It seems like every musical audition I do is trying to tell me I'm not good enough.
I am so sick of hearing that I'm good at singing. Either people are really b-s'ing me, or there trying to be nice. Whatever it is needs to stop. I don't want another person to tell me I sing really well then never give me a shot.
I didn't get a call back today. The funny thing is, for once in my life I thought I would. I gave it my all and I guess my best must suck.
How can I love something so much, and it be the only thing I enjoy, and it never work out for me. I just want one chance to prove that I'm worth something. Lately I feel like theres nothing for me to do out there.
I only like singing... but I must not be good enough at it.
I just don't know what to do anymore. All I can do is play chasing pavements by Adele over and over again and think about what to do next.
All I know is, this weekends going to suck if my friends get the lead, and make it then I have to spend the whole weekend with them, when I got squat.
Well have to see how things good tomorrow when the cast list is posted... but I don't feel it will be in my favor.

Forever Young
I remember back in sixth grade, I was made fun of alot. There was this boy, his name was Spencer. He always knew how to cheer me up. Sixth grade was a tough time for alot of people. It was the big transititon from when everyone was friends, to everyone needs their place. I had a hard time though it, and I had learned other people did too, like Spencer.
I had not talked to Spencer since sixth grade, only today I found out he had committed suicide. I am not sure why exactly because as a teen you never can really believe what you hear from others. Only I know, that alot of things must have to lead to wanting to take your own life away.
This is why it is so important to be kind to others. There are so many teenage suicides every year that's its terrible. Its so sad that a life is gone over a temporary problem. I know that Spencer will be missed. His death has affected so many people in my community already and I'm hoping it opens peoples eyes.
Even the smallest comments and actions can effect people so much. You never know what a persons going though, and some times all they need is one person to say its going to be okay.
This society is so hard on teenagers that its terrible. We are told to be a certain way, look a certain way, and fit in a certain way. We see and read things we shouldn't all the time because of television and the people out there. We are pushed down so we take advantage of our lives. We have great opportunity's out there, but we get shot down by others saying were not good enough. We need of have people support us, and for some people the love is shown too late in cases.
I will miss that boy from the sixth grade. His future could have been so bright, but it ended too soon to know.
Its sad. Its so preventable... but yet we don't see the signs and try to stop it...
R.I.P. Spencer Melvin, you will be missed.

Kindness
I had two choir concerts tonight, and as I was leaving I realized how kind people can just be.
I was going out to my fathers car with my bag of clothes, shoe box, phone, no coat, and wearing a strapless dress and heel. It also was raining and very windy and cold.
This grandfather held the door open. Then he also opened his umbrella and asked me where I was going because he would take me there. Once I got to the car, he opened the door for me and told me to have a good night.
I thank that old man; he made my night.
Love, Madi

Homecoming Dance
I loved the feeling of getting dolled up. First things first, I missed bowling to get ready for the dance. I woke up and got my toes done. They are still a nice silver shade. I then proceeded to do my own finger nails a nice baby pink shade with a sparkle coat all over. I then enjoying getting my hair done. Denise did a fabulous job.
The dress is my favorite thing. It was puffy and sparkled... it was like a mini Cinderella... and you know I love Cinderella. The only bad thing was my mother could not lace it, because it was a corset in the back. We had to drive to the football field where my brother was playing and have my father do it. Hes kinda wonderful at those types of things.
I then enjoyed going to the dance with my pals. If you can find my tumblr... hehe... then you can know how that all went.
We went to eat for pizza. This is because, some child didn't check to see if we could eat at TGI Fridays before we drove there.... we were not allowed in for being under 21. So after eating we went bowling.
I had a fun time. I creeped on some hot freshman boys, said I like your dress 10 thousand times... but it was the truth, and then proceed to crash at Anna's house.
I wish I would have gone to dances last year. I defiantly will from now on if I have a date.... hot freshman perhaps? Hit me up!
Love, Cinderella :)

It Is Possible...
Freshman...
I was one only last year but honestly... they shoved me into a wall.
I was walking down the hall when my earring fell out, so I nicely said excuse me and went to get it. They had stopped walking behind me for me to get it. Only as I started to rise... they trampled me. What, can they not see the girl in front of them?!? I then was shoved into the hall and tripped... by freshman. So I let out an, "OHH MYY" as I having my arms bruised against a wall. They then laughed at me.. quiet loud...
I thought that there was no way freshman could find something to make fun of me for... only they did.
Good day... good day.

Aunt Flo
My Aunt Flo has come for a visit. Normally after a person hasn't visited in a while, they normally call and say there coming. They don't just come on in and shout, "HELLO!!". Well that's what she did. And she got fatter and brought extra baggage. Its like shes bitter and came with friends to harm you... how rude...
By the way.. in case you didn't know.. this is about a women thing... that's not always friendly...

9/11/11
Ten years later... ten long years later.
It seems odd that we only remember so many things from our childhood. Theres one day I will always remember and never forget.
I was five, and going to half day kindergarden at the time. In the morning, I was doing my normal routine of flipping through the tv channels in my room. I came to a news channel, that I normally skipped because when your five those channels bore you. Only, what I saw didnt bore me. If made wonder. Why were they showing two building burning. I had thought to my self why are they setting those big buildings on fire and why people are running away or jumping off them? Didnt they know they were doing to take them down today of something?
So, I ran down stairs to my mother and I told her. She just looked at me like Madi what are you talking about? I explained that on tv, that channel named after the animal a fox, theres two big building that look alike. There on fire at the top.
My mother then went upstairs and turned on the TV. I heard them say two planes have crashed into the twin towers. I asked if there are people in there mommy. She said yes, softly and that was all. We sat there watching the rest of the newscast.
I didnt have to go to Kindergarden that day. The next my teacher explained it all to me in a way I could understand. How someone could be so mean and kill innocent people. I felt very sad, and still do today. I even cry a little ten years later.
On this day, we mourn the innocent lives lost. Only we also have to stay strong and know were still fighting. This day also symbolizes surviving. Just last May we killed Osama Bin Laden. We are going on and fighting. We have lost alot, but will not let them die for nothing. We have a stronger bond as a country on this day. We will never forget 9/11. Not today, not twenty years later, not fifty, and I hope that in a hundred years they wont foreget either.
Everyone, now and forever, should be proud to be an American. Where they are free, and will always fight to be.
Love, Madi McGuckin.
r.i.p. 9/11 victims... we will never forget.

