What happened to the original mother on Family Matters? I love that show, but most of the seasons had this one lady playing Harriette Winslow, but in about the last year, there was ANOTHER lady! She looked nothing like the first one, she didn’t even act the same. Yet she was supposed to still be Harriette. Uh, ok…

Also, in one of my favorite shows, That’s So Raven (shhh!), there is a mother in the first few seasons. Suddenly… she was gone. GONE! What happened to her?

Speaking of Raven…

If you watch Disney channel, you would know about the Disney movie(s) The Cheetah Girls. 2 of those girls are from this group called 3LW (3 Little Women). Man, when they first came out back around 2000… I loved them! It’s crazy how much my music taste changes.

Celsie and I watched a movie thing called “Laura” that we made back in about 2001, which also had some 3LW music in the background, and it was sad. We are so young too! Crazy! But it was supposed to be a horror movie. It was the most pathetic thing ever about a girl named Laura singing Ring Around the Rosie and haunting Celsie (Riley). In part 2, my friend Jamie joins in (Chloe) and is “sleeping over” in the movie. What makes it so funny is they say it’s getting dark and it’s time for bed, yet the sun is blaring in. We had commercials (most of which were commercials for Mary Kate and Ashley books/movies), and then we MADE UP bloopers! They weren’t even real! We just faked them at the end! Wow, but we got quite a laugh out of that.

1. My 18th birthday is on the 7th. So soon! But I still don’t know what to do.

2. I was on CBS Evening News with Bob Schieffer!!! Here is a link to the article. Great, now everyone knows my last name! Here comes the stalkers. Though they pronounced it wrong on the news! Haha. But EVERYONE makes the same mistake so it’s all good. But they did this interview back on March 31st. It was a crazy day for me, so nervous! And my room was filled with camera equipment.

Well I recorded it with my camcorder, because I had no other way. Quality is crap BUT I will upload it to YouTube for those of you who didn’t see it anyways. Better than nothing! Maybe someone else will put it on some other time… in better quality. For now, this will work.

So uhh I obviously am in need of a haircut. But, if you can’t tell by my boring hair, I HATE getting my hair cut because I always end up hating it. But I need one, and I hate my hair now anyways.

BUT

I have no idea how to get it cut. I need your help. Please, I can’t figure this out. So if you can send me pictures of what you think might look good on me, or if you have amazing photoshop skills and can photoshop some hair on me, that would be awesome. If anyone could help, keep a few things in mind: Don’t just give me some picture of a haircut you like, but one that you would think would look good on ME. My hair is naturally like it is in my more recent videos but I don’t have a problem straightening it. But I hate hair that takes forever to style, so keep it kind of simple.
So if you can help me, thank you.
Whatever hair dresser I go to is going to hate me. I haven’t got my hair cut in so freakin’ long.

I finally got my permit on the 26th. I drove that night, when it was getting dark. It was my first time and I was so scared, even though it was just in some big empty school parking lot. But whoa, being in control of this big thing that I am used to just sitting in and letting everyone else drive AND doing it at NIGHT the first time… kind of scary. But I couldn’t drive for a while after that since I got my wisdom teeth pulled and it would be best not to drive on those medications.

Yesterday I bought myself a digital camcorder, which I was really happy about. But the problem is that today I realized it is not exactly what I want so I am going tomorrow to get something else instead. YAY! I can leave my room easier to make videos! WOOO! No more shakey either!!!!!!
But also yesterday, I had to babysit my nephew, who is 3. So I was there, pretty happy that I got a camcorder. But then there is a knock at the door. My sister doesn’t want me answering the door when I babysit so I ignored it but they knocked again and rang the doorbell. So I look outside and it was my parents, weird. They never come when I babysit. So I open the door, they ask how I’m doing and stuff then tell me to come out.

Whoa is me… what is that!?!?

It’s a car. And it’s not theirs. Where are their cars??
“How do you like your car?”

MY CAR!?!?

It’s a

1999 Suzuki V6 Grand Vitara

It is exactly like this one:

See, they told me they were getting me a car for graduation and to help me get out into the world. But we were planning on some old junkie. I guess my dad spent more on this than he originally planned, but it is a pretty good one. Sure, a few things should be fixed sometime (like the fact that I have to PRY open the gas thingy… and I need a new radio, etc) but everything is fine for my needs. I am very thankful.

But this was a shock! Wow.

