Excitement

Still Day 81

I just wanted to take a quick moment out of my day to mention how excited I am. After seeing the interview on CBS news I just feel empowered and proud to be who I am. As I mentioned in the interview I have no idea who I am and I am struggling very hard to find that out. However, after this all began I can't stop thinking that this is what I am supposed to be doing with my life. I am on a mission, and I will not stop until I make a difference in the world. :) Everyone, just remember, I can't do it alone. I need your help! Please help me spread the word about this blog and my mission. It is because of all of you that things are happening.

Oh almost forgot to mention this...I will be sending in my footage to MTV's Bullied this coming week. I spoke to them recently, and it seems like something I really want to do. If you can't remember MTV bullied is a documentary that they are doing that shows that bullying takes place all over the world. I will know in about a month if I get selected to be a part of it! :)

Quick update on CBS and MTV

Day 79
Hey guys!
I just wanted to take a brief moment to update you on what is coming up. I would love to do a very detailed entry, but it is midterm week at school and things are VERY hectic right now. So tomorrow CBS News Atlanta will be coming over and they will be interviewing me on my bullied past. YAY! Even though I would LOVE for them to talk some about my blog, they told me they are more interested in what happened to me and my story. No biggie. I am happy to share my story.

I spoke to MTV yesterday and they said that the deadline for everyone is Friday and they will know who they will choose in about a week and a half, so now I just have to wait. Yay for more waiting.

So that is my update for now...
Will update again soon!

<3 always,

The Biggest News Thus Far

Day 75

So here I am, just thinking about the upcoming weekend and how I am hoping it will be some fun when I get a text message. Now, of course just like several other people, I get a couple text messages every day, but this text message was no ordinary text message. This text message...was from CBS NEWS ATLANTA! As you all know, I have been in contact with CBS recently about the possibility that they will do a story on me and air it on their news station. Well, after long talks with the producers, they have decided to put me on! We have decided to film on Wednesday morning, but I don't know many details yet. She told me they will call on Monday with everything I need to know. This is such a huge break. I can share my story and help so many people! I am just so happy right now.

This came at the perfect time because I have fallen in another bullying story. I have had a really hard time finding myself. I have no idea who I am, what my favorite food, or color, or anything is. I constantly change my appearance and my interests just to fit in with the people around me. So, the day before yesterday I decided to change the color of my hair from platinum blonde, to burgundy because people kept making fun of me and were calling me Malfoy. (That is the guy from Harry Potter) In the beginning people said it as a joke, then eventually it just started sounding mean, and I didn't want to get compared to a boy too, so I decided to color it. Problem with putting burgundy hair color on top of platinum blonde hair..it turns greyish,burgundy,purple. Long story short...it didn't look good. I went to work the next day with a wig in my bag because I wasn't sure it looked natural enough for me to not wear a wig. After a little while, my boss told me it would be best for me to wear the wig, so I did.

At the end of the shift, I decided to take my wig off because I was tired and my head itched. I grabbed my belongings and left for the day. While at school, I received a phone call from a co-worker explaining to me that when I left, more employees saw my hair and spent several hours laughing about it and making fun of me behind my back. I was devastated. I didn't see why my physical appearance had to be a laughing matter or any of their business. I felt like I was right back in high school. My day was ruined. I had a horrible day at school, and I just wanted to go home. Not to mention...I cried.

So after school, I got home and right away colored my hair purple because it was the only thing I could think of to do to make it look good without applying any bleach to my already completely dried out hair. When I came to work today, I already had my wig on. I didn't talk to the people that said those hurtful things about me because I honestly just emotionally couldn't handle pretending that I wasn't hurt. At some point of the night, someone saw a small piece of my hair sticking out of my wig and said that I need to stop coloring my hair and blah blah blah. Once again there they went talking badly about me. I just wanted it to stop. I left work today with my wig on. I couldn't stand the possibility of what would happen if they all saw how bright purple my hair is.

So that is what has been happening. Great news on top of a crappy week. I decided to post this picture (again) from last year. This is exactly what my hair looks like now, but it is a little bit shorter now. Like I said, it is different and it is very purple.

