Is It Really Worth Saying?

2011-12-31T21:16:00.000-08:00

So lately I've been thinking....Can I actually do this......? Can I make up stories for a Living? Can I, Delaney Barrett, stupid idiot, and therapist to all, home-schooler, awkward freak and just down right odd girl, can i really be an author that brings a smile, whether malicious or otherwise, to a person's face and make them open themselves up to reading? You think about the average teenager, all they care about anymore is sex, gossip, and technology that they take for granted. Could that person really just, on a whim, pick up a Delaney Barrett(or whatever last name I have when I get published, if I get published) book, and have it open their mind to people like Jane Austin, Bram Stoker, Charlotte and Emily Bronte, and everyone else that our, or our parent's, generation thought where classic literature. now I know that sounds like I'm comparing myself to, in my opinion, the greatest authors in the world, but I'm not. I know that no matter how good of a writer I'll ever be, if I ever am, I'll never be like them, or the plethora of other authors that I admire. but, to stop my rabbit trail, I guess all I can do is tell myself that you never know what the next generation will bring, I mean look at Hipsters, do you think their parents knew that they were breeding the most insipid generation when they decided to make whoopee? obviously not, because I think if they could look into the future and see their teenagers now, they would have probably played cribbage that night. so maybe, in life, we just need to take risks, no matter how much of the contents of your stomach is trying to rewind time by coming back up. so do we jump, not knowing what's at the bottom of the cliff, whether it's water or rocks? or do we turn back, and take a different path, until we run into another cliff with the same question posing itself to us? I guess I'm being dramatic, but am I really? I'm thinking about my future way more than any other teenager is, or at least the ones that I know. it's just been something I've been thinking about a lot lately. when no one seems to be interested in what you have to say, is it really that important? Do they really need to hear it?

Thoughts?

So I decided to make this post cause I'm a little stuck. If you used to read my blog you'll remember when I did the posts Dayla and the Dead Guy, and Meet Dayla, well I'm a little stuck, and I need some advice. The point I am at is that Dayla has already met the Martens, and Jones'(other Vampires that you haven't met yet) about a day ago her time, and she's cool with it all. She's still settling in, and isn't used to the whole public school thing and the fact that nine of her classmates are Vampires(a fact she knows immediately). she's already made an enemy, a pervert named Kreg who won't leave her alone. and her family(three older sister, the two eldest sisters' husbands, her aunt uncle and two slutty cousins, her mother's parents and her father's parents.) are all in town thanks to her mother mixing up the dates on which they would be arriving there. (As I have mentioned before I still haven't chosen a location[another thing I need advice on]). the basic premise is that a vampire, by the name of Marilyn Burkheart, comes out and Dayla(being a therapist to everyone she meets), has to deal with her family freaking out, her friends wanting to leave town, and some old, and new acquaintances' of hers, showing up in town, some seeking advice from our heroin. so I guess my questions are, when do I introduce Marilyn Burkheart? how close should Dayla get with the martens before her whole world turns upside down, and they leave? should they leave, or is that too cliche? and how should she deal with the Marilyn Burkheart issue?

leave your comments below. thanks'!

Wild Target

2011-03-22T22:55:00.000-07:00

So I recently saw this movie Wild Target with Emily Blunt, Bill Nighy, Rupert Everett, Eileen Atkins, Martin Freeman and Rupert Grint, and if you watch a lot of British movies and TV like my family you'll see a face or two that you recognize. Well in the movie Bill Nighy plays the number one assassin, and Emily Blunt is his next job, also an assassin, but with a flair that intrigues him, then he saves her, and they meet Rupert Grint, who's a hobo, living in a parking lot, and ends up shooting someone who almost kills Bill Nighy, who is amazed because Rupert Grint has never touched a gun before, so he takes him under his wing, telling him that he's a "private investigator". it's an amazing movie, and Emily Blunt's wardrobe in the movie is amazing. so this is my take on one of her outfits.

Dress: Target

Hat: Target(by way of my sister Ashley)

Coat: Target

Stockings: Vintage

Shoes: Urban Outfitters

Garter Belt:Vintage

Oh the 1800's!

2010-09-03T11:43:00.000-07:00

So, I have meant to post something these past few weeks, but I haven't done much of late. I've been getting ready for the Norco fair, making jelly, jam, an apron, and a cake(sorry I don't have pictures, I had an accident involving the screen of my camera getting broken). Not much has happened that is worth mentioning, I went camping with the family, which, even though it was my idea, ended up sucking due to my idiocy of being a pain in the butt just because I didn't want to go to a lighthouse. you see we all were asked what we wanted to do, some said go to the beach(cool story: the beach had an area that was covered in dead jellyfish, and I picked one up!), and my mother suggested to go to a lighthouse, now I don't really like lighthouses, I may sound like a wimp when I say this, but it's not the height it's the circular movement whilst moving up, and I get dizzy, the last time I went to a light house I made it up half way and ended up running down because I thought I would hurl, pass out, or both(very attractive hu?). I was in a particularly foul mood on a count of having a rock at the small of my back the night before, and a snarky sister, so I acted poorly and ended up getting yelled at, because I didn't want to go to all the historic sights, whatever. I need to just remember that when you have a home school mum everything is turned into a learning experience, like it or not. other than that I had a nice time camping, on our way there and back we stopped at this shop called Pink Trash & Treasures, it's in Buellton, California, I found the most amazing coat in the world(well my mum or dad actually found it I can't remember which though) it hasn't got a tag so for now I've no idea who it's by, or even if it's a knock-off, and was actually made in 1983(if you do know the designer and era please e-mail me or post a comment below, my e-mail address is in my about me at the top of the page, spam or inappropriate behaviour will not be appreciated. I will hunt you down and kill you. Jesus is watching you.), I love this coat, I am obsessed with late 1700's to early 1900's fashions, even though the fashions are so different through those eras as they progressed, I believe I should have lives in that time span, no matter how socialist, or sexist it was, I love the fashion, and the proper-ness of it all. At the moment I'm reading The Gemma Doyle Trilogy by the author Libba Bray, and it's set in the 1890's, it's a fantastic series about a girl(who's name is Gemma! coolest name ever in my opinion), and she starts having visions of the future, I love this series!!! it's so enthralling, and you just can't put it down. I'm on the third, and final, book, The Sweet Far Thing, it's so good, I love how the author can pull you in in this series, something I have trouble with when I'm writing. it's one of those series' that when you hear that a friend is reading it you want to ask a thousand questions like, "what chapter are you on? have they done this yet? do you know who this is yet? have they been to this place were they find out that that person did this?" and then your friend throws shoes at you. or at least that's what is going to happen when I tell my friend Chandler about these books, and make her read them. if you ever see them in your local book store, I recommend them, highly, especially if you like fantasy books that are still intelligent.