So I drove it today for about an hour 1/2 or more. I drove on all kinds of streets, even busy ones. First time driving out of a parking lot and only second time driving at all. I did pretty well, better than I see some other new drivers. Though my dad is pretty good at calmly telling me when I am doing something wrong instead of freaking out about it, thus freaking me out.

I am pretty proud of myself for finally learning how to drive, though I feel as though if I did earlier, I would have been stupid and kind of reckless about it.

Well to get off that topic…

Around August and September, I always start thinking about Halloween. I know, I know, wayyy early to think about it. But I can’t help it, I just do. Since I love dressing up so FREAKIN’ much. Well this year I am thinking of being Charlie Chaplin. My secret love.

But that doesn’t matter to you guys, I’m just excited to be him and need to start hunting for the right clothing and stuff. I will also need to learn a few of his “ways”. Bwahaha!

ILOVEYOU!

I just got back from getting my wisdom teeth removed, fun stuff. I’m VERY glad I chose the anesthesia because I would be way too scared to stay awake through it. Right now I am still kind of out of it and have these annoying things in my mouth to suck up the blood and stuff. Gah, uncomfortable. Well the nurse chicks gave me some flowers.

AHHH my stomach just growled like crazy! As if it matters.

That is all, my wonderful people. I would talk about more but can’t really even really think about much right now, I’m still out of it.

Oh but when they were giving me the anesthesia, I was about to say to them, “this is major tom to ground control, I’m stepping through the door. And I’m floating in the most peculiar way.  And the stars look very different today” But I was out of it before I had a chance. But the lady complimented my Bowie shirt! Rock it.

I’m in kind of a crappy mood today and I have no idea why. Woke up on the “wrong side of the bed” maybe, or just female issues. Whatever. But I am even annoyed by MUSIC!!! Me, annoyed by music! Something is wrong here.

Anyways, I am pretty bored right now so I decided to update. I think tomorrow I am getting together with a couple of friends and we are going to hang out in some other towns and stuff. Just… leave the city I live in. I realized I haven’t in a while. Then on Tuesday I am FINALLY (Pshh, I’m slow) going to the DMV and try to get my permit. Again, I will say… FINALLY! I decided I just needed to do it. I don’t know why I have been putting it off so long. Maybe because I have always seen driving as a sign of growing up and having responsibilities, yet I still want to be a kid. Or maybe I’m just lazy. One of those.

When is a new videoblog coming? I have no idea.
BUT I am thinking of doing a video thing for a some music that “frycookonvenus” (on YouTube) made and sent me. I am trying to think some stuff up. Kind of have an idea what to do. But that won’t be for a while, just telling you about some future video plans.
I am also thinking that after that I will take b31chan’s suggestion to do one of the videos like Imagine again, but with Bowie’s “Let’s Dance”. I think it’s a great idea!

So on the 4th of July, I hung out with Celsie and her friend Heather. We went to watch fireworks then later we lit some of our own. It was a pretty fun night, but my batteries only lasted a little while. Here are a few pictures:

This guy’s name is David. This was my first time meeting him. His driving scares the heck out of me!! *cries*

I took this picture of Celsie from inside her car. It looks pretty cool, yes?

Ok so this isn’t of anyone, but I still think it looks cool. I took this in the car. We were pretty mad because it was raining for a while and we weren’t sure how long it would last. Luckily, it didn’t last at all.

Celsie and her beautiful teeth.

We just bought this big bottle of Mountain Dew and shared it.

Me, Celsie, Celsie’s nephew, and Heather.

A few fireworks:

Love Melody

P.S. Are all ex’s cowards?

I haven’t updated this much lately, but I have also been slacking in the videoblog area!!

So a couple days ago I was told about this website that allows you to broadcast live video and I thought it was pretty cool because you could put the code on your website or even MySpace. It seemed pretty cool and fun to me, though most people are just broadcasting themselves sitting at their computer staring at the screen. I found that I blab a lot more than normal and my strangeness seems to be expressed in a larger weirder way. I already have people saying they “love me” and saying “Will you marry me?” And why? I don’t know. But then again, I have the bunch of people telling me I’m ugly, mental, and even a bible freak (only because I bring up God and life sometimes, so what?) I still have fun with it all though. So what is the site? Stickam.com is it. My username is also BowieChick on there too. See the thing is, I can blab and chat with a bunch of people at once and it isn’t like instant messanger, with a bunch of windows open getting confused with all the conversations. If you have me added to IM, you may have noticed I… never… get on. That is why. It’s hard. I know I say “feel free to IM me”, and you CAN… if you can catch me on! But this would be easier. I don’t think you even need to be a member to chat.

