are all VERY long and drawn out, they could have made them a lot shorter. But anyway, the movies are about Frodo the hobbit(Elijah Wood) who comes across a very powerful ring that starts to take control over him. So the movies are following Frodo(with help from lots of new friends) on a journey to the only pit where the ring can be destroyed while their whole world around them is fighting for it's power. Sound exciting? It is! I give it a 4/5, only because of how drawn out it is, or it would've been a 5/5

Prince of Persia(2010)
STARRING: Jake Gyllenhaal
RATING: PG-13 which is a fine rating, there is lots of intense sword fighting, and non-stop action
REVIEW: This is a movie from Disney, about Dastan(Jake Gylenhaal),a man who was adopted into the royal Persian family, who comes across a magical dagger that can transport you back in time. You can obviously imagine the adventures he has with it in this action-packed movie. The story line is great, the action-packed scenes keep you hooked, and Jake Gyllenhaal was amazing in it. This movie is definitely worth watching, and it's a 5/5 for me!

Race To Witch Mountain(2009)

STARRING: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Annasophia Robb
RATING: The actual rating is PG but I would have given it a PG-13 rating because of the intense action scenes, violence, and a potentially scary-to-younger-kids alien:)
REVIEW: This movie(from Disney, and a remake of the classic Disney movie, Escape To Witch Mountain) is about a cab driver(Dwayne Johnson) who happens to pick up two teenage aliens and gets involved in their adventure to save their planet. Now, I'm not usually a fan of Sci-fi (I can't stand Star Wars) but this movie has just the right amount and keeps you interested the whole time, and a big plus is Dwayne Johnson, he is an amazing actor. I would give it a 4/5.

The Chronicles Of Narnia Trilogy
TITLES IN SERIES:The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe(2005), The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian(2008), and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader(2010)
RATING: PG, which is appropriate, there is a tiny bit of action and violence, but not a whole lot and these movies are great for kids too.
REVIEW: All these are about the magical land of Narnia that three kids find themselves in, and they have wonderful hidden Christian meanings in them. They have great story lines, cool creatures, and awesome special effects. I would give these movies 5/5, especially since they are great for people of all ages.

COMEDY MOVIES:

Bedtime Stories(2008)
STARRING:Adam Sandler
RATING: PG for "rude humor" (blaaah)
REVIEW: This is one of my favorite comedy movies ever! It is about a hotel maintence man named Skeeter Bronson(Adam Sandler) who is looking after his sisters kids, and everytime he tells them a bedtime story, the next day whatever happened in the story happens to him! It is hilarious, and great for people of all ages. Definitely a 5/5 for me:)

Old Dogs(2010)
STARRING: Robin Williams and John Travolta
RATING: PG for "rude humor". I would agree with this rating, it does have a few things that might not be great for little kids in it.
REVIEW: This movie is about two men that must look after the one man's(Robin Williams) girlfriends kids(kinda like the Bedtime Stories type idea). But the only problem is, they know nothing about kids! It's has some definite laugh-out-loud moments, and Williams and Travolta were great in it! I would give it a 4/5.

The Tooth Fairy(2010)
STARRING: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Ashley Judd
RATING: PG, which is a fine rating, it has a bit of "rude humor" and some sports action
REVIEW: This film is about a hockey player, who tells his girlfriends kid that the tooth fairy isn't real, and is suddenly turned into a tooth fairy himself! It is very clever and really funny, and it's great for people of all ages, plus The Rock is in it, so how can you go wrong;) It's a 4/5.

BandSlam(2009)
STARRING: Vanessa Hudgens, Lisa Kudrow, and Alyson Michalka
RATING: PG, an appropriate rating, because I wouldn't reccommend it for children under 10.
REVIEW: This movie is about a high school outcast who moves to a new state with his mother(Lisa Kudrow), in hopes he will get away from the drama of his last school, and befriends Charlotte(Alyson Michalka), the most popular girl, and together they start an amazing band. The movie is full of funny adventures, and catchy songs, plus some dramatic elements too. I would most certainly give it a 5/5!

The Game Plan(2008)
STARRING: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Maddison Pettis
RATING: PG, but I think it should be rated G because it is completely clean.
REVIEW: This film is about a self-centered football player(Yes, Dwayne Johnson again;) who is suddenly surprised by his eight year old daughter he never even knew he had(Maddison Pettis) showing up at his door. It is great fun to watch him slowly become a real father, and it is a hilarious movie, one of my very favorites. Obviously a 5/5:)

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Series
TITLES IN SERIES: Diary of a Wimpy Kid(2010) and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules(2011)
RATING: PG, it does have some rude humor in it, so this is appropriate.
REVIEW: These movies are about Greg Heffley, and his life as a middle schooler. They are based off the books by Jeff Kinney, and they are HILARIOUS:D They are really clever, and great for all ages too! I cannot help but laugh out loud when I watch these movies! I would say that the second is better than the first, but I give them both 5/5!

I hope I helped you consider new movies to watch, and I would love to hear your opinion on these movies, and also I would love for you to share some of your favorite movies with me, comment!
I might make a second movie review post as well with some more themes so be on the lookout!

