Snow day tomorrow?!

Hey Bloggies:)
Today has pretty much been the best Monday of my life. I had so much stuff to do that I couldn't barely breathe but I like that. I went to go get my ID for the state of Texas because we can't get a passport in time. I'm going to Hawaii in a couple of weeks :) I'm majorly excited guys! Think about it...me in Hawaii. It should 'sleet' tomorrow. My fingers are crossed that they'll cancel school for tomorrow. (because in Texas if we get one inch of snow the whole world ends) LOL. I saw Jake in the hallway today and I looked the other way. I'm not wasting my time on him. So guess what text message I received in 8th period. It was my from my mom: "Word from Jane is that all the guys are gaga for Cassidy! I didn't say anything other than what I told you about last night (about having fun with them and wanting to hang out again). Jane volunteered that they all are crazy for you. Just making sure that you knew ;) Gonna try to go to the DMV later and maybe the grocery store..."
Lol so this day magically turned great. Jane added me on facebook and I was like "Yes, I would love to be your friend." but only because she's ah-mazing. Almost as cool as my mom
(who is now my official wing man). Alright guys, I have homework to do.

Stacy's Mom Action.

*CRASH LAND INTO MOM'S BEDROOM*
Mom- "Look at who added me!"
Me- "No way!"
Mom- "I know right!"
Dad- *half asleep* "Shhhh!*"
Me and Mom- *whispering* "Sorry..."
Me- "Oh my gosh mom!"
Mom- "He did this for you..."
Me- "Nah! He probably thinks you're a hot mama. There's some Stacy's mom/ Mrs. Robinson/ cougar action going on here."
Mom-"You're kidding right?"


My mom doesn't believe that she's hot. She wonders why I have such low self-esteem but then she calls herself ugly and fat. Which she is totally not! Maybe you're wondering what we were talking about...
Danny (yes band nerd) had added my mother on Facebook. Crazy right? At first I was like "What the heck?!" but around 40 minutes after he added her, he added me too. Mom said the only reason why he added her was because my mom was a friend of Jane (his mom) and the only way he could get to me is by adding her. "Oh-kay mom whatever." I rolled my eyes. In my head I was thinking oh my gosh, she might be right! And suddenly I started remembering all these little things from the day before.
Okay so I have this book called How To Make Anyone Fall In Love You. Before you make fun of me I just gotta say that I bought it as a joke and planned on making fun of it later. Turns out that it's a good book:) I learned a bunch of things. Like eye contact is key and long amounts of eye contact can release a chemical in the brain that makes the other person attractive. Or our pupils sub consciously dilate when we are attracted to someone. It's actually really fun to read (maybe I'm a science geek).
I remembered that before Danny forced me to play guitar for him he started talking about acoustic bands (I think my mom told him that I play acoustic guitar). He was like "So do you like...NeverShoutNever?" In my mind I was screaming oh yes! I love Christofer with a fire of a thousand suns. I would marry him if I could and I know every song!
But instead I said "Yeah, I like them."
He started playing this song on guitar JUST FOR ME!:



I didn't think much of it then because his friends were really loud and chaotic so I couldn't hear him and he stopped like 1 minute into playing the song.
Now I'm thinking about how sweet that is.


AS my brother said "Whenever a guy is nice to you, he want's to get in your pants." I know, I know what he said was crude but if think about it-it is true. I kind of hope he treats every girl the same way he treated me because that means that he genuinely a nice guy. Anyway, so they might be coming over in 2 weeks. Hoping that Danny comes with them. He probably will because I know he has the hots for my mom. LOL.



*UPDATE* Mom just told me why he added me. About an hour before he added mom she sent a message to Jane that said: We absolutely loved going over to visit you guys. You're family is just so sweet. We enjoyed ourselves soo much and we should do it more often. I know Cassidy would love to spend more time with your daughter and hang out more with Danny :P...

Band nerd?!

