Tuesdays Suck Just as Much as Mondays

The title says it all.

You know how they say you can't judge a book by its cover? Well, with me, you can. I look like your average 15-year-old girl. And I even look like a pushover. Lemme say, mostly, I'm not! But today in Drama like half the kids in my class asked me to borrow a pen or pencil. I got one pen back and no pencils. I love those pens. And I NEED pencils for math. Ugh. People suck.

Other than that though it wasn't such a horrible day...

In Health we talked about STD's and just did a lesson from the textbook. Then in Drama we just sat and did book work (some kids did they're monologues but I didn't get the chance). In LCW we finished watching "Pursuit of Happyness" (which, by the way, was so much better than I thought it would be. I love Will Smith and Jaden was soooo cute!) and we got our quarter 4 books to read. In German we did grammar. Yuck :P Then when I was walking home (yes, I live pretty much right across the street from my high school) it got super hot and I was sweating... luckily I was wearing a dress and my dress was spagghetti staps so I wasn't sweating too bad...

I have a sore in my nose :( It feels like a pimple but I don't think you can get pimples inside your nose... can you?

Runaway Royalty is almost finished... well, the first draft is anyway. Over the summer I'm going to edit it and get it ready to be read by the world. I'm going to publish it on my Facebook Page (Megster Rachel) under "Notes" when I'm done with the first draft. I'm so excited for it!!! I've never been able to actually finish a story before... unless it was for school. But I really like my idea for RR and I think it's gonna be great!

I'm reading "Soul Surfer" right now. If you saw the movie, read the book. If you read the book, see the movie when it comes out on DVD. The movie was incredible (well I do love AnnaSophia Robb) and the book is touching and inspiring! I've been crying while reading how much faith she has in God and her family to keep her safe. The movie, however, overplays the shark scene. In the book, Bethany says that she just felt pressure and a tug and then the water was filled with her blood. In the movie the shark came up out of the water and chomped her arm off. But either way, AWESOME movie and AMAZING book. I got it yesterday and I'm already half way through it!

Good Weekend... Done with Writer's Block!

Saturday: slept till 9, opened the pool with Daddy, went to the craft store for Mel's project, had Arby's for dinner. :)
Sunday: Woke up at 5:48 (due to my father's coughing and my mother's coffee maker), read practically all day, watched "Twister" with my mom, did my math hw, had Pizza Hut for dinner, gonna watch "Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure." :)

So last night, I had a jolt of insipiration! Why not just write my own autobiography? Except change a few names and places, and PRESTO! I'd have a masterpiece. Too bad I couldn't get past page three... then I took a millionth look at my thought-to-be-dead Runaway Royalty and PRESTO AGAIN! I had an idea! You will just have to wait and see though, I'm not telling! I've decided to leave it as a novella instead of lengthening it into a novel... mostly because of my time limit and the fact that I'm running out of ideas for this story.

I wrote from 9 PM - 11 PM. I watched an episode of Roseanne and I tried to fall asleep (too bad it's about 100 degrees in my room WITH the window open :P ) and failed until about 2 AM. Do you know what it's like to fall asleep at 2 AM and be woken up at 6? It's not pleasant. Emphasis on the NOT.

I need to go to the bank...

I'm reading two books right now;
1) "The Five People You Meet in Heaven"
2) "Firefly Lane"
Both are really good... "Firefly" is on my Kindle though so I can't read it at school. "People" is from the library so I have to return it soon... but I only have like 20 pages left... maybe even less.

I love reading... I don't know why so many people loathe it. Millions of teens are online Facebook more hours than they are at school each day... reading posts... taking quizes... sending messages... call me crazy, but isn't that READING?! And I hate it when people give me the crap about how "it's boring." I'm like, "HOW THE HELL CAN IT BE BORING YOU MORON? EVERY TIME YOU OPEN A BOOK YOU ESCAPE THE REAL WORLD AND ENTIRE FANTASY LAND! YOU CALL THAT BORING?!!!" But maybe that's just me...

Hey, I'm complicated, but that's how I roll. ;)

I <3 HSM ;D

Okay... So no more promises...

Sorry!!!!!! I know I said I'd update every day this week but I couldn't! You know how things get! Stuff happens unexpectedly!!

Like alllll week we've been prepping for the HSA's (high school assesments) and I've been studying. And Friday - Saturday my sisters had dance recitals until like 11 at night... and on Friday Mel twisted her ankle during the finale and had to be rushed to the emergency room :\ it was so scary... I mean, I knew she would be fine but she was like crying and trying not to cry which only made her cry harder... She was trying to be brave... She danced through 3 whole dances without saying a word about her ankle hurting. She did a ballet dance, a jazz dance, and the finale (which was in sneakers) without crying or fussing or complaining. And I know that there is no way in HELL that I would've danced if I was in that much pain. I was really proud of her...

Anyway, I am updating my iTunes. My mom burned me a CD of a few songs that she thought I might like... I like :)

My grandma came for the recitals and guess what! She brought me a bunch of vinyls! Johnny Cash, Alabama, The BeeGees, and even an Elvis "Moody Blue" album... THE RECORD IS LITERALLY BLUE!!!!! Like almost translucent! It's soooo cool! Now I have like 8 records!!!!! :) Now all I need is an actual record player... that's what Amazon is for :D

Sorry it's been a while...

Hello my fellow teenagers. It is I, Megan, and I have some news.

1) I am officially 15 :)
2) I have HSA's next week (High School Assesment... Amer Gov :P )
3) Ben is great :)
4) I can't believe I still have a boyfriend :)
5) I got pretty good grades on my report card... Okay, so not my best but I still had all A's and B's!
6) I am thiiiiiiiiiiis close to buying a record player :)
7) I don't know if I already told you this but I found a few vinyl's in my Mom-Mom's basement... Thriller (Michael Jackson), Annie (the musical), GREATEST HITS (ABBA), and Grease :)
8) I lost a friend... and I am surprisingly not completely upset about it.
9) I have been in a really good mood lately... Sort of unusual for me x]
10) I have not written anything creative in weeks.

#10 is the one I am mostly obsessing over... My deadline for RR is June 17. If I don't finish it by then, I will NEVER finish it.

The good thing about #2 is that on the days when I am not testing, I don't have to go into school until 11!!!!! 3 1/2 HOURS LATE BABYYYYYY!!!! :D

I promise on my soul that I will update every day this week.

Except maybe not tomorrow... I am going to be a "techie" for my school next year :) Its like the people who do the lights and sound and microphones for all the shows at the school. I have a tour of the booth tomorrow with Care and we are supposed to stay for the whole orchestra concert. :)

Well its 8 so I have to get off :P TTFN! TA TA FOR NOW!!!!
