PLEASE READ THIS IS IMPORTANT

Yay for views on my blog!

Boo for lack of comments on my blog!

So, I know that I seem greedy, asking for views and comments.

But, in all honesty, I just want some affirmation that people like what I write.

Is that too much to ask?

I’m asking for you to leave a comment, or +1 it or tweet it or anything. It takes like 1 minute. What’s so hard about typing “I liked it” or just clicking the +1 button? I see that I have page views, but I have no idea if all 1,000 of my page views are robots or people. I used to have readers (shoutout to Madison, Caydancana, and even the bullies and anyone else that ever commented. Sorry I didn’t mention you, I just can't remember off the top of my head and I’m writing this in a word document on the way home from school.). Now, I just have a mysterious +1-er who +1’s all of my posts. Who are you, man? I just want to know so I can properly thank thee.

Yeah, I went Shakespearean there. Deal with it.

But honestly, I take time to sit and write these out when I should be doing homework. The least you can do is comment.

That’s it. Again, I remind you, comment, tweet, share, +1, anything. It takes a few seconds.

Have a nice day.

Remember, you can change the world when you change your mind.

Updated GTML 2

Welcome, my people! Are you ready to take a plunge into my brain?

Dictionary:
Carrot: Sh*t
Vacuum: F*ck
Marshmallow: D*mn
Kangaroo: *ss
Coaches: B*tch*s

Names:
Lila: My best friend in the entire world, I wish she was my sister. I never get to see her though.
Zev (Zevipoo, Zevi, Brother of Mine...): My little bother (I mean brother) who has his own YouTube channel and I appear a couple of times and scream like a horror movie victim.
Alexandra: I don't know if I've mentioned her, but she is my almost step-sister and I will most likely be complaining about her because she is annoying as vacuum.
Allison: My almost step-mom. She is an amazing cook.
Jeffrey: My mom's boyfriend who is, well, he's Jeff. He is a techie and got me my phone and laptop.
Jordan: Jeff's daughter who is a punk. She is awesome.
Jason: Jason is Lila's now ex-boyfriend. He is a really good friend of mine too.
Rachel: A really sweet girl who goes to camp with me. She is really obsessed with Glee and Troyler. She had a really big crush on Jason at one point, and since then has backed off because he asked Lila out instead of her. I'll get to that big thing later.
Emily: One of my bestest friends in the universe. She is one of the sweetest, most talented person I know.
Josh: Belle's boyfriend and a major jackkangaroo. He spoiled a LOT of Doctor Who for me. But he's really funny and cool. AKA Comrade Marcotte, Marcotte, and a variety of other things.
Belle: A strange person who tries way too hard to be friends with me and Lila. Josh's girlfriend. I was once walking back to our bunk after free time one night, and I saw them making out outside of it. I was trying to sneak past without disturbing them or looking like I was creeping on them, but suave me ended up slipping on the wet grass and falling on my butt. Needless to say, they noticed me screaming as I fell. What? It was a very rainy summer. I think that was the 2nd time I had fallen that night. THAT NIGHT!
Avi: Lila's brother who is older than all of us.
Tyler: A very musically talented guy who goes to camp with me.
Matt: An amazing artist who was part of Aardvarks and who probably has an Aardvark name, I just can't think of it.
Shane: A really funny and fast guy. He doesn't seem important now with his lack of bio, but he was a key part in- Lila's hand magically appeared over my mouth.
Ari: A really strong, really fast, and really tall guy who is really sweet and really good at Jungle Speed.
Tiffany: A girl that Zev likes that I am not a fan of.

Nerdy Stuff:
Doctor Who: Just Google it. If I have any theories, I will devote whole posts to explain them. Yup, this is my life.
Sherlock: Another thing to just Google, but make sure that its the version on BBCA and starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Another really good video starring Benedict Cumberbatch is the counting on Sesame Street thing
Aardvarks: A group of my friends at camp who meet every Saturday at 2 for Jungle Speed but 3 for our actual meeting at the Meercaz. In other words, we are a group of nerds who have organized times for meetings and play really nerdy games. We also have names for ourselves (by we, I mean some of us who did a graphic design class with Lila's brother. We were trying to make a brand and to do that, we basically came up with names for those of us in the class.) I am Stoopid Ardfark, Lila is Ninjaardvark, Jason is, I think, Darth Vark, Rachel is Gleekvark I think, Tyler is Aaaaaaarddddddvaaaarrrrkkkkk (to be sung operatically because he has an amazing voice), Avi is Momo or Mother Aardvark, Josh is Bohemian Aardvarc, and I can't remember anymore although I'm sure there's more.

