Nobody Nobody But Chu, Nobody Nobody But Chu. ;]

Just one more lousy day and then I'm out of this lame excuse of a state. I wish I lived directly IN Chicago, then maybe I wouldn't be so bored all the time. Speaking of Chicago I'll be heading down that way sometime in the coming week. And then I'll be heading down again August 15th for the Mitchel concert. I'm glad Nick J likes Chicago but he should just like move here already ya know. ;] Then maybe I would LOVE this place.

It's eleven in the a.m. and I just woke up and I'm really hungry but I can't bring myself to leave my room. My foot hurts like a mother and my limp is REALLY embarrassing and my dad thinks it's hilarious, oh yeah dad well your the one paying the 220 dollar bill..... Who's laughing now?? ;]

Well I'm going to go pack because I won't have time tomorrow, were leaving at 1:30 and I'll probably sleep until eleven again. :]
-Ariel

Now I know Who You Are; U Got Nothin' On Me.

I wish I was at the Demi concert tonight..... :[ She is so amazing live. KELLY, I hope you have fun tonight, remember.... This better be THE BEST concert of your life, you better have SO MUCH fun WERE MISSING CAMP FOR THIS. ;] Don't have to much fun though, it can't be better then your FIRST Jonas Brother concert.
P.S. Kelly, since I didn't get to take you to your first Jonas concert, I'm going to take you to meet them for the first time instead. You'll love me forever.

Anyway, I'm in a lot of pain. Hahahaha, I wish my dermatologist had a way to make me look pretty and take care of my skin with a less painful method. :] She just tells me that beauty is pain. Ha thanks. <3

Lets see.....
1 day until I leave this crappy state for a few days. ;]
20 days till I see and meet Push Play ;]
22 days till I see Mitchel Musso again ;] (fourth time? haha)

Thanks a bunch.

Don't Try And Run Honey, Love Can Be fun.

I absolutely love that the Jonas Brothers covered that song. I was just watching all of my YouTube videos and I filmed that song on the Burnin' Up tour last year. Hayley and I screamed like maniacs through the whole entire thing. I miss that tour. And now When You Look Me In The Eyes is playing and gets me all teary eyed because Hayley and I were a part of that music video and that was SO long ago. And I can't believe it's almost THREE years since the first time we saw them. 12-02-06. Curse the Best Of Both Worlds for blowing them up. I wish no one knew who they are like no on knew who they were in 2006.

You Make Me Crazier Crazier.

I love that song. Anyway, so I finally decided after like weeks of contemplating whether or not to message Christa Black, I finally did today and not 5 minutes later I find out she has read it. Well I sorta freaked out. Isn't that silly? That just knowing she read it made me freak out. Well I was so ecstatic to know that she actually read what I had to say and now she knows that a lot of people are looking up to her in a way and I hope she knows that her blog not only helps me through my day but it has been helping me in life. It's CRAZY that her words have spoken to me in such a way, that I have become a new me in a healthy way. Thanks for reading this Christa ;] we love you.

Ice Road Truckers.

Is a really intense show. I am always on the edge of my seat when I'm watching it. It's on right now and I can't look away, but I decided since I haven't blogged in forever (life has been crazy busy) that I should peel my eyes away from the boob tube for awhile and fill you in.

I just wrapped up a crazy weekend of garage sales. Made some good money off my junk, glad to be rid of it. My closet is SO empty now. My goal was to get rid of enough stuff that I could take down 2 of my shelves in my room. I went out and bought a 'directors chair' today. Do you know what I mean? Like the ones actors have and it says their name on it? Yeah those, I bought one and have no clue where to put it. I know where I want to put it but my room is so stinking small that there is no room. So I'm going to be doing some rearranging. :]

Kelly, my cousin, was over for most of the weekend and we had a blast. She is more then my cousin, more then a best friend, she is like a sister. We decorated my fridge with a whole lot of crap it looks hilarious!