Homecoming.
I may possibly go to homecoming. I may possibly have a date.
So it starts a little something like this...
I was sitting at lunch complaining about not having a date. My best friend Chris then says, " Well, my mom wants me to go, so if you really want to go ill go with you."
Nothing flashy, nothing mushy. Just being a good friend. I was then excited because i was gonna go with friends and have fun.
The girls at my table though it was cute but me and Chris were like what?!? He did really do anything but volunteer himself to watch me dance like an idiot. He cants said in the way u could be like to your friend, "hey, wanna go see a movie Saturday?"
I am just happy that I'm gonna get to go. I think it will be fun. Its not like i have to worry about impressing my date cause i wanna make him my man after.Heck no, I don't wanna make Chris my man, that would be weird. I look to him as the only male I talk to and a best friend forever (she says in super girly voice). So I'm gonna have to buy a dress and get my hair done... oh goody :)

Foot in the Door
I MADE MY SCHOOL PLAY!!!! I didn't even blog about auditioning because I thought i would just do this big post about the whole process.
On Wednesday of last week I had auditioned. It was probably one of the best auditions i have ever had. I felt really good about it.
Then on Friday I went to check the call back list. I was so nervous... i wanted one so bad. Then there is was... my name on the call back list. I screamed!! I felt bad after because there was people around me who didn't get one, but i couldn't contain myself! When at call backs, I didn't read for much. Which was okay, i knew i probably would just be a towns person. Then the cast list went up today.
I should probably tell you what the show is. It is its a wonderful life, like the Christmas movie. I am so excited!! Its seems like its going to be a great show, and I'm just happy to be apart of it.
Only now i do have to vent about something. If you do get a part in a show... you really should complain. When people get the part they don't want and get pissy about it, it gets me pissy. Like, be happy!! You beat out like 100 other people and your upset because your not the main lead but like the second. I mean seriously! Here I am with no lines and theres girls outside crying because they didn't get anything at all and your complaining about your fifty lines! I just had to get that out of my system, because theres others who wanted it just as bad.
Well one of my good friends got the lead as a sophomore, which is amazing, so proud of her! And then the biff got a speaking role and so did some of my other girls! I'm just so happy I get to do a show with all of my friends and that I finally got noticed by the director. It's my foot in the door for the future, and my way to get noticed and hopefully get larger roles maybe in the future. I cant wait and will let you know how everything goes!
Love, Madi the towns person.

That Awkward Teen Movie Moment.
I just got home from the first home football game of the season. I got hit with a water bottle in the face. It didn't hurt; I mean it was a an empty water bottle. I just did not see it coming. I was like that nerdy kid in the movies that no one knows exists so something always happens to them at the football game.

Back to School: Sophomore.
I wish I would have thought of this idea last year. I decided to do like every year a back to school update. It will be on things like how I'm feeling, what I got, and how summer was.
So here it goes, SOPHOMORE YEAR:
Lets start with summer shall we. Well summer.... summer sucked. I didn't do anything... i didn't even feel like doing anything. Think about it; i barely blogged. I spent most of it either at home by myself or at musical rehearsal, and to be honest, I didn't enjoy either of those. One thing did happen though this summer... I have an epiphany. Like I am a completely different person then I was at the beginning of the summer and I'm super happy about it. Which is why I'm glad to go back to school.
I am glad to see everyone and start new. I got new clothes that show my personality. I wanna find a hot guy and have him ask me to homecoming. I wanna get good grades and such.
Only the grades thing is hard now that school started. My classes are so hard! I am having some trouble but it will be okay. Only this is a new me and I wanna show it off.
Love, Madi

Awkward.
Right now... like right now.
I am sitting at home, it is 12 am. I am watching a television show called awkward. I love it. Its like my life, but I didn't lose my virginity. Especially not by an extremely hot guy. Only she wanted to be noticed her sophomore year, and that's what I'm planning this year. So yeah, that's all.
Thanks love,

Great Times with Good Friends...
or good times with great friends. Only one thought came to mind, we wanted to have a party...
That was a line from the opening thing on the Mary-Kate and Ashley movies. I had had Molly, Shannon, and Katie over for a sleepover after Les Miz yesterday... We never went to bed. Well, we had a 3 hour nap at 7 a.m. till 10, but still pretty much no sleep.
I had not had that much fun in a long time. We did karaoke, had pizza at 3 a.m, Scene It, tryed in a pickle, made a group and an autobiography, and watched the movie Flipped. It was a productive night. I laughed so much. It felt nice to just be with people you can be 100% yourself with, because those are your real friends.
Love,
Madi

I have gone swimming once this whole summer in an in door pool and I have had one sleepover and it was with my cousin... fun summer so far right. Also its coming to an end. I have had a very bummer summer and I am also to the point to where I am glad its over. I don't know why, I just haven't enjoyed it. Well I just wanted to give you an update that I am alive and well.
Love. Madi.

Learned My Lesson
Okay, so if you read my blog frequently you understand my obsession with YouTube. Well one of my beauty gurus has a website. On the forum there I had asked if I should cut my hair, big mistake. They didn't understand what I was saying. I don't care that I'm white, by the way. Its like a said, I'm always white. Never going to be tan; I don't want to lay out, i don't want to use fake tanner. I'm fine with my skin tone. Only one told me to maybe try wearing makeup to change up my look. Honey I have more makeup then you can imagine and know more about makeup then that makeup guru probably does.
Also they all said fix the layers on hair. Well I don't know if that will cut if for me. I just wanted them to let me know if I should cut it to my shoulders or keep it. That's all. I just needed to vent about how I should have clarified.
Love,
Madi.

