 Seriously, why am I so happy?

 Day? Piano, then Shakespeare which was stressful because we had extremely long monologues that we had to have memorized, and I did, but I forgot it when it was my turn to speak. It happened to everyone...

 FUN WITH FACTS!!!??? HEHEhehehehehehehe...? ? ?... ???

 Word of the Day: Napiform. You'd be surprised...

 Song of the Day: Happy - Pharrel Williams. Who's on The Voice as a coach, whoo-hoo!

It takes the form of a multicoloured arc.Rainbows caused by sunlight always appearing the section of sky directly opposite the sun. [Rainbows and unicorns, YAY! Remember, one of my dreams!

 I actually had a dream like that once...

 Random Fact About Me: I usually only make people laugh without trying, jokes never work.

 Today's Prophecy: I will never get around to painting my nails...

 LOVE you all so much, sorry I'm posting shorter, later posts, but my schedule is crowded, and I always need time to make space for dancing like no one's watching!

 No one is, I know that, my window shade is always closed, no one's ever in my room when I do, and the music is too loud for anyone to hear what I'm doing!

 Heeeheeeheee...

 Again, love you, thanks for sticking with me, though I sit down more than party these days, so, double the love! Now, go to bed, get some sleep, dream/party/sit down, and... yeah!!!! <3! BYE!

Sunday: Hands To Myself

                                          

                                               CAN'T KEEP MY HANDS TO MYSELF...

                                              I WANT IT AAALL, NO, NOTHING ELSE!

                                                CAN'T KEEP MY HANDS TO MYSELF...

                                           GIVE ME YOUR AAALL, AND NOTHING ELSE!

                                                          OH, I, I WANT IT ALL!

                                                              I WANT IT ALL!

                                                              I WANT IT ALL!

                                                CAN'T KEEP MY HANDS TO MYSELF!!!

                                        I MEAN I COULD, BUT WHY WOULD I WANT TO?

 Recognize that song? Maybe? No? 

 I feel so bad for you!

 It's called (if you couldn't tell) Hands To Myself, by Selena Gomez, and, oh my goodness!!!

 WOW. LOVE. LOVE. LOOOOVE.!!!

 Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know that I will actually probably be posting late most of the time, because once the day is done (or the glorious weekend...), there's so much more to tell!!!

 Today? My grandparents came over, I quit a virtually un-understandable game of Catan, they left, we took Stella to the dog park, stayed there until we were all super tired, came home, watched The Voice, and here I am.

 YAAY!

 Boring-ish day, not much to talk about, so I'll just get to the FUN WITH FACTS!!! 

 Is that getting old?

 Too bad. (FUN WITH FACTS!!!)

 Word of the Day: Corrigendum. I try to avoid this in ze posts!

 Song of the Day: Hands To Myself - Selena Gomez. I could never hate this. I mean I could but why would I want to? See what I did there? Mwah-ha-ha...

 Random Fact: The Lego Group began in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen (born 7 April 1891), a carpenter from Billund, Denmark, who began making wooden toys in 1932. In 1934, his company came to be called "Lego", from the Danish phrase leg godt, which means "play well". [They do...]

 Random Fact About Me: I saw two guys at the dog park, one of which looked like (from a distance) Dylan O'Brien, the other of which looked like the main character in Teen Wolf. The show I have not seen. The name I do not know...

 Today's Prophecy: I will not have time to repaint my nails tomorrow night. I didn't tonight either.

 Love you, sorry the posts have been short lately, just not that much has been going on lately, hopefully more interesting stuff soon. BYEEE! KISSES!

Saturday: Payphone

Once again, late, and, no, I do not have any life problems currently, and, no, I do not NOT care about you guys, and, no, I do not fangirl over Dylan O'Brien, what are you talking about?!?

 LOL, last one was random, but that's just what we do, right?!?

 This is probably going to be the shortest post I've ever done, but, even though it's the WEEKEND (can't emphasize that enough... WEEKEND!!!), not that much actually happened today. 

