Happy NEW YEARS!

I'm going to a dance. So, I probably won't be home for the countdown. It depends on how good the dance is. So, here you go!

Ten, Nine Eight... Woohoo! it's almost the new years!

Seven, Six, Five.... Someone hug me!

Four, Three Two... OMG OMG! I'm almost a second older than before!

ONE!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

This is for you Dawn

So I think this band might be my favorite Wizard Rock Band, I got one of their CDs for Christmas, I love their style.

The Mudbloods: A Pensieve Full Of Unrequited Love

Merry Christmas! This is my favorite Wizard Rcok Christmas song!

This is me experimenting with a makeup kit thing I got for Christmas, I thought it was funny!

New Years,

Yes, tomorrow is New Years, I made some resolutions. If I can get the video to upload you can see what they are, because I've said them over and over again today trying to get them to work.Well, We'll see. OK.

I'm going crazy!

I can't get this video to work on YOUTUBE. This is like the ninth time I've done it, I'll try making one tonight, in case it's just a day time thing, this is really upsetting, I've yelled myself hoarse to yelling at the screen, OK. I'm done

LAte and Home

It's about eleven pm. We just got home, I'm exhausted, this was such a long day. I love staying with my Aunt Judy, I think that Lemington is the best place on earth. I've said it before, if there's one place I would want to move to away from Las Vegas and Bonanza high school, it would be Lemington Utah. I love that place. Covered in snow, gorgeous. I was sad to leave. My mom showed Aunt Judy, Mark, and Lance my blog, YouTube page, The AM show, and Wrock. (Oh yeah, I got a bunch of Wizard rock CDs for Christmas, I don't remember if I've already written about that or not, and it's too late to go check) So, yeah, I love Lemington.
My mom saw all her brothers and sisters this weekend, it was a good birthday for her, we got to see Music and the Spoken Word, and then we went to see aunt Janey on the way to Aunt Judy's. We visited with Janey for a good hour and a half at least. Then we went up to Lemington. Hannah had a basketball practice this morning (Hannah's my cousin.) But we hung out with Mark and Lance. Mark is going to HongKong on his mission in April, we found that out, mom and dad went Friday to see him go though the temple so he could see Blake and Annie's wedding. I didn't see them at all, or Jeff and Mary, or Katie and Andrew! But mom and dad saw them and that was good. My mom tried to let Lance into the world of Wizard Rock, I don't know if he liked it all that much, he seemed, i don't know, kind of interested, but he also seemed like he wanted to go play with the DS. How funny, well, I know Wrock isn't for everyone, so, Lance I forgive you. Oh yeah, Aunt Judy and family, if you're checking out my blog, Hello! Well my dad's kicking me off so I'll make this quick.
We went down to grandpa and grandma's on the way back, then went over to Aunt Joni's to see Jay Lynn and Joni and Jared. Then We went to Uncle Dave's and visited with them for a bit. My mom saw all her family, and I think she loved her birthday, other than the fact that she had to get another year older!

Quickly!

Quick post! OK, I'M IN Salt Lake, just came back from MUSIC in the Spoken Word, it was awesome. Today's Mom's birthday, she had a good time there. We have to go to Aunt Judy's now, I love going to Aunt Judy's I think it's my favorite place on earth, except perhaps Hogwarts. Oh I love Harry Potter! OK, EVERY ONE'S pressing me to go, darn, I keep PRESSING the caps lock on accident. No time TO fix it. Bye EVERYBODY!

Tired, need sleep

Yes, I am at a hotel in Utah, Lehi to be truthful. And last night, I went to sleep at midnight and awoke at 9:15 and I am still tired! I also got like three hours of sleep on the eight hour car ride up here! Then after breakfast I went back to the room and slept for anther two hours, I think somethings wrong with me, because I am still tired! Maybe I overslept, that happens you know, when you sleep too much you get more tired than you were before. Well, we're heading out in like ten minutes, I'm posting this from the hotel lounge, there's a computer here. Yep, so I have to go pack up really fast because checkout is in like ten minutes. We're off to Salt Lake for lunch and tonight we're going to see temple square with all the gorgeous lights there. OK, bye... SO tired!

Leaving

It's really late and we're leaving really early. I just wanted to tell Maren, since I'm not going to see you for another couple days. You rock, have a good week. I'll miss you, hopefully we can start to talk on scype starting when I get back. OK, I added another Merry Christmas video, I don't know if you saw it, this ones longer than the last, I still don't know if my mouth is even with the picture, you know, the words and such, OK. Bye Maren. Have fun. :D

Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone, I know it's not technically Christmas yet. But since tomorrow is Christmas I probably won't be blogging, oh, and also, I'm going out of town until the 29Th I think. So, be prepared for a storm of blogging upon my return. Have a good Christmas everyone, and enjoy your time without me, it's the only peace you'll get until next year! : D
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Day Before Christmas

Yep. it's the day before Christmas. And now I'm about to go out with my Madre again. I don't know what it is, but I'm not really ready for it to be Christmas yet. I love Christmas, but this year, I guess I'm just, not in the mood. Maybe I will be in like a week or so. Darn! I wish I was though, I love Christmas, absolutely LOVE it. And this year, I'm jut not in my groove. Oh well, I've got to tidy up the house before my motha gets here. Bye!

Same background as before, it keeps malfuntioning. Sorry

I made my layout with the Myspace Background Maker. Get myspace layouts, graphics, and flash toys at pYzam.

KNIFE!

My dad is showing me his crazy knife. It's scary! Also, I just finished watching Mulan. It's officially my favorite Disney movie! Me and my dad were rocking out to the tunes. I love that movie. I want to watch it with Maren. I love Mushu, he's the best. So funny, and there's this girl on TV and she has really fat cheeks. That's kind of rude, but I was like staring at them for like five seconds strait and not taking anything else in! Crazy, I know. Wizards of Waverly Place is a funny show, I like this one too. I like Disney Channel. "Together, We'll send you losers home!" So funny. OK, well, I'm gonna go!

Maren Poem

So, I wrote this poem yesterday in sacrament. Part of the reason my mom was so angry in church yesterday. Here it goes, I told Maren I would write it to make up for Gift of Lights...

Apologetic Poem:

M- agnificent
A- mazing
R- apid
E- nergetic
N-oodly?

Intro:
She has brown hair
The color of warmth
Her eye brows are curved perfectly
like the handle bars of a bicycle

Rap: (OK, so this part of the poem is a rap, so start a beat and read it to that)

She's really tall
Like a big oak tree
And her personality
Is totally free

She can lay down a beat
Like a Brotha on the street
Her dance moves are totally *jeak
I wish I could buy em fo cheap
But I can't. ooh, yeah
Cuz she more g 'ster than me!

Oooo yeah!

*Jeak- Rockin (But that doesn't rhyme in the poem)

Also, my dad wanted me to put this in- Roberto is cool

Responce to Maren's blog

I'm not telling you her blog, so don't ask, but this it's a lot easier to write a post than it is to write a super duper comment on all of her posts. SO here we go...
Maren, I miss you. This week sucked, I was supposed to hang with you on a number of different occasions. But they all didn't turn out, that was sucky, and I don't know if we'll be able to hang this week because of your brother (NO offence Greg) Plus I'm going out of town the 26Th I think. Until maybe after new years. Augh! I want to go the New Years Eve dance though. You probably don't want to, you don't like the dances, but I think they're fun, once you get past the, "Oh, the only person who asked me to dance was TyBr" (Code name for a friend of both of us.)

Cool survey, I like how you mentioned me like three times, I do rock don't I? ;D Also, the pictures were sweet.

Fiveawesomeguys, where to start with that. I am a tad disappointed with the fact that you didn't really enjoy it, I thought you would. So, their project; they do this thing where each of them takes a day, and they make a video on that day, Monday through Friday. And it's pretty much them talking to each other, and you know, communicating through that way. Because they live in different parts of the world. And you might not like this idea, but I actually thought that when I get a decent Web cam, we might be able to do that, since we never see each other. I mean, only if you want to. We wouldn't be doing it for subscribers or anything, just to talk to each other. I think it would help us, be ourselves or something. You know, just to like hang when we can't hang. Like this week. OK, think about it, bye!

