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!!!

Nanowrimo and turning 21.

I am participating in Nanowrimo, or National Novel Writing Month. It's where you try and write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. On day three I have 5,691 words, and I'm still writing. I feel like it's going really good so far. I also realized with the way my story is going, I can incorporate a story I started writing last year. I didn't plan that out at all, so that really blew my mind.

Next Monday I turn 21. Time for me to go out and get drunk? WRONG!!! I just decided yesterday that for the year I am 21 I am going to do various challenges, and film them to share with the world. I think it will be quite interesting, and would definitely keep me from being bored all the time. They will range from Yearly, monthly, and weekly challenges. Every month will have a specific challenge that I have to complete. I'm still figuring it out, and will keep you informed. Tomorrow I'm filming a video to explain it more in detail. I can't wait!

Other than that, I've been making videos for a collab channel I joined two weeks ago, Nerdfightercollab. The people in it are super cool. Brain Eclipse hasn't really posted videos since we all talk through skype and facebook. We still post videos from time to time, but not regularly.
I also going to be apart of one more collab channel. We are still working with the info, but I think we have come up with the channel name "7 Nerds-A-Plenty" (Awesome right. I came up with the name! hehe) I'm excited to see how that goes. Especially since it's more of a worldly group. Two of us are from America, 3 from Canada, one from the United Kingdom, and the one who came up with the idea is from New Zealand. It's super cool!!!

Well, I think I'm going to go write some more for Nanowrimo so I won't get behind.

Best Wishes!!!

Blarg to the tenth degree.

I am in the mood to blog today so I decided I would.

I have been in such a weird mood today.

It's one of mood's where you're happy, but then you're in a state of panic, and then back to happy.

I guess I am just so worried about finding a job, and moving on with my life that is putting in the state of panic. It's one of the weirdest feelings I've ever had.

You know what is awesome? Japanese pop music. I have been listening to it for the past two weeks. It all stems from watching Human Tetris (The Japanese game show where the people have to try and fit through a hole in the wall, or get pushed off the platform into water). In the related videos box, it had a video that caught my interest. It was a Japanese fitness video with the catchiest J-pop song. After that one was finished, I went looking for more. I found something that made me so happy and so sad at the same time.

This video is the dance routine to the song Renai Revolution 21. It may seem trivial to you, but I've been listening to that song since tenth grade. I never knew the name to it, and I had no idea who sung it. My friend Sophia gave me a cd with the song on it. She was a foreign exchange student from Korea. Every time I hear the song I think of her, and how great of a friend she was. It just made my week.

I went to Awanita this weekend. Cassen, Steven, Tim, Ashley, and Alex were there. Tiffany came up Saturday, and so did Lauren and a guy named Ian. Ian was sort of annoying, but I didn't let that damper my happiness. It was a beautiful weekend. It wasn't rainy for once! Don't get me wrong I love the rain, but when I want to be outside, I'd prefer that it is sunny.





I got some pretty good shots this weekend.

I also film a bunch, and will be making a video of that soon.

*(For a side note I just tried to spell soon soong. haha)*

Anyway, Yesterday I was watching "The Women" with my mom, and I got inspiration from that movie.
There is one scene where Meg Ryan's Character tries to find herself, and she goes around and takes photo's of random things. I want to do that!!! So when I get a chance, I'm going to go around downtown Easley (At Least to Start off), and photography random things. I'm also going to film things as well. Yay for Inspiration!!!

Well I'm going to to get ready for church. I haven't been to church in two weeks. I need to learn to call people and tell them I'm going to be gone or something lol.

I am a Fag Hag...

...It's true.

I'm also watching Margaret Cho. lol.

So I told you in my last blog that I'd post my first video from my new youtube channel.



I've been coming up with many ideas for videos. I'm excited for what's to come.

I have also been applying to jobs like crazy. This week Applebee's and Bi-lo.

I need to call Staples, CVS, and Pizza Hut to see if they received my application, and have processed it.

Tomorrow might be the BHP marching Competition. The time is pending because of chance of rain, so I have no idea when it starts or even if they are going to have it. I really hope it doesn't rain.

I'm thinking about applying for Tri County for fall of 2010, or spring 2011 since they are building a Campus in Easley. It's a good step for me in furthering my education. I just really hope they have a photography class, or some type of graphics media.

Anyway. That's pretty much it.

I never have anything to say any more.

HA BISKY!!!

Best Wishes!

My feet are cold.

That has nothing to do with what I'm blogging about.

I have completely neglected this blog.

I can't blame it on being busy. I haven't been busy. I haven't been up to anything. I have just been plain lazy!!!

So I have a few updates.

1: I am now a member of the Brain eclipse video collab channel on youtube. I am Saturday. Nobody has posted since I joined though. lol. I'm sure it's only temporary.

2: With the brain Eclipse crew, we have thoroughly discussed going to Infinitus 2010. Now for those of you who don't know Infinitus is a Harry Potter Conference. It will be held from July 15-18 at the Wizarding World Of Harry Potter in Orlando, Florida. The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter is Universal Studios newest theme park, and it will be so awesome. I'm truly excited about going, and I'm even more excited about meeting the Brain Eclipse crew as we head down there together. :)

3: I have started writing video ideas. I have been wanting to get back into making vlogs, and music videos. A lot of ideas have been storming into my brain, and I just need to get them out. I'll post the videos up once they are uploaded.

I have applied to three jobs; Pizza Hut, Staples, and CVS. In a week, I'm going to start calling them and asking how my application is going. I really need a job.

My brother told me that our friend, Alan, is looking for another job. He currently works at the movie theater with my brother. Now I know this sounds mean, but I hope he finds another job. If he gets another job, then he's going to quit the Theater job, and Eric is going to ask the manager to interview me for a job there. Now as much as I don't want to work with my brother (And since he is management, he'll be over what I do), I really need a job. I need something that pays, and if that means getting orders from my brother then so be it.

I need a car. For two reasons. One, I'm tired of having to ask my mother and other people for a ride places, and two because I need to go visit my friends.
Most of my friends are in college, and I want to be able to go visit them. I have a few friends (Thanks to Awanita) that don't live anywhere near me. I need to be able to go visit them on a weekend or something.
I want to be able to drive when I need to when Cassen and I go on that road trip that we want to go on soon. Let's face it I don't want my brother having to drive the entire time!!!

I've been obsessed with Doctor Who and reading lately. I really don't need to give an explanation on either one of those because they are both freaking awesome!!!

That's pretty much it.

Hopefully the next time you see a blog from me, it will include a video from me. :)

DFTBA

~Alicia~

P.S. I forgot to mention that I've been dating Casey for two months now!!! I'm excited. I've never been in a relationship for that long before. It's weird for me.
