***HL***

A warm welcome to you. So I have been uncapped for approximately thirty nine hours and forty one minutes, and let me tell you. I have downloaded so many movies that I have only nine gigabytes worth of free space in my laptop. It's amazing how I can almost use up two hundred and eighty six gigabytes when it's only been one year. So anyway, one of the movies that I downloaded is The Clique, you could say it is a cross breed between Gossip Girl and Mean Girls. However, one slight difference is it's based on girls in the seventh grade over in America, the country of glam and money. So anyway, today's post I will be known as Pinky Weatherton whereby I am a teenage high school girl in her senior year and an editor for the school newspaper The Nutmeg. Hope you do enjoy reading my stories. Good day to you all, HL.

'How to Create Character'

Audiences often ask if characters are based on "real people." Indeed, the impulse of the amateur is to write about "who one knows." The professional, on the other hand, understands the impossibility of such a task. The "creator" of the character must know more about the character than one could ever possibly know about a "real person". The author must possess complete knowledge: what the character was wearing on Christmas morning when he or she was five, what presents he or she received, who gave them, and how they were given. A "character", therefore, is a "real person" who exists in another plane, a parallel universe based on the author's perception of reality.
 When it comes to people - don't write about who you know, but what you know of human nature.

'The Queen Bee'

The trick to being a queen bee isn't necessarily beauty but industriousness. Beauty helps, but without the drive to get to the top and stay on top, beauty will only make you a bee-in-waiting. Passing down the crown to the next bee-in-waiting is like an annual tradition which commences once the old queen graduates. However, the new queen is always obvious. The 'Queen Bee' has beauty, blonde as can be, a cheerleader captain, ranked highest on the popularity scale and will always have THE accessory: the football team's captain. He has the looks, the reputation, the car but let's not forget the key feature that makes them both the perfect couple. The small brains. It is time to break the tradition. Any girl can be the Queen Bee, but what really is the point of having one if she's only got the looks and not the brain. The leader should be someone who has all the qualities of a perfect person. There really is no point in having a queen bee, if the only purpose of that person is to provide a rules and spread fear across the school. I would like to have this opportunity to give a shout-out to all the queen bees out there. After your year you will be officially irrelevant.

'The Nerd Prince'

It usually starts in September. If you're a girl, and a senior, you look around and wonder: Will I have a date for the prom? And if not, how can I find one? And this is where the Nerd Prince comes in.
He's the guy you overlooked in freshman, sophomore and junior year. First he was the short guy with the high voice. Then he was the taller guy with zits. And then, something happened. His voice deepened. He got contacts. And all of a sudden you find yourself sitting next to him in biology, and you think - hey, I could actually like this guy. 
And then the Nerd Prince has his pluses. Because he hasn't been corrupted by being the hot guy his whole life, he's grateful. And because he hasn't been yelled at by coaches or trampled on by the football team, he's actually kind of nice. You can trust him...

There you go, what did you guys think about it? True? Or not? Do leave comments even if it's not about my posts. I'd love to hear from my readers. Enjoy the rest of the day people. I believe it is time for me now to check up on my facebook and update my twitter. It's been so long.Toodledoo.

P.S: Big shout out to my anonymous person who visited my formspring and decided to be a coward and write a statement to me. I hope you're enjoying your life being a coward. Just to let you know, if you haven't realized formspring is a place to ask the user questions! DUH!

What is the point anymore? 10:55 PM April 28, 2010
It's late, I'm tired, yet my head is filled up with so much anger, feeling heart broken, experiencing delusions, making irrational decisions that seem to be rational at present. The only way to ease this load off my back is by blogging.


"Promise are made to keep". This saying is just a bunch of bullshit, if it really is true why do I find the people closest to me mistreating me and my emotions. Admit it, promises just aren't meant to exist, that's how I see it. If you don't see where I am coming from, then please let me explain myself. Ever ask yourself the reason as to why a promise is made to you and you feel all happy inside sensing a bit of hope, yet you find yourself experiencing excruciating pain when you realize that the promise was just a hoax. Deceptions, Lies, Betrayal. It's just all too much to bear. I am now over promises, any promises made towards me mean nothing, I will only believe what is told to me when I witness it. Just how many broken promises, how much pain can one endure. My answer? None, no one should have to experience any of this.


The feelings I have for my family are now gone. It has now officially been locked up under 'JUNK-OLD STUFF-THE PAST'. Emancipation. Up until the end of last year, this word wasn't a part of my vocabulary or dictionary. Ever wonder why? Because, I never knew such thing existed, never knew that one can undergo this process. At first I thought it was silly for someone to choose to emancipate from their parents, now I can understand why some kids choose this option instead of running away. I, for the past few hours have been drawing up a visual pro and con table up in my mind towards this idea. After holding a private debate with only me, myself and my conscience, I have decided that after I finish my final high school year (this year) I will officially ask the court to undergo emancipation and I will leave this family. This manipulative, selfish, arrogant, hypocritical and untrustworthy bunch of people. I deserve to have my own freedom, my own life, a life where I can do everything at my own pace and at my own free will. Now I know what you might be thinking, let me guess, is it somewhere along the lines of:
"WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS GIRL DOING?! ISN'T SHE BEING IRRATIONAL AND TAKING THINGS TO THE EXTREME?!"
Just to let you know, you may think that I am insane, but that's because you're not in my situation. One cannot endure a lot of pain, especially when it's caused by the people whom you love and thought who loved you in return. I just want to be able to have independence, my own social life, make my own decisions, be who I want to be, do what I want to do. My life wasn't created to be controlled by someone other than myself.  
I am a human being, not an animal or an experimentation.
My brain can function properly, I walk, talk, eat and play perfectly fine. So why does anyone have the right to tell me what to do and make decisions for me? I just don't get those people. I just want to get through this year peacefully and then I will be free once and for all. I hope to some day be like these birds.

Who's life is it anyway? 4:38 PM April 24, 2010
So it's a Saturday afternoon during a long weekend. This is the big year, a pile of homework and assignments that are supposed to be started on or completed by me. Yet I find myself accessing the internet, going on Facebook, MSN and watching The Vampire Diaries whilst blogging. How ridiculous. Well to some extent.

The second term to the year has begun. The first week over, I thought everything would be okay in my life. That is until this idea popped into my mind. Sometimes I wonder why people choose to be someone whom their not in front of other people. I mean, if people don't appreciate you for who you are then why would you want those people play a part in your life. But, I find myself somehow often knowing someone hiding their true self with the aid of lies, deception, fake qualities and personalities. Not to mention the fact that they can sometimes be so engulfed in hiding themselves that they end up becoming a backstabber. So you see, I find being someone that you're not comes with many consequences and bad qualities.



Now that that's off my chest, another issue. This is just a brief story. The year began and as a senior I knew that the formal will be happening soon. Week by week the formal crept up closer. So I bought my dress and got my heels a month before hand. Just when I think that all the stress of formal would disappear. It didn't. Do you know why? It's because I have now got the issue of my clutch, accessories, hair and nails etc. Although this is constantly in my mind and taking over my focus, I still believe that everything will be ready before the day of this amazing event. In just two more weeks and I will enjoy the best night of my life with the people I love. Finding myself, constantly smiling, laughing, taking photos, dancing, eating and having the time of life. I will now present to you exclusively the look of my dress.


So there you go. Well. feel free to comment and tell me whether or not you would like to be someone you're not. So we have now reached the end of this post. Time for me to attempt to start my homework. CIAO
