You Rock, Kingsley!

Okay, so I'm sure all you "Delena" fans have seen the "Meeting Demi Lovato" video that shows this particular conversation:

Fan: How's Selena?
Demi: Ask Taylor!

Now, I'm sure all of you have probably taken sides. If you haven't, then good for you! You've just gotten two free custom coding orders from Scream Designs...not! I wouldn't offer that unless I had a surefire way of knowing who's actually telling the truth when they say that they haven't picked a side. I mean, let's be honest...the majority of people do pick sides, regardless of whether they mean to or not. I can honestly say that I am on Team Demi. I like the fact that she's finally starting to break out of the Disney image. Disney's too perfect...why do you think parents like Disney stars so much?! I'll tell you why! Parents only see the front that Disney stars put on TV. As soon as the star in question starts to break free from the Disney mold, they start hating them and wanting their kids to stop watching their show, listening to their music, etc.

They don't care if the whole Disney persona is fake. They just want their kids to have "good role models." Well, in my opinion, kids shouldn't pick celebrities as their role models - that's what the parents are for! Celebrities are idols not role models.

Oh, and Kingsley from YouTube was awesome enough to post this video responding to the "Meeting Demi Lovato" video.



As you can see, he's on Team Demi as well. I'm just glad that I'm not the only one that's starting to think Selena is boring.

Crush? I hope not!

This is one of the things that I absolutely hate about being a teenager.

Hormones! Ever since the 9th grade, I've been able to completely ignore this guy - unless I had to speak to him for school. I could talk to him no problem. Yet, when I walked by him in the library (today), I got nervous. Me, nervous?! Just because I walked by a stupid boy! It makes absolutely no sense to me. I don't get crushes on people within my reach. I'm not supposed to have crushes on people I might actually have a chance with. I wanted to wait until I was at least 17. I don't turn 17 for another three months. This isn't supposed to happen. My only crushes are supposed to be on boys that are completely out-of-my-league because then I don't get embarrassed when people find out about them.

The last time I had a crush on someone that I actually knew, my so-called best friend that I had actually told ended telling my other friends that I hadn't trusted with the knowledge.

See? I have a legitimate reason to be upset about this! There's absolutely no way this is going to turn out well. Things like this NEVER do.

Happy New Year!

Alright, boys and girls, 2009 is over and done. We're now at least 2 hours into the new year, in Arizona, at least. Christmas presents were exchanged a week ago. Some people are off playing Assassin's Creed and Modern Warfare, while others - like me - are sitting in front of the computer/TV screen since all they got were clothes, money, make-up, and perfume. Some people finally fulfilled their New Year's resolution for 2009, while others just slacked off.

Like every year, several channels show their own New Year's Eve party. ABC has Dick Clark, while NBC has Carson Daly. I, myself, prefer Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. Unfortunately, my family - and everyone else who celebrated at my house - missed the countdown. The only performance we saw was Rihanna's, which was something I would have preferred to miss.

It's 2010. It's time for us all to make a new resolution. Mine is to spend a little less time in front of the computer, but we all know that's never going to happen. My other one is to lose some weight, which might actually have a chance of happening this year.

What's your New Year's resolution?

Hogwarts Extreme

I can't really think of a better category for this.

Well, as you should all know by now, I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan. That's why I decided, last night, to look up "Harry Potter roleplay forums" on Google. I came across a few different sites, but the most promising was definitely Hogwarts Extreme. You can tell that the staff spends quite a bit of time on it. Although, I do have some concerns. However, I think I'll be nice and start off with what I actually like about this site because there are several good features.
  1. Enrollment - you can tell by the registration process that they're really trying to make it seem like your signing up for Hogwarts, aside from the fact that they don't really have a rulebook in any of the Harry Potter books.
  2. Every part of the site seems to have it's own layout, which makes it easier to know where you are.
  3. Like other popular RPGs, this site has a currency - however this one just uses the currency used in the actual wizarding world featured in the Harry Potter series. They have a feature called "Daily Money" which gives you a certain amount of money everyday.
  4. Easy-to-access "lessons" and "assignments"

But like I said, there are some aspects that I dislike.
  1. Their sorting system is bogus. You pretty much write an essay based on your likes and dislikes. How does that sort you into the right house? Something like sorting should be psychology-based. Basing it on likes and dislikes is not accurate at all. Look at Hermione, Harry, and Ron! Their interests are extremely different, aside from the fact that they all hate Lord Voldemort.
  2. The class registration process is somewhat confusing. You have to check the boxes next to the class you wish to take and then click submit. The page then refreshes, but it never says anything about being enrolled in the class.
  3. They don't have alerts saying that the next lesson is posted. You have to actually look at the announcements. And if you're like me, I'm sure you'd rather not do that.
  4. Point counts don't seem to start over each school year. It should, because that's how it is in the actual series. If Ravenclaw wins the house cup, it has a higher chance of winning it the next year. Having the point count at zero at the start of each year would be beneficial because it gives the other houses a chance to win.

Now I'm done!

By the way, I'm most likely only ranting about the sorting thing because they placed me in Hufflepuff. I'm only loyal to those I truly care about, not to everyone. That's probably the one house I don't belong in.

Acting without thinking - Gryffindors
Top 10% of class and all honors and AP - Ravenclaw

I don't think I included things that could put me in Slytherin in my application since it didn't ask any psychology-based questions. I was sorted into Slytherin with the last quiz I took and it was psychology-based, therefore it would be more accurate. Hogwarts Extreme should ask that quiz developer if they could develop something like that FOR them.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I have to update the sidebar with more current information though. It's been the same for months. I've also added a CAPTCHA to the comment form, to stop the spammers from posting. Also, I posted the results to the two most recent personality quizzes I've taken. Apparently, I'd be a Slytherin if I went to Hogwarts.

Anyway, my brother's girlfriend came over for Thanksgiving dinner today. She thought we had a lot of food...which is funny since we cooked less than a fourth of what we usually do. We were supposed to have family come over, but they decided last night that they weren't going to come until TOMORROW night. In my opinion, they just shouldn't come. All they're going to do is eat our food and then go to the casino. They also usually end up staying in either my room or my brother's, and neither of us really like it when they do. Unfortunately, my parents don't exactly let us not give them our rooms. They've got money...why not use it and get a hotel?!

It's times like these where I really wish Harry Potter was real...or at least the concept of it. Then I could make them come...and not go to the casino.

Now...time to figure out why my frappucino's lid won't come off!

Essays Are Lame

Sep 07 2009 | Posted by Camille | Filed under School | 0 Comment(s)
I've officially decided that essays are lame. My English teacher made us right a "mini" research paper on how the Red Scare/Red Hunt inspired Arthur Miller to write the Crucible. Writing the actual essay was easy enough since it only had to be one page, but it was hard explaining such a large topic in one page. I ended up narrowing it down to just "blacklisting." I spent a little over half an hour typing it up, and then my computer shut down. I turned it back on at least an hour later and had to retype the last paragraph. Redoing essays is not fun at all! It's really kind of annoying, actually. I only had to redo one paragraph and got irritated! I'm gonna have to deal with it though, especially if I want to stay in the top 10% of my school's junior class. The top 10% are the most likely people to get scholarships. Trust me, I need them.

I'm honestly surprised that I rank so high though. I thought I'd be like number 120, but instead I'm ranked number 71. That's out of 831 students! I thought the C that I got at the end of the second semester during sophomore English would ruin my grade. Of course, that was because I didn't write an essay. I've learned my lesson though.
