Hello, everyone! Antonia here, and I had a kura ya maoni on which juu ten orodha my mashabiki would like to see most. This was the winner, so I'm doing it. Don't worry. I'll do the other choices at some point. Before I begin, I will say that I upendo being a rock muziki fan, but it's not easy to be one sometimes. Let's get started, shall we?

1. People assume you're depressed, especially if wewe listen to grunge au heavy metal.
I don't listen to heavy metal that much, but I do listen to grunge quite a bit. One of my schoolmates actually blamed my self-harm on the fact that I listen to grunge. I told her that I did it to cope with being bullied and that muziki had nothing to do with it.

2. People mistake wewe as a Satanist.
I am agnostic, got it?! I believe in God, but I don't really follow a religion, okay? I don't mean to sound hateful, but I cannot tell wewe how many times people thought I worshiped Satan.

3. People expect wewe to wear the band's/artist's t-shirts au own their merchandise. Otherwise, you're not a "true fan".
There was once when I alisema to a schoolmate that I liked Motorhead. He said, "Yeah, right. wewe don't even own any of their merchandise. wewe can't be a true fan." I said, "I haven't found any merchandise close to where I live." He said, "I bet wewe can't even name one song." I said, "Yes I can. 'Ace of Spades'! There wewe go!"

4. Putting up with people telling wewe that your inayopendelewa bands shouldn't be a thing anymore.
I was once told, "It's not 1980. Those bands shouldn't be a thing anymore." I told the bullies, "First of all, I don't give a shit what mwaka it is. Second, most of these bands formed BEFORE 1980. Finally, if wewe think you're going to get me to stop listening to them, wewe can kiss my ass!"

5. People flip out if wewe listen to anything other than rock.
There was once when I listened to a CD kwa the Oak Ridge Boys, and I thought my grandfather was going to have a stroke. I told him, "Just because I listen to rock muziki doesn't mean I hate all other genres."

6. People will often try to convert wewe to a genre of muziki wewe hate.
I'd rather not talk about the time someone tried to convert me to Gospel muziki here. If wewe want to know about it, send me a personal message.

7. You're surrounded kwa people who listen to terrible pop music.
There was once when there were some girls listening to pop muziki during study hall. I handed one of my textbooks to RocknRollSoul60 (Paul) and told him, "Please hit me in the head as hard as wewe can." Of course, he refused, so I hit myself instead. It gave me a good excuse to leave the room. Don't worry. I didn't hurt myself too badly that time, but I admit that I shouldn't have done that.

8. Sometimes it's hard to find merchandise for your inayopendelewa bands/artists.
It's especially hard to find anything Beatles.

9. wewe get a tune stuck in your head, and wewe can't remember what song it's from au the lyrics.
There was once when I started humming a tune, and I alisema to myself, "What is that song?" I then asked my uncle, because he knows the obscure songs from the classic rock era. He told me that it was "Bell Bottom Blues".

10. I think this one is true for guitar, gitaa players. wewe try to master a song that sounds simple when you're listening to it, but in reality, it's hard to play.
This is true for Beatles songs. They sound simple, but they are really hard to play. The hardest one for me was "Paperback Writer". It took me four years to learn it. FOUR YEARS!

Today was Thanksgiving, (for the United States). Thanksgiving has always been my inayopendelewa holiday. It is a time to get together with the family without the pressure of buying gifts for them, and I like food. I helped a bit with preparing the dinner, but I mostly set the table. Grandma didn't want me to burn myself. It's happened in the past. Anyway, John managed to find his way. Whenever we would sit at the table, we would all say what we are thankful for before eating the food. We allowed John to go first, since he was new to the family. He said, "I'm thankful for my band...

I've been having quite a weekend so far. Yesterday, after school, my aunt and uncle noticed that I was still feeling a little down. They decided to take me to a hiking trail, since I enjoy nature. Everything was going well, but suddenly, I got separated from them kwa mistake. I tried to go back the way I came, but there were so many twists and turns, and I became increasingly confused. Pretty soon, I came across a log cabin. I alisema to myself, "I wonder if anyone lives there. Maybe I can get some help." I knocked on the door, but the only answer was a barking dog. I decided to...

Today at school, I had my worst siku yet. I was on my way to my last class, and I overheard Kimberly talking to one of her friends. Her friend said, "I don't understand why you're Marafiki with Grace. She's just, I don't know, so dorky." I didn't like that, but I kept quiet to see where it was going. Kimberly said, "I'm not Marafiki with Grace, Isabella!" My eyes widened. She wasn't Marafiki with me? Was she denying our friendship out of fear? Isabella said, "I've seen wewe with her, doing the friendly banter. wewe two do your homework together." Kimberly said, "Okay, here's the thing....

