Band/Colorguard Camp
As for actual flags/rifles/sabers, we learn to spin them first, and trust me, a flag is way easier than a rifle or saber. Flags are still hard for me though. Anyways, after we spin, we learn some flips, which are also kind of hard, and seeing as how the flagpole is about a foot taller than me, it's hard for me to flip. But it's better than tosses. You don't want to see me try to toss a flag. It's catastrophic. So, we separate our 15 or so people into flags, rifles, and sabers, and I'm a flag (thankfully), even though most people want to be a weapon. I like flags because I can actually do SOME stuff on it, plus the fact that flags are like 2-3 lbs, rifles are 3-4, and sabers are like 5.
As for marching, Colorguard FINALLY learned how to march today, and I was totally confused for the first 10 minutes or so as to what we were doing. XD But at least I can (sort of) march now, so that's all good... sort of. But I can't spin a flag and march. Which is really bad, since I have to spin and march. Oh well. Anyways, it's pretty tiring, but I feel worse for the Marching Band, since they have to be in the sun virtually the whole time. What I don't get though, is why some band members fainted on their first day out (or so the rumor says), since they were just standing/stretching outside, whereas Colorguard was running across the football field, stretching, and traveling outside. And we got the same amount of water breaks about.
Anyways, for our program this year, we're doing Zorro, which is really heroic or whatever. And all the girls are wearing hairpieces, fake eyelashes, lipstick, eyeliner, and probably eyeshadow. All of which I hate. And then we have this black fishnet top with a red pattern underneath, paired with black pants with a red pleather design, and black canvas jazz boots. And we're supposed to be all seductive and independent or whatever, which I am DEFINITELY not going to be. I don't even want to try. Ugh. But I have to, or else it's like totally no point in being in Colorguard. By the way, if you go to my school, pretend you either didn't hear this, or you didn't hear it from me, because apparently this is top secret or whatever.
So all in all, band/Colorguard camp is tiring, hot, and hard. And annoying.

Olympics III!!!
Band Camp!

Olympics II!!!
Chinese Taipei is still in second place, with the most gold medals (6). They also had a few falls in the Women's Gymnastics, the most severe of which would be the landing on the uneven beams by Jiang Yuyuan. I swear most of the girls on the team look sooo young! But whatever. Anyways, they came first in the preliminaries and will continue onto the finals! My favorite out of those would probably be Deng Linlin. She's pretty young, but she's really good.
Anyways, some of the turnouts of the Olympics are REALLY unexpected this year, but hecka fun to watch! My favorite routines to watch are still gymnastics though, both men's and women's. I can't wait until they get to the diving though, that's bound to be cool!

Olympics!!!
China currently has the most Olympic gold, with a total of three. They surpassed both South and North Korea in the air pistol (=D), and COMPLETELY dominated all opposition in nearly every aspect of Men's Gymnastics: pommel, still rings, parallel bars, you name it. I swear, I don't get how they do any of that, like holding yourself absolutely still on the rings, or flipping on the parallel bars. It's amazing.
I noticed I never posted about the opening ceremony, but basically, I swear that China should always host the Olympics. They totally pwn the rest of the opening ceremonies, especially with the drummers. Man power! XD The countdown was totally awesome... If you haven't seen it, you HAVE to watch it.
Outside of the Olympics, I went shopping today. Or got dragged more like it. But whatever, it was okay today, which is amazing seeing how much I don't like shopping. I got a few spaghetti straps from Hollister, some jeans/tanks/jackets from Marshall's, and a few flared shirts from TJ Maxx. I'm hoping that I won't have to go shopping again, but I guess I could do with a few more tanks. Eh, whatever.
Band camp starts tomorrow! Ugh... I have to wake up at 9 tomorrow (practice starts at 10), and since I haven't practiced throwing my flag around excepting that one time, plus the fact that I'll be hella sleepy, I'm probably going to give myself a concussion. Oh well. DX I guess I'll survive... hopefully.
I went to a volunteer orientation thing (again) at the Tri-Valley SPCA, because I want to be an "official" kitten socializer. Although technically, I'm still a volunteer, so who cares if I'm official or unofficial? Whatever. Anyways, I need to take another class next Sunday, then I can start volunteering (again).
That's pretty much it... So yeah. GO OLYMPICS!!!

