Call of a New Tomorrow

Sometimes I wish I wasn't me. I know what they say. "Everyone is beautiful" or " You will find love someday" But I don't see it. I don't feel it. I wish I could be as beautiful as those other girls. The tall skinny ones who have all the right clothes, and have the perfect bodies,and the perfect hair. I feel ugly in this world overruled with the idea that everyone has to be super skinny and super beautiful...Why can't I be beautiful? Why can't I have the boy of my dreams? Why can't I find my place? I wish that tomorrow would come, and change me into that beautiful girl......That perfect girl....

Nebula's Eyes

In English we are in a short story unit. I came up with a great story that I am so proud of. I felt the need to share an exerpt from it. So here you go. It's called Nebula's Eyes.

Nebula’s Eyes

I am Scarlet. I am your not so average eighteen year old girl living in the small town of Averill, Vermont. I shop in vintage outlets,write poetry at the park,and take long walks to think about the meaning of life. I may sound like some movie cliche outcast, but what you don’t know is that I am just like you. I have feelings. They get hurt like yours, they activate when something happens, like yours. Bad things happen in my life like yours. Good things happen in my life like yours. You see where I am heading with this? Well I am here to tell you my story they way I do best. Through Poetry...
Nebula
A bursting explosion
Heat and color swirl around
Combining to one
Memory is shattered
Fragments of hope float into space
Why must you die?
You were so beautiful
My eyes watch in sorrow
As you bury my tomorrow

It was a crystal clear morning in November. As usual I woke up to check on my mom. You see she has Lou Gehrig's disease. She can not fend for herself in this world,so I must take care of her.
“ Mom how are you this morning?” I asked her
“ Oh just fine dear. Are you going to write me another poem this afternoon?” my mother wearily asked.
“ Yes Mom,but after we get you settled first.”
As I move throughout the morning I see in my mothers eyes a world of pain. A world of suffering. When she looks at me I can tell that she is seeing the same in me.
“Honey, I need to talk to you.” mama said. I made my way over to the soft linen bed where she lay, unable to move her legs.“ I just want you to know that I am so proud of everything you have done. Your poems speak to people, and they make me smile everyday when you make them for me. They can change the world, Scarlet. I hope you know that. So someday when I am at peace with God I want you to know that I will be with you. Watching over you.” At this point tears began to roll down her smooth face. Her eyes were like Nebula’s. They were exploding with emotion, the hope that was once in them was starting to dissipate. All I could do was watch her eyes. They were captivating me. Pulling me in further to her world of pain. Something I couldn’t go into. I began to pull my way out of them. Telling her that I loved her,and that she would be with me for a long time. I wouldn’t let God pull her away.
With that I kissed her on the forehead,and walked downstairs to grab my journal full of poetry, on the cover a bright star resembling the brightness of my future, my mother told me. I grabbed my slouchy sweater and headed out the door. Walking to the park that was across the street. I looked back like I always did to see my mother looking out the window. Seeing all the bright orange and yellow Autumn trees. Seeing the ducks swim together. Seeing life move on as hers was slowly moving back. I made my way to the huge boulder by the pond. This is were I got all of my inspiration from to write poetry. As time clicks on in the real world, time in my world moves like the breeze. Poem by poem I write. Some about the symbolism of leaves falling from the tree, and some about the cruel reality of life. However I always made sure to write a cheerful poem for my mother. Maybe one about the vast secrets of the universe,or perhaps one about the stars. She was in love with space. She had always dreamed of being an Astronomer,and for some time she was one. Until we found out that she had the disease. It claimed her legs,and then started to affect her arms. Now she sits at home, looking at the stars through a telescope each night that I have to help her reach. The depression starts to sink in my veins, so I decide to head back to the house, with the new poem in hand. It sounds pretty good to me.

Outer Imagination

The universe is a vast hole of imagination
Growing ever so steadily everyday
But there are still secrets that we don’t know
For instance how far does it go?
I suppose that’s for us to find
If we could use our minds

Waling back across the street to our home I wonder what the rest of the day will entail. Maybe I will put on her favorite astronomy video. Her vast collection will have good choices. The walk up the stairs brings a sudden fear in my heart. Something isn’t right. “ Mom!” I yell “Mom!” I nearly trip over my Oxfords as I tumble into her room to find my mother with her eyes closed on her bed. I lift her hand to feel to my surprise an icy sting. Her lifeless body was still. No blood pumping into her heart. No longer giving it life. My body becomes limp as I fall to the shag carpet screaming. I lift the phone out of my pocket and dial 911.