Freshman End
Today was my last day of school. The last day of my freshman year. Only it didn't feel like it. I felt like just yesterday I was a scared little child afraid a senior was going to throw me in a trash can. None of that happened luckily. I had a good year. There were its ups and downs. I'm glad its summer now. I cant wait to be free and not stressed. I really want to improve my life and come back a different person from this year. I cant wait to enjoy life. Summer 2011, bring it on.
Love,
Madi

A New Day
Alright so I have been gone a bit. Don't worry I am back. I have been busy with the fact that one acts ended. It went really well. I had so much fun and will post the whole performance on here at a later date. Then we had spring sing choir concert, where we dance and sing and such. At this I did get a solo in one of the Justin Bieber songs. Best moment of my life! Also I watched all my seniors sing their senior solo as I balled my eyes out. I watched Hayley's and couldn't handle it because that meant she was leaving me. So I have been spending alot of time with her before she goes and been really busy ending all my school work.
Only summer is coming and I am so excited. Alot had happened this year and I cannot wait for next year. I have alot of news coming soon. But I love you, thanks for reading.

In History Class
Yes, I am blogging during school. Only we do not seem to be doing anything thing. I already finished my part of our project and we are just watching Pearl Harbor. It is a good movie but I would much rather write about how nothings happening my little world.
At school we have those tiny net book things. I hate them when writing school things, but for blogging their alright. Two kids in my class right now are having a bit of heated brawl. My friend Marissa has her music blaring. Taylor and Susan are studying. It is quite fun people watching. Well I have to go.

Alot of Nothing
My life has been quite blah lately. I love the new show the voice. Purely because of Adam Levine! I also just have been working really hard on writing new songs and on my one act. Then I also have huge competition for Vice President next year so I'm starting on my campaign now. I really want to win. I will be running against one of my best friends and that's going to be really hard for me. I have a feeling she will probably beat me, but if I bet her I don't want it to come between our friend ship. Also, I really want this. With not doing cheer next year and everything I've had go on in my life, I really love student council. Its a way for me to be apart of something I feel is really important. If I lose I'm going to just try harder next year and be okay but it would mean alot to me if I were re-elected. I fell like getting VP this year had made me feel a little bit happier and like I belonged in the places I was trying to, so say, fit.
What ever happens, happens. I will right a song about it, blog about it, and then move on to tomorrow. I have to keep a positive outlook before and after or else I wont ever move on from it and keep my head up. I hope that at least someone votes for me. I'm going to try my best and if i fail then it wasn't meant to happen this time around and ill shoot again; like with musical and play.
Thanks for Reading, as always,

Schools Worth Saving
Recently, in Madiwood(my own little world), I have been just living life. I have no amazing or life changing experiences or stories to tell. Other then in you live in the Crown Point School district you should vote yes to the referendum. There is alot to what it is about if you don't know, so I don't really feel like I would explain it completely. You should go to schoolsworthsaving.com for more information, also it will answer any questions you have. I know that I would hate to lose teachers that I love and lose programs that are very important to me. I also do not want my classes to go from about 30 kids to 40; I would not be able to learn in that environment.
Yesterday I had gone to a walk for it and gone from door to door. I had learned more about it and it was great to get the word out to others. I then tryed to make phone calls to others asking if they were supporting it, but I wasn't very good at it. I really hope it passes and that you get informed and vote yes.
Crown Point High School is worth saving.
Thanks,
Madi

Home Sweet... Well Home
Alright so I have not blogged since I did on vacation. I had a wonderful time, and have been home for a very long time but have not had time to blog.
On vacation I had ton a ton of things. I went indoor skydiving, which was amazing. It was so much fun and something to cross of my bucket list... now just to conquer real skydiving.
I also went into the Great Smokey Mountains, by car and horse. Then we went to the Guinness World Record display and shopping. Then we eat at some really good restaurants and the Dixie Stampede with some friends who were driving through Tennessee that day and a Murder Mystery Show. If you guys want any of those experiences in detail, please comment or tell me in some form that you would like to hear more. I would like to tell you right now but that would be alot to write and sometimes I feel like no ones reading this so I only the amazing things will be hear if requested, unless its utterly amazing, like if I meet Justin Bieber one day, then Ill tell you. Any who, I had a wonderful vacation with the folks and my brother. It was nice to just have a family vacation with no one else.
Speaking of artists like Justin Bieber, I recently became in love with Jessie J. If you don't know who she is listen to her songs. First of all shes British and we all know we I have an admiration for British people. Then she cannot play the piano but writes amazing songs and has a killer voice. I have always thought that I need to learn to play the piano to really be an artist and songwriter. Only she shows me that my dream can come true as long as I work for it. She shows alot. I can be wonderful without a piano... all I need is my voice. I love her and think you all should here her album Who You Are which just got released in the US.
Schools just the same. I have had my once act rehearsal. It is going to be super funny. I don't think I'm suppose to laugh during it but I happen to be rolling on the floor, peeing my pants laughing durning the scenes. I hope that everyone enjoys it. All people in the Northwest Indiana area should come see it May 6.
I am now going to paint my nails and enjoy some Jessie J music. I hope you have a peachy tomorrow and a sunny week like the color of a lemon.
Love,
Madi

