Scholarship: The Chill Pill

     I ave entered another scholarship. The prompt was interesting.

“If you could say one thing to the entire world at once, what would it be and why?"

I decited to make it a bit ironic and dramatic. I hope Paige enjoys it!

Vidcon DFTBA : '013 (Part one)

All of this was made possible by the brothers
...and Mom and Grandma.

     This past weekend my friends (Paige and Jackie) and I took the train to go to Vidcon (Aug 1-4). It was awesome. My mother got me my ticket for my birthday and my grandma (dad's mom; if you wondered) let us crash at her place for the duration of the weekend. She lives like less then a mile away from the convention so it was perfect...PURRRRRfect..

(click on links for hidden surprises
also I'll be posting a part two more about my thoughts,  &opinions, and my errrs & ahhhhhs. So stay tuned for that.)

Youtube: A Few of My Internet Friends (part 1)

Enjoy.
- They aren't in any biast order. I just feel like the list should be numbered.

Tahoe Trip (Summer 2013)

     Well two week ago I ventured off on a 9 hour drive to a land with trees, a lake, spontaneous nose bleeds, trees, my cousins, and . . .ohhh did I mention the trees."What town is this?" - Says person who didn't read the title. It was the southern part of Tahoe.

pictures of the tasting room

     My cousins beautiful house literally on the lake. They had kayaks and stand-up paddle boards. I prefer the kayaks, not only because of KAY, but also I can't balance of the life of me and wasn't in the mood for the chilly swim. On Independence day we took the boat out on the lake and watched the fireworks from the lake-shore.

     Also by the lake-shore, my Aunt and Uncle has their own a wine tasting room in Heavenly Village. It is called Red Poets and Skyhawk Lanes Wines and they even have an running ad. Its on YouTube, but it won't post on here for some reason. It a cool video for me cause I see Aunt Pia (our left) and my Papa (center) at 0:10 and Aunt Renee at 0:17. I must say even though I don't drink (for some odd reason ;), I hear their wine is great and you should check them out if you get the chance to.

     While I was there I got a chance bond a little with my crazy smart cousins, Sarah (my age) and Alec (about 2 years younger), that I see about once or twice a year. Sarah is taking AP History (it was world or euro. I don't recall which one.) and Alec is taking Spanish 3 this summer. They make it feel like people would laugh when I showed up with not even 18 physics questions for the summer. **PSHHHHH Sarah reads 30 pages from her history book a night and Alec has to weekly talk to his teacher over the phone IN SPANISH**. 

     One night they managed to find some time to watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Our parents came home from dinner (yah without us D:) and watch with us. I keep on thinking Ferris is Michael J. Fox, but it was Matthew Broderick. They look like twins to me.
     Also they have pretty cool pets.

Summer 2013

    Well I finally did it (notice how I cut the crap about my leave of absence ;). WELL I AM FINALLY DONE WITH JUNIOR YEAR.
     Well it is bitter sweet. With high school getting cooler and cooler each day I attend (and I attended literally each day...literally...even when they said I didn't have too), I found the summer vacation calling to me.
     In the last few months since I talked, I managed to get my licence. That is :D and D:
:D because now my worry of my permit expiring is gone and I can drive if needed. But I D: because I never have actually driven alone and thinking of that is some scary stuff man. The closest is when my dad acts distracted by being on his phone as I drive. That sort of makes it feel like I am driving all by my lone-some and helps ease the transition. Next to driving, I managed to have at least 5 A's (one is a secret ninja of a B, grade that is, because chem is weighted). The six class, history, is probably a non-ninja B because the final was hard man.
     Well now that that school year is done with I have like 9 weeks of nothing to do. I am thinking of getting a job, but anxiety is holding me back. It is a combination of seeing people I know from my school, but I don't know them enough to converse with, worry of not being professional enough, and unable to help out customers. But hey maybe I will be the type that can work through a task even with the stress. Looking back at it, I even impressed my self with how I handled the stress of being part of the small props group with my school's giant ASL show.
    I don't know if I'll even get hired. But next week I am walking over to a near by shopping area and seeing what places need the extra help and see if I am up for that specific challenge.
     Next to probably not getting a job, I am heading to Tao to hang with the cousins in a few weeks so look out for a post about it by the middle of July. Also before I go, I need to go to the Del Mar Fair. I have a free ticket cause I entered a picture of my dog (see the pic in my last blog) and I want to see - *BREAKING NEWS* This just in (thanks to Brenda looking to see how I did) . I got second place for the third year not in a row - It's good that I got got second because this year I am in the High School division and the last two times I was in with Middle School division (because it was 7th and 8th grade; La-tee-daa to why I was in that age group). So competition is tougher this year and I manged to keep my 2nd place record, witch is better than getting the dreaded 3rd place or lower. Well even though I know what I got, I still should go because I got that free ticket. :D
     Also this summer I hope to use up or toss all the crap I don't need. Kind of like a summer cleaning, were I just organize my room. I most definitely won't do it all in one day, but over time I'll consolidate all the piles of paper and school work from the school year and then burn them at the stake...when I get around to it. Cause my life is so busy! (sarcasm)  But all jokes aside, I only do about 70% of that organizing because by 71% you look around and say "WHAT THE FREAK am I doing?!?" and the organizing gets boring. So you shove everything in one box or drawer and go watch YouTube.
       Also, I am super stoked to go to Vidcon for my birthday in August, It will be a blast, but the down side is that summer will be almost over by then.


