HELLO. I haven't blogged in seriously a LOOOOONG time. Like, last blog was fourth of July. Now it's the...16th (?)
Many things have happened.
1. First Session ended at camp. D: all the people were so awesome, and i'm gonna miss them. Still, i'm glad that we didn't lose TOO MANY people. Beach day was sad and epic. I had a chicken dog. This "no red meat" thing is actually going along swimmingly. Nobody got stung by a sting ray this time! :D hoorah. complete success.
2. Went out with Libbz to the mall and got some HP garb to wear to the MIDNIGHT SHOWING. I got a Gryffindor shirt and she got a Slytherin one. I also got blood pops, which are lollipops--the strawberry variety--that turn your tounge BRIGHT red. It's pretty epic. I also got a Gryffindor crest necklace that I put my keys on. Finally, I got some 3D red and blue sunglasses, which are epic to a whole new degree.
3. Went with Libby, her mom, and her aunt to THE MIDNIGHT SHOWING OF HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE. It was so fun. We were in the middle for the scale of the "People Who Wear Too Much Harry Potter Stuff Just For The Movie" And We just wore shirts. There were some people wearing Hogwarts-like uniforms (I ACTUALLY SAW SOMEONE WHO WAS DRESSED TO BE IN RAVENCLAW WHICH MADE ME REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO DRESS IN STUFF THAT'S NOT A MAIN CHARACTER OR SOMEONE IN GRYFFINDOR OR SLYTHERIN) and then some really crazy fans who wore cloaks and such. There was this one lady who wore an extremely convincing McGonnagal costume. I also brought my awesome wand that Maya carved last year. I'm sure everyone was jealous of it.
4. Second Session started. I. MISS. THE. SNARKY. HUMUS. FLINGING. STONEFISH. OF. PUDDING. This new group doesn't get along as well as we did first session. There are actual cliques and it makes me want to tear my hair out. Like seriously, some of the people in my group are real, for lack of a better word, douchebags.
Well, I saw a movie so y'all know what that means....
MOVIE RATING TIME.
Harry Potter And the Half Blood Prince.
I LOVED it. Despite how confusing it seemed, I stayed on track the whole time and surprisingly, did not get confused at all. There were parts that had you laughing really hard, completely terrified in your seat, and tearing up (well not me tearing up). It's plotline was very exciting and it kept my attention. The effects weren't corny, and the movie kept me on the edge of my seat. I was actually a HUGE fan of the Ron-Lavender-Hermione love triangle. Like in the scenes when Hermione sees them kissing or like PDAing or something, i actually developed a huge like hollow feeling in my gut and i felt SO bad for her. Emma Watson is pretty brilliant. Every actor portrayed their character so well. I'd see it again--in fact, I think I am seeing it again tomorrow.

dcfc ;D
So, today, July 5th 2009, was pretty FREAKING AWESOME.
Well, it started with Libby, her mom, and me drivin' down to the good ol' hollywood bowl for some death cab for cutie rehearsal.
we get there and it says: CLOSED REHEARSAL. D:
we were slightly sad that we weren't allowed to see them and sit in the audience. We automatically assumed that they were snobby. first we tried sneaking around to one of those towery things behind the café but then we chickened out after they played i will posess your heart. we ended up having a pretty swell time goofing off in the lounge and backstage. making coffee and sugar water and tea. cool stuff like that. A few times while walking around, some of the band memebers walked past us, sadly we didn't know their faces well, so it was like "HEY LOOK THAT GUY LOOKS LIKE HE COULD BE IN THE BAND"
Then at the lunch break we got to go on stage. We checked out the cool lights that light up the bowl (ends up its a bunch of LED bulbs screwed onto the back of the pannels. We saw the band from afar. Chris Walla (guitar) had a bright red jacket on. Nick Harmer (bass guitar) had a beard and brown cordaroys and deep purple nikes. Jason McGerr (drums) was wearing glasses, an olive green shirt, and i think a beanie (unsure) along with his glasses.
Then there's this little biddy named Ben.
Ben Gibbard.
Lead singer of death cab Ben.
Libby and I were slightly upset that we weren't meeting any, then suddenly Ben walked past libby. Her mom, while applying chapstick waved him over. HE TALKED TO US AND SHOOK OUR HAND. he was talking about how he wished he had the strings and stuff in the back to begin with because it sounded good. i agreed. he was super nice. He was wearing a white shirt. his armpit was blue haha. paint or über nice.
We were so giddy after that.
The concert's tonight. Opening for DCFC is something and Tegan and the New Pornographaers. one of their songs was on chuck :D
Pretty excited. More on that after.

