It just started today, and I'm already 556 word into it. To "win" you have to write 50,000 words or more.

So with that I just want to say sorry if I don't post anything. I have so many pictures to post, but I'll be busy writing my novel.

Wish me luck, and if you want to participate the site is Nanowrimo.org.

The only problem for me...is I know my mom wouldn't do it so pretty much I would only be able to do what I can to save electricity...which is lock myself in my room with a flash light, and a book and read for a solid hour. It's not like I haven't been doing that the past week...because...well...I have.

Anyway, I have been reading a lot this week. I've read three very awesome books and I'd recommend them to anybody who loves a good story. The books are: "An Abundance Of Katherine's" by John Green, "13 Little Blue Envelopes" by Maureen Johnson(And no I am not just writing 13 because I'm to lazy to spell it out, that's how it is on the cover of the book.), and "Looking For Alaska" by John Green. I found all three to be very good. They kept my interest, and left me wanting more. I didn't want to put any of them down. Though in the case of An Abundance of Katherine's I had to wait till the weekend was over before I could finish. I Volunteered at Camp Awanita this past weekend and there was no time to even read a page (and trust me I tried!!). So if you are looking for a book that delivers a great story line and keeps you at the edge of the seat wondering what happens next I recommend all three.

Anyway like I said I went to Awanita, but I didn't just go for another volunteer weekend, it was also a interview weekend for anyone wanting to be summer staff. It was a great weekend, and it has gotten me excited for the summer. Only two more months. I should be getting the packet for everything about the summer in the mail either this coming up week or the week after that. I'm super excited. I'm hoping that I don't make the same mistake I did last summer and I can actually come away from it feeling like I did work for God.

Other than that I've been message bands to ask if I can play their music on my radio show BGCG Radio [link] , and researching for The New Rock Podcast, which we had to record early this wek due to Brandon's new job and the scheduling. I don't mind though. I do wish I would have known sooner, that way I could have gone to the CIPA Championships. oh well. At least I got to see the guards and winter line perform once this season.

That's pretty much it. Sorry for the run on sentences. I actually hate run-on sentences, but today it's the only way I could get my points across.

Earth Hour in T-minus one hour nine minutes. I better go take a shower now.

DFTBA
Best Wishes

Every time I go over to Jason's to record the podcast something new always happens. This week something big(at least to me) happened. So Jason and I recorded our stuff, and Todd and Tyler come over like normal. Todd and I started flirting like we normally do, but this week was different. I'm going to spare the details because I bet they are boring, but towards the end of the night he starts trying to tickle the inside of my arm. I try swating him away, but it doesn't work, so I just stop struggling. And he keeps rubbing my arm. So I decide to sit up, and he reaches for my hand, and for the rest of the night we hold hands. If that's not a sign he likes me then I don't know what is.

I sent him a message asking if he likes me at all, but I haven't gotten a reply yet. As the week goes by I'm starting to freak out and think that me sending the message was a huge mistake. I just keep thinking of all the bad that could happen, and I haven't once thought anything good.

Someone comfort me, and help me at least give me some advice.

]]> ~aotsgirl522 http://aotsgirl522.deviantart.com/journal/22742699/ http://aotsgirl522.deviantart.com/journal/22742699/ Thu, 22 Jan 2009 17:41:58 PST
Saturday of course I went to Jason's to record show number seven of the new rock podcast. This weeks show was cut short because I wanted to play Brandon(Todd) at Scrabble. Scrabble and really any puzzle game I'm really good at. I was hoping that I was good enough to beat Todd, but he gave me a run for my money. He beat me bad. I'm just really glad that I didn't bet anything on it...because I probably would have had to do something I wouldn't have wanted to do.

Anyway We hung out for a while after the game. I have now realized that I flirt way more than I thought I did. With constant flirting comes consequence. I flirt with Todd...a lot! Now I've grown quite fond of him, and now I kind of like him. It's not just me who flirts though. He does quite a lot of flirting back, and it is sending me so many mixed signals. I don't think I've ever had anyone flirt back, so it's quite a strange feeling. He's also 25...and I'm 20. I mean that's a huge gap. To be quite honest, I normally like guys either my age or a little bit younger, but I've never liked anyone older than me. So this is kind of new for me. He's a sweet guy, and I like hanging out with him. I just don't want to make it to where it's awkward when recording the podcast. I don't know. I guess I'll just have to see what happens as it comes.

