A brand new summer-themed 45!!!

Here's an all new, long time coming, 45 second speed ups.

I went on a mission trip to rebuild houses awhile ago in the middle of nowhere, which turned out being really unsanitary, but SO MUCH FUN!!!!

So, here's the tape.

You know what to do....song suggestions?

SPRRRRIIIINNNNG BREAK!!!!

And I have had zero time to make that infomercial. Trust me, I'll find a day....Saturday and Sunday, I shoot!!!!

Anyways, here's a vignette I wrote! (Facebook friends will have already seen)

It references the song "Step Right Up" by the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, which can be listened to here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2UMKRpy11Q

Here goes!!

STEP RIGHT UP

Step right up, 

shoot an

arrow

at the target. 

My heart is an

easy thing

for you to

hit. 

These words

are sung, 

spoken in

such a whimsical manner, 

inviting one

to win their heart, 

to walk away

filled with love. 

When given thought, however,

these words could be meant

maliciously. 

Open my eyes

and find myself standing 

amidst

an evil carnival,

offering my heart 

too much of it, 

too often. 

I see 

the glass of trust

half-full, 

though it is truly

half-empty, 

if any at all. 

My heart seems to

give itself away, 

yet my hands accepts

in handing it

while my mind closes its eyes. 

Step right up, 

shoot an arrow

at the target. 

My heart, 

indeed, 

is easy to hit. 

Arrow pulled and 

rising. 

A shot, 

straight through, 

lands perfectly with ease. 

It hurts like

hell, 

but I attempt to

cover it up, 

kick the dust 

over the

wounds

so that no one will

see. 

But those who

truly know me

see sadness in my eyes, 

my heart 

laden with pain. 

Why?

I stop to ask myself. 

Why do I

give my whole heart

to those who are

bitter, 

evil?

Why do I let

their demons

rule me, 

as I attempt to

fix

what my soul

simply cannot?

I see

the problems, 

yet no

answers. 

Step right up, 

I seem to say. 

My heart 

is an easy thing

for you to hit. 

And then

you do. 

Arrow after

arrow, 

perfectly painful, 

striking through

the one thing that

keeps me

living. 

You've won

the bloody prize. 

Take my heart, 

covered in 

blood, 

drenched in

lies, 

ripped with

betrayal, 

and stitched up

with assurance and 

love. 

But these stitches

only break

as the

arrows

fly again, 

snapping whatever

good intentions

anyone

may have had. 

You hold it high, 

this heart

that you have won, 

for you know

what you will do. 

Though I will

hide, 

you will find me, 

attempt to

destroy my

heart

so that it will

beg for mercy,

deeming you its

savior. 

Though I will

resist, 

you will still try

to slay me. 

But no matter

the number of knives 

you toss, 

the number

of times you try

to kill

my heart, 

it will never

submit

and

die. 

It will always

crawl away, 

bruised

and

bleeding, 

yet always trying

for a better

tommorrow. 

Your satisfaction lowers, 

for the 

superiority 

you wish to get

by beating my heart

is something 

that your evil fists

shall never 

obtain. 

Your anger 

rises, 

for my heart

is learning, 

finally 

learning

how to

hold itself back. 

For one's

heart

is meant to be given, 

not to the

evil

who eye it as a

target, 

but to those who, 

like the whimsical song, 

will take it

as a gift. 

Indeed, 

my heart is learning

how to stay away

from the ones

who beat it

before, 

from the ones

who

do not deserve

to keep it

in their

wicked

grasp. 

My heart now

understands

that when you 

tremble

 and

wait for

change, 

nothing 

shall heal itself. 

But, alas, 

some things

are not meant to be

healed. 

Sometimes, 

we must trudge away

with holes in our hearts

from where 

gladness

used to reside, 

and tell ourselves

that this

gladness

has turned away

and shall never

return itself. 

We must then

tell ourselves

that gladness had turned to

pain

and that the holes will 

close

when we see

that we no longer wallow

with the evil. 

My heart

escapes

the carnival of evil

and learns to

stand

and bear with

pain from the past. 

Indeed, 

I shall stand

at a bright carnival, 

where the sun shines

upon the faces

of good intent. 

Step right up, 

I will say.  

Shoot an arrow at

the target. 

But take the prize

to obtain, 

to love, 

to keep

for the good. 

I begin the walk

to the brighter days

that I had attempted

to achieve

from evil.

In a world

of more innocent hearts, 

some accept

the bleeding difference. 

In time, 

the stitches shall

close

and the journey

back to the evil carnival, 

believing it good, 

will be

discontinued. 

Step right up, 

shoot an arrow at the

target. 

My heart is an

easy thing

for you to

win.

Step right up

and feel the 

darkness

rush away behind you. 

For good. 

About my Week (s)

Yes, this thing has arisen. I went this weekend and contracted it through a simple two hour film....Never Say Never.

And now I have.......

BIEBER FEVER!!!!!!!!!

That's why I put up the poll asking ya'lls opinion.

If it hadn't malfunctioned, my blog would be Bieber-ized right now!!!!

Dumb HTMLS!!!!!!!

Shooting this weekend for music video......

