30 Day Challenge- Day Twenty One

Soooooo. I skipped yesterday. My bad. I was tired and out of it and slightly sick. And I would do that one  today, but I don't know who are the top five most annoying celebrities to me (exceptforjustinbieberandmileycyrusandkristenstewartandmaggiegyllenhalandkevindurand)
Yup, like I said, I can't think of any...

So! Top Five Movies I Quote Constantly

30 Day Challenge- Day Eighteen

Top Five Favorite Pictures

Uhhh.

Hm.

Aight.

I'm just going to limit this to pictures that I have saved on my computer. Good? Good.

So...I dunno if this is actually one of my top five favorites? But it's definitely one of my favorite memories...? Yeah. We were exhausted. So so so exhausted. After a super fun time.

. . . Oh my. Sadly enough, this would probably be our trademark picture...our friendship is built on slinging insults back and forth ;)

I love this picture so stinkin' much. Ohmygoodness. They're so cute :)

Ha. Ha ha ha ha. I love my cousin dearly. She's ridiculous. And it's a darn good thing she doesn't follow my blog, otherwise I'd be dead... :D

This...you see, this is my cat's super bratty face. This was before we even got him. I shoulda known then...I shoulda known...(But isn't he so cute? :))

Oh, and my tumblr has been discovered. Well...technically I gave the person the link...but anywho, I'll probably be posting that link soon after I get everything on their how I want it to be. And I'll still be posting on here too!

30 Day Challenge- Day Seventeen

Top Five Favorite Things To Do Where I Live

I'm just going to take the liberties and say this is state-wide, because little ole' Glen Burnie doesn't have much in the scope of things to do...unless you count that one time someone suggested I fill fountains with soap bubbles...but we shan't get into that right now ;)

1) Inner Harbor. I don't go here nearly enough. I honestly wish I went into the city more often.

2) Walking around in Annapolis. There are so many different places to go! 'Specially when the weather is nice...super fun.

3) Cherry Blossom Festival in DC. I haven't been to this in, like, two years. And I wasn't able to go this year either which was depressing.

4) Driving around. Does this seem weird...since I don't even drive? Hah. My mom has a habit of taking back-roads. And I enjoy it greatly!

5) Zoo, Aquarium, Science Center, Smithsonian museums, etc.

30 Day Challenge- Day Sixteen

Top Five Things In Life I'd Like An Explanation For

1) Why. Just...why. There are so many things that this encompasses...individual things that I don't feel like dumping into the never-ending abyss that is the Internet.

2) Why I had to lose you friendship. I would've given up a number of other friendships...friendships that were solid but not as important to me as yours...

3) Why I have to take Geometry? Forreals now...I hate it lots and lots.

4) Why the things I want to remember I always seem to forget, but the things I want more than anything to forget are the things that I remember the best.

5) I don't know what else, really...except for a few things, I'm pretty content. There are a lot of menial things that I wonder about, but nothing that I can think of off the top of my head...

30 Day Challenge- Day Fifteen

Halfway done! Whoot!

Top Five Favorite Beverages

(So water is like a given and I'm not including it in this because I have too many!)

1) Coffee! Ah. I love coffee. Especially iced coffee. But the only way I'll drink it is with creamer & raw sugar...

2) Starbucks Iced Green Tea. One of my favorite things in the world. Especially during the summer!

3) Diet Coke. Sooo...I probably drink this way too much. But it's really the only soda I'll drink.

4) Chai Tea. Mmm. I can barely have it because my sister's allergic to it...but when I do...leave me alone and let me enjoy it :)

