Countdown to 16: 30 days left

OMG!!!!! I just saw The Hunger Games.

E

C
!

Honestly one of the most fantastic movies I've ever seen. I heard it both ways though. I heard it was good and that it was horrible. I thought it was fabulous.

Some of the things were different though! Just little details. But if you read the book, you know what I mean.

The part with Rue though.....I cried. Actually more like I sobbed. I went with Charlotte, Kaitlyn, and a few of Kait's friends. Charlotte and I were crying so hard.

It was very violent.

If you're like me and you hate the "jump out at you" kind of scary, I don't recommend this. There was a lot of that because it's supposed to be in IMAX 3D but we just saw it in normal 2D.

It was amazing. I plan on having nightmares though. The Games were so scary in the books but I have the feeling I will be in the games tonight...

Let The Countdown Begin

Exactly one month until my 16th birthday. O. M. G.

I've decided that from now until my birthday I will post one thing everyday. It probably won't be long but it might be.

So here we go.

31 days until 16:

Favorite Song(s) this week:
Haven't Had Enough - Marianas trench
Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen

Favorite Food:
Cookies and Cream pie in my fridge.

Fun Fact:
Marie Antoinette and Henry VIII were actually executed before the war was over. French Revolution was until 1815 and the king and queen were killed in 1793. Omg.

The Vow

;) omg this movie was so cute! I honestly think it should've been called "Moment of Impact" though. Channing Tatum said that a LOT. It made more sense than "The Vow."

I went with my friend Carrie on Friday. We saw a matinee. It was weird...neither of us had really gone to a matinee before. We usually go at night because it's more fun!

We got super buttery popcorn (the theatre we went to has self serve butter!!!!!) and candy!!!! Carrie got Carebear Gummy bears (like always!) and I had Buncha Crunch (yum!). I had gone to the dollar store before the movies to buy candy so I also had Sour Patch Kids but we didn't end up eating those. They didn't go to waste though :)

For some reason there were no before the previews previews. You know how some theaters have trivia before the previews? Well, there weren't any on Friday. It was weird.

There were only a new people there. Us, this old couple who were trying to see Journey 2 (haha) and this single woman. It was awkward. Carrie and I were talking and then no one else was...

The movie was absolutely adorable. It was so sad though. It's based on a true story! That made it even sadder...and then the epilogue had info about the real couple. So sad :(

Our favorite quote from the movie was "Are you trying to make me diabetic or just fat?" which was said by Paige, Rachel McAdams' character. God, she's so pretty.

I loved this movie. It made me feel like there's not very many nice guys out there left but I want a Leo :)) (Channing Tatum's character).

If it's still playing near you, I definitely recommend seeing it!!!

My Secrets

I read in this months issue of Seventeen about a girl who posted a video on YouTube about 'her secrets' so I thought I'd do one too. Just not in video form.

1) My name is Megan.
2) I will be 16 on April 29
3) I have two best best friends.
4) They hate each other.
5) I cry a lot.
6) I am insecure about myself.
7) I have trouble looking people in the eye.
8) I can't walk in a straight line.
9) I have something called a 'nystagmus' which means my eyes can't focus and always appear to be twitching back and forth.
10) I've been in love with someone since I met him.
11) He's completely oblivious to it.
12) I recently got my learner's permit.
13) I'm an awful driver.
14) I only try hard in school if it's a subject I enjoy learning about. AKA; science is not a subject I like. But to be fair I don't have to try very hard in that class.
15) I have a good relationship with my parents.
16) I don't smoke, drink, do drugs, or party.
17) I've had 4 boyfriends.
18) I'm friendly with 2 of them still.
19) I try to make light of awkward/embarrassing situations. But it doesn't always work.

21) I got over it because I know they're not true :)
22) I'm an overachiever.
23) I often feel sad when I'm around my sisters because they are both athletic and I am not.
24) Writing is my sport.
25) My favorite color is purple.

27) I'm supposed to be finishing an AP World project right now but I'm blogging instead.
28) My favorite movie is "The Princess Bride."
29) My favorite song changes pretty much daily. Today is "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen.
30) I've accidentally fallen in love with characters that I've made up. Like Logan. I love Logan. If he were real, I'd marry him. I also like to pretend I'm my main character because they're lives are always simpler than mine is.

