Love- Writing (and Not Writing)
As anyone who has Mister D for English knows, I love to write. (yes! That paragraph was mine!!) Sometimes the feeling just swells up in me and all of a sudden, I'm clamoring for a pencil and a piece of paper. It's usually poetry.
FUNNY STORY: I was on a bus riding home from a field trip with my very good friend Erica. (go check her out: http://blogspotmorelikerantspot.blogspot .com ) All of a sudden, the hills are fricken yelling at me, saying, "SHEENA!!!! GO WRITE!! NOW!!!" So I turn to Erica and ask for pen and paper. For some reason, she has a pen, but no paper. Nobody on the bus does. So instead, I grab Erica's phone and start typing out the poem that comes to me. It was a love poem (sigh. Guys. Well, that's another post.), but I don't really remember it.
Anyway, the point of this story is: don't let ANYTHING stop you from doing what you love. Even if it seems impossible. Also, English teachers should carry paper with them. Then again, so should people who want to be writers.
So, onto the NOT writing. In a nutshell, if I don't feel it in me to write, I won't. Otherwise, it will be crappy. That's why I haven't been posting a lot lately. (Charles Bucowski sums it up pretty well in the poem, "so you want to be a writer?") Also, I have things like school, friends, church, choir, do I need to go on?
Also to do with not writing, I'm going to be starting Wordless Wednesdays. This means that every Wednesday, I will be posting a picture that has to do with how I'm feeling. They will still be catagorized under peace, love, music, or fashion. Hate the idea? Comment below.
Till the pencil case is solved,
Sheena :)

Music- the past, present, and future
Hey guys! Long time no post, eh? Sorry about that...
Anyway, I was thinking about this stuff earlier.... What's your take on it?
You know how our parents act when they hear an old song on the radio that meant something to them? And they still love that song? And they have that cheesy flash-back moment? And we, being teenagers, groan and flush with embarrassment. >.< (Note: Sine the discovery of a 24/7 Bruce Springsteen radio station, this has been happening to me a lot.) I was thinking: will we have that moment? With the way music is going, maybe not. Between the stuck-up, Disney-ified pop stars and the rappers, where all they seem to do is talk about sex, pot, and getting drunk. (Don't even get me started on Ke$ha.) Seriously. I was at a party today where the host was forced to stop playing Journey and play (and this I quote; not my words in the least) "some real music, like Ludacris or something."
I know, there is hope. But seriously. Music is an art. It's been turned into a trash can. Let's change it back.

Love- Top Couples of All Time (according to me, at least!)
I love when an author/director/playwright/life gets 2 people who are perfect for each other together, don't you? Here are my favorites.
Hero & Claudio-Much Ado About Nothing, Shakespeare. This is one of my favorite plays ever! It remindes me so much of my life: who's dating who, who's NOT dating who, who's moving: the usual middle school stuff. And these two are so cute! :) :) :)
Aria & T.R.H.T.W.N.I.F. (the really hot teacher whose name I forget)-Pretty Little Liars, ABC Family. I am so addicted to this show. OMG I got soooo freaked out at the end of the Homecoming dance episode. I'm behind a week so don't you DARE!!! tell me what happens. I know that he is her teacher and all, but awwwwwh!!!!! They are so cute, eating one of the three things he can cook. :) If he hadn't been her teacher, they would have been up higher.
Mr. & Mrs. R.-real life couple (names not shown for privacy) These are 2 people who teach English at my school. They are married and are perfect for each other!!! I had Mrs. R. last year, and the only thing she talked about more than him was their son. They make such a cute couple! I love these guys!!! :D :D :D

Katmiss & Peeta-The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins. If you haven't already go read this book. It's fricken incredible. Go now, because there's spoilers in this paragraph...... You read it? Good. Anyway, aren't they so cute?! Especially when their both injured. Total aww moments! (No, seriously. I was reading this book in the library and I went "Awww!" a couple times. Out loud. oops.) And now they've been through so much together... But of course there's the problem of Gale. (don don DONNNNNN!!!) What do you think? Katmiss and Peeta, or Katmiss and Gale? (no spoilers, I haven't read Catching Fire yet.)
Buzz & Jessie- Toy Story 2 and 3, Pixar. OMG! I luhhhvveee these movies!!! :) And these two make such a good pair. Their personalities really bounce off each other. I originally thought Woody and Jessie should have been a pair, but they're way too similar. I mean, (spoiler alert!!!!!) even when Lotso' gets him, he still thinks Jessie is beautiful. ( Yes, this actually happens. While in 'guard mode', he says, "Even your beautiful feminine looks won't get you out." Or something like that.) SPANISH MODE!!! ;D
Mia & Micheal- The Princess Diaries series, Meg Cabot. Best. Chick-Lit. Book. Series. EVARRRRRR!!! LOL ^_^ It's not totally chick lit, but whatever. IDGAC. These two are so friggin' cute!!!! And in the last book: OMG!!! They TOTALLY do it at the end. I know, it didn't say that, but sorry Meg, it's pretty obvious!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Mia, I'm sorry but you are totally dense. In an adorable way, yes. But I'm still always a step ahead of her.
I'll post more couples over time. :)

Fashion- Purple Eyeshadow
I have just discovered the beauty of purple eyeshadow.
It looks fabulous on everyone. Light skin, dark skin, brunettes, blondes... everyone except some red heads. Most can't pull it off.
Some shades look best on different people. A shimmery purple is best for people like me- fair skined blondes. A shade closer to plum, would look better on a darker skinned person. Some are in between. Don't be afraid to experiment! Although, if you do, experiment with an honest friend with good fashion sense. A second opinion is ALWAYS important.

Music- Showchoir, and how it's not Glee AT ALL
Many people have heard of showchoir before. Many that have heard of it think they know everything about it from Glee. Boy, are they wrong.
Yes, Glee may be the easiest example of showchoir. But let me tell you how it's NOT showchoir.
#1: choirs have a bit more than 12 people.
#2: A choir NEVER sings through an entire song the day they get it. It's pretty much impossible to. We get through... oh say... 5 measures, maybe? 10, if it's easy. (For you nonmusical people: thats 20-40 seconds of singing.)
#3: The choreography? A bit harder. Think: more arm movements. Plus, choreographers.
#4: Choir directors have music credientials. (No offense, Mr. Shue!)
#5: Entire songs aren't solos. Mostly, it's the whole choir singing together.
#6: The costumes have more sparkles. I'm dead serious. Did you know that the number one high school choir in America, In Sync of BHS, has a Bedazzler? As in a person. No lie.
But it is like my choir experience, in some ways, like.....
#1: The P.E. teachers hate choir. Why? Nobody really knows...
#2: Competition is important. It's the only way to prove ourselves to the band kids.
#3: There is plenty of drama. Drama with drama dressing with a side of drama.
#4: There is favoritism. In Glee, it's Finn and Rachel. They sing too much.
But hey, it's a good show. Can't wait for next season!
Luh-ve yah!
oh, and btw:
in sync>powerhouse!!!!!

Peace- hippie vans
So apparently, I will never be getting a hippie van, according to my father.
Dammit.
Supossedly, they have no airbags (ok, that's believeable), and because of their flat front, there's little to protect you in an accident. Okay, so that also makes sense. But come on! A hippie without a hippie van is like The Beatles without George Harrison. It'll work, but it's just not right!
Bye, dream car.......
