Day two : Everywhere

Hi there! First day of school, challenge completed. It was terrifying, but most everyone was really nice. During lunch i got a bit freaked out and decided to go to the library instead of staying in the crowded lunchroom. I wasn't the only one, so i met some new people. I fell asleep at 6:00 P.M. yesterday after school. Anyway, day two's question!

Where would you like to be in 10 years?

I would like to be somewhere new. If i could, i'd like to change the question to "Where would you like to have been in 10 years?" I would like to travel all my life. To be completely lost in a new country, because that's the best way to see one. I'd like to have been so many places and done so many things, and met so many people that little children will crowd around me asking for a story, and i'll have hundreds. I'm very much the hippie, free-spirited type of person, and i want it to show. I want to ride a train without knowing the destination, to wander the streets of venice singing my own songs, to walk barefoot through a field of flowers and swim in every ocean. In 10 years, i want to be wild and free and beautiful.

Your least favorite song?

Probably either "Get lucky" by Daft Punk, or "Turn down for what" by i don't even know i just hate that song. Someone at AFN radio has an amazing sense of humor, however. The song "Get lucky" played one time right before a commercial about unexpected parenthood. Life comes at you fast, huh?

A book you've read more than 3 times?

I have two. The first is "The secrets of the cicada summer" by Andrea Beaty. I love this book! I can never tell if it's a shorter book or if i just can't bear to put it down until i've finished reading it again. The characters are very unique and easy to get attached to. The plot is easy to follow, and her writing style is light and enjoyable. This book is perfect for summer reading. The second book is "In the shadow of blackbirds" by Cat Winters. This book just caught my attention at the library a few months ago, and i've checked it out at least three times since. Mystery! Romance! Fear! Okay that sounds lame. But this book really is amazing! Based in the WW1 era, and packed full of excitement and intrigue, it's no wonder the book caught my eye. It's become one of my favorites. Some of the subject matter is a bit too heavy for kids, but it's perfect for teens sick of teen fiction. It is a bit of a romance novel, but it's definitely not a "I love you but i can't be with you, so i'll sleep with your sister instead even though it was a misunderstanding and i could have been with you all along" soap opera. And that would be the plot of Arrow.

So. My second day of school. Wish me luck!

Welcome to my world.

Day 1 : The first one.

{Madison}


Hi guys! So for the month of February i was hoping to do one short blog a day. I'll be using the writing challenges that you  find on tumblr, that all have the same questions on them. I found three that i liked, so in each blog I'll be answering one question,  and posting one song and one book. Things like "What book can you read a million times" and "What song reminds you of something". That kind of thing. Side note : I didn't create these challenges, I just found them on Pinterest. I'm going to have fun with this!

Also, this is my first day of school! I've been home schooled since the first grade, when my sister and I went to a private school back in Arkansas. I'm pretty excited. It's 5:00 A.M. right now, and the bus leaves near 8:00. Which means that I could have slept another hour, but i woke up early to post this for you guys.
You're welcome.
My daily life is of the uttermost importance.
Bask in my glory people of the Internet.

Day 1

Discuss your current relationship.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAno. Unless being mentally married to about 473846856478568 band members and you tubers (And fictional characters) counts, then i am at a loss. I honestly thought my first post would go better than this. Next time the paragraph will be longer, i hope.

Favorite song?

Time to make up for the length of the first paragraph. 'Iris' by The Goo Goo Dolls. This has been my favorite song for quite some time now, for a multitude of reasons. It's haunting melody is completely enchanting, and it's sung with so much feeling that I can't help but miss someone that I never even knew. It's lyrics are relatable to me, and the melody is so perfect that I'm afraid whatever i type won't do it justice. It's the only song that I've heard by this artist, but it's easily one of the prettiest songs i've ever heard. Also the remake by Sleeping with Sirens was really good.

The best book you read last year?

'Maze runner' by James Dasher. When i read it, i had taken a break from books for a time (I was busy and wanted to play video games for once instead of reading) and couldn't find a book that really caught my attention. Then in the library i heard a chorus of angels and saw a heavenly light coming from one of the shelves. What could it be? I read that book cover to cover, taking in every word like it was the last one I'd ever read. Okay, a bit dramatic. But do you have any idea how hard it is to find a book in the teen fiction section that isn't about supernatural beings making out? It's not easy. I loved how at all times you didn't know any more than the protagonist. It made him relatable, and gave the feel of actually being in the maze. Overall, it was one of the best books that i've read in a few years. I definitely recommend reading it!

I'll post again tomorrow and hopefully tell you that I survived my first day of school. Luckily I have an awesome friend volunteer to take me to my classes, and everyone seems really nice.

What are your answers? Let me know your favorite song or book you read last year in the comment section.

Welcome to my world. :)
