Make sure you're not fighting for nothing.

Deer Creek has held class a total of three days in the last two weeks, resulting in never ending boredom for me.

Here's how I've spent my days:

• Naps. And looooots of them.
• Memorizing my DI for a tournament that got cancelled. -_-
• Listening to Avenue Q music.
• Listening to and watching Mamma Mia.
• Learning more Tagalog.
• Some more naps.
• Reading Pretty Little Liars and starting Flawless (the 2nd in the series).
• Shoot with Carissa.
• Freezing my face off.
• LOSING MY NEW YELLOW SUNGLASSES IN A FIELD. GRRRR.
• Rearranging my room.
• Sleeping some more.
• Calling/Skyping Erin, Erika, Leah, Tyler, and Karli.
• My Life As Liz marathon!
• Taking some more pictures.
• Making tofu noodles and health(ier) cookies that felt like rubber.
• Watching The Runaways and You Again.
• Painting.

Annnnd now I'm writing this blog and about to clean out my closet.
So. Much. Fun.
Snow, I officially hate you. You can go away any time.


♥Em.

P.S. I got promoted from a dancing inatimate object to an actual person with an actual name in Beauty and the Beast. SCORE. :)

[Oh My Goddess!]

We haven't really updated anything for a while, so I decided to just say some things. (:
No topic. Just random this and that. Ha.
Here it goes.


1. I lost my phone again. [Go figure.]
2. I am absolutely in love with the show Dream High right now! [Seriously the only thing I look forward to on Mondays and Tuesdays.]
3. I think I wanna go to Baylor U. [The only thing that's stopping me is the school colors.]
4. I traded Pandora for SEOULFM. [Teehee. :P ]
5. My Kpop knowledge has improved 100%! [I'm so much more Asian!]
6. I AM IN LOVE WITH TAECYEON! [I mean, have you seen his abs?! I want this guy.]

;P

-Erika(:

P.S. You might be wondering why I only put 6. [Maybe not.] But the reason behind that is Squad 6.

Ever since camp, 6 had been an even number. ;)

So today is catch-up day!
Ahh!
I've been such a busy-busy bee, so I'm sorry Kar, Em, and Tyler.
Anyway, I have a lot of other things to do after this, so I'll keep it short and to the point.

[No song today, but I do find this video kinda cool.]

You never need to be afraid, just know you went the right way.

When trying to think of my fears, the only things I can think of are semis and getting raped by a big mysterious dude....or lady, but everyone would obviously pee their pants in that situation.

I can't really point to any particular fears that I have at the moment. SO, here are some fears that I have overcome throughout my life.

• Heights. I used to be deathly afraid, but after riding tons of rollercoasters and flying, I actually enjoy being far from the ground.
• Getting stung by a wasp/bee. It didn't happen until 6th grade. I thought it'd hurt forever and be the worst pain imaginable. it wasn't.
• Stage Fright. Choir and Drama did away with this one. The only time I'm comfortable with tons of people watching and/or listening to me is when I'm on stage or competing.
• Being Alone. Even when I felt alone, I knew I had MED by my side. As for relationship wise, I'm in high school. I don't need to be worrying about who I'm going to spend the reast of my life with.
• What Others Think Of Me. I used to worry so much about what others thought, but now I couldn't care less. There's GOING to be people who don't like you no matter what you do. Just keep away from them.

When I was little I thought Osama was going to come kidnap me and blow me up. I also hated big black dogs.

That's all that I can think of. I try not to live with too many fears. What happens....happens.

♥Em.

Welcome to mystery.

Fears.

I have some of the weirdest ones. They're kinda stupid, but they scare me to death. So I'll start from the least stupid one and work my way to the stupidest. Or at least I'll try.

Arachnophobia. It might seem a little lame to be scared of such a little thing, but I'm terrified. If I see one, I don't scream like a little girl and jump on people's heads. I just throw giant things on top of them. It brings me joy.

Claustrophobia. This also includes being pinned down. It's kinda the same thing. I have extreme panic attacks when I get stuck in small spaces. Elevators, unlike most claustrophobic people, don't scare me. But most other small spaces freak me out. I even panic sometimes when I'm in my room.

Agoraphobia. This is the fear of open spaces. I know that sounds so stupid after I just told you that I'm claustrophobic, but I'm also scared of major open spaces like open fields, the ocean, and space.

