Josie Loves Doctor Who

Today's the day!  Hip-Hip, Hooray!

Doctor Who continues today!  Do you know how excited I am?  I am on the season finale of Season 6, so I need to finish that episode before tonight.  I want to see if I can go over to my grandmother's house to watch it!

Bubbles says: More poeple have been liking my page, some of which I've never met. But, that's good! That way I get more people to like it and I end up as famous as Waldo or Cereal Guy! Woohoo! Keep the likes coming!

Josie Plays the Trumpets

DA-DADA-DUH DUH DUH DAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations!  You have reached my personal blog!  And I have returned after such a long time!  I've decided to organize my time a lot more, so that means less free time to just lay around and watch TV.  Well, I mean, I'm watching Lie to Me* right now, but I'm writing whilst I'm watching.

Yes, I said whilst.  I'm becoming a much better writer, did you notice?  Mrs. Harmon is so helpful at that.

I'm trying out for section leader in band.  That means I have to teach three people how to march.  I'm teaching people that are coming into marching band either next year, the year after that, or a few years after I leave.  And they're all girls.  I'm going to be teaching by my sister/friend, Carissa.  She's trying out as well.  And I really need help with my marching.  My slides aren't the greatest, I can tell you that.  I swear, if you see me and compare me to some of the other freshman, you'll think I'm worth dog crap.  Mainly I'm doing this for experience.  And I want to be a teacher, so this might help if I actually do become section leader, or even drum major when I'm a senior.

Crap.  I forgot to bring my choir folder home.  We have a contest in a few days, and I need to work on my Russian.  It's pretty bad.  I also need to work on my vowels, breathing, and my Old English.  So, in all, I have two songs in Latin, two in English, one in Old English, and one in Russian.  I love the Russian.  It's so beautiful.  It's called Angel by Rachmaninoff (please tell me I spelled that right.)  Search it up.  It's very hard to find a choir that performs it at its peak, though.  You have choirs that sing like cute little middle schoolers, choirs that sing it too fast, but we're doing it just right.  I hope our Russian doesn't sound too crappy, though.

I went to UIL last Friday for Journalism.  I didn't do anything, though.  I was an alternate.  So was my Dad.  Well, not my real dad, but he plays my dad in the play (Cosette is my sister), not to mention he's more of a male parental figure than my biological father is.  I hate to say it, but when my parents were together, it was very hard to find a home video where they were together and happy.  He went on business trips a lot, and then when my parents divorced, he got the house, and we had to move in with Grandma.  I bawled and held onto Mom that first weekend I had to stay with him, thinking I was never going to see her again.  Then he moved to the other side of the country when I was four.  He complains that I don't call, but then the only time when he talks to me is if Jared calls Mom first.  So, Jonathan is Daddy.  I see him every weekday, and our family in the play already has lots of chemistry.  So, he works.

I've been writing a lot.  And we have the STAAR test in a few days.  I an going to ace the writing section.  We have to write three papers, either two literary and one expository, or one literary and two expository.  I pray that I get two literary (it's different with each person), but I'll still be good if I get two expository.  We did one literary and one expository before we left for Easter weekend, and I got the highest grade on both.  My first expository got a 3/4, and my literary before that one got a 4.  I think I'm covered.

I am determined to have something after school every day.  Monday will be choir, Tuesday will be for extra instrument lessons, Wednesday will be band, Thursday will be marching, Friday will be for... well, that might be a free day.

We got a puppy!  Her name is Millie.  Well, she's not a puppy, but the way that she acts, her size (she's a Terrier Mix), and the fact that she chews up everything she can get her paws on, she's more of a puppy.

Now, all the instruments I have: French Horn (well, I play it, and it's at home with me, but I don't own my own yet), piano, recorders, pan-flute, train whistle, flute, guitar, ukulele, flute, trumpet, clarinet, and a few little child-like versions of percussion.