I also participated in a 'fake' photo shoot. That's what I call it. My cousin Amanda and I helped out her neighbor with the photo classes she is taking. We got to act like models for a few hours, it was AMAZING! The pictures came out good considering we used a digital camera, nothing to fancy, she just needed some test shots to do some editing and stuff on. She even told us she may need us to help again.

Anyway, I've been feeling good these last few days. Being around people I know truly love me is an AMAZING feeling. Christa Black never seizes to amaze me. Her blog helps me get through my day. Everything she has gone through and felt is what I'm going through and feeling right now. It's good to know that I'm not the only one. I really take a lot of what she says and use it in my life. I hope to bring help and comfort to people one day like she has brought hope to so many people.

LURKERS.

HAHAHAHA! I have never 'lurked' on the Jonas Brothers before and I don't know if this is considered 'lurking' but it was REALLY fun. Hahaha.

So they were in Chicago and their Twitter says that the Road Dogs are going to be playing at Cougar Stadium. Well I defiantly want to see them in their cute little baseball outfits! Psh I mean who wouldn't? ;] So after a few hours later (TORCHER) we arrive at the stadium thanks to my Jonas lovin' granny. We missed the game but we decide hey why not wait around till they leave! Hahaha well it ended up being like and hour and a half before they decided it was time to head to the arena. Anyway there was this stupid (and to tell you the truth I think he was also gay) security guy that was telling about 25 Jonas fan girls that we had to leave and that the Jonas Brothers were 'already gone'. Haha sorry hun but do you know who your talking to? Us Jonas fans don't take no crap. So we all just stared at him and giggled. Anyway after they decided that it was time to leave they all got in this school bus and headed out. But of course not before Kevin waved to me. ;] I was just like "Kevin!" and he looked right at me (we made eye contact) and waved! Joe was being his rebel self and was pretty much hanging out of the window! :]

GO ROAD DOGS! (even though we beat you....)

It was fun. I think I should lurk on their hotel next time....Hmmm hahaha ;]
p.s if you click on the bus picture it will get bigger and you can see Kevin and Nick!

When You Look Me In The Eyes.

I catch a glimpse of heaven.

The concert last night was amazing. Thanks for bringing back so much of myself that I thought I may have lost. Nicholas you can still make a sold out arena cry, laugh, and scream. Chicago loves you too. Joseph, thanks for being incredibly hilarious and such a cutie, and for saying that the SECOND Chicago show was WAY louder then the first. Oh and for being MUCH BETTER. Kevin (or should I say Paul because I'm using full names?) Anyway, thank you for being incredibly talented with a guitar and thank you for pulling of a trench coat as well as you do! OH! And for waving to me after your softball game.;] GO ROAD DOGS! (sorry we beat you....)

Oh and Honor Society thanks for saying that I rock and you love me too when I walked past your meet and greet table and yelled I love you. ;]]]

Anyway, anyone who is fortunate enough to go to this years tour MUST! It was the best concert they have put together so far. <3

Thank You.

For everything you have done for me. Thank you for being who you are and not changing because of what you are getting. Thank you so much for pulling me through the worst of times. Thank you for being there for me even though you didn't know it. Thank you for being an amazing example for EVERYONE. Thank you for being incredible and so kind and genuine.

ONE DAY at a time.

Just one more day till the concert! Yay I'm excited, I heard it is 'Epic' so I hope it is. I still have no idea what to wear but I guess I'll just throw something together. I love that my mom delivers mail to Burger King because every Jonas thing that passes through that place ends up at my house. Like all the posters and junk. :] I have so much Burger King cash because of the silly gift cards they gave me. haha. I don't even like Burger King. Oh welllll.
P.S. Our Jonas mission today was a major FAIL. Oh well.
-Ariel

What To Wear.

I have no idea what to wear to the Jonas concert on Saturday. I really want to wear a skirt or a dress, because I always wear jeans and a t-shirt. Hmmm I'm not sure! I've been staring at my closet for like half an hour trying to find something. Nope got nothin'. Blah I have to go sulk to myself. ;] jk.
-Ariel

Every Part Of Me.

