Hey people. I’m sitting here, at my new high school, in my mom’s classroom, with two of my best friends. (Love ya, Sam and Caitlyn.)

Anyway, I don’t really know what to say . . . I’m great and I don’t know how to put it into words. So I’ll just tell y’all the first few thoughts that come into my head.

I like this song. [Caitlyn is playing some Boys Like Girls song.]

I named my phone – Joe Phonas.

“The Project” will be fun. I’m doing the Egyptian afterlife. Caitlyn is doing Greek Gods and Goddesses.

I need to start reading To Kill a Mockingbird, or else I’ll have to copy off of Sam in English class...

I need to mow the lawn so I can get money for the Sassyback Tour.

I remember the time I won MuggleNet’s Caption Contest. [The direct URL is http://www.mugglenet.com/cc/archive.php?year=2007&month=9&day=23. I’m the very last one.]

Bop the Muggle! 

I wish I had my iPod... 

Anyway, that’s all for now. I hope y’all are happy and having a good day. J

Love,
Amy

PS: Anna, if you’re reading this, Matt told me to tell you to update your blog.

Hola, muchachos! (That’s Spanish for Hello, muchachos!)

My first week of school was pretty good. It’s awesome – all my teachers are nice, I haven’t had a whole lot of homework, and we’re already planning Homecoming in Leadership. How cool is that?!

Also, I know you’re all dying to know what I think of the new TAI CD. It’s amazing. I love it – except for #4, “The Test.” Well, actually, the chorus in that one is okay, but the verses suck. My favorite would probably be “Rumored Nights,” and I’m actually a little confused by it. It strikes all this negative emotion in me, and I sometimes cry while listening to it, but I love it. 

Total Drama Island isn’t going too well, though. Since I last posted, Courtney and Harold were voted off. I was freaking depressed. They were two of my favorites!!! I’m like, vote off HEATHER!!! PLEASE!!!!!  Seriously!!!! [Okay. TDI rant over. I think it’s becoming painfully obvious how much of a fangirl I am…]

Oh! And guess what else. I got a new phone!! It’s a Sony Ericsson W580i, and it’s black with an orange keypad. [see above] And it has a built-in MP3 player. (If only I could figure out how to work that…) I have to think of a name for it. I was considering naming it Gwen Stephoni, but it’s a guy phone, and I don’t like Gwen Stefani that much. But if you are, feel free to take that name. Just be sure to give me credit, okay? J

Anyway, I don’t think anything else interesting is happening. Oh, wait, wear a football shirt to Chic-Fil-A today and get some free thing. I think it’s chicken strips…

Happy Labor Day! Send us a message, 'cause we know you're not in school today.

Love,
Amy

Hello. It’s another “mixed emotions” day for me.

On Sunday, my pet lizard died. I cried pretty badly, and I’m still not quite over it. So let’s all take a moment of silence to remember The Dark Lizard Lord of Sandistan, Major Kyo Emmett Spiridon Wiggletail Cortez DeFerociouso, Miniature-Dragon, Esquire.

Along with that sadness goes with the anxiety I have about starting high school on Monday. Y’all know I’m taking a Leadership class, and we had a meeting yesterday about what we’re doing this year. It was fine and dandy, except for we have to give at least 3 speeches. To quote Pete Wentz, “If you know me, you know how uncool I am. I stutter, wear bad clothes, make bad jokes, make conversation uncomfortable-- the list goes on.” Seriously. I’ve got a little bit of a lisp, too, so throw that in with the fact that I’ve had a recent bout of stuttering, and you’ve got me giving a speech. Did I mention that one of them is “impromptu” – as in I don’t know what I’ll be talking about until I get in front of the class?

On the other hand, though, I’m super excited because I’m getting the new TAI CD today!! Go buy Fast Times At Barrington High. I’m sure it will rock. But if you want to find out for yourself, I heard they put the whole thing on their MySpace page. But I haven’t heard all the songs, because that would make me feel dirty to listen to it ahead of time.

So, I guess you can decide my mood today by how you comment. Please. Seriously, I haven’t had any comments for any posts. I know you guys still exist. I look at the hit counter thing like, every day. Okay? (Sorry. Rant is over.)

