Relationship Map

Relationships nowadays go a little somethin like this: being initially attracted to someone or "liking someone" if you will, getting to know this one person more, getting sooooo dang happy that this awesome-ass person is in your life and wants you. Then you get into the bliss, which is a nice, happy-go-lucky, lovey-dovey relationship full of kisses and rainbows. Then, you come out of the relationship high and actually look at what's goin on and it's like, "Who are all these people trying to flirt with mah man??? Were they there before?". Then it's like grrrrrrrr, I'm jealous because I love this person so much and even though he's not even doing anything with anyone else, I'm still jealous. Then, your dude is like what the helllll is wrong with her, I'm not doing anything. Then you kiss him and it's all better. It goes more into the happy rainbow relationship and during this period, it goes like this:

:D Your really happy; everything's good again


:) This is goin good; This person's still for you


:[ What? No of course not. He's not cheating on me.


:( He couldn't; He wouldn't


>:'( How could he.


:'( Maybe it'll change


You come to the moment where you have to ask yourself, "Are you gonna be the grumpy little party pooper in this relationship and be lame and end it or are you gonna dream that this person is still yours?" Some choose to end it, which ends up in a no-contact situation with their ex and others choose to stick it out and get dumped, even though deep down they knew it was time. The worst-case thing that could possibly happen is, after getting dumped, you and your ex no longer talk and your in this awkward mess where one doesn't know what to say to the other. Even though all one of them wants to say is "What's up? How've you been? How's your life? What's going on?". Nothing more. It's not like we're gonna gang up on him and beat him into a brick wall and be like "WHY'D YOU DUMP ME BEEEEEYOTCH?!". They just wanna be able to talk, see how your doing, see if they needa talk to someone and know that you are always listening. It's so simple, so why can't I even say hi?

[This is an actual excerpt from my actual diary that I actually started writing in again...actually.]

10/11/10
Dear Mysterious Diary Person who never reveals who he is,
As I reach the peak of graduation, the question comes up many a time of what I want to do for the rest of my life and the golden answer is: PERFORM. Yesss, I have observed how much utter joy I have in saying clever things and people listening or laughing. AND OF COURSE being on stage. I love it. I think even if I sucked balls at dance and performing, I'd still do it. I can't wait to tear up the stage for the Christmas Play >:). We need the new script!!! Music and Singing is my other after school program and I love it to death
a) because all my friends are in it ('cept Danielle :'( ) and
b) I FREAKING LOVE MUSIC!
Ohmigosh, I love it! I would literally die without music.
I'm very happy and lucky to have the friends, life, and personality I have. Is it perfect. . . ehhh c'mon. Nothing can be perfect But is it pretty dang good? In my opinion Hell yah!





Gosh, I sound so conceited! Hahaha! Geeze, Meg! Welp, there you have it. I cross my heart, I didn't change anything from the capitalization to the grammar this was all in my 'sofisticat' diary that I've had since I was 10. Wait'll ya hear them when I was 10!!!

Magic...and mischief of all kinds the same...
Please use your talents to fix me my love game.
For he is special... he forever will make me smile.
But I’ve been waiting for a while.
So now I come to you today... and request the bird of love.
Yes, this is what I need... a simple guidance white dove.
Send to him the sweetest of thoughts... and yes of only me.
Do not fail! For this is the answer to my plea.
7 times I rip thy heart... this is the feeling of when we’re apart.
7 times I rip heart mine... to bind our souls with love divine.
Our hearts become one. And now the magic’s almost done.
The love will only begin when thrown into fire, our hearts must be.
For only then it begins to beat, with my inevitable love with he.

Much Magical Love,
MNT

I'm giving my blog a makeover for Halloween time! Whaddu ya think?!

Motown=MNTtown!!!

Another year of school means another year of stuff, and I mean A LOT of it including 8th grade drama, student council, dance, all my sister's stuff, annnnd music and singing (or glee). The past two weeks we've been going over the motown era of music, and what a mighty era it was! Breaking up into small groups, we formed ourselves after our chosen song, Where Did Our Love Go by The Supremes. I don't know about you, but this era of music sure is addicting (and NO I'm not gushing over it because The Jackson 5 were big then... mostly xP). Anyways, the only bad part about all this wonderful wonderful stuff is that I have no time to blog=(. I'm terribly sooorry! YouTube motown hits and tell me whatcha think! Mwah!

Much Love,

English Paper

Islamic Community Center being Built Near Ground Zero Debate: Pro
By: Megan N. Tierney


An Islamic community center including a mosque is said to be built two blocks away from the Ground Zero memorial site in New York City, New York. Many controversies have flared up in this topic and it's an extremely difficult choice on which way to think about this incident. After pondering everything as much as I could, I came to conclude that I accept this idea in America, however I find it only necessary to put myself in both positions and then give the reason of my acceptance for this community center.

I can completely understand the reason people are upset about this project being built where it is planned, about two blocks away from Ground Zero. The radical-Islamic terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11th, 2001 caused a surge of the most negative frenzy in America that we only see in the movies. Sadly, many parents, daughters, sisters, brothers, dear friends, grandparents, aunts and uncles, excreta, all had to face the harshest reality that a dearly loved one is dead. Not only dead, but murdered out of an act of violence, hatred, and pure unjust from another human being. It is a touchy subject for many families to this day and the years to come. So, why then build an Islamic community center two blocks away from the site?