Phasmaphobia. This would be the fear of the paranormal. But I'm not really scared of this, just exorcisms, but I don't think there's a phobia for exorcisms, even though there is one for cooked liver. There's not really much to say about this one. I mean, it is what it is. It's scary. It scares me. End of story.

Nucleomituphobia. Fear of a nuclear fallout. I think this speaks for itself. And it also kinda ties in with my next fear.

Ligyrophobia. This is the fear of a particular noise. My particular noise? Sirens. I know that sounds ridiculous, but they are probably one of my biggest fears. I don't know why, but I start crying as soon as I hear one. Actually, I wouldn't call it crying since there's no sobbing or anything, but my eyes starts watering and I panic. All my friends make fun of me for it, but it's really scary to me! Haha.

That's pretty much all. I'm sure I have more fears, but these are the major ones. I guess they're not too ridiculous now that I've typed them out and stuff. Oh, well.

--Tylerr.

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers.

Sorry I'm a little late. Blogger was down for a while.

Anyway, the person that I'm, closest to outside of MED right now is none other then Albert Pham (AKA Cricket) I don't know where to start with this crazy kid. He's tons-o-fun to be around.....even though he likes to call me all sorts of names. Whether he realizes it or not, Cricket has taught me a lot.

Albert is one of the first people I met at Deer Creek that was more than just an acquaintance. He is extremely down to earth and one of the most trustworthy people I've ever been friends with. We are most definitely VERY open with eachother. Like, sometimes I feel bad for people who hear bits of our conversations. (*cough*Mrs. Adams*cough*) Pahahahaha!

I'm really glad God didn't oblige to all the prayers to let me stay in Marlow, because if he had, I would have never met this fantastic friendy of mine.

That's all.
♥Em.

You're as cute as a button. (:

Bad news, guys. I have no Internet. But I do have an iPhone, so I can still blog even though it is kinda hard to do so on a phone. But I have lots of time to work on it. I mean, what else am I supposed to do at school.


Alright, we're supposed to write about someone not in MED who's our friend, and my person is Rayne Ashley Grandy. (:


I don't even know where to start with her. This girl is gorgeous and she's seriously one of the greatest people I know. She has one of the BEST personalities. I can't be in a bad mood around her. It's seriously impossible. She radiates happiness and you cannot help but be happy when you're around her.


I met Rayne when I first moved here. She hated me and I thought she was just really weird. But we've come a long way. She's always been there for me and has helped me through so many things. I consider her one of my best friends. She's such a great person and I like her. A lot. (:

--Tylerr.

Forget you and forget her too.

Dear Haters,

Let's get a few things straight.
1. No one here hates Hayley Williams, our views of her have just changed over the last few weeks.
2. Who cares if we have the maturity level of 5 year olds? At least we have fun WITHOUT mouthing people we don't even know.
3. If you think we're that obnoxious, ignore us!
4. You could hate us all you want, if you actually knew us.

With Love,
Emily&Erika.

P.S. Sorry to any of you who have no idea what this post is about.

Around the clock.

I know this is supposed to be for tomorrow, but I now have a life and I don't know if I will be able to get around to it.

Anyway, we are supposed to come up with one word or thing for each month of 2010. I'm going to give it a shot. I might not be spot on with every month, but it'll be around then.

January: Cabin Fever.
February: Bliss.
March: Excitement.
April: Loss.
May: Broken.
June: Alone.
July: Forgiveness.
August: Scared.
September: New Best Friednship.
October: Numb.
November: Uphill.
December: Promising.


2010 was an eventful year. I lost some people for good, gained 5 amazing friends, and learned to forgive, but not forget. Among everything that went down, I think the most important lesson I learned is that God knows what he is doing. I had some really high points and plenty of low points too, but I'm so SO glad that I got to move. I wouldn't have the friends I do now, any of them, including half of MED if it had not happened. As Haley Williams puts it, "This is the best thing that could've happened. Any longer and I wouldn't have made it."

Last night I told Tyler that it was number 2 on the top 3 worst years of my life, but I take that back. '10 was a year of self discovery. I truly found myself and friends that I know I will have forever.

To the rest of MED, I can't wait to do life with you. Here's to 6 months of amazing, crazy, fun memories and inside jokes. I'm pumped to start 2011 with y'all by my side.

P.S. Yes, Tyler, I did quote Hayley Williams. I don't COMPLETELY hate her.

Love ya!
<3 Em.

[It's just a matter of time.]

[Matter of Time - Cartel]

Till death do we party.