Coat: I don't know, but if you do contact me.

Shoes: American Eagle

Skirt: Vintage Even-Picone(wool and polyester)

Top: Mossimo

Sweater: Brownies uniform sweater I found it at Goodwill, it has three previous owners' names on the tag, but two are scribbled out, I think one says Amy something, but I can't tell, I do know that one is Morgan S.

Dayla And The Dead Guy

2010-06-16T00:38:00.000-07:00

So.....This post has been in my head since I posted Meet Dayla. so here it goes. I have been writing a....Book....?...a story since fall of 2008. it's been a working progress, and I'm only on the second chapter, so it's A) nowhere near being a best seller, and B) nowhere near being finished anywhere in the near future(from about this second to the year 2018[and yes I know I will be 23 at the time]). So here it is, but first, it's a rough draft and will most likely be changed at some point in time. And this is some time in the end half of the book. So to catch you up, Dayla moved(location still if-y, Oregon? Washington?), and then her parent's decide to public school her, instead of going on with the already sixteen years, she's had of being home schooled, so she just goes with it. That's one of the few things Dayla is good at, going with things, along with being a freak(and enjoying every minute of it), always being able to quote Loralie Gilmore to the last punctuation mark, but still not remember what her mum said to her five seconds ago, and memorizing Vampire books and movies. that's the thing she loved the most, a good Vampire novel. Then Dayla starts school, and meets James, he has a huge family(something they have in common), and a deep secret that Dayla can see the second she sees him, and as she puts it: 'yup I found them, right in some flyover town in*again location still if-y*, odd that Vampires aren't known well, I know I could spot one like that.' I mentally snapped my fingers, 'and just did. Oh irony.', and so begins the friendship of Dayla Stanley and James Marten. there is still stuff I haven't changed, things that massively need changing, but I am too lazy to change, but this needs to be a short post so here goes. this is a later part, but is pretty self explanatory, but still I'll catch you up. the plot is that after Dayla moves, Marilyn Burkheart, a woman from an unknown town in a flyover state, decides to come out as a Vampire, thus making James' family want to move, or at least lie low, but being a genius Dayla convinces them that it'd be best if they moved, got out of the country and made sure they were safe, so, as most people do, they took her advice, and then Dayla realized her mistakes, and her nasty habit of coming up with a solution to problems, and saying it before she actually thinks about what she is actually thinking. So Dayla tries to get over it, dose "normal teenager stuff", and tries to ignore any other news on "Vampire Expozation" as she says. She ends up going to a concert at which she encounters some of James' siblings, and ends up telling her brother Eamon everything. Which he already knows. Eamon is kinda protective of Dayla, because he thinks she's too spontaneous to know what the crap she's getting herself into, and he's no dummy, even though he seems like he's perpetually high, so him knowing long before Dayla tells him, doesn't surprise her. instead he tries to get her over it and eventually gets her to agree to a open mic. night. before that happens, though, she meets another vampire, and realizes that he is an old friend, William Peters, or will to her( but he doesn't like anyone else calling him that) and they start hanging out, Dayla tried to help him with the fact that his mother is kinda anal, and stuck up, and then he eventually takes her advise, and goes to talk to his mother. that is were we are here. And so you are caught up. this is that open mic night scene. it's a little cheesy, but I'm hoping that with your feedback it won't suck for much longer.

The Blackbird was quiet. there was just a couple of people there. The coordinator, who I think was called Cooper, walked on stage and said, “Thank you, ‘ Pintoe Beens’,” ‘you guys are so talented, and you couldn't think of a better name?’ I thought looking at the four brunette guys, walking off the stage. “Okay,” Cooper went on, “next, give a warm welcome to some newcomers, they are Dayla, Eamon, and Finn, but I myself am more acquainted with them as, Too Many Suckers Not Enough Lovers!” This guy really want’s to be hosting a game show. I walked up the stairs, and over to the Mic and piano, and sat down. "Hi." I said, "Um. I'm Dayla, and this is Eamon, and Finn. Well, we're gonna play something I wrought very recently, It’s called ‘Pieces’, and" I took a deep breath, "here it goes." Eamon started to play and then came my Que. the melody took me away, and I was in a happy state for once. "Why did you have to go...." I sang. The music swept me away, and before long it was all I herd, I wasn't really concentrating on the keys I hit on the piano, but somehow it came out the way I wanted it to.

