A New Discovery

So I was on the iPad, on Pinterest, and I found a board of someone I follow. It's titled Babysitting and Pet-sitting, so I decided to check it out! Well I did and it took me to this awesome blog that had a lot of babysitting information. I really like that part because I hope to babysit maybe this December, so that's going to be really helpful! That's my discovery just in case you didn't know I know not everyone likes babysitting so that would be boring to them but now to me! :) Today my mom is going to Des Moines with her friend, to look at her friend's wedding dress. I'm going to have to babysit my brother with my twin sister, but I'm hopefully going to get a few things done. Here's my agenda:

• Finish cleaning room
• Put dishes in dishwasher
• Do a load or two of dishes with my sister
• Start cleaning basement
• Change guinea pig bedding

So that's everything I want to accomplish, I'm probably going to start on that list soon. Later, I'll tell you what I've been able to cross off the list!

Apology

I'm really sorry I haven't posted for a few days, it's just that I've been really busy. How have you all been? I finished my Social Studies assignment just now, and now I've got a homework-free weekend! I'm going to clean my room though, and possibly get a new bike! That's my birthday present from my parents- a bike. There's this old-fashioned Schwinn that I really want, but if I can't get that one, then there's a couple others I really like too. Eventually, my goal is to be able to ride my bike all the way to my friend's house, and my cousin's. They live kind of far away so it'll be hard, but I think it will be worth the effort. Maybe I can even ride it to school! I have a daily routine, and I don't like having it disrupted, so that'll be one of the harder things. Comment and tell me about your bikes- I really want to hear from you!

Also, I saw a Scholastic post/update thing, and it was a blog thingy through Scholastic, I looked at it, and it's really cool! I haven't been through the whole thing, but I recommend it for everyone, boy or girl!

I'M AT SCHOOL

So I'm at school, and I thought I'd do a quick post in my free time. I didn't get my candy bar, because my band teacher was too busy. :( But hopefully tomorrow! Well, I've got to go, sorry this was so short.
-LizzyBeth

Off To See the School

I'm going to school soon, but I wanted to do a post today, even if it is a short one. Today in band, I might get a candy bat! Our band teachers challenged us that if we could play the chromatic scale from memory, without messing up, then we got a candy bar of our choice! I did it on my birthday, but I think I'm going to get the candy bar today. He said that he wanted to wait until we had more people earning them before he got them, so he didn't have to make a ton of trips to Walgreens. Keep in mind there's like 70 kids in my band class. I'll tell you guys tonight if I got the candy bar!

Question

This is for everyone who sees this blog!
So you know how my mom has lupus? Well, I was thinking about planning a Lupus Awareness thingy. I don't know if I should call it celebration or party, but it'd be in a public place that's free to use- I don't have the kind of money needed to rent out a place. I've already got some of it planned, but now I need to plan the details, which means a ton of lists! Hahaha but anyway, thank you! Comment what you think, and spread the word about this blog, especially this post; it's kind of really important to me!

Lupus

So a while back I said I would do a post about lupus and here it is! It's in purple because that's the color for lupus. So basically what lupus is is a disease that makes your body produce antibodies to kind of fight off stuff that you need, like tissue, and that causes pain and inflammation in your joints. My mom's face gets red but I guess that's really common with lupus. On Glee where Sue Sylvester can't bend over a bucket of Vamoose- that's not lupus. NOT NOT NOT NOT. The links I have are full of information, if you want to know more, check them out!

So that's all I know about lupus, thanks for reading this- spread the word about this! I'd like to dedicate this to my mom because even though she has this she's always there for us, no matter what she's going through. Love you mom! Some people might say that because she doesn't look sick she isn't, but until you've been in her body for a month, don't say anything, because until you've done that, you don't KNOW anything about what my mom goes through.

Excitement!

So today, my grandmother (she doesn't like being called Grandma for reasons of her personal business) is taking us to get our birthday present! She won't tell us anything about it, except we're going to love it and if we tried to guess, we never would. I'm really excited, but before we leave, I'm going to ask her how we need to dress up. I'll tell you guys what it was after we get back! Love you all! <3

Another Random Post :)

I'm not really sure what this post is going to be about, I'll just write as the words come to me :) TODAY IN BAND I HAD THE FIRST VERBAL CONVERSATION ALL YEAR WITH THE GUY I LIKE YAYAYAYAYAYAY I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW. In band, we have this thingy called the chromstic scale, and I played it from memory without messing up,so the teachers are going to buy my a candy bar! I got Cadbary (I don't think I spelled it right #sorrynotsorry) which is a British chocolate. The band teaches haven't gotten them yet because they're waiting for more people, but I'll let you guys know when I do get it!! Love you all!