Cold

The House is cold
I write in bold
It seems Winter break has finally come
Maybe I'll go chew some gum

Presents galore
But mom locked her door
So not even my wandering eyes can see
This might be the first year in history... Just Kidding

The house is cold
I am cold
I can not write anymore
my fingers are freezing to the board

I think I'll go turn on the heater

Eagle Projects

Yesterday I went at like nine am, and painted the Bonanza auxiliary gym. It was a lot of work. But after that we had to go to a different eagle project and help collect electronics for the blind center. I felt good after helping though. We also went and made cookie with my grandma like we do every year, we make sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies, toll house, and keeflies (Not how you spell it, but I don't know how to, pronounced key- fleas) They're this Hungarian cookie, and they are amazing. However , grandma had already made them, so we didn't get to help with those this year, we did eat them though, especially my dad when he came by. I was supposed to go to Maren's ward Christmas party, but my parents came back to take me from grandmas house to there nearly an hour late, and it would have taken twenty minutes to get the the chapel, and I was really disappointed that I didn't get to go, it was going to be the highlight of my evening. But I didn't get to go, so then I was upset. OK, I've got to go, mom and Jackie are getting upset because I'm still mad about not going last night.

Movie Canceled For Me

Yeah, so this movie I was supposed to go see, not happening. Neither my mom nor dad is home to take me. And seeing as the movie starts in two minutes, it just doesn't seem to be on my actual agenda for this evening. But that's OK, there's still gift of lights. I am bummed that I didn't get to hang out with my friends though. I wish Maren could have gone. Then I would have made sure I was there and protested, but seeing as I can't doing anything about it, I doesn't really matter. So, I'm home, not at the movies, and yep, it's officially started, no use going now. Oh well. Sucks for me, and all my friends, they were bringing my Christmas presents to the movie since they all left them at home, OK, not all. Michelle and Aileen did, but it doesn't matter, because Christmas isn't about gifts (although that does not mean that I do not want those presents, I very much still do!) Christmas is about celebrating Jesus birth.
On that subject, this girl Luisa sits behind me in World History. And she's Catholic, but she doesn't often go to church. But I think just about everyone in the world knows that Christmas is the celebration of the birth of baby Jesus. However, Luisa was drawing a really dumb blank, and me and this Christian girl Jennifer filled her in. The talk kind or went something like this.
"What religion are You" Luisa.
"Mormon," A. "Christian," J
"Do you celebrate Christmas" L
"Of coarse!" A + J. "We're the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, of course we celebrate Christmas!" A
"What does that have anything to do with celebrating Christmas?'" L
"Wait are you serious?" J
"Luisa there is something wrong with you, how do you not know about Jesus being born when you're Catholic?" A
"Wait? That's why we celebrate Christmas?"
OK, I'm going to end that conversation there, because Luisa is totally crazy, and that conversation went on for another ten minutes about the birth of Christ and the nativity and her realizing she is totally ignorant to what goes on around her, she knew what it was, she just for some reason never connected one thing to another, and didn't see that Christmas is celebrated BECAUSE of the birth of Jesus, she just thought that was a big church thing. And had no idea what exactly Christmas was, she didn't know, for 16 years on this earth she didn't know what Christmas was about. Good luck missionaries.

Tonight

I'm going to the movies. We're going to see "Yes Man" Just a bunch of Friends, to celebrate being out of school for two beautiful weeks. Then I'm going to Gift of Lights like I do every year with the Bames. It's what we do, it's a tradition. It's really fun, and we got a truck this year, we've had to go in my mom's car before, it's not as fun. Gist of lights is this park with all these Christmas lights everywhere, and you drive through it and it is so fun. We sit in the back of this truck, and drink hot chocolate and sing the twelve days of Christmas it rocks. OK, so maybe it doesn't sound so great, but I assure you, it is one of my favorite Christmas traditions. :)

Also Check out this song, I think it's my new favorite, it's kind of Techno-ey. But it's really cool, so here you go.

Somewhere over the Rainbow, This song always makes me cry, but I love it.

YOUTUBE

So, today I realized something. Without YOUTUBE, my life would be a lot more boring. I mean, not that others will think that the crazy shows that Maren and I make are exactly the height of cool. But I found today that YOUTUBE helps me express myself. Along with my blog, YouTube lets me show others who I am. Granted, all I have on my personal channel is Wizard Rock videos, but who cares, it like it, because I like Harry Potter. I also enjoy watching other people's videos. I really like watching the fiveawesomeguys. I watch their personal channels, too. I think they're funny people. It's a pity I came it at like the very end of their project, I wish they could do it again next year, that would rock. Actually, I just realized that most of you, probably all of you don't know who the fiveawesomeguys are. They are a product of the fiveawesomegirls. I personally think the guys are funnier, but whatever. There are five of them, and each of them take a day of the week. And it's like a way they talk with each other. But they have like 100,000 subscribers. They're really funny. You don't have to check them out, I just think they're funny.

Survey, feel free to make one yourself

OK, so I tryd to make this already, and it like erased my whole thing, this sucks, here I go again. I got this from Johnny Durham's blog. He's one of the fiveawesomeguys, and one of my five subscriptions on YOUTUBE. You can make one too. They really help you understand yourself more.

Almost Snow

I had a discussion with Aria about snow. I think that it's still rain, and not yet snow, and she was so convinced that it WAS snow that she made the discussion an argument, and I won, because I always do! JK, I'm eating my pasta from last night, we always go to apple bees after one of our concerts with my grandma, I don't know where we'll go tonight, since Jackie has a concert, and we just went to apple bees yesterday. Yeah, the concert wasn't that great, my flute was out of tune the whole time. Upsetting. OK, well, I'm going to work on my next video for YOUTUBE.

Lighting the fire,
Alex

Band Concert

Yeah the band concert is tonight, I'm not really excited, but, you know, its a concert. Yeah, so sister Handy made me so mad yesterday at the concert. So, I sit in the VERY BACK of the ensemble, like the BACK back. Ask Maren she'll tell you. And I on;y play six of the thirteen songs. So on the concert on Sunday I read my Harry Potter book. Yeah, yesterday sister Handy was like, "There were rumors someone was reading a novel yesterday. Whoever did this is the spawn of the devil and should be punished and repent." But NOBODY in the audience saw me. The percussion guy ratted me out! Jerk. And when I stood up because they were taking pictures, and because I sit in the back they couldn't see me I had to stand up, she said "Your necklace is to blingy for this concert, no offence." Then she gave me the glare of death. I was so depressed for the whole concert, and angry at her. She didn't even direct the orchestra. It was choir plus some instruments that were off beat because they couldn't see the conducting! Well, I'm sorry, she upset me. And if any of you want to come to my concert tonight it's in the Carrol Loman theatre at seven tonight. OK, bye.

Concert

So, I had a concert for Mormon Youth Symphony. It's late. I'm tired, we were bad. I read three chapters of my harry Potter book though during the concert when I wasn't playing. OK, So, I have a Bonanza Band Concert on Tuesday. You are all invited. I have some solos. And you'll see me because I'm in the front. Like, there's a concert tomorrow for MYS, but it'll be as bad as today, and you won't even see me, what's the point, seriously. I got a really cool pair of converse yesterday, but I can't wear them till Christmas, they rock. OK, I'm going to bed. Bye everybody!

I DID IT!

So, my background has been messing with me. And I couldn't get what I wanted. I finally got this, I don't know if I like it, but the picture is really cool. Wizards surfing with their broomsticks. Yeah, I went with my mom and dad to look for the YWS Christmas presents at the outlet mall. We didn't find them, but we did go to the converse store. And I found some really great cons. But I can't wear them until Christmas. They Rock! OK. Well I've got to get ready for when Maren comes over.

