Great News!

Hey! I just finished setting up my secondary blog! The url is: outcrowdwriting.blogspot.com! Check it out! I'll be posting here for the most part, but whenever I finish a story, I'll post it there! Keep an eye out!
Also: So sorry for the delay! I've been SO BUSY! I'll post a longer piece tonight, but I am so sorry! I've been loaded down with tons of homework, PLUS I have to work on a 4-page Research Paper. I chose bullying as a topic, so it should be really fun to work on! :)

I'll tell more later! Bye!
Stay Strong,
Stay Beautiful!

What a NERD! Yep, that's ME!!

Hey guys! So I want to talk about something... I've been noticing that a TON of people are reading my blog, and I LOVE that! I mean...dang. For those of you who know what I've been through, you should that this is CRAZY big for me. For once, I have a way to share my voice. For once....people LISTEN to what I have to say. That is...amazing. I feel like here, on my blog, I can say what I'm too afraid to say anywhere else.

My friends who see me all the time, know I'm not exactly the most confident person. Even around the people I'm /best friends/ with, I get self-concious & shy. In my classes, I hardly ever talk. At church, youth-group, ANYWHERE...I'm practically silent. Mind you, my blog & all your love is helping, but you know what they say: old habits die hard. After all the bullying I went through, I kinda reached a point where I was afraid that people would make fun of me just for talking. I'm still not that great. If I'm talking to the teacher, I'm decent, but...having to talk in front of or to the people who made my life miserable? Forget it. I just...lock down.

I don't mean to make this post a Debby-Downer one, so...I'll lighten it up! Time for a story! First off, I want to say: YES. I am going to start the daily-outfit thing tomorrow!
Anyways, back to the story!
So, you know that one kid in class that is like, a JUMBO NERD? The one who always answers the questions, always is done with the work first, and it annoys everybody? Yea...that's me. Well, the main downside to it is that EVERYONE wants to copy my worksheet, once I'm done.
My mom gave me a GREAT idea: write the correct answers on a seperate sheet, then fill in all the wrong answers. If they copy it, they'll be completely wrong. Afterwords, I just erase the answers, and fill in the right ones!! Thanks, Mom!

Next bit of business: My contact page is up! Check it out! I would LOVE to hear from each & every one of you! Even if you don't wanna talk, you can follow me, and I'll follow you back! Thanks!

I hate to cut it short, but is past 10pm! Bedtime! I'll write a new post tomorrow, so stay in touch! I hope you all have a FABULOUS day tomorrow! Btw: I'm gonna start a new thing. At the end of each post, I'll put a quote of the day (QOTD)!!

Today's QOTD: I would rather die of passion than of boredom. –Vincent van Gogh
Have a lovely day, my friend!

Dear Classmates...

Hey Out-Crowders! So...I wanna get something off my chest...

To My Classmates Who Act Like I'm Not There:
Yes; I hear you talk about what I made on the test.
Yes; I /do/ talk. It's not my fault that you only listen when you need an answer for our class work.
Yes, I smile. I goof off, I act silly, I even sing.
But how would you know?
You don't bother me, but instead you act like I'm invisable, usually.
Sure, you'll talk to me occasionally, but only if you want to know something.
I never say no to anything you ask, because I don't want to make anyone upset.
As much as I like to pretend that I'm super-confident...I'm not. I'm actually reallly insecure. I worry about silly things, and I get nervous if I'm called on in class.
I'm not perfect...and neither are you.
So why don't we both agree...to stop playing pretend.

Sorry for getting kinda...deep. That's been on my mind. I know this isn't a very long post, but I'm super tired! Until tomorrow, lovelies!

Stay Strong, Stay Beautiful

Happy V-Day!!

Hello, once again! So since Valentines Day just passed, I wanted you all to know something. Whether you were 'single' or 'taken' this Valentines, you're loved!
I don't care if you have been reading my blog for months, or if you're a first-timer: I. Love. You. I care about all of you, even the people who don't usually read my blog.
I CARE about that test you're stressed about.
I CARE that you're being picked on.
I CARE that you need someone to talk to.

With that said, don't be afraid to come to me for help. I may not be an expert, but I can try. I'll do y very best to at least make you smile.
I love you guys.

