My Chemical Romance Exclusive Interview

❒pretty ❒beautiful ✔keep it ugly

"Don't ever let the media tell you what to look like. You're beautiful the way you are. Stay beautiful, keep it ugly." - Gerard Way

 So today I was on Facebook and I looked at my Causes Profile (which I haven't done in forever) and I saw a note on there. And I'm like "Yay! A note!"

 Then I actually read it and I'm like, "Stalker!"

 Some lady posted on there, and it was creepy.
 She put: 

Hello,
How are you today? I hope you are fine. My name is Miss Diana xxxxxx,
i saw your profile at www.causes.com. and became interested in you,i will also like to know more about you, and if you send an email to my email box I will send you my picture and you will know more about me. please send it directly to my box.
 ~~~~~
 Right...Ummm, how about no?

 So yeah. I will not be sending anything directly to her box or her for that matter. And I won't be looking out my window at night for fear of this looking back at me:

 Anyway, today was the first day back in school. Spring Break is *sob* over.

                      R.I.P. SPRING BREAK 2011 
                  YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED
 But nothing lasts forever. It was a nice Spring Break, though. 
 In World History, I hope Mr. Curtis shows the whole movie, Monty Python. 

  I can't wait until gym is over. I am not 

1.  Athletic
2. Coordinated
3. Graceful
4. Good at Running/Sports

  List Of Possible Careers

• Musician
• Nurse 
• Athlete 
• Facebook Stalker 

   *Sigh* 

 I have come to the conclusion that I am a socially awkward person (Not that this is news to any of you). The other day I stepped outside to check and see what the weather was like. Of course, the mail man is walking up with our mail. I'm thinking 'Ooooh, mail!' and I wave at him with my goober face like:

  And he's just like:

  So I run back inside the house all *facepalm* and saying "I'm such a moron!"

 Then, these guys from a church are going around the neighborhood inviting people to their church. Mom runs into her room and tells me to get the door because she's still in her polka dot pajamas. 
 They say hi and keep talking to me, but I get distracted REALLY easily. So I'm just nodding, and then I look over and I realize they asked me which church I go to. They're just staring at me with these freaked out smiles so I go "HIGHER PRAISE!" really quick.


 I might as well have a shirt that says 'Dork' on the front of it...*looks in closet* Oh, look I do! (Not really.)


 You know, I just realized how long it's been since I've fallen down the stairs at school. It's only a matter of time.

 

But it will be something to laugh at with my friends.

   I saw something on this really funny blog (http://raeraerewind.tumblr.com/page/61). 

 

When people actually try to flirt with me:

They come up to me all:

 But I don’t realize what’s going on and just reply like: 

Yet they keep flirting:

While I’m just like what is going on:

  

 

  That about sums it up. 

 Well, that's pretty much it. Bye!

 

Music, Movies, and Beastly Dancing

 Hello there! Remember in the last blog post where I told you I was going to Richmond with my grandma? 
 No?
 Oh...well anyway, first she took us to see Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules. Cody and I were the only teenagers there (but we had Jon and Mammaw Judy so we had an excuse). The rest were parents taking their little kids. 
 But I have to say, the movie was hilarious. Greg's mom reminded me of my mom. I had to control myself from crying because I was laughing so hard.
 Mammaw Judy kind of liked it, but throughout the whole movie she kept commenting about Rodrick. "Look at how he drives!" "You'll never drive like that will you?" (Only on the weekends...) "Why is he wearing mascara?" 
 Quite entertaining (the movie and my grandma). After the movie, we went to Kohls. Cody and Jon got some stuff, and I found some clothes I liked, but Mammaw said that it looked like hooker clothes...right.
 While we were in there, "Baby" by Justin Beaver came on. At first Jon and I were covering our ears and moaning in pain. But then he looked at me and started singing "Beastly, Beastly, Beastly, oh!" So we both started singing and doing some awesome dance moves and people around us were just like:

 Then we went into the mall. Mammaw picked out some things that I had to decline on...

 I found some awesomely amazing things...But she didn't like them. We finally agreed on a shirt. 
    While we were in the mall, we were starting to go past hot topic and I looked at Mammaw all puppy dog.

 But Mammaw looked over, saw it, made a face: 

  

  And she told me to keep walking.











 But I'm proud of her because after we went past again, she let me go in. AND...she came with me (and walked right back out but we were making progress).
 Anyway, after that we went to steak N' Shake....Amazing food? Definitely.
And, I got to wear an awesome hat (that they probably thought was for Jon).