Surf the Wizarding Way

I made my layout with the Myspace Background Maker. Get myspace layouts, graphics, and flash toys at pYzam.

Home

I'm home now. I did great on my French poem. I finally memorized it. So, I guess somebody has been going around and stealing people things out of their bags. There were like five people in band who had phones, cameras, game players, etc. stolen. Uncool, someones a real jerk. Well, I have band tonight, and I again am not feeling to well. So bye everyone.

Wrock out against Voldemidia: Never Do What You're Told

Seminary

OH MY GOSH!! It's a miracle. My dad is coming to the scripture mastery morning side thing today! I though for sure he'd sleep in past it, but I woke him at five and he only said ONE complaining thing! He's getting ready now. I have an absence and three tardies, which makes no seance since I'm ALWAYS one of the first people in my class. But, oh well. When I bring in my dad it'll make up an absence or my three tardies. Well, I'm working on another Wizard Rock video, this one is going to be good, I found how to get one of my favorite Harry Potter Rock songs for free, so now I'm making my "Video" for it. Got to go, bye!

Orchestra Concert

So, I went to the orchestra concert. It was OK. The first orchestra was out of tune. But Aaron's orchestra was good though. He had a really good solo. He was upset about the dancers stealing his song. But I didn't even pay attention to their dance, NO OFFENCE. But I listened to all of his solo, good job. Aaron. OK, I'm going to watch The Office in a bit, and then go to bed. Hopefully dad will be able to go to the seminary tomorrow for scripture Mastery day! Bye!

Hello, and Welcom to my BLOG!

You are all sitting in your seats impressed by what you see, I know. This blog rocks. And with a little help from me, you too can be a great blogger. Now, I'm not saying you all will have my prowess on the keyboard, it's like pies. Everyone can make them, but only those with real talent have the best ones. Some of you will have the gift and some won't. But you are lucky, you get to learn from the best... me! Just Kidding, but seriously, if you want to learn how to do it, you know who to come to. Here are some reasons to blog

EXAMPLE 1: To express yourself

EXAMPLE 2: Relieves stress

EXAMPLE 3: Communicate with people otherwise incommunicable with


Examples for posts

EXAMPLE 1: OMG! I got this new puppy and he is soooo cute!

EXAMPLE 2: I really like noodles

EXAMPLE 3: Fill it with awesome church related subjects

EXAMPLE 4: Videos

Thank you, for attending the Alex Lupton school of blogging, speak to me later if you want to learn more.


*If you didn't go to mutual with my ward today you won't understand what this is for, sorry to you!

The tree is so pretty.

It was my tree, I decorated it. It is the best tree in the whole entire world. The whole front is decorated with all my amazing Harry Potter ornaments. And that adds up to like thirty ornaments. I love Harry Potter. We have a small little miniature village under the Christmas tree. I christened it Hogsmeade, and there is even a Hogwarts, from my own personal collection. OK, it's almost ten. Got to go to bed. Night everybody!

Back from Softball

i am tired. Very tired, I'm so tired I think I'll die, and I wouldn't even care. WE ran so much, and then I walked home. I am so tired.... we're putting up the Christmas tree tonight for family home evening. I'm soooo tired!Do you feel the pain through my writing? Because the tiredness is making me pain so much. Aaaaahhhh, I'm throbbing in my tired feet. I hate this! Just the throbbing, softball is awesome. OK, I'm off, to die....
PS, if you couldn't tell, I'm tired.
PSS. I love you...

Prayer in a post

OK, don't bet offended by this anyone, if you are, sorry. It's kind of a hard thing to explain, but I was thinking about it this morning after I woke up, which means it probably came to me when I was sleeping. OK, I think that a post... is like a prayer, in a way. I mean, there are people who write their posts like, "This summer we went to London, here are pictures of that trip. " But I think that my posts are more of that prayer without the "dear Heaven;y Father" or "Amen." I pour my heart out here sometimes, just like one would do in a prayer. They teach you that in a prayer, you should Talk to god. Tell him what you did in the day, even though he already knows. And doesn't he know about my blog, too. Doesn't he know everything about me, about us? So, it's more like a public prayer, which is not always bad. Like when you bless the food on your table. It's a prayer you can all come to look at, and maybe get ideas for a prayer to god that helps you. You say what you want on your own blog. And here, you read my blog and think, "Maybe I'll leave a comment to that well-written piece of work." (That's what I think you do anyways) So, as I say, this and all my other posts are a prayer. You don't have to think of the that way, really you don't, but I do, so, there you go. Do with this as you will...

Yeah, I'm home from Tithing Settlement

So, tithing settlement was really boring. And now, I'm a full tithing payer. I'm going to be doing this blog thing for mutual on Tuesday. So, on Tuesday it's going to be all like "Here's my blog" post at the top, if you get there you can leave comments before mutual, then I can show people who to comment and what the results are. OK, see you tomorrow everybody! Sister Sewell I saw your husband today but not you? Were you there and I was just not perceptive enough, or did you ditch out, let me know! Bye.

Good Job Zack

Yeah, Zack, and Anne? made honor band, you guys played really good, great job. I'm not going to say I'm not jealous, because I am. I practiced really hard and then got into the audition and flunked. I knew I wouldn't make it, I just didn't want to look like an idiot, and unfortunately that happened. But you guys did awesome and that's all that counts. Good job, wish I could have made it, but at least you guys did. Good job, luck to you with the music. :)

Stupid Audition

The audition was so bad, I got there like two hours early. And I practiced and I didn't know like anyone there until Jordan showed up, then he went to audition and I was alone for like an hour until Mike came, then Anne, Eric, and finally Jose. Well, some of the flute players told me what the scales were. When I walked into the school I didn't feel very nervous. Then I heard the other flute players, as I've said to others already, I wasn't scared, I just didn't want to look like an idiot, and I did. I went in and they told me to play and A major scale, like I knew they would, and I had practiced it. I could do it in the warm up room, but when I got in there it was so bad, I spent like, no joke, two whole minutes to do when scale. I couldn't get to the top of the second octave, once I'd got there I asked the guy if I had to go back down because it was so bad. He made me go down, that was so embarrassing. Then I did the G flat scale, not as bad, but still sucky. I played my Etudes, they were OK, not great though, and I practiced them for like two months! The I had to sight read, and that wasn't great, as Zack said, it was pretty easy, well it should have been, but it was like my fingers weren't working with my brain and I kept messing up and stopping, so dumb, OK bye!

MYS and Honor Band

I'll be going to Mormon Youth Symphony in like ten minutes. And at like two fifteen I need to be at Clark so I can do my Honor Band audition, I don't expect to make it, it's really the experience of auditioning that I'm doing it for. I mean, making it would be AWESOME, but there are a lot of flute players who tr y out. And I'm not nearly the Best, but the audition is really important to prepare you for others you might have, so excited. Yes! Nervous Yes! Prepared A little bit!

MMMMMMHMMM

Yeah, no softball today. So I brought all my stuff to school for nothing! I started my diet today, I had tuna for lunch, it was actually good. Interesting huh, But it got everywhere and the lady came up and was like, "Clean that up, because I'm not doing it" So I did it, the end.
I'm cleaning my living room, then I'm going to exercise, I'm babysitting tonight for the Jensen's, so sorry Bay, I wanted to hang out, but maybe not, how about tomorrow night?

Beeedle

OK, so, we got the Tales of Beedle the Bard today. For those of you who don't know (and if you're my friend you should know, JK) Beedle was like Fairy Tales and Mother Goose type stuff for Wizards. Which means this book was written by JK Rowling, and I've read the first Fairy Wizard Tale and it's a pretty good book, I like it, and think it rocks.

On a More suckish note, I went to the doctor and he said I was twenty three pounds overweight. Which means tomorrow I'm going on a diet, and Anne said she'd do it with me. She's awesome, I'm not holding her to it, but, I really appreciate it! Anne you rock, I suck, such a pig. Going to be running my butt off at softball tomorrow.
Night
THE PIG

I did it!

