Hey, blogettes! I am so sorry to tell you ladies this news because I know you were all looking forward to it, but when I tired to import my vlog, it said that it was too long and large to be uploaded to my type of blog. My blog is apparently to small of a blog to have homemade videos on it like mine. I guess what that means is that I need to get more page views and viewers on here everyday in order to open the door for vlogs. On the other side of things, the vlog that I had made was more amazing than I thought my first vlog would be. I adore the way that it turned out and I feel bad that I can't show it to you right away because of Blogger's stupid rule.
We are also officially a week out from the kick off night for the musical Hello Dolly, for our high school's fall production. It has been a challenge to catch up and make the musical look like it does now, and we still have a lot of work to be done, but we do have sets built and props and costumes in finally. Now the thing is, will the costumes fit, and the props work out. The pressure is on and there is no turning back now. It's go time. It's time to make thing happen for the better, and now everything has to be well thought out because there will be no time to make changes. We're going to need all the time that we can get from now on to work on the show. I have even been practicing on my own time so that I can show the directors that they can use me for set building during practice times because I have got the things down.
The main stage still needs to be painted, but you can slowly see the key things that kind of give you hints as to what the show is. The only thing that may delay the show now is the cross country kids since they made it to state which is three hours away. They may not make it back in time for hair and make up which takes awhile causing the show to be delayed for at least ten minutes while they get ready. I am so proud to say that they made it to state because they all worked hard this season, and showed that they all wanted that berth badly. The kids from our school actually dominated the state qualifying meet being the top finishers of the team. I guess we are the school that can really handle a higher level than what we are. We may be small, but we have amazing people who do amazing things.
We work hard, and most people that go to school are involved in other things in the community or school, like fine arts, sports, work, or some people do all three. Since I am not old enough to work yet, I am in the fine arts and sports at school. This summer will be my first summer detasseling and no I am not excited to get up early in the morning and then end up working in the late afternoon, but I need the money, and my older sister said that she earned a lot of money detasseling. I swear right now I am in need of money for college, and to get some things that I need to get by in school.
The teenage years are a whirlwind, with people trying to find who they really are, and hopefully our blog will help us all survive these odd years of our life.

Top Hits Right Now(Videos)
Hey, blogettes! These are the songs that I am in love with right now, and they are what I live on when the days get rough, alongside prayers, and support from my email chat buddy, and some other people at school. I hope you enjoy, and I did unblock anonymous comments for now, but the one thing I ask is keep your comments classy, and relatable to what I am talking about in the post. Also think about how you would feel if you were to get that comment. Now, I am not saying that it was one of you girls that were cyberbullying me, but if it was, I want you to know that it was not okay, and you made me disable so many blogettes' voices on this blog because of it.
Anyways with that said and out of the way, I am pleased to show you the songs, or should I say audio of the songs that are my top hits right now. I promise that a vlog is on the way once this full run play practice schedule gets underway and I have my cues and everything for the show done. So you ladies only have to wait a little while longer for the first vlog, and I know I'm super excited to show it to you and make it happen since it has been in the works for so long.
Anyways, now it's video time, also known as the time that you ladies have read this post and been waiting for. These songs are in no order, and all of the videos are inserted off of Youtube, I don't own anything. These are only two but the rest of the videos are on the music page.
Two Weeks Left Until Hello Dolly!
Hey, blogettes! There are two more weeks until we go public with our musical, "Hello Dolly", and there is a whole bun of work that needs to be done still that the show might not be the best show ever because we ran out of time. To tell you how far behind we are, the main set has not been built yet, people haven't tired on costumes or got their costumes in line, and we are still blocking out some seasons instead of rehearsing them like it is the show. It is now go time since we only have two weeks to get things down and ready, and I still have hope that some how we are going to be winners who come from behind, and that this will be the best show yet. It will take practice outside of practice but that is what it takes when it comes to show biz is overtime.
