AHHHH THE BOOK SIGNING WAS TODAY!!! *breathes*

There were way more people than we thought, so getting there an hour early didn't get us a seat. I couldn't see her at all during the Q&A :( Other than that, it was perfect! Of course, everyone went crazy when she came out. It was so much fun squeeing over everything she said, I'm not even joking ;D And surprisingly, she answered some questions that made me think more. Like this girl said something about how Jacob was basically being an ass in Eclipse and she defended him by saying that he is only 16 and Edward's definitely had a much longer time to acquire patience and maturity. She said since this is his first love and he sees Bella's changing as basically dying, he doesn't see any lines that he can't cross (if that makes sense). Especially after she kissed him back. She also talked about how people were having a hard time accepting the loving-two-people-at-the-same-time-dealio, saying that most people who were younger and haven't been in love found it hard to believe while older people that have been in similar situations understand. So I'll just shut up about that and accept that I know nothing about being in love yet :P What else...? Oh! I was right! Jacob didn't imprint on Bella because he would have in New Moon and it would be waaay obvious. The only other important thing I can think of right now is that she said she's definitely writing a 5th and 6th book (not including Midnight Sun) that will be from other characters' perspectives. But first, she's focusing on finishing Midnight Sun. Holy Moses, did everyone go crazy over that! Lol. I can't believe it, I'm so freaking excited!!! (Sorry if this is all old news, I don't go to the Lexicon much.)

Until our group was called to line up, we had to browse for a while...I actually saw like, ten guys there! And some pretty cool shirts. Speaking of which, I didn't have time to get a t-shirt together :P I should have just used those tattoos from New Moon! Anyway, when my friend and I got up to her desk I just about died...I was pathetically star-struck. She signed our names and everything! But yeah, I said a probably way-too-enthusiastic thank you, and managed to walk a short distance before breaking into a squeeing/giggling fit *facepalm* But she was just as nice and down to earth as I thought she was...

So, yeah! So worth it! I also bought a feng shui book there since I'm planning on appyling it to my room at my dad's. He said my sister and I can get started with decorating soon!

Ahh...meme. Just what I needed. Snagged from horselovergurl!

I certainly feel better :) I did a lot of thinking last night after reading saymorre's lovely comment and finally realized the obvious. I need to stop focusing so much on finding that perfect guy because all I need to be happy is myself and my thoughts. I realized that I only looked forward to even days because those were the days I had a class with him. How ridiculous, when every day needs to be seen as a beautiful gift! I know it sounds so cheesy, but oh well XD

I had to laugh at myself today because I actually reconsidered trying out for volleyball for next year all due to my fear for being the bad person on the team that everyone talks about. Have I learned nothing from all this? Why can't I just say, screw them, I will be an allower. I will let them do what they want and do the same. Besides, I can manifest the ability to get better and learn, let alone make the team. Although, I don't know what I'll do if I decide to change schools after this year...which is kinda scary, because try-outs are pretty soon. God, why do they have to be now when it doesn't start until next fall?!

And yay for a completely new set of icons!

Today was my first day using the process called Segment Intending and let me tell you...*whistles* I'm amazed. Segment Intending is an exercise taken from The Law of Attraction and here's a definition: 

The process of Segment Intending is to simply recognize that you are moving into a segment where what you are intending is different from the last, and then to stop and identify what you are now wanting. 

So it's basically when you recognize the different parts of your day (getting ready for the day, eating a meal, driving somewhere, etc.), stop, and give clear thought to what exactly you want to happen in that segment. For example, while I was walking to my French class today, I thought: I intend to fully comprehend everything on my French test today. I will answer correctly and confidently. Mr. Boesch will ask me easy questions that I will be able to understand during the speaking part and I will reply correctly and confidently. I will get a good grade on this test. And you know what happened? I did exactly that. I really feel like I did well on that test and all the questions he asked during the oral part were simple. This process really gives you clarity while you're trying to focus on and prioritize what you want. Before, I would just try and make sure I was thinking about what I want. Now, my mind isn't so cluttered and I can give myself segments in which I can envision my future and meditate. Also, a good suggestion Abraham gives is to think for each segment: As I'm entering this segment of life experience, it is my intent to see that which I want to see.

I had to laugh today, though, when I was walking home from the bus stop. It's a gorgeous day and it was so sunny and the breeze was blowing gently through the grass and trees and I felt so alive and happy...I actually started tearing up. I swear, all this "being one with the Universe/God/Spirit and your Inner Being" is making me super sensitive and sappy ;D

What we mean by the Art of Allowing is: I am that which I am, and I am pleased with it, joyful in it. And you are that which you are, and while it is different perhaps from that which I am, it is also good. ...Because I am able to focus upon that which I want, even if there are those differences between us that are dramatic, I do not suffer negative emotion because I am wise enough not to focus upon that which brings me discomfort. I have come to understand, as I am one who is applying the Art of Allowing, that I have not come forth into this physical world to get everyone to follow the "truth" that I think is the truth. I have not come forth to encourage conformity or sameness - for I am wise enough to understand that in sameness, in conformity, there is not the diversity that stimulates creativity. In focusing upon bringing about conformity, I am pointed toward an ending rather than to a continuing of creation. - The Law of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks

That really struck a cord with me today. Wouldn't the world be a better place if everyone could live by this?

I love deliberately creating my experiences! Already, I'm seeing the response of the LoA now that I've been focusing more on it lately. During my Creative Workshop this morning, I wrote and thought about having a more toned and thinner body. And at lunch today, I had a much smaller apetite than usual. When I got home from school and tried to eat a snack, I felt overly full after just a little bit! I even have a strong urge to go take a walk...I probably will, it's so beautiful right after it rains! 

Also, the thoughts about what I want keep coming back to mind and the emotion caused by them just keeps getting stronger, exactly what the book said would happen! It's really exciting because of course, the LoA only responds to thoughts that cause strong emotion.

Anyways, I am so excited about all the new friends I have now! Hi, guys! Here's my AIM sn if you'd like it: phantomphan927. Same as my username. 

I was wondering if anyone watched the premiere of The Tudors on Sunday? It's the new show on HBO about Henry III and it was so awesome! I love period movies and shows...the costumes are always fun to look at. However, it's pretty sexually explicit, so I'm not feelin so comfortable with acknowledging to my mom that I'm watching it, even though she said it was okay. Lol. It's like when I was sneaking the Sex and the City DVDs into my room; I didn't think she'd let me watch it. But she took the last season out of my room (I was done already, though) and never said a word, so I'm not sure how she felt about it. *shrugs* whatever.
