RECALL!

I need to take something back that I said earlier! I didn't check all of my posts, and it turns out that I actually have 2 readers! Thanks, Courtney!

Save the Flock, Save the World

Ok, so now I'm really going to post something for today. (Spoiler alert! Do not read unless you have read MR3!!)
I finished MR3 last night! I was sooooooo sad when Ari died!! I always knew that he would be good in the end. But the part about Dr. Martinez being Max's mom kinda surprised me. But I figured that Jeb was her dad. Everything is saying that this is the last book, but it's not. Thanks to all of the clicks on the website (www.maximumride.com) there is going to be a fourth one. But it's probably not coming out until later next year.
In the meantime, I've come up with a summer reading list. Some of them are already out, some are coming out this summer:
An Abundance of Katherines (John Green)
City of Bones
The Truth About Forever (Sarah Dessen)
The Black Tattoo (Sam Enthoven)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows (duh!!)
Eclipse (Stephenie Meyer)
Bass Ackwards And Belly Up
Pants on Fire (Meg Cabot)
The Dead of Night
A Killing Frost
Darkness Be My Friend (this one and the two above are the 2, 3, and 4th in a series and I can't rember the author's name)
Dracula (Bram Stroker)

And a bunch more, I'm sure. Plus, I have to work a lot on my story too. My dad got all sappy last night and asked me why I never let him read any of the things that I write. I just said that they weren't finished. (which is mostly true anyway) But really, how embarrassing would it be if my dad read how I was writing out the feelings of two characters in love? I guess that I should get over it because he's going to read it anyway if any of them ever get published, but still... I'd much rather wait until that happens. Then I can be bombarded with everyone reading it all at once. Until then, the only people who are allowed to read any of my stories are my two best friends, MM and SW. I hope that they actually start acting like friends and start posting on my blog, or at least start reading my blog!!

BTW: Any Max fans out there need to spread the word that the Max Ride blog has been nominated for the best blog of all time on blogger. We need to vote, people! We need to help the flock!! Oh, and you need to start clicking a massive amount on the max ride website. We're up to over 4 million clicks, but we still need 1 million more to get the message to hollywood that we want max and the gang to be made into movie characters!!!!! (My vote for Iggy is Jason Dolley. I'll try to get a picture of him posted soon!)

--D
PS. What do you think of my new format? I like this better than the pink stuff!

One Reader. I'm going to cry....

I just found out that there is only one person out there in the entire cyber world who is reading my blog. After I take all of that time to post, risking getting detention for posting in class, only one person reads it!
So, thank you, .::NudgeTwin::. (I hope that I got all of the dots right...) for reading this blog!
If anyone decides to read this, you should check out her blog too. It's pretty cool!!!

Pirates, Talking Dogs, and Flying Kids, oh my!!!!!

Ohyeah!! I am gonna have a lot to post about today!! (WARNING: DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY SEEN PIRATES 3 OR READ MORE THAN HALF OF MAX RIDE 3!!!!!!!!!!!)
First off, I just saw Pirates 3 on Monday (memorial day). It rocked!!! I was really worried that it wouldn't be good because the second one sucked, but it was good!! It wasn't as good as the first one, but few sequels ever are, so I guess that compared to some other things, it was great!!! I was really sad about how Will and Elizabeth can only see each other every ten years though. Speaking of Will, did Orly Bloom not look absolutely GORGEOUS when he was suddenly the captain of the Flying Dutchman? With that pirate bandana and outfit? I thought that I was going to faint in the theatre. I kinda got comfused by the whole maelstrom (spelling?) thing though. How did the ships not sink? Oh well. That's just a technicality.
And, the best part, MR3 CAME OUT YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to a bookstore in town after school to get it!!! I am already half of the way through it. I so knew that Max and Fang would become a couple! It was totally inevitable!!! But I am really pissed that the flock split up. It's become sorta like the battle of the sexes (well, plus Ari on the girls' team). But I think that everything is going to be ok in the end. Fang will come and meet up with the rest of the flock. I hope. (Nah, I already read ahead. The tension is completely gone for me, but I can at least pretend to be excited!)
I g2g. People coming!