Drama. This might not seem important, but I'm pretty sure it will be important later on.
I should probably start with the whole Rachel-Jason-Lila thing.

I still love all of you.

Except maybe Marcotte.

Okay, in a nutshell here is what happened during the 4th of July celebration at camp.

A big thing at camp is having a date to the fireworks and another big thing is relationships.

Neither of which I've had in the past 6 years I've gone to camp.

But this year something changed.

Instead of innocently watching the fireworks and recording them and making a lot of comments on them, I was involved in a big big thing.

Plus my brother, who is 11 had a date to the fireworks.

Okay, so Rachel liked Jason. A lot. Like she texted him everyday.

And Jason liked Lila a lot. And she liked him.

Jason wanted to ask Lila to the fireworks but was scared to because he valued Rachel as a friend.

Okay. Read carefully here. It gets complicated.

Avi, Elana (Jason's sister, I didn't give her a bio because this is like 1 of 2 times I am mentioning her, and I don't know if I spelled her name right), me, Shane, Josh, Matt, Ari, Belle, and Zev had this massive plan to get Lila and Jason to sit together during the fireworks. And we ended up not needing the plan because Jason asked her out literally two minutes before the fireworks. And Rachel decided that now I was her new best friend and basically used me as a rag to mop up her tears and a stuffed animal to listen to her. A lot of drama happened because of this and I actually got in trouble for it.

I don't want to write anymore about it.

It's kind of upsetting, especially since now, Lila and Jason have decided it wasn't right for them to be in a relationship.

For the record, I haven't heard from Rachel since before they broke up.

So, that's one part.

Another part is my family.

We are screwed up. And I mean SCREWED!

So, my dad isn't my biggest fan. And when I say that, I mean, he once threatened to send me to a mental hospital.

No joke.

I'm seriously not kidding.

He's been getting better, but he still is sort of cruel to my brother, mostly.

Also, my school has a lot of freaking drama, but honestly, I don't care about it, so...

And my old school also has a lot of drama that I really don't care about, but two girls who now go to school with me and are besties with 2 big drama queens are always talking about it, but still, I don't care...

And now I'm a little bit worried that didn't make sense.

Oh, well.

That is literally all I can think of for this right now, so I will just tweet the link to this and do nothing for the rest of the day.

All links are below, remember to subscribe, like, follow, anything.

Wazzup

So, again, I am looking for requests from y'all for what I should write about. I'm sorry that I might have seemed, ah, aggressive in  my last post, but that wasn't meant to scare anyone away.

I've decided that I can deal with the haters. I have a support system now, on a little website called Wattpad. My friends are always there for me, at my highest and at my lowest, and I am there for them.

If you want to know my Wattpad UN, leave a comment.

Anyway, that's about it. I don't have anything else to say besides that I want requests.

Have a good day.

Fandoms

This is a rant.

On fandoms.

Disclaimer: I don't hate fandoms. I am a proud member of a number of them. The people in fandoms are entertaining, and interesting. 

But what I'm writing about are the bad sides of fandoms that aren't often seen by the general public.

As a proud member of various YouTube fandoms, the Doctor Who fandom, the Sherlock fandom, the Supernatural fandom, and the Pentatonix fandom, I know what its like to fangirl.

And its fun to fangirl, when you're with some friends who appreciate the fandom as much as you do.

But sometime, fangirls/fanboys get annoying. Fast.

Take one of my friends. Let's call her... Troyler.

Which is a ship that she is obsessed with.

So, I was at a convention like 3 weeks ago, and Troyler was there.

Troyler lives about 3.5 hours away from me, and I don't often see her.

There is only so much of her that I can stand.

I spend 2 months with her every year, and that pretty much fills my quota of her for the year.

But for this convention, she had requested me for her room.

Yes, I had to sleep in the same room as this, well, frankly annoying hanger-on fangirl.

I love her, in small doses.

3 days, 2 nights. 

One hotel room with 2 other girls who were barely in there.

And I wasn't allowed to be on my phone, iPod, or any other electronic.

So, basically, since my other friend who Troyler hung onto wasn't there, she was all over me.

Wanting to talk all about Troyler and Zalfie and whoever else she shipped that she thought that I shipped too.

Its annoying.

I'll finish this by saying: I love to talk about my fandom, I really do.

But enough is enough.

If I never heard her squeal the word Troyler again, it would probably be too soon.

And God, I hope she never reads this because she would know immediately that I was talking about her.

That's pretty much it.

