My Happy Post! :D

The past two weeks have seriously been the best two weeks of my life! The Beauty Review was actually alot of fun and I really liked it. Everyone was so adorable, but the best thing was when the guys came out on stage. They didn't follow directions like they were suppose to, so when the judges told them to turn to their backside, they dropped something, turned around, and bent down in front of the judges so the whole audience saw their butts. Even Coach O'Brein was cracking up.
The robot competition was very intense. Seriously, when I went, I thought it might be boring. But once it started and everything was set up, we all got really into it, yelling and screaming and everything. Me, Steven, Linda, and Olivia were in first place through all 18 rounds. Then we made it through the quarterfinals and the semifinals, which was just excellent! Then Steven made a huge mistake. He picked a chick named Kelly to be his partner because she was crushing on him. Me and Linda and Olivia were yelling at him and everything that he should pick Dalton but he didn't listen to us. That was what made us lose to Amory in the finals. You better believe there were some tears. :'( But boy did our faces light up when we found out that we were going to Disneyworld with them because we were first in EVERYTHING! Plus, it was the fact that our school was the host. So yeah, on April 11, my team is heading to Ackerman to ride the bus with them, and then were all leaving for Disneyworld, which will take about twelve hours. More than likely, we're leaving super early in the morning, like around 2 or 3, and we won't even get there until that afternoon. But we're staying until April 15, which is that Friday, so we get to stay for a whole week! Seriously, that is going to be the best week of my life, mainly because I get to hang out with new friends, make new friends, and if all goes right, I'll get to go to The Wonderful World of Harry Potter! Me and Linda WILL ride the Hippogriff! I don't care if I am afraid of heights! :D
Me, Susan Marshall, Kyle Dahlem, Luke Ellis, Austin Welch, and Richard Clay were on the front cover of the Monroe Journal because of our trip to Jackson on Feb. 2. I was so shocked to see it on the front page! Plus they had our Robotics competition in there also and they had the winning teams. I tell ya, I felt famous for like a week. Also in that week, I found out that the next book in the Maximum Ride series, Angel came out. I was super excited for that, so last Saturday, I asked my mom to get it for me, and I got it. I'm halfway through it now, but I found out there is only ONE more book after, and then the series is finished. But no worries because apparently they are going to start making movies. I still say that Gage Golightly should play Max. She just seems like the perfect choice. I've seen what she can do on The Troop and there is no doubt in my mind she will be fantastic as Max. :)
I got my ACT scores back and guess what I made. Drumroll please.... 19!!!! I was so happy for that score! Yeah, I know I can do better than that, but it was only my first try. Plus, I didn't get to go to the study sessions for Math and Chemistry, so next time it should be an absolute breeze. Let's hope anyway. :D
Tuesday I got accepted into the National Technical Honor Society. The ceremony was pretty friggin' shweet. Me and Jesyca Hathcock and a few of our other friends and even people we don't know were accepted into it because we have been going to Vo-Tech for two years or more years and we managed to keep a 3.0 GPA. I got to see my old friends from second block Robotics that I haven't seen in months. You better believe there was alot of hugging. I have the pictures to prove it.
Thursday, our Scholarsbowl team went to ICC to compete. We ended up losing the third round, but we weren't too sad or anything. We packed up the van and truck and headed to Tupelo to do some bowling. That was fun also because I haven't been bowling in years. The people to go were Me, Jesyca, Malarie Dean, Kourtney Hubbard, Joey Brown, John Rutledge, Danielle Hathcock, Nicholas Sims, and Cody Caldwell. Mrs. Rutledge was the teacher person thingy. We went out for ice cream afterwards and I tell ya, we all just had a great time that day.
So that's about it for my best two weeks. There was probably more but I know that I can't remember it. Anyway, ciao for now! <3

New Harry Potter Trailer!!!

