vague mystique.: I am going to blog EVERYDAY in April!

I am going to blog EVERYDAY in April!

About ten minutes ago, while I was talking to my lovely friends on MSN Messenger and basking in my Rosalie glow, I was reading Maureen Johnson’s blog, which is hands down one of the best blogs out there in cyberspace. It’s written by an amazingly talented and absolutely hilarious Young Adult author. Like myself, she does not blog often, but when she does, it’s absolutely golden and well worth the ten to fifteen minutes it takes to read it (They are also LENGTHY blogs). All in all, I love her, and today she has posted something VERY EXCITING.

Next month, Maureen said, is going to be dubbed Blog Every Day April (BEDA for short) and is going to be a fabulous month where she blogs EVERY SINGLE DAY, even if it kills her. That is THIRTY BLOGS in ONE MONTH, people. Not one, not two, not five, THIRTY. Squee!

That is not all of it, either; she also announced that she wants us, her readers, to participate in BEDA, too! It will be a spectacular worldwide event, and I am happy to say that I have decided to be a part of it. Really, how could I not? I would not be able to call myself a devoted Maureenian if I passed this up, and just THINK about all the writing practice I can get from this! It will be magnificent. I’ll get so much experience from having to blog everyday, about anything and everything… and if I hit a writers block in the road ahead, I will just have to GET THROUGH IT and get CREATIVE. Start talking about bubble bath or something.

Or fire eating dragon mites.

THE MANiFESTO

I commit to this idea and am determined to create something EVERY DAY in April, including weekends. Every day, I will find something to say. I embrace the reality that there is always something to talk about, if you are willing to take the time to look for it.

I, Rosalie Bass, promise to blog every day in April.

There, it is official. I am now a BEDA member! I really think you guys should join it, too; we could be have this huge supportive BEDA community on blogger!

xoxo.

EURA. said...: That is such a good idea!

I am tempted to join along but once I start to get committed to something, I always fall off. :\

I am also devoting this morning to try and figure out why my blog is whacked up.; March 30, 2009 at 10:57 AM

My name is Rosalie Bass, and I am one of those rare sixteen year old juniors in the upper United States that sees the world for what it is- a giant pit full of lies, scandals, gossip, and plotting. This applies to everyone regardless of social class; lower, middle, or upper, we are all trying to claw our way to the mountain top of success whether we like it or not, no matter the cost. For some, success means a home to sleep in, food to eat, temperature control in the winter; others, it means ten new pairs of Jimmy Chu shoes and a Chanel product or five to boot. All different definitions, all resulting in the same bloodthirsty battle to the finish.

So what am I in all of this? The observer, of course. Obnoxious on occasion and conceited on most, I promise to give you, my beloved reader, the brutally honest story of what life is really like when you look at it through an icy perspective. This may involve juicy gossip, my take on current events, or even real life stories about yours truly. Whatever it may turn out to be, I give you my word that it will be a wild ride.

'Tis the season! As the first marking period of the school year comes to a close, the drama of junior year reaches its highest point yet. Could it be the stress of academics that is causing all the juicy stories, or maybe, just maybe, are people starting to embrace their inner bitch?

Let's find out.

By far the sluttiest person that we know, our darling L has recently started going out with a new guy who happens to be my ex boyfriend. They have only been going for about two weeks, and already my social circle is abuzz with the glorious highlights of her sex life. I won't go too into the repulsive details, but let me say one thing: nine and a half fingers.

The infamous, religious little vegetarian known as O is surprisingly not so innocent anymore. Having dumped her charity case boyfriend several months ago, she is now with an ROTC future marine, and they are doing anything BUT worshipping when alone together. I have to say, I'm quite surprised - I figured someone as conservative as her would hold out a little longer. Perhaps when it comes to teenage lust, God isn't so vital to our lives anymore?

B, the manwhore of my high school, was nominated into the Homecoming Court a few weeks ago, but sadly did not win the crown. I don't think he's too upset, though - rumor has it that he's hooked up with NUMEROUS girls since then. That guy is never satisfied.

And then there's the girl who always seems to be one of the prominant figures in the drama - our very own R. The lovable girl with the split personalities, something seems to have been up with her lately - or down with her, if you know what I mean. Her love life has been in shambles, filled with constant rejection on both sides and the occasional poor decision. Combined with the fights she's been starting lately, I'd say that we have quite the problem child on our hands.

Alas, though, it is only my opinion.
