Living with OJD: More questions !

Hey everyone ! I want to start this off by saying two things : one, you guys are seriously awesome and two, I'M SORRY that I haven't been able to respond to everyone's questions. Since a couple days ago when I posted my first Q&A I have gotten so many new questions! I really appreciate it, everyone. I'm getting a lot of related questions, so I decided that I'll be a little organized in this blog ( for once ). Keep going with the shoutouts, I'm trying to post as many as I can !

Q: How tall are you?
A: I'm about 5'6.

Q: Are you ticklish?
A: Not extremely, but a little.

Q: Are you afraid of anything?
A: The dark, large birds, horror movies, being alone ...

Q: Have you ever/ do you collect anything?
A: I used to collect those things inside bottle caps, like the little bluish-greenish thing. I think at one point I collected rocks =] And if you saw my room today you'd think that I collect notebooks full of story ideas, but I don't ; they just happen.

Q: Where do you get ideas for your books?
A: Everywhere! I find little objects all the time that make me think of something else and soon, I'm evolving a story out of it. I would have to say though, my biggest help is the newpaper. Take a look at the comics sometime if you're interested in writing ! You might get a little, silly idea and think about it so much that it turns into an elaborate, awesome idea !

Q: What kind of movies do you like to watch?
A: I love comedies, specifically romantic ones. I'm a big chick-flick girl. I'm not crazy about adventure movies or anything, and horror movies really scare me.

Q: Do you like to cook?
A: I love it ! I rarely do, but I mostly love to make desserts. I love to bake cupcakes, brownies, muffins, cakes .. !

Q: Have you ever been proposed to?
A: Haha, once ! Since I'm only fifteen, I did turn him down, but he was just some random guy that I had gone on two dates with a while back. He got kind of obsessed rather quickly.

Q: What's the sickest you've ever been?
A: Probably when I had mono. I mean, I didn't feel like I was gonna die or anything, but it was just a surreal feeling. I didn't want to do anything and I was just tired all the time. That was the worst part.

Q: What's your favorite movie?
A: I have a couple ! My all time favorite movie is Lion King, but the one movie I could watch over and over again would have to be either Elf or Juno. I love Superbad also. My favorite that's in the theaters now is Made of Honor. That was super !

Q: Do you blast the music in your car?
A: I always listen to music in the car ! I'm not sure that I blast it, but next year when I have my own car, I will be !

Q: What's your favorite season?
A: I'm a big fall/winter fan. A lot of my friends / family can't stand the winter here, but I don't mind it at all. I love an excuse to get all cozied up around a fireplace !

Q: Do you have any nicknames?
A: I sure do ! My mom and the rest of my family / close friends call me Mel, but some of my other friends have special, random nicknames for me. Mouie, Lanie, Rose, Melerie, Melcamee, etc.

Q: What electronics can you not live without?
A: Def. my cell phone, a camera, a computer, iPod ( even though mine's broken ! ), a straightener, and I can't think of anything else, but I'm sure there are more !

Okay you guys, it's 4 in the morning and I can't hold my eyes open anymore ! I love all your questions, they're just great. Thanks for all the awesome original questions, they're really cool to read. Please keep sending them, I only got about halfway down my list this time, so I'll for sure be posting another one of these soon ! I love to here about you guys too, so maybe you guys could send some Q&As to me ! That'd be so cool. Well, bye ! xoxo ! Tell your friends !

Living with OJD: Q&A with yours truly..

Okay, here's my best Q&A for now..
Q: How old are you?
A: I'm fifteen.

Q: How long have you been writing?
A: I've been writing ever since I learned how. I think my first story is from kindergarten and I haven't stopped since. But the first actual novel I sent to publishers took me about two years and I was thirteen when I finished it, and fourteen when I sent it.

Q: What's your favorite bands?
A: My favorite bands are Metro Station, Jonas Brothers, Panic at the Disco, Boys like Girls, Carolina Liar and Fall Out Boy. My favorite solo artists are Billy Joel, Miley Cyrus, Colbie Caillat, and Chris Daughtry.

Q: How tall are you?
A: I'm about 5'6, the last time I measured.

Q: What's your natural hair color? Have you ever died it?
A: I'm brunette, I have been since I was little except for a short period of time a few summers ago when I had some really gross blonde highlights.

Q: What's your favorite color?
A: Green. I don't know why though.

Q: What's your favorite song?
A: I have a couple, actually. It's a tie between That Green Gentleman by Panic, Seven Things by Miley Cyrus and Play My Music from Camp Rock by the Jonas Brothers. Also I love A Little Bit Longer by the Jonas Brothers, but it's unreleased.

