Well, I am obsessed with the movie industry. And I like TV. Also, I love to listen to new and old music (and I don't mean old as in came out a year ago, I'm talking 1920's old which I suppose in the grand scheme of things truly is not all that old). Anyway I was watching a new show on lifetime that I enjoy quite a lot surprisingly, Drop Dead Diva. I find it funny how much I do like this because people always joke about lifetime movies and stuff. But back to the topic. The show starts with some editing after my own heart. With a upcoming pop song (gotta love it!). The particular song the I'm speaking of today is called "One of Those Days". Now I love a good ballad. But what really makes me smile is when you get a song that is talking about how their day is (and I quote) "Going perfectly wrong" and it still has a happy upbeat spirit. Absolutely nothing better to me.
Now I know your thinking "Drop Dead Diva? Really Leo? It's a life time show! Plus it's about some stupid model who becomes a heavy lawyer!". Well, if you've seen it you know that the model, Deb, is quite a ditzy girl. But even in her blondeness (Hey, I'm a natural blonde! I'm allowed to poke fun.) Deb still has a heart. And hers belongs to her almost fiance Greyson. It shows that even the dumbest and most shallow of us are capable of love. Refreshing. Sounding like a certain Elle Woods? Keep reading, its not even close. So anyway before Greyson has the chance to pop the question Deb dies. Yep plain and simple drive, lipgloss, grapefruit truck. You do the math. But then with a "Mix up" shes placed back on earth. As a lawyer. With a brain. With food cravings (something unfilimlar to Deb, quite amsuing to me to be honest). But one thing shes without, a ring. But then like the shimmer of hope Deb is, her glamorous light shines bright enough and Greyson ironically finds his way to work at the same lawferm as Jane, the woman's body Deb is now in. Will he ever find out its really Deb?
With a mix of romance, comedy, silly girlness, and an amazing "You go girl" attitude Drop Dead Diva is a surprise (Excuse the cliche) smash hit. Props to the pop songs at the beginning.
Always,
Leo

Okay, so the first day back to school. I thought it was going to be wonderful, perfect outfit, new classes, special choir class, all with my amazing friends. Wonderful, right?
What was I thinking? Gosh, I AM Leo Burton for goodness sake, which means absolutely nothing goes well. I mean were talking about a girl who hasn't made a smooth exit in years. So I think I'll list it in the wonderful order in which it actually happened. Well, first I sat down. Then my friends ran around and said hello to others. I don't mind that at all, except I sat alone. I love being alone, but not at school. So that was fine, I was thought whatever. And then I went to my locker. My pop exploded, no drink for lunch. Ugh, so I ran to the nearest toilet and got some paper towels and cleaned it up. Downer. Then I went to first period and had to run around to find an assignment book because there was not one for me. And on top of that I have almost no friends in my PE class. But, the rest of the day went nicely. Well except for my feet, I'll just say wrong shoe choice and leave it at that. But I loved it, I'm sure I had crazy lady hair the whole day but I don't care.
It really was just nice to be back.
Always,
Leo

And so I tell of my first act (the one that gave me this idea).
You have to understand that I am not a person who goes with the flow. I am in many ways different from the average teen. I don't give a crap about what other people (especially the poopulars).
I needed to clean the bathroom. I did not want to, so I made it fun. My sister and I share a bathroom, we love to jam to music. So of course we have a radio/CD player in the toilet (that's what I call the bathroom) . So, naturally I put the soundtrack to Confessions of a Shopaholic in. Well I start to clean and I look down at my soffees and tank and think "wow, this is glamorous". And then the song changes. Its Lady GaGa. Now, I don't care for her lyrics but I think shes insane looking. Awesome. Well, I decided to pretend to be Lady Gaga. While I am cleaning the toilet. I walk over into my room change into a more Lady Gaga-ish outfit. Which from my point of veiw consisted of Heavy blue eyeshadow, my longest tank top that goes to my knees, a belt, stilettos, sunglasses, and bubblegum pink lipstick. (yes thats right lipstick, NOT gloss) There I am, scrubbing out the tub and dancing in my heels and sunglasses inside. I was just thinking of how embarssing it would be if anyone saw me. And sure enough my sister came around the corner. Ugh. She looked at me and just asked
"what are you doing?"
I said, "I'm being Lady Gaga"
"Oh, okay"
And she walked away.
And now I blog. It proves that there are sane crazy people.

Well, here we are again. At the start of another school year. New teachers, new supplies (Always more than last year), new classes, new goals and hopes, blah blah blah. Okay so we all know how that goes. Its all fun and dandy until the actual work starts. But I'm not going to complain because A, no one cares and B, I don't mind learning :) (cough Nerd cough). But really it doesn't bother me. So what am I going to blog about? Hm well lets start thinking about this.
Before a few days ago I had absolutely no specific topic to blog about, but after careful research on blogging (going to see Julie and Julia), and the destruction of my happy place, I've decided to blog about how I prevent myself from going completely insane without the wide open space of my happy place. I think all who read this will be highly amused by my utter stupidity.

Well,,,
Hello everyone,
as I'm sure you already know I have NOT been blogging over the summer. Usually I take the summer off from video making and other things semi related. But now that summer is unfortunately coming to and end I've decided to blog and start working on videos again. So hopefully you'll be seeing more of me soon.
Always,
Leo ♥
