Getting America's Best Dance Crew Tickets

    So yesterday my sister told me if i could find tickets to America's Best Dance Crew, she would fly us to California and we'd go together and stay a weekend or so. So me, whos always wanted to go to CA, jumped online to MTV.com and checked it out. I didn't expect what i was about to find out. 

     Believe it or not, tickets to be on the show are free. Don't get excited, because there are major draw backs. The biggest one is that you don't just "get tickets", you "request them". The information below says that you may or may NOT get the tickets you requested, and if you DO get them, you get an email within the WEEK of the day your supposed to be there. Now how are you supposed to schedule a flight and a hotel with that kind notice? There are other problems too, like the fact that don't let you request more than 3 tickets at once, and the worst part is to come. Get this, as if i wasn't already turned off by the way they work the tickets, below there was a section that you had to fill out called "Casting Call". I figured it was for the people in the crews that actually want to get on the show, but no. They want everyone who is sitting in the audience to look right! Seriously, you had to give them your ethnicity, hair and eye color, your height, your gender, and your weight along with your request. Now, you know that means they're looking through them and seeing who sounds like they fill the criteria to have their faces on camera! The absolute WORST part was the options they gave for what "body type" you were. I swear to god, the options were :

Slender

Average

Athletic 

More to Love

Body Builder

Little Extra

  That took the cake. As much as i love the show, it totally discouraged me from wanting to go, and i didn't even bother filling out the request. How messed up is that?!?! I won't stop watching the show from home, but i don't think i'll be going to see it live if they want you to look small and pretty. No thanks Mtv, it was worth a try i guess.

Today's Thoughts

-So You Think You Can Dance is not even in the same category as American Idol, which is the most annoying show i've ever had to grit my teeth and watch. 

-Phillip Chbeeb is my hero, and one of the best dancers i've ever had the pleasure of watching. He's my new love. :D Click here and you'll understand a bit more. 

-Michael Jackson is a legend, and its so surreal he's gone. 

-I seem to be the only one who thinks that transformers 2 was really really good. Not as good as the first though. Nothing can compare to that level of awesome. 

-Movies i can't wait for : Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (read all the books, WHOS with me?! lol), New Moon (Twilight), And Step Up 3D. 

-After considering it for a few months, a dance movie in 3D is not nearly as cheesy as it first sounded. Head spins and air flares in 3D?!? Awwwwwwww yea.

-It doesn't really matter if step up 3 is 3d or not, if adam sevani AND twitch (so you think you can dance last season) are gonna be in it, you know i'll be there opening night. 

-I HATE mosquito bites. Who gave them the permission anyway?

Those are my random thoughts for the day. I hope you enjoyed :D

Graduation, Jacob Black's Injury-Inflicting Deliciousness, and Epic-ly Sprained ankles..

This is gonna be short because i dont feel like typing, but i figured i'd tell you that im graduating in 2 days, and my dance is tomorrow. Oh..and i sprained my ankle. Badly. Well thank god for my wolf-ie healing powers, because it happened yesterday, and today i can move my foot in a full circle and it doesn't hurt :DDDD I'd post a picture, but its pretty gruesome. Oh, and i blame it on Jacob Black. Why? Because i was at my friend's huge graduation party, and she put on Twilight on mute in the background. Me, being a huge nerd whose read all the books and seen the movie literally over 10 times, freaked out when Jacob came on screen like i always do..only this time when i jumped up in exuberance, i landed wrong. 

oh, and i think its cruel that we had to wear our graduation gowns and caps for a school liturgy. Is it me or is that a big tease or what?! It like "Please stand graduates. Oh yea...and your not graduating for......about a week so don't get too excited." lol, Punk. whatever, im leaving that school now! WOOT! 

I'm gonna be sssoo nervous in highschool, its not even funny. Totally gonna walk in with tapped glasses, a plaid jacket (complete with a gigantic backpacK!), and like a batman comic book like "What up my brethren?" lol, 

so basically, my post is summed up with the following grammatically incorrect run on sentence: 

I have mixed feelings on graduating, gonna be a nerd in high school the moment i walk in, and jacob black unintentionally inflicts ankle injuries to the unexpecting victim...