MISS AMERICA

As I am typing, THE MISS AMERICA PAGEANT JUST STARTED OH YEAH BET YOUR GUMMY BEARS I'M GLUED TO THE TV. I can't wait to see Miss Iowa! I was going to post a video of it, but my TV isn't loud enough and if I turned it up I'd get in trouble. I'm so happy I get to watch it for an hour yay! I'm way excited for this omg I didn't think I would be this happy! Got to go, the pageant is calling me OMG THERE'S AN IOWA SIGN SOMEONE LOVES US YAYAYAYAYAY GTG CHEER FOR MISS IOWA LOVE YOU. MISS IOWA IS SO GORGEOUS I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT.
-LizzyBeth

Celebrating

I downloaded the program for my band book I wanted on my mom's computer yay! Sadly I can't try it out yet because 3 people are sleeping so yeah.

I've got 4 or 5 really teenager girl-y boards on Pinterest- Teenage Posts, Girly Thigns, My Teenage Heart, Outfits/Accessories I Like, Sister Salon, Friend Stuff, and Super White Girl Problems. Well I guess I lied- there's 7. Check them out for me if you've got an account! Here's a link to my account-
MY PINTEREST If you check it out and follow me I love you forever! So you know how I'm saving up for a shopping spree? Here's the list of stores I want to go to, nothing's finalized yet though.

• Aeropastle
• Bath and Body Works
• Claire's
• Gordman's
• Icing
• Justice

So there's my list, I don't know if there's an Aeropastle nearby though, I might save it until I go down to Iowa City though. Comment and tell me what you think! I'm just going to buy the normal stuff like clothes and jewelry but at Gordman's I might buy like maybe lights and picture frames and room accessories. I WANT MY ROOM TO BE LIKE A TUMBLR ROOM. But I don't have a Tumblr, I see pictures of TRs on Pinterest that are from Tumblr. I've got a plan though- babysit and tutor and do other stuff so then when I have a hundred dollars or something like that SHOPPING SPREE YAY! If you want, I'll take pictures of the stuff I get! Love you all forever!

My Post

This isn't going to really be about any specific thing, just a couple stories. I'm going to Cattle Congress (A big fair they have every year) tomorrow instead of the long wedding service. But I'll still go to the reception, which is what I'm really looking forward to! At the fair though, if none of my friends can come, it'll just be my sister's friend. If she can't come though, it'll still be fun, just because that's the way NCC is. (National Cattle Congress) At the wedding reception, I plan to dance because I want to start breaking out of my comfort zone and dancing in front of people is one of those things that isn't in my comfort zone. I'll take pictures and possibly upload them here!

I went to Iowa City today for my mom's lupus treatment today. It takes a while and we're not allowed to stay in the hospital where she gets it done, so we went to the nearby mall! I went to forever 21, rue 21, Vanity, and Maurice's. I went to more but they're not important to what I'm saying now. I saw more things I like within the first 30 seconds of walking into Vanity than in rue and forever combined! It was the same with Maurice's. I just find that funny because a lot of girls my age shop at rue and forever but I'm liking the stores meant for adults. However, we went to Aeropastle. I SAW SO MANY THINGS I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BUT THEY WERE TOO EXPENSIVE UGHHHH.  So anyway, because of all the wonderful things I saw, I'm saving up to go on a shopping spree!

Here's a tumblr blog for FLUTE PLAYERS YAY.

My Band Story

So this is a post I've been trying to convince myself to not post, but I finally am. I don't like the entire flute section in the school band! They're all snotty, prissy brats. Today for example, the band teacher was saying that the flutes were going too fast. So the girl I sit next to, (we'll call her 0) turned her head around, and said just really snotty stuff. I'm not allowed to post it because apparently I could get in trouble for cyber bullying (I don't understand how but whatever) This is the kind of stuff they do- think they're better than everybody else and don't let anyone have a say in anything- it's their way or the highway. The whole flute section is like that- I've got at least one friend in trumpet, french horn, clarinet, alto saxophone, trombone, tenor saxophone, oboe, and percussion. That's only tuba, baritone, bass clarinet, bassoon and baritone saxophone. The next time 0 says something like that, I'm going to stand up to her! I'll probably be attacked by 2 or 3 other girls right away, and maybe a few later, but you know what? I really couldn't care less. I'm tired of having people walk all over me while they destroy everybody for no good reason. When they try to destroy me, like a wrecking ball, they're going to hit a wall of diamond- indestructible. I want to become a better flutist than 0. It's kind of stupid, and maybe I don't have my heart set in the right place. But I want to show her that you don't have to be like her to be the best at something. By "be like her" I mean the snotty, rude, mean, hateful, dramatic popular girls. How am I going to do this? I'm going to pay for my own private lessons, which I'm currently working on, and I'll just practice a whole bunch! We don't do first chair or anything, that's not till high school. I'm in band geek mode, so now I need to talk about all things band, sorry. 

