Another wednesday and 19 days to go
So in about an hour I'm going to Stephanie's house because we have a math test so this is gonna be short and sweet. I know it cliche to say "I've been busy" but i promise I've been so rapped up in my own teen aged drama to care about anything else. I'm sick of people!!!! Or I'm sick of people at my school and I'm ready to be in college. 19 days to go!!!!!!
Anyways here's the update
1. the show went great and i go through withdrawals everyday i come home at 3:40 instead of 9 or 10
2. we were nominated for 6 awards!!!!
3. we didn't win any awards but it was and amazing award show... i think you can watch it on the channel 2 website
4. prom was amazing.
5 spring break was awesome. i didn't go anywhere but i did a lot of seriously needed hanging out.
6. decided on a college!!!! Oglethorpe university here i come!!!!!
7. trying to get my grades up. i have this unspeakable grade in ap econ and i need 7 more points in math to get my exemption.
8. I'm thinking that i've fallen out of love with the internet. I cant even remember how i stayed on the computer for like 5 hours straight. now i just check my email, youtube twitter and then i'm off.
I'm actually really out of love with the vlogbrother and i cant figure out why. I just started rewatching old videos and they're funny and idk. i think i liked it more when it felt like they were really talking to each other... you know what i mean.
anyways again
i have to get dressed to go and study now.
lots of love

Tenley and the Art Projects
So, apparently I'm starting a new blog on my own? That's cool I guess, we all know I have enough personalities to be my own collab blog. *sarcasm* Seriously, though... you should blog.
Not much is happening this week, I've just been finishing up papers and working on several art projects. One in particular I almost forgot about and ended up doing from like 11PM - 5AM this morning/last night whatever you want to call it. The assignment was to decorate a lamp (its for a decorative arts class). It started as this ------->
And by the time I was done (and very tired) it looked something like this. <------
Well what do you think?
I think that's it for me this week, hopefully some of you will a get a chance to blog!

Writing about Poe... oh its Tuesday!
Hey, girls! Sorry I didn't post last week, I was busy doing exactly what I should be doing now... my research paper. Its pretty much my major grade of the semester and its due tomorrow, so this is going to be quick.
@Chelsea I'm glad everything with prom and the show worked out! Oh and I haven't read Shadow of the Wind, but I'll look for next time I go to the library. Which won't be until I turn in this and my many other papers.
@Carissa *makes finger heart thing* I love you, I hope your week gets better!
Everyone else: You should blog, and maybe then you'll get a comment from me.
But that's about it, I have a paper to write. Then after that, another paper to write. Then an art project to finish... oh and that other art project. And math homework. And I should probably read for art appreciation because I haven't done that in awhile (oops). I could probably find more to list, but I really have to go, so bye. Hopefully I'll have more time next week!

15 mins to blog... or save the world
ok so i just got home and saw the time.
I dont know about you girls but i hate drama and what i hate more than drama is being stood up. if you say your going to be some where at a certain time then its expected that you should be there on time. you dont text the person you are meeting 30 minutes later and say that ur running late and might not be able to go. and then say that ill try and then have the person your meeting have to text you to tell you to forget it even though they have been waiting at the place for AN HOUR by then. it stupid and rude. and does not make one want to give you a second chance to prove yourself.
ok moral of the story is not lie and dont stand people up.
moving on my week has been pretty bad even though it was sprig break i worked everyday and drama surronds me there i swear.
hopefully tomorrow will be better. night girls! i miss u all and why is noone blogging anymore??

