Aw....  This website served me well, but it's time to move on, to a new name and layout.  Unfortunately... 

Wix named it after the email I used to make the account instead of the actual blog.

l||>->

But that's just more motivation for me to make it popular!  If I can generate enough money from the Adsense account I used, then I can buy Premium and change my domain name.  So help me out here and check out the new site!  I'll see you there.

P.S.

...Okay.  I rewrote the entry, edited a couple of things, and it's done now.  Really.  Check it out.  I put a lot of effort in it.  *sigh of relief that this is all over*

This is the Last of Us (Lucky #15/The First One Was Better, Probably)...

     Hello, all!  G-star here, and it's my 15th birthday!  I've got a Birthday Broadcast going on Grooveshark, I'm wearing my favorite outfit (an Allstate t-shirt and comfy jeans), and, obviously, I'm doing something I enjoy (in the middle of class ^_^").  I'm not doing much today...just inviting some friends over and having cake.  My brother has his first baseball game of the season today so my parents won't be home too much tonight, but they're taking me to Patveli's performance (he's in band) at the IHS fundraiser auction tonight.  He said he might give me a birthday shoutout, so I'm looking forward to it. <3  My last post was a complaint about life, so I hope no one thought it was going to be my last...I was in a bad mood.  I'm fine now.
     Yesterday, as a (continued?) birthday present, my mom redyed my hair since it was starting to fade.  She got a dye called "sky blue" from a hair supply place, but it's really more like dye blue than sky blue.  I'd love to see the sky that they got that color out of.  She slathered it on and did it completely differently than the original stylist did...we rinsed my hair out later and a ton came out, but it was still really, really bright.  Honest to God, I felt like a punk rocker.  This morning a little more came out when I shampooed, giving it an odd tinted look.  It actually looks pretty cool, though.  I'll post a webcam picture once I get home.
     On Saturday night, as a birthday present for Patveli (his birthday is the day before mine, which annoys me to no end), we went to the movies.  A fairly new Dynasty member but old friend, Buzz, found an old gift card to the theater at the mall and we used that.  We were all supposed to bring $15 and pool our money later for snacks, but the amount actually brought was fairly uneven.  Eventually everyone arrived (I'm not going to name them all because I don't want to make up that many nicknames, but Patveli's best friend, another IHS girl, Rory, and MC also came) and we headed inside for food.  After we pooled the money, we but various boxes of candy, a couple sodas, two large Icees, and three -- yes, three -- large popcorns.  Overall...we spent about $60.  As we were counting out the money at the counter to pay, several of us were glancing around, afraid we were going to get mugged or something.  It was a LOT of money. 
     The food was worth it, but unfortunately, the movie was not.  We saw Godzilla.  I never did see the original, but I bet it was better.  The majority of the film was set in America, and there were only about two Japanese characters who actually received names.  The plot fell apart halfway through, which was about when I stopped paying attention and MC "zoned out".  At some point, all the American characters looked alike with blonde hair and blue eyes, and I couldn't even tell what was going on.  The special effects were pretty good, but that was about the only upside.  There were a LOT of explosions and guns.  Plus some obvious disregard of basic logic.
     *hoo*  Alright, now that I'm done ragging on Godzilla, let's get back to the topic at hand.  (And what would that be?)  I mentioned before that I'd put up the new site on my birthday, and I will...tomorrow.  I'm not technically 15 yet, so it would be a lie to say that I was.  (Also, there are a few more things I need to put up...including Adsense, I'm still dedicated to getting one of those.)  But I'll give you a teaser!  On the new site, I'll be putting up a lot more of my original art; the background itself is even something I drew!  (Honestly, I felt guilty using any other picture in case it was from an anime.)  But also, I'm going to be rotating through a few different backgrounds, and probably only one or two of them will be original.  I have a few others that I loved that I didn't end up using for the main theme that I'll have up on various days.  I'll try to change the background every, hm, week or so?  (But then I'll have to change the color theme every time...)
     As I said before, the name of the blog will be changing.  Since I'll begin posting around summertime, I didn't think it appropriate to name the blog after my high school experiences, especially since the entries have been straying further and further from that topic.  So, since most popular blogs have short names that roll off the tongue, I deigned to call it LaDeeBlog, and I will just be Sara.  The thing has an in-site forum (woohoo!  Maybe then it'll get more visitors if people don't have to click on a link to another site...) with a chat room, a full-on profile, and some other cool stuff I can't remember just now.  (Eheh.)  So look forward to it!  I promise it'll be worth it.  The next post will just be a short explanation for new readers with a link directing everyone to the new site, so until then, this is G-star, signing off!

P.S.
I just realized that this is the last official post for this site....thank you, Blogger!!  You've served me well!!!

