...those wings...

I haven't posted in forever! My goshness! Anyways, lotsa new stuff happening, the holidays are right around the corner, and it's still no less than 40 degrees here. Hmph.

Well, I'll start off with this weekend, I guess. Today I get to go see my old choir's winter concert! It'll be the first concert since 2001 that I have not attended. Scary, huh? It's gonna feel so weird not being up on the stage. I'm also supposed to do a report on it for my choir class now. Super easy, and it's worth 7.5% of my semester grade. I know most of the songs the Concert Choir is singing because I sang them when I was in 5th grade. I miss it already! And tomorrow I get to watch the first 13 episodes in English of Ouran High School Host Club! YAY! Even though I've seen them all, like, three times each already, but it's still awesome. :D Kyoya=Amazing HAWTness. Yeah.

Oh, and because we're reading To Kill A Mockingbird in English, I couldn't help but find some sort of reference to Meet the Robinsons. Atticus reminds me of Cornelius, Jem reminds me of Wilbur, and Scout reminds me of Lela! :D Sorry, I couldn't help it.

I'll never listen to the song 'Far Away' by Nickleback the same way. Ever. I don't feel like elaborating.

What else...? Oh, yeah stories! All Im working on right now is my NaNo story, No Petals Fall, and I'll Admit It. That's all I have time for right now. Sorry, y'all!

FINALLY! Last bit.

( Chapter 6 (unfinished) )

...

( Chapter 5, Part 3 )

o.0

( Chapter 5, Part 2 )

This is  the longest chapter, so I'm putting it in three parts.

( Chapter 5, Part 1 )

This is definitely the most posts I've put up in a day.

( Chapter 4, Part 2 )

Doodoodoo...

( Chapter 4, Part 1 )

Okay, okay, so I will explain the title. Gimme a second, and trust me, it's very good, even though it may not sound like it now. I just got the Ghost Hunt Season 1 Part 2 DVD yesterday and just finished up the last of twelve episodes. It really seemed like I had seen them all before, because I've watched all of the eps in Japanese at least five times since January, when I found the series. But I was watching the last episode and loving the last precious seconds of the story when, suddenly, it flips to a new screen that I've never seen before! That scene actually scared the living crap outta me, and it really added to the energy of the story. The episode resumed to what I'd seen before and I kind of blew it off, because it was only about fifteen seconds long. There was another boring new part, and I was like, "Oh, is that it? That's despressing..."

BUT THEN.

A new screen, Naru's laying in the hospital bed and wakes up with, of course, Mai and Masako leaning over him. Being the stupid jerk he is, he doesn't even care that the two girls are really worried about him and asks for John and Takigawa. Everyone comes forwards and they're all happy he's okay, but all of a sudden out of the blue, the screen pauses on Naru's face, and he says, "I'm sorry, guys," in, like, the sweetest voice I've ever heard him speak in.

O. M. F. G.

I screamed my head off and I swear to gawd I'm still laughing in delight. I watched the ep about three hours ago. :D Bwahaha, finally he admits his mistakes and says sorry!!! YAY!!!

Okay. *breathes* I'm good now.

NaNoWriMo is more than halfway over! I'm at 29,799 words exactly right now. I wrote that in only 18 days! I'm sooo proud of myself, because I've never written a story that long. Very awesome.

Oh, if you haven't bought Taylor Swift's new album "Fearless" yet, go do it right now. Right now. Go! Because it's freaking amazing. My favorite song is White Horse, because it reminds me of the relationship I have with this guy. (If you've been reading my earlier posts or you know me personally, you know who I'm talking about. =D) The song starts out like this:

"Say you're sorry, that face of an angel comes out,
Just when you need it to.
As I paced back and forth all this time
'Cause I honestly believed in you.
Holdin' on, the days drag on
Stupid girl, I shoulda known, I shoulda known

That a not a princess and this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood,
This is a small town
Now it's too late for you and your white horse
To come around."

It's an absolutely gorgeous song. I love it!

Ewww, the Twilight movie comes out in 13 hours. ICK!

Um, but that's about all for tonight.

Luvv y'all!
Later days,
Maddi

My new awesomeful discovery this week: writing on mirrors with whiteboard markers is incredibly addicting.

My second discovery: writing 50,000 words in one month is incredibly hard.

My third discovery: someone I trust is spilling my secrets, and I seriously need to find out who.

And finally: Harry Potter would be coming out in twelve days if it wasn't for that so-called bestseller Twit-light--I mean, Twilight.

