New untitled song (possible grad ceremony song)

I'm out my slump. It would appear anyway. :)

I finally wrote a song. I started and finished it last night and I am very relieved. It's been about over a month since I finished a song (all I have in my songbook are like... 10 verses- all of which weren't going anywhere). I was trying to force creativity. I would attempt to write a song on a certain topic, because at the time I didn't know what I was inspired by, and it didn't lead anywhere. I was faking creativity. This time however, it was real.

It didn't take long after I stumbled upon a topic I was legitimately interested in to form a song about it. This topic wasn't decided before hand, it just ended up coming out of my mouth attached to the piano riff I was playing. Which is how all of my good songs are formed.

I feel like I got my mojo back. =] I feel right again.

I don't have a title for this new song, but I do like/appreciate the lyrics as they are pressing to myself and others my age right now. It's about the future, which is something we're all if not worrying, thinking heavily about. It's uplifting, which is nice. Before this latest bout of writer's block I was finding myself only writing negatively. For instance, one chorus I came up with was called "Wasting Away," another "Lost and Found." Not bad songs (or starts of songs) when I think back on them, but this one, for me at least, is much more refreshing. And needed at this point in my life.

Not only for myself, but for others graduating from high school and experiencing doubt in themselves and concerns about their future.

Before I begin, a message for all of you (if you don't find one in this song)- Don't rush. You have the rest of your life ahead of you. What's a year compared to that? Or two years?

...

UNTITLED FOR NOW

If there was only one way

then the world be a smaller place

I can decide my own fate

cause nothing is meant to be, nothing's safe

Don't feel sorry for me

for not making up my mind

I'll be just fine

I'll decide when the time is right

I'll live my life

I won't regret not choosing what's right in your mind

And if the path is already paved

What's the point in passion? What's the point in pain?

What if I don't want to fit in?

Isn't there beauty in not giving in?

I thought we could be whoever we wanted to be

Easy to say, not easy to see

I'll be just fine

I'll decide when the time is right

I'll live my life

I won't regret not choosing what's right in your mind

The most logical thing to me

is not pushing it out of reach

I'll be just fine

I'll decide when the time is right

I'll live my life

I won't regret not choosing what's right in your mind

...

Ha. I just thought that this could be my grad song audition. You know, where someone plays at the grad ceremony? I could play this.

._. I'm scared. But that's what life's all about!

TTYS, MUCH LOVE,

K

I actually worked on my album today. I KNOW. I didn't really get anywhere... Not really. But, at least I'm back at it. That's certainly progress.

School's tomorrow. It's bittersweet. I'll most likely be blogging less :( but hopefully producing more :) I repeat: it's bittersweet.

:P

Signing off,

K

P.S. Cady Groves' music is acoustic and it's delicious. And KitKat bars are the bomb.

^^

Time runs, really fast.

Time runs, really fast.

I feel like it's sprinting away from me.

I'm turning seventeen in six days. I know that's not a huge milestone, but it certainly holds importance to me. A lot has changed in the past two years of my life, and I can only imagine what changes are still to come.

It's my grad year. That alone is a HUGE change.

So far, grade 12's been good. Busy, but still good I'd say.

Everyday I make films with my friends, study English literature with some really cool and interesting people, and write.

Currently, I'm writing a play. I've never written a play before, so it's a very new experience. To be honest, my first playwriting experience has been REALLY rushed, and that's a part of school I am not so fond of. I'm a slow person, with many things. I'm also a bit of a perfectionist, so time limits are not cool beans with me.

My play is supposed to be finished by tomorrow. I'm at 28 pages (it has to be 30), so I'm almost there, but I still haven't wrapped my brain around how I'm concluding it.

Between this play, a webseries I'm editing, and my first English LIT midterm coming up (on my birthday I might add), I'm pretty swamped.

In other words, songwriting and producing my album have been neglected.

I am still, however, driven to finish my record. Especially since the Garageband upgrade with iLife '11 provides exactly what I need in order to complete it on my own.

Tempo changes!

HALLELUJAH!! ^^ THANK YOU MAC!

:)

Today is Thursday, remembrance day, so I have the day off.