Well, I guess that will be all for now.

Bubbles says: We're all back!  Bye!

Josie is Sicky-Sick!

I am sicky-sick!  And, again, sorry I haven't posted in a while.

The good news is, I get a YouTube account!  It'll be here soon!  I'm probably gonna call it ShutUp_ImWritingHere!  For obvious reasons.  I'll have videos for Bubbles and all that sort of stuff!

Bubbles says: Guys, I'm on Facebook.  Like, A LOT.  I just keep on posting and posting, so I recommend that you go like my page.  I'm on that more than Blogspot.  The website is

https://www.facebook.com/MyConsciencePage

I post a lot of random stuff on there.  I show quizzes, funny videos, and updates on the Pianist War!  So, please, like the page, subscribe to me on YouTube, and yeah, all that stuff!

Josie and the Big Buffet

I'M IN ANOTHER PLAY!  Again!  As an understudy.  I have sunken so low since Marigolds.  At least I was a principle in Annie.  Not that I have a problem with being an understudy.  In fact, I'm glad I don't have to kiss this complete stranger (Cosette does), but it would have been nice to be one of the roles.  Still, there were only two of each gender.  Two of my friends got big roles.  Cosette plays a fully-grown, mature, adult lead (not some twelve-year-old quiet nerd), and Jonathan plays her dead father.  But now I have something to do!  Woohoo!

Blake took me to Cici's yesterday.  I felt like I ate like a king, while Blake had 12 slices and a plateful of noodles.  We were talking about Titanic earlier, and when I came to the table and saw his plate, I sang "UP SHE GOES!" very loudly.  He shook his finger at me while getting MORE food and said, "Down the hatchet, first."  Meanwhile, his 92-pound mother ended up with 15 slices, a bowl of salad, and cinnamon buns.  But I loved it.  I got to spend time with my Slenderman!

Bubbles says: He got alfredo sauce in her hair?  Oh, he is gonna pay!  Let me at 'im!  LET ME AT 'IM!  Grrr!!!!  One of these days....

Josie's Random 10 Facts

For the basics about me and any newcomers to this blog, here's 10 weird/random facts about me:

1. I have a conscience, and his name is Bubbles.  He is a tall, purple man who wears an orange shirt, green pants, and yellow shoes.  The style may change, but the colors sure don't.  He also has a brown Mario mustache and is completely bald.  I created him on October 30, 2012, while walking to school to tell my crush (now boyfriend) that I like him.  You can tell he's talking whenever the text is purple.
2. In all honesty, I have trichotillomania and am being very forward about it because I'm trying to get rid of it.  :)
3. I am a virgin and intend to keep it that way until after marriage.  Unless, of course, I get raped by Slenderman or something like that.
4. My school is haunted by this guy named Clarence.  He's the Phantom of the Skeeters, which got me all excited.
5. If you were to compare my life to a book, I would have two: Twilight (unfortunately) and The Phantom of the Opera (NOT unfortunately).
6. When it comes to piano, I will never be one of those wicked good concert pianists, which is disappointing because if I ever wanted to audition for something for piano, I wouldn't be able to.  When it comes to piano, I am a COMPOSER.
7. I live in Fairview, Texas.  Lie.
8. I have an amazing boyfriend named Blake.  Also names for him are Edward, Edward Scissorhands, Edward Rockhands, Slenderman, Bob, Sleeping Beauty, and Sleeping Hillbilly.
9. I looooove Keurig hot chocolate.  It is by far the best!
10. There is never a time where I won't be involved in SOME type of production!  Whether it's a play, musical, movie, concert, or anything like that.  Except during the summer.  That's an exception.

Bubbles says: Um, is it just me or does NO ONE CARE?

Josie at the Super Bowl

So, the Ravens won?

Yup.  Pretty much.

That's cool.  I like Edgar Allen Poe.