If I Hate You, You Don't Have to Stare. _v_

     Hello all, G-star here, yadda yadda.  I just took a physics test, and I swear to God, it was the WORST-WRITTEN TEST I'VE EVER TAKEN.  There was a question on information we never went over in class, another on our opinions regarding a subject completely unrelated to the topic, and a bunch of squares (algebra, not the shape) that aggravated me to no end.  Not to mention the fact that, despite the teachers comforts that it was a short test (which it technically was), it took FOREVER.  And then we're doing a bottle rockets project with a bunch of supplies we need to bring tomorrow...that he only told us about today.
     To sum it up, my mood is pretty much defined by the opening English lyrics to my favorite KagePro song (Yuukei Yesterday).

They're all so happy and smiling,

 Sunny skies above.

Like they're wanting to get in my way!

I'm glaring

Holes through the sea,

Parting waves in this heat.

Was a long night, so good thing I saved.

Shooting daggers from my eyes,

As they step to the side.

...If you hate it, you don't have to stare.

     ...And I feel like pulling a dark Konoha and murdering people repeatedly.  Thank God my birthday's on Monday...it's motivation to stay out of prison.

DON'T TOUCH MY MC (The Beginning of a Wonderful Thing)!!!

     Hello, all.  G-star here.  Sorry I haven't posted all weekend...actually, I shouldn't be sorry, since I spent the entire time working on the new site.  It's almost done, (except for the fact there are no blog posts...) complete with a computer-drawn background, video of the week (I was lazy and the list function sucked), and a forum+chat room!  (Attached to the site this time; we all know how G-star's High School Forums went [or I do anyway].)  Several interesting things have happened since I last posted (that was Thursday, right?), including (but not limited to) Sock'em, watching two new movies, and a lot of gaming.  The bit about Sock'em is probably shortest, and I'm going to forget it entirely very soon, so let's get it done with.
     On Friday, Wolfy invited me to Sock'em at a local church.  What is Sock'em, you ask?  Well, as the pastor put it, "you put a sock inside another sock and hit people."  We split up into two teams by grade (it was a high school event) and went to different areas of the church to start from.  It's a pretty big church, which made it awesome, along with the fact that (almost) all the lights were off.  Since nearly all my friends are freshmen, I got to hang with them the whole time.  In the first round, I got separated from the others except for MC and then cornered by a group of seniors.  I was hiding around a corner when they got MC, and I immediately ran at them, deserting my hiding spot and shouting "DON'T TOUCH MY [MC]!!!!"
     ...understandably, I was hit too.  But I think I might've taken a few with me!
     Later we did a round where you could come back in after 10 seconds, but if a certain person on your team (the VIP) was hit, your team lost.  My team hid our VIP in a back corner, a dead end, that we could defend easily.  We hid her around a corner where no one could see her unless they stood right next to her and dubbed me the decoy.  They would pretend to protect me and tell me to run, and once the opponent chased us out they would leave that hallway alone and the real VIP would be safe.  We also would run at the opponent shouting at the top of our lungs to try to scare them off.  It was a pretty solid plan, actually...the only problem was we never got to use it.  We tried the "scream and shout" bit on a group we heard coming, but they turned out to be our teammates, and then no one else came.  Well, someone came to tell us that we'd won, and we had just started heading out when we found out that the round was still going.  So we sprinted back and quickly got everything back in place.  Later, someone else told us we won, and no one wanted to check to see if it were true since we had already had a false alert.  But it turned out that we had, and when we headed back to the gym to start the next round the church seemed completely empty...
     There was a small snack bar and I jammed my hoodie pockets with gummy bears to keep me going throughout the game.  (It's a very tiring game.)  Unfortunately, they kept falling out when I ran... ;_;
     And that was that.
     I went to the library on Friday as well.  They didn't have the next volumes for a lot of my current manga, so I began quite a few new series.  Usually the stash of manga I check out lasts me about a week, maybe less depending on the length of the manga.  (For example, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle is fairly short so it doesn' contribute much.  Nevertheless, I am a dedicated reader.)  This time, it's almost gone within four days, despite my checking out not one but two omnibi.  One of these was for a series I've been wanting to read for quite a while called Azumanga Daioh.  It was so cuuute...and the omnibus was for the whole series, so now I'm done with it.  It was addicting, and I stayed up past midnight on Saturday-Sunday reading it.  Too bad there's no more...
     Speaking of manga, I recently caught up to both Kagerou Project and Black Butler.  (KagePro still doesn't make any sense...)  Since I've actually been enjoying reading manga online (something I don't often do), I went to browse an alphabetical list for something new to read.  Almost immediately I discovered something called The Legend of the Sun Knight.  16 chapters, based off a Japanese light novel, and surprisingly good.  It sounds cheesy, and at first, it is, but very quickly it becomes entertaining, suspenseful, and even contains pretty boys, which pretty much tops it off for me.  If you want to read a translation (it's only PG-rated, I promise), you can find one here.  It leads to mangahere.com, my favorite site for reading manga online.  There are ads, but those are impossible to avoid, so don't be put off by those.  It's worth it!
     I spend literally all of yesterday playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl.  I started a new story mode file with my brother, to only do two-player.  We just finished the level where you meet Ice Climbers and Lucario...we played for over six hours.  This should be fun.
     He desperately wants to do a Let's Play video of it.  When it comes to Youtube videos, we're all talk, no action.  We had intended on making a video of our customized game mode for the Pokemon Trading Card Game, but we never got around to it.  I forced him to promise we'd do it this summer though...
     And that is all.  I thought I'd have more to talk about...I still need to do that entry on my "family friends", though.  I keep putting that off...
     As I said earlier, the website's basically done.  Despite this, though, I'm going to wait until at least my birthday before I publish it.  Why?  Well, I put in my profile that I'm 15 and I'm too lazy to change it a week before my birthday.... *mumble mumble*  Anyhoo, until then, this is G-star, signing off.