Amy Ain't So Bad

Have you seen the Max Ride commercial? I know that I said that I thought that Amy's auditions sucked, but she ROCKED in the commercial! I can't wait until it starts airing on TV. Anyone who hasn't seen it yet should check it out: www.maximumride.com, It should automatically take you to the clip.
Oh, yeah, and I started a new blog. I talked about Twilight so much on here that I decided to start a blog just for it. It's called La Tua Cantante. the URL is www.tuacantante.blogspot.com, I only have one post and no "extras" posted as of right now, but I'm getting there.
The weather is being so bipolar right now. This morning it was raining, then it was warm, then it was just raining again ten minutes ago, and now it's sunny again. Ah, the beauty of living in Montana. You always have to have a sweatshirt and a tank top with you because that's how often the weather changes. But I love it (i'm lying!!!)
I'm pretty bored. I'm at home (no, not at school!!!), posting to cyber people who for some wierd reason actually enjoy reading my blog, and I'm listening to 96.3 the Blaze and 98.7 Star fm back and forth. I really like 96.3 more because it plays nothing but rock. 98.7 plays some rock, but it also plays a lot of rap and I CAN'T STAND RAP!!! So, I switch back and forth.
Speaking of rock and rap, I've never heard a song by the band/ group Gym Class Heroes. Can anyone tell me if they are rap or rock before I go out and buy the CD? I DO NOT want to end up buying a rap CD and have to give it to my sister. Because then she'll listen to it! I'll have to put up with it!!! Yuck!!!
My parents let me skip the first two periods of the day today so that I could sleep in. And yet, I'm still exhausted. I must be getting sick. But I got to miss PE, so that's perfectly ok. And I get to miss it again on Friday because I'm leaving to go see my cousin pitch for her team in the state softball finals. I'm not going to see my school compete, but I'm going to go see my cousin's. My cousin is, like, a locally famous pitcher. She is soooo good. That's one of the reasons that I don't want to play. People will look at her wonderfulness and then at my mediocracy and wonder "where did she miss out in the gene pool?" I know that a girl at my school named K.N. did. I told her who my cousin was and she was shocked. She couldn't believe that I was related to M.H. It was pretty insulting.
Speaking of insulting, do you want to know what bugs me (if you don't, you can go away, because I'm going to say what it is anyway!)? I used to show people pictures of my older sister, right. She's actually my half sister. We have the same mom, but not the same dad. Anyway, I look like my grandma on my mom's side, but I have my dad's eyes and hair. My sister looks almost exactly like my mom. Anyway, I used to show people pictures of her and they would say "Oh, my gosh! Your sister is so pretty! You look NOTHING like her!" What is that supposed to mean? Needless to say, I stopped flaunting pictures of her. But my friends still said that when they met her this fall.
Anyway (man, I love that word!!) I've ranted long enough. I'll probably post again tomorrow on here and on my new blog during computer applications class while we're supposed to be on this stupid career website, so I'll be in touch!!

Acadamia Mania!

Yesterday at our school were the academic awards (sorry I didn't write about them yesterday!) What that basically means for us freshmen is maybe getting 2 awards (which I did for english and high honor roll) and sitting on hard, wooden bleachers for 75 minutes watching all of the seniors and juniors get recognised for their achievements. And remember how I am on the yearbook staff, well, I'm being excused from my computer class to work on the pages for the awards. I don't even have any pictures yet but I have to get the layout all ready and get the awards typed up. It's extremely fun having to write L.M., A.S., and B.P.'s names over and over again.
The only reason that I'm really doing this whole yearbook thing is because it looks good on a college application, and I need every drop of scholarship money I can get if I want to go to Bard. Even so, it's not worth it. This is my first and last year on the yearbook staff.
Anyway, I said that I won an english award, didn't I... yes, I did. I was so happy!! That was the only award that I really really wanted. I am a writer after all. I could have gotten the academic excellence award (the only one in the freshmen class who would have) but I got a B+ in business machines in the first quarter of the school year. I got an A for the semester, but they went by quarters. What jerks!!
I am so glad that it is Friday. I get to go shopping for summer clothes tomorrow! I'm supposed to come in and work on yearbook, but that blows the big one, so I'm skipping and getting some cute skirts instead.
But I'm also going to have to spend time on my slow as molasses computer this weekend too. I have to do research for this teraforming project that we are doing in Earth Science. We have to make a power point project and a report on how we would terraform another planet or moon in our solar system. My group is doing Saturn's satelite, Titan. You wouldn't believe how incredibly boring it is at the moment. But I think that it could be fun. We just have to give it a chance..... (note the sarcasm there, people)
I g2g. I'm going to get carpal tunnel if I keep typing in this every day!!