Love,
Amy

NOTE: This post contains spoilers from Breaking Dawn and last week's episode of Total Drama Island.

Hello!! Two days ago, I finished a book called Breaking Dawn. I would like to brag about how amazingly right I was about my theories (see earlier post):

1. Wow. I was totally right about the first one – about Bella getting pregnant and dying when she gives birth, then Edward biting her. (OH!! WHAT NOW!! To all of y’all who said that couldn’t happen . . . who’s laughing now?!)
2. Well, it wasn’t a boy, but his middle name WOULD have been Jacob. But who could have foreseen such a horrible name as Renesmee Carlie Cullen?
3. Well, it didn’t say, but I assume that Emmett won the bet.
4. Well, okay. I was wrong about Renee and Phil having a baby.
5. Jacob DID imprint on Renesmee.
6. Okay, well, it was a logical thought, thinking that Edward and Bella would honeymoon in Italy. Who knew about Isle Esme?
7. I wonder what happened to Bree . . .
8. *sigh* Another wrong. But I NEED to know what happens in like, a hundred years or I'll go insane.
9. Jacob has always fought Bella becoming a vampire, so this one was right.
10. Yep – Bella’s a shield.

Wow. Now I have nothing to obsess over.

Except Total Drama Island. (WHY did Cody have to get attacked by a bear?!?! *cries*)

And Michael Guy Chislett . . . LOL. I love that guy. I’m pretty excited about their new CD. I’m going to get it the day it comes out!! (August 19, for those of you who don’t know when Fast Times at Barrington High is coming out.)

Love,
Amy

Hi!!! I’m hyperactive today. Do you need to know why?

BECAUSE BREAKING DAWN IS COMING IN LIKE, TWO DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay… just so we’re clear, I want to show y’all my theories before the book comes out so I can have full bragging rights. Here they are:

1. How Bella will become a vampire: Edward and Bella will get married. A little later, Edward will get Bella pregnant. Wanting to keep the baby, Bella will delay her transformation. Nine months later, she will be going through labor. Edward will be there, and Carlisle will be delivering the baby. Bella will be having a really tough time with labor, and will be slowly dying. As soon as the baby is out, Edward will bite Bella.
2. If said baby is a boy, his first (or middle) name will be Jacob. If said baby is a girl, her name will be DAWN. J
3. Emmett will win the bet (about how many people Bella will kill in her first year). (Jasper bet high, Emmett bet low.)
4. Renee and Phil will have a baby.
5. If said baby is a girl, Jacob will imprint on her. Or he’ll imprint on Tanya. Or he’ll imprint on Edward and Bella’s daughter, if it turns out to be a girl.
6. Edward and Bella will have their honeymoon in Italy.
7. Bree (the newborn created by Victoria in the clearing who surrendered to Carlisle) will make another appearance, and possibly join the coven.
8. The book will end with Bella waking up as a vampire, and there will be an epilogue for x years later.
9. (Okay, this is kind of crazy, and I can’t take full credit. I read it online here and LOVED it…) “Dawn” is fighting the darkness, or evil. If vampires are evil, then Edward is evil; therefore Edward is the darkness. Jacob Black fights Edward. Therefore, Jacob would be fighting Bella becoming a vampire. HOWEVER, the book is called “Breaking Dawn,” so it will be about Edward and Bella fighting Jacob in the regard of Bella becoming a vampire! (Cool, huh?)
10. Bella's special ability will be either resistance to human blood or blocking out mind readers. (Or both.)

Speaking of theories, I feel I should give a shout-out to whoever made this theory. It’s the most insane one I’ve read yet. (NOTE: I’ve Googled it like, a bajillion times, but what I read refuses to show up. So I’m just summarizing it, this is not a quote.)

Alice and Jasper are conspiring against Edward and Bella, and are planning to kill them. Everyone trusts Alice with their secrets and whatnot, so she’s the perfect candidate.

. . . now, if you’re like me, you’re having a laughter attack. Put your hands over your head when your sides start hurting. Now go get some water so you can breathe.