I will wear my poppy, finish my play, finish editing the webseries and while I'm studying for my upcoming English LIT midterm I shall update my computer, and hopefully have time to start playing around with some of my music.

^^ ahh.

Ready.. set... GO!

Making Room

Well hi (:

I'm tired. I'm thirsty. I'm unmotivated. I'm distracted. I'm experiencing mild writer's block that I think I could fix decently easily by just... writing anyway. But here I am, spilling my thoughts to whoever it reaches on the other end of this thing we call "the internet."

Club Grad was the bomb. Seriously, I had a killer time. You'd think something with the name "Club Grad" (emphasis on the CLUB) would have lots to do with drinking, dancing, and just... things I don't like to do, but who would have thought there would actually be innocently fun things involved as well.

Well... I did. :] That's why I went. And I'm sure glad I did, because as I said before, awesomeness. It was pure awesomeness. :)

Let me some up the night for you with the following: free pizza, free all-play arcade, slushies, a deserted dance floor we had all to ourselves, private karaoke because no one else wanted to, and Jackass 3D.

Hells. Yeah.

Oh, and friends. Lots of friends. (:

I was beaming. It was sweet. Now, however, it's Tuesday night and I'm sitting at home typing up this blog entry because I'm outwardly avoiding what I should be doing. I should be working on my "Short Story," I put that in quotations because mine is not so short. I'm reaching eleven pages after formatting it correctly (taking away double spacing, it's easier to write it that way).

As my cousin Tisha would say, "hurrumph."

That pretty much sums up how I feel about my not-so-short-story. I really should just kill the main character now. It's dragging on! I'M DONE WITH IT!

BLAH Dx

._.

On the bright side, I have no other over-due, pressing assignments. AND I have a spare to catch up in, which makes me wonder why I'm so behind with my short story in the first place.

grumble grumble grumble.

As for my music endeavors, I don't really currently have any. This makes me down. BUT last night I was playing piano for quite some time and it got me stoked about my album again.

I would like to work on it this year, and not wait till I'm out of school, but you know... there's this thing called "life" that tends to get in the way. I don't want to use that as an excuse either, but it really is the truth of the matter.

My dad has his own work to attend to, let alone helping me with mine. I'm still in school, and it seems evident that there's a lot that comes with that (especially this year). It really only leaves the occasional weekend to work on anything. But then there are school projects, such as our Drama: Film and TV Anti-Drinking and Driving Commercial. That's this weekend. As well as this competition I'm in. Every other Sunday night downtown it's the Vancouver Island's Got Talent Competition. And then there's prepping for that. And then there's fitting in time with friends and family, and

AHHH. That's the life I was talking about.

But I'm not giving up. It will happen. I can make room for something I'm in love with.

I should just marry music and get it over with.

;) lol

This gives me the sudden urge to play my keyboard.

I'm off!

TTYS

New grade, new experiences, new vlog :)

Well hi there (:

It's been a while since I blogged last, and things are going pretty... great, actually =]

Grade twelve has been awesome so far. I love all of my classes, and have met some very cool new people. I have a spare now (a block with no class), and it's proven to be quite useful and very nice to have a break in the day. ^^

Usually, I go to starbucks and do work, but on one of my spares last week a lot of friends decided to join me, so we went to the park...

:) May I present to you part of the grad class of 2011. It still feels weird saying that.

This picture already makes me sad that it's all coming to an end. It's hard to believe, let along imagine what it's going to be like.

But before graduation comes, there are many other things coming in the immediate future. Like Halloween, my seventeenth birthday :), Christmas, hopefully some more Coffee Houses at school, prom (oh boy)...

And this weekend is "Club Grad" at silver city. Now that, I'm pretty excited for. An ENTIRE night (literally, all night long) of movies, friends, food, laughing, and shenanigans. Oh, and Jackass 3D, which I'm literally scared of.

>.<

But it'll be fun, just as long as I don't fall asleep!

Since this is my grad year, I'm going to make it a point to document it. Wether it's through pictures, video, blog posts, diary entries- you name it, it's going to be remembered.

Speaking of documentation, I've finished another vlog! I added onto it last night, since I've gathered more footage to include.

It's called "Life and Music" and it's in the style of "Life is Awesome."

