This week has been so hectic. It was my first week of high school. I know, right? Scary. I was totally freaking out before hand but you know once I was there I was cool. I was mostly nervous that I was going to be late to class because my new school has a policy that if you are late to class then you get kicked out and you miss it. It is not good to miss any school because it is hard to catch up.
Well my first hour is Pilates. So far we have dressed out only two days and I am already sore. My stomach and thighs are aching. It is a hard class. And I hate that I have it first hour because I sweat like a
Thursday we ran 3 ½ minutes in the gym then we stretched and then we went outside and ran three laps up the ramp, across the building, then down the ramp and around again. It was the size of a medium sized building. And we had to jog it. Then we went back into the gym and did a bunch of squats. And then of course we went outside and ran up the ramp, across the building, down the ramp and around a big building. We did that twice and then we went back into the locker rooms to get dressed for our next class.
Friday was the hard day for me. I mean I hate running but when you get down on a mat and working our whole body as much as possible is tough. We were mainly working our core so my stomach is pretty tired for holding a crunch for an hour. I know this class is going to get harder and harder but I want to take it so that I can get into shape to try out for softball next semester.
My second hour is English. I love this class so far. My teacher is also the drama teacher so she is pretty enthusiastic and fun. I love this class because I am not friends with one single girl in there. I mean that sounds bad but it is just me and a bunch of my guy friends so there is no drama. I doubt I will make any girl friends in there because I will be with the guys the whole time and girls do not like that. But I don’t care.
My third hour is Spanish III. I am so nervous about this class. I already asked my parents to help me study every night because I am bad at Spanish. I do not want to do bad in this class. I really want to be bilingual but I am awful at speaking and understanding and those are the most important things you need to know! My teacher seems like he is willing to slow down for people who are having a hard time, so that is good.
My forth hour is study hall. I took this class because of how hard Spanish III is going to be. I wanted an hour in the day to be able to study and work on homework. This is the class I have already made a friend in. Her name is Kym. She is pretty cool and funny. Study hall has been pretty fun so far.
My fifth hour is Geometry. I didn’t do so well in Algebra last year, so I hope I will do good in geometry. My teacher is super funny. He made me crack up on Wednesday and Friday. He was telling us stories because we are already ahead of his other geometry classes. He wants them to be at the same pace so he was wasting some time. He is cool and it seems like an easy class.
My sixth hour is Biology. So far I do not care for it. I mean I like the people who are in it, but I do not like my teacher. She acts like she owns us and can keep us after the bell. Gosh, my last sixth hour teacher did that to us and I hated her the whole year. This teacher like the exact same way.
So far I am liking school. No serious homework yet, so everything is going smoothly. I think I will make lots of friends and have a fun year! Which is what I was hoping for.
Posted on July 26th, 2008 in Katy Perry by Tatertot
I just finished listening to Katy Perry’s entire new c.d. called “One Of The Boys”. And I gotta say it is a great c.d. I mean of course it has it’s ups and downs but over all I liked all the songs.
My favorite songs of hers are “I Kissed A Girl”, “Hot N’ Cold”, and “Waking Up in Vegas”. I think all those songs are super funny and most importantly fun to listen to. I always dance and jump around when I hear “I Kissed A Girl” and I am always singing to myself in the mirror when I hear “Hot N’ Cold”. I think Katy Perry does an excellent job providing fun songs for any audience.
Some of her weaker songs are “Ur So Gay”, “Mannequin” and “Lost”. I thought “Ur So Gay” was a worthless song. I mean not fun to listen to, not good… anything. Some people may even find it offensive. “Mannequin” was just an extremely boring song. I was interested into this song at all. “Lost” was the worst song on the c.d. because of the music and the singing. I didn’t care for her singing and the music was boring. They didn’t go together.
But over all I love Katy Perry and I think she is an amazing singer. She proved it with “I Kissed A Girl”. So I hope she keeps up the good work and hopefully she doesn’t just sing what people write for her. I hope she sings that are her and that she likes because if she likes it then her audience (me) will like it too.
After a long and difficult debate with myself. I have decided to move my music writing to another site. It is called http://clucked.com. I decided to do this because I was starting not to like this blog anymore and I wanted my writing to look more professional and better. I can’t continue doing song of the day because the writing is going to be longer and better over there, and it takes too long to do one everyday but I will try and do a post on a song or an artist as often as possible. And Clucked has a lot more music videos and songs to listen to. I already love it.
I will try and continue doing my diary here on 2011grad. Although nothing really is going on since it is summer. Which is just whizzing by unfortunately.
