I'm so sorry. I can't believe us, as fans, didn't get you the Entertainer of the Year award. You mean the world to me. I got all of my friends to vote, all over twitter, facebook, and school, but still nothing. I even checked this thing called the "Pick 'Em" game. You were leading, with 72% of the vote. I decided to relax, and tried to make you less nervous. I didn't see Carrie coming at all.
I did a lot of things to cheer you on this weekend. I re-arranged my entire shelf devoted to you. I banned all other artists other than you from playing on my computer the entire weekend. I even let my hair go curly, wore cowboy boots, a white cotton skirt, and my I ♥ T-Swift shirt. I also had my LoveLoveLove bracelet on (like always) and a 13 on my hand. I even drew a litte heart on my foot, right where you used to draw it on when your first album came out.
I hope you know this one thing: your fans love you to PLUTO and back. We are always up defending you...because you help us get through the day. I am so so so so (repeat 100 times) sorry that we didn't get the award for you. Knowing that you walked out with no awards tonight breaks my heart. I still can't figure out what happened.
We love you Taylor, and I promise at the CMT's we will get you to the top. Please keep being awesome and the best person ever.
LoveLoveLove,
Claire

Spring Break = Over
Hey Bloggers!
So today's the last day of spring break. It was really really awesome. Let me tell you about it! Haha.
So I got out of school early on Thursday. Why? To go to a TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT!!!!!! Oh yeah :D Abby came with me :) We had super terrible no good seats, but it was fun to be there! We screamed our heads off for the full 3 hours. And I'm pretty sure we were the only ones in the arena that knew who Gloriana was. We should have gotten their autograph, now that I think about it. Hmmph. Anyway, after Gloriana was Kellie! Yay! She was awesome :) And I started singing to my water bottle. To her song, "I Wonder." Then Taylor came onstage...and it was the loudest thing I had EVER heard. I don't know how many thousands of people were there...but I think we almost made Tay cry. It was THAT loud. The concert was awesome..we sang along to all of the songs...when others didn't know them. Fail for them! :)
Friday was like a hangover day. Our throats hurt and we slept in late. Needless to say, I didn't go to school that day. Many many ice cream pops were consumed that day. Abby stayed with us until Sunday, when we met with her dad, and drove up to Oklahoma!
Yay! My second home :) I got there, and naturally went up to her room and cleaned it up. Fun habit of mine. The next day we went to Sissy's house! We were staying for 3 days. Jilly immediately bonded with me, it was so adorable! She likes me more than she likes Mama Cummings...oops! I would be sitting on the floor watching tv, she would grab her blankie and bottle, toddle over to me, and sit in my lap. It was super adorable! The first day we went to GiGi's house. It was really fun, and I met a little girl about 9 and she walked the dog as I helped Jilly walk around. The day after that we went to the children's museam. Abby and I went there when I was eight..but it's a lot smaller than I remember it to be. Nobody really had a great time, so we went home. Jilly had a nap, then we went to the park! Again, Jilly was attatched to me and I helped her over and over get to the top of the slide. Then we went to this really big slide, and I would sit at the top, slide Jilly down, and Abby would catch her. So many giggles :)
But, later that day, it was time to go back to Abby's. We drove to meet her mom, and her mom took us home. We played Sims until 4 in the morning. I'm sure we would have played longer...if we hadn't randomly looked up at the clock seeing that it was 4:15 in the morning. But the next day...Abby threw up. Then I threw up. She was sick all night, and I got better. Aye. That was annoying. From Thursday to Sunday we did absolutely nothing...and it was awesome. I think we stayed in the same clothes...eww. Haha :)
I love staying with Abby. We get to do so many freaking awesome things! Did I mention that we watched Prescious with Abby and Sissy? Umm..yeah. Not very appropriate. Let's just say that the f-bomb was dropped around 80 times. Abby counted.