Now, don't get on my case about complaining about fangirls/fanboys.

I love being a fangirl.

End of story.

Comment, read, whatever.

Peace.

I'm back, b*tches.

I'm back, b*tches.

Take that, haters.

I'm still kicking.

Have sh*t self-esteem, sure, but still here.

So, any hate?

Go shove it up your worthless little @ss.

You wanna fight me?

Go ahead.

I'll report you.

Great.

Requests?

Go ahead.

Comments?

Go ahead.

Hate?

Shove it.

Compliments?

Appreciated, but not necessary.

Really, all I'm looking for is some affirmation that people are reading and enjoying what I'm writing.

End of story.

So, you all know what to do.

Read, comment, whatever.

Just want people to enjoy what I write.

No promises that they'll all be happy posts, but at least some will be.

Peace out, b*tches.

Haters

I give up on people and humanity.

Honestly, that was such a load of it.

How can someone be the chief of the "cyber police"?

BTW, fuck you.

Model my ass.

And, you're right. I have never worn a bikini. But that's not because I'm fat.

Its because I honest to goodness have an eating disorder.

I have body image issues.

I have never been part of what is considered a healthy weight.

I am obese.

So whenever I see comments about my weight, I feel like I'm going to cry.

And sometimes I do.

So, fuck off haters.

I give up on fighting you.

Haters. Part 1

Haters suck.

Hey y'all. 

How are you guys? Good? Good. I'm happy for you. 

So, as you can tell from the title, this is part one of my series on haters. 

I mentioned that I had another part written that I was going to use as a part 1, but then I got another hate comment from Mennawhatever Awhatever. 

And that girl has a talent for making people feel badly about themselves. 

Not only did she insult me this time, but she insulted my best friend who has never done anything on my blog but read it. 

How do we know that you're not a fat loser or slut?

Anyways, back to haters. 

Why do haters hate?

Is it because they have nothing better to do?

Is it because they're jealous of whatever they're hating on?

Is it simply for the sake of hating?

I don't get it.

I mean, sometimes, I don't like things, but I won't stick around and watch or read the entire thing. And I won't comment on it saying something like, "God, this sucks. Go die in a hole."

Some people think that I seem that way and I would totally act like that, but I don't.

So yeah, if you could let me know why you think people hate or why you have hated on something in the past. I'll dedicate the next part to the first person who comments something that is not hate. 

I'll see you guys later. 

Love always,

Maia

Any requests?

HELLO?

Hey y'all!

So, I was considering giving myself a request, but then I was all, "Is that egotistical of me?"

It probably is.

So, I didn't.

But I do want to do a series of posts on haters, but I don't know how many people that would anger.

And that worries me.

So, if you do want me to do a series of posts on haters, let me know.

Also, give me requests.

PLEASE!

I'M BEGGING YOU!

I have no inspiration for posts.

And I don't feel like starting my hater series yet, I mean, I have, but like, its not good for posting yet.

Plus, my friend and I are going to be doing a tag on here.

I also want to possibly get interviews from people.

I would be cool.

And so would the interviews.

So, I am rambling.

And I need to go.

Bye.

Love always,
Maia

HELLO? ANYONE HOME?

Did the name change confuse people?

Hey y'all.

Okay, I have an honest question.

Are people not able to find my blog now because I changed the name?

Should I change it back so that people can find me?

MADISON, SHAWNA, CAYDANCANA, MADISON'S FRIEND! DID YOU GET LOST?

So let me know if you got lost finding my blog, or if I should change it back so that you can find it again.

But even if you don't care about the name, let me know what I should talk about next.

Love always,
Maia

Name change!

Hey y'all! 

I know I just posted something earlier, but I wanted to ask: what do you guys think of the name change? I've sorta given up on YouTube for now because I don't have the time or energy to edit and film. So right now, I'm sticking with the blog. 

Lemme know what I should write about next time and what you think about the name change!

Love always,

Maia

Saying "NO"

Okay, Caydancana, this is for you.

Hey, y'all! How are you doing on this fine day?

So, Miss Caydancana Poiyotha requested that I write about, well, nothing exactly in particular. But from what you wrote, I'm going to guess that you want me to talk about saying NO in certain situations.

And, I have not personally had to say no to a situation like you wrote about.

Now, before you all go saying, "What did she tell you about? What was it?", I'm not going to tell you. It seemed like a personal thing.

But, I just have a quick question. Why were you even there in the first place at your age?

Whatever. No reason.

So, I know that a lot of people are thinking that in order to break out of your comfort zone, you have to say yes to everything.

