A trip down memory lane...

Hello, guys!

 

So, I started reminiscing about my middle school experience and this short story that I wrote is the result of that. Enjoy!

 

The Preteen’s Tale

"Oh my gosh you guys, you totally have to hear this! So, saddestthing happened to me last month. There was this dude named Brian who was super gorgeous. My sister was like “girl, you need to be a man and just go up and talk to me!” and I was like “girl please!” and she was like “Don’t you start with me” and that pretty much went on for about two hours. hold on let me just fix hair Okay, so back to my story. After my sister’s words of wisdom, I gathered the courage to face my fears. Oh my gosh I am so deep! I should like totally be a philosopher like Aristotle or whatever his name is! So, I went to the lunch room one day and pretended to bump in to him. He was just too gorgeous for words. Johnny Depp’s got nothing on him. I ended up making him spill his milk all over his pants. I was so embarrassed! My sister, god why’d I even listen to her she’s just 9, said that he’d apologize for being in the way and then he’d look into my eyes and it would be love at first sight! Instead, he ended up rushing out of the cafeteria to the little boy’s room. What a tragedy. I waited for him to be done and then, when he finally came out, I said “I am so so sorry! Please forgive me, I didn’t mean to do that!” He just stood there awkwardly. “Hello? Anybody in that brain under that Justin Bieber hair?” Still more silence!” “This might be a bad time, but how about a date to that new Sweeney Todd movie? You can hold me at the scary parts! Which is all the parts!” That set him off. “Shut up! You can’t just stalk someone and expect everything to be perfect like a Disney movie! That has to be the most insincere apology I’ve ever heard in my entire life! You’re just trying to get a slice of the Brain pie! Well, desert time was over a long time ago and it’s past your bed time! Get out of here! And don’t go spilling milk over any other guys you fancy!” With those words coming out of his cute little mouth, I knew I was wearing him down. Giggling, I skipped away and said “See you Saturday at 7 P.M. and don’t be late!” I felt on top of the world as I walked home from school that afternoon. I kept thinking about how great our date was totally going to be! I called my bff Chelsea from my rock star glittery Hannah Montana phone and told her all about the delicious Brian. She screeched and encouraged me! I love how my girl always has my back! Soon enough, Saturday came around. I had my daddy drop me off at the Cobb at 6:30. I waited until 7 and he still wasn’t there! 7:01. Still not there. 7:02. Still not there. I cried and cried for weeks after that unfortunate event. I had my daddy call his mommy and yell at her. Apparently he finds me creepy and weird. Whatever. The moral of this story is that all men are terrible! Never forget that, m’dears. They’ll stand you up and don’t appreciate the art of stalking."

 

Much love,

From the tender age of 8

Hey there, everyone!

My condolences for not updating this blog more frequently. I've been swamped with lots of duties that life has thrown at me. I will try to blog more and more often now. For today, folks, I wanted to show you a short story that I wrote waaay back in elementary school.

"Have you ever wanted to disappear? Ever done something embarrassing or just plain awful? Thought you were in ciaos? Join the crowd! But don't give up hope! Good luck will come with a good luck charm! Good things can happen. It even happened to me before. It all started on a Monday. I was very sleepy and was just waking up. I stared at the clock. I would be 30 minutes late for school! I had never slept in before! But I knew complaining would be wasting my time so I quickly dressed and brushed my teeth and headed down to breakfast. I told my mom I wanted waffles for breakfast. But she said "Honey, we're out of syrup". I was so desperate for waffles I even asked for them without syrup. But all she said was the same thing, we ran out! I was very frustrated. So, I asked for my favorite cereal. But, we only had my least favorite cereal that tasted like grass. I gave a loud groan. And as if I weren't frustrated enough, when I poured milk for my cereal it spilled all over my shirt! I was so mad I kicked at the table, screamed, and stomped to my room to change. When I was finished changing I waited for the late bus. And guess what?, when it came around my street it splashed mud all over my body. I screamed. I didn't have time to change so I had to go to school looking a mess. I growled at the bus driver and got on the bus. I hollered "Thanks a lot!" to the bus driver. "Sure thing!" he said. I stared at him. Apparently he didn't get it. Finally we got to school. I rushed to the classroom. I turned the doorknob. It was locked. I banged on the door but there was no reply. I looked through the window but on one was inside. I heard my teacher clap her hands loudly. I followed the sound to a place full of bugs and mud. Eeeeeeeeewwwww! "Class, may I have your attention?" my teacher asked. May I means I may or else and asked means demanded in Mrs.Balley's talk. "Yesterday a thief broke into our classroom and stole all our supplies. The markers, pens, books, everything! We were going to finish our book, The lion the with and the wardrobe for homework but they stole those books! Instead, you must write a 10 paged essay on the author of the book." I gave a silent moan. I kicked at the grass. It wasn't fair! I had really wanted to finish that book, I loved it! When would the misery ever end? With the teacher done talking the kids noticed my disheveled look with mud all over me. They stared and laughed. I felt like I would cry, but I didn't, I had something stuck in my eyes. I searched the place for my best friend Kayla. She would defend me. But turns out, she was sick at home! I rushed to the bathroom to wash my face. I was also thirsty so I walked to the fountain. I saw something silver shining in the sunlight right by the fountain. I walked to get a closer look. It was a charm bracelet! I loved it; it had all my favorite things on it, a dog, a daisy and a heart. I decided if I asked the class everyone would say it was theirs because they'd want it. I picked it up. And, surprisingly, I wasn't thirsty anymore. I walked back to the class slowly so I'd be missing the worst subject math, and just get to go to my favorite class, writing. I got their right on time. The rest of the day went by smoothly. I couldn't wait for tomorrow. It was the day the teacher would draw names from a hat and people could win prizes. I wore my bracelet. The next day I got to school right on time. I crossed my fingers for luck as Mrs.Balley moved her fingers around the hat. She pulled out a slip of paper. "Miss Amanda, please come up to claim your brand new supply of markers" she said. I did cartwheels of joy, for 5 years I didn't have markers! I had been using the teacher's markers since then. But now I got my own! I knew this would be a great day. I searched the place for Kayla and, unlike yesterday, she was there! She was as happy as I was about the markers and congratulated me. And she was thanked for being a good sport about not winning because the next round she won! She got new notebooks. I was happy for her but secretly I wanted the notebooks. Not only that, but after that she said the 10 paged essay was canceled! The bell rang. When I got home, my mom had a surprise for me. And they were none other than new notebooks! I danced around for joy. I suddenly realized my bracelet had done all this. But to prove this I took off the bracelet. I had wanted to play baseball at Kayla's house, but it started raining. I quickly put the bracelet back on. The phone rang, and it was Kayla saying she would come over for a party inside! I hugged my bracelet so much. I couldn't even remember the pain and misery I used to have! And it was all thanks to the bracelet. So if you want good luck, get a charm bracelet! For boys, take of the charms so it doesn't look girly. It's awesome; all you need for good luck is a simple bracelet!"