You can watch both of them on my MobileMe account. :]

I'd love to be able to put them on YouTube, but since I used songs that aren't my own, there are copyright issues. It's silly, but it's the way it is.

So, enjoy :)

Till next time

xx Karly.

STOKED.

Hey there!

So I haven't been blogging for quite some time now, and this saddens me. A lot is going on right now, which is really just more material for me to blog about, but I find when this happens I do the opposite. Unlike when there's absolutely nothing going on- I blog like a maniac.

So- let me give you the low-down.

#1 We got a new kitten. I think his name is Charlie, it's been a week now and we haven't come up with anything better, so Charlie it has to be. I think we've always been kind of saving that name for a pet. I think he could grow to suit Charlie. Oh, and apparently it's spelt "Charly" because it's supposed to be like me and my brother's name combined. Chase + Karly = Charly.

Clever eh?

Anyway, here are some pictures of the newest addition to our family.

He's 10 weeks old now, and he's quite a handful. But that's okay.

What else do you expect from a kitten?

Like I've mentioned before in my blog, Louie (my first cat) is lonely, and this is one of the reasons, if not the main reason, I wanted to get another pet. It just didn't seem fair to have only one animal in the house. So far (and we've only had Charly for a week) him and Louie have been getting along pretty decently. Pretty good I'd say for the first week. Hopefully they'll be best friends! ^^ That's what I want to happen anyway.

So, I'll keep you posted about that. If I blog often enough anyway...

#2 Tisha and Melody (my cousin and my aunt) are coming to stay with us for almost two weeks, starting tomorrow! :) They're going to be looking for houses here because they're moving here soon after their visit- along with my other cousin Brianna. I'm sure I've mentioned them before.

I'm super stoked about it, and particularly stoked for tomorrow for numerous reasons.

1. We're picking them up from the airport in the morning, so me and my brother get to skip at least a half day of school. SCORE. =)
2. We're going to White Spot for breakfast after. YES.
3. And after all that awesomeness, we're also adding a visit to one of my favorite places in the whole word (actually, that's ridiculous, the world's a big place. Let's just say one of my favorite places on the island) Sidney!

^^ HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!

Most definitely my kind of day. =]

Come to think of it- this entire week is my kind of week. That's what's happening tomorrow, as well as a big family dinner involving Chili. lol =P Also I have to go to my Choir's sound check- a not so ideal part of the week- but oh well. I signed up for it. On Wednesday I get out of all my classes for the actual show (Choir), plus I have an orthodontist appointment in the morning. So that's gonna be cutting it really tight.

Now, this is where it starts to get interesting- On Thursday I think I'll go for a half day of school as well, and then me and my mum are off to Vancouver for the John Mayer concert!

HELLS YEAH.

One of my favorite artists ever. Needless to say- I'm bringing my camera. :]

It'll be fun, one of my cousins, Daryl, lives there, as well as my other aunt, and we'll be going out for dinner with them. We'll stay in a nice hotel and I'm assuming the next day we'll be making a "quick" stop at IKEA. My mums excited about that part. :P

We'll be back on Friday, late afternoon I think and my rents and my aunt are going out for a dinner party- so that just leaves me, my brother and my cousin alone in the house.

It's gonna be fun. =3 Fun filled with pizza, probably video games and lots and lots of laughing.

That brings us to the end of the week, and virtually no school.

See what I mean by my kind of week? ;)

We also get Monday off, like I couldn't ask for anymore! :P

It just keeps getting better. :-)

-Except for the fact that I'm pretty behind in school and it will leave me being even more behind, but that's all water under the bridge!

....ha ha.... ha..... ha ._.

Oh well, I won't sweat it. I'd much rather be spending my time going to concerts, being with family and just overall having FUN.

Everything else can just work itself out and revolve around that. For me, school certainly does not come first. Especially the messed up school system that we have nowadays.

And with that, I leave you.

Hope your week is as crazy and fun-filled as I predict mine's going to be.

K

YES I CAN!

Hello again!