I Could be an Idol (Catch the Mimeball/A Mysterious Story)!

     Hello, all.  G-star here.  Sorry, I would've posted earlier, but my parents wouldn't let me on the computer until they got home from brother's baseball game and I cleaned my room, which was TWO HOURS.  (Until they got home, not until I finished.)  As an early birthday present they're giving me the old bedside dresser from the upstairs guest room.  I've been wanting one like that for a while, with drawers and such.  Currently all I have is a little folding table for my stereo, CDs, etc.  I had to clear out the area around it so we could move the dresser in.  I had a ridiculously large stack of drawings, several books I'm not reading, and two huge containers of...Pocky.  Mmm.

     Anyhoo, I've had an exciting couple days.  Yesterday in IHS Literature, we began the drama and Shakespeare unit.  We spent the entirety of the class doing improv skits and playing a game called "mimeball".  We used an imaginary "ball" that could change shape, weight, etc. and passed it around the class, gesturing when we threw or caught it.  For some reason the class took it very, very seriously, even chasing a boy down when he "took" the ball and left the room.  But either way, it was fun...

     For the skits, MC and I paired up and got this bland bit about being late.  Then the teacher handed out scenarios for us to play them in...heheh.  We received "accomplices in a murder".  MC mimed dragging a body, and throughout the script we kept glancing at it and wiggling our eyebrows.  Apparently our subject was quite obvious.

     Today we had Springfest.  You needed money to do several of the events, which the announcer person (I still don't know if he's the principal) conveniently neglected to mention.  Fortunately, I brought five dollars just in case, but I only bought a creamosa that eventually congealed into a cotton-candy-like substance, which, by the way, they were also selling.  There was an inflatable obstacle course along with a jousting ring, but my favorite part was the karaoke.  Yes, KARAOKE.

     Now, I'm not sure if you guys know this since I don't bring it up much, but I LOVE singing.  In fact, as I write this, I'm singing along to one of my favorite tunes.  So, naturally, I signed up as soon as I found out.  I wanted to sing Angels by Owl City, but as hard as they looked, the people running the thing couldn't find a karaoke.  So I ended up singing Fireflies instead, since it's more popular and had a 99% probability of having an instrumental version.  (Yes, I pulled that number out of thin air.)  And so, I sang the most well-known song by my favorite band in the school courtyard in front of probably fifty people or more.  I've done this at the talent show before, but this time I had no time to prepare and had to stand.  (I think I almost fell down once.)  While mostly I'm pretty confident in front of a crowd, I still get a little nervous, and my voice shook a bit.  But overall I'm pretty proud of it.  Smore captured the spectacle on video and I'll post it here just as soon as she emails it to me.  MC couldn't come though...because she's at a Cage the Elephant concert!!!  Apparently it was her belated birthday present (just like my hair) and she left after third period.  She's staying overnight.  Patveli and she both really like Cage the Elephant.  I don't understand it.

     I recently received a postcard announcing the Eagle Scout dubbing of one of my old classmates, Wolfy, on June 1st.  I really want to go, but it's also Patveli's birthday, so I have conflicted interests...in any case, Wolfy texted me tonight asking whether I was coming.  Now, this is where it gets complicated.  He hasn't messaged, emailed, or called me since I first gave him my number.  We have an interesting background, and I would love to discuss it, but I'm hesitant as he may read this at some point, so...maybe I'll do that on the new site.  But I'll keep you updated on Wolfy.

