Change.

Heyhey boys and girls! What's up?
Haha Swiftkaratechop intro. Sneaky sneaky Ella.
So yes, I changed the title. I felt like change... And the title of this blog no longer applies to me. Mostly. My life has changed quite a bit since I created this in what... May? April? Who knows. Little 7th grader turned 8th grader, more mature (sort of, hehe), and the URL "catching up with him" isn't for me anymore. I've caught up.
But life still isn't perfect. It never will be for a while, I think. Not until I smooth out some wrinkles, and clear up some smudges. And decide what I really want, and what's better for me.
Wow. That? was deep. I've also thought about getting a Twitter, just to follow my favorite YouTubers and reply to them and stuff. That's really it though. I need more reasons than that.
Ah, listening to The Maine live right now.
I should go. Adieu.

Loves, Ella

Um... I'm sorry?

Sorry I haven't posted in like a month! I kept thinking, "I should post something today." But I never did.
Apology over, I don't like to grovel.

Black Ops

Ok. Black Ops for X-Box 360. It came out recently. You shoot, blow up, and generally kill people with large guns, assorted grenades, and rocket launchers. And, for a bonus feature, the place the trailer "There's a Soldier in All of Us" is set in looks like Afghanistan. Um, what the shat? Seriously? This is retarded. I don't have a problem with video games, in fact I love Zelda, but this is stupid. I'm not gonna go full steam on the "teaching kids that violence is fun" speech, but jesus. I maybe biased 'cause I don't like war games, but this seems a little over the top.
Thanks for "listening" to that rant. If you read it all, I love you and you're a trooper.

Love, Ella

Christofer Drew and the Shout?

Um... Weird news. Never Shout Never is now "Christofer Drew and the Shout", or C Drew and the Shout.
I guess it's ok. But I liked Never Shout Never better. It used to be C Drew and the Shout just for the tours, but now it's always that.
Here's what he said in an interview about how he's going more rock-y on the next album:

You’ve said you’re going to go in a rock direction with your next record. Why? I’m kind of sick of this band and the negative connotations with the band. I want to start over and start something new. I think people have the wrong idea about us. I want to bust out the Stratocaster and play some feel-good @#!*% . I’m just a kid playing music. There’s a bunch of kids playing music, and if (my fans) are really into this acoustic stuff, they can find 100 other kids doing it.

Yup. Whatever, if he wants to, he wants to. He also has grown a mustache. A small one. That was weird for me, but he likes mustaches. I do too, but fake ones. Oh well.

Love, Ella:3

It's November.

Happy November! A little later, but whatever.
So, what's up? Here's what's happening with moi:
1) My AY project is due on the 8th. I hope I finish it...
2) I met a very hot individual guy on Omegle when I slept over at Daisy's house with Serika. He was kind of a ginger, but not really, and looked like a 8th grader from last year. Except hot. He was lying down with no shirt on (wink wink) and we didn't have mikes on (it was nighttime wherever he was) and so we just kind of smiled at each other a few times and talked about music. One time he said "my dad is coming in oh no!" and he closed the laptop so I got a nice view of his chest before it closed... For like 3 minutes it was just black then he came back, and I was like "lol that was close" and he was like "yeah", but like a minute later he left suddenly. I guess his dad came in or something. But he was very hot. And I met a nice guy who was 18 named Kyle. He was very nice.
3) I don't know... I like cookies? :D
4) Jerry hasn't answered my questions on Formspring in a while... I'm kinda sad.
5) I want a nickasaur! shirt. Like super badly. They're really cute... I'll have a picture on the side of the text.

Yupps! Listening to nickasaur!, working on my Ay... Life is pretty good, despite the science.

Love,

Little Short Story

Ok, so I'm a devout vegetarian. And today, I didn't notice that there was chicken in my pad thai until I chewed it up. Of course I spat it out right away, but I felt super depressed and sick. I go downstairs, lock myself in my room, sit a few minutes and sort of sulk, then go on YouTube onto Comifcire7's channel. Instant happiness... I feel so much better. Thank you Jordan :)

Just sayin', people.

Officially the Best Night EVAR.

Oh my god, that was seriously the best night of my life. We missed Carter Husley, and half of I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business. I wanted to see Carter Husley, and I was texting Serika and she said he was great! So that made me sad. I didn't really care about I Can Make a Mess (etc), and when we got there, we watched about two songs, then went and waited in the merch line. We could hear them just fine, lol.
The Warfield is surprisingly small! I liked it though. There was a balcony with seats and a few tables, I think, then there was the General Admission pit where people stood, and then tables and a bar. Anna's dad sat at the table, while Sydney and Anna and I stood outside the pit during The Maine (WHO ROCKED!!) but we went into the pit during Never Shout Never.
The Maine was really really REALLY good. The lead singer wore skinny jeans, cowboy boots, and a bathrobe! It was hilarious! And he talked to the crowd, and threw back the bras girls threw on stage (lol!), and was really nice to the fans in front. He asked them if they were ok, and this one girl who must have looked faint or something, he bent down and asked her if she was ok. She must have been like "Yeah, now that you just talked to me!" It was really sweet! So they rocked live. I have to get more iTunes money to buy their songs coz I have none! The songs I recognized and sang along to were "The Right Girl" and "Girls Do What They Want". They played a lot more, but I didn't know the lyrics.
And then came along Christofer Drew.
Oh my god. Chris was so good live! Best thing was, he was really happy! Like, smiling and dancing around the stage and even hopping! Which I didn't think he would do, because on the Warped Tour 2010 he was hopping during a song, and he hurt his ankle.
Everyone, like, screamed the lyrics to the songs, but he had the mike of course so we all heard him. First he played "Harmony", then "Love is Our Weapon". And I think it was the last chorus (where he goes "HEY!") when confetti and banners fell on the pit! It was great! Then, I think he played "I Just Laugh", then a reggae version of "Trouble", then "I Love You More Than You Will Ever Know", then "Piggy Bank", I think next was "I Love You 5", (I'm sure I'm missing some songs -- he played about thirteen) then Bigcitydreams, and during the last verse (this middle west town is gonna miss you), he hopped up on the speaker at the left corner of the stage, threw away the mike, and pointed at us, and we all screamed/sang the last lyrics. That song was supposed to be last, but then everyone was screaming "One more song!", so he came out and played The Past. And that was it!
I can't explain how awesome it was. I really can't. Maybe, if I get Serika to send me the videos she tape don her Flip, I'll post them. I was taping The Maine on my phone, but right before Chris came on it died! I know, right? Fml.
So I bought a Love is Our Weapon tee-shirt, and since all I had was $20 that's all I could buy. But Sydney bought me a What Is Love wristband that I am NEVER EVER gonna stop wearing. And, when the confetti fell? It turned out that some guitar picks fell down too! I found one on the floor. It says "C Drew and the Shout" on one side, and a peace sign on the other. Anna got hit with one (hehe) that says "Harmony" (the album name) on one side, and a drawing of the earth with a #1 on it.

It was just great. Wow. I love you Chris. I love you The Maine. But I especially love Chris.

Obai peeps!
