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.

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...

Yet another poem by me

COME BACK

There it goes,
That secret I'd cradled for so long
Now, through much pain and tears
It's escaped the cage of my soul

Marionette strings pull sharply on my heart
Dragging away my beloved secret
Into the arms of the one in the world who can't find it
For then my heart will surely rot to nothing

Now it has
And the hole left will never be filled
Unless you step in yourself
To be my heart, as mine has now passed

But For now it remains empty
And the cold brings icy tears to my shocked frozen eyes
But maybe you can warm them up
If you could only accept my damaged heart, without a secret

Only one life is unbearable
A life in which I'm alone with the pit that is my heart
Now boarded up and under construction
And you're gone, never to come back... with my heart

Great

Just a let you know, that great above this is a sarcastic great. Because now, everyone knows everything, well in a way. Way to go lantern. Anne you know completely what I mean. Maren you need to talk to me, because I need to tell you about this crazy event. I'm embarrassed. And this one... is pretty bad.

Fine, here you go, another poem by me. Enjoy...

ALONE

Often I find myself alone
Where only the dimmest of starlight touches the earth
And in those calm and over bearing moments
My thoughts align themselves into a perfect picture of you

But sometimes I'm gone for awhile
And your portrait becomes fuzzy round the edges
That's when the crystal tears come streaming down
And the sketch becomes unrecognizable and useless

All I can do is cry harder
And pray for your glorious image to return
And when it doesn't,
I crawl out from the abyss I've been hiding in

When I'm about to give up
And lie on the cold ground till the end
You're there taking my hand
And guiding me out of my own personal darkness



Well, I hope you enjoyed, this one I'm actually kind of proud of. So, hopefully you liked it too. Otherwise this whole things was pointless!

Last post

So, that last post doesn't necessarily have to do with me exactly. Only partly, which part you can figure out for yourselves, but you'll have to guess, I'm not one to spill beans about this kind of stuff, unless you can weasel it out of me. Sorry.

Another Poem By Me, This One's Not as Good As Some Of My Others, But, Oh Well.

CAN'T MISS ME

Yes, I'm here
Underneath all the pain
Under the coating of grimy agony

You can look
I don't mind
In truth you'd be preferred

I of course
Have looked at you
I've peaked and gawked and pondered

But all you see
When you look at me
Is someone less than perfect

But yes I'm here
Underneath all this
And I'll stay here
'Till you come round

To see me as I truly am.


That's the end, but I'll try and write something new so that this pathetic excuse for a poem doesn't end up being the top of my posts for too long.

Ok, This song has been stuvk in my head since Friday, and most likely will be in it for the rest of this week. I've been hearing it everywhere since the homecoming assembly. I swear, I think Phillip was playing it Saturday at Michelle's house, I was going crazy! I like the song, but it's always in my head. My favorite part of the video is the black guy with the fanny pack dancing at the end, watch for him. And listen to the song, if you start singing it this week, I just might start dancing, and even singing, so watch out.

This Week

So this week will be fun, full of ... band. Tomorrow I have band as a class. Then on Tuesday I have a rehearsal, Wednesday I have class again, Thursday I'm off the hook, Friday there's another rehearsal Ugh! Two in a week. Then on Saturday there's another competition. This last time we got seventh out of seven bands. Which is terrible, but I guess that's why we have all this extra practice. This week I'm going to try to actually practice in band. And I'm going to hang out with Maren more for sure. Along with getting a little more Physical Education, (Maren and Anne, you know what I mean) Which I do plan on doing. Hey, I just realized this week won't be much fun at all, I mean that last few parts will be OK, who doesn't want some exercise?

Homecoming Dinner

So, yesterday I went to the dinner before homecoming. Everyone looked really good. Most people dressed up. Anne did wear pants, but she still looked really nice. And Phillip dressed completely down, which was really funny. I personally wore this new outfit I got. Black legging, black sweater dress, and a black over coat. Lots of people said I looked pretty, so, thank you everyone, you're very kind. My mom did my hair in an awesome up do. She does wonders. And I love her she's amazing. Maren wore a really pretty red dress. Very stunning. Dinner was awesome, I shared fettichinie Alfredo with Michelle and Anne. We were in the Pope room at Bucca. I had a blast, I even tried my very first muscle, as in squishy this inside what a clam type things. Looks nasty, tasted good for the first five or so seconds, then it turned a little fishy, and I swallowed fast. It was really nice, a very special evening. Also I want to say a little thank you to Mrs. Aoki for taking me to the dinner place, and also for taking Phillip and I home. You're amazing thanks!!! Really fun, great idea, I'm glad I went.