Q: What's your birthday?
A: July 6th. It's the same as the president's =]

Q: Where do you shop?
A: I love Garage and American Eagle. I buy all my jeans at PacSun and Famous Footwear for most of my shoes. I buy jewelry kind of anywhere I see it.

Q: What colors are your room?
A: My walls are white and all my furniture is black. It's a really cool contrast. I think I'm gonna get someone in here to paint a mural of the Jonas Brothers on my wall. How awesome would that be?!!?

Q: Do you like to meet fans?
A: Absolutely! It's so flattering, I really appreciate it when people stop me for a picture. I hope someday I'll be like Jodi Piccoult or something, but we'll see.....

Q: When's your next book coming out?
A: This summer, I believe it'll be early August if things go as planned.

Q: What's the name of your book?
A: It's called On That Day and it's about a three kids who lose their father on September 11th. It's not totally non-fiction, since the family isn't real, but I know a lot of people who did lose their family members and I feel that this book reflects some of the things these families went through. My heart goes out to all of them.

Q: Are you christian?
A: I am, but not "hardcore." I don't go to church often, but I do go on holidays, which is wrong of me, I know.

Q: Are you single?
A: No, currently, I have a boyfriend. It's not the guy from summer camp, but he's a really awesome kid whom I love a lot.

Okay, that's all for now! Bye!

Living with OJD: Analyzing a bulletien..?

Heyy, I'm really bored so I figured I'd post something up here while I have the time. I can't promise this will be awesome, but I can promise it will be remotely interesting to read.
So, there's this bulletien on Myspace where you put your iPod on shuffle and answer the questions with the titles of the songs. I filled it out, and I think my answers kind of make sense, in a weird way. So, I'll put my questions and then my answers, then I'll put in ( ) those things what I thought my answers meant.
IF SOMEONE SAYS "YOU'RE HOT" you say? Smooth. (Haha, like "wow, you're smooth")
WHEN YOU GET DUMPED YOU SAY? Stay Beautiful. (I'm not gonna see them as often, and if I was dating them I obviously thought they were cute, so I'll be like "stay beautiful")
HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY? It's Only Life. (I'm not gonna let how I'm feeling today affect me.)
WHAT IS YOUR LIFE LONG GOAL? I Don't Wanna Be In Love. (So my goal in life is to never be in love.)
WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU? Beautiful In Los Angeles. (Aperently, they want me to go to Los Angeles, then I'll be beautiful?)
WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU? She's Makin' Me Lose It. (I'm just so crazy, I'm making my parents lose their minds.)
WHAT DO YOU OFTEN THINK ABOUT? Last Christmas. (I find this one hilarious. It's kind of self-explanitory.)
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON WHO LIKES YOU? Unfaithful? =] (Aperently the guy who likes me is unfaithful.)
WHAT DOES YOUR BEST FRIEND ALWAYS SAY TO YOU? Celebrate Me Home. (I have no idea.)
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP? You're Crashing, But You're No Wave. (Maybe I'll be a surfer?)
WHAT WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING? Feedback. (HAHAHA, I find that kind of an inapropriate song to play at a wedding..)
WHAT WILL BE PLAYED AT YOUR FUNERAL? Rockstar. (Sure?)
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST FEAR? She's No You. (Like, some guy saying that he likes someone else better.)
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET? Lyrical Lies. (No idea, really.)
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR HOUSE? How Far We've Come. (We have remodelled our house recently..)
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR CRUSH? The Great Escape. (Whenever I think of him, I can get away from normal life?)
WHAT DO THE GIRLS THINK OF YOU? The Carpal Tunnel of Love. (No idea.)
WHEN YOU DUMP SOMEONE THEY SAY? Control. (Like, don't flip out. Have control.)
WHAT’S YOUR LIFE MOTTO? Waiting for the Heartbreak. (I'm just waiting to get hurt again?)

So, I thought they were interesting. Fill out the same survey and send me your answers and what you think =]
Also, I posted some shoutouts in my profile, so check it out. I'll be constantly updating that.
Has anyone noticed that Blogger is not working very well? It keeps saying that publishing may fail or something. I don't know.
Thanks for all the questions, I'll be posting another Q&A blog soon. Thanks everyone! Bye!

Living with OJD: Lotsa stuff.