Entry For Abby's Poetry Contest

2011-06-16T12:18:00.000-07:00

Well, Abby @ His Sparrow is having an amazing poetry contest at jesusrules13.blogspot.com, and I was already planning on writing this poem to get some hard things off my chest, so I was especially glad to hear she is having a contest!

This poem is about some personal experiences with different people that I thought were my friends, but just ended up being jerks and taking advantage of me. It's about having so many things I want to say, but not being able to send them the message. It's not great as a poem, but I had originally planned it as a song with a tune, so bear with me here;)

"Press Send"

by Marelle Cole

I tried to be nice, but I guess it's true,
that good guys finish last.
I tried to take everything you do,
and mark it as the past.
But you don't seem to care,
how many people you hurt,
and I wish I could show you,
what I'm really worth

There was so many things that I wanted to say,
but I watched my chances slip away,
and now my heart cries every night and day.
So I guess you got your way.
There are so many things that I wanna do,
so many ways to get back at you.
I would spill my heart to you,
and tell you what I've been wanting to.
I would get my sweet revenge,
if I could only press send.

It makes me feel worse to see you hang out with all your friends.
Why do you make me feel I should be guilty,
like I'm the one who should make ammends?
I really wanna get revenge,
but I just can't seem to press send.

Did I tell you you're a jerk?
Because you are.
Are you happy now that you left your scar?
There's so much left for me to say now,
but I just don't know how,
because I wanna get my sweet revenge,
but it's a whole different story to press send.

Makeup Tips

2011-06-13T10:43:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! I thought I would share some of my favorite makeup tips for you in case you care:) I am not a proffesional, and different people like doing different things with their makeup, but I thought I would just let you hear some of my own ways of doing things, I have been doing it since I was really young, and I love experimenting on myself everyday, and on others as well. Hope you enjoy!

STARTING OUT:

If you've never done makeup before,or you are under age and want to know the basics for when the time comes, here are my tips for you.

1. LESS IS MORE
When I first started doing makeup as an everyday thing, I made the big mistake of piling way too much on, and I ended up getting a lot of weird looks from people all the time, so don't make my mistake, always remember the Less is More rule, especially if your using makeup as an everyday thing, you are not going to need three different shades of eyeshadow on each eye, super pink blush, and so much eyeliner that you look like you have a black eye. BE SUBTLE!

2.LEARNING TO APPLY MAKEUP
This can be a very, very difficult thing to learn, especially if you've never used makeup. Even if you have used it as a once-in-a-while type thing, it's a whole different story to learn to apply it the right way everyday. Be patient and practice frequently before you wear it out in public. Just keep practicing, and you could also ask your mother, an older sibling or friend to help you learn, and that makes it a lot easier, my mother taught me, and it saved me a lot of embarassment. Also, remember when doing eye makeup, to apply the eyeliner first, eyeshadow second, and always apply the mascara last.

3.MAKEUP COORDINATION
So, one importaunt tip for make-up beginners is to make your makeup coordinate with you outfit. It probably wouldn't be the best idea to wear bright pink eyeshadow with an all-black outfit, or bright red lipstick with a pink and yellow one. Also, remember the Less is More rule for everyday makeup, if your wearing a T-shirt and jeans, it's not gonna look very good if you have a ton of fancy makeup on. Your makeup should complete your outfit, not clash with it.

4. BUYING THE RIGHT MAKEUP
If you are new to the whole makeup thing, and want to get some of your own, it's good to know what you're looking for. When you go out to buy makeup, first think about your style, and what kind of makeup would coordinate with your clothes. Your makeup must also express your personality, so if you're a bright, sunny type person and you like fun colors and such, I wouldn't suggest the smoky eye colors, or three black eyeliner pencils. It's always a good idea to ask other people what kind of makeup they wear too, and find out which brands work the best and things like that, because you would hate to buy something without experience and find out it's junk. Also, remember when you are buying makeup that most eyeshadow and lipgloss will last you quite awhile, so feel free to splurge on that, but eyeliner and mascara don't tend to last as long, so try to find cheaper brands of those if you can.

5. SHARING IS CARING
Since makeup can be pretty pricey, it's always a good idea if you have an older sister, or mother who wears makeup, to go halfsies with them on must haves like mascara, eyeliner, and lipgloss. You should definitely consider this if you don't feel like spending all you allowance on a few makeup products. But keep in mind that you will probably have to buy a few things for yourself such as your personal favorite of eyeshadow, and things like that, because the person you are sharing with may not want all the same products as you.

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE PRODUCTS

If you are looking for some new everyday products to use, here is a list of what I wear just about everyday. Most of it is very cheap and do-able, which is a big plus. Remember, I am only sharing my opinions, and everyone has their own.

1. L.A. COLORS BLACK EYELINER, OR NYC BLACK EYELINER
These are my two favorite eyeliners, because black eyeliner is an absolute must for me, I hate how I look without it. Now, NYC products can be a little pricey at times, and I'm not sure what the price is on that eyeliner, but you can check that(it is a pencil style BTW). What I love about L.A. Colors is the fact that they have them at the Dollar Tree, and they work magnificently! So you can't really go wrong with that(and these are crayon style). They may not have them at your Dollar Tree, but it's definitely worth looking!

