Hello, everyone! I wanted to write this blog in color to fully express my excitement! (And gay pride.... I kid, I kid.)
So everyone is always going on about, Friday the thirteenth, oh, it's bad luck, doom shall bequeath us all, blah blah blah. I'm here to tell you that they're all dirty, rotten, stinking, LIARS!!!!!!! And I shall tell you why the case may be...... that is, for me, of course :) Unless it all goes horribly wrong..... which it won't. Because it's my lucky day!!!!!
This year, it is my lucky day for two reasons! At first, I thought it was only one, but then I recieved this fabulous bit of information, and I was just like, this is a SIGN. A sign that Friday the 13 is, without a doubt, my absolute luckiest day in the history of life. Specifically, Friday, November 13, 2009.
What I already knew was that November 13 was the day of my school dance! My grade has a grand total of TWO dances every year, but they're always super-fun. They're easily the most anticipated days of the entire school year. At least, in my humble opinion, they are. I love dressing out of uniform, going to the dance with all my friends, having a blast and singing and dancing to all of our favorite songs. It's so incredible. Our normally boring cafeteria instantly becomes this lively party setting that every student can enjoy- definitely a big step up from "chamber of yelling adults and possibly poisonous unknown food substances".
The real reason why November 13 is such a big deal this year, though, is that Twilight stars are going off on their annual cast tour, and they're coming to a mall, what, a half hour drive from where I live? What are the odds that, out of 15 locations in the country they could have picked, they came in such close proximity to me? And on my lucky day? That, right there. That is FATE. Fate in its finest hour, fate finally giving back to me, after all the crap its put me through over the years! Fate is finally on my side! I was all prepared to take my chances, beg and plead to go to TwiTours for my birthday, in high hopes that I would meet a cast member in January. Oh, but why wait until January when you could meet them in THREE WEEKS?????? I'm close to fainting at the thought.
Who cares if wristband-buying time is at 8 A.M. on a Saturday morning, half an hour away, on Halloween, no less? Who cares if the thirteenth lands on a school day, and I can't miss school, or else I can't attend the dance? Or if the cast event conflicts with the school dance altogether? There will be other dances, yes? This is the opportunity of a lifetime. And I can't miss out on it. I don't care what the sacrafice is. No matter what price there is to pay, don't think for a second that I won't pay it. How in GOD'S NAME does anyone expect me to sit nicely in school, learning about exponents and eagles (I slightly wretch at the thought), when there are Twilight stars to be seen so close? I'm not taking THAT sitting down. In fact, I forsee a crying, screaming tantrum in front of my whole class. Yeah, meltdown in the middle of Algebra? Not cool.
And here is where we solve the problem..... I can just go the the Twilight star event! I shall perish otherwise. No matter what. This forever seals my opinion that Friday the 13 is, was, and always will be, the luckiest day EVER!!!!
Love,
Patty ♥♪♫☼