Bay

MAREN! See you at competition! Woohooo!!! You rock. I talked to you at the game yesterday. Good times Maren, Great times. Talk to you later Bay. You are amazing. You're a good friends and this year stinks, because I never get to talk to you anymore. i END UP TELLING PEOPLE THINGS THAT i WOULD NORMALLY TELL YOU. and THE REACTION THEY HAVE ISN'T NEARLY THE SAME AS YOURS. SAD. BUT, BYE MAREN!!! PS I realized only after I had finished writing that about half of this is all in caps. But I'm too lazy to go back and fix it. Sorry. :)

Band Again

We won the football game against Darango, homecoming game. Fun Fun. That was a beating on Darango. Well we have a competition today. Denny's starts in like twenty-five minutes, because it starts at seven and it's six thirty-five. Yeah so competition. I'm a bit worried about this combo thing in When the saints go marching in. I can play my part, but then I get up with the others, and I blow it. So, today my goals are: To play as if I was ten trombone not one. To play the combo correctly, and enjoy my time with Physical Education ;)

This is another poem that I just wrote. I want some comments, I like reading them, so tell me what you think.

"Heart"

I long for that moment everyday
When you catch my heart and set it free.
And winds blow it far beyond my sight
Though it always finds its' way back to me

I wish for it to stay away
The returning pain leaves deeper marks that cuts or nicks
or bruises.
But the pain is worth it in the end
Because you're there to lift it out of me again.

And there's days when you don't come
And I'm left on a park bench, awaiting the arrival of nothing.
And my heart pounds, willing to escape
And the darkness presses on with only a trickle of light left on
my beating heart.

It would all seem worthless,
But then you're there, scooping my feebly beating heart away.
Leaving something far greater behind
And that will last 'till you leave again and I'm alone.

But at this second with you, I am free.

Bands

So, at lunch today, my friends Anne, Phillip, and Zack were talking about bands and some stuff I should look up. I only remember they said to look up Amber Pacific, and I didn't like them. But in English Michelle wrote me a note with the names of several bands I should check out upon it, they were as follows: Amber Pacific, Anberlin, The Dear Hunter, Bayside, June, and 1997. And as I said, I didn't like Amber Pacific or the The Dear Hunter. June was a little iffy for me, it's in like Japonese or something. But I really liked Bayside, Anberlin was good too, and 1997 wasn't bad. So thanks Michelle. Good stuff. BYE!!!

Today

So, let me summarize today. Slept in. so I didn't go to seminary. I went to school, photography, geometry, band, french... BORING!!!! Today made me sick with boredom. I wrote some notes to my friends, I found out that for dinner before homecoming we're going to Bucca Di Peppo (That's probably not how you spell it, but oh well). I'm excited for that. We watched our half-time show in band class today, we were terrible, and we have a competition Saturday, how dreadful!! I came home and watched Chuck again. Good show. The I started writing on my blog, and watching you tube. That brings us to now, writing this on my blog, tonight we have band practice. I get to see Maren, and some of my other friends. That's cool. Shout-out to all them:

Maren Bayles, Anne Aoki, Michelle Phillips, Phillip Easton, Zack (Still don't know your last name) Kaze, Aileen Wong, You all rock see you tonight at the amazing practice!!!!

Overslept

Yep, that's right, it's around six o'clock. And yes, I slept in. I don't know what happened. I guess my alarm went off and I turned it off and I didn't get up. But I don't remember this, so I think that my alarm just didn't go off!!! I have to start getting ready for school now. I've slept in for like an hour and a half. I'm so lame, I wonder how this day will go? It's my boring day, so good thing I got that extra hour and a half of sleep, because I don't think I could have sat through geometry without a little extra shut-eye!

Charlie is so cool like, you've gotta check him out!

General Confrence

Hey, So this weekend was general conference. For those of you who are not LDS. It's like when we all watch TV to listen to the general authorities of the church. So, all weekend. Now I'm back though. It's pretty late, and I'm kind of tired. So, now you all know I'm back, and, that's pretty cool. Oh, we won the football game Friday, we're doing pretty well this year, it's a miracle!!!

Weekend

Sorry guys, no more posts this weekend, I'm going up to Utah in about five minutes, so barely time to write this one. All I've got to say is check out charlieissocoollike. He's really funny, yeah they're heading out the door! Bye!!!

My cool b-day

So, my birthday was really fun. Peace to all my peeps who made it that way. Maren, Michelle, Anne, Zack, Phillip, Ashley, Dawn, and anyone else I missed. You guys rock, you really made it special. School was good, and I went to the temple which was an amazing experience. Then I went to band, looking pretty tight I must say, in a the dress I wore to the temple. Then I came home and slept. It was AWESOME! Thanks again.