Tennessee and the Number 50
This my 50th blog post. Oh thank you, thank you. No need to applaud.
I have enjoyed writing every blog post I have and thank you for reading them.
My whereabouts are currently in the beautiful state of Tennessee. For those of you who live here, I am envious. Do not listen to our commercials when they say theres more than corn in Indiana; they're lying to you. The trip down was not that bad. I slept in the back of my moms new Jeep. Only let me tell you, it is cramped in the back-back. First of all I was getting a tad light headed being taller than the rest of the car because the seats go us as you go back. Then the floor was the same level as my seat. Can you say that's awkward?
Why didn't I switch with my brother Matt? I am not sure. I think I wanted to have my own air control, which you can not get in middle seats.
About 7 hours into the drive, we stopped at a hotel for a short cat nap. Then headed out to our final destination. Our first stop was the worlds largest knife store. My father had bought a few throwing stars and such. I bought candy and tutti-fruity jelly bean flavored syrup.
Then we headed to the place I was meant to be. The Titanic Museum. It was absolutely amazing. We were not aloud to take pictures but I didn't worry about that once I was inside. I thought it was going to be cheesy but it wasn't at all. The workers were trained and acted like they were from that time period. Only the coolest part was that once you entered you were given a boarding pass with a person who was really on the ships name and story. Then at the end you could find out if your person lived. I was Gladys Cherry. The workers had told me she was the ships drunk.
The museum had amazing real artifacts. Plus I thought I had already known everything about the Titanic but I learned so much. They had recreated a lot of rooms in the actual size. Like the hallways for third and first class passengers. Then they made the best thing in the world.... they recreated the actual grand staircase from the original blue print. It was how the real thing would be. I walked in and cried. It was amazing.
I felt like I was really there in 1912 being a passenger. I was overwhelmed with an extreme happiness and it was beautiful, so I cried.
At the end I found out that Gladys the drunk had lived and gotten on lifeboat 8. The museum was an experience I will never forget. I am defiantly going back there or going to work there when I'm older. When we were leaving I brought a book with a ton of facts about Titanic and a book of all the passengers. The cool part was that the author was there and he signed it for me.
Now I am chilling the cabin, which I will post pictures of when I get home. It is wonderful. The view is great because were kind of up in the mountain and we have a hot tub on the deck. I am in heaven. I love Tennessee.
Love,
Madi

Theater People
So much has happened over the last few weeks, which is why I have not been able to blog. It was alot of theater and a goodbye to cheerleading. Oh, and did I mention that I now am 15 years of age?
First thing I want to talk about is theater people. Theater people are the greatest people in the world, in my opinion. If you feel down I say go talk to someone in theater, because we can be quiet funny. Like, everyone says oh the jocks or class-clowns are funny. No. They are inappropriate funny or they have to make fun of someone else for you to laugh. We are just straight up comedy.
I have spend the pass three weeks with only theater people. I had hell week, which is where we stay after school two nights during the week till 10:30 and go through the show twice and have a big dinner together. It was actually really fun. On Wednesday, we, the costume girls, snuck out for ice cream at cold stone. It was great to just sing with friends in the car and creep on Blake Zolfo's bill board. The bill board story is a long one that people who are not involved in Crown Point theater or other things in CP would never understand. Then Thursday was my 15th birthday. Thank you, theres no need to applaud, it was two weeks ago. I had gone to school and part of hell night that night, then my parents took me out to eat. They got me tiramisu and pasta; my favorite things are Italian. I then got some Marilyn Monroe movies and makeup as my presents. I later cryed when I found out my grandma got my tickets to see Glee live again.Friday was opening night and it was amazing. It was alot of fun doing the boys hair and makeup then helping with quick changes and being a part of it. The cast party was fantastic. I hopped into Hayley's car, she was the senior and the lead, to go to her house. We had a great time playing games and dancing till midnight!
This is the human pyramid we made during the party. The cast party was great, and so was the performance on Saturday and the party that night too. I loved getting closer with everyone, which made closing night even harder. The rest of the performances where great and when closing night came it was really sad. First we had cry fest. Cry feast is when all the seniors get to say something to everyone and then you all ball your eyes out. I did. I am going to miss all of the seniors so much. They really were great role models to me and helped me to find myself and help me know what I want to do and be during my high school career. It really means alot that they were the type of people that didn't care that I was a freshman. They still said hi in the hall, or commented on my facebook, and offered me rides when I didn't have one. When I'm a senior I hope that a freshman will think of me the way I though of all of them. I toke pictures with a lot of people and cryed all through the night, they really are my family.The costume girl senior gave us awards, a picture of all of us, and a little fake pink diamond. I got the award for Most Chipper, which really meant that I made people happy and they like my fashion. I think it was an important award that I made people happy. We had gave the seniors a pillow case with all of our pictures, a little sheep that they could count to fall asleep, and a big diamond (quinky dink much?). I was sick all that night so I went to the cast party for a bit, but then went home because I needed to sleep. I love theater.
This past Wednesday I had my cheer banquet. It was fun to see the girls, because I hadn't talked to mostly all of them in a while with theater. We had received awards. I had got what I believe are the best awards. They might not be about athletics but there about who you are as a person and I'm proud of myself. I got Most Spirit, Best Sportsmanship, and Most Respectful. I really wanted most spirit because I am such a chipper person.
Thursday I had one act auditions. One acts are small plays that are around 10 minutes on average. At Crown Point the senior thespians direct them. I had auditions with Shannon. She is one of my best friends; we met through theater camp in 6th grade and have been super close ever since. So we knew that we would be comfortable together and help each other out. So the whole time she was like that was great, yeah do it like that and at the end I was like they loved you, your totally in. We sounded like models praising each other on not eating the day before a photo shoot, we were so cute.
We went in to audition and our script was barely any words. So we did it the way it would be normally. Then they asked us to do it a different way. They wanted Shannon to be a fortune teller and me to be over dramatic but sweet. So we performed it again and Shannon was really funny. Only as I walked out I felt like I did terrible. I went home to my mom and was just so upset and kept thinking of all the things I should have done.
Yesterday the list went up and I was super nervous. Only as I approached the list I saw my name and I just thought omg I made one!! Then I looked and it was the lead in Paige, a costume girl senior, and Hayley, who I loves, one act! Hayley was there and she goes your my Cinderella!! I was so excited I screamed, and wanted to cry then hugged Hayley. Good news, almost like all of my friends made it!! Such as Shannon, my friend Alexis, and the costume girls: Elizabeth, Maddie, Sarah, Nina, and Anna. I am so excited.
My one act is going to be really funny. I cant tell you anything because I want my momma and daddy to be surprised when they see it and they might read this but maybe I will have someone record it when we perform and put it on here for those who enjoy creeping on my life. After finding out I made it and having a meeting I went on a date with Hayley, Paige, and another girl in my one act named Katie. We went to DQ and got stalked by a creepy man. It was extremely fun and I really enjoyed hanging out with new people. I cant wait to enjoy being back in theater. I will keep you all posted on my daily life activities, and because it is spring break more blog post will be coming to you soon.
Love,
Madi aka Cinderella
P.S. I am so sorry for using the word like alot in this post. I was reading through and I said it when it was not needed only I am to tired to change it. Sorry if it annoys you that I am not using proper grammar, even though I never do.

