Your Gift is Imagination

You are constantly dreaming. You are always thinking about what could be. You love to express yourself in many ways. You have a way with words and tell vivid stories. You love to be amused. You are good entertaining yourself, and other people find you hilarious. You're the type of person who finds staying happy easy. There's always fun to be had!

this is so so true i love this quiz :)

You Paint the World with Wild Colors

You are a true free spirit. You are very whimsical. Your friends can always count on you to be spontaneous and totally unpredictable. You are a truly zany person ... though sometimes you get sick of your wild ways. You don't feel like you're being outrageous. You just feel like you're doing your own thing!

another one I made
an old Tshirt that i turned into a cute halter top
but my mum made me wear another shirt underneath :( *sigh* o well


please comment :)

never sewed by machine before
so my friend did it for me but i got to help
my idea, design and pants, and painting
but her sewing the two halves together






the shorts were the fail pants, they were the 2 halves that got cut wrong and ended up not even able to fit my 8yearold brother. we had to add denim on the sides and cut them to shorts. everyone likes them except me of course :/
theyre paint on the front, denim on sides and black on the back
all of the pictures make it hard to see all angles without looking terrible so i'll just put one up

more specifically aichmophobia - extreme fear of needles and sharp objects
yeah thats me all right
and i have to get a crapload of shots, and a blood test soon because the doctors are pretty much certain i have hypothyroidism AS A TEENAGER!
how is this possible!?
and it explains why i've gained so so so much weight even tho i'm eating less and exercising more, and depression and well everything basically
but i cant get my blood taken :'''( i'm terrified of needles and they HURT so bad
with the anxiety too?! its not possible!
does anyone else have this condition or know of some kind of numbing cream or something that can help me when i have to get the shots/blood test?

Dance Recital was last night and today
i'm so happy to be in the advanced groups
was in
House -for lyrical
Law and Order -for jazz
24 -for contemporary
and Sleeping Beauty (arts channel) for ballet

they went quite awesomely :)

MyHeritage: Celebrity Collage - Free family tree - Family search

not quite back on track yet
you guys all know my big mistake (cough cough mum)
even though the abundance of chocolate and ice cream doesnt help at all
i calculated it out and had about 480 cals today :)
still fattening and loads of carbs but...its a start
i highly reccomend this livestrong website
thedailyplate.com

my new camera :)

i'm so proud I earned all the money by myself and worked really hard for it. It has 15x zoom, 75(?) mm lens and a big screen.
Nikon Coolpix L100

amazingly brilliant.
now i actually have a camera.
now if only i could get some decent pictures....my biggest problem is that i always get motion blur, even when nothing is moving, my hands are perfectly still. mind-boggling.

crazy, intense, weird, overimaginative dream last night....

So apparantly Obama teamed up with Disney to start a 'cost effective revolution that would get us out of the depression'. it turned out to be a 2nd Holocaust trying to eliminate the cost of all non-humans; dancers and redheads (marissa i think our conversation somehow killed me in my dream).
So i was happily given up by my family and taken to Disneyland (by the scariest roller of your life crazy weird dream situation...but thats boring).
Upon arrival at Disneyland there was a sign exactly like the one at Auschwitz in front, but instead of it saying 'work will set you free' it said 'work will make you the happiest person on earth'. We were each stamped with permanent ink re-entry stamps that gave each of us a Number. mine was D3SLR. which scarily can be tied in with my name.
The 'happiest place on earth' was turned into a work camp. mostly electrical, bolts, screws, mechanical work that was all used towards repairing the rollercoaster to bring new 'unhumans' to disneyland as well as ways of killing us off.
We only tried to do a good job at it just so we wouldnt be hit with this...i wanna say it was a whip...but it was more of a painful Disney toy that looked like a whip; either way it looked like it would hurt very bad.
Marissa and Grace i'm sorry but at around this area of my dream you were taken to the DisneyCinema.
You were both killed.
a few 'days' later they made us run laps around the entire park, and if you've ever been to Disneyland you would understand how painful that would be, especially to us that cant run for our dear lives...theroetically speaking; those who stopped running were shot, by people dressed in Disney character costumes that was the scariest part, after a few rounds of this they decided that bullets cost too much to make, so we were taken to the DisneyCinema too.
It was great at first, a little break, there were cloud-flavoured (wow i have way too much of an imagination, but they tasted good) crumpets with whipped cream instead of our normal ration of water. We were showed a few Disney films (i think it was the Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, and Enchanted....except all were a bit twisted so that the main character was actually a villain...its beyond me how i can remember every detail of the films though).


