Just trying different sizes here. Will most likely delete.

Merry Christmas!

Popovers!!!

A shout-out to my MOM!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! We were supposed to leave for the wedding in Illinois waaaaaaaaaaay early today, but it was decided that we can't afford it, so we're not going. :( So we're staying home for mom's b-day. I made Popvers, (an amazing delicious breakfast food) for lunch, then we're getting Chinese food for dinner, (tradition) and going to see the last Harry Potter movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, yeah. Popovers are delicious, and I have a new song that I'll post soon. :)

~ Leah

Because Of Bean

Yes. Because Of Bean, I'm posting again. Because, I didn't think anyone read this anymore, but apparently she does, so I'm back again, again, again!!!! :)

It's summer, and I wish it wasn't. Yes, weird. But it's too hot. And I have nothing to do. Except read.....and draw.......and listen to music.....( like Mana, this awesome Spanish band Bean gave me a CD of).......and be lazy on the computer.....or just lazy in general......which I'm tired of being. I was making a Harry Potter wand, but since the group I was going with changed plans.....(NOOOO!!!!! x-( sigh......) I don't know I'm even going to the theater to see it. Especially not opening night. :(

BUT I'm going to Illinois!!!!!! ON THE TRAIN!!!!!!!!! :D For my Dad's friend's wedding!

So stuff is happening. Sorta. And I have Life Teen tonight, but one of my friends isn't going to be there, :( so it might not be as fun.

I have a new song to post eventually, but this is it for now.

Thanks for still reading, if you are.

song: You Showed Me

I wrote this song yesterday, and it's kinda about....well, finding myself? Realizing that I don't have to fit a mold. For the people who helped me find myself this year. :)

You showed me

1. I live for the days

When I can see you

Swept up in your smile Your eyes

There was a time

When I didn't know

Who I was

That was before you

Now I could fly

If you asked me

Maybe that's why

When you're with me

Chorus:

Before you I didn't know

Who I was who I wanted to be

Now I know you

And you showed me

What it means to be me

I was lost you don't know

How much of a part you played

In the finding, my believing

You showed me what it means to be me

2. You don't know what it means

When you confide in me

My life was flat and empty

'Til you filled it up with happy

Now I can't imagine a good day

Without you making me crazy

(Chorus)

Bridge: You make every color brighter

Every moment so much sweeter

When you smile at me

My heart beats faster

I didn't know what I was missing

'Til you showed me what life is

Instead of useless days of loneliness

Trying to be someone else

(Chorus)

I live for the days

When I can see you.....

And be me

Hope you like it!

Chapter One

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know it was yesterday, but as we're all still eating candy I'll say it anyway!!! :)

Today is a remarkable day, as I have completed all the schoolwork my dad told me to do today. This is such a rare crazy event, that I'm still in shock and am surprised the world hasn't combusted. I thought I might reward myself and make a blog post! For I have Chapter The First in my book!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a little rough, but I'm proud to have written it. :D As they say in Fan Fiction, Read and Review!!!!!!

Chapter one

First off, it’s Becca, not Pecca. Just get that straight.
Backstory? Well, Peccatum means ‘mistake’ in Latin. My mom’s this big Latin freak, so that’s what I’ve been called since I can remember. “Peccatum, don’t eat that, Peccatum, stop talking to that strange man……yeah.
My real name is Rebecca, so when people started calling me Becca, my mother conveniently shortened my ‘name’ to sound like my nickname. So Pecca I am. Don’t ask me why, ask mom. She’ll tell you. She’ll get that sad look I her eyes, look off into the distance, and say: “It was a mistake……she never should have happened.”
Yeah, most parents wouldn’t say that outright, and certainly not around or to their children, but my mom’s always been pretty loose about it, in a uptight way. Like, she won’t tall me anything about my father, or where we used to live, or why we move around so much, or why there’s always some strange person that comes up to me at random times, look at me weird, and start to talk…….and just as I feel like I might be about to discover something, my mom’s there, looking so worried I half expect to see the person pull out a gun or arrest us or something. But they never do anything. They just look at my mother, and it almost looks like they’re communicating, and then she winces and says “I’ll do whatever it takes” or some variation of that. And then before I know it, we’re moving again.
I’ve lived in a lot of places, but not in a cool way. I’ve met my share of really weird people who live all over that mom seems to know somehow.....but when weird things really started happening, I was at the house of Carrot Man. I don’t know his real name, but as his skin has a rather unnatural orange tint, that is who he is to me. We stayed with him only once, and briefly. And he didn’t even look like he was staying in his home for long. (If you could call it a home, or looked more like a safehouse to me.)
My mother and I had recently left the house we’d been staying at, due to the sudden appearance of three official looking men, (who were not in any kind of police force of CIA anything, according to my mom) who seemed to only want to talk to us. Of course my mom took that as a reason to suddenly leave what I’d finally been starting to call home. It hadn’t been planned, either, so we’d only packed the essentials, and run of to a last resort, as my mom said. Carrot Man. I don’t know his real name, and my mother never introduced us, so I decided to call him Carrot Man in my head due to his strangely orange tinted skin. He welcomed us easily enough, (thought we hadn’t called ahead and I’d never even known he existed) and allowed us to sleep on the living room floor until further arrangements were made.
It was the fourth night of our stay when I took advantage of the thin walls, and easy listening. I had a hard time falling asleep, though I was used to strange sleeping arrangements, when I heard my mom and Carrot Man talking in the room right off the living room. Clearly they thought I was asleep, and spoke freely, giving me the chance to eavesdrop on the most confusing conversation. As I said, the walls were thin, so I was able to make out the whole conversation. Sitting up slightly in my pile of blankets, I strained to make out the conversation in the next room. I didn’t have to strain much.

