Apology/Queen Academy Season 1, Episode 2

     Hello peeps this is my second apology to you guys, and I feel like I have failed you all. You might be thinking I am signing off for good, that might happen one day but I have thought A LOT about blogging and I have decided to stay for now.
*Dancing and jumping around trying to look graceful, but failing because I am a HORRIBLE dancer*
Anywho I will try to be better about blogging but I might forget about it once and a while, so try to give me a break.

     Looking up at the title again you'll see this is the second episode of QUEEN ACADEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ginny told me she thought it was interesting so that inspired me!
This episode will jump straight to the girls registration so don't be confused if I jumped around a bitsy, but it will be just as good: Mia and Kit will meet new unique friends!

Queen Academy: Season 1, Episode 2
I don't remember a lot about the bus ride to Queen Academy except trying to talk and comfort Mia,  make friends with the other students, and stepping of the bus into the warm, moist air.
(These photos have not been watermarked, and I can't figure out a way to rotate them, so bear with me)

Mia and I make our way towards the front of the line.
"Can I stamp your applications?" a red-headed girl asks. We both nod and hand her our papers. She stamps them.

She sets the applications in a pile next to her feet.

"Your roommates will pick you up and take you to your rooms. Welcome to Queen Academy!!"

The girls pass another girl who is stamping applications.

"I'm here to pick up Mia," a red head girl in a green dress says to the secretary.

The secretary gestures to Mia.
Mia says, "Hi, nice to meet you."
The girl in the green dress says, "I'm your roommate. I'll take you to your room."

To me, the secretary says, "Your roommate is, uh, unavailable right now. So I'll take you to your room."

"Follow me!" she says in a preppy voice! She skips down the hall, with me close behind.

In Mia's room, the red-headed girl introduces herself. "My name is Emily. We both sleep here." She gestures to a queen size bed that doesn't appear very comfortable.

She sits on the bed and says, "Even though it doesn't look comfortable, it really is. I'm sure it will be just like home."

Mia begins to unpack her things, pulling out a small doll first.

Just like Emily said, the bed was surprisingly comfortable. Much better than her own bed at home.

"I'm sure I'll do just fine," Mia says with a smile.

The secretary unlocks a room and declares, in a sing-song voice,"This is your room!!" She stands directly in front of the bed, as if she is trying to hide what lies there.

I walk in and the secretary leaves the room. I see a girl with long blonde hair lying on the bed, her hair all askew around her face. She looks a lot different than the other students because of her attire.

I gently nudge her on the arm, and she groans. "No, don't steal my pizza you one armed panda!" she exclaims. I jump back in surprise, still processing what she just said.

She stands up and attempts to fix her hair. She fails.

"WELCOME TO OUR ROOM!" she screams. She then continues, "Was I talking in my sleep?"

I nod, and she lies back down on the bed, immediately beginning to snore.

I sit beside her on the bed, watching the strange girl.

I unpack my things, and decide to take a nap alongside her.

To be continued!!

Why can't we learn to be respectful?

Do you all want to know the reason we decided to take a break from blogging a few weeks ago?

Yes, part of it was inspiration.

Yes, part of it was school work.

The other part we didn't tell you about was that we were sick of being constantly judged. Sick of feeling like this wasn't our blog. Sick of hearing all of the negativity. We are so dang sick of it.

Maddie from Dolls On My Mind feels this way. To the extent that she wants to leave.

Do you want to know what we want you to do?

WE WANT YOU TO BACK OFF.

LEAVE HER ALONE. DON'T JUDGE ANYONE.

When we started blogging, we tried to change how we acted and how we blogged.

Well, we're done. We're going to be real for once.

Treat others the way you would want to be treated. As young children, June and I were always told to do this. Why don't we all now? Why don't we stop being so judgmental?

If someone doesn't like the same things as you, there is NO reason that you need to say nasty things to them about what they like. How would you feel if others started to do that to you? I'm sure you'd feel absolutely peachy. Just peachy.

Let others like what they want. YOU CAN'T CHANGE PEOPLE. There is no reason to be so disrespectful that you make others feel unwelcomed. 

I need you all to do something for me. BE REAL. Write posts that truly represent you. Not a post that conforms to what everyone wants you to write. Write how you really feel. Write about what truly makes you happy. 

