more song lyrics

We are a thousand voices strong
We are each girl who sings this song
We are a beauty that's our own
and we are, and we are
So Beautiful

We are light, we were born beautiful
We were meant to be more than these shadows of girls
They cut us down to size, afraid we'll change the world
But we'll fight for your right to be beautiful girls
If every girl could see her beauty, we would be an army

We are a thousand voices strong
We are each girl who sings this song
We are a beauty that's our own
and we are, and we are
So Beautiful

and we are, and we are
So Beautiful

We have dreams we were born to fulfill
We were meant to be more than just fairytale girls
We are colors so bright, each a beautiful girl
We are stars in the night, and we're changing the world
When every girl can see her beauty, we will be an army

We are thousand voices strong
We are each girl who sings this song
We are a beauty that's our own
and we are, and we are
So Beautiful
So Beautiful
So Beautiful

We are a thousand voices strong
We are each girl who sings this song
We are a beauty that's our own
and we are, and we are
So Beautiful

Think about it! Beauty isn't defined by how skinny you are, or anything like that! It's inner beauty that really counts (and I hope you already knew that!)! Each girl has a beauty of her very own so don't care about looking good all the time! I know it's hard not to be self-conscious and i'm still working on it myself. But we all should know, the world thinks of beauty as something other than it really is.
So don't be discouraged when you think you're not pretty enough!!
Cause even if you aren't (which isn't possible) it doesn't matter!!

Hey hey

"Some people you can never please
You might as well just let them be
They mock everything not their own
From their imaginary throne
But I won't bow down,
even if the whole world thinks I'm crazy

So hey hey, this song is for us
So put your hands in the air
if you're crazy like us
Hey hey
Hey hey, that's freedom you hear
Comin' right to your ear,
that's the sound from our bus
Hey hey

Why try to be like someone else
When you can only be yourself?
No one can sing the song you do
Be true, be legendary you
So I won't sell out,
even if the whole world thinks I'm crazy

Why kiss the feet of the people who kick you
When you can be anything that you want to?"


Read that... think about it!

Stuff

So, some random stuff...
right now I'm in Washington at my cousin's house. We got here earlier today (Sunday) and are going home on Tuesday, with a stop at another cousin's house!
Lots of cousins up here in WA!

Oh, I got my hair cut!! It's a lot shorter now!! I guess you'll just have to wait and see it!

I'm looking forwards to the WRITERS meeting next week. For more than one reason. I'm also dreading it. For one reason. I'm looking forwards to it because,

1- I love writing
2- I want to see my friends that are in the group
3- I like going to Alice's house
4- I want more people to see my haircut
and 5- I always have a ton of fun!

And here's why I'm DREADING it also!

1- We have to DANCE!!

Oh no!! Why DDR? WHY??

I'm seriously horrible at dancing! Especially with people watching!
But, I guess since it'll be with my friends, it'll be fun. I guess.

But I know Alice is going to make me, so I'm going to have the face the fact.

I'm going to need to dance.

Oh well! I guess it isn't the end of the world! Besides, all those plus's are better than the one minus. So it'll be good!

Well, see you people at WRITERS, or anytime before that, I guess!

Hee hee hee. Bloggy mood!!

Yes, I'm in a really boggy mood right now. I just feel like writing and writing, even though I guess only two people besides me will ever get to read it. Oh well, I don't care! You guys are my friends, Alice and Bells! So I'm glad if you're taking the time to read my silly rambling.
Cause I guess that's what I am doing, isn't it? Rambling! Hahaha, I like that word.
Yeah, I'm still happy, so I guess it's making me a little hyper.
It's fun though.
Really.
Here's a random fact for your enjoyment:
my typing speed right now is 41 words per minute, or somewhere around that.

Yay aren't you happy now? I was random!!


Okay this post is really weird. I'm going to stop now.

Love you guys (well, girls, but whatever)!!

Happiness==?

I was just thinking about being happy.

I am right now. Happy, that is. I just wonder why. I mean, does happiness need a reason? Right now, I know I have a good life, a great family and amazing friends, and I'm listening to music I love (Superchick's new CD, Rock What You Got, check it out).

