Music~♥

Well, this blog assignment has pretty good timing :)
ON FRIDAY I WILL BE GOING TO AN AVENGED SEVENFOLD CONCERT :D
Also, Stonesour, Hollywood Undead, and New Medicine will be there, but I'm going for A7X. Stonesour and Hollywood Undead are just a bonus :)



If you can't tell, Avenged Sevenfold is my favorite band. If you were to look on my iPod, they probably take up a good portion of the memory. Their music is amazing. I even love their newest album, Nightmare, even though it sounds pretty different than their previous albums.

I have other favorite bands, but A7X is my #1. My other favorite bands are

Evanescence

Seether

Emilie Autumn

Skillet

Disturbed




There are many bands that I like, even though they may not be my favorites. They are as follows and not limited to: Basshunter, Kill Hannah, Atreyu, Aiden, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance [except for their new album!], Escape the Fate, KoRn, Akira Yamaoka, Cobra Starship, Shinedown, Owl City, KYO, Secondhand Serenade, Mindless Self Indulgence, Hinder, Oomph!, Mayday Parade, Shiny Toy Guns, Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, t.A.T.u., [some] Good Charlotte, Breaking Banjamin, Kerli, Amanda Palmer, The Dresden Dolls, Boys Like Girls, The All-American Rejects, 3OH!3, Slipknot, Dethklok, Three Days Grace, Within Temptation, Panic!

Weight

Today I went with my step dad to pick my sister up from my dad's. After hugging me, my dad asked me how much weight I'd lost [something that I just can't shut up from happiness] because apparently "there wasn't much to me at all." This got me thinking, "How much weight have I lost?"
I've kept weight out of my blog posts for a variety of reasons, but now I think it's time to have a post dedicated to it.

7th grade:










8th grade:










Beginning of 9th grade:













End of 9th:













10th grade:













  • Skinny jeans I bought last year [size 9] are barely able to stay up without a belt
  • I find myself being able to wear shirts that used to be too tight on my stomach
  • I can fit a size 6 in jeggings, although I prefer my 8s
  • I have the "hourglass" dip in my waist now
Since last year I've only lost around 17 pounds. I do not remember how much I weighed before that, although I'm sure I was around the same or a bit more in 8th grade.

I'm proud to say, as of at least Friday, I'm am down to 120 lbs.

Ramblings

Last night I had a dream. Not the weirdest I've had, but odd all the same, and strangely vivid. A mother abandoned her baby daughter and left her to me, and whether I wanted to or not, I had to take care of her. I went to the store with a few of my family members [my dad, my mamaw, possibly one of my aunts] and bought necessities: Bottle, formula, bib, binkies, blanket, and somehow magically ended up with a carrier. I took her to a family thing at what I think was my mamaw's church where the same people who had shopped with me tried to take her to be their own. My dad told me to look for Ava, but she was taken by my family as well, and so he went off to find her. But at that point, I didn't care for Ava, not in the slightest. I fought for my baby, taking the carrier from my mamaw who had left it sitting by her feet, neglecting her and unzipped it to reveal my sweaty, hungry baby. I fed her her bottle, gave her her binky, and rocked her to sleep in my arms, the overwhelming feeling of love blurring my mind.
I awoke feeling empty without her, haunted all day from how strongly I felt. I've never seen faces in my dreams before. I've known they were there, but I've never seen them. However, I saw hers. I saw her scrunched up brown eyes, her wailing open mouth, her thin black hair, and her tan skin....
Now that I think about it, maybe with some alterations, she could've been mexican. Funny, I'm having baby dreams for the wrong parent.

Ava will be here in 12 days. Not many days, but such a long wait.
I wonder if I'll sleep more soundly once she's here.

January

It's hard to believe that it's already half-way through January. There's so much to do, and so little time in which to do it. Events explode in 2 weeks, and I don't know if I'm ready for them yet.
On the 27th, Ava Marie will be born, if she isn't born sooner. Anne doesn't know if she'll last that long, but I think she'll make it.
On the 28th is the Avenged Sevenfold and Stonesour concert in Lexington, KY. Yes, I am skipping school that day for A7X ♥
The 28th-30th is Ohayocon. So far, I still haven't gotten my plans on who I'm going with or what I'm cosplaying straightened out. I hope I can go with Natty, for that would be really fun, but idk. I think it's almost certain I'm going to the rave with Shayne :) OTHER PEOPLE SHOULD GO WITH US CAUSE I DON'T DANCE SO I DON'T WANNA POINTLESSLY STAND AROUND FOREVER FEELING AWKWARD O.O
There's not much I can do to get ready, I've realized. I ordered a new Mello wig, but I can only sit and wait for it, most of my outfits are already together, and I can't figure out who I'm going with until Natty talks to her mom.


Btw, Chrissy is now known as Natty because she feels there are too many Chris' (or variations, like Chrissy) in the world. :)


Tomorrow, I'm going to the doctor's again. I have to miss my morning exam and come in later to make it up >.< I would've much rather just done it yesterday when I had no morning exams. Ah well. Hopefully in a few weeks I'll be sorted out so I can stop missing school :) Besides for A7X, of course XD
