BEDA and the wonders of sickness..

I sicken myself when I look at the date of my last post. I suppose I really can't keep track of things and that worries me. Well then it is time for a change and I'm going to commit to this blog for at least 30 days. Why? Well because BEDA (or Blog Everyday In April) is starting tomorrow! I wasn't quite ready for the challenge last year as I had only just started blogging, but now it's about time I seriously stop neglecting my blog. Thanks to Maureen Johnson, now all you slackers like me, can seriously commit to something and feel a sense of achievement. Most bloggers write daily anyway, so BEDA would be a bit pointless, but it doesn't mean you can't participate.

So my friend Lo came up with a plan/list of themes and ideas to talk about on each day of BEDA. I checked it out and it seems pretty good and quite consistent so I think I'll use it, but I might make a couple of alterations maybe here and there. I think it was a really good idea though! That way you can't feel uninspired or feel as if you have nothing to talk about. So, here's the original list:

1. BEDA Intro/Interviews(?)
2. Music
3. Food
4. Weekly Wrap-Up
5. Sports
6. History of Hairstyles
7. Celebrity Crushes
8. Things I Love Thursday
9. Teach us!
10. Shopping Kryptonite
11. Weekly Wrap-Up
12. Daily Routines
13. Unique skills
14. Travel
15. Things I Love Thursday
16. Collections
17. Books/What you're reading
18. Weekly Wrap-up
19. Timewasters
20. Dreams
21. Guilty Pleasures
22. Things I Love Thursday
23. Weather stories
24. Favourite Childhood Books
25. Weekly Wrap-Up
26. Quotations
27. Addictions
28. Favourites
29. Things I Love Thursday
30. End-of-BEDA Post

Also, I've recently become obsessed with the expression "ZOMG". I just think it says a lot more than the simple O-M-G! AAAAH ROME TOMORROW!! I can't wait! I finally get to see my grandparents, my and and uncle and my cousins after more than a year. Not to mention, I get to go back to my "hometown" which I really miss. It's such an amazing place to be in and the people are so great. There is always something to do there and it's one of those old cities that's always full of life. It's where the old and the new mix together wherever you go. It's not like in most cities where you have the ancient part of town and the modern part. In Rome, history and modern art are everywhere. From the roads you walk on to the buildings you walk in to. So yes, I am super excited! I leave tomorrow morning and it's a 7 hour drive down there. I suppose that may explain the possible shorter blog posts for the next 4 days because I believe I'll be using a PC with much slower internet and I won't be online as much. OH! And guess what? Meekakitty (Tessa Violet) is heading down to Rome tomorrow with her mom too! That's really exciting for me because she's one of my favourite youtubers and I'd love to meet her. So I shall keep my eyes wide open.

I guess that's all for today. Just wanted to warm up before the 30 days of blogging! I'll have plenty to talk about, I suppose. And besides, April's a good month and we'll definitely be in Spring-like weather. Okay, I just jinxed it. Oh ari..

See you tomorrow!

Forever Young ..

Woah. I'm not even going to start trying to explain myself for the lack of posts and neglecting everything lately, like: Twitter, YouTube and my blog. Alright, one thing that has definitely not been neglected is Facebook.. but I have specific reasons for that. I apoligize anyway.

First of all, someone has been jinxing us Squirrel Rebellion girls. It started off with Ashley not being able to post, then Anna having problems with technology and then me. My iSight will not work, so I tried filming on my iPhone and everything was fine, but when I tried opening iMovie to do the editing, iMovie crashed and would not launch. Now, if I want to post next week I'll have to film an entire video all in one go with my phone and try and put it up just like that.. That will be awful. Something is going on with my laptop and I don't know how to fix it because I've never had problems with it before. I don't want to pay to get it fixed! I'll have to work something out.

Anyway, if I thought I was confused before..well I'm on a whole new level of confused at the moment. I am the most confused human being you will ever meet right now. Everything is just confusing me, life is confusing. How many times have you seen me use the word "confused"? Well, I'm afraid you will have to get used to it because I have a slight feeling it's going to appear in a few of my future posts. I'm confused because: I'm a teenager and I have a messed up mind which causes me to get too emotionally attached to my good guy friends and then causing trouble. So, seen as it has happened to me before I'm trying to keep things quiet so that it won't ruin the friendship, but it's hard. VERY HARD. (TWSS)

Also, I miss my friends a lot. The ones who were over two weeks ago. The house just feels empty without them and it was so nice to finally have them both over because it felt like the old times when they were still in school with me. Awh..I'm sad now. I suppose I have a lot to say, but most of it is quite personal and I wouldn't like to bore you with more rambling. I just wanted to update and say I'm still here.. somewhere. Oh, and my friend has influenced me with his music and now I'm no longer listening to Guns n Roses, but Jason Derulo, Timbaland, Usher and One Republic. This is not okay. BUT I'm sure it's just a phase, it must be.

Au revoir for now..
