How I Fell In Love With My Guitar… Again

Electric red and white guitar

This guitar at http://guitaristguitarist.com/images/guitars/electric_guitar.jpg sort of looks like mine, but it isn't EXACTLY like that.

I had bought a guitar, like, one year ago. I used to play it EVERY SINGLE DAY. Well, okay, I didn’t technically play it, since I was just a beginner. I practiced, and I practiced every single day of my vacation. I fell in love with that red and white thing ever since it was hanging from the guitars’ place on the music store. I wanted to play for a simple reason: I needed an instrument to accompany the songs I would sing and write. I knew very little of music theory then. I still know little, compared to what singers should know, but I went from zero to ten, in a scale where infinite knowledge was the limit. I was getting better and better every day I practiced. I even looked up new guitar chords on the internet so I could learn more.

One day, however, I had to move away. My guitar couldn’t go with me, and I wasn’t sure why. I had seen people carrying their instruments on planes. Why couldn’t I? For some reason, they decided my guitar should go on with the moving truck, and I didn’t play for a long, long time.

When my guitar arrived, the one I had fallen in love with, the one which I practiced on everyday, the one I had begged my parents to buy for me, the Chosen One which was supposed to one day accompany my songs, the one I had hurt my fingers for – when that very same guitar arrived, it was broken. It wasn’t over for it yet, however: it was a very little tip which had broken off, almost as if it was pinching itself off. However, was it possible? Was it possible I had learned to live without my guitar? There are things I need, like singing and reading and writing. I had needed my guitar once. Did I still need it now?

In between tests, friendships, decisions, quizzes, grades, lockers, bookbags, report cards, BOB, JMUN, people, awards, Choir, Language Arts, more people, one person, another person, writing, research papers, poetry, confusion, being a middle schooler, not being able to swim, sucking at PE, rocking at other subjects, emails, MSN, teachers, students, parents, problems, more problems and fun stuff, I think I sort of forgot about my guitar. Yesterday, however, my dad asked if I wanted to play. I started to consider it. I wanted to watch a TV show that was on, but I decided trying it, once again, trying my guitar. I started learning again, yesterday. I decided that the part that had pinched off from my guitar actually gave it some charming effect. The way the guitar fit into my legs and my body, and how I still knew how to hold the chords (even if I didn’t remember the chords) made me feel like I should try it more times. Whatever to that TV show, I decided.

Even because, if I had watched it, I wouldn’t remember how I loved playing my guitar. I wouldn’t have fallen in love with it… again.

Back with Demi!

Do you remember Demi, the character I presented… let’s see when… Okay, it WAS a long time ago: June 29, 2009!!! It has been more than a whole year since I wrote the first story about Demi. Here’s the link to the first post, Daily Life.

So, I will write another story featuring Demi! However, this time she – my character; she isn’t real – is sittin’ on a bench in the Science lab! Here I go!

NOT REAL; THIS IS JUST A STORY!

Science Class

From Demi’s Diary

Today, in school, I met this new guy. His name is Peter. He was coming down the main stairs this morning, but he seemed not to know where to go. I asked him what was his next class, and he happened to have Science – same as me. I didn’t want to go to Science because all the jocks are in that class, and none of my friends are in it, so I never have anyone to be my lab partner. Even worse, all the jocks used to snicker at me in the beginning of the year, because I always got A’s in tests, quizzes, projects and labs. Instead of making everyone want to be my lab partner, it had the exact opposite effect. Everybody now loathed me and laughed at me because Science was my best subject, instead of PE just like for them. So I always end up being alone, or last pick. It’s already bad enough to ALWAYS be last pick in PE. Now, Science too? How fair’s that I’m not allowed to be good at my favorite subject? Because of that whole thing with the popular people, I never dared to get an A ever again.

But, I mean, this new guy had Science with me. He didn’t know about my history in seventh grade Science class. He didn’t know any of the above. So he could be my lab partner! I mean, he was actually kind of cute, too; he didn’t look like a total stupid like the jocks at my school do.