Other than that I got my hair cut. I needed it, and I like it. I'll possibly post a picture of it sometime soon.

I still have no job, which means I still have no car, which means I still can't go places I want to when I want to. lol.

but life is picking up.

I already told you about my radio show...well I told you I had a test run. Well It has become official. I host my radio show every Thursday Night at 6pm est standard time. It's taken a bit of a break so that I won't have to deal with the Holidays(Christmas and New years day both fell on Thursday this year by chance.), but I'm going to be back the coming Thursday The 8th. I'm excited about it because I'm going to have my very first guest host, Michael Miller. I'm excited cause this will be the first time I talk to him(Other than myspace) since I've graduated. You can find my show at blogtalkradio or at the link.>>> blogtalkradio.com/bandgirlcg I'm expecting great things for that in this new year of 2009.

Oh and by the way Happy New Year!!!

And secondly I've been asked by my friend Jason if I would like to co-host a podcast he started called the new rock. I was surprised when he asked me. Originally I was supposed to be just a contributor. The guy that was suppose to be co-host with Jason, just never came. So Jason made a decision and asked me to take his spot. Of Course I accepted cause you all know(and if you don't shame on you) I love Rock. All kinds of rock. And I love finding new music, and sharing that new music with the world...Or the people that actually care to look, read, and listen to what I have to say. Anyway. Jason and I are also joined by two others Tyler and Brandon. They are two cool dudes. Especially Brandon. I think I'm starting to like him, and by the way he acts, I think he likes me too but I'm not sure. I'm terrible at judgment calls like that. Anyway. They make it even more interesting. Jason started contacting bands, so now we are going to be interviewing bands soon and I'm excited on what could happen. You can find that at thenewrock[dot]com or just follow this link.>>> Thenewrock.com

Anyway. I'm still taking pictures, and I finally uploaded pictures from the past month and a half on my computer so I should have new stuff within the week or so.

That's pretty much all that's going on in my world as of late. I'm trying to get it to where I post blogs on everything ore often cause I feel like I'm neglecting everything I have.

So I guess you call that a new years resolution...even though I hate keeping them, cause I can never stick to them.

Much love everyone.

oh and just so you know. Whenever I type stuff and I just realized this when I sent a comment to my friend on myspace, that I speak it out in my mind, but in an Austrailian accent.

It's probably because of Marcelina!!! lol.

If you don't know what I'm talking about go here.>>> Blogtalkradio.com/morningmadhouse

Oh and if you want to go to the best website on the face of the earth go to cult vault. I consider it my online family, because everyone there is so nice and comforting. It's a place to post poetry, writings of any kind, photography. And you won't be shot down. Nope It's a drama free zone, and trust me if you mess with one of us you mess with the whole lot! follow the link.>>> Cultvault.org And if you're trying to search for it using com you'll never find it. use org!

Anyway I hope you enjoi it and please tell me if you think I should keep going or quit cold turkey(Even if you tell me to quit, I'm still going to make them because it's quite fun and I loved doing it!)

I'm starting a radio show, and I need your help!!!

I love music and I want to be able to play the music I love to people who are willing to open their hearts to new exciting music.


That is where you come in!!!

In order for me to play said music, I have to have permission by you, the Bands!!!

It would be a great opportunity for you to promote your band, because no matter what people listen to the radio shows, I've just witnessed it with my first show!!!

And don't worry, not only am I going to play your music, I'm also going to include links in the chat rooms to your myspace, and include you in the show notes.


I love music.
Music is my life, and this would be the best way for me to show the world(Or those that listen to my show), the music I'm listening to and the music I support!!!

Give me the chance to support you!!!

Thank you!

And if you want to send me mp3's of your songs to play, just email me ay

Anyways Awanita was one of the best experiences of my life. It was so great that it is tied with band. yeah! I am totally going to be working there next summer and I'm going to be volunteer there this fall as much as I can.

