This Blog is Rated...

Interesting, huh? Even your 4-year old little sister can read School Maiden! Cheers.
Anywho. This was one long hiatus, wasn't it? But I did have my reasons. Apart from moving, of course. For example... family drama. Yay for that! It will be a good topic to write about once I feel like writing real posts, again.
I'm sorry for not commenting much on your blogs, lately, but knowing what kind of shock I went through, I guess neither of you would judge me. (I even started my new, personal blog. Not like I don't have one, but I want to close that chapter!)

Two Things About Being a School Girl
Tuesday, November 18, 2008 @ 4:24 PM
I want to write about something... interesting, positive today. I've always wanted to have a writing style which can keep people interested, but still cheer them up every once in a while. I guess I still have to learn. Oh, well!
I bet you all know what The Daily Meme is. (I figured it out a bit too late, so I'm pretty new to it.) Anyway, a meme is: "In the context of web logs / 'blogs / blogging and other kinds of personal web sites it's some kind of list of questions that you saw somewhere else and you decided to answer the questions. Then someone else sees them and does them and so on and so on."
So, here's an interesting one! It's called "Two Things". What the heck might that be, you ask? "You know, the Two Things. For every subject, there are really only two things you really need to know. Everything else is the application of those two things, or just not important." Love the idea. This lovely blog started the whole thing, just for the record.
I wonder what the Two Things are regarding our work, being a school girl? It depends on the person, probably. But I'll to think about something useful.
1.) Be yourself. Being on drugs, going to parties and getting drunk just to please your friends, acting like a bitchy witch are definitely in nowadays, but you don't always need to follow the "fashion" trends, do you?
2.) If someone asks your who your hero is, your reply should be Mulan. Because she can turn into a guy, get a guy, and turn back into a girl. (I wonder where have I read this before?)
Plus one from Yahoo: "Only have imaginary friends & don't be surprised if even they let you down." Hah. Clever.
So, what would you say about your "job"? If you write about being a school girl (and so will others), I'll write another post regarding this topic, and quote your ideas (+link back), if you allow me to do so. ;) Feel free to do this meme as your daily blog. Have fun!
Lollipops, Shugo Chara and Three Days Grace
Wednesday, November 12, 2008 @ 6:33 PM
I haven't written a single word since a week. I suck. I suck. I suck. And my life sucks! But I'm having my being-depressed-for-a-month-time, because of all the pressure, which is put on my weak shoulders, and which absolutely can't take a) moving b) my brother's upcoming prom (why am I the one to stress over this? Because I don't know what present to get him!) and c) learning, learning, learning. I forgot d) my mother complaining about my fashion style. "Ugh, sorry? I wear these clothes, not you. I didn't even ask you to buy them, I wanted to tell you recently that I'm about to apply for a job...." (Yeah, I'm slow. I called lots of agencies to check which of them have the highest payment for the worst job ever.)
So, basically, I'm drained. And I having a hard time dealing with my writer's block. Especially, because I want to write about so many things! But they just won't come out the right way... or any way. Instead, I keep watching Shugo Chara, listening to Three Days Grace (a band which won't cheer you up, for sure, but I still love them), and eating candies. Which I am absolutely not in lack of, because my school holds a prom-like thing to the freshmen every year, and we get to torture them in our on ways. I told my "Little Elf" to tell an unknown guy that she has been in love with him since she entered the school and would do anything for him. Cruel? Nah. I went easy on her. (Everyone in my class got a freshmen, because we were freshmen ourselves a year ago... and that's how it goes. Next year they will get to torture their elves.)
The whole class had to make a bag of candy and other sweets for us, so... my teeth hurt. Like hell. And there are still so many lollipops here...
On the other hand, I bought a cute coat, a lovely pair of boots and Twilight (!!) today. Awesome. My day sucked, otherwise. (I have many issues to deal with right now. That's why I'm incapable of giving advice nowadays. Sorry.)
And when I came home, totally pleased with myself, my mother started shouting at me telling me that the coat is too short and I'll get a cold (that will not be the cause of my cold, it's most likely to be one of my classmates sitting next to me....), and the soles of the boots are too thin. I. Am. So. Effing. Fed. Up.
I wanted to tell her how happy I am that I survived this shitty day, and that I finally got Twilight, although the girl at the bookstore told me that they wouldn't have it until some months! I only went inside the shop to look for something for my brother. And I accidentally saw it. My jaws dropped. I was in heaven. I came home. I'm in hell right now.
One Minute Writer: Something You Should Really Check Out
Wednesday, November 5, 2008 @ 6:15 PM
I haven't posted in 5 days. This is such a sad thing (for me). I kind of feel ashamed, because I always make some time to write, no matter how hectic school (and life) is. This is a great practice for me, and thanks to this blog I'm still somewhat near of my all-time biggest dream, becoming a writer. (During the years this was the only all-time biggest dream that didn't change, but it still doesn't mean that I want to spend my time writing books, which may never get published).
So, yeah... I'm the worst kind of blogger. And I have one more issue...
Lucky you and lucky me, I'm addicted to quite many personal and not-so personal blogs. My newest favourite is One Minute Writer. This lovely site helps lots of people to create a daily journal in a way that they only need to write for a minute every day. The whole idea is just so A-W-E-S-O-M-E. So, go and check it out, it might inspire or help you, too!
Well, this happened to me about two days ago. I was on the bus, and some lame kids were pretending to be cool by saying gross things, being loud, listening to their crappy music, and annoying everyone to hell. Unfortunately (?) ALL of my emotions show on my face. If I think "you are such an idiot", everyone can read it from it. If I think "the world is coming to an end, I guess", it shows, too. Sometimes it's quite troublesome.
Anyway, I didn't realize that a man (around age 25) has been looking at my face for quite a long time, thus, he knew what I was thinking (I hope he didn't know that I wanted to throw heavy rocks at those kids, duh!).
After a while, he went to them and told to shut up, because no one is interested in their bullsh*t. I was sooo surprised, wondering if he did this for himself, for everyone, or just me (arrogant, aren't I?). Then, he went back to the place he was standing before, looked at me, and smiled. I whispered "thank you", and smiled back at him. He was watching me until I got off the bus.
It was a bit freaky, but lovely at the same time.

Martha Stewart Show - The Blog Party!
Thursday, September 18, 2008 @ 3:38 PM
This is a bit random. I'm not going to give tips on doing this and that in this post (maybe in another one I'll write today), but instead I'll babble about yesterday's Martha Stewart Show. "We have devoted our entire show to blogging, the subject of blogging, and the method of blogging, and we couldn't have a blogging show without bloggers..." So everyone had to be blogging throught the show. How cool is that?
Erm, anyway, I wasn't there. Because I'm not living in New York, in fact, at the time the show was going, I was most likely.... well, either learning or sleeping. Or trying to figure out how to improve my oh-so-lame vocabulary. I don't read many blogs (four or five, I guess), but most of their editors were at the show, and I could get a good view (description, whatever) on how things were going. I was slightly jealous. I want one of that cute calendar from Cute Overload, too! Not to mention that interesting book based on the blog of A Year of Mornings.
Finally, here is a video of the show's first 9-10 minutes. I enjoyed it, for sure. There is also another one about Perez being in the show, but you can find that for yourselves, if you are interested. I'm not a fan of celebrity gossip.