When I am not busy at musical practices I am going to be shooting a vlog for you to enjoy, doing my homework, practicing my parts to make sure that I personally have it down, and sleeping, I might practice the stunt that scares the living daylight out of me if my partner feels up to doing it with me and isn't busy with things. We give a preview and it sounds like the scene that my stunt is in is the preview, and that is going to make me super scared because something could go wrong in front of my friends, and the little kids and then they would be scared, and I would be embarrassed. For that reason I hope that they pick a different scene to do that has me in it, so I can miss out on a little bit of class, and not have to watch the show because I've seen it like a million times at practice.
Since there is a lot to be done they have even scheduled things to be done for the weekend, and they have made the practices longer which would allow me to do the things noted above because they are going to run the full scenes, and act like it is kind of the show now, so that we have an idea of what it will be like and where our cues are at. That means that break time will be longer, and I love longer break times because those are the times where you can start something and finish it, and not be hanging on it and then be lost when you get back from being on stage. These next few practices are going to be hit and miss because they are going to have people who need costumes, and aren't on stage at the time go and try on costumes, and they will have some people be building sets, and doing stuff like that.
We will get things done, because we have been on a tight schedule before, and it is nothing that we can't handle because we can and we will do just fine. The directors aren't freaking out yet, either, because they have just made plans to help make sure that we are ready and everything is ready for the show. It has got to be a lot of stress directing a show with a bunch of wild teens, but they handle it quite well. It's also better when they get us into character on stage because then we all are more calm focused, and manageable more so when we are our normal selves. We are crazy then, and the most randomest of things to talk about just seem to pop up. I guess it is because we are all tired, and have tons of homework that overshadows us from being us, and we just want to take some time when we are hanging out with the rest of the drama people to be ourselves and just chill for a bit.
I'd be cool with doing a stunt but my older sister was dropped on her head during practice when she was doing the pretty much same stunt I was supposed to do, and that is why I am worried that will happen to me. Except for she was a piggy back stunt and I am a shoulder piggy back stunt so I am up just a little bit higher from the ground in the stunt than she is, which makes it all the more scary, because I saw her fall, and what happened, and trust me, I would hate that to have happened to me. My sister also got to be blind folded when doing that stunt so she can't see what is coming. I however, see every detail and feel every detail, and it is super scary. Then when you get up on the shoulders you are like wow this isn't so bad after all and you enjoy it, and then you have to get down which isn't as scary as getting up but scary just the same.
I guess this is what it is going to be like and that this is show biz, and that who knows I might be a flyer if I am a cheerleader so I need to get used to doing stunts. If things go wrong things go wrong. No big deal because mistakes do happen we just learn from them and make changes so that it doesn't happen again. Anyways if you are from the area check our school's homepage calendar for the dates of the shows so that you can come out and show your support for your fellow classmates. That's all I have to say for today, thanks for reading this post, and sorry that it was all about the show, but that was the only thing that I had enough details on to get a decent sized post written. Be sure to vote, and then you will be seeing some of those posts pop up as well.

TGIF
Hey, blogettes! I'm sitting at home chilling on my bed, and one acronym has been on my mind for the whole entire day, and I know you were probably thinking it as well. The acronym was TGIF or Thank God It's Friday. I was totally ready to get home and chill out for the weekend after a rough week at school, and now that the time has finally come, I have found amazing ways to spend it. I am making sure that I write a post that is fairly decent in length for you blogettes to read while I have the free time, and then I will be prepping things for the vlog that I will be doing sometime soon, once the musical is down pat and sorted, and things are ready to rock for that.
I would have had time to shoot a vlog a long time ago at practice, but we had sets to build, and we still have sets to build. The show that we are doing have a lot of sets, and it is going to be hard to get them all done in time but we will manage. To tell you how far behind we are, I have no clue what my at least three costumes look like because I haven't tried anything on yet. I have also not figure out when I will go and change especially in one scene where my costume change is going to have to be fast since I am a waiter, and then I switch to a cop. I get to arrest a high schooler in the play, and it is just weird as noted before.