5) Bubble Tea. I love bubble tea so stinking much. Like thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much. And more.

~~~

So as a side note...I totally feel like everybody is leaving Blogger. Like everyone on the face of the earth. For tumblr. And to tell you the truth, I do have a tumblr...and I've just re-blogged a few things. But I feel like I can't fully leave Blogspot. Meh. And I feel like tumblr could be dangerous because it's slightly addicting...and also because I feel like you have to go through a whole bunch of crap in order to get to anything good. And that there's a lot of inappropriate stuff you can run into. But yet...it's nice to be able to find people who are just as (if not more...) obsessed with all the things you're obsessed with!
So maybe after I'm done my 30 day challenge, I'll switch over to tumblr. Or maybe I'll just keep posting on here and post on tumblr too. AH! Decisions, decisions :p

Remember...

Old friend, why are you so shy? 

Ain't like you to hold back 
or hide from the light. 

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited, 
but I couldn't stay away, 

I couldn't fight it. 

I had hopes you'd see my face, 

And that you'd be reminded that for me, 

It Isn't Over

This song...is just breathtaking. 

Remember a few days ago I mentioned something about feeling nostalgic? And thinking about someone from my past? Seems like that feeling has decided to stick around for a while. And I hate to sound inhospitable, but I don't have room for guests such as that. Is it really fair to be stuck with memories of somebody...memories so strong that they take you back, when you know they aren't thinking about you at all?

30 Day Challenge- Day Fourteen

Top Five Things I'd Do If I Had Magical Abilities

Not exactly sure what kind of magical abilities we're talkin' about here...I'm take the easy yet uber-cool route of saying I have all the magical abilities ever imagined.

1) I would find a way to meet all of my favorite celebrities. So lame...but oh-so-true ;)

2) I would use said magical abilities to avoid homework at all costs. All costs.

3) I would spy on people. Wait, wait, wait a second. I don't know how to make that sound non-stalker-ish...which doesn't seem possible. But uh...yeah. I would stalk people. Basically. But in a very non-stalker-ish way. Heh :)

4) Mind reading! I would just read peoples' minds. But there would have to be some kind of limitation because obviously, I wouldn't want to know everything they were thinking. That would be weird.

5) Okay...I stole this one of the blog of one of my favorite authors...who stole it from one of her students...but it made me laugh. "I would be able to hit Justin Bieber without being attacked by tons of screaming girls."
You better beliebe it. ;)

30 Day Challenge- Day Thirteen

I'm baaaack :D
Top Five Dream Jobs

1) Concert reviewer. If that's what it's called? Or if that exists? Hah. I would love to do that. Just to be able to go to tons of concerts and then write about them? That'd be pretty darn awesome.

2) Writer. This is probably what I'll end up doing, or what I'm aiming for at least. Just have to decide what type of writing I'm interested in the most.

3) Interviewer. Or, celebrity interviewer, I guess. I think that would be so fun!

4) Editor. This is another thing I'm considering.

5) Restaurant owner! So. I've always loved cooking. And I've been watching Food Network for like...ever...I don't know if I would actually want to have a full-out restaurant, but a little bakery-cafe :)

And as a side note...I keep thinking of things that I need to blog about and then I get on here and do this challenge deal and forget! Argh. Hopefully though, I'll be writing a real post soon!

30 Day Challenge- Day Twelve

I'm skipping today too. Not in the mood. At all. I'm frustrated. Grr.

30 Day Challenge- Day Eleven

Hi. I'm skipping this one because I can't think of five languages I wish I were fluent in! Kbye. :)

30 Day Challenge- Day Ten

Top Five Reasons I Feel The Way I Do Right Now

I feel lots of things right now...they're kind of conflicting one another.

1) Stressed. Gah. Stress...kind of a permanent thing for me these days. Why am I stressed? Lots of reasons that I don't really need to pour out on here.

2) Happy! I've been listening to upbeat music allllll day long, which oddly enough, improves my mood like...a lot.

3) Annoyed (I told you they all conflicted each other!). People annoy me. Need  I say more?

4) Nostalgic. I had a dream last night about somebody (Blame the Super Moon?) that I haven't thought about in a long, long time. And it was an intense dream...like I woke up and didn't know where I was. Now I've been thinking about that person all day.

5) Stoked. Tomorrow's my sixteenth birthday! 'Course, I already celebrated it like two weeks ago...but still, I'm pretty excited :D

30 Day Challenge

Top Five People I'd Like To Give A Piece of My Mind.
So...funny thing. It originally said "Top five people I'd like to kill" but,of course I changed it ;)

So I'm obviously not gonna list actual people...but types of people.

1) The people who don't know how good they have it and comain about the smallest things.

2) The people who think they know everything about everything and everyone.

3) Boys. Boys in general. Heh.

4) The people who don't know how to express or admit their feelings.