“I know what you’re going to ask, and the answer’s no,” I heard my mom start off.
Then I heard Carrot Man, “It’s a perfectly reasonable request, she’s old enough and should be practicing.”
“If all goes as planned, she’ll never need to.”
“Unfortunately, Gina, most things -especially something as unlikely as you hope to accomplish- never go as planned in this world. “ Carrot Man said.
“This plan will. It has to.”
Carrot Man spoke, seeming exasperated. “It would be an easy task! She wouldn’t have to go very far past the World Door at all, and then it’s only a bit of calculating and we’ll be back in place to change things! My people are suffering, Gina!”
“And you know as well as I do that even if she were trained, it’s against the law to simply change whatever is asked. It’s meddling with time, fate, the balance of the world,” mom said.
“Why would we have a door into such a place if not to use it?” Asked Carrot Man, sounding annoyed.
Mom answered calmly, “That I cannot answer, only that Pecca will not do as you ask.”
“As your friend, I will respect your final decision. But I will not be the first to make such a request, and when others try more forceful measures, your daughter will not know enough to defend herself. You must teach her, for her own self defense.”
“I am not a Walker, how would I train her?” Mom asked, confusing me.
“I would find a way. You know I would. I know someone....”
“You always know someone,” mom interupted.
“I would get her the proper training.” Carrot Man said. Though training for what, I had no idea.
“The training will not be complete, or even half finished without going to the Mundi Door. And Pecca will never go there.” That was mom, with her usual way of mixing Latin words in with English. I recognized ‘mundi’ which means ‘world’ and recalled Carrot Man’s earlier mention of the ‘World Door.’
Carrot Man seemed to be thinking along the same lines as me. “You and your Latin. And she may very well be forced, for there may come a time when you cannot protect her from her fate.”
“I can try to change it.”
“So we are both meddlers of fate?” Carrot Man mused.
“So it would seem. I believe we’ll be leaving in the morning.” That was news to me.
“Do you have somewhere to go?” Carrot Man asked.
“We’ll figure it out.”
Carrot Man sighed. “You always do. Though I wonder the affect it has on the girl, always on the run, always getting mere glimpses of the truth, before you whisk her off before she can truly understand......”
“It is for her own good!” Mom protested, “Surely you must understand that?”
“I understand your motives, but unlike you I accept the truth.”
“Which is?”
“She will find out soon enough, and then she will be in no mind to listen to your reasoning. Best to tell her as soon as possible, while you can still protect her.
Mom spoke quietly, “If I am to protect her, I must never tell her. Pecca must never know.”
“From what I’ve seen, I believe your ‘mistake’ is strong enough to protect herself. You’ve taught her how to do that. Goodnight, Gina.”
I had just enough time to slip back under the covers and try to pretend I hadn’t heard the disturbing conversation, before my my whispered “goodnight”, and left the room to find her sleeping place by me.