Just wanted to write a blog post to organize my thoughts and goals. I feel like I've got quite a big helping on my plate right now, and I'm just not sure how to attack it. =P

First) There's my music. Which always comes somewhere near the very beginning of my thought process. And right now, what I'm thinking about is my first album. I've finished producing 3 songs (almost 4) that of which includes You'll Never Know, Rewind, Push and Play It Again is the one I'm almost done. It just needs some tweaking. So timeline wise, I'm pretty much on schedule, but I'd like to pick up the pace a bit. You see, I still have to record the harmony's for Rewind, and all the vocals and guitar for Push and Play It Again. At this point I'm just done doing all the Garageband work for those songs. Their still technically not finished. So that worries me just a tad, for I still have 6 more songs to complete by this May (June at the latest).

O_o

I can do that right?

Yes, I CAN...

I CAN!

And I must! And besides, not all of the songs have to be completely or overly produced. Just the main ones. I was even thinking of doing some more acoustic songs. Maybe with just a little strings, or electric guitar. Hmm.. I'm gonna play around with them. But I've decided that at the least, there are 7 songs that must be fully produced. And they are:

1) You'll Never Know

2) Rewind

3) Push

4) I Can Hear You

5) Stay Strong

6) Goody Two Shoes

7) Play It Again

And those are the songs I'm working on getting done right now. Then after that, I have to decide the 3 songs that also make it onto the record. And produce those! When I'm doing that, that'll be the home stretch. Actually.. maybe not just yet.

8)

9)

10)

After I'm done those 3 I will have completed my 10 song CD. =D And after that all there is left to do is choose and make the acoustic versions of two songs. That will be easy, and fun! ^.^

So there's my game plan for my album. Now I just have to stick with it and get 'er done! So far it's been pretty fun, but things have slowed down dramatically because of my illness (don't worry, just the common cold) and ..

SCHOOL =O

AAAHHH! I know. -_-

It's starting to get to me again. It just seems to be in the way! And it doesn't help that I'm starting to fall behind. =( With math (which was a given) and social studies (BIG TIME). I really have to pull it together. Not for me, but for my music. If I get too behind, juggling everything plus extra homework is going to be a struggle. Heck, I feel like I'm struggling already as it is! I mean, I'm okay with falling behind in school and getting a lesser grade because of it, but I'm definitely not okay with falling behind on my album and having to delay the release.

Which is why I must hold it together. And not go insane during the process.

I need to work really hard.

... Great! Nothing says buckling down and working hard like Christmas. x_x

But actually, the break from school helps a lot! In fact, I produced You'll Never Know during last years Winter break, which is what inspired this whole project! =]

=o Oh man, I produced You'll Never Know.. a year ago. O.o

Hm. =\

Well anyway, I just have to stay positive, motivated and hard working.

I've done enough slacking lately, and come to think of it, maybe that's one of the things that's been getting me down. I always feel better when I do something productive. I guess I hate being lazy, even though I can be sometimes.

Well, I think I've taken up a pretty good portion of your day, so that's all for now!

I'll check in soon, hopefully to report some progress.

Signing off,

Karly S

I don't feel like a teenager, never have.

You know what?

I love being organized. I almost thrive on it.

To feel sane, and complete.

I cleaned my room, and i thought that would be enough, but it wasn't.

I'm not really paying much attention to my classes right now. It never dawned on me that that would ever become a problem though. As I've said before, "I goof around at school, that's what it's for isn't it?" lol, well I still can, but I think I like being on top of things. And I don't like it when I'm not. It just doesn't feel good, it doesn't feel right for me.

I find I can get overwhelmed quite easily.

I'm the kind of person that takes pride in what they do.

I like to take pride in everything I do.

Tomorrow's Monday, and it's Sunday night, 9:02 PM, I think I can still somewhat salvage this weekend, and do something mildly productive and in the right step towards my.. new found point of few. My "realization."

I might, dare I say it, do some homework. =o

I know.

This is quite the breakthrough. :P

........................................

On another completely unrelated topic, I ended up watching "Shaun of the Dead" tonight with my folks, (Mum & Dad, and my brother).

It was quite enjoyable. ^-^ I like funny horror movies.

Speaking of horror movies, Halloween's coming up. Gotta figure out what I'm doing..

I've decided that I'm being a Hippy a long time ago, but I just don't know what the plan is for that night. I'm definitely finished with my Trick or Treating years, I was thinking of watching scary movies with my friend and totally freaking her out, because she hates scary movies. mwahahaha. Or there's my other friends "party." =P Don't ask why I put that in quotations, lol.

