I am STILL stoked about Bert McCracken responding to my video response!!! EEEP! As for another thing I wan't to thank everyone for making this blog so successful. I'm up to 615 views in just the last 4 or 5 days! I personally, think that is amazing! Maybe not... but as long as I'm satisfied right?! BTW below is a pic of him wearing MY sunglasses! Teeehee! <3
So today was a pretty damn good day! I hung out with my friend trish and vaughn and we did the usual run arounds to the parks and stuff. It was great, I talked to john quite a bit( <3 that man) and I am so stoked on starting my youtube channel. I just did the layout today, and have one video uploaded. I'm going to do some short ones everyday until i get about 30 subscribers. I am also going to start using my twitter more (get at me @CamilleRain) and just gonna make my hobby trying to become a internet sensation! Not for fame, just for a hobby really. Anyway, my boyfriend and I are going to start doing some cutesy vlogs and a shared blog as well (only without the cutesy part). I Would really like some more feedback from my readers, whether it's a facebook message, a tweet, or a comment below. GET AT ME WITH YO COMMENTS!
I AM SO FRIGGEN HAPPY RIGHT NOW! In fact so happy, I'm putting a VLOG into my BLOG because I dont wanna type it all out! So Check out the V in the B action below!
Yeah, I’m onto you, I’ve figured you out. I’ve been playing detective. I’m more computer smart than you think.
As for the contest, I think I’m just gonna lay back for awhile, I have too much other shit that need’s to be done to worry about a two month long contest. The trip to LA would be cool, but as long as I can get my hair dyed, I don’t really care.
Now, sadly enough, the paper route thing, isn’t gonna work, you need your own transportation, in which I don’t have. And I’m not willing to walk around this ghetto fab town at 3:30 in the morning to deliver paper. That’s a murder waiting to happen. So, im not sure what I’m going to do about my medical bills. I asked john what happens if I cant pay them and he told me collectors come and take away stuff I have bought that I don’t need. I don’t have anything… I don’t buy anything. So what could they possibly take? I hate money. Also for school, when I start, I am going to have to do the poor kid thing and ask the school to help me out with supplies. I can’t afford them. Money is such a stressful issue. I think the Native American's had the right idea about trading.
I don’t have too much to say today for the sake of being tired and restless at the same time. I feel so stressed out. Going to watch a movie, listen to the thunder and plan for my last few days ahead.
Yes, I LOVE this blog, I love writing it, I love finding subject’s for it, I love taking time on it, I like thinking about it. I LOVE IT! I am doing two posts a day Totally dig it. I wanted to update a few minor details, about what’s going on in my life.
I am getting a paper route, I’m actually staying up super late tonight so I can call them early tomorrow. It’s a hour and a half for 540 dollars a month. It’s good start out money and will hopefully teach me some money management. Right now the goal is to save 350 a month from it (to save for a nice place for John and I to have) and the rest for spending cash. I wonder if I can still get a food stamp card if I have a paper route…let me look it up. (4 minutes later) I can’t seem to find anything on it…but anyway, Hopefully with the paper route I can start ASAP and pay my 100 dollars in medical bills. Also, getting a route would require that I get up at about…3:45 because all papers have to be delivered by 5:30 and then I can come home and get ready for school.
Speaking of school, the more I think about it, the more excited I get. For example, I’m excited to finally be doing something. I have been meaning to lose weight for so long, I weigh a good 145-150 and I’m 5’8 I want to lose weight, I think 130 would be good for me. A nice healthy weight. And school would do that for sure, I lose weight REALLY easily. I also plan on taking a 0 hour and a 7th hour. I’m telling you, I mean business this time around.
I also figured out that I will more than likely be able to graduate within a year. Because I have half a junior year of credits from doing online school. So I can go in being a junior and then next semester be a Senior than do summer school….hmmm…actually, I didn’t think of the summer school thing before…
So yeah, I just figured it out, I go to high school, at the end of the first semester I will be a senior, then I take the next semester of school and when that’s over I’ll have one more semester left which I can probably do in the summer. And it will only be like two classes since I’m taking 0 hour’s and 7th hour’s the whole time. HELL YEAH! FUCK’N SMART!