Guess what! Today I'm not posting in class! Well, I'm still at school, but it's afterwords and I'm technically supposed to be working on the yearbook... oh well. In the class that I usually post in, we went out for ice cream instead. We had to walk about an hour in 87 degree weather, but we got ice cream!! We were totally the Breakfast club while we were walking. There was our teacher, who is like the jock, a kid named P.L. (not giving out any of their names, sorry!), who is sort of a dork, a kid named N.W. who is sort of a rebel, a girl named O.C. who is definitely the pretty, popular girl, and then there was me, Dana, who was like the quiet, sort of freaky girl, but you guessed that already, didn't you.
I didn't post any new pictures today because I'm trying to figure out which ones I should take off first. My blog is starting to look a little bit cluttered. I've posted a few playlists off to the side for some of my favorite books. Some of the songs don't have anything to do with the plots or the people, but they remind me of them, so I put them there. For each song I wrote which character from the book's initial it is for next to it. One of the songs for New Moon is for Jacob, Bella, and Edward. I imagined them all singing it when I first heard it.
Remember that story that I said that I was writing? Well, I recently had a bit of writer's block with it, and I couldn't work on it for a while. Then, today in Algebra an idea came to me and I started writing like crazy. I really want to post a playlist for it on here, but i can't think of too many songs that really have anything to do with it. I'll try to think of at least a couple. and if anyone wants to help me out with the playlists for the other books, you can post them on the comments.
I've got to go. The slave driver for the yearbook staff is coming!!!

MR3, Twilight Movie, Eclipse Proms, and Fruits Basket

My first line of business is to inform anyone (if there is anyone) reading this that if you go onto James Patterson's website (you can get the link at the bottom of my blog) you can read the prologue as well as the first few chapters of MR3. It sounds pretty darn cool if I do say so myself, and I DONT!! Oh, yeah! And people better start clicking on the MR website! I REALLY want those books to be movies. We still need like 1.5 million clicks to make it to 5million.
Speaking of movies, apparently the final negotiations are under way for the TWILIGHT movie! I nearly screamed in class (yes, I am in class again) when I read that! I think that I will faint the first time that I see a coming attraction for it. But Stephenie thinks that Billy Black (Jacob's dad) might not make it into the movie! That would make me exremely sad! I love Billy, even if he is sort of a jerk. He has good intentions.
And did any FURUBA (fruits basket) fans check out the picture that I posted? I googled 'fruits basket' on images and that was one of the things that popped up! I thought it all out, and if there are six chapters in every book and three books come out each year, and the last chapter in the last book that came out was chapter 95, we only have to wait until next December to see that wonderful moment!!! But has anyone else noticed the shift in the series? It's like, Tohru is technically the main character, but she's hardly had much to say in the last few books. It's been all about Yuki and Kyo. I wonder if Natuski Takaya is just trying to drive us crazy by not having tohru confirm her feelings for Kyo. (Grrrrrrrrr!)
Is there anyone reading this who actually got to go to one of the REAL Eclipse proms and who took pictures? If you did, please send them to me. My e-mail is DramaQueenBaby15@aol.com I hope to get some cool pics to post, but if y ou don't want them posted, just say so and I won't post them!
I did get a picture from Stephenie's site of the guys that were there to represent Jacob and Edward. I have it posted on the top of the page. I agree with the Edward pick, but the Jacob guy just doesn't seem like Jacob.
See ya!!!
P.S. I came up with the title of this post after I was done writing all of this because I could not think of anything else to use!!

Read and Write

If you've read the 'about me' part of my blog, you know that I am a starving artist. (in the high school terms). Anyway, right now I am working on yet another of my incredible story ideas. I have gone through at least ten without finishing them since the sixth. The most recent one which I starte in November, I almost finished. It was 90 pages typed, single spaced, 12 font. It was about vampires. I really liked it and I hope that I can finish it someday. But I changed my mind abuot the way the plot would go when I got to where I was and I'm too lazy to try and fix it now.
anyway, my latest one is sort of like harry potter meets maximum ride meets twilight meets looking for alaska. And that's the only clue that I'm going to give right now. I'll post some more on it at later times.
And guess where I am right now. Yep, record keeping!!! And I have 25 minutes to do whatever I want. I should probably finish my Algebra1 homework so that I don't have to do it over the weekend, but I don't feel like it. I feel like being a computer nerd and finding new pictures for my blog.
Do you know what would suck? If my school blocks blogging sites. How will I ever post again? I'll be reduced to my slow as molasses computer at home or having to drive thirty miles into the city to go to the library!!!! And I wouldn't put it past them. I tried to go onto bored. com, today (a site that has always been open to us needy students) and it was suddenly blocked!! It was terrible! I couldn't send the computer prank call to my friends like I usually do!!! Luckily, Aeonity hasn't been blocked yet. And neither has Maximum Ride. But I can't get on facebook or myspace or anything like that. And apparently, next year the restrictions are only going to get worse. If you don't hear from me for a long time during the next school year, that's the reason.
Anyway, right now I am in full heartbreak recovery mode. I just found something out about the guy that I liked and a girl that I trusted enough to tell and how he reacted when he found out. It pretty much sucks.
See ya!