Mom has this friend, Jane. Who she hasn't talked to in about 16 years. They got reconnected through Facebook and Jane invited us over to her house. Mom was like "She has a 16 year old son...he's kind of skinny....he's in the marching band..." and automatically that feeling came back. The 'my parents are going to make us awkwardly hang out while they talk' feeling, so I was not excited to go. We drive about 2 hours to her house and I suggested turning around many times. We get inside of the house and we have our awkward hellos with Jane and Alan(her husband). Jane yells down the hallway for Danny (the band nerd) to leave his room. Next thing I know, these two SUPER fine guys walk down the hallway. One is short and has the flippy thing going on (Ben) and the other is like 6 feet tall and really skinny (Danny). Of course I suddenly wished that I spent longer on my hair and make up. There are the awkward hellos and they start to walk away when Danny says "You can come back if you want to." so I follow them into his room where there are TWO MORE SUPER CUTE GUYS! I'm like "What the heck is going on here?" They were very cool and I later found out that they have a band. So technically they are still 'band nerds'. Danny was sweet :) he tried to make sure that I didn't feel awkward. Whenever they laughed about something Danny would explain it to me. They continued to ask me to play guitar for them. I was like "No because I'm nervous and it's going to sound crappy." then they all laughed and said "You shouldn't be nervous."
Danny smiled at me and said
"Yeah, seriously we're not that cool.
We're those weird kids that sit in the corner."
*Why did I italicize/bold that last part? Because I say that ALL THE TIME. I'll say "I feel like that one quiet kid in the corner." at least 6 times everyday. LOL we have so much in common.*
I could tell they were the weird kids but they were so cool that I loved being around them. I ended up looking at Danny more and more. He looked right back at me. By the end of the day, Jane and Alan had given me a bag full of stuff to keep. Danny gave me 2 bracelets (one ninja turtle and one that says his band name). And before we left I heard "She's hot." coming from one of their mouths. I turned around fast and Danny's face was all red and Ben was pushing him.
Needless to say, I'll be looking forward to when they come over to our house.

What I go to school for:)

Now that I'm paying more attention I've noticed that I see Austin a lot during the day. Before first period, on my way to third, after third, before fourth, and after fifth (that's when he leaves because he has early release). It's creepy that I notice that, huh? But that's not what I need to talk about- Austin stared at me this morning when I walked by. Before 1st period my friends and I walk to our classes: lissa and Shane walk away together first, then Maggie goes to art. Then Kayleigh, Tori, Chase, Me, and Travy walk up to the 2nd floor. Kayleigh goes up to the third floor then the rest of us keep on walking down the 2nd floor hallway. While we were walking down that hallway I usually pass by Austin who is waiting by the door. He was there as usual but this time he saw me walk up the stairs. I stood next to Chase (who is very tall) and Chase put his arm around my shoulder (no attraction whatsoever! He was just kidding around I swear!).Austin just stared at us! He didn't have any kind of expression, he was just...staring. We were walking past him and when I turned around he was still staring. Maybe he finally knows I exist?

Prom Time!

I'm sick this morning (thanks to dad's bad cooking) so I'm going be bored all day and there is probably going to be a lot of blog posts. Prom is only a couple months away but we all know that I'm not going to be going to that. Unless a certain cute vet guy asks me :) but that doesn't mean I can't imagine. The theme for this year is 'Club 11' and I have NO idea what that means but hey-I'm rolling with it. My idea for the perfect prom dress is the green dress Taylor Swift wore in the Teardrops On My Guitar music video. I've always loved this dress. It's really long though, like it has a LONG train but it's adorable. My perfect date for prom- um, AUSTIN (a.k.a Cute Vet Guy)!!! Or Jackson Rathbone. Lol or Johnny Depp. Or Aaron Johnson. Or that guy who plays Eli on Degrassi. Haha I have a lot of perfect dates.
What's the class song for this year you may be asking. Well here it is:

Sweeney Todd! *Spoiler Alert!*

Seriously, I'm going to talk about the entire musical so if you don't want to know how it ends then don't read the scroll box!!
Hello Bloggies!
As you may know: I am obsessed with musicals. My friends swear I'm crazy but I love them. Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, Greese, High School Musical *Tee hee I was in that last year*, Beauty and the beast, Rocky Horror Picture Show, etc. I expecially love musicals with Johnny Depp in them. Well, I love any movie with Johnny Depp in it (I was shocked once when one of my friends said that they had never seen any of the Pirates of the Carribean movies. I LIVE on those movies. Johnny Depp AND Orlando Bloom? TOGETHER?! Oh yes!) Sweeney Todd is a very freaky, very disturbing, very tragic play. And yet-it had slight humor at points. So Imma tell you EVERYTHING that happens in this movie (the pink writing are links!):