What the heck? I'm guessing Im just not allowed to change the color or font anymore. Well that freaking sucks. How else am I suppose to show off my artistic swag? Omigosh, I can't believe I just wrote that. TELL NO ONE!! LOL! Anyway, it's not going to ruin my day because last night, the new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows trailer was shown worldwide and it was so AMAMZINGLY EPIC!!!! I was crying from the amazement, and as much as I hate David Yates, it looks as though he did an awesome job with the movie. But I swear if one little thing is out of place, I'm killing him. Watch out, David...
So I'm going to see Eclipse with Twin and our best friend, Jesyca, tonight. Yay.... But the Harry Potter trailer is going to be on it, so now going has a wonderful meaning! :D We're leaving at 9:30 tonight and waiting in line for the midnight premiere. Who knows, it might actually be a whole lotta fun. I hope so. But there are going to be so may screaming fans... like a hundred... oh man, I do not think I can take that... but we'll see what happens.
So, I wanted to write more, since I haven't been on in weeks, but I guess this it for the day. My day is made because, if even for just a day, Harry Potter was way bigger than Twilight and life again had meaning. LOL, I know I'm nuts. I'll try to write back regulary. Ciao!

So-Called Signs (>.<)

It's happened to us all. You meet a guy, think he's just the sweetest things, then BAM! There is some kind of sign that pretty much screams at you that you and him (or her, if you're a guy reading this, but I'm still referring it from the female mind) are meant to be together. It's destiny, it's fate.... It's all a LIE! I can't tell you how many guys I've crushed on in the last few years where all these different signs tell me I'm suppose to be him, then it turns out that he doesn't like you, or you're not his type, or he turns out to be some kind of lying jerk that you trusted.
I'll be the first to tell you that the fates are just plain cruel. They suck you into believing things we've all been told since we were kids ("sweetie, that boy is picking on you because he likes you... honey, he's just ignoring you because he likes you... babe, he's not calling you because he likes you too much... etc... etc...") and then they give us signs that make us think, "oh hey! me and him will so get together!" Like, for instance, you might see his birthday on certain things, or his name appears in places you've never noticed before, or he just seems to pop up in unexpected places. It's ridiculous! I warn you girls (and guys... or whatever), you see you're crush's name or birthday anywhere and think it's a magical sign, don't believe it, because it's only sitting you up for heartbreak and humiliation. It's happened to me so many times and I hate it. I actually really like a guy now who may like me back (we're talking it out). But, and I just realized this today, his first, middle, and last name are all in Harry Potter, which everyone knows is like the best thing ever to me! Ok, well, technically, his middle name is just one letter short of being my favorite character's last name. His first name is the last name of one of my favorite minor characters, and his last name is the first name of my favorite character's brother. Does that make any sense? Do you follow? Oh well, that's the best I can do without giving away his real name. I'm going to bed so I can get ready for church, so Ciao!

Confessions...