Jenny's Bat Mitzvah!
Hey hey hey! Just thought I'd write about one of my BFFLs, Jenny, and her bat mitzvah, which was today.
Before anything else, Jenny, I am SO INCREDIBLY proud of you. You're going to do great things in life. I just know you are.
The service was, to be quite honest, fairly boring, although I paid attention when Jenny talked. (It was easier when she was talking in English. During the parts that were in Hebrew, I just sort of nodded and pretended to get it. Also, I was faking like I knew the songs that half the people were singing by following along from the Torah pamphlet or whatever.)
After the service, we all rode in vans to the Hyatt, where the actual party was going to be, a.k.a the fun part. There was a van packed with girls, and, like, three guys sitting in the back. I almost started laughing hysterically when "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift came on the radio, because every single girl in the vehicle was singing along, and the guys had this pained expression on their faces. It was actually pretty amusing.
So we got to the Hyatt, and we all signed a huge cutout of Jenny, and I totally want one. Not of Jenny, of myself. Seriously, I wanna know where I can get one of those things. And we walked into the Society Lounge, and everything was decorated and beautiful! The theme was designer brands, so all the kids got to sit at the Juicy Couture table :)
Everyone looked stunning, naturally. They were all wearing lovely dresses (not the guys, duh) that ranged from solid colored to bright neon patterns, from floor length to mid-thigh. Each dress was unique, and I can't seem to think of a single person who didn't look great.
There was a photo area, where I got two photo ops with my friends and I, and we got spray-painted shirts or hats. I got a shirt with my name on it, with a pink and purple Playboy bunny. My parents are so proud :D
The food was delicious, which is only to be expected, what with all the carbs... haha! You should have seen my plate. Minus the breaded chicken fingers (is that carbs? IDK) everything on my plate was carb-city. I had a breadstick, pasta, and french fries. That, my friends, is fried guilt. And the ice cream was tasty, too! I really got an impressive workout trying to dig into that bucket. LOL!
The picture montage was great, and I was pretty entertained by some of the more interesting pictures of Jenny over the years.... hehe. The music was wonderful too, covering everything from the older songs that are still pretty popular today to our current playlist: Britney Spears, Lady GaGa, Katy Perry. All those lovely, wholesome inspirations.....
In all, the party was completely wonderful. Sadly, during the dancing part, my light-up ring was defective and I didn't get a plastic fedora (Nodding my head like yeaaaa! Moving my hips like yeaaaa!), nor did I get a blow-up guitar or a light-up microphone. BUT! I kindly gave away my tambourine thingie to Courtney, who wanted one desperately, haha! I still have my cutely tacky necklace, though. And, I'll have you know, as I type this entry, I'm still wearing my dress and red shutter shades on my head ;)
Love ya!

"Year One" Review
I know I'm more than a little late, but don't judge me! I just watched "Year One" on DVD for the first time, so I thought I'd share what I think.
First off, it was so funny I cried. The whole movie was absolutely hysterical, I loved it all.
Secondly, some parts were just so puke-inducing that words can't even describe it. Sheep intestines? Rubbing oil on a grossly hairy dude's chest? I wanted to vomit, I kid you not.
They stuck in a whole bunch of bits and pieces from history and the bible, and I was like, ?? It was extraordinarily amusing.
If you are ever having a depressing and/or stressful day, rent this movie. Buy it. Order it OnDemand, I don't care. But it WILL considerably brighten your day.

Writing "Alice"
As you all may or may not know (but you probably should), I love to write. And I love the Twilight Saga. These are easily two of my favorite things IN THE WORLD!!!!!! And so I write fan-fiction. Sort of. Well, I don't actually post it anywhere, I just write some of the characters from their point of view. I focus on their stories, on their beginnings, what could have possibly been running though their minds during their last minutes human, what their reactions were upon awakening as a vampire.
I've already written Rosalie's story, which, if any of you have read Eclipse, isn't very pleasant. It begins when she is lying in the cold street, recalling her life, thinking of what once was, could have been, and never could be again. It ends when she looks into the mirror for the first time in her new life, sees her new face, and wonders what she is. Now, I'm taking on the point of view of someone different, and who has always intrigued me as a character...
Alice.
She doesn't recall any of her human life, and so her story begins when she first wakes up. She can't remember, and she panics. But then she has her visions of Jasper, of the Cullens, and they save her. The future guided her in the right direction, told her which way to go. This is the journey that I want to follow along with Alice, and understand how she goes from waking up to where she winds up in the end.
It's been a lot of fun, so far, to write as Alice. She has an interesting story, and I don't see myself as deciding these things. I feel as though I'm letting Alice come to me, and show me herself what happened. It feels like something that really could be, at least for her, in her world. It doesn't make much sense, I know, but it doesn't have to. In my mind, Alice is telling me her story.
Love,
Patty ♥
P.S.- Probably my favorite Alice quote: "How strongly are you opposed to grand theft auto?"

