Life: A fresh beginning

All through our lives we settle in to a routine, a habit. As a writer I've noticed it and I can't explain how annoying it is. But now is the time to break it. Hopefully with the help of a few people I won't be the same quiet girl this time next year. My last two years of high school are coming up and I want to remember them. I don't want to sit down in a cafe in twenty years with two kids and a "working" marriage. I don't want any of that. I want adventure, excitement,  heart break, tears, new love, I want constant change. I want to move from place to place taking photgraphs or living in New York City and write scripts for TV shows, Movies, or Broadway. I want to wear shorts and dye my hair and exspose skin with out people judge me. I want a guy to look at me and not see sex, just me. I want to be free and slowly I'll work myself to that, right?

So right now the first statement I'll make is getting my hair cut. It's kinda like my security blanket because a guy I once liked, loved my long locks. Since we broke up I've wanted to get it cut but I just couldn't do it. Now I'm doing that. I'm also going to dye it a dark brown/red/black looking color that I fell in love with. Hopefully my mother will let me dye my hair before school gets out.

After this.... I'm going to start working on my make up and then attitude. Its time for this shy girl to go far far away.

Pitch Perfect Review

A few weeks ago my friends brought over a few movies but the one that stood out the most was the one and only Pitch Perfect. Now at first I was super skeptical about a movie like this. I had never seen a trailer or saw something indicating it had been in theaters. Over the summer "Cups" had been over played with a few other songs that everybody loved to hate. I remember my friends trying to teach me the cup part and i ended up throwing a cup at her head.

I love how everything they sing is strictly A Capella. There was only a few times you heard a song being played that wasn't entirely from the voice. When the movie first started I found Bumper a very likable character even though he was a complete douche towards the Bella's. Universal really captured the hotheadedness a leader can get when they do something over and over again. I didn't really like the puking thing Aubrey had going on.

Becca is probably the closest thing you could get to a characterization of myself. She's sarcastic and closed off from the world all because she's been hurt once and doesn't want a repeat. Jesse just tries and tries to push her out of that sarcastic shell of hers and every time she starts showing her real self he ends up getting hurt by being pushed away. I highly doubt they'll be together in the second movie though, something will have to come up.

All in all the greatest character is Fat Amy- actually her name is Fat Patricia. She's the highlight of the movie to me. When people are down or Aubrey is acting like Hitler she can brighten the screen by rambling. Anyone could tell her and Bumper had a thing for each other, for Christ sake the girl had his number! And the way they always nagged each other over little things. It was kinda upsetting to see him leave before the finals. I would've loved to see his reaction to the Bella's winning. I'm sure if Amy had seen Jesse and Becca kiss then Bumper and Amy would've done the same.

I really wish on the soundtrack they would've let them cover more songs, like each individual from the riff off along with the one sang by the JFK high student at semi-finals. Becca's songs should've also been on the track as well. Still the OST is amazing no matter what.

The Riot Is Back

Ey, Ey, Eyyyy. I've been MIA for a while but never fear the riot is back! Since taking a short break from here I've really enjoyed life.

If you're wondering over Christmas Break my oldest sister took me to Universal Studios as our Christmas present this year. The first day we were at the parks our day started off with the Three Broomsticks breakfast where I had the Traditional American breakfast. Right after that we stood in line for a few hours and rode the main Harry Potter ride which in my personal opinion was great, until a dementor and spider got in my face.

Once we got back I decided to do a bold move and got my hair cut, don't worry it wasn't a lot, the big change was the fact I added a small amount of fringe into the look. I've also recently decided to start curling my hair and so far it seems to do okay but I still have trouble with the right side.

Lately I've been having troubles with my stomach so as any worried mother would do I was whisked away to the GI doctor after missing a full week of school. I almost had a meltdown when they started to take fifteen tubes of blood in the lab. I know he wants to make sure I'm healthy and I'm not dying but was fifteen really necessary? Then two days later I was back in getting an ultrasound done of my gallbladder to make sure it wasn't that affecting my health. Everything came back clean so I was right this whole time and I told them it was just my Acid Reflex and IBS.

Now I've got a research paper due in a few weeks based on the Civil War. Since I'm the weirdo of my friends I of course had to pick Myths, Legends, and Ghost stories of the Civil War. At first I was freaked out because I couldn't find five sources and then I realized that Ghost Adventures was a perfect source. I'm just glad my English teacher let me site that or I would've been screwed over.