Long time no blog...
Hey ladies
I’ve been very absent from the internet lately. I have proper reasons but not all of them are good.
1. The show!!! It went great. You know that feeling you get when you have a crush on someone and they touch you? Well that warm and tingly feeling was how I felt at the end of the last song. I miss staying at the school til 9 believe it or not. I miss my cast and I miss being in a musical!!!
2. PROM!!! Even through all the stupid high school drama I had a really great night! Everything I had planned went perfect. Our limo was awesome, I looked awesome, my date was awesome, my friends were being nice to each other, and everything was just really good!!!!
3. During the show I had let my grade sit on the back burner and now I have to catch up
4. I normally take a nap at 5 o’clock
5. This is weird but I don’t feel as connected to the internet as I did last year. Maybe its cause I got really social… maybe its cause I don’t have a camera.
… I think that’s it.
I just finished the greatest book!!!!! Have any of you read the shadow of the wind? It’s by far my favorite of the year… it’s actually the first book I’ve finished this year but still. I stayed up til 4 in the morning trying to finish and when I was over I had the most amazing feeling. I don’t get why anyone does drugs when they can just read good books. So If you’re ever in Barns and Noble or whatever book store you go to pick up the shadow of the wind. Its almost 5 and time for my nap so I’ll talk to you guys later
Happy Wednesday
Happy Reading
Happy 24 of March
Lots of love

Spring Break
Hey girls its Tuesday! Which means mid-terms are over and I'm finally on Spring break. Unfortunately I procrastinated on writing this all day and now I have do it in like a half an hour (not actually that bad, but still). So let's just go back through the last few days and review what I did.
Friday: After a long day of mid-terms, me and some friends (Annette, Joanna, Tristan and Chris if your interested in their names) got in the car and drove about three and a half hours to Virginia Beach. The trip went shockingly well considering none of us are particularly gifted when it comes to navigating and have never been there. We got there at like 7PM, so we decided to eat, hang out on the boardwalk (which is amazing by the way) and then go to the Hotel and sleep (to whatever extent a group of college kids actually sleep while on Spring break).
Saturday: We went to the beach (shocking I know lol). I won't go into detail because I'm assuming you've all been to the beach and know the various activities one usually participates in while there.
Later through a string of random strangers we pieced together that there was some kind of "show" on the beach later. We couldn't make out what kind of show, only that there was one and it was free. But after asking we realized it was a musical fountain thing (pretty self explanatory, there's a fountain, there's music, and people watch). I'm not generally into that kind of thing, but it happened to be free and college students are never keen to pass up free things. It was fun, not widely entertaining, but decent and we made our commentary which made it far more entertaining.
Sunday: We went downtown and shopped and ate and watched various street performers (something a smart Youtuber would have filmed, but I'm clearly not one of those. Sorry) before promptly driving back to Lynchburg. Where some of us (Tristan, Chris and Joanna if your curious) flew to their home states/countries (Tristan's from New Zealand) (can I just take a minute to be a total girl and swoon over his amazing accent). And some of us (Annette and me) drove home.
I'm going to skip Monday and Tuesday because nothing really happened. Except that I just watched "Harriet the Spy" on TV... that was fun. Tomorrow I'll probably work on my art project because its due shortly after break.
Mac or PC debate: I'm a PC who wants to be a Mac. What does that mean? Allow me to explain. I love Macs, I think their video software is better, I think they generally work faster and more efficiently and let's be honest, they look way more high-tech and awesome to be seen with in a coffee shop. However, my parents paid for my computer. And my Dad is a hardcore PC man. Partly because PC's are cheaper (which I'll admit is true) and partly because he's into computer programming which is one thing PC's are better for.
But I will admit, I love Google products a lot (Chrome = <3).
@Chelsea I hope the show is going well/went well (I don't know when it ends) and I agree we should start planning the summer.