'I bet I look like an idiot' I thought, I opened my eyes to make sure I didn't, and there he was. 'I saw him!' I thought 'Charlotte's with him too. Why are they here? Why the night we we're here? Do they know we're here?' My mind boggled until the end of the song. I played my last key, and Eamon his last cord. we ended in a beautiful cord on both guitar and piano, and there was an applause that reminded me of when Alice did this in high school, I stopped comparing myself to my always cool sister, the one I have to say I was closest to, and brought myself back to the present. the present were James was sitting in the back of this cafe with Charlotte his "sister". "Thanks’." the three of us said, and walked off the stage, and I was so glad it was over. He started to go outside with Charlotte, so I packed up with the boys, and went outside too. I didn't see him when I got out there, though. 'Maybe he went home, or hunting? I hope he's been keeping up his hunting trips instead of–No! I am not concerning myself with this,' I thought, 'He's a big boy, he can take care of himself. He's been doing it for eighty-three years, what's another billion?', “Dayla!” Eamon said, I shook my head and turned to help him, "sorry. lack of coffee." I shrugged and unlocked my car, and then I saw him again. 'He's coming over here.' I though, warning myself, the night of the concert went through my head over and over as I remained immobile 'Move you idiot! Do you want an awkward pass-by, or are you gonna move your butt out of the way, idiot?! Move!' I thought-yelled, but I couldn't. I was unable to move. He walked right up to me.'Move, moron move!' I yelled at myself, but it was no use. I wasn't moving. Not only because I couldn't, but because deep down I didn't want to move. What I really wanted was for him to tell me I'm staying, and that he is too. That he's 'Not taking 'No' for an answer!' and all that cliche stuff, because I love him ,and he loves me, and we both know it. my gosh! when did I get so dramatic? That's it no more CW for you Dayla. "Hello Dayla." James said, and again I almost melted at the sound of his voice. "Hi, James." I said casually, even though it was the complete opposite of what I felt. I had no idea why my voice was not hoarse like it should have been, because my mouth was so dry, but was thankful that it wasn't. All I could think was how much I needed Will right now, and how I wished I could disappear. “Hey.” Eamon said through his teeth, as he turned to James, and crossed his arms over his chest."We need to talk." James said to me. "Okay." I said turning, finally remembering to mask my emotions. “Dayla, have you seen what time it is?” Eamon asked, grabbing my arm and turning my face to his. I could tell he was worried, and knew exactly what his expression meant, ‘Dayla you idiot, I’m not letting you get hurt again, get in the freaking car, stupid.’ and he has all the right to have that face, but I can’t jump an opportunity to get an explanation, I can’t let it slip by when so much can be explained, like why the hell he did what I said and left, I thought, no one dose what I say! it's stupid! “I’ll be right back.” I said to Eamon in a calm, double-sentenced sentence, the second sentence being ‘I’ll be fine, but on the off chance that I won’t be, call Will and tell him his mother can wait. I need him.’ Eamon nodded one sharp, quick nod, and then James and I walked in silence to an ally by the building, and then kept walking until I knew Eamon couldn't hear, all the while saying nothing. I turned around to listen to James, When all of the sudden he just put his arms around my waist, and kissed me hard, and all I could do was rap my arms around his neck, and hope it lasted, because I didn't want to have to let go in case I lost him again, and I didn't want to fight with him, not after all of this crap that’s gone on, not after I almost died twice, and definitely not while Will is gone. So, no matter what bad blood we have against each other, I wouldn't turn this perfect blip of a moment into a fight. you are such a freaking idiot, I told myself.

He pulled back a few minutes later, and said, "I love you, and I am so sorry, Dayla. Will you ever forgive me, even though I know I don't deserve it, will you please? I need to know." "It's not your fault,” I said, “and it's not my fault either," I quickly added before he argued, "and I don't care about that right now. You're back, and that's all I'm choosing to think about right now." "Bu-"I kissed him again and he let it drop. After a minute I pulled away in-voluntarily, and said, "I have to go. My parents want me home by eleven." ‘And Will’s gonna be here tomorrow.’ I thought to myself. "I'll see you later though, right?" "We have school tomorrow, don't we?" he said with a half smile. I smiled, and kissed him again. "Or I could see you tonight too." He said. "Definitely!" I kissed him one last time and left. When I got to the car the boys were inside and asleep, that was good, now I can think this through, before I’m home. Then it hit me, I INVITED HIM OVER! Why would I do that? What insane person dose that?! Is there an excuse I could use? I’m feeling sick? That won’t work, I haven’t been getting sick for a long time, why would I start now? I need Will! Why did he have to pick this week to pick a fight with his mother? I know needing him for my own selfish reasons is wrong, but he dose owe that to me. It’s not like it was a great time to be a patient, what with the whole world falling on my lap. I drove home faster than usual and the speed didn't seem to be an issue for James, he was always right behind me, with no more than one car between us if any. Great. I don’t even have time to think about this clearly. “‘A single week, Day. Can you manage that?’ ‘Oh no problem Will, it’s not like the world will explode.’” I sighed in disgust, “I’m an idiot.”

I woke the boys up when we got home and went straight in. "Hey Dayla, how was your night?" Ginny asked. "Great, but I'm bushed. I'm going to bed." I said with a fake yawn. " 'Kay, night." she said going back to her book "Night kiddo." I said. "I'm the same age as Finn, ya know? Why isn't he a 'kiddo' anymore, hu?" she mumbled. I went to my room and shut the door quietly, and there he was at my desk. 'What's he holding?' I thought, and then I realized it was the song I sang at 'The Blackbird'. CRAP!!!!! "Hey," I said casually. "What's that?" I asked like I didn't already know. "I was hopping you'd tell me, actually." he said, with a upset look on his face, but I knew it was him, rather than me that he was mad at. I decided to play dumb for the moment, and walked over, as if to get a better look, even though I knew exactly what it was, "I guess it's a song.....that I wrought...a wile ago....I think?" my voice squeaked a little at the end. "Dayla," he said standing up. "Will you ever forgive me?" he finished as he wrapped his arms around me. "Of course. Don't blame yourself. I've told you this already, remember?” I said “I guess the only thing that's your fault is you won't listen to me." I said jokingly. "Ha," he laughed sort of, but it was more like a sigh. "I guess you're right." he sighed again. "Hey, look at me." I said lifting his chin up. "I love you, and you sobbing all night over something that doesn't matter isn't gonna change that fact, even if you sometimes act like a complete fool. Anyway, what time is it?" "Um, ten-thirty." he said looking at his watch. "Well we have school tomorrow, and I'm still surprised my parents agreed to a Sunday night gig 'cause I'm bushed, so 'Bedtime for the human'." I quoted with a smile. He kissed me again and we laid down. I fell asleep in his arms, and for the first night in a long time it was peaceful and perfect.

The next morning he was still there, and I was glad last night was not a dream, because if it was with William being gone I knew I would not be able to bare it, I would break down and for good this time, and not even my best friend would be able to help. Oh gosh! who am I, Elfine? when did I get so dramatic?! I am not living on Cold Comfort Farm. I pushed that thought away and focused on James. "Hi." I said with a smile. "Good morning, are you ready for school today, or should I make a call?" he said twirling his phone in his hand. "No. School is mandatory in the Stanley house. If only it was still the kind that you did at twelve in your pajamas, that would be nice." I said as I walked over to my closet yawning. "I'm gonna go home and change, and then come back and make you pancakes. How dose that sound?" He said walking over to me, and putting his arms around my waist. "Um...I like the 'pancakes' part, but I'm not so keen on you leaving me." I said and then kissed him. "Ten minuets? Enough time for you to get dressed and wake up your brothers. Okay?" "Fine." I said, "but I'm using a stopwatch." I said tapping on my wrist. "Don't worry. I will be to." he grinned, and then kissed me again. "Okay, go. I need to get dressed." I said afraid I had morning breath. He kissed me one last time, and said, "I love you." "I love you, too," I said, "More than anyone in the world." "I think it's quite the opposite." he said climbing out the window. I got dressed and woke up Finn, and Ginny.