Maybe I will never be who I was before. Maybe I don't even know her anymore....

Do I sound depressed? haha, I promise I'm not. It's just every time I'm home it sucks. It's pretty much my life that sucks right now. In this post I'm going to get a little personal, please respect? I guess that's what I'm asking. Anyway lets begin.

I want to let everyone know that I love my parents a lot. They made me who I am today, the only problem is I lost that person. As of right now I'm not Ariel, I'm not the person I used to be. What I've noticed physically is I always look sad, and for some reason I have developed this stuttering problem. Maybe those things are because I really am not happy. My dad asks me everyday, "Ariel are you OK? Whats wrong." And I understand that he just wants to talk to me and all but I really don't know whats wrong. What I've noticed mentally is that I'm not all there. My mind is always on something else. And I can't cry anymore. Hahaha that sounds a little silly so let me explain.

Crying was my way of escaping my problems, trust me I used to cry A LOT! Like every day, not even kidding. And sometimes they were happy tears, other times it was sad or angry tears. But no matter what I never kept my emotions in I cried them out. One night after an event took place that I would rather not talk about, I told myself that crying at the drop of a hat wasn't going to work anymore, it was a sign that I was weak and that I let everything and everyone get to me so I told myself NO MORE. And since then, for 3 weeks I have not cried. I sorta can't anymore, it scares me a little because now I feel like I have so much inside of me that if I can't cry I might to something more harmful.

Anyway back to the story. My dad had a little visit from the grim reaper the other night and to tell you the truth it scared me because even as my dad drove to the hospital I was still not crying. My dad has a horrible disease that can kill someone if it isn't taken care of immediately. Well even though my dad had his near death experience (he's fine now I promise) I feel like he didn't learn from it and neither did I. This disease is in my genes as well but far less serious then my dads case, I've never had to go to the hospital because of it.

What I'm trying to get at is I've lost myself so much that I feel like if I don't find me again then I might be lost forever. I never used to swear as much as I have been, I never would look in the mirror and say "Wow Ariel, how about a little makeup, anything to cover up your face." I would never think about killing myself or anything dramatic but on occasion I don't want to live. That's when I have to think that God is the one person who will be there for me when no one else will He is always there. I used to hate the fact that my skin was covered in acne. I was ashamed and embarrassed, I mean none of my friends had this so why was I the only one. But I learned that I was the normal teenager, everyone gets a pimple in their life time. So what we have to deal with it. Even those big shot actors and actresses still get them, it's life we have to deal with it.

I've been reading Christa Black's blog and she has reminded me of so much that I thought I lost. She also has let me know that I'm not the only one that has had thoughts about things and she reminds me everyday that God is their and sometimes I have to run to Him when I need a little reassurance. I shouldn't run from God when I'm feeling lost or scared I should run to Him because he is the only one that will love me forever NO MATTER WHAT.

I spilled a lot in this blog. You learned a lot about me. Maybe I will do something like this often, like spill and vent. But to end on a happy note, I have two days until the Jonas Brother concert and I hope that I'll find a part of myself there. <3

If I lose you,

I wouldn't know what to do.

I don't think I could handle if he has to get surgery done. I don't know if there is a medical term for this but when he eats (usually meat) it gets stuck in his throat. It makes it really hard to breath and really hard to stand up straight, there is a lot of pressure on his chest. It has never been as bad as it was today. For the last 6 hours he was in the bathroom throwing up trying to get the chicken out of his throat. With no luck he finally went to the ER. I'm lucky that I only inherited a minor case of this. It has only happened to me seven times, usually it happens to him EVERY time he eats meat. It is horrible, believe me.

I'm praying for you daddy.

Mitchel Musso at the Taste of Chicago.

Had a blast at the Taste yesterday.