i like turtles.....sea turtles that is...and sharks...da dum da dum...
hello girls!
So this week i went to the aquarium. And have rediscovered my love of the ocean. I also adopted a penguin named diane, through the adopt an animal at the aquarium. Her mate is named jack (hum along i know u know the song). i also have been on a nature kick again i've been watching planet earth and deep blue and another one that i forget what it is called.
my spring break isn't for another week! (lucky Arielle) so i have midterms next week and so much work to do.
I dont know if any of u are gamers but i recently bought bioshock 2 for Pc (yes i know i have a mac and i love macs but i have an old dell from 3 years ago that im currently installing it on as i type this) and i am so looking forward to playing it.
By the way girls Mac or PC?
Personally I love Macs and Apple products but I vote Google over Mac any day...i have an android phone and i use google chromo on my macbook which i know is evil nowadays.
I have started reading the book Garden Spells for this book club my friends at work are doing. Have any of you read them?
Also really funny story so if you dont know i have 2 fish tanks in my room one has 2 angelfish in it and the other has 2 tetras (one skirt and one glowfish) and a albino cory fish. So i went and got a balloon mollie to put in the tank from the fish store and ut the bag in the tank like your suppose to and waited about an hour. i came back and guess what...........My fish had BABIES! so i did some more research and apparently mollies can keep having babies for up to a month without needing a male mollie so needless to say she and the fry are in a breeding tank together. Crazy stuff!
@Chelsea i hope your show is going well now that life is getting better for you. Break A Leg!!
@Arielle hope you are having fun on Spring Break. And how excited are u for july and the Very potter musical sequel!!!!!! I am so excited! my friends and i are planning a trip that probley wont happen to see it at U of M in ann harbor in may.
@Tenley I hope your midterms went well and you have fun on spring break!

Unobsessed fan...
So how about My Chemical Romance lead singer had a kid...like a year ago! I have officially been kick out of the fan club because I just found out. I'm gonna give you a taste of the crazy.
I thought it was a sign that The Black Parade came out on my birthday (October 24). I would go through withdrawals for the music during school so as soon as I got home I would listen to all three CDs starts to finish. I cried when I found out they were coming to Georgia. Then I begged my parents 3 months ahead of time to let me go to this concert even though it was on an exam day and a school night.
Funny (not so funny) story
My mother asked me why none of my other friends were going. I told her because it was on a Tuesday. She then said "maybe you shouldn’t go" I spent the whole night crying only to find out in the morning that she was always going to let me go.
I saw them again that July 24. Then I saw them again for projekt revolution on another 24. I thought it was a sign. I have multiple copies of all the CDs…I don’t know how that happened. Another sign Ray Toro (lead guitar) really likes captain crunch so I thought it was a sign that there was captain crunch in our pantry so I had to take it to the concert.
I had t-shirt and buttons and obsession pages in all of my binders and now two years later I find out Gerard Way had a kid…. Last May on a 27 not a 24. That threw me off a bit. Well there is no real point to this story. It just blew my mind and I thought I should share.
Very tired again and very greatful that opening night is tomorrow. I Love the Les Mes cast and I'm going to be really sad when its over.
Ladies we should start planning our summer... Maybe themes, maybe videos and maybe meeting IRL. I am going to Florida in July maybe to go to universal. sooo...yeah. I think I'm going to go to bed now and do @replies in the morning

Mid-Terms
You know what sucks? Mid-term week. Yeah, its mid-term week here, so this is going to be quick (well, it should be, but then again I said the same thing last week).
Fortunately, I don't have a ton to talk about anyways. Aside from studying for multiple exams and being really excited for spring break next week, nothing is really happening.
I actually don't even know if there's a theme because I'm the first one to post this week, so I guess were theme-less?
Anyways, in the midst of studying I usually have one thing that I spend my time procrastinating with. This time around, although I'm embarrassed to admit it, I've been watching "Make it or Break it" obsessively (currently I'm re-watching old episodes while I finish my art portfolio). Have you guys seen it? If not, basically its a bunch of a elite gymnasts in training. Its a pretty simple plot line, and I often catch myself wondering why I love it so much, but I do.
*thinks of things to talk about* I've got nothing (hums the Chartjackers song) which is good because I should get back to work on my portfolio.

this is petty and stupid and very high school...
Hey ladies
Was there a theme this week? Whatever I’m having a bad day. No that’s a lie I’m having a bad night. And I can’t do this right now. I’ll tell you guys more at our skype chat if you want to hear it. But its not something I’m putting on the internet.