That's right, I changed my background! I know, awesome right! So proud of myself. OK, so the same picture that's behind this same post is on the sidebar, it's (like I said) by my favorite Harry Potter artist, his name is like Hisho or something, I got them off of Leakyfanart.com. Yeah, so, I'm off to my appointment, bye!

New Harry Potter Template

I made my layout with the Myspace Background Maker. Get myspace layouts, graphics, and flash toys at pYzam.

Growl....

So, no softball today because I have a doctors appointment, HURRAY! And Maren, you need to tell me about Saturday, hey maybe tomorrow we could hang out and watch Elf, it's every ones favorite Christmas movie! So, today was kind of awkward at some points, and I won't say much more, but maybe there are some secrets that some people should keep in... even if the person who the secret is relating to already knows. I've learned that through experiences, and yesterday just seemed like another great reason why. Don't tell those kinds of secrets. But most of you don't even know what I'm talking about, so lets move on, I think I'll put on this song from bass hunter, the real music video is kind of nasty, I had to stop watching it like ten seconds in, it's a cute song, and has a wicked beat. It's called: "All I ever Wanted" It's by Bass hunter. It's on at the end of the daily show at school, and I had to look it up, cute huh?

OK, Bye everybody!

Fast and to the point

OK, I don't want my cereal to get soggy so this is fast. Logan, I'm really sorry, and you know exactly what for, so I'm not repeating it here so everyone can read, I've already written a formal apology on your blog in a comment, so... sorry again. Maren, what are you doing between MYS and honor band, probably practicing, well, what are you doing after honor band? We need to hang out, I'm going insane! Dawn, that was really awesome how you came over the other day, thank you for letting me borrow your Harry Potter 2, I somehow lost mine and really appreciate it. Ashley, you are awesome, and I really like your hair, if I could pull it off I would have done it, but I can't so I got this cut instead, Which you still haven't seen, Sister Sewell, when exactly are you guys moving, we were talking about it at dinner and my dad couldn't remember if it was April or August. OK Bye, cereal time!

YEAH!

I only had weight lifting for like thirty minutes instead of the like two hours the other girls had, then I just went out and hit in the cages. Nelson says I am way better than last year! Then I walked home, and I'm here blogging like and hour before I was yesterday! OK, well, I just put in season 2 of psych. So I'm going to go watch it. Maren, sorry about not finding you this morning, I put my stuff in the band room and the bell rang so I just went to class, I saw you peak in though, you're a great friend, so awesome, and I tried to find you at lunch. Tyler said you were in the library. You were, I had to pick something up from the deans for Baker so I walked by you twice, but you were with a guy who needed your assistance. So, I let you work your magic. I miss you Bay.

Alex Lupton

Band, and also, THE DIMICKS

Yeah, so last night after softball I just went to band and hung out for like an hour, it was boring, and I smelled really bad, as Maren knows. Band was really long, I don't usually mind band, but the songs Mr. Baker chose, well they're kind of difficult I guess, but they're really boring, my part is at least, and I like to play to my full capability, which is why I'm trying out for honor band. even though it's pretty much impossible for me to make it. Too many flute players, to much college band level music! So, after band I went to the food store, and we got food, sports drinks too, which I'll be using for softball. The Dimicks came over and slept at our house, because Beegs and bone crusher (Their parents) went out of town to Beegs's work party. So Dawn and Connor stayed over, Connor is so crazy in the morning, he's like bouncing off the walls and acting totally insane, wouldn't even listen when I told him to calm down! Just kidding, he woke up, got dressed and went back to sleep on the couch, what a dork! Just kidding, Okay I'm going to eat cereal now, bye everyone!

I am four diffrent kinds of awesome!

The first of the four different super kinds of awesome I am is the awesome formally known as Lagex, that's the awesome that lurks way down deep and is like, childish awesome! Then of course the second AMAZING form of awesome is Jayd, I think that's the, "Oh, I'm going off to the super cool dinner party in my pretty shiny dress" Now that awesome is like, whoa, she is so awesome. That doesn't happen very ofter, but if you're looking really close when there's a wedding or a really important church event!
The third kind of Awesome that I am is Sleek, which is the awesome that I let loose when I am alone, watching TV, reading books, and blogging, that like this post is the awesome that nobody really cares about because it is so lame, but to me, that is awesome! And lastly this kind of awesome is what I like to call polish. It's what everyone else sees, I let everything stay inside of me, and I don't let others truly see me. So there you go, I am a mix of four different kinds of awesome that make up the whole of what so many seem to call, Alex Lupton!

Ok, This song is to Luna Lovegood. I really like the lyrics, and I can totally connect, don't diss on Luna!

Also called, "Tribute to Luna, I do believe in Nargals."

I am DEAD!

So, softball. Ugh! I'm so exhausted. We ran... a lot! I did really good in throwing and batting! Nelson said that I improved sooo much from last year, and I haven't practiced this whole time! I don't think I stretched my calves enough, i almost pulled a muscle a couple times, I just barely stopped in time, I could feel the cramping going on and averted that energy somewhere else! Also, Taylor Prescott took me home, she and her mom are so nice, Taylor's on my inactive list for church, but I'm not going to try anything for a while. It was really cool though. I had started walking home, and they pulled up and were like "Want a ride?" and I was like "Yes Please!" Then she exactly where we lived, I think she was my moms visiting teacher a while back. Taylor's really good at softball. I like her hair, it's curly and awesome! Yeah, so really tired, and I smell, OK bye!

Church was interesting

Yeah, fifth Sundays are always really boring, and it was. We didn't even get to help really with the primary like we usually do! Retarded yes? YES! But the lesson that Brother McKay taught was interesting, a little graphic about his days as a cop! It was as I said interesting.
So, yes, I got a haircut, and I really like it, I think it's awesome, and you'll all see it tomorrow, if you're lucky!
Softball starts tomorrow, way fun! NOT! I mean, I love softball, but it's not what I would say fun, not in the intermurals anyway, too much work for a person who only exercises during marching band! :D Well, I'm off, it's nine thirty and school starts at four thirty for me! Night everyone!

Church Today

Well, there's church today. I have a meeting at eleven., I haven't had a presidency meeting in like three months! So, I'm actually kind of excited for this. I got my presidency like two weeks ago, but I didn't go to church last Sunday so this week we are having one, which is great, because we have NOTHING planned at all! It's like ten o'clock. I'll have to go start getting ready soon, in like twenty minutes, OK, bye everyone!

Ok, I'm going to have a Harry Potter Post here.. again.

So, I think my favorite characters are Fred, George, Ron, Neville, and Luna. I think I can really connect with the, all a lot. I mean, I'm not that funny of a person so when I say Fred and George, I think that with them, I just really like them as characters, I cry every time I read where Fred dies, he was my favorite of the twins:( I really like Ron, he's just that form of sarcastic I see in myself. Harry's always kind of dramatic, which is fair since there are so many dramatic things happening, and Hermione's the smart one who figures things out, but Ron's just that guy who makes the situation cool and kind of relaxed at times, and lets face it a bit awkward, which is very me! He's just... Cool. As they say in book four to describe Bill, who I don't find nearly as cool as Ron by the way! The there's Neville, Neville is sort of a retard in the beginning of the series, he forgets everything, he's not that good at magic, and he's kind of a wimp. But at the end he's like super brave, he kills a Horcrux he helps Harry with his mission, and is just a super cool guy! And I want to be that, someone who turns out opposite of everyone thinks they will. Now Luna, she is cool, I mean, nobody thinks she is, but really she IS! I relate to her a lot. So, let's just say that some people are retarded and think Harry Potter isn't cool. Well, being a person who rather LOVES Harry Potter, I find it a bit hard to NOT be weird when it comes to Harry potter, I was, and still am a little a little weird. It seems Harry Potter makes people think that you're even more uncool than you really are! But HARRY POTTER IS COOL, I SWEAR! So, everyone, will you just stop saying he's not, because he is! Which makes me weird, like Luna. So Those are my number one favorite Characters, and that doesn't include Harry Potter, because HP is already any one's favorite character, or else they didn't read the books at all!