Well whatever I do, I'm gonna have fun with it. =]

I quite enjoy Halloween. :)

These are the three golden months:

1. Halloween

2. My Birthday (November 17th)

3. Christmas and New Years!

It's just so joyful! Lots of wonderful events coming up, I'm excited! :-]

Oh, and for my bday in November, I'll be SIXTEEN! =o

Hm.

That should be interesting, prime teenager age. lol

I don't feel like a teenager, never have.

I think I've felt the same since I was like, twelve. =P

Well, off to go do what I said!

Type to you soon ;)

High school's gettin' rough. From teenage pregnancies to bomb threats.

Hello yew.

Well, I got my haircut finally! That was on Tuesday, it's Thursday now.

I don't really feel like blogging right now, but I don't know what other slightly productive computer things I can get myself into.

There wasn't school today, on Wednesday right before the end of the school day the fire alarm went off, and the school was evacuated. Turns out there was a bomb threat, the classic old writing on the wall, threatening the student's safety. How lovely is that?

I'm in grade 11, and throughout my school years I've been through two experiences like this. This one I'm talking about now, and one back in grade 7. It's kind of scary, in grade 7 I stayed home for a week, including the "dooms day" because, well I was young, and when you think about it. Why would I go to school when someone's supposedly supposed to come in and shoot kids down? I'll refer to the term - "Better safe than sorry."

This time though, it was a bomb threat. AND there was ANOTHER one, just the same I think, at another high school near here. Everyone thinks it's a copy cat kid. A kid that heard about what happened at my school and said "Hey, they got the day off, I wouldn't mine having a day off too!" And just pulled the same thing.

Man, it's messed up when you really think about. I mean I know it's probably just some kids messing around, but their messing around with some serious stuff. And you never know, I don't want to end up like a victim from columbine.

O_o

God, that's horrifying.

High school's gettin' rough. From teenage pregnancies to bomb threats. Were all going back tomorrow, just two days after the ordeal.

I wouldn't say I'm a particularly paranoid person, but it makes you reconsider going, you know? It just makes you question, well, question your safety. Which is so horrible to think that we might not be safe at somewhere we spend most of our day at. 6 hours, everyday. The majority.

If they really want to fix this specific problem they should put up camera's in the bathrooms. Of course not in any stalls, but just outside, near the sinks, and door. That way, no one could write something like this and get away with it. Even if they did it in a stall, it wouldn't be hard to narrow it down to all the girls/boys who went into that certain stall. And then to that one person who did it.

I like to tell people that my high school isn't bad. (Because some people think it's rough). But when things happen like this, it's hard to defend it.

When it's with things like drugs, or fights, that doesn't really matter. As long as your not involved in that, you're fine. But when it's bomb threats, and mass shootings, your completely helpless. You can't help but be stuck with the roll of the victim. There's nothing you can do.

Now that's scary.

All we can do is just carry on.

I guess I'm going tomorrow... I guess we all are.

A blog in which I mention tomorrow being an eventful day, along with Grant and Sarah, two of my awesome friends. :]

Hm.. do math homework or write in my blog?..

WRITE IN MY BLOG.

Tomorrow is an eventful day.

Three eventful things are happening.

1. It's picture day - So everyone is going to get dressed up all nice and pretay! :P lol

2. Were going to Hiro's (It's Hiro's Thursday!) according to me, Heather and Grant. :]

3. Little Carley (aka my awesome ex neighborhood friend) is coming over after school!

In the words of Grant Alyn McLachlan..

"IT'S GOING TO BE EPIC!"

^_^

Indeed it will be. I'm actually kind of liking school right now. My classes, all around, are pretty fun. Besides math, but even that's not too bad. Sarah's in it for instance!

Oh, since I'm mentioning Sarah..

*********

"This is my 2nd Vlog.

It wasn't shot specifically for that purpose only, but we had a ton of fun filming it, as you can see, lol. This is an example of the kinds of things we do together. :P

When I say "we" I mean me and my friend that I met last year, in none other than Drama class. (I've met so many of my friends in drama classes over the years)

Her name's Sarah, Sarah Jaaaaane Cashin. :D

She's pretty amazing I'd say. She wants to be an SNL actor (her dream job) and that's made pretty obvious in this video. =P

I have the funnest time with her. (and yes I know funnest isn't a word).