 So, we had a good time. BUT NOW THERE'S ONLY TWO DAYS UNTIL SPRING BREAK IS OVER NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 *five hours later*
 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

 ...Sorry about that...

 Ray Toro from My Chemical Romance posted that he was going to do this thing for Japan where you can post a video, photo, or your artwork with the tag #SINGItForJapan and they're going to post a new version of Sing. All the money will go to Japan, which is really neat. http://www.mychemicalromance.com/SINGItForJapan
 I finished my drawing today. I had to look up some pictures on Google of the tsunami and I almost cried. It's horrible.

  So now I'm going to work on a super secret project for...something coming up in April...not a birthday *cough* Mom *cough* or anything...hehe.
Well...I think that's about it. I'm going to enjoy the rest of my Spring Break :)

I Always Knew My Cat Was A Robot

 "Get it! Get it!" Now, if some random person was in our house and heard Mom scream that, they would probably call the police/run and see what was happening...BUT...our family knows better.

 I came calmly (and laughing a little) walking out on the porch to see what was happening. I saw Dad laughing and making the "crazy" gesture at Mom. (You know, the one where you point your finger at your head and move the finger in circles). Apparently, this small spider floated by her and she started freaking out. Oh, Mom. 

Now I'm not saying I wouldn't scream bloody murder even if a baby spider came remotely close to me (trust me, I would). 

 Awwww....family. 

  Anyway, I think it was yesterday when Mom, Cody, Jon and I went out for a bike ride and then for a walk. Mom decided to take some pictures...

Our "serious" pose

Rebel!

 








 I was on my computer on Monday, and I started hearing this "thunk" sound outside. After running to look out a window, I saw on that beautiful, warm day...hail. I'm proud of myself because I resisted the urge to run around screaming, "It's the end of the world!!!!" 

Mom's hand

Back porch

We got some good pictures

   I'm sure you've seen the title on this post. About that...I took a picture of my cat and....Well, it's easier to show you.

Point proven? I think so.

 Mom and Dad took us to the Golden Corral and it was, in one word....

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!  

                                       *Can I get a whoop, whoop for awesomely amazing food?*

 

   Luckily, I didn't stuff my face until I puked this time. We got to go to the mall and I got some stuff at Hot Topic (my favorite store).

 

A lot of people say Hot Topic "sold out" but I still like it (once I get past the Justin Beaver shirts). I like it towards the back where they have the music t-shirts. I'm pretty much starting a collection. After today I now have....2! Yay. 

  Here's what I got : 

Shirt says it all.

  

Awesome glove

    

                       

 I'm going to wear both of those to school on Monday. You may say, "What?!? That's ridiculous!" I say, "No, 'tis not."

  Anyway, after that we went to Hastings. (The best book/music/comic/poster/stuff store in the world). Dad got a Shinedown  CD. 

"This record was written for the dreamers. For the people that have, in one way or another, been cut down or cast out of society for being different or having an opinion. It is an expression of insecurity and frustration, and yet, the will to overcome. There's no turning back now that you've opened up to your mind." -Shinedown

 That's one of the best quotes I've ever seen on a CD. Don't get me wrong, there's some others...like: 

"Real life is a funny thing, you know. In real life saying the right thing, at the right moment, is beyond crucial. So crucial in fact, that most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. But lately what I’ve began to fear more than that is letting the moment pass with saying anything.
I think you deserve to look back on your life without this chorus of resounding voices saying, "I could've but it’s too late now". There’s a time for silence, and there's a time for waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel, and you so clearly know what you need to say, you’ll know it. I don’t think you should wait. I think you should speak now." -Taylor Swift 

    I've come to think I will forever be pale. I mean, I go outside! I'm not trying to get a tan, it's just something I've noticed. 

 One of my friends even told me I needed to go outside. At first I said "Did you just call me fat?!?!?" But he told me I was pale and needed to get some sun. "Oh, ok. That's fine then."

  But, I'm fine with how I look. I've read in some *cough* book *cough* that pale people  attract vampires...but I don't know if it's true...

So...hehe

 

Mom and Dad said that Grandma's going to take us to see Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2 on Friday. I loved the first one (and so did Jon). I can't remember if Cody's seen it.

The book was good

So hopefully the movie is too.

 Then we're going to the mall (2nd time this week). I'm obviously not going to buy anything since I have no money left. I decided to get my stuff today since my grandma thinks Hot Topic is evil. The last time we came there she sat on the bench outside and shook her head at the Screamo music playing inside and the shirts that were on display, which probably wasn't the best for her to see since it was for the movie Kick "butt". (I don't cuss but you can probably figure out what goes in there.)

