Life's Lessons

2012-01-21T15:41:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone...
This is going to be another update. (Unfortunately)

I recently saw Immortals and Underworld Awakening... Both of them were amazing! I really hope they make another Underworld, since they gave this one a cliff hanger ending... Not really surprised but I feel like they'll need one with Scott Speedsman in it this time, since he was only in a few scenes in this film...

I think that the character of David(Theo James) is really hot... I could easily see him ending up with Eve at some time in the future. I can't say a lot about it with out giving too much away but it was amazing and I would love to see it again sometime soon, maybe I'll get some friends to go with me to see it... It's really amazing and I want to see another one come out sometime in the near future...

Update 2

2011-10-03T21:18:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone so my last update was in June... I have so much to catch up on with everyone... I'll start with my summer. I didn't really do much in July but I did go to California... It was amazing I spent time with my cousins and family. I did see my Grandpa, he's not doing so well but I'm praying that he'll be okay.

In August I completed another milestone, I became 17. I'm also now a Senior in high school. I'm still in shock that I started this blog back in sophomore year. I started school in September... Everything was sailing well until recently. Last week a student at my high school committed suicide. As well as two very important historical buildings caught fire and burned down.

To make matters even worse, a dear good friend of mine passed away this last weekend. I miss her deeply. I know that she wouldn't want me to mourn her too much but she was an important person in my life. She was my best friend and practically my sister. I miss her deeply and hope that she is at peace.

I'm not really sure what else to say. But Cora, I love you sis. I'll miss you and never forget you.

2 hours in Twilight heavan (my style)

Edward
You pick up a crystal heart, and turn around to ask who's it is, but Edward is already behind you smiling, you flinch cause you hadn't noticed him move from his seat, he frowns a little and says "sorry for scaring you", you smile a little and tell him "its ok", he offers you his hand and you gentle slide your hand in his, he leads you to the closet and opens the dorr for you, ove inside, you just stand there not sure what to do, and also feeling really nervous cause you can feel Edwards eyes on you, out of no where, Edward grabs your hand and brings it to his lips kissing it, you blush, and he smiles, he pulls you into his arms, slowly so not to scared you adn whispers " do you mind if I kiss you, or would that scared you?" You lean back, to look at his face, he smiles and you smile back,you than stand on your tip toes adn press your lips to his, he deepens the kiss, next thing you know you are on the floor naked and Edward is sliding into you (if you know what i mean). You moan and he smiles and kisses you again, you hear times up, and again before you realize it your dressed and on your feet. Edward offers you his hand and you both walk out smiling. A week later you find out your pregnant, you tell Edward and he's really happy, he asks you to marry him and you say "Yes!" YOu get married and a couple of months later you have a little boy, while you was giving birth you almost died so Edward had to change you to a vampire, you guys named your son Edward Jr. and you all lived happily ever after.

How do you compare?

Update

2011-06-09T00:40:00.000-07:00

Okay, I know that I've been flaking on updating my blog. I'm going to give you an excuse because that is exactly what it is an excuse. So on May 5th, my dad's uncle/godfather passed away. He actually died nine months after his ex-wife who he loved a lot. I also got sick for almost a week before Memorial Day weekend. I'm still recovering from that even though it's been nearly two weeks. Whooping Cough has been going on around my school, and I was freaked out that I had it but I'm not really sure at the moment. For Mother's Day my dad bought my mom a bouquet of assorted flowers.

We had to wait a bit for the second part of my mom's gift. It was actually something that I'm quite proud of. I actually created a self portrait of myself for my art class and my dad bought it for my mom. We had to get it framed and it took longer than we planned but it is now sitting in our living room on the wall. It looks like it always belonged there.

My dad bought himself a laptop last month... I am now giving him computer lessons. He has an email and a facebook now, which is cool. He also has a youtube account, but I doubt that he'll post any videos. Actually I recently discovered that I have a ton of family on facebook... my dad has a bunch of cousins that facebook accounts. It's insane, I'm pretty sure that over 50% of the facebook population is related to me. But it really doesn't matter.