when the lights came on to show that the 3rd film was over immediately bullets were fired (i guess they were too uncreative to find another way to kill us?) and the remaining survivors were taken and put in white room like cages where the electricity we harvested in the work camp was used to kill us by sucking out our imaginations....ouch. and then i died along with almost everyone else, so the end i woke up. surprisingly scary dreams
i don't think i'll be watching any disney films for quite awhile now
now don't get me wrong, i love red hair to death, and i am a dancer, but nightmare's will be nightmare's and that would be a terrible nightmare if all dancers and redheads were taken off the planet now wouldnt it? ;)

as you can see it was my friend's bday today finally :)

she cut open the cake and was in shock the look on her face was classic!
and it actually tasted really good, nice and airy, she loved it, which is great.
and then she made some Indonesian noodles (she's Indonesian) that were very nice and lo-cal too to make up for the cake in a way
no dinner obviously

but today was great other than that
wildly dancing around to hilarious great techno music!
making videos in the shopping centre!
being crazy!
dancing around!
our 5 hour adrenoline rush ended 15 mins before we had to be picked up
so we just managed to make our tired selves back over to the apple store we previously got kicked out of, the manager let us stay thank goodness; but with a quizzical look on his face you can tell he knew we were too exhausted to be anymore mischievous.

and then, at dance, only one down side to this terrible class that isnt even mine (used for recital rehearsal) we have a recital style secret-sister sort of thing. of course the one girl i draw name is the type of girl who is...kinda snobby...and not only that but i'm pretty much broke. :/
she said she like yellow, i think i'll get some hilighters as a joke and then draw her an awesome card-esque drawing.
but we got to dance in our costumes and use the garlands. They're Thumbelina costumes! it totally makes up for the suckish choreography!

so as they once said, "acting at its worst can be far worse than a skin disease"
well they got that right!





first off i'm with a modelling agency, NOT ACTING.
which should be the other way around but i got called for the modelling so it wasnt something i was gonna pass on. that agency doesnt do acting though.
almost pointless in a way.
my pictures were 2years old by now (started 2yrs ago obviously i have aged) and just as i was going to go to get new pictures...
lets cut the story short
i got scammed
and now i have 5 digital email pictures
they are very nice but where did the rest go?
yeah you get the point.
2nd off:
I really really want to audition for my dream role
(*Molly in the Looking Glass Wars* i think i'd make this role perfectly and so do many other people who have seen me act, but thats nothing to say cos i'm sure many others are the same way)
but there lies more than a handful of problems beside the audition
GETTING TO THE AUDITION
which thank God hasnt been announced yet.
1. know someone in the industry (or who knows someone...you get the picture here i'm sure)
i don't know ANYBODY
2. be with an ACTING agency....well scammed and stuck with modelling *which isnt much for petite 14yr olds
3. i would need those pictures i assume
4. well thank God i know how to audition and can act.....but still something to always improve on :)
5. be with SAG union...yeah as you hear from the above that isn't quite possible or working out
6. it's not that my mum is against me acting, thats not true at all, but i have a little brother, family and school and she can always come up with too many excuses NOT to take me to auditions

i hate this right now

more of 'hate that i love it'

'cos you know, i can't say i hate it even though right now is TERRIBLE, 'cos i LOVE & ADORE acting

so i mean suck it up right? done.
ignore it? not quite done even for a never-bothered-by-anything person like me


in other words
Somebody please help me :'(

some lovely roses at costco




the front side of my bag
that i drew

...can hear or see something once and its memorised (not too uncommon either i suppose)
...memorised entire movies word for word in 2 languages by the time she was 3yrs old
(with songs, and movements)
...can convince her school to let her take 2 languages
...and when they say no and try to prove her dumb with a test, she shows them with a perfect score
...saw the arrow in the FedEx logo before anyone else did (after they read it online somewher or something of course)
...can make rediculously good icecream sandwich cake
...can make amazing zuchinni soup
...is the only high schooler i know who is dedicated to learning languages
...is super ambitious
.......and still seems to fail at things

so we dissected a pig at school
good fun good fun
me and my friend in the picture cut thru the skull and ripped out the brains..
so ungirly girls :)
and at the same time we are
as our friend Pierre said, you'd never guess that we're ballerina girls who are super girly other than this

i made these as a sort of practice for my friend's bday cake i'm making, these were for another friend at school's bday. Everyone loved them, they taste good and look just darling.










now now lyra lets get to making them
ok so they arent hard

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
a box of white cake mix (my grocery store had Betty Crocker so thats what i used)
*exact measurements on the back of the box*
1 box of white cake mix
1 thing of frosting, i used white
cupcake liners
water 1 1/4 cup
egg white (3)
vegetable oil 1/3 cup

step 1:
preheat oven to 325dg F
& take out the cupcake pan and put liners in.