Awkward!!!!!!

So tonight i have to go to my future highschool. You know, freshman orientation kind of stuff. Now don't get me wrong, i really, really REALLY wanna graduate and head off to high school. But my desire to go to this orientation is like...50 percent. Why?Well I'll tell you why. 

I don't like meeting people for the first time. I actually kind of hate it. Once again, don't get me wrong, i love being around people and laughing and all that jazz. But meeting people for the first time is the most awkward, uncomfortable thing i've ever had to do. It's like :

"Hi."

"Hi"

"so......"

"how's that weather?"

"dude, it's raining."

"uh..i know."

"ok."

"so....."

      Something along those lines.

 You see what i mean? it's like, some form of torture. What do you want me to say to you? I don't know you dude. Why should i be forced to talk to you under these incredibly awkward conditions? Agh! i'm such a freak, lol. Well whatever, i don't like introductions. Sue me. But honestly, theres nothing to say! If you ask a random question like "what do you like to do in your free time?" it makes no sense in the situation. So thats out. Now you could take the family route and be like "hows your family?", but with my luck, the kid's mom probably just died in a tragic horse accident or something, and the poor kid would run off crying. Its no use. It just HAS  to awkward. But than the second time you meet them, they're like "OH HEY! WAT UP??!" and your thinking "why weren't you this enthusiastic the first time?!" and do you wanna know the answer? THEY felt awkward! Its a big chain or misfortune really.. and until you man up and say hi the second time, the only memory you'll have of that person is awkward silence. 

     Than again, I'm just being weird, like always. If your confident, and don't make the situation weird by feeling nervous, they're not shy either. And there you have a non-weird introduction to a relationship with someone. So why can't i just do it? The only answer is because i'm scared. So I'm going to try my best to walk into that school tonight, say hi and talk to every person i meet, and take away the awkward silence for the other kids that feel the exact same way. I just hope i don't chicken out....

Ahhhh...

i am simply LOVING this weather! I've been outside all day. Reading, listening to music, going on my ripstick, etc. Fantastic. I'm actually looking forward to the summer for once, because i hate heat. But hey, its worth the beach trips and picnics and pool parties. Anyways, i saw Star Trek last night and it was frikkin AWESOME! Absolutely great. Like...... so great i can't wait until i can own it and see it again. Really, really good, and funny.

It's been a good weekend, and of course it has to end. I would rather lose a finger than have to return to that inferno they call school. I'm SO frikkin ready to graduate. It just won't come fast enough, and yet its too fast. But I'm ok with it. That didn't make any sense at all, but whatever. Just disregard it. I'm weird. 

Despite my oddities, I've been trying to post more on this site. I've "tweeting" on twitter, and it's oddly addicting. Did i say that in my last post? I don't know. Whatever. Gawd, I'm really scatterbrained today aren't i? I dont know why, i mean, i've been laying outside all day, so i'm tired and rambling. I'm just plain rambling. Wow, ok..i need to shut up now. Lol, ok ok, i'm gonna go and read or something. Or prepare my noose for tomorrow. :(

     ---BuTtOnS*****

Whoa

Sorry, again, but i haven't posted in forEVER! I did get a twitter though, and that was exciting. Its pretty addictive, so i advise either getting one or staying aWAy, because it will morph your mind. lol, just kidding. I'm a weird person. OH, and i advise that you people check out the youtube channel desandnate, because they're really funny. well i have to go, i just felt i should show some love :D

The Classes

   Oh. My. Gosh. The breakin (breakdancing) classes are EXTRAORDINARY. I mean it.

     Ok, so the instructors where absolutely awesome, and patient as WHOA. The people there are really supportive, and amazing at what they do. Yet...I didn't feel left out at all. I'm so glad my friend told me about it... because even though I've only been going for two weeks (1 class a week) I feel like i fit in there. It sounds corny, but i feel like i belong, and that I'm good at it. It's something i look forward to every week, and I can't wait until i get REALLY good. I'm on my way.And i might even sign up for the monthly memberships, because i have money saved up. I don't know...it could be cool to take hip hop too. At least i'm building the breakdancing background, because it gives you a lot of strength. Well, i should go. 