Okay, so you know I am in Spanish 2! It is a super hard class, and I am not good at Spanish. But last week we had our speaking and writing final. I think I did just okay on the writing final, she hasn’t told us yet. But I got an 18/20 on my speaking final! I was so shocked! Because I was stammering and I was forgetting what to say. Well it seemed that I wasn’t doing that well but I guess I was because I got a 90%! I am so happy! Nothing can bring me down.
Well something can bring me down. And it is bringing me down. I have a D in math this quarter. I hate myself for it too. I am disappointed with myself. I mean I did all my homework but I do really bad on test in that class. I need a 78% on the final to get a C for the semester. I can do it! I hope. Because I will be really sad. I just kept saying that I had time to bring my grade up. But I didn’t have time. I ran out of time just too fast. My mom even offered me to get tutored. I should have, because I really don’t want to get a D. I don’t want to go to tutoring and I really don’t think I need it, but I needed to practice more. When we are doing problems in class I do excellent! I know how to do it, but I forget all the time! So I am going to study really hard for this final.
Wow.. You’ve missed a lot. Okay so.. two Tuesdays ago, I had my last band concert… ever! My parents are disappointed that I don’t want to do band anymore in high school. But I have been playing the clarinet for five years! I just don’t like it anymore. I like the final product at the concerts but not working to get there. Plus, in the high school I am going to, the main band is the marching band. I absolutely do not want to be in marching band for many reasons. For one, you have to get to the school at 6 A.M! Are they insane? No. Not doing it. Not only do you have to go in early but you have to stay late. I don’t know how late but probably till 6 a couple nights a week. Nope! Not doing that either. Plus, if I go into a concert band, nobody cares about concert bands there. Marching band is the only band they care about and I don’t want to be in marching band.
A couple weekends ago I went to Relay For Life which is where you walk as much as you can for people who have died of cancer or who are surviving cancer. The reason why I was there was because my Nana’s work donated some money, and my nana wanted to go. So I said I would go and help out. It went from 6 P.M to 6 A.M on a Saturday. I walked maybe 8-10 miles. I was there with my Nana and my sister, Kelsey. We also sold bracelets and Italian soda, which all went to cancer research. I got to play DDR (dance dance revolution) which was cool. Haven’t played it in awhile. I had a lot of fun. I didn’t think it was going to be so much fun but it was. I can’t wait till next year.
My dad cancelled our cell phone service. No I didn’t get in trouble! I’m a good kid. Which really stinks because I use my phone for everything. As a camera, a phone, a mp3 player, my alarm clock, my calendar.. Everything. We will get new ones when school starts again. Hopefully.
Ninth grade formal!!! Formal was a dance at my school , everybody calls it formal because you had to dress up real nice. The weekend before (the day of Relay for Life) I went to the mall with my friend Kashawna, to get my dress. I ended up getting it at Macys for only 55 dollars. When I went up to the cash register I thought it was going to be 70 dollars, but this real nice lady gave me 20% off. My dress was purple with a bow right around my torso and it was about knee length. It was a gorgeous dress. I was happy I found it. Although this other girl named Taylor! (Haha) Showed up with the same dress! But her’s was pink! thankfully. Little dress stealer.
My friend Amal (Girl) invited me to go out to dinner, with some other people just before going to formal. Because formal was from 7:30 till 9:30. So we could eat right before formal. Sounded like a good plan but we just needed to actually make the plan. Like where to eat, who to invite, etc. I was getting so excited the week of formal. But I really needed to make the final decisions with Amal. So Thursday rolls around and Amal is absent from school! I don’t have a phone so I can’t call or text her to see what’s going on. So the next day, Friday, (DAY BEFORE FORMAL) I am nervous that Amal won’t show up at school. If you aren’t at school for at least four hours the day before the event than you can’t go! So if Amal doesn’t show up, she can’t go to formal and I don’t have a date. I have lunch with her, and at first I can’t find her anywhere. She usually comes up to me while I am in line for lunch but she hadn’t. ten minutes into lunch and she still isn’t there! I start freaking out! But then she came, finally! I ran up to her, gave her a hug, and said we needed to figure something out! Then she tells me that she wasn’t planning on going to formal, at all. She made a new plan to go to Mariah’s for the people who aren’t going to formal. I was so mad! She invited me to this, and she is flaking on me. That’s messed up. The day before! But somehow I knew that she would do that to me.