 I got up early (it wasn't a bad morning, yayzies!), went to the farmer's market with meh dad, walked, came back, wasted my life watching pointless Youtube videos, went to the dog park with my family, stayed there for two hours, actually didn't get a tan, though it was sunny, came back, took a shower, and watched Agent Carter and The Voice.

 And now I'm here.

 One thing I think is funny is that I annoyed my whole family (points) with the Maroon 5 song, Payphone (double points), and actually killed it! POINTS...

                               I'M AT A PAAAYPHONE, TRYIN' TO CAAALL HOME
                                 ALL OF MY CHAANGE, I SPENT OOON YOOU!
                                   WHERE HAVE THE TIIMES GONE, BABY?
                  IT'S ALL WRONG, WHERE ARE THE PLANS WE MAAADE FOR TWO?

 There's more, but... a lot more, so we won't get into that...

 FUN WITH FACTS!!!

 Word of the Day: Agelast. How cheerful.

 Song of the Day: Payphone - Maroon 5. <3<3<3<3<3<3...

 Random Fact: The Turkish Halfeti Rose is the only know black rose in the world, specifically from Halfeti, Turkey. That was easy.

 Random Fact About Me: I stay up too late sometimes. Betcha didn't know that...

 Today's Prophecy: Tomorrow will be a good day... hey, my wall art says it, why not?!?

 I love you all sooo much, sorry this post was so short, and I know that it seems like I've been neglecting my blog, but the reason today was I didn't have internet for half the day, and when I got it back, I had to leave for the dog park.

 There's your excuse!

 Love you, have a great... tomorrow!

Friday: Fancy

MY, MY, MY, I'M LATE, LATE, LATE!

 Aren't I? 

 I have been so bad at posting on time, these past days... more like this past week. I always save it until I'm so tired that I just want to go to bed, but, what do I do? I sit down. I write the post. I edit it. I name it. I keep myself awake. I publish it. And then, you read it.

 I work TOO HARD for you...

 JK, I'm happy to do it for you, but I really am soo tired. I wouldn't say I had an exhausting day, but it sure felt like it...

 Oh, LOL, I just thought of something from earlier. 

 My friend (the one with the amazing voice) and I talk a lot before class, and we both reference to songs constantly in random conversation. 

 We also do that thing where you burst into song if you hear someone say a phrase or word that is in some way linked to a song we know. 

 Earlier, she said 'fancy', and I was just like,

                                                  I'M - SO - FANCY!!!
                                             YOU ALREADY KNO - OW!!!
                                             I'M IN -THE - FAST - LANE!!!
                                                FROM L.A. TO TOKYO!!!

                                                   I'M - SO - FANCY!!!
                                        CAN'T YOU TASTE THIS GO - OLD!!!
                                            RE - MEM - BER - MY - NAME!!!
                                            'BOUT TO BLOOOOOOO - OO!!!

 Was that too long?  *audience nods, 'yes, Alice, way too long...'*

 HEHEHEHEEEE!!!!

 I can't wait for tomorrow! WHY?

 BECAUSE, DUH!!! IT'S SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...!!!!!...!!!!...!!!...!!...!

 Eeeeeeee.........?

 Yeah, so, anyway, it IS Saturday tomorrow, and I'm sooo excited! WHY? 

 Because, duh, it's Saturday! Like I told you. I believe I used CAPS and !!exclamat!on po!nts!! and EEEEEEEEEEE!!!...!!...!'s.

 Right? 

 Oh, duh, memory loss, I'm getting old!

 I don't yet have wrinkles, but, ONE DAY!!!

 For, fun, we're doing FUN WITH FACTS!!! Why? Because, I dunno, I want to? 

 Word of the Day: Caseifaction. If the world did this, I wouldn't be so happy. I don't like cheese. Except on pizza...

 Song of the Day: Fancy - Iggy Azalea. Whom I hate. Sorry if I'm brutally honest sometimes, but that's just how it is. 
 BTW, people, if you haven't heard this song, please don't look it up. Though it's not rated as explicit, by my standards it is, and I only like the main part. It DOES NOT have a good message, and there are a few swears.
 I only put it in this post because it happened earlier...