HAIRCUT!!

Everyone, I have gotten a haircut. And I really like it! My bangs are way shorter. I don't know if any of you remember my hair cut from this summer, it looks like that, only better. So, yeah, awesome haircut. My head feel lighter! Well Got to go! BYE!

Black Friday

It's 6 am. And we're about to leave for shopping. Not a long post. Just a heads up, I'll be gone!

Turkey Day!

Happy thanksgiving! The food is almost done, but we won't be eating until two! Harry Potter and the Sorcerers stone has just begun! The Day of awesome has started! Happy thanksgiving! Bye, I'm off to watch my one true hearts desire! Mirror of Erised here I come!

Thanksgiving And My discussion of books!

Yep, Tomorrow is thanksgiving. Exciting. We just cleaned the upstairs, and my dad and I hung around listening to Wizard Rock for about 45 minutes! It's so cool. I love it. Yep, none of ma Famille is feeling very good, so, we're staying here, and if all my plans are in order, I shall be watching Harry Potter all day.
Guess what! Starting on Friday I can officially start singing Christmas songs and not be looked at like I'm an idiot! So exciting, I love Christmas time. It's the best time of the year!

I vote that November is Harry Potter month, you should all celebrate Harry Potter with me, instead of Twilight. I mean, I like Twilight and all that, but Harry Potter is truly the best. What is Twilight anyways, basically a Romeo and Juliette for the modern age. A girl and boy can't be together, but now Romeo's a stinking vampire that everyone fawns over and should have been Cedric Diggory but wasn't and upset me! Well, anyway, Harry Potter over Twilight any day. And it's nothing super against Twilight, I enjoy reading them a lot. I just think that it's the same story done for the hundredth time, and everyone likes it so much because it's new, and yes, it is well written, but STILL! People I'm also turned off a bit from Twilight because the movie was a disappointment to me. And I took the risk seeing it, but I heard it was good, and I didn't like it! SO, there you go, point made and finished, HARRY POTTER IS WAY BETTER THAN TWILIGHT! No offense to anyone who might happen to love Twilight more. But, there you go, my opinion has been made!

Harry Potter Day and Thanksgiving Week

Yeah, starting on Thursday or maybe Friday, I'm going to have a full on Harry Potter movie Marathon. I love Harry Potter. I shall watch the movies while wearing my pretty Gryffendor cloak!
Thanksgiving is Thursday, we're no longer going to Utah, because my parents are illen, and tonight I myself have been feel nasty. Well, I'm off to study some of my Geometry. I have a quiz tomorrow, and yep, got to go. Bye everybody!

This is, "What kind of name is Hermione" by the Parsalmouths!

Augh!

It's nine thirty pm. Sunday night. My parents are sick and we just found the water header broken and flooding the office and laundry room. There's a really nice carpet guy hear sucking up all the water, but we had to get all eight big black garbage bags full of soaking wet clothes out of that room. Very uncool. I am exhausted, and there's no water, and my hair is disgusting and there's no way to wash it for a while. Well, I guess I'll pony tail it for a couple days, gross. That makes me sick! Well, I have to go help some more!

This song is "Potions Yesterday" By Draco and the Malfoys!

Twilight

We went and saw Twilight tonight, Maren! I didn't particularly like it. Just the second half, the first half, I was upset with it, stupid retarded. I didn't like the casting of Cedric or Bella. And I didn't like the way Edward acted the first half of the movie. He didn't have the Edward look, and he wasn't Cedric Digory enough for me. He was good at Cedric. And that part he played in Twilight was despicable. Bella sounded like a man half the movie. I know it's hard to make a movie like this, half the book is just THOUGHTS! And you can't really put that in a book! Another disappointment, Jackie told me I would see the new Harry Potter trailer, and there was NO trailer of MY future on that screen! I was just so disappointed, and maybe that's another reason I was so upset about the movie. The movie started and I almost walked out of the theatre because Harry hadn't gone on. OK, Here you go, I was so sad I just wanted you to see it. Because, I was upset, and now you don't have to be!

Ok, Wizard Rock song of the day!

This song is called, "Meet me on Diagon Alley" By the Ministy Of Magic!

This song is "Alone on Valentines day" By the Remus Lupins. I think they are one of my favorite Wrock bands. Just listen to them, I really like them. This one is about Lupin loving Lilly. And not ever telling James. And it's hard to love your best friends girl.

I thought you loyal viewers deserved a second video by the most awesome Wizard Rock artists. This one is also by the Remus Lupins, Enjoy. This one is about Ron and Hermionie. How Ron loves her and wants to tell her, but always holds it off until, tomorrow...

I have a video on YOUTUBE!!

Yep, that's right. I have made a video and put it on you tube. It's called, "Harry and the Potters, we've got to save Ginny Weasly" Look it up, comment, make sure yo are viewing it, because I want views! Also I'm not putting it on my blog so I can get views on YouTube. This was my first video, don't hate. BYE!! Hope you enjoy. And start to love Wrock as much as I do!!

The song is by the Moaning Myrtles. It's called: And then I died.

So, Enjoy this video, it pretty much tells the story of a very miserable gohst. It's all right. Hey those of you who have youtube accounts please supscribe to lasostar. That's Maren Bayles, we want more subscribers. It's to our videos, cool. All right, here's the video...

Nap was Suckish

Yeah, that was maybe the worst nap ever, like fifteen minutes. Yeah, I was supposed to sleep for like two hours before I woke up and would do chores. But mother awoke me, and I was forced to clean the upstairs of my house. Which I guess is fine, because I had to clean it to go with Bay on Saturday to go see Twilight. I am so excited for that movie, seriously, I love the books, and even though I know the movie won't be nearly as good, I still think I'll enjoy them.
I took my pictures for my photography project today. There's some good pictures of some of my Harry Potter stuff, OK, just of one of my HP wall hangings, but I'm going to develop that one for sure, unless something retarded happens to the original print, which might very well happen. Seeing as it's only the second thing I'll be developing, and I'm not that good at it yet.
Hey, check out the song "Human" by the Killers. I really like, so listen to it, and leave me some comments about what you think!

Todays Summary and another Wrock video

Today was really boring, I forgot my glasses again so I couldn't really see. We made family Crests in World History. Mines pretty good, I'm excited to finish it, I would now, but after this I'm going to go take a nap, I know Maren, you're jealous! Took notes in Chem. Practiced in Band, really boring. I can't believe that auditions for honor band are so close, December 6Th. English I sat and did nothing, seriously. Mr. Strong put on the bad seed, but we were all talking. Mr. Strong turned the class period into P.E. Seriously, boys were doing push ups and these desk lift things, it was retarded. People were arm wrestling, I just sat there and talked to Chase the whole time. We did nothing because they had credit checks the whole period, and I didn't get to go, so they'll be doing it again Friday I think, unless they do it tomorrow, then I'll get out of French! Yeah! I've been watching some of my shows since I've got home, House, Heroes, and Chuck. I love them. Now I'm choosing a Wizard Rock song for today, and writing this post. Wait, I've figured what song is today's!! OK, here you go!

"Accio Love" By, The Ministry of Magic.

OK, I'm going to post these cool Wizard Rock songs and I'll put on some more every couple days

"Save Ginny Weasley from Dean Thomas" By Harry and the Potters

"Save the Quibbler" By Gred and Forge


"99 Death Eater" By Draco and the Malfoys

AUGH!

Man, I am so tired. We added weights, and I am so exhausted. I am going to get in the shower and go to bed early. Night everyone!

MYS

So, I had Mormon Youth Symphony today. That was soo fun!! Well, that was kind of sarcastic, it wasn't amazing, it wasn't bad either. Just normal, OK, unexciting. Well, my Madre is sick, probably the stomach flu. So, I'm going to go do what she asks and flip the laundry. So Peace out!