Now: My best friend Amrin brought something to my attention. I have a fanbase! But...what do I call you? I suppose I should call you the Out-Crowders. ^_^ Well, for those of you who are new, welcome to the club! Here you won't be judged for how you look, who you love, the way you act, etc. I'll just love you. :)

So, I decided to make a list of 15 of my favorite songs. (In no order)
I'll try to only do 1 song from each artist. :)
1. Rockstar by Nickelback
2. Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol
3. Viva la Vida by Coldplay
4. Josey by Hey Monday
5. It Ends Tonight by All American Rejects
6. Demons by Imagine Dragons
7. Secrets by One Republic
8. Stand In The Rain by Superchick
9. Brighter Than The Sun by Colbie Caillat
10. Bully by Shinedown
11. According To You by Orianthi
12. I'm Not Dead by P!nk
13. Fighter by Christina Aguilera
14. King Of Anything by Sara Bareilles
15. I Love Rock N Roll by Joann Jett & The Blackhearts

These all come from my personal playlist, so...ta da! You now know some of my taste in music! Have a wonderful day, Out-Crowders!

Stay Strong, Stay Beautiful

Contact Me!

Hey guys! So I have an idea! I'm going to start a series on pinterest & instagram that shows what I wear to school! Every day, (starting Monday) I'll take a picture of what I'm wearing & post it! :) That way you guys can see my style, and give comments! I'm expaning my style everyday, and I want you guys to go on this journey beside me! Let me know what you think! Also: I'll be putting up a Contact Me page soon, that shows you how to send in comments & stuff. I'll keep you posted!

So, raise your hand if  you are SICK of all the snow! Yeah. Me too! Sure, the first time was AWESOME, but know...I would rather be at school with my friends. It may just be my ADHD, but I get bored really quickly. *shrug* Hopefully I'm not the only one.

At any rate, I hope you've enjoyed the time off! I have, for the most part. I'll write more later, so stay in touch!

Stay Beautiful, Stay Strong

A letter to my Readers :)

Dear Readers,

Hmm...that sounds a bit too formal...
Oh, well. I don't really have a "fandom name" for you guys. I suppose I could call you all the Out-crowders... hmm. I like that!
Alrighty then, well...

Dear Out-Crowders,
I just want you guys to know how much I love you all! I really love getting your feedback, and knowing that MY blog could help put a smile on your face! I know there are times when I don't post as much as I want to, but you guys still stick around!
I'm actually STILL in shock over how many people have read my blog, & how ,any people check it daily! Thank you all, so much!! :)

As a special treat, I want you guys to think of something you want me to do. It could be anything from a poem, a short story, another TBH,... ANYTHING you guys want! Just let me know. :)
Remember: you guys can email me at abbie.punkprincess@gmail.com !

That's all for now!

Stay Beautiful, Stay Strong!

Snow Days!!

Hello everyone! So!~~ My boyfriend recently turned 15! He's two months older than me, so for a little while he's allowed to brag about it. :) Also: I've gotten into writing again! I know, I know. I write blogs a lot, but now I'm getting back into writimg stories! I'm currently working on a few different ones. If I write any short stories, I might post them here. :)

I've decided that EVERY DAY I'm goimg to try to at least post SOMETHING. It could be just a poem or two, or it could be a really long post. It kinda deps on how much homework I have!

Question Time!! I want to answer a few questions that I've gotten, & I also want to encourage you guys to ask me questions!

Q: What inspired you to start your blog?
A: Good question! As some of you know, I went through a really bad amount of bullying. I figured, if I show people that I overcame it, then it will give them hope. I want people to see that even though I was picked on, I still wear what I want, act like myself, & live my life the way I want.

I haven't really gotten many questions yet! Please, send them in! Whether it's on facebook, here, or my email, I'll reply! Let that feedback roll in! After all, I KNOW you guys read my blog, and you seem to like it!

Story Time~~
So, if you live in the South, you know we got a good bit of snow last week! I built a little snowman, had snowball fights, and I fell on my butt a few times! :) Let me just say, only in the South can we see 4 seasons in 2 days!

I don't really have time to write more! I only wrote this because I woke up about an hour ago, and I felt like writing! I'm going back to sleep, but I'll post more later!

Stay Beautiful, Stay Strong
With all my love,
Abigail Gurley ^_^