The Downside of Procrastination
This is going to be quick because I have to work on my English paper and its already pretty late. The theme this week is presents. You can tell us about the best present you've gotten, or the worst, or just a funny story about presents, it really doesn't matter.
I'm currently drawing a blank on every present I've ever received though (perhaps because I've been spending so much time working on my paper*). But I do remember a present I gave so I'm going to tell that story.
When I was in tenth grade one of my friends decided to have a white elephant party (I don't remember the reason). I pretty sure white elephant gifts are common knowledge, but in case their not, its basically just a stupid gift that no one would ever want to receive, but in this case they do as a joke (wrapping up garbage is a common present). But I decided to take it further. I took a Ken doll (yes I still owned one in tenth grade. Yes, I'm weird) and put him in Barbie clothes and then stuck him in Barbie box with the label; Cross-dresser Ken.
Usually I'd go into more detail when I tell stories, but I really have to work on my paper so I can't. But real quickly, some @replies:
@Chelsea I hope the shows going well, and good luck (I'll probably say that again next week FYI)!
@Carissa Luna is awesome. I wish I could rewatch Harry Potter (my inner thoughts: no, Tenley, no don't procrastinate anymore. You can't!).
Dang it, this was much longer than I was going for! I apparently can't do short. I can't do short blogs, I can't watch Youtube videos for a short period of time...

*That's a lie. I've been spending my time procrastinating, which is why I'm in such a panic now. Why do I do this to myself?

Once more with feeling and SNOW!!!! no more Snow!
hello girls!
i must apologize for my absence last week, i had tons of work and very little time to complete it.
so this weeks theme is when we were young. I was born in florida and lived there till i was 9. i miss it some times. the one childhood memory that my parents always like to bring up is the fact that when i was 3 i was at preschool and got put in timeout because i was a hyper little kid and found a crayon. um needless to say i did what most children do and stuck it up my nose. i had to be taken to the hospital to get it out. when i was 2 i was in the hospital for meningitis and it was really bad, i got pushed around in a wagon with my iv bag. my parents actual took pictures and i recently found them.
i dont know if any of you have ever see kids on leaches but let me tell u i was one of those kids. i was so hyper as a child and i would run off in department stores and hide in clothing racks and not make a sound i use to scare the crap out of my parents.
im currently watching harry potter and the sorcerers stone. they are all so cute and little! i think my favorite characters in HP are luna and remus lupin. im going to reread them when i finish the books im reading right now.
@arielle -I LOVE BTVS! i have been obsessed with it since 1998. Angel is pretty good too. Thats so cool that you got an iphone! i have the my touch from google and its awesome.
@chelsea - I love the show veronica mars too!
Oh by the way girls ive had college canceled today because of a snowicane! lol we got more snow today and have more still on the way!
DFTBA!

i must apologize for my absence last week, i had tons of work and very little time to complete it.
i love the olympics my 2 favorite winter sports are hockey and curling. im so excited that the final mens hockey game is usa vs. (hopefully) canada. we beat them once and we can do it again. i watched usa vs finland today and it was a slaughter of the finland team in 5 minutes usa had gotten 6 goals 2 of which were in 15 secs. it was crazy!

when you were young...
Hello ladies
I got home really late tonight. I had to do some last minute costume shopping after rehearsal. The musical is coming on great except I dont know how to act... and I dont think I come off prostitute-ish enough. I love musicals... anyways.
---
This is a funny theme cause I have to write a memior for an english project. Well when I was young I didnt do much but watch tv. I went to a crap private school in St. Thomas. Then my parents were like "this school is crap" and I went to a different private school where I had to repeat 2nd grade. Um... And I watched a lot of tv. I moved to Ga where I learned to read and watched less tv (but still a massive amount of tv)
List time (this is the part where the rap breaks down)
1)had a freak obsession with Anne of Green Gables
2)had a freak obsession with lord of the rings
3)watched massive amounts of tv
4)started doing homework instead of watching tv
5)Found Harry Potter
----
So the show opens March 11-14 and then prom is the following week. After that I have about a month til graduation! Time Flies when you're stressed.
I think I'm gonna go to sleep now
HAPPY WEDNESDAY
oh and Carissa asked when our Birthdays were. I'm October 24th...
yeah
Good night yal
OH one more thing
Have yal heard of the Broken Bells??? they have this song called the high road and it's my favorite so I thought I would share that..
okay G'night Folks