2. NYC or L.A. COLORS SPARKLE BRUSH EYESHADOW
Okay, here's another NYC, L.A. Color face-off. They are both great products, and I wear this sparkle shadow everyday, because I'm a big eye person, and these products demand attention for your eyes. Once again, the NYC products are pretty pricey, but the L.A. Colors line can be found at most Dollar Trees, so I would start with the L.A. Colors line,because they work great and you can see if you like it, and then maybe you could give the NYC line a try.

3. FALSIES MASCARA
I got started on this because my mom uses it all the time, and she lets me borrow her makeup all the time, and it works great! It really gives your lashes great volume, and the black color is magnificent. I'm not sure of the exact price, but most mascara range from $7-$12 dollars, if that is any help:)

4. BURTS BEE'S LIP BALM
I also got started on this because of my mother, this stuff is just so great, it gives your lips a tingly feeling(hee hee!) and the color is just really brilliant. It comes in tons of cool shades and looks more like lipstick than lip balm so you can't really go wrong. The price varies so just go to your local store and check it out

5. MARY KAY YOU'RE A STAR! SPARKLE POWDER
These super cool sparkles come in a really cool powder puff and last forever (practically!). My friend Sonya is completely obsessed with sparkles, and loves covering me in this:) If you like sparkles, this is a must have. I've never actually seen these in the store, but you can order them online, once again I'm not sure of the pirce, but it's sure to be pretty expensive, Mary Kay products don't come easily, unfortunately.

I hope these tips helped you, comment below on what you think, what are your makeup tips?

You probably noticed that I have changed my blog name. I thought that this name describes me a little better than my last one which was just 'Marelle's Blog'. I'm a huge Alice in Wonderland fan, and I'm a very whimsical person so I thought this would show a little more about me. But I wanna know what you guys think, do you like it? Do you think it fits the feel of my blog? Feedback please! -Marelle

Life Of A Busy Bee

2011-06-01T20:42:00.000-07:00

Yup thats me, the person who is in a very busy, spur-of-the-moment family. The family that just randomly decides to come on up to NC and, oh yeah, spend the whole summer there. My family is very crazy. Which is good because I can't stand not being occupied at any moment. Today was my precious pup Belle's birthday, she turned 2. She is a very wild and crazy dog, but she is a total sweetheart. Happy birthday Bellezy:) Life around here has been pretty cool, we've been going down to the Tucksaseegee river a lot to go swimming, and have been getting a lot of cold sodas and milkshakes at the local general store:) But don't think I've forgotten FL, I miss it everyday, or more so I miss my friends and family there. I can't wait 'til my best friend Sonya can come up and visit, that will totally make me feel better:) -Marelle

A Great Movie Release And A Great Show Cancelled

2011-05-28T15:06:00.000-07:00

So starting with the good news Pirates four cam out, whoooooopeeeee it was great:D

I'm in the band is cancelled:( Wahhhhhh:(

what are your thoughts?

Believe

2011-05-18T19:22:00.000-07:00

I wanted to share these lyrics from my favorite song ever by Savatage. I think this song is a great way to prove those Christians who think all metal is evil wrong. It's a song about God talking to a man who has done a lot of wrong in his life, but He is letting him know he is forgiven for everything (it might not be quite as impressive without the amazing music;D)

So after all, this one night stands
You've ended up, with heart in hands
A child alone, on your own, retreating
regretfull for the things you're not
and all the things you haven't got
without a hope, a heart of stone lies bleeding
and for all the roads you followed
and for all you did not find
and for all the things you had to leave behind

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
and in the dark I hear your screams
don't turn away
just take My hand
and when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
All I ask of you, is Believe

Your childhood eyes were so intense
and bargaining your innocense
for bits of string
grown up wings you needed
but when you had to add them up
you found that they were not enough
to get you in and pay for sins, repeated
and for all the years you borrowed
and for all the tears you hide
and for all the fears, you had to keep inside, yeah

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
and in the dark I hear your screams
don't turn away, just take My hand
and when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
all I ask of you is believe
Yeah

(This is where the narrator switches to the man)
I never wanted to know
never wanted to see
I wasted my time
'til time wasted me
never wanted to go
always wanted to stay
'cause the person I am
is the parts that I play
so I plot and I plan
I hope and I scheme
to the lure of a night
filled with unfinished dreams
and I'm holdin' on tight to a world gone astray
if they charge me for years
I can't pay
yeah

(Back to God)
I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
and in the dark I hear your screams
don't turn away, just take My hand
and when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
all I ask of you is Believe
Believe

Hello From Sylva, NC

2011-05-13T17:29:00.000-07:00

How are all my buddy's back home? I miss you peeps:)

We are staying in a rented house here and it's pretty cool, but I really hate all this driving up and down, I'm a huge fan of flat ground, I'm a true Floridian;) The other thing I hate is missing all my friends, it's a little lonely here. But we had a lot of fun when my grandparents came and visited us a few days ago, it made it seem more home-y:)

I got a job at the Franklin, NC library, I'm gonna be working with the childrens programs, which is perfect because I love kids! I'm also looking for another job, and the Chuck-E-Cheese type-place called the Fun Factory is one that I'm considering.

