Who do you think you are, a super STAR?



All eyes on you tonight
So let’s toast to you, you got so much to prove
And you say, everyone’s got a price
That’s how you get your way if not there’s hell to pay
You’re gonna huff and puff and blow the whole house down
Don’t they know you’re the king of the castle
The nerve of some people
To think we’re all equal
911 it’s me to the rescue
If I don’t speak who’s gonna tell you
Oh yea I gotta let you know
I’m here to crash your party
You think you’re the star of the show
But I’m about to let you know
I’m here to crash your party
The bigger you are the harder you fall, oh you had it all
Before I crashed your party
Who do you think you are, a super STAR?
Who do you think you are, you can kiss my oh my gah!
You’re so misunderstood
Cause you’re so complex, you and your complex
and you claim your so low key
Well you coulda fooled me, Mister TMZ
Come on show em how you huff and puff and blow the whole house down
Don’t they know you’re the king of the castle
The nerve of some people
To think we’re all equal
911 it’s me to the rescue
If I don’t speak who’s gonna tell you
Oh yea I gotta let you know
I’m here to crash your party
You think you’re the star of the show
But I’m about to let you know
I’m here to crash your party
The bigger you are the harder you fall, oh you had it all
Before I crashed your party
Who do you think you are, a super STAR?
Who do you think you are, you can kiss my oh my gah!
Sittin’ on the top of the world you got the best view
Livin’ life with a cheat sheet, nobody test you, huh?
Your mind is a mess, heart is a chess piece
Movin’ down the board now I’m takin’ down the king of the castle
While I’m on top of this beat I dazzle
How could you ever conceive I’d razzle up – ’nuff of that beef
Now I’m gonna tweak out – Now you better peace out
Cause I gotta full house, yeah baby
Four of a kind, there’s no room in my life for an ego your size
I’m here to crash your party
You think you’re the star of the show
But I’m about to let you know
I’m here to crash your party
The bigger you are the harder you fall, oh you had it all
Before I crashed your party
Who do you think you are, a super STAR?
Who do you think you are, you can kiss my oh my gah!

I thought I knew...

How is it that everything you thought you knew could turn out wrong?

You Pretend, You Stupid Girl.

You pretend you're high
Pretend you're bored
Pretend you're anything
Just to be adored
And what you need
Is what you get

Don't believe in fear
Don't believe in faith
Don't believe in anything
That you can't break

You stupid girl
You stupid girl
All you had you wasted
All you had you wasted

What drives you on
Can drive you mad
A million lies to sell yourself
Is all you ever had

Don't believe in love
Don't believe in hate
Don't belive in anything
That you can't waste

You stupid girl
You stupid girl
Can't believe you fake it
Can't believe you fake it

Don't believe in fear
Don't believe in pain
Don't believe in anyone
That you can't tame

You stupid girl
You stupid girl
All you had you wasted
All you had you wasted
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
Can't believe you fake it
Can't believe you fake it

You stupid girl.

Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright.



Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright.

Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright.

Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just do your best, do everything you can.
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright.

Everyone wears a mask no matter who they are or what they say.  All people have secrets that they are not proud of or flaws that they only pull out in the depth of their own comfort.  Sometimes if we are lucky, people will pull off parts of their mask a little at a time to reveal what is hidden to the eye.  The thing about masks is the people that wear them are not only scared about what other people may see if they pull them off, but they are scared of what they will see themselves.  No one wants to see themselves as the truth.  They want to be the best and masks are able to show them that; although, deep down they know the truth.  Do not put a show on for these around you.  Do not pretend for people.  Try to be as open as you can to show yourself.  Hope that other people will do the same.  Right now, the people you think you can trust are the ones that hide the most from you.  They have the biggest masks and although you think you know them and their motives, I am here to tell you to beware.  If only you could hear their true thoughts at two in the morning when you aren't there standing beside them and they can only say what they really feel.  I hope one day you will realize the people who really care about you will call you out on your mask and love your flaws!  Those are the people you should fill your life with no matter how much they may tell the truth to you or what hurt they may sometimes cause.  Tears may stream down your face in their presence, but as each tear falls, the things you hide will be wiped away and you will be renewed.  Take this as a warning, for somewhere far along this road, they will drop you and leave you alone to be with your own mask.

Through Many Dangers, Toils, and Snares

©Demi Ward
Model: Giselle Contreras
June 2011A Winter Break is a time for individuals to truly live young, wild, and free.  Little responsibility is held over their heads and a needed relaxation enters their hands to be used as the beholder desires.  My relaxation included breaking out of the dungeons holding me in and releasing myself among the unfamiliar.  I bonded among new friends and familiarized myself with old ones.  Both sets have had a huge impact in my life in the past year.  Driving around in the dark of nights, adventures will always show themselves awaiting with signs of trouble, yet to face your fear and conquer these snares leaves a feeling of immortality.  Nothing can or ever will take you down.  If only this break could last and never end, but for every sun that rises, it must eventually set.  If it makes you happy, then it is worth your time to experience it no matter how much you will miss it when it is gone.  This was a weekend for firsts as I did so many things I have never done before nor expected to ever do.  Only tomorrow holds what is in store for my future, but I am glad I am living my present to the fullest for it only makes my past stronger. Goodbye My Break!  I will be ready for you again when Spring comes around.....

The First Day Of The Rest of My Life

And The Boys Go On and On and On and On...

