Just as an FYI... (Gwen)

Well, the news probably has spread from Miranda's post today about her getting a YouTube, and, well, the only video she has up is an introductory one. BUT, She's going to make a mini-movie, with ME as the star! It's going to be about a preteen doll who's trying to make it as an actress in Hollywood. We WERE going to shoot some of part one today, but... Miranda had.. chores, to do, so it didn't happen. The cast includes me, playing Lauren Strong, Hollie, playing my older sister(real life came into play) Meagan, Lily as Natalie(which is her full, official name in real life! XD) my best best friend, and many other dolls! I didn't list them all so there would be a few surprises along the way. But, with my info. so far, what do you think? We aren't really sure about editing the movie yet(do ANY of you know how to merge to scenes together to make a clip? For example, Miranda has to move the dolls from one "set" to another after a scene, but wants to merge the two scenes.) If you have made a doll video before, please tell us how to do it! We're just working out the story-line, for tonight, so advice would be appreciated by... oh, let's say, tomorrow afternoon? If you have editing advice for us, PLEASE share it!!! Also, to know how to make music play in the background would be awesome. ;)

New home.

I JUST moved in to my new home, and on Miranda's blog, she has a link(you have to use the link to view the photostory) to view the photostory about me moving in! :) Oh, and remember when I used to be so stuck up and everything? Well, I guess making a few friends has really made me happier and my new personality allows me to open up to people. Other than that, I don't really know what else to say... Well, i FINALLY got to know about my sister, and I feel like I JUST met her, but we're best friends.

Yayness.

As probably two-thirds to most of you know, in less than a WEEK, my twin will be here!!! :D I know, right??? She's been having a really tough time, but she has made some... I guess, good changes. One: she bought a cell phone and a laptop. Two: she has made two friends in two weeks, both who Miranda will buy one day. Three: She has been WAAAY more independent. Four: She e-mailed me and said she like-liked someone. :o

Willow is a nice doll deep down, but she seems really mean and prejuice. She's not. She's just a doll who doesn't know how to connect with people and was unsure about what in the world was going on. She didn't know how to cope with our dad's death, so she just became angry, with a hollow feeling inside like something stole half of her life. She's opening up to people now, and she's trying to be less prejudice. She's really trying! I know some people think she's just a stuck up snob, but she's just scared. She's my twin sister, and I know her better than anyone else in the world.

She was just a sweet person in the wrong place at the wrong time. She'll be here in four days or less, so you'll be able to see her.

Willow's update

Well, my journey is about half over, and it has been going, pretty well. I've been to Asia, and I've been to places most people only dream of! For instance, the Taj Mahal, and the Great Wall of China. I left my camera with Lanie, because I didn't think I would want to remember anything! But, I was being quite idiotic. Right now we are obviously in the middle of an ocean, but our next place to arrive at is South America. I haven't had the nerve to ask which country it is, though. I did meet another new friend, aside from Pippa. Her name is Kasey, and she was visiting Asia with her family. She is very adventurous and outgoing, and she likes to bake. She is very nice, and she's also from the U.S., so I "might" see her again. That chance is extremely low, but I can dream, can't I?

Also, here is a little bit more of a background story of what happened when I met my mom and Lanie was helping me pack...

"WHAT!?!? But HOW could my dad lie SO MUCH about his life?!?! I'M IN ABSOLUTE DISBELIEF!!!" I yelled.
"Well, Willow, just because your dad told you that he was a famous author, even though he really just worked in an office as the CEO of a company, doesn't mean you should get all worked up about it!" My mom said.
"Yeah, I mean, he's MY dad too, you know! I don't really care!" Lanie explained.
"But YOU don't need to wonder about the many OTHER things he may have lied about, because YOU hardly knew him!!!" I shrieked at Lanie. I threw my fork on the table and stormed off to my favourite tree. I sat under the tree(which was ironically a Weeping Willow) and cried.
"How much of my life is a lie?" I whispered to myself.

Our first debate in months!!! :o

Should the dolls in our family be allowed to be older than thirteen?
Kanani: I think that's a very legit argument, and we should be allowed to be at LEAST fourteen.
Kirtsen: I'm seventeen...
Gwen: I do NOT want to see Hollie at fourteen!!! D:
Hollie: I wanna drive!!!
Gwen: ...
Sonali: Well, I want a boyfriend, and to be a teenager...
Kirtsen: Sonali, you're turning thirteen this summer! Wait, don't you already HAVE a boyfriend?
Sonali: Oh yeah...
Chrissa: ANYway, I think we should be allowed to be as old as we like, with a maximum age being seventeen.
Elizabeth: Wouldn't Lissie and I be over 170 years old?
Felicity: I don't think we're going by that...
Lily: WHY didn't you tell me we were debating again earlier?!?!?
Lanie: YEAH! We were playing with Miranda's ipod!
Miranda: WHAT?!?!?
Lanie: Yeah, it died... :(
Miranda: :( / >:(
Lily: --_--
Kirsten: So...
Gwen: What?
Kirsten: Seventeen's the limit?
(Everybody but Sonali): Sure! Why not?!
Sonali: But I want to move out!
(Glares)
Sonali: FINE!!!

Wow, talk about LAZY!!!

I think I'm officially the laziness QUEEN!! XD Yeah, you see, I had to study for finals, and do projects, and other school crap like that... I was busy all right! School ended on Thursday, our school dance was cancelled, :( Willow's going to be HERE in two weeks, and Miranda has declared that now that she has her favorite book EVER all to herself(the Wind in the Willows), she will read it continuously all summer long. :)

I went shopping with Chrissa and Sonali yesterday because they wanted fashion help(Sonali?!?! HELP?!!??!) and I took them EVERYWHERE. I got ice cream with Lanie afterwards. :) I started summer off amazingly. :D

Oh, and remember back in March when Gwen said we were going to have a super late birthday party for her when we plant flowers? Well, that party was MONDAY!! :D Sonali was so terrible at it, it was laughable! XD

Actually, that's about it.