I woke the next morning to the sadly ritual sound of my mom packing. At first I was disoriented, but quickly recalled where I was, and then all I had heard last night came flooding back. I hadn’t slept well after, how could I after hearing what I had? I had no idea what they were talking about, and had spent most of the night turning over the conversation in my head. I felt sure I couldn’t ask mom about it, for the one point she had made most clear to Carrot Man that night was that she didn’t want me to know anything. I still didn’t know much of anything, and my eavesdropping had only brought up more questions.
Mom glanced over then, and spoke. “Good, you’re awake. We’re leaving today, so go get something to eat and pack up.” She smiled, but it looked forced.
“Why are we leaving?” I couldn’t help asking, though I knew the answer. “Do we have somewhere to go?”
“I have an idea.” Mom said, looking down.
I knew I wouldn’t get anything else out of her, so I went to the kitchen in hopes of finding enough food to call breakfast. As I was searching the cupboards, Carrot Man came in. I didn’t expect him to speak to me, but clearly he had something on his mind. Looking around as if to make sure no one was there, (though the kitchen was so small I wondered how we couldn’t have seen anyone) he spoke in hushed tones.
“I know your mother wouldn’t want me to say anything......but there are some things you need to know.” I opened my mouth to interrupt, but he continued quickly.
“You’re special, and there are people who will want you for that. I admit I wanted to do something along those lines, but purely to help my people.”
“Use me how?” I asked, but he was on a role.
“People like you are rare, and when they’re found they’re in high demand. If things go well, they’re brought somewhere safe to be trained, and are rarely called to venture beyond the World Door, for it is dangerous even for a Walker.”
“What’s the World Door? I heard you mention it last-” I bit my lip, cursing inwardly for giving away that I had been listening in on them last night. He looked at me, but did not look angry.
“So you may know more than I’d thought. All the same, you must understand something. If someone comes asking you to venture through the World Door for them, you mustn’t do it. Your mother will most likely take care of it before they even speak to you, but in case something happens to her.....” He looked me straight in the eye. “I understand that you are not trained, and have no idea of the potential you could live up to, and therefore are vulnerable and guarded. Your mother would have you never learn of your destiny, that way protecting you in her own way, but I believe there will come a time when she can no longer protect you. If the need ever arises, and I believe you will know when it does, you must come here. I may be of some help, and can assure a level of protection. I can also have you trained.”
I was at a complete loss. “I don’t understand, please can you just-”
“Promise me that you will come here if you are in trouble.”
“I-” I looked up at him, and his eyes were so desperate, and I could find no deception in them. “I promise,” I said, hardly believing I did.
He visibly relaxed, then. “Good. And promise me one more thing. Don’t.......don’t tell your mother about this. I fear what she would do to me if she found I was the reason you found out. And no matter what I believe, it may serve you well to be kept in the dark a while longer.”
I nodded once, and my mom walked into the room, stopping abruptly.
“Am I interrupting?” She said, searching our expressions.
“Of course not, Regina. I was merely assisting Pecca here with breakfast. Wouldn’t it be nice to eat together before you leave?” I winced slightly at the sound of my nickname. I hadn’t known that my mothers friends used it too.
Mom looked at us again suspiciously, but sat down at the small wooden table all the same.

As we left, Carrot Man slipped a piece of paper into my hand, saying only that it would help if I ever needed him. The he stepped back and waved, saying “I hope to see you again soon, Regina, perhaps I can meet your daughter at a better time. Good luck.” Mom only nodded, and we pulled away. I took at last glimpse at the hidden house, and the orange man standing in front, and wondered if I would ever need to see it again.

Song: Doesn't Stop Me

This is a song I write a little while ago...about someone.

Bean, you've read this, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

Doesn't stop me

1. I didn't expect you

To say you felt the same

But it hurt anyway

I don't expect Prince Charming

To come at my age

But I'd have settled for you any day

I have a way of falling for someone

Long before I know

Thy'll never be the one

Chorus:

But that doesn't stop me

From falling into a

Basket of dreams

"You and me"

There's a magic to those words

Keeping me from being free

Everything seems to fade

Into the distance

All you have to do is

Look at me

I know it won't be easy

But that doesn't stop me

2. Was it wrong?

To take a couple of smiles

And build my own fantasy

Is that what's wrong with me?

Or was it bad?

To look at you and me

Even though there never was one

And try to find something that we had

But now I see you look at her

Wish I couldn't see you holding her hand

Now I understand

(Chorus)

Bridge:

It goes to show I should've

Gone with my first instincts

Said you weren't my type

Now I might now make it out alive

Chorus 2 times

~ labiegirl

And..........I'm back! (again)

I know I said I was back.....and then didn't post anything.....but I'm gonna try to post regularly again. YAY!!
So here's the deal:

• My homeschool group is over, and I am not dealing well at all.
• I am drawing a comic called Cubert, and you can view some random pages HERE along with some other awesome stuff done by me and my friends from Graphic Novel class, or you can wait for me to post the beginning and other only Cubert related stuff on the blog I made for it, HERE. I haven't posted anything yet, though.
• I am now in a band called Zephyr (maybe, depends if Bean approves he name) and am the only one in it not in Kentucky. :( But we'll figure it out somehow.
• I have written quite a few more songs, and intend to post them soon. Please comment and tell me what you think!
• If any of you remember that beginning of a book I posted a while back, about that girl name Pecca, I might be posting more of that, as I have a plot now. (Score!!!)

