Today..I couldn’t come up with a better title

Hey guys! I found this phone draft (which I THOUGHT I published) from, uhh..November 24th? Well, yeah I think so.I even made a post following this one, no wonder it didn’t make sense xD Anyway, I’ll stop blabbing, here it is:

Hugs, laughs, the mall, Starbucks, results and parties…oh and happy thanksgiving for all you guys who are celebrating.
Well, let’s start at the very beginning of the day *epic flashback slide effect thing*
One of my closest friend-wait,let’s give her a name, shall we? Uhm, Harriet, yes, Harriet (female) she walks up to me and asks if I can accompany her to get the register (we have an online one and an actual one on paper xD)[I typed up all that yesterday ^^^ but it's 8:33 now.. AM, a new day and my official birthday xD] Well, you see, Harriet isn’t the picky type, she’s very outgoing and wouldn’t mind who’d accompany her-but I got to admit, I am one of her closest friends, so I just shrugged that thought off. Okay, so then we walk out of the building and take a shortcut to the corridor with some of the offices and chizz, and the shelves with the registers. I nudge Harriet and point to the shelves. We approach it when I point our class’ register has been taken. She just walks around the shelves, and lightly pats the shelf where our register was. So I give her a quick nod thing which means we should get going xD The weather outside was f-r-e-e-z-i-n-g , well, maybe not to some of you guys, but I live in a desert!Oh-did I mention it rained that morning? I think it was that morning….
Uhm, okay, so as soon as I entered, I gave my warmth a boost by running up the stairs as fast as I could xD My locker’s so close to our form class, and I already put everything I needed for the first 2 lessons in it..well, more like crammed it, because Harriet kept telling me to hurry up “Before someone takes it.” I simply swing it over my left shoulder and walk in, without bothering to lock it. I mean, what could they possibly want with my locker? My hand sanitizers , my Dettol wipes or my time table?For some reason I doubt they’ll notice the other 4 folders, full of books and…stuff.
After Maths and…what was the second lesson? Science? Well, after Maths and Science we had our first break, which is… 30 min long? :L I’m not too sure. Anyway,I was hanging out with my usual group, except one of them were missing when one of my mates (Let’s called her Rane) who’s in the same form class as I am walks up to me, with her camera hanging on her neck (For Yearbook Club, I’m in it to but I don’t have a Canon charger , it’s not available ’till 2 weeks) and says, in a very believable tone, that even the least gullible person could believe,
“Shadow, you have GOT to go upstairs! Ms.______ is so mad, she wants to see you right NOW!” And with that, my heart dropped to my stomach… I asked her why and she claimed she didn’t know. I already went ahead and walked to our form class when she runs behind me, informed me that she has to accompany me. I can see some of my form class mates our already upstairs, and others were either behind us, or in front of us. It kind of reassured me because I was thinking of something I’ve done wrong-but what?My mind flash-backed to everything I’ve done in the past week, good or bad..I knew a girl lost her phone after school yesterday (during Yearbook Club) and I helped her search for it-but what’s wrong with that? But thanks to my class mates, I was reassured. I walk upstairs and notice our class is dark. Lights switched off. I stood there for a moment, squinted and absorbed and put together what was going on. I walk in, the lights switch on.
“SURPRISE!” They all said.
Now THIS I was not expecting. Rane clicked her camera, and I didn’t even notice. I thank them all and went around and hugged them, when I reached the last few, I jokingly said
“There are too many of you!” And the class thundered with laughter. “But I love you all anyway.”. I can hear Harriet calling my name.
“Aye, Shadow, come on, hold the knife with me, because you’re still a child and you shouldn’t handle sharp object alone.” I laughed. How ironic, I’m 4 months and 4 days older than her. Amazing, people these days. This is the point where I noticed the Pinkberry that was on the table. Anyway, Rane took a photo of me cutting the cake, the party in general and another mate -let’s call her Rawnie- took a photo of Rane and I together :3 Many say Rane and I look alike, we’re about the same height and I guess our glasses have the same frame shape, except mine is bolder and thicker. But other than that, I don’t see it..
I usually don’t eat cake, you guys know that, but this was different, not because it was my birthday cake, but because Harriet got it, so I forced myself to take a bite, but then I left it on one of the desks and had Pinkberry (which one of my best and closest friends, along with Harriet brought.But I got to admit she’s closer to me than Harriet is, since we have more classes together and, uhm, well, you see, Harriet and I were in the same classes ’till Year 2. We reunited in Year 6. My mate who brought Pinkberry, let’s call her Lakota, and I were in the same classes since Year 5. But we were in the same after school clubs in the past years, like Origami. And we were both in the school play, so we sort of talked on the first day of Year 6, NOW BACK TO THE PARTY). Lucky for me, when we went to take some of the cake to our favourite teachers, my piece of cake fell off the desk xxxooo
We had PE next, and after we cleaned up, I approached my locker to get my gym bag and my backpack…but instead I saw bags and boxes in front of me,I started to doubt it was my locker, not quite getting it in my head, until I saw my timetable inside xD Harriet laughed at my reaction and explained which gift is from who. I moved them to one of the spare locked where my PE bag was, got my stuff then headed to PE.
I was walking with Lakota and another close friend,let’s call her Naina. We used to hangout (in school xD) since year 3, but we were in the same class since Year 6.
“You didn’t seem so surprised,” Lakota pointed out.
“Well, yeah, she did! But not everyone is as over-expressive as your are!” Naina replied. The three of us laughed as Naina and I started impersonating a Lakota-style shocked face. A cross between The Sctram and a “I’m so shocked my eyes will pop out” face.
And if that wasn’t enough, I got my English spelling results back and apparently, I can spell better than 97.7% kids my age. WOOT MAGICAL NUMBER!7! Okay, I could’ve done better, but I know how to reach the top.
Find those 2.3% , kill them, done!
And I’ll post more about yesterday later >.<