So enough about that site.

I have been up to kind of a bit lately, trying to make the most out of my last full summer. I won’t be getting a job this summer but as soon as school starts for most people, I will be trying to get a job.
My friend Amanda’s parents were gone for 10 days, as I said in a video. I slept over about 5 nights and hung out a lot of those days. Just doing random crap. One day we even got sharpies and screwed up some perfectly good white shirts. Heh, we just made them “our own”. It was a lot of fun though, as dorkish as that is.
Some of these days I am just trying to relax a bit or spend a long time in my pool.
Just enjoying being free.

So I was extremely bored one day so I grabbed my camera and started taking pictures of random things, and then soon of myself (lame, but don’t say you don’t do it!) and I quite liked this one I took, but I didn’t like how simple it was. So I went photoshop crazy and used some cool brushes on the background. I really like it some reason, so here… I will share it. Man I feel lame.

Oh how I just adore my lovely huge lump on my nose. Ok maybe I don’t exactly adore it. Maybe I actually hate it. Oh well, I like this picture. I feel conceited or something. I am not used to actually liking a picture of myself…

This is the brick I painted today. At our school I guess it’s tradition that seniors paint bricks and they put them out in the senior courtyard (I think, shows I much I know about the school I went to for 4 years). I told my Algebra 2 teacher, who loves Rod Stewart probably more than I love Bowie and she freaked out and got all excited and said she will make sure it goes in a good place. HAHA! A lot of people will just put their name or “class of ‘06″ but that does NOT represent me at all. I think this is so much more… me. Agree?

For my closest friends, as a graduation gift, I am making a picture/video slideshow of our highschool years. I will put them all on DVD for them. Unfortunately, it will not be uploaded to YouTube for you guys to see because it is just for us, and there is stuff that would make it even easier to “stalk me” on there. Ok so I haven’t made it yet, but there WILL be.

Guess what tomorrow is. 6-6-06. Lets all scream at the horror of it all.

Ok so I finally posted a couple new videos today! I’ve been on a little break. Still came online a bit, but didn’t blog or anything. So here I am, bloggin’.

Tomorrow is senior day! YAY! I will be wearing my autograph shirt so people can sign me. Fun stuff. I still can’t believe that I will no longer be in school. For a lot of others, that isn’t the case since they are going to college. I realize that a lot of things will be changing for me right now. School has been a part of my life since I was 5. Going 5 days a week, every week, except for Christmas and Summer Vacation. But after that break, I would just go right back to school. Only at this time when September comes back around, I won’t be going back to school. I need to get a job too (it will be my first job) and actually learn how to freakin’ drive, since I’m a loser like that. And some of my friends I won’t see anymore. Some are moving wayyyy out there and the ones that are staying… well I hope I still see them as much as possible. Especially Lindsay.

Ok this has been on my mind. Graduation - happy for it, yet worried and sad.

It’s getting late and I don’t want to be too tired tomorrow…

Goodnight everyone!

I put my Sk8er Boi video on private for now. I am tired of seeing people talk crap about my friend.

Anyways, people I am subscribed to:
LokiTheCatFromHell- Well, if you have seen the videos, you would know they are great. Very entertaining and different. Love them!
Slayerette- I am entertained by her long and unedited videos and I don’t know why. But you know what? She hasn’t put a video on in a week! SLACKER!
ZenArcher- His videos are a nice break from the funny stuff I am used to seeing. He actually seems to have something important to talk about in each video and they have meaning.
ArtieTSMIT- I just love his re-enactments!
Mellomel- “Big brother”. He puts work into the editing of his videos and her personality is awesome.
Morbeck- Well, psh, his videos just ROCK! I love his parodies and chipmunk chick and all those other characters.
YTMovieProject- Just check out the profile, you will see.
ZaranyZerak- He also puts work into his vlogs. It took me a while to subscribe to his and I don’t know why. I have been watching his videos for a while now but haven’t really commented more than a couple times.
Devin1487- I admit, I didn’t even know about his videos before I found him on Tube Tubers, but he ALSO puts work into his videos and they are quite entertaining. And I like his eyeballs.
LittleLoca- Quite a character, very entertaining.