Maren Bayles gone

Hey, my best bud Maren Bayles is now gone! She was over here at my pad watching "Get Smart." Then we played charades, it was fun, I did a lot of Harry Potter related things. It was awesome!! But now I miss that gal. I was everything from a Dementor to a Basilisk tonight. And I thoroughly enjoyed myself, very fun, going to bed. Night everybody!!

Check it out

Hey, so that's right, to go with the Alex who loves Harry Potter, I have put on a new temp,ate, sorry house, nothing personal, I just love HP. Okay, now you can see, Harry Potter, my background, Maren is coming over today, everybody party!!!

Yo Yo Yo, Alex dizzle in da house!

Hey, yeah I'm The Alex, I am sore, I am tired, am am watching HP. I have a best friend named Maren Bayles, I call her Bay, Maren, and sometimes Bales, and it makes her mad, but I find it awesome!!! Accio WROCK!! That's right, wizard rock, Maren looked it up and it deleted all of her vocabulary for history! But I really like it, but that's because I am potter obsessed!!! OK, I'm going now, Harry Potter Unite!!

Everyone, It has Resurrected

That's right loyal followers of iceteamagic. You are the first to know. Starting today, my love of Harry Potter has returned. Anyone who really knows me knows that from about third to seventh grade I was completely obsessed with JK Rowling's beloved series, Harry Potter. Well, I've been feeling a change in me coming on for a couple weeks now, and I think I finally know what it is, my soul wants me to go back. It wants me to be a believer again, to know the love and power of the most amazing books out there, that's right, Harry Potter. Now you all know, it has returned, I am once again, the Harry Potter fan that everyone has known before and loved, but then again, like none of you knew then so now you now the REAL New and improved, Harry Potter loved, Alex Lupton!

Weight lifting today

I am so exhausted, I barely have enough energy to write this post. I had weight lifting today. I am sore, and my legs don't want to move anywhere. But I have to go and babysit for the Johnson's. UGH!! So tired! I have to do HW tonight at their house too. OK, BYE everybody!!

MUTUAL AND A BORING WEDNESDAY KIND OF

So today is Wednesday, Last night we had mutual. We wrote letters to the missionaries and made cookies for the ones in our ward. Then we dropped them off and sang Elder somethingorother happy birthday, forgot his name, started with an S or something. SORRY ELDER!!
Today there is chair placements for band. I'm really nervous, because I always bomb this kind of stuff, and last night when I was practicing it wasn't all that good, I hope it's in the hallway again like last year. The acoustics are lousy so the flute sounds all right as long as you're half playing, the only problem is that some of the flutes CAN'T half play. OK, I'm off!

Today, a day off, plans to be made

Today is Veteran's day. We're about to go out to breakfast. Which is super cool, I guess. I want to hang out with Maren today, and I also have to practice because there are chair placements things tomorrow, and also I have to practice honor band and my church choir thingy. So, I better go, PEACE OUT!

DAWN IS OVER RIGHT NOW!!!

Dawn is over at my house right now. She's sleeping over, we made out mime skit for the church talent show, it was amazing. It is amazing. Jackie doesn't want me to write anything about her, but me just writing about her right now is writing about her. Also, she was Kadoodle, which no one else knows what that code word means because we just made it up. See everyone Wednesday, or in the case of Dawn, when she walks out of the kitchen. Also Maren, I'll hopefully see you tomorrow! BYE!

Clean House

We've just cleaned most of the house, we didn't do the kitchen though, because that's too hard, maybe we'll somewhat clean it. Well, I want to have Dawn over, but I don't know if she can. Depends on what my MADRE says. Also, tomorrow Bay I plan to hang out with you. And maybe tonight if you're not too busy, but then it is Family Home Evening tonight. Well, we'll see. OK, well, back to cleaning! BYE

Other People posting

OK, You people, need to start leaving more posts, because I leave all these posts (WHICH ACTUALLY HELPS ME CALM DOWN) but I do really enjoy reading everyone Else's thoughts. So guys, please, leave some posts on your blogs, or at least some lengthy comments on mine!! Come on, Do it for me!!

Church Talk

I have to talk in Sacrament today. My talk is on Faith, I wrote it yesterday at band competition. I'm kind of proud of it. I have to go to choir practice in like twenty minutes, I have to practice the flute with them for some duets I'm playing with Tiffany Fernelious (Not how you spell it, but Oh well.) So, yep Church Choir, and I want to invite Maren over for dinner, I hope she can, but her dad's out of town so she probably can't but here's hoping!!

2nd and Superior

Yes that's right, our last competition of the year and we got second place. I'm so proud of the band, I don't think it was our best performance, but I hadn't guessed that we would have gotten this far this season. If you had asked me in the beginning of the season what our skill level would be at our last competition it would have been much lower. We got a superior rating which was really good, so yeah I'm exhausted, nice. Bye!

I'm all right!!

Everyone, I am OK! No need to worry. It was no big deal the "NEWS" i got the other night. Some people have been very worried, and it's nothing super bad, I mean to me it's very sad, but to everyone else, it's probably the stupidest thing they'd ever heard. So don't worry. I'm A OK! :D

Playoff Game

We're so close to being finished! No more games after tonight, unless we win, and we won't win!!! We have to go to the school at four thirty, which is really dumb, but other then that I'm cool with this last game!!

News Makes me sick.

Now, when I say "news" I'm not talking about the turn on the TV and see the terrorists, I'm talking about the, "crap! the thing I've been dreading to hear for the past two weeks has finally happened!" I tried to push it to the back of my head all day, but then finally Maren left me alone and I had to face it on the bus ride home. Which was really sad, and I really don't want to talk about it. People kept asking me if I was OK, including both of the people who started this stupid news in the first place and that just put me into an even deeper bout of depression. Which was really stupid! Maren then came to my aid, and I feel... well, not 100% better, but about 35% better. I don't feel like everything is good, but everything isn't bad. I mean, a lot of things about this whole situation is bad, I'm trying to just move forward, but I didn't expect this to happen so quickly, and I can't do anything about it for a LONG time. So, I've just got to hope, and maybe let out a bit more on my blog!!! Thanks for reading!!!

MORNINGS ARE STINKY!!

Man am I glad that I didn't go to seminary today, because I am exhausted! There's like ten minutes before I have to wake up my dad to take me to school. We have a competition today, I was so happy, I was going to get out of my test in geometry, but now I have to take it because we don't get out of third period until 9:30. Which is terrible, really. I should actually go study some more. So Peace out guys!

Band AGAIN!!

So, today we have band practice from 6-9. UGH!! Then tomorrow we have a competition, we get out of third period and aren't back to school till like six thirty!! Friday we have a playoff football game from 4:30 till about Ten thirty!!! The Saturday we're meeting in the band room at 7:30 to go to our last band competition! At least it's over after Saturday. We're getting our chair placements on Wednesday. I had to learn the music that determines it today at lunch. It's different from trombone, it took me like half the period to memorize it, but now I have it down!!! I'm not feeling very well. So, I'm going to go rest before band practice. BYE!

NICE, sarcasm intended

Yep, that's right Obama won the election. We are doomed, but then again, I probably would have said the same thing about McCain. But seriously, the country wasn't doing so hot before Obama, and I don't think we are going anywhere, unless it's even more downwards. Aye Carumba!!! I'm scared, truly scared for what's coming up. And whoever reading this probably is too. These are the times when you wish that you could see what the outcome will be when you make a choice. We're either going to stay where we are, or we're going to sink so low that I... well, I don't know what I'd do, I'm just a kid. But it's probably won't be good for us either. Very Nice (again sarcasm).

Day of Fun!!

Hey, I went over to Maren's today. We had a bazillion no videos. There's really like seven. We went to the mall for mutual. Very nice. We did a scavenger hunt and took crazy pictures, It was exciting, I wish a Maren could have gone!!!

Yep. today is Tuesday

`So, today is Voting Day. That means that there's no school!! It's like ten thirty. the carpet cleaning guys are here, and when they are done I'm going over to Maren's, that is, if she's awake!!! She told me she wanted to sleep in. But I have no idea when she'll be awake, and when I'll go over. I'll wait for her to give me the heads up. Today I'm wearing a green shirt, I really like the color green, now it's showing... again. Well, I'm going to go now. Bye!!!

