30 Gigs of Awesomness: A Day At Warped Tour

My second time at the Warped Tour was better (and rainy-er) than ever! Woot!


First, the best part of the day: I got to meet the band Ludo! Not only did I take a couple of pictures with Andrew Volpe, the lead singer and one cool dude, but the entire band signed my the back of my ipod!! And one of the band mates before signing my ipod was like, "30 Gigs of awesomeness!" I really couldn't phrase it any better than that. :D











On a side note, when it comes to meeting anyone even vaguely famous I act like a total dork. For instance, upon meeting the members of Ludo I just sort of smiled dumbly a lot instead of having a normal conversation or discussing their music.



The only really bad part of the day was when it started raining (then pouring, then hailing) right before Relient K came on. The whole place started flooding and I had to wade threw inches (inches, people, inches) of water in my flip flops while it was hailing. Fun! Even though I had an umbrella I still got soaked. But after 20 minutes the rain sorta died down, and the sun came back out like nothing had happened.


I saw Ludo, The Academy Is..., Angels and Airwaves, All Time Low, Cobra Starship, Gym Class Heroes, Pennywise, Relient K, Say Anything, and Story of the Year. All were great. :)

I've been on vacation in South Carolina for the past couple of days, hanging around Myrtle Beach. Which is why I haven't posted for a couple of days. I haven't really had a chance to get on the internet un til now. Our hotel room has a scenic view of the roof and a bunch of big air-conditioners. :) But it has been a pretty fun so far.

Recently we went to Ripley's Aquarium. One of the coolest features in my opinion is the tanks for most of the fish in the main part of the aquarium. You walk through a sort of tunnel and the tank is all around you, so you're able to see the undersides of the sharks and fish as they swim over you. Also, I got to pet a sting ray! :D

By the way, if you'd like to see more pictures my sister has a bunch of them soon to be posted on her deviant art account. (username Sarcastic-Ninja)

In Twilight news, Stephenie Meyer is posting a quote a day from Breaking Dawn on the days leading up to its August 2nd release on her website.

Photo Inspiration: In Which Alannah Discovers That There's Actually a Park Where She Lives

I went to my local state park a couple of days ago (I know, my summer has been so exciting so far-Not). But it was kinda fun, and I did get to take some nice pictures. Trees, a lake, the usual park-ish things.

These were taken with my cell phone camera, because my real, and rather expensive, camera hates me and is no longer working (something's wrong with the battery).

This is a totally unrelated sidenote, but I can't seem to get the song Morningstar by AFI out of my head. As a result I'm playing it over and over and over and over (you get the idea) again. Anyone else know/like this song?

Happy 4th of July!!

So true...

This picture just made my day :D I thought I'd share it with everyone else.

Cascades of Ice

Some of you have already seen this up on my deviantart page but I thought I'd post this pic here for two reasons:

1: People seem to actually like it, and/or think it looks cool

2: It's Springtime! So I thought I'd post this picture as a sort of farewell gesture to all things wintry, icy, and cold (ie. Most of the things that make me miserable)

I actually took this picture in a parking lot! I know it looks like I trekked out to some rocky cliff in the middle of winter to take it, but this cropping of rocks was at the end of a mall parking lot. Despite being a 14 year old girl, I find that I actually prefer nature like this most of the time to the often too crowded, boring mall I live near.

In other news:

The Bamboozle Festival is this Saturday! And I still haven't gotten tickets. What am I thinking?

I'm going to be posting a review for a cool book called Generation Dead which I just finished reading and should be reaching a bookstore near you,

Shoes

It's April Fools Day! Did anyone play any good pranks or get pranked on?
Everyone at my school just basically forgot about it.



I'm usually not the kind of person to obsess about clothes or shoes or anything, but I absolutely adore these shoes!! They're converse! With purple laces!














Shooooeeeessssssssssssssss :D

Random Pictures

So far January has been a slow post month for me. Since nothing really exciting has been going on in my life recently I thought I'd post some of the pictures I took with my new camera so far.

These are pictures of when I went to go see Juno with my friends.

<--- One of my friend Jen eating popcorn. I took it in black and white.



We went to this 50's style restaurant afterwards. I loved how they gave you ketchup in a smiley face.

I actually liked Juno. It definitely had some good parts, but it wasn't as funny as i thought it would be. The soundtrack to it sucked though.



This is just a picture I took of a tree with lights on it. It came out a little fuzzy, but I think that just makes it look cooler.





Orlando Bloom's birthday was yesterday :D

Finally!

I finally got a digital camera! It was a late Christmas present from my family and I absolutely love it. It's a red Casio Exilim, and I must say it's pretty fancy. It has 8.1 mega pixels and a youtube capture mode that films video in a youtube file size.


Here's some pictures of the camera. These pictures will also hopefully be the last I take with my crappy camera cell phone.






<---Ooooh Shiny!!



I also want to thank all the commenters on this blog. All of your comments and the thought that someone is actually reading this blog make me warm and fuzzy inside. :D

Isn't that cute? The guy in the pic is from Hellogoodbye.

A Picture of the Cast

Here's a picture of most of the cast for the play, the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, that I was in this weekend. A lot of the people have already changed out of costume.

Warped Tour Pics

My first time going to Warped Tour was great. I saw bands I liked and I discovered new bands too. Which I guess is the whole point of the tour. Oh, and to make money.

I was in the very front of the crowd for Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and I got some pretty good pictures of the band.

My favorite picture:

Daytona Beach Pictures

Here's some pictures I took with my cell phone while staying at Daytona Beach.

Dorney Park Pics

This is the Talon. Probably the best roller coaster in Dorney Park. I rode it 4 times. In a row.

Pictures of my friends. Including Spencer's newly discovered good twin. Don't ask.

1st Place!

This Friday the band and chorus from my my school, which I'm both in, competed agaisnt other schools and thousands of kids at the Hershey Park competition.

  1st place chorus for junior high
• 1st place band for junior high

• 1st place overall for band of all the schools, junior high and middle school

Here's all the pictures I took throughout the day

Some of my friends and me, being bored on the 2 and a half hour bus drive.





^ There's one of the many rows of buses, and if you look closely in the backround, you'll see the building were we had to meet for the award ceremony.

Here's some pictures of the entrance to the park, and my friends and me.





And finally, pictures of the trophies!


The ride home was actually pretty exciting too.
My friend Joey asked out my other friend Ashley in front of the whole bus and she said yes. They're really cute together :D
And our busdriver got pulled over because he was doing 82 miles an hour.