When I was a Child...
Today's post is going to be fairly short because I still have a lot of homework to get done tonight.
First, the theme: when you were little.
I actually don't remember a whole lot from my childhood, but here's some of the ones I do:
1. When I was about 2 I was in my walker and my sister kept giving me some of her crackers (she was really into Barney and had just watched a show about sharing). But instead of eating them, I repeatedly chucked them at her head when she turned around. I don't know why...
2. When I was 4 my family went to Cedar Point (we lived in Michigan at the time and it was like an hour drive) and we visited the Berenstain Bears home (its not there anymore, but believe me it was awesome).
3. When I was 6-7 my sister (same one as before) and I were playing with a ball in basement and she tossed it to me, and I missed it. But being the clumsy person I am, I attempted to dive for it (a 6-7 year old version of a dive anyway) and fell into my Mom's old school sewing machine (one of those big ones with needles poking out everywhere) (it might be called something else technically, I don't remember). Fortunately, I came out of it with just a scar on my stomach.
@Chelsea So glad you had a good week! Also, Blair Waldorf is fabulous.
@Arielle Lucky, I want an iPhone!

Hey girls! As usually I'm writing from this from the library. Although today I don't have a lot of work to do, just an essay to write, but of course I left my prompt at home and my sister has my car so I'm stuck procrastinating until I can get home and get the prompt. Guess it'll be another sleepless night.
So this week's theme is the Olympics. Usually I love the Olympics. I love watching the figure skating and the skiing. But this year I haven't watched at all. To be honest, I haven't really wanted to watch because I've been so wrapped up in watching Buffy. I got turned onto Buffy and now I've watched nothing but. I'm a week and a half behind on other tv shows because I'm so addicted to Buffy right now! I guess this is like the story of my life...get addicted to a show, maraton watch until I have no more to watch, then watch and rewatch until the next obsession comes along. At least it's keeping me busy until Matt Smith's season starts.
Speaking of keeping busy until Matt Smith's season starts...Chelsea I loved Veronica Mars! I got into it a couple years ago after it was finished but it is such a great show! I love Krtisten Bell!
Oh I do have really excited new this week! So my phone contract was up last week and my parents came up to visit this weekend for family weekend so I got a new cell phone. But not just any phone...I got a freaking iPhone! I'm so excited! I've been waiting for this for two years. I love it so much already and I've barely even put anything on it yet.
I think we need to have a skype chat soon because we really need to work things out with this blog!
Carissa where were you? No Friday post =(
Okay well I'm going back to watching Buffy...I'm almost done with season 6.

Hey Ladies
Okay to be perfectly honest I havent been watching the olympics at all. Please dont hate me. But if this makes any difference at all I'm going to be doing science olympiad this saturday. That makes no difference at all. I'm no where near prepared but I'm hoping it will be fun and maybe by some twisted miracle I could maybe win the bird event. I've been learning a lot about birds today. And ducks are my favorite thing about this event. I'm in love with the wood duck. Google it! It's the cutest most freaky looking thing in the world. I think it's cause it has red eyes... Okay I'm going to stop talking about ducks now.

I found a new(old) show!!! Veronica Mars is my show til Doctor Who comes back. With everyday I get more and more excited for Matt Smith. Everytime I watch the preview I want to jump up and down , scream, or something equally lame.