In other news, my boy Duran V. just had his sixteenth b-day, so wish him a happy birthday on facebook, twitter, or youtube:)

Also, please check out our new-ish vids on youtube.com/minaandmarellecole, and tell me what you think here:)

Thanks for reading, and tell me whats shakin' with you under comments!

Lots Of Love,

Happy Easter!(And Other Events)

2011-04-25T08:56:00.000-07:00

Hello! How was your Easter? Tell me under blog comments!

Today, the 25th of April is my cousin Cali's B-day! She turned 10 years old! I'm sorry I won't be around for your party, but hey, at least you and Luke are even now;) Love ya!

Okay so, the day before Easter we went to an AWESOME concert by Trans-Siberian Orchestra, which is not really an orchestra, but a huge rock band with tons of people in it, and they have the most amazing shows! The first half of every concert has a story, so it's kinda like a play with people acting out different parts, but the story is told by a storyteller and by music! This story was about Ludwig Beethoven and his last night to live, and he spends the whole night bargaining with the devil over his soul, until he is told at last that the devil does not own your soul. I probably didn't explain it very well, but it was super good! Another amazing part about their concerts is the light and fire shows during the concerts! So anyway, the second half of the concert was actually my favorite part, it didn't have a story, but it was louder, and super rockin', and had some amazing light shows during it! I strongly recommend you go to see this awesome band, no matter what kind of music you like, these guys are for everyone!

My Easter was pretty average, we ate a ham dinner with my grandparents, and got some cool stuff from my mother(including one of my fav movies, Prince of Persia on DVD!)

TTYL-

These Days-Kicking Daisies

2011-04-18T15:57:00.000-07:00

Where do you go when you're down? To turn yourself back around, where do you go when you're gone, do you let yourself fall back to where you came from...

I can't talk to you, without bleeding through, all the pain I turned away, I can't think of you, without needing to, distract myself this way, I can finally get my feet back on the ground and, start to say, that I'm better off without you, These Days

Where does this feeling come from? And when can I throw it away? When can we get through the games, when we let our hearts give up for all the same things

I can't talk to you without bleeding through, all the pain I turned away, I can't think of you without needing to, distract myself this way, I can finally get my feet back on the ground and start to say, that I'm better off without you...

These Days are getting strange I'm caught in a mess or I'm climbin' to the top, it gets harder everytime I am on the stage and I've finally made it stop, I'm walkin' on this tightrope, my mind is getting strong, it's time I figured out where I belong

I can't talk to you without bleeding through, all the pain I turned away, I can't think of you, without needing to, distract myself this way, I can finally get my feet back on the ground and, start to say, that I'm better off without you, These Days

"It's Time To Flaunt Our Innocence, Try New Things That Don't Make Sense"

2011-04-09T17:54:00.000-07:00

The title of this post is a line from Allstar Weekends song "The Weekend". I really like this quote because I really think that so many teenagers are trying to act to much like adults when really, we teenagers are at the highlight of our life right now, and we shouldn't be afraid to act our own age, because life is short, and in not to long we're going to be too old to do all the things we do now, and we will be too old to "flaunt our innocence".

Think about it now, why should we spend all our time trying to be adults when theres so many cool things we can do as teenagers? I think it's awesome to be able to have freedom from a full time job, kids to take care of, and bills to pay. I love to be able to have time on my hands to do whatever I wish. I love how exciting it is to hang out with your friends and do each others nails,play games, and all those kinds of things adults don't do. I love being able to get obsessed about silly things like cute boys from my favorite bands. I love everything about being a teenager!

So don't worry about growing up, the shortest time in your life is right now, your teenage years, so enjoy them while they last!

Happy Birthday To Mina(And Other Fun Things)

2011-04-04T10:41:00.000-07:00

Hello Peope!!! It's been a long time since I've posted, I know. I just haven't had time to get on the computer, I've been so busy. So here's whats been going on...
These past three or four weeks have been pretty exciting, about three weeks ago we actually got to meet Daniel Curtis Lee, AKA Kojo from the show Zeke and Luther, he was at Disney filming a comercial and my mom is definately a huge fan of him,she loves that show and he is her favorite character, so she was yelling things out to him, but the Disney workers didn't want him getting pictures with anyone, but when he was on his break he snuck over and got some pictures with us, which was so cool, he seemed really nice. Jennifer Stone was also there, but we didn't get to meet her.
One of the most exciting things for me so far in these past few weeks was getting to interview Ben and Duran from Kicking Daisies via Youtube.com for me and my sister's fan site, kickingdaisiesfanblog.blogspot.com, it was so cool to get to interview them, they were so nice and they answered all our questions, and I really look up to them as musicians and one of my favorite bands ever. They are such an inspiration to me, and many others I'm sure, because they are only my age, and they have already achieved so much! (Ben is 14 and Duran is 15) Thank you guys:)
So, the third was my little sister Mina's birthday, and we had a really good time all the week of to celebrate it! On Thursday we spent the day at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Friday we went to Animal Kingdom(and rode Mina's very favorite rollercoaster, Expedition Everest, twice in a row), then Saturday our friend Sonya spent the night with us, and that was a lot of fun! We stayed up late, ate a lot of snacks, listened to music, watched the KCAs, played games, and had a great time. Then Sunday we went with our friends to Rainbow Rollerland, our local skating rink, and had a great time!