Ever since I saved Freddy's life, my schoolmates have looked at me differently. They actually respect me now. I like that I've gained respect, but I never wanted to be popular. I enjoy being around people, but I hate being the center of attention. It's awful. The maarufu girls even look my way now. We don't have a lot in common, but one of them seems nice enough. Her name is Kimberly. However, there might be a problem with her and my other friends, particularly Bridget. Bridget alisema to me today, "Grace, it's good that you're nice and friendly to everyone, but I'd watch my back...

Today at school, I had an experience I will never forget. I had just finished my lunch, and I went to throw something away. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting, "Somebody, help! My friend is choking!" I rushed to the scene. One of the kids looked up at me desperately and said, "I don't know what to do." I said, "But I do!" As I alisema that, I gave his friend a sharp blow between the shoulders. The boy was able to cough it up forcefully. Once he could talk again, he said, "Thank you." I said, "You're welcome. Are wewe okay?" He said, "Yeah." Later, I was getting ready to head home....

I am feeling much better today. I don't feel great, but I feel much better than I did a few days ago. I was able to go to school today. Michael, Sabrina, and Bridget helped me get caught up in my classes. I'm lucky to have such good friends. Of course, I did feel a bit tired after finishing my homework. I took a nap for a while. When I woke up, it was almost 6:00 pm. I didn't realize I had slept that long. When chajio, chakula cha jioni time came, I ate really well. I didn't feel like eating much for the past couple of days. My appetite has returned. I think I will go to kitanda early tonight. I'm feeling pretty tired right now. I'm not completely better, but I'm close to it.

I missed school today, because I am sick. I picked up an upper respiratory infection as a result of my allergies to ragweed. It's the only thing I'm allergic to. Of course, of all things to be allergic to, I had to be allergic to something that's hard to avoid. I mean, ragweed pollen blooms in late August and spreads around from early September to the middle of November. How does one avoid that? Anyway, I started feeling bad yesterday, and last night, my aunt took me to the emergency room, because I had a terrible cough and sounded extremely hoarse. She said, "You could've...

Today was the first siku of school. It was not a good day, au maybe it was, depending on how one looks at it. I got beat up, but I am glad that I took a beating for someone else. What happened was this. I saw some girls bullying the new girl. I walked up to the bullies and said, "Stop it! Why are wewe being so mean? What did this girl ever do to you?" The ring leader said, "Stay out of this, Grace! This doesn't concern you!" I said, "On the contrary, I think it does." Another one of the girls said, "She says she has Autism au some kind of enlightenment crap." I said, "That's no...

I saw The Devil Wants Peace in tamasha tonight. It was just as amazing as I imagined. My inayopendelewa moment in the tamasha was when they played "Hatred Will Get wewe Nowhere." I really like what John alisema about the song. He said, "This song is called 'Hatred Will Get wewe Nowhere.' I wrote this song along with Allen, Peter, and Stan. After we recorded the song, Peter alisema to me, 'It's a shame that we kill off our Heroes and allow the evils of the world to enter.' I said, 'I agree with you, Peter.' He said, 'I'm no bloody genius. I never made anything above a B, but I think the world's...

I am currently in Chicago. I'm going to see The Devil Wants Peace in tamasha tomorrow. They're already in Chicago as well. This is how I know. After we got our things unpacked, my aunt, uncle, and I decided to go see what Chicago had to offer. We stopped to eat at a local restaurant. I looked over and noticed the members of The Devil Wants Peace were there. I said, "Oh, my gosh! It's The Devil Wants Peace!" My aunt suggested going over to talk to them. I said, "I don't want to bother them while they're eating." My uncle walked up to them and said, "My niece is a huge fan. She knows...

Summer Vacation has been great so far. While I've been enjoying school zaidi since I've gained a couple of friends, it's nice to have a break from it. I also received some exciting news. On July 9, I am going to be in Chicago to see The Devil Wants Peace in concert! I was so excited when my uncle told me he was able to afford the tickets. I later told my friend, Michael, "You should have seen me when my uncle told me the good news. I was jumping up and down, crying tears of joy." Normally, I'm not that excitable, but The Devil Wants Peace is one of my inayopendelewa bands. Since I was six, I dreamed of seeing them live, and now, I can stop dreaming. This dream is becoming a reality. I don't know if I'll be lucky enough to meet them, but the fact that I'm lucky enough to see them is great.

