I won't be posting anymore blogs for a while now. I had someone take a post and give it to someone that was NEVER suppose to see it. It hurt someone so now I feel super guilty. And that is not good that ISSMA is only 2 days away. And I really don't want that to happen again so if I post a blog it won't be about people I know. Or at least I won't mention names.

Annoyed
Everyone is complaining about something. And I'm getting really irritated. Why can't people be happy with what they have? I know I've complained in the past but it's really annoying when other people are doing it constantly. Well I have nothing else to say besides that. Really short but I can't think of anything else.

Mood and Music(It's an aliteration!)
I have always firmly believed that music can change your mood. Why do you ask? Because there are different types of music with different feels. And I have had several experiences with this. Remember the first ever blog post I did? On that day when I got home I turned on my favorite Comcast Music Channel which is called Stage and Screen. (All the songs are from musicals,movies,operas, and TV) Pretty soon I was singing along with all the different musical songs and laughing at myself. And sometimes when I hear a certain song my mood changes with the song. Like the song "Careless Whispers" by WHAM! That song makes me feel relaxed and pretty mellow even though it's an amazing break up song. The song is actually about a guy who's girlfriend/fiancee/wife (I'm not sure which. The was a ring though.) finds him having Se. with another woman. The whole song is about how sad he is and how he wishes he could have her back. (Trust me most of the songs are happy just really this and Last Christmas are about break ups.) Anyway comment if you have had this experience or just want to comment on it.

Chosen
I just finished the book Chosen by P.C. and Kristin Cast. It is the third book in the House of Night Series. It would be really smart to read the first two first. Otherwise you'll be so confused the book won't be any good. It's about Zoey Redbird a very powerful vampyre fledglings, and how she handles that her mentor is evil, her best friend is undead, and she has THREE boyfriends. It's full of turmoil, action, and lots of romance. And I mean LOTS. So much that at sometimes I had to stop reading because it got so intimate. Some of the book you feel like throwing it against a wall. Mostly that's at the end. Some times you want to walk into the book and strangle Zoey about her stupid choices. And sometimes you'll laugh, cry and groan out loud. It's a really good book and it's basically Twilight and Harry Potter combined. I'm guessing most people will like it. It's so popular at my school that my friends and I have to trade them around.

Shutout
I just finished watching the 82 annual Academy Awards. I was surprised to see that "Avatar" didn't get a single big award. The movie was shut out by "The Hurt Locker" which one both best picture and best director. "Avatar" won visual effects,Cinematography, and Art Direction. None of those awards are very big. So why do you think it was shutout of the big awards? It's because the people on the board that chooses the winners doesn't like that it was mostly computerized. Apparently nothing beats good ole live action. Even though James Cameron was the most vocal in his campaigning. He said it was live action because there where actors in it. That's not what the voters thought. Oh well. Maybe "Avatar 2" (there will be a sequel) will win it's year.

From Flying High to as Low as the Center of the Earth
Do you have those days when it starts out amazing and great and by the end it's horrible?? Well today sure feels like that. This morning was great but by now not so much. The beginning was my favorite classes and in both of them we did hardly anything. Science was okay but my teacher can be sort of a downer. Then orchestra. Let's just say horrible and that I was silently crying for at least half the period and no one noticed. That really put a damper on my next period math. Math is not my favorite subject so it's not really enjoyable anyway. Then I talked to my friends on the way to get my violin. It made me feel a little bit better. And when I walked into the orchestra room Mr.Powell said hi to me. I completely ignored him and got my violin from my locker slamming the door shut. I turned to walk out and he was standing in the doorway of the instrument room and asked how I was. I totally lied and said I was fine when I soooo wasn't. I walked to the bus and on the way home thought it over. I felt bad and decided I would apologize to him in the morning if I saw him. Then I get home and read what my friend had to say about something I posted. I got mad at her opinion and probley over reacted. Now I think most of my friends are pissed off at me and I feel terrible. I've been crying to much lately. If only hurt could just disappear like magic. But unfortunately life doesn't work that way.

Mixed Emotions or Teacher Dislike??
Friday I found out my orchestra teacher Mr.Powell choose who got the solo for ISSMA contest. It was my one of my best friend's Lexi. Now Lexi is an amazing player but I was still hurt by his decision. People have alwaysed told me my violin playing would get me somewhere. But have I heard that I am somewhat good from Mr.Powell? Not a single word. This makes me really upset because he has told everyone else that was in my ISSMA group they were good. Me. Nada. For some reason I think he dislikes me. My guess is because I don't take lessons from the college or the school. I take lessons from a lady that has gone to the IU,Northwestern,and Iowa school's of music. Three of the best music schools in the midwest. I think that's really impressive and she's helped me so much. I also think Mr.Powell resent's the fact that I take lessons from her. It makes me sad and really mad at him. Now that period really takes the joy from my day. It must be oblivious to him how much I'm displeased in that class. It should seem obvious because I come in laughing with my friends. Durring the class I hardly smile or laugh. But once I'm out of there I'm back to my happy state. Doesn't that seem obvious?? Well that's my I guess mini rant. I'm not sure exactly what to call it but I feel much better after typing this.