And there you go. 30 secrets. Okay so they're not really that secret but some of them are. To be honest, this didn't even take me that long. Only about 5 mins. And I have more secrets. But those will have to wait for next time ;)

Shopping Haul! (but not really)

Me and my bestie Kait (www.daydreamfantasy.blogspot.com) went shopping yesterday!!!!! :)

We went to the mall near our houses and had a blast. Our friend Ian was there too and hung out with us a bit.

We started at Five Guys Burgers and Fries. We ate lunch (I bought) and we sat and talked until like 1:30 (we met at 12:40ish). Then we went into Deb and tried on a bunch of prom dresses (we're not cool enough to go to prom....okay so we're not old enough but that's just details!) I found one that was red and had flowers on it and stuff and it was soo pretty!

After Deb we went to Victoria's Secret because Kait wanted some perfume and I wanted to see if they had any cute clothes from the Pink collection (this one shirt that Kait has in particular was what I was looking for...they didn't have it :/ ) That's where we met up with Ian.

After Secret we went to Bath and Body Works to look for more perfume because Kait didn't find one from Pink that she liked. I almost bought a new perfume but then I didn't because I remembered that my perfume at home is still half full and that I didn't need a new one. So frugal am I.

We went to NY and Co. after that. We tried on dresses that were very vintage looking and way too mature for us but they actually looked pretty good :)

Then came Charlotte Russe. Again, we tried on random dresses that we though were cute. I almost bought the sun dress I tried on but it was $40. I didn't like enough to spend $40 on it.

Then we got pretzels and they were yummy <3 I wish I had one right now...they're so good!

Then we went into Claire's. We didn't get anything but, again, I almost got a necklace that had a little robot man with a mustache! (the mustache phenomenon. I wrote a story in CRT Writ today about a turtle with a mustache). But, again again, I didn't buy it. :'(

Then we went to Old Navy! I finally bought something there! I got this blue tank shirt that's flowy and has a criss-cross back and it's so pretty :)) I'm going to wear it tomorrow when it's going to be 73 degrees!

Then we had to go. It was nearly 4 and both of us were tired. Kait's dad got to the mall before mine did and while I was sitting on a bench waiting for my dad, this cute boy kept walking past me looking at me :) I hope it was in an endearing way. I think it was :) I caught his eye at one point (okay well not really because I was wearing sunglasses but still) and I swear he smiled at me :D He was definitely older than me but I don't care. He was extremely handsome.

Attention BoyWhoWasAtTheMall: That was me ;)) hi!

Things Just Keep Getting Worse and Worse

The last few days have been excruciatingly horrible.

I've been made fun of, accused of lying, been told we'd be "perfect together" by a guy I don't like in that way, and I cut my finger open.

I don't even know how to begin. I just have to say something (even if I'm not actually saying it). I guess this doesn't really count though. I have a tendency to keep my emotions bottled up and then cry myself to sleep later.

I haven't been writing lately mostly because I haven't been feeling inspired at all. I know I could take anything that's happened to me over the last 16 years of my life and turn it into a great story but I just can't. I don't even know where to start.

So I just don't talk to anyone. I mean, I interact with humans (duh) but I don't talk about my problems. I never get the chance and when I do...I don't feel like thinking of the words to describe how I'm feeling or I just don't want to talk about it. Usually the latter.

I throw myself into just reading book after book. Pretending I'm the main character who eventually finds love or peace or something. Something I doubt I'll be finding any time soon.

Take Katniss for example. Katniss from "The Hunger Games" ends up having a boyfriend to love and who loves her. I mean, yeah, it was all an act (sorry if that spoiled it for you) but she still got something. She got freedom.

Let's look at Harry Potter. Him and his best friends vanquish the dark lord and all end up with their true loves. I can pretend to be Ginny or Hermione. I end up with the boy I've been in love with for as long as I can remember.

Highly realistic.

I shouldn't complain though. I have good friends and a loving family but sometimes the mean girls' words hurt. Sometimes the chocolate can only help so much. Sometimes the shower can only last so long. (If you're confused, let me explain. I take really hot showers when I'm upset. The steam calms me down).

Nothing helps. And don't tell me that talking it out helps. Because I've tried and the right words don't come out. Or the person won't listen. Not even joking, my guidance counselor asked ME what SHE should do about my problems. I went to her for guidance and she was...well for lack of a better term, a b!tch.

Maybe I should just stop having a social life. Then maybe I'll get an A on an apwh test for once and I'll make someone actually proud of me.