Eamon was already dressed, and was putting his stuff in the car when James was finished with the pancakes, "Pancakes guys?" he asked. "Thanks' dude." Eamon said. "Sweeet!" Finn said still sleepy. "Dayla! I need your help massively!" Ginny shouted from upstairs right as I walked down them. and turned around yelling, "Coming Ginny!" The second I got to her room she said, "Before she left, Mom said that she liked this top, as opposed to this top, but I like them both. Which one?" "The green goes better with the tights and I have shoes you can ware. what's this for, anyway?" I asked with a half smile, knowing the answer. "There's this really cute guy in Spanish named Ken, and I think he likes me 'cause his friend asked me what kind of music I liked and then he told him. AND he's a Christian, so what do I do?" "You ware the red not the green, trust me, and change your tights." I said walking out her door, "Thank you so much. I owe you, we're talkin' lifetime of servitude hear Dayla, thanks'." "Well get ready, or you'll be going in your pajamas." "Okay." she said. I was about to close the door when she said, "Wait Dayla!" I turned around, and she said, "Was that James Marten I heard down stairs?" I smiled and said, "Yes that was." "Dose he know about William Peters?" she asked. "Are you Mom?" I threw back. "He's your best friend Dayla." she said. "Don't let your boyfriend get freaked out, and end up staking him." I sighed."I'm gonna talk to him at lunch. I think it would be easier if I had Anna there too." "Just make sure Anna doesn't find out first." she reminded me. "I know." I said, sighed, and went down stairs. Then I registered what Ginny said, standing at the bottom of the stairs I yelled, “Eamon! Were’s Mom?!” Eamon came out of the kitchen with a mouth full of pancakes, and said, “She went to that tiny shopping place down town, apparently she doesn't have anything to ware to that thing Dad and her are going to.” “‘That she and Dad are going to’.” I corrected him. “Right.” he said, “Oh, and she want’s you to do her hair tonight.” “Cool.” I said.

so that isn't finished, but neither is anything else in this story. I'm going to post the plot of it some time this week. It's titled Dayla And the Dead Guy(working title), and I think once I edit it I will Post the first chapter, maybe.

Oi with the poodles already!

2010-05-19T15:02:00.000-07:00

So the last few days my grandparents(Nana and Papa) came over from Arizona with my cousin Callie, and my great-grandma. it was actually pleasant. besides Callie's incessant scoffing, and the fact that Nana's an airhead and my Papa's a gun-happy old man. it was rather fun. I had a great time talking to my great-grandma. she is actually a really funny person. well they got here on Saturday, but unfortunately I had to go to a stupid 4-H thing, and therefore wasn't home until half the day was over. Well the weekend was kind of uneventful other than that, we went to San Diego on Sunday and I finally got to go surfing, although I'm not that good at it, and stupidly left my sunglasses on my head not noticing that they were there until right before I wiped out. Monday and Yesterday were uneventful, except that we had dinner at Mimi's Cafe. But the best thing to happen this weekend was that I bought roller skates! I found them at Goodwill for like $10-$20. I don't remember how much they were. I am so happy because the minute I saw them I had a vision of James Cagney's kids roller-skating in the house, in 'One, Two, Three' when they find out that Scarlet Hazeltine is pregnant, and the doctor is checking her after she passes out. I've seen this movie far too many times. It's just so funny. but getting back to the point those kids went through my head, as well as Drew Barrymore's character in 'Whip It', which is what everyone else thought of when they saw them in me. apparently I am just so violent that when I ware roller skates people automatically think of a way I can hurt others in them. although when my brother Eric saw them he gave me a look that said, 'are you kidding me? do you want to die?'. I'm actually not that big of a klutz, I just attract bad crap I guess. well it's late. must go. Good night.

Koalas are not our friends

2010-04-22T16:25:00.000-07:00

It's rather overcast today and therefore a great day to take pictures.
Of coarse my retard dog, Penelope, and little sister Grace, see me with a camera, and think they need to come and investigate/pose. you see, Penelope just doesn't like me, and no I'm not being dramatic, if you must ask my sister Ashley, and she'll flat out tell you 'we don't know why but Penelope HATES Delaney. it's weird.' i think it's that, along with technology, i also repel Animal love. they just hate me. I have only met one animal(besides cats, because they don't have a problem with me) that didn't hate me, and that was an old friend's dog Sadie. other than that they just don't like me. I think it has t do with the fact that when I was like six, my siblings and I won goldfish at a carnival at our church, and then I thought they needed water, so I put "water" in their tank, and then found out it was bleach, and I had killed our fish. so maybe it was that or maybe the day I was born was the day all the animals of the world thought they should hate the next person who breathes, and that just happened to be me. I don't know, all I know is that, besides cats, animals hate me, and thus Penelope tries to kill me every time I see her. it reminds me of a part of an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba(or as I like to call it, televised Marijuana) were they have this song about how animals are our friends, when if you study these animals you find out that some of them are vicious. Like Koalas, you don't want to piss a Koala off, you could end up dead, because of those "Cute Vicious Balls of Fur". this video is all a bunch of socialist crap, that could end up KILLING your kids. Oh great idea Nickelodeon!...wow I think I could probably win a Rabbit trailing contest, if they had those.

nothing to wear, but Michael found a Flee at Bed, Bath and Beyond

2010-04-21T13:36:00.000-07:00

Today I really wanted to wear a dress. which is actually really random for me, because I usually want to wear a skirt or my grey jeans and then I realize that I have a dress or skirt that is cuter and I end up wearing that. but today I actually started out with a dress. unfortunately this dress is at the point where I should get rid of it, so this will be the last time I will where it.