*facepalm*

I was at a Super Bowl party last night, at my church.  I got Blake to come, which I was very happy about.  We also met this one girl who went to Timberlawn named Lily.  She's freaking amazing!  I mean, she's really hyper, but the good kind of hyper.  I just wanted to stalk her.  Plus, I think she might trichotillomania, too.

The commercials weren't as good as last year, though.  Pooh.

Bubbles says: LILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Josie Can't Sleep

I can, but during the day.  In class.  Which makes my teachers mad.

She woke up in journalism with a puddle of drool on her arm.

SHUT UP!

 Anyway, I've been up all night stressing.  I just have.  Can't say how, but I've been trying to find Wendigo spottings or two bodies found at a nearby park.

Bubbles says: Any help?  Please?

Josie and the "Freedom"

The musical is now over, so now I have more time to blog and do what I want!

This is weird.  I keep on having the weirdest dreams.  But they're not really dreams.  I allow my mind to go blank and visions come to me.  But it's not like daydreaming; no, my "visions" are too vivid.  But Blake and I have been trying to figure out what's been going on....

Bubbles says: Everything is not what it seems.

Josie and Opening Night

I am so, so, SOOOOOOOO SORRY I haven't blogged in forevah!  I've been super busy with Annie!  And, here's the thing:

TONIGHT IS OPENING NIGHT!!!!!  OOH, SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

Anywho, I've been filming the backstage events for a while, and I'm going to make it into a big documentary kind of thing and put it on Facebook, YouTube, and on here, of course.

My costumes are weird.  I have several layers.  It gets sweltering hot.  First, I have white tights, then tan tights with holes in the bottom that I can roll up for Boylan Sisters, then bloomers (my dress is not a dress.  It's a shirt), then the dress, then the overcoat, then the cardigan, then the smock, and to top it off, jazz shoes and two pigtails.  But I love it!

Blake and I are going to go to Jack in the Box after school.  Hopefully.  I need to go eat, and I don't like to walk alone.  : ) 

This morning, we were walking to school, and we surprisingly had a lot of fun.  This time, nobody offered for a ride, so we just walked and talked and it was a lot of fun.  We talked about when Josie has kids that she'll have someone make a little "Bubbles" doll and make little picture book about my great adventures.

Sir Bubbles and the Great Walk

by Josien O. Behning and Bubbles T. Conscience

       Once upon a time, there was the fair Princess Josie, who lived in the country of Wildwood in the little town of Oak, on the island of Fairview.  Often she would travel to Skeeterland to visit people from other countries.  But more than anything she wanted to marry the valiant Prince Blake of Homesdale, whom she would sing with.  But she could only see him in Skeeterland, which was the longest of distances away, and she was forced to walk.
       Luckily, the brave, bold, and dashing Sir Bubbles, the strongest and most enduring knight in all of Oak, vowed to go with her and endure her pain.  They safely avoided the zombies in the royal graveyard, crossed the Creek Crossing, traded with the Walker, and safely followed traffic laws and didn't jaywalk, just in time to tell Prince Blake that she liked him, which Sir Bubbles assisted with.

Bubbles says: And, so, once again, Sir Bubbles saved the day!  The end.

Josie and the Super-Fantastical Annie Video

I talked to Mr. McCoy about making a little video about our time with Annie, but I figured I needed his permission first.  So I asked him, and he said I could start filming next week.  Yay!  It's gonna be so much fun!  I get to show people that I named my dead mouse Lucky!

Bubbles says: Derpette.

Josie and Terminator

I'm BACK!!!!!!!!!!!

Bubbles says: And she's moody.

Josie and the Great Locket Mission

I am desperately trying to get a picture of Blake printed out so that way I can have his picture with me in my locket at Ohio!  And this is one way:

1. Paste it on here from Facebook.
2. Search it up on Google when I get to Ohio.
3. Print it out there.

PROBLEM SOLVED!

Bubbles says: Bye for now, until January 6th!