I didn’t want to show up at formal all by myself so I asked Kashawna if she wanted to go out to dinner and then go to formal since she didn’t have plans either. I think I had more fun with Kashawna than I would have had with Amal. Her sister picked me up at my house and my dad paid for our dinner at Applebees. (He is the best) we got to formal like 15 minutes late, and already there were a lot of people there. I took pictures with Kashawna and my other friend Ana. The came out just okay. I wanted to take more pictures but they closed the photo thing early. I was pretty sad. But I was having so much fun! Then, guess who shows up!! Amal! I didn’t say anything mean to her, I just gave her a hug and said hi. I was really upset, because not only did she show up but she came with a friend. Whatever, she said she wasn’t planning on going but her friend showed up at her house. I don’t care. I mean I believe her, because she has never lied to me. It just makes me mad. I don’t act mad because it is just not worth it, to get mad with one more week of school.
Besides all that drama I had so much fun! It was great! Kind of he last thing as a ninth grader! Ohh.. Just saying that makes me nervous. I had so much fun at formal. It was great. A blast!
This is the most disgusting thing I have seen in my entire life! How on earth can people do this to their feet, or their bodies. It must have been super painful! People actually do this?!!? It is amazing the different cultures and how different people are. Nobody I know would ever think of doing stuff like this, but I bet it is really popular wherever that lady is. Oh my goodness. Yikes. I can’t stop looking at it. It just doesn’t seem real.
I didn’t really like the song “Tim McGraw” by Taylor Swift because I thought it was boring and simple. Plus it is super country. But I really like the music video and so now I like the song a little bit. I didn’t like the reference to Tim McGraw but than I realized you can replace “Tim McGraw” with something else and it is a super cute song. Taylor Swift is a great singer! This is a good song to show off her talents. My sister bought this song a long time ago, so I downloaded her songs on my Ipod, but I never listened to this song. But when I heard “Teardrops On My Guitar” I thought I would give this song a chance and it isn’t one of my favorites. But it isn’t bad. Just nothing too special about the song. It has a cute idea though.
Love,
Tayler!
Here are the lyrics for “Tim McGraw”:
He said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: “That’s a lie.”
Just a boy in a Chevy truck
That had a tendency of gettin’ stuck
On backroads at night
And I was right there beside him all summer long
And then the time we woke up to find that summer gone
But when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
September saw a month of tears
And thankin’ God that you weren’t here
To see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed
Is a letter that you never read
From three summers back
It’s hard not to find it all a little bitter sweet
And lookin’ back on all of that, it’s nice to believe
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
And I’m back for the first time since then
I’m standin’ on your street
And there’s a letter left on your doorstep
And the first thing that you’ll read is:
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
Someday you’ll turn your radio on
I hope it takes you back to that place
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
Oh, think of me
Mmmm
He said the way my blues eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: “That’s a lie”
“Too Close For comfort” by Mcfly is such an awesome song. It is about a guy getting too close to a girl and she starts to push him away. I like because it is like the opposites of what normally happens. But there are parts I don’t like too much like the beginning when Tom talks really fast and at the end where is turns in to a rock song. But maybe that is a good thing because it adds a little difference or flavor to the song. But you don’t expect it to get all rock because it starts out so slow and cute. I really love the chorus, it is the best part of the song. I also like Danny’s singing part, he is still my favorite. This is one of the songs in the movie Just My Luck. I loved it in the movie but I didn’t know what song it was because they only played a little clip of it. But it sounded so awesome in the movie. It is a great song.
Love,
Tayler!
Here are the lyrics for “Too Close For Comfort”:
I never meant the things I said
To make you cry
Can I say I’m sorry
It’s hard to forget
And yes I regret
All these mistakes
I don’t know why you’re leaving Me
But I know you must have your reasons
There’s tears in your eyes
I watch as you cry
But it’s getting late
Was I invading in on your secrets
Was I too close for comfort
You’re pushing me out
When I’m wanting in
What was I just about to discover
When I got too close for comfort
Driving you home
Guess I’ll never know
Remember when we scratched our names into the sand
And told me you loved me
But now that I find
That you’ve changed your mind
I’m lost for words
And everything I feel for you
I wrote down on one piece of paper
The one in your hand
You won’t understand
How much it hurts to let you go
Was I invading in on your secrets
Was I too close for comfort
You’re pushing me out
When I’m wanting in
What was I just about to discover
I got too close for comfort
Driving you home
Guess I’ll never know
All this time you’ve been telling me lies
Hidden in bags that are under your eyes
And when I asked you I knew I was right
But if you turn your back on me now
When I need you most
But you chose to let me down
Won’t you think about what you’re about to do to me
And back down…
Was I invading in on your secrets
Was I too close for comfort
You’re pushing me out
When I’m wanting in
What was I just about to discover
I got too close for comfort
You’re pushing me out
When I’m wanting in
(Yeh yeh yeh)
What was I just about to discover
When I got too close for comfort
Driving you home
I guess I’ll never know…
One song that I like from Ashlee Simpson’s new c.d. (Bittersweet World) is “Little Miss Obsessive” featuring Tom Higgenson. At first I was like who the heck is Tom Higgenson but I searched his name and I realized he is from Plain White Tees (another cool band). I think this song should be called “Over” because she says over a lot. I read somewhere that this was her 1st single for her c.d. (Bittersweet World). But I didn’t hear on the radio or anything. The only single I heard was “Outta My Head”. I had to search her name on Itunes to find this song. I really like it! The more I listen to it, the more I like it. This is the first song I heard her do a song with someone else. So that is pretty cool. She sounds awesome. I have always liked her music. It’s a good song.
