Max Mills Will Be Missed, But Not Forgotten

Max and I
Isn't he a charmer? ;D

Max Mills is possibly the coolest person ever. I feel so strongly about him because I look up to him! It's pretty cliche sounding, that statement is said too often, but this time I really do mean it.
I met him in marching band and he seemed really tough and I was so intimidated, I refused to make eye contact and the only means of "looking up" to him was because he was tall.
Later in the season, I randomly started to talk to him and his "tough exterior" started to seem all mooshy! It was great, he was 12 year old trapped in a 18 year old's body! He was funny and he gave out compliments like it was candy. This was just the friend I needed and his jokes were never put downs towards other people, he was just a true comedian!

Now "looking up" to him was easy, the more I got to know him, the more I absolutely adored! He was the nicest of all the Seniors I met, not saying there wasn't any other friendly ones, but  Max was the most welcoming of all. He was always so focused while on the marching band field and that gave me motivation to become a better marcher and person.  From what I witnessed, he was never rude to anyone, no matter what grade, he was constantly smiling and in a good mood, ready to brighten up someone else's day.

On the last night of band, when everyone gathered around Mr. Harmon to listen to his speech, there was already people with watered eyes, but when we finally realized this was the last night as a family, everyone's face was flooded in tears. I was hugging everyone in sight, saying how much I'd miss them, and then I saw Max. My friend Celeste and I talked to him everyday for the past 6 months, and now we could never do that again. We were heartbroken. That is when I started crying.

We hugged so tight and I will never forget what he told me.

"I know I've only known you for a year, but you were the best and I'm going to miss you", that practically made my life.

I honestly love Max to death, and I do not say this alot. He has changed me as a person, for the better. He made me more motivated and determined in life. Before I was just going with the flow, that is no more.

So, I thank him from the bottom of my heart, he will not be forgotten!

The Muppets Are Back!

THE MUPPETS ARE BACK AND I AM SO EXCITED! The Muppets were my childhood so as soon as I heard of this new movie feature these friendly creature, I had to see it at once.  I saw it Saturday afternoon of this break with 7 other friends I dragged to the theatre.  It was quite a scare when some of my friends came in late and the ticket booth lady said they were sold out! So whats a group of kids to do? We, like any normal people, told the manager, and as luck would have it, they had 17 more tickets left! I thought they were sold out...
When we got into the showing room, the lights were already dark and we didn't want to stumble around in the dark so we took the front row, which is very painful for your neck.
The movie itself was fantastic, other than the singing every 20 seconds, but they had wonderful singing voices so it wasn't all bad!
Many celebrities were in the movie such as; Jack Black, Selena Gomez, Whoopi Goldberg, and my favorite; Zach Galifianakis! He played "Hobo Joe"!
I thought the movie was very cute, with a few cheesy jokes that got a couple giggles out of me!


   MEEP!<3

From a Blonde to a Brunette

This weekend my mother decided I needed a haircut and color.  She said  my hair was very unhealthy and damaged from my constant straightening (yes, my hair is naturally curly) and my bleached blonde hair.  Her decision was to re-dye my hair a light brunette color so my hair wouldn't be as stressed. 
I absolutely hate my new hair color with all of my being. It's not that big of a deal because I will dye it back to the blonde, but I still have to have this color for about a month or two. That really irritates me.
I miss my blonde hair!

I Will Be Attending....

Avenged Sevenfold

I have been to alot of concerts, well..compared to most people I guess. I missed the Blessthefall concert and it broke my heart! So I will hopefully be attending the "Buried Alive" concert! Avenged Sevenfold and Asking Alexandria will be performing. Come on. If you don't like one of those fabulous bands..well....

I listen to them everyday and I've seen both in concert, but not one right after the other!

I really hope I can go!

A "WTF" Kinda Moment

This year for marching band we did "Somewhere In Time". This was based off an old, and in my opinion, boring movie, but when you saw us marching the show, it was so magical. My favorite part was the ending, it was so pretty. 
When we performed our show at State Finals, we came in 3rd out of around 100 bands and our score was a little over 90. In marching lingo, this is impressive and Lake Central has never done this well its history. 
We came back the following week and waited intently for our name to be called for Finals, the best you can do. As a band, Lake Central has only gone to Semi-Finals, so this would have been a huge accomplishment and as the "newbees", we wanted to see the upperclassmen go to Finals.
Unfortunately, we got screwed. In one week, our score went from a 90 to an 82, was this a mistake? No. Our name was never called and we were sent packing.  Everyone was in tears, but the memories of "Somewhere In Time" will never be taken away from us!

I.hate.skirts.

This weekend I plan to go to the mall Saturday to get some skirts! I am more of a jean/legging person, but my mother insists I'm not girly enough, or I need a little more pizazz in my wardrobe. Since I now have a solid B in math, which is astonishing because I am just the worst in math, my mother will have to yeild to what skirt I want otherwise she would pick out the thing on the clearence rack with the ugly half-knitted flowers....

This is the lovely skirt I bought!

Applebees...the Worst Resturaunt in the World

After the band homecoming, we all decided to head to Applebees because Chili's was closed at 11:00 at night...who knew?
Unfortunately Applebees was open and when I opened the menu, absolutely nothing apealed to me.  Maybe the burgers would have been okay, but their funky names for their food makes me not want to order them, let alone eat them! I decided to munch on the fry basket, which they had a weird salt/pepper combination to. Their soda tasted out of the ordinary and service was just horrible!
I officially hate Applebees.

Dance Your Pants Off!

Since the marching band participants were unable to attend the actual homecoming dance, October 27, we had our own.  We could invite a "plus one" or a non-band person, so the dance was flooded with people! I chose to take my friend Nick and he was sweet enough to buy me a corsage amd bought a tie that matched my aqua blue dress.  Before the dance, I had my best friend in band come over with her date and we all took cute pictures in preparation for the long night ahead of us.  When we arrived at the dance, we were a little early, so we snatched a great seat! The walls were laced with beautiful decorations and balloons were everywhere.  The music pounded headaches into our heads, and even though the music selection wasn't the greatest, we had the best time!

Happy Birthday to Me!

My birthday could have been better if there wasn't marching band, but since there was, at least I was with people I absolutely adore! Before I left for band, I had a quick moment to open a gift, which my parents bought me a new ipod. It was a wonderful suprise and I had been longing for another one! Weeks earlier, my dad took me to the mall for some shoes I wanted so bad! They were located at Hot Topic and they had Hello Kitty all over them! I'm obsessed with Hello Kitty, she's so cute and reminds me of my childhood.  I could hardly take them off!
When I came back to school from band, 2:00 Sunday morning, my parents were waiting for me in the car with a cake!
It was a great birthday!

These are the amazing shoes I recieved for my birthday! I'm in love with them...Hello Kitty is just adorable. End of Story!
