Boy Bands

Has anyone noticed that boy bands are back in style? Umm let's see there's One Direction (obviously), who in my opinion got famous just because theyre all really hot. There's The Wanted, who's music is actually pretty good. Marroon 5 (do they count?). This world is completely going backwards. It's hilarious. We do stuff, then we do new things, then we go back and do the same od things again. Like with headphones. First we had headphones. Then we moved on to earphones which is a thousand times more convenient. And now we're at Beats, which is basically just headphones all over again. Or with music and movies. People dont really make new stuff anymore. Almost every song you hear is actually a remake of an old one (Ex.- We got the Beat- Debby Ryan) And movies? In Seattle, Regal Theater is currently playing reruns of Beauty and the Beast, Titanic and bout a gazillion other movies. Even the new movies are remakes of old ones, like Mirror Mirror. I'm not saying its a bad thing. It's just one of those things that make you wonder. Maybe they'll be making remakes of Hunger Games when our kids are watching tv.

Cece

Okay I promise this is my last people post. I jsut have to finsih the people I promised. Ummm Cece. I remember the first time we met, the day after winter break ended when we decided to the superarket and eat samples. That was a fun day:) She's basically the sweetest person I know, she always has a compliment for basically everyone. I'm sad we have no classes together, but that's k cuz we text alot and stuff. I love making elaborate plans on how we're gonna break up her crush and his girlfriend so the two of them can get together. She's so funny and we have thousands of inside jokes. I love how dedicated she is and how she dreams so big. I can never do that. I love listening to her talk about how she's gonna get to L.A and become all the things she wants to be. I know all that will happen one day, and I'll be telling people I knew her when. Love you to the moon and back Cece, and that's how far she's gonna go. I know it.

Brooke

I'm not gonna lie, I hate writing about people on my blog but ever since my friends have found out bout it theyre basically forcing me. Uhhh Brooke. Brooke is one of my favorite people on this planet. I love her to the moon and back. I love how excited she gets about everything she does, especially cheerleading and soccer. I love how she never lets me be sad, how she understaznds how when you're new there's a ton you dont know and she exlains it to me, how she has this gigantic smile that basically eats up her whole face, how she does my hair and nails, and how she just gets me more than anyone ever has. Umm what else? I'm gonna go crazy spending two months away from her over summer when I can barely get through a week. But that's okay because we'll figure out how to listen to Justin Bieber together and do our super-special handshake and go crazy over pictures of Zac Effron from across the world. I love you like a love song Brooke, and I don't know what I'd do without you. And I dont know what you'd do without me either because I'm the only one who reminds you take you're ADD medicine. BFF's forever. Never change.

Exercise

So because of my injured leg I dont really have alot of ways to blow of steam anymore. Usually I'm walking or running or doing some sort of activity for atleast a couple of hours a day. So these are my new ideas- 1. sit ups- I do 100 before sleeping. They suck. 2. some kind of yoga that doesnt involve my right leg 3. punching my pillow So as you can see, I'm at a dead end. I need some kind of exercise or I'm gonna seriosuly freak out. Oh hey I just thought of something. Weight-lifting? But it stunts growth....I'm not sure

Split personality

So the other day my friend(let's call him A, cuz of internet security and his name starts with that)and I were talking and he told me that he feels like a banana. Yellow on the outside(cuz he's asian) and white on the inside(he's lived in seattle all his life). And then he asked me if I'm a cocunut(like brown on the outside and white on the outside) or jsut brown on both ends. Yeah, the whole fruit analogy is kinda strange, A is just weird that way. Anyway what A told me kinda got me thinking. The only thing I ever wanted to be an average Indian girl. Unlike most of my friends back home, I was never obsessed with American music and American brand names and living in America. I knew I was where I was meant to be. And even though alot of my friends here think that my parent's values are kinda traditional, the thing is they're not just my parents values, they are also mine. So unlike A, I'm pretty much brown on the inside and brown on the outside. However, living in Seattle, going to a regular(all white basically) high school, it doesnt really work that way. Despite the fact that all I still want to be is an average Indian girl, it's not really gonna happen in average America. I guess life doesn't really work that way.

K.K

K.K, who's initials are K and K which is kinda obvious is one of my best friends and she's going through a tough time right now so this blog post is one of the few things my friends and I decided to do to cheer her up. K is not only one of my best friends, she also inspires me to be a better person just because of how great she is. K always has a smile for everybody, everyobdy loves her. She's one of the most popular people in the whole school but she always has time for other people. K, we know that stuff is happening right now. But we want you to know that no matter what, we are always there for you. I have only known you six months but you are already one of my favourite people on this planet.You always make me smile and you helped me through my own tough times. You'll get through this! We have faith in you<33

Drama

So basically there's alot of stuff going on in my life right now. There's a ton of school things. My physcial therapist said that my body is forgetting it has a foot and I have therapy three times a week. But what really is happening is what happening between my friends.
So though I like alot of people, my best friends are about seven. I have atleast one of them in every one of my classes and we eat lunch together. But now, things are kinda breaking apart and people just arent talking about it.
That made me think of how the biggest misunderstandings are just because people dont talk.
So if your group of friends is having their own drama right now then just remember to talk.

