What am I good at?

I have compiled a list:

1) Being arrogant.
2) Being selfish.
3) Being rude, disrespctful, and downright awful.
4) Being self-centered.
5) Yelling.
6) Ignoring people.
7) Being ingrateful.
8) Being a terrible friend.
9) Being indescive.
10) Falling in love with at the wrong moment.
11) Ignoring the positive. - Jesse
12) Picking backgrounds that make your blogs hard to read. - Jesse
13) Surprising me>turning me on. Platonically. -Jesse
14) Making me laugh so hard I pee my pants, cry, or both half way. - Rachel Yorke

You can add to the list, if you would like. I'm not having a good day and I'm not excited about my birthday anymore.

treading water, just to keep from slipping under

And she wonders where she's supposed to be.
-

I have realized my love for Superchic[k] runs deeper that water. I remember sixth and seventh grade when I was completely addicted.
Now, you can say I'm a complete loser for turning to secular music. Okay, not really. What I'm saying is...that I feel like a worse person today than I did back then.

You probably have no idea what I'm babbling about. Which is fine. I have decided to break it done into simpler terms. I've picked up a habit of using rather large and complex words in my sentences, thanks to Debate.

I think I'm not going back to that class next year. Mmm. Who knows?

Ah, yes. Where was I? Oh. I feel worse now because I feel like I've been too orientated with the crap that's happening in my life, rather than focusing on the positive. Jesus and I have been chatting, and I think it's time that I stop thinking about the Boy of the Year and start spreading His Word out.

Yes, Boy of the Year. As with Angela-tradition, there will be a boy that I am completely head over heels for. Said-boy will implant himself in my life for a year or so (Tyler was an exception- he managed to stay in my head for a year and half, or more) and I will suddenly decide to attempt to get over them and write a book about it. The end.

It's depressing, really. Especially when my resolve breaks so easily. I hate it.
Boy of the year is a Debate/Forensics kid now. He likes a girl that I don't know. I don't even like this boy. I mean, I barely know him...but it was just one look.

Just one look made me fall. I don't even think he knows my name.

...my birthday is right around the corner.

these faulty relationships

“I think human beings make life beautiful. There's a lot of beauty in everything. I think what makes life beautiful is the ability to acknowledge that.”


So, that's my new life quote. I love Andrew McMahon, because besides Jesus and Lacey Mosley-Sturm, he's my hero. I love the quote because it's true.

Did I mention that McMahon also had leukemia? His legacy is what really astounds me; it's the fact that he survived the battle- that my cousin Danny didn't- that makes me feel...I don't know, connected to this stranger. I only know his music, but the music, dear God, the music.

I don't know. I'm weird. My birthday is coming up. I honestly do not care anymore. I understand that on Sunday it will be the day I turn fifteen and I will have lived on this Earth for fifteen years but who cares? It's not like anyone will be there. It's not like I'll be able to enjoy it. The people that want to be there can't because of other commitments, and I haven't even bought my costume yet. I'm going through issues right now and...I'm just not excited anymore.

I think I'm going to go to the trick or treat session with my Forensics team. That team is starting to feel like my extended family. There's some amazing kids on that team that I'm blessed to have met.

In other areas of my life, it's almost November. I need to go to Michael's and buy some shirts because NaNoWriMo is right around the corner. Saro needs her shirt, I need my shirt, and I'll make a third shirt for some other poor individual who needs a team shirt for this insane event.

I have a Speech tournament on the 9th and that will be entertaining.

Music wise, I'm listening Neon Trees and Enrique Iglesias. 0_0

Writing wise, I have no idea what I'm doing.

-Angie

PS: I love you.

leave all your love and your longing behind

It's rare when a song is used as a blog title twice.

Scratch that, I have not done that up until today. Today, marks the day I have used 'Dog Days Are Over' by Florence + The Machine twice.

The thing is, that this song gives Annie by Safetysuit a run for it's money in the contest of being my theme song. I've associated myself with the song Annie because besides So I Thought by Flyleaf, it relays my life in a three minute + song.






Many of you must be wondering one of the following:

"Where did Teenage Gamer go?!"
"Why does Angie complain about life so much?"
"Is there a special reason why this girl is obsessed with Alice in Wonderland?"
"Why the hell do people use plaques as coasters?!"

Okay, well, the last question is what I'm wondering. Stupid Ramuel and his cult of followers.

