Currently, I have a week off from school so hopefully I have more time to post up some poems. Not going to lie here but.. I haven't written any new poems. I'm so sorry!! I'll try my best this week!! I might not have time because I'm going to go work at my co-op placement. Hopefully I can earn more money and get to go to more concerts. >.<

I have to apply for university soon, and that means... I have to draw more!! I have to submit a portfolio with my application so I need to get inspired.. and soon! I'll probably read my old poems and hopefully cry over some happy memories.

I recently watched Captain America and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I would never watch Benjamin Button but I did because my school band is playing it. It's really good. It teaches you so many life lessons. I really loved it. Hopefully I can write several poems from the emotions from that movie.

And I created a flickr account to put some of my photos in! I'm still adding photos so it's kinda plain.
Here it is!

Twitter: twitter.com/mendystar1
Tumblr: www.mendystar1.tumblr.com
I also have Formspring.
Basically, everything I have will have the same username so if you want to talk to me on those, just message me / tweet me! I'm mostly on twitter though.

And I created a new youtube account because I accidentally deleted it.. but I will not reveal it for family reasons. haha.

Have a wonderful day!

I've noticed that I've only been updating my journal once a month.
Sorry, about that. Not that anyone actually reads any of this.

The funny thing is, I'm only on dA to post up the new poems I wrote. I never look at deviations anymore.
Maybe it's the fact I watch 100 people, I just can't get through 500 messages anymore like I used to.

Life has been great. I'm currently taking Co-op and I was put in a placement relating to graphic design and webpage design and promoting companies.
It's quite nice.
And I've been receiving band t-shirts in the mail, if you've seen on my twitter. I'm quite in love with them. <3

Funny how people could change.
I used to be a quiet girl, never talking to people.
I used to be an otaku, only reading manga and watching anime all year long.
I used to be an artist, but I was never that good.
I used to be a photographer, and I still am. (I recently got a new battery for my camera so I can take more pictures during concerts!! Yes!)
Now, I write poems or feelings and I release them into the world of the net.
It doesn't matter if I don't have 100 watchers, as long as someone out there reads my poems and they're inspired or it helps them in some way, I'm happy. <3
Now I'm that girl who's constantly going to concerts. I went to 3 concerts this year, all of them were free. Funny how it was only last year, that I started going to concerts.
Now my walls, instead of just anime are filled with signed band posters.
Instead of listening to the radio, I listen to MCR till I go to sleep at night.
I've talked to bands, fell in love with them and I'm so happy I'm this person that I am now.

Sorry, I've been reminiscing.
I feel so old.

How have you change from the child you were before?

Oh, next semester, you shall find more poems of me struggling. (Calculus, English, Physics and Photography. *dead*)

Haha. So it's been a month since I updated this so I thought I'll update it soon before my life becomes boring once again or interesting, once school starts.

I recently got the stomach flu and a fever. Painful. I hate it. I couldn't eat anything.
And I went on a bike ride with my friends and got a allergic reaction to something, probably something in the forest.
I have no idea, but I hated it.

It's been a great month so far.
School's gonna start early.
I got plenty of compliments about my poems!
One girl even asked me to write her a song, just the lyrics cause she says I have "talent" at writing.
I'm gonna go to the Marianas Trench concert in 2 weeks and I'm going to meet all my twitter friends!
I got closer to Secret Revolution, a band I'm currently crazy in love with. Their EP is coming out soon so you guys, CHECK THEM OUT!
I even wrote these dudes a poem, but I'm not going to post it up here cause it's kinda personal and it's to them.

I got closer to the band I love at Warped Tour! Courage My Love. They said they recognized my shirt from twitter and we hugged, toke pictures.
I even followed a band called Shut Up and Deal into the parking lot. It's okay guys, Walt, the bass player assured me there was no dark alleys and it was still bright out. I was not attacked, but we did get our picture taken together! This band is super amazing live, I only knew one of their songs because I downloaded it for free on the Warped Tour site and it's called "Dangerous" This band sounds way better live then on their CD, but their CD is super amazing.
Relient K was kind of a letdown. I was expecting more. I now regret not buying that A Day To Remember CD when I had the chance. 3oh!3 can seriously rock it out. A Day To Remember can seriously party and rock the stage down. Woe, Is Me. I love this band. They were hardcore amazing. Black Veil Brides. Paramore. FOXY SHAZAM!