She's the one that I can sleep over at her house and really not sleep at all. :P

We stay up till 5 in the morning, earliest was 3 or 4 I think, lol.

She's just hilarious.

I like having hilarious people in my life.

It makes it better. :)

Oh, and p.s. - don't judge us. ;) lol

-K<33"

*********

Okay, that was what I was GOING TO write for my 2nd Vlog.

But sadly the upload didn't work because it's 9 minutes long. :( sad face.

But I had to put that up because, well, Sarah is the greatest!

:D

That's two of my friends I've mentioned in this here blog.

Oh man, I love my friends so much.

Have I mentioned this before? Well in case I haven't..

MY FRIENDS ARE THE BOMB. ;)

They really, truly are.

Also, since I'm on the topic of awesome people,

my family is also pretty great. :)

In fact, right now I want to go run off with my mother and watch some TV and bake cookies. :) Isn't that such a mother-daughter thing to do? :P

So, until next time..

And I think I'm gonna post a special picture.. or maybe a few.. tee hee.. on here later.

So stay tuned! :]

A blog entry you probably won't want to even bother reading

I think that I hate routines.

School is one of those routines.. that I hate.

Like I said before it's insanely time consuming, it disrupts your peaceful morning, fills your day with non productive things (from my perspective anyway) and you don't, well I don't end up getting home till 4. And by the time that happens I'm tired, and I just want to relax. So i don't do anything, then we have dinner, and then it's late and I'm even more tired, and usually anyway, I just don't do anything.

lol. LAAAME, i know.

It's probably just how I'm feeling now.

I think I'm feeling quite depressed and down about it.

It's just the mood I'm in, I'll presume.

*sigh*

I just don't feel like doing ANYTHING.

Do you ever get like that? Where you literally just want to lay , i don't know, on your bed, or the couch and just lay there. I was thinking to myself, well I'm tired and I really don't want to do anything so, I could have a shower.. and I didn't even want to do that.

lol, this could be a little to much information for all of you out there, but, none the less, that is the fact. And that is what happened.

I don't lie much. or at all really.

Unless it's completely relevant. ;)

--- Just took a break to find my cat and play with him.

He's been depressed also lately. For a few weeks.. his name's Louie. :P

He's meowing right now...ugghh... he's become a lot of work.

------ Well, I just successfully played with him.

Didn't know that was possible. When he pounces, he actually doesn't bite and

scratch. He really is just playing. He's not trying to kill us! =o

He's lonely. That's why he's depressed and down.

Hmm.. that could be someone else's problem too..

He need's a friend. My mum actually mentioned the thought that we could get another cat. I thought that would be so cute, of course. Louie definitely needs a little friend. We can't play with him every second of the day, which is what he seems to want right now.

*sigh*

Wow, two sighs! =o

Could that be a record?

Well, I think I'm gonna have that shower now.

To be completely honest, I don't even feel like typing this entry up right now.

I'm in a "blah" mood.

And I can't even blame it on my period. :P

bahaha, sorry for any guys that happen to be reading this right now.

But, if your gonna read a 15 year old girl's blog, a very truthful 15 year old girl, that's bound to be mentioned at least once. lol

So, you asked for it! =P

Any who,

School tomorrow, must completely veg until then.

Sounds like a good game plan to me!

-K

Vma's, twilight, and school once again.

So tonight I watched the VMA's with my (in the words of Feath) "rentals" and it was indeed a very interesting one. Full of many interesting events.

And they weren't even lying this time.

It was the most SHOCKING VMA'S EVER! =P

Seriously man. wow.

From the MJ tribute's to Kanye west being a complete a**hole (yeah, that's right my blog is censored), to Beyonce being totally thoughtful and giving Taylor Swift her moment.

Now everyone hates Kanye, and loves Beyonce and Taylor Swift.

Oh, and I left out all of Lady Gaga's outfit changes. O.O

This is just one of them..

Scary huh?

I was sure startled and confused by them all.