There might be other stuff, but that's all I can think of for now. I'll post a song soon.

Ta ta, my faithful readers!!!!

Links!

Created by Oatmeal

">

Hahahahahaha!!!! I love The Oatmeal.......

Oh, and that Tumblr account thing I was grumbling about?:

I haven't posted a comic yet, but that's the idea....
~ labiegirl

yeah, I'm back.

hi guys, if you're still reading this.
I've decided that I might have to keep using this.....just so I can rant to the cyber world sometimes.
I'M SO CONFUSED!!!! TUMBLR IS REALLY CONFUSING!!!!!!
First I had to make a Wordpress, for Graphic Novel, and now he's decided that Tumblr is easier and less confusing so I had to make one of those, but Tumblr is even more confusing than Wordpress!!!!!!!!!!! Even though he said it would be less confusing....
It's terrible....

I have I.R.C. today!!! fOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER!!!!!!!!!! YAY!! YESYESYESYESYESSCORE!!!!! :D (Inexperienced wRiters Club) We haven't had a meeting since last year!!! But we're having one today after the other members get out of school!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really don't have much to say, and I'm kinda bored. I was just soooooooooo mad at Tumbr I had to do something I actually understood....
Bye, hope you haven't given up on me yet!
~ labiegirl

I'm sorry :( but it must be done......

I'm really sorry about this, but until Blogspot figures out its problems, I'm not using this any more.
Problems? Yes:

1. Some how they changed the layout of my Blog page, and when I went to fix it it was no different, so I CAN'T fix it.
2. Sometimes it will randomly not let me post. It just says "Tag 3 is broken"
3. Last time I tried to post, it left out a hunk in the middle. So I went back ad edited it back to ow it was, re-posted it, but it's still not there.

Am I wrong for being SERIOUSLY ANNOYED BY THIS?!?!?!?!?

So I hope none of you are sad or anything....I out a lot of songs and Journals and stuff on here....but I've decided to use my new Wordpress account that I can't explane because Blogspot keeps taking it out of my posts instead. Sorry.
Here's my Wordpress link thing: www.stepstepstone.wordpress.com

Maybe when Blogspot figures out its problems I'll be back. Or maybe it's my computer. Ugh.
Sorry. Bye guys, thanks for reading. Maybe you'll all continue with this on Wordpress.
Love you all, <3
~ labiegirl

sorrysorrysorry! it's Blogspot's fault!!!

Hi guys! (If you haven't given up on me yet.)

So I have a post from VALENTINE'S DAY, but for some reason blogspot won't let me post it. Says Tag 3 is broken. (FAIL. If it's broken, FIX it maybe?!)

So I've been trying to post my Valentine's Day one for FOREVER. (Well, since Valentine's Day. Whatever.) But I think maybe I should post this just explaining.

Career News: I wrote two new songs, and designed my album cover with the help of my sister. If It's possible to post pictures, I'll make sure to put it up here. :) And I'll post my songs soon.

So I made a Wordpress account. (I'm imagining Bean cheering here, tell me if I'm wrong.) BUT only because: For my class Graphic Novel, (which I LOVE!!!!!!! <3)>

Alright, I forgot how much I like blogging. More posts later. :)

Love you guys!!!!! I'll keep trying to post my Valentine's Day post!!! <3

Birthday!!! what really happened... ;)

I think I figured out how to make this work!!!! :D

Sooo.......I'm 13. :D My birthday was pretty awesome.....Chinese food...presents...nothing I really feel like mentioning, :( cept the sister gave me a moustache ring!!! HOW COOL, HUH?! lol. okay.