I don't totally agree with that.

Saying yes to somethings is good. For instance, saying yes to being asked out on a date is a good thing. But saying yes to doing something life-threatening, like car-surfing or smoking cigarettes, is not good.

Personally, I feel like whenever YouTubers make a video where all they talk about is saying yes to different situations outside of their comfort zones, they are basically saying say yes to anything and everything. Which can be dangerous.

So, what I am saying, is don't say yes to everything and anything. If you are uncomfortable with doing something, you can say no. But don't let the fear of the unknown hinder your life.

Although, yes, I am telling you to say no whenever you feel necessary, I can personally say that in certain situations, I said no.

And I regret it.

I don't want you to suffer that same regret.

So, say yes when you think you should and comfortably can, but say no whenever you feel the need to.

I'm sorry if this didn't make sense.

Love always,
Maia

Dear Mile-Long Coach

Hi, Malsbfkhbeqbomsdnjasrhkjlnqwlkkasfuaf Alkbahdflewlrckqlkwetljkwerqewr

I hope I spelled your name right.

I hate you.

You think that I write badly?

Just, reread your comment.

Have you heard of spelling, capitalization, and punctuation?

Also, have you heard of bullying?

Yeah, what you said hurt.

I don't appreciate you making fun of my weight.

You really hurt my feelings with that.

I made fun of your name. You gonna kill me now, coach?

Can I just address haters as a whole?

Why are you hating on something continuously? Like, why are you still watching/reading it?

If you hate it, than stop.

And Menna-whatever, I get that there are other people who probably do write better blogs than me. But this makes me happy. I'm not getting paid or anything. Did you know that they get paid by the likes they get? I don't have ads on my blog, therefore I don't get paid.

And yes, not many people read and watch me, but I don't care.

I'm doing what I love and that's all that matters.

No one can tell me what to do.

Except my mommy.

And as far as I know, my mom doesn't comment on my blog and hasn't told me to delete it, so I don't have to.

I'm not planning on deleting it or stopping writing for a while.

So you can go take your hate and shove it where the sun don't shine: H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks.

Leave me alone, haters.

Love always,
Maia

Mean Girls (Real ones, not the movie)

Shawna, you are a sweetie.

Hey, y'all!

Another request from the awesome Shawna. She wants me to write about why girls are so mean today.

And I have one word for you: Jealously.

To quote from Rogers & Hammerstein's "Cinderella: The Enchanted Edition", "They're just jealous of how faaaaabulous you are!"

I was the Fairy Godmother for that show. I got to say that line.

And it made me feel really goo

Wait, what am I talking about?

Oh, wait.

Why girls are so mean.

Okay, I have been told my whole life that girls are mean because they are insecure and jealous of you.  And sometimes, I can see that, but other times, I can't believe it.

But there are always the few times when a person does something where you might want to be mean to them, but they might not deserve it. And if you are mean to people, I want you to stop think abut what you're doing and saying. Do they really deserve it?

Are you being a Regina George?

I'm just kidding about the Regina George part, but really.

BE NICE!

I have no idea where this is going, so, uh...
BYE!

Love always,
Maia

High School Popularity

Hey y'all!

I got my first request for a post!

Shawna Lindowski asked me to talk about high school popularity, so I will!

Let's see, high school popularity.

Its rough, the high school food chain.

Getting to the top, being noticed, staying at the top, ignoring drama...

High school is its own little government.

There's the "queen bee", who, especially in movies, is typically a cheerleader or an athlete. I know that at my public school, our grade was too big to have one specific popular girl, but the top 8 I can think of were basketball and lacrosse-playing girls. They all also dated boys from the other middle school in my district.

There's also the "quarterback". Okay, now my situation is special. I was really good friends with the quarterback of my middle school's football team.

Also, there were, again, about 8 popular guys, and I personally was friends with 3 of them. They all played football, they all played basketball, but they were really nice in class, but in public, it was all "look, omigod, don't make eye contact, its that girl who is in all of my classes".

But, thankfully, I didn't see them outside of school often.

Now, I don't know how many of you go to private versus public schools, but private school was different from that. Everyone knew who everyone was, and no one was really excluded. Its hard to forget about someone when there are only 46 people in your grade.

My high school grade this year is 46 kids, and there is no real popular person. But there is the same amount of drama that there would be in public school. For example, I can tell you that at least 3 times, I heard in the bathroom or somewhere else, "Omigod! Did you hear that *BLEEP* gave *BLEEP* a *SOMETHING THAT IS SORTA INAPPROPRIATE* and then found out he was dating someone else!" Well, honestly, I have already heard that about the same amount of times in the gym locker room or in the van on the way home.