Oh, and speaking of shout-outs, I’d like to give one to Matt. It’s his birthday on August 2. Happy birthday!!! *hugs* Unfortunately, he’s out-of-state, so he can’t come to the release party with us. (Don’t worry. We’ll take pictures for ya. J)

Anyway, I’ll talk to you guys when I finish Breaking Dawn!!

Love,
Amy
(who still claims full ownership of Jasper Hale)

PS - Post your theories in the comments. I'd love to read them!

Okay. Sorry for the rant the other day. I feel better now.

1. I love, love, LOVE the Apple staff. They helped me fix my iTunes. (Love you SO MUCH, Corey!!!!)
2. Orthodontist wasn’t bad. Except for I picked an ugly color, and I’m stuck with it until mid-September . . .
3. Shots weren’t too bad today. I had four, and they didn’t hurt. Of course, I had my iPod in, so he probably helped.
4. Well, I’m working on my Jasper story . . .

Wow. I just realized something. When I was talking about my iPod in #3, I said “him.” I mean my iPod. I don’t know if I’ve said this before, but I name every inanimate object that’s important to me. Like, my iPod’s name is Gabriel Travis Beckett, named after Gabe Saporta (Cobra Starship), Travis Clark (We the Kings), and William Beckett (The Academy Is…). My first iPod’s name was Gerard Peter LeMini, named after Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance), Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy), and his make (iPod mini). My phone’s name is Justin Timberphone, because he’s bringing textyback. (If I have to explain that, you won’t get it, because you obviously live under a rock.)

So of course my pets have interesting names. My dog’s name is CrackerDawg Amelia VonBone. And as all of you who have read my interview page know, my leopard gecko’s name is The Dark Lizard Lord of Sandistan, Major Kyo Emmett Spiridon Wiggletail Cortez DeFerociouso, Miniature-Dragon, Esquire. But don’t worry, my imaginary friends are covered, too – I have Jeffree Barthollomew Watchamafliqi and Duncan Pedro Watchamafliqi.

So until later, my dear, I'm listening to The Academy Is... and thinking about how wonderfully amazing my original story will be. (Did I mention that I'm writing it as a William Beckett FanFic, then just changing the names?!?! LOL.)

Love,
Amy

PS- Speaking of TAI... I found out something cool. Like, about how to get 2 of their songs FREE on your iPod. If you search for TAI TV on the iTunes store, you'll see all their episodes. Look for the "exclusive music videos" and download them. (They're free.) Then, put them on your iPod if you have a video iPod. If not, burn a CD with them, and upload the CD to the library. So now, I have "Same Blood" and "Sleeping With Giants (Lifetime)" and didn't pay a penny. I love me for figuring that out. *hugs self*

Gosh. I just feel like complaining today. Let’s take a look at what’s wrong.

1. My iTunes is being stupid. And retarded. And gay. (YES!) (No. That’s a joke. I’m not happy with my computer.) When I got home yesterday, I wanted to download a song to my iPod. So I got on iTunes. But when I got there, the library only had like, 200-ish songs on it. I’m all like, “What the crap? There should be like, two thousand.” (I share a computer with my family.) I searched, and the computer freaking deleted ALL my purchased songs and most of my ripped songs. So I basically want to murder my computer right now while I wait on a reply from the Apple support place. (Until then, who’s got a Cobra Starship CD I can borrow?)
2. Wednesday – orthodontist appointment. Urgh. I don’t even know what colors I should get!
3. Friday – doctor appointment. Not only that, but I’m getting SHOTS. URGH. My sister is going, too, and wants me to get mine first. Her exact quote was, “Amy, you get your shots first so I can watch you cry and laugh when I get mine.” I hate being the older sibling . . .
4. I lost my Jasper story, so I have to start the fourth chapter all over again. It was pretty long, too. (At least I’ll have something to do in the waiting rooms.)

So until later, I’m listening to All Time Low, wishing that I had something to do that’s not Sudoku. *sigh*

Love,
Amy

Also, shout out to Matt – I can’t find my yearbook and I don’t have your number in my phone. You call me.

