no, you may not take my hat.

It's a fedora!

Anyways, I'm tired and here's a quick update:

TVTropes has ruined my life. The end.

...

Okay, on to real stuff. I watched Despicable Me the other day~ It's such a cute movie! xD I can't believe I skipped out on this movie to go make fun of Eclipse!

*beat*

Yeah. I know. Mahi-Mahi!!! C:

/Angie is tired, please ignore her rambles.

-Angie

my sincerest apologies, sir, but I do not love you

JUST KIDDING. I TOOK OUT THE LINK.

That my friends, is my livejournal. I have pretty stories up on there. You should go read them.

*nods*

I have a video to blow up. Jesse, I have sent that link to about everyone on the plant earth. Now we wait. MUAHAHAHA.

*coughs and goes back to homework*

-Angie

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.

-Angie

ignorance

Ignorance is your new best friend.

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.

-Angie

what happened on 9/25.

So, I will now go into full detail in what REALLY happened at the Novice/JV tournament taking place at CEHS.

Whatever they have said about me is a lie. Maybe except the 'I completely destroyed their cases' bit. That's true.

6:30 AM -> I got to school, tired as heck, with a box of breakfast burritos.
6:35 AM -> Said 'hi' to everyone and sat down, staring into space.
6:40 AM -> I talked to Kylee about some topic I don't remember.
7: 00 AM -> Finally ate something. Half of a bacon breakfast burrito. Yay.
7:15 AM -> Zoned out.
7:17 AM -> Started going over my case and evidence.
7: 40 AM -> Did vocal warm-ups. Quite entertaining.
8: 00 AM -> The CEHS Debate team walked like a mob to the cafeteria and caused the entire place to look up in awe at our super snazzy suits. I felt like flipping off my kind of/not really ex-boyfriend. It would've been great, but I decided not to.
8: 45 AM -> Postings went up. I ran to room 627 in order to start debating.
8: 50 AM -> Still waiting for my opponent to come and for the judge to come.
8: 55 AM -> Still waiting and started talking to Courtney.
9: 00 AM -> STILL. FREAKING. WAITING. For judge. Opponent was sprinting down the hall.
9: 05 AM -> Judge arrives and we enter classroom.
9: 10 - 9:40 AM -> Major buttkicking ensues.
9: 50 AM -> I grin and say 'great job' to opponent. I sat down on a chair and wait for flight two to finish. I totally won the first round. It was great.
10: something AM -> Second flight is finished and I go back to the cafeteria. I feel like an adrenaline junkie.
10: 40 AM -> Everyone else comes in, with the same grins. We're high off of debate. That's cool.
10: 40 - 11: 30 AM -> Second round postings come up.
11:35 AM -> I get stuck in a crowd and people are shoving. It's not nice.
11:37 AM -> I finally get to see where I am for round two. Same room. Fun, fun.
11: 45 AM -> I arrive to the round, my opponent arrives, the judge arrives.
11: 50 AM -> BUTT KICKING ENSUES.
12: 30-ish PM -> Butt kicking is over. I totally won that round. A sophomore boy from who knows where looks me over and I resist the urge to roll my eyes.
1: 00 PM -> I have arrived in the cafeteria. I eat lunch. Teriyaki chicken bowl. Yay.
2: 00 PM -> We wait.
2: 30 PM -> Still waiting.
3: 00 PM -> I go over my case, while waiting.
3: 13 PM -> OH MY GOSH, CAN I GO-*third round postings go up* Oh. Never mind then.
3: 20 PM -> Finally get up and check my postings. I shrug, because I don't care who I'm going against. All I know is that I need to win.
3: 26 PM -> Arrive at room.
3: 27 -> Almost scream bloody murder when I see my opponent. I hide my lapse of confidence with a cheerful grin.
3: 28 -> I'm pretty sure I look like I'm going to kill something.
3: 29 -> "Hello, I'm Angela, number 176! Nice to meet you!" *offers hand to shake it*
"Oh, I know you."
*a second of silence; I tilt my head and keep that smile on my face*
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah, I'm Tabia. I'm sort of dating Keegan."
3:30 PM -> I blink. Oh, that's nice. Wait, what? How the hell do you know me then?! HE TALKS ABOUT ME?!
"Oh, that's interesting. I didn't know he talked about his past girlfriends."
"Haha...yeah."
*the judge arrives and I shoot a prayer to God. Please Lord, help me not kill this person. Thanks.
The judge leads us in.
3: 32 PM -> I take a seat and double and triple check my case.
3: 56 PM -> It's time for flight two; my flight. I'm ready to Debate.
4: 00 PM to 4: 45 PM -> The world is rocked and exploded. Butt kicking and kicked butts ensue.
5: 00 PM -> I arrive to the cafeteria like a war hero/victim. This is not good. Friends crowd around and ask about what happened in there. I shrug and tell them the short and sweet version that didn't involve us debaters screaming at each other. Oh, joy.
5: 30 PM -> I crave Jamba Juice as I walk to Round Four.
5: 34 PM -> Kylie and Heidi tell me that I was the subject of gossip. Oh, joy. I'm being gossiped about in an academic setting. I'm a 'bitch' and that 'I will laugh at your case'. Hilarious, really.
Shut the hell up.
5: 40 PM to 6: 15 PM -> Round four passes. I win.
6: 30 PM -> I arrive at the cafeteria, grab something to eat, drink two water bottles and sprint to McCoy's room and sit down on a chair, sighing.
6: 35 PM -> I am kicked out of McCoy, by McCoy via phone call.
7: 00 PM -> By now, I really don't care anymore. Keegan tells me that I can't go to UCLA. I tell him to shut the hell up and die.
Okay, not really. I told him that was nice and that I didn't want to waste my braincells on UCLA anyways. UC Berkeley's law program was much superior, anyways.