However, that is what I made my seventh grade year about, is to get over all the weird stuff, and push myself to do the things that are out of the box. I am going to do the things that I want to do even though I am still faking myself for the most part. People at play practice are mostly high schoolers who know me but they don't know me too well, so I can open up and be myself because they don't judge unless they are my sister, and then they judge way too much. I have a lot of fun knowing that I can just blossom into a human being where I am normal, and kind of show people my true colors.
Even some of the seventh graders and other middle schoolers are okay with me not faking it anymore because they like me either way, and they are pretty flexible. They don't care who I am and they would never make someone feel like they weren't good enough. That's what I like about the drama people. They are nice, and they understand you and accept you. They make you feel like you are wanted, and that you do matter, being who you are and not changing a thing. Sure we are faking some things because we are onstage as actors or actresses, but there are certain times where you are able to show people your style, and by that I mean your hair because small parts, most of the time, the directors do not care what you do with it because they are busy fixing the hair of the bigger parts which do matter.
I love doing drama because I get up there, and I feel so free. I feel like I can be anything, and there isn't any limits. I feel like the people out there are just my friends, and I get through it, although it is intimidating at first. I'll admit having a gym packed full of people, and you being up there on a hot sweaty stage, doing your thing, and praying that you are doing it right, so you don't look like a fool, I have got down pat. Being on top of someone's shoulders, and doing jumps and flips is something that I am not thinking of doing ever because it's easier for things to go wrong then. It's easier for people to get hurt, and it would be the case where that person would be me because I am super clumsy.
Things never get old though, and I keep coming back every year hungry to do more, because I have so much fun each year, and I get over my fears quickly. The stage is my friend. It is where I belong, and where I can go when I am having a bad day just to express myself and clear my mind. It's a place where I can focus on being a stronger person better. It makes my life easier knowing that there is someplace to get away, and someplace where the real me shines through. If only I had a way of showing that to the world without talking during the show. If only they could see a piece of the real me because I know it would shock some of my classmates who come to the show.
Oh yeah, blogettes! Never go to fast on the monkey bars because you could miss a bar, and hit your forehead really hard causing a concussion to happen. I have a mild concussion right now, and it really does hurt. Although you rarely die from concussions they are serious even the mild ones, and you should be really careful and try to lay low and take it easy for a couple of days at least. This is hard if you are super active like me.

Just Hangin
Hey, blogettes! Right now I am in reading block but our teacher is allowing us to talk since it is Friday, and we have a lot to talk about. I'm so excited for the musical that is in two weeks. We have been working really hard at it and it is starting to come out great. It's going to be a great show, and there are some middle schoolers in it. Way to represent...even though it is a little weird. I mean I still haven't gotten used to being on top of a high schoolers shoulders in one scene, and then getting to arrest a high schooler in another scene. It is just crazy fun, and kind of awkward especially when I go up to arrest that high schooler for assaulting the bodies that are piled around him.
Thank goodness, I don't have to arrest my sister because that would be really weird. Anyways, class ends soon, so I better get ready to go, but I will write soon. I just thought I would get a quick post in because I don't know when I would have some more free time next.

Words Hurt! Blogettes Be the Solution
Hey, blogettes! I am here to say that words can hurt people, whether they are through notes, comments left online, texts, or verbally, they can still hurt, so it is important that you chose your words wisely, and think before you say something, because if you don't want to hear it be said to you, or any of your buddies why bother saying it or writing it and sending it or putting it in someone's locker or on their backs? Think about how you would feel and react if you were the person that this was happening to.
If this is happening to someone you know, comfort the person, and tell them that the things aren't true and everything is going to be okay. Tell them what you think of them, and be honest with them because that is what they need at a time where something like this happens. They'll be in emotional shock so they might need you to repeat yourself plenty of times just to get the positives stuck in their heads.
I also find something I enjoy if the day is going rough, and that usually cheers me up. I also enjoy talking to someone about it, and making sure that they are working to ensure that it doesn't happen again, and that I can feel like I belong where I am at, although right now, they are far from reaching that with everyone going out of their way just to avoid me. Another good tip is just to laugh it off and act like nothing in the world is bothering you even though pretty much everything is bothering you. You can't let those people know that they are getting to you, or else they will continue to pick because they found a willing target.