Time for me to pack up...aww. I don't want to leave! Until next time...wait for another blog! Muahaha. (and I've officially had this blog for a year. And nobody except Abby commented)

Touchscreen? I'm in!
Hello!
I am literally handwriting this biog. Awesome, right? This is one of my dad's client's computers. It's a laptop, but you can flip over the screen and you can write on it. Way cool.
Today is Tay's birthday. She's 20 now! Crazy! Man I love her so so much. I have 7 straight pages in the back of my Texas History spiral devoted to her. Dude I can go on and on for forever and always about my love for her.. but this thing is kind of weird to write on.
Remember my last blog talking about the "December Sandwich"? Well this past week was the week that was bleh. Just so bleh. But this coming up week is the awesome week. Monday will be our last band rehearsal for our Tuesday concert. Tuesday we have a reading benchmark all morning... so no band. Tuesday afternoon I get to present my myth for language arts. Tuesday night is the big night. The night I've been waiting for since October... the band concert. I will be first chair again.. and I have a pretty dress. I love pretty dresses. Skip to Friday: the whole band is going to Six Flags to hang out and see the park in pretty Christmas stuff. I love dresses and Christmas stuff. And country music. Plus, on Saturday I might get-to see Abby again. Yesss.
Just listened to "Songs like This" by Carrie Underwood. Love "If it wasn't for guys like you there wouldn't be songs like this." Genious Carrie, pure genious.
Yes, I know this biog is crazy short, but keep in mind I am literally writing this with an electronic pen onto a screen. I so need one of these...
So that's how my week is supposed to go. Thanks for reading. Bye bye,blogbugs!
Sidenote-It took me 30 minutes to write this. Mostly because my handwriting is very cursive-like, so the computer has trouble taking it. Follow on twitter: same me in 140 character increments.:)

December..you rule.
Hi!
I can't believe it's December. Wow. I'm almost halfway to 8th grade! Holy cow.
So last time I blogged Abby was here. We went to her house for a couple of days, then I had to come back. It's always sad when we are seperated :(
It's the in-between week of school. We have 3 weeks of school in December, because the 4th week is break. The first week is all "Hey! How was your Thanksgiving break? Cool to be back!". The third week is all "Hey! Band concert! Six flags! No school next 2 weeks! Yay" This week, the second week, is "Ugh. I hate today. So boring. Homework. Bleh." All during the first week, I recorded the high points of my week. I made a list, origionally for me to Twitter about, but it grew so much now I have to blog about it.
Monday: My shirt smelled like Abby's house. It made me happy. Smelled like her room, and the nice Oklahoma scent.
Tuesday: My friend, Holli, wore a Taylor Swift t-shirt. I was insanely jealous, then talked myself into the fact that I'm such a fan of Tay that I don't need a shirt. It worked. Until I saw all the tour dates listed on the back of the shirt.
Wednesday: Mr. Gilley went insane bazerk screaming at the trumpets for messing up a part really badly. It was scary. Also, we played cards in Texas Histroy. Against Justin. We also had a sub in L/A, and during a hard quiz, I doodled. I handed in my quiz and the sub's like "Doodles?" and I just gave him this look. He was pretty quiet after that. Lastly, on Wednesday, Tay got nominated for 8 Grammys! That's my Tay :D
Thursday: Justin sang some Fergie songs during passing period before Texas History. Enough said.
I didn't write anything down for Friday..but basically my parents took me to Southlake Town Square after school. We went to this place where they cook the food in front of you, then we went to Fossil watches. I got a early Christmas present :D Then on Saturday my parents and I did the Jingle Bell Run 5k. Me no likey running.
Sunday was my total lazy day. Stayed in pj's all day and played around on Wii and computer. My wii fit age is 19. That's sad.
And today. Band was awesome, as always. Tay put up a new blog, which made me insanely happy. Before she did that, I was sad, and I just now figured out why: I forgot to say bye to Mr. Gilley after school. Yep. Later that night Tay commented on one of my posts on Facebook. I know there are a lot of posers out there, but I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt in saying that is her real Facebook. Did I mention Annie has no more Twitter? It's sad.