I made some really great friends, have a bunch of great memories, and I had a lot of firsts this summer. Now don't get me wrong, I did get irritated but hey who doesn't. I mean being around the same 19 people 24/7 for two months you start to get cabin fever and want to just escape. I did want to smash someone's head in and almost cussed someone out(But held it in because I was at a Christian camp and I prayed before I could say anything so I'd feel bad if I let anything slip.), but These people became my family, and they were the ones I didn't want to leave at the end of the summer. I was afraid of being the outcast and not making any friends what-so-ever, but I made 19 really close friends, and I can't wait to see them again! I love everyone of them in a special way. Even the full time staff were like family and I knew if I ever needed anyone to talk to I had all these people who would welcome me with open arms.

though there was drama and it felt like the Real World without camera's at times I still had a blast and wouldn't trade the time I had there with anything else.

Now what I'm going to do now that summer is over is beyond me, but now I have a foundation and a work ethic that I can only build off of. Look out world because Alicia is ready to make her mark!!!

My best friend recently had his Lung Collapse on him. I'm scared out of my mind!!! I know God makes things happen for a reason, but Why does something like that happen to such a great guy. I am just afraid of losing another person I hold near and dear to my heart!!! He is the one person I trust more than anyone. He is quite honest and he would never hurt a soul. He is also a good Christian boy. I just talked with him a few minutes ago and he said that he had a 40% chance of it happening to him again, and he said it was painful the first time. I just don't want him to go through that pain again. I'd rather it happen to me, someone who doesn't have everything going for her. I'm not going to school, I don't even have a real job, yeah I'll be working at a camp but only for the summer after that I have nothing. I just sit here. He's got so much going for him. He's the Drum Major for one of the best marching bands in this area, He is on track, He is super smart, and super sweet. I'm just worried. I'm gonna go visit him either tomorrow or Tuesday. I owe him that before I move to camp. That and I promised him that when he got super smash brothers brawl that I'd come over a play it with him, and he got it as present for what happened.


Just keep him in your prayers please!!!

One day a giraffe ate some grass. It was purple and smelled of cheetos!!! He'd liked how it tasted so he ate more and more and then died, because the grass was poisonous.

The moral of this story...Don't eat grass that's purple!




I'm bored can't you tell.


Now I have to get off cause my brother's about to come home.

I am going to continue to pray for my future, but right now I can only pray one day at a time.


Anyways. Friday I'm leaving for North Carolina to see the CIPA Championships. This is the final competition for the Easley winterguards and winterline for this season. I will be there cheering them on and hopefully they will redeem themselves after the Brynes competition(which I think was rigged because all of the Byrnes shows got first even though some of them weren't all that great...) Anyways I can't wait because that might be the last time I see the guard and drumline kids for a while(I'd say about 5 to 6 months before I see them again.)


Well I'm going to go. I hope everyone has a great week!!!


Peace, Love, conserve water, Recycle, oh and stay away from those sourdough sandwiches they have down there at Kyrstal, or White Castle if you up North.

anyway song lyrics times. This one is dedicated to a good friend of mine even though he might not read it.

"3 Cheers For Me" by Love You To Death(Formerly The Pettit Project)

P-E-T-T-I-T
The Pettit Project welcomes you to Cheerocracy.

LET'S GO!

Still on this losing streak,
Still trying to clear my mind.
Still on this crappy team
And leave the past behind

We're colored blue and red,
Your fucked up in the head.
And I'm the goalie, captain quarter-back of the team.
Called the Obsessive x-boyfriends.

Three cheers, four me.
I'm going to get over you finally.
I can sleep, and I can't see you in my dreams.
Ask me what year, and six weeks.
I've turned my back on my dignity
Now it's time to clear my mind and convince myself that you died

And it's been to long.
And I've been f-f-fighting
To figure out my wrongs.
But as I of this writing.
I've reviewed the game tape a hundred times.
But when our love was at stake.
I threw you a fake, and sent out my best line.

Three cheers, four me.
I'm going to get over you finally.
I can sleep, and I can't see you in my dreams.
Ask me what year, and six weeks.
I've turned my back on my dignity
Now it's time to clear my mind and convince myself that you died

GO!