Breaking Dawn!!! (Continued Yet Again)
Lol. The top is a picture of my second favorite fan made cover!!! Now starting from where I left off, Chapter 26: Shiny.
Edit: I knew it. Bella didn't kill Charlie or make him a vampire. Haha. Thank goodness Nessie didn't try to feed off Charlie either. Awesome. So now Charlie can come visit Bella anytime!!! Well, unless she's majorly hungry, but I'm pretty sure the Cullens will take precautions.
Edit: I don't get why Bella doesn't like the nickname Nessie. Sure, there's the problem of where it came from, but all in all, it's a nice name... I love Nessie's full name... Renesme Carlie Cullen. It's sounds really nice. And another comment about Jacob and Nessie: If they are one day married and they have a child, won't the kid be half human, a fourth vampire, and a fourth werewolf? And seeing as werewolves and vampires are "enemies" and vampires feed off humans, won't that be kind of awkward for a child's genetic heritage?
Edit: OMG that's AWESOME! Bella can beat Emmet at arm wrestling! W00t!!! Haha, and then she completely annihilates the rock. XD Sounds like something I'd do. Be like, "Hmm... Maybe I can chop up this rock..." And start giggling all the while doing it.
Edit: Uh... What's Nessie going to be? The next prodigy in like, everything? Be smart, pretty, athletic, and totally awesome in every single aspect ever? Besides a food-eating contest, but whatever. I'm jealous of a three month-old... XD
Edit: *eyes boggle a foot out* Duuuuuuuuude... Gold woven into a chain with a diamon the size of a golf ball?!?!?! What the hell... These vampires are crazy with their money. Might as well donate some to the needy! Sheesh!
Edit: Oh... So Nessie might die when she's fifteen? ...That really sucks... But onto more pressing thoughts. I wonder what will happen when Bella goes to Italy? I mean, she's going alone, obviously, or else he might find out about Nessie and try to "recruit" her, but will Aro try to recruit Bella? I mean, her gift isn't THAT useful to him, but if he somehow cons her into doing things, they could be deadly. I mean, Bella has the superhuman strength of a newborn, and the self control of an aged vampire... Put together, she's deadly... I mean, she wouldn't do it out of her own will, but Aro might think of a way... Like targeting Charlie, or Renee...
Edit: No. Nonononono. Alice isn't a coward. She wouldn't ditch them. Nu-uh. No way. She's probably off doing something really dangerous to try to help them, but she doesn't want them to know because they'd try to stop her. And of course, she has to bring Jasper along for the COVER because she knows that the Cullens know that she wouldn't go anywhere without Jasper, and she knows that Carlisle won't send anyone after them because their choice to "desert" is exactly that. THEIR choice. Yeah. That's it. No way that Alice would just desert them. Even if she wasn't inexplicably tied to every member, no way she would leave one of her best friends (Bella) to just die. Nope. No way.
Edit: I thought of another reason. Maybe Alice DID desert them. But not for the reason they think. Maybe that/those visions Alice had afterwards gave her a clue. Maybe the reason as to why all of the Volturi are coming has to do with Renesmee, but also with Alice somehow! Maybe, in deserting them, she's actually protecting them by a) having less problems for the Cullens to explain (now it's just renesmee and not Alice too), or b) distracting the Volturi, possibly making them split up (half go after Alice, half for Renesmee). Or, maybe it was Jasper and not Alice. Or maybe it was both!
Edit: See??? She left Bella something to go on. I wonder what's so bad about The Merchant of Venice though? How does that tie into the Volturi? Well, besides the fact that they're all related to Italy. Hm... There's obviously something forbidding about that book, but I've never read it, so I don't know what. UGH! I'm really empted to read hat book before continuing Breaking Dawn, to see if I can figure out the mystery myself, but Shakespeare's books usually put me to sleep. The Merchance of Venice... I wonder why...
Edit: I want Benjamin's gift. It's the most awesome out of everything. I swear. Manipulate all four elements? Yessir!!! I want that gift! I mean, Bella's is useful, Edward's is great for annoying people, and all the other gifts are cool too (I mean, Jane and Kate's gifts would be awesome to test if you were being mugged. XD) but manipulating all four elements to do whatever you want... Now that's the greatest thing ever. But then again, I'm not going to have a gift at all, but I'd want Benjamin's if I could get a gift...
Edit: AHAHAHA!!! SUCKS FOR YOU, JANE!!! Lol. Good job, Bella!!! She can protect everyone! Awesome! her gift is actually a really good one, but it's a bummer than it only works against mental attacks... Oh well. I wonder if this is really going to turn into a big fight? I hope benjamin survives though. I like him, he's cool... I wonder what Alice is up to though... Hands down, she's still my favorite character...
Edit: ROFLMAO. "Aro, would you ask Jane to stop attacking my wife?" Heh. I bet Jane didn't like that at all. Hilarious though...
Edit: Huh. No battle. I would've liked some action though... Maybe a few people to die. Oh well. I guess there's no need for Bella to go to Italy then, since Aro already saw her vampire-ness. And Nessie is going to be immortal for all we know too! So it's like happily ever after for everyone's favorite character, whoever that is. Unless that was Irina. So it's basicaly the happy ending to the perfect fairytale. Kind of lame, but sort of nice.
