Hey all! I know that I changed my blog name a few months earlier (A Love Hate Masquerade) and now I am changing it again. At the time that I chose the name, A Love Hate Masquerade, there were things that I was going through and the name fit me at the time very well. But I eventually moved and and got over those things I was feeling. Now with the new name (One Girl Revolution) it pretty much describes every girl on the face  of the earth.  As a one girl revolution, I stand up for who I am and what I believe and not let the world change my thoughts or beliefs. So I just felt that this new name fit who I am better than “A Love Hate Masquerade.”

So it has been forever since I last listened to DC Talk and their song “Jesus Freak.”  Well ever since I got an Ipod video nano for Christmas, I have been able to put a lot more songs on it then my previous mp3 player (Ipod - 4G) so I decided to put two DC Talk songs on, “Jesus Freak and My Friend (So Long)”.  I never had really listened to the lyrics for the song “Jesus Freak” until recently and I when I had I busted out laughing at the first verse!

This just absolutely made me laugh:

“I saw a man with tat on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
Cause I had to match the rhythm
Of his belly with my head
jesus saves is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city
And claimed he had a dream”

But my favorite line in the song “Jesus Freak” is:

“People say I’m strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger”

I love that line! 

Hey so most of you know that I have dyed my hair in the past (blonde, dark red/purple w/ pink highlights). Well I decided that I was done with the red and wanted to go back to brown (my natural color) so I got a brown hair dye as close as I could to my natural color, but the red was sooo strong that it only lighter or less noticeable. I have lately loved my darker brown hair (a mixture of the brown and red) and thought what I would look like with….black hair! So since black is very permanent and if I didn’t like it well, tough luck trying to get rid of it! So I got a semi-permanent (which will wash out completely after 8-10 shampoos) in black. And again the red was really strong so it is not black but a really dark brown with a little black. I will post a picture on my flicker account (there is a link to it on my site) later.

*Update-I will not be posting a pic of my hair because I forgot to take the picture and now the color is fading/faded.

So just the other day my mom was watching the redneck/hillbilly comedy and was watching a Korean comedian with a southern accent (interesting combo?!?). Anyway for a non-Christian comedian he was very clean. He had this one thing he said he learned from his wife (who grew up in a small Alabama town) that you can insult anyone as long as after you insult them you saw “Bless their heart”. Then you are clean, it makes a clean slate like you never said it. Anyway check out part of his routine on YouTube:

Hey guys just thought I’d let you know I changed the end of Chapter 10B a little.

Hey guys I took the SATs a little while back and got my results and thought I’d let you know how I did.

• Math - 460
• Critical Reading - 500
• Writing - 480
• Essay - 6 (under the writing section)

Hey all! Just thought I’d tell you that I finally wrote Chapter 10 Part B to my Adventures of Captain Bronze story. I hope you are enjoying it! Please let me know what you think of it or if you have an suggestions. I will be writing more very soon.

AHHHHHH!!!!!! Ok for my past High school years I have had it easier than I will this year. I have a ton of stuff I didn’t think of, like College applications. While studying for the SAT, I came across a “Plan of Action” for seniors (for High School not old peeps) and the senior year of High School. They made the suggestion of finding 4 or 5 colleges you would be interested in going to and apply for them in the fall. So guess what I have been doing for the past 3 or so days…..looking at colleges. And let me tell you THEY ARE FREAKIN EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!! I was looking at them and nearly had a heart attack at the price for just tuition, one of the cheaper colleges was about $24,500 just for tuition. No books, no dorm, no class, nothing, just tuition! Yikes! Apparently to get into college you need this crazy thing called MONEY, which I don’t have!

So I was thinking of getting a summer job this past summer, as you can tell that didn’t happen, but I was unable because of everything going on and me having to take the SAT prep course and my parents didn’t want to add more on. Then I thought maybe a job over the school year, and that definitely is not going to happen! My school day will probably end around 6 p.m. (if I am lucky!). And I have reports, current events, and book reports just about every month. Again Yikes!

Also this year cause I am taking Physical Education I am to choose a sport or something like that (walking, running, swimming, soccer, volleyball, etc.) and then everyday (Mon-Thrus) I am to “train” myself to be able to meet the Skills Test (Fri). So for running by the end of the week I need to run a mile in 14 min, then each week the time gets less or the miles get longer. Now all you peeps in shape are thinking, “Oh that is nothing. Piece of cake.” Right?!?! Not so much for me. I was never really a “in-shape” kinda girl. Well I was till we started homeschooling and then I really didn’t do P.E. except for riding my bike or swimming, normal stuff. So it is definitely going to be a challenge for me. But with me dieting and then this P.E. class I will be in great shape!!! Oh yeah baby!

Hey, if any of you are interested to check out the “Plan of Action” thingie click here They also have a “Plan of Action” for juniors in High School. I really suggest it so you are well prepared for the upcoming years. They have great tips for lots of things, help with the SAT, and helps you find colleges. So check it out, explore it!

Hey also if you have any tips for me about the running and how not to kill my body, please share *sniff* please!

O.N.U.R. means Out Number Under Resourced. Some have used it as an excuse for the reason the army is still fighting this war with Iraq. But it applies to the Christians of today or really at any time. This week it was the message from our pastor. He had a cool little slogan for the Christians:

O.N.U.R.

Out Numbered Under Resourced

But Still Winning!

Just an interesting thought, I guess. Thought I’d share.

Hey all! I just celebrated my 17th birthday not to long ago and now I am beginning to feel old! When I turned 16I was like “Yeah baby! Watch out world I am ready to drive!!!”. But know I realize “Wow, I only got one more year till I go to college!”. I need to start thinking of what I am going to do, where I am going to go, and the biggest question-How the heck am I going to pay for it??!!!?. This last year of school (although it is cool to be a Senior!) will be the hardest year of my life! I am taking Physics, Advanced Mathematic, Economics, Computer Applications, Keyboarding, Life Managment (Bible course to help you live a good Christain life), Revelation (Bible course), Speech, Physical Education (in the past years we had no proof that I did it so I have to take it this year), and English 12. That will be 10 subjects! Oh yeah, and I am taking the SATs this fall! That will be great!!! So over the summer I will be taking a SAT prep course and Spelling (because I have to be the worst speller in history!). Anyway I got a lot ahead of me I wasn’t quite prepared for and can only hope I make it out with my sanity!