Here are my answers:
1) Teenage Gamer was actually my favorite title for this blog. It was so very...me=like, you know? I changed it because I felt like I had to. My mind is teeming with new blog titles and I don't want to make a new blog every other day so I change my blog titles. I usually narrow it down to two names I'll use per year, so expect Queen of Wonderland here for a while.
2) I totally don't complain about life whatsoever. Actually, I'm trying to cut down on the complaining. It's not working, isn't it? At least I have one issue of complaint done and over with. Today marks the day where Angela Lisbeth Starfuit got over Tyler.
Hurrah.
3) I'm not obsessed with Alice in Wonderland. It's actually one of my favorite literary classics and I grew up with the Disney version. I relate to the issues Alice faces in the novel, the books, and whatever so that's how it rolls.
Plus, I like thinking I'm Queen of something. Most of the time I'm either the Queen of Wonderland or the Queen of Nothing and Everything.
It's fun.
(Or I've gone mad.)
4) As for the coaster and plaques, the reason I'm so hung up about that is that I haven't won anything from these past three tournaments. It's depressing, yes, but I've gotten a personal punching bag out of it. My right hook needs to be in tip-top condition.

On another note: I feel like Jesus is teaching me something through my failures. He's teaching me that I need to try harder and that if I put my mind to it and that I remember to give Him thanks that because of Him I'm able to compete, that I will finally win.

I think I'm finally learning that lesson. (Basically, He's telling me to stop whining about my bruised pride and to kick intellectual butt in His name. Just kidding. That would be bad.)

I've been listening to a lot of music lately. Besides Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Len and Rin, I've been listening to Lily, Le Roux, Florence + The Machine, Architecture in Helsinki, and my daily dosage of Jack's Mannequin and Flyleaf.

I love music. It's amazing. It really is.

I think I feel neglected by my friends. That sounds selfish, but sometimes, I don't know if simply wanting something for myself is selfish. Oh, the complicated stuff of life.

I'm going to go do my homework now.

Okay, I'm done.

wonderland's final queen, part one

The girl fell down the rabbit's hole, screaming obscenities at the higher beings that ruled over her miserable life. It must have been Karma, not pleased by her lack of morales, who decided to punish the princess of the sky.
Well, she was falling and falling was all she knew.
Hitting the floor sent a jolt through her spine, the ear-splitting /crack/ that resounded in the empty room gave her a headache.
The room was circular; that was the first thing she noticed. The second thing she noticed was her bleeding arm, adorned with scrapes and bruises.
"...ugh."

a/n: i'll edit it later.

the dog days are over

Florence + The Machine. A band I would be listening to if my computer charger wasn't broken. I'm actually pretty sad about that because:

a) I can't type up any new stories.
b) I can't update my iPod
c) I have to wait until my birthday to get a new laptop.

Sigh. Oh well. Anyhow, I want to mention, to some mysterious rich benefactor, that I would like a Wacom Tablet for my birthday. Yes. Send it to my PO Box.

...kidding. I don't want any stalkers. I already have a lot.

So, today, I attended World History-passed notes with Scott as we contemplated the meaning of life as we took Industrial Revolution notes-, Algebra 2 Honors-whose homework I must complete...right now-, and Debate.

Dear heavens, I don't even want to talk about Debate right now. All I know is that I have a Speech Tournament on Saturday and I'm scared out of my wits. Can I please not go? Please? I'll even eat asparagus. You know how much I hate asparagus.

Um, besides that. My goal for October is to be featured on TV Tropes. I'm not kidding.

I hope you all have a pleasant Friday. Mine will be hectic. Hurrah.

ignorance

Ignorance is your new best friend.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH9A6tn_P6g&ob=av2e

So. That's a pretty rad song. Paramore is actually cool. Sort of.

Anyhow. Today, I would like to address the fact that our world is surrounded by idiots. Facebook has it's fair share of them. I'm one of them, as well.

Isn't that simply ah-mazing? Of course not. So, I'm going to go crawl into a hole and feel pathetic about myself. Please, excuse me.

pretty little liar

She lied, because that's all she knew how to do.

She hated being alone. The feeling of being the only one in the world was suffocating. It crept up on you, with the intentions of murdering.
She didn't want to be killed. That wasn't part of the plan. Her plan involved living, living life to the fullest.

That plan didn't work out so well. Not ever since he left her life, screaming obscenities that resounded in the girl's mind for hours and hours.
No, that plan fell through from the start. What did she expect? She wasn't seven, for God's sake.

There were no princes, no horses, no rides to the hypothetical sunset. Fairy tales were myths. They were for little girls who couldn't fall asleep, and their parents didn't know how to lull them to unconsciousness.

Princesses didn't exist, either. If they did exist, she would've most likely been a princess.
Not the typical princess, per say, but the princess that dies in as a sacrifice to her true love. She would die in a over the top fashion, she would die to save her prince's lover.

Oh, the sheer stupidity of that hurt. It hurt her analytical mind, her shattered heart, and her weary body. It wasn't fair.

It just wasn't fair.

But nothing was fair in this life.

That was a lesson she was finally starting to learn.