Yes, NaNoWriMo has already driven me insane. Staying up till midnight each night on schoolnights just to get in 1667 words per day. Currently, I'm 1300 words behind right now. But because it's a new day, that would mean I'm 2967 words behind. Lovely. I'm still not able to come up with a good summary for my NaNo story, so I'll just wait. Have I said the title yet? I don't think so. It's called What You Don't Know Can't Hurt You. Basically, it's a fantasy/fiction/romance/action novel. Kingdom Hearts 3-based. Centers around amnesia, magic, and manipulation. That's about as good as I can describe it.

But one thing I've found to help me write faster is writing on my mirrors. It's very fun and makes me want to keep writing more and more of WYD just so I can write on my mirrors, erase it, then write more! :D LOL, I'm such a spaz. Like right now, if I look at my mirrors, they're covered in due dates, important days, and quotes I like. Just because I was bored, I started writing random words up there, too, but I erased those this morning.

Oh, yeah, Michael emailed me back. Said he heard I liked him from his best friend Marcel. I haven't seen Marcel since August, and then I don't even think I liked Michael. So, heh, someone's lying to me. Nice to know I have loyal friends, isn't it? *headdesk*

I might post again tomrrow, because this was short, but I always run out of things to say. So... bye!

Maddi

A girl and her boyfriend get in a crash between demensions, sending the girl to her friend's world without her memory, and the boy back to his hometown.

...That sounds so weird! It's actually a Kingdom Hearts fanfic, and is way more extensive than that, but it said only one sentence, so... you'll just have to wait for the finished project!

I really don't know how to start this. Hm. Let's see... oh, hey I just did! Yay! :D Anyways, to the news!

I finished watching all the Ouran eps in four days! Yay! Same time it took to watch all of the GH eps... 'cept I wasn't sobbing hysterically during the last ep of GH. Heh heh... well, I thought it was amazing. I knew it couldn't end with Tamaki leaving. Stupid drama queen narcissist. Just like I knew Naru couldn't die at the end of GH. Stupid narcissist. But, seriously it's scary how I can relate Ouran to GH. Like, how Kyouya and Yasuhara look identical, and are both pretty much evil masterminds? Or how Tamaki is a blonde Naru. (Except Tamaki's way more... flamboyant :) That's a good word for it. :D) And, seriously, Lin=Mori. And I couldn't help but find myself calling Haruhi Mai. They've got the exact same character, and look really similar. It was scary. The twins don't really remind me of anyone... and same with Honey. But we end up with that same feeling GH did: they're all one big family, and it's totally adorable!

(Kyouya's still amazing. Except I don't love him enough to be fangirling. Just... I think we're a lot alike. Like... the smartness, the undermining evilness, the crankiness in the mornings, having a best friend who's the total opposite, the wanting to help people whether it's selfless, for merits, or to teach a lesson... and the expectations.)

Okay, so now that I got my inner fangirl out, what else do I have to say? The dinnershow was a success! Standing ovation on both nights! :D So much fun. Oh, and I realized that i have started and never finished over 25 stories. :D About 15 will eventually be finished, but some are just kind of... dead. My imagination is wearing thin on those.

Halloween in less than a week! My costume is finished, I'm still making my friend's and my last friend still needs to get her t-shirt and the stuff she wants it to say to me... (Akky... :D). I'm going with my friend Lauren and Jenna, just like 6th grade! :D I'm so happy!!!

I SAW HSM 3! LOL, yes, I did. And it was way better than I thought it was going to be. Seriously, not as cheesy as 2, but I was still laughing at all of the Troy/Gabriella because it was so freaking annoying! It had one too many twists though... I kind of got sick of it and just wanted it to end. Songs were way good. I liked a Night to Remember, because the guys were so funny. OMG, our friend came in in the middle of the movie, sits down, and yells, "Troy, you're an idiot!" We all started cracking up and shushing her because there were like fifty little girls in the audience.

Hm. I kinda wanna go watch Ouran again. :D Anyways, later!

Maddi

Wow, this is pretty interesting. Because somehow everytime I get a crush on someone, I manage to tell everyone I know - EXCEPT my crush. Like, this has happened with my last three or four crushes. I guess it's just habit now :D They all find out eventually... when i say the time is right.

