Dear World,
What is my life going to be like four years from now, 10 years from now? What does it look like?Will I make it in the world? Sometimes I feel so lost without a clue about what is my next move. Now that I have started a new school, I feel like I should have more people to lean towards when I feel lost, but yet I don't. At times, I sometimes think I want to be one of the popular girls with friends, but in reality they are not real or even nice. I don't want to be those girls Ever. I am going to do great things someday, I know it. I am a wonderful person who will eventually find where I belong.

Do You Think?

Do you think anybody knows this me writing these letters? Do people really know I even exist? Do I walk down my school hallways invisible? When I speak do people really listen?
Do they hear me ? I want to make a difference in this world. School is interesting. I like to think of it as a scientific experiment. I don't know what the outcome will be. I am unsure of the future just as unsure I am of what this week will bring. I like all of my teachers. I enter in the classrooms more mature and willing to learn then most of my other peers. At lunch, I sit with my friend and watch as people mill around the school. I wonder what they think and what they do. I see immature and crude students yelling obnoxious comments at passing students. I watch in wonder how they can just not even acknowledge school and their lives.
I look at students and wonder what their lives will be like after high school. I know what I want and how far I have to go to achieve it, but I don't know if I can do it. I am not yet confident in what I do. So far, I have enjoyed school. Today, unfortunately I got sick and am writing this with a head that feels like it might explode at any moment. I have joined four clubs which include the Drama Club, California Scholarship Federation, Reader's Club, and the Key Club.
The Key Club is an organization that offers community service activities and how to make an impact on the world today. Since I feel like I might explode or implode at any moment, I am signing off for today.

The Future

Well, the day has finally arrived and shortly I will be walking down the long hallways of a brand new school. I remember when the decision had been made that I would go to this school and I was genuinely excited, but now that the day has finally arrived I don't want to go. Nervous and scared jitters run up and down my body convincing my mind that I will fail. Although, this is completely without a doubt not even close to a truth, I still have this voice booming inside of my head convincing me otherwise. Somehow, I can't seem to get rid of this looming voice inside of me. On August 10th, I will walk down those halls feeling scared of the future ahead of me, hopefully in the years to come I will feel self-assured and hopeful for the bright future ahead of me. Today though, I have no idea what tomorrow will bring and am dreading the fast approaching doomsday.

Pressures

I keep pressuring myself to get educated on other people's fails at high school,

so I don't make any of the same mistakes. It is kind of ridiculous though, since by making mistakes I can learn and grow. Without making any mistakes, I am not growing. Am I ? I reading all of these articles and books about adults looking back on their high school experiences and realizing their mistakes and faults. Before, entering into high school, I want to learn some of the things teenagers often run into while in high school. Yes, I do know that I examine this way too closely, but you must understand that I don't want to use up my four years and have regrets. I have recently been reading an interesting book about a high school senior who makes a wish and is able to talk to her freshman self. Magically, she is able to talk to her freshman self and convince her younger self to switch around her life. The senior starts seeing slight improvements in her life as the freshman starts making changes. The senior had spent the whole three and half years not paying serious attention to school,but only to her boyfriend that dumped her before prom. Without him she suddenly is lost and realizes that she is going to a horrible college. Without the blindness of love, she is suddenly aware of where her life is going. Even though I am nothing like the character in this book,I don't want to make the same mistakes that she had regretted at the end of high school. Of course, that would never happen because I am so focused about school work. Even though I like love, I would never give up for someone. I suppose that is harsh, but think about it. If suddenly meet a handsome guy that swept me off my feet and I was blinded by pure bliss, I wouldn't just throw my books over my shoulder without a second glance. I am serious about school and getting into a good college. I push myself and needlessly fret about stuff that is going to happen in the future. When I am crashed on the couch frying my brain cells, I have this looming cloud over my head reminding me of things I have to do. I put this huge pressure on essays and reports, because I think that if I don't get a perfect paper I won't get into a good college. My life will end up nowhere. Nowhere...... the word drifts through my head making myself turn into this person that is constantly worried. Instead of taking care of these things, I procrastinate and wait hoping and wishing that somehow they will magically go away. Instead of having the luxury of spending two weeks working on papers, I spend the very last second scribbling away. Sometimes, I get a B and sometimes I can get an A. I guess I don't stop procrastinating because somehow things turn out. I want enter into high school a free-spirited and worry-free young woman. Perhaps, things won't turn out exactly as planned, but that is the fun of it. Nothing is the end of the world.
If I don't get an A, I dust myself off and try again. Life will move on and before I know it
the past will be a blur. It won't matter if I got a B on my History test nor will it matter if
the cute guy in my driver's ed will notice me, because throughout all of crazy things
that I face in the coming years it will help me become who I will be.

