I've won at life!!!

Or at least a contest!

I enter contest all the time, and I have yet to win one... Until now!!!

Jessica Brody was holding a contest for her new book "The Karma Club". It was to get people to watch the book trailer. Each person was given a special link, and how ever many clicks that link got the person got that many entries. I don't know how many I got, but it was enough for me to win a 25 dollar itunes card. It's not much, but I still won something. I would have rather won that instead of the grand prize because I'm not a big fan of the flip cams, and it helps me grow my music collection (Which is at a little over seven thousand songs!). Not only did I get the gift card, I also got a book mark and a sneak peek of the book which Jessica Brody signed. I find that pretty cool.

Anyway, It has been a while since I last posted (and has anyone noticed that I say that in every blog post I write?).

I have started to drive. I am no where near being able to afford a car and insurance yet, but I thought it would be a good thing to learn in advance. It's also kind of a good thing as well because my mom is getting herself pretty much a full body physical, and she needs someone to be able to drive her if needed. Yesterday she had a colonscopy, and was heavily sedated. She actually waited until I was a little comfortable driving to have this done. So I wasn't as nervous driving her as if she were to have it done a week ago. I've only been driving for two weeks and she was comfortable and trustworthy enough to have me drive her in a incoherent state. That actually made me more confident that nervous or scared. I love my mom. She is awesome.
Hopefully I will be able to go for my drivers license in a few weeks. That's my plan anyway.

Well I'm going to go. I hope everyone is having a great month. I hope to blog again soon!

Much love and DFTBA

The Karma Club

Loving to read, and win books.

You all know (Or should know) that I love to read...A LOT!

So when I heard there was a girl hosting a contest to win books, I immediately went to sign up.

I think it is the coolest thing ever! The way it is set up is you have to fill out a form. and you get entry points by doing little things like posting a blog about the contest or tweeting about it.

So if you are interesting in this contest it is called March Madness Contest and you can find it HERE

:D

The Final Battle.

For most of you that are friends with me on Facebook or watch one of my many collab channels, you know that I am in the orchestra pit for the musical "The Final Battle"

I bet some of you are wondering, "What in the heck is The Final Battle?" The Final Battle is a musical based on the last 200 pages of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hollows. It is going to be performed at Infinitus 2010, which is a Harry Potter convention happening in July at the Wizarding World Of Harry Potter theme park in Orlando, Florida. The scripted is being written by Mallory Vance. The music is being composed by Lena Gabrielle Weinstein, of the Butterbeer Experience.

Well the reason why I brought this up is because I just finished listening to Act 1's music, and I officially love it! I can't wait to hear Act 2's music. The more I listen to the music, the more and more I get excited and pumped for July to come faster!

Infinitus, Here I come!

I want to be a challenge girl

Since I was about 7 or 8, I have been watching the Real World/Road Rules Challenges. I remember watching these shows and saying to myself, "I want to be able to do those awesome things!" Since then it was my life's mission to be on the Real World or Road Rules (I mostly wanted to be on Road Rules since it was based on doing challenges.), so that maybe one day I'll get to be on one of their Challenges.

I still really want to be on one of these shows. Not for the attention, not for the money, but for the experience. I'm one of those people that want to do weird crazy disgusting things, and do something that nobody else will get to do or want to do in their lifetime. I love being challenged physically and mentally in a competitive environment. I love being able to prove that I can do better than what others think I can. I'd like to prove that to myself as well. I'd be perfect for that kind of show!

I know with the way reality tv is now-a-days, I wouldn't have a shot in Hades to get on these shows.

Which makes me a sad Alicia. :(

It doesn't mean I'm still not going to audition!

I'm thinking about applying to be on the Real World. I can't audition for Road Rules because they canceled the show. Obviously they didn't know a good show when they saw it because they get rid of Road Rules to replace it with Jersey Shore. Enough said.

If they come out with a third Fresh Meat Challenge, I might apply for that because it would get me right into the Challenge!!!

I am such a dreamer, I know.

I bet you are wondering why I brought this topic up.

Well the other night I had a dream having to do with it. It was based on the challenge except it had a few friends of mine, some famous Youtuber's (The only one's I can remember at the moment is Johnny Paula, Jory Caron, and Haley G Hoover), The 7NAP girls, and myself. It was a really cool dream. I might make a short story out of it.

The dream made me happy, and I was sad to know that it was just a dream.

So now you all know my secret not-so-shameful, but completely unreachable dream.

I want to be one of the people on the Real World Road Rules Challenges doing crazy stuff that normal people wouldn't be caught dead doing.

Is that so bad?

Oh wow I'm finally posting.

It's been a while.

I probably say that every time I post a blog here.

Sorry.

Anyways, life has been interesting the past few months.

Since I last posted I've...

Finish Nanowrimo. I wrote 50,058 words! I am in the process of revising it because I think it could have a lot of potential. This is actually the first story I have ever finished before. I've probably started over fifteen stories in my lifetime. One out of every fifteen stories. That's not a good statistic.

Recently I broke up with Casey. The feelings just weren't there for me anymore. I was beginning to feel trapped, and the relationship aspect was fading and wearing thin. In other words, I enjoy being single too much. Is that a bad thing?

I've started an idea for videos on my youtube that has to do with my love for music. It's called Music Tuesday. It's were I will mention two or three bands that I think are awesome. They can be signed to a mainstream label, or an unsigned band.

I've been trying to figure out what I was going to do with this project. Since The New Rock podcast was canceled, I was kind of left with a sour taste in my mouth. I felt like my job wasn't done, and that I still need to be introducing great bands to people who would thoroughly enjoy it.

I was thinking about restarting the radio show I had on Blog Talk radio, but an hour was too long of a time limit for me. Even if I made it a 15 minute show, it would still feel a bit long. A lot of the times I felt like I was rambling about random things that didn't even go along with what I was talking about. The times I was on topic I tended to repeat a lot of what I was saying.

With a vlog style music show, it will cut down on dead space, and repeated lines. It will be shorter, and be more about the bands that I am talking about. That's what I like. I like making informative things be kind of scripted. I never got the chance to script my radio show, and the podcast was free form and I can't really think off the top of my head really fast.

That's why I'm starting this. More than likely the first episode will be next week.

In other news, 7 Nerds A Plenty is going pretty awesome. I love being able to say that I am making new friends with this project.

In The Great Perhaps Started the first day of the year. I am Monday on that channel. That channel is going to be based on themed weeks. It's a new and interesting thing for me.

Easley High held the CIPA (Carolina Indoor Performance Association) Qualifier this weekend. I had to work for the first half, so I was only able to see the Easley Varsity guard, and The Cast. The Cast is an independent guard based in Dorman (I think) that I wanted to audition for. They canceled the '09 season, and for the '10 season I didn't even know they were going to do it. My friend Dee is in it though, and she is Amazing. The Varsity guard was also amazing. I love being able to see my friends grow, and improve in the sport of colorguard. I'm so proud of them.

Anyways, I better split. I think I talked to much.

Peace out friends.

DFTBA!!!

and

Ha Bisky!!!