Charles Wolf has called it “an example of American tolerance”. I do understand his words and it certainly would basically show America “being the bigger man” but I don't think that's the entire reasoning for going through with this community center. I first thought of how many Muslims were against these terrorist attacks in the name of their religion. How ashamed we all felt, including Muslims. Islamic religion is a peaceful, loving religion whose followers are to be a person of deep faith, following the script of the Holy Qur’an. Certainly, 9/11 was not something that many Muslims held their head high over. I believe if people go about their business and handle the reality of the community center in an adult-like manor, people wouldn't make such a big fuss over a basic American right. Although, how likely is it that we as opinionated people in America will stay quiet about it. There are almost inevitably will be protesting problems in the area, which is very unfortunate because I believe there to be nothing wrong with the location of the community center. The victims of 9/11 will be commemorated in the hearts and minds of many families in there own memorial site (it's not as if they're building the community center directly on Ground Zero). To those who deem the Islamic community center a disrespectful jeer to the memorial site of 9/11, I couldn't very well say your opinion is wrong. I simply find myself in the position of being a pro in this subject. From all my research, I also feel I'm standing a bit out-numbered.

I believe that the Muslim community has the same right as any Americans to build a place for worship, community, and play. It is, after all, a community center. It's just a place for having fun for the Muslim community. I don't think the Muslims should be automatically judged because of circumstances in the past that they might not have been agreeing to.

I think I came out in Glitter.

Alright, I have a confession to make. My name is Megan N. Tierney and I am obsessed with glitter. I recently bought a roll-on body glitter for shows and it's awwwweeesome! And it smells like lemon! I'm glad to get that off my chest:). Annnnd, I've added a new goal to my bucket list, to perform here at this beeeautiful theatre (although, I'm not quite sure where here is):


















I'm sorry I haven't been posting as much at all but school started! Yeah, I know O.O. CHRISTMAS PROGRAM '10 BETTA WATCH OUT, CHEYA! Ahhh, life is full of chim chimeries if you look hard enough ;D

Reflection

Finally, at half past two,
My mind sails peacefully away to sleep.
Peaceful journey but horrid outcome.
A room of black,
Except for the glimmering silver mirror.
What a gorgeous mirror,
As if made from silver snow and rain.
Walking towards it makes you feel weightless.
But when looking into it,
Bricks begin to replace your feet.
Who is that girl?
Who's confused reaction is starring back at you?
As I put my hand up, so does she at the exact same time.
Could it be?
Could it be that I don't recognize my own self.
Enough of this!
And the mirror finally shatters into trillions of pieces.
As the mirror breaks, so do I from unconsciousness.
A dream.
It was just a dream.
Just a nightmare.
As I walk to my own mirror and peer through,
The reflection is someone I know and love.
Never again shall a beautiful mirror turn me into my own stranger.

Frenching

Nope, not kssing with tounge. I'm talking about french braiding your hair. My cousin's girlfriend Queenly once did a beautiful mermaid tail braid and it just looked sooo good! I liked it so much, I kept it in 3 days I think. And when I shook it out, I had such beautiful curls. However, my hair has changed. I decided to get short layers for whatever reason which I do like but no more braids
:(. If I did it with my layers, it comes out lookin like a rats nest. I like to do braid pigtails and what I call "Native American" style which is one side of my front layers I make a little braid and pin it to the back of my head and on the other side, I do a fatter braid with the longer parts of my hair without layers. But still, no french braiding. Hopefully, I will learn. I've gone on YouTube to look for tutorials and let me tell ya something, it is waaaay harder than it looks for someone who's never done it before. Huuuuuh, awell. On the plus side, I made a new hairbow for my 1st day of school on the 18th!


What's your guy's favorite hairstyles or accessories?

Much Lub,

Ps
That's not my hair or anyone I know's hair in the picture. That is just a random picture from Google Images so yall could get a visual.

A Shot of Blog

Since it is approximately 8:30 in the morning and I am upstairs with my computer until lunchtime (don't ask), I decided to search up "card dress" in Google Images. Here's what caught my eye:

















I clicked into it and it turns out, the woman who made this was a fellow blogger. Her blog name is Robin Barcus Slonia ARTWORK "States of Dress" so go check her out so I don't feel like a jerk for showing her work without her permission. I found two others that really made me smile so here they are ta-daa!




The Beach Ball Dress






















And for the grand finale, The Easter Egg Dress















Nice right? That'd be an awesome Halloween costume. I'm flippin' out about what to be this year cause I wanna make my costume or find it at some nobody-knows-about vintage store. Anyways, I'll be here all morning like I said so I'll be all over the internet. Ohmigosh, it's so early=(.


Much Tired Love,

I didn't know what to title this post and 'A Shot of Blog' sounds like a gross kind of scotch.