Oh and if anyone ever gets the chance to try Malic Acid don't do it, especially people with IBS and Acid Reflux. It's super sour and makes your mouth/throat sore/raw. Also it opens up your sinuses and you get sick easily.  

Friday Freakouts

This week in general has been really tough. Last night we hosted the Night of Bands and I'm proud to say that I taught my Drum Major how to Hand Jive last night. The fact that I was one of the few who knew how to makes me very pleased. Over all I enjoyed Thursday Night Band exhibition.

Tonight the Hayden Wildcats take on the Walker Vikings in a game we all know is going to suck. Every year we get beat to a pulp at least the band is good. Well we used to be good anyway. This year just seems off, maybe its just me and my hatred for Rookies.

I hate how our band director lies to all our faces and say we do a good job when I know for fact we all suck. This year the rookies are getting babied, thats just down right annoying. Last year I was screamed at, I had to run, and I was given way to many push ups because one person was out of step. This year we have to speak to them like they're newborn babies. Its complete bullshit.

I was fussed at for moving at attention, fixing my hair during prayer, and not being quiet sometimes. This year I've got idiots doing that and when I get on to them I'm the one getting fussed at! Excuse me if I'm trying to do something right. It seems this whole band program is going downhill. The main problem is in my section. The trumpets, flutes, low brass, and percussion dont have dumb idiots like the Clarinets.

No one can get along in this section, everyone wants to run in and no one can work together. I've got a senior who cries all the fucking time and then I've got two gingers trying to actually do something but they get all the blame put on them. Then all the sophomores try to but heads and control people but do you know who has more authority than them? Me. The seating chart goes as written: Head section leader (Senior who cries), Junior co-section leader(To nice to function), Junior co-section leaders (the gingers), Tamara, Me, all the other people who dont understand order.

I'm pretty much in control of the section when some of the section leaders are gone. I've never been in such a horrible group where the underdogs try to take charge and they have no idea what the fuck they're doing. I know what to do and when to do, just like Tamara and the section leaders.I dont get why the rookies go to the dumbest fucking people in our section and ask them stuff. They're wrong and they're always going to be wrong.

The new begining!

Happy October everyone! To celebrate my favorite month I've decided to have a theme for my post.
This weeks theme is *insert drum roll here* Fall festivals.

To start off the week lets get on with it shall we? Today the  topic is about county fairs and what not to wear when you show up.

Everybody knows that when the county fairs come in its time to go out. You get to ride all the rides, see what the farmers and ranchers have been working on and mostly you get to eat the good food of the south. Deep fried everything, that's just how I and many other like it. Fairs are those few nights where you can stuff your face with funnel cakes and fried Oreo with a candy apple until you feel like you're going to explode.

Even though you're going to stuff your face like a hungry man that just got home from being abandoned in sea dont ever dress like it. It amazes me how people show up to these things looking like they have never been in public before.

When you're going out I suggest a cute flannel outfit or hoodie/crew neck sweat shirt set. You'll be cute and comfortable.

Make up= less is more. To much is hideous. You dont want to look like ursula from The Little Mermaid. Just apply some base and you eye makeup with translucent powder to finish it off.

Welcome October

First of may I just add that today is the end of September which means tomorrow will be that start of my favorite month. Yes I'm a huge fear junkie, I live, breathe, sleep Halloween. After all I am the descant of a witch. Don't worry I wont turn you into a frog like my last boyfriend.

October for me is the perfect month, the trees are turning, the air is getting colder, the pumpkins start to come out, and everything just seems better for me. Also maybe its because all the weird things start to happen. Like I said I'm a believer of the paranormal. Urban legends and demons are my thing.

To signify the ending of September I've decided to wear my floral Capri pants and a white shirt with small flowers (I'll have my pictures posted today before 5 CST) but other than I can not wait until I can hasta la vista baby to September.

Football Schedules

Something that really ticks me off is when the football schedulers screw up everything. I think that your first game should be at home against another school that is close to home that everyone can attend. No one should have to drive halfway down the state just to play someone.

Everyone knows that homecoming should be halfway through season, usually after a few away games. Not at the very last home game. That should be senior night, where the seniors on the football team, cheerleaders, band member, and auxiliary members are honored. Its signifying their last time walking on the field as being part of our small community. This is their last time walking on that field in those uniforms haring the crowd cheer for them. Now it's going to lose meaning.

Homecoming you should held after a long period of away games. Not at the end of the the season. By then its to cold and no one has any spirit left. They all just want Halloween to come and that be it.