Three cheers, four me.
I'm going to get over you finally.
I can sleep, and I can't see you in my dreams.
Ask me what year, and six weeks.
I've turned my back on my dignity
Now it's time to clear my mind and convince myself that you died

It's one of the reason's winter is my favorite season. That and I love cold weather!!! any I took a lot of pictures and I don't think I'm done yet but just so you know later on tonight or tomorrow I'm going to post some pictures that I took from last night and this morning.


Anyway. right now I'm mapping out my video that I'm going to make. Figuring out which pictures I want to put wear and what songs I'm going to use and what not! I can't wait till the finished product!!!


Well I'm going to go play in the snow some more!!!!



Snow days are awesome!!!!

My friend Ashley went to their concert in Columbus, SC last November and she said that this one was better than the one she went to!!!

But anyways. I have a bunch of footage and pictures from the concert so I'm going to make a sorta music video of everything I got!!!


I can't wait to see how it turns out!!!

Anyway. I can't wait till this Saturday. The Easley winter ensembles are going to Dorman for the CIPA(Carolina Indoor Performance Association)Qualifiers. I really can't wait to see The JV and Cadet guard do their show, But I'm really interested in seeing the Varsity Guard. Because well They are the people I've been tight with the past two and a half years and I'm really excited to see how they have progressed!!! I also can't wait to see the Drum line group. I've heard the song the are playing and I liked it. I have yet to hear them play and yet to see their drill so it will be exciting!!!
The Cadet guard show I heard is really cute! And The JV guard show I heard is gonna be cool so I just can't wait to see everyone perform!!!


On That note I'm gonna go and leave you guys with song lyrics that are stuck in my head!!!


"Who Am I Foolin' " By Alexz Johnson


My skin doesn't fit
my words seem so hollow
I feel like a fraud
And that's a bitter pill to swallow

Sometimes it hits me right between the eyes
Everyone can see through my disguise

Who am I fooling
I'm just a smiling face
In a make-believe world
Who am I fooling
I'm just a wannabe
So easy to replace
Pretending I'm a perfect girl

All alone in the mirror
All alone on the shelf
I'm trying to hold on
To a little piece of myself

Doesn't anybody realize
Even I don't buy my own disguise

Who am I fooling
I'm just a smiling face
In a make-believe world
Who am I fooling
I'm just a wannabe
So easy to replace
Pretending I'm a perfect girl

There's a part of me that's fighting back
There's a part of me that knows
When I'm pouring out my heart
I'm still putting on a show

Who am I fooling
In a make-believe world
Who am I fooling
So easy to replace
Pretending I'm a perfect girl
Who am I fooling
I'm just a smiling face
In a make-believe world
Who am I fooling
I'm just a wannabe
So easy to replace
Pretending I'm a perfect girl
Who am I fooling
I'm just a smiling face
In a make-believe world
Who am I fooling
I'm just a wannabe
So easy to replace
Pretending I'm a perfect girl
Pretending I'm a perfect girl

Lyrics from a song that has been stuck in my head for a few days.

"Groove Is In The Heart" by Deee-lite

You're going to dance
You're going to dance
You're going to dance
And have some fun

Dig

The chills that you spill up my back
Keep me filled with satisfaction when we're done
Satisfaction of what's to come

I couldn't ask for another
No, I couldn't ask for another (Another try)

Your groove, I do deeply dig
No walls, only the bridge, my supperdish
My succotash wish (Sing it, baby)

I couldn't ask for another

No, I couldn't ask for another

Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart

Watch out!

The depth of hula groove
Move us to the, the hoop
We're going through to, Horten hears a who

I couldn't ask for another
No, I couldn't ask for another

DJ Soul was on a roll
I been told he can't be sold
He's not vicious or malicious
Just de-lovely and delicious

I couldn't ask for another

Someone's in this torso (Yeah)
Hot, gotta deal you wanna know (Wanna know)
Dee-Liteful, truly Dee-Liteful (Liteful)
Makin' it, doin' it, 'specially at show (Show)

Feeling kinda high like a Hendrix haze (Haze)
Music makes motion moves like a maze (maze)
All inside of me (Side), heart especially (Yeah)
Help of the rhythm where I wanna be (c'mon)

Flowin', glowin' with electric eyes (Ha)
You dip to the dive, baby, you'll realize (Yeah)
Baby, you'll see the funky side of me
Baby, you'll see that rhythm is the key (Hmm!)

