Exercise

You know what I really want to do at this moment? I want to run. Yes, its midnight and since I've been trying to convert to being a daywalker instead of my nocturnal norm I've be tired to the extreme of I fell asleep with the television on last night. That's something I haven't done in maybe a year or two, except during the day on Fridays when I might fall asleep out in the living room while my dad watches something. Though never on my own accord recent;y. Goodness though, I want so much to have a place where I can run. I am going to find a way to get a treadmill while I live here. Maybe my parents will spring for it next time we gain a rather large sum of money. Running has always been my favorite form of exercise. Why, you may ask. It would be because I enjoy the adrenaline rush you get from running. There is no sweeter joy when it comes to working your muscles, then running and feeling the air rush through your hair, and the inebriating sensation of escaping from anything and everything that comes with it. Sadly for me though, there is no real place where I can go running. :\ I don't like people watching me, so my only choice here in my neighborhood, would be waking up at 5 AM to run in the morning. Which I personally find out of the question. It makes me sad though. I just wanna run, I really would do it everyday if I had the ability. Ah well. :\ I'll find a way one day. Till then I am confined to walking, and staying still, away from my one love of athletics.


PS- I totally blame one of my favorite movies, "Stick It" Ah... I miss gymnastics. T_T

Television these days.

So, back when I was younger I used to be a big TV watcher. It was pretty much all I did aside from hanging out with my friends, and schoolwork. Here in the present though, I rarely watch television. Just my favorite shows that air weekly and occasionally before bed. Oh, an also when my family wants to watch a movie. That's it though, but yesterday, I decided to sit out in the living room with my soon to be 1 year old niece( her birthday is in two days :] ) since we were watching her. My mom usually puts on Sprout or Nick Junior or Playhouse Disney in the morning while her mommy and daddy are working, because those are all toddler oriented television programs. So this thing called 'Yo gabba gabba' or something was on. It scared the daylights out of me. It was like subliminal mind control, despite being for good moral and such. It mostly had these strange animal like creatures teaching moral values on it, with one human, who had a bit of an over cheery disposition and a scary orange, fluffy hat. Over all, it made me miss the television shows I used to watch when I was younger. It also made me remember WHY I rarely watch television anyways. The Disney Channel has pretty much turned into a way from teen 'stars' to become musical artists and all around sluts(mostly for just the girls, but the guys are pretty whoreish themselves) It saddens me that these are the role models for young tween's, and even some who are younger. Being that I'm the youngest child, I don't have any younger siblings, but the majority of my friends do. One of my friends little sisters is around 9 or 10, and more obsessed with her looks than I am, which honestly inst much to compare to since I really don't freak out that much on how I look. The thing is this though, I'm fifteen, almost sixteen, so the world expects me to be one of those brainless girls who only care about boys and how they look(none of my friends are like this, but I do know a few people who are.) But this little girl is just that. A little girl. She shouldn't be worried about attracting guys! Its just scary. Not to mention that fact that they have things like lingerie(okay so its not really lingerie but it is lacy and they have bra's. No girl needs a bra before she even hits puberty.) for preteens. They shouldn't even have that kind of stuff for teenagers! We have no need for it! They do though. That's how sexual and uncensored the world has gotten. If or when I have children, I am raising them on the shows I watched when I was little. Like 'The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh' and 'The Little Mermaid: The Animated series' and others like 'The Animaniacs'. Dude. All of those shows were wholesome. Seriously, if they still came on I would watch them again. Even 'Blues Clues' appeals to me more than what comes on now. Oh what a world we live in.

It just goes to show that boredom and insomnia are a bad combination.