You don't want to be that willing target, you want to be the defender of the willing target. You want to be the one who ends it, not the one who let's it happen, or starts it by reacting to what is going on. I am encouraging all my blogettes to be the solution. Be the good in this world, and show those people that feel unloved, ugly, worthless, fat, and whatever else they have been called true that they are the total opposite. Make them feel like they matter, and that they do belong, and are good enough, and not to change for anyone because god made them that way for a reason, and they need to respect that. They need to know that this is a rough time for everyone but it does get better. They need to know not to change because they need to focus on what really matters which is their future.
Remember this, it's what's on the inside that really counts and matters. You are wanted, needed and totally loved. You matter in this world, and there are people out there who will stand up and help you fight back. People care, and you just have to give things a chance. This is a rough time, but thank god there are people willing enough to help you through it. Stay on the path that you are on and change for no one but yourself as that will make your future brighter. You are bound to find yourself quicker and easier and know that it is really you if you make the changes yourself and let no one lead you into them. You will have to fight for what you believe in at times, but that is okay, because true fighters, and those with confidence in themselves will always come out on top.
I'm going to organize another blue out sometime soon, and I'll post more blue out details as soon as they are planned so be sure to check this blog often or come and hunt me down at school for all the latest information, as we might be syncing the blue out with the bullying seminar as it was dubbed blue out against bullying last year.
Anyways, to sum this post up, I am challenging you blogettes to be the solution, the people who are and do good in this world, and to help those who have been hurt. It doesn't matter if they are boy or girl, or what their age is. If they are having a rough day, go and lift them up and show them that they do matter, and are so much better than what has been said. Be strong, stand up, and use your voice! You could really make a change in this world, and possibly even be saving a life if the person was thinking suicide because it was going on for so long.

Homecoming Week 2013!
Hey, blogettes! It's the final school day of homecoming week, and it's an early out, plus it is Friday, and the list of all the amazing things could go on and on. I love homecoming week because it means a cookout, and you can get away with dressing like an idiot because nobody cares. I love my school because we really know how to party, and have a fun homecoming week. We also have set building at musical practice this afternoon, and during our free hour, so that is going to be amazing as well. I have a lot of time to kill before my next post, and I decided to type a post for my blog because I don't know when my next down time will be as you can tell by how much time there is in between my posts.
It's hard to think that our last meet is a week from Saturday, and that the musical is three weeks away. I feel like I am more ready for the musical than I am the state meet for cross country. I'm so nervous because I am the only female going to state from my school, and I don't know if I am going to be able to be on a team or if I am the only seventh grade female going all together. I always physic myself out before a meet, because it is so intimidating while you are in your small chute waiting for the gun to go off. Then when the gun goes off everything does finish, and you are focused on staying with the pack and finishing the race because you had the courage to start you have to finish. That is just a rule of thumb.
I can't wait until cross country next year because we will be doing the same meets, and now that I know what it is like, and now that I know what I need to train for in the off season, my eighth grade season should be of no problems for me. I can be up there with the rest of the people of my team leading us to victory, and maybe if I get really good I can be behind the lead gator the whole time. Now that is the best feeling ever because that sets the pace for me. I love hearing the motor and picturing it as the tempo for me running. Sometimes I keep up, and other times I have to fall back. Keeping up and fighting is what we are supposed to be doing so I avoid falling back at all costs.
I love set building, and that is what we are doing as well as rehearsing a few scenes. I love it because I love art even if this is a set and certain form of something that we are supposed to be doing, and we can't express ourselves all the way. People have asked me what my favorite part of homecoming week is and I said it is either the powder puff and burning of the L on Wednesday night or the cookout that we have today. I also said that I like the football game because hello that's the whole point of homecoming is the football game at the end of the week. We are against a team that we always win against, unless something has changed this year.
Anyways, that's all I have to say, so I'm going to go and read my book now since I am in a really good part, and dying to continue on with it.