Journal Entry #1 December 22, 2011
START: 10:27 AM
END: 11:54 AM
Heart Break. Its something I know quite well, an old enemy; if you will. Could that be why whenever he’s away I feel as if I’m utterly and entirely alone on Earth. Because I gave Parker one half when he left, and I was already hurting because I don’t know what Parker’s doing to my heart. Maybe he expected me to do such a thing and is nursing that half of my heart very well. But he could as easily have tossed it over his shoulder, thinking it’d be better to forget me.. Okay, getting off subject. Whenever Aaron is online I start laughing, have a mini heart attack, drop my laptop, and fall over on the floor. Some people might think I’m just saying this cause it’s “Cute” or “Sweet”. But, the reason I get so excited is because I get to also visit with my heart and make sure she’s okay. My heart’s been through so much, and I’m scared that one more blow could ruin her, as well as me, forever. I could never tell Aaron this, because I wouldn’t want him to feel like he has all this pressure.
Aaron says that he’ll never break my heart but he doesn’t know all the easy ways that can happen. He may have good intentions but I’m positive that I’m going to do something to screw up everything. I warned him when he asked me out.. I told him he wouldn’t want me. But he assured me he did, and that; the feeling of being wanted/needed by ANYBODY, over came me entirely and I was smiling like a pyscho at my laptop. I love Aaron, I know this much. Because after all I’ve been through, why in the hell would think online dating is going to be any easier?! But that’s not what I did, I knew Aaron was better than anything I could find here in backwood Missouri. But.. I mean I cant help but doubt Aaron just the tiniest bit. ‘Cause there’s this part of me that I’ve trusted with a person before [CoughBLAKECough] and I almost lost myself forever. I’ll never forget the wakeless nights filled with nightmares.. and just that horrible EMPTY feeling. The feeling of want to barf up your own heart just so it could be free from the toxic gases of pain.
-Sigh- Sorry, I kinda needed to just get that off of me.. But I really love what Aaron and I have. But, GAH! There’s just that charred part of me thats terrified and beastly. I’ve tried pushing that part of me away but it refuses to be forgotten. But I guess that’s what I get for putting myself through all that pain..
Okiee, well I’m hoping that this will last FOREVER.. but hope isn’t always strong enough to prevent Love’s melicious ways.
Well… I Think I Might Start Posting Again.. Maybe Not. Sorry.. Theres Just Alot Of Stuff Going On Right Now /:
Have A Merry Christmas!