Why yes I AM up at almost 3 AM typing up a useless blog when I could be sleeping! xD Actually no. I'm wide awake at the moment so sleeping isn't an option. Else wise I'd be sleeping. I also don't actually have insomnia... I just randomly can't sleep sometimes. o_o So I am dreading friday for some reason... maybe its cause I dyed my hair a lovely shade of red (WHICH IS TOTALLY A NATURAL COLOR) and am slightly afraid I might get in trouble? I don't really know. Blah. I blame homework. It's ALWAYS homework. Psh. So like... no one will talk to me on aim. xD 3 AM is a perfectly reasonable time to be awake and chatting... if Alaina is awake and had a questionable amount of coffee this morning.. ohh... coffee. I could use some of that right now... Anyways. I have aprehended the slimjim's and I am now holding them hostage 8D Cause they're delicious grease sticks... okay. New dietary plans. Organic only. No more insant foods... very bad.... I need fruit. Okay. ANyways I've completely forgotten my original reason for getting on here to blog... o.0 that happens a lot. Well on the other hand. I AM doing something productive during my anti-sleep fit. I'mmmm doing history :D and some english if I feel like it *burns paper* I wanna go to the library again... I got the Brothers Grimm- Fairy(faerie >_>) Tales... yay! Okay maybe I should stop now. I'm getting totally off subject(which is easy to do if you can't remember the original subject) Kay thanks bai! (Um.. pardon the bad spelling <_< non of my spellchecks seem to be working... T_T)

late night drawing post. Woo.

Well, I claimed to be an artist, so here's something I'm drawing. Yay for digital arts. 8D Anyways, this picture stars two of my characters from my original story, Not Your Average Faerie(working title =_=), which is likely never to come to life. Anyways, the short thing in red is Nyx. She's normally 16-17 but she is featured as a five year old here. The lovely lady next to her is her mother, who isn't alive later on in the story >_> but I've been having fun doing flash backs 8D And I'm even (attempting at) writing a story for this picture slash that time. xD Its not easy for me though. Oh well. Why yes, for those of you who've noticed, I'm writing at 4:20AM or so xD late nighters on a sunday are bad, but I could not sleep D: But I'm going to try to now, so bye bye. =w=

Music is good <3

Mmkay. I have a new love. Its name is violindustrial. It just rocks. Especially when revamped classical music is being played on electric violins. Yes I'm a weird girl but I have to say I'm in love with Emilie Autumns instrumental music. Mind you, if I were you I would not listen to anything with lyrics in it by her. She's a little... descriptive and has no boundaries xD Alas, SOME of her lyrical songs are safe. Like Juliet and Rose Red. Never, I repeat NEVER listen to one of her songs without checking the lyrics xD You'll be in for... a surprise. *cough* Anyways. Now I wanna learn to play the Harpsichord and the Electric Violin along with Classical and Modern Piano(which I AM learning) Yay music fetish! <3 class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Bahaha. Also. Brisingr is an addictive book :3 I'm almost done with the whole book <3.>_> But anyways. Gosh. You know what I really wanna do? I want to take my laptop to the library one Saturday and just spend the whole day they amongst the books. Gosh... I would figuratively kill for that. Ah well, I guess I'll just have to stick with reading the dictionary in the mean time. I mean seriously D: what a better way to learn new words the either reading the dictionary or reading a good novel by a talented and witty author. Good times... good times. Gosh darn it. I am wide freaking awake o.o and its 3:31AM and the current moment of writing. Maybe I'll obsessively clean... or finish the whole weeks school work... yea. Well lets see. I have a tiny bit of history left and a chemistry test I have to study and take.. then my labs. Lastly I have English. Eck. Curses to school. Just.. curses. I'd rather be drawing... or writing or something. I don't really know. =_= Meh, I need to find something else to write about else wise this blog'll end on a sour note. D: Ah I know, I'll talk about piano lessons. The downside to learning these things this late in my technical childhood is that I feel like an imbecile learning the basics of ANYTHING at 15 going on 16. *pitiful whine* Anyways since this was only my second lesson I'm currently working on basic finger excersize. Gosh I feel stupid and insignificant. =_= I am currently physically- and apparently mentally- incapable of playing with both of my hand on the piano unless the left hand is going VERY simple things. My brain just does not compute. *more pitiful whining* Anyways >_> I think I've been writing this blog for an hour... still wide awake =_= going tot go do school now.

It's like a Bowling Ball, Dropped on your head.