They just kept on getting worse and more shocking than the one before.

Oi.

I just don't understand.

Anyway, it was quite interesting. I don't usually watch any awards show's but I wanted to watch this one for one specific reason.

THE NEW MOON TRAILER.

*Hallelujah!*

Although, I had already watched it on the internet (it was leaked onto YouTube) I still had to watch it on "the big screen" aka our decent sized HD TV.

It looked even more epic and exciting than before. :]

Call me a screaming fan girl, but I REALLY enjoy the Twilight series, and just about anything to do with it. BESIDES all of the sudden Vampire related things that are just deciding to come out now, after all of Twilight's huge success. Coincidence? I think not.

But, the reason I love twilight is because, (for me anyway) plain and simple. It's a funny, well written love story for the ages. that may seem a little pre mature to say "for the ages" but that's just how I see it personally. If titanic qualifies as that, then Twilight sure as heck does!

This (above) was my screensaver for a while. :] tee hee.

I just, absolutely love it. I think it's good to have something you mildly obsess over. =P

It feels good to get excited about something!

.......

On another note, school's tomorrow. It's a full week!

Horray?

Not quite.

But not, not hooray either. =P

It's not THAT bad. And tomorrow it's only a half day for me. I'm going to my orthodontist in the morning to get my moldings for my invisiline.

In 2 years I shall half straight teeth! I know that sounds like a long time but, I was just thinking how fast these last two years will go by in school, by the time that rolls around, I'll be rid of my "braces." Sounds like good timing right?

That's what I thought! :]

Well, I better start getting things ready for tomorrow.

And finally take my quilt out of the dryer, because I'm pretty sure it's dry by now!

=P lol.

Till next time,

"Have you ever met someone that confused you?"

Have you ever met someone that confused you?

Like literally, confused you. Like, the things that they say and do don't make sense to you.

From the way that they act, to the way that they look at you.

I've met somebody like that.

Of course, all of the people involved in my life (well with situations that are bad and.. weird) are left anonymous. So I won't name this person.

But I suppose, that's irrelevant anyway.

It's more of the circumstance.

It's just kind of funny.

It makes you think, it makes you question things. It makes you wonder..

Hm. =\

Well, I have all weekend to wonder, I won't see them again till then.

School is taking up a big fat chunk of my life.

And I don't like it. I'm not saying I don't like school, I'm saying I don't like how time consuming it is. So I've decided to just be a busy, positive person this year. Just go with the flow, and work a lot on my music on the weekends. I still really want to make my first album, and I won't let school interfere with that. Even though IT'S SO TIME CONSUMING.

lol, I'm so good at looking on the down side of things.

And I know how bad of a quality that is to have.

I just know that last year, going to high school, I didn't work as near as much on my music as I have been these past few weeks of summer. And now, even though school is back, I'm still going to try and keep working hard at it.

I call my music "my work" but it's really my play.

It's only technically work when I go busking, or play a gig anywhere, because I get paid.

lol, obviously.

So, that's today for you.

That's my thoughts and goals.

I'm going to go think some more and work towards achieving them. =P

Signing off,

Karly.

First Day of Grade 11

Today was the first day of school.

-_- / :)

It was .. good, kind of strange. It was definitely different.

Things happened that were good, and some that were bad.. and some that were just .. for lack of a better word - weird.

Hm, how do I feel about it?

Well, I feel kind of relieved, for some classes. Some classes should be interesting like Choir. Sounds like a lot of things that I wouldn't normally do. I don't even have choir tomorrow, it goes back and forth between Social Studies. So that's what I have tomorrow.

I have a killer headache right now. I guess that's gotta tell you something.. lol.

But to be fair, I didn't even have lunch. I checked out my "big boy" locker instead. =P

It's my first year with a tall one. It's pretty rad. :)

I don't think this year will be that bad.

It might actually be kind of.. fun. Dare I say it.

Oh yeah, and I'm going to Banff.

O_O

lol, it's for Choir. The Rocky Mountain Music Festival is there.

That should be very interesting.. choir in general should be. I don't really have much friends in that class. None of my immediate friends, that's for sure. But I did see some familiar faces. There's even an "ice breaker" party their holding.. yeah.. I sure hope that it doesn't involve any type of dancing.