PLOT TWIST 

I GOT A 4.17 GPA!!!!! 

That's strait A's!

Me in ten minutes-Whats on my mind

   So long time no see...yada-yada...Sorry I am not sorry. I just was lazy. So like the title says, lets see how much I can write in the next 10 minuets.

So I am now only 4 episodes behind on The Walking Dead, nobody spoil stuff for me! I haven't watched Breaking Bad since like Christmas.

I debate about vlogging , as stupid as it sounds (haters going to hate), just to play around with my camera. I might start with a How to cooking video...if you have a better idea? Please speak up.

April is about over and that means an handful of things.
Iron Man 3, Star Trek, and Great Gatsby comes out in the beginning of the month.
I would freaken watch Iron Man 47 if they created that many. I am mostly stoked for Star Trek. While I liked Gatsby the book worrie that Gatsby will be full of baloney (cliches and overly dramatic) 

I managed to pick a photo for the Del Mar Fair. Hopfuly this year I will get a first place, if not I don't mind my hat-trick of 2nd place. I'll post my picture once I see that my teacher has made everything offical and what-not.

anyways.
times up
goodnight.

My Frames.

     So guess what! I got new glasses.

*** cricket cricket...cricket... silence ***

    No really. They are different than my eBay ones.
These actually let me see, they are prescription glasses if you will. They are also transitions and said to be "glare reducing". I can use all the glare reducing I can get. The doc did tell me that I have big pupils, be jealous, and that is why my eyes tear up more than the average eyeballs.
     Before I get ahead of myself, let me tell you what they look like. I watched Argo over the weekend with my friends. It was a good movie, but not entirely an Oscar worthy movie. ME being part of the lost generation, the group of young adults who prefer something to be blown up every now and then in a movie or they will say it is boring and fall asleep, I will say that it would be a smudge-above-par movie, but Wreck-it-Ralph was robbed (even though it wasn't nominated). What I did like was the humor that Allan and John (Lester Siegel and John "Pacha" Chambers) added to the movie, even though the "Argo f**k yourself" was drawn out too much. I also liked the visual aspects. The costume designer and set designer gets the Kayla Seal of Approval because the great use of colors and nice vintage feel. My point I was tiring to make in relations to my glasses was that the people in the movie had glasses too. I noticed that the Cora (Clea DuVall) had ones like me, but I prefer hers over mine. Then through out the movie I noticed something else in the hipster eyewear department.

Clea DuVall  as Cora Lijek
I LOVE HER GLASSES,
SHE REMINDS ME OF  A HIPSTER VELMA
&
SHE IS SO SASSY LOOKING.

....& My glasses can be seen as a girls version of John's.
...
win win either way!
#PachaIsTheBest.

^^^ for kyra only ^^^

Things I am starting to notice:
1) My glasses look weird when they are in their "wanna be sunglasses" phase.
2) I am blinder than I thought.
3) They get dirty easily because they are fingerprint magnets. Also, I feel like Piggy from Lord of the Flies when I clean them.
4) They will never fit right, no matter how long I mess with them.
5) I am starting to believe that I am one of thoes people that look weird without glasses on.
6) I got the Jay-Bird stamp of approval today!
7) I really need to start switching out my different color shades. Yes I love my leopard ones, but I have a freaken rainbow to pick from.
8) One more step to hipster...or a wanna be... or a scientist/professor or a wanna be scientist/professor
