AWESOME SONG
West Coast friendship by owl city:
To feel rather sad and walls are closing in like the darkness around me
It's so hard to look away when the daylight doesn't ever stay
Above this dull apartment view oh I will surround you
It's quite clear that I'm stuck here
So I'll devise a plan and cut out a door in my new living room floor
The porch light is so bright
That I will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape of the rusty fire escape
I bought a one-way ticket
Cuz I knew I'd never see the ground
Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down
I wiped the tears from my eyes
The warm water took me by surprise.
And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized
I must be in California
Aloha, my happy west coast friends
Do you feel alive when the breaking waves arrive and rush all around you?
The beach homes in Oceanside are quite well-known by the evening tide
And we can sleep where we reside with redwoods around us
The blue air is up there and could I bring it down,
I'd bottle it up and save it for a sweet summer night
I bought a one-way ticket (first-class)
Cuz I knew I'd never see the ground
Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down
When I wiped the tears from my eyes, the warm water took me by surprise
And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized
I must be in California
I must be in California
Am I awake or is this just a dream?
The New Year is out here and
I will make a lovely list of your charms
So I'll never feel alone in your arms
I must be in California
I must be in California
Oh my dear, I can feel you here
I love this song because I personally LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE California.

Reflection#4
My project is going very well. I have not yet turned in all the things I need to turn in but I still have time to do them.
I have already interviewed a nice woman by the name of Meredith McLoud and I am still waiting for a reply. When I emailed her the questions, she only sent back one answer. I tried to be nice to her but sadly she still hasn't replied back. I am getting a little angry at her. My project is almost done except for the interview and the reflections. So far, I'm doing fairly well!

I AM GOING TO READ! OMFG!!!!



OK, everyone that knows me real well must know that I HATE READING!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have an announcement that will blow your brains out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM GOING TO READ!!!!!!!!! I plan to read a book called Bran Hambrick and the Farfeld Curse. The book is by Kaleb Nation who is one of my friends on youtube and is about my age or 3-4 years older. Here is some stuff about the book in the author's own words.
"On the third night of the third month in 2003, KALEB NATION, age 14, suddenly imagined a boy and a banker on a roof, waiting for a burglar to come. From that original idea was born the story of Bran Hambric. The first novel (BRAN HAMBRIC: THE FARFIELD CURSE) would take most of Kaleb's teenage years to write.
Aside from writing, Kaleb hosted his first radio show in Texas at age 13, later launching his own program in 2006 called The Top 5. Kaleb’s show grew to be broadcast on AM, FM, Internet and satellite radio stations across the globe before he left to focus on writing.
In 2008, Kaleb launched a blog at TwilightGuy.com, giving chapter-by-chapter insight, from a guy and writer’s perspective, on reading the Twilight Saga, a series of popular novels. The website went on to receive over 3 million hits in its first 9 months online, and was featured in BusinessWeek and Entertainment Weekly magazines. Kaleb also began posting regular videos on his Youtube channel, with a combined total of over 3 million plays.
In his free time, Kaleb enjoys creating music and blogging. A homeschool graduate and a former black belt in taekwondo, he currently attends college in Texas and turned 20 in 2008."

I chose to do my people metaphors on Hayley Williams. She is the lead singer of one of my favorite musical bands (Paramore). I would do Robert Pattinson (sooooooooo cute) but someone else called him. Boo Hoo. Anyway, here is the thing I had to do!Eyes - A raging ocean blocked by two barriers.
Ears - A small canyon studded with diamonds.
Mouth - An instrument used for the making of vocal music.
Nose - A small mountain in the middle of a valley.
Forehead - A flat land near the valleys of the eyes, the mountain of the nose, and the abyss of the mouth.
Hair - A blazing, majestic fire in a bright starry night. ( I want my hair just like this!!!!!!)
Cheeks - Two faded roses inside of a painting.
Teeth - Chipped pieces of white glass.
Lips - Barriers of which the music can escape or not.
Skin - Perfectly painted porcelain. and that's all. I know it might sound a little gay but I wasn't trying to do that. I couldn't really think of a hot guy I liked to put on here, sorry!