OOH GUESS WHAT THIS WEEK AND THE FOLLOWING WEEK IS!?!?!?!

PARAMORE WEEK(S)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah...today is the first day of Paramore week. Each day, I wear a Paramore shirt and celebrate a Paramore song until March 7th...

WHICH IS PARAMORE DAY!!!!!!! Yeppers, it's my two year anniversary if being obsessed with Paramore!!

Then, after that, it's the after-party where I just wear the rest of my shirts!

Anyway, yeah!

I have the INFOMERCIAL!!!

Despite my differentiated votes, The Wonder Pan has won!

But don't worry, darlings! I shall eventually make all those listed infomercials, okay? :)

WONDER PAN shall include a testimonial from Ke$ha....and some examples of things you could do with it!

Tomorrow (Saturday), I shall be with the Forensics team, hopefully having some fun at a practice tournament because the real one got cancelled. :(((((((((((((

So, when you roll out of bed that morning, think, "Hey! I need to wish Rebekah and her pals some luck at getting good ratings!" (Storytelling and prose, if you'd like to get specific)

By the way, I am currently working on a recoding of "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence + The Machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Expect it no later than President's Day, okay!

Music Video

Here's an AWESOME music video that my friend Amy and I spent a long time on!!


This video is Paramore's "Pressure"

Terribly sorry!

This is technically two days off from the Not-So-Elite four's release date! You see, I've been up late with rehersals from "King Arthur's Court."

It's a play that me, my BFF, and her bro are all in! If you are interested, it's at Freedom Middle School on saturday, one at 2PM and one at 7PM.

Here's the video!!!

Wisdom tooth update.

Warning: If you don't want to know about my health when it gets icky, do not read the post below, just skip directly to the videos.

I had to make a playlist for my anesthesia, so that was nice. I went out like a light....I mean, if that's even a phrase. They said it only took 45 minutes to cut out all of my wisom teeth.

So, I've had a helmet with ice on it, red marks on my face from the ice, a bad case of stomach ache, and a puppy by my side, sleeping.

But enough about me! Here's three songs!

Addicted to Love by Florence + The Machine-this was the song I was listening to when I was put to sleep!!


Daughtry-Life after you: A pretty popular song....you may have heard it, but it's amazing!!




Daughtry-Ghost of me: awesome song...will one day make a music video with the ghosts

Fireflight!

This was the one with most votes!!

Unbreakable-AMAZINGNESSSS!


Forever-How true and beautiful this is


Wasn't that GREAT?!?! Here's a bonus...MORE PARAMORE! It's another soft, pretty one from the 2007 album Riot!!

We are broken-a beautiful, beautiful song...combined with pic from Twilight to make it BETTER!!!

ZEE DAALA!

Yes. I am now is Boston, Massachusetts, with my mom and cousin. I am havign a great time already, so...ART TEACHER 13's release will be up soon. This week, I swear! But until then, here's Florence + The Machine!!


Drumming Song-this is my FAVORITE Florence song!!but all of the real videos for this song were unable to embed.




Heavy In Your Arms-her song on the Eclipse soundtrack, which is AWESOME!!!!!

PARAMORE-IFICATION!!!

Here's some YouTube music videos that should turn you to PARAMORE-ITIS though it takes a looong time to be as obsessed as me. I know all their names....but anyway!

"The Only Exception"-the one I am playing on guitar


"Ignorance" used in the beginning of AT8...yeah, the video's weird, but give it a chance!!



More PARAMORE-AWESOMENESS coming up soon!

Academic Fair!!!

I'll post a pic of my large, crazy board when I return from this hectic event. See, we wrote a research paper and now, we have to make that paper come to life. This is REALLY a sign that the year is coming to and end now!!!!!!

Anyway, mine was about music studious. So, what I'm doing is running a playlist (because I had to play my music, I knew that I would have to and bless people with the gifts of Paramore, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and Florence + The Machine) and there are a bunch of crazy papers on a board.

Those papers explain diferent effects in different songs and how they are made in a real studio! I hope I do good....

Give Paramore some love!

Because it's PARAMORE DAY!!! One year ago, I clicked Buy Album on RIOT and that, my friends, was one of the best decisions of my life! In one year, I have gone from not even knowing Paramore existed to becoming an obsessed #1 fan! They have a song for every moment, feeling, for EVERYTHING I have gone through. They are practically perfect and I literally praise God that I found them. YEAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Hallelujah!

Today is the first day EVER that I have worn my amazing ignorance shirt without it reaping bad luck! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH HALLEUUUUUUUUJAH!!!

Fingerless gloves!

I got sweet Paramore fingerless gloves today at Hot Topic, best store ever!!! I also got the second book in a pretty cool series, Maximum Ride!! It's about six kids who were given to a School when they were babies for an experiment. This experiment gave them WINGS!!! But, they escaped...and get into a lot of troubling events! It's awesome!!

YESSS!

Paramore's new video is finally on iTunes! YES! Now I can buy it and watch again and again!

Paramore!

The new video, Brick by Boring Brick, will be out soon!!! I can't wait!

Crazed dreams!

I have day-dreamed myself singing these songs in talent shows and everyone whooping:
