Apple Lollipop's Secret Life

A Day in the Life of Amelia

    A day in my life has no thrills or excitement but It has a lot of perks for my double life as an international teen music sensation. Apple Lollipop is the child-like face of my music career, my real name is Amelia Grace Lee, I just go by Amy. I am a junior editor of a on-line pop culture magazine geared towards teens and young adults. I live in a decent medium sized two bedroom apartment with my older sister, Angelica( Angie), in Los Angeles. My parents and Angie know about my double life, however my baby sister, Alyssa, has no clue. I plan on keeping her out of the loop until she graduates high school. 

7 a.m. Thirteen year old girls are  in the demographic  Apple's music is supposed to appeal to, that's not what I have a problem with. The problem is I was trying to sleep in, however,  a certain neighbor on the same floor of my apartment has the compelling need to blast pop music at 7 am while getting ready for school. Another neighbor on the same floor who happens to lack maturity at age twenty-five blasts his heavy metal in retaliation. Which of course sparks the Hip-hop neighbor to try and make the floors and walls vibrate with a thunderous bass.  The cops are probably on their way taking their sweet time because this is a daily occurrence and no one cares any more. So when I fall out of bed and roll across the fluffy rug on my bedroom floor and slide on to the hardwood by the door, I start to crawl my way to the bathroom and pee as per my usual routine. Lazily I brush my teeth and gurgle minty blue mouthwash before slowly walking back to my room and pull on a t-shirt with cartoon characters and slipping on my flip flops. 

Coffee. Our relationship has lasted from my freshmen year of high school until now.  It's not that I need a fix, just a kick to wake me up properly. I decided to walk to my favorite coffee shop because the buses would be crowded this time of the morning and I was not up for being stared at by creepy old guys with no shame. I hate the public transportation system with a passion, not for the transportation itself, but rude inconsiderate people. I trudged ever so full of conviction and faith in the  sweet nectar of what is not exactly my life blood but a spark in it.  I entered that sweet heavenly place, "Java Lava Mava" the oddly named coffee shop in which I, Amy G. Lee. spent a large portion of my morning.

9 a.m. I usually sit in the JLM coffee shop going through my spammed up email. Although I had 6 different email accounts and 3 twitter accounts, 2 tumblrs, 3 facebook accounts and the private link up to the on-line magazine.  Oh My Cheese! Being average. semi-famous, and a complete rock star all at the same time is a somewhere between fun and an absolute nightmare. Trends of pop fashion for the week is stripes for spring. Yippie! I can wear stripes again.... Red hair is officially mainstream hair color. Apple can't rock red anymore, she's a trend setter not a fashion clone. Ombre is the new chiq hair dye style, but it works best with long hair. Apple is going midnight blue hair with purple highlights. Pinstripes instead of mainstream horizontal stripes. Alternative rock music is coming back into the pop culture scene. Techno and electronica are getting highly overrated. Pumping Fall Out Boy's new stuff in my headphones. 

"Hey can I sit here?" I never pay attention to whoever asks. 11 a.m.

I just give a thumbs up motion and finish typing my preliminary trend report. I saved the article for another day. I read through several different subjects articles and writers as well as blog links and stories. 

1 p.m. I close my laptop and dig my cell phone out of my pocket. 1 voice message from Apple's new  manager for the summer tour who wants to plan the set lists and choreography in the next few weeks to prepare. Lovely. 

3 p.m.  Now it was time to turn into Apple Lollipop.
