String Of Lights

Hey! What's up? Hope you're all doing well!!


Alright, so I got some requests on formspring to talk a little more about my social life and everything, so I guess I will.

Well, today I stayed home sick. Boo. D: My dad and I both have some sort of flu or something. I'm gonna go to school tomorrow, though, since it's only a half day.


I have a few things to talk about, so I guess I'll start.. uh, two weeks ago?

Well, as you all know, I was submiting an audition for a TV show through an agent in LA, which I have been planning on meeting for a while. They did not end up sending the audition.. It's complicated. Technically, they didn't have the audition for me, they just wanted to see me act in it. They had one other girl that they were already planning on submiting for, so they sent her instead. But, good things still came out of it. The head of the agency said he really liked me, thought I was really good, but wants to see more tape on me (that was the first thing of me he'd seen on film, so the fact that he wants to see more is REALLY good, cause it means he definitley has interest!) and that he absolutely loves my look! So, that's kind of exciting(: I'm going to shoot a real reel for them tomorrow in my private lesson with Marla, and then we'll see what happens next!
So, that's what's happening in my acting life, I suppose. :P

Um, my social life now?
Well, this weekend was, obviously, Halloween weekend. My best friend from school, Ellee, stayed the whole weekend, cause her mom's working in LA. We went shopping on Friday after school, then went to my film class, my improv show at school, and the school's Halloween dance on Saturday, and then went to church and my church's fall festival on Sunday! Haha, it was a typical crazy Sweet weekend, but we had a ton of fun. (:

It's a really strange feeling to me, having friends at school. No offense to any of you Centennialites with whom I hung out with for the past three years, but I never really had any real friends all throughout middle school. I mean, there were the people I talked to while I was at school, but with the exception of very few, I never hung out with any of them outside of school. And most of my "friends" just talked really bad behind my back and spread rumors and made me feel so incredibly worthless. I was definitely bullied in middle school. But it was very, very, very hidden. So hidden that I'm not even sure all of my hundreds of bullies realized what they were doing to me. That was a very hard time in my life. But it's nice to actually have some real friends from school. It's very refreshing.

Now, boys? Haha. I keep getting all of these requests and questions on formspring, and so I guess I should be talking about them on here so you don't have to ask, right?!

Well, there is this guy (different guy from my past couple posts and formspring) who I've had a thing for since my first day of school...... But I'm terrified to admit it. I don't want to give too much away, but he's adorable. And very, very intellectual. And mysterious... And charming. And I look forward to the hour and a half I get to spend with him every other morning. I wish it lasted longer!
But I'm pretty sure nothing is going to come of it, which really depresses me. Cause he's what I'm looking for. Like, pretty much exactly. At least what I know of him. I don't know if I should tell him how I feel or ask him to hang out.. Or what! It's kind of a complicated situation, too. Cause I'm definitely not the only girl who has a thing for him. But there's something about him that's so incredibly interesting.
And, I'm not going to say what he said cause that would SO give it away, but last week he said the CUTEST thing to me.. Which makes me wonder what he thinks of me...?
Anyway, I think that's all I'm going to say about him tonight. :P


Now, as you probably know, in addition to acting, I really want to write. Be a novelist, screenwriter, playwright, songwriter, poet... All of it. I just LOVE writing. It's very similar to acting, for me at least. But I love it.
And I plan on at least attempting to publish at least one book by the time I'm eighteen. I have so many crazy ideas.. But, as you also may know, I'm kind of obsessed with Christmas. And so I've actually come up with a really pretty Christmas story. My goal is for it to be a Christmas story that people my age read... And I want it to make people fall in love with Santa Claus again. Because I hate how once you reach a certain age it becomes socially unacceptable to still love and believe in Santa Claus. It's dumb. Yeah, I was the kid in fourth grade who got teased for still believing in him!
But I want people to realize it's okay, you know? So, that's what this story's for. It's all about a widowed man and his seventeen year old daughter and their charming, quirky, crazy relationship and his quest to find Santa and her journey of falling in love... I'm not going to give much else away right now. I will at some point, don't worry. But it's working title is "String of Lights." I'm really excited about it!


Anyway, I think that's just about it..
So, without further wait...


SONG: "Enchanted," Taylor Swift (my favorite from the new album.)

LINE: "I was enchanted to meet you... Please don't be in love with someone else, please don't have somebody waiting on you."


This song is all about meeting a guy for the first time and you just fall for them right then and there. There's just something about them that's so incredibly charming and enchanting and you hope that it's not the end of your story together. And you hope he's not in love with someone else. Well, this whole song is definitley how I felt about mystery guy up there when I first met him. And partially how I still feel, I suppose.
It's such a cute, sweet, perfect song. I love it.

And I really was enchanted to meet you, sir.
