I think everything just changed forever.
I heard this song for the very first time on the radio today. It's called 'Fireflies' by Owl City. I'd previously heard one of their other songs that I like, called 'Hello Seattle'. Now, let me inform you if you don't already know, but Owl City sounds nuh-thing like Queen. I've been drowning myself in 'Fireflies' all day since I heard it on the radio. The music sounds really awesome. Lately, I haven't been listening to Queen because I've heard them so much, I think maybe TOO much. It just doesn't give me one of those awesome slaps-across-the-face type feelings like it used to. Different-ish, much? I don't know. Maybe I'm just discovering more about myself. Anyways, things are different lately. Today I just got told by one of my "friends" that I was acting mean and needed to stop. And at the dance last Friday, I was bringing everybody down because I was upset, and my friend slapped me and told me to quit acting so stupid! The events occurring in this past month have been wake-up calls. Days are going by too fast. I really need a moment to soak all of this in. I'll be back sometime next week I guess. For now I'll be in my room with the door locked and the blinds closed trying to figure out what is going on while I eat a third of my Halloween candy. Bye ♥
NOTICE: If you try to read this note, you will find this confusing very quickly. I am the only one who will be able to decipher this. It has to do with certain stuff I can't fully write, so I put it in this form to get it off my chest.

Ok, ok, ok. If you are going crazy trying to figure out what this means, even though you never will (unless you secretly find the meaning of it hidden in my room - which you WON'T!), I have some hints.
1) All the y's stand for you.
2) All the i's stand for I, it, or inside.
3) The "omg" actually stands for what it stands for, but the "bff" stands for: be fearless for.... Oh yeah, the SB stands for SO BAD! ;D
4) None of the f's stand for vulgar language ;]]
You oughtta know by nowwwww.
Spirit Week is going on right now at my junior high. It inhales vigorously.
Today was "Hat & Shades" day. I didn't wear a hat, because I didn't wanna mess up my hair of course, but I did wear my knock-off Ray-Bans and walked down the hall with my knees bent slightly and my arms swinging. I looked so fly. Well, for the most part ;]
Tomorrow is Football Team colors. I own nothing of Ohio-State on it, so I'm just gonna wear white. Oh yeah.
Wednesday is Wacky Wednesday. According to my principal, every Wednesday is wacky. I'm gonna put my hair up in pigtails that day, but I'm not sure what the rest of my outfit will be... Probly will involve insane makeup, too.
Thursday is Superhero day, and may I ask, "What the heck is it supposed to freaking be?!" I await details on that subject.
Friday is unknown. Simple.
So that's my post on the Spirit week that continues to inhale vigorously. 'Nuff said.
Today was filled with Amy-ness...
The day started off with a stupid play that had nothing to to with me. Then we had all our classes, but before seventh period I saw Anthony in the hall, went up to him and nearly shouted, "YOU ARE FREAKIN SCARY!" His face was priceless; complete and utter shock. I walked off with a smirk, knowing that I did mean what I said, because Wednesday he gave me quite a scare that I never showed. Anyways, with less confusion on that, I went to my eighth period class. During eighth period, I found out it was my former English teacher's birthday! After the bell rang, I stopped at Anthony's locker to talk. I glanced over and saw my English teacher standing outside his classroom and gasped, "AA! I have to say 'happy birthday' to him!" I ran over there, lifted my arms in the air and said excitedly, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" He thanked me and said things were going good. He also stated, "Hey, your buddy stopped by and told me I was old!" Then I asked, "Which buddy?" and he said, "Subway." Confused, I go, "Who's Subway?" And he stepped forward and said, "Heath!" "Ohhh him..." We both laughed. Then i went, "Well, my other buddy said you were old, too." Then he asks who and I said Anthony did. "Anthony....??" He asks. Then I turn around and see Anthony walking behind me and point, "That Anthony!" "Oh, Well, NOT TO MY FACE!" My English teacher exaggerates. Anthony goes, "Huh?!" And I say, "Mr. Old!" Then I say goodbye and Anthony goes, "You would tell him that..." Then we laugh. After walking down the hall a little, my health teacher approaches me and goes, "You should ask him some rock and roll trivia!" And I ask, "Why?!" And my health teacher replies, "Just to see if he knows anything about rock and roll." So then, I see my English teacher down the hall and yell, "YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT QUEEN!" Smirking to himself, he goes, " I know their lead singer died!" And I ask, "What of?" He then hesitates and goes, "A.I.D.S..." I nod in agreement and so does my health teacher. (Of course he would!) Then I say "See ya," and walk off. Running to catch up to Anthony on the rainy ground outside, my flip flops come up, causing me to slip and fall. Anthony then rudely points and laughs, but I laugh along too. "I'm embarrassed to be seen with you!!" He goes, as we walk to the bus. And that was it...