Save the Arts, People!
Today I'm BEYOND AGGRAVATED. Most of my day went just fine, actually, until I got to sixth period. Because that's when I discovered IT.
IT, my friends, is information.
Information that Drama Club will NOT be going on this year!
Let me explain something to you first, so you get the complete picture.
I am anything but an athletically inclined person. I cannot sprint a mile or hit a ball to save my life. Therefore, what do I look to for extracurricular activities, since our super-competitive school sports teams are clearly out of the question? Allow me to answer that for you. I turn to the arts!
My whole life, I've been dramatic. I exaggerate and emphasize and rant until my point has been made, and then some. Anyone who reads this blog should know that. Anyone who has read any of my poetry should know that. Anyone who has even the faintest glimmer of who I am as a person should know that.
Unfortunately, due to budget cuts (yet another example of how Barack Obama has been doing a fat load of nothing), all of the arts have been cut at our school. So not just Drama Club! We're talking dance team, step team, art class, the whole lot.
Thankfully, the student council is, at least, trying to do something about it. My BFFL Jillian is on student council, and she reported that there will be a fundraiser in an attempt to bring back the arts. My school will be selling No Uniform passes, good for the Friday before Halloween, in order to raise the sum of money needed to return the arts to the student body. At least 1,000 students need to purchase if we're going to be successful! IF YOU'RE READING THIS AND YOU GO TO MY SCHOOL, BUY ONE!!!!!!! In fact, even feel free to donate more than the required $5. That would be just fabulous. Come on, people! Open your hearts! It's about time we save the arts!
(Hey, that rhymes!)
Love,
Patty ♥

Good Luck to My Fave Band Girls!
This one goes to all my girlies who are performing in the Fall Concert tomorrow night, on October 21, 2009. I'm proud of you, and I know you'll all do well! On my top three are, in no particular order:
Iyanu: Oy, chica! Your very first concert as a saxophonist! Exciting, I know, but also nerve-wracking. You have to have faith in yourself, have confidence that you're gonna do absolutely amazing, and that no one can stop you from being your wonderful, musically-gifted self.
Sarah: ILY, Sarah! You're always going to and fro to get that huge instrument case u have to tote around. Now that, my dear, is dedication. I believe in you, and I know that your unmatchable talent will put every musician around you to shame.
Kayla: OME! I'm beyond proud of you, Kayla. You always put 100% effort into everything you do, and band is anything but an exception. You put so much heart and care toward being a flutist, and I know that you're going to be absolutely incredible.
My fave band girls are credited above! ILY all so much! You're all so amazingly talented and put a lot of hard work into band, and now it's your night to shine.
Love,
Patty ♥

One. Month. GAH.
Oh em geee!!!!! It's exactly one month until New Moon as of today!!!!! I couldn't be more excited if I tried!!!!!
Well, I probably could. But you all wouldn't want to see that. Pretty scary.
So YEAH!!!!!!! I'm totally excited. It seems like just yesterday that I was celebrating the 100 day mark.... and now we've been reduced to this. Where has time gone?
Oh, and a new clip from New Moon was released on iTunes today!
I watched it, and Bella was so angry, and Paul was so insane, and Sam was all deep-voiced which I found sort of amusing, and then Bella slapped Paul across the face! I was like, oh snappp. She just slapped a werewolf with anger-management issues. She's pretty much dead. But, of course, for all of you who have read the book, you know she isn't really! But Paul explodes into a huge, snarly gray wolf, and then Jacob came running down from the house. Bella was totally in a panic, running away as her little klutzy self, and BOOM! Wolfy Jacob! Hehe, I liked his face at the end of the clip. I thought it was sort of funny.
And yeah! I'm sorry that you all had to tolerate my fangirl rant. LOL!
Love ya,
Patty ♥
P.S.- I've decided that, instead of saying "I'm on Team Edward" to a Team Jacob person, you could say something much more creative that will more than likely leave them confused and without a response........
"Sorry, but I'm a fang-banger."
I have yet to see anyone come up with something to say for that one!!!! LMAO! Isn't that a much funner response? Team Edward girls, try it out on your Team Jacob BFF. Team Jacob girls, better start wracking those brains for a clever comeback!