Okay, I just recently got the bought a book of Edgar Allen Poe short stories and poems. I also bought a Emily Dickinson poem book. I have enough books to last me through next year... So I don't really need to buy anymore. I've been trying to discover who I am as a person but it's a little difficult.

I'm going to be going to Cali later in the summer to say goodbye to my grandpa as he is currently on his deathbed. He's been on his deathbed before and fought it but I'm not sure if he'll be able to fight this time. I know that he's trying but I don't know if he'll survive.

It's getting late and I'm getting morbid. I'll update you later with some pics, hopefully soon! =)

Catch Up

2011-04-02T23:18:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone.
Sorry I've been away these last few months. My old laptop died on me so I had to save up money to buy a new one. Yeah, I have to save my own money to buy myself a laptop, I'm not a rich kid who can just ask and receive.

I'm not really sure what to say right now... I guess I'll tell what I've been obsessed with; Star Wars, Dramione, Fanfiction, writing, and school. Yeah, not a lot of obsessions but I did miss using my laptop. Good news is, is that I'm on spring break all next week so I'll be able to catch up with some English homework.

I got to go to Seattle for the first time last month. It was so much fun, I'm now currently obsessed with trying to find a hot red headed Italian... What do you think are my chances at finding one?

Haha, g2g... Blog soon

Crying...

2010-09-17T22:25:00.000-07:00

Have you ever felt out of place? Ever felt like other people want to hurt you more than you think? Ever feel like a failure... well, that's exactly how I feel at the moment. Why you may ask? Well, I signed up for an online class thinking that it would be something for me but it's not. I've just now realized that it's not possible, now I'm going to be going to my counselor on Monday morning and just asking to be taken out of the class. I can't handle the stress, right now. My dad is having kidney problems,so I don't feel like having seven classes...

I just want to cry. I feel like I'm a failure right now for quitting. Am I? I mean my dad is more important to me than I class, I even told people that I might end up dropping the class... Now, I feel like they're going to get mad at me for dropping it... I just, I don't know what to do.

I feel like my head is going to explode, I mean, the reason why I took journalism online was, I thought that it would help me become a better book writer but I was totally wrong. It's more about them becoming a journalist writer, which isn't what I want to do in life. I want to become an author, not a writer.

Am I really a failure for wanting to follow my dreams? I just, I don't know what I'm going to do right now... I hate myself at this very moment!

The Last Few Days...

2010-08-16T21:21:00.000-07:00

Okay so I'm just going to tell you what has happened the last few days.

Wednesday, August 11th
I went to hang out with my friend Jon. It was NOT a date, we were hanging out. We went to the Starbucks in Northtown Square, which isn't far from my house. Afterwards we went to the mall, which was right across the street and just looked around. We had a fun time, it was nice to hang out with someone during the summer.

After I got home, my family and I went to Cheney to see some family friends. Who I haven't seen in two years. It was great to see them since I practically consider them my grandparents. I got to see a lot of old family friends. I love spending time with them but they only get to visit once a year.

Thursday Aug. 12th
Nothing happened

Friday Aug 13th
Same as Thursday

Saturday Aug 14th
Not a lot happened but the neighbor's dog chewed on our hose. Yeah, my sister and mom are little upset.

Sunday Aug 15th
Not much happened

Today, Monday Aug 16th.
Went to Cheney to see our old friends again. Today I got to drive over to the house. Not all the way but part way, it was fun. I liked driving, it gave me some experience that I need for when I get my license. I got to see some more old family friends. They surprised me with a small birthday cake since my birthday is on Thursday. It so cute. I loved it. Then I got to drive back to our house, part way again but I'll take what I can get. Backroads are fun to drive but scary as h-e-double hockey stick. That's all that I really did today. =)

Life...

2010-08-10T20:29:00.000-07:00

My life doesn't seem to be going well for me. Tomorrow, I get to go and hang out with one of my friends, who I haven't seen in a while. That'll be fun. =)

I can't believe that there are only 9 days left until I turn sixteen. I'm so excited about it that I can't wait. I'm so excited but I feeling a little bummed too. It seems that some of my friends are too busy to even bother with coming to my b-day party. It seems that I only have 2 friends coming for sure. Both of them are guys too. I can't wait to see who ends up coming and who ends up not bothering.