Well, it's almost 11 on a Monday night..time to go to bed. I've figured out that I only need exactly 8 hours of sleep. So I can go to bed at 11:15 pm and get up right at 7:15 in the morning. Cool, right?
Lastly: I'm a Taylorcyclopedia. Ask me any questions in the comments, and I'll answer them in my next post. Ready, set, ask!
Comments make me happy. Also, for the people who always reply to me on Twitter that I don't personally know: thank-you! It's so cool to have feedback about my tweets when I don't even know them.
Man I love December. Yes, the Taylor Swift and Sugarland Holiday cd's are playing right now. Night night!

Steve Earle..Ramble. Long ramble. Oh! Taco!
Hi!
So it's around 2:15 in the morning. Yeah. I said that I was going to blog...so I will. You're probably wondering about the blog title. I'm listening to the song Steve Earle by Sugarland. It's not on their albums, just a little song thingy they do at concerts. Yeah. Warning: there will be a LOT of rambling in this blog. I don't really have any fantastic creative ideas here. I'm forcing myself to blog for around 20 minutes. So here goes.
Abby's here! Yeah. So happy :D She's sitting next to me blogging on another laptop. While we both rock out to Sugarland. We put up my tree today too. The entire house is decked out in Christmas things. Yes. I am very aware that it's not Thanksgiving yet. But my mom is really into decorating..and I can't stop her.
Tay! She's in London right now (or Fundon :D) doing the last couple shows of 2009 for the Fearless Tour. And the American Music Awards (AMA's) were this past Sunday. Tay wasn't there...because she was in Fundon! A lot of people were saying that she was scared of Kanye. Good golly. Kanye wasn't even there! She didn't just run off to Fundon because she was scared of Kanye! She had this tour scheduled for more than 6 months! Kanye wasn't there, and didn't have a reason! I think HE was scared of the reaction he would get from the people there if he came. They would like lock him in the back of the arena. Go Tay! Have I mentioned that Caitlin (Tay's fiddle player) has replied to me 10 times on Twitter? Awesome :D Amos (Tay's base player) has replied 3 times, Abigail (Tay's BFF) 4 times, and I have other people I don't know reply to me :D It's awesome.
Lookie there! I have absolutely NOTHING interesting to blog about. Like my ramble? I'll have something later..maybe when I go to Oklahoma. I tend to write really good blogs there. I'm weird like that.
Random Story: While getting out the Advent Wreath (from the Christmas decorations), I ask her to hold the wreath while I get something. Her response? "Sure, I'll hold the Hannukah Wreath." Lol. It was pretty awesome. Byez!
.....and Monday may or may not have been somebody's birthday..not mine...but someone elses....I should go now. Bye! Again!

Little Did I Know....
Hi!
Welcome back to my blog! To those of you who comment, I love you :) It makes me very happy to see comments on my blog posts!
While looking through my old jounal I named "Randomie", I found a really cool page. It's from around December 16 or 15th of 2008. So last December. This was the time before my Taylor Swift love/obsession began. I had just downloaded the Fearless album, and I wrote little notes about it. This is straight from my journal, no re-writing at all.
Fearless- almost the best song ever (similar to Love Story)
Fifteen- cute story, Abigail rocks!
Love Story- I love the modern Romeo and Juliet
Hey Stephen-I sing the song, but change the name
White Horse- beautiful song
You Belong With Me- I totally understand it
Breathe- love the point of it, letting someone go
You're Not Sorry- knowing someone dosen't mean it
The Way I Loved You- love the "It's 2 am and I'm cursing your name"
Forever & Always- makes me hate Joe Jonas
The Best Day- nice song about mother/daughter
Change- uplifting, a song to cheer you on
See how awesome my 11-year-old-self was? Haha. I remember jotting those notes down after listening to the whole album. I love what I wrote on all of them, but I LOVE the comment after Forever & Always.