Like right now, my crush's ex-girlfriend is asking questions about me. Heh... this  may be a very good time to tell him I like him... :D

Well, it's been another week in the teenage life and everything else is pretty dull. Just some normal updates because I'm just lazy like that. =D

So everyone has heard of the show 'Recess,' yeah? Seriously, how could you not? It ran for nearly 8 years on Disney Channel, has six seasons, two movies, and is still running on Toon Disney. Of course, everything is still running on Toon Disney, so that really doesn't count. =) Anyway, if you still don't recognize it, I'll give a background because I have nothing better to do. It's all about fourth graders TJ Detweiler and his five friends Mikey (poetic, kind-hearted), Gretchen (the brainiac), Gus (the new kid), Spinelli (the tomboy, and Vince (the cool one)  It's all about the adventures on the playground XD. It's freaking genius. Anyway, I recently started watching that religiously again. It's amazing, nuff said.

OOOO FOR HALLOWEEN I'M BEING AN ANTI-TWILIGHTER NINJA! Okay, so maybe not ninja, but I am being an Anti-Twilighter. Its gong to be awesome: all black clothes and t-shirts that say: "Anti Twilight - Because Plots Rock!" On the back mine's gonna say, "Edward Cullen: Depressing Tinker Bell Since 2005." My friend's shirt is going to say, "Twilight is my new firewood. (VAMPIRE MARSHMALLOWS!)" Hee hee.

Two yayfull stories from chorus today! :D Okay, so, we were recording one of our songs so Mr. A could practice with the drums and right in the middle of the song, he points to me and mouths, "Do the solo!" This was my exact face: :0 >:| :/ WHAH!? He shoves the music into my hands (because I didn't know the solo), smiles, and motions for me to start singing. :D Death glares on my back... :D I was really happy and shaky after that, but unfortunately it was only for that day. Oh, well, it was wicked anyways. :D Then we had an officers meeting at lunch and one girl, Jessica, wanted to know all our names. So we were all going around and before I even got my name out, one of the seniors (the one who hugged me on orientation, Megan) is just like, "Maddi!" I just smiled and nodded, laughing because the look on Megan's face was so funny. I felt amazingly special, because not many people in the freshman choir knows half the Jazz Ensemble (very, very top choir, all seniors) from DGC :D

And now I ran outta stuff to talk about. :D Well, layta!

XOXO (You know you luvv me)

Stolen from Robin :D

-

Step 1: Put your iPod player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 35 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold the songs when someone guesses correctly. (Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!)

( The Meme )
That was totally fun :D Try and guess, people! (I'll give you a hint: there's way too many Hannah Montana songs for my liking...)

Peace out!
Maddi

Heh, okay, just noticed something big. So I just starting liking this guy I've known since kindergarten (we both liked each other then) again, but then I felt really awkward around him, which normally doesn't happen to me. So then I realized, after nonstop cluelessness that I still like the guy I liked over the summer, who's a grade lower than me and goes to a different school. But I get to see him tomorrow! So I'm wondering what I should do, because I'm sure the guy who doesn't go to my school already has a girlfriend and I'm, like, the only one dateless for Homecoming. And I might also be asked out by one of my guy friends who I just found out on Wednesday likes me. Again.

So pretty much: I need advice!

A slightly frantic,
Maddi

I know it's late. But I feel like utter crap right now and I need to rant. Today we had solos in chorus and I was beat out by the girl who told me I was an effin' bad singer. Her voice sucks! But this isn't the main thing that's bothering me. Not really, because I can get back at her any time I want. No, I'm starting to really wonder whether Mr. A actually likes me or not. It's impossible to tell. All of my friends say I'm his favorite. All of them. I take that as a compliment and smile as they say stuff like that. But now I start to see... does he really?

I can't think of more than two instances where he's made me feel really good about me as a singer. One: over two years ago in chorus where he repeatedly complimented me on how well I was doing that day. I sang a 3x3 solo well, I sang the 2nd Soprano part when no else could, and I did something else that I can't remember. Then I got Super Singer award at the end of 8th grade, and that was nice. I got an introduction, a smile and a wink. And a shiny plaque. But that's it. No other recognition. No even an effing solo.

I can think of many, many, many more instances when he's repeatedly made fun of me - my singing, my height, my personality, everything. It hurts. It really does. I'm not sure how much more I can take. In my old chorus, he said in front of the whole class, "Maddi, how in the world did you get in the second row?" And when I was freaking helping him move the whiteboards in front of the class, he says to everyone, "Oh, I hope she's tall enough." And I'm sick of the bloody dwarf jokes already. Seriously, I knew I was short in first grade. I knew I was short in third grade. I knew I was short in seventh grade. Does he honestly think I haven't gotten the bloody message yet? He's made me improve my singing in front of the class. He's told people I was bossy and rude. He's gotten mad at me for something I didn't do. He's done verbally everything to me. I don't know why I'm surprised every time it happens.