Get get ready with it (With it)
Can't can't quit it (!uit it)
Stomp on the stoop when I hear a funk loop (Loop)
Playing Pied Piper, follow what's true
Baby, just sing about the groove (Sing it)

Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart

1, 2, 3, brrr

Blow them horns, oh, lord

Groove is in the heart

Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart

C'mon, ya'll, are ya'll are crazy, man

I was gonna play flute. I was really excited about playing it, but the parts were way harder than I though they were gonna be. So that when it came down to it, I really could only play bits and pieces of the musical...That and out of the 12 songs flute only play 6 songs. There is a song for a piccolo, but I don't own one and it sounds weird with a flute playing that part. Timpani was a way better choice for me. Because the music is easy for me. I also always wanted to play a percussion instrument. I guess it's just that urge to hit stuff. lol.

Anyway If any of you want to come see the musical, there are two shows! Yay!!! Two times for me to screw up!!!! jk jk lol. The shows are December 1st and 2nd both starting at 6 o' clock @ Brushy Creek Baptist Church.

On my live journal...I post a music video of the day, but since in here you can't post videos I'm gonna post lyrics. idea stolen by


This song has always hit home with me, especially with my depression and all. I listen to this song when I'm feeling down and for some reason It cheers me up. It helps me think about all the good times I've had with great people, and it helps me realize how truly blessed I am. That and I am listening to it right now. lol.


"Adam's Song" by Blink-182

I never thought I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest who'd have known
I traced the cord back to the wall
No wonder it was never plugged in at all
I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine, I didn't think enough
I'm too depressed, to go on
You'll be sorry when I'm gone

I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over we'd survived
I couldn't wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone

I never thought I'd die alone
Another six months I'll be unknown
Give all my things to all my friends
You'll never set foot in my room again
You'll close it off, board it up
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall
Please tell mom this is not her fault

I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over we'd survived
I couldn't wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone

I never conquered, rarely came
Tomorrow holds such better days
Days when I can still feel alive
When I can't wait to get outside
The world is wide, the time goes by
The tour is over, I'd survived
I can't wait till I get home
To pass the time in my room alone

Though this my 18th year of life has been crazy beyond a doubt. I can possible it was my best year of life so far. On my 18th birthday I told someone how I felt for the first time ever, and I had genuine feelings for him. I had my first major heart ache over this same guy. It's a long story to get into and I'm done telling the story so don't ask please. let's just say he lead me on, but he didn't feel the same way about me... Anyway. He is still my best friend and whatever makes him happy I have no problem with. I went to Disney for the first time with the band. I and the rest of the Easley guard got our very first 1st place medal at the CIPA(Carolina Indoor performance Association) Championships. I went to my first DCI program. It was the southeastern championships and it was the best thing ever. I went to the beach for the first time ever. But what hurt me the most this year is that this is the first year I've never been able to see my friends every single day. The last few months of my 18th year of life were depressing. But anytime I got to hang out with my friends I was happy.

Now I'm afraid I'm losing my best friend Kathryn. I don't know why but I have had this feeling like she doesn't want me around anymore. I kills me, but maybe this is the push I need to move on with my life. Maybe my ties with my friends are suppose to break. Well at least my friends that are still in high school. I hate saying that, but It's time.

Well I'm going to sleep.

I'm gonna be a vamp maybe! who knows.


Anyway. My birthday is only a week and two days away. Novemeber 9th to be specific. I'm sorta passive on this birthday. Normally I'm happy about my birthday, but this year I'm not really excited about it. For one thing people what to get me gifts and that's not what I want. I just want the pleasure of their company. That's more rewarding to me than any gift that people can give me.


Anyway that's it.

Have a great day everyone!!!

The Guard and Drumline got 1st in their class. But again not just in their class but through out the whole day!!! The guard pulled up their first place pwnage from 5 points ahead at their first competition to 7 points ahead at their second competition!!! I was so happy for them. I was flipping out.


Since then I have been in high spirits. I made up a need flag toss. I'm going to show my friend Dee! I know she'll like it.