Loser Like Me
Hello World,
I am currently sitting downstairs waiting for my mother to help me with my homework. Why do I have to know how to identify noun clauses if I'm going to be singer. Its not like they have grammar tests on songs or else half the lyrics to the stuff they call music they put on now would get an F. Every thing is made on the computer, even the singers voices. All I hear is a synthesizer in everything on the billboard charts except for the country music. The topic of music brings me to the new glee music.
Next week glee is premiering original songs, only of course these can be found on a wonderful thing call youtube. Get it Right is like the song of me right now. It talks about feeling if you will ever be good enough. After I didn't make the musical I felt like I was never going to make it in performing and that all of me dreams were over. Only it talks about how I'm going to keep trying and get it right eventually. Then Loser Like Me is the anthem of my life. I love the message that one day I'm going to be big so any person who's ever said something to me doesn't matter. Middle school wasn't fun for me. I also had kids making fun of the something about me and sometimes it was my songwriting and that I wanted to be a singer. Only when I go to high school things changed and that stopped because people matured... finally. The song says that there going to scream my name and wash my car some day so keep saying what they want to because it doesn't affect me. I think it is the perfect song for anyone who's ever been knocked down. It says that its great to be a loser because other just wanna be one too.
I love Glee for that reason, that it says you should just be yourself. Everyone should just be themselves. It is much better to be an original than a copy. Don't follow the crowd. Stand out, like my bright pink sweater, because you get more complements for being yourself than being others.
I am going to finish my English homework now.
Love Madisen Marie.
Thanks for listening, well reading, through my crazy rants, random moments, and things in my life. Something had asked me how I let out my feelings and who I let them out to. The answer was easy; my blog and whoever reads it, because it means alot to me that they care enough to want to know how I feel in some way.

Oh What a Week... Or Two
Oh blog, there have been many instances over the past to weeks were I have yelled, "I need to blog about it!" Well you wanna know something, I have had no time to just sit down on my laptop and type.
In the last two weeks, one had been the worst week of my life, I got sick, had Justin Bieber and my brothers birthday, my last cheer competition, and discovered a top government secret.
My terrible week was indescribable and if I wrote it out, detail for detail, I would have a novel. So I'm going to give you the highlights. I spend my day off for Presidents Day writing a paper to finish before cheer that I would have for 3 hours. Only cheer was canceled right before I left the house. The next morning I choked on my breakfast and didn't get my coffee. Then I got sick at cheer practice. Forgot to do my spanish homework one night. I had some friends issues. Had kids who always make up of me walk in and see me sitting at the Justin Bieber movie alone with my mom. Which there is nothing wrong with going to the movies with you mother, but its not fun when you were suppose to go with a friend. Good news in I had a wonderful last competition.
I enjoyed hanging with the team on the bus for the last time. It's sad because you will never have that same team again. We all really wanted to win really bad.Guess what... We Did!!!! JV, my team, had an undefeated season. We had received first at every competition. Also Taylor Rusak got first in junior jump off, Sierra and Sam got 1st and 2nd in senior jump off, we had girls do good in the duo routines with Sam and Kara getting first, then our stunt teams got 5th, 4th, and 3rd. It was a good day.
Then I had missed school on JB's birthday because I got sick. I did not feel good all week. I had to go back because it was UBD's which are big tests before report cards. I hope I did good on those.
My brothers birthday was yesterday! I love my brother. He turned 12 and we went out to House of Kobe. When the chef did the catch the shrimp in your mouth thing he threw it at me. Only it did not land where it should have.... it went down my shirt.
During this time we have also had student exchange with Roosevelt High, where some of there students came to our school for a day. It was really fun. They only brought 12 students, so I did not have someone to follow me in my classes, but I got to go to the lunch with them. We danced and talked about many topics. In CP we are obsessed with the treat we call Puppy Chow; it has corn chex, chocolate, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. They thought we were eating real dog food.
Also I have uncovered a top government secret.... Okay not really but I have a strong theory. There happens to be about 4 flashing poles around my neighbor that go at the same time. I see these towers every where. So, I happen to think that these are placed around the world and create a blinking ball out in space. The government is using these to signal the aliens that we're here. Why you ask? Well so we know what they really look like when we make them in movies and television. Keep your eyes open people, you never know.
The musical opens next week and I have my 15th birthday, so I will keep you all posted.
Love the paranoid, stressed, and getting a hair cut soon,
Madi