Alex Lupton

Jacklyn

Yeah, Jackie and I just into this ginormous fight that resulted in her hurling a full bottle of water at the small of my back and me crying for about twenty minutes. All is good now, mom lectured us and we repented. SO Yep, not cool words spoken, some pain.. Still some pain, and now all is good. :(

Week Ahead

So, yesterday I gave my testimony in Sacrament, it was nice. Nine of the twelve people who got up were in YM or YW. All in all, a very good sacrament meeting. So, we don't have school tomorrow, THANK THE LORD! I've just been dead for the past month. I'm going to catch up on my sleep tonight. Tomorrow the carpet cleaning people are coming over to well, clean the carpets! That's at like then thirty. So in the afternoon I'm going over to Maren's to hang out and have some fun. We'll probably make some more videos, watch nightmare before Christmas, because Bay hasn't seen it. Mutual tomorrow too. I invited Bay to come there too, because her mutual is on Wednesday and she can't be there!! Crazy I think, but, what can you do? I know, invite Maren to come to my Mutual!!! Whoop!! Well I've got to go write on my other blog now, bye.

Sunday

So, yesterday was the competition, we got fifth out of seven and a GOOD rating. Not really what I was hoping for, but OK. We went up to points at least!
So I'm reading the Twilight series again, I had forgotten how much I liked it. Good books. They make me excited to read them. Well, mom's making enchiladas tonight, and it's fast Sunday! Nice, so yeah, I'm going to know. Check out the new posts to thealexnmarenshow.blogspot.com's blog!!
BYE!!

Stupid Halloween

That's right, Halloween is stupid. Stupid Band Practice, Stupid cleaning the house, Stupid not doing what I planned to do. This Halloween is so stupid! My mom planned something completely different then what I planned. I'm trying to be calm, but I was just a Little PO d. I'm slowly coming back to my regular self, but this was just so stupid, so, so stupid. I'll be over it eventually, it can't steam for too long, but still. This is so aggravating! Some Halloween this was. Well, at least I still get to hang out with Maren somewhat, barely. I never see her anymore, and this is what happens. Figures, we had everything figures out nice. And Jackie is being an idiot, and I probably won't be able to go over and hang out with Maren anyways because Jackie won't clean the upstairs, and now she's like "Like I care that I'm in your blog!" I'm going to scream, not the Halloween type either, the "I'm going to burst into tears and DIE!" Scream.

*This post was meant to vent, no real harm was meant on anyone.

That's it, follow me!!!!! Please!!! So, there you have it, my 152ND post!!! Bye!!!

Noooo!

Ugh!! It's gone, the puffy craziness that was my hair. It took like fifteen minutes to comb out like half of it! Insane, and now I miss it. My head seems a lot lighter then before, and I can see completely again. It's like I'm bald because I'm gone, maybe I'll do it again, but not tomorrow, because I'm going to be a fork, and I finished my costume by the way people. It is awesome!!!

Football game!

There's a football game tonight, possibly the last of the season. Can you believe that there's only like two more weeks left in the season. We have to be at school tomorrow for dreaded band practice! I have to go make my costume, I almost forgot!. But, I can do it, somehow! Well I'm going to do that now. Man, My hair is in the way of me seeing my post. People were teasing it for me all day! It's crazy!

People people people!

That's right, tomorrow is Halloween, we have no school, and I have afroed my hair so that it is pretty darn scary! I braided the back and teased it, the I put the front in pin curls and brushed them out! It is insane! It's so fluffy, and last night I put in like half a bottle of hair gel and mouse before my mom did all this. It's awesome, well I think so now. I don't want to know how people will react, probably call me insane and smash my self esteem. Very sad. Well, I'm going to go eat breakfast.

Peeps

What's up peeps! I am super excited for Halloween. I'm being a fork, Maren and Anne are the other utensils. Exciting I know. I have mutual in like fifteen minutes. It seems those are the posts I usually write, the "Oh no, I only have five minutes to write a most!" ones. I have a serious question to ask you guys, Do I really write about stupid things like, "Today I found a paper clip." ? Tell me, because I really want to know.
Guys, (And girls) I am so surprised, all week I've had people coming up to me and telling me that they say Maren and I on YouTube, and, I've told people, but not as many as have been coming up to me. Yes, I understand that I'm a total dork! No need to go any further with that thank you. It's crazy, after I'm done with this I'm going to go check how many views we've had. OK, well I'm going to check now, Bye!!

The duet from The Corpse Bride

I love this song. I think it is so pretty, so enjoy, there isn't a video, but it's so pretty that it makes up for it!

French Class

Today in my French class two amazing things happened. I went from an 18% to an 85%. That's right F to a B, way to go Alex !!! I'm number 1!!! Also, Ashley Flores, this girl Keana, and I were talking about the election, and how our country is going down no matter who becomes president. As we were discussing that the conversation turned to the future and how we all think the second coming is on its way very soon. I'm afraid, not of the whole like "Second Coming" thing. But for the people who don't know the truth. WE talked for like thirty minutes about the second coming, the plan of salvation, the war in heaven, the fact that only the LDS church has all of the truth. It was crazy. They were really interested in Life after death. They were talking about how after you die your a spirit, and you can't remember anything from earth, and you can see the people you know now, bu don't remember them. And I just thought that was crazy. How could that be for real, be here and have it not transfer over, So I explained about the veil, and I know that we have the true gospel. I know it's true. And those people who don't know about it are really missing out. I know the church is true, ad I am so thankful for this opportunity I had to share some knowledge of the church with two of those who actually HAD questions!!

Here's the link to Maren's YOUTUBE page. There you can find our now four videos, :)

Maren and I

So, after the REALLY hot Obama rally yesterday, I went over to Maren's house. Where we made some videos. They are really cool. Well, they're very, corny. And we embarrass ourselves a lot. But feel free to check them out. WE had fun doing it, and that's all that matters. The first one is Hello from Maren and Alex, and you can just click on her YouTube page Lasostar or something, and then the other videos will pull up. It was realy fun, so no matter what you think, it was fun at least. Oh, and PLEASE leave comments, thanks. Alex Lupton

Today at school on a Sat.

Today we are playing for Obamma. All day. I'm going to be on my way in about five minutes. It is ALL DAY!!!WE won't be leaving until like six. Michelle Phillips wanted to go see a movie after that, but I don't think I'll go. Maybe I'll see if I can hang around with MAREN!!! Woohoo! OK, well, I'm going to go!!!

OBAMMA

So, I guess we're playing for Obamma on Saturday. WE have to be at the school at eleven, which stinks, because I was going to hang out with Maren. We were going to have so much fun. Now I have to play for our future president. Got to go, my moms coughing up a storm. So now you know, I 'm going to miss having a ton of fun with Maren.

Thursday

UGH Thursday. Stuck in between the worst day and the best day of the week. Boring, calm, extremely boring, did I mention that it's boring. I guess I should just try and make it un-boring. I think I'll be reading the twilight series today for fun. Or even just for free time, and I'll have a lot of free time. I've already developed my pictures in photography, all I have to do is cut them and put them in the plastic pages. I have a test in geometry, I might study for that in photography, I have to ace it so I can get a B in the class, I have a C right now. And some councilors came into my world history class yesterday and said most collages won't take you unless you have a 3.25 unweighted GPA. And only your core classes. Which means pretty much all the As I have are gone and I'm left with B, C, B, A. That C is dragging me down. I NEED to bring it up. And I think I bombed a test in Chemistry yesterday, so now one of those is going to turn into a C! I am really stressed about this. Whoa yeah. So, I need to go make my lunch, bye.

Random!!!