Time passes
8:00 PM -> The awards start. I'm not even going to go into detail. I won three rounds. Lost one. Care to guess which one I lost?

After this hectic day I went home and sobbed. I lost a plaque that would've been a beautiful addition (and college transcript worthy) item for my room. Anyways. Debate's weird. It's like, football, but harder.

I'm going to go do my homework now.

#176 out.
-Angie

beautiful day

let's play a game of pretend
when everything we said
made sense
a simple time when you and I
didn't know about the
battles that raged inside
i've lost count of the times
i've wished we could go back
to the that beautiful lie
we lived in

(chorus)
a beautiful day where flowers prayed
and we frolicked through the ocean waves
hand in hand we hoped to stay
in our beautiful day (x2)
before we fell in love

summer came and went
a blur of sunshine in our icy states
i swear you cracked a smile
on our first date
that first date
set our course
you kissed my hand and
i laughed
hoping that deep inside
summer you was
still alive
because you were the one that told me
pretty eyes can't lie

(chorus)

and finally winter came home
an everlasting world of contradictions
where did our beautiful world go? (x2)
where did our summer selves go? (x2)
there's a ring on your finger. you're married
to somebody else.
a beautiful girl you've been chasing down for so many years
we met on hollywood and venice...
where did our...(x3)
oh oh...whoah...(x3)
you have a happy family, waiting for you.
i have a broken heart, who knew this is how it would go.
(Bridge)
(where did our beautiful world go...? x2)
where did our beautiful lie go?
it was so amazing before you told me...
you loved me.
(chorus + bridge)
fade out
let's play a game of pretend when everything we said made sense.
---
author's note: frolicked. LOL.

once a playlist, always a playlist

you're a song i can't forget
always running through my head
i can't press stop on that
pesky playback set
you're an infinite playlist
always running through my mind
oh how i wish you could
simply shut up and die
stop invading my private thoughts, where you usually reside
strumming away on your acoustic guitar, as i lose
my mind to your parasitic love
sometimes i don't make any sense in my own rhymes
how is it that you can look into my eyes?

[pre-chorus]
with some insane thing i don't
want to call love
emotions crawl out of my mind
as we look forward to your
demise
[chorus]
some dreams
don't make any sense
in my messed-up head
scattered memories
mingle with present-day
horrors
i'm sleep-deprived, the hazy blessed
stormy eyes, blue with ice
haunt my conscience.
i don't know what i've done
to deserve your mess.

i'm lost in translation
directions don't matter much
in the middle of LA and Oceanside
Venice screams away, ocean waves
crash upon the shore
my thoughts don't feel so scattered
anymore
you reach for my scarred hand
and I lean away
you've already done enough
damage to my broken heart

[pre-chorus&chorus]
bridge
the sky falls down
little pieces of my soul return
i had been lost, but now found
in the midst of your, my, apologies
[chorus]

i am falling
falling
down
i am falling, i am falling
into your once reluctant (arms)

[chorus]

maybe your playlist is here to stay.

is murder illegal in california?

Dear Sutthida Torr:
Please stop annoying me about my love life. I don't have a boyfriend and your comments simply rub the salt in the wounds. It also pisses me off and I feel like throwing something whenever you open your mouth. Yeah. So, stop it and shut up. Or I'll start the blog without telling you and make you and Kyle's relationship the front page.
Yeah, that doesn't sound pretty, does it?