Well that's all today.

xoxo

Summer

2010-08-06T21:54:00.000-07:00

My summer so far, seems to literally, be flying past me. In 13 days it will be my 16th birthday, I'm excited about that but anyway yesterday one of my dad's aunt's passed away. I didn't know Monica personally but she was my dad's aunt and godmother. I feel sorry that she died. I know that my grandparents didn't take her death well.

I haven't really done a lot this summer. I've been spending time with my family. Oh, yeah, get this, my sister told my crush that I liked him. He apparently didn't hear my sister say "It's you... She likes you," She even said it three times.

Anyways, it seems that so far no one is going to be coming to my sweet sixteen. I could have gone to my friend's sweet sixteen but I didn't. I feel like a total flake for not going.

I have some new obsessions...
Power Rangers, what can I say. They are amazing. I happen to love Tommy/Kim pairings and Tommy/Kira. They re some amazing fanfictions about these pairings. I'm also currently obsessed with Dramione and Severione. I've been also obsessed with polyvore. I have two accounts but I use one more than the other.

I can't wait for Vampires Suck to come out to theaters, my dad wants to take my sister and I to go see it. I saw Eclipse twice last month. I have to say that this was the better movie of the three. I'm waiting for Breaking Dawn and Harry Potter to come out which will take awhile.

I'm excited for school to start so I can see my friends I'll be patient and wait for it. For now I just want to enjoy my summer before I become an official junior at Shadle Park High School.

Hola

2010-07-06T03:02:00.000-07:00

Hey, everyone! Sorry that I haven't blogged much... Okay, so I don't have to do summer school, which is good. I'll be taking 7 classes next year, well maybe 8 but it depends.
Okay so the classes that I plan to take next year are: Pre-Cal, Spanish 3, College Preparatory English, World History, Color and Design, Drama, Yearbook, and maybe online journalism...

Yeah, it's an insane amount of classes but I would rather graduate with extra credits. So, yeah, that's what my schedule will look like next year. That's all I have time to blog about today! Write soon..

Adios,
Mint

Books

2010-05-22T20:33:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I have some books that I'm currently reading.
One of the books that I'm reading is called Jessica's Guide To Dating On The Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey. This is by far a really good book and I'm going to tell you that this book was worth buying.

Another book that I'm reading is called Immortal, it's edited by P.C. Cast. This book is filled with short stories from Rachel Caine, Kristin Cast, Claudia Gray, Nancy Holder, Tanith Lee, Richelle Mead, Cynthia Leitich Smith, and Rachel Vincent. So far, I have read all but three stories. This is a great buy so I recommend this to anyone who loves vampire stories!

I think that's all I have to say.

Chow!

Life...

2010-05-16T18:20:00.000-07:00

Okay, so my life currently at the moment sucks. I'm currently failing two classes so, I may be taking summer school so I'm tying to get my grades up in the two classes. I'm hoping that I will only have to fail one class not two. I've changed around almost most of schedule for last year. Then, I found out that one of my closet friends is currently dating my ex, I've warned about him and I'm pretty sure that he'll cheat on her, like he did with me. My dad is currently having kidney problems and will most likely be needing a transplant... I've also lost my driver's handbook so I won't be able to get my license... My life is a mess right now and I'm trying not to lose myself in this mess at the moment and I'm scared that I'm going to lose myself in it.

Obsessions...

2010-02-17T05:37:00.001-08:00

Okay so I'm just going to blog about some current obsession that I have at the moment. I warn you that I have a few of them. I'll start with movie obsessions...

*Dirty Dancing- I just love the music and the all of the dancing that takes place. I've actually created two D.D. tributes and I'll post links to them.
and
Both of them are really good, I think. I love Baby and Johnny, I think that they make the cutest couple for fighting against the odds. I love the final dance sequence that they do in the movie.

*Teen Witch- I love that movie. The first time I saw it was when I was about four or five and it was on Disney Channel. I never really forgot the start of the movie, with Loise and Brad on top of a building dancing. After years of searching for the movie, I finally found it just last year at a pawn shop. My dad bought for me as a gift.

