Now I understand that the title of this blog post is alittle strange and I do admit that I will get to rambling about this topic, and that you may not understand what the point is.
But I digress.
Nice Guys Poop. It's plain and it's simple. But the reason I chose to write about this topic (or blog about it) is because last night or earlier this morning I was watching a video by the lovely Jackson Pearce who wrote As You Wish and has another book comming out in a few weeks called Sisters Red. I reccomend you read her books btw.
Anyways I found one of her more recent videos on Youtube called Nice Guys Poop. Strange title I know but what she talked about in the video made alot of sense.
Watch her video before you read the rest of this:
Anyways now that you have watched this video, know this: NO ONE IS EDWARD CULLEN
That is the truth but once again I digress.
After I watched this video, I finally got the message loud and clear. Nice guys like the guys we read about is YA lit do exist. They go to the bathroom. They live their lives. And if we meet them, they will ultimately care and love us girls or guys for who we are. But remember they aren't perfect like the characters that Authors so carefully sculpt to appear as the perfect boyfriend. They are guys. That means they have emotions and they can get pissed. They can be erractic.
I wouldn't know this because one I'm not looking for a boyfriend just yet and two I don't think I'm old enough to date. I'm pretty much rephrasing what the lady in the video just said.
I still love Harry.

The Top Ten Things I Would Do If I Was a Famous Author
So I've been wanting to post this for the longest time so here we go. I want and I hope to be an Author when I'm older (Like when I'm 19 or 20) and I decided to make a list of the stuff I want to do when I am a acomplished and somewhat sucessful Author. So Here We go.
- Buy a Gnome Statue
- Go to a book store and sign a bunch of copies of my book and leave little notes to readers in them, but nothing too creepy. Something like "I hope you enjoy my book"
- Have a friend post an draft of one of my novels in a popular character's perspective secretly and see what happens
- Have a dance party when the Publisher send the first copies of my book with my dog
- Go into the Fan Forums and post a bunch of secrets about characters under a different username
- Buy another Gnome statue
- Pig out on junk food and host a BlogTv Show about my book
- Get a Facebook
- Buy a ton books that I have been meaning to buy and read but never had the time to do or didn't have the money
- Win Nanowrimo
Now all I've gotta do is write the book.
DFTBA

Project: Really Long Story That I Refuse to Call A Book
So I'm finally announcing it to the world that I am Writing a Book.
Yes a Book.
And I've decided to call it Project: Really Long Story That I Absolutely Refuse to Call A Book or Novel Because then It actually Seems like I'm Doing Something Productive.
Yes I made up a long title for my titleless and perhaps directionless really long story. So far I've got five pages after seven months of writing so I really got to get writing. The good news is that school ends soon (Thank God) and I'll have some free-time to actually fix up my plot and get some more writing done. This is going to be such a swell time that I just might go on an all nighter and write up Twenty pages which will be the longest amount of writing I have ever written.
You know what humors me about this all.
I actually really started writing stories about a year ago. A Suprise yes but last year it was mandatory that I write stories every week for english class, but It wasn't actually the first time I wrote stuff. I think Fifth grade was when I actually tried to write stuff but in those days there was alot of crossing out and frusteration.
Two years later and I'm writing a book, but don't get me wrong. I had always loved reading so it was only a matter of time before I tried to write a book. Now I am.
Suprise Suprise.
Anyways there will be more updates as I go along in my writing journey and maybe someday my publishing journey.
Peace Out.

Nerdfighter
Nerdfighter(n):
A race of humans that are so awesome, that they are made of awesome. They are a superhuman race, one that are willing to stop this thing called WorldSuck and do the stuff they love to do best. Even if it's alittle nerdy.

I Guess You Can Label Me...
First Before I Say or Type Any thing else, I must confess something.
I Hate Labels.
I absolutely hate when people say that someone is a nerd or a weirdo. Yes I admit that I am a Nerd but it's also known as a Nerdfighter and we are made of awesome. Duh.
But back to the subject.
Dictionary.com defines labels as:
a short word or phrase descriptive of a person, group, intellectual movement, etc.
a word or phrase indicating that what follows belongs in a particular category or classification
Urban Dictionary defines label as:
Something you put on jars. Not on people
A title given to someone who is blatently trying to fit in with one of the stereotypical high school "cliques". usually the label is justifiable though, since they are trying to fit in with other people who are obviously confused about who they really are.
and now my personal Fav:

and now my personal Fav:
| 1. (noun) Something teenagers claim to hate but quickly slap on themselves then advertised to other teens who are too busy contemplating themselves to care about anyone else. 2. (verb) The act of labelling someone, usually when the labelled doesn't want to be labelled. 1. UGH! I HATE labels, SO BAD. Everyone calls me a prep!! AHH!! Oh, by the way! Check out me new bracelet! I am so damn original!! 2. Don't you label ME!! How dare you!! The people at Urban Dictionary make a alot of sense. It just seems that because someone likes a specific thing (i.e. vampires, Doctor Who, writing,Math, or even Steven Colbert), others will automatically say that that one person is obsessed with it. It's time that those narrow headed idiots realize that everyone has something called a personality. Thats why you see so many people who wear different clothing, like different music, and lead different types of life. They have jobs either they enjoy or hate. But they have a life that they created and then once again the narrow minded idiots of life label them something like someone who doesn't have the best life because of some bad mistakes is called a loser and will never make something of themselves. THAT IS WHERE YOU ARE WRONG. Anyone can be anything and they will be proud. SO knock it off and leave them alone. Then you have High School and Middle school where this thing called a clique comes into light. Urgh. I have to deal with these things daily and I'll tell you all one thing and that is I'm not exactly Miss Popularity. I'm friendly with most people in my school and then I have people that I just love. But then I see groups with a bunch of girls who gossip and shop at expensive stores and I'm left dumbfounded. Sigh.. Tell me what you think about labels in the comments. Peace out -Bridge | ||

Guitar Hero Hero
So I'm addicted to this Otaku band called the LeetStreetBoys thanks to my friend Chris. Damn him.
Anyways, I've only recently gotten this idea to start a Blog...Yes a Blog even though barely anyone reads this one...and let it be a variety blog. I wanted to call him Naturally Organic. An odd name yes, but it seemed to click because I was going recruit some other writers and let it be a collaberation blog.
The only reason I got the idea was because I had a dream.
So Non-existant readers or if there are any readers who actually read this blog, Comment telling me what you think and what Naturally Organic would be about?
Peace

It's That Time of Year again
So it's an ungodly hour of the morning for me and I was up till maybe 1:15 last night before I gracefully(not really) fell into my bed,asleep before I hit the mattress. But now I'm up helping out with my Mom's breakfast because it's that time of year again...
It's Mother's Day.
I don't know exactly who created the holiday but all I can muster up to say is thank you. My mom needs to have atleast one day besides her birthday where it's all about her and no one else. She doesn't get those type of days often actually.
But today is her day.
Understand that?
Well if you do, Congrats. and if you don't, think about it.
Happy Mother's Day.
p.s.
I get up early alot.

Just passing by...
So Hi.
It's been a busy day. I had to be up early this morning in order to attend a Speech Contest so I've been out for most of the day. Sad thing was I didn't make it to the Final round so I did get to go home early(which anyone likes unless it's something you enjoy but have to leave anyway).
I don't know exactly what to adress here so I'll just be random.
Gnomes.
Ninjas.
Cupcakes.
Owl.
And now bye.