Justin Bieber

So today I was babysitting my neighbours and the older one put on Boyfriend by Justin Bieber because she wanted to show me this dance that she'd made for it(because of course fourth graders listen to bieber these days)and I made the usual face that I make when someone talks about the biebs.
And then I realized something.
It was good. It was actually good. Not like amazing, but it was good enough that I could actually listen to it alot and not really have that much of a problem. I mean yeah he started out pretty terrible with his high-pitched promises to buy "any ring" or claim that he can't "live without his first love" and all that nonsense but his voice is better now and his songs are actually pretty catchy.
Anyway what I learnt from this shocking experience was that if we actually admit to how things are changing, we can experience all kinds of new awesome. Or in this case more of all kinds of mediocre, but whatever. You take what you can get.
So basically I guess what I'm trying to say is that have an open mind. And with that sprit I tried to listening to One Direction, Rebecca Black and the Jonas Brothers and I realized something else. An open mind can only go so far:P

Destiny

So I was at the mall last Friday and my friend had a mini-spazz attack in Forever 21 over these adorable yellow shorts. And she was going on about how great they were and then she said "it was meant to be." Which is kinda stupid cause they were just a pair of shorts but it got me thinking about destiny and things meant to be and if that's real or if it's just something people say to make themselves believe that nothing is really their fault.
Like when you fail a test and you tell yourself "it's ok, it was meant to happen". Or when you win something, but then you never want to think that something bigger deserves credit for that. I mean you put in all that effort so how can somebody say that it's all in the bigger plan and all your hard work was really just a waste?
I guess destiny decides where we're going to end up but we decide how we're going to get there.
I just realized that that's actually really deep. Isn't it weird how one moment you're thinking bout yellow denim shorts and another moment you're analyzing something as big as destiny?

Rumours

I was just talking to a friend of mine who apparently knows aLOT about my life that I certainly never told her. And you know the crazy part? Most of it ain't even true!
I HATE rumours. Sure they add drama and seem harmless but drama comes at a price and that price is the truth. Because these rumours are usually not true. And if they are, then they're certainly not anybody else's business.
You know something that I really hate? That the people farthest from me, the people who know absolutely nothing about my life right now are the people who seem to take the most interest in discussing it.
If you're the one than you know who you are and I have one word for you.
STOP.

More All About Me

These lists are fun to do and no-one reads this stupid blog anyway so why not-
1. I hate Peeta Mellark. I'm a HUGE Gale fan.
2. I over-read into almost every situation.
3. I hate how putting a slutty picture on facebook is cancelled out with some meaningful quote that it totally unrelated
4. I think it's sweet when people say please. Nobody says please anymore.
5. I'm NOT a Harry Potter fan, contrary to what everyone thinks, atleast not now. I used to be, but I was re-reading one of them a few days ago and I could barely get through it. Its wonderful in it's own place but it's over now.
6. I don't like the sound of violins. Maybe because I've never heard one played properly but it kinda sounds like a wailing baby to me.
7. My first language is not english.
8. I hate it when people don't look at the real world like they're stuck in some bubble or something.
9. I love this really sweet old lady who I almost always see if I run in the afternoon and she always tells me "to run from the obese american".
10. Libraries kinda spook me out, it's hard being in all that quietness for so long. Once my friend called and I started talking to her and almost at once atleast nine people turned and gave me judgemental stares.
11. I hate chords. I love notes. If I could, I would just play notes on my guitar all the time and forget about chords forever.
12. I dont like fanfiction. In fact, I hate fanfiction. I dont understand how anyone can get SO wrapped up in a book that they can actually go bother reading more of it instead of just moving on to something.
13. My favorite english song in the world is Smile by Uncle Kracker because it makes me happy. And Call me Maybe because it is so stupid it makes me laugh. Oh and Pretty Girl, cause really? Who listens to that and doesn't smile?
14. Movies>Books. I wasnt like this before but it's how I am now I guess. I have a hard time finishing any book if it's too complicated. I like chick flicks.
15. I love willow trees.

Spring Break

Spring Break. This is exactly what I need right now.
Online dictionary defines spring break as a recess lasting for about a week.
I define spring break as sleep, friends, homework, sleep, tv, facebook, sleep, food, boredom, running, sleep, books, movies, hanging out, and sleep. Oh and more sleep.
I went to Canada with my family for a weekend. It was okayish. Like it was fun, but we really didn't do much of anything and everyone basically drove me mad.
We went to Butchat gardens which is basically the most beautiful place I have ever seen. Every possible type of nature from waterfalls to willows to the sea to sunflowers was there in this one huge garden. It was gorgeous. It was also huge and super tiring with a strange tendancy to change weather every 2 minutes but that's different.
We watched alot of movies in the car and went on a few boat rides. I love the sea. I love how it's so huge and there's so much going on inside it but you can see nothing but beauty on the outside.
Today I went to the library and checked out like 30 books. I dont really read that much anymore(SO different from how I used to be) but I love these books. They're literally like Bollywood movies on paper.
Tomorrow I'm going to see the Hunger Games with a friend, day after some-one's coming over, day after that I'm hanging out with another one, Friday I'm going shopping with someone and Saturday I'm going to the mall. So it is a fun break on the social side but I'm not having week long sleepovers like so many people. Like my mom would ever let me anyway.
So thats my spring break. Its not a wild night on a beach and Its not a week spent with a textbook.
It's average.
Like me.