Sweeney Todd arrives back to London after 15 years. He is on a ship with a young sailor who says that "There is no place like London." insisting that London is the greatest place on Earth. Sweeney replies "Oh, there's no place like London." showing a more pessimistic tone. Oh there's no place like London!. When the young sailor asks Sweeney why he is so upset Sweeney tells him about a barber and his wife. Benjamin Barker (the barber) was taken away from his wife and daughter on a false charge because an evil judge Turpin wanted his wife. Sweeney says goodbye to the young sailor and tells the sailor that he can find him "on fleet street." Sweeney walks down the street singing one of my favorite songs in this musical "There's a hole in the world like a great black pit! It's filled with people who are filled with SPIT. And the vermin of the world inhabit it..." *Yeah, I edited that a little* He finds his old house has been turned to Mrs. Lovett's meat pies. Mrs. Lovett is excited to see Sweeney because he would be her first customer in weeks. Why you may ask? Because she sells the worst pies in London. He asks her about what she knows of the house while she makes him some tea to 'get the taste out of his mouth'. She says that 'something bad' happened here. She talks about a barber and his wife, and how beautiful he was. "Poor thing!" she sighs and she tells Sweeney about how poor Lucy was raped. He screams "NO! Did no one take pity on her?!" revealing that he was Benjamin Barker. Mrs. Lovett is in awe that she is seeing that barber again and sadly tells him that his wife had poisoned herself and that Judge Turpin has adopted his daughter. She shows him the parlor and his old razors he used to shave men with. Here he vows that he will kill judge Turpin with "his friends." Meanwhile, the young sailor walks the streets of London but stops when he sees a beautiful blond girl look out of her window. He is in awe of her beauty and stares. The girl looks down at him and smiles before flinching away and running towards the other side of the room. He wonders why the girl looks so sad so he asks the beggar woman *remember her, she's important!* whose house this is. "Oh, Judge Turpin, sir." She says in a scared voice "And that was Miss Johanna." Judge Turpin is a creeper and watches Johanna at all hours of the day, he's in love with her so he keeps her locked up in the house so that no man will lay eyes on her. The young sailor is already in love. He sings "I feel you Johanna." which is one of the sweetest songs I have ever heard. But evil Judge Turpin tells the sailor if her ever lays eyes on Johanna again he will be killed. That doesn't stop him. He devises a plan with Sweeney Todd (as Todd realized that Johanna is his daughter) to steal Johanna away while the judge is at work. Sweeney goes to town and sees a young boy try to sell a phony product by another barber, some Magical Elixar. Todd ends up challenging that barber to a public ' shaving battle'.Todd wins and The Beetle (The judges assistant) says that he will come by the barber shop before the week ends. But the other barber and his little boy-slave come by the shop the day after. Mrs. Lovett watches after the boy while Sweeney and the other barber talk. The barber reveals that he knows who that Sweeney is actually Benjamin Barker. Todd kills the barber and hides him in a trunk in the corner of the room. When Mrs. Lovett finds the body she says "What will we do about the boy?" she was starting to like this boy because he actually ate her meat pies. "Bring him up!" Sweeney said as he sharpened his blade. Mrs. Lovett insisted on keeping him and letting him help with the shop. While he agrees, the Judge knocks on the door. Sweeney is so happy to see Judge Turpin, so happy to take revenge. The judge tells Sweeney about how he wants to become more attractive to Johanna because he was going to force her to marry him. Todd smiles as the Judge says that he wants a shave. They begin to sing about Pretty Women .
Right when Todd was about to cut the judge's neck, the young sailor bursts in the room. The judge says "I see the company you keep! I'm never coming back to this shop!". After Sweeney almost kills the sailor and Mrs.Lovett in anger. He tells Mrs. Lovett that