I’m also REALLY excited to have access to a library! I LOVE reading! LOVE it! haha, man, im going to be a busy bee! I’m also really hoping to get to T.A. for Miss Perkins. I’m counting on it. But I’m going to take all the classes I need. So maybe not.
OH! And, I’m finally getting contact’s again! Thanks to my nana! So stoked, These glasses are cutting into my ears so deeply. It’s odd, their super tight but they fall off so easily!
I am also going to ask everyone, that is still reading to look at my post below, and watch the video that Is posted on it and read about the organization. Good amazing stuff right there. Anyway, I would like to say one more thing to my friend Emily,
CONGRATS ON GETTING ENGAGED!!!
I ENVY YOU COMPLETELY! IN FACT I ENVY YOU SO MUCH THAT THE TEXT TURNED GREEN!
Other than that, I just wanna say I love my man very, very much and I hope I see you soon <3
And to everyone else…be sure to check out the rest of the blog, tabs up top. And if you have any suggestions, questions or comments feel free to leave anything you wish.
This video is beautiful in all way's and it hit me very, very, very hard. It reminded me of the good ole days having crushes in class. It reminded me of the day's I have with my love, and it reminds me of the life that is to come. Love is an amazing thing.
Oh the last 24 hours, oh my what to say about the last 24 hours. Yesterday I hung out with my friend Justin and Matt, all the talk about Pasco High on the blog made me really miss those guys. We have been friends since about...6th grade. Matt is a lot closer to me than Justin, Matt was my best guy friend, he would call me everyday, when I got hurt he was always the first to ask "Who's ass do I need to kick?" Matt and I grew up together, we matured together. And we always had good times. For a long time Justin and I were moreacquaintance and then the years went by, I stopped getting calls from matt and hardly ever saw Justin. I changed schools, and then in high school, went back. It kinda sucked when I went back because things weren't the same, Justin and Matt are BEST friends. And they both liked me...very much. It made things very difficult. But even still times were fun. Justin and I got a lot closer and I do consider him a VERY very good friend. He's one of those guys that everyone knows and everyone trust's if you got him as a friend, through thick and thin, he's got your back.
So Justin and I hung out yesterday, we went to Howard Amon ( a park) and Matt eventually came along. And omg, when I saw matt I ran and hugged him. I think I might be the only female used to his hugs, he hugs HARD. But I was SO excited to see him! Sadly though, he's not my best friend matt anymore. He's someone new. I still see a little bit of the old matt in him. Not much though. Anyway, we went around the park and played in the water it was super fun, had good times. And then 9 o clock rolled around and we went to rays (A venue where local bands play) It was Rhema's last homewtown show for a while. And I've been a supporter since the beginning, but had never actually seen them play! It was fun I had a good time. The rest of the bands sucked. I am not one for hardcore/metalcore/whatevercore music. If I'm going to go to a concert, I wanna headbang to the point where my neck hurts for three days after. You just cant do that at hardcore shows! So instead I hung around talked to my buddy brett for a while, we caught up. It was nice. Justin had left by then to go to try to make things right with his ex gf. So while I waited I got hit on by fucking drunk hardcore kids, and while yes some were mildly attractive, they were all assholes and I couldnt stay in a conversation for more than five minutes. As soon as I told them I was taken, they had no interest in me. One guy actually came up to me and said:
Guy that looked like a rainbow sheet with hair: "Hey, do you have a boyfriend?"
Me: "Yeah...."
Guy that looked like a rainbow sheet with hair: "Oh...I was coming over here in hope that you would hit on me, but ya know, whatever" and left.
It's ok though, the rainbow sheet, had justin bieber hair. Not cool.
Then justin came back...a absolute mess, so we talked for a while and i gave him advice.
Today sucked. all day, not gonna go into detail, but john and I have issues, i just hope we can get past them. I'm sure we will. Issues take time, habits die out.
I plan on kicking it with justin and matt again soon, I love those guys and I know john will too. Anyway. I'm tired and hungry, so check out the Rhema review I did in the "Music to my ears" section and also check out "how to get free tickets to just about every show" in the how to section :)

Today's organization is called A.F.A.R. I'm going to copy and paste a portion of their about me because I honestly can't say how amazing this group is by myself "
About
A.F.A.R. is a coalition started by Bay Area drummer Chris Kontos, formerly of Machine Head, Testament and more recently a revival of the Bay Area crossover band, Attitude Adjustment.
