Don’t they seem to have all the freedom in the world?
No matter what tabloids, newspaper, and the TV says about them, they can wander around with out fear. But I bet they weren’t always fearless.
No one is born fearless.
Or maybe they do pop in to the world with brave hearts and happy minds, although contradictory to the incessant screaming. But it’s necessary, the screaming is necessary to live.
The celebrities must close their doors and scream, just like their brave baby lungs did when they started life.
I want to be a celebrity, with the paparazzi, the make-up and hair, the beautiful house and wardrobe, the fans chasing after you everyday, the solace of a home away from the world, and everyone talking about me every second of the day.
But even a celebrity has to be good at something to be where he or she is in the first place.
There is no way out of working hard. Gah.
SO I watch a bit of Disney Channel. :]
I think Miley Cyrus’s show is great. It’s pretty funny and cute. But in my opinion…who really makes the show? Jason Earles and Emily Osment (Jackson and Lily).
And for the longest time, I’ve wanted them to be TOGETHER.
My childish dreams come true on November 16th ON NOVEMBER 2nd (Yay!), with the season 3 episode “He Ain’t A Hottie! He’s My Brother!” 
Far away, but yay! I have a feeling the writer saw that it needed to happen. Either that or they read fanfics on the Internet. LOL. Originally I was the “Loliver” fan, because of my natural Ron/Hermione instinct. But, I began to love seeing the two quirky blondies being close, and not just because she’s Miley BFF – their characters have some chemistry!
Disney Channel is the most colorful channel EVER. Holy crud. Look at that lovely Lackson picture I stole from here (Disney True Mania blog). Do you not see the poppin’ colors of the night? I’ll tell you one thing… my pm’s aren’t this bright!
This is a new thing I’ll do regularly, I guess. A compilation of clothes, shoes, accessories, etc, that I like and have stumbled across while wardrobe modifying.

There’s so much. But I’m getting most of this stuff, and more! Whee, I love back-to-school shopping. And everyone’s having sales, and whatnot…Shopping is fun when it’s for me.
Ah, Summer…
WHY DO YOU MAKE ME SO FAT?
Of course, I was always kinda chubby, but not like this! I HAVE GOT TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT. I noticed this a few weeks into summer break. SO I’ve done some research, and there are several ways I can shed some pounds…
1.Exercise: Well, DUH. This one’s the obvious one. But I play basketball, but I walk to the trash can! Not enough. My uncle believes that concentration is everything, so when you exercise to lose weight, you will probably look better in less time. And the best part is, you can still eat food! I personally love food. I can’t really pull off a diet…Believe me I’ve tried. Anyway, the problem is time constraints…right? WRONG! Everyone has free time, they just don’t know it. Find that time of they day where you can fit in a half hour walk or jog. You’ll lose weight and be really healthy, too!
2. Pranayama:Here comes my bit of spiritual wisdom, also brought to me by my uncle and aunt. But it’s not only them that say it. My cousin, who is very pretty, but looked just a little too plump, she did it for three months, and she’s already the happiest person on earth! Well, what did she do? Pranayama is art of breathing. Visit this site- it’s the Youtube account of YogaYak, an online yoga studio! I don’t think these videos are complete, but look at her breathing exercise ones, and you can get the general idea of what you can do. Things like pranayama and yoga also calm your brain down, so you’ll end up being a calm and happy person. :]
3. “Diets”: My least favorite method. Yeah. Well, I think the best way to diet without being unnatural is to eat small quantities, and slowly get your body used to eating less, because that will happen. On the same token, if you’ve gotten thinner and all that, and you begin eating a lot again, you’ll go right back to square one. Also, watch the types of food you eat. Fruits everyday do wonders for your skin – you can see the difference in one day! They also taste delicious. And eat your veggies! That whole idea of vegetables is LEGIT. Completely true. Eating healtier will result in a healthier you. That’s the idea. So go to your nearest Whole Foods and stock up! Haha.
The whole deal with anything is that you need cocentartion of resolv. Otherwise, it can go up in flames, for sure.
I am a teenager.
Isn’t it funny how way back when, the big punishment was “go to your room?” Well, how does that figure, when kids nowadays have TVs, telephones and laptops in their rooms? And that too, rooms don’t have solid white walls and a bed and a desk. Kids and teenagers alike love colouring their space, and making it a home.
This is DEFINITELY my ideal room. Simple and clean. And white and green – my favorite!
Asia lamp theme? Cute room.
Ohh. Princessy.
Messy in a really cool way!
Me encanta baloncesto. Maybe for a boy. But could be for a girl, too!
How pink.
Yeah. Maybe the right punishment is to stay out of your room. ;]

…Is certainly not a human.
Technically, I know, humans are the smartest animals in the world. But who are we to judge? Of course we’ll put ourselves right on top in our own hierarchy of intelligence. We can speak. So can a parrot. We can understand emotion. So can a dog, cat, dolphin, and a whale. And we do all of our testing on rodents.
So, today, I challenge science to speculate whether humans are the definition of intelligence.
There are other living creatures on earth. The fact that our emotions can be percieved on a higher level by a dog than possibly our best human friends is proof itself – we aren’t the height of smartness.
Well, as my sophomore year of high school comes to an end, I have to go through on obstacle before I can reach my vacations.
Final exams.
It’s so mean, having to take these tests before a great summer. We can’t just slip easily into a world of relaxation. However, I see why. We students would have nothing to work for, to achieve, and to aim. School teaches you a lot more than knowledge about the material. It refines your personality, therefore, I actually love school, it allows me to explore the possibilities of my personality. It’s like pick-and-choose who you are, except through destiny.
That doesn’t make so much sense.
Anyway, for one of my finals, I have to do a project about one of the issues in America, and my friend and I have chosen the death penalty. Not that I really care- the class I’m in is a joke, and I’m 95% sure I will get an “A” no matter what. But, really, it is an interesting subject. The death penalty seems so harsh – “cruel and unusual punishment.” There are so many ways one can oppose the use of this penalty. That’s why my assignment is hard- I have to be FOR the death penalty.
On this site, I found reasonsfor why the DP would be refuted. One reason would be that no matter how many are killed, our crime rate here in the US continues to increase. I find this are hard point to create a rebuttal for. It’s totally true. Nobody is afraid of dying. There are all these martyrs out there that don’t care, and then there are the adventurous, taking whatever their life throws at them. (Although, calling people martyrs and adventurous makes them sound better than they might actually be!) And then another is that we may kill someone that is in fact innocent. I can agree, that an innocent person could be killed – I had read an article in the Reader’s Digest not too long ago about a man who was innocent, yet falsely accused and jailed for 30 years until his innocence had been proved. Supposing he had died? That would have been a loss for the family – and, oh- the government would have to a few others to their list of people who might form an anarchist movement.
Yet, is it better that we don’t kill people at all? Some deserve it. Ethically, there are so many people who should never get another chance to live, because of their crimes. If you kill, you get killed right? This is where the death penalty crosses the path of one of the greatest men to walk the earth – Mahatma Gandhi. What did he say, now? “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.” I do wonder what Gandhi would have said if faced witha final project like this. He used non-violence and fought off a powerful nation with words. If someone killed his a loved one, I suppose he wouldn’t have rushed to Indian government and pleaded with them to hunt out the murderer and kill he or she, too.
Ahh. I picked a hard prompt. Here I am, making a good arguement for the other side!
Now, I just have to find a way to say the opposite. Pah.
WIsh me luck.