Well nothing has happened today, but it's only two so we still have time for someone to have an emotional breakdown, a realization that they are not the centre of the universe and then a giant fight between two others.
But hey, isn't that what makes life interesting?

Okay so really quickly I want to share something that I have been meaning to post since I saw it. It's a dog toy that Michael(my brother-in-law) found at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It's a flea. I know, I was scared too. ~Delaney

Okay here is today's outfit, and Sunday's outfit. I don't have one for yesterday because it was pretty much Sundays outfit with different shorts and shoes.*I need to do laundry, and find the clothes that apparently ran away, because I can't find them.*.

Today:

Tights: Target

Shoes: my Mum gave them to me I don't know were she got them but the sole says Predictions as the company.

Skirt: Target

Top: Costco, Mod Bod top. they are the most comfortable tops on the face of the planet.

Sunday:

Flats: Target

Shorts:

Head Band: Target

Purple shirt: Target

Grey top(you can't really see it): Costco Mod Bod top

Whew! long past couple of days. on the 16Th we did a Bottle Rocket Class. it was so fun. we didn't actually shoot them because we need a permit in order to do so, but we built them, and got to learn about the kinds of batteries you use when launching them. and we built them. I'll have to post pictures tomorrow and show you what they looked like.

Well off to do some major renovation on my room.

Michael on a hil l.

Some creepy chains.

Michael and Eric.

Dad really doesn't like his picture taken.

you get a tong-in-cheek look from him when you take them.

Eric is a nerd so he thought he'd make himself a snow girlfriend, and then he proceeded to make-out with it.

Dear Nicholas Sparks, you are now starring Hannah Montana in your movies. Do you get it yet?

These things are creeptastic.

Look it's Rocky! Were's Bullwinkel?

IDK what the crap this is but I want one, so I can scare the crap out of everybody.

here is the first batch of pictures of my trip.

a weirdly shaped pipe on the way there.

Green cupcakes at Mommie Helen's.

Celebrity wall at Mommie Helen's. a little bakery owned by a client of my dad's, that is loved by people such as Oprah Winfrey, and Shackle O'neal, they have amazing cupcakes.

Yellow cake at Mommie Helen's.

Michael with flowers in his hair. If I ever mention Michael making a face when he's disgusted or disturbed, and so he pulls his chin in, this is that face.

this is a car across the street, two houses and a cross walk down the street. I love the zoom on this thing

Michael, my brother-in-law, in his car.

A bird I saw across the street. I think I have mentioned my love for photography before, but if not I love it, I'm not very good, but I still love it. the gate to my back yard.

more to come.

Let's Go On A Trip Pt.1

2010-04-06T15:16:00.000-07:00

Okay, so last night I got back from Big Bear, we went a couple of weeks ago, and then we went back up on Friday, spent Easter there and then got back last night. it was so fun, and, now that I actually have my own camera, I took pictures the whole time. so I thought I'd share them after I do today's outfit post, because I will probably post three times today, because I can't post that many photos at once, (and I took 229 of them). so here is today's outfit.

Hat: Urban Outfitters

Top: Chaus (possibly vintage)

Skirt: The Villager( also vintage)

Purse: vintage Dooney and Bourke

Shoes: Target

To Be Continued......

Cleaning room, Watching Millie, and Reading Interviews with Vampire Weekend. This is my day

2010-03-24T19:18:00.000-07:00

so lately I have only been getting caught up on a whole bunch of crap. as I believe I have mentioned before, my little sister Grace has decided to move in to my room, and it is kinda a disaster right now. today has been kinda boring. I've just been trying to make it so that people can see that I actually have carpet in my room, what can I say though, I usually go through six outfits in the morning before I pick just one, and then, depending on whatever home schooled person thing my mother decided that she will not tell me about until the last moment, I will have to change again. so not much has happened today that I feel like sharing. I cleaned Grace's playroom, I tried to clean my room(but failed), and I read Night World Vol.3. I'm going to actually get stuff done tomorrow that dose't include running the world's most boring blog. Maybe I'll actually have something funny or intelligent to say then, although that's very unlikely. Oh I forgot! one interesting thing that is going to make you say 'Really Delaney?' is that today I saw 'Thoroughly Modern Millie' in full for the first time. I had never actually watched that movie. when I was younger my older sisters watched it with friends, but I was too little to find interest in it so I had never seen all of it. But now I think it was an odd movie, now technically I still haven't seen it in full, because at some moments I went upstairs. But I loved the parts I did see and someday I will actually watch it in full.

In other news I read an interview with Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig, he seems like one of those people that you want to meet just to know how you two would get along. and also because he's Uberly attractive. for those of you that don't know the band, this is for you:

http://artists.letssingit.com/vampire-weekend-fcdth/overview

I love their music. They are categorized as alternative, but their newest album has a little bit of African percussion in it and it sounds so great. I. Love. Them. I have to say I couldn't pick a favourite song by them. Every song I listen to, and every time I listen to it, I end up thinking, 'This is my favourite song.' and then I listen to another and think 'no this one.'. I actually love that about a band, and think that's what separates a lyricist from an artist. The artist always makes you want more, and you learn something new from a song every time you listen to it. were as a lyricist just puts words in your mouth because they rhyme. I think if I ever got into that business I would refer to other "lyricists" as artists, because I think it gives them a little bit more respect, instead of just being the guy/chick who wrote the words. Well random post. Short post, but I have to get off, so goodnight.

Look! I'm Blogging

2010-03-18T19:25:00.000-07:00

Whew! Crazy past few weeks. School work galore. So I'm going to try to catch you up on all the stuff we did, but be forewarned that it might get confusing. Okay! So two weeks ago on the fifth it was my mom's birthday, we had a gay old time besides the fact that it was a Friday, and so we had Marine Biology that morning. Then the next day I had to do a demonstration for my 4-H club, which kinda sucked because it was my Birthday. Yes I can't believe it either. I'm fifteen. weird. Well we went bowling. now, see, I'm like Awesome at bowling(well at least that's what the Wii tells me) so I thought it would be fun. and it was. Well other than that the past few weeks haven't been that eventful. yesterday we listened to non-stop Irish music. I absolutely love the entire world genre, and all of the people in my family(well from my mom's side) are rather talented when it comes to music, so the whole day everyone was singing along with the music. I love music. I have tried to learn how to play the piano/guitar/drums before, but unfortunately no matter how hard I try I can't teach myself to be ambidextrous. I like to think of it as being one of those people that is so right handed that it's implausible for me to use my left hand. It is the reason I type so slow. in other news, I'm glad to say that I will soon have a camera, so I might just have more excuses to blog. yay! well that's pretty much it. today has been boring. and unfortunately I have Marine Biology tomorrow, so I must go to bed. Hopefully I will have something interesting to post then. And hopefully a outfit. Pleasant dreams.