step 2:
mix egg, cake mix, water and oil in a bowl. with a beater of course

step 3:
so keep that same bowl and divide the mixture up into 5 bowl total (this is including the one its already in, lest not to waste bowls)
so one for Red
one for orange
one for green (*i didnt use yellow since the yellow and orange look so similar, if you include yellow please tell me how it goes)
one for blue
and one for purple

step 4:
now that all the mix is divided up...now to add colour
the back of the gel dye box shows measurements but of course red=red, orange=red+yellow, green=green+2blue if you like, blue= blue, purple = red + blue.

step 5:
now since a different spoon is in each colour*remember this*
take the red bowl and spoon and start dividing it into each cupcake liner tray hole whatever you call them with the spoon.
repeat with orange
then green..etc.
DO NOT MIX THE COLOURS!! THEY WILL STAY NICELY ON TOP OF EACHOTHER!! DO NOT MIX THEM AROUND WITH YOUR SPOON!! you'll only come up with brown

step 6:
the oven should be done by now so put the muffins in for 20mins

step 7:
DING! theyre done! now let them cool for a bit before you put icing on top of them.


UPDATE!: i made my friends cake

YESTERDAY:
didnt go to dance (i hate that class its the level lower's rehearsal, total waste)
had under 200 before dinnertime, in which i probably had 200 more, putting me at actually around
400, more or less
and i did so good, i had no junk food except for 2 bites of my mum's creme brulee.
i also saw Night at the Museum 2
what a funny movie! not as good as the first but it was definitely worth it, so so funny!
and to top things off
i have to find, memorise and perfect a dramatic monologue in exactly 2weeks

TODAY:
woke up
went to pointe and did very very well
i substituted regular milk for almond breeze milk, 20 calories plus half serving of Cheerios = 65 calories :)
burnt that off in pointe
came home to take a shower and check facebook (gotta love procastinating) and then my mum was like 'I have a way for you to practice your spanish!'...she took me down to an outlet mall literally on the border. like on one side of the mall you're 5metres from the border, of course you cant walk over though, the gate is way to big and protected for that
and the first thing i noticed there was the GIANT Mexican flag on the other side, i've never seen a flag any bigger than that before in my life.
The outlet mall was amazing, all the already cheaper stores were all having sales.
I bought some Ray-Ban style yellow sunglasses from Old Navy for $5, marked down from $30. 2 pair of flip flops from there for $5 (thats like 2.50 ea.! i love this place, and they actually had ones in my small small size, stupid Cinderella feet)
~pastel Yellow and skin colour
and i got some jeans and sweats from Aeropastale for i'm not kidding $5 each and usually they much more expensive (last time i got jeans from there they were i think 30 or 35 dollars? and this is coming from a 14year old so thats quite a bit)
amazing!
but...

i ate a philly-reuben-sandwich. very good. but probably very fattening. but i was still a big hungry after i finished, didnt eat any more, just water. and i hope no more for today. who knows how many calories that was!

and i got to speak Spanish there :) the only point where it got annoying was when a lady who worked at Aeropastale came up to me asking me what size jeans I wanted her to find in perfect spanish, the odd part, i never asked for jeans and wasnt even near the jeans section, and also just simply didnt want to talk to her (after a failed attempt trying to say i wasnt looking for jeans), again in Spanish, i just said 'no hablo espanol, lo siento' (i'm sorry i dont speak spanish). but instead of her just getting the hint and walkig away she starts yelling at me 'BUT YOURE SPEAKING SPANISH NOW?!' --> 'pero ahora te hablas español!?'.
i feel so badly for confusing her like that but it was just one of those, i dont want to talk to anyone moments.
very antisocial, very rude, i know, but kind of neccessary.


anyway that was my day :)
i'll post pictures once they upload....

(edit)ok so my pictures didnt upload right so most of these pictures are from google, but you get the idea, and theyre very similar to mine




ok this next one is one i took from a moving car on my cameraphone :] pretty good for a bad situation

well i dont have a picture of either of my bags yet, one is nowhere near done
and the other is almost done

also my sketchbook still needs to be scanned by my friend but for now i will take crap-quality phonecamera pictures.

i've got some designs i plan on making, drawings of Paris, a drawing for a history project thats still in progress (cough cough great fire of London). and a drawing i'm certain i put up already but i'm not quite sure (the black cauldron one)

please comment on them please :)

slowly getting back on task
with everything actually
this past week and a half has been a crash and burn sort of fail
i would forget my homework for school, not do too well in dance, slack off from practicing the languages i'm learning, and of course, binge, not even little binges, like full out bingefest. terrible dreadful horrible
but yesterday my caloric intake was about 200. less if you consider i went to dance for 3 hrs and did well and some of the stuff i ate was negative calories.