MJ
Michael Jackson.
Is dead today.
June 25, 2009.
He was 50.
Fifty.
Five-Zero.
Please, a moment of silence as we remember the accomplishments of the King of Pop.
Billie Jean. Smooth Criminal. Beat It. THRILLER.
The Moonwalk.
Over 750 MILLION hits sold.
THIRTEEN GRAMMYS
13 NUMBER ONE singles.
And I can't believe how badly everyone judged him. We don't even know for sure if he did all those things that he was accused of, and even if he did, there are PLENTY more people who have done far worse things and not been punished at all. Apparently, when he was supposed to have an interview a couple years ago, he canceled last minute. The Interviewer went to his hotel, and found MJ on the couch in a fetal position with the blinds closed. How can people stand to judge someone so far that they are afraid of the world. Scared of what will happen if they walk outside.
Now we bow our heads in sorrow as we remember the King of Pop. He will live forever through my, and plenty other fans', headphones

FEERST DEY OV KAHMP
SENIOR OUTPOST IS A STATE OF MIND, NOT A GROUP.
Counselor: STEVE!!! :D He's duper awesome. He's a vegetarian. what an inspiration. He plays like tons of instruments (his day job is playing and teaching some). He's really funny. Glad I got him. AC is Charlee. She's cool, don't know her well. SHE WAS IN PRINCESS DIARIES II AND STILL GETS $ FOR IT. (she knew the director).
Group: All 13 are senior outpost, i'll try to name all of them
We played RUN THE GAUNTLET which is a game involving foam dodgeballs and cones. Two teams, one throwing team, one running team. The cones are put in two lines to form a about 7 foot wide column. The runners run through the column of cones while the throwers pelt the dodgeballs at them. Obviously, the goal is to not get hit, but there's a catch. Even if it bounces or rolls, and hits you, you're still out. If you touch the ball, you're out. Epic. Fun.
We found a fort. Its...THAT way. -points in all directions-
Bus route Mon Wed Fri is pretty okay. consists of:
TOMORROW'S WINDSURFING. EPIC. EXCITED. YES.
It's so weird seeing former group y'rs being JC's and like pool staff. And Gary, an SC. crazy pants.

TOM SAWYER DAY CAMP.
begins: tomorrow at 8.
driver: Brian (i think he's a newbie to TSC)
Seems like a lot of the older counselors have left to begin their lives, meaning tons of new counselors this year. I really hope i get Steve--one of the guys who have been their for like EVER. He plays like a ton of instruments and he's really cool.
movie rating: Food Inc.
This is one eye opener. It's motto: "You'll look at dinner the same way again." This movie told the story about how industry is making food, bigger, faster, and cheaper, which is killing us (the buyers) slowly. It showed secret cameras placed behind the scenes at meat slaughter houses. It told the story about how most of all the foods we eat are just re-assembled versions of corn, and how even the meat we eat eats corn (cows and stuff aren't supposed to eat corn--they are supposed to eat grass, and corn helps spread horrible diseases like E-ColIi)
HUGE EYE OPENER.
The film lived up to it's motto, i will never look at food the same way. I am actually considering becoming a veg head :D
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT, FROM YOUR HEAD TO YOUR FEET.
watch this movie. be shown the life behind the curtain hiding the horrible things being done in the food industry.