Hey everyone! OMJ, I'm so excited that I finally get a minute to post a new blog! I really have to apologize, I haven't been posting in so long! I think I'll make it up to you by posting like three unbelievably awesome blogs very soon. This will be one of them :]
Okay, so a couple things today that I've been thinking about, the first is memory. I have issues with my memory where I'll walk into a room and then just forget why I went in there. OR, I'll put something like a water bottle in the freezer to get it cold faster, then I'll go into the freezer for something else days later and it'll be totally frozen. I was just wondering if these kinds of things happen to everyone. I don't know about you, but I find it EXTREMELY annoying. Let me know =]
Next, I'd like to say congratulations to David Cook for winning American Idol!!! I'm really happy that he won, even though I do feel bad for Archy. His voice was excellent, and I really enjoyed hearing him, but I think that David C. will have a better chance at a career in the pop/rock genre. I can't wait for the tour. We have tickets! Yay!
And lastly, I would just like to take some time out to answer some reader questions...
What's your favorite thing to eat? Hmm, I love Luna Bars and also potato skins. French fries are my weakness!
If you were stuck on a desert island, who/what would you bring? I would bring my mom and probably my best friend Courtney, also a computer and my cell phone.
What do you look for in a boy? I love a guy who can play guitar, also with a great smile and gorgeous eyes. But mostly, I just want someone with a great personality. Someone who will make me laugh, but also someone who can carry an educated conversation.
What do you wanna be when you grow up? I would love to be a veternarian. Maybe an interior designer, or something with little kids. I'm pretty much undecided so far!
That's all I can do right now, you guys, but keep asking questions and emailing me, it's really awesome. I think I'm gonna put my shoutouts in my about me/profile, maybe that'll be easier. Thanks and bye!

Living with OJD: Updates! I'm not dead..

Okay HELLO everyone! I just wanna let you all know that I'm NOT dead, nothing has happened since I last wrote except for I've been super busy with rehearsals for the musical and stuff. I'm sorry you guys! The show will be over in two and a half weeks, so I'll be able to do more, I promise. Meanwhile, if I have some spare time, I'll be starting a new blog with Jonas Brothers fanfics! Wootwoot. I'll be starting it right now, so I'll comment this blog with the url. Thanks and bye!

Living with OJD: Well aren't I a little dickens..

Hey guys, I'm really sorry I haven't posted in a long time. Since like Tuesday! I had some pretty bad news on Wednesday, and so I've been pretty down this week. One of my best friends, David, his little brother got hit by a car Tuesday night. They kept him going at the hospital until about six in the morning, but he passed away. When David called me, I rushed right over to his house and spent the day with him and some of our other friends too. The wake is tomorrow afternoon, so I might not post anything tomorrow, and Sunday's Mother's Day so that's pretty much out of the question. I'll try on Monday. Sorry about shoutouts, they've pretty much gone nowhere recently, but I'm def. gonna get them up by the end of next week. My prayers and wishes go out to David and his family<3>

Living with OJD: Promised something good...

Well hello. It feels like I haven't had a legit topic in ages, so I'll try my hardest to make this one interesting. Right after this one I'll be posting another one with all the shoutouts. Alright, so I'm going to be talking more about my summer camp boyfriend in this one because I have so very interesting news! Before I get into all the details, he emailed me the other day and told me that he was coming to live in NJ where I am! I'm really excited to see him again, and he's going back to camp this summer so I will be too (hehe!) and I'm just overall really excited. So I thought I'd talk more about him. His name is Dereck, he's sixteen now, (he just turned 16 about two weeks ago) and he really likes soccer. He wears cargo shorts mostly in the summer and a black sweatshirt and on anyone else it would look stupid but on him it looks amazing. I don't mean to sound too obsessed, but he is gorgeous. I'll try to find a good picture from camp and put it up here. He was really nice to me when we did co-ed camp activities and he always complimented me and made me feel really good. We started talking more and more but we got in trouble a lot cause we were kind of ignoring everyone/thing else. So we we pretty much banded from siting with each other at funtions they had, which absolutely sucked. About a week after that, we talked after one of their things and we decided we would try to sneak out late at night and talk. It started with a couple of nights around midnight and then we started doing it every night until really early in the morning. We learned a lot about each other and he asked me out. It was kind of hard to pretend we didn't have anything going on when we were around other people, but we managed. We got closer and closer at night, and we only got caught once, surprisingly. Then, one night it seemed like we were perfectly happy with each other, it was getting closer to the end of the summer, and we made a really big decision. We thought and talked a lot about it before we did anything, but after a couple nights of discussing, we gave it up to each other. I'm not gonna say the real words, but you should know. If you don't, then you probably shouldn't be reading this. Haha, sorry. When we were finished, he told me that he loved me. I said it back, and it was totally the best night of my life ever. I was very happy with the way things turned out. It was horrible at the end of the summer, but I think that we're gonna get close again with him moving and all. I can't wait!!! Okay, well sorry this turned out a lot longer than I thought it would, but I'll see what you're responses are to it. Hey to all the new readers and thanks for spreading the word! Shoutouts are coming up! xoxo, bye!

Living with OJD: bored...