I finally introduced myself to my neighbor. She's not that bad. We have stuff in common. like ex's. lol.

And I have a job interview tomorrow at hardee's. I'm excited. Yeah I know I could probably find better work but until then, I'm not going to complain. I need the job and I need to start saving up for tech, and tiger band, and Carolina Crown.

(Carolina Crown for those of you who don't know is a drum corp that resides in Fort Mill, SC. A drum corp is like a marching band except without woodwinds. It just has brass instruments, a Drum line, a Color guard, a front ensemble[pit], and a drum major. It is considered The marching band major league!!!

[link] (before you watch this video go and to the side and watch the carolina crown part 1)

These four videos are together this years Carolina Crown Show. It's Entitled "Triple Crown" )

and that's pretty much it! I'm going to go now!

~Peace~

Well My body just likes to screw with my plans. I woke up with my throat hurting worse and with pink eye!!! And I was suppose to go to the band practice today.


And I'm probably not going to be in any shape to go to the band competition on Saturday.


It makes me mad.


Is it bad for me to say that I want this sickness to be deathly. Maybe then I can die and not have to worry about anything else!

Saturday I was perfectly fine then I wake up Sunday Morning and I feel horrible.


What gives?


Oh well I hope I get better before Thursday. If I don't I'll be sorta mad!

It's for hearing “Backstreet Boys Are Gay” nonstop.
It's for an annoying baritone playing it over and over just to bug you.
It's for evil instructors.
It's for going to dinner after games.
It's for arguments with the Football team about whether or not band is a sport.
It's for making fun of the announcers.
It's for playing "Crazy Train" during games, when you really aren't allowed to.
It's for nicknames.
It's for wearing your pajamas to early practices.
It's for driving your non- band friends nuts with nonstop band talk.
It's faking during your solo.
It's tripping over every rock.
It's for making weekly petitions to practice on a real field.
It's dancing to the percussion cadance.
It's for the adrenaline you feel while going through a run- through.
It's wearing shorts, a tshirt, and sneakers in October.
It's being stranded inside a school with your band director.
It's having friends for once.
It's for playing the stand tunes in the freezing cold 50 million times.
It's for a cell phone ALWAYS ringing while you're at attention.
It's being the newbies.
It's always being the last person to get on the bus.
It's for tormenting the cheerleaders at games.
It's marching everywhere.
It's wearing your Dinkles everywhere you go.
It's for forgetting your uniform.
It’s for forgetting your instrument/mouthpiece.
It's for the evil gauntlets.
It's for the lucky brass players, because they get fingers on their gloves.
It's for throwing people in trash cans.
It’s for being SHANKED!
It's for trying to kill Dr. Beat.
It's singing songs on the Band Bus.
It's for watching the band slideshow.
It's for hanging out with the hardcore people.
And the band family tree!!!
It's for parents.
It's for obsessions.
It's for being excited about seeing a marching band for the first time in your life.
It's for the first day of band.
And being lost for over an hour on that day.
It's for muttering about how awful people did with their shows.
It's basics for an hour.
It's for screaming contests.
It's your fear of the instructors.
It's for inter- band dating.
It's for the freshman's handshake
It's for chocolate withdrawal.
It’s for almost fainting during Band Camp.
Then being depressed when camp is over.
And most of all...
Band is for music, family, and friends!

If you have not heard by now...or I have not told you. I lost my camera way back in November the night of the last band competition. I have yet to find it or traces of it... and it had some really good pictures of my best friends too. anyway I am in search of a new camera, but this time it is gonna be a video camera, since that is what i was using my digital camera for anyway.

I am gonna start working on my first major film project come the start of band season. I have found my passion which is film and I want to stick it through. I am going to make my first project a documentary. It is gonna be about the marching band and I hope that it turns out great. I have a alot of idea but I need some ideas on some stuff so if you have any idea of things that would work then send them my way and I will give you credit.


well That is pretty much it. I really have nothing interesting happening in my life except the fact that I graduated but that is nothing big. It's just the closing of one chapter of my life and the beginning to a whole new life. that's all.


Yeah I am not ready for the real world.


Well I have to go finish somethings.


until next time


Much love