So even if someone isn't like the queen bee or anything, there will always be the one person who is the center of drama.

Its rough.

So, Shawna, I replied to your comment, and finished the blog within 30 minutes of posting that. And I was only about a paragraph in.

If you want quantity over quality, find someone else.

And if you want me to write based on your requests, don't ask me to post the night after you request your topic.

Seriously.

But still, love always,
Maia

For Madison's Friend

I AM STRESSING!

A sweetheart named Madison Polia commented on my last post, saying that she told her friend that she would be able to read a new post tonight.

Thanks, Madison.

I mean, thanks for commenting and all, but YOU GAVE ME SO LITTLE NOTICE AND NO TOPIC!

So, I'm gonna ramble.

It works for me.

So, today, I had a snow day.

Again.

Don't murder me, but I am really starting to hate snow days.

Seriously, in the last month and a half, I have had something like 8 snow days.

I am really bored, because I can't believe I'm saying this, but my teachers couldn't be bothered to send us homework to do on these days where everyone else is watching Netflix, but I'm watching my dogs play in the snow.

I've been considering writing something today, but i figured that since I didn't have anything to do over the past three days, I wouldn't bother.

But Madison gave me this request, so I'm dedicating this ramble to her.

Enjoy, Madison and her friend!

Also, can I address the fact that last winter, we had literally no snow days, but this year, we've had like a whole month of them?

I HATE SNOW AND COLD WEATHER AND ICE AND WINTER AND ICE AND WIND AND COLD AND EVERYTHING ABOUT JANUARY, DECEMBER, AND FEBRUARY!

But, really, the only part I like about it is the fact that I can drink tea without overheating because my tea, while warm, is cooler than the outside.

I hate it.

So, again, this is for Madison and her friend. But I still love all of you.

Remember to subscribe, follow, like, +1, and all that stuff. Also, if you want to post a comment, use your name not Anonymous. And if you want me to post at a specific time, request something so that I'm not rambling like this.

An Update that I just want to tell y'all

Hi guys,

So, lately, I've been getting a lot of comments, which makes me happy, but a bunch are hate comments. And one literally scared the carrots out of me. Like, it was asking a question that was really personal that I haven't told anyone in these blogs. But see, the creepiest part was that the comment was made by an Anonymous user. I guess it wouldn't make much of a difference if I had known who it was, but it was still worrying.

What? I can't be worried when an Anonymous comments on my post with personal information about me?

Moving on from that, I'm sorry I haven't been updating in a while, I've been busy with school and carrots.

High school is hard.

Sorry kids.

Going back to the whole comment thing, once I figure out how to not let Anonymous people comment, I would like you to know that I won't be allowing Anonymous people to comment anymore. It seriously creeps me out when I see messages asking why I switched schools by Anonymous. WHO ARE YOU?

Oh, god. Its taken me like three days to write this, and I'm not even done.

Okay.

Let's focus.

Basically, all I wanted to say was that Anonymous comments without some kind of signature on them will not be tolerated.

And also, if you let me know what you want to see me ramble about, I will dedicate that post to you, if you leave me your name, screen, pen or real. But seriously, if you are the one who asked me about my school, TELL ME WHO YOU ARE!

I have been jumping around, Holden Caulfield-style, and I need to stop.

So, all links are below, comment, +1, tell your friends, enemies, and your frenimies, subscribe to my channel, and Zev's, blah blah blah.

Love always,

Dear Whoever, I seriously don't give a carrot what you think.

Read the title. It's your life, not mine.

Dear Anonymous3

Dear Anonymous3,
Yes. I don't go to parties and do "fun things". That's because high school is not a movie. I don't know if you aren't from America, or if you're just in middle school, but high schoolers' lives are not "High School Musical", 1, 2, or 3.
Sorry.
Love always,
Maia

If you're gonna hate on me, don't read my blog. Yes, I am talking to you, "disproving my lyfe". Also, if you're going to bother commenting, learn how to spell. Please, I beg of you.

Dear fellow Student

Dear Classmate who reads this,
Mrs. Grolnick wouldn't give me your name, but I wanted to thank you for telling her. I really appreciate you reading it, but I would sincerely like if you didn't tell anyone at school about my blog. Its a personal thing where I abuse the internet and let off steam, and while I'm happy you read it, I would rather you didn't tell anyone that you are reading my blog. Thanks.
Maia

Dear Bully Commenter

Dear Bully Anonymous/possibly Bethany Mota,
I don't tolerate hate. So you can go vacuum off. Goodbye.
Love always,
Maia

PS, I have 7 subscribers on my channel and 20some followers on here. SO YOU CAN SUCK IT BETHANY MOTA LOVER!