We all deserve to die! and decides that he is going to kill every man in London until he gets the judge. They begin to talk about how they are going to remove the other barber's body. That's when Mrs. Lovett gets the idea... "He was a big man..what a waste." they begin to come up with idea that when Sweeney kills a man, Mrs. Lovett will grind them up and make them into meat pies. Gross, right?? Strange enough, the meat pies become more and more popular as the restaurant fills up and Sweeney gets more customers. Mrs. Lovett falls in love with Sweeney while is obsessed with 2 things (His wife, Lucy and Judge Turpin). Mrs. Lovett begins making plans for herself, Todd, and the little boy. A life by the sea. Meanwhile, Johanna refuses the judge so the judge sends her away to an asylum. The young sailor and Todd come up with a plan to go to the the asylum and steal Johanna away. The little boy begins to expect something is wrong with Sweeney and he tells Mrs. Lovett that "Nothing will ever hurt you when I'm around." Mrs. Lovett cry as she knows that Sweeney will kill the boy because the boy is starting to figure things out. She tells him to grind meat in the basement and locks him in there without him knowing. Sweeney ends up killing The Beetle (the judges assistant)and drops him through the trap door to the basement. The boy yells when he sees the dead man and hides in the drain in the ground. Through the grate he can see everything as Todd and Mrs.Lovett look for him. In the asylum the sailor tells the guard that he is a barber's assistant and he is looking for a girl with yellow hair (a.k.a Johanna). The guard terrorizes the room of girls with yellow hair and tells the sailor to pick one. The sailor finds Johanna and pulls a gun on the guard and takes away his weapon. The sailor leaves with Johanna saying that "You are at the mercy of your prisoners." the women kill the guard as Johanna and the sailor escape. The sailor dresses Johanna in boys clothes and tells her to wait in the barber shop for 30 minutes. She hides in the truck in the corner of the room when she hears someone coming. The begger woman comes into the shop and looks around. Sweeney walks in and asks her why she's there. The woman tells him that Mrs. Lovett is evil and is the 'Devil's wife'. Then the beggar woman smiles up him when she meets his eyes and says "Hey...don't I know you?" Todd has no time for this so he swiftly cuts the woman across her throat and sends her down the trap door. In the basement Mrs. Lovett gasps as she sees the beggar woman dead saying "Oh no...he's killed her." *I didn't understand why she cared so much about the beggar woman until later* The Judge Turpin comes into the barber shop thinking that the sailor had taken the girl and hid her there (he was smart) Todd tricks the judge by saying "Oh yes! She's in the shop below. She's repented. She wants to marry you. How about a shave?" the judge agrees but while Todd prepares to shave him, he begins to hint his true identity. The judge says "Benjamin?!" Todd smiles and says "BENJAMIN BARKER!" as he stabs the judge several times. He sends the judge down to the basement still slightly alive. Sweeney discovers Johanna hiding in trunk and doesn't see through the disguise she's wearing. He was about to kill her when he heard Mrs. Lovett scream from the basement "Forget my face!" he tells Johanna as he runs out of the room,barely avoiding killing his own daughter. Mrs.Lovett screams as the judge grabs onto her ankle, half-alive. Finally, Mrs. Lovett kicks him off and Turpin dies. Sweeney comes down to the basement to see why she screamed and finds the three dead bodies of the judge, the Beetle, and the beggar woman. Mrs. Lovett starts the oven and leaves it open (it was one of the those ovens that was 8 feet tall and had giant flames inside *it's important*). Todd's eyes go to the beggars face and realizes something so sick and disturbing...the beggar woman was Lucy, his wife. He says to Mrs. Lovett "You lied to me!" She tells him Lucy had poisoned herself but instead of dying, the woman went crazy. Mrs. Lovett says she is sorry for not telling the truth but Mr.Todd says "What's dead is dead!" He tells Mrs.Lovett that he is in-love with her. They dance around the stove and the boy watches from the grate below. Finally and surprisingly, Mr.Todd's smile turns to a scowl as he pushes Mrs.Lovett into the fire of the stove. And she dies (kind of graphic). Sweeney sets his razor on the floor next to him as he holds the dead body of Lucy in his hands. In this last scene, I'm not sure if Todd saw the little boy come out of the grate. I'm not sure if he felt the little boy pick up his razor. But the boy stood behind him, razor in hand and Sweeney slightly stuck out his neck. With one swift motion, the boy cut the throat of Sweeney Todd and the musical was over. Sweeney Todd is dead, so is Mrs.Lovett, Lucy, The Judge, and hundreds of men who went into the barber shop for a shave. Johanna and the sailor run away together. And the little boy still walks the streets. The End.