Get Back
Demi Lovato.
The cheesy (and by cheesy i mean smiles a lot. heh, remember the indian in dances with wolves named smiles a lot?) Disney teen pop sensation. She's an actor and singer. And most people I know don't really like her. Those people are so biased.
They are like "OH YEAH SHE'S THE UGLIEST ONE AND SHOWS TOO MANY TEETH WHILE SMILING AND OH GOD SHE'S SO ANNYONG UGHHH."
Lemme tell you something.
Demi Lovato is pretty much the ONE disney star i actually admire.
She sticks to her morals, has great talent as a music artist, as well as a singer, and most of all HASN'T BECOME COMPLETELY CORRUPTED AND SELF ABSORBED BY THE STARDOM. I mean seriously, i couldn't even compare her to Miley Cyrus, who is so vain and careless.
Also, Miley even made fun of Demi and Selena (selena is pretty okay too) in one of her web shows. Seriosuly, that tells you how nice Miley and her like 30 year old "best friend" are. Anyways Miley didn't even mention "Mandy (if that is your real name)" in that song See You Again when she's like "My BEST FRIEND LESLIE says she's just bein' Miley"
Also, Miley's music, EXCEPT FOR THE CLIMB WHICH I'M PRETTY SURE SHE TOTALLY DIDN'T WRITE (like she has the brain power to), is all like crap stuff that once again, she didn't write. "Everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days." God she's stupid.
But Demi's music is actually really good. I know i'm going to have a bunch of people laugh in my face and say something like "HAHA YOU LIKE DEMI LOVATO'S MUSIC HOW LAME" but really, try listening to it. It ranges from sad hearfelt songs (with actual depth unlike miley's crap) all the way to loud "disney punk rock" music about how she doesn't want to turn into a star, and how she's still a normal person (who wears her converse with her dress. heh, great line)
I hope this little blog changed your mind about this star. If not, listen to her music. I GUAREANTEE that you will think it's better than Miley's "music." Hearing her music changed my mind, hope it changes yours.

SUMMER (sucks)
Summer. Fun in the sun. No school. Always with the friends. Running on the beach. Vacations to tropical islands. Yup, living the good life.
Not for someone named Liana Kindler.
Summer, so far, for her is like this. Wake up at 1-ish in the afternoon. Lay around until about 1:30. Get up and have some breakfa---lunch. Slack off (surf the web, watch tv, etc) until about 11. Begin F-R-E-N-D-S marathon. Go to bed around 3:30 AM. Repeat.
Let's face the sad truth.
Summer Blows.
Seriously. I haven't seen anyone other than Libby (WHICH WAS REALLY FUN BOTH TIMES.) or the fam bam since grad night. How pathetic. Well I'm duper excited for FNL tomorrow, even though it'll probably just be me, Libby, Kirstie, Umi, and Lauren. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers. :P Just kidding, you guys are frigging sweet.
CAMPCAMPCAMPCAMPCAMPCAMPCAMPCAMP!
Camp starts this coming Monday! Whoo hoo! I guess I get to be a smidge more social than I am already (haha, me. social.) Pretty excited to see everyone again, its been like a year. Don't know who i'm gonna get as a counsler (hopefully Steve or Christina). Nervous but excited (LIKE AT GRAD)
Saturday (yes I do know that this is totally not in order at all) I got a trumpet sectional meeting for marching band. Yes, that's right bring on the feather bucket hats and the uniforms! Well not really, but we're going over some basics and the music at the section leader's house. I feel kind of bad for putting everone through this huge hassle. But, sometimes camp gets in the way of important stuff (like band camp). I am actually sort of sad to miss band camp. Gosh I'm a nerd.
Oh jeez i just realized something.
I'm a freshman.
Oh man.
Freshman.
High School.
New Meat.
Fresh Start?
Oh Lord, save me now.