 Random Fact: The meaning of caseifaction is, 'the act of turning into cheese'. 
 And now you know.

 Random Fact About Me: Four of my six shelves on my bookshelf are taken. With what? Books. DUUUUHHHH....

 Today's Prophecy: I will decide to repaint my nails pink, but will change my mind and go with blue instead.

 This happens more than you think.

 Okay, so, that was today's post, and, though I know it was a tad rushed and I'm super tired, I tried my best. Did you like it? *angel face...* Did you hate it? *grumpy face...*

 I love you all so much, it means a lot to me when you comment and tell me that you enjoy it!!! <3

 And now, I need some beauty sleep. Hey, a face this beautiful doesn't stay that way on its own! It has a best friend called sleep. Sleep is always there for pretty face!

Thursday: Are You Happy Now?

I'M SOO EXCITED!!! IT'S NOT LATE!!!

 Yay.

 Oh, there's an airplane outside. I can hear it... and it's gone. Darn?

 I don't really have much to blog about today... I might finish this later, after ballet, so I have something to tell! Which I don't...

 How about a self-made Q&A?!?

 That wouldn't be any fun, I'd know all the answers before I even wrote the questions...

 Hmm. Be back in six hours!!! Love you!



 Okay, less like six hours, more like eight!

 It's exactly 9:01 at this very minute, so... yeah.

 Class was fun, but since I took the extra class it was extremely exhausting. I feel really bad about saying this, and I'm not usually this type of person, but at the beginning, I wasn't trying as hard as I usually do. I guess I was just tired and exherted.

 On the bright side, I learned what aspiration means!

 That will be my Word of the Day, later.

 So, my MP3 hasn't been charged for, like, three months, and, finally, I charged it. I listened to it in the car, and it was like I'd rediscovered this wonderful song, Are You Happy Now! The best cover, and pretty much the only version I listen to, is by Cassadee Pope, who actually won season 3 of The Voice.

 It goes liiikkke...

                                            COULD YOU LOOK ME IN THE EEYYEE,
                                          AND TELL ME THAT YOU'RE HAPPY NOW?
                                                   OOOOOOH, OOOOOOH!!!
                                              WOULD YOU TELL IT TO MY FACE,
                                                 OR HAVE I BEEN ERASED?
                                                   ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
                                                   ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?

 Best. Song. Ever. 

 I say that a lot, don't I? Or do I? I don't think I do... wait yes. Yes I do. Wait, no. Noooo I don't... or do I?

 Self-doubt. Never a good sign.

 Just because today was boring, I'm tired, and my mom is probably gonna be mad that I'm on the computer this late, I'll just do a FUN WITH FACTS!!! and I'll be done, okay? Okay.

 FUN WITH FACTS!!!

 Word of the Day: Aspiration. That thing that happens when you're drowning/when you inhale water when you drink it too fast or accidentally breathe as you swallow.

 Song of the Day: Are You Happy Now - Michelle Branch. Love...

 Random Fact: Being biodegradable and nontoxic, packing peanuts are safe for humans and pets if ingested accidentally. However, they are not produced in food-safe conditions, and are not recommended for eating. Also, during the manufacturing process, the nutritional value is removed from starch-based packing peanuts. [I don't even like normal peanuts...]

 Random Fact About Me: I keep getting weird things stuck under this one fingernail...

 Today's Prophecy: I will have contemporary tomorrow. I know this for a fact.

 I love you all so much, please comment, thanks for reading, all that juicy goodness, and now, without further ado, my WAY overdue bedtime! Bye!

Wednesday: Can't Blame A Girl For Trying

God, I know it's super late, and I said to expect stuff late on Tuesdays and Thursdays, not Wednesdays, but: what do ya know! It's late.

 Dang it.

 I can't quite find an excuse for this: all day, I thought I would, and I even woke up early to! But I kept on being like, nooo, it's fine, you'll have plenty of time in the evening, and when it was time to leave for ballet (in the evening...) I was like, you'll have time tonight. 