5) Er...the rest of the population of the earth? Haha.

30 Day Challenge- Day Eight

Top Five Fictional Crushes

1) Todd Spencer from the Christy Miller series. Oh dear. I don't even know where to start. He's perfect. Plain and simple as that. 

2) Edward Cullen from the Twilight Saga. Duh. Just duh. (In all actuality, I'm often torn between if I like Edward or Emmett more...)

3) Ian O'Shea from The Host. Ahhhh. Okay, he's honestly one of my favorite fictional characters ever. Period, dot dot dot exclamation point. And if you haven't read the book and met him, shame on you. Go read it. Join in on the Jared vs Ian battle (but it's not really a battle because Ian will always win). Gooooo! 

4) Peeta Mellark from The Hunger Games trilogy. Blonde hair, blue eyes, kind heart...swoon.

5) The last one...so hard. But I would have to say....Eli Lorenzo from the Katie Weldon series. Such an amazing, amazing guy. I seriously cried for him when I was reading the books...not sure how healthy that is, but hey. He deserved it. ;)

...So...the thing was "fictional characters", which obviously could have enveloped movies, plays, songs, etc etc. But guys in books...I dunno. They're so much more vivid to me. I have a serious problem. Heh.

And P.S....I really hate to do this, but I can't help it one bit.

It's Friday, Friday, we we we so excited!

30 Day Challenge- Day Seven

 Top Five Favorite Songs
Ohhhhh. Dear.
Oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear. 
This one is probably going to be even harder to do than the books one!
I chose a blog challenge that was "Top Fives" for a reason, ya know.
I'm so putting off having to choose just five.
Hmph. Okay, here goes.

1) "Undo" by Rush of Fools. This song...it's definitely one of my all time favorites. It's so true. And it's just...yeah.

2) "Young Forever" by The Ready Set. I don't know if I would call this one of my all time favorites...but currently? It's my most favoritest song in the world. I don't even know why. But it's such a fun song, and lately, I've only been listening to super upbeat music.

3) "Healing Begins" by Tenth Avenue North. Love this song so much. I found it at a time when I really needed it. (And for the record, that entire album is amazing. The whole thing. I love every single song on it.)

4) "The Saltwater Room" by Owl City. Can I just say...that it's pretty impossible to pick a favorite Owl City song? I guess it was between this one, "Meteor Shower", "Vanilla Twilight", "Strawberry Avalanche", "Hello Seattle", "Rainbow Veins"....wait, where was I going with this? Anyways...clearly, "The Saltwater Room" won. I loooove this song so much, it's kind of ridiculous. (And that lyrics video is so adorable...)

5) "Mary's Song (Oh My My My)" by Taylor Swift. So, lately, I honestly haven't even been listening to Taylor Swift because it came to a point where I think her songs were just...building guys up and up and up and then pushing them down. If that makes sense? Haha :) But this song I really do like. It's the cutest song in the world.

30 Day Challenge- Day Six

Top Five Things That Happened To Me This Year

We're still fairly early-on in this year...so I'm gonna go all the way back to like a year ago I guess...

1) I got my permit!! 

2) I've realized a lot of things this year about myself...a lot of things that, for years, have frustrated me because I couldn't figure out why they went the way they did, I've come to terms with those things.

3) I've grown a lot closer to God, and over the past year, He has shown me a lot of things.

4) I feel like I've done a lot of growing up this year...

5) I've also realized lots and lots...unlimited amounts, really, of things about friendship and family....things that have helped me deal with a lot of stuff in my life.

....I also realized in this blog post how often  I use the word "things" ...........

30 Day Challenge- Day Five

Okay, ooookay. I missed a day. Oops. But I'm okay with that because maybe now the days will line up? I dunno. Anywho, day five.
Top Five Places I'd Like To Live

1) The city. Which city? Don't know. But I like cities, for whatever reason. And actually, now that I think about it, I dunno if I would actually want to live in one, but I like 'em a lot.

2) England. For obvious reasons.

3) An old house. So, I don't know if this actually qualifies as a "place". But I really want to live in like an old manor house that's covered in ivy and has lots of little places to explore inside. With sitting rooms and libraries and fire places...and the only thing that would be super updated would be the kitchen and bathrooms. But everything else would still have that old-house feel to it, ya know?

4) Alaska. Not really. But I wouldn't mind living somewhere that has much milder summers. I hate heat.

5) A college dorm room. Know how long I've been looking forward to living in one of them? Liiiiike as long as I can remember. Now, if that actually happens, who knows, but I'm really hoping it does!

30 Day Challenge- Day 4

Okay. So technically, it's 12:06 and I should be asleep and this post might say "March 14th", but it's really March 13th and I'm battling with a bout of insomnia brought about by the time change anddd...lack of tiredness. So here is day 4!

Top Five Favorite Things About The Internet

1) Uhhh, blogging. Duhhh! ;) 