Never Say Never
Blog, let me say that I have missed you so much. This past week has been so hectic that I have barely been home, let alone at my laptop. I have experienced many things this past week and like a half or something.
In my last post I mentioned how it was the blizzard of twenty-eleven. Well that wonderful blizzard had brought me not one, not two, but three snow days! Thank you, unploughed side walks of CP. In my school corporation we never get delays or days off. So every child in my town was super excited that we had a two and half day week.
My snow days consisted of the usual movie watching for me. I played card and board games with my brother and Allison. One day I had baked cookies with Dori and watched my brother and his friends as they wrestled, which I yelled about, and spill milk for the cookies, which I yelled about. Over all it was a wonderful, much needed second winter break.
During this week cheerleading was super hectic. We were in intense training for our up coming competition. Some girls took practice seriously, others did not. I love cheer competition and game but hard every single part of practice. Plus I have been having serious shoulder pains and they do not help.
I also then had an issues with our Saturday morning practices. This Saturday I had practice and ISSMA Solo and Ensemble at the same time! Now I know your thinking, well Madi what ever did you do? I calmly told my coach... she probably still was very angry. Then went to half of practice then to ISSMA.
For those who do not know, ISSMA is a singing, well they have it for instruments too, contest. Really you aren't versing anyone but yourself. You go into a room and perform a song of a judge, who then gives you a score. You can either get gold, silver, bronze, or participation. I went in all ready, and my dad had his iPhone ready to record. Only I was just a tad nervous at the beginning, but I got it at the end when I had the high notes. Guess what! I got a gold!!! When I later got my score sheet I discovered I was only 1.5 points away from a perfect score. I'll take it!
My father then later took me to Panera Bread for lunch to celebrate.
Sunday came and it was cheer competition time. We got on the bus at 6 for a hour and a half bus ride to New Prairie. Why we payed all that money and drive out there when we weren't competing against anyone? I'm not sure.
I was proud of myself, however, that I landed my backhand spring.Our Varsity and my team took home first. Jv also then won almost everything else we entered. Kara did great in the tumble off, and Taylor won the jump off. They also had a stunt off there. We had to do a number of stunts, then that last one between six teams was who could hold the girl over there heads longest. We were holding on for dear life with all of the CP cheerleaders surrounding us screaming that there was only one team left and they were shaking. Finally after what felt like a decade, we had won. The thing that sucks is that we didn't get anything for killing our selfs.
Other things had happened at that cheerleading competition that I literally am not allowed to say, but I will tell my children someday.
The rest of the week was just the usual, with homework and such. Only today was amazing.
I had decided to wreck my whole social career. Today, Justin Bieber's Never Say Never came out and I had decided to wear everything JB I owned to school. This consisted of four bracelets, a necklace, watch, hair bow, shirt, and I even had tattoos.
Now this was like committing social suicide. Not only would this cause half of my friends not to talk to me, but I would be shunned forever. That would then cause my never to be VP again and I would be very upset.
Some people had told me I should feel ashamed. Others called me a true fan and liked it. Then some simply didn't care I had dresses like a Justin Bieber dork.
Kierstyn and I went to movie an hour early. All I can say was it was epic. I knew it would be amazing but it was ten times better than amazing. My advice is to go watch it. Even if you don't like him, you probably will like this movie. It was incredible.
I now need some sleep for another cheer competition this weekend and seeing Never Say Never again.

In my last post I mentioned how it was the blizzard of twenty-eleven. Well that wonderful blizzard had brought me not one, not two, but three snow days! Thank you, unploughed side walks of CP. In my school corporation we never get delays or days off. So every child in my town was super excited that we had a two and half day week.
My snow days consisted of the usual movie watching for me. I played card and board games with my brother and Allison. One day I had baked cookies with Dori and watched my brother and his friends as they wrestled, which I yelled about, and spill milk for the cookies, which I yelled about. Over all it was a wonderful, much needed second winter break.
During this week cheerleading was super hectic. We were in intense training for our up coming competition. Some girls took practice seriously, others did not. I love cheer competition and game but hard every single part of practice. Plus I have been having serious shoulder pains and they do not help.
I also then had an issues with our Saturday morning practices. This Saturday I had practice and ISSMA Solo and Ensemble at the same time! Now I know your thinking, well Madi what ever did you do? I calmly told my coach... she probably still was very angry. Then went to half of practice then to ISSMA.
For those who do not know, ISSMA is a singing, well they have it for instruments too, contest. Really you aren't versing anyone but yourself. You go into a room and perform a song of a judge, who then gives you a score. You can either get gold, silver, bronze, or participation. I went in all ready, and my dad had his iPhone ready to record. Only I was just a tad nervous at the beginning, but I got it at the end when I had the high notes. Guess what! I got a gold!!!

The Blizzard of 2011
No, I did not have a snow day today. Only I will tomorrow because they already cancelled school! We also got out of school an hour early today. Was that not exciting?
My family had already prepared for the great blizzard coming. We had embarked on a journey to Chi-Town just to go to the world best grocery store, Whole Foods! If you have never been to one... go! They are fantastic. They are like a restaurant that you can buy everyday needs in also. It is wonderful. I am actually excited to go to the grocery store when we go there.
We got guacamole, beef jerky, and clementines. It was a good trip. I also got to spend the day with my mother, father, brother, Kierstyn, and G-Ma. Then we also rented 4 movies, and then today as my father came home he bought 5 movies. We plan on having a movie marathon tomorrow.
Upon coming home early today, I have been extremely hyper. I watched an 80's movie while yelling at the television during various parts. I changed my make-up and did an 80's work out video of my parents and grandmother. Then played kinect and made faces at the censor. I then ate ice cream and did homework.
Tomorrow I plan to write a paper, attempt snowboarding, and watch movies. I am so pumped!
Now I will enjoy listening to Free to Be Me by Francesca Battistelli, eat strawberry pez, and load up my lips with strawberry chapstick. Its a good night :)

When I was in High School...
I have never been so pumped before in my life. To think I did not want to go to cheer at the basketball game yesterday. Which was a red out which is where they givce students free red t-shirts. So I got a free red shrit. We were verseing East Chicago Central. Let me tell you, their cheerleaders were loud and all up in our grills. We used to think there was a think called taking turns in cheerleading, only these girls must not have heard of that. So Adri, our captain, and I were trying to be loud and out do them only we needed our team to help us do that.
The game was close the entire time. It was so exciting. We went into overtime and we were back and forth with the baskets. I was screaming my head off. Only, I was extremely angry with our student section. They were life less. To think they would have stood up or yelled, but no they sat on there butts all pretty. All because it was a JV game does not mean you do not show your bulldog pride. Then they stood for the varsity game, which was not at all exciting because we whipped there other ends.
Once the varsity game was completed the girls and I headed over to B-Dubs for fried pickles. Can you say yum? I was changing in the car into the jeans my mom brought me and then I was going to wear my snazzy free shirt. Only was I stripping down and like only in my sports bra... I realized I left the shirt in the bleachers at school. So my mother being the wonderful women she is got me a sweatshirt from Walgreen's. Then I was all good. The thing was it seemed as though all of the town had gone to Buffalo Wild Wings after the game. There was a table with the principal and his family, dancers, and other students. I had enjoyed my self though.
Our waitress was ever nice, but very chit chatty. She said she loves when high schoolers come in. So all she did was tell us stories about her high school days. She really liked us though, because she used to be a cheerleader. I liked her but not her waitress skills. I really wanted blue cheese with my wings but she gave me ranch. Then she talked so much I couldn't ask her to go get me blue cheese.
All in all it was a fun night. I am now going to write an essay I have been putting off by telling my mother I was typing it when really I was typing this post.