Guess what me and Mina got as Mina's Bday/Early Easter present???
A KODAK PLAYSPORT CAMERA:D
We are so happy our parents surprised us with this, as some of you might know, we really enjoy creating and posting videos on our youtube channel(youtube.com/minaandmarellecole), and the quality of our videos will now be so much better.

My little sister is now a teenager, and I'm really happy for her. She is a really cool kid, she is super creative, she thinks up a huge percentage of everything on our youtube channel. She is really talented, at singing, at cooking, at anything she puts her mind to. And my favorite thing about her, she is super funny! She can make anyone laugh, and she is the best comedian I've ever seen. I'm lucky to have a sister like her.

Please go give mina your best birthday wishes at her, minaseverdaylife.blogspot.com, or leave them here for me to give to her.

Well, thats about it, talk to you later peeps;)

Bings Story

2011-03-14T18:31:00.000-07:00

Here's a story I wrote awhile back on our dog Bing's journey to our house, I just kinda tried to think like a dog, lol:)

Bings Story

Who ever said that being a dog was easy? I certainly didn't! From the moment I opened my eyes I was a curious dog, wanting to know what everything was and what everything meant. When I was first born I didn't have the strength to run around and sniff everything, I had barely enough strength to drink milk from my mother. But if I could have, I would have been running around, sniffing all over the place, jumping on the humans, and playing with the other animals!

When I finally got the strength to stay awake and walk a little bit, I started noticing things that I never did before, before all I felt was the warmth of my mothers and siblings bodies, but now I felt how heavy my paws felt when I tried to walk, I heard the sound of humans talking, and all kinds of other sounds too, like birds chirping and my siblings snoring, and I felt the vibration of footsteps in the house, but of course at this time I didn't know what all these things were, they were all just part of the mysterious things that I would soon learn of.

The life of a young puppy isn't very exciting, you sleep, you eat, and then you sleep some more! Occasionally we would go outside for a little bit, and oh! What a thrill that was for me! Chasing bugs, running through the tall grass, and barking my tiny puppy bark at people who walked by! But we still didn't have quite enough strength to stay out long, so we would go back inside, exhausted, very soon.

As a week passed, and me and my siblings gained a lot more strength, our master took us away from our mother and put us in a pen outside with a covering for if it rained. I didn't quite like the fact that I was being taken away from my mother, but I did like playing with my siblings outside! Our master often let us out of our pen, and we really liked that! We would chase each other around the yard, roll around in the nice green grass, and try to get as dirty as possible (which our masters didn't seem to like).

Soon, the summer started getting hotter and hotter and we started noticing the humid weather, and staying out in the pen felt worse and worse each day. Our master seemed to notice how hot we were by how much we were panting and how much water we were drinking, and decided to move us to his laundry room, which was nice and cool.

We knew our master did the best he could for us, but he didn't seem to REALLY care about us. He would just put us away somewhere and go about his business (whatever his business was).

A few days later, my master took us out of our room, put us in a big box, and took us in his car. I had never been in a car before, and the fast feeling made me feel cool but yet scared at the same time, and I wondered what he could be doing with us.

We soon came to a stop, and our master pulled our box out of the car and and sat us down on the concrete. I heard my master talking to someone that walked by, and then he pointed in the box and pulled out one of my brothers, and I never saw that brother again.

The same thing happened to two more of my siblings, and I was becoming a little frightened as to where they were going. A half hour later my master picked up our box and took the rest of us home to our room, not knowing what had happened.

The next day, our master did the same thing, put us in a box, took us in the car, and put our box on the concrete as he sat next to it. That day I watched every one of my siblings leave the box, and I still wondered what had happened to them, and if what had happened to them, good or bad, was going to happen to me. I sat there looking up at my master for about fifteen minutes until he finally heaved a loud sigh, grabbed the box, and took me home.

That night that I spent in my room was the lonliest night I ever had. I sat on the cold floor all alone, with none of my siblings to lay with, and none to roll around on the floor or run around with either. I whined and whined until my master had to come and yell at me. I was sorry for waking my master up, but why would he leave me here all alone? What would happen to me the next day?

After the longest night of my life, which included barely any sleep, my master grabbed me and took me in his car. We went in his car and then stopped at a brick building, which apparently was a post office. I quickly figured out that this was where I had came with my siblings, but I just couldn't see anything since I was in that box. We sat on the hot concrete for what seemed like hours, and my master was almost ready to leave when three kind looking humans approached us. The largest one pointed at me and smiled, and then the smaller two smiled at me too, and they started petting me. They then picked me up and started carrying me, and before I knew it I was being carried away by them into their car!

So this is what happened to my siblings! I thought as we drove in the car. Maybe I'll find them wherever these people take me, I hoped. But when we got out of the car and the smaller humans (whom I had just realized were female) carried me inside a house, I realized my siblings weren't there. Inside the house, two more smaller human's (one female, one male) smiled at me and started playing with me, and the female girls that had taken me here left.