A sun behind the dark, cloudy days

After watching a heartfelt romantic movie, I realized that I have my whole life ahead of  me to find true love.
Although, I had thrown myself at someone I had thought was truly my love and had my heart crushed by a semi-truck, I know that there is someone that is meant for me out there. Instead of yelling and screaming out my anger, I let it go. Everyday I get up, breathe deeply, and know that even if today isn't a good day there is always tomorrow. There is always a sun behind the dark,cloudy days. Someone out there is made for me.
Even though, it probably wouldn't be any of my next loves and heartbreaks, he is out there.

Someday..

Do you know how some people just follow the leader and never truly stop and think about their lives? After school is completed, people go out into the world and find lives of their own. Is it really a life though? They continuously do the same thing day after day. I don't want to be one of those "people". I want to go out into the world and explore, find myself. Some people live their whole lives without truly knowing who they are inside.
I understand that because I am young, I don't know who I am at this point in my life, but someday I will find myself. Someday I will find someone who accepts me for me. I used to and probably still do, try to make people like me by being somebody I am not. Yet, that isn't true friendship or love, those people simply care about you because they believe you are somebody you aren't. When I head off onto my new path of life in high school, I hope that I will come to understanding of myself. It is a huge ambition, but I think I have what it takes to make it. One of my biggest obstacles, is that I can do a lot of different things, but I don't because I don't truly believe in myself. I have to believe that I can do something and I will succeed.

Picture Perfect

What is picture perfect? Is there such a thing as PERFECT ?
No, perfect doesn't exist. I have come to terms about perfect. The world has this image of a picture perfect person,someone that is skinny and beautiful. Young girls everywhere strive to be this "picture perfect" person. That person doesn't exist ! This image fills the minds of people everywhere because of what they see on T.V. and in magazines. Those people are fictional. They don't exist in everyday life. You won't see them when you walk to work or ride your bike around the neighborhood. I have always strived to be one of this "perfect" people. I realize that I am perfect the way I am. Why should I be like someone else when I can be me? Then the world would be like Camazotz. There would be no fun in the world. Although, I need to shed a few pounds, I am perfect the way I am. I don't need to look for others approval. People I knew wouldn't want to hang out with me because they thought I was weird or strange. Well, guess what? Weird is what makes people unique. So, what ? Is there a problem with unique ?
No! At least I am not like those people that thought I was weird. They are not interesting or weird , they are dumb and ordinary.
Nothing is special or unique about them.
One of my goals in life is to accept myself for who I am and be okay with it. At this point, I am just starting to accept and love myself.

Hello ! Just felt like throwing that out there :P Anyway, I have been so busy with my head stuck in Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins! She is an amazing author !! If you have NOT read this book, I am sorry you live under a rock. You can find this at ANY library or at ANY bookshop on this planet.
On to the next topic of my discussion. I am just getting over my closure with some dumb jerk. I don't if you are reading this "dumb jerk", but I don't care because this my blog and I want to share my feelings with the rest of the world. Anyway, I have no idea why he did this to me. I am actually still wondering that , but whatever you lose some and you win some. His lost.

Oh guess what??! You can tell I am jumping up and down right now. :P I am going to a real high school next year!! So for those of you that are lost right now. I go to an online school for now, but in the fall I will be entering into 9th grade in a local school in my area. I am really excited ! I will be creating all new posts about "Stories from High School". So look for that around August. INSANE!! School in August?!?!? August 10th is the first official day of school . Who goes to school in AUGUST?!?

What else?? Oh yeah, MOVIES!! Movies are my second favorite activity to do. ( Reading is the first. ) I am kind of excited for the newest Freddie Highmore movie, The Art of Getting By, also starring Emma Roberts. Freddie Highmore is an amazing actor and I love him to pieces. Yes, I am a freak and proud of it. Everyone thought I was insane to love Freddie , but google him now  and see how hott he is.  Now who is CRAZY ??!

