A few of my pet peeves

Okay so I am a little bit crazy (ha ha ha you've probably figured that out before now, but in case not, now you know) and being crazy means there are a lot of things that make you want to punch someone in the mouth. Well here are the things known as pet peeves that make me want to sock you right in the mouth if you do them.

• Eye rolling. It is so disrespectful that if you do it to me, I will not hesitate to punch you or scream at you, or both. (Nice visual no? Me screaming as I punch you. Ha ha ha Leonitis moment.)
• The word "whatever" goes hand in hand with eye rolling, and when done with eye rolling, oh gosh, easiest and quickest way to piss me off. It is like poring gasoline on my fuse and then farting onto a match. WHOOSH
• Stupid people. Um, you are in (or was in) school for a reason and weather or not you take (or took) advantage of that opportunity is up to you, but be forewarned, speak stupid at or around me, and expect a not so nice comment, look or a combo of the two. We are in the twenty first century where it is required not to be a moron. Ugh, how stupid are you that you can't even see that you're stupid?
• When stupid people pretend to be smart. Um, you're not smart so don't Freaking pretend like you know what the crap you're talking about!
• Using improper grammar. I admit that I am a hypocrite for saying this but it makes me want to slap a ho when people say stupid stuff like "those ones" and "just cause" also "I know, right?" Oh my gosh that is not English! I admit to using "Y'all" and "gonna" but I use them playfully. I know the proper way to speak, I simply choose when to use it. 
• People who sneeze in their hands, on the floor, or into their legs. Um, ewe! That is so nasty and I swear if I get sick after this, I am going to put ipecac (Meds that make you vomit everything in your system out within minutes) into your drink.
• Ignoring my texts, emails, or IM conversation. Makes me want to light your hair on fire. I am not one to be ignored. I am a writer, thus I have such a strong desire to be heard that I will do almost anything to get people to listen. DON'T IGNORE ME!!!
• When people go off in a different language around me. It is cool if it is just them muttering curse words in a foreign tongue (I tend to go off in French often) but if they are talking to another person I would prefer it if they spoke a language I understand so that I can make sure the jerks aren't talking about me. Two people go off in another language and I just assume it is about me and get offended. 
• People who complain about reading. OH it makes me want to drop kick you in the face! Reading is not something to complain about, it is something to be enjoyed. DON'T WAIT FOR THE MOVIE! THE BOOK IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN A MOVIE BASED OFF OF IT! When people say, "Oh, I'll just wait for the movie to come out." it shows just how unintelligent they are, and remember, I hate stupid people. Reading is so good and so good for you. 
• People who judge me by how I look and not who I am. They are not worth knowing if they are going to go by the impression my outer appearance gives them. I have more important things to do than impress people, and the day my mind changes about that is the day I give you permission to roll your eyes at me and sigh "whatever" because you can't disrespect someone who has no respect to begin with.
• People I don't know who touch me. I hate strangers touching me. I don't know why but it is like a phobia. Ugh, I hate it!
• People who butt into my conversation. Was I talking to you?! If I wanted your input I would've asked for it. Stay out of it or I will go all woman hulk on your nosy buttocks.

There are a lot more but I think that they are not as important as these are. Now you know how to not piss me off. You do any of these things to me and I will show you an up-close and personal taste of my ninja skills. I love you peoples. Stay Amazing =)

A picture of Me!

 So I could not figure out how to get this stupid thing to let me put a picture of La Amazing Staci without it covering, and messing up my header, which is like, not okay. So I figured I would just add it to a post and add that if you want to see me it is on this post in  my description. Sorry guys, I really tried. I took this photo on the last day of seventh grade so it is old and is at a strange, unflattering angle, but I like it. I might add a few more once I get them added to my laptop.

