Life Recap

My life has been a bit of a whirlwind in the past few weeks. There are four things to talk about: volunteering at the library, the Young Author's Conference, GS camp, and the Flash.

First off, I've been volunteering at my local library on Wednesday mornings for story time. It is an absolute blast. First, the librarians read stories that follow a theme. Then, the kids are released for 'Garden Games', which is really just whatever outdoor toys the library owns out in the garden. There are a bunch of volunteers (all teenage girls, and including me) who help out, making sure no one gets hurt, or eats the games. It is so fun. The kids are all really sweet, and the hardest part of the whole job is carrying everything outside at the beginning, and inside at the end.

Secondly, the Young Author's Conference was amazing. Imagine a bunch of young writers crammed into one building, learning everything they can from the professors and authors around them, as well as each other. First, we workshopped our pieces. Then, I had a poetry class led by Gail Carson Levine, which was amazing. Not only did I learn to write a triolet, I met Gail Carson Levine. Then, lunch, followed by a session on revising, then writing what you know, then building a character. It was amazing! My group, the Blue Frogs, spent a lot of time completely nerding out and talking about all sorts of fandom related stuff.

Third, Girl Scout camp. I did not want to do this, but it ended up being pretty fun. I read my Laura Ingalls Wilder book and hung out with the little girls in my mom's troop. It was a pretty chill weekend. I got to watch the fire, and did not have to go swimming in the nasty lake. My sister did go home because of her allergies. My littlest sister spent the night curled up at my side. It was annoying, but also kind of cute.

Fourth, the Flash. I watched nine episodes on Monday. It is safe to say that I am completely obsessed. Come on, it's a show about nerds and superheroes. What's not to like? It is phenomenal. I love it. I love Barry Allen. It is amazing. Infinite love for the Flash.

Chorus of the Day!

Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman
And maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town

Last Chorus of the Day:

The Ballad of Mona Lisa by Panic! at the Disco

Amazing Lines: Panic! at the Disco - Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!

This is my favorite Panic! at the Disco album. Enjoy!

This is Gospel

Locked away in permanent slumber

Source

Assembling their philosophies

From pieces of broken memories

Source

The gnashing teeth and criminal tongues conspire against the odds 

Source

'Cause these words are knives that often leave scars

Source

Led away by imperfect impostors

Source

Miss Jackson

You move in circles hoping no one's gonna find out

Source

A pretty picture but the scenery is so loud,

A face like heaven catching lighting in your nightgown

Source

But back away from the water, babe, you might drown 

Source 

Vegas Lights

In the Vegas lights

Where villains spend the weekend

The deep end

We're swimming with the sharks until we drown

Source 

Our cynical minds will make it totally worth it

Source

We're all not here for nothing

And we're bored with looking good

We gotta be starting something

Would you change it if you could?

Source

Girl That You Love

Drop every pretense

Drown every sense you own

Source

So what does that make god

To the girl that you love

Girl you loathe

Source

Denominations surrender all control 

Source

Our indignation to every tainted soul 

Source

Nicotine

Cross my heart and hope to die

Burn my lungs and curse my eyes

Source

I taste you on my lips and I can't get rid of you

Source

So I say damn your kiss and the awful things you do

You're worse than nicotine 

Source

It's better to burn than to fade away

It's better to leave than to be replaced

Source

Just one more hit and then we're through

'Cause you could never love me back

Cut every tie I have to you

'Cause your love's a fucking drag 

Source

Girls/Girls/Boys

I don't wanna hear you've got a boyfriend

Sometimes you're better off alone 

Source

Pose, you've gotta save your reputation 

Source

I am just a villain vying for attention

From a girl

A girl who can't decide and here's the reason why 

Source

But girls love girls and boys

And love is not a choice 

Source

Casual Affair

Take any moment, any time

A lover on the left

A sinner on the right

Source

Lay in the atmosphere

A casual affair 

Source

Break involuntary ties

A secret so the spies

Could never find us out 

Source

Stay for as long as you have time

So the mess that we'll become

Leaves something to talk about

Source

Far Too Young to Die

I've never so adored you

I'm twisting allegories now

Source

I'm chasing roller coasters

I've got to have you closer now

Source

Endless romantic stories

You never could control me

Source

Well I never really thought that you'd come tonight

When the crown hangs heavy on either side

Give me one last kiss while we're far too young to die

Source

Fixation or psychosis?

Devoted to neurosis now 

Source

Collar Full

We've waited so damn long, we're sick and tired

I won't leave any doubt or stone unturned

I've got a collar full of chemistry from your company

So maybe tonight I'll be the libertine

Source

You've got it all worked out with so little time

Memories that I'd blackout if you were mine

You've got a pocket full of reasons why you're here tonight

So, baby, tonight just be the death of me

Source

The End of All Things

Whether near or far

I am always yours

Any change in time

We are young again 

Source

In these coming years

Many things will change

But the way I feel

Will remain the same

Source 

All of these fit the theme of the album, dark B&W. I love this album so much and I hope I have done it justice.

Chorus of the Day!

Say what you mean

Tell me I'm right

And let the sun rain down on me

Give me a sign

I want to believe

Woah, Mona Lisa,

You're guaranteed to run this town

Woah, Mona Lisa,

I'd pay to see you frown

Last Chorus of the Day:

The Kids Aren't Alright by Fall Out Boy

Re-Introduction

Hello, everyone!

I'd like to introduce myself again. It's been so long since last time we spoke.
I'm Susie, a sixteen year old girl with a love for Star Wars, vlogbrothers, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  I also enjoy Jane Austen, chai tea, astrophysics, So You Think You Can Dance, and The Sims 3.  I'd classify myself as Neutral Good, and I tend to play healers in D&D. (Elven healers, to be more precise.) I love my family very much and enjoy learning. I read constantly, and I hope to blog more over the summer and continuing into next year. I play the cello, dance, and volunteer at my local library. TTFN (Ta Ta For Now)

Chorus of the Day!

And in the end
I'd do it all again
I think you're my best friend
Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright
I'll be yours
When it rains it pours
Stay thirsty like before
Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright

Last Chorus of the Day:
Delilah by Florence + the Machine