Don't even get me started on Foxy Shazam. That band is crazy. I only watched 10 minutes maybe even less of their show but their keyboard player jumped on the keyboard and started stomping on the keys. The vocalist climbed on top of the guitarist while he was doing a solo. The trumpet guy threw his trumpet in the air, caught it and started shooting people. The saxophone dude was just playing the saxophone. Clearly amazing.

So how are you guys? See anything / anyone interesting?

So it's been a while. I haven't uploaded anything, sorry about that. I have stuff, in my head that I didn't type out yet and have disappeared and stuff I did type out but I'm too lazy to upload to the dA site. And I haven't drawn in like.. a week. And my drawings suck so no one wants to see that.

I've been.. busy.

Canada Day. I went to see Danny Fernandes, his cousin that randomly came out of nowhere, Tyler and the band Stereos. I don't really like these dudes but I know all of Danny's songs and Stereos is really good live. They keep the crowd jumping. I toke over a hundred of photos. I'm too scared to upload some of them cause I'm really proud of these and I don't want people to steal them but I'll upload these over the weekend. So you can see how handsome he looks without his long hair and hoodie.

And apparently I cried while sleeping / listening to My Chemical Romance's CD, The Black Parade. Yes, I bought it. I love every track on this freakin' album. But I really love "I'm Not Okay" which is sadly not on this CD. Ugh. And I've read Gerard Way's comic, the Umbrella Academy. The storyline is amazing. I love the titles for each chapter. There's not much of a how or a what. It just happens. I really enjoyed the graphic novel. Hopefully I can read  Killjoy comic when it comes out.

I'm getting overly excited over Harry Potter. Which is something I haven't done.. ever. I like the books but the movies.. they leave out so many things. You know? Like it's so great that they had to squish it into a 2-3 hour movie but really this series lasts a lifetime. Which is probably why I didn't like the recent movies. Only 1 & 2. I can't wait to see the final movie though. Emma Watson looks so beautiful. Almost cried when I listened to their speeches. I grew up watching Harry Potter. It's been like what? 10 years. Several years now.

And I recently found out I had a Harry Potter Poster for the last book and trading cards. Who would have thought?

Here's something funny for you to enjoy.
Here's a quote from an Asian movie I just recently watched.

Rice is nothing to you. To us, Rice is everything. Rice is my mom and dad. Don't fuck with my family. Eat the fucking rice you asshole.

So my friends just recently went to Florida, leaving me and 3 others to fend for ourselves and like we say "bond" Wow.

I went to the OCAD grad show, which was pretty awesome, didn't take too many photos because I didn't know if I was allowed to. And I was too afraid to ask the people who made the art work if I was allowed to take pictures. ):
But it was very inspirational.
I wish I could spend like over 24 hours in that building. The art in it was very beautiful. Filled with emotion.
And I loved looking at the graphic design posters.
Especially the keyboard somebody made. Very amazing.

So I've been depressed. Try not to but it's related to school. Blah. English.
My worst enemy.
Yeah, I'm totally gonna fail English.
Like I don't need to know how to write essays in my future.
Can we just skip that and read like 160136045610 pages of Shakespeare instead?
I would rather do that then write an essay about it.
Blah.

And I hate over-analyzing.
Like the author probably just wrote it and never thought of the hidden meaning.
What hidden meaning?
I write poems / words
and I never have a hidden meaning!
It's all right there.
You read it, you know what it's about it. End of story.

Jeez. English class is so complicated. And I'm procrastinating. I need to work on my 1000 word essay and instead I"m wandering around the net like a unicorn.

And I can't find a job, damn city filled with teenagers. >.>

So I'm like a fail at life.