So then cake, which was AMAZING, just saying. ;) Then, the brother hooked up his ipod to the TV so he could play music really loud, him and the sister DJayed. (However you spell that.) So then we watched a special birthday movie....aka Second Hand Lions which I seriously recommend. Really. It's pretty darn amazing. :) So then the parents went to bed, and me the brothers and the sister stayed up and talked about: if you could be an amazing animal trainer, and there was no way you were ever gonna get hurt, what animal would you live with? GROUP QUESTION!!! You must answer this one. I'm involving you guys. ;) So I said a Lion, cuz I have a new found love of them, and cuz how awesome would it be to live with a Lion? That liked you. SO FREAKING COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right, then the brother went all out and said he wanted a Polar Bear. Yes, cool, but does he know how HUGE they are? Yes, he does. Then the sister said "well, you wouldn't even need a bed, or blanket or anything" hahahahahahahahaha laughs. Then the brother said "I wouldn't need a car, either. I'd just ride my Polar Bear."

The other brother couldn't decide what he wanted. :( He said maybe an Orangatang, though.HAHA. The sister said she wanted a Penguin, but didn't want to be mean and take it away from it's home.

Then the Brother showed us all this video about this HUGE FREAKY digging machine thing called the Bagger 288. It was really funny. there was this whole song about it, and all these pictures of animals freaking out........wow am I bad at explaining stuff. Sorry. It was a LOT funnier than I make it sound. Really.

Oooooooooooooh I forgot. While the brother and sister were playing music, I was online, chatting with....................an awesome person in Chicago. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Bean you know who I'm talking about. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. :)

Anyone want to help me with comic ideas? It doesn't have to be a blowout amazing incredible idea, just help me out a little. It's homework. Thanks!

Alright...oooooohhhh listening to White Horse, by Taylor Swift. <3>

Okay then................Love you for reading. :)

Til next time!

~ labiegirl

I AM a singer songwriter!!!! :D

Hey! This post is a little out of context, cuz I have another one about my birthday and stuff, but for some reason it won't let me post it. :( So hopefully this one will work!!!!

Anyway. I..............wrote a SONG. AND...........I have written a guitar piece to it. OH YEAH!!!! I AM a singer song writer!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCORE!!!!!!!!!! I played guitar for hours yesterday figuring it out. YAY ME!!! My finger tips REALLY hurt afterwards. They felt like they were BURNED! Ooowww.....I had to put Aloe Vera on them to make them feel better. I love Aloe......<3>

So here's my song, I'm not gonna put the chords and such in though.

It needs some work, (they always do) and I'm only a beginner guitarist, so nothing special...not that you're gonna hear it anyway so whatever. Here you go:

Get You Back

1. I hear a car door slam

And wince at the sound

I hear an engine start

Girl don't look now

Out of my window

See you drive away

From everything it seems like yesterday

Chorus:

I was callin' you mine

We were aiming towards the full time

Drivin' around with my hair down

Laughin' loud

Slow dancin' on the moonlight to our song

Nothin' but your arms around me all night long

Nothin' ever felt so right yeah

If it was my choice you'd be at my side

Everything reminds me of what we had

But crying won't get you back

2. Go ahead and lie

Say it wasn't real

Believe it if you want

But I know what I feel

You can say you're sorry

But baby that's not true

So I close the curtains like you closed the door on me and you

(Chorus)

Bridge:

Walk away, walk away

Wipe the tears away, tears away

Walk away, walk away

Wipe the tears away (2x)

They won't get you

Back

(Chorus)

YAY!!!! :) I hope you like it. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!! :)

I played guitar again today, and my fingers didn't hurt as bad after!!! Yay!!!! :D :D :D I'm gettin' stronger..... ;)

Alright, ta ta, I'll keep trying to post my birthday post.

~ labiegirl

*February Fourth* :)

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!! :D :D

Hello all!!! Yes, today is my Birthday, thank you, thank you. Belize. I dunno if you knew that. Bean, it would be sad if you didn't.

Sooooo............is it safe to say how old I am? I mean, only two people are reading this, as far as I know....

(I'm gonna be 13 tonight.)

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE SECRET HAS BEEN TOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. But wow.....13. Taylor Swift's lucky number. ;) I hope it'll be a lucky year for me, cuz 12 was not. 12 WAS NOT A LUCKY YEAR FOR ME!!!! I don't think I even believe in luck. Everything happens for a reason. That's what I think. Soooo......I should write a song for my Birthday. Yes? I think I'll do that. I should finish it today, so I'll post it when that happens.

Right, so if anyone's curious, today= Be lazy......(cuz I have an excuse today, haha) write a song, try to finish this other one I started writing yesterday, decorate my butterfly cake, :) wait for the sister to get home so she can help me, have Chinese food for dinner, (YUMM!!!!!!!! :D) Happy Birthday cake stuff, open presents, be happy have fun. YAY FOR BIRTHDAYS!!!!!!