Be sure to comment and thank my dad for sending me this picture so that my Earthlets can see my pretty face. (Well see like a fourth of it at least. Boohyah. Let me know just how sexy I was as a youngin. (chidlet, munshkin, shortie, sevey, etc. Whatever description of a young person you want to use.) Love Y'all. Stay Amazing. =)

Lost

Try to help me understand something. How can a person be totally and completely without a path of purpose in life? How can you be so lost that you have no idea what tomorrow will bring? I see a few examples of lost people in my life and it totally baffles me. Everybody has at least a little structure in their lives; knowing the routine is part of life, yet there are people out there who are totally lost...The way we pick our paths is by making decisions and choosing what tomorrow will bring (or at least the consequences and general idea of what will happen) but the people of which I speak are too afraid to make any dicision of any kind. This quote sums it up fairly well.

"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; Who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worth cause; who, at the best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails at least fails while doing greatly,so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt

Those who are brave enough to make a decision are the ones who move forward in life. I personally cannot imagine life without the swiftness and crazy motions that make up the dance that is life. Living is choosing, and choosing is moving, and moving is success. Don't be one of those lost souls who have no direction, purpose, or backbone; one of those people that expect life to just happen instead of going out and making it out to be what they want it to be. I beg you not to. Here is my challenge to you, my sweet friends: Spread your wings and jump, even if you fall you will know you fell trying. Every baby bird has to learn to fly sometime, otherwise they will become pray to those brave enough to learn to soar. Leave the nest and move on with life. Value the things you learn from falling, and enjoy watching yourself rise above the tree tops. Know the worth that is triumph, and learn the lesson that is defeat. Embrace life, chase life, don't run or hide from it. True happiness is the high of knowing that your life has purpose, knowing that you are purpose. I say this with deep concern for the future generations, and for my own generation, that we might strive to follow in the footsteps of the great minds and heroes of history. So work to be Amazing, Try to be Amazing, and then simply Stay Amazing. =)

Friend Zoned.

Holy crap I cannot describe to you how much I hate the friend zone and how much it sucks being and putting people in the friend zone. Most people are a wee bit fuzzy on the definition of Le Friend Zone so here is my definition: "Being closed minded about a person; not wanting to ever see a person as more than a friend." Ghetto right? It so sucks having to put people in the friend zone cause you feel bad and there is always that little voice in the back of your mind nagging at you saying stuff like "You never know what might come of being open minded to this person as a love interest." and "He is so sweet and amazing, why do we want to keep him as just a friend?" (Yes I am talking about the voices in my head. You can't hear them too? Sucks to be you!) That regret makes a lot of woman be very cautious about friend zoning, but for guys it is like this: "She is nice but she doesn't have a hot body. Friend Zoned!" or "She is pretty but her personality is a bit strange, Friend Zone!" as well as "Oh, she is way too into me, I don't know if I like that...Friend Zone!" Keep in mind I am just generalizing it and not all guys are like this, and not all guys are as quick to friend zone as I am making it out to be. (Some guys can't afford to friend zone anyone...but we love them as friends any way :D) ha ha ha that face looks like it has a double chin. That is okay, we like fat faces. -seeing as how I have one...- I am getting off subject here...Oh right, Le Friend Zone. I hate being in the friend zone more than I could ever admit it. I am a person who is totally open to any guy I talk to-save for the creepy stalker vibe guys who talk about my mom's new blouse and how upset they were to see I skipped breakfast. This has happened to me before I kid you not...-Friend Zoning someone is not always a bad thing, it does have good consequences such as: keeping a friendship alive when it would've dwindled otherwise, attempting to not break somebody's heart and soul (note that I said attempt...), and finally it keeps a relationship from moving faster that you are comfortable with. Also it ties into my theory of how your boyfriend should be your best friend in order for Y'all to really connect...( I will get into that in another post another time. I think I have before...Let me know if I have already written that post, I don't want to sound like a broken record.) So here is my stance on friend zoning someone: If it is for their own good, and your mental stability, go for it, however if it is for any other reason than to save someone's feelings, it is not a good thing. Keep that in mind before you stamp someone's forehead with the big FZ stamp. (This post has been so grammatically incorrect I am ashamed of myself but it is late, I am tired, and you understand the concept I am trying to explain so I don't really care tonight. If you have a problem with it, feel free to edit it and I will re-post your edit.) Stay Amazing ;)    ( I have a question. Do you guys not get that I put the background as a bunch of little homemade chickens cause they're "peeps" and I am talkin bout the friend zone? that is why there are little yellow chickens.)