Ooooo, good question. The reason for this post being so enormous is because I just felt like writing a lot today. Also, I just checked out Stephanie Perkins blog and loved it because it was so long and wonderful !

STARS!!

Hey! British Freak here ready to report any news on STARS!! Alright, what is with Demi Lovato?
She went under the radar a few months ago because of some depression issue and is now working her way back to the top.  Although, I am not a huge fan of Demi's I wish her the best in her recovery. Now on to Selena Gomez!! I don't know if you guys know that I am big fan of Selena's. Yes, I do love 80's and 70's music which is quite unusual for teenager , but I like unusual.
Anyways, it might be hard to believe that I like present time music as well, but it is true.
Selena Gomez is a wonderful person that is always trying to help out the world . I am sad to see that she is dating Justin Bieber now. She is too good for him and I believe that she is just doing it for publicity. That is it for now! See ya later !

Romeo and Juliet

I just watched Romeo and Juliet. Man, such passion and such love. I have watched the 1968 version, West Side Story, and the 1996 version with Leonardo DiCaprio. The 1996 version is a little weird , but Leonardo is so hot in the movie you can put aside the weirdness.

Song addicted to right now : You and Me - The Wannadies
First heard it from Romeo + Juliet - 1996 version

Until next time,

The Royal Wedding

The royal wedding. Everybody is talking about it. Wow, I just loved that wedding dress. So, beautiful. I think they are so down to earth people. Prince William even went outside and shook people's hands before the ceremony .

HATS, HATS , and HATS!!!! Nobody does it like the British. Did you see the kisses !?? British tend to be not very public people with their emotions. When they kissed on the balcony , not once , but twice it was so romantic ! This wedding will live on forever. People will ask you years from now, "Where were you when Prince William and Kate got married?"

Until next time,

The Perfect Man

The perfect man. Is there such a thing as the perfect man ? If so, where is this person ? Does he really exist ? Lots of people will be logical and say no. I don't know my opinion on this. I guess there really isn't such a thing as perfect. I was watching The Perfect Man , hence the title of today's blog. I love this movie. I have seen bits and pieces of it , but all in all it is a pretty good film. Lots of my friends wonder why I decided to name my blog , The Traveling Gypsy . Well, I named it partly after The Perfect Man . In this film, the main character , Holly, has a blog. The Girl on the Move , Holly's blog , is about her traveling life moving around from city to city. I move around a lot , more than most people. Although, I am not moving as much as Holly did in the movie. So, I was going to use this blog as a book about a girl who travels. Instead, I use this blog as an escape from my life. I vent out my feelings and thoughts. I was messing around with my design and it actually turns out that I do have people looking on here. I used to think that I was just writing and no one was listening. Thanks for listening , reader.

Until next time,

Random Stuff

Greetings !
Alright, today was Earth Day. I have always loved Earth Day. I like that people across the globe come together to help the earth.

I have been so stressed with school ! I guess I just see it as this huge mountain that I have to cross over. It is a lot of stress.

I guess I haven't posted anything for awhile, because I don't have anything really to post.

One song that I love at the moment : Perfect Scene : Mercy Mercedes

27 Dresses

Well, I was just watching 27 Dresses . I can never get tired of that movie. Such love , such romance. I wish I had a guy like Kevin. Wow. I don't how many of you have actually seen the movie , but I highly recommend it. I am not going to lie to you it is a chick flick. That is what makes it such a wonderful movie. Kevin is so sweet and honest. The true man.

Sunday, March 13, 2011

Alright , so the story with me . Nothing really new going on with me . School is stressful as usual . Time seems to fly past me . If I could wish for anything in the world , I would wish for more time . Days , weeks , months , years go by in an instant .
I hate Daylight savings . I love it in the fall , but I hate in the spring . Why does the day have to fly past ?! Oh look , it was just one now it is 5 ! There isn't enough hours in every day to get everything done !! Then some days , it just crawls past you and you feel like the day will never be over .

Hi guys ,
Alright , I finally finished my outline for my research report !! Phew ! It feels good to have it turned in . I have to stop this procrastinating thing . After a week of busy , busy I am ready to chill for the weekend . A little bit of homework , clean my room , and just chill . Have a good weekend guys !