*Pirates of the Caribbean- Who doesn't love Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom as pirates? Both of them are amazing actors but I'm in love with Will Turner. My favorite P.C. movie is At World's End but I can't wait for the fourth P.C. movie. It's called the Strange Tides and it involves the Fountain of Youth, I'm a little disappointed that Will Turner(Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann-Turner(Kiera Knightly) won't be in this film.

*Twilight Saga- I've seen both Twilight and New Moon. I plan to go see Eclipse once it reaches theaters. I'm excited to see it but I'm in love with Twilight but I must admit that I had issues with the cliffhanger ending in New Moon, that is what upset me the most.

o~O~o Book Obsessions

I'm obsessed with a lot of books at the moment and most of them are vampire books but I'll tell you about them anyway.

*Vampire Kisses- I've just finished the first book, I'm now on the second book Vampireville, it's really good so far. Alexander Sterling is dating Raven Madisen, a gothic girl wannabe vampire. When she discovers that her boyfriend is a vampire will she change her mind about being a vampire or will she join her boyfriend in eternal darkness forever? Find out in the Vampire Kisses series!

*Morganville Vampires- When little Claire Danvers moves to Morganville, Texas, for college at the age of sixteen, she moves into the Glass House only to cause problems for the G.H. residents. Little does she know that the town is infested with vampires who will kill you if you're out after dark. Don't go out at night, Claire Bear.

*House of Night- Zoey Redbird has never been normal, from the time that she was human to the time that she was marked as one of Nyx's own true children. Zoey has been given the affinity of all five elements and has been given more power than she knows what to do with. Will she be able to stop an ancient evil that calls out for her or will she give into the darkness that will prove to her that she was not meant for the all of her power?

That's all I have time for guys... I'll make another obsessions blog sometime this week...

Peace
Mint

I'm working on Dangerous Life but I'm kind of stuck on where to go... so when I'm not working on Welcome to Hell... I will repost the first chapter sometime soon.

Pianos and Roses characters...

2010-01-02T11:08:00.000-08:00

Hey guys I'm gonna tell you about some of the P and R characters. Some things you might not know about... Plus a few little deleted scenes/ outtakes...

Eleanor Brun:
Eleanor is Elizabeth's mom. Eleanor's old nickname was Ele(pronounced Eli). Ele is twins with Valerie, both are identical. Ele met Peter Howe when she was five. Peter was seven...

Peter Howe:
Peter is Elizabeth's dad. Peter was seven when he met Ele, who was five. Peter and Ele got married when he was 22, Ele was 20. Elizabeth was born nine months after they were married.(Yup, Eli was a honeymoon baby)

Valerie Brun:
Elizabeth's aunt, Valerie has raised Eli since she was five. Peter and Ele got a divorce and little Eli couldn't choose so she asked to stay with her aunt. Valerie had a minor drinking problem that Peter and Ele didn't know about. She would hurt little Eli when she was drunk. Valerie never married but had many boyfriends, that were typically into drugs or alcohol...

James Smith:
James, is Austin's dad. He's never been mentioned but he at one point was one of Val's boyfriends. James's wife, Sarah died when Austin was three. So he stayed single but when he went to the dance studio that Valerie owned he found himself flirting with her. They started dating when Austin was 10 and Eli was 8.

Sarah Smith:
Austin's mom who was killed in a car accident. She was coming home from work, to tell James that she was three months pregnant when she was hit by a drunk driver. During the autopsy they found that she was pregnant, James was sad that he had lost his wife and unborn child.

Mary Smith-Ratte:
Mary is Kenzi's mom. She's also Jame's twin sister and Austin's aunt. After James lost Sarah, Mary was there to help her older brother grieve over his wife's lost. She didn't want him in any pain. Mary lost her husband when Kenzi was four. James was there to help his sister mourn, just like when she helped him.

Andrew Ratte:
Andrew was a police officer that was killed in the line of duty. He loved both his wife and little girl dearly. He died, knowing that he was going to be hurting his wife and daughter.

Okay, those are the adults in P and R... I will post more about the children tomorrow!

Hello

2009-12-27T07:53:00.000-08:00

Well, Christmas has come and passed. I'm not going to list out everything that I got but I will list somethings that excited me the most.