The IRAQI band Acrassicauda, of Heavy Metal in Baghdad fame, had a long road to relocation to the U.S. with the assistance of VICE magazine. But they are now here and living on the East Coast and currently on their first full tour of the United States! They have set a precedence for many other musicians to escape threat in their respective countries.
Chris has been in contact with others from Iraq, Iran and South Africa about what they face as metal musicians in those respective countries."

So I am in immense pain and from the title of the blog I'm sure you can tell why :p So here is a awesome hilarious picture about...well. periods. And while your looking at the picture read about the other two things in the title, contest's and boyfriends. So as for contests, I would like to talk about the "Redken haircolor virgin" contest. I am doing GREAT in it and the competetion is fun. Now the boyfriend of the competetion...ahaha he just makes me LOL. He goes out of his way to cause drama. and all im going to say is come at me, i'll come at you twice as hard.But besides that, twitter is honestly my best bet in this competetion. I have so many people with thousands upon thousands of followers helping me! I havent slept much these past two days because I have been working so hard to get votes in this contest, and I will continue to be sleep deprived dammit! Now you may be asking yourself..." Why is she losing sleep over this?!" and the answer is simple. Because contests make me happy. I feel like im actually accomplishing something when I am in a contest, and I feel so happy and relieved when I win and its over! I'm addicted! I get a rush from getting votes! I like the hard work (and the excuse to be on the computer all day!) I am constantly on all forms of social networking sites, it's a bit ridiculous :p But, whatever it takes to win. Fair fight!
Now I have mentioned my man a few times on here, I think it's time to put a picture up of him and tell everyone a little bit about him :) He is 22 years of age, and he is a amazing. He goes to the art institute for audio engineering. He's almost done with school too! His favorite band is slayer, and he's a old school metal head :) Funny thing is though...he doesnt act like it. Like...when you think metal heads you think of guys that do drugs all the time, act like their way cooler than you, and everything needs to be bloody and gutsy. But no, he is not fake, he does not feed into the stereotype. And thats what I love about him. He is the silliest man on earth, completely random! And he LOVES kitties! He cheeses up at kitties the way grandmas cheese up at their newborn grandchilderen! Another cool fact about him is that he can play any instrument pretty much to some degree. He is best on guitar he has been playing for 9 years. He is VERY good. He is very sweet, very fun and just an incredible man. His friends idolize him, and he completes me. We have been together for a year and a half, and It's like my first time being in love. It just might be my first time being REALLY in love. yes we have had our downfalls. But...we always make it through. He is my everything, my other half and my best friend :)
So I gotta say, I LOVE this blog. Within the first day I've gotten 120 views! AMAZING! So if your reading this...thank you :) Oh! And be sure to check out the tab's at the top of the page! their *NEW* haha (I've always wanted to do that :p
"Escape Veloctiy: The speed at which a body must travel
to escape the gravitational pull of another body"
"Hard Love" by Ellen Wittlinger I can't tell you how many times I have read this book. It's amazing.
Now down to business. Not much has happened today besides cramps, I've been promoting the crap out of the contest to get more votes. I'm taking a break atm. My love is going to help me later on it :). I've been thinking about this whole "going back to high school" business, and it's going to suck. But only because of the small tedious details, like: Waking up early, going to bed early, lame teachers, test's, running the mile and other fitness classes. I'm actually REALLY fricken excited to go back and take Web Design and hopefully get to T.A. for Ms. Perkins! (Who got married and goes by another name now)
Ms. Perkins is the shit. I remember the first time I walked into her classroom I asked out "Excuse me where is the teacher" to this chick who had straight black hair, thick black eye liner, combat boots and "alternative" professional wear, she had four tattoos and had her lipped pierce, this chick then smiled, pointed at herself and said "I am the teacher" I knew we would get a long just fine.