Hm... Seems like I've finished Breaking Dawn... I have to find another book to read now (preferably one that is an actual, tagible book, and not one online since the endless hours at my computer were killing my eyes).
Breaking Dawn Reflection
Breaking Dawn was definately an interesting book. Not all that good as I expected, what with the myriad of twists and weirdness, but good nevertheless. I sort of expected it to be better though; it sounded too much like something posted on a fanfic sight. The ending (happily ever after) was a bit cheesy, and I thought it would have been better if the fight actually broke out between the Volturi and the Cullens' mob of disorganized vampires/werewolves (or shapeshifters). Eclipse is still my favorite out of the Twilight saga though. Breaking Dawn definately incorporated a multitude of surprises to keep the reader on the edge of their seat, but it also contained some confusion and doubt as to whether Stephanie Meyer had her head in the right place while writing this novel. All in all, a good read, but a bit disappointing for the avid fans of the Twilight saga.
Breaking Dawn!!! (Continued Again)
WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!!!
Edit: Wait... So the baby might have 24 chromosomes? Same as Jake? Doesn't that mean the baby would be a werewolf? Uh... okay then... Human mom, vampire dad, werewolf baby... Interesting...
Edit: Hm... I wouldn't mind a romance going on between Jacob and Leah... =D But I doubt either of them is going to imprint, given that they've already been together so long, so if they were going to imprint, they would have done so a while ago...
Edit: Oh... Genetic dead-ends. Never thought of that. But Leah and Rosalie have more in common than that... They both don't want to be what they are either...
Edit: So it's either Edward Jr. or Renesmee. I like Renesmee better. Plus, I think the fetus acts more like a girl, since it's been scientifically proven that females enjoy people more, whereas males are more tempted by things. Moronic, materialistic males... Just kidding... =D
Edit: Ooh... Jake and Leah's talk about imprinting gave me the weirdest thought ever. Saying that Bella's baby is a girl, what if Jacob imprints on her? And if it's a guy, what if Leah imprints on him? Well, Leah probably wouldn't get near the baby, so scratch that. But wouldn't it be weird if Jacob imprinted on Renesmee? Weirder for Bella too... Your best friend in love with your daughter. XD
Edit: OMG, wtf? The fetus understands them? It's like the next genius... whatever it is! That's awesome though, that he isn't hurting Bella anymore. Looks like Bella might actually make it out of this human!
Edit: Oh God, oh God, oh God... It's a girl! Yay! But Bella's dying. Nooooo... No, Bella's going to become a vampire. Please. She can't die. She WON'T die. Ugh. Must see what happens.
Edit: Yes! I knew it! Well, not really, but I guessed it! Jake imprinted on Renesmee! And Bella can't be dead because the next part of the book is from her viewpoint! Yes!!! Well, she's going to be a vampire, but still... Now that I think about it though, It's even weirder than Quil and Claire... Jake loves a baby less than a day old, who is also the daughter of his best friend... o.o So if he marries Renesmee... He'll be Bella's son-in-law...? O.O
Edit: Hm... It seems like Bella has more self control than other newborn vampires... And Renesmee is half human! I'm guessing she looks human, but needs blood. I'd rather look like a vampire and need food. But whatever. XD
Edit: WHOA. This book is hecka weird. So I'm guessing that Bella is gifted with self control, and Renesmee is gifted with the talent of replaying her memories in other people's heads. And Jacob nicknamed Renesmee after the Loch Ness Monster (Nessie). I guess the nickname is kind of nice, and it fits too (Renesmee), but it's a weird namesake...
Edit: LOL. "Why don't you just tell me who wins?" "I do. Excellent." That's hilarious. To another thought, Jacob and Nessie. I figure it'll turn out okay, since Jacob loves Nessie and Nessie likes Jacob. That's so weird for Bella though. And onto another thought, since Nessie can obviously grow and age, does that mean she'll die someday? And she'll get older than her parents... That must be hecka weird, to be seventeen and eighteen while your kid is like, thirty-seven or something.
Edit: Oh my f-ing God!!! Who gives people (even if they're a couple) a house?!?!?! (Or a cottage even. I'm willing to bet, in addition to clothes, that they have furniture and everything in there too. That's actually my dream home though. A nice cozy cottage in the middle of the woods, but not too far from society, with vines and flowers growing around it.
Edit: Oh shit! Shit shit shit shit shit!!! Charlie's coming?! Crap! I would absolutely HATE Jake for this... Ugh. I have no doubt that Bella will control herself, but seriously! Phasing into wolfy Jake in front of Charlie, telling him he's going to be a grandfather, and that Bella's "changed." Damn. Yeah, I'd absolutely loathe Jake...
I'm totally exhausted. I'm going somewhere tomorrow... well, later today, so I have to get SOME sleep. More comments to follow, I promise!