So are you still looking for those humor points? Well here's one that made me laugh really hard:



Lol I love it! :)
So this musical is very depressing but it's very well written and one of my favorites.
My top songs are:



Love,
Cassidy

Like that firework over the freeway:)

Hey Bloggies!
Seems like nothing much has been happening in my life. Prom is coming up...but we all know that I'm not going to that. I love my high school around prom time, it's so....high school-y. It's almost like I crash landed into a teen movie-it's fun. I might've found out what Austin's last name is :) I'm not telling, you creepers! LOL but I will say that it is a SCOTISH last name. When I told mom that she goes "OH MY GOD HE'S A SCOT! MARRY HIM! NOW!!!!" exactly like that-half of my family will be cheering. I can barely look at the guy in the hallway let alone marry him. What the disturbing part about this is that EVERYONE in my family knows about him (even my Grandpa in Washington). New super cute guy in my spanish class-he spends most of the time eating and sleeping in the desk next to me. We're going to be Spanish Partners so that'll be fun. Jake is being a jerk AGAIN. I was right, Sam and Jake DID break up and that was the reason why he was talking to me. He got a new girlfriend (I know he bounces back fast) so he stopped talking to me again. On facebook Jake posted about how he 'breaks people's hearts' and how he 'hates himself for doing it' I'm not even going to aknowledge it.

HELP!

HELP-one of my favorite Beatles songs ever.
So I left early on Friday (as in 3rd period early) because I was sick- I seem to be sick a lot lately. In first period my Speech teacher made us give '10 things about us speeches'-I wasn't that nervous about it. Do you remember DESTRUCTION guy? Well, he's kind of weird and quiet and sits in the corner. I don't make fun of anyone so I always make people stop when they talk about him. That guy had to go up to say his speech and he said that he's been all around the country "Georgia, Pennslvania, Florida, Newyork." BUT that wasn't enough for my teacher-oh no. Coach had to ask "Oh, did you have a Georgia peach?"
The guy said "Huh?"
Coach "Did you have a girlfriend in Georgia?"
"No."
"In Pennslvania?"
"...No..."
"Florida?"
"no."
"...New York?"
"....no...."
"Do you date at all?"
"no..."

OH MY GOSH! I still cannot believe my teacher did that to him in front of the entire class! He made that guy admit to everyone that he has never had a girlfriend! Poor guy, I feel sorry for him. I mean it's a teenage boy's worst nightmare to admit that to a class-never had a girlfriend=a virgin. NO guy will ever admit to being a virgin (unless they have a purity ring) even the really dorky guys who you know have never even been touched by a girl say they aren't. I just really feel bad for this guy. I hope he didn't do anything drastic.

What I believe in.

Hey Bloggies!
What I've noticed is that my mind is still stuck on the pep talk "What do you believe in?" For some reason you can't admit your deepest beliefs out loud-well at least I cant. But a life where you don't believe in anything is a lonely, depressing life. I took more time to write a list of things I believe in:

1. I believe in Christianity. But I believe that God is a fair one (not fire and brimstone) I believe that God loves everyone-even gay people, sinners, and people of different religions.
2. I believe in the power of words
3. Or the power in one chord
4. I believe that God plans everything out-Mom says I'm crazy to think so-but I do. Things have happened to me that makes me absolutely sure that every single little thing is planned. Everything happens for a reason.
5.I believe that world peace is possible but we'd get too bored if we didn't have any wars to fight.

6. I believe that happiness comes from sadness.
7. I believe people that must suffer in life get a straight ticket to heaven when this is all over.
8. I believe that death isn't the end of our lives.
9. I believe that one smile can save some one
10. I believe there's someone out there for everyone-except me. LOL.
11. I believe in happy endings.

What a random number to stop at right? LOL. Okay so, what do you believe in? Think about it.

Crayola Skies.