It's hard to think that our last meet is a week from Saturday, and that the musical is three weeks away. I feel like I am more ready for the musical than I am the state meet for cross country. I'm so nervous because I am the only female going to state from my school, and I don't know if I am going to be able to be on a team or if I am the only seventh grade female going all together. I always physic myself out before a meet, because it is so intimidating while you are in your small chute waiting for the gun to go off. Then when the gun goes off everything does finish, and you are focused on staying with the pack and finishing the race because you had the courage to start you have to finish. That is just a rule of thumb.
I can't wait until cross country next year because we will be doing the same meets, and now that I know what it is like, and now that I know what I need to train for in the off season, my eighth grade season should be of no problems for me. I can be up there with the rest of the people of my team leading us to victory, and maybe if I get really good I can be behind the lead gator the whole time. Now that is the best feeling ever because that sets the pace for me. I love hearing the motor and picturing it as the tempo for me running. Sometimes I keep up, and other times I have to fall back. Keeping up and fighting is what we are supposed to be doing so I avoid falling back at all costs.
I love set building, and that is what we are doing as well as rehearsing a few scenes. I love it because I love art even if this is a set and certain form of something that we are supposed to be doing, and we can't express ourselves all the way. People have asked me what my favorite part of homecoming week is and I said it is either the powder puff and burning of the L on Wednesday night or the cookout that we have today. I also said that I like the football game because hello that's the whole point of homecoming is the football game at the end of the week. We are against a team that we always win against, unless something has changed this year.
Anyways, that's all I have to say, so I'm going to go and read my book now since I am in a really good part, and dying to continue on with it.

Skyrocketing Views
Hey, blogettes! I just want to take time to send a shout out to you ladies out there for really stepping it up and viewing my blog, that is so amazing, and kudos for you for doing that even if there isn't anything new posted, I know that some of you ladies read my old posts. It is good to know that even though I don't write as much anymore that you are still viewing my blog. I promise you that I will write more posts, and keep my word on some vlogs, but there has been no time for me to make a great vlog because it is too noisy around my house, and my room is not a good hosting place. I am going to wait until musical practices go longer and we don't have as many stage calls and then get sent home. That's what has been happening lately.
I might be going to the dance tonight after all because it sounds like the dress code has been lowered, and some people in my grade are just going in a t-shirt and shorts because they say that it is not worth dressing up for. I agree with them. Don't get me wrong there or anything, I do trust those people it's just that sometimes they change things short notice, and I miss out on the memo, and then I look really stupid. I don't need that feeling again, because I had it all last year. It's the dreaded feeling of not feeling that you are good enough even though you worked your butt off. I guess I'll wear a dry fit shirt, and shorts to the dance, and just pull my hair back into a ponytail.
Besides, today's workout for cross country was tough and very tiring for me. It also didn't help that I had an allergy attack in the middle of it either. That really put me behind and made me work harder to get back up to pace. I also have a problem that most runners have had at least once in their career. I have double shin splints, and my right one decided it would be fun to grow worse, and bother me badly throughout the toughest practice by far. It didn't help that we were doing track work, but you know, I guess it was a good thing that we were doing the track because I was able to run in and get my inhaler to help with the allergy attack. Anyways, you get the idea, I am too tired to put a lot of effort in my look for tonight, so I'm not going to even bother trying to look good.
I know that some people might find fault with me for doing this, but tough. I am used to it. I am not good enough at school, so I know it's no different at dances. I'm dressing for myself, and not anyone else, so if you hate my outfit avoid me. That's the only thing you can do, because I am not going to change it. Anyways, I have an hour before it is showtime so I better get going now. Gee time really does fly I guess.

Busy As A Bee
Hey, blogettes! I'm so sorry I haven't been updating this blog a lot. I have been super busy, and enjoying the teenage on the go lifestyle, that has been treating me quite well actually. I have learned to listen better, pay attention to the details, even the small ones, and be more organized. I don't have the getting the facts right down just yet as I found out today during cross country practice. At the state meet, our team actually got first out of all the class 3A and 4A schools in the state, so we have a lot of pressure on our shoulders nearing the end of the season, and that meet. I'm so nervous, and the coach said that since we have such a large team that it isn't required for all of us to go, and besides this year there is an entry fee, and stuff like that making it hard for some people to be able to go.