By the way, go check out WeTheKings on YouTube. They seem like they’re fun to hang out with. Here's one of their videos:

Hey guys. I just got done with the two highlights of my summer – camp and Warped Tour. And let me tell you, they were both flipping amazing.

Camp was insanely beast. The LLs had a cabin with just us in it… muahaha. (Haha. JK. I’m past my evil phase.) Our counselors were really nice, we got a ton of inside jokes, and our field trip was the best. (Sorry, I don’t know what the others have already said about camp and I don’t want to repeat things! If you’re curious, though, you can always send us a message.)

Warped Tour was amazingly wonderful. The bands were loud, the sun was blistering hot, and I didn’t pass out. I didn’t see many bands; I saw Madina Lake, Relient K, Cobra Starship, The Academy Is…, Bedouin Soundclash, and We the Kings. Didn’t meet any rock stars, though. No one who was playing, anyway. I did meet some guys before the gates opened, though – they got me to listen to their band’s music. The only one that was worth listening to was Pendleton. (They’re from the UK!) Me & the drummer (Jason, I think?) are like, BFFs now. LOL.

Also, talking about Warped Tour, I think I’ll make you guys a checklist about what you should bring/do.


Make sure to:
ÿ       Buy your tickets ahead of time. Well, I don’t know about you, but I don’t like taking chances with important things like this.
ÿ       Use the bathroom before you leave. I was lucky; I went to a nice venue. We had both restrooms and port-a-potties. If you’re just going to a crappy place, I suggest using the restroom before you get in the car.
ÿ       Apply sunscreen before you leave. You won’t regret it. I promise.
ÿ       Wear light clothes. . . . in every way possible. Light colored clothes won’t absorb as much heat. Don’t wear a billion layers, either. You’ll sweat a lot.
ÿ       Wear close toed shoes. They’re a necessity. It’s really crowded, and flip-flops will most definitely get lost in the crowd.
ÿ       Pack your bag. See below.


Make sure to bring:
ÿ       TICKETS. Obviously, they won’t let you in without them.
ÿ       Stage grid. These are really cool. They let you write down what band is playing at what stage at what time. You can print them out at www.warpedtour.com or buy them at the venue for $2.
ÿ       A small backpack/messenger bag. You’ll need something to carry all your stuff in! Plus, you’ll get plenty of free stuff. I got some squishy yo-yo things, free music download cards, pens, a CD sampler thing, a ton of papers telling me to check out bands, stickers, posters, Monster, and probably some more stuff that I can’t think of off the top of my head.
ÿ       Extra money. You’ll end up buying something, whether it be a shaved ice (which will be AMAZING in the heat of the day) or a $5 CD. (Yep. They’re super cheap at Warped.)
ÿ       BIG water bottle(s). Seriously, you’ll need one. I went to Walgreens and got a gigantic 1L water bottle for like, $1.59. (Just FYI – you might want to take an extra cap. I hear some venues will let you bring in a water bottle, but they’ll take the cap away.) But yeah. If your venue is nice enough, they’ll have real restrooms, so you can refill it in the sinks.
ÿ       Snacks. You don’t need these as much as the water . . . the heat will destroy your appetite. Still, bring some pretzels or cookies or whatever and force yourself to eat a little bit.
ÿ       Camera. So you can take a picture of Travis Clark. Duh!
ÿ       Cell phone. So you can get in touch with your peeps and/or take pictures and/or videos.
ÿ       T-shirt. So if you run into your favorite band, they can sign it.
ÿ       Sharpies. . . . so that band has something to sign it with.
ÿ       Extra hair ties. Trust me; you’ll want to pull up your hair, especially if it’s super-long like mine.
ÿ       Sunglasses. So you won’t need cataract surgery later in life.
ÿ       Hat. So your scalp won’t burn like mine did. L
ÿ       Sunscreen. Unless you’re staying for 20 minutes, you’ll get burned if you don’t wear sunscreen. I was there from 10:30-4:30, and now have a massive burn on my forehead, cheeks, nose, and arms. (Yep, I only reapplied it once, at like, 1:00.)

Cool. I’ll talk to you guys again when I have something interesting to talk about . . .

Love,
Amy