Great Grandma, r.i.p.
Earlier today my Great Grandma Reader passed away. She was a very funny and wonderful grandmother. I will miss her every much.
There are so many stories I have with her. I am extremely blessed that she was with me for so much of my life. Some kids never get to know their grandparents and I have so many moments with her. She lived to be 82 years old, which is wonderful. Only she did have cancer when she passed, so I am glad she will no longer suffer. When I feel better I will put a post about the hilarious things she said.
On the last day I had talked to her we knew it was our goodbyes. When we went to visit her she was blind and losing her memory. Only, I was very happy because she could make out how many people where in the room and talked to me. I told her about how I got straight A's and she said no surprise. She was always proud of me and said I was a beautiful and smart young women. On Christmas I had told her that I wanted to go over the genealogy stuff with her. My great grandma had studied back our family history for years only it was in her own version of a newspaper code. So no could understand what it meant but her, and she had boxes of it. As we were leaving she said I was suppose to go over the..... the stuff..... with ...the stuff with.... about ancestors. We told her yes grandma you just call when you feel better. This made my mother and I ball that she remembered that and also we knew I would never get that chance. My mother was crying, and so my great grandma watched her take a tissue and cry so she as her funny self snapped sarcastically, "What's wrong with you?" I love her.
I wish I would have had the chance to go over everything with her. I also wish I could have asked my great grandpa what it was like to fight in World War II. I think everyone wishes there were things that could have asked or done with there grand parents. Only we have to move on and think about the good times.

Fuchsia Cardigan
I recently today, as in during choir, was trying to blog because my dear friend Kylie wanted to me to mention that I was sitting by her. Kylie, this blog post is for you. Your Welcome.
Any who, my phone would let my type the title but not the post. Sketchy? Yes. So here I am finally typing the post as I have had a full day of adventures: not really.
I had wore a fuchsia cardigan to school for a senior named Paige, because I was describing it to her at costume crew on Tuesday. I then I told her I would wear it Thursday for her to see. I did and she liked it. I try to always fulfill my promises.
Today at crew however was not very productive. Most of the time I sat there watching the cast members rehearse. Which was kind of like torturing myself, but I had nothing else to do. Only after a few moments opportunity arose; to help Hayley, the lead, try on costumes. It was exciting, sort of. I did get to listen to her sing "It's Delovley" in the costume closet. Let me tell you, that girl is an amazing singer. I hope that I am half as good as her by my senior year. She was very nice and always thanks us costume girls before she leaves. She must realize we are picking out her clothes, and she probably will get better outfits if shes nice................................... I'm just kidding.
After helping Hayley I watched the cast some more. Kylie did not seem to be enjoying her self. First, I realized she was not singing. Then second, every time she turned toward me just smiled and laughed. This made me laugh and the people around me probably think I was being a freak who laughs at random things. Then once the cast was done because Lexi's mom is in charge of costume crew she stayed after. I do not remember if I have mentioned Lexi before only she used to be a cheerleader, she is really nice and pretty, she takes voice lessons from Miss. Shannon like me, we took tap together, and also she is in theater. I feel like we have alot in common and she is my idol. My mom keeps asking me, "Did you tell her?" Then I say, "Tell her what?" My mother then replies with that shes your idol. Now I want to say to my mom well what do I say, "I totally admire you and think your awesome and a good role model, because I know alot about you and your a senior that talks to me." Um no, that would be creepy and she would stop being the only senior to say hi to me in the hall. One day I will find a way to tell her. Maybe, ill just blurt out, "Lexi, your my idol," and walk away, but that might be creepier then the stalker vierson my mother describes. I'll think of something.
Once I was home I then decided to run/jog two miles and walk up hill for one. I did not treadance today. I think that will be my Tuesday work out. Now I have to shower because people probably would not like it if I smell and have to sit next to them in class.
Love,
Madi

Treadance Time
Today was a productive day. It was the official first day of my second semester of high school. This means I am half way through the horror of freshman year. Which has not been that terrible for me.
I only had changed one class, gym. I loved gym. Only, I already had two credits so why get a third I don't need when I could take a study hall I desperately need. This study hall idea did not go as planned.
The study hall I was placed into has 78 kids and only 64 desks. How this happened? I do not know. How I suppose to study in that type of environment? I am not sure.
Something really fun happened at musical crew. As you look at the picture to your left, you will notice four girls dressed in ugly, blue dresses. These are bridesmaid dresses for the four angels in Anything Goes. One has pants. We had decided to try them on to see how they would look. FAB-U-LOUS!
Luckily, we did find any other one with out pants and get to avoid that disaster. It was really fun to try on the costumes before the cast members. It was not fun watching the cast rehearse and trying to put on a smile, even though I wanted to cry because all I really want is to performing in the musical, not behind it. I do love crew, I just would love to be in the cast better. Only I have to get through it. I have to show them I will do anything and work hard. That's my plan.
After crew, I went home and created a new form of exercise. It is called Treadance. It is walking on a treadmill while vigorously moving your upper body in dance like motions. This exercise works best to pop music from the 80's. It really gets you moving and burning calories. Well I must get some sleep, to relax my legs from three miles of treadancing.
Love,
Madi