I'm going to go because it sounds awesome, and I think since I have improved so much this season, that I have what it takes to represent my school, at the state meet. I feel like there needs to be at least one person from the smaller school there to represent, and show them that it is not about the bigger school, it is about how well our team sets aside our differences to go out there and kick some butt. We have been doing that at our past two meets with second place finishes in both of them. I can tell that the whole team is getting better because at our first meet, we just barely placed. In our second meet, we placed, but we were't in the spots that ranked. Those are the spots where everyone wants to be. Those are the spots that according to our coach gives that team the confidence to go off to their next meet, and kick some more butt because they have something like that to look forward to.
I just have even more confidence now that I know that I am a part of a team that is currently holding a state title. Yeah, there is some pressure to go out there at every meet and be good, because all the other teams have stereotypes of us, because we are the champions, but it also means that we are humble about it, and sometimes we are good sports, and we let other teams win for a change. Not anymore though, it is time that our guns, and our second winds come out, and we get that kick to go out there, and push ourselves to go faster than ever before because it really is go time now. We need to show the world what our true game faces look like, and that they will have to fight hard to be with us. We are the big dogs that rock the house, and to roll with us, you really need to bring it, and expect by the time we are done with you, that you will have a new outlook on the sport, and you will realize that what you were doing wasn't good enough because you could still give more.
Now I know why we have a cheer that is something about being champions and going out there, and leaving it all behind because that is what it takes and stuff. Now I know why everyone is pressuring me to be better, and to go hard and not give up. We are a team that does not give up, and it only gets stronger. However, with all the injuries we have had this season, that may put the title on the line, and those who are fast need to be faster, and those who are in the middle of the pack need to break free, and those who are in the back need to speed it up because this year, it will really take all of us to keep that title our own. I know that I want to look back on this season and say that I gave it my all, and I really proved to myself that I can do anything. I grew as a person, and my eyes were open. I went through things that I thought were impossible a couple of months back. Now, I know that nothing is impossible if people just push themselves to practice and try harder at the thing.
The musical is coming a long just fine, and so are the dance moves. I have learned to trust some of the high schoolers because in some scenes I will be on their shoulders or have to do something that involves them making contact with me in places where normal contact is not made. I know that sounds really gross and wrong, but there was no better way to describe it. I have also tested the patience of some people, and I bet that by the end of the show, they will just want to yell or do something to get me to shut up and go away because I ask too many questions.
Our first dance is this Friday night, and I am going through the struggle of not knowing what to wear to it, as do all of the other teenage girls that attend these things. I always look like crap, compared to everyone else. I don't belong to a certain group of people that go out and dance, because when I try to dance with friends, I always feel like I am unwelcome around the popular people because I am one of those crazy dorks who doesn't have the coolest clothes or status making me a person to avoid because they could get my germ of low popularity.
Another anti bullying day is in the makings, but this time, I was the inspiration. Notes crossed the line, and there were these three girls who were bully victims themselves that talked with our principal and said that enough was enough, and we needed to have a day to show people just how damaging the effects of bullying were to the victim even if they didn't show them right away. I told them that it wasn't necessary because I was fine, and that things were okay because no one else was being hurt, and that is my outlook on bullying. Yes, it is wrong, but it is okay because I can take it, and no one else is getting hurt. Better me than someone who can't take it.
Oh, and another side note, last time I checked, we were in middle school, and most of us are teenagers who can make wise choices. We should be able to think about our actions better, and know that other people know what they are doing, and they know they made a mistake, and they will fix it. They don't need you telling them what to do all the time because that really gets on their nerves because that is just the way that the human's brain works. It thinks for itself, but when someone says something the brain could go haywire meaning it feels like it made a mistake when it made a small ice which isn't a huge deal like everyone who tells you what to do makes it seem.