So this is part of my story. It is not finished yet, but I can't wait to finish it. I hope you like it! Please tell me what you think! Don't be shy. Have a Happy Blogging weekend!

Stand



Stand An original Poem by Hannah Gato

There comes a time in all our lives...
Where we want to fall
But we must stand, and take a chance
Will the world remember you at all... if you fall?
Our faith within must let us win
We can work this out
Hold your head up high, up towards the sky
The sun will shine on you
So feel its rays, and accept those days
Where nothing went right
And from now on, you will be strong
And remember that if you fall..
You must stand

Yes Houstons I do have a problem, and it's called frustration rearing its ugly head (if that makes any sense.) A lot of things in my life have been giving me that feeling. Some Family issues,friend issues,school issues, you name it it's an issue. I feel sort of overwhelmed... I just want to explode like a star




BAM!!!!!!!!

I just exploded........ You see that star right there? It symbolizes me.......exploding.......

Freedom is mine!!!.....In 4 days...

The lock is being opened slowly and I can almost get out of this prison we call school. This week is my last week in confinement, and don't you sometimes feel trapped? We are locked up there for six hours five days a week, where they have robots for teachers who shoot graphic organizers, and homework out of their arms just for fun... *Wham* essay *bam* world history project *zing* 6 page math packet. I say enough is enough. We already have to do finals, so why are you giving us more work? hey, on most of my work I just doodle anyway, and yet maintain a honor roll status. Here is a doodle I have done.



Octopus with a Balloon!!! :D I am so talented!

I have been studying like crazy for the finals. I have three tomorrow then three the next day then two the next day. I am so excited for summer that I can hardly wait. The anticipation is killing me! Camping, swimming, being free!!! So how is your prison life? When do you get out? Thank you for reading, and remember to follow and tell your friends! Have a happy blogging day!

Spring Cleaning finds treasures

It is that time of year at my house! You can probably already guess what it is that's right it is winning the LOTTERY! No I kid :), it's Spring cleaning time.Some have already done this, but hey I swim against the tide.



So as I have been cleaning my room I have discovered some items that I lost a long time ago, such as MY CAMERA CHARGER!! I was so happy to find this thing, because I have not been able to take pictures which stinks. I love my camera even though it is not that of a quality. Oh well at least I have one that's all that matters :) I also found some old jewelry, diaries from when I was in elementary school, pieces to games, fun things like that. I also found some stupid things like a letter one of my old friends ( who is not my friend anymore and I am glad they are not, because they have a big ego and are very rude) which said " if Hannah opens this she will be a girly girl forever and be a dung beetle in her next life. I opened and read it...I guess her black magic didn't work. People can be so mean and strange. I also found a plate my sister Anna and I got that said Jesus is not here...he has risen.....I laughed my pants off. I have no clue why her and I bought the thing.It is a good memory to have though :)
So have you guys been Spring cleaning yet? Find any thing worth while or stupid as can be? I would love to hear about it. Tell your friends about my blog! And please visit again! have a happy blogging day!

Neon Trees and Trampolines

What do Neon Trees and Trampolines have in common? They are both amazing and fantastic! So let me go on and tell you why.

This week on Wednesday my mother won two tickets to see the Neon Trees play live in The Coast 893.1's lounge ( which is a radio station.) We got to see them play live!!!!! And Oh my they sounded so good live unlike most bands, cough cough Black Eyed Peas cough cough. Anyway I went to school not knowing that my mom had won the tickets ( and by the way I am an huge fan of Neon Trees.) My mom had called the school to say that I had an "appointment" well she didn't lie I did have an appointment.....with Neon Trees :)
I went out of school, and when I went to my mom she told me that I was getting shots... I hate shots...She laughed and said " No we are going to see Neon Trees!" Do you know how excited I was? I can't even type how excited I was. Anyway we went there and got some free lunch, and then it was time to hear the Neon trees play live in the radios lounge!! When they came in I cheered so loud everyone looked over, what can I say I love the Neon Trees! They played Animal, Your Surrender, and Sins of My Youth! My favorite is Your Surrender. They played it slower then it is on the CD's. Here is a clip of them singing Animal. http://bcove.me/58fi3v00
Here are some pictures of them!