The "He's Mine" game

As girls we all know the "He's Mine" game we play with one another where if you like a guy you have "claim" and if any other girl goes after him you play that card. I hate this game with a passion, because there is no winner. First of all if you do get the guy you feel bad because you won and the other girl's feelings got hurt and you know what that feels like and just how bad it sucks. Second if you lose, than you don't get the guy you like, you get mad at the girl who did (who is usually a friend) and you get to watch the two mingle and flirt all the while you are begging for someone to stab you in the eye with a dull spoon. It is not worth it. My dad told me something that I had never considered. Why not let the guy pick? Well because the other girl (the loser) would be horribly heartbroken, and the winner would feel like a backstabber to a friend. The girls always know who has the upper hand in this game, and playing it fair (letting the guy pick) would be like "cheating" because someone always it better than the other. What is the answer to this game? The secret is not to play it. Don't catch yourself competing with another girl, and if you do, don't stress it. Enjoy the good times while you can and don't worry about who "wins" or who "loses" it is all about having fun with the guy you like. There is no point of putting yourself in a lose lose situation because it is always going to make more drama for you and that is something all teenage girls could do without. (more drama) Good luck out there ladies, may it not be a total bloodshed. (If you need any help with a problem like this, come talk to me or leave me a comment.) But know this, in the end, we're all going to find the guy we love so why stress it? Stay Amazing =)

New friend

Yesterday I made a new friend. (Why yes I have friends. *clap clap clap*) He is a friend of a friend of mine and I did not like him even though I didn't know him. (yes I admit that I was judging a book by its reviews) Well she asked me to have an IM chat with him and maybe get over the whole disliking the kid thing. Well at first it was all claws and teeth and then we got on a few deep subjects that made me stop in my tracks. I told him a lot about how I am like him and have been in his shoes before and then we just became friends. It is amazing (Like me!) how you can start out at one anothers' throats, and end up friends just cause you realize you have a lot in common. I am so happy that I didn't just brush him off like I would anyone else who makes me mad, but instead I let my friend talk me into talking to him. So here is to you Miranda, you rock. Thanks hun. Stay amazing =)

The light

Me and my mother were talking the other day and we got on the subject of life. I brought up the big bang theory and how I think that is how God made us but it is not the beginning of everything. She turns to me and says,"Well to me I think it is bull, because what good ever came from an explosion?" That made me think of something i learned recently. I then began to explain the life cycles of a star and how they burn energy by fusing together elements and once they fuse all of one element they began to fuse those elements to make another and just keep adding layer after layer of element. Well the way a star works is it needs to balance its out put of energy with the pull of its gravity. It it gets out of balance it will explode. Well the end of giant star's lives are when they eventually fuse everything they can and their energy output slows to a halt they explode, spreading the elements they built up into the universe and eventually those elements make a nebula and later form into a mass. That is how scientist say the Earth was made. So in fact, amazing things can come from explosions.  I then went on to tell her that everything has a good impact. Like death, it brings family and friends together and in some cases you learn from the deceased mistakes. So there is always a light somewhere in the black storm, you just go to look for it. Don't feel like you're grasping at crumbs though. It is like this, failure is the best teacher. Learn from the mistakes you and others make and work with them. If you have to reinvent the light bulb, but there is always a light in that hell hole of a dark storm. Good luck peeps. Stay amazing =)