In the Citaaaaaay w/ Peter Pan Review

On Saturday July 24th, me and the gang (except daddy, I don't know why) went to none other than San Francisco to watch Peter Pan under the big regal white tent near Embarcadero (I hope I'm spelling that correctly) Center. First off, I absolutely love the city. I don't know why but I've always love 'Frisco since before I can remember. I like how you feel so small and all the pretty colors and lights and birdies! There were a bunch of little vendors outside of the Theatre tent and one where we found the most beautiful mask for my sister! Oh, I wish I had a picture to show you:(! Anyways, just try to imagine a deep deep green with sheet music and notes on the cheeks with an old Italian bridgeway for the gondalas and SPARKLIES!!! I think I was sold on the sparklies. So then we went on a tour of the Peter Pan production with all the behind the scenes stuff which was very interesting and made me wanna read the book so bad (I already requested it at the library though, so we're all good). Then we went shopping at the 3 story Forever21 where I found the cuuuuutes pair of shoes EVER in my lifetime which will be my new school shoes (for $12 mind you), and a slouchy red stripe top for $8 which made me happy happy happy! And finally at 7 o'clock p.m, it was showtime.

I don't think I blinked once through the whole thing. The actors were phenominal. Personally Peter was the absolute best Peter there could possibly be. I do say, you automatically just fall victim to his charm and performance. And Wendy was extremely fantastic as well. Peter and her worked so well together. And who could forget Tinkerbell??? She was played by a beautiful-yet-inpronouncable-named gal and did and absoluetely outstanding performace. You could always tell that she was very loving of Peter and she cared for him more than anything else while he starts to show Neverland to his new friends. Plus, you could always see the jealousy between Tink and Wendy, but it was always innocent. You really start to fall in love for these characters and become a child again, even though, I've always been one ;). I don't want to give too much away but I highly reccommend it because I absolutely (gosh 4 times I used the word "absolutely"? Really?) loved it but then again, I love everything I see. Right now, I have gone into hermit mode and hid myself away in my room listening to the soundtrack which of course, I love . And I should be getting the book by JM Barrie when school starts. Can't wait to go to another production!!! I'm such a theatre dork.

Much Love,

Yes piano! Pleeeeeease!

Okay, I am on a mission right now. I really Really REALLY with a passion wanna learn to play the piano. So far, all I've done is search on YouTube how to play certain song with Synthesia. I get a little but I can't play chords and play at the same time and I wrote a song on sheet music buuuut... let's just say I'm not quite sure if it's right. I was looking online this evening and found a site called www.RocketPiano.com (I wish I could put a link but I tried and failed AGAIN) and I thought it looked pretty straight-forward. Sooooo check it out real quick and tell me, do you guys think I should buy it???


Help Meh and Much Love,

We got an iPod Touch, that I'm so very greatful for!






























WE'RE GONNA SEE THE PETER PAN PRODUCTION IN 'FRISCO!!!


























Annnnnnnd, we're going to have tea with my Tia Connie, Grandma Mimi, mother, my sis, and myself.































So far, that's about it. I talked about Disney already so I didn't wanna blab about that again. That's the really recent stuff. I'm uber excited about them all. I love summer. Lazy nights with a Harry Potter equals bliss!

Much Love,

Dreams Come True...

They do... when you wish upon a star. I just came back from the Happiest Place on Earth. Yup folks, I finally went to Disneyland!!! My mother, sister, and I stayed for six days and I have absolutely no shame in saying I LOVE DISNEY SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! Disneyland is magical. But, I think only the people who believe can really understand what I'm talkin' about. Once you see the Mickey Mouse in the flowers at the gates of Disneyland, something just changes in you and it gives you the opportunity to enter a world wher you can commonly find a princess, pirate, mermaid, or even a mouse. I am a believer in the Disney Magic. Always have been, and probably always will be. Besides the magic, what about the love? It radiates agains the walls of Disney. Every little sparkle of magic and hope is trapped inside of it. I simply have to get married there. We watched Fantasmic and World of Color for the first time, which was absolutely breathtaking. It choked me up a bit when they played 'So Close' sung by Jon Mclaughlin (don't know what I'm talking about? YouTube it.) If one man could do this... it just gives me such inspiration. I'm gonna go far. I have to! It's what I was meant to do. Even though I always feel I'm going, I'm living... sometimes reality seems so far away. Hey! Just like the lyrics to the song, "So close, yet so far." Believe in the magic, you guys. And don't haunt things against people. Life's too short to spend it upset. Ending on a quote (which I really like to do nowadays) Ahem, perhaps it's familiar,

"To all who come to this happy place; welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future."
-Walt Disney

I think I'm going to paint that in gold in my room =D. Toodle-loo for now!

New Phone First Look: Pantec Reveal

I recently got my phone, Pantec Matrix stolen so AT&T had sent me a new one quite shortly. I was expecting another Matrix but apparently they don't make them anymore or there were no more models or something or other. So instead they sent me the Pantec Reveal. It's another basic sliding messaging phone. The feel of it first out of the box was a bit different from my Matrix. It had a plastic backing which is good because it wont cause fingerprints but then again it's not very luxourious. The front look is the screen and basic numerical buttons along with a messaging shortcut, clear button, and pick up and exit calls. Very light-weight, but i hadn't put part of the backing in yet. It was very simple to slide open. It would slide and sort of lock into place very quickly and with a good force, opening up to a full QWERTY keyboard. The keys were a bit more spaced together for my taste. When typing it was a kind of clickety-clack but thats alright. Can't wait to actually turn it on! My mom wont give it life until I complete 10 pages of math. Only 7 more to go!