Dear Erika Kroker:
STOP. PUSHING. ME. TOWARDS EDWARD AND GABE. NEXT TIME I WILL MAKE YOU PAY ME ALL THE COOKIES I'VE BOUGHT YOU. YEAH. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY, ISN'T IT!?
(Meaning stop it. Please? I'm begging.)

Dear Rachel Lynn Lemon Frost:
I really love you, but if you keep texting me for the most random things without asking me about my day I'm going to have to come over and find out what the heck is going on over there. I'm sorry about you being stressed-trust me, we all are- but...yeah. I miss you.

Dear Rachel Leah Lime Yorke:
You. And. I. Need. To. Hang. Out.
Soon, because I'm going to finish your notebook tomorrow. I think I should add more pictures to the cover...but meh. I probably will.
I love you and miss you, too!

Dear Everyone Else Who Reads This Blog:
I'm really sorry for bombarding all of you with this information. But I'm just really tired about the teasing/crap that I've been getting these past two weeks. So yeah. Read The Hunger Games. Soon. It's the best decision of your life.
(Maybe not.)

Love,
-Angie

a place where unanswered questions lay in eternal snow

...I AM DONE WITH MY HOMEWORK, SCREAM IT UPON EVERY MOUNTAIN TOP!
(I'm just really excited. Gonna go get me a copy of the Hunger Game Trilogy today, yes sirree.)
-Angie

she's ripping wings off butterflies, now

Um, wtf?
So...here's a ventilation post. I feel really...out of the loop. I haven't talked to some people in a long time and I feel like I did something wrong to them, I mean...I don't know.
*sigh*
Lemon, if I did something bad, just tell me. I feel bad that you aren't talking to me and I'm a stupid chicken who won't even text you.
All right....I need to do my french project.
-Angie

in retrospect, i won't do it again

I'm gonna break down these walls I built around myself.
-Walls, All Time Low.
--
I love ATL. Hahaha, they're cool. Rian, ftw. :D
Erm, anyways. So, day three of school. I hate Chemistry. Hate it with a passion.
French 2, as well. I mean, the class is fine...it's just the people! I cannot stand that room. IT'S SO FREAKING LOUD!
Um...anyways. Haha, I said 'anyways' twice. Stupid California accent. I can't say a single sentence without saying the word 'anyways'.
Not kidding.
...*resists urge to say 'anyways'*
On other topics, I hate romance. Especially Jerkass Prettyboys. They're really hot, awesome, and epic, but complete jerks.
Ugh, boo. I had a meh day at school today. I was pushed by my friends towards this guy who really likes me-according to rumors- and I wasn't happy about that.
He's the same guy that declared his love for me last year.
I just sneezed. Yes, you needed to know that.
...where was I? Oh yeah. My friends are on Team Gabe instead of Team Tyler.
...Oh my God, my friends are Shippers on Deck. I am so screwed.
(I've repeated the phrase 'he's not my boyfriend about seventy times these past three days.)
-Angie

a little bird told me you were depressed

Hi there~ Here's a fantastic post on how my life has been going:

School was...ugh. I liked my classes, but my World History class is devoid from people I know! DX I know, tragic, right? It's my first class of the day, too!

Time to make new friends...sigh. Everything after World History is A-OK, maybe except for Chemistry. Did I mention I hate Chemistry? No? Well, at the moment I'm working on homework I got for that class? WTF, right? I was in school for about half the day and I already had a crapload of homework.

Ugh...I need to do my Debate stuff. What am I doing here?!

Oh, yeah. Tyler issue. If you are a reader of the original blog, you'll know about him. He's my current crush and I'm completely head over heels for this boy. I saw him today and guess who almost died from heart attack? I did! Especially when he was hugging this girl for more than like, a minute.

CAN YOU HEAR THE JEALOUSY SCREAMING FROM MY SOUL!?!

...I should stop listening to screamo music. It makes me think of him.

He's in a screamo band. Ugh. Stupid Tyler. I hate him so much.

The line between love and hate is so...thin. You don't know when you've crossed it.

Hopefully, tomorrow is a better day.

-Angie

The Varient

Did you know that Angie has writer friends? (YES, I HAVE FRIENDS JESSE. I'M PRETTY SURE YOU WERE GOING TO POST A STUPID COMMENT LIKE THIS. DX)
...erm, where was I? Oh yeah, writer friends!
So, my friend Saro, just self-published her book. She's seventeen.
Think about that for a couple of minutes. She's a fantastic writer, so here I am, advertising! Her book The Varient (yes, it's spelled like that) is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy novel taking place in a Utopia in the distant future.
Here's a short summary, provided by Saro~!