First off, I want to say thanks to everyone who actually reads our blog, because sooo many more people actually keep up with this than we expected.




Look! 326 page views. Check it. (:

 

2010 ended with a bang, and it was easily the best year so far. Last night was the most fun I had the entire year. I'm going to miss 2010, but 2011 should be fun. I get my license this year. (:

So, new year's resolutions. One of mine is to actually keep my resolutions, because no one ever does. So I'm going to set goals that I can actually accomplish, you know?

1.) I need to get in shape. I'm tired of being really scrawny. It sucks. I want a six pack.

2.) I know that every single person on the face of the Earth says this when the clock strikes 12:01 on the first day of each year, but I need to be healthy. If you know me, then you know why this needs to happen. If you don't, I am the single most unhealthy person on the plant, even though I weigh in at a total of 135 pounds. I need to drink more water instead of the 8 cokes I have a day. I need to exercise more. I also need to actually try a vegetable for the first time in my life.

3.) I really need to do better in school. Not that I completely suck at school, but I'm not very book smart. And I'm pretty sure book smarts is one of the top things colleges look for.

Those are my three resolutions. Not very exciting, but I think I can stick with them. And if you see me drinking coke, slap it out of my hand. Actually, don't. I don't like when people slap things out of my hand. But you know what I do like? You, for reading this. (:

-Tylerr.

[Cross my heart and hope to die.]

Happy new year! (:

How's your 2011 so far?

Mine has been pretty great.

We got a new house! [But I'll go write about today's topic first.]

 New Year's resolution.
Hmm. I haven't really thought about it, but I'll just type 'em as I think.

1. Get more involved in school activities and what-not. [I was in a lot of activities in Marietta, but sadly, I moved. That means new school, new everything. I've already adjusted and stuff, but I would like to get involved in a lot more things. *cough*Theatre*cough* This one probably won't happen 'til Junior year though. Ha.]

2. Keep everything organized. [Oh, I'm organized, don't get me wrong. (At first!) Although, I seem to have a problem maintaining it. Ha. I will try really hard to keep this one.]

3. Don't pass an opportunity to have fun. [Last year, I joined Speech and it really made me realize that there's a whole new, crazier, world out there. Thanks to my new friends, I made a lot of insanely amazing memories. So this year, I will take every chance I can to just be crazy and have fun.]

4. Don't let anything hold me back or get to me. [Yeah, it's whatever, man.]

5. Keep my summer plans. [I'll try really hard to get that job with Emily, get stuff ready for SPEECHCAMP, and just spend more time and have fun with family and friends.]
Last, but definitely not least...

6. Just. Be. Happy. [There's always a rainbow after the rain, right? (: No matter what happens, a smile will be on my face. As always.]
There's probably more, but this will be it for now. (:

-Erika(:

P.S. Why the heck do I always seem to have a "P.S."?
The real P.S. I know you may not care AT ALL about what I actually did today, but I'll tell you anyway. (:
We went to our house early this morning to paint mine and my brother's room. [We are divas and does not like the simple color on the wall.] We only finished painting his room today, but I'd just like to say that I had sooo much fun! I have the best family everrr! We were all just dancing around, painting and stuff. Like in the movies! Ha. Today was a  really fun start for the year. (:
P.P.S. Try to listen to the songs I put on here. [Hint: It's usually on the bottom of all my posts. *wink* Even the old ones.]

New houseee. (:



[Cross My Heart - Marianas Trench]

Draw a map, pick a path, take a breath, and run.

I seem to have broken every New Year's resolution I've made in the past. So, it may be pointless, but I really want to stick to them this year. I have some major ones and some that aren't a big deal at all.

Become a vegetarian. This may seem crazy, but I've always wanted to try it. For now, it's only for a year, but I may decide to make it a lifestyle later on.

Take a picture every day. It's the only way to get better.

Get at least 5 new favorite musicians. Yeah, I listen to a lot of music, but only from a few artists. Regina Spektor, The Rocket Summer, and Glee are my top three as of now.

Stop drinking soda. I've done it before and it makes you feel so much better.

GET. A. JOB. I've been trying for the last two months and have had really bad luck.

Let go of the past and have fun! This'll be the easiest of all, thanks to my new friends. I feel like I can finally have a life here.


So, here's to 2011, and to all the laughs, trials, failures, success, drama, surprises, growing up, craziness, and life that will happen within the next 365 days.


Peace.
♥Em.