Make the AG blogging world a fun place to be. Not a place that we all hate. Make all feel welcome. BE ESPECIALLY NICE TO MADDIE. NOT FAKEY NICE. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY, THEN JUST DON'T COMMENT. If you wouldn't say it in person, don't say it over the internet. EVER. This doesn't just apply to the blogging world. Do this whenever you're on the internet. Do this in everyday life. 

GROW UP. There is absolutely no reason to be unnecessarily nasty. NO REASON. 

We all have a right to blog. We all have the right to do what we love. Allow others to exercise these rights. Don't make others feel like crap. Lift others up, don't shove them down. 

My rant is over for now, but if this continues, you can bet that I will start again. 

Don't doubt it. 

Drumroll Please....

I got a little bored, so I decided to create a new blog.

*throws multi-color confetti*

I decided that too often, I feel like ranting about stuff on this blog. This is also why I made a new blog.

So you guys may visit if you wish----> here

Other than that, I have no announcements, so have a lovely day! :D

It's been raining for basically all of the month of May, so I'm lucky I got these pictures of Grace. xD (Not Watermarked)

So, I took her braids out! Once I took them out, I kind of regretted it, but now I'm loving it. :D

So. I have decided to stick with the the blog. I'm not sure what June has decided, but I hope she will make a decision soon. *twiddles thumbs*

Are any of you doing anything fun during the summer? I know I'm going to a camp and on vacation later on. And reading. Lots of reading. :D Ooh, and anxiously waiting for test scores. 

Have a fabulous rest of your weekend!

and

Can We Talk?

Do you ever get so overwhelmed in life that you want to scream? I guess that is a good way of explaining how June and I feel right now.

No, we're not leaving, but we do believe that it's time to take a break from blogging until at least the end of the school year.

We haven't had inspiration recently,  so it's been hard to post.

We just need some time to focus on maintaining our grades and on school in general.

I promise we're not leaving. If that ever happens, it won't be anytime soon.

We'll try to get our spark back before summer so that we can hopefully post a bit more.

Thanks for understanding ♥

Well, that is about as close as I get to a creative title. xD I took these photos of Julie a while back, and they're certainly some of my favorites. To be honest, I'm still surprised I was able to wrestle her into this dress. It was supposed to look more like Grace's Opening Night Dress, but I had a few issues with the tulle. xD Instead it turned into a retro business type of outfit. Just pink. xD

Last week, all of the plants were starting to turn green, and the lilac was starting to bloom, and guess what happened...

Boom. 8 inches of snow yesterday. :P 

Eh, I suppose I'll have to wait to take photos of the greenery. :P

I have pictures taken for a photostory, so that should be up soon my dears!

I'm Feeling a Bit of Nostalgia

The title. Nostalgia. A feeling we all get occasionally when we see something that reminds us of something that happened in the past. That is what happened when my mom and I began to look up film cameras. She looked up "Pentax K1000" on Shop Goodwill, and I was aflood in nostalgia. I thought of the times when I was just little. My grandfather would set up his seemingly archaic Pentax K1000 on a rickety tripod, adjust it for what seemed like forever, and then hit the shutter and run to get in the family photo. I found his old camera while at his house a few months ago, and I studied all of the dials on the top. I perused this fascinating camera for quite a while. About three weeks ago, I went to parent teacher conferences with my mom, and we met with my photography teacher. She told me about the film photography class that she taught. She really wanted me to take it. I thought it sounded fun; who wouldn't love to learn to develop photos? But I didn't have a film camera. The teacher told me that they could be found for very cheap online. In other words, after days of searching for a suitably priced camera and waiting for what seemed like an eternity for it to arrive, I got this little beauty:

 I named her Vera, because I'm weird. (I name some of my possessions; for instance, my Nikon camera is named Violet, my sewing machine is named Velvet, and my violin is named Autumn. Apparently, I like names with V's in them. xD) Vera is a Pentax K1000, just like my grandfather's camera. Pentax K1000's are film cameras, so I won't be able to post the pictures I take with it on here as digital copies. However, I may do a photoshoot with all of the photos once they're developed. S;)

 If any of you are interested in buying an SLR film camera, I definitely recommend this one. There are TONS of them out there still, because they were produced for twenty years, and were very popular. I haven't had any of the photos I've taken with it developed, but from what I can tell, it takes absolutely lovely pictures. 

I would have posted this sooner (I got the camera nearly two weeks ago), but I have had loads of homework, and I had some oral surgery done two weeks ago, so I've been recovering from that. :) Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this post, and I can't wait to start showing you some of the photos I take with Vera! :)

Au revoir, mes cheries!