I took her AP class and it intrigued me so much I was there 1st hour, 3rd hour, lunch and usually fifth hour as well. Some days I skipped just about every class and went and chilled with her. Of course I couldn't tell her that I was skipping my other classes. Not ever sure if she figured it out or not. :p Her classroom was amazing. Decked out in art, paper mach'e skulls and halloween lights and props! Then her "Personal space" was decked out in "The Nightmare Before Christmas" stickers, dolls, poster's EVERYTHING. It was awesome, she always had cool music going and was just...awesome. That's also where I met one of my best friends. Trish, she is to say the least...insane, she always knows how to have a good time and put a smile on my face, we have the BEST adventures. (thats trish above)
Sadly, this time around I'm not sure if I can take her class or not or if I will be able to TA. I certainly wont skip. I hopefully can chill in their during lunch. This time high school means business. I am going to try my hardest to stay out of the socialness of it. I honestly don't want friends. too distracting. I need to give my classes my all. It's sad. The only person who believes I can do it is my boyfriend. My mother, and my grandmother don't believe that I will actually do it. I am going to give them the biggest eff you in the face by doing better then I ever have. This time it will be easier, no home drama and support from my man.
I'm almost enrolled, all I have to do is go get my shots. Tdap and Varicella or some shit. Totalled that's 32 dollars. OH! I got my first bill yesterday! NO BUENO! I'm not really sure what to do. I don't have a job, and I have been trying for almost three years now TO get one. There not too exspensive, ones 22.00 and the other is either 81.00 or 16.00...i cant tell. I think I'm going to get a paper route for a month. pay em off. I cant believe thats what my life is coming down to. A paper route.

Today I'm doing "Invisible Children" a organization against Child warriors in Uganda, these childern get kidnapped and addicted to drugs and are trained to kill. Find out more info and what you can do to help. Watch the video below and for more info follow the link to the site. BTW I'm not much a fan of fall out boy, but this is a music video they did for the cause.
"Sold my life to bring the rain, maybe to wash me clean,
sold my soul to stop the pain, hoping you would set me free,
all your fear, all your pain, you know that you can lay it all on me,
you can lay it all on me."
Once you go into Google and copy and paste that, you will know who my favorite musicians are. This song, this one song, get's to me, listen to it if you can. It's amazing, it's inspiring and it's powerful. It's one of those songs you listen to and you get the shivers, your heart skips beats, and you sometimes even get a cold sweat. Strangest thing, I have no idea what it means, or how it relates to me. One day though, I shall figure it out. (Picture done by me)
I thought I would start my blog with that because the name of the blog is "To Bring The Rain" very inspired by the mysterious way's of the song. And if your still reading it's good to know i have captured someones attention with just my words for this long. And if you want to know what this blog is about, it's about... happiness, and how to get there when your in a rough spot that you just can't seem to get out of. Although, I'm not sure that's where I'll end up in this journey, but that's where I hope it will end, in happiness.
So let's start the introductions shall we? I'm Camille Rain, age 18, taken (and very much in love), Incredibly creative, Photoshop GENIUS! concert junkie (keep reading this blog and I'll inform you how to get free tickets to just about any concert), Contest ADDICT(in another post I'll show you what I've won and give you some tips!), I've got a lot going for me right?! I seem awesome! Oh! I should probably mention that the main point of this blog is because I'm jobless, licenseless, and GED/highschool diplomaless.
No one ever really had my back in my family, there wasn't much support. A lot of criticism and it was a lot harder then people think. But! I'm not here to bitch about my life, I'm here to make it better! I don't know how to be an adult, but dammit, I'm about to learn with the support of my best friends, and my amazing boyfriend.
Follow the blog and learn a lot, read my stories, my thoughts, and I promise you, somehow it'll help you in the long run.
CHECK THIS OUT!!!
Something else I'm going to do every time I update is inform you about a page, a organization, a band or something else like that.
Today's organization is the Sophie Lancaster Organization.
This girl died protecting her boyfriend in a fatal beating. Why? Because they were "goth". Today is the girl's 4 year anniversary of her death. Watch this tear jerking music video in her honor and follow the links to see how you can help stop abuse for something so silly as to how people look. Check it and tell me your feedback.
Totally dig it. I wanted to update a few minor details, about what’s going on in my life. 
So stoked, These glasses are cutting into my ears so deeply. It’s odd, their super tight but they fall off so easily!