I just got done reading Twin's second to last post and realized she let a big secret slip (and don't think I'm mad, Twin, because i swear I'm not!). I have a confession to make to some of the readers (or just reader... whatever, more people will come some day) that look up to me for being such a Twilight hater. See, there was a time when I did like Twilight. It wasn't an obsession like Twin's (never that big!), but I really liked it. On Facebook, I saw all these pieces of flair that kept saying "I Heart Edward Cullen" or "I Heart Jacob Black" or "Team Bella". I had no idea what they were talking about. Then, in December of my sophomore year (please don't ask me how I remember that... better left unknown), I found out what Twilight was from friends, mainly because they were talking about the Movie coming out. So one of my friends let me borrow the first, and I gotta say, it was kinda hard to get into at first. But I always finish a book that I started (wish I could say the same for journal thoughts and diary entries... my memories always end up fading), so I stuck with it. I remember being 15 with a pink and blue High School Musical beanbag chair and being home alone. We had a Christmas Parade in Amory and I wanted to go, but I had to wait until my 'rents got back home. After Hancock went off, I hopped on my beanbag and began reading, getting to the part where Bella met the Cullens for the first time. After I finished that book, my friend gave me the second book, New Moon, and I finished that one before Christmas break. I waited for her to bring Eclipse, but she never did, so I figured I'd never get to read it. I talked with a bunch of my friends about who was better, Edward or Jacob (first, I thought it was Edward, then after New Moon, I was like, Jacob is sooooo much better, even if he did try to force Bella to be with him!). After I my best friend broke up with her boyfriend for an idiot (which she realizes was dumb, but I still hold it against her), I told her she'd just broken up with a real life Edward Cullen and she didn't realize it. After Christmas break, when I started going to ALC, I meant Breanna and Deanna, the absolute sweetest people ever! (If you and find someone else sweeter than them, tell me because I will fight you. :D) Deanna only knew me for two minutes (Do you hear me people? TWO MINUTES!!!!!!) and she let me borrow Eclipse! I loved her forever after that. Once I was done with that, I read Breaking Dawn and viola! I was done and pretty happy. I even considered myself a twi-hard, now that I think about. Breaking Dawn was my favorie because I love Reneesme (correct my spelling). My mom even got me the Twilight movie for my birthday and once I finished the rough draft of my book, Because You Live, I said in my Acknowledgements part that I hoped one day my books could sell as great as J.K. Rowling and Stephanie Meyers. I think it was around summer, or even before then, that I realized Twilight was completely taking over. It was all over magazines, whereas, you might see Harry Potter mentioned on like, one page, maybe not even one. Plus, I considered Robert Pattinson a total backstabbing betrayer! I mean, sure, he's character got killed on Harry Potter, but he didn't have to turn to the other side! (For you chicks out there who think he's so goregous, I have just one thing to say: really? Have you honestly looked at him? Ewww, he looks like something that crawled out of a cow's butt!) I wouldn't take, so I'm totally devoted to Harry Potter now and nothing can pull me away and I will never stoop that far in Twilight again! But.... I have already read the books, so it would only make sense to watch the movies, right? Right? Right. Don't judge me. Harry Potter will always rock, roll and rule. Oh, and if you think I'm so wrong, think about this: Twilight may be in ever magazine you see, on every channel you watch, but Harry Potter has been around for almost TEN YEARS!!!! It will never get old, while Twilight might be around for another year or two, then get as old as dirt. Harry Potter, though, is and always will be a classic. Booya! Some of you might hate me now, but I'm so okay with that. These are my confessions, and now you know my secret past. Ciao!

Summer is here!

I am now officially a SENIOR!!!!!! Omg, I never thought this day would come! I can't even began to explain how happy I am. It's just so amazing and I can't stop talking about it. So now that it's summer, I have so much stuff to do to get ready for senior year. I have to get my permit and license, and a job so I can pay for things like senior portraits, senior trips, and other things they want us to remember from our senior year.

Until I can figure out what I'm going to do, I'm staying with my grandma for a while. Well, right now it's only until Wednesday. Thursday is the Hatley graduation and I'm going for Breanna and Deanna (Arianna and Mariposa). Yep, they are leaving me and Twin and it sucks so much! Me and Twin are so gonna leave right after ALC next year and go visit them!

So besides job hunting and going to get my permit, I don't really know what I'm doing for the summer. I was suppose to go to Disney World (because I've never been) and I was going to go to the new Harry Potter themepark. (Um... can you say every Pothead's dream???? Lol!!!!) My best friend Elizabeth (who's ten and a big Pothead like me) wants to go also, but I don't know if she can. She lives in another state, so if she did go this would be my first time meeting her. I told her that the first time I see her, I'm going to pick her up, hug her, then drag her off to play Quidditch with me! TeeHee! I'm such a big kid that will never grow up!