Wednesday, March 2, 2011

Hi guys ,
Alright , so what is new in the life of a procrastinator/hormonally unbalance teen ? Nothing much , I wake up every morning to the sound of my alarm clock chiming in my ear alerting me of a new day . What follows next is a blur, I race downstairs and start on my school work . Every day , it seems the same . Will it ever change ?

Recently , I realized that other teens have the same unbalanced , insecure feelings that I feel day in and day out . I have my good days and my just plain awful days . I think that is life though . I wish I didn't feel like I am fat and stupid , that my life won't end out working at McDonalds .
After talking with a good friend , I realized that similarly he feels the same way . It is normal . So , maybe I am not a freak after all .

I hope to be a great writer one day . That is why I spend as much time as I do writing this blog . Although, my friends and weirdos dropping in just want to get entertained , I write this for me . I write this to let out all of my feelings after a day .

Hi guys ,
I just saw the King's Speech , what an outstanding movie !! Not only does the history blow you away , but the obstacles that King George the 6th overcomes . It is a movie that I would watch again and again . I don't want to give it away , but I would recommend that you see it !! Although , that it is rated R , it was only rated R because of some vulgar language . 
I wouldn't worry about that too much , it wonderful movie that won my vote .
Hi guys ,
I just wanted to tell you all that I have been really busy and life has been beyond hectic over here . I will try to blog more , but I just haven't gotten the time yet . I wanted to do so many more blogs that I have done , but I just didn't get the chance . Have a great week ! Check back for more blogs .

Hi guys ,
How are you doing ? Alright so I wanted to mention something that so stupid .
One word , Snooki . Who is this big blob of hair ?!?! What has the world
come to when people start liking a blob of hair ? Nicole Polizzi, a.k.a Snooki , is a stupid chick who thinks she is amazing . First off who even watches Jersey  Shore ????
Then there is her big blob of hair . Who does this ?!?!?! Also this girl is just flat out stupid .
What has the world come to when people are watching this weirdo ? There is nothing nice or good about this girl . Do people even care about her ? No .
I am not trying to be harsh towards this weirdo , but really why do we even let people like this be on TV ?

Hi guys ,
How are you doing ? I was just thinking of how people ditch their carts . For example you are at the grocery store and you bring your shopping cart to your car . What do you do with it when you all done unloading ? Do you just leave there by the curb or do you take the courtesy to walk it back to the store ? In California I witnessed people of different ages just leaving their carts everywhere . Sometimes right in a parking spot .
What has the world come to that people are so lazy that they can't put their carts away ? 

So let me get this straight , you pay millions of dollars every year for a fancy gym , but you can't put away a shopping cart ??!!?
Not only that , but there is always a place to put your shopping carts in the parking lot .
I have witnessed people just ditch their carts literately 20 steps away from the cart rack .
Has the human population gotten so lazy that they don't even bother with putting away their carts ? While in Idaho , I have only on a rare occasion seen people ditch their carts .
While in California they leave their carts scattered everywhere .
It is okay to ditch your cart when it is an emergency like you just found out your father is sick and you need to get to him as soon as possible . Or your small infant can't be left in the car while you go put your shopping cart back in the store . Whatever the emergency is you can leave your cart , but don't just leave it there when you have nothing else to do .
You are expecting people to pick up after you , even though people are paid to pick up your carts it isn't right to expect it .
Comment and let me know what you think .

Hi guys ,
I was just in the neighborhood  , and I was thinking about how much people stare. Do people realize when they are staring ? Is that just a reaction or are they just obtuse ?
Do they realize they are staring , but don't bother to stop ?  Are we that interesting that they need to stare at us ? Just today the neighbor girl continued  to stare at my dog and me . I was just outside brushing my dog and she came along on her scooter . Why did she continued to stare at me ? At the age of 11 or so she didn't have enough skills to realize that it wasn't nice to stare .  Her parents obviously  didn't tell her that staring is rude .
Not only kids do stare though , I see grown adults staring as well . Perhaps we are really interesting to them . Parents don't bother to teach their children anymore .  Staring is not nice and very rude . Today I was outside talking to my best friend on the phone and we were talking about our daily lives . Then the neighbor girl and another girl came along , they both stared at me . Do you stare ? It is alright to take a glance at someone , but to continue to stare at a person is rude . After telling my best friend , we agreed that the world was filled with wacko people . We live in a wacko world .