     Speaking of the new site, things are getting complicated there as well.  I found a bit in my blogging guide I didn't see before about keeping your blog design matching with your writing style.  Remember what I said about making it look like stereotypical popular blogs?  Well, those don't match my style at all.  It appears that I'll have to screw around with it to get it looking appropriate but professional.  But guess what!  There was an app that allowed me to connect the site to my Blogger account, therefore allowing me to have a separate page for all my old posts, including, at some point, this one.  So that solves that problem.  Now I just need to figure out how to program in the music...

     For some reason the blog music doesn't work on this computer.  I know it works because I listen to it at school, and it worked on here before, but now it doesn't...?  Oh well.  It's too late to fix it now anyway.

     My birthday's coming up in just a couple weeks (Monday after next) and my parents have been asking me what I want.  I have been denied my own laptop (I was going to label it Ramble Machine u.u,) and the Sad Kitty Hat from the Megagear store, and there's not much else I can think of.  I guess some Paramore albums would be cool...or the whole Otomen series?  Now that would be epic.  But a little hard to find.

     We-ell, it's getting a little late and I still want to play Minecraft.  I have another topic idea about some old family friends ("framily"), but they deserve their own post, so until then, this is G-star, signing off.

The First Rule of Violence Club is Not Talk About Violence Club.

     Hello, all.  G-star here.  This will be fairly short; there were just a couple fun things I wanted to say.  First, as the title implies, I am now a part of a self-proclaimed "violence club", formed by my Physics lab group (with the exception of MC's and my friend Yeoung, who is too innocent to join such a thing) after an intense discussion on the subject of woodshop weapon making, 'survival' classes and electives, and hatred of idiots and Frozen.  What is a survival class, you ask?  Well, by my judgement at least, they're classes that are always outside, where you learn to create makeshift weapons, hunt small animals, make shelter, and find food.  Obviously, it would be disapproved by the staff, but it would be fun, wouldn't it?  So became the violence club.
     Also, my school's Springfest is this Thursday (to my knowledge).  The principal (I think that's what he is?) did an announcement this morning, and got me all excited by saying there would be live music before disproving that.  But afterwards he mentioned that, if anyone wanted to play at Springfest they could sign up.  And so I am convincing Patveli to let our band, Handshake Spivey, play this Thursday.  I realize how unrealistic this is since we would have only two days to practice, but it would be great exposure...
     There's one song we've been practicing for a while (with a huge break between practices) called Drunk.  My only worry is that it won't be approved by the staff because of the title...but it would sure be fun.  (Yes, that is my main motivation.)
     And that's all.  Until next time, this is G-star, signing off.

Welcome to Social Media...We Have Browser Cookies (More Change).

     Hello, all.  G-star here.  I know it's a little early for me to be posting again, but things are just getting interesting.  I've decided to make a new site.
     Now, before all you long-time readers get all up in a tizzy, I'll explain.  Firstly, it's going to have a new name, for several different reasons; despite my self-proclaimed title as anti-social cliche-avoider, I have created a Twitter account, which you can find here.  It was originally meant to advertise the blog and for me to post things that are too short for their own entries, but too long for G+ posts.  So now that I have a link up here, readers will be directed there and then immediately be referenced back here to read the blog.  Evil circular media...
     Every form of G-star I tried was taken, so instead I named myself LaDeeBlog.  And, very slowly, I have taken more of a liking to this pseudonym than G-star....I've been uncomfortable with my blog name ever since I found out that it was short for gangster.  So I guess it makes sense that it's taken so many times on Twitter...
     Also, LaDeeBlog rolls of the tongue and is a lot easier (and catchier) to write in the web search than gstarshighschoolblog (REALLY long), not to mention it gives me a little more room for topics besides high school, which this blog has been avoiding mostly for the last month.  Right now I'm working on the new browser with Wix; the how-to blogging guide I got at Powells had several suggestions for builders to use, (including Blogger, no surprise there,) but they all required some sort of payment to do anything decent, so I disregarded them all.  Also, one of the better possibilities, Tumblr, goes against one of the rules I set for my new blog: the site cannot be connected to any social network (like Google, Tumblr, or Facebook), because it seems a little more professional if it doesn't branch off another site.  I also made it look like my stereotype of popular blogs; a little softer than this one, with a pattern background, not anime, and slightly more curly fonts.  Once it's up, I'm going to stop posting here; as the top post I'll have a link to the new blog.  I probably won't transfer my old posts unless I figure out some way to archive them in order, so new readers can browse the stuff here, along with some of the other stuff I had here no one cared about before, including my forums and some of the websites I had links to on the side.  I hope you guys don't mind, and I think the new site will be a lot better.  Until next time I have something to say, this is G-star, signing off.