S.O.P.A and P.I.P.A

Okay, yes, I know, I’m to young to discuss politics. But srsly government???

I’m alive-Really! It seems like I disappear after i post.

Well here’s why:
My uncle passed away, and so I spent the rest of my day at my Grandma’s for support. It’s her second son to go, and to top all of that, she had a heart surgery, which is very big and risky. They have to break your rib cage. So it really does hurt her heart to cry… Literally, not trying to be poetic or anything. I personally hate to mourn (even though I do) over these things, because, if you think about it, if they were here, they wouldn’t want to see you break down and depressed!They’d want you to live your life. Besides, my uncle has been played with here, if I told you everything he’s been through you might even call me a liar. Well, he’s in a better place. It’s been almost a month (well, 4 days to go) so I really did realise the things I sai..typed in my little rant.LOL!
On other news, the holidays are here.YAY! Boom, I really want to get things from the Warner Bros website as a gift from me…. To me xD They’re all Harry Potter merchandise but they don’t ship to where I live *sighs* and I don’t feel like shipping, what, 3 pages of items to my brother in Arizona.OH! MY BROTHER.YEAH, HE’S VISITING!
I’ve also filled (and turned in) this application for this…. club. Sports & spa club, but I have to wait 4-5 days for approval, AND THEN , THEY’LL HAVE TO CALL US, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO SETTLE THE FEES. *Meditates* Okay, okay, I’m patient. Oh and I went to like 3 other clubs before choosing this one, so I was on the go a lot, I forgot I had WordPress’ app on my phone.
On OTHER news, I added 2 new deviatations to me DeviantArt again.Both fall in photography, and are fails xD
~Shaddooooowww ish oouutt!

Eyo….

Yeah I haven’t been posting… and because of that I’m now starting my 3 stage apology.

1. I’m starting with telling you you look beautiful today, I dont see the clothes, but I know every single one reading this is beautiful <3

2. I can explain why I haven’t been posting, just keep in mind you’re stunning

3.  beautiful people I’m sorry for doing you wrong…. forgive me your beauty *bows* 

xD yeah the real reason is I’ve been busy working on my art and getting my careers on a kick start…..

for those who don’t know… I’m a designer in the making, also an artist, and poet. and I’m working on getting the dancing right.

Just so you see how far I’ve come. I’ll show you some of my finished work.

yeah…..

Final Fantasy XIII !!

Right now it is… 2:18 AM on a early Saturday morning :3

I chose to take a break from the internet for a few weeks because my school grades were beginning to slip, and I didn’t want my mom to have any idea that the problem would be my blog and Xat. But now I shall resume blog posting and Xat chatting. [Along With FaceBook, YouTube, Etc.]

So over last week I dog-sat my neighbor’s dogs and for my hard work I got a little pay.. okay alot of pay xD My dad asks me where I want to go to spend it.. Two words..

GameStop [A Used Videogame Store].

So today my dad took me there, I got my obsessive love of video games from him, I began looking through the Xbox 360 games. One game caught my eye, Final Fantasy XIII. I ripped it off the shelf and hopped up and down while the clerk scanned and bagged it. Getting a new game – for me – was like getting a whole new wardrobe so some other girls.

Gah! .. Sorry, I cant help being away from my game.. It’s calling me… Ah, I’ll resume this tomorrow afternoon. Night/Good Morning! x3

Today i swallowed my sorrow and started working on computers again, its been like 2 weeks without my laptop and its gona be an eternity from now on. So i just wanted to say, i’m not gonna be one of the happiest people for a while due to my loss.

xxxBellaxxx

Heyy :L

I know that I haven’t posted in a long time since we’ve talked, sooo how are you? Good, good. Me? Well … er, how about we just talk about you… No? *Sigh* Fine.. If You must know, my life has been at its most grayest place EVER.