I ran the mile in gym class today. I ran it quickly, because I wanted to get it over with. Unfortunately, I ran it zaidi quickly than I should have. I felt awful afterwards. I was walking to my inayofuata class. Michael said, "Grace, wewe don't look so good. Are wewe okay?" I said, "No, not really." He asked what was wrong. I said, "I feel a little dizzy." The inayofuata thing I knew, I woke up in the nurse's office with Michael standing inayofuata to me, looking anxious. I said, "Oh, my God. What happened?" He said, "You fainted." I said, "I did?" The nurse said, "You did." I said, "Oh, God. How long...

Friday the 13th is associated with bad luck, but I think today, I had good luck. I have made Marafiki with two kids in band, Michael, who plays the tuba, and Sabrina, who plays the flute. The three of us seem to get along really well. They're mashabiki of the Beatles and The Devil Wants Peace, just like me. They're so nice, too. They were also impressed with the fact I can play multiple instruments: saxophone, guitar, bass, and piano. When it was time to go home, the saw me and said, "See wewe Monday, Grace!" I said, "Yeah, if not before then." They laughed. I'm glad that my luck is changing....

My birthday is normally a good day, but today was a bad birthday. It started when I was going downstairs for breakfast. Halfway down, I realized I left my glasses in my bedroom. I attempted to turn around and go back, but I Lost my footing and tumbled backwards down the stairs. I didn't get hurt, but it scared the crap out of me. It scared my aunt, too. She asked if I was okay, and when I calmed down, I alisema that I was fine. If that wasn't bad enough, it was even worse at school. While I was doing my classwork, one of my classmates threw a paper airplane at me. It contained a nasty...

When Joanna woke up the inayofuata morning, she felt desperate for food. She stripped the bark of a nearby mti and found some insects. They were disgusting, but since it had been five days since she had eaten, Joanna didn't care. She drank from the stream to wash the taste of insects out of her mouth. She then pressed on to find her way back home. She found the steep kilima where she had fallen. She struggled to climb the hill, but she managed to make it to the top. When she made it to the top, she stopped to rest. In her sleep, she had a dream about the afterlife. It was beautiful, unlike anything...

It was summer, but Joanna couldn't enjoy it. Because of her taste in muziki and her beliefs, she faced criticism. Not only was she being knocked down kwa school mates and neighbors, she was also facing criticism from her own family, save for her parents. One day, she alisema to herself, "I can't take it anymore. I have to run away. I doubt anyone will miss me when I'm gone." Without a sekunde thought, she ran into the forest behind her house. For the first three days, Joanna was happy to be on her own, away from all the criticism and insults. However, on the fourth day, she began to feel a bit lonely....

One day, Joanna and Millie were hanging out at Joanna's house. Joanna's grandparents made a surprise visit. They acted friendly upon meeting Millie, but they gave Joanna a stern look when they saw the letters, "L, G, B, and T" on Millie's shirt. Oh, no. This couldn't be good. After Millie left, Joanna's grandparents simultaneously asked, "Joanna, may we see wewe in the kitchen?" Joanna followed them in the kitchen. That never meant anything good. Her grandfather said, "Your friend's a queer, isn't she?" Joanna said, "They don't call them queer anymore, Grandpa. Besides, Millie doesn't like to...

One day, Joanna was walking through the neighborhood. It was a cold January day, and as she was walking, she encountered some of her schoolmates. They started throwing bila mpangilio objects at her. She ran as fast as she could, and as she ran, she looked behind her. Unfortunately, there was a rock in front of her, and she tripped over it. She tumbled down the hill, into the frozen pond. The ice was very thin and broke beneath her weight. She could barely swim, and the ice was too thin for gripping. She cried for help, hoping someone would hear her. Just when she was about to give up, she heard Paul's...

One day, Paul and Joanna were hanging out with their friends, Ian and Millie. Some bullies started making fun of Millie. She was often bullied because she was homosexual. They said, "Go get hormone replacement therapy, wewe fucking queer!" She began to cry. Ian said, "She doesn't need hormone replacement therapy! She's fine the way she is!" Joanna said, "That's exactly right!" Paul then said, "But wewe all need attitude adjustment therapy!" The bullies were stunned. Joanna said, "Look, if you're opposed to homosexuals, that's fine, but don't curse at her and tell her to get hormone replacement...

As the months passed, Joanna and Paul became quite close. One day, Paul alisema to Joanna, "I think it's time I tell wewe something that I haven't told to, well, anyone." She said, "I do, too. I'll let wewe go first." He said, "You remember that I was adopted kwa an American family last year, right?" She said, "Of course." He said, "Well, I have yet to tell anyone what happened to my parents." She asked, "What happened?" He said, "My father was killed in a car crash when I was young, so I never spent much time with him. I did spend a lot of time with my mother, especially since I was an only child....