Hope you like it!

Wow.

Day 73

So not much AMAZING news has happened lately, but still some things have happened that I feel are GREAT accomplishments.I have had so many people come reach out lately. Most find me on Facebook. So as they are reaching out, they are telling me that they love how open I am being and then the best thing happens...they tell me their stories! I am so happy that people feel like they know me once they have read my blog. Since they feel like they know me, they feel like they can trust me, and they open up. It is just such a great accomplishment knowing that I am actually helping people!

In other news...I had a pastor come into my place of work yesterday. We began talking and I told him all about my blog and the things I have been doing. I of course mentioned my lack in belief of G-d as well. After about 45 minutes talking, he told me, "You are going places and I care for you more than I care for anyone else. I care more for you than I care for some of the people in my church." --Not an exact quote...can't remember word for word. :) Anyways, It was just great to get support from so many people.

That's it for today! Please subscribe to my blog and my twitter @Dance2616

Part 2

Still Day 64
Hey guys!
I am so sorry that I didn't have this entry up earlier like I promised. I was going to update in between classes, but someone had taken my back pack by accident, so I had to wait until he came back with it, and then I was out of time. So here I am sitting in class updating my blog. Kinda feel bad for the professor since I am basically on this blog every time I come to class.

So here is my secret. Recently I found out some information about a new documentary that MTV is doing. It is called CUT. It is about students that are in high school or college getting ready to under go plastic surgery. The reason that this is so big for me is because if I get chosen to do this, a camera crew will follow me around for a little while and it will give me the time I need to mention everything from bullies, my acting career, and my blog.

So when I first mentioned that I had a secret, the secret was that I applied for this documentary and I got an email back sending me a questionnaire. (a very long one!) In this questionnaire I answered questions like, tell me about yourself, why do you want this surgery, what message can you send to other people that want to do this too. Anyways, I was pretty excited because I knew I was in the running for it.

Then, earlier today, MTV called me telling me that the producer of the show wanted to call me for an interview. I decided to set it up for 2:00pm today. When she called she asked many questions about the questionnaire and then we just talked for a little bit about the surgery. Being in my situation, I was estatic that it had gone so far as to get a phone call from the producer. Anyways, at the end of the conversation she said that she was really glad we talked and they will know who they choose in about 2 weeks. That is pretty understandable since they have a lot of people to talk to about it.

So here I am, once again doing the waiting game. I thought I was getting a definite answer today, but turns out I won't. I was feeling REALLY confident before the interview, but now...not so much. I'm thinking it's just because I'm really wanting this. So, that is my secret. What do you guys think??

This...is HUGE (part 1)

Day 64

So in my last entry, I had mentioned that I have a secret. It turns out, that secret may very well be HUGE news. Not only is this possible huge news, it might accomplish my mission! I don't want to give out to many details just yet. I am expecting a very important phone call around 2:00pm telling me more about it. I am expecing to have an entry up hopefully before 4:00pm telling all about this. Details and EVERYTHING! I know some of my followers have been begging me for the news, so today, it will be up!

In other news, I spoke to two people in the last couple days that were down and really needed my help. I really think I did help them, and I am so glad that this blog is beginning to do what I intended on it doing.

I went to a festival over the weekend. I met some people and had a really great time. I met these two girls and I cannot explain how grateful I am that I met them. I have a REALLY hard time making friends just because I do still sometimes have issues with being insecure. These girls are just absolutely amazing. Very artistic, and very real. One of them I almost feel is like my twin. Not my physical appearance twin, but she and I have gone through so much of the same thing and have so many similar interests that I feel like we are one in the same. I hope to see these girls again soon! One lives in Tennessee, but hopefully that won't change anything. That's not too far away right!? Anyways, regardless I would love to thank these girls for showing me a great time and helping me through my insecurities. We only hung out for one day, but it feels like I've known you both for years. <3 u guys!!

See you guys later today for the big announcement!!
<3 Always,
Angel