Hello Lovlies!
I know your dying to hear the pep talk my Speech teacher gave me this morning. The topic today was 'Beige should be your least favorite color'. Why? Think of beige...plain, ugly, boring. Practically symbolizing a boring life. You don't want a beige life-you want technicolor.

But only you have the paint brush-color your world.


I always described my town as 'The place underneath Crayola Skies' and if you lived here you would understand why. It may be small and boring but it has a sky that is just so beautiful. You can see every sunset and every sunrise. It's like everyday someone paints a picture of the perfect sky -It's gorgeous.

Now onto the shallow version of today's blog: Jake. He's suddenly started trying to talk to me lately. I won't flat out ignore him but I will look the other way if I pass him in the hallway or not answer his occasional 'only if I'm bored' text message. Since yesterday he has shown up a lot more then necessary. Travy and I were walking in the hall when I saw Jake-I prayed he wouldn't see us. Travy cussed "S***, S***, S***-" before Jake jumped on his back. Why was Travy cussing? Because he knows how awkward it is to be around me and Jake now. To tell the truth I don't blame him.

Yesterday, I looked to my left and who did I see staring *JAKE*? This morning when I was sitting at the table with my friends, who walked by 4 TIMES and was about a foot away from me each time *JAKE*? Last night who sent me romantic-ish forward text messages? JAKE!! I think his girlfriend and him broke up. That's probably the only reason why he's talking to me. It seems like I'm being rude to him but I'm really not. He hurt me and I'm not going to let him treat me like that. NO girl should ever be left out to dry. I'll leave on a positive note: I got my wish. The guy I had such a big crush on is now chomping at the bit to talk to me-too bad he's too late. Oh well.

You should smile guys,
Love, Cassidy.

Can you say FAIL?!

FAIL!!!!!!! is the only way to describe the events of today.
So as you saw in my earlier post, I was super happy and confident. Just sure that today was going to be great. Beyond the 20 degree, windy weather and the long bus ride to school-it started out okay. But disastor stuck when I was inside of the school- on the third floor. Travy and I were walking down the hallway when *GASP* to my left was Austin (a.k.a cute vet guy). Of course, I walked by with as much grace as I could manage-LOL. I looked over my shoulder when we were about 20 feet away and I could see that he was LOOKING AT ME! No lie! Austin was looking right at me. So instead of freaking out like an idiot I turned around to face the front. Surprise, surprise I tripped over my own foot and fell FACE FIRST onto the hard ground. And to make matters worse my phone flew out of my pocket when I was midair. So instead of standing back up and walking away with the little bit of dignity I had left-I had to scramble, awkwardly to get my phone! AND AUSTIN WAS LAUGHING AT ME! The one time this guy ever looks at me and I fall to the ground. Wow. SMH!

(P.S. Maggie said I should be happy because he noticed me)Lol.
Love,

Cassidy.



Feelin good:)


In about 20 minuutes I'm going to be leaving to go to school and I am feeling great! My hair actually looks bearable and I'm wearing an outfit that I can 'Kick someone's ass in' Haha I'm using that word way too much . Needless to say I'm feeling confident! I have since the moment my feet hit that floor. I wonder why. Anyway, what was going through my head when I woke up this morning was "Everyone's beautiful-period. Not 'in their own way' not 'inner beauty' JUST beautiful. And every girl deserves a guy (or girl.. I'm not judging) to tell her that. Every girl will find them-it's part of the game." So I have NO idea where that came from but it's the truth, isn't it?
Well I have to go catch the bus! Blog you later!

I believe in: PEACE!