Thanks to Anonymous2

Dear 2nd Anonymous,
Thank you so much for taking the time to sit down and watch my videos, read my blogs, and comment on my post. You made me feel better when I read this, so thank you. I hope you keep reading and watching and enjoying.
Love always,
Maia

Thanks to Anonymous

Dear Anonymous person who was the first commenter,

Thank you so much for writing that and showing me that someone alive actually reads this.

You are better than my mother at that.

You better keep your head up too, girl.

Love always,

Maia

Slight Aggression and Wanting to Know Who Reads This

Why doesn't anyone even comment on these? MOMMY DO YOU EVEN READ THESE?

Okay.

Aggression is out.

AHHHHHHHH!

Maybe not.

I think I'm good now.

So, hi guys!

I haven't made a video in a while, I know. I mean, I did make one, I just haven't finishing editing it. I think. I might've, I just don't really remember.

So, I wanna tell you guys a funny story.

I'm in high school, and my teachers think I'm smart!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Mother, I swear to God, if this is the first post you comment on, I will punch you.

I am going to be updating GTML probably sometime today. I thought up a couple more things to write. So pretty much, I'll be making a new post and copying and pasting everything from the first post, so no need to read that one first. I will not be making a video most likely. I just don't have the time.

But I will be tweeting it!

I don't know if you guys have heard, but Ryan Higa, one of my favorite YouTubers and inspirations, recently made an email for his channel. I sort of want to do the same thing, not because I wanna copy him, but because I wanna know about you guys! So if you have any questions for me, you can tweet me, ask in my ask box on tumblr, comment on here, comment on my videos, and now you might be able to email me! If my mom will let me. (It'll be my mooshiebar email, not my other one!)

I also wanna make an Instagram, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Hey, if you guys are from twitter, will you tell me?

I WANNA KNOW YOU GUYS!!!!

I don't know if I've made that clear yet.

I just realized I've been doing pretty much daily posts.

Hmm.

Would you guys like videos like that? They would be quick things, crappy and probably unedited, but I would put up a better done video, hmmmmmm, let's say every Friday. That would be like one of my videos that I have up now, I would just have a bunch of vlogs leading up to it. They wouldn't be good vlogs though. They would probably be me ranting to my laptop. Since I'm a student, you wouldn't be following me around in my school. You wouldn't like that.

So, just tell me what you think about that, and if you like these daily posts.

I love you all!
Love always,
Maia

Bible class... What a waste of time!

I feel like I'm still sitting in my room talking to my stuffed animals.

That's how much of a response I'm getting to this blog.

It's kinda insulting.

According to my stats, I have 104 page views, but no comments.

I'm really insulted.

But I'm gonna keep writing, because it is a welcome respite from Bible class.

My bible class is really hard to focus in. I take maybe 2 notes per class, and pay like no attention.

Sorry, Mommy.

It's the truth.

Ya know, I might as well just address these posts to you, if you're the only one to read them.

Okay, onto the next topic.

Have you guys heard of TedTalks?

It's a thing that I guess a guy called ted started.

But anyways, there was a kid named Sam Berns on it about a month ago. His video is truly inspiring.

He has progeria, a condition that causes his body to age 8 times faster than normal. He had such a positive outlook on life, but sadly, he died last Friday.

Because of his positivity, he had so many opportunities in life that if he hadn't been born with progeria he probably wouldn't have had. For example, a dream of his was to March with his high school marching band while playing the snare drum. The problem was that the snare drum and harness weighed 40 pounds together. Sam only weighed 50. Alongside an engineer, his family worked to make his dream a reality. In the end, Sam along with his team of his family and an engineer, managed to produce a snare drum harness that weighed only 6 pounds. Because of this drive, he was able to accomplish his dream.

The Sunday after he died, Sam was supposed to be an honorary captain of the New England Patriots. He had been friends with the owner, who loved Sam for his positivity. Sam was battling pneumonia and had been staying in the hospital, but everyone expected him to beat this.

He had already lived to age 17, 4 years older than most children with progeria live to. But still, his death came as a surprise to his family.

I strongly suggest you go watch Sam Berns on TedTalks because he talks about his philosophy and guide to a happy life.

But enough of the serious stuff!