I asked him while I guided him through the packed hallways towards the lab, “Are you good in science class?” He answered me with a shy smile and the simple phrase, “Not much.” He added, “I’m better at Art. And also English.” I told him, “Then maybe I can help you. I’m fairly good.” He smiled again, and proposed, “Well, we could be lab partners.” Then, he quickly added, “I-I mean, if y-you want. I’m sure a smart girl like-like you already has a lab partner.” I told him that I actually didn’t, and that yes, I would like to be his lab partner.

We got to class just on time. As I sat in a corner next to a jock who was getting picked on because I had to sit by him, Peter sat on the farthest bench he could, hoping not to attract people’s views.

The teacher announced, “Today we’re switching it up! You can pick your lab partners and your seats.”

I walked right to Peter, who was trying to walk to me. However, one of the popular girls walked to him and said, “Come sit with me!” Was I about to lose my only chance of a lab partner? The girl obviously thought him cute, same as I had.

He looked at me. He looked at her.

I said, as coldly as I could, “I am already sitting with him.”

He seemed to have decided for me over her, when she said, “Oh my God, you’re sitting next to that loser?? She SUCKS in Science. I’m serious. She’s this class’s worst student.”

I couldn’t believe what she had just said. Suddenly, Peter became all jocky-like and moved to her side. I realized he had been faking a shy, Art-guy attitude all along. He was probably only good at PE, like all of them.

So I just stood there and sat down, and I was alone again. I copied my notes numbly as I tried not to think. Suddenly, we heard a knock on the door. It was the principal’s secretary. She asked, “Can I take out Demi, please?”

The teacher said, “Sure”, and let me go. I found myself sitting on the principal’s office, next to a friend of mine, Mark.

“Hi, Demi!” he greeted. “Do you know why we’re here?”

I didn’t have time to answer negatively. The principal opened her door and said, “How are ya two?” We answered we were fine, and she invited us in. Then she told us we had been selected to be part of the regional Science contest, with people from the surrounding international schools. And then she said, “You will have to be in the same Science class to complete your project, which will be made during class and in extra times after school, before school, at home, on the weekends, whatever! But you’ll be doing this project together. So, Demi, I switched you to Mark’s class. Here’s your new schedule.”

I high-fived Mark, and I waited until sixth period was finished, so I could go to Math, my second-best class. In the outside grounds of the school, where me and Mark went,  he suddenly grabbed my hand. not with violence; only with something I couldn’t understand yet. But I let him do so. I turned around to see him, and I realized something I had never realized before: he was cute. Twenty-billion times cuter than Peter. My heart was set racing.

That’s when I thought that life was the best place to be in, after all.

The end. 🙂

So, did you like my story?? If you did, comment!! (It’s way different from the original, though. I guess I’ll post a story featuring Demi just like the original one… SOMEDAY!!!!!!!!!! :))

Pseudonyms!! Finally free of writer’s block!!

So, I was having writer’s block. Then I decided to brainstorm on Notepad and I actually got some good ideas. (Wait… I’m now adding Notepad. And Microsoft Word. And the word AND. And Waiting in lines. And the word WAIT. And endless lines.)Notepad

Well, the result is: now I have MANY ideas. I mean MANY ideas. 158!!! And I guess it’s over that, too, because I might have missed some when I counted them. So, in the next few paragraphs, I might talk a little bit about some selected subjects. I’m gonna delete the most general ones (e.g., Cats, Books) or the ones I don’t really have much to talk about or don’t feel like talking about right now (e.g., MSN, Having a headache) or the ones which might be too personal (not including examples here! Ha, ha, ha). Then, finally, I’m gonna have to make a small, careful selection until I have a single subject left.

Random Stuff

So many stuff...

And it is…

Pseudonyms

Many names

Many names

Wouldn’t it be just fun if you became famous and changed your name? I like my name, but wouldn’t it be so cool if I could change it to, umm, I don’t know, Lily-Violet Wheeze, or Leila Longer? I don’t know, something that sounded good. Better than our real names.

