Take Me Away

I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.


I NEED TO GO TO A NICE WARM PLACE.


WHERE I CAN DROWN IN THE SUN.


WHERE THE SMELL OF SALT CAN SUFFOCATE MY FACE.


IS SUMMER '10 HERE YET?


IF I COULD I WOULD...

I WOULD STRANGLE EVERY TEST THAT'S WAITING FOR ME.



I WANT TO MAKE BEACH CHAIR, MY PERMANENT BED.



I WANT THE SLATHERING OF SUN TAN LOTION TO BECOME A DAILY ROUTINE.

WHO WANTS TO GO TO THE BEACH WITH ME??

Dear Sparks...

My English teacher says that anyone that writes about love, does it in a poor way. That nobody can write about love whether it be in a poem, story etc. without it being down right horrible. I can see where that opinion may stand, that not everybody will be able to relate therefore making it boring and somewhat pointless. But what about authors that tell a story based off of love? A story about 2 people finding each other and falling in madly love? You can't call that failure. And if you think you can, look at the author Nicholas Sparks, who as written countless novels based off of love; some, even becoming fantastic movies. Probably the most famous, The Notebook is entirely based on 2 people's journeys through life being altered by love alone. Yeah, my English teacher forgot to talk about that.

I want Nicholas Sparks to create me a boyfriend, because where I live, you're better off buying a cat. Wait, let me correct that. Better off buying several cats. I would love to know where Mr. Nicholas Sparks lives because obviously, the water they drink is better. How on earth can he come up with these idealistic men? It's mind boggling.

I want him to combine Noah from The Notebook, John from Dear John and Mike from The Guardian. There ya go Mr. Sparks create me my dream boy!

I wonder how he perceives life, how his marriage is and what not, because I truly commend him for creating such stories that tear your heart out - After finishing Dear John my heart was destroyed. Honestly, I cried for 3 days. That book was so well written and the story was so touching and devastating that it became a piece of me. The way he used pathos makes me feel for Savannah and John, like no other book has.

I love Nicholas Sparks, and I would love him even more if I was the next character in his novel.

Please & Thank You.

100 Things To Blog About

My friend Meagan and I have blogs, and where she knows what she is going to write about; I am still wandering through the dark tunnels of media. I know I want to be a journalist, and then hopefully a broadcaster, but to get me there I need inspiration. So this morning Meagan shared a link with me on Facebook: "100 Blog Topics I Hope YOU Write About" by Chris Brogan. So this morning I read through the list and realized it mainly focused around media, communication , news!!! #80 on the list is "How Twitter Improved My Blog". Truthfully, I feel like it has in a way - now my friends that have a twitter can follow this blog on their twitter accounts.

For my AP language class we have to decide a topic for out term paper and in the end, I chose the effects of twitter. Ever since twitter was created communication as a whole has escalated dramatically -

• NBA stars such as Bill Simmons (sportsguy33) publicized the March Madness draft via Twitter.
• A lady was ashamed to announce her miscarriage to her family, so as a result, twittered about it.
• Bands (i.e. Panic at the Disco, The Maine, Cobra Starship, Justin Bieber etc.) announce their tours, releases and drama within Twitter to let fans know ASAP

I, having a twitter of my own (cbfool) am able to follow my favorite celebrities. But not only that, I can talk to my friends across the world for free. If you don't already know me, I have friends all over the world, but one of my closest friends lives in England and because we both have a Twitter, it makes talking and catching up that much easier.

Therefore, I'm glad Chris Brogan published his article because it makes me that much closer to accomplishing what I dream of doing.

"Forever Young"

So, I was sleeping over my friends house this past week and recently, all I can talk about (aside from the dreaded prom) is college. I know that I'm a junior and I have a while until college, but when all your counselors are drilling it into your head COLLEGE COLLEGE COLLEGE, you can't help but worry. I'm freaking out so much! SAT scores, ACT scores, applications, it's a tremendous amount of effort and by the time it's all over, I'll be bald from stressing out so much. But not only that, but I'm going to actually be emotionally torn; upset about leaving my friends and family. I'll miss my mom more than anything. Who am I going to talk to when nobody else will understand? My sister, will be so far up my butt with the texting, video chatting etc. that it'll be like I took her with me, and my dad and brother? Wave a baseball in front of their faces and it's as if nothing changed. But my friends...

It's hard picturing my life not side by side with my friends. We're like a family, the 6 of us: Maggie, Nicole, Erica, Christina, Meagan and myself. We have known each other for so long that the memories are absolutely unforgettable!

First day of high school, probably one of the most intense moments in a girls life, my friends were by my side. First day of college, there will be no one. I probably just like all of you, find it easy to make friends; but who is going to laugh with me when I remember an inside joke once shared with my friends? I wish we all wanted to go to the same college, but we all have different dreams: journalist, teacher, sound tech, business, arts...the list drags on.

I wish we could all be "forever young"