"But I don't want to go among the mad people..."

Hello my readers(or lack thereof 8D) How be you? Me? I'm in pain xD Well first off, on Sunday I played a riveting game of flag foot ball with church... ouch. Today on the other hand, my legs were fine, up until I played a whacky version of DDR(horrible songs on this version D: I missed my j-pop) with Kyle at the bowling alley. It hurt xD and we failed, quite splendidly. As of right now, I'm hopped up on coffee 8D Mmmm Caffeine <3 style="font-style: italic;">he was the one who provoked me D: I'm volitile, its just my nature. You can't hate the bird for flying or the fish for swimming. Well... I suppose you can, but its not exactly fair. >_> anyways... cough cough. I smashed my fingers while bowling D: that and I fell in the lanes. Not cool, thankfully no one had a camera. xD Blackmail much? I'm learning the piano again 8D fun fun fun. I like piano its so pretty >3 Do you like my little Alice's Adventures in Wonderland quote? That was a good book, I was never quite as into it as say Kelsey or Kyle, but I did love the book. Very crazy and all that. I actually preferred The Looking Glass Wars, which was a book by an author I can't seem to remember, that was more or less a backwards version of it. Instead of Alice being a girl from our world, she was the Princess of Hearts in Wonderland. On her birthday was a wondrous celebration, but her evil Aunt Red came and ruined the party, sending her through a portal to our world, where she spent some of her first years as an orphan in Britain on the streets, till she was picked up and brought to an orphanage to be adopted, and eventually met up with Reverend Dodgson aka Lewis Carroll, who wrote her story for her, only the dolt screwed it up and gave us what we now have. I'm not going to say anymore though, you'll have to pick it up and read it. I never actually got around to reading the sequel, Seeing Red, all the way through. I'll have to do that sometime. One question before I go, should anyone I know miraculously find this blog and comment, what should I be for Halloween? Lauren says a Zombie Alice in Wonderland. Mummy says a Ninja xD But I'd end up being a soul reaper from bleach. Or should I just make up a character and be it? You should tell me 8D


Well, ta ta for now.

Alaina.

"...Oh you can't help that... we're all mad here."

Pain pain pain...

Ouch. That's all I'm really able to say right now. Yesterday was full of pain. From flag football, but oh my gosh it was fun. I was mostly the rusher, so I got to run and try to grab the quarter backs flag. Now, I'm not exactly the most physically active of people, so this was a major strain on my muscles. xD Because not only did I run around, doing gymnastics and stretching on the sidelines, for two hours, I went over to my friend Leannas house and swam for ANOTHER two hours. Then we walked around.. and I was basically Dead on Arrival when I got home. I managed to tackle two people, and steal the flag once or twice. It was fun. I just don't think I'll be moving much for a few days... bah.. piano lessons at 6. *dead.*

I'll be going to the hospital now...

Evil laptop

I can think of no explanation of it but this, my laptop is possessed. I swear, the charger randomly dies... then turns back on! For no apparent reason! Electronics have a long history of hatred towards me. My old computer(may it rest in piece) was such a dust magnet, and in growled at me. Then it died. Wouldn't start up anymore-mind you, this thing was likely older than me o_o- though before that I'd have to turn it on, it'd freeze, and then I'd leave it like that for half an hour before turning it off and on again. Tedious business. Anyways, I'm off to finish homework before church tonight. ^^

Short much?