My older sister played flute from grade school to high school, and then stopped :( Anyway, when I started 5th grade, I was in band, and I had a free flute, so we just decided to play that instead of spending a ton of money on an instrument! I'm not complaining, I love flute so much, I'm glad I stuck with that. Anyway, she also played piccolo in high school, and once I find that, I want to work on learning that, because I want to play that in high school too. It takes so much more air though, it's crazy. Better start learning now! I love band so much, it's probably my favorite part of the school day. If they tried to take away band, the should expect me to put up a fight- petitions, protests, attending school board meetings, everything. I'm not going to let my band get away- my future literally depends on it. I want to be a flutist. So that's my band post, there'll probably be more, but that's it for now! Love you!

School Today

I hate my entire flute section, let me start off with that. They're all these snobby, rude prissy girls who think they're better than everybody. When the teacher says to pick what part you want to play except you can't have the same part as the person you're next to, this girl automatically decided what parts out whole row was playing. I literally have friends in every other instrument except oboe, tuba/baritone, bassoon, and bass clarinet.Well guys I didn't get to go see This Is Us this weekend, but maybe next weekend. Also I didn't get to go to the mall after Applebee's, but I was fine with that because my stomach really hurt from eating too much and then 2 hours later I still had a stomach ache. I probably won't get to see it this weekend because Friday my mom has a lupus treatment (I'll do a post dedicated to lupus later, I pinkie promise) and Saturday is my cousin's wedding! Then Sunday is CAAAAATTLE CONGRESS WOOP WOOP. I hate rodeos though I'm always scared someone is going to get hurt. So the link I have is just something I think every girl should read not matter what her self esteem level is. I love it so much. I think there's a language issue, but it's very mild, I promise.

Listen To This; It's Amazing!

Love you all!

A Few Random Things

I'm going out to dinner to celebrate my sister's 22nd birthday today! Yay! My mom is going ot try and steer her towards Applebee's, but the choice is ultimately my sister's. Her birthday was two days ago, but she had plans with some of her friends, so we didn't celebrate then. Hopefully, depending on when we get done eating, we'll have time to nip into the mall afterwards! They're right next to each other, but we probably won't, because I've got school tomorrow and everything. I might not post every day Monday through Friday, but I most likely will Saturdays and Sundays. Has anyone seen This Is Us? I asked my mom to take us to see it last Friday, and she said maybe we would this weekend. We didn't yesterday, and probably won't today. Maybe this weekend! I'm going to be really good and do a lot of dishes and cleaning then I can be like, *baby voice* "Wook Mommy I did chowes NOW CAN WE PLEASE GO SEE THIS IS US?!?!?!" Hahaha no it won't be like that but yeah that's my plan! On my Pinterest, there's been a lot of pins about the movie, but I look on the opposite side of the screen, I don't want any spoilers. If I do see the movie, I'll let you know either right when I get home or the day after!

A Few Pinterest Boards I Have

Here's a link to my Pinterest boards that are about Teenager Posts (the first link) JustGirlyThings (the second) and My Teenage Heart (the third link, my own board). Hope you like them! They are not the most developed boards out there, but I pin to them a lot. Read the whole post before looking at my boards!

http://pinterest.com/bizzygirl00/teenagerelatable-posts/
http://pinterest.com/bizzygirl00/girly-things/
http://pinterest.com/bizzygirl00/my-teenage-heart/

If you go to http://pinterest.com/bizzygirl00/boards/, you can look at all of my boards. I don't think you need to have a Pinterest account to look at them, so I hope you like them! Some of the things on My Teenage Heart (the name was inspired by the name of this here blog) could go on some of my other boards, but I put it on MTH instead. If you have a Pinterest, you should really follow me, it'd make me really happy! I think if you're going to look at the boards, you should know what you're going to look at. I didn't create anything, not Teenager Posts, not JustGirlyThings, nothing. Teenager Posts apply to all teenagers, and sometimes younger or older people. They're about relationships, school, home life, anything. JGT apply to girls, usually teenagers, and they're about relationships, shopping, clothes, a lot of stuff. I just started MTH today, so there aren't that many pins, but the pins that are on there are mostly bedrooms. As the board gets older, I'll have different genres of pins. Thanks for viewing as always, and be sure to check out my account on Pinterest! Love you all!