Is that why I'm happy? Is that ever reason enough to be happy? Or is there no reason at all to be happy, because that stuff is normal for me? Or most people?

But, it's not normal. And what is normal? Really, everyone is different, so how can there be such a thing as normal??

It's just another stereotype, being "normal". Because nothing really is "normal". It's just what people say is normal.

What people expect. That's "normal".

Anyway, going back to the part about happiness, as you can probably tell, I have a lot of questions.
But for right now, I'm going to accept that I am, really, happy, and unless something comes up, I don't think that's going to change for a while.

-Angela

Have a good life!

Holidays =D

Well, it's Christmas Eve, and personally I'm really excited.

It still doesn't seem like December, though!

But anyway, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or whatever you happen to celebrate. It's a good time of year for us all.

I mean, it seems that in December (especially around the 24th/5th) the mood just gets a lot happier.

Anyone else feel this way?

This year, i'm not so sure about it. Usually it actually seems like time to celebrate, but now it just seems like time is still rushing by.
I've finished all my shopping, am excited to see people enjoy gifts and see relatives, but it just doesn't seem right.

I mean, even with the snow we had, in my mind it's still September!!

I guess tomorrow everything might change though.

So have a great winter, Happy Holidays, and soon, Happy new year!!

SNOW!!

Yay for snow! I don't know if you have snow at your house, but we sure have it here at mine! A couple inches, too, and that's a lot for here, especially this time of year! I'm so happy!

The only thing I don't like about it, is the roads are pretty dangerous. I hope people remember to DRIVE SAFELY!!

Well, that's enough of using the computer.

I'm going to go outside and freeze in the snow!!!

Have a good winter!

Concert

Hey! I went to an amazing concert last night. The Springfield High choral concert.

It was so cool! I had two friends who were in it, and they were really good!

I love concerts =)

Which is good, cause I'm going to another one on Thursday! And I'm in one on Friday!

Crazy. It must be 'concert week' I'm serious!

But it's really fun.

I am kind of tired from yesterday, though, I didn't get home until 10 pm, and I had been in town since noon!
But today I don't have much to do (except school- blech) so I can stay home and rest.

Happy holidays everyone!

Encouragement

hey everyone. I dunno if you guys are like me, but you might have hit a down point in life. I mean, it's starting to be winter, it's cold everywhere, and at least for me, it seems like all there is to do is school! So, I was just thinking of a song by Hilary Duff, and I'm gonna post the lyrics here just for fun. Think about them! They do make sense.

"Fly"

In a moment, everything can change,
Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of your yesterday.

Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control,

Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.

All your worries, leave them somewhere else,
Find a dream you can follow,
Reach for something, when there's nothing left,
And the world's feeling hollow.

Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control,

Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.

And when you're down and feel alone,
Just want to run away,
Trust yourself and don't give up,
You know you better than anyone else,

In a moment, everything can change,
Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of yesterday,

Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try,
Fly
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.

In a moment, everything can change.

December

WOW. I just can't believe that it's December already!

Almost 2009!

That's Crazy!

Seriously, it feels like it should still be the middle of the year.
Not the end.

But I guess 2008 DOES have to end sometime. But it's so soon!

Time really does fly, or at least for me.

I mean, does it seem like this for anyone else?
Or is it just me- am I crazier than I thought?

Hahaha. Okay, change of subject.

I'm pretty busy next week. It's nice to have a lot of stuff to do, but really, it seems like I have something on every night of next week!

Mostly concerts. It must be "concert week" or something!

Monday is the one night that I don't have anything. Then, on Tuesday I'm going to my friend's choral concert at Springfield High school. That's gonna be amazing, can't wait!

On Wednesday I help with Awana's at my church. Lots of little kids. Fun fun.

Thursday I'm going to the Logos Middle School concert, I'm not in it, but my brother (Kevin) is, and some of my friends.

And on Friday... Logos High School Concert!! Now THAT one, I AM in! Wow it's so soon! Hope we do well.