I am now going to address an issue here.

So Bean has told me something is stopping her from commenting on my blog. Something about it not recognizing your username? My advice is to go back to previous comments, and see if that username is different than the one you've been trying. Or if you're too lazy to do that I will go find it myself and put it in a comment on THIS POST for you. Happy? Okay. Because.......PEOPLE MUST COMMENT, YES? I yelling a lot in this post....not yelling....just being forceful and excited. ;)

I could write on here forever.....it's just really fun, ya know? I'm always thinking during the day, "I wanna go post on my blog!" But I don't, cuz then I'd be doing it waaaaaaaaaay to much and it would just be rambling boredness, and no one would read. Yes?

FOUR people remembered that it was my Birthday today!!!!!!!!!!! :D They emailed me cool Happy Birthday emails and stuff. :)

Okey-dokey. Permission to yell if I don't write my song. :) That's what friends are for.....

Love you guys!!!!!

~ labiegirl

*Snow Day*

SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!!!! Not really for me, cuz I stay home all day anyway, but now everyone's home!!!!! It snowed sooooooooo much, and it's STILL SNOWING!!! Really hard, too. :D :D :D

So I really want to go sledding, but no one will drive me anywhere.....(not that you're supposed to drive on a snow day, and our road is.........not plowed. But still!!!) So mom said I should sled down the driveway with the sister, but that didn't really work last year. Maybe I should try it, I dunno.

Mom has been bugging me for the longest time to clean the birdcage, and I just put it off and then forget about it and I should really do it.....it's really not that bad.

Right. So, NO ONE HAS BEEN COMMENTING. Is no one reading??? :( :( :( People must comment!!! That's the rules!!!! I posted a song and a part of a book I'm writing, and STILL no one comments!!!! Why?!?!?!?!? :( :( D: D: D: Saaaaaaaaaaddddd...........Bean........I comment on your blog.......Belize.......Are you even reading? Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddd........

OOOOOHHHHHHH I had my voice recital Monday night!!!!!! It went really well, I think! :) I got all creative with my outfit, which turned out good, and I sang really well. :) I was really nervous at first and my voice was shaking, but I got it under control. And the mom was CRYING during my second song!!!!! CRYING!!!!! How flattering..... ;) I some of my teachers other students, and they're really nice, and they all go to school with my brother and everyone likes him so that earned me points when I told them. :) I want to know what my teacher thought!!!! Tomorrow.....unless there's another snow day and she cancels or something. :( All new music!!!!!

My Birthday's on Friday............... :D

Alright, I really do need to clean that birdcage. :(

'Til.......whenever. ;)

Book!!!

Hiya! So this post I thought I'd post the very beginning-key words, very beginning-of a book I thought I might start writing. I don't really know where it's going, I never do, but I liked the idea.

First off, it’s Becca, not Pecca. Just get that straight.

Backstory? Well, Peccatum means ‘mistake’ or 'sin' in Latin. My mom’s this big Latin freak, so that’s what I’ve been called since I can remember. “Peccatum, don’t eat that, Peccatum, stop talking to that strange man……yeah.

My real name is Rebecca, so when people started calling me Becca, my mother conveniently shortened my ‘name’ to sound like my nickname. So Pecca I am. Don’t ask me why, ask mom. She’ll tell you. She’ll get that sad look I her eyes, look off into the distance, and say: “It was a mistake……she never should have happened.”

Yeah, most parents wouldn’t say that outright, and certainly not around or to their children, but my mom’s always been pretty loose about it, in a uptight way. Like, she won’t tall me anything about my father, or where we used to live, or why we move around so much, or why there’s always some strange person that comes up to me at random times, look at me weird, and start to talk…….and just as I feel like I might be about to discover something, my mom’s there, looking so worried I half expect to see the person pull out a gun or arrest us or something. But they never do anything. They just look at my mother, and it almost looks like they’re communicating, and then she winces and says “I’ll do whatever it takes” or some variation of that. And then before I know it, we’re moving again.

I’ve lived in a lot of places, but not in a cool way. I’ve met my share of really weird people who live all over that mom seems to know somehow…..

It's not a lot, but......See, I got this idea, cuz I take Latin, and I was trying to memorize my vocabulary, and having little weird ways to do that helps. So I was trying to find a way to remember what peccatum meant, when I thought, hey, what if there was this girl named Becca but her mom called her Pecca cuz she was a mistake? So I got this idea and now I'll hopefully never forget! There will have to be a mythical reason why she should not have been born, maybe something to do with Rome? Latin stuff? To show off my new dead language. ;)

Right, well I hope you like it, comment, tell me what you think. Case you didn't catch that.....COMMENT!!! Please? I love it when you do! :)

Song, and thank yous!!!!