Vamping It Up

2010-03-10T13:02:00.000-08:00

As per my usual nerdyness I am in the middle of a vampire book. I am currently reading the second book, The Chosen, of the second volume, of the Night World series. It's a great series so far. I would recommend it for anyone who has a teenager, or just doesn't like how much sex there is in books anymore, who loves Vampires, Witches, and Werewolves, but this was not actually the reason I started writing this post, it was actually to talk about Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant. Today I finally finished watching it, grant it I had my sister Grace jumping on me the whole time yelling "VAMPIRES! VAMPIRES!". But it was a Really good movie. I really enjoyed John C. Reilly's character. He made a point I have been trying to get through my friend Casey's head ever since I met her; Vampires aren't all perfect! I mean, don't get me wrong I thoroughly enjoyed Twilight, and New Moon, and yes I am counting down until Eclipse, but the way some girls go on about it makes me really want to rip their vocal chords out. This is, in part, turning into a rant, because I see TOO MUCH flair on Facebook that says "Who's Lastat, I want Edward." *She says in her squeaky air head voice*. I'm sorry, but are any of these girls at least a little bit cultured?! I seriously doubt it. In another example, there is a movie that was done in 2000 called The Little Vampire, it is one of my all-time favorite movies and stars Jonathan Lipniki, and Richard E. Grant. It's a hilarious movie, and was actually well-ish known for the next few years. If you still don't know it, I'd suggest renting it, it's a really funny movie. But no one knows of it's existence. Although it wasn't as big of a movie as Twilight, it was a good movie, that any kid from the ages of four to eight(or maybe older depending on how cool they are) will enjoy. But there are the other good Vamp movies that, unfortunately, are dismissed by teenage girls, such as the classic movie Nosferatu, now I sadly haven't finished this movie, because it is a silent and therefor, if you are a slow reader, has to be paused every minute for another minute of dialogue reading, so I don't know how it ends, and can't wait to find out. But my gosh are there any cool people out there that aren't posers?! If so tell me of your existence! I need to meet the cool, semi-(when it comes to vampires)normal people! because Casey I love you girl, but if you don't get your facts straight you end up looking like a complete fool, and then I get called a poser, and although that doesn't hurt me, it dose make me seem like one of those scene girls that wear neon all the time, and no offence, but I can't wear neon, it clashes with my hair, and skinny jeans make my Norwegian thighs look horrid(and No I'm not shallow, I just care what I'm wearing). well were was I? Oh right! Another problem is that really normal people just randomly walk up to me now, and start talking to me, and I just can't deal with that, not because I'm home schooled, and therefore, according to the normals don't know how to socialize, but because they try to get me into their group, and then I say something like "'Ob ovo in toto nil desperandum.'" and they just stare at me, I say "The Little Vampire?" while in my head thinking 'Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?', and then I never talk to those people again, of course I see them, and then hear them whisper about me, because it's really easy to tell when someone is talking about you when you see them whisper to their friend, and point at you, and then you wave and they still point. I find that so entertaining. But it's kind of sad how rude this new generation is getting. I mean I ware a fracking tutu, and go to the mall. So dose a ballerina, and she doesn't get this crap. Well it's late, I'm done ranting, and want to read, so I guess I'll beat the crap out of the stupid girls tomorrow.

Randoms and Ranting

2010-02-26T10:27:00.000-08:00

I'm gonna kill my siblings. It's bad enough being the therapist in a house of nine, but it really pisses me off when they act like psychopathic monkeys! I mean, why can't Fraser live for one minute without making Grace screech like a freaking flying baboon?! why dose Eric have to be a retarded freak of nature. Fraser this morning, was trying to speak with his tongue hanging out, and then speaking in a crappy British accent. My freaking computer cord was working perfectly fine until Fraser had to use it, and now it won't stay on. My family is driving me INSANE!!!! It's like all the retards from other families got together and made a group, and I somehow was forced to join their insanity. And just now as I was showering sixty-thousand people thought it was time to use the loo, and either flush the toilet in attempt to burn my skin off, or leave the door open/turn the light off on their way out. I think I might explode. Rant Over.

In other news, we went to Big Bear today and had a lovely time, snowball fights, Horchata, and good food. All in all a good day(well minus this morning and my shower). Unfortunately I have a demonstration to practice tomorrow, that has to be presented on March 5Th or 6Th(which rather sucks, because 5Th= Mum's Birthday, and 6Th= Mine. p.s. fail.). well I think I will post today's outfit tomorrow, because I did not get a picture of it since I do not have a camera to do so, but I will start posting them as soon as I either find my Mum's, or get my own(hint, hint Mum). well back to today's trip, we mainly walked around Big Bear and threw snowballs at each other(the locals were not very happy, come to think of it neither were the tourists, except a couple of Asian ladies who LOVED Fraser and the blond colour of his hair). We walked around, Mum bought Grace some adorable clothes, and a couple antique dishes and what not, and that was today in a nut shell. other than that there is not much to tell, other than this piece of advice, even when your bag is waterproof, you need it to close on the top, and go around your shoulders, or else you may have wet books.(Fail.)

~Delaney

P.S. Sorry for the boring post, not much has happened this week.

Today's outfit and goings on, and NEW SHOES!!!!!