Personalities

Personality: What is it? Where do we get it? There are like a hundred or so explanations that I know of-I know like everything..not to be arrogant or anything...oh shut up it is part of my personality and if you have a problem with it I will cut you like the heartless demon you are!-and it seems like even though they say everyone has a unique personality it also seems like they are saying we don't. They group our "Types" of personalities in all sorts of tests and "signs" like horoscopes and stuff. It is like they are telling you that yes, you are special but there are billions of people like you. Confused? So am I. But, I do have a theory of where you get your personality, like, how it forms, what causes the little defects. Your personality is based on a few things: Background, Values, and the situations you've been in so let's call it...Experience.
BACKGROUND: How you are raised affect how you react to situations, thus affecting your personality. For example, a little kid who was raised getting everything they have ever thought about wanting will not react well to you not letting him/her having something whereas a child who is used to being told no and hasn't always gotten what they want will not freak out but will probably just be a little melancholy. You are affected by the morals and the things your parents not only taught you, but have shown you by example. A kid who was raised with a father who worked hard and was very successful is more likely to be pushed both personally and by that father to do well in his career and life. A father who never even tried to succeed in life is not as likely to push their kid, however there are some cases where that patent will see their own shortcomings and push the child to do better than they did. Your background has a lot to do with your personality.
VALUES: Your values have a lot to do with your background. The things you were raised to value usually stay your values, for example a kid who is taught to value money because their family does not have much of it is more likely to value it more that a child who was raised with more than enough money. What you value says a lot about you. There are two different kinds of values, worldly values like a watch that has been past down throughout your families history, and then there is your spiritual values such as faith, love, family commitment, pride, knowledge, companionship, integrity, and so on. This is a kind I personally have more of. I care about honesty, loyalty, truth, love, freedom, and so forth. The things you value say a lot about who you are and what your personality is, for example, a homeless man will value money and food in his top values, and a rich man with a family is more likely to value family, loyalty, honesty, and so on. We are all different in the way we see things and that is just another aspect of your personality.
EXPERIENCE: The trials and the blessings you have experienced in life change you. For instance, my sister dying has taught me to love those around me more openly and often, and my education has taught me that knowledge is something to not only value, but to pass on. What we have been through in our lives not only helps to shape who we are as a person, but also helps us to understand and commit ourselves to the things we believe to be important. Think about a bad experience and what it has taught you, what you've gotten out of it and how that has helped you to work towards the person you are today, and the person you want to be tomorrow. Now think of a good experience and how it has taught you to value what you value and how it has affected the way you look at things. A personal story of mine is when me and a friend where watching this video and she started laughing, whereas I started to cry. When she asked me why I was crying I told her this, "Tears are just your bodies way of trying to show the world your soul. I am crying because this video has moved me, made me want to be a better person, whereas you are laughing because you have no other idea how to react." She was speechless. -Why yes, I am a crazy philosopher in real life situations and not just in my writing. ;) -
So keep on valuing what you value and remember this, yes there are people out there with personalities like yours, but none of them think exactly like you do, nor have they been through exactly what you have been through, so there is no way anyone can have the same personality as you do. The definition of personality -well my definition- is this: The way you react to a situation and how you respond to the world. So guys, keep those amazing personalities shining and learn from how you live and what life tries to teach you. I only hope you're listening. Stay amazing =)

Not sure

http://www.wimp.com/neilgaiman/
Me and my dad have been talking about my writing a lot and one of the biggest topics we've been discussing is my private blog. I am so nervous about people stealing my work and their judgment that I made my poetry private.He had me watch the video I have linked here and then we talked about it. When were talking about it, I realized something. I am always priding myself on not caring what people think and yet I hold myself back in my writing because I don't want people getting the wrong idea about me. This doesn't really matter does it? I know who I am so I should not care about what other people think they know about me. So I think I may make the other blog public on a few conditions. First: I get at least five comments on it telling me about what you guys think I should do, Second: You all become followers to the other blog as well, and Third: You do not ask me EVER if I am okay after reading my poetry. I am always okay. Writing is my form of venting and shifting and expressing my emotions so a lot of my poetry is really dark. So if you all want me to make my other blog public comment. Remember, it rests on your shoulders to give me five comments. I won't make it public until I get those five comments. Tell me what you think. ;) Stay Amazing.