 Grandma probably won't let me go in Hot Topic so it's better that I got my stuff today. But she grew up in a different era, so I understand where she's coming from.

 You know what's awesome? 

 *Random dude* Unicorns!

 Yeah, but that's not what I'm talking about. I love swinging, especially at night. Last year, over the summer, I used to get freaked out over the bats that flew "close". But now, they're actually really interesting to watch. And I've learned that they're not going to fly down, attack me, and eat my face. I think I just have an over active imagination...

 But, speaking of unicorns-five minutes ago, anyway- I saw this book that I really want to read.

Zombies V.S. Unicorns

  I think that the school's library has it, so I'm excited :)

 Well, I think I'm done with this long blog post. I hope I didn't bore you too much. Bye!

Look Alive, Sunshine

 I have to say, I am in LOVE with Spring Break. We may not be going to Hawaii or California or wherever you Hipsters go these days, but I'm having a great time. 

 Today I went to church (I didn't realize how badly I need to go). I remember this quote: "Seven days without the Lord makes one weak." Completely true. And I found a really good bible verse. 

 1 John 3:2

Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

 Today, Dad took us for a walk out by this lake. I love it there. Halfway through, Mom and I were talking about something and Dad, Cody, and Jon decided to run off. Mom suggested we take the other way and beat them to the van. 

 Now when she said other way, she meant long way. My thinking was, 'Well, maybe if we run we can still beat them.' Uh, no. We ended up walking kind of fast because of Mom's "hip issue" but really because she had to pee. Let's just say, they beat us...

 I've been listening to a new CD I got. It's My Chemical Romance's Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. (But as I'm listening I realize 'No Joy Was Killed In The Making Of This CD'. At least not mine anyway. I love it. 

  

  I felt bad because I just listened to them on YouTube. I felt like a "Moocher". So I bought the CD cause these guys have to make a living too.

 

 I was hoping to get Just Dance (1) today but it wasn't in the video store. So we got a Michael Jackson dance thing. Not as fun as the Just Dance games though. (But that's because I don't like him). But dancing to the song Thriller was fun. 

Random Memories:   

 1. When I was in 7th grade the choir got to go to Cedar Point and me and my friend Jessica rode on the Mean Streak. I cried. (I tried not to but I thought I was going to die.)

 2. The Mean Streak is all right to get scared at, but Little Bill's Giggle Coaster is another thing. (Don't give me that look...Jon wanted to go on so I came to support him)... 

 All the little kids looked bored, but I almost screamed when the "bigger" parts came up. I think I embarrassed Jon. I guess I just don't like roller coasters. *random dude: Ya think?*

(Picture from last year, 14, but I think it's pretty cool)

     3.  BOO!

Well, I believe that's it for now. Goodnight 

                                                         
                                                                                   

Normal is Weird

 Well, Jessica went home a little bit ago...She's a crazy Hippie kid.We played Just Dance 2, drew on our feet, stuffed our faces with pizza. Pretty fun stuff right there.

 But I have to say....

 Welcome Spring Break!!!!

   I think when the bell rang for school to be over, kids around the world were crying for joy.

In Gym we had to run the track and I was so excited that I could do it in the six minute time period. Now, I can imagine you shaking your head and rolling your eyes, but let me tell you-I'm not athletic AT ALL. I used to crawl at the end and tell my friends to just leave me there.


 I finished the book I told you about (Somebody Everybody Listens To). Really, really good. I loved the quote from a song "If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold, I'd have all the riches my pockets would hold."

 Anyway, I really don't have that much to say today.  So...You should watch this video by Here Beneath The Stars and 'like' their page on Facebook, for those few (appreciated) readers!

They deserve a lot of fans, so get at 'em!

Have an awesomely amazing Friday!

  
Song: Drops of Jupiter by Train

Yeah, I'm a Little Crazy

 So, for the past few days at school (5th-7th periods) I've been having migraines. Now if you've never had a migraine, let me tell you strait up, they are horrible. Anyway, to get to the point of telling you that junk.

 I think it was Monday when I did a lab in Biology class with bacteria. So, ever since I've had these migraines, my imagination's been running wild. I keep thinking I was infected by this bacteria and any minute I'm going to be shooting spider webs out of my hands and turning green (excuse the Spider Man/Hulk thing) while the students run screaming out of the building. Crazy? Yes. But it could happen...You've read the comics. 