2010-02-07T00:10:00.000-08:00

I went shopping tonight, and bought the most amazing shoes on the face of the planet. I love them. And of course it doesn't hurt that, being 5 foot 1 and 3/4, they are heels. I love them!*she said for the second time.* I got them at Target*Where else is there to buy cute shoes in Riverside but there*, and the open toe makes them all the more cute. I also got some clothes, which I unfortunately forgot to take pictures of, and Will do so tomorrow, but since it is twelve I will only do a quick recap of today's craziness. We went to Victoria Gardens last night, and at dinner, being the moron that I am, I left my bag at the restaurant and didn't realize it until I was at my house, an hour away. So today we went down after school, only to find that my Dad had come down, just seconds before and retrieved it. You may not find this interesting, but you kind have to know that I have the worst memory when it comes to anything but vampires, and Gilmore Girls, so mum was kinda ticked. but I think if it hadn't of happened we would not have gone to Target to get my amazing shoes. have I mentioned that I love them? I have? Well, I'll say it again, I love them. they may not be the most comfortable things, but that's only because I haven't broke them in yet. and let me tell you there worth it. well I can no longer keep my eyes open, so I will bid you adieu, and a good night, or blessed be I guess, if you're a House of Night fan. P.S. Sorry the one picture is so wonkey, I was useing my sisters camera, and it's very heavy when held in one hand.

Horror Movie Madness

2010-01-03T23:56:00.000-08:00

Okay so I don't have anything intereasting going on, I'm just going to catch you up on the goings on of my day. Today I found out that I won a contest on a blog I read. the blog is The Courtesan Macabre. The author gave away two collections of horror film posters, with films such as 'The Uninvited' and '30 Days'. I was so excited today when I found out I won, but then tonight I went on a walk in my stupid suburbia neighborhood, and I saw the creepiest things. It was actually REALLY CREEPY. first I saw a tree that looked like it had no leaves, and was infested by raven mockers. seriously! the tree was creepy. I told my brother-in-law and then we laughed at my disturbed face, he said it was freaked. well we went on and then we saw a house with creepy glowing red curtains and in the dark it looked like something out of the ring. I'm even sure the light was flashing. and the last thing was that right next door to the ring house there was a Werewolf, now Michael, my brother in law, said it was just because I am five-one and three quarters, that it looked like a werewolf, but I don't believe dogs look like bears, do you?
Now I know this was a short blog and I'm sorry I don't have much more to say, but I'll leave you with this one note don't ever go walking at ten'o'clock in suburbia once you have had three cups of coffee in less than five minutes. it's disturbing.

Today's Inspiration

2009-12-02T15:35:00.000-08:00

So much stuff has been going on over here at the Barrett House that I haven't been able to blog, so here's an update. I Bought new shoes!! I love shoes, if I had a choice between getting bit by Edward Cullen, or a lifetime supply of Jimmy Choos, I would actually take the Jimmy Choos.......Well maybe not, but I still love shoes. But here's yesterday's Inspiration; Rosalie Hale. Unfortunately I don't own a grey coat, and so this is my makeshift Rosalie outfit, but I'm okay with that. And I'm wearing my new heels that I love.

I'm not gonna post Today's outfit, because it's rather boring(jeans and a top), but I will make myself blog more often, and hopefully I will have more cute outfits for you, but until then I will leave you with were I bought my outfit. Shoes, Top, and Vest: Target. and Pants: Old Navy.

Today I unfortunately do not have anything funny or sarcastic to post so I will just leave you with a quote by someone I do not know: "Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is the best defence."

Meet Dayla

2009-10-26T18:12:00.000-07:00

This is Dayla. She's not your "normal" 14 year old. She's been homeschooled her whole life, so the other kids in suburbia make fun of her for being more intelligent. She's the middle of seven kids, and one of her older sisters is an actress and another is a director, but that's not the main reason this girl is out of the ordinary, she has a big secret, her boyfriend Austin is a Vampire, and so is her best friend, and his sister, Anna, and she knew it since the day she first met them, but there are other vampires out there, and some of them have decided to let the whole world in on their "little" secret. so in fright Anna and Austin's Uncle, and legal guardian, has decided to leave town, and Dayla has no idea when, or if, she'll see her love again.

She bought her Skirt at: Target

and Top at: Target

her Shoes are from: can you guess? yup, Target.

~Delaney

Oh My Anthro.!!!!!!!!! and, I can smell the fall!!!

2009-10-07T22:49:00.000-07:00

So I just watched 'Man Shoppes Globe', and in some ways I love it, but in others it makes me mad that I can't go live in an Anthropologie. seriously! This is the BEST SHOW EVER!! It's about a buyer for Anthropologie, who goes around the world looking for things that would sell well(did not mean to rhyme)in one of the New York branches. For those of you who love Anthropologie I highly recommend this show, but I will warn you, it will make you want to drive to the closest Anthro. the second this show is over, and camp out protesting that it has beds, and clothes, so therefor you can live in it. *Daydreams about living in Anthro. for the of her life.* that would be so cool! Especially since I saw the new Fall line, that I can't wait to stock up on......Okay now I'm sad that I haven't been to Anthro. since like August for my sister's Bachelorette party in L.A. *crys a little because she misses Anthro.*. Well in other less depressing news FALL IS HERE!!! I can smell it, and can't wait till it hits California, so that we can get into the 70's in temperature. Why can't we have the really strange 'must be a God thing that this is happening' snow and/or rain, that always happens in the movies, here in California? why is it that when it DOSE rain, it only lasts about an hour to a week? Wow I guess that this kinda got "Depressing" now that I really can't wait for rain.*crosses fingers, and dose rain dance, while praying really hard* well I guess that's it for today, since it's twelve o'clock, so T.T.F.N. And I'll actually start Blogging more often, now that I have A new show that I can't wait for every week......Oh wait! The Vampire Diaries is on tomorrow night! Yesssss!!!!!!!!!!!! That makes two.