Fangasmic

Ohmygosh. Just... oh my gosh. Words are unable to express my current state of being. As of right now, there are four books which I crave intently. Okay, here is the down low. I am a nerdy geeky whatever girl, who is utterly obsessed with books, mainly fantasy books and those having something to do- directly or indirectly- with faeries(and other magical creatures of the sort.). So, first off we have Brisingr. Brisingr is the third book in a series- that was once a trilogy but is now going to have four books- called Inheritence. Anyways, its about a young boy named Eragon who finds a dragon egg blah blah blah becomes a dragon riding warrior blah blah blah is a stupid boy who somehow miraculously manages to save the would blah blah blah find lost family blah blah blah pisses off the elves blah blah makes up with the elves blah blah insert plot here blah story. Its actually not boring but that would be far too much for me to type right now seeing as I can barely contain myself as it is. Anyways, the third book is coming out at an increasingly soon time and I really really want it. ARYA ROCKS. Eragon fails. Murtag hott. Yes. Okay. Back to the subject on hand. The NEXT book I would ever so appriciate, would be the sixth book in the Artemis Fowl series, by Eion Coilfer(how can his books NOT be cool when his name is?) Time Paradox. Squeegasm. I love Artemis. I have this issue with being undeniably attracted to fictional characters... its rather worrisome, but whatever. He is seriously a freaking awesome guy! He is super smart(a genius really[why do I always like the smart ones?{oh well}]), yet incredibly akward about girls! Its endearing. Yes. I'm a dork. Bite me. Anyways, Coilfer left it off at a major cliffhangerish point which makes me pout in angsty..ness. Bahaha. Kay, NEXT BOOK is Inkdeath(Me and kelsey TOTALLY predicted the title. Go us.) by Cornelia Funke(yet another freakishly awesome name. For serious.) Which is, once again. FANTASY! Yay me!(I secretly play role playing games[actually, that's not a secret xD{WOW for the win baby.}]) Kay, again back to subject. The last book I would kill for would be a book by one of my authors(authoress's?) Holly Black. She is just MADE of win. Seriously. She wrote about faeries AND Japan! In the same series! I would sell my kidney for a chance to meet her... or Terry Pratchett... or Jesus(haha don't have to sell my kidney to meet him! >D[Nooo, I didn't have any caffeine, what EVER gave you that idea. xD]) Baha, pardon me while I spasm on the floor in joy. Hmm, I haven't checked up on some of my other favorite writers, such as Tamora Pierce( Baha medieval<3)>_>


PS- Blogspot sucks! They only let me have half of my tags. D: Fail.

Crossroads

I'm rather stuck on something. You see, on the site that I post my art on, fanart for different shows and books is very popular, but people still post original things on there. Now, the majority of my gallery is my original work. I have maybe three pieces of fanart on there, and every once in a while I'll post fanart. My page isn't very popular xD That's because I don't post fanart. People rarely search for the tags that I have on my art, and if they do, they probably won't see mine. xD Anyways, I'm wondering if I should just start drawing fanart more often, I mean, I want people to see my original art... but I'm not a big fan of drawing fanart. =\ They're not my characters, and I prefer to draw Nyx(she is my favorite original character. =3) then to draw say, Sakura, from a show called Naruto. Its really really popular, and I love the show, but again it comes down to, do I really want to sell myself out for pageviews? I just don't know... =\

What do you think?

Internet Fights....

.... Are kind of funny.


Anyways, a few days ago, on the art site I get on frequently, one person was blatantly insulting this really good artist I follow, so, I went and looked at their gallery, and they're quite the hypocrite. He had said that the girl who's art I watch couldn't do proper anatomy, when their 'skinny female' looked like a freaking twig, so I of course, being the helpful citizen I've been known to be(sarcasm), decided to point this out to them. I also happened to comment on one of their posts concerning how he hates when people pick on his atheist friend's- he said he was a Christian to boot, it made me laugh- and how just because they didn't believe in God didn't mean they were going to hell. So I took it upon myself to point out that without God or Jesus, there was no way into heaven. SO today when I logged on today, I found several replies to my comments. He actually challenged me in a theology battle, which I gleefully accepted. He ALSO comment about my anatomy. It was quite funny how he chose to comment on my oldest and worst pieces. Not even noticing the vast improvement. He even quoted me xD It was simply side splitting. Oh, and to top it off, one of his little friends called me a minion! sheep. xD Which is simply hilarious, because that would also make the commenter a 'minion! sheep'. Which I gladly pointed out to them. I'm now waiting for a reply. =] People seem to think that I'll back down if they actually say something smart. So funny. Isn't Internet debating funny?