The Kindle

Today , the Kindle is a big deal for me . Alright we have newspapers , magazines , books , ect. so why do we need a Kindle ? What is the big deal about this thing ? Have we really become this lazy ? So now we don't have to hull around a bunch of books , but we have the chance to bring another electronic device ? So instead of reading a good book with actual pages we choose a computer screen ? What happened to people enjoying going over to the library or the bookstore to get a new book ? That wonderful smell of just printed pages and the words that fill your mind . It is all still there . We have become lazy . We don't need a computer screen to drag around to the beach , football game , or whatever other activity . For me that brand new book smell , turning the pages manually , is better than sitting down with a computer screen .
What are your thoughts ? Comment and let me know .

I was at Panda Express tonight and I observed people of all ages talking and texting on their phones . Now this is not the first time , I have observed this . Has our world become a secluded place ? Will no one speak to each other in person ? I am not telling you to stop using phones at all , but take a step back . Is your life consumed with phones ? Do you constantly forget to talk with people in person , but still have time for your phone friends ? Now phones can be a excellent way to communicate between people , but when is it enough ? Families across the country don't speak though dinner or basically at all and are always attached to their phones . I understand that their parents work late hours and are home at 5 or 6 every day and the kids leave at 6:30 and come home at 4:00 , but what do they do then ? They only have a short window of time to spend with their family , but instead they spend it with their phones or other internet devices . When their parents do get a Saturday to spend with their children , they spend it going to the movies . Hopefully the real world and in person relationships will not die out .
Comment and let me know what you think .
Hello guys ,


How are you ? I am doing alright . Same old , same old . School work , and the teenage life . As a teenager , I feel as if the world is going to collapse . Everything is a huge deal to me .
So what is a huge deal for me today ? Well Miley Cyrus  is a big deal for me .
I don't like Miley Cyrus . I used enjoy watching her show when I was younger , but no she is advertised way too much . Not only do you see her on every little girl's cloths , but now when you go into the purse or clothing aisles you are forced to look at Miley Cyrus labels jammed in your face . Even if you are trying to buy a cereal box her face haunts you everywhere you look . If you turn on Disneychannel you are more than likely to see Hannah Montana reruns . Do you know that you can buy a whole room with everything Hannah Montana or Miley Cyrus ? Not only that she canceled her show because she wanted to continue with her singing . She used be an innocent little girl and people used to enjoy seeing her every Saturday morning . Now she is a different person .
Her music sounds sexy and inappropriate for young girls . She has a taken a wrong turn , she was trying
to sell her products to young girls from the age of 4 to the age of 13 . When she decided to take a different turn she gave up her young fans , instead she got older teenagers . She is only 17 and yet she seems as if she is screaming , " I am  thirty !!!" Do people really want to buy her music and if so who really does buy her music ? Do parents let there 6 year old daughters listen to her "new " music ? Although she may be an idol for young girls everywhere , she isn't . She only became famous because her daddy is .
She is not even a really good singer . Sure , she has a little talent I will give her that , but
she is a world wide famous singer ? No . Do you see her helping out in the community or giving away her money . No .
What do you think ? Comment and let me know .

Reuse , Reduce , Recycle

Hi guys ,
Here is that wonderful essay that I promised you all . I hope this essay will urge you to start recycling and make a difference .


Reuse, Reduce, Recycle




Do you ever wonder if recycling your trash is actually worth the effort? Well many people don't think it matters if you throw your household items in the recycling bin or the rubbish bin. It does make a difference. Recycling is critical for our planet if life as we know is to continue for centuries to come. Recycling not only can save the environment in which we live, we can actually earn money from this endeavor as well as strengthen the ties to our own communities.