 So I got home late, ate a huge bowl of soup (that takes a whiiile...), took a shower, watched an hour of the tenth season of my favorite show ever, the Voice (will explain in a minute), finished it, came back to my room, ready to go to bed, realized I hadn't posted today, and...

 Now that I think about it, there are so many alternate endings to this story. *laughs evilly and rubs hands together like the creepy, overexcited villains who seem to constantly have the need for friction heat*

  - realized I hadn't posted today and...

 ...fainted on the spot.

 ...jumped in the air and banged my head on the ceiling.

 ...decided to record an album of apology.

 ...discovered I could fly.

 ...bought a new bath robe.

 ...looked up the first Katy Perry song I could think of.

 ...decided to stop procrastinating and GET IT DONE ALREADY!!!

 Which one do you think is the truth? You probably know, the first six were extremely unrealistic for a 9:00 pastime...

 Yep, it was... ...decided to stop procrastinating and GET IT DONE ALREADY!!!

 So I was riding the elevator down with my friend, who's a few years older than me, and I've been bugging her to show me her voice for a looong time, so today she did, and...

 ...it was horrible.

 ...it made me wonder why the bathroom at Mellow Mushroom smells scented.

 ...it made me question my life choices.

 ...completely ignored her.

 ...fell in love with it and told her that she needed to record an album, and does she play guitar, and she should make Youtube videos, and I wondered what a duet would sound like...

 That last one is the exact, complete, unedited truth. It was sooooooooooo freaking good!!!

 It makes you question why you bother singing, when someone else is so far above you...

 LOL, just kidding, but it was really, really good, and I do believe she should start a Youtube channel. At the very least.

 Oh, yeah, the Voice. I said I would tell you about it.

 It's a reality show based on singing (as you could probably tell), in which four celebrity vocalists compete for the best aspiring singers, which they eventually pit against each other to see who makes it to the finish. 

 It's super fun to watch, but it does have some rude humor and swear words every once in a while. But other than that, it's awesome, and you should totally go check it out!

 Oh, you know which song my friend and I sang? Can't Blame A Girl For Trying!!! Don't know the song? Let me... illustrate.

                                          CAUSE I'M YOOOUUUNG, AND I'M DUUUUUMB!!!
                               I DO STUPID THINGS, WHEN IT COMES TO LOOOVE!!!
                                       AND EVEN IF I ALWAYS END UP CRYING,
                                  WELL YOU CAN'T BLAME A GIRL FOR TRYING!!!

 One of my favorite songs, you have NO idea how much I sing that...

 FUN WITH FACTS!!! FOR FUN!!!

 Word of the Day: Esurient. I'm not to esurient right now, but I will when I wake up...

 Song of the Day: Can't Blame A Girl For Trying - Sabrina Carpenter. LOVE.

 Random Fact: Candy store owner David Bradley's shop was flooded during a major storm in 1883. As a result of the flood, his entire stock of taffy was soaked with salty Atlantic Ocean water. When a young girl came into his shop and asked if he had any taffy for sale, he is said to have offered some "salt water taffy." [I'm fascinated and I don't even like taffy!]

 Random Fact About Me: My worst, and least favorite subject? Science. What adjective would describe words I throw into everday conversations? Sciency. Here's something I've said (and yes, I do actually know what these words mean!): Sectorial heterochromia. Look it up.

 Today's Prophecy: I will eat half the amount of muffins I ate today. I better, I ate way to many...

 That was today's post, if it seemed rushed, I am so so sorry, that was not intended, but I am trying to do one post a day, as you can probably tell, so forgetting to scared me, and I had to get it done or I'd go to bed feeling guilty!

 I love you all soooo much, please please please comment, it feels so good to hear your opinions!

 Love you, bye!!!

Tuesday: Wish Now

Hey, so, I know it's a bit late, but it's still Tuesday, so technically I'm not late, late.

 Hehehehe. Heeeeehhhh...

 But, seriously, I am sorry that it's later than usual, it's just that all day I've had stuff to do, because on Tuesdays and Thursdays I take an extra ballet class to warm up for my actual class. 