Hello to my lovely Bloggies!
Believe it or not-it's snowing in Texas!! You heard me right- snow in Texas. So we only got 2 inches but that doesn't matter! Whenever it snows we ALWAYS get a 2 hour delay. Which was, for me, two extra hours to make myself all cute like. It seems like this town is getting smaller and smaller by the second. I realized this as I saw a junior drop trow (He pulled down his pants and underwear!) and stuck his bare tush into the snow while his friend recorded it. Lol such classy boys we have roaming the halls of my high school. I can't really blame this guy-it's boring here. They really need to add something we can do in this town. All us teenagers do is hang out at the Whataburger at the side of the highway but the food is expensive and the owner is getting irritated about all of the loiterers. You know, I really want to see someone get arrested for loitering. That would just make my day. It is officially my goal for next year to ALWAYS be busy. Like last year my schedule was always full: Monday-Musical practice(vocals), Tuesday- Guitar Lessons, Wednesday-Musical rehearsals(choreography), Thursday- FCA, Friday- Theatre 2 rehearsals/set design or FCA. I was never home but now it's gone down hill and I spend most of my time at home. So next year I am signing up for everything: FCA, One-Act, French club, Spanish club, Thespian troop, Friends of Rachel, NHS, Student council, The musical-ALL OF IT! And no I will NOT get overwhelmed. Anyway, I have a ton of homework and I probably need to get off because it's *GASP* 9:21! Eh...I can do it later:). Speech homework (blah!). As the new semester rolls in so does my new schedule and I don't have Business Ed. anymore-I have SPEECH. Good thing about my new teacher is the he gives pep talks everyday. Honestly he could be a public speaker because I always feel like a million bucks when I leave his classroom. Today's pep talk was about having something to believe in. He asked us-going down the row "What do you believe in?". Tre said God, Dylan said Himself, Natalie said Friendship, Tony said Love, I said Peace, Jordan said Happiness, and then the strange kid in the back said "DESTRUCTION!". LOL I couldn't help but laughing! That was borderline the funniest thing I had ever heard. This kid was completely serious but I could not stop laughing. "Peace...love...friendship...DISTRUCTION!" Oh wow- these kids are great. Especially the ones who sit in the back corner-which I am now a part of this club. But guess who sits next to me...Scott! Do you remember him? I had a huge crush on him for a long time before he went out with Slutty-McSlut-Slut. We have good times back there but I doubt that crush is ever coming back. EVER. Neither is Todd. Or Jake. Or...I crush on a lot of guys. Speaking of which, I didn't see Cute Vet Guy today and that was depressing. Doesn't he know that I only have a couple more months to see him before he's gone forever? He's just being selfish!! Demi (my friend) said that we're going to have to share him. Uh no! I saw him first! Go get your own super-adorable-cute-vet-guy. I have nothing else to write about so I guess I'll have to stop :( looks like that homework is still there waiting for me. Oh and look at the bottom of the page and see what I brought back!


Love to you all!

Tapping Into My Inner Badass...

So I've been listening to a lot of P!nk lately. She is a bad-ass. I KNOW, I know I'm cussing and it's not like me to do that but it's TRUE. P!nk is a bad ass. And the more I watched her videos the more I realized that I am not. I'm more like...lace and guitar picks. Not leather and red lipstick, ya know? That's shocking because I am a purple belt in karate. You don't believe me? Well, it's true. I have the power to beat the crap out of someone.




I'm making a list of my Badass qualities. I know there are some deep down in there:
1. Purple belt in KAR-A-TE
2.I always wear red nail polish...does that count for something?
Okay...so maybe that's it...

The Young Victoria.

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen :) It's about Queen Victoria. She started ruling when she was only 18 but she ruled for 60 years.
The man in this video is the Belgian Prince Albert. The first time they met, Albert was nervous and awkward because Victoria was so beautiful. Victoria did not feel the same way because suitors came over a lot to see her-she thought of him as just another. But she also thought he was cute and agreed to send letters to him. Expecting nothing more then friendship.
After months of letters and short visits to England Albert decided that he was completely in-love with her.Victoria soon became the queen of England and many scandals came into the picture. Victoria turned to Albert whenever she was in trouble and found herself falling in love with him too. Albert wanted to propose to but he was forbidden....





Victoria proposed to him and they ruled together for 20 years. Albert died at the age 42. Every morning after his death Victoria would lay his clothes out in honor of him-she did it until the day she died.
A sweet, sweet story.



^The actual couple.^

Don't take it so seriously!

So I'm not sure if you guys have heard it yet but- a lot of people are convinced that the world is about to end. There was this article:
On New Year's Eve Day, more than 3,000 dead birds, mostly red-winged blackbirds, were found scattering streets, yards, and rooftops in Beebe, Arkansas, and no one knows why...
Okay so a ton of birds fell out of the sky. Maybe they were in a flock and were hit by fireworks or something? Maybe there was so much smoke and gas from the fireworks that it restricted oxygen? No big deal, right?
Except for the fact that 100,000 dead fish were also found washed up on shore. NOW that is freaky. A bunch of Christians are being taken back by all of this.
A lot of people think that this is the beginning of the Christian Rapture (a.k.a the end of the world). In the bible there are verses that suspiciously connect with what's happening lately.