And, that's it!

Have a good December everyone, don't forget to make New Year's reservations, stuff like that.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey everyone! Well, thanksgiving is tomorrow! Hope everyone has a great time doing, well, whatever they're doing! I, personally, am going up with my whole family (or most of them, my sister might be sick) to visit relatives. We'll be gone 4 days, Thursday to Sunday.

Anyway, since it's THANKSgiving, and we're supposed to be thankful, here's a short list of things I'm thankful for.

1~ Family
2~Friends
3~Music
4~God
5~Home
6~Email

(yeah I know that last one is kinda stupid, but hey! it's true!)

Well hope you guys are thankful around this time of year too.

Bye! Have a great Thanksgiving holiday! Eat lots of food!! (I know I will!)

Fun stuff

Hey everyone! Some fun stuff has been going on, or is just coming up! On Monday, Alice and I went on a bike ride around town! It was so much fun, and we actually didn't get lost OR hurt! Aren't we great?
I had band yesterday, Tuesday, and that was normal. We have a performance coming up, at Gateway mall. Come if you can!!! (Gateway Mall, December 2nd, 3:30). Today I'll probably just catch up on school, because, wow, I've been getting way far behind. Oops. Then tomorrow, more band, and finally!
Friday! My sleepover for people who can't go to Twilight. That'll be fun. Then, the weekend has some fun stuff, including a Taiwanese banquet at my church, as a fundraiser! We're gonna have yummy chinese food (which I'll be helping cooking) and stuff like that. Can't wait!

Well, that's my week so far, or what's coming up! Pretty normal, but some fun things slip there way in there.

Have a good life (lol)

Boredom-busters

Have you ever had times when you were SO bored, and just couldn't think of anything at all to do? Cause I do, all the time! I mean, I know that there could be work or something to do, or a game, but nothing sounds the least bit interesting, so all you do is sit around like a lump, or go and do endless hours of computer (like I'm doing now!). We should try to do something about that. Totally. I don't like being bored, I mean, who does? It's always nice when there's something to do, and especially if that something to do is fun. See, right now, I'm bored, waiting for my siblings and mom to wake up. So, instead of just sitting on the couch, I got on here, and now i'm posting about boredom. Interesting.

I'm not saying that, like, I'm never gonna be bored anymore, I'm just saying that I want to try to NOT be bored. To find something to do when it seems like there's nothing. Even if it's just to read a book, or go outside, I mean it's better than nothing!

Do you guys have anything that you like to do when you're bored? Hehehe, I'm gonna call them boredom-busters! Also, there's boredom-breakers, i guess I'll call them, things that i do when I'm bored that i probably shouldn't do. Like, sometimes I just get something to eat, like junk food. That's not too good! Or I go stare at some mind-numbing TV screen. I do watch tv still, but if it's just something that I want to do as a boredom-breaker, then i guess it's not too good.

So, from now on, whenever I get bored, I'm gonna try and find something productive to do! Anyone with me?

Life..... and stuff

Okay, so i have no idea what to post about. Life is pretty normal right now. School, band, all that stuff.

Oh, i got something! Since I'm not allowed to go the the Twilight premiere on the 21st, I'm having a sleepover at my house for me and all my friends who aren't allowed to go either! I can't wait. It's gonna be fun. We'll probably watch some other movie, but I can't think of anything good. Any suggestions?

Well, that's all for now!! -Angela

Books

Hey! Now, who doesn't love books and reading? Cuz I don't know anyone who doesn't, and I'm glad, I think I'd have to punch them in the face!!!! I love reading so much, and I've read some pretty good books lately!

I finished Eclipse (thanks so much Alice for letting me borrow it, and sorry Jake for not bringing it up!) and that was great. Well, some parts were rather... interesting but it was still great. It's my favorite of the first three, I still haven't read Breaking Dawn.

And I finished The Hunger Games (thanks Alice and Esme for loaning it to me!) that was SO GOOD too! Can't wait for the sequel! Also as soon as I get my hands on it, I'm going to read the first Kingdom Keepers book (thanks so much for keeping me with a constant supply of books, Alice and Jake) but that's at the library so I'll have to wait a while. I have some other books that are in line too, and i love it!