So YAY the last post worked!!! Super! :)

I am going to put my most recently written song in this post, but first of I wanna give a biiiiiiiiiig shout out to the two people following me!

Thank YOU Bean, for being my best friend and following this blog and commenting and supporting me and my song writing efforts! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

Thank YOU Belize, for being my super homeschool buddy, and taking lots of pictures and following my blog!!! LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

If anyone else decides to follow me....(hint hint, nudge nudge) You will get the same lovely shout out! But personalized like these! Right!

Sooooo.....here's my song!

So Cold (unless I think of a better title. always.)

1. I can see you smiling

I can feel you holding me

But now we're sitting with

So much space between us

I feel so cold without your arms around me

Now all I hear is silence

All I see is your shifting gaze

All I feel is waiting

Trying to find a way out of this maze

Chorus:

Waiting for you to look up at me

Waiting to see what I can't see

Waiting to know the reason why you've been acting so cold

Waiting to look into your eyes

Wanting to take off our disguise

Waiting but not really wanting to know

Why I feel so cold

2. It's never easy

To admit that something's gone wrong

It is far to simple

To just keep on holding on

Part of me's afraid to

Hear what you are going to say

I just wanna pretend that it's not too late

(Chorus)

Bridge:

And I can just see yesterday

We were meant to be

Laughing all night long

You still feel like a part of me

I just can't see

What went wrong

Baby what went wrong?

(Chorus)

So there you go! I hope you like it, I'm not quite sure about it yet. I'll probably be changing it a lot whenever I get better ideas.....it's just one of those songs, you know?

Alright, well I've been on the computer long enough, and I have Latin Homework. Due tomorrow, homeschool group's starting up again!!!! So I really have to get working on it! And I have babysitting tonight, so less time! And must go listen to the radio and try to win Taylor Swift tickets! Busy day!

'Til next time,

Hopefully this works. Journal!!!!

Hi there! Okay, so the last two times I've tried to post it hasn't worked. I have no idea why, but I hope this one works!

So, yesterday I went to the boys basketball tournament at my old school...(except not at my old school, cuz their gym SUCKS!!!!) And it was actually more fun than I thought it would be! Not extremely fun....but fun. :) we one third place....but lost first place by ONE POINT! Stupid lucky free throw...

Okay, so I really don't care about sports that much. Really. Just in case you thought I was....I am a little. But not that much. :)

Everybody went to Subway in between the games, (my first time!!! Don't call me a loser. It was a little scary....a friend had to walk me through ordering a little bit. Not my fault I wasn't exposed to this as a child! And I have like fear of ordering. Seriously.) Yay subway for being a fast food restaurant with good veggitarian food!!!

Okay so after the game I got a ride with a friend.....a special friends Bean might know who I'm talking about. ;) With his dad and sister and MOST ADORABLE PUPPY EVER!!!!!!!! I. AM. SERIOUS. This pupp is MAJOR cute. Want him!!!!! And we went Downtown on the way to my house and stopped at this really cool store, but we didn't have much money.. :( So his dad said he'd take me and the sister shopping downtown tomorrow, (today) soooo cool! Except.....last night as I was showing the sister the most amazing thing of all time on YouTube, (A Very Potter Musical, OMG SO FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!) I got sick and threw up. FAIL!!!! So I went to bed super early and fell asleep and had weird dreams and woke up and felt better and ate French Toast! Yay!!! But not better enough to go shopping. :(

So instead I watched The Sixth Sense with the dad and the brothers and the sister. It was really good. But it was also majorly creepy. Omg those dead people were SO SCARY!!!! I ended up taking like a minute and a half shower afterwards cuz I kept thinking about it....*shudder.*

Anyway, so here I am now, listening to the sister try to figure out a piano piece for me so she can teach me. Forever and always, Taylor Swift. It is sooooooo pretty and I really want to learn it.

Right. So I don't wanna make this too long, in case it doesn't work again and I lose all this. ARGH! If it works, maybe I'll post another one today. Cuz I wrote a song.........YAY!!!! :D :D

Kk, maybe post soon! Thanks for reading!

SNOW!!!!! We're supposed to get a snowstorm. :) It looks like light snow, but it's sticking and just hasn't stopped. YAY!!!!! :D :D

Blarhg. I really wanted to post today, but I really can't think of anything!!! My life is just too boring, I guess.