Love,
Tayler!
Here are the lyrics for “Little Miss Obsessive”:
Woah, Woah, (the side of your bed is still mine)
Woah, Woah, (the side of your bed is still mine)
Am I the reason why you tossed and turned last night?
Everything’s such a blur, it didn’t come out right.
All of the sudden it’s cold and we’re falling apart.
No this can’t be, please don’t leave me alone in the dark.
And I guess we’re really over, so come over, i’m not over it.
And I guess we’re really over, so come over, i’m not over it.
Late night you make me feel like i’m desperate, I’m not desperate.
Oh, a little bit possessive, little miss obsessive, can’t get over it.
Woah, Woah,(the side of your bed is still mine)
Woah, Woah,(the side of your bed is still mine)
I’ve never been a fan of long good-byes.
I’m at the finish line and you’re just way too far behind.
In the morning I got in a fight with myself, I got the bruises to prove it.
Then I swallowed your words and spit them right back out.
And I guess we’re really over, so come over, i’m not over it.
And I guess we’re really over, so come over, i’m not over it.
Late night you make me feel like i’m desperate, I’m not desperate.
Oh, a little bit possessive, little miss obsessive, can’t get over it.
No.
It’s like a fairy tale without a happy ending (happy ending).
But then again maybe we are just pretending.
Why does it have to be so unfair?
Tell me that you care.
And I guess we’re really over, but come over, i’m not over it.
And I guess we’re really over, so come over, i’m not over it, oh.
Little miss (Woah), little miss (Woah), little miss Woah), little miss obsessive.
Little miss (Woah), little miss (Woah), little miss Woah), little miss obsessive.
Late night you make me feel like i’m desperate, I’m not desperate.
Oh, a little bit possessive, little miss obsessive, can’t get over it.
Woah, Woah, (the side of your bed is still mine)
Woah, Woah, (the side of your bed is still mine)
Rihanna came out with a new song called “Take A Bow”. I am not sure what I think of it yet. I like it but it is kind of boring. I mean she sings good but she is more talking than singing. I like the idea of it! I like the lyrics but it is boring. I hate the music video. She acts tough in it, but she just doesn’t seem like that. Like she lifts up her lip, sort of like a growl, and it just is weird. She also points to the camera like to tell the guy off. And it doesn’t seem natural. But she looks pretty in the music video. It is the first time that I thought her new haircut looked good. But I don’t think she looks good with the red red lipstick on. I didn’t like right at the beginning because she sand two lines then started doing that “ooo ohh eh eh eh ya ya ya” stuff. And now ever since “Umbrella” it seems that she sings that in every song. Its annoying. But she didn’t do that in the rest of the song so that’s good. So.. It is an O.K. song but it has it’s moments, that make me not really like it.
Love,
Tayler!
Here are the lyrics for “Take A Bow”:
Oh, How about a round of applause, Yeah
A standing ovation
Oooooo, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
You look so dumb right now
Standing outside my house
Trying to apologize
You’re so ugly when you cry
Please, just cut it out
[Chorus]
Don’t tell me you’re sorry cuz you’re not
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
You really had me going
But now it’s time to go
Curtain’s finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it’s over now (But it’s over now)
Go on and take a bow
Grab your clothes and get gone (get gone)
You better hurry up
Before the sprinklers come on (come on)
Talkin’ bout’
Girl, I love you, you’re the one
This just looks like a re-run
Please, what else is on (on)
[Chorus]
And don’t tell me you’re sorry cuz you’re not
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
You really had me going
But now it’s time to go
Curtain’s finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it’s over now (But it’s over now)
Go on and take a bow
[Bridge]
Oh, And the award for
The best lie goes to you (goes to you)
For making me believe (that you)
That you could be faithful to me
Let’s hear your speech, Out
How about a round of applause
A standing ovation
But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
Now it’s time to go
Curtain’s finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it’s over now (But it’s over now)
Go on and take a bow
But it’s over now