Like:
Ezekiel 38:20
The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground.
Or
Hosea 4
Hear the word of the LORD, you Israelites, because the LORD has a charge to bring against you who live in the land: "There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land. There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. Because of this the land dries up, and all who live in it waste away; the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea are swept away ..."
Or maybe...
Zephaniah 1:3
"I will sweep away both men and animals; I will sweep away the birds of the air and the fish of the sea. The wicked will have only heaps of rubble when I cut off man from the face of the earth," declares the LORD.
Or maybe even...
Revelation 19:17
And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper of God" ...


THAT'S NOT SCARY AT ALL! And adding onto that: Indiana has been facing earthquakes...like 'the earth trembling, mountains being overturned'. It would be a lie to say that I don't believe in this at all but I'm not going to say I do believe that the world is ending either. So please don't start freaking out over nothing. So be happy and live your life the best you can. Live as if you will die tomorrow. Who cares when it's gonna end anyway?
But just in case- I'm making a bucket list!

Kyle.

So there's this guy
And he is perfect. Yeah, I'm not just saying it: this guy is perfect. He's smart, he's cute, he's Christian, and he's the nicest teenage boy you will ever meet. His name is Kyle. He's the captain of the swim team and like I said HE IS A SWEETHEART. The fact that Kyle is borderline amazing means that he is constantly surrounded by girls. But he's surrounded by 'perfect' girls. They're always happy, always smiling, healthy, pretty, fun to be around, make good grades, all that stuff. So of course I don't stand a chance.
I've only talked to him a couple times. I have one memory of him that replays in my mind: I was walking into the councilors office with Maggie. Kyle was already sitting in the office. When he saw that we were standing there he literally got up, off the couch and said "Here, you guys sit down."
Because I've been blue eyes, I've been black hair,
I've been purple, with superman underwear,
I've been blonde and I've been rosey cheeks,
But none of them compare to those eyes I haven't seen.
Did you like it? Yup, I wrote it. I've been writing a lot lately-as in a NOVEL. I'll talk later.

Welcome to the January Blue Skies.

Happy New Year! And Happy January 2, 2011.
2011, can you believe it? 2010 seemed to go so quickly, like in a flash it was gone. To be honest, I'm sort of happy that 2010 is over would've been the worst year of my life (heck, it probably was). From starting high school and everything that happen after, I wouldn't go back to the first day of school for any amount of money. It was that horrible.
But then again...it was also one of the best years of my life.The world is full of contradictions.
So as the new year comes in you can expect more boys (of course), more drama, and possibly a new Cassidy. I bet you're waiting for a New Years Resolution list. Here it is:
1.Live life to the fullest before 2012 strikes the world dead.
2.Lose some weight
3.Pass Freshman year (God knows I don't want to be a fish next year)
4.Kiss a boy. *doubtful*
5. Around 3 Random Acts of Kindness a day.
6. No soda for 2 weeks.
7. Learn Austin's last name.
8. Make someone smile.



My grandpa Bob left me a sweet email the other day. Bob, is probably the smartest person on the planet. He talks very slow and he adds an 'ah' sound at the end of every other word.
Example: "So, Cassidy-ah. How-ah are you doing-ah in high school-ah?"
Other than that he is a great guy. He's the type of old man that they write country songs about. The wise old man who is always right, that's Bob.
This is what he said:
Wow! A Brand New Year. This is a Special day - Just like a Birthday, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter - It only surfaces once a Year. Key - It's a new beginning.
If you did something right last Year - you get to remember and repeat - But if you made a mistake, it's time to forget the past and live for the future. A New Biginning.
Happy New Year.
Love Always, Grandpa
I smiled at the end when I saw that he accidentally spelled Beginning wrong. It makes him seem more...human, I guess.


So I'll leave you with a text I got from Scott:
"2011: the year before the end of the world. Live it up."
there's something to look forward to...