I'm Smart!
Everyone says that freshman always do bad on finals. That is either because they don't study or are overwhelmed. Well I know one freshman who did very well on the first finals of her high school career.
IT'S ME!!! So, this past week I toke five finals, well six. Only I don't consider singing for my choir teacher a really tough final.
I was extremely scared on my Spanish, Biology, and English final. I do very well in those classes only on the tests I always freak out. I studied really hard. I also tryed, as I say tryed, to stay clam while taking the exams. After all of my tests, I convinced my self I had failed all of them.
Good news though, I did not fail! Actually I did quite well I got A's on my Biology, History, Math, and Choir. I also got B's on my Spanish and English. Which I find this not to shabby. I was so excited when my mom told me. I also got straight A's on my semester report card. That's with two honors classes, thank you very much. Well so far today has been a good day!
Later tonight I hope to have a wonderful evening playing on the wii with my dearest cousin Kierstyn, then we shall go cosmic bowling and I will stay the night at her house. Only I was informed I will wake up with her not there because she has bowling in the morning.
I am going to finish eating my deep dish cheese pizza and watching the Breakfast Club.
Good day,
Madi

Mads from Head to Toe
Hey Guys,
So I recently, as in last night, made a new blog. Now this blog is not about my life but more about the things I buy and how I do my hair and make up. I'm going to be doing reviews for movies and books on there. I also will be having pictures of my make-up so others can do it. Don't worry though, I will still always be posting on To the End of the Block and Back.
You see, I recently became obsessed with YouTube gurus and I thought well I want to do that. Only problem is I do not have a very good video camera for that. So I could just put pictures and tell everyone about it. I just though I would let you know about it. You can check it out and follow it at http://madsfromheadtotoe.blogspot.com/
I will tell you that name just kind of came to me, unlike the two hours I spent on this one. Only I hope to get some more readers on that blog and this one. So tell your friends. Thanks for reading.

Did You Know Its 1/11/11?
That sounds like a pretty luckily date to me, 1/11/11. Only school had decided to ruin it for me.
They choose to give us finals this week. Even though we get Friday off and Monday for Martin Luther King Day, it is not fun.
I have been so stressed that I have accumulated a zit the size of Mount Everest on my chin. Also I have received no sleep, and studying is driving me crazy. Currently I am going over my history note cards for the 60th time. Someone please help me!
On the bright side, it seems like all of my friends had a great time at turnabout. I spent turnabout at a movie with my parents. Can you say, ahh yeah? It was better than sulking around and eating ice cream over not having a date.
Only have you ever though about how some of those boys might have said yes only so they wouldn't hurt the girls feelings? I think getting rejected is better than that. Its even worst if you don't realize he doesn't really want to be there with you, and is staring at the girl he wishes would have asked him all night. I'm just saying, its worst than rejection if you think about it.
Your probably saying, whatever gets you through the day Madi. Hey though, you have to get your self through the day somehow.
Well, its nightie-night for me. I have two finals in the morning.
Love, Madi

Happy Birthday to Mom, Bad Day to Me
Yesterday was my mothers birthday. Which means of course I would like to say Happy Birthday Mommy. Thanks for all you do for me and always being there for me. Her birthday was not such a good day for me.
On Tuesday I had to cheer at the basketball game. My coach has always wanted me to do a backhand spring on the gym floor. I had forgotten to warm it up before the game, so my coach wanted me to do it during half time. She then toke me to the side and began to spot me for it. As I went to flip I did not go back far enough and landed straight on my knees. This was not good you see because I was on hardwood gym floor and already had knee problems. I was in so much pain I didn't even think about how many people maybe had just saw that.
So now my knee is swollen and purple. On my mothers birthday, I was informed I should walk on crutches to help. Then I had to sit at a three hour cheer practice and do nothing. There also was other things that just did not help that day.
Today at school I then was trampled by kids in the hall. I got so angry I slammed my crutch down. Only I feel bad because I slammed it on some kids shoe and he almost fell. To that poor boy, I am sorry.
I hope that this week gets better, because so far it sucks.
From the Cripple,

I had forgotten to warm it up before the game, so my coach wanted me to do it during half time. She then toke me to the side and began to spot me for it. As I went to flip I did not go back far enough and landed straight on my knees. This was not good you see because I was on hardwood gym floor and already had knee problems. I was in so much pain I didn't even think about how many people maybe had just saw that.
So now my knee is swollen and purple. On my mothers birthday, I was informed I should walk on crutches to help. Then I had to sit at a three hour cheer practice and do nothing. There also was other things that just did not help that day.
Today at school I then was trampled by kids in the hall. I got so angry I slammed my crutch down. Only I feel bad because I slammed it on some kids shoe and he almost fell. To that poor boy, I am sorry.
I hope that this week gets better, because so far it sucks.
From the Cripple,

One Year Down, Many More to Go
To all of my blog fans, the very few of you, I want to thank you for reading my blog. It was this time last year I decided to write a blog, so it has been exactly a year since To the End of the Block and Back began. I have enjoyed writing all of my posts. It makes me feel that for just a few minutes, when you read it, that someone wants to know what its like in my world. That means alot.
As I rang in the new year last night I though about all the wonderful I was surrounded by, my family. This year I really want to focus on what makes me happy. Being around people I can count on, and that love me for me. Also like everyone else in the world, losing a few pounds wouldn't be bad.
Seriously if you think about it, no matter what size you are, every one secretly puts to lose a few pounds on their new year resolutions.
My horoscope says to pick a few this year Pisces. Then stick to them, it will pay off in the end. In all of the times I try to listen to my horoscope, it never works out.
Only I did listen. I decided that this year I will do what makes me happy. This means; being myself 100% of the time and not just in the comfort of my home, be around people that make me feel good about myself, and not changing myself like all the years before. I also decided I will work toward improving aspects of life. I mean the physical aspect, school, and theater. By this time next year I could have a six pack, in my dreams (I am going to aim for something more attainable of course) and be in all honors classes instead of two, also I will be in the musical. Hows that for every thing I could dream of?
I started off the new year shopping. I got clothes that I felt good in. No Hollister or things most girls would have. I got clothes that some girls wouldn't think to wear, mostly because they resembled the 80's, only that is a great quality in my book.
I would love to know your new years resolutions and how you spent your first day of 2011? Let me know by leaving a comment.
This year I really want to improve my blog. If you have any suggestions let me know.
Thank you for reading, hope you'll come visit again.
Love Madi
Happy New Year