Josie and a Good Break

Merry Christmas, one and all!

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while.  I'm sorry.  I made myself a totally cool journal that I've been writing in all the time.  Besides, I can say secrets in there that I can't say online.

But not that you guys are cooler than the journal.  No, you guys are actual people.  Unless some of you are robots who are stalking me.

I finally got the locket that Blake wanted to give me -- erm, DID give me.  It's beautiful.  It's the best present I've ever gotten.

I honestly sound like a ditzy girl in love, and I know everybody's gonna tell me, "He's not the one.  Get over him."  But I love him.  I really do.  And if we're still together by the time I graduate, I will marry him and spend literally an ETERNITY with him.  Because divorce is not an option.  Have a problem?  Work it out.  I don't want to end up like my parents.

I went to go see Les Miserables yesterday.  HOLY CRAP IT WAS FREAKING AMAZING!!!!  My only two problems were the cinematography and Amanda Seyfried.

1. The cinematography - Cinematography is how you hold the camera.  For example, the cinematography in Love Never Dies was beautiful and made you appreciate the movie even more, even though it was filmed on stage.  The cinematography in this, however, was boring.  Especially during the song I Dreamed a Dream.  It just kept a head shot of Anne Hathaway when it could have done something beautiful to go with the beautiful song
2. Amanda Seyfried as Cosette - I did not like her.  Cosette is supposed to have a beautiful STRONG, yet light operatic voice, and Amanda did not.  This movie had all their actors sing live and did not do voice overs, so she was singing live, but she was very weak on her high notes.  But, at the same time, I don't know any other blonde girl to play the part.

Today, we will go to Six Flags.  And Jared will ride all the big rides!  Wow!

Also, Uncle Kevin is on his way over to help him fix a hole in his wall.  Until then, I will watch H. R. Pufnstuf with Jared.  Good times, my friend.  Good times....

Bubbles says: Can't do a little cause he can't do enough!

Josie and Grandpa Sunshine

This morning, Grandpa passed away.  We used to call him Sunshine since he was always Grumpy.  I miss him already.  I don't know when the funeral is.  This is the first person I've ever had pass away.  And I haven't processed it completely yet.

Bubbles says: This is from December 22, 2012.

Josie and Her Perfect Christmas

It's snowing!  In Texas!  Can you believe it?

Merry Christmas, everybody!

Bubbles says: I'm dreaming of a white Christmas!

Josie's Death

I'M NOT DEAD!!!!  Yet.

I keep on hacking up my lungs.  I don't stop coughing until I don't hear any mucus, which takes me a while, so it sounds like I'm dying and I keep on coughing for 2 minutes.  Torture.

I forgot to bring my camera to school.  That sucks.  So, no December 21st film.

Blake had to quit the musical.  That sucks as well.  He's been having stomach problems, so he had to quit because it's been getting in the way of a lot.  He's also quitting ROTC.  But Eli took the parts of Man 2 and Bert Healy.  I have to admit, Eli has a little more of a relaxed voice.  But we need that up-and-lively voice that Blake has for Healy.  Oh, well.

We were talking over the phone about half an hour ago, and he said to hold on for a while, and I was on the phone by myself for about ten minutes before it finally hung up.  Okaaay, whatever.

You know what?  I'm DEFINITELY gonna start a video blog.  I'm gonna convince my mom.

I've been reading Twilight, which has made everybody upset.  Not a lot of my friends like Twilight, but it's been helping me, believe it or not.

Bubbles says: ....

Josie and the Happy Ending

Things look swell!  Things look great!  Gonna have the whole world on a plate!

Blake walked into choir Tuesday, walked up to me, and hugged me.  Then he looked at me and said this:

Blake: I've got some good news.
Bubbles: Carrie will never bother us again as long as we both shall live?
Me: Is it about Carrie?
Blake: We can be together.
Bubbles: (singing) YOUR RAINBOW WILL COME SHINING THROUGH!
Me: (smiling excessively) We can?
Blake: Yes, dear. (kisses me)
Bubbles: Oh, my friggin' gosh this is abso-friggin-lutely a-MAH-zing!!!!!!!!!!