My dramatic attitude never ceases to make me smile. ;)


Until next time!

Sweet Valley Thoughts

How's it going, my Interwebs buddies? I've been re-reading Sweet Valley books and then laughing at hilarious reviews on http://shannonsweetvalley.com/ and http://1bruce1.livejournal.com/ I thought I'd share some thoughts of my own on a the adventures of the Wacky Wakefield twins.

First of all, I'm going to rate the different series.

1. Sweet Valley Jr. High- The most realistic, by far, in my opinion. Maybe it's fact everyone can relate to the switching schools scenario. I don't know what the reason is, but I've become attached to Kristen and Anna. They are so down to earth and cool. And Lacey replaces Lila Fowler with her constant snarking.

                                                 

2. Sweet Valley Twins- Instead of cheating over boyfriends and spiking each other's punches, Elizabeth and Jessica aren't total jerks in this series like they are in Sweet Valley High! They are generally good people. *le gasp* If only they stayed that way. True, Jessica is still evil-ish, but she is only twelve in SVT and would not go as far as to spike her sister's punch at some crazy party like she'd grow up to do at age sixteen.

                                                       
                                             

3. Sweet Valley High- As absolutely ridiculous as the story lines are, I cannot help admitting my guilty pleasure in reading these books. And for that reason only, I cannot put them last. Kidnapping, vampires, wild parties, nearly escaping death miraculously (multiple times, that is), these books never bore me. But, Jessica is a crazy psychopath who is evil and bad to the core while Elizabeth is a fluffy little bunny who poops rainbows and sunshine.

                                   

4. Sweet Valley Kids- Really easy reads. Kind of boring and not much really happens. Ehh. I haven't read the whole series. Couldn't get past three of them.
                               

5. Sweet Valley High- Senior Year- Definitely the worst. The new characters are all pooheads who need serious personality makeovers and need to get over their petty little insignificant problems. They keep on moping about dating and ignore the few things in life that really matter. Like family, school, and their future. Sure, they mention these things with subplots about divorced parents and scholarship contests (emphasis on MENTIONED), but it lasts about five seconds and then the dumb characters go back to crying over having no boyfriend. Go die.

Second of all, I have noticed that a recurring theme in these books is beauty. The ghost writers for Francine spend over half of every book just describing how slim someone is, how  much time someone spends on their tan, or how long and thick someone's hair is. It's sickening, really. That being said, the constant description of the twins makes me think of Aly and A.J. Michalka. You know, the girls on Disney Channel who starred in that silly movie called Cow Belles? They apparently have some sort of a band right now called 78violet. They actually sing pretty well. I wonder what Liz and Jess would sound like. *cringes* Anyways, except for eye color, I see Liz and Jess as Aly and A.J. I personally feel that they should be used as cover models, not the "pretty" girls they have been using for SV book covers. Just saying

                     

That's all for now!

Welcome!

Hello, darlings that I haven't had the pleasure of meeting. Okay. I'm going to stop before I make myself nauseous and lose my dinner. Yuck. I am very excited to begin to blog to share with the universe my love for laughing at the things I loved when I was younger. I'll be talking about Sweet Valley, Animaniacs, SchoolHouse Rock, and things of that sort.

Tata for now!