The month that sucked till the Vampires came to town

2009-09-03T19:41:00.000-07:00

I haven't been posting lately because there really hasn't been much to talk about, other than the fact that my sister's getting married, and the Vampire Diaries is starting on the tenth and I'm super exited. since I'm a massive vampire nerd I actually was counting out the day's since I found out in late July. Yes I know what you're going to say "Don't you have a life?" and it's not because I'm fourteen and home schooled(believe it or not, but home schoolers CAN have social lives) that I have nothing to do, it is actually that I CHOOSE to do nothing but school work, and read about Vampires, and sometimes only the ladder. on accident.
Well it has been freakishly hot lately and it is now just getting ridiculous, but the upside to this month (Other than the Vampires) is that my sister Bri is getting married in nine days, and I'm very happy for her and her fiance' Michael, despite my recent PRIVATE phone call to a friend, which she over herd. I haven't done much lately, and that's why the absents of posts, but if anything comes up other than the usual nonsense that goes around in my house I will be posting more often, but other than the wedding it's been a little dreary in little ol' Riverside. Sorry.
Now I don't have an outfit to post, because I have been too lazy to put on anything other than jeans and a T Shirt, because of my lack of coffee in the morning *spaces out thinking about coffee* that remineds me, I need coffee, so tootle-pip for now.

saturday's outfit and lovely wether

2009-08-21T13:14:00.000-07:00

This is Friday's outfit, but unfortunately it's not a good photo of me since I was about to fall off of the stool I was standing on, as I tried to take a crappy web cam photo. Seriously, the thing scares me, but it was the only option besides waiting for my sister to get home with my MOTHER'S camera, that is NOT hers, but if I didn't do this I wouldn't have a funny story to tell you, so I guess there's a silver lining in every crappy day. Skirt: Rummage sale. Leggings: Target. Shoes: Target.

Top: Old Navy. Other Top: Old Navy

This it Saturday's outfit, it's a little boring, but I just threw on clothes because I had to, so mainly it's just the first thing I saw in my closet, and said "Today, as long as it looks good together it's fine." that was before I realized it was a beautiful overcast day, and got super excited. so it's been a good day so far, but it is me so ten bucks says that I'll probably have to do something I really don't want to do......oh right, I forgot that today my little sister, or "the leach" as she is known in my house, wants me to go swimming with her, and wouldn't leave me alone until I promised to go with her, so really quickly I'll say:

Red top: Target
Tan over-top-thing: rummage sale

Skirt: Target

Shoes: Target

~Delaney

ahahahahahahah

2009-08-13T23:16:00.000-07:00

anoying technology

2009-08-05T19:31:00.000-07:00

okay, so i have decided that all technology despises me, and i'm not so keen on it myself anymore, and theese are the reasons why:

my zune i got for christmas two years ago randomly stopped working in June last year, and, apperantly, nothing can save it now.
i got a laptop a couple of days ago and can't figure out how to use the camera yet (because it hates me). and
before I got my computer I'd use my sister's, and it would constantly make unexplainable noises that I'd ask my brother(the biggest computer nerd since the guy who built the computer) what to do, and after a while this conversation wiuld take place: Delaney sitting at Chelsea's computer:Eric?! Eric sitting at his:I don't know what you did Delaney! leave me alone! I don't know!

so now I don't know what I should do, forget technology compleatly, and live like the omish, or lern how to not crash a computer just by stairing at it? It will have to be option number two, I guess, since I'd kill the little omish people if I had to dress like they do.

~Delaney

new dress!

2009-08-03T13:38:00.000-07:00

I bought this dress last night, and I think it's more proof of why target is awsome! I love it!!!!!

Today's outfit and grape vine madness

2009-07-31T14:11:00.000-07:00

today i actulay changed like three times befor i picked this, because i have nothing in my closet that's apropreatc for whether over 78 degrees, but then i finally found a top that, coincidentally i fixed a tair on last night, and voila! although it makes me mad that my hair is flat (left) i absolutley love the way the grape vines in my backyard look in that picture. they're so pretty! maby it's just the fact that i love phtography of randome stuff, like this really cool picture of a table at Deney's i have. i think it's cool because there's a spoon coverd in coffee, and sugar on the table, and it kinda looks like a beach, sort of. but it's weird and so am i, so it's cool. now i know what you're thinking 'what the crap is wrong with this girl? she thinkes it's cool when coffee and sugar look like a beach? is she high or just special needs?' well to tell you the truth nither, even though everyone in my family would beg to differ. ha! isn't that a funny phrase 'beg to differ'? differ is a funny word to say. and why are you begging? why can't you just differ, and if people don't like it then they can just get over it, becaues every mind is differ-ent, and therefor we're not drones and Obamights(or socialists as they are more popularly known) and some of us think way different than the abvedge Joe, and therefor come up with a tottaly differnet answer to "what's two plus two?" because we think it can be four, it can be wii bowling night at Bob's houes, and it can be me and a book(2) + a sandwich, and a cup of lemonade(2), and therefor 2+2 now equel's a nice summer afternoon by the pool. wow! if my pholosaphy major brother-in-law-to-be read this he'd probably pee his pants by laughing my logic. now that would be a funny.

dearest California...

2009-07-30T21:21:00.000-07:00

Today I realized how much I really hate the heat, and if you know me you know that I really hate the heat, so inspiration of it I wrought this little ditty.
Dearest California, why must you be so very hot?
because lovely, let me tell you, it is not.
you make me want to shout at the sky,
and ask the heavens:
why, oh, why?
oh my dearest California,
with your skis so deeply blue,
I must confess to your bros and hos
that when i see them walking around
all I can think is "ewe".
oh, you dearest California,
how you gleam with burning heat,
and again I must confess that you have won,
and I am beat.-Delaney Barrett
In other more happy news I'm getting better, and am not super sick anymore, and therefor don't want to yell out to the heavens in frustration, so yeah!

The makings of me

2009-07-30T00:11:00.000-07:00

Today I finished a skirt that I got the idea, and bought the fabric for, in April, and I absolutely love it. The only down side to weiring it is it attracts this conversation: Everyone I talked to today(E.I.T.T.T.): "wow! what's with the tutu Delaney? did you start ballet classes today?" Me:*really? like I can dance? I'd injure myself, and anyone in a ten mile radius. okay so I'm not that destructive.....on purpose.* "No I just wanted to make it for fun, just to wear." E.I.T.T.T:"you made that?" Me:*sigh* "yeah. there so much fun to make, and easy too." E.I.T.T.T:"okay...? well good for you!" Me: "thank you!" *you just gave me eyes like you think I'm crazy.* The End. now what I get from this day is that: A) people in this world have no sense of random imagination. and B) if there are people who don't think "why" when a red haired Alice Cullen walks into church wearing a tutu, then by all means please tell me were all the cool people went.