Elloello. So this'll be quick, just checking in to say hey to all my new readers and thanks for supporting me! I actually saw on someones myspace it said "Read Melanie's Blog: It's suuper awesome!" and that kind of made my day. So THANK YOU EVERYONE! Seriously, it means a lot. I'm really sorry about the whole shoutouts thing, I know I'm terribly behind and the comment I left on the other blog didn't really work cause I didn't space everything right! I'm sorry, but keep sending shoutouts, I WILL make a blog sometime this week with just a long list of shoutouts. Email your s/o's to me at melaniehasOJD@aim.com! And as some of you figured out, Melanie Has OJD is my screename, so if you want to talk to me, feel free! Okay, well I'll be posting a legit blog tomorrow! Bye! xoxo!

Living with OJD: Quick update..

"My names Mufasa, I'm the king of the land, I'll come smack you with the back of my hand!" - Kevin Jonas =]

Hello (: what's up? I don't know why I said what's up, because I'm not talking to anyone... Well I am, but not directly, I guess is my point. Never mind. So yeah. I wanted to just apologize to everyone who was hoping their shoutouts would be in my last blog, I just kind of walked away from my computer afterward and I forgot until this morning. So I'll just put them at the end of this blog. I'm really SORRY. But here's somebody I'm not sorry to. (Did you like that segway?! =]) Some radio show guy who interviewed Kevin over the phone! I don't know who it was, but if I ever meet him, I'm liable to smack him in his face. For Kevin's sake. Kevin, Joe and Nick all wear purity rings, meaning that they will stay sexually pure until marriage. As soon as this dude found out, he totally was like "you mean to tell me that you are twenty years old and there's no hooking up on the tour bus." I yelled at my computer screen. Seriously, this guy thought the world revovled around sex. WHICH IT DOESN'T. So I got pretty mad. But Kevin was very professional about it all. He was like "I'm just looking for the right girl, and when I find her.." and "It's really just a private decision me and my brothers made..." I left a comment like go Kevin! Because I think that was totally right for him to do, and he just scored like twenty points higher in my book. So yeah. I thought this was gonna be short..but.. Guess not. Oh and I totally went to Texas for a day, and it was amazing. But then we came back for a concert. Lmfao =] So okay, I gotta go. Busybusyday. I'll clue you in later. Bye!

Living with OJD: I'm living with it, do you have OJD too?

"Slow down sugar, I'm a diabetic." - Nick Jonas =]

Hello folks. So, a couple people have been asking me, what are the symptoms of OJD? If you don't know, OJD is Obsessive Jonas Disorder. Here are twenty - twenty five (I'm not sure how many I'll end up with..) signs you have OJD. Enjoy! Oh, and thanks for all the shoutouts, I'll either put them at the end of this blog or in a comment...

1. You know every song of theirs by heart (not just S.O.S., Year 3000, Hold On, etc.)

2. You love each of the Jonas Brothers the same.

3. You know their full names, nicknames and code names.

4. When you daydream, it's always about what would happen if you met JB or if you got married to one of them.

5. You own more than 5 Jonas Brothers posters and display them proudly on your wall.

6. You say "Awkward!" and other JB quotes at random times every day.

7. You buy the same clothing and accesories that the Jonas Brothers wear or have worn.

8. The most random objects remind you of them. (ie. Cornpops, water bottles, etc.)

9. You are always leaving comments on their myspace and youtube accounts.

10. You bug your local radio stations to play them, and if they don't, you keep calling!

11. You spend all your free time looking for new JB pics, info and videos.

12. If anyone says they don't like the Jonas Brothers, you don't talk to them for days or until they apologize.

13. Your entire family knows you are a fan and they all pretty much know everything about them because of you.

14. You have been to at least one concert (and rocked out to every second of it!).

15. You know what city the Jonas Brothers are in at all times, even when not on tour.

16. Your iPod has all JB songs and songs that remind you of them.

17. Your ringtone is a Jonas Brothers song.

18. If JB says they like a certain song, you like it too, even if it's not your style of music.

19. You celebrate their birthdays.

20. You know EVERYTHING about them.

21. You own all of their CDs (including Bonas Jonas!).

22. You watch their youtube videos over and over (and laugh every time!).

23. JB tickets are on the top of every Christmas/holiday/birthday list you've ever had.

So yes. Every single one of these apply to me. How many apply to you?

Bye! xox =]

Living with OJD: New blog stuff...

Happy May everyone!!! I'm super excited to start a new month. So yes, I promised new stuff, and here it is.....!

First of all, that picture up there is probably one of my favorite pictures ever. And yes. I'm sorry about the super long post last night, I didn't ever think it'd get that long. People were asking me to write stuff about camp and my mysterious summer boyfriend, so I hope you got an idea of it. I think I'll put more of that sometime soon. Second, I have a couple of shoutouts to do, so I think I'll get started. It's awesome how this is becoming so big! Thanks you guys =]