Much love!

I hate titles. Why do they exist?

Hello there, I'm back again to waste bandwidth with my useless ranting. Fun times, fun times. That's something I have yet to fully understand, why does each site have a limited amount of bandwidth? I mean, I always used to think that the internet was endless, though I seemed to think a lot of peculiar things when I was six. I would swear up and down that my favorite fictional character, Sailor Moon, was real and she was infact going to make me the Sailor Senshi(scout for all you dubbys out there) of Saturn. Why yes I was(am) eccentric. I enjoy it really, makes people turn heads, and one of my biggest pleasures in life is shaking the norm. Mind you, not in a way that could be considered morally(by the bible, not the worlds view) wrong... or illegal(cough). Normal is severally over rated, and its for people who're afraid to step out of the flock and try something new. Whats the point of doing what everyone else is doing? Clearly it doesn't really make a difference in the world if it takes so many people to acomplish. Why strive to fit it? If a piece doesn't fit in the puzzle, you don't force it in(Unless of course you're 3, or an imbecile.), you look for something that will fit. You can't force yourself to be something your not, unless you want to experience a lot of pain and discomfort. So stop acting like everyone else and be your own person for a change, and no, I do not mean rebel against society. Just against peer pressure. =] Its amazing how I can get from the internet to this. Especially when I should be doing math. Ha.
... I really need to think of a neat parting phrase.

-Alaina

The hell we like to pass of as school.

Er, Why is there usually only one type of black layout? I mean seriously. You'd think there would be different kinds... anyways, this isn't why I am writing. I don't really know WHY I am writing per se, other the the fact that I just got off of my English teachers blog and it was a continent time. Well Fay is done with, there was pretty much no damage in my neighborhood as far as I know, but I tend not to walk around the neighborhood frequently. I'm pretty sure that the roads farther in the back turned into a river. We even had a mini pool in our yard. The dogs enjoyed that, and I got the 'lovely' privilage of cleaning them up afterwords. I woke up today feeling absolutly horrible, not to mention the fact that both my parents AND my grandfather were mysteriously gone. Not cool for a half awake sick person to wake up too. So I called my mom, that wasn't fun seeing as everyloud noise caused my headache to flare, trying to ask her where she was. I meant to say 'Where are you and why am I alone' but it likely came out as 'wereing watermelon.' o_0 I know. I'm strange. Anyways. I really hate school already. I have to finish a crap load of latin by friday, and finish my history, and my chemistry. Thank the Lord that I didn't have any math assigned for this week(thought I did last night, but lets not go there). I have a feeling that world history and english will be my favorite classes this year, which is kind of ironic, seeing as I hate history and fail at english. Ha. Also, a parting word of advice. Don't fall asleep in the shower. Just don't.

Wow I sound emo.

Contrary to what my blog title may lead you to believe, I am not, nor will I ever be, 'emo'(I advise you never to even bring up that word in a conversation with me, I'll then proceed to rant your ear off about whiny children who need a reality check.) but, I fail quite epically in the area of naming. Some artist I am. Though I never claimed to be witty in words. You may think, 'Why on earth am I still reading this? Clearly this girl is insane.', well, you'd be correct, at least, I'd like to think myself insane. No one on this earth can claim sanity. We all do stupid things, and to be sane you must be of a sound mind. People with sound minds don't do stupid things. Simple as that. So yes, not only am I insane, but so are you, doubly so in fact, because you're still reading this blog. Haha. I'm far to lazy to even attempt to format my blog as of right now. Eventually, I might be willing to make myself a header. Like that'll happen. Anyways, this blog is for my English class... kinda. It was originally created because I wanted to comment on another blog, but then I forgot it existed, and re-found it when I tried to create a new blog with the same email, and it told me that I already had one. So lo and behold, here you are. Why are you here again? Bah, like anyone actually cares. They just pretend to. Yes, I am mean and sarcastic. Get over it. =] (yes I used an emoticon. I've two words for you. Bite me. =]) Anyways, I'll leave you now. Enjoy your life.