Skool Days

Turns out that posting from home is more trouble than it's worth. So, I'm back to posting from school. I'm in record keeping class right now.
Has anyone seen the audition tapes from the Maximum ride site? I didn't see Nicole's (it wasn't working) but I hope that it is better than Amy's. She SUCKED!!!!! I just watched it a few minutes ago and I nearly burst out laughing right here in class. She's way to preppy to ever play Max.
Oh, yeah. If any of you ever wonder why my text is so small, it's so that none of the kids in my class can read over my shoulder while I'm posting. And so that my teacher can't read it. I don't mind other cyber kids reading it, but kids at school would be just too embarrassing. See ya!!

Think Hard. Laugh Often. Love Always.

Guess what! I'm actually not posting from school for once. But I totally wish that I was. My internet is so slow!! It's taken me like a half hout just to get to where I can post a message.
I wish that I could post music on here. How cool would that be? You would all be rocking out to Breaking Benjaman's 'Breath' or My Chemical Romance's 'Famous Last Words'
Anyway, TGIF baby!! This week has SUCKED!!!!!!!!! But today was awesome. Today our school had this thing called Change of Pace. A whole bunch of people come in from a whole bunch of different careers and they give presentations and stuff. I took a class called African Dance. It was AMAZING!!! I had sooo much fun!!! It made me want to visit Africa.
I also took a self defense class. It was pretty fun. I learned some moves and now I can bring a full grown man to his knees. I also got a dogtag made for me. It says "Think Hard. Laugh Often. Love Always." That's pretty much my motto.
You know that you are in Montana when the weather changes like it did today. It was snowing, like December snowing, this morning. It was FREEZING! Now, it's sunny and a cool breeze is blowing. It kind of sucks though. I was supposed to have a softball game today, but when the snow turned into rain, the fields got too wet so the game was canceled.
Has anyone seen Spider Man 3 yet? It started today!! I have to wait until next week to see it though. This month is going to rock!!! I can't wait to get the special edition of New Moon. Then Pirates of the Caribbean 3 comes out on the 25 and Maximum Ride 3: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports comes out on the 29. I am so PUMPED!!!
For those of you into the Christian music scene, there is a FALLING UP concert here tonight. They're here with RunKidRun and Ever Stays Red. But my sister has a baseball game. I don't get to go. It stinks. Oh well, I guess that I'll just go to the next concert. The last one that I went to was awesome! It was Kutless, Stellar Kart, and Ever Stays Red. The mosh pit was insane and I was right in the middle of it. I fell down at one point and almost got trampled. But it was all worth it. I got to meet the bands afterwords. That means that my list of famous people that I have met has expanded.... it's still not very big, though. I think that I'll post a list of everyone that I've met to the right.
Wow, I talk too much. See ya!

Max+Fang=FAX

I'm sorta breaking all sorts of rules in my school. Every time I post, I'm at school because my internet is just too slow!!! Anyway, this time I'm in Business Machines. I'm going to die! I'm going to fail Earth Science!! I need to have my LATE homework with me, but I don't. I need to get them turned in so that I don't have to repeat the class next year. This sux!!
Anyway, I pretty much have a study hall right now until school lets out for the day. Then I have to stay after and work on the yearbook.

Hey, anyone reading this, if you are a Maximum Ride fan, you should totally check out the latest blog entry!! There is a totally awesome picture of Max and Fang kissing! I totally think that they would make a great couple. Ever since Max kissed him on the beach in the first book. And judging by the responses to the picture on their blog, many other people agree with me. I feel sorta sorry for Nudge right now, though. After posting that picture, she better fly for her life!! They're going to KILL HER!!!

I am totally impatient for the third MR book to come out. And for Eclipse to come out. And about that, I'm going to be at camp on the day that it comes out and my mom is going to get to read it before I do!!!! She refuses to send it to me! She says that postage would cost too much. As if the cost of postage is more important than Bella and Edward!!!!

I'm also excited for the movie Stardust to come into theatres. I saw the trailor for it when I went to see Disturbia (GREAT MOVIE!!!) and then I started reading the book. It is soooooo good!! And for those fellow Twilight fans out there, Henry Cavill (Stephenie Meyer's choice for Edward) will be in the movie. Sadly, it isn't coming out until August 10. and guess where I'll be: CAMP!!!! I never thought that I would miss so much going there. If it wasn't as awesome as it is, I wouldn't go this year!!!

Does anyone else follow the anime show on Adult Swim called Bleach? I think that it's awesome, but it's totally drawn out! I mean, when will Ichigo FINALLY rescue Rukia? I checked on Animenewsnetwork.com and it looks like he's not going to see her again until episode 41 which SHOULD air in the beginning of July. I really want to see that episode mostly because I think that it's obvious that Ichigo totally likes Rukia and I think that it will be a very romantic episode. It better not be on in the end of July because I will be at Creation!! (Tell me if you're going!!!)

Anyway, that's enough ranting for today!!