Speaking of growing up, my birthday is a week from today, on the 22. I will be... drum roll please... 17! I'm sorta excited for it, but then again, I'm not. I just don't enjoy the number 17 for various reasons. I would rather skip 17 and go straight to 18. But anyway, I had to decide what I'm going to do for it, and honestly, I still don't know what I'm going to do. I could stay with grandma and see what they do for me, or I could go back home and hang with my friends. I wanted my cousin MaKayla to be with for my birthday, but she's going to Jackson on the 21st and they won't be back until the 23rd. Her softball time won all of their games and their going to state. As happy as I am for her (because it's such an honor!), it sorta sucks. But you know, you gotta do what you gotta do.

I really don't know what to do with my writing. I'm having so much trouble with Because You Live, Ghost of Me, and Twins after Death. Writer's block is such a freaking drag! I mean, my writer's block would only last like, maybe two weeks. I haven't written in any of my books about a month! Seriously, something must be friggin' wrong with me! But no worries, because this past month surely hasn't been wasted. I've been reading other books, which have given me other ideas for my stories. So hopefully, if God's Will, my writer's block will be completely gone very soon. I'm so ready to write and finish this!
That's it for today, so Ciao!

My real first blog

So, this is my first blog and I'm pretty excited. I'm mean, I've been wanting a blog ever since I found out what one was. Fang has a blog in the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson, and if my blog can ever do as well as his did (like, 22 million followers), can we say "dancing on the roof, celebrating?" :-D That will be me! I got this idea for a blog from my twin, Twin (who, by the way, y'all totally need to follow also!). Me, Twin, Mariposa, and Arianna (nicknames for my real twin friends... looooong story) all love writing so much, it's ridiculous. I really don't know what it is that makes me smile everytime I think of a new character and some random story idea. I think it's just the fact that somehow, I'm inside at least one of my characters in my stories, and that certain character (take for example, Natasha Johnson in my favorite one, Because You Live) is who I wanted to be when I was younger or who I want to be when I'm older, or even who I wish I could be today. It's just so utterly amazing, and not just anyone can understand the feeling. You have to really, honestly, truly get into writing to understand what I'm talking about.
As Twin said in her blog, I started out writing Harry Potter fan fiction. I look back on some of the fan-fics I wrote when I was, like, 12, and I laugh because they actually sound better than my books I'm writing today! I have an account on Mugglenet.com, under the name Niki Libby Chang, where you can read any of my fan-fics if you dare. If I get more people reading them, I'll try to update more.
Writing those few fan-fics when I was a kid is what got me started on this rampage I'm on now. I mean, right now, I'm writing two books and a short story. Once I get writer's block for one story, I just start on the next one, which somehow leads me out of my writer's block. Does that make sense? Who cares? I'm writer! Doesn't have to make sense! :-)
As the name says, my writing most always begans with a dream. I go to bed at night dreaming about what I can do to make something just perfect in my books. I need something that I know will sell, that I know will make it the greatest American novel someday (Don't ruin my dream!!!!). Okay, some of you out there now are saying, "Wow, this chick needs to get a life," because you are CRUEL, while others are thinking, "Wow, this chick is dedicated to this," because they aren't as CRUEL!!!! I do have a life. I go out with friends on Saturdays to the movies and out to eat just like any other teenage girl. I guess my life is just a little more... so to say... creative. I'm saying that the best way possible because I don't want a girl with low self-esteem to read, run and tell her mom I called her stupid and uncreative, then I get booted off the blog. Have I explained how much I actually need this blog? There is one very important reason I left out, and I kick myself for even leaving it out. RUPERT GRINT!!! For those of you oblivious to this amazing, goregous red-head, he's Ron Weasley in Harry Potter. I'm going to marry him one day, so girls, stay away, cause he's mine. Just saying. LOL! Well, I'm going to work on a project for history (it's neaing the end of my junior year and I have a big project to do), so I'm leaving my very first real blog, hoping I didn't bore anyone to tears. Even if I don't get any comments, I'll be back! Ciao!