After staying at this house for about an hour, the two females came back for me, and I realized then that these humans were my new masters and they had left me here for the younger humans to babysit me for awhile. My new masters smiled at me and picked me up and took me over to a different house, which I figured was theirs. They sat me down with two other, way larger dogs, one female dog, one male dog. They sniffed me and sniffed me and I sniffed them too. I still didn't quite understand the whole situation, it was all happening so fast, but I did understand this was my new home.

After staying there a few days, I started to enjoy it, I got to play with the other dogs, eat table scraps, and be with my new masters, who even gave me a name! My new name got to be Bing Buddy Cole! I felt so special, I had never before had a name. I realized something, my other master didn't really love me like these masters did, he just wanted to give me away, but these girls spent as much time with me as possible, and they didn't lock me up in a room all day. Coming to this new house was the best thing that ever happened to me, I realized, and I knew that I would always be a good dog for my two new favorite masters, because I didn't want them to give me away like my other master did.

So, a few years has come and gone, the two original dogs my masters had have come and gone and they were replaced with a new dog, a small girl dog, and here I am, Bing Buddy Cole, still at my favorite place to be, at home with my favorite girls, laying on my favorite air vent, loving life, and I would never change a thing about it.

The End

Hello Everyone! Sorry for the lack of posting, I just haven't gotten any chances to get on the internet lately(hence the title of this post!)

Monday night and Tuesday of last week, we spent time with our BFF's from New Jersey, Nicki and Alyssa Lenkel and their parents, and it was totally awesome! We spent the whole day on Tuesday at Magic Kingdom, from 9:30 to 4:30, and we had so much fun! We rode all the rides and had a great time! Sadly, I didn't get any pics because I lost my camera, but Nicki and Alyssa did, and I got some videos that I will soon post on youtube:)

We are officially moved into our new house, we moved in the night before last, and it's been...crazy to say the least! There's boxes and things everywhere, and I'm still on the search to find my make-up in the boxes...GRRRR lol:) But it's been fine, I think the dogs are a little confused as to where they are though, lol.

Hope you have a terrificul week, keep your head held high!

Music Tag

2011-02-15T18:30:00.000-08:00

Music Tag
This is a fun tag:)

1. If you had to pick one favorite genre, what would it be?
AHHHHH this is so hard, I love, like, SO many genres, but I guess if I had to pick one it would be rock, because there's so many types of it, and some of my favorite songs are rock songs.

2. What is your all-time favorite song? (This may be hard, but try your best to pick only one!)
It may be weird that it's not a Jonas Brothers song, but my all-time favorite song is "Believe" by Savatage. It's a really rockin'/beautiful song.

3. What's the best concert you ever went to and why?
Well, I've been to quite a few cool concerts, including Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Night Ranger, and John Waite, which were some of my favorites, but my all-time favorite was the Allstar Weekend/Kicking Daisies concert because I went with my family and my best friend, and we had an awesome time, while watching some awesome bands:D

4. In your opinion, who are the 5 best singers in the world? (In no particular order.)
Ooh, hard. But we all know who I have to say first...NICK JONAS!!! His voice is nothing other than amazing. Steve Perry from Journey is AWESOME!!! He may be the all-time best singer I've heard. I loooove Jon Olivia from Savatage's voice, he can sing hard metal, and soft ballads, he's just awesome! I really love the Quiet Riot singers voice, but I can't remember his name!!! Grrr, but whoever you are you have an awesome voice! He can sing some SERIOUS metal:D And this last one... he may not be on the level with some of these metal singers, but I have to say him because I absolutely love him...Duran Visek from Kicking Daisies! He has the sweetest voice in the world, and he's really awesome! (And, he's sorta adorable!)

5. What's your favorite song that you've heard a million times, but you still can't get enough of?
Okaaaaay, you asked for it, "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey! Yeah, yeah yeah, they may be old-school, but everyone knows that they are one of the best rock bands ever, and even though I'm only 15 years old,and I wasn't around when the one and only Steve Perry was with them, I'm a HUGE Journier:):):)

6.What singer would you describe yourself to be and sound most like?
Umm, well, I think in some ways I sound like Colbie Calliat, obviously she is WAY better, and way more talented, but I think in some ways I sound like her. For personalities, I guess I would say Taylor Swift, because she is so dorky, (in a good way) and that's exactly what I'm like:)

Happy Valentines Day!

2011-02-14T13:54:00.000-08:00

How has your Valentines Day been? Got any plans for your Valentines night tonight?;)

My mom and dad always get me and my sister Valentine baskets with make-up and candy and stuff like that in it for V-Day, which is cool:D We ate out at Coyote Rojo, this really good mexican restaurant for lunch today, and I don't think we have any plans for tonight.