 So I basically have to get school done super fast so I can leave, like, two and a half (?) hours earlier. 

 I'm gonna go with this: most likely expect my post of the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays to be either early or late. 

 Just gonna go with that...

 God, I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired. I could literally do 'o's the whole rest of this post, and I would feel like I'd actually accomplished something. 

 Do you want to hear about my (as usual) horrible morning?

 Duh, you hang on to every blessed word I say, and you know it!!!

 So, I woke up at 5:45, hit Snooze, forgot to hit the complete off button, woke up ten minutes later, hit Snooze, reset it for 6:45, woke up fifty minutes later at 6:45, reset it for 7:00, woke up at 7:00, and barely managed to drag myself out of bed. 

 I am a miserable human being.

 Other than my morning, my day was okay. We have this thing at my dance school, Parent's Observation Week, which is the one time of the year that the parents can come in and watch. Because of the storm last Tuesday, ballet was canceled, so the parents got this Tuesday to watch, to make up for the missed day.

 It's very stressful when you parents are watching, because, first of all, they aren't the only people in the audience. 

 There are all these other people watching, and you know that they're gonna be more focused on their kid, probably not even noticing you, but, as dancers, we're trained to think about how our position looks to everyone at different angles. 

 So we kind of have a tendency to wonder who's looking at us and how we look to them.

 Second of all, you know, you just want to impress you parents. You want to show them how well you're doing, and you want to make them proud.

 Last of all, you just feel nervous, because it's virtually the same thing as a performance, it's just for people you're close to, and you don't get to be on a stage, wear a costume, or have cool lighting.

 Overall, it's absolutely exhausting, because everyone's trying so much harder than usual. Like how you (obviously) try your best on show day.

 I am pooped. If you think that term is weird, you're probably right. Who talks about feces when they were just working their tail off?

 I mean, I miiiggghht.

 This song is the theme song from a modern show for younger kids (Star Darlings), but I like it, so don't judge.

                                             STAR LIGHT, STAR BRIGHT,
                                             FIRST STAR I SEE TONIGHT,
                                            I WISH I MAY, I WISH I MIGHT,
                                       HAVE THIS WISH I WISH TONIGHT!!!

                                              CLOSE OUR EEEYYYEEES!!! 
                                         BELIEVE WITH ALL OUR MIGHT!!!
                                              SPARK A DREEEEEAAAAM!!! 
                                      LIGHT IT UP, 'TIL IT BURNS BRIGHT!!!

                                              NOTHIN' IN THE UNIVERSE 
                                               CAN KNOCK US DOWN!!! 
                                                 WE CAN HAVE IT ALL,
                                            WE GOT EACH OTHER NOW!!!
                                           
                                                     OH, OH, OH, OH,
                                               ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!
                                                     OH, OH, OH, OH,
                                            EVERY WISH IS MAGICAAAAAL!!!

 I know it was long, I'm sorry. Haven't heard it? Look it up. You'll probably find it if you  type in 'Star Darlings theme song Wish Now'. I'm telling you because you have to hear it to understand how freaking good the vocals are!

 FUN WITH FACTS!!!

 Word of the Day: Defenestrate. Not advisable if you want the object to remain whole and undamaged...

 Song of the Day: Wish Now - Star Darlings. Don't know the name of the singer.

 Random Fact: Baltimore Ravens (1996-Present) Nickname: Selected from a poll conducted by the Baltimore Sun. Fans selected the name in honor of Edgar Allan Poe, American poet who penned his famous poem, “The Raven” while living in Baltimore. [I think it's a football team?]

 Random Fact About Me: I had a bad morning, did you know?

 Today's Prophecy: I'll have a bad morning. I can feel it...

 I hope you are satisfied with this post, though rather late, and I hope tomorrow and/or the rest of today is a wonderful... experience? Space of time? 

 I don't know what I'm talking about...

 I love you all so, so, so, soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 I told you, I'm sooo tired!!!

 Anyways, love you all a lot, comment, have a good space of time, and, mostly, sit down!