A cappella

A cappella. The wikipedia definition is:

"music is solo or group vocal or singing without instrumental sound"

I had been on my normal YouTube music rush, going through EVERYTHING (and I do mean everything) that has any type of musicality to it and I stumbled upon a favorite song of mine, "So Much in Love" by All for One. There are singing this in a cappella the whole way through acompanied by snapping and that whimsical chime thingies. That's it. And the way they harmonize is just beautiful. It got me thinking about how much talent it takes to perform a cappella. You'll need crazy perfection in vocals to get it just right, obviously but also in timing. One falty note coming from one person could really make or break the song. NSYNC also is a very gifted a cappella group. So, I TRIED to add a few links for you to check out what I have been, BUT I FAILED. So just type the names into YouTube, I'm sure it's gonna be about the first result. Leave your opinion and comment to me. Aren't these awesome?!

Much Love,

Lion Burgers YUMMM!

Owner of 'il Vinaio' restaurant in Arizona, Cameron Selogie had dreamed to give his customers a "South African Expirience" during the World Cup. And how exactly does he do this? He decided to use lion's meat in his burgurs. He'd mix in the lion's meat with the ground beef. Yeah, he surely couldn't have...oh, I don't know... changed the interior of his restaurant or redecorated. Nope, this genius decided to make lion burgurs. It just sounds weird, right. Lion burgers. This guy ordered 10 pounds of lion's meat from some middle-of-nowhere farm in Illinois but don't worry! He reasearched the place to make sure they were humane. Yes, it's very humane of you to buy lions meat in the first place. And how the heck did this little farm in Illinois get the meat? And then, all these animal activist got on his case. These guys were seriously pissed off too! Selogie had gotten a bomb threat on the restaurant and over 150 e-mails from protesters. And what he said to them was that african lions are on the protected list not the endangered list, duh! That just makes it all the more better, right? I would be mad too if I realized some smart-ass was puting lion's meat in our burgurs! That just disgusting. I wonder what it tasted like? I wonder if he even told these people that, "Hey, by the way, we've added a new ingredient to our burgers." The people are chewing on it right now and say all concerned, "What?" He just smiles and says, "It's lions meat." And this is where the customer spits. Did he change up the kids menu too? Instead of chicken fingers, lion fingers!!! Geeze this story was really dumb when I heard it. Bottom line: You don't put lions meat into people's food! I don't think they'd be very appriciative. If you want a "South African" feel to your restaurant, get a decorator!

Book Updates

I was so very pleased I finally got to splurge on new reads for myself at Boarders with my gift cards from Christmas! First book I got was Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen for about six bucks I think it came up to. And the second was a beautiful hardcover picture scrapbook of Michael Jackson through the years. I absolutely loved looking at the pictures because when I did, there were three generations admiring them including my grandma, my mother, and myself. It takes a mighty special someone to carry enjoyable music from generation to generation and Michael can do that plus so much more. I hate going to boarders because I can never decide on what I want to read! I wish to buy them all. I was originally looking for a book called Theater Geek but I could never find it. And then I got side-tracked by the plays and Les Misrebles and what not. Geeze, Boarders is like my Playland.

Much Love,

CAUTION: Dark poetry ahead!

I just realized I haven't written a poem in quite some time! And I had originally promised to satisfy your poem-tooth and gosh darnnit, I should keep my word. This is really rough but enjoy! (I'm making up fake characters. Desaray is a demon in a form of Hell. Beelzebub is the devil. In this poem, the person is sort of falling and jumping. While doing this, she sees glimpses of Hell but then makes it to Heavan.)


Silence engulfs me,
Tears brim.
And I start to wonder what could've been.
What did I do?
What did I say?
What have I caused, only my dismay.
Desaray.
Who is she?
She is hiding with a key.
A black key, at that.
Locked under a hat,
Waiting to bring you down.
Beelzebub smiles.
Shudders run down.
But too little too late,
I'm gone with a pound.
A mere simple pound of the beat of my heart,
As cold as stone,
No life on the chart.
But as I become gone, I enter to a haven.
Guided by friends and the little black raven.
All is okay, I know to be true.
For whenever I look up, the skies are blue.

This Is It

It truly is. Last day of school tommorow. No, I am not sad BECAUSE it hasn't even sunken in that I won't get to see my dorks seven hours a day, 5 days a week anymore. I loooooooove them with all my heart! They are my family, no doubt about it. I hope they remember this year because we learned a lot. I truly hope they remeber what Mr. H said. He told us the truth and it's sad to see him move on to the next class. He is incredible and guess what guys: whatever he does (lectures and punishing us included), he's doing it because he loves us. I will miss him very very much including all my class. We added 4 lovely newcomers to our family (Celia, Alli-Gee, Rahul, and Ryan) and fortunantly they fit right in! We love them and I hope in time, they love us right back! There is a road ahead, and ours will always meet in the center. It blows my mind to see time traveling this fast. In literally a blink of an eye, it became the of the year. This is scary. I'm running out of time to let everyone know I love them and will never forget about them. They will forever be part of my heart and I'd walk a thousand miles for them. We've seen losses in our year, we've seen gains. I've felt something I've never felt before, but most importantly I think it's the tears we shed together that multiply into the utmost form of love, and it just warms my heart. I love you, point blank. Thank you for putting up with my silliness. I write this as the pettiest form of recompense. You all deserve a thousand words. Ending on a quote,

“How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?”

