Commercials: They Have a Good Side

Okay, so I will explain the title in a moment. But first of all, more important business.

DEV PATEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I am calm. But needless to say, the Academy Awards were awesome in every sense of the word possible. I laughed, I cried, I laughed so hard I started crying. And I got stalked by a creepy jumbo carboard cut out and had to run away in heels. It was muy bueno.

Okay anywho, the commercial thing.
Today "Penguin" from Otis' blog, and my other friend Kimmey (yes the one that loves cardigans and got married to Whosie-whatsie-dude-face.) made some pretty sick commercials today. Actually we hardly did, we just goofed off. But does that make it any less awesome? I thinkith notith.

Oh and Otis, the theories will live on.

Love, (you too Dev. Gosh you look good in a tux.)

I'm ALIIIIIIVE!!

Well, I don't think any of you read Otis/Megs/Kirit's blog but they've been talking about me basically non-stop. Yes, I got my appendix out. Yes, I'm fine. No, It doesn't hurt.
Bottom Line: Hospital's SUCK.
Anyhoo, Mandy, good luck with your surgery, when they wake you up every two hours to take your blood pressure, don't say I didn't warn you.
"Oh, dear, your blood pressure is 86 over 60! That's low!!"
"No duh, I've been sleeping. It's 2am."
But in other news, I have no other news!! Ahhh I crack myself up...

Oh, btw, Mandy, I know what you're playing in band next!! I had to copy it today and then mail it to Camarado. =)

I really want a brownie right now....

NAME CHANGE!!! and other less important stuff.

I changed the name and the URL. I'll keep the old URL up with a link to the new one but I got annoyed at the old name. Obviously, if you found this then.....you know. But anyway.

Okay so I've just decided: FRENCH POP IS COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY AWESOME. That is all. Uh....Scroll down to see Kimmey lost in the snow and that's about it. Ta ta for now!!

Oh NOOOOO!!!!!

OH NO!!! TERRIBLE NEWS!!!!
KIMMEY IS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITH NO POWER! SHE'S SNOWED IN?!!?
WHATEVER WILL WE DO?!

Poor Kimmey. I can picture her now.
Curled up in the fetal position, no books, no puppy.
Hopefully she has enough cardigans to keep her warm.

Good luck Kimmey. We'll miss you.

Love (especially the new music I bought on iTunes.)

REJECTION!!! It buuuuurns. Not really.

Well, I was expecting that but it still came as a sort of shock. I guess I had been hoping even when I had told myself not to. I don't listen to myself very well. Anyway, I opened my email and saw that tell-tale email. Saaad. Well I decided that instead of getting all technical-y and trying to get an agent, I'll just go straight to publisher--when I'm good and ready. (That way, I won't blow it again) I figure I'll practice on some random agents. hahaha. And if I get accepted well, badabing!! Killing 2 birds with 1 stone here.

Now, for the more important part of this post. HALEY!!!!! That agent you told me to submit to? Ha, WRONG PERSON!! Maureen Johnson and Meg Cabot's agent is Lexa Hillyer. Niiice, Nelson. Oh, and, btw, she now works for Razorbill and she's looking for "...chick lit, realistic fiction for girls and some paranormal stories, but is always looking for the next great thing with a fresh story, fun hook and impressive prose." So, What. Now.
*grumble grumble* must print story for ex credit now. And kill the virus on my computer. Poor thing, didn't have a chance. DIE! It's the curse of the trojan. Its a virus AND our school mascot.

How. Could. I. Be. So. Absolutley. Completley. RETARDED????

I. Forgot. A. Query. Letter.
*hits self on forehead*
Don't worry though, readers, I shall resend, claiming my mistake (thx megan) and then apologize. And send into like 50 other agents.
But there's actually one publisher that might actually look at my unsolicited manuscript. And that publisher is? Well, you may have heard of Razorbill. They publish half of my favorite books.
1) Audrey, Wait
2) 13 Reasons Why
Well, if you email them a query letter, an outline/synopsis and 3 sample chapters, they'll respond in APPROXIMATELY 8 WEEKS. That's really not that bad. Some other publishers take like 15 weeks. How long does it take to scan through a manuscript? I mean, really, 15 weeks? It takes me about 2 days to read a book and I read slow. Ask anyone.

Anxiety. Problems. AH!

Having sent into a place where they do awesomeness aka a literary agent's office, I'm completely freaking out. Calm. Calm. Calm.

Who am I kidding? I CAN'T BE CALM AT A TIME LIKE THIS...or ever.
But still, I am waiting for a reply and if I get one, I'm screwed.
Oh My Goth, I'm not done yet. Fret fret. Panic panic.

On top of that, I've got an alienated best friend, a geometry final and a creep after me again! HOW DO I HAVE TIME FOR ALL OF THIS??

Well, not to ramble again but...OH MY GOTH!!! Why did I do this to myself?

Haley, I blame you.

This is One of My Favorite Thinnnnngs.

Song Quote!
Anywho, I love the following video for many reasons.

One- It has Elmo in it. And anyone that does not love Elmo has problems. And I WILL find them.
Two- It has John Mayer in it. JOHN MAYER!!!!!!! MY HUSBAND.... or atleast one of them.
Three- IT HAS ELMO ANNNND JOHN MAYER IN IT. TOGETHER!!!!! Four- It's cute as heck. *sigh* Life is good.

So here it is. The video of all videos. Or... the ones lacking British Guys.

Love (John Mayer and Elmo included.)

Writers Bleed Ink

You know, sometimes I wonder (when I'm staring blankly into space), "Why is that object getting bigger even though I'm not moving?"
And then it hits me. Quite literally.
Anyhoo, I've also got this theory, I've been thinking that if you're a writer of some sort or whatever then the writing gene must flow through your veins. Then I got thinking, if writing is in your blood does that mean we bleed ink? Those of us that write, anyway.
But really!! I feel like checking but I'm not in any way emo so I'll just wait till some freak pushes me down in P.E. again. Then I'll know...

I have three new favorite songs that everyone should listen to. Just because.
1) Everything I Ask For by Maine
2) Cross My Heart by Marianas Trench
3) Just Another One by Rocket to the Moon

Believe me, they're all awesome. Anyway, let's all go out and use lemons and limes to fight some of the evil doings in our world, this time in the form of some creepy dude approaching a 13 year old in our neighborhood. C'mon, people, this isn't that hard.
KIDS + KIDS = LOVE THAT WON'T LAST
ADULTS + ADULTS = LOVE THAT WILL PROBABLY END UP IN DIVORCE (as much as no one wants to admit it, it's so true these days)
KIDS + ADULTS = FREAKING FREAKY

Just say no, people, really.