This is Tyler Glenn the lead singer in Neon Trees



This is Elaine Bradley who does drums, percussion, and vocals



These two guys are Chris Allen who plays Guitar and Branden Campbell who does bass guitar and vocals



And this is me with the band! They were so nice, and their music sounded great! Tis was something I will never forget ever! By the way sorry it took so long to post I was waiting for the pictures to come back!

And finally next trampolines. Most people love trampolines like this girl! So this weekend I had a sleepover at my friend Nicole's house with her and another friend named Kirstin! We all worked on Nicole's and my English project. We made a video and I can assure you that it was very funny! So that night we slept on her trampoline! We jumped and talked on it for a long time! Sleeping on a trampoline with friends is def something you must do sometime in your life! Well we didn't sleep on it all night...It did get pretty cold so we ended up going inside... Next sleepover we will try again!

Thank you for reading my blog and remember to follow and tell your other followers to come and take a look! Have a happy blogging day!

Technology and Me

I am sorry for not posting in awhile, but I had some problems with my technology. have I ever mentioned that I absolutely hate computers sometime? Well I do..most of the time...
My computer had been giving me warning like this...



And my confused face came on like this...



So after the warning came up a million times it finally said it was full, and it would no log me into my computer, so thus I had no internet -___-
As you can see now I am up and running again. But just so you know I am not the person to ask about any type of technology....EVER... You can go to these people right here



Indeed I know they are only children. but they probably know more than me since they all have macs....What has this world come to?

Healthy Living

My friend and I decided that we want to live healthier lives, so we started to eat healthier and exercise more. Are plan is to do this five week exercise program that came in a seventeen magazine. Our goal is to become healthier people and get in shape. I think it will be a good thing to do. I have been quite lazy since my last sports season was over. I even gained time on my mile this spring :/ opps...

I think that it is important to live a healthy life. If all you do is hide away inside and be unhealthy than you will lead that into your future. I want to live a happy healthy life. So what do you like to do to stay healthy? Do you ride your bike or go for a swim? My favorite thing to do id either take a long walk or go swimming! I haven't done either in a little while. Maybe I will do that soon!

Every Penny counts

At the beginning of this month I started to save change in a fish piggy bank at my house. I have been putting in all my change from after I might have gone to the mall, or out to eat, or anything like that. I have periodically been keeping track of how much money has been in this bank, and the total today is ten dollars and five cents ($10.05)which is a lot of change in my opinion.



Crappy computer photo of my change bank.. :(


At this moment I have no clue what I am saving up for. Maybe a shopping spree, or a new camera, or anything really. I should really start a bank account soon to hold all my money in. I just need to start saving for future finances and such. I want to make sure I have some money in case of emergencies or anything. Yea this is a boring post, but it was on my mind tonight.

Personal Style

Everyone knows that saying " Everyone has their own style." I have been trying to find my own style for a long time, and I never really knew what I liked. When it comes to buying clothes I see things I like, but most of the time I try it on and I think it either doesn't look good or I just can't buy it. I have no clue why I do this but I really put myself down when it comes to it. I want to change this about me and let my creative, sun loving spirit show through what I wear. Recently I have been looking at some clothing sites, and I have really fallen in love with a lot of items from a Store Called Forever XII (21.) For example here are some things I like...


I absolutely am in Love with this dress!



I need this bag!



One of the cutest skirts ever!



Amazing shirt!



Another beautiful shirt!

So these are just a few of the many things I saw and liked from that store. You can bet that I am going to be shopping there more often! I classify myself as more of an Indie type of style now. I have looked at that fashion type, and I fell in love with it. I am glad that I am starting to discover some new things about me. For a while now it seems to me as I am starting to change my ways and find a new me, but in a good sort of change that I think is good for me.

So what type of style do you have? What is your favorite clothing store? Do you feel like it is ok to change sometimes? I am looking forward to see your answers. Have a happy blogging day!