2) YouTube. It's such an addiction. It's bad. But I've discovered so much of my favorite music on there.

3) Browsing, shopping, researching, etc. It's so easy! (Don't I totally sound like an infomercial?) But really, it is.

4) Celebrity gossip sites. Okay, okay. I'll admit that I frequent them quite a lot...

5) ...Ahem...do I really need to even say this? It's kind of like a given, no? Facebook, of course. I like to stalk people keep up with people that I don't usually get the chance to talk to on a regular basis. So Facebook, email, etc etc.

One thing I don't like about the internet though...internet and technology...all these digital books! Kindle, Nook, iPad, iPhone, digital readers, online copies of books...and the list goes on. People are saying that pretty soon here, real, physical, beautiful books are going to be obsolete. And that is the day that I will...er...do something drastic? But no, forreal. I love books so much. Real books!

Oh, and for the record, last post said it was posted on Sunday, but I really posted it on Saturday. And this one is going to say Monday, but it's really from Sunday! Not that you care...but I was determined to do this everyday and now Blogger is ruining that dream!

...I think ranting meaninglessly is a sign of over-tiredness.

30 Day Challenge- Day 3

Top Five Names I Wish Were Mine.
Errr. I honestly have never been one of those people like, "Man, I wish my name was..."
So I guess I'll just list names that I really like?

1) Alexandra (Alex). I dunno why I like this name...just do. ;)

2) Penelope. Kay...funny story. I first started liking this name when I watched the movie Stuck In The Suburbs on Disney Channel. The rockstar's girlfriend was named Penelope and I really liked the name. True story.

3) Cassandra.

4) Elsie/Ellie...my female characters are usually named either Elsie or Ellie.

5) Lillian! Not really...I just needed a fifth name :p

On the topic of names, I used to be absolutely obsessed with the name Eric. So much. Every single story I wrote, the main male's name was Eric. I just loved the name so much! And I don't...even..know any Erics!

30 Day Challenge- Day Two

Top Five Favorite Books
...this one is going to be painful. I mean, how am I supposed to just pick five? That's like making a mother choose her favorite child. I looooove books. So much. So I'm including series in this...because it's hard enough to limit it down to that, let alone singular books within the series.

1) The Christy Miller/Sierra Jensen/Katie Weldon series by Robin Jones Gunn. I love these books. So much. I can pick one up, any one of them, flip to some random page in the middle, and become completely engrossed.

2) The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer. Love love love. I love the story, the characters, but I especially love Stephenie Meyer's writing style. It's brilliant.

3) The Charmed Life series by Jenny B. Jones. Same as the first, I can pick these up and just read them. And I can read them, set the book down, and ten seconds later pick it up and read it again. They're amazing. And full of sarcasm.

4) The Host by Stephenie Meyer. This is possibly the most emotional book I've ever read in my life. I had tears streaming down my eyes on several occasions, and trust me, that doesn't happen often.

5)  The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. Soooo, honestly, I don't read these a whole lot. It's more that I love the stories than I love to go back and re-read every book. But they're still definitely in my top five.

P.S.- I do like the Harry Potter books too. Lots and lots. But I've really only read them once, so I feel like they don't qualify for the top five...but they'd be a sure number six!

P.P.S.-The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins would maybe, possibly, probably be number 7.

P.P.P.S - See? I told you this one would be completely impossible...

30 Day Challenge- Top Fives- Day One

So. I really wanted to find a good thirty day challenge to do on my blog. Because I totally don't have anything better to do (like catch up on math before the quarter's over...). No, actually, I usually can't think of anything good to write about. So I figured doing a thirty day challenge would give me something to write about and be fun at the same time! I know you can do it two ways, like just do it whenever as long as you get all thirty days done, or do it every single day. I'm going to try to achieve the latter option. But, no promises, of course.

Okay, here goes.
Day one- Top five favorite excuses.
(I'm not sure if this is favorite excuses ever of favorite that I use...but I'm going to go with the first option.)

1) "My dog ate my homework" Okay, so this is just a common knowledge, "Ha.Ha, funny" excuse. But, sadly, I've heard it being used before. Like forreal.

2) "I'm not/wasn't feeling well" Does it need explanation?

3) "I have a problem with procrastination" Okay, okay. So in this case, this is one that I use...frequently.

4) After somebody tells you something, then corrects themselves, "You said two different things and I didn't know which one to follow!"

5) "I was/am playing FarmVille! (or any other ridiculous Facebook game)" I actually hate this excuse with a passion because it is so utterly ridiculous. But, after I get over my distaste for it, it makes me laugh. Hysterically.