Had tenth row, right behind the nine VIP rows that were blocked off. Dead center. Mitchel was way better then I thought he was going to be! Jordan Pruitt, ehhh no she could have stayed home, haha. I'm mean. Frankie and Mr. Jonas were there! And we still have no idea why. I later found out that all the Jonas' were in Chicago yesterday.

We were all trying to get Mitchel to do the 'Taylor Swift' heart to us and he wouldn't so I held up my 'Chicago <3's You' sign and he pointed and winked at me and Hayley still had her heart up and he did it back to her, it was priceless, we sorta freaked out. :] Can't wait till August 15th.

P.s. VIA Mitchel's twitter :

It's a sea of people! Can't wait to get out there!

VIA Hayley's twitter!Can you spot us?

-Ariel :]

Happy Fourth O' July.

Happy fourth of July! This is one of my favorite holidays, we usually have our own display of fireworks in our neighborhood, but this year were not. I don't get why the cops can't just sit and enjoy the illegal fireworks. :] My uncle has done them for as long as I can remember and this year the cops start cracking down the law? I mean come on! hahahaha.

Anyway, tomorrow I'm heading down to the taste of Chicago, were going to see the bean, eat some food, and watch Mitchel Musso perform. Safety first though. This weekend there are over a million people in Chicago, Yikes! Hopefully they all go home today. ;]

Alrighty, well I have a fourth of July parade that I have to go get ready for so toodles!
-Ariel :D

Dreams.

I wish that every wish you dreamt would come true. Well I wish that every dream you dreamt that was a good one would come true. I had the best dream ever last night, but then sadly woke up. Maybe that's the purpose of dreams though, to show you something that you wish would happen but you also secretly know will never happen. Dreams are there as a sort of escape, or sort of a way to show you things in a new light.

I think I have been thinking a lot lately, like to much. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
-Ariel (if that is my real name?? mwahahahaha.)

Labels.

This word is my least favorite word in the whole entire world. I've had many people label me before they get to know me and it is hurtful. I've lost friends that meant a lot to me because of labels and I have gained friends that I never would have befriended because of labels. I hate the fact that a label can outcast someone and make them feel horrible or it can throw them into a crowd of people who use them in the long run.

I also hate when people say that you can't have more then one best friend. Best friend is a label. I have 3 best friends. One is my dad, my dad unlike anyone else is always their for me and it may be hard to believe but I relate to him more then anyone else. Another is my cousin, Kelly. Kelly is more like my sister then my cousin. We don't get to see each other a lot but we talk to each other everyday, EVERYDAY. She is always their when I need her and she is bluntly honest, if she thinks I look like crap she's going to tell me, and I love her for it. Lastly Hayley. Me and her have been through so much together. I don't really know what I would do without her, we fight but I think we come out stronger. She is also always there for me, even at two in the morning, and I love her for it.

Labels shouldn't mean that you have to conform into that one word that some loser gives you, whether its lazy, stupid, whore, druggie, or even smart. I haven't let any labels stop me from being me and I think that is really important. Just be you, that's all you should have to be.
-Ariel:]

Awww.

Finally! It's been obvious for quite some time. At first I didn't know how to react. I want everyone to know that I did NOT cry, haha my dad thinks I did but I promise I didn't. It's not my life and I should just stay out of it. I find it quite cute <3 I'm happy for them both, she seems like a really nice and genuine person and I know she loves him and he loves her. I can't wait for the day when he isn't wearing that purity ring.....HAHAHAHA.

Congrats Kevin and Danielle. <3
-Ariel:]

L<3VE.

I love love. I think that when you have someone in your life that is always there for you and you can count on them that they are worth fighting for. I think that loving someone and being IN love with someone is sooooo different. I love a lot of people but I have never been in love. At least I don't think I have, and I'm sure that when I am IN love with someone I will know.

I think you should love a lot of people, because if you love people then you will be a loveable person. Hmmm maybe I'm just rambling now.