Yogurt

Today my dad was home when I got home from school. I was doing homework in my room and he comes in and gives me a list of chores to do. I groaned and stood up to go do them when he added one more thing to the list. "Oh, and there are a bunch of boxes in the back of the truck I need you to carry in." He said as he goes into his room. I looked at him and asked, "What are in the boxes?" with curiosity burning through me. He simply answers, "Go find out." Giving him a suspicious look and a thoughtful "Hhhmmm..." I went to go do the strange request first. When I got outside I opened up the back of the truck to find a huge flat full of nothing more than my favorite food in the world. Yogurt. I freaked out and and took in the crates with a series of girlie giggling and jumping. While I was in the middle of a victory dance in the kitchen I start singing all these different love songs I know like "Pocket full of sunshine" and varies others but replacing the lyrics to make them about yogurt. Made me whole month. My dad is an amazing person. Thanks Daddy, for doing stuff like this just cause you can. You are what makes plane old Staci, The Amazing Staci.
Now boys, I know you may be asking yourself, "How do I win The Amazing Staci's heart?" Well I will tell you how. Give me yogurt. Simple as that. Oh and be kind, have good morals, and make me laugh. Happy Valentine's day my Earthlets. ^_^ Stay Amazing.

Care enough

It is amazing how one person can change everything; the way you see yourself, the way you think the world sees you, and the way the world truly sees you. It seems like everybody goes through a stage where they're not totally sure of themselves, or they feel invisible. I have the solution to this. Be a friend. No matter if you've known the person for years and you just don't talk to them, or if you do not know them at all, extend your hand, your heart, out to them. In doing this you will start an amazing pebble in the pond affect. Bringing someone up, making them feel good about themselves makes you a little bit more sure of who you are, gives them a new out look on life, and it creates an amazing bond. In showing this person that they matter to the world, you will make them more likely to extend a hand, and change someone's life. You will make the world matter to them but in the good sense of mattering. So I challenge you, my readers, to take the time to care, to show someone that they matter enough to you that you're willing to spend time to help. Remember, "Love with all your heart a stranger, and be loved all your life by a friend." I love you guys, now show the world your love. Show them that you're alive, and that in being so, you're a friend in the form of a stranger. "To be strong is not to show off your physical strength, but to show the world you can take on its hurtles. To be strong is to help carry the ones you loves' burdens. Being strong is showing your love to the world when they'd rather see your hate." -Staci Lyn. Taking the time to help someone, not only shows them they are cared for by someone they may not even know, but also they are loved by the God you love enough to listen to. Happy Valentines day. Now lets celebrate love by spreading it.

Fear

So we all know the definition of fear, but I'd like to give it to you anyway.

"a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid"

Fear in my eyes is this: A barrier holding you back from great achievements.  Being afraid to do that is what required and expected of you.

Fear. What is your definition? I'd really like to know. Being afraid of something is pointless. If you're not willing to just get out there and do it, then what is the point of living? What's the worst that can happen? Failure? Or is it that we're afraid of success? Are we afraid to see just how amazing we are? I do believe that is the world's problem. Not that they will not do well, but in fact that they will. In being successful we have to live with the consequences of that success. We have to take on the responsibility of that success. I love this quote, it is in fact on my quote wall in my room. What a great motivator.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." (A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles", Harper Collins, 1992. From Chapter 7, Section 3])

Take this quote into your heart, live it, or at least remember it when you find your self hesitating. You can do it. I know you can. =) So stop being afraid; don't let fear make you regreat your decisions. Go forth into the world and live your dreams.