I must say never to judge a boy without giving him a chance (unless he is at a park looking at small children then you should probably judge...).  I did not give a boy a chance for five years and refused to even associate myself with him, but now I am grateful for having him in my life after the past year we have had as friends.  The boys I expected to be amazing this year ended up being the worst to me. I now understand not to allow "The Great Gatsby" effect enter my life through creating an ideal image of someone and ignoring their flaws.  I must look at the whole person and not just create the image I want through deleting their mistakes.  There are too many other amazing boys out there that deserve my attention over them.  The song I would use to describe my year with men would be Lily Allen's "Who'd Have Known".  

It's 5 o'clock in the morning (We had many of late nights or early mornings)
Conversation got boring 
You said you're going to bed soon
So I snuck off to your bedroom (Laying and Talking Together)
And I thought I'd just wait there
Til I heard you come up the stairs
I pretended I was sleeping 
And I was hoping you would creep in 
With me (I love him with me... I love us.)

You put your arm around my shoulder (First time driving around)
It was as if the room got colder (Offering me a warm place inside your arms)
We moved closer in together (As We Learned about one another)
And started talking bout the weather (Sweltering Summers... Freezing Winters)
Said tomorrow would be fun (Promising to Call)
We can watch A Place In The Sun
I didn't know where this was going (Still don't...)
When you kissed me (Perfect.)

Are you mine? (What are we?)
Are you mine? (What will happen to us?)
Cause I stay here all the time (We are always together.)
Watching telly, drinking wine 
Who'da known, who'd known (I would never have expected this.)
When you flash up on my phone (My heart would smile.)
I'd no longer feel alone (You were the only one I could count on.)
No longer feel alone (You made me happy.)

I haven't left here for days now (Every day together.)
And I'm becoming amazed how (You are amazing.)
You're quite affectionate in public (Becoming closer and more willing to show ourselves.)
In fact, your friend said it made him feel sick (Too bad for him.  Loser.)
And even though it's moving forward (How far forward are we moving?)
There's just the right amount of awkward (Still the butterflies...)
And today you accidentally
Called me baby (Oh baby...)

Are you mine? (What will happen as in a year we could never see each other again?)
Are you mine? (Do you want me?)
Cause I stay here all the time (In your arms.)
Watching telly, drinking wine
Who'da known, who'd known (No one saw this coming.)
When you flash up on my phone (The feeling enters of happiness.)
I'd no longer feel alone (You never would try to hurt me.)

Let's just stay (Let's not leave this place.)
Let's just stay (Let's just go further in.)
I wanna lie in bed all day (With you.)
We'll be laughing all the way (We always understand one another and our humor.)
Told your friends (Told them, but they do not understand.)
They all know (Not all....)
We exist but we're taking it slow (So slow... eleven months of questioning.)
Now let's just see how we go (Let's start something)
Now let's see how we go (Let's see what happens.)
Now let's see how we go (It is a new year, a new time.  Let's do something about it.)



Prom 2010
The Lovely Ladies

I have made so many amazing friends this year!  I am so blessed to have a girl who stuck with me throughout the worst when no one else would dare look at me.  She was my best friend and still is one of my closest.  Thank you for giving me my summer and its happiness, Taran.  You are beautiful and I love you.  There is no one I have ever been able to count on more than you whether it was my eighteenth birthday and you were the only one with me or when I was about to have a mental breakdown due to stupid boys and the only solution was to make lots of cookies (LOTS OF COOKIES) in my cookie monster shirt and then stalkerishy deliver them.  Thank you for the many chats and the many times you comforted me from my struggles.

Dodo Desserts
Starbucks Run

The Ladies












I have made some new friends as well as I have entered a new chapter of my life at Olympus High School!  I love my new friends to death as they make me want to be a better person and are always there to fill my heart with joy and laughter (The Comedian Kaycee White).  Whether in search for a good party (Mads Jensen) or just a night at a restaurant to get dessert (All the Girls), we have amazing times together.  I love the crazy drives with my other ladies (Christa Isaia, Kyla Vigil, and Nicollette Duncan)!  We are the party animals and sexiest women alive and everyone knows it!  Thank you for the memories!  They will honestly last a lifetime and I treasure all your friendships!  I love you. The song to describe my friends this year "I'll be there for you" by The Rembrandts.
Monster Mash 2011
Crazy Adventures



The Little Devils...
Enemies are always growing, but all I have to say is "You wanna piece of me?".  You are drama so grow up.  Thank you. The easiest song to describe this is Britney Spears' "Piece of Me".
No Drama Lil' Mama




Saved By The Bell

The Peacock By Victoria Vincent
Olympus Titans
I have begun classes at Olympus High School this year and love it! I am learning tons and am happy while I am doing it!  I have finished all my college applications and have some scholarship offers, but as of now I have no idea where my education will take me.  This year will bring much growth and change as I learn more about myself and more about what I want to do with my life.  I have learned to love more things and developed stronger talents!  One of my favorite classes would be painting.  I love sitting down for hours and begin to paint my dreams.  The simplest song to describe this is the "Saved By the Bell" theme song.
         


Finally My Family

BYU Football Game
Halloween
I thank my family for putting up with me and my crazy self everyday!  Thank you to my roommate Katherine Annie for always helping me with boy problems and being my best friend.  I love you no matter what you put me through or I put you through.  I will miss you next year when I won't have you following my side at every possible moment, but it is time for me to spread my wings and get out from under your roof!  The song to describe them would be "Family" by Laurie Berker and Band.
My Family