All the Single Ladies

So today was a bit of a roller coaster day. My beau and I of quite a while decided to break up. He was my 1st boo and 1st kiss so o'course I was a bit upset (he was lovely by the way) but then again I want him to be happy and it just wasn't with me. Fortunantly we can still be freinds. He was very considerate of how I felt. I'm sorry I wasted his time. And who knows what the future holds. But I am 100% perfectly perfect with being fwends. And I'm happy I'll get to see him in High School. It kinda made sense we cut the strings because he's graduating tomorrow (Friday, June 4th) and I still got a year. You know what's funny? I prayed to God last night "my Lord, whatever happens with him, I know it's in your hands". So, I suppose there has to be something there. I will (quote from my teacher) "build a bridge and get over it". But I did care about him very much, and still do but as a freind. So a very sincere buhbyee I wave to the past, and a whole lot of opportunities I now can start ponderin' at.

Can't be Tamed? Obviously. . .

Oh Miley. I just recently watched "Can't be Tamed" by Miley Cyrus music video on YouTube. I suppose the song speaks for itself. This was a whole other level of Miley that her fans have never seen. For better or for worse? Well for worse...
1. She was definitely more exposed than any of her previous costumes.
2. She danced suggestively with both male and female dancers in a cage (I recall toward the beginning of the video a male dancer putting his hand on Miley's chest and her slapping it away).

But then again, there's always some better...
1. The concept of the vidoes was fantastic without all the exposure and uncalled for sexualness
2. The set design was also georgeous and I liked the vintage "King Kong" feel at the beginning.

I wonder if she thought of the concepts herself. If she did, brava! I like the way she thinks. But personally, the choreography for Miley dancing solo was a bit too boring for my taste. And when dealing with a large group of dancers, you MUST make sure that everyone is on point on the same counts. I think Miley could've handled much more difficult dance moves and perhaps she needs to get rid of a few of her backup dancers. What was kind of funny to me was that she was always dancing suggestively with girls around. This vidoe has caused a lot of different opinions to come out in the comment section not to mention a whole heck of a lot of hits (14,297,772 so far). I think people with all these negative comments are seeing this through the eyes of the 'Hannah Montana' era (including myself, I can't lie). We are thinking that her younger group of Hannah fans certainly would be surprised to see her this way (not to mention their mothers!). I do remember that Miley has been trying to inch away from Disney for quite some time now. That, I do not think is very kind considering that they're the ones who gave you all this success. But who am I to speak. I do not know what battles they've had with Disney, or even troubles behind miss Hannah Montana. I miss the old Disney! I'm talkin' the best of the best Disney cartoons people! I don't think Walt would be very happy with what Disney Channel has turned into. And I dont think Miley's daddy, Billy Ray Cyrus would be very happy with the video.

"Hey. I'm in the area. Wanna meet up?"

When someone asks you that that you met off facebook, you should say no. When someone texts you that, there's a problem for mainly one of two reasons. Ahem:
1. THATS FREAKING WEIRD
Common sense, right? My sis is dealing with one of the worst stalkers in the history of stalking. I can already tell he's like 52 with his fingers on the keyboard in one hand and some sort of drug in the other. Damn, the world's full of little nasties, isn't it? Well, if you'll excuse me, I have to go verbally save my big sister throught a text message to the creep. This should be good.

Much Love,

'Summer lovin' had me a blast'

"Summer lovin' happened so fast!" oh, Grease has been on a continuous loop inside my head. Speakin of summer lovin', I found some great deals at the mall on summery items.
Picture #1: Zebra burnout Tee at Aeropostale for 10$!!! (I got some orange dance shorts for the same price but the picture's not included)
Picture #2: Wakiki Sunset romper at Forever 21 for about 10$ too!!!

I was very happy with my buys and I just wanted to share them real quickly. But seriously people, you'll find the cutest things for the cheapest prices if you look hard enough. I should be doin' math right now 'cause I've got a ton of it but I took the time to write this. Yeah, YOUR WLCOME. Actually, It should be I thanking you. You gave me a reason to get out of math=).

Much X's and O's,

Life + Love = Hapiness

"My whole life has changed,
Since you came in, I knew back then.
You were that special one,
I'm so in love, so deep in love.
You make my life complete,
You are so sweet,
No one competes.
Glad you came into my life,
You blind me with your love.
With you I have no sight."

Ahhhhh love <3. That was 'Differences' by Genuwine. Lub lub luuuub it! It makes you feel all floaty inside. Wellllll, it's so lovely yet extremely sad to say summer is ticking closer. Lovely because... well it's summer and extremely sad because I'll have to say buh byeee to one of the best things that ever happened to me. No lie. I have been so happy since the very first dance in November. Right after we danced to... GASP Differences!!!!!! He asked me, and basically I've been on Cloud 9 since then. But I s'pose it's not like he's dying. I'll at least get to text him. But still, it's not the same as having my arms wrapped around him. A very wise person told me (yes, I'm talkin to you Ria) "Hold onto him." Well honey, I'd glue him to my side if I could. Although I don't think that's legal. I grown so much in my feelings for him. And though people say I'm shy about him (which I am, I wont lie. He's frickin georgeous!)theres something they don't see. A lovely little look he gives me. One we exchange throughout the day. And I know that there is something there. I'll be there till the day he tells me to get lost. Cross my heart.
More and more things are just getting out of hand in the world, period. When was the last time you heard something good on the newscast? For anyone reading this: be sure to share a smile. That's all we need sometimes. Better yet, why don't we just love. Life's too short to stay upset with things. Life + Love = Happiness. Don't cha get it?