By the way, I watched that video during my JS class. Aren't you happy, Mommy? All that tuition being paid to watch YouTube videos for 44 minutes. (We watched another videos afterwards and also discussed it)

So, again! Enough of the serious carrots!

I'm updating my Guide to my Life (GTML) and will hopefully post a video later tonight!

I will also probably end up posting again in here.

What? It's therapeutic.

See, Mother? I don't need a therapist. I just need my blog and camera.

But, anyways, robot spammers!

Remember to follow me on twitter, tumblr, subscribe to my channel, like my videos, tell O2L you wanna see me on Surprise Sunday, and comment down below: if you were a giraffe, who would you play in basketball first?

My answer to my question: Zachary Bross. The kid is a freaking giant.
And follow my blog!

School. Should be paying attention. Am I? NOPE!

I'm writing during school, I'm writing during school, it's so much fun, because I'm writing during school!

Sorry, I'm a little bit happy that I didn't have to present this thing I had to do for history today. Instead I have to do it tomorrow! More time to fix it and get prepared!

So, I wanted to ask something of you guys.

If you're reading this, can you comment below or on one of my videos, "Purple elephants fly when the sky is pink." It's how I'll know people are actually watching my videos or reading my blog.

If you would rather I must did one of these, like if you like to read what I think more than here me talking about it, let me know because it would be really easy for me to only do one of the two. I'm actually thinking of taking a break from videos so that I can focus in school and maybe pt out a blog post a day. Or more, it's really therapeutic to write this out.

I would like to quickly give a shoutout to my mommy, who stalks me on every social media possible. I can't hide anything from you, Mother!

I would also like to shout out Jim Chapman and Ricky Dillon because they both have responded to comments I've put on their videos! And because I just love them.

Also, have you guys heard of Our 2nd Life? They are great. They used to do this thing called Surprise Sunday where they had someone who didn't usually do O2L make a video with their theme of the week. And I put in a business request to Ricky Dillon to see if they still did that and if I could be on it!

If you guys wanna see me be on Surprise Sunday, go on any of Ricky Dillon's, Connor Franta's, Kian Lawley's, Trevor Moran's, and Sam Pottoroff's videos and say, WE WANNA SEE MAIA! Because it wanna be on there. PLEASE!

Anyways, I should pay attention to school now. That was for you, Mother because we all know that will be exactly NOT what I will be doing.

Remember to follow me on twitter, tumblr, and subscribe on YouTube, all will be below.
Love always,

Guidebook to my Life

Welcome, my people! Are you ready to take a plunge into my brain?

Dictionary:
Carrot: Sh*t
Vacuum: F*ck
Marshmallow: D*mn
Kangaroo: *ss

Names:
Lila: My best friend in the entire world, I wish she was my sister. I never get to see her though.
Zev (Zevipoo, Zevi, Brother of Mine...): My little bother (I mean brother) who has his own YouTube channel but has no videos. He has been in several of my videos and will be in more.
Alexandra: I don't know if I've mentioned her, but she is my almost step-sister and I will most likely be complaining about her because she is annoying as vacuum.
Allison: My almost step-mom. She is an amazing cook.
Jeffrey: My mom's boyfriend who is, well, he's Morgan.
Jordan: Morgan's daughter who is like a punk. She is awesome.
Jason: Jason is Lila's now ex-boyfriend.
Rachel: A really sweet girl who goes to camp with me. She is really obsessed with Glee. She had a really big crush on Jason at one point, and since then has backed off because he asked Lila out instead of her. I'll get to that big thing later.
Emily: One of my bestest friends in the universe. She is so sweet and we made a video, I just haven't uploaded it yet. Oops.
Josh: Belle's boyfriend and a major jackkangaroo. He spoiled a LOT of Doctor Who for me. But he's really funny and cool. AKA Comrade Marcotte, Marcotte, and a variety of other things.
Belle: A strange person who tries way too hard to be friends with me and Lila. Josh's girlfriend. I was once walking back to our bunk after free time one night, and I saw them making out outside of it. I was trying to sneak past without disturbing them or looking like I was creeping on them, but suave me ended up slipping on the wet grass and falling on my butt. Needless to say, they noticed me screaming as I fell. What? It was a very rainy summer. I think that was the 2nd time I had fallen that night.
Avi: Lila's brother who is older than all of us.
Tyler: A very musically talented guy who goes to camp with me.
Matt: An amazing artist who was part of Aardvarks and who probably has an Aardvark name, I just can't think of it.
Shane: A really funny and fast guy. He doesn't seem important now with his lack of bio, but he was a key part in- Lila's hand magically appeared over my mouth.
Ari: A really strong, really fast, and really tall guy who is really sweet and really good at Jungle Speed.