I'm just SICK of it already! Can't he just see that I'm trying so hard to impress him and be the best?! Can't he just notice my voice is just as good as someone else's? Can't he notice half the girls in the front row are shorter than me? Can't he just grow up and stop being a fucking bully? God dammit!

But even though I'm saying all of this, I'll know I'll go into chorus tomorrow with a smile and hope for the best, because I'll think something has actually changed. That maybe he's changed a bit, realized that I'm working so hard, and give me a reward. Because everyday, every week for eight years I've somehow believed the same thing. And I don't know how I've put up with it.

It's just too much for me to handle before I explode and get myself expelled. I don't know why I try anymore.

Nite.
Maddi

Okay, I'm sick. And I've probably been sick since Thursday morning, too. With a 102 degree tempertature I feel like total crap. And my throat is killing me too. And I'm tired. And I have a Spanish project due Monday which I haven't started yet. This is definitely not going to be a great weekend.

I ordered anti-Twilight wristbands yesterday, four of 'em. :) They say, "Anti-Twilight" on the front and "I Am Not Dazzled" on the back :) Can't wait to get those.

Ordering Ghost Hunt later today! Yes! Been waiting forever to buy it.

As you can tell because of my sparse writing, I'm beat. I'm not talkative at all today, and I have a craptastical headache, so I'm gonna go now... I need sleep...

Byeeee...
(a very sick) Maddi

So. I'll get right into it. I'm writing a new songfic, Cloud/Kaede, and to the songs "I Won't Say I'm In Love," "She's In Love," and "If Only," from Hercules and the Broadway Adaption of Little Mermaid, respectively. I know exactly what I'm writing for the first two, but for some reason, "If Only," has me completely stuck. Going absolutely nowhere, around and around in circles. I can't think of a plot line. GRR!  It seriously makes me want to rip my hair out! I mean, I guess because I've done so many different plotlines for Cloud and Kaede I've exhausted my imagination for new ideas. I know only one part part the I'm going to do. I'm thinking a masquerade, but then I can't picture Cloud at a masquerade ball. Heh. =) Then I thought of them being on a mission, but I don't know where they'd go. And that's where I blanked. Ugh. I'm trying to think of something original to do, but nothing's coming to me. I guess I'll wait a little longer and see what I come up with. =)

One month - finished! OMG-ness! Again, I have stories from chorus. Always from chorus. =) So I was in chorus this morning, and a pack of Starbursts came for me because I went to the freshman football game last night. Mr. A reads off the note and says, "Wow, awesome, Maddi! Thanks for sharing!"

And this is me: o.0 WAT.

Yeah, so he goes and opens MY CANDY and eats one, right in front of me, then he gives one to our pianist, and then freakin' throws it back at my face! And all this time everyone was laughing. He SO owes me Starbursts now. =p =)

Oh, and yesterday, we played 'Make Fun of the Short People,' in choir. Not. Cool. We're the Seven Dwarfs for our 'Disney Dinnershow.' I'm SO not wearing a beard. But supposedly I'm Bashful. And I'll probably have lines and a personal mic. =D I don't know the full details yet, though. Kind of scared how that's going to turn out. =D

OMG, Kingdom Heart: Re:Chain of Memories is coming out in the US on the PS2 on December, 2nd! Yeah! I am so super excited, because the one of the GBa was a freaking pain in the ass. I could not kill the stupid Riku Replica! Gah!! Heh, I ditched that game... Anyways, I'm sooo gonna get it and beat in and be like, "YAY!" =DDD Cloud is soooo hawt in that one. =D

My last announcement! Happy birthday to Gene Davis, Oliver Davis/Noll/Kazuya Shibuya/Naru/Mr.-I'm-SO-Handsome-And-Arrogant, what ever he wants to be called, from Ghost Hunt. Dammit, Naru, did you propose to Mai yet? R.I.P. Gene <3. And happy 28th birthday to Miss Hermione Granger! From the Harry Potter series of course =D

That's all for tonight!
Layta!
Maddi

O-M-F-G. I cannot believe it. I just can't. No. It's not happening. It's not all over. I can't believe it. No. I'm in shock. It's just not possible. I mean, I thought it was her all along, but... like this? Would she really do something this terrible for revenge? And right after she was re-accepted into her world? No.

She can't be dead.