  So if you see this on the news, don't say I didn't warn you: 

 School today was pretty good. In Art we're doing these big letters that you get to design. Mine's an "M" (for my middle name, Mackenzie, if you didn't already know) and I've painted it black. There's going to be a green vine wrapping around all of it and then at some random point there's going to be either a purple or red rose. Right now I'm imagining some amazing "fit to be in a museum" artwork, with angels floating around it and a choir singing. It's weird that it never turns out that way, though...

 Anyway, in Gym I played Badminton. I had the most awesomest team in the world. I've grown up playing that game, and I can hit it over the net, so I liked this game. No running, physical exertion, or any need of coordination skills. My partner kept missing the birdie and it took her twenty times to finally hit it. I admired her determination, though. On the other side of the net we had a Michael Jackson impersonator (and he's good at it, too. Not that I liked Michael Jackson, though) and a boy who looked like he was busting a groove every time he went to return the birdie. But I think we all had fun :)

 I'm really excited because my friend's coming over tomorrow. She's going to steal all my pizza and force me to play video games!!! (Not really but we're gonna have a nifty time.)

 There's this thing that's been bugging me for a while. This guy that I talk to sometimes told me that he thinks people that are gay are inhuman. Now, while I don't agree with being gay, it actually made me a little mad that he said that. This is my opinion, but I think you can agree that what someone does is wrong, but you should NEVER look down on them because of that. I have a lot of friends that are gay, or bi, and when they told me, it didn't change a thing. They're still the same friend. 

 Sorry for my rant, I just needed to talk about that. 

Right now, American Idol's on. 

  

I really like James Durbin:

1. I love his style 
2. He's not afraid to wear a shirt that has the word "Freak" on it

 I also like Casey Abrams:

1. Great musician
2. He looks like a red-headed Santa Claus 
3. All he wants is for people to think he's "sexy" 
4. He's hilarious

 I just got back from Family Video and I got the game Just Dance...2! I think when Jessica comes over tomorrow we might make fools out of ourselves playing it...Sounds like fun!

 Anyway, with my luck, she'll be an awesome dancer and I'll be...not good...but we'll see. 

Well, I'll just leave you with this. Bye!

Things That Are Happening

 Hey guys. Today I finished an amazing book called The Catcher in the Rye. 

Here are some of the reasons I like it.

• Holden is definitely NOT normal- Kind of crazy, but in a good way.
• He tells about people as they really are, and it makes the book comical.
• It's not a cheesy or dramatic book with action and suspense and blabbitty blah blah blah. It's real.

So if you get a chance, this is a book worth reading.

   So now that I'm done with that book, I'm now reading something else that seems like it could be interesting. It's called Somebody Everybody Listens To by Suzanne Supplee.

            I always pick up a book if it has a guitar on it  ------->

 I'll tell you what I think about it when I finish reading. 

After this I'll probably read Walden by Thoreau. (Dad's been wanting me to read it).

I'm one of those people that judges a book by its cover (not metaphorically but literally). I really won't want to pick a book up if its cover isn't all that nifty or if I haven't heard anything about it. 

 I know, I know. I'm missing out on some good books, but that's just the way I am. Sue me. (For all of you out there that take things a little TOO literally, please don't really sue me. Please and thanks!)

 Anyway, that's enough with the book stuff. 

 In Gym, you would have thunk I'd have gotten used to get hit with the ball in any ball-related sports (basketball, football, etc.) And you would have thunk that I would be prepared for it. But still, as I was getting my jersey on for indoor soccer, smart old me thought that I would have the reflexes to ninja kick the ball away whenever it came at me....WRONG! The ball hit me in the neck and the arm and, let's just say, I was a nervous wreck.

 I am not, in any way, someone you would call athletic. Or graceful, for that matter. Here's a picture to describe me.

 There's a reason my parents didn't name me Grace. Really, it's a wonder I'm able to make it through the day without causing some disaster.  If you see me anywhere, duck and cover...Just duck and cover.

  

          Anyway-

 Three more days until Spring Break...I'm so excited! Mom and Dad said that they're taking us to Golden Corral (the best buffet in the world-just saying). The best part about Spring Break is sleeping in. Not all day (that seems like wasting time when there's so much else to do) but sleeping in past six at least (darn you school!).

  So, I don't know if you know this, but I love to draw. I haven't in a while, though. But here's one of my favorites I've done: 

The title is from Sixx A.M.'s Dead Man's Ballet.

The picture is from My Chemical Romance's video, Helena. 

The thing is, I really can only draw something if I'm looking at it. I need a basic idea of what I'm doing, but then I just add on what I like. 

I'll show you more drawings next time. :)

  Well, that was a pretty long blog. Wish I could keep going but it's almost my bed-time. Night!