What's Going On Right Now In My Life, Celebrities, and Fashion Trends.

Right now, I really like Glee, I've loved Harry Potter for 6 years, and I'm a younger Directioner. My mom is going to be a bridesmaid in a year in a half- she's asking me and my twin sister to make her outfits on Polyvore! If you want to follow me on there, my username is pintrestfreak. I started school August 22, 2013, and it's going pretty well so far! I've got a twin sister, and older sister, and a younger brother. I love my nephew to death, and I absolutely adore everyone in my family. I love Glee, Harry Potter, Pretty Little Liars, and My Little Pony. Now for the celebrities.

One Direction is my favorite singing group right now, and I'm really disappointed in Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus. Justin has just done so many rude things lately, I just can't believe it. I'm never going to send him hate, or threats or anything, but spitting on your fans? Really? As for Miley Cyrus, I miss her hair so much. Not that I have any say in what she does with her hair, I just miss it. She's just been doing some really...unfavorable things lately. Blurred Lines is really popular, I'm starting to not like it, because it is getting overplayed way too much. This also happened with We Are Young, Call Me Maybe, and one more that I can't remember. At my school, way too many people did the cup song, so I hate that now.

As for fashion trends, I like to think that I started a thing in my school district for wearing mismatched knee socks. Boots (UGG Australia or imitating brands) were really popular last year, but now they aren't. Knapsnacks were popular, but they kind of died out too. I think YOLO is overused- people are using it to do stupid stuff that is going to mess up their life later on. Some people are taking it farther and using it to act, in my opinion, like no teenager needs to be acting. Let's see, what other trends are there? The infinity sign is getting overused too, I think. I don't really pay that much attention to what's new on the runway, I just observe what's popular at my school.

Now I think I should tell you a little bit about the girl behind the screen. I hate having glasses, I want contacts so bad but I can't get them until I'm in high school. My braces either come off this November or December, or next June or July. I like hot pink, and for the type of shirts I like, I like fabric that isn't super cold, but not super hot. I'm kind of sensitive about how low cut my shirts are, I prefer them not to go down past where my collarbones connect. At my school we have uniforms, so I'm making the best of that by wearing bright shoes, and plain colored t-shirts over my polo. I like neon colors, and layering colors that you might not think would look together, but I've found some nice color combos! I hate jeggings and skinny jeans, I prefer jeans, not leggings if it can be helped, that aren't constricting every move of my legs. I don't really like wool clothes, or itchy dresses. I think it's ridiculous how short girls are wearing their shorts now, the shortest pair of shorts I have is mid-thigh, and I'm self-conscious in those! Much to the teasing of my friends, I've got a huge crush on this guy at my school- a red head. My twin sister teases me (in fun, not to really be mean) about him, but I just ignore it. He transferred to my elementary school in 5th grade, I've liked him since October of that year! My friends keep telling me to go out with him, but I can't because of my parents. When I tell them that, they just say, "Oh they'll never know." Which is a complete lie, because my mom would find out probably before I got home from school that day that I had a boyfriend. They tell me it will be worth it, but when she finds out, I'll have to break up with him, I'll be grounded forever, and my phone and books will get taken away. I don't think it's really worth it. I'm a writer. I love to write, right now, I'm writing 4 stories. One is about Harry Potter's daughter, one is a Daniel Radcliffe fan fiction, one is a pointless one that I right because I get bored, and the last one is about a girl who gets into a prestigious music school. I've got a goal to get into Julliard and get a flute major someday! I'd like to thank my older sister for playing flute, because of her, I got a free, high-end flute, and just inspiration. I remember being upset with her when I was little because she wouldn't take me on band trips with her. My second and third choice for instruments were clarinet and saxophone I think, but I did flute because it was a free instrument. So that's a bit about me, comment anything more you want to know and I'll tell you, if it isn't too personal!

Intro

So this blog is just going to pretty much be about me and being a teenage girl in America today :) There's probably going to be some ranting at some point, but I'm going to talk about what I think about celebrities, fashion trends, what it's like at school, stuff like that! If you disagree, comment and tell me why, but don't be rude or hateful- there's enough of that in the world already. There isn't really any specific thing I'm going to talk about, mostly things that just come to mind. Some days I'll only do short posts, other days I'll do really long ones! Thanks so much for coming, tell your friends!