And by the way, never let anyone tell you that you can't do something, because anything is possible.  Once again...corny, but true. I'm in a very inspirational mood, ok? hahahaha!

                                    Well, keep trying hard new dancers!(I'm right there with ya)

                                                                        ---BuTtOnS*****

Good Morning..

                           How are you all doing on this fine morning in New York? I'm doing ok, and still very excited about tomorrow's dance adventure (read previous blog). My plans for today are still up in the air as of right now, but I'm thinking a shower, maybe some wii fit/dancing time (pathetic dancing... you know, for fun. ha ha) and than maybe a little bit of quality time with good old Sasha (my ripstick.. which is like a skateboard). Later on my sister has the intentions of going to a local AC Moore for some craft materials, and hopefully I'll tag along. 

       

                          I'm not exactly pimping a ten pound wallet, but I'd like to check out this book on designing graphic journals. It may sound dumb to some, but it showed simple tricks like using a metro card dipped in black ink to make a cool, edgy design on the side of a page.. and stuff like that. It was just very entertaining, especially when you love arts and crafts, and anything to do with the paint splattered, graffiti, street design look. I love that, especially when its on clothing like hoodies and shoes. You know, art like the picture I've put above. That kind of graphic art is just so awesome to me. 

                Well, i hope you all have an exciting and creative day. Do something you don't normally do, because if you don't you'll always wonder what it would have been like if you did. 

                                                                               ---BuTtOnS*****

Hey Again

                      Sigh.... my current boredom right now is unmeasurable. I'm glad to be on vacation, but i have a horrifying math test awaiting my return, as well as an equally horrifying teacher. That is definitely not luscious. Or as the Quileutes from la push would say.... "was taxak asi". That means "not so hot". Ah.... such a cool language. I promise all of you readers out there that i will go there. There, as well as L.A. They seem like odd places to wish to visit, but La Push, Washington is because of my Twilight series addiction, and L.A is because of its calm and cool kind of theme, and also the people there. I also confess that favorite bands and celebrities may be part of the reason. But whatever, call it stupid if you want. I'll go there one day. 

                     I also have high expectations for this free class for breakdancing(maybe/hopefully hip hop) i found at a local YMCA. It sounds really awesome, and i here that there are about 25 kids there. I'm very excited, but also nervous. Knowing my clumsy self, I'll probably fall down in the middle of something simple. And also, these kids probably have a lot of experience. And I don't know how the class will play out, meaning I'm not sure if this is pretty much a place where kids who know how to do it go and freestyle, or they teach you moves step by step. I'm hoping its the second. Thats why i have to go a little bit earlier to play 20 questions whoever teaches the class. Haha! I also want to know if the place holds a hip hop class, because thats more of what I'm into. I'm also dragging my cousin along, since i don't feel like flipping over and snapping my neck in a room full of complete strangers. I really have high hopes for this though, because who has the money to pay for classes at all of these high end studios?! Not me, I can tell you that. 

                    Well, everyone pray that the class isn't a bust, and the same for my spine. 

                                                                                  I'll tell you how it was,

                                                                                                    ---BuTtOnS***** 

Gee Willikers...

             I haven't posted in about 2 million years. Sorry about that, guys. In any case, i have been a little pre-occupied. School is completely annoying, seeing as every teacher is flinging reports and projects around like nothing. Not to mention the tests, and my incredibly horrible math teacher, whom i wish would crawl in a hole and never, ever come out again. 

            In other news, i have a dance later on tonight. I got a red top and a contrasting black half-vest to go with the Valentine's Day theme. Its ok, but Im sure i'll like it all better when my hair is done and im dressed and accessorized. I kind of looked like a hot mess when i tried it on in the store. Maybe i'll throw in my "team jacob" pin as well. So yea, i hope that works out. 

           Also, wish me luck, because on monday i have to recite a 2 and a half page speech for my English class. Its a good thing i like it, or I'd never get a good grade on that thing...