Nerdy Stuff:
Doctor Who: Just Google it. If I have any theories, I will devote whole videos to explain them. Yup, this is my life.
Sherlock: Another thing to just Google, but make sure that its the version on BBCA and starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
Aardvarks: A group of my friends at camp who meet every Saturday at 2 for Jungle Speed but 3 for our actual meeting at the Meercaz. In other words, we are a group of nerds who have organized times for meetings and play really nerdy games. We also have names for ourselves (by we, I mean some of us who did a graphic design class with Lila's brother. We were trying to make a brand and to do that, we basically came up with names for those of us in the class.) I am Stoopid Ardfark, Lila is Ninjaardvark, Jason is, I think, Darth Vark, Rachel is Gleekvark I think, Tyler is Aaaaaaarddddddvaaaarrrrkkkkk (to be sung operatically because he has an amazing voice), Avi is Momo or Mother Aardvark, Josh is Bohemian Aardvarc, and I can't remember anymore although I'm sure there's more.

Drama. This might not seem important, but I'm pretty sure it will be important later on.
I should probably start with the whole Rachel-Jason-Lila thing.

I still love all of you.

Except maybe Marcotte.

Okay, in a nutshell here is what happened during the 4th of July celebration at camp.

A big thing at camp is having a date to the fireworks and another big thing is relationships.

Neither of which I've had in the past 6 years I've gone to camp.

But this year something changed.

Instead of innocently watching the fireworks and recording them and making a lot of comments on them, I was involved in a big big thing.

Plus my brother, who is 11 had a date to the fireworks.

Okay, so Rachel liked Jason. A lot. Like she texted him everyday.

And Jason liked Lila a lot. And she liked him.

Jason wanted to ask Lila to the fireworks but was scared to because he valued Rachel as a friend.

Okay. Read carefully here. It gets complicated.

Avi, Elana (Jason's sister, I didn't give her a bio because this is like 1 of 2 times I am mentioning her, and I don't know if I spelled her name right), me, Shane, Josh, Matt, Ari, Belle, and Zev had this massive plan to get Lila and Jason to sit together during the fireworks. And we ended up not needing the plan because Jason asked her out literally two minutes before the fireworks. And Rachel decided that now I was her new best friend and basically used me as a rag to mop up her tears and a stuffed animal to listen to her. A lot of drama happened because of this and I actually got in trouble for it.

I don't want to write anymore about it.

It's kind of upsetting, especially since now, Lila and Jason have decided it wasn't right for them to be in a relationship.

For the record, I haven't heard from Rachel since before they broke up.



I'm not going to write anymore right now. I just wanna get my video posted, and to do that I have to finish this post.

UPDATE

Hey guys!

I just wanted to tell you, I'm uploading a video on my channel, Maia Reads.

It consists of some explanations and stuff, so I decided I would write some of it down, and some things that I thought of now.

1. I don't have an outro. If you have any ideas for one for me, let me know in the comments on either my videos or here.

2. I have decided that I will now be posting on a normal schedule. I will either be posting on Sundays around mid-afternoon specifically or Mondays, most likely around the evening because I don't get home until 5:30 on a good day. Let me know if you have a preference for which day I post on.

3. If you have any ideas for videos for me, comment on either my videos or here.

That's pretty much all for now.

Don't forget to subscribe to my channel, follow my blog, follow my tumblr, my twitter, +1 this, like my videos, blah blah blah, you get the picture.

Love,
Maia

An introduction filled with crazy.

Welcome, world!

This is most likely to be the words-version of my YouTube videos: Bad grammar translates to bad spelling, minutes of ranting translates to pages of ranting...

You get the picture.

Its a picture marred with craziness, but its a picture.

I really hope people read this...

Otherwise, me typing this would be awkward...

Yeah!

So if you do read this, make sure to comment and +1 it, and subscribe to my YouTube channel, Maia Reads, and follow me on twitter @maiareadstatido, and on tumblr, at maiaelianareadstatido.tumblr.com. I have to warn you though, its a big mishmash of Star Trek gifs, Zalfie shipping, other YouTubers, random stuff, Doctor Who, Sherlock, and a big number of other stuff.

It basically looks like the inside of my brain.

Well, the nerd track anyways.

Did I mention my brain functions on tracks?

No?

Well, I don't feel like explaining it right now.

Sucks.

I should shut up now, so I love you!
Love,
Maia.