Hello buds, Jackie is upset because she can't go to Natalie Bame's birthday party. She's sick. She's throwing things down the stairs, STOP JACKIE STOP!!!
My toenails are orange, but I think the orange in this picture is better.
We are who we were when...
I really like the BEACH BOYS, I think they sounds cool, like the Beatles but slightly different.
Six O nine. Wowza.
Going over to Aaron's in a bit. Exciting. Maren ad I are going to have so much fun on Saturday!
OK, if I haven't told you about this fight that happened at school yesterday ask me, because it was really scary and I've told a lot of my friends all ready and they're probably getting tired of it, but it was way scary!!!
I need harry Potter like a grindylow needs water!
Did you know that I used to be a big fan of Harry Potter, yes that's right. I'm still a fan. But like last weekend I was cleaning out my closet and I have a full six boxes of Harry Potter awesomeness.
I think I'm going to re-read the twilight series, then Harry Potter, I love those books, all of them. I need to start reading more. Lately it seems like I don't do a lot of Reading, BUT NOT ANYMORE. I shall read to my eyes fall out. WOOHOO!!!!
My fingers are cramping up. GOODBYE!!!

HaHA!!!

That's right friends, I have found how to subscribe to blogs. Thank you Zack, because now I do that. I only have one of my four subscriptions on private, and that's Maren's. I didn't know if she would appreciate me sharing this with the world, because I think you can see the blogs I follow. So if you want me to put you guys on private tell me. I'll do it, just let me know!!!

I AM ALEX!!!!

Hello blog readers. If you are reading this than, WELCOME. You are one of the few cool enough to know the inner workings of an extreme mind. Now notice I said extreme. Take that as you will, I prefer to think of myself as a secret undercover Spy. Those who are reading this and know what I'm talking about, bonus points for you, and if you're puzzled, ask and ye shall receive. In this instance ask ME, and I'll tell you all about it. Just a heads up, I'm totally religious, those who are LDS kind of know that I'm religious, but I think you have to be a non-member to look at me and truly understand what I mean when I say that I'm religious, around some of my friends I am known as the MORMON. Fine with me, This nickname works for me, and in fact it is truth. Guys if you're wondering why I've been writing a description of myself. Well, I've been watching video blogs. And I think that its transferred a bit over to my personal blog. I like the ones where they explain themselves, and you get to know them. And I personally feel like a lot of my friends don't really know me. Now you know why I'm writing these posts, I'll get into a groove in a couple posts, be patient, don't leave my blog!! You rock guys!!!

Hello Everybody!!!

So, I feel like I haven't truly explained myself to anyone who reads my blog. So, I'll give you a little, this is me post! I am Alexandria1 Jayd Lupton, Alex for short, my family calls me Alley. I'm a sophomore at Bonanza high school. I have friends ranging from seventh graders to seniors. But my number one best friend is Maren Bayles, Shout out to her because she's awesome. I have one sister, her name is Jackie, it's just her me and my mom and dad. We live relatively close to the school. I am fifteen now, wow. Not used to that. At the moment my toenails are bright orange. My hair is a crazy mess, and I'm wearing my band pants. I love dressing up, I was going to wear a dress to school today, but I felt a little uncomfortable, maybe Wednesday. I kind of play softball. I was on the JV team this last year, I'd never played before then, but I guess spirit is good and they let me on. I loved it and plan to be on it again this year. I love music, I'm in the band (if you couldn't tell, I mean, look at my posts!) I'm a blogger, as you know, because I'm on right now and you're reading...me!! My favorite TV shows are, #1 house, then heroes, Chuck right behind that and Finally the office. No other shows do I really follow. I'm texting Bay right now, I'm really hungry. I love English, if my teacher was such a bimbo it would definitely be my favorite subject. I enjoy writing poems as you could probably tell, all the ones I'm proud of go right here, on my blog. I spend a lot of time on YouTube, looking up cool videos and music. My favorite bands are Coldplay, The Beach Boys, The Killers, The Fray, We are Scientists, and the Weepies, and so many more, all the ones that Michelle and Anne told me for sure, like Bayside and Anberlin. My FAVORITE song at the moment is "Wouldn't it be Nice" by the Beach Boys. Ummm, Did I mention I'm hungry, because I'm super hungry. I like fuzzy blankets, warms socks. I play the Trombone, and the flute. I love the flute, but if there are only two trombones, they need me!!! Also, my socks often don't match, I like exercise, I mean, who can pass up physical Education?

Maren, this poem explains a lot. I read your blog. I'm so sorry.

PROMISES

I've been gone
I know it, you know it
It's not the same
But I promise, I've come back

There has been much avoidance
Many these last few weeks
I can't take it, you can't either
But I promise, I am back

I've shed tears
They're hear right now
I've missed you, you've missed me
But I promise, I'll be the best that I can be

I've dragged you through the mud
And you should just walk away
I've hurt you, and you were always true for me
But I promise, if you stay, I'll jump back to where we were.

I shouldn't be forgiven
I've been nothing but an idiot for too long now
I see it, and though you're too amazing to probably say it out loud...
you see it too.
But I promise, my brains have returned

I miss you... I'm sorry

Maren, this poem was written for you, and about you, I am SO sorry. I will never be like this again. I promise you. I am so sorry.

Competition numba 2

So, highlights. We went up two places to five. We got seven points higher than last time. We played the music better, and marched sucky, but the music was good. A lot of the other bands are really good. The not so good things, I lost a girl today on the bus I shouldn't have because I'm supposed to be a good section leader, but because I suck, I lost her, but she ended up being on the bus the whole time. So, in short I'm a sucky section leader. And now my best friend is mad at me, and I'm really stressed. Really stupid and there are some other stuff about the people I sat next to. And my terribleness. OK, I stink, both literally and figuratively. SO, goodnight, I'm going to go try to make sense of all this.

People, Another one of my creations

KEEP IN MIND

Though now you're busy
Gathering your thoughts away from me
You'll come round soon
Keep in mind... I am here

You are oof,
Having adventures, where you don't want me around
But you will see, you need me there
Just keep in mind, I'm not out of reach

Now you've seen someone new
An I'm cast into the back of your thoughts
But she won't last
So keep in mind, I'll be waiting

Waiting...
Waiting...
Waiting...

Oh, you've decided you'll stay away?
Leave me behind ti rot back there in your head?
You want her, and you're not coming back?
Keep in mind... no, that's ok
Your mind is full now
Leave me to lie in the hope that was the past

Room

OK, Really quick post. I have ten minutes to get ready for school. Just so you know, I rearranged my room awesomely. It looks really cool. Exciting, but while I was moving furniture, something cracked in my back that shouldn't have, and now. I'm in pain. Ouch!!!So, if you see me grimacing today. That's why. K got to go!!! Bye

Thursday

I am so amazed, it's Thursday. The week is almost over. It seems like yesterday we were getting the lowest scores in competition. This week has been pretty... not spectacular, but OK. I wrote a couple new poems, one of which was too personal to share but just might be my best yet. We had one sucky band practice, we're having another one tomorrow, hopefully that one's better. I did an English project. I got every single problem right on my Chemistry homework today, which I'm really proud of. That's pretty much it. Boring but quick week. This weekend we have yet another competition. We're all praying that our scores will jump up what? At least ten points? Well, as long as we improve I don't mind. Church on Sunday, stake conference, love church, but can you say boring. The longest sacrament meeting ever!!! Oh well, what can you do? Well, I'm in the mood to write a poem. A good one, hopefully. Oh and by the way, AARON told me this awesome band they're called We are scientists. I know I recommend a lot of music and videos on here, but these guys are pretty good. I like them anyways, and their videos are really funny. I like the songs Impatient, After hours, and Great Escape. So there you go. Wow this was a long post!!

IT... Here it goes, Poems galore this week.

"IT"

Concealed in the shadows
A dim light floating all around
Rain pounding down on a newly formed puddle
That's where it begins

Then it flows
And it comes like a dog to its master
While jumping wildly from idea to realism
That's when truth is formed

Often more than you want spills across the canvas
But when you try to redraw
It becomes clear it was meant to be
And a part of you is sprinkled all around

Often too much pain goes in
But the longing for more gets in the way
In the brilliant light of a new dawn
Here, on the hill that is my thrown
It ends...
