How to achieve.
In recent weeks I have asked myself, quite frequently, what I want to do with my life. I have just graduated from high school, therefore I now have to face my future, and stare it in the face. It has an odd looking face... very disheveled and confused; the nose is a bit crooked and the eyes are very lost looking. It looks like its in rough shape so far. What am I supposed to do with this face? How am I supposed to make it smile?
University is something I'm doing in September. That's a place to start... but what do I want to start? I feel like what I want to do is act... but that's nothing thats ever been in my family. If I were to tell my parents I wanted to act, they would laugh in my face and tell me to think again. Besides, I've only ever been in one production throughout high school, and I had no choice in the matter. I was only never in any productions because I was always too afraid to audition, but still.
I want to be big. I want people to know my name before I know theirs. It sounds bad, and awful, but I'm one of those teenage girls that constantly have stars in their eyes, seeking fame. I want to be known. But how?
Life can get so uninspirational. I need to find something to inspire me.

Random Picture of the Day
So I had an idea that I will be posting a picture every day (or at least try to every day, depends on how busy I am). I'll post a little quip to go along with each picture.
I'm just one of those fans of hers that don't care what people say. Yes, she has flaws. So do you. I love her for her flaws and her realness. So don't tell me she sucks, because I won't listen to you.

How do we drift so easily? We only live so long.
Us humans are so fragile. We take things so seriously, even if we claim to take things quite lightly. As a recent high school graduate, I am realizing how quickly my peers from high school and I are drifting.
I had a solid group of 5 girls, including me. We were best friends. One of them has left for 6 months, 2 of them I haven't spoken to since my birthday in mid-July. And the last one and I always talk, since we've been best friends since 2nd grade. Just yesterday I was going to see a movie (Charlie St. Cloud, which I will be reviewed here on Sunday!) with a friend of mine, and there was a girl working there whom I was friends with. She gave me nothing more than a tiny, barely-there smile. Of course, she was working, but there were no managers around. A "hi" wouldn't have been the death of her.
It's sad, really. She could have very well been thinking the same thing as I was - oh, it's her! I hope she's says hi, she's so cool. She might have been waiting for me to say something. But why? Why do people wait? We only live so long. Now the awkward phase had begun. I walk through that movie theatre very often when I go to work.
But really... how many people go through their lives without saying what they should have said? Even if its nothing like what happened to me. There's many things during my high school career I seriously wish I had said. I wish I had told that guy in my class that I liked him, or at least got to know him better. I wish I had told my drama teacher how much I will miss her. I wish I had told my math teacher how horrible he was and that he only cared for the students that already knew what they were doing without his help.
Seriously. I recommend speaking up. I wish I could do it.

Sunday's Savvy Reviews: AVPM
I'm going to start a routine where I do a review on something random, or something not completely random... on Sundays. Hence the name Savvy Sundays! But they will always be something that I like in general, or know quite a bit about. This week, it will be AVPM (A Very Potter Musical, for those of you who are ill-informed). I know this is a little late as AVPM was put on youtube just over a year ago, but I'm somewhat a new fan, and I only just created this blog a few days ago... So, comon now.
First off, I think the overall idea of a Harry Potter musical is brilliant. It's unique. I don't think it was done before Team Starkid did it. And to take something as serious (if you could call it serious) and put a comedic spin on it... Bravo. Humour was added at very favorable times (example, Cho Chang's entrance) and was executed very well. I tell many of my friends that aren't huge Harry Potter fans that you don't have to like Harry Potter to find this musical hilarious. Because its quite hilarious beyond itself.
The music was overly pretty enjoyable, although I find myself humming the songs to its sequel more often. My favorites from AVPM are Goin Back to Hogwarts, Harry, and Not Alone (all of them with lyrics from my fave, Darren Criss). Different As Can Be is also one I find myself listening to because of the humour in the lyrics, thanks to AJ Holmes. Pigfarts is also techinally on this list. Is it even considered a song?
The script was amazing. So much humour, so little time. Does that make sense? Oh well.
"I learned something when I had my body back, Quirrell. I learned that life is... well, its messy. And complicated. And you think that killing people will make them like you, but... but, it doesn't. It just makes them dead."
MY FAVORITE!
Talent-wise, I think that (in MY opinion) Darren (Harry), Joe (Voldemort), Jaime Lyn (Ginny), and Tyler (Cedric) stood out the most. Brian (Quirell) was also quite talented. I think he didn't get enough singing time, as his voice was AMAZING. In my opinion, still.
If anyone objects to anything, feel free to comment. Overall, I looooved the musical. It's hilarious, and it will never get old. I was always emphasis the word 'FIND' whenever I say it, because of Starkid. Thank you for humoring me, you're all so talented. You are my new obsession. Not creepy at all.

How am I supposed to get famous like this?!
I have a serious question, which you can see above, but I would seriously like to ask it again. I want to drill it into your head. I want to drill this question into the people's head who aren't reading my blog.
I've had about81 82 (I previewed this to see if it looked good, by the time its up it'll be 83) views by now, yes? Most of them from me, from the many times I've edited my template and taken a look to make sure it looked right. I have one follower (love you Emma!), and two followers on twitter as of now. One of which is one of my personal friends.
How am I supposed to get a bajillion followers? How are people supposed to read what I have to say if it can't get out there at all? If people are reading this, why aren't they commenting? At least comment. If I'm not awesome to you, don't follow, but please comment?
I'm a freak. I have actually GOOGLED HOW TO get your blog read a lot. Nothing helped. It said things like post a lot, or just be yourself. What really makes me laugh is when they say things like use lists. What?! How the hell is a LIST gonna help me get readers! "Oh, looks like she made a list. Follow." No. That's not realistic.
But really - HOW?! I'm a modest person, but what I have to say is VERY INTERESTING, OKAY?!
I don't get it. How am I supposed to get readers and followers if no one even looks at all. This is just sad.