I know this isn't relevant that much...but I just wanted to say that Caitlin, Taylor Swift's fiddle player, has replied to me on Twitter 9 times. Awesome, right? Gotta love her and Tay.
Also, I can't wait for Saturday Night Live this Saturday! Yay!!! Tay is going to be hosting AND performing. Even the 30 second commercial for it had me laughing so hard-I know the real thing's going to be amazingly awesome. I. Love. Her. So. Much.
I've also come up with my siblings. Since I'm an only child, I've had to be creative with this. Abby's my little sister. Her older sister and brother are my half-sister and half-brother. Abigail (Tay's bff) is one of my two older sisters. Austin's my older brother, and Tay's my oldest sister. Confusing, right? haha
I also got to visit with Abby for a short time this past weekend..but I'll save that for another blog.
Keep in mind that comments make me very very happy. And if you want me to write about something, don't hesitate to ask me to! The number one reason I don't blog super often is because I can't think of anything to write about. Bottom line: Comments rule and requests rule more.

I feel like rambling....
Hi!
I looked at my other blog post..and it stinks. I feel kind of bad for leaving you with that little itty bitty post. The problem is..I really can't think of anything to write about! I know I said in the summer that when school started I'd have a lot to say..but I really don't. This is weird. So for just this post, I'm going to let my brain wander. I'm trying to fall asleep and decided to blog. So here goes my random-sleepy-blog thing. Good luck reading it.
I'm first going to ramble about volleyball. I like to play volleyball. If you asked me at the beginning of the year, I would say "OMG I LOOVVEEE VBALL!!!!111oneoneone". Now I would say "I like volleyball". Want to know why? Ok. Volleyball has always been interesting for me. Everyone had their place, and there was not a lot of running involved. Sure, you sometimes had to sprint to get a shanked ball, but other than that it was just moving quickly. We had tryouts the second day of school, and a few weeks later when they announced it, I was on the A team. The scrimige was fun, we didn't have a lot of pressure and we did pretty well. Then the running started. I kind of understand the conditioning thing...but running 6 minutes straight? Coach calls it "mental toughness" but I call it horrible. I used to LOVE practice, until I practiced as much as we do. Monday through Wednesday we have 3 hour practices, Thursdays and Fridays we have roughly 30 mins of practice each. So 4 hours in practices per week. Then on Thursdays, it's game day. From 5 until 8 we have to stay with our teams, even if we aren't playing. That's three more hours. And if we have a tournament, it's about 5 hours from start to finish. So on normal weeks, we have 7 hours of volleyball. And on tournament weeks, we have 12 hours of volleyball. Seriously. When you spend so much time doing something, you start to like it less..and less. And now I think I'm the bottom player on A team. Coach is always benching me and I always seem out-of-it during games. This past week I got to play for 8 minutes. That's after devoting 4 hours of my time to volleyball that week, not including the game. So Volleyball, I'm mad at you.
Did you know being seperated from your best friend is the worst feeling in the world? I recently watched the music video for Tay's Fifteen, and *spoiler alert*, Abi starts crying after her heart gets broken. Tay comes over and hugs her, and they both cry. I started crying after that, not only because Abi had just had her heart broken, but because that's exactly what I would do if my Abby got her heart broken. Then I realized that if that ever happens to her, goodness forbid it dosen't, but if it does I most likely won't be there to hug her. I would have to settle for a twitter-hug or a e-mail, or if we are lucky, a phone call. That is the thing that broke me, On a bit brighter note, that same Abi in the video replied to me on twitter. Twice. I told her about how that would be what I would do with my Abby, and she says how awesome it is to have a friend like that, and she thanked me. I then told her about how my Abby lives in Oklahoma, and how she might be able to relate with her being in college and Tay being on tour. She says, and I quote: "As long as they are in your heart, they're never far away". So true.