First off when you put that one soda can in the refuse bin you are letting one more can go to the landfill. Thousands of landfills surround our lands, where millions of garbage trucks come and drop off their waste. Now you may be naive enough to think that the junk just magically goes away; no, it sits there for thousands and even millions of years. Think about this next time you are tempted to toss that can into the garbage: just one can takes eighty to one hundred years to decompose. Furthermore, plastic takes up to one thousand years to decompose and glass takes over one million years to break down! Not only can a plastic bottle save long years rotting in a landfill , but the environmental damage caused by emissions in producing a new bottle and the oil used to manufacture it will last for generations. While many people may debate that the earth will always stay pure, clean and regenerate itself, that point is not valid if not outright ridiculous . If we all keep polluting the earth with more and more garbage, the earth resources such as clean drinking water, will become spoiled and unclean. When you recycle you are making a difference and changing the environment for future generations to come. You can recycle discarded personal belongings, household items, glass, cardboard, plastic, cans, paper, and virtually everything you use in your daily life. Some may dispute that recycling is too much of an effort, it really isn’t. If you live in the city, you will have a refuse bin and a recycling bin. It takes one small change just putting it in another bin. While most people that live in rural county areas might have a more valid argument that recycling is a hassle, they too, have options to transport garbage into town. Perhaps the most popular excuse people use NOT to recycle goes like this: "Gee, I am only one person. What difference can I possibly make?" One plastic bag CAN and WILL make a difference and if we all help out, together we can substantially improve our environment. Every bit makes a difference. To illustrate this point, Stanford University saved the equivalent of 33,913 trees and the need for 636 tons of iron ore, coal, and limestone by just recycling items on their campus alone for one year. Did you know that it takes 75,000 trees every week to print the Sunday edition of the New York Times? Maybe next time you won't be careless and just dump your newspaper in the garbage can Plastic rings -the kind you see holding a six pack together- end up in our oceans literally strangling the sea life as well as birds. Animals perceive this trash to be food and ingest it with fatal consequences. Do your part. Save and recycle everything from food packaging to vehicles parts. The life it may save may be the wonderful creatures around us as well as our future generations.

Not only do you help the environment by recycling, but you can also make money along the way. Most recycling centers pay you money for your waste. You can be paid for your glass, plastic, metal, even old appliances. Over time this can add up to hundreds of dollars in your pocket annually. In addition, we need think reuse. All kinds of new items can be made with old, unwanted materials instead of just letting them sit around taking up space. You can make anything from purses made out of old, worn t-shirts to glass bottles made into snow globes. Also there are many functional items made from recycled junk such as bottle cap chairs and food wrapper purses. (see resources image 7 , 5, and 6 ) There is an endless list of things you can make and use in everyday life. By saving your milk cartons, plastic bags , paper bags , aluminum cans , etc. you can make fantastic creations for your home, gifts or simply breathe new life into something previously thought of as trash. Lastly, there is a growing amount of artists who make an honest living by turning trash into masterpieces. (see resources , image 8 and 9)These magicians of recycling create green creations wowing their viewers and urging more people to recycle.

Finally, by recycling you can bring your community together. Every little part of your community can help out and have fun. You can build new friendships and learn more about the different people in your community. By getting everyone involved, we will be one more step closer to having a trash free world .You can collect recyclables around your city and then use the income to build community parks, libraries, or whatever your town needs.

In conclusion, recycling is crucial if you want the environment to survive for many years to come. Do you really want to tell your grandchildren fifty years from now about how the world was before it was polluted with trash? We have to change our destructive ways before we irreparably ruin earth. Helping the environment, making money, and bringing communities together are important goals we all should strive toward. Whatever you do, remember every bit makes difference so reuse, reduce , and recycle!

Wow , I was just thinking of how people are so obsessed  with Justin Bieber . If I hear another

I have Bieber Fever , I could lose it . I really hate Justin Bieber . His weird music seems
to take control of people all over the world , even adults are getting " I love Justin Bieber " tattoos .
Who does this ? Perhaps he is an alien from outer space who has come to take over the average person's mind . Even strong muscle dudes who pull up in Harley motorcycles are dying to have the chance to meet Justin Bieber . What has the world come to ? What is so likable about this guy ? Does he have beautiful hair ? No , he has hair that looks like it is a wig . Not only does his hit song , "Baby , Baby " have bad lyrics , animals are lying down and moaning of the sound of that song . Although most may say that I am harsh and should give this blond kid a chance , we shouldn't give him a chance . He is has taken over our lives . Who is Justin Bieber ? The next Bill Gates ? No . Yeah , he has a lot of money , but he isn't an icon , he hasn't done anything great for the world . People wake up !! Justin Bieber is a fraud .
What do you think is so great about Justin Bieber ? Comment and enlighten me .