Okay, I still only have one person following me, so I can't do some weird group thing....hhhmmmm...

I just drank a bottle of Steaz, which is this weird organic flavored green tea thing that is REALLY YUMMY. Lemon Lime is the best, but I drank it all, haha, (not all in one day!!!) So I had Raspberry....again, why am I telling you all this random stuff? Not that it matters, cuz only one person is reading this anyway. :( Where are the people from around the world who should be randomly finding my random blog and following me?!!!!

I don't even have a new song....I'm getting behind, need to work on that.

No Journal entries, cuz I didn't do anything today.

I guess I could go back and take a chapter form a book I was-ahem, am writing. Depends if I wanna be lazy or not.

I'm eating blueberry bread....Sooooooooooo good...........yumm.......

Well, this was a serious waste of a post. So much for them getting more interesting.

~ labiegirl

just killing time journal entry sorta rambling

I know I already posted today.....but it's kinda addicting, and I'm pretty bored. Well, no I'm not. I just felt like doing this.

My mom just like broke my dad's computer, cuz she is major technically challenged. At least I don't have to worry about her finding my blog, then. Cuz I read this book that was just this girls blog posts, and then at the end she found out her dad was following her pretending to be a girl her age. ! ! ! ! That would SUCK. Cuz, I mean, some of this stuff may be personal....plus it's just kinda weird to have your parents read your writing, at least for me.

We found our dog!!! Well, my brother did. In like 5 minutes. But whatever.

Does anyone know how to post videos? Like, from YouTube? Cuz it's beyond me. Maybe I'm technically challenged too. Not as bad as my mom, never that bad. *shudder.*

Okay, I ate this peanut M&M, and it was kinda old and stained my lips blue. So I painted my lips blue, and it really looked like lipstick! It was pretty cool looking, bright blue and all. Why am I telling you this?

Where are my friends that are supposed to be following me?!?! :( There is only the ever faithful far away Bean.....hey, can I call you Beaniebaby? LOL. :)

Aaaaaah, the sound of the brothers playing video games loudly fills the air...

Ooooh, movie time.

Toodles non existent readers!

~ labiegirl

Song!!!! name: so right, or I could

Hellooooooooo again! Sorry I have not posted in a long time. Not that that matters, since only one person is following me. On the bright side: one person is following me now!!! Yay for best friends!!! :)

So...journal entry-ish thing!

I went sledding today!! With the dad and the sister. :) Cuz it has been snowing non stop for the last day....and there's this really big hill near our house, and it is so fun!!!

Have to go to church tonight....blargh.

Mom said we were gonna take the Christmas tree down today, but she went out grocery shopping and forgot! Score!!! So what if Christmas season is over? It looks pretty!!!

Ah, the snow is sparkling....MAGICALNESS!!! :D :D Oooohhh dear, it seems we forgot our dog outside and now he is missing! Aaaahh! one of the brothers is out looking for him...8-0 We'll find him....he's really tiny, though. And we have a lot of woods around our house....at least he's not a white dog, he'll be easier to spot.

Enough about my dog! I WROTE A SONG!!! SCORE!!! I want to post it....and since the only person following me is my friend fellow singer-songwriter, I think it's safe. ;)

No title so far, gimme suggestions?

1. You were in high school,

He was in colledge

He skipped a grade cuz he's smart that way

Acted like kinda friends,

But it was all pretend

You will look back some day

And say

Chorus:

I could tell when he told me that he loved me,

I could see it in my minds eye

When he asked if someday we would be together

I said yes and I don't know why

But I can see us

Sittin' by the ocean,

Lookin' at the water,

In the middle of the night

I could tell in a moment it was meant to feel so right

2. He is a writer,

You're in his stories

He's loved you all this time

You're far away but,

You'll make it work out

You're like two words that rhyme

(Chorus)

Bridge:

Don't run away from this

Girl, it's spelling out fairytale

He'll help you through the doubt

Let yourself feel this is real

I could tell when he told me that he loved me,

It'd be forever in each others lives

When he asked if someday we would be together

I said yes and this is why

Cuz I can see us

Sittin' by the ocean,

Lookin' at the water,

In the middle of the night

I could tell in a moment it was meant to feel so right

I could tell in a moment it'll always feel so right

There ya go! Okay, just saying, I am NOT trying to rip off Taylor Swift's Mine. This is me writing a song about a story that was told to me by someone. Her story fit really well with Mine, but I wanted to put it in my own words.

I hope you like it!