I didn't give out any Valentine's this year, except I did give one to my rents and sis, I used to, but none of my friends give out cards or anything either, so I just texted everyone Happy V-Day, which is so much easier;)

Valentine Tag Questions:

1.Do you have a Valentine this year?
Nope, but me and my sis and BFF were joking about Duran Visek from Kicking Daisies being my valentine, I think I'd settle for that;)

2.Do you have anyone you wish was your valentine this year?
Uhh, DUH! Nick Jonas, Duran Visek(lol!), Logan Henderson, Cameron Quiseng, Zachary Porter, and a lot of others:) I'd settle for any one of those, lol who wouldn't?;)

3.What are your fav songs to listen to on Valentines Day?
"Please Be Mine" by The Jonas Brothers, "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz, "Amy" by Allstar Weekend, "Fallin' For You" by Colbie Calliat, "Fall" by The Jonas Brothers, "Hello Beautiful" by The Jonas Brothers, "Love Story" by Taylor Swift, and prob like a million others;)

4.Best Part Of Valentines Day?
C-A-N-D-Y:D:D:D:D:D:D Also, listening to romantic Jonas Brothers tunes;)

5.What was the most memorable Valentines Day for you?
Well this one time I got this drawing from a secret admirer, and I spent a loooong time trying to figure out who it was from, but I finally figured it out. And NO I'm not saying who it was from because it was someone quite...embarassing, lol;)

Well, hope you have a wicked V-Day:D

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppppppppppppppppppsssssssssssss:D

We just had a little mini-vacay to North Carolina! It was a lot of fun! The reason we went up was because we are probably buying a house up there to live in for the summer and weekends and stuff like that, and our parents wanted to look at the houses they had in mind. We left Wenesday night, at about 4:30, and we got home the following Sunday evening.

We stayed with our good family friends, Rich and Shelby Bankston, we stay with them just about every time we go to NC, they live at the very top of Trimont mountain in Franklin, NC. It was really cold there, being on top of a mountain and all, and we finally got to see snow on Thursday night! Me and Mina had never seen snow before, so it was a really big deal for such big Sunshine staters as us:) We had a snowball fight, and made a little mini-snowman (there wasn't enough snow to make a whole one), and sadly it stopped snowing that night, and it all melted before the next morning, which was kind of a bummer.

We fond a house that we might buy up there, it's by Sylva, which is a really cute little town, and it has five and a half acres of property, which is mostly woods, which I think is really cool because I love the woods! Our dogs would love it too, because there's lots of room for them to run:) Were not sure about though, were looking at some other places too, and if we stay near Franklin, I'm getting a job at the library! Well, really I'm volunteering at first, and hopefully that will turn into a job:) It'll be my first job, and I'm really excited. If we move near Sylva though, I'll probably work at the Humane Society or something like that. I'm excited because my dad says once I get experience in volunteering I can get a real job somwhere around there and start making money!

. I don't know how I'm going to survive staying away from everyone for the whole summer though, I could hardly even take a few days! It stinks because all my friends go to school, and I'm gonna be gone when they're off for the summer, which is a big bummer. I wanna go to NC, but for three months? That's a little much! By the way, we are moving out of our current house by March 1st, and I haven't even started packing! Thinking about the move just makes me kinda sad I guess, and I wish we weren't moving so soon.

While we were in NC, our precious little cat Ms. Brown died. My mamaw fond her underneath my dad's bike ramp. Were all really upset, she was our sweetie pie, and I miss her so much. But she's in a better place.

I LOVE YOU MS. BROWN<3

Peace, and Love,

My cousin Luke's 8th birthday is coming up, and I'm SO sad to say I'm gonna be gone for it:(

Luke is a special little boy who loves to make me laugh! We have been best friends ever since he was really little:) We both love Pirates of the Caribbean, bike riding, playing kickball, and lots of other things. It's hard for me to believe that he's gonna be eight, it seems like yesterday that he could barely even talk!

I just wanted to say that I love you Luke, and I hope your birthday party is awesome(Though how awesome can it be if I'm not there, lol)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLE BROTHER THAT NEVER WAS:D

2011-01-24T12:43:00.000-08:00

Hey...Hello...Hi...How's it goin...Was Up...

How was you week? Mine was pretty darn cool:)

Saturday night we had a sleepover with our friends Tori and Sonya, and it was fun! We went to McDonalds, and played a lot of cool games, including a game that we invented called the chair game, if you wanna see what it is, check out our youtube(youtube.com/minaandmarellecole). We also played a Brunettes versus Blondes game of Disney Sing It that you can check out on our youtube, and me and Sonya(the Brunettes) won!!! Yay brunettes!!!

Sunday was the day of my 15th Alice in Wonderland themed birthday party! The house was all decorated for the occasion, we made flowers, playing cards, and other cool stuff for the house with our friends, and it came out really cool! It was a costume party so a couple people came dressed up...

Marelle:The Cheshire Cat
Mina:The Mad Hatter
Cali:Alice
Sonya:A Mini Mad Hatter
Justin:A Playing Card

Sadly, not everyone was creative enough to come dressed up:( We had acouple games too, like pin the smile on The Cheshire Cat, and musical chairs:) I won musical chairs and Sonya won pin the smile on The Cheshire Cat. Thanks to everyone for the presents and for coming:) You can check out a video of the party on my youtube as well;)

Keep bein' awesome peeps;)

Accomplishments

2011-01-21T16:47:00.000-08:00

When a new year starts, I think a lot about what I would like to accomplish, how I would like to change myself to become a better person. I guess you could call it new year's resolutions, although I've never really thought of it like that. Well, come to think of it, I'm constantly trying to accomplish things during the year too.