Have I ever mentioned that? I don't dance.

I'm an awkward person. I find it embarrassing.

I've heard that a lot of musicians don't dance. Maybe it's because we make the music, and would rather tap our foot and bob our head then dance .. on a dance floor.

Hm, I don't think that explanation makes much sense at all. lol

But a lot of things today don't.

We'll see how tomorrow is..

That's all for now, I'll post an update, as always of how things go.

Till then,

Karly.

It's easy to fall off the ban wagon.

Why hellooo fellow bloggers! -actually, hello mostly non- bloggers. 

I think the majority of people who read my blog don't have blogs of their own. But, I highly recommend it. It's a great hobby, and it makes you more... involved in your life, more... aware of everything that you might not be as aware of if you didn't write that they happened every day. It makes you sharper. ;) 

BUT, it is easy to fall off the ban wagon once you've been riding it for a week or so. =P

Although, that could just be me. Besides music, most things I try for a while and I think I'm doing good until about a week or two and then I just end up stopping abruptly. Like, with my blogging for instance. I think I was blogging for a good couple of weeks (maybe a week and a half..) and then like lots of other things I just stopped. Which detours me quite a bit, because I'm a perfectionist and since I stopped writing entry's for a week I have this big empty space in the middle of my "daily posts" that annoys me so. >_<

..It was looking so pretty for a while there, lol.

But anyway, I'm back now and I guess that's all that matters in the scheme of things. 

I only have two more tests to do for catching up in school, those last pesky little Chemistry things. I'm planning on writing one this week and one next week on Tuesday- deadlines Wednesday. I'm cutting it close, I know. It's what I always do. 

After I'm finished those, are really somewhere more in between them I'll be working on doing a crap load of PE assignments. FUN. O.O I think the whole thing is really ridiculous. It kind of makes me mad, but I'm just gonna whip through them, finish them quickly (and hopefully painlessly) and be done with it all.

Now, after THAT I will be done. ^_^ ahhh, It'll be so blissful. 

Except for of course, when exams roll around which is right around the corner. AYIYI! =o

But, I'm not to worried anymore, in Math at least, I know that even if I fail the exam I still pass the course. Which makes me EXTREMELY relieved and content. =)

Lately, it's been summer weather, and I've probably mentioned in the past that I couldn't wait for it to finally come, and don't get me wrong I love it. It's beautiful, but man, this is some dang hot weather! I don't remember it being this hot this soon last year. But that could be just because time is flying by, it doesn't feel like it's almost summer- but indeed it is!

Which makes me very happy to think about, but also very stressed. (because of all the things needed to be done before then). But as my brother would say "Don't worry, everything will work out. It's fiine, it's great! It all works out in the end!" lol, and well, he's pretty much right. 

I need people like that in my life, reassuring me 24/7. If I didn't I'd probably go insane. 

Well, time for dinner and time for me to end my big giant rant. 

thanks for listening, well reading this far. ;)

Till next time

-Q (my mum calls me that).

Long, and unproductive Weekend.

Man oh man,

>_<

This weekend was a long weekend, but it could never be long enough.

My intentions were much different than the actual outcome.

Right now, my main focus is, well should be, to get all of my tests for school done. I only have one more Math test (trigonometry) and two Science tests (Chemistry). Well, I was able to put off studying for Trig until the last day of the weekend, which is Monday, tonight. =| 

It's getting down to the wire too. 

I'll have to get some help with Trigonometry as well, I've made it pretty far understanding a good portion of the material, but I just stopped a few minutes ago to take a break from it and type up this blog entry, because I'm stuck. I'll have to ask my brother. 

& I'm the type of person, where I can't focus very well on a bunch of different things needing to be done in a certain time frame, especially when their things like Trigonometry and Chemistry. Maybe I need to make a To Do list.. but it's not like I haven't done that before. 

I just have to buckle down and get this done, I can't really focus on what matters (in my books) until then. 

Like recording. >_<

='(

Which I really want to do! >.<

GROWL!

But, I have to get this out of the way first. I mean, AT LEAST my math test. 

*breathe*

one thing at a time.. . 

Right. -_-

Oh, and it rained today too. *smack in the face* =[