Breaking Dawn (Continued...)

The top is what I thought Breaking Dawn should look like. Just a little bit off. XD Anyways, more comments!!!
Edit: OMFG. Bella's pregnant. What the heck? I mean, that's kind of scary. Wouldn't the kid be half human and half vampire then? Like... won't he/she have self destruction issues for the first few years, since the vampire part would want to feed on the human part? o.o
Edit: Did Paul imprint on Rachel (Jacob's sister)? Wow. That'd be sort of... interesting. Better than imprinting on your own cousin that you haven't seen in a few years though. XD
Edit: Oh WOW. It kind of sucks to be imprinted on a two-year-old... Basically, Claire can jerk Quil around however she likes, piggyback rides, pattycake, and Quil won't even mind... And even if she hits him on the head with four different green rocks, he won't care... Wow...
Edit: So Bella wants the baby, but she also wants the baby because she knows that it'll drive her to the point that if Edward wants to save her, someone will have to make her a vampire? Somehow, I doubt Bella's mind works this complicatedly, but... I guess there's a chance...
Edit: If Jacob does the artificial insemination, that will officially be the weirdest family ever. A human (well, for now at least) mother, a vampire father, and a werewolf baby. If Angela is a witch (Bella's thought, not mine), maybe she can be the godmother!
Edit: Holy craaaaaaaaaap... That is one strong baby... I think it's full vampire now, not a dhampir (see Vampire Academy). But seriously, a baby causing bruises on the outside of Bella's abdomen. O.o...
Edit: Oh damn. Sam wants to kill Bella and the Cullens. Shit...? That's so wrong though... Ugh, Sam's kind of ignorant and pigheaded... He doesn't even know what the stupid thing in Bella's womb is!!! Of courses, there is a big chance that it's a vampire, but still. Ugh.
Edit: OMG AWESOME!!! Jacob split from the pack because of Bella, Seth split cuz Jacob is the rightful Alpha, plus he views going against the Cullens as a betrayal, and Leah split cuz Seth (who is her younger brother) did! W00t! Now the Cullens plus Jacob's pack (8) outnumber Sam's pack (7) even if Esme and Rosalie don't fight!
Edit: .......... Bella just drank human blood... and liked it... Wow... Blood tastes so metallic though... Sort of like what you'd expect rust to taste like... *shudders*
Edit: LOL. Dropping Seth on his head and gnawing on crib bars painted with lead paint. Haha... I guess it is good that the blood helped Bella though, and I get why Seth agrees, but I also get why Leah and Jacob are so revolted. Heh. never thought Leah had a sense of humor though, the way she's been described...
Edit: Out of all the blonde jokes, there's finally one that targets the stereotypical vain blonde and not the stereotypical dumb one. I have to remember that... "How do you drown a blonde? (You glue a mirror to the bottom of a pool.) Lol.
Edit: Dude, the Cullens are hecka nice... clothes, food, showers, everything except the house itself... Kind of amazing once you consider that Jacob turned up only a few hours after he was bent on killing Edward...I so want a cinnamon roll... *drools* I haven't had those is so long...
Ugh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! No more chapters on Limewire. *sobs* Must... find... other... site... if I do, I'm going to start a new post (this one is way too long), and if I don't, well... it's going to be a new day whenever someone uploads chapters 15+ onto Limewire, so it's a new post anyways!
Breaking Dawn!!!
Edit: WTF?!?! ISLE ESME??? I knw the Cullens were rich, what with their Porsches and Mercedes and Alice going crazy over decorating for parties, plus that diamond (or crystal) heart Edward gave Bella... but seriously, an island? Don't they cost like billions of dollars or something? Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude...
Edit: I want to go snorkeling!!! I've never snorkeled before, unless you count that time in Hawaii when my sister dragged me along and all we saw were a few fish and an eel that frightened the crap out of us cuz we thought it was going to attack us. Well, my sister did, I was more concerned with the fact that it might be a electric eel, since I can't identify eels. XD There's actually a lot of stuff I want to do, like 1) go snorkeling, 2) go on a cruise, and 3) go SKYDIVING! Plus a ton more.
Edit: Would Bella just make up her friggin mind!!! Does she want to be a vampire or not?!?! It's like saying now, "PLEASE let me be a vampire, I want to be a vampire!" then two minutes later, "Nevermind, I want to be human a little while longer," and then, "MAKE ME A VAMPIRE!" Ugh. I think Bella would be better suited to be a Libra and not a Virgo, since Libra's are supposed to be undecided on virtually everything.
Edit: What the f---... Yeah, they just "sort of already have a house there." WHO BUYS A HOUSE JUST IN CASE?!?! Okay, I'm good. The Cullens probably have like 9,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 trillion dollars or something. Wow.

I Hate Stephanie Meyer...