So maybe I'm getting a little worked up about this, because it's only a book. But my God I can't believe it happened! I can't believe I was right all along! Revelation, the Private series. Read Private. It's effing awesome. But I don't believe the ending of Revelation. She. Can't. Be. Dead. Because Josh had to have saved her. Because he's totally effing awesome like that. Now I have to wait until effing FEBRUARY to find out if our little heroine is okay.

Or I can just write a fanfic. Not as good, but hell, it'll give me some sense of satisfaction. Heh, okay, so I already have 300 or so words written, and it's called Irony. From Noelle's POV, 'cuz Reed's kind of KO'd under Josh and that would be incredibly hard to write in normal Reed-first-person POV.

Anyway. Moving on. I have no homework this weekend! That's good. :D I better enjoy it now, huh? I know I'm not going to have this peace for long. But that also means I'll be totally bored this weekend. *sigh* At least next week I have a party. Yay! I still need to buy a present, I'm thinking an iTunes giftcard. 

Um, um, um, what else? Oh, yeah. Homecoming in, like, a month. Guess who's totally not going to get asked out? Me! Psh. I wonder why I bother.

OMG, Ghost Hunt Eps 1-3 are online in English and they totally messed up the voices except for Lin's and Ayako's. I was pissed off and going insane and laughing all at the same time as I watched the eps. I'm still getting the DVDs. :D

That's all for tonight, I'm gonna go read Revelation again. Buh-bye!

Maddi

 
Okay, that title made me feel like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh. I was singing that this morning, actually. "A wonderful thing is a Tigger. Tiggers are wonderful things! Their tops are made outta rubbah! Their bottoms are made outta springs! They're bouncy, flouncy, trouncy, pouncy - fun, fun, funfunfun! One of the wonderful things about is Tiggers is I'm the only one! IIIIIIIIIII'm the only one!" My friends looked like they were going to murder me. :D

Wow, that was so off topic. Anyway, moving on. :)

Skuh-ool. 'Easy peasy, rice-and-cheesy.' (Guess the reference... :D) Geez, I'm chock full of Disney tonight, aren't I? Anyway, as I said, easy. Not a lot of homework. I survived my first two weeks and two days. The only big school news I have is chorus, which totally deserves its own paragraph.

I'll get right to the point. We choose officers for each part in chorus. One for Soprano, one for Second Soprano, and one for Alto. So today every girl who wanted to be an officer had to come down to the front of the class and say why they wanted to be an officer, which technically means you're the leader and in change or your section. Of course Mr. A picks me to go first. Of course =P =) So I'm just like, "Hi, I'm Maddi, this is my first year in Women's Ensemble, and I'm a freshman. I was in DGC (my old chorus) for seven years, Honors for one year, and got Super Singer twice. I was in Leadship for two years at my middle school and a student body officer in 8th grade. I only will get mad if you purposely piss me off and I'd love to take charge. So... vote for me!"  It was pretty much like a job interview. In front of forty other people. So now I have to wait until everyone else has gone to sit down and vote. And, even though I knew I already had five votes for me yesterday, i was still freaking nervous. But I didn't need to be. I won! :D Now I get to... like, be special and stuff. Yeah =) It felt really good.

Anything else... oh, me and my friends are doing this Twilight spoof (sometime soon, I hope) and I asked this guy who would do, like, anything for me to be Mike and he said yes! Haha, I'm gonna be Rosalie, my friend Jess is gonna be Bella (Jess is the girl who turned me into a dictator in Just Trust Me, if any of you have read and remember that story). My friend Chiho/Noelle/whatever she wants to be called is the director/writer and Alice. Um, who else... *checks cast list* Oh, supposedly we have this really hot Edward... but I don't know him and he hasn't even signed on yet. So we may be a little out of luck there. And my friend Chandler (who's, like, the sweetest guy ever) is playing Emmett. =D

...

Oh... wait... I just realized...

Crap.

Sorry, just realized that 'cuz I don't read Twilight. My brain died a little when I tried to read the first book and I couldn't stop laughing at how pathetic the romance was ("She smells good and he's hot... true love, ain't it?" ...WTF?) and I wanted to strangle Bella by page three. Moving on, I've ranted enough about the demon book.

NEW ORIGINAL STORY! AWESOMEFULISTICAL! It's for NaNoWriMo, really, but I don't care, I'm starting it now. It's about royalty and it's genre is fantasy/mystery/romance. I like it so far =) I'll post it when I have more than 1000 words.

Other than that, I kinda have to go to bed now so... bye!

Layta!
Maddi