How was that, Nick?
^ Heard it playing on the TV, so ya know.
Wow, I haven't made a post in a week. Sorry guys, there's just really nothing to talk about... I did get a new vinyl Queen album, though. It's Sheer Heart Attack, and it has a typo on the LABEL! Instead of "Brighton Rock", it's "Brighten Rock". Right when I pulled it out of the sleeve for the first time I noticed the mistake. Also, to my surprise, the record came with a lyric sheet with a small poster on the other side. It's so cool! I HAVE to hang it up. For now I'm memorizing the lyrics to Bring Back That Leroy Brown; they're trickier than one would think. I wish my record player worked! I need some of those fuzzies and crackles. Well, see ya laytah.
Another update, I guess.
Things are going great right now. Really great. It's just that I've been sad today because the weather's got me down. So I've been listening to I Feel Like a Bullet (In the gun of Robert Ford) on repeat for god knows how long. *Sigh* I hope the weather is nice tomorrow...
School has been going good, I guess. I don't really know what else to say upon that subject...
Saturday I went to the mall and bought some new threads. I am in love with the new Queen shirt I bought! It's yellow, and it says QUEEN across the bust with a picture that looks like their album, Jazz, but instead of Jazz it says Tour '78. It's so cool! I was gonna have my mom curl my hair for me today, but it's a good thing she didn't because the curls would have fallen out with all the bad weather and such...
Ian went back to college! YAY! Just thought I'd share that ;]
Well that's all I have for now. I wish the scanner worked, then I could share all the doodles I draw in study hall. I have a separate notebook for study hall, and usually I write in it everyday about my previous day. That notebook is really super duper personal so none of the written stuff in there would be going on here. OH NO. Hahahaha. Just the doodles. Mostly I draw stuff from That 70's show. Man, I love that show! I could talk about how funny it is and how awkward it can be at times for hours and hours but I'd rather not. That's all I have for now. See ya guys laytah.
What's your favorite Beatles song? Bonus points if you share it with us.
Because. Because it's a good song. ;]
Ok, you read my story from the first day - Now I'm here once again to share the story of what went down this first week of school...
Tuesday was nothing special; Teachers still continued to say the rules. Oh, except for English. We took this test and I remember there was one question where one of the answers was 'lie in wait'. It's a lyric in one of my favorite Queen songs, and from then on I couldn't get the line out of my head "I lie in wait with open eyes, I carry on through stormy skies" from 'Lily of the Valley'. It wasn't even funny - for the rest of the period I couldn't stop thinking about Queen... Which lead me to thinking of something else :]
Wednesday was simply boring. There.
Thursday - what a day! The fun started early in the morning, as Mckayla snatched my ipod to play the music game with me. I told her to pick songs from Led Zeppelin, since she already knows I can name the Queen songs less than a second after they start playing. For some reason I was just off at them. I couldn't name about any of the songs she picked. I leaned back in the middle of the game to see who was sitting down at the end of the table and caught Anthony looking at me. I smiled at him but then looked away... Later in the day I was walking through the halls and Heath gave me that look again like he wanted to say something. Once I caught up with him he showed off his shirt to me. As I saw the gold letters that spelled out 'Queen' and the gold crest along with it, I said. "Coool!!" But then I realised something... That's MY shirt! "Hey, I have that same shirt!!" I said. Heath didn't say anything else, which was kind of weird. I got that same shirt first - didn't he ever see me wearing it last year? I LOVED that shirt. Anyways, when we were at the end of the hallway I faced him and asked him a few questions. Then for like about 5 seconds we were just looking at each other without saying anything. It was so weird, so I awkwardly looked at him and said "....Ok, see ya" And walked off with my friend Abby. She asked me, "Was that your boyfriend??" And I looked at her disgustingly and said in emphasis, "WAS." She laughed. That's all I really got about Thursday...
Today was pretty cool also. My history teacher assigned us to bring in our own "primary resource". So I was like, "Perfect, I'll just bring in my record album!" So I did, just not the vinyl. Too valuble, huh. Everyone I knew could guess what I brought. They all said, "Queen something?" Hahaha. In the middle of the day Heath came up to me while I was at my locker and showed off another one of his shirts to me. This time it was "The Who" with a very cool british flag design. Man, he must get a kick out of showing his shirts to me or something. So then I showed off mine back. It was a very detailed Queen crest along with the words "We Will Rock You" on it. It looked so awesome! Then at the end of the day I saw Heath and he said something to me, so I just waved him to come over. He came by my locker and I pulled out the cover of News Of The World and handed it to him. "Isn't that cool?" I asked. He looked at it and told me, "My brother got a copy of this that was in good enough condition for it to be framed for a buck." I was like, "Whoaaaa." Then we showed it to my health teacher, who, to my surprise, likes classic rock. We all had a very interesting chat about Queen and how that album cover was one of Queen's best. Then Heath and I walked to the buses together and that was it...