I thought I would share with you some of the things that I want to do this year.

I want to write more stories. Well, correction, I want to FINISH more stories. I love writing short stories, but I never get around to finishing them. I've started so many writing projects that I haven't finished, so this year my goal is to write 5 short stories in full. (I thought I would keep expectations low so I might actually succeed, lol:D) If I do end up doing this, I will post them on my blog so you can read them.

I want to write more songs. Writing music is something I've always loved, but lately I've been so busy I haven't found the time to sit down and write. I sometimes wait for an inspiration to strike, or other times I just go ahead and write. I'd really like to write 5 more songs this year, because music is special to me, and writing is also special to me.

An obvious goal this year is to get my learners permit! I can't wait for that!

The farthest I've ever ridden on my bike is 18 miles, and my next goal is to beat that! I want to ride over 20 miles on my bike this year, that would be really cool! I love getting exercise, and this would be a perfect way to exercise! I do ride my bike everyday, but I want a challenge! Who's with me?

And lastly, I want to make my youtube(youtube.com/minaandmarellecole) really awesome! I want to document me and my sisters lives and post it on youtube weekly! We get to do so many cool things, like going to Disney world, and I would love for everyone to get to see that! I also want to film all of the goofy things that we do with our friends to share as well, because life as a teen is short, so we need to make the most of it and be able to remember every moment!

What are your goals for this year? Tell me!

Lot's Of News (Good and Bad)

2011-01-17T16:34:00.000-08:00

Hello People Of The Internet;)

Well, my birthday came and went, and it was fun, we went to Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, which was a lot of fun for a pirate freak like me, although it was kinda hard to feel the Caribbean vibe in the forty degree weather;)

We had to postpone my Alice in Wonderland themed B-day party because I got some weird 24 hour thing the day of, but that will be happening next week.

Okay, here's the bad news...
we are moving.

Well, it's not super traumatic, it's only three blocks away from where we live now, but it's still a pretty big deal. There are a couple reasons for it, the main one being that our Uncle Nate and Aunt Charlotte need a place to live and they are paying us to live in our house. We will be moving in with my grandparents, which is kinda annoying because their house is pretty small for all of us, and part of the time we will have to live in their garage(that my dad wants to fix up). but if you wanna know the truth of the matter, I'm not happy about it at all. It may seem selfish, but I really would like to stay in a house of our own, with my own room and such. But I don't really have much of a choice in the matter, and anyway it's gonna be best for everyone else, so I just have to pray that everything will work out.

Please pray for me and my family.

Bike Trail

2011-01-05T11:12:00.001-08:00

Even though it's the middle of winter, here in FL it's been so perfect out, very good for taking long walks and bike rides on our local bike trail. These pictures are from a couple days ago when me, Mina, and Tori went for a walk on the bike trail with our dogs Bing and Belle, and Tori's dog Brittany. I wanted to get some pictures from the goat pen, but the goats weren't out when I went up there, so maybe I'll get some pics of them later.

Have an awesome day, and stay warm!

Tagged

2011-01-03T09:14:00.000-08:00

I was just tagged by Abby @ His Sparrow, and the rules are to post something that you wrote when you were young, and then tag someone else.

I couldn't really think of any whole stories that I wrote when I was young, so I thought I would post this song that I wrote when I was about 11, me, Mina, and my cousins Kendra and Mackenzie were having a contest, you were supposed to see who could write the best Christian song in five minutes, and this was mine:

Joy, Joy, Joy,
my Lord brings joy,
look around hear the sound...
my heart feels good when You touch me...
I never would have known how much someone could do
until I learned of You,
You are my love,
You are my happiness,
You are my joy.

So yeah, we still sometimes sing that song in my home church, lol:)

I tag:

Nicki @ Nickis Blog

Mina @ Minas Everday Life (Happy Reading!)

Thanks for the tag Abby:)

Prayers; and a movie

2011-01-03T09:04:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone, how has life been for you?

I wanted to ask you to pray for my dad, his back has been hurting him, and yesterday when he was out in the woods he threw something and threw it out, and also hurt his leg really bad, now he's having some kind of a muscle control problem in his leg(I don't really know the technical name) he finally got out of bed today, but his leg is still hurting him and he's having a little trouble walking, so please pray for him to feel better.

Also, if you could pray for my other family, that would be great too, my mothers granny just died of cancer and her and my papaw are kinda depressed right now, so yeah, thanks.

Anyway, while all of this was going on yesterday, I was at a movie in The Villages, some of our good friends took me and Mina to see "Tangled" and it was really good! I would really recommend that you go to see it.

Thanks, have a great day:)

Merry (late) Christmas!

2010-12-27T13:24:00.000-08:00

How was your Christmas? Mine was awesome, though I'm a little sad that it's over. On Christmas eve we had a big party with my mom's side of the family, and on Christmas day, we went over to my dad's parents house and ate Christmas dinner. We've had a lot of fun this weekend because my Aunt Leslie, Uncle John, and cousins Joel and Leah were staying with my mamaw and papaw right behind us, so we got to spend a lot of time with them this year.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmastime, and that your New Year will be just as wonderful.

Peace and Love,
Marelle