Long Story Short, Blake had erm, some flaws. Okay just one BIG one. He did illegal drugs -_- I was so ticked when I found this out from his friend. So, I broke up with him. It brought both of us a great amount of pain. But, my parents had convinced me that it was the right thing to do … which is why it hurt so bad. But… I stayed up CRYING for hours on end because Blake had molded himself around my heart so tight, and I had ripped him off my self. He was the fixture to my heart, and I had ripped my band aid off like he never mattered to me. Of course my parents didn’t care. All that mattered was that the drugee was as far away from me as possible. However, I wanted to stay by Blake’s side and get him some help, but for some reason that is a “horrible” idea :l So, I endured the pain and played up a fake smile for Jacy and my other friends. Most importantly, my mother. I worry about my Mom because she’s always asking for the truth, but she only wants what she THINKS is the truth. She asks me if I’m okay and I say no … She then chews me out about how I need to stop being so depressed. Which just made me burst into tears. I want to be happy, I HONESTLY do. Yet, how happy can a person be when their heart has been crushed, stitched, then had every stitch ripped from their hold? Not very.

But as time went on I begun to heal, day by day. It took effort and hope for tomorrow. Until Blake texted me.. “Y you dump me?” It reads.. I take a huge sigh .. this is why it’s so hard. Blake doesn’t WANT me to go, he’s fighting for me which no guy has EVER done to me..

Me: “You Never Loved Me.”

Blake: “Bull shit. I’m gonna die anyways so whatever emily.”

His words stung me like a spiked whip lashing it’s thin tongue against my heart.

Me: “I bet so, drugs dont exactly make you live LONGER Blake.. And if you did love me you didnt show it too well.”

The conversation drags on with alot of confessions from both of us but out of it I just ended up with fresher cuts and more confused/conflicted than I ever was. Blake was telling me all these things like he’s always loved me and that he went to rehab for me, and that he didn’t want to live without me.

Why am I so conflicted, you most likely asked. Well, I kind of went a little over dramatic with the whole “Blake doing drugs” and so my parents think he’s like some physco path or something. And I believed in some rumors which might be the truth but I don’t know who to believe in cause I JUST met Blake and also the guy whose been telling me all the truths Blake doesn’t want me to know.

*Sigh* But, I don’t really wanna talk about it right now..

So, as you might notice my blog has become a bit [okay ALOT] out of date. Which I apologize for. I sometimes forget that I have a bunch of these people who actually worry and care about me. :’) Not use to it. But I promise that I plan on giving our blog the makeover is so rightfully deserve. The theme? Simple. It’s a holiday that has really been looked over this year, so to show THANKSGIVING that there are still some people that remember them; that shall be our new theme. Although it might turn out just looking like a fall theme…still. I’m gonna at least try.

So just a warning.. Breaking Dawn is coming out into theaters in only 13 DAYS! So my obsessive, psycho Twi-Hard part of me is going to be ON. I’m SO excited. It might just be a movie where Bella gets pregnant, but for people who have read the books have been waiting YEARS for this movie. I’m not hating on people who think of Breaking Dawn as that, but you can never judge a movie until you read the book its based on. Just like I’ve never read the Harry Potter series [don't hate me Shadow xD] so I cant really share my oppinion of it.

**

School has been… exhausting. Everyday there’s a bunch of drama [dating] that is just… ugh SO annoying! -_-

But, luckily, I have a Jacy to help me through it all. D

Well, I gotta go. Im watching Wizard of Oz with my family, such great times <3

Bullying, it’s time for it to stop.

Thousands of children and adults take their lives because of it, and one of the most recent victims of bullying is Sophie..No, I don’t know who that girl is, I don’t know if it’s true. I found it on Twitter, it was a worldwide TT and I didn’t bother to search for more. Either way, it really upset me. Does it matter WHO has been bullied? It’s time for it to stop! It’s something that , face it, we talk about at school regularly, at assemblies, but sometimes it just doesn’t stick in your mind. The reason we keep repeating it is because we’re not listening, even though we might hear it. Bullying comes in different shapes and sizes (Yes, fail metaphor) – verbal, physical, cyber-bullying…Did you know that cyber-bullying itself is illegal in 16 states? (Well, according to my research anyway) Well, I could go on and on about this forever, but sadly I don’t have the time nor am I in the mood to do so.