Also, Carrie might be getting arrested for making up the threats about Sable.  Blake said he felt sorry for Sable, since that was really embarrassing to be accused in the office.  But since nobody said those threats and they were made up by Carrie, that also means that the threats were indeed FROM Carrie and could land her butt in jail.

Today's the last day of school for this semester.  And the world has not ended, either.  So, please, let us enjoy our Christmas while all you people try to buy Christmas presents since we're going to have one this year.

I'm filming my entire day, and then I'll post the results on YouTube, then on Facebook, then on here.

Bubbles says: We will not all die today.  I promise.

Josie and Scary Carrie

NO MORE CARRIE!!!!  WOOHOO!!!!!

Did I say that everything about Sable was a lie created by Carrie?

Well, here it is:

EVERYTHING ABOUT SABLE WAS A LIE CREATED BY CARRIE TO BREAK BLAKE AND JOSIE UP SO THAT SHE COULD HAVE HIM!!!

And now we're back together.  WEEHEE!!!!!

Now that the drama's over with, let's get to the action and adventure!

Bubbles says: Eeeh!  Sheldon Cooper!  Nope, nope, nope, nope!  Big Bang Theory Style!

Josie and the Useless Dedication

BLAKE BROKE UP WITH ME.

IT'S ONLY TEMPORARILY, FOR THREE MONTHS, UNTIL HE CAN "GET RID OF" SABLE, THE WORST EX-GIRLFRIEND IN THE WORLD.

DID I EVER SAY HOW OUR LIVES ARE LIKE TWILIGHT?

WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO SAY HOW, BUT DIDN'T THIS HAPPEN, WHERE EDWARD SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO SPLIT FOR A WHILE?

I hope so, or otherwise we're probably not getting back together.

HE KISSED ME GOODBYE.

BUT I DIDN'T LIVE THE MOMENT, AND I WISH I DID.

SABLE WAS THREATENING ME BEHIND MY BACK, AND TRYING TO DESTROY OUR RELATIONSHIP, BUT I COULDN'T REPORT HER BECAUSE IT WAS ALL HEAR-SAY.

NOW I WISH SHE WAS DEAD.

Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, DEAD!

SABLE, I HATE YOU.

CARRIE, I ADMIRE YOU.

THE RANDOM GIRL FROM CHOIR WHO CAME AND HELPED ME WHEN I CRIED, I THANK YOU.

STEPHANIE MEYER, I PRAY FOR YOU.

Blake, I still love you.

But sometimes everybody makes me wish that I was dead.

BITE ME!!!!!!!!

Bubbles says: You better enjoy that blood you're drinking, Blake, because it took some real tears to get you to where you are now.  Josie may LOVE you, but I will always LOATHE you.

Josie and the Great and Mysterious Illness

I have no idea what is wrong with my body.  I am perfectly fine.

NOT!

Post from Facebook: Ever since yesterday, I have had stomach aches, digestive problems, I'm eating unusually small portions, I've been accident prone all day, I've had several adrenaline rushes, my heartbeat just keeps on getting faster and faster, I've had at least one panic attack, I'm extremely cold all the time, I've broken down and bawled on my desk once or twice, and I've had at least 20 mood swings in the past 48 hours. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME???

I have no idea.  Honestly.  Does anybody have any ideas?  I mean, nobody was like this at school.  Is it just me?  Blake told me something that made me a nervous wreck, so is that it?

I don't know.  Any ideas?

Bubbles says: Stay away from me, sicko!
Josie says: You're my conscience!  You can't just walk up and leave!
Bubbles says: Oh, yeah?  Watch me! (gets up and leaves)
Josie says: :(