Anyone else read anything good lately? Have a good life! (I know, Alice, I know).

Yay!

Hey y'all! (wow I never say that....) What's up with everyone? I got back from Washington today, visiting cousins. And aunts, and uncles, and grandma... oh well you get my drift. And, I had my new camera!!! Yep, my very own! I love it!!! It's blue, and awesome, digital. Love it love it love it!

I went to OMSI today with some of those cousins, and my aunt. It was so cool. They have this awesome zappy-thingy, it doesn't hurt, just gives you this awesome tingling sensation. SO COOL! The shock can even pass through one person to the next, it's amazing. If anyone goes to OMSI, you need to try it out. It's in the physics lab. Sweetness.

Well, all i can say is, i had a fun time and can't wait for next month when we go up again for Thanksgiving! Well, have a good Halloween, all!

Quote battle!

Hey everyone! I'm fine, keeping completely busy, but still with a little of free time to do stuff like blog!! Yay I'm so glad I can!

So, I'm officially starting a quote battle! Twilight (and New Moon and Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, too, of course) quotes, okay? So, you can just post a ton of comments with Twilight quotes! They can be your favorite ones, or just any quotes, because hey, all Twilight quotes are awesome! Here, I'll start it off!

Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars—points of light and reason… And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.514


I love that. So sweet. Well have fun posting your own quotes! Have a good life! ~Angela

PS- so there's this awesome band called the Mitch Hansen Band. They write music based on the Twilight books, and have some really really cool songs. You should check them out. Please do!

Exciteyment

Hey everyone! Hope your school year is going well and you aren't all too overloaded with homework (I personally think I am). This week is the Logos break week, which means NO BAND!!!! Yay!!!

So, what am I doing when there's no band, you might be wondering (at least I hope you are). Well, I'm going to be working! Yep! Of all the things to do with no band, work! But, it's worth it. If I do 2 hours of yard work, or just stuff around the house, every day until Wednesday, I'll have enough money to buy the camera I've been longing for! I seriously can't wait.

I'm so excited! I've looked at pictures of it on the Net a million times, seriously. Well, I guess not that often, but who cares. So, I'm gonna be working a lot. Yesterday I raked leaves for two hours. Gosh, did my arms get sore!! Today, I'll probably rake more leaves (we have a ton of trees).

So, that gives me something to do. I also still have to do my homeschool (yuck) and that gives me plenty of other stuff to do. And I have some classes that are still going on not at Logos. Also, I hopefully will be going to Alice's house on Tuesday and I can't wait for that! (it's true, Alice! and not just because I get Eclipse!)

Then, after more school and work, on Wednesday I can finally head over to Walmart and grab that beloved camera of mine! After paying for it, of course, =P

And then on Thursday, guess what? More excitement!!! I don't know if I can handle all this! I get to go up and visit relatives in Washington!!! I can see my favorite cousins again YAY!!! I haven't seen them in forever, I have so much stuff to catch up on, and fun things to do, it's gonna be great!

See? I have so much exciting stuff going on, i think I'm gonna burst! It's great. Does anyone else feel this way? What are all you readers out there up to? (you know I think only three people have actually read this blog. oh well.) Tell me! I care about you!

Well, bye for now!

strangeness!

Hey everyone! Here I am again, loving my new blog! hope you all (whoever you are) will keep reading!

So, last night, I was talking to my cousin on Google Talk (the gmail chat thing). One of my cousins (Will) was on my other cousin Jer's account, and I was talking to him. But, it was really strange for me, becuase I've never actually talked to Will before! They live only a couple hours away, and we visit often. He's a few years older than me. It just struck me weird that, I never talked to him before, and then, last night, I talked to him for almost an hour! Is anyone else like that?

I mean, not talking to their cousins?

Sorry this post is pretty boring, but I didn't have anything else to talk about! And thanks, Alice, for the topic!

Bye! ♥Angela