Amryl Laque is the daughter of Varoron, a Captain of the Puran Guard, and saddled with a rather unremarkable power; she feels useless in a sea of soldiers until a 'falling star' throws her tiny, organised and docile world into chaos. Could this silent but expressive boy she calls 'Shadow' really be one of the dangerous Varient Strain, with a power that could destroy the utopia Ryl's father tried so hard to build? Or is it really a utopia at all?

Sound awesome? Click the link I provided. Maybe you know someone who likes Sci-Fi books? A great gift! :D
^^ So, check it~!
Thanks for reading~!
-Angie
PS: Chaos & Conflict is under steady editing. Expect an excerpt soon. ^^;

there, there katie

Did I mention my undying love for Jack's Mannequin? No?
Well, I love Andrew and Bobby and Jay and Jon. I love them very much.
You know something I don't love? Stephenie Meyer. What the heck is she doing directing Jack's Mannequin videos? It's not fair for Andrew. He's much too epic to be in the presence of Meyer.
A moment of silence for the epicness that used to be the song 'The Resolution'.
*five minutes later*
Anyways, um. I think Great Expectations needs more annotations. I hate it though, I hate going from page to page writing little things so that Randall won't murder me.
...tsk, I have to go do that.
Do any of you own pins that you don't want? I'm decorating my backpack with pins and stuff...so yeah~ ^^
-Angie

you and me could write a bad romance

Miss Lady Gaga, I think you should go see your high school English teacher. It's 'you and I could write a bad romance'.
Anyways, hi. I just went shopping. I love shopping. It was very fun. I have the most epic ankle boots ever. ^^
...I should go do some more annotations on Great Expectations...ugh. School starts on Monday. D: TRAGEDY, I TELL YOU!
I have no idea what I want to wear. I have so much pretty stuff now...um. Hmm. I'll have to think of something soon, because I don't want to stress whatsoever on Monday.
Anyways, here's an update:
I'm currently editing Chaos and Conflict, yay! I'm actually doing work on that, lol.
I'm also trying to nurse my fanfiction crisis. I got a bad review and I'm trying not to think too hard about it. *sobs*
Here it is. Read it and tell me if it's that bad. *crawls back into corner of doom*

I only clicked on this story because that song is one of my all time
favorites. That song is also the opening song to my story "The Legend of the
Sky Cat." :D I didn't even know the characters. It was a very good idea, and I
did like the story, but here comes the part you won't like.

Unfortunately, I must critique. There were plenty of spelling and a few
grammar errors, and a lot more detail could have been put in. It just felt
very fast paced, or maybe I read it in record time...

Anyways, I hope my criticism helps you. I know it's not much, but good luck
with your future stories!

-Angie

EDIT: Um, so Blue October has a concert in San Fran this weekend. I want to go really badly. I love Blue October. WHY MUST THEY BE IN SAN FRANCISCO?! *sobs*

Today is Wednesday

Hello, readers to another episode of 'My Life as A Teenage Gamer'. Did you know that there's a comic strip about a teenage gamer? Yeah, I'm currently drawing my version of this blog.
Anyways, I'm going to cut this short and bestow upon you information that will change your life:
DELIAS. CLEARANCE. SALE.
Oh yes, Delias has a clearance sale, online. THEY HAVE AWESOME BRACELETS, DANGIT!
So, go check that epicness. I'm going to work today; AGAIN. I haven't even finished Great Expectations. I' m freaking tired and I start school in less than a week. This is a good time for me to be running around hysterically screaming.
...I missed a comma in there.
-Angie

OH SAY CAN YOU SEE.

Shut up multiple personalities.
Anyways, hey. I'm listening to Jack's Mannequin and Vampire Weekend. Hmm. I'm also working on Great Expectations. I WILL FINISH IT TODAY, DANG IT.

SOMEONE SHOOT ME DOWN WITH LIGHTNING!
Besides that, I'm working on Great Expectations while watching the kids and listening to music. *nods* Yeah, my life is boring at the moment.

i just want to be rescued

So, who's ready for Alice in Wonderland's premiere in March? I am! I'm gonna go watch it in IMAX 3D with my two besties. I mean you Rachel and Rachel.
If you don't come, I think I would die.
Kapoof.
Anyways, today I went to work. Tomorrow, I want to go to the mall for the sole reason of buying some stickers and two rings. My LG Xenon is finally coming to me on either Monday or Tuesday, thank the Lord.
I just read the most intense fan-fic in the history of intense fan-fics. It was ridiculous.
Media Update: Can't write. So I resorted to AMVing. Visit my youtube channel~ www.youtube.com/CaliforniaRoyaltyTV
Have you had your fill of Paramore today? You should. I have Miracle stuck in my head, which is lovely.