On that subject: Abby and I have been planning our next visit as soon as she was dropping me off in Texas in August. We agreed that we would do Halloween at her house. Before that, she did a very brief stop at my house (like 30 seconds, "Hi Abby! *hug* Oh. Bye then!"), and I couldn't wait for Halloween. Remember my rant on volleyball? Haha-how could you? It was monsterous! Anyway, my mom wants to sign me up for a select volleyball team. For me this is HUGE, because I've always wanted to plays select volleyball. But that was before I played volleyball this school season. And the only tryouts for the select volleyball? October 31st. Also known as Halloween. I REALLY want to go to Abby's...but my mom won't let me out of this volleyball! She dosen't want me not active after v-ball season, but I won't! The off-season workouts I've heard are a million times worse than regular volleyball! So I hope I win that war. It would be our first halloween together since we were 6! And that was when she lived here!
O_o That is LONG! I said I would ramble..and I definitly lived up to that. Wow. That's...wowz. If you even cared to read all of that, please do comment. It makes me happy. And if you have a twitter...follow me! Instead of this all at once, you get it in nice, 160 character incriments!
Goodnight, and once again, thanks for reading!

I looked at my other blog post..and it stinks. I feel kind of bad for leaving you with that little itty bitty post. The problem is..I really can't think of anything to write about! I know I said in the summer that when school started I'd have a lot to say..but I really don't. This is weird. So for just this post, I'm going to let my brain wander. I'm trying to fall asleep and decided to blog. So here goes my random-sleepy-blog thing. Good luck reading it.
I'm first going to ramble about volleyball. I like to play volleyball. If you asked me at the beginning of the year, I would say "OMG I LOOVVEEE VBALL!!!!111oneoneone". Now I would say "I like volleyball". Want to know why? Ok. Volleyball has always been interesting for me. Everyone had their place, and there was not a lot of running involved. Sure, you sometimes had to sprint to get a shanked ball, but other than that it was just moving quickly. We had tryouts the second day of school, and a few weeks later when they announced it, I was on the A team. The scrimige was fun, we didn't have a lot of pressure and we did pretty well. Then the running started. I kind of understand the conditioning thing...but running 6 minutes straight? Coach calls it "mental toughness" but I call it horrible. I used to LOVE practice, until I practiced as much as we do. Monday through Wednesday we have 3 hour practices, Thursdays and Fridays we have roughly 30 mins of practice each. So 4 hours in practices per week. Then on Thursdays, it's game day. From 5 until 8 we have to stay with our teams, even if we aren't playing. That's three more hours. And if we have a tournament, it's about 5 hours from start to finish. So on normal weeks, we have 7 hours of volleyball. And on tournament weeks, we have 12 hours of volleyball. Seriously. When you spend so much time doing something, you start to like it less..and less. And now I think I'm the bottom player on A team. Coach is always benching me and I always seem out-of-it during games. This past week I got to play for 8 minutes. That's after devoting 4 hours of my time to volleyball that week, not including the game. So Volleyball, I'm mad at you.
Did you know being seperated from your best friend is the worst feeling in the world? I recently watched the music video for Tay's Fifteen, and *spoiler alert*, Abi starts crying after her heart gets broken. Tay comes over and hugs her, and they both cry. I started crying after that, not only because Abi had just had her heart broken, but because that's exactly what I would do if my Abby got her heart broken. Then I realized that if that ever happens to her, goodness forbid it dosen't, but if it does I most likely won't be there to hug her. I would have to settle for a twitter-hug or a e-mail, or if we are lucky, a phone call. That is the thing that broke me, On a bit brighter note, that same Abi in the video replied to me on twitter. Twice. I told her about how that would be what I would do with my Abby, and she says how awesome it is to have a friend like that, and she thanked me. I then told her about how my Abby lives in Oklahoma, and how she might be able to relate with her being in college and Tay being on tour. She says, and I quote: "As long as they are in your heart, they're never far away". So true.