@Carissa all that snow was ridiculous! I mean in GA we got about 3in (all three inches were gone about a day and a half later) And that was still more than I could handle. If (when) we meet irl we should have a phantom night complete with every poto movie you own.
@Arielle happy exam taking...that sounds wierd
@Tenley I love poe... When I was in like 9th grade I had a thing fot the tell tale heart. Thats my only poe story. I wish I was more entertaining
@everyone I dont think I'll be going to any youtubie gatherings but this summer I will be going to the Hary Potter theme park. So yeah..
I ought to study my bird book now

The Olympics and Poe
"Oh yeah, its Tuesday. I should blog." My thoughts about two minutes ago (very bad time estimate, it was probably less).
Not much is happening to be honest, I went to class, I came home, I talked to people online, I re-watched two and half months of Vlogbrother videos when I should have been doing homework, and of course I watched the Olympics.
Speaking of the Olympics (okay, I'll admit that whole last paragraph was just a pathetic way of bringing up the theme) that's this weeks theme! _____ <--- insert enthusiasm here (just kidding, I'm actually reasonably excited... well, no, but I'm not dreading it either). I usually only watch figure skating, but this year I've been watching Speed skating as well. Other than that I haven't really kept track of what's going on. I didn't even watch the opening ceremony. My parents watched it and I kind of heard it in the background, but I didn't watch it. Personally, I think the opening ceremonies are kind of boring. Specifically the part where all the teams walk in. In the past when I watched this part my first thought was: "we get it... a lot of countries, a lot of teams... what's your point?" And this is still pretty accurate.
Also, I really wish this happened last week because it would fit perfect with the nerdiness theme. But on Monday my English Professor assigned this major research paper on Edgar Allen Poe! Okay, not really about him, but about his stories... well, one of them (I haven't picked yet, I should be doing that now). Naturally me and my supreme nerdiness are really excited about it. Even I am calling myself a nerd right now.
@Chelsea Aww... *hugs* Boys are stupid... remember that, its a general life lesson. #facts
@Carissa Oh seez... that's a lot of snow!
@Arielle *sings* "We're off to see the Wizard..." I've had that stuck in my head since I read your post.
*flees to finally do some homework*

P.S. In regards to the towing incident, it turned out fine. I called the school, and explained what happened and they realized it. I still had to get a new parking pass, but it was only like five bucks.

Happy Valentine's Day
Hey girls! I hope everyone is enjoying their Valentines Day if you are celebrating and if not I hope you had a good Sunday! Mine was once again spent in the library. So what else is new? It's been another long week for me! I thought I had another week between my exams, but the second one finished I had to start studying for the one coming up. At least when this one is over I have a few weeks of not living in the library. This is just going to be a quick one because it's been a long weekend of studying and I still have a lot to do!
So the theme is what makes me nerdy. Well, John describes nerd as "liking things" and over the years I've liked a lot of things.
My earliest obsession was Star Wars. I owned the original trilogy on VHS and watched it all the time. I used to get those little light sword things from the parades at Disney and pretend they were my light saber. I was even Darth Vader one year for Halloween and made my sister be Princess Lea.
I also had a bit of a Wizard of Oz obsession for a while. I used to have these little figurines of Dorothy, Lion, Tin Man, Scarcrow and Toto I used to play with.
Then there was Harry Potter. I don't really think that one needs much explanation.
I've always had an obsession with TV shows. The specific shows have changed throughout the years, but I'm a bit of a TV nerd. I follow way too many shows a week!
I've also always been a bit of a computer nerd. I was always the person my family would turn to with simple computer problems. In fact my mom still calls me up before she takes her computer into Apple to see if I can fix her problems.
I was a mathlete in high school.
I can solve a Rubik's cube in about 2 minutes and I can also solve a 4x4 Rubik's cube.
Then there is the Doctor Who nerd in me that grows stronger every day. Sometimes I amaze myself with the references I can pull to Doctor Who considering I've only been a fan of the show since the summer when I marathon watched the new series. I'm still working my way through the old series. I'll be starting the third Doctor next. I sort of skipped Second I didn't like Troughton much.
My current obsession is Buffy. I've been watching nothing but Buffy this past week. I'm really behind on all my other shows but Buffy is just so good!
Okay I think that is enough listing of how I am a nerd. I didn't include being a nerdfighter but that is sort of implied.
It is getting late and I still have a lot of homework to finish so I'm going to end this. I'll do the Olympics theme next week.
DFTBA