Shut up, Costume!!!

Oh, that is disgusting. As I put my costume away in the closet, my eyes drift to the metalic hot pink and white polka dot latex leotard/skirt with the matching belt and shimmies (actual picture up above although, it's missing some pieces). . . AKA Recital costume for 2006. . . AKA the one I never wore because I was sick. And this STUPID costume is haunting me in the closet. As I run my finger over every sparkly rhinestone, it says in a taunting voice "Your such a wimp! I cannot believe you didn't wear me because of a simple sickness! Pathetic!!!". It is literally shouting at me. And this dance was glow-in-the-freaking-dark. The way the stage manager sets that up is brilliant. And how ironic: my sister danced a glow-in-the-dark segment in one of her performances this past review. That should have been my Glow, sis! That's my dark! Awwwell. Still, this darn costume is more annoying than Fred on YouTube.
I felt so so awful sitting in my sick bed the night of recitals. Mother had been on a rush of driving here and there and asked me (with absolutely no compassion at all)
"Are you sure you can do this [perform. She meant perform]?" I was hesitant at first, terrified she would get mad at me. So I merely brimmed my eyes with tears and pouted, looking at her. I expected a little too much. I expected her to sweet-talk me and say it was okay and make me lie down and put a thermometer in my mouth. But instead, all I got was an unsympathetic,
"I know." followed by the coldest hug you could ever imagine. It made me even sicker especially considering the fact that Mrs. Gentry would have to fill my spot onstage. I'm always in the front! That whole year we practiced where we'd be on stage, our smiles, even our mess-ups. And now, I wouldn't even have the chance to put on nylons, makeup, hairspray, the works! My taps were really mad at me too. They had worked so hard all year, getting everything right. And there I sat on recital night eating Goldfish crackers, taps away in their bag. It just was completely awful timing for a cold. Don't get me wrong! I'm not dissing my mother. Ha, the thought. But sadly, those little hurtful things stuck in my mind. My mind. . . and every single polka dot in that costume.

REALLY NOW?!?!

(I highly recommend you finding the video on YouTube so you could get a better drift of my words unless perhaps you had heard the story on the morning news)

A group of five girls at the age of seven performed a "controversial" jazz number to Beyonce's 'Single Ladies' at the World of Dance Competition. Starting off on a good note, you could see they had fantastic talent and potential in the dancing career. Personally, I absolutely loved they're flawless pirouette's. It's just too darn bad these girls COMPLETELY TRASHED THEMSELVES at an international gathering. I have been a jazz dancer since I was five and trust me, this was far different from any routine I ever performed at the age of seven, mind you. This is literally what they were wearing:
1. Dance kick pant w/ promiscuous ruffles
2. A spaghetti-strap mid-drift bra
3. And a pound of makeup.
The makeup however, I can understand. Dancers are required to wear a lot of makeup because if you don't, the stage lights completely block you out. But people: those darling little girls could have pulled off an (ahem) less revealing costume and still would have done amazing. But as if the costume weren't enough, right? Well apparently, whomever choreographed this dance needed to add some gyrating and down-right dirty moves for these seven-year-old girls to perform at the World of Dance. Now, I don't blame the girls. They probably didn't have a clue that what they were doing was wrong. You can tell they are having fun onstage, which of course is what dance is all about. I blame the people *cough parents cough cough* who encourage them to perform this way, leading their potentially spectacular dancing future into all the wrong directions. What bothers me the most is that this routine was performed at the World of Dance Competition, meaning different types of dances from around the world, all beautiful in their own way with talent bursting from the performers. And then we have this little number. Again I say, they were amazingly talented (in fact, I was quite jealous of all their non-stripper/porn star moves) but... there's a line when it comes to basic human modesty. Considering their age and everything else I mentioned, I do believe that the line was crossed. I hope this is not what the world thinks of when they hear "jazz dancing" nowadays. Jazz dancing can be absolutely wonderful and razzle-dazzle, without all the ass-poppin' and what not. So all I need to say is, this is certainly NOT the way dancers should be turning into for the youth of our country.

Love Past the Bars

-A fictional story through the eyes of one prisoner and finding love in the most unlikely places: Alcatraz Penitentiary-

Chapter 1
Ticking, as if on a coaster at Coney Island; I walk in, turn around, and BANG right in my face followed by the musical jingle of hard, rough keys. And just like that, I had been locked in Solitary Confinement in Alcatraz Penitentiary. Let me take you to where this all started; the day was April 17th, 1942. We was at lunch in the dining hall, also known as the most dangerous place in all of Alcatraz. Not so much the dining hall, but the kitchen. The bastard says to me,
"Frank, you've got yourself a letter." No one had written me since the very first day I entered this hell hole. Addressed on the front of the letter was 'Susan Ardell'. That was my mother-in-law. What the hell was she writing me for? She hated my guts ever since I married Catherine. Oh, my sweet Cathrine. She had visited me about two months back for the seventh time. I've been counting. I had no idea what her mother wanted from me, but I was about to find out. I opened the damned thing nonchalantly. And I swear to god, the letter looked exactly like this, plain as day:

Frank,
Catherine is dead. She died in a car crash just this morning. We'll have her funeral Thursday. Have fun in there, you son of a bitch. You ain't gonna have any visitors now.