I also did some research and gathered some names of famous people that actually AREN’T their real names:

Woody Allen-Allen Stewart Königsberg
Julie Andrews-Julia Elizabeth Wells
Fred Astaire-Frederick Austerlitz
Lewis Carroll-Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
Coco Chanel-Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel
Tom Cruise-Thomas Cruise Mapother IV
Sally Field-Sally Margaret Field Mahoney
Jimi Hendrix-James Marshall Hendrix
Audrey Hepburn-Audrey Kathleen Ruston (afterwards Ruston-Hepburn)
Elton John-Reginald Kenneth Dwight
Rudyard Kipling-Joseph Rudyard Kipling
Freddie Mercury-Farrokh Bulsara
Carmen Miranda-Maria do Carmo Miranda Da Cunha
Marilyn Monroe-Norma Jean Mortenson (afterwards Baker)
Demi Moore-Demetria Gene Guynes
Mother Teresa-Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart-Johann Chrysostom Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Nina Ricci-Maria Adelaide Nielli
Meg Ryan-Margaret Mary Emily Anne Hyra
Meryl Streep-Mary Louise Streep
Mark Twain-Samuel Langhorne Clemens
Stevie Wonder-Stevland Hardaway Judkins (afterwards Morris)
Natalie Wood-Natalia Nikolaevna Zakharenko (afterwards Natasha Nikolaevna Gurdin)

SEE!! I’m finally free!! I beat… WRITER’S BLOCK!!

Writer's Block

Obs: that’s why I put “Cute” as a category 😛 😉 :D!!

Unusual, but unique and cool hair

Hair-picture

A pic of hair

I’ve just googled “hair” on Google Images, and I was just… ummm… creeped out by what I saw. There is hair for every taste and every color. That one in the left is actually a drawing at gas13.ru/v3/tutorials/how_to_draw_human_hair.php. (I know, it seems so real!!) Then I decided to write about hair — not normal hair, but unusual colors of hair.

Be prepared for a post with tons of pics… 🙂

I have, like, normal hair. Not purple or blue, or in a different shape. My hair is pretty ordinary. I actually admire people who make artworks outa their hair. It’s pretty cool, once you see it. So, here will go some pics of hair/art.

🙂

So, here I go. Blue hair:

Blue emo hair

This is Kate Hudson in the movie Bride Wars, in which her character went to the hairdresser and there, accidentally got her hair dyed blue.

Next color. Pink is a really, really cool color (I think so now, opposite of when I wrote the post Poll, back in time). SO here are some pics of pink hair:

Pink haired girl

Women in Pink Hair

Also, here is a little taste of purple hair.

A surprisingly elderly woman using purple hair

This woman was a librarian who promised to dye her hair purple if teens at a school read 50,000 pages. Obviously they achieved the record 🙂

So, keep hoping 4 more posts on this subject!!

You are never really bored…never!

Okay, I’m bored. So here are some things to do when you are bored:

Visit my blog to see if there’s anything new and comment. Get into MSN & send a nice IM to somebody you like or who is your friend. Smile for no reason at all. Start dancing. Laugh at something which happened ages ago. Play Tic-Tac-Toe with yourself. Get an English-Spanish dictionary and start learning words in Spanish. Phone a friend. Stick your head out of the window. Sing a song which has a special meaning. Pick a book you’ve read 300,000 times and read it again. Pick a book you’ve never read and read it for the first time. Write a book yourself. Write quotes. Compose a song. Draw just about anything you want to. Write a diary entry. Turn on the TV and watch something interesting. Dream of a person. Write a blog entry. Clean your room. Smile to someone. Be nice to somebody else. Look at yourself in the mirror. Check if your hair looks good. Do something different to your hair. Eat bread. Hit the “Send” button. Hit the “Let’s Start Over” button. Forgive someone. Walk around the roadside. Try to meditate. Do a trillion things at a time. Make a scrapbook. Play chess. Walk on the threadmill. Run on the threadmill. Listen to music. Do something you’ve been putting off for ages. Live. Love. Laugh.

See, you can never say you are bored. Because there will always be thousands of things to do.

Now, wait for more!!

I’m on vacation – YAYZ!!!!! FINALLY!!!!! But this is so weird. Now I’m gonna be in 8th grade!! And I started this blog in 6th grade!! And I’m FINALLY not moving out of the country, or the city, or whatever!! I’m NOT leaving at the end of the year, and I love this feeling of STAYING!!!! FINALLY!!!