Books (ie. Fade Out and Blood Promise)
Sketch book with pencils (I love this. I've been busy doodling and drawing)
Eastern Washington University items (I want to attend there for college)
A new cell phone (FINALLY! This one has a camera...)
Some clothes (socks, shirt, and a hoodie)
Beauty Products (ie. body butter, waterproof mascara etc...)
Coffee Mugs (I apparently make really good hot chocolate)
Some gift cards (for Wal*Mart)

It really was an amazing Christmas for my family and I. I'm glad that I got to spend it with my family, who are truly are some of the best people I've ever met.

Yeah, that includes my little sister, even I don't like her all the time.

I can't wait for school to get here. I'm going to have a really nice big surprise for all of my friends when I get back. It'll be sure to freak them out! I'm hoping that I don't get attacked for my surprise.

Christmas... and books

2009-12-25T02:41:00.000-08:00

Well, it's Christmas. My favorite holiday. But I'm not going to talk about what I got, since I haven't opened anything.

I wanted to tell you about some books that I have been reading. Most of them are vampire books but I have a few that aren't.

Morganville Vampires-Rachel Caine

Claire Danvers moves to Morganville, Texas, at age sixteen for college. She gets harassed by Monica Morell (I think that's how you spell her last name). So she moves into Glass House with Shane Collins, Michael Glass, and Eve Rosser. Along the way she and the other residents of Glass House get into some serious trouble with the vampires that are in town.

Glass Houses, Dead Girl's Dance, Midnight Alley, Feast of Fools, Lord of Misrule, Carpe Corpus, Fade Out, and Kiss of Death (released in April of '10)

Ella Enchanted-Gail Carson Levine

The classic Cinderella fairytale with a twist. Ella was given a curse by a fairy. The 'gift' of Obedience. Ella has to do everything she's told no matter what. After getting a new step-mother and step-sisters, Ella becomes the scullery maid. Will she get her Cinderella ending and marry Prince Char?

That's all I have to tell you about. I will talk about some other books later. See you later.

Peace out,

~Mint aka Alexx <3

Christmas Miracles...

2009-12-22T10:49:00.000-08:00

*This is people who do celebrate or like Christmas. If you don't like/celebrate Christmas, today's post is not for you... I have given fair warning.

So, I fell asleep around 5am, this morning. I was awoken around 10:15am by my sister and mom. According them I had a look that said 'kill' on my face. (Can you blame me? You try getting 5 hours of sleep, then having your pain in the a** sister wake you up by screaming at you!)

So anyway they come in my room saying that this guy, that they didn't know (a complete stranger) came to our house with food and Christmas presents. I look at them like they're crazy (which I think they actually are) then go to our dining room to look. Inside I see a 3 bags full of food.

That's not what surprises me though. What catches me off guard is that there are 2 boxes and a like 5 bags full of presents. I look at one of the bags to see that it's addressed to my dad. That immediately freaked me out. I looked at the other presents and saw that there were some addressed to me, my mom, my dad, and my sister.

It really was a Christmas miracle looking at all of the gifts.

Things that have GONE Wrong...

2009-12-22T03:10:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone it's Alex aka Mint101 at testriffic.com I just wanted to let you guys know how I've been. I've had a lot of things that have happened to me lately, I'll write a list...

Last Friday, my dad got into a car accident. I just so happened to be with him. It freaked me out pretty badly. My dad was really shaken up that I had to drive part of the way home.
Last Friday, was mostly a good day in school. I pretty much did nothing in any of classes.
In November I got my first boyfriend. After one week of dating he decides to give me this crap about putting the relationship on hold... Like I'm really gonna take any of that bull. So anyways he's all like I promise we'll still be together and sh** but only to find out that only 5 days after he puts our relationship on hold he goes and gets himself a freaking freshman to go out with... Let us say that I was and still am not happy with him.

Yes, I sill am friends with him but I'm upset that he would do that. I didn't bother to shed tears over this a**hole. He's not worth it...

4. One of my aunt's has decided that she's going to screw my dad over really nicely by asking to borrow money from him. She makes all these promises and c**p that she'll pay him back. Yeah right, when hell freezes over twice...

I think that's everything... Until then, adios