Susan A.

I sat there looking at the letter quivering in my hand, and I started crying uncontrollably like a baby. Howled, I did, cradling my stomach as if I were to fall apart. My love is dead. That ain't true! It just can't be. I can still smell her perfume, musty and rosy on every blonde curl on her head. Sweet as honeysuckle that girl is... was. The men point at me and jeer.
"Aye, whatsa madder, Frank?"
"Ya, Frankie? What? Did you look in the mirror for the first time?"
"Don't tell me, yo mamma dead, ain't she?" They all laughed. Heartless bastards. By then, I had lost it. Too late, fellas. I had lost it long ago. They just reminded me of who I was. I ran to the kitchen passing them cooks and grabbed the butcher knife. I don't even remember how it happened, but I ended up hackin' old Mack (from that day known on as the "Hacked Mack" incident). And that's how I ended up here in this box. And I'll never see Catherine again?! What's to live for? At least they can't take away no memories o' mine.

Addict by MNT

I'm addicted to the glitter.
I'm addicted to the lights.
I'm addicted to the positions.
I'm addicted to the fight.
I'm addicted to the feeling of all eyes on you.
I'm addicted to what I can do in my shoes.
I'm addicted to the sounds that come from my feet.
I'm addicted to the life that forms in the beat.
I'm an addict, just like any other.
I'm addicted to the stage.
So much it makes me shudder.

My Imagination

In my sand box, a big wave comes and washes things away.
All that's left is a shiny new day.
But to my utter dismay,
A pirate ship has come my way.
Boom, cannons fire.
I hide in the choir.
The choir?
I can't even sing.
No matter!
I'll just think up a new thing.
A ring!
No, quite wrong.
Instead...well, I'll think of something.
Perhaps to fly.
It's much much nicer than those pirates.
I'll fly away to Peppermint Bay!
Until tomorrow, I suppose.
Good thoughts your way!




Author's Note: Good gosh, I HAVE gone crazy! Haha, no this was just a quick thing in my mind I thought I'd write down. Plus, I haven't blogged in quite a while now that school's back in swing. It may be because I have been have a little battle with something, I'm sure some of you have it. When I'll type or write letters and numbers, they come out a bit differently in my head. In fact, I had to re-type a lot of this post, much like I always do. And I struggle with math homework now because from bringing an answer from my scratchbook to the actual work, I'll switch my thoughts around and put the answer down as a different number. It's very hard to explain. My head just doesn't cooperate with math. It's more of a...well, you read the poem up there;). I love you and thanks for your time. Follow me, dear. I'm in desperate need of followers.

Much Love,

Paranormal Tales

I can't help but be interested in paranormal entertainment, where ever it may be. On the television, through stories, or just the thought. But as I watch yet another paranormal program on the T.V, it's become a bit ridiculous. The deep-voiced narrator tells the story of a ghost named Lilly who was born and died in an asylum. The narrator tries to spice up the story using terrible words to scare you even more when in fact, I'm sure this Ghost of Lilly is much less of a fright than he says. I believe it best to leave certain spirits alone. They don't belong here. I hope that all ghost can eventually pass because if it were I, I certainly would not wish to be here on earth when i die (knock on wood). Still, I can't help but be fascinated by these eerie yet some-what fiction stories. Then again, they might only feel fiction.

Times Broken!

It's almost funny how, for such a bold personality, how gently he handles my hand.
I can't picture life next year without... love.
I suppose that's a bit melodramatic.
But still, it will never be the same.
And to think for past yester-years, I wasted time.
No the hourglass is running out of sand.
As I look at the clock, the hands spin faster and faster until they tangle together.
Oh no! Times broken!

Summer Words

Long cold days, past remember.
Carried my last December.
All the rest be bright and warm.
Except those days that take take cold form.

Touch the Night

In the blackest of night,
You are never in Darkness.
You look above and find stars.
Shooting.
Or rather, planets.
Your that close.
It's not that far away.
Reach out and touch.
Touch the Night.

This'll make you say Awwwww!

WONDERLAND TWIST!!!!!!

Wonderland Twist
By: Megan N. Tierney


How loud it could be, sitting so quietly,

As I ran my fingers over the flowers.

How soft twas the touch of unkept wild grass,

With dew-dropped blades cutting like glass.

I was startled to find I wasn’t alone.

Why, he had been with me all on his own.

I had not asked yet there he was,

Brushing my face with his soft furry fuzz.

The cat’s smile was crazed and dizzy,

His outlook on life a little bit fizzy.

He smiled his sin,

A sinful grin,

And suddenly, I deeply missed home.

He gestured to come, to follow his path,

All the way out to the hole.

I peeked but once in,

And down went my chin,

Carrying the rest of me whole.