~~~  

Whoo. Day one complete. So here's a list of all thirty days! (I think, technically, I'm supposed to cite where I got this from, which was tumblr. But I did tweak a few that I wouldn't have done. :p)

Trainwreck

I was just thinking about blogging. And you know what picture came to mind? Two trains on the same track, chugging along at full speed...towards each other. And then...crash, bang, boom...smoke. So if that is any indication of how this post is going to end up, then I sincerely apologize in advance. But hey, it might actually end up being the funniest thing you've ever read in your life, you know, me throwing all my thoughts out there...
So first things first...debate. Is over. Thank God, right? Yes. Ask anyone involved (the normal ones, at least...) and they will say, or scream, maybe...a big, rounded, "Yes!"
And no, I didn't win. Or rather, I didn't end up going to the Debate Off. I will admit that at first, I was a little bit disappointed. It's like at first, I was adamant about not wanting to go. But after months of work and preparation and stress and delusion...you begin to feel like Heck yeah, of course I wanna go further with this.
But as I sat in the front row at said Debate Off on Wednesday night, I was pretty glad I wasn't up there. I probably would have been extreeeeemly nervous. And, well, you know how it goes after that.
All in all, though, I'm pretty thankful for how my debate experience for the year went.
But I'm oh so glad it's over. 
Moving on...
Uh. Hold up...I can't remember what else I was going to talk about here.
And why is this? Well, I've run into this horrible spell of daydreaming. And I mean, like, I've got it bad. The kind that makes you stop what you're doing and blank out and look just as ridiculous as the people in movies? Yeah, that kind. The kind that you actually, literally have to shake your head when you're done to remind yourself that you're back in reality. I haven't been daydreaming this badly for years. Whether it's good or bad, well, I guess I'll find out. But I must say that it will probably end up being bad when I'm daydreaming and I walk into a brick wall of some sort again.
Hmph. What else was riding on that Train of Thought?
I can't remember. See? There goes the daydreaming again.
............
I've literally been sitting here for like five minutes now, humming Owl City and trying to retrieve all the clever things I was going to say in this blog. I'm taking that as an indication that a) I'm not going to get them back and b) It's time abandon this poor little train wreck of a post.
Which I shall do now.

Dear Stephanie

Dear StephyCar,

You may want to think twice about bringing any harm to my precious blog. Keep in mind that your mom will be at school tomorrow, and as somebody so nicely reminded us of yesterday, there are certain things that you just don't say to mothers. But I ah....might have forgotten what they were ;)

That is all.

Loooooooove,
NamyWei.