So, I had an interesting week. Now for a three-day weekend! :D
So today was my first day of eighth grade; my second year in the junior high. I have some sort of feeling that this post is going to be a long one, so, strap on your seatbelts and get ready to go.
As I walked into the cafeteria this morning, I searched for Katie and when I sat down next to her and gave her a huge bear hug that was way too tight and we both said in unison, "I MISSED YOU!" Then I rambled on about Classic Rock and headbanged to Tenement Funster...
Before first period, I stopped by my locker only to find that someone else's stuff was in it. Then, the seventh grader who lives on the same street as me said that was his locker. So, we had to straighten that out and luckily he was the one to get a new locker because I liked the spot where it was. After putting my stuff away, Heath came up to me and said, "I'm in the corner, and everyone on each side of me is gonna hate me!!" I smiled and laughed. I kinda missed all the funny things that he used to say...
First period was just a mess. Aaron was there for one, which I'm not even going to explain. And, I didn't have a pencil to my surprise, and I just didn't wanna be there. So yeah. Second period was HEALTH! All the teacher did was say the rules and stuff, but I'm in that same classroom for third period study hall, so it was cool to just stay in there. Kaitlyn came in and we talked a lot. I'm glad she decided not to neglect me as a friend this year. Then we moved seats and I talked to Hannah which was pretty cool, but overall study hall was boring. Guess I need to use one of my notebooks for doodling. Fourth period science was very cool. I love my teacher! We played a game in class; You had to say your name and something you liked. When it was my turn I said "I'm Amy, and I love music!!" DUHHH. How could I not say that?!
Moving on to lunch. Katie and I were skipping in the hall arm in arm on the way to the cafeteria, and I tripped! It was the funniest thing ever. So I sat down next to Mckayla, and across from my new friends Abby and Sydney. Mckayla was just gaga over my hair, and I'm not even kidding. I dyed it slightly darker, and she loves my hair dark, so she was just in love with it. I got to know Abby and Sydney, also. Abby came to my school from a private school near here, and Sydney moved here from Florida! I hate to stereotype Sydney, because I wouldn't wanna be stereotyped myself, but she does give off an emo vibe. (There, I just contradicted myself) Oh, and Abby if very, very outgoing. I love being their friend. Before we all went to recess, I had to tell them about it and Abby was like, "You have RECESS here?!?!" Hahahaha. It was so funny. So we sat down in the bleachers and I asked Mckayla frantically, "Wanna play the music game??" and she squealed, "YES!!!!!" So I named all the queen songs like mad and Abby and Sydney thought it was hilarious! On the way back to my locker, Heath sees me in the hallway and I could tell by the way he was looking at me that he wanted to say something. So he comes up to me and says, "Always remember..." And I'm like, "Remember what??" And he goes, " I don't know." And shrugs it off. I hit him on the shoulder and continue to my locker. Algebra and History were basically just rules, so I wont write about that. On the way out of history theres a shorter route to get the reading room, but I decided not to take it so I'd have a chance at seeing Anthony in the hallway by his locker. Weirdly enough, it was really close to my old one. He passed me by without even seeing me, and I did a double take after that and went, "What the crap?!" 'Cause we were like THIS close and he still didn't see me. Funny, funny... So that was today. A good day. Yay for being at the junior high again! :D
I start school in about 2 days.
I'm looking forward to it, but then again I'm also not. It's weird, entering 8th grade. It's going to be so weird going into the cafeteria and none of my 8th grade friends will be there. Only Katie and Heath will be there, and don't even get me started on how I feel about THAT subject ;]. My goal this year is to put some sense into the 7th graders with a conscious effort. And by 'put some sense into them', I mean music-wise. (Jeez, it's storming like crazy right now!) Anyways, I look forward to making some friends this year and overall discovering more Queen. I've only heard one song off of Jazz and I feel like I need to buy the album as soon as I can. Unfortunately I'm still deciding on what I should do with the rest of my babysitting money. For now I'll keep listening to Sheer Heart Attack. Oh, and today I was finally un-grounded from seeing Anthony. He came over today but then we went to his house. So yeah, that's all I can really say for now. I wish I had Guitar Hero :((
I like Queen. But what else is new? XD