Down I fell, for hours and hours,

And finally, stop. Abrupt.

Quick and easy.

Falling for hours had made me quite queasy.

I turned and observed a gate iron and wrought,

This be the gateway to folly.

Why behind this door is none other than,

The magical wonders of Wonderland.

A circle with no center.
A cake with no middle.
A heart with no love.
A hand with no touch.
An eye without sight.
An empty box.
An unopened letter.
A classic never publish.
A stocking with no fill.
A vase with no flowers.
A cup with no drink.
A blanket with no warmth.
A sweet with no taste.
A lamb with no shepherd.
A fish with no water.
An empty ocean.
Cinderella missing the ball.
Shoes with no fill.
A jar with no contents.
A girl with no hope.

100 Best Teen Love Poems - Trust Me With Your Heart by Kathleen Sheppard

"Trust Me With Your Heart"
by Kathleen Sheppard

Why does your heart grow doubtful dear?
Tense and beating, full of fear.
I keep with me your everlasting love,
and bless the day God sent you from above.

You remain my angel and I feel that I must,
tell you that within you, you have my trust.
My love is the tide, your soul is the shores,
you have my heart, do I have yours?

I'll belong to you till the very end,
and you will forever stay as my lover and friend.
It has been so good like this from the start,
so darling please, trust me with your heart.

Happy Birthday to Me

Yup, it's true. 13 years ago, at 1:58 pm, i was born. I think I've progressed. And oh goodness me! I don't know what the future has in store, which make it all the more fun.

Terrible News!

I've done it. I managed to loose my old math notebook. This, you see, means that I have lost all my brilliant poems from there! Awwwww well. I suppose I can whip 'em up without the infamous math notebook. I guess this title isn't quite accurate anymore.

Invetiably Yours

What am I to you?
Why, I am inevitably yours.
Never shall you leave easily or without a tear.
Not to be clingy, but that’s what you have gotten yourself into.
So why do you ask me this when you yourself have something to say?
Do you not know what you are to me?
Or do you just want me to whisper it to you again?
You are a half of my heart,
The key to my mind,
And the other half of my locket.
You are mine.

-Chinese proverb-

1930: A Simpler Time

If I could travel back in time, when would I travel to? Well, none other than the good ol' days of 1930. The time was simpler. Life was simpler. Music was chipper and jazzy, much like myself. I believe (i might be mistaken) but I believe that The Wizard of Oz was made during the 1930's so I would certainly jump at the chance if I ever got it. Oh, another reason I would travel to the 30's is to meet Bill 'Bojangles' Robbinson and, of course Shirley Temple.

(Author unknown)

Life's a Dance

I wish that life was like a musical.
The music would drown out the bad,
And your constantly entertained.
You always have something to do.
Your always dancing.
That, to me, is a perfect world.
Constant music.
A dancing world.

A Tidbit of Wonderland

"Alice! A childish story take,
And, with a gentle hand,
Lay it where Childhood's dreams are twined
In Memory's mystic band,
Like pilgrim's wither'd wreath of flowers
Pluck'd in a far-offed land."

This was in the beginning of my new book I'm reading, 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass". I haven't made but a dent in it and I already recommend it! What can I say, I have a thing for whimsy. Just so you know, I have got a great new poem coming soon. You will be very surprised, I can tell you that.

Hello!!! Here's a little more to ponder at:

IMAGINE A WORLD WITH NO MUSIC.


What would you do. How would you live? I am asking this because I know I would go totally bonkers without music. YOUR ASSIGNMENT: Leave a comment telling me what would happen to you if music left the world. Hummmm, that sounds like a good idea for a poem;). Buenos Noches (did I spell that right?)

I danced a Dance

I danced a Dance tonight, and everything went away.
I danced a Dance tonight, and everything was okay.
I moved a move tonight, and never did I look back.
I moved a move tonight, and nothing did my heart lack.
I turned a turn tonight, and music was the beat.
I turned a turn tonight, and nothing did defeat.
I smiled a smiled tonight, as I painted a picture.
I smiled a smile tonight, because I painted that picture with my feet.

Food for Thought...

Here's a little game for you! Guess where this quote is from:
"All our dreams come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."

Dreamland

Here's another one for you (i finally got my math notebook back from Christmas vacation!)


The lock is broken.
I am not waiting anymore.
Because the thing that I was waiting for has come.
I now live in an alternative dreamworld,
Where nothing is impossible and you float.
That is until...he is gone.
Then the world jumps from Dreamland,
to a world of greed and angry stares and dissaproving snares.
A world of wait.
My eyes wander away from this evil world and I slip away to a different Dreamland.
This one is far less bright.
It is cold, and blank, and lifeless.
The only thing that dwells there is me and the feeling of wait.
There is a sun but no warmth.
And then he returns.
The sun's back.

HERE ONE DAY (original)

Hello everyone! Okay, I have found the original version of the 1st poem and if I do say so myself, this one is far better. What do you think??? Leave your opinion.

Here one day...
Gone the next.
Called his phone...
Sent the text.
Worried I am,
Sit and wait,
For his presence at the gate.
Longing eyes search around
For a laugh, a voice, a sound.
This morning I thought all would be okay
Because I would see him today.
But because I have my friends with me,
I will focus, the path I'll see.
