Surprise for M

On Monday morning, I have a surprise for my friend. I will refer to her as "M", since she would probably get mad if I showed her real name. Well, almost every day we walk to school together in the morning. I go to her house, and then both of us go to school. That's the usual, anyway. Well, this Monday, I am going to call from my house and tell her I'm on my way over. Then when I get to her house, I'm gonna stand outside the window and call again. Then tell her to look outside her window, and I'll point to the new cell phone I'm calling from. Yay! :-)

And no, I'm not worried about her reading this blog before Monday. She never reads it anyways, so it's still gonna be a surprise. ;-)

Swim meet- Black&Blue

So, today I had another swim meet. It was actually just our swim team divided into the black team and the blue team. It's called the Black&Blue meet. (DUH) I was, on the black team, which won by the way, and I got best times in everything, besides 25 butterfly, because it was the first time I had ever swam that. My time was 19:49. Wonderful! My time for 50 freestyle was 36:06, a whole 4 seconds faster than last year. My time for 100 breaststroke was like 1:38:91, only about a 1/2 second faster than last time. But I was still happy.

CELL PHONE!!!

OMG!!! I CAN"T BELIEVE IT!!! AND IT'S SOOOO AMAZING I'M GOING TO TYPE IT ALL IN CAPS FOR THE REST OF THE POST!!! WITH 3 EXCLAMATION POINTS!!! I GOT MY FIRST CELL PHONE!!! IT'S THE MOST EXCITING GIFT EVER!!! I'VE ALREADY MASTERED THE CAMERA, THE TEXT, AND NOW ALL THAT'S LEFT IS TO COLLECT MY FRIENDS' PHONE NUMBERS!!! I'M SOOOO HAPPY!!!

Blog Order

Some of you might not have noticed yet, but if you want to read the entire blog, you have to click on the blog archives. Another thing I do not like about the blog order is that the newest ones are at the top, so if you start from there it usually doesn't make much sense. Sorry about that.

In fact, here's a picture of me swimming!

How many times do I have to say it?! Post a comment, PLEASE! I know some of my friends are reading this blog, and I urge you post a comment! NOW!!! Press the "comment" button!

Swimming

I don't think I've mentioned this before, but my winter sport is swimming. SO, on Saturday there was this big meet all the way down in Harrisburg, and I was swimming 100 freestyle, 50 backstroke, and 100 breaststroke. My times were:

100 free- 1:21:45- 13 seconds faster than last year!!!!!
50 back- about 46 seconds- 3 seconds faster than last year!!!
100 breast(stroke)- 1:46:76- a new time!!!

I'm very happy right now!

New Start

Well, I had most of the week off from school, so my best friend came over to my house and helped me clean my room. It's not like I'm taking advantage of her or anything, but she says she really likes cleaning other people's houses. I just can't figure her out sometimes. So, it took two days, but it was definitely worth it to see my room so crap-free. One analogy I used while cleaning was:

"It's like some dirty garage filled with scum. You get a power-hose, the kind they use to put out fires, and blast water at it everywhere. The scum melts off the walls and all that's left is to push the scum down the drain."

It felt very rewarding to cleanse my room of all the accumulated papers and trinkets and clothes that I will never wear again. We filled up a whole laundry tub of things to give away, and a whole garbage bag of trash. And you know what's funny? My friend's room is cleaner than mine, yet it's smaller and her bed takes up half the space in it. It's sort of embarrassing.

But, after such success cleaning my room, I decided to start knitting again. I got good when I practiced but I can't finish the rows and my yarn isn't very tightly woven so it's starting to fray. That means I will need yet another tutorial from my friend, and some new yarn. Hey, at least I tried. I sometimes think this knitting thing could really work.

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! And by the way, "My New Hobby" still isn't started. What can I say? I'm a procrastinator. I'll get started soon. (More like, I'll get started when I feel like it.)

Cockroaches

Today in science we were studying cockroaches. Preeeety gross. They were in a little plastic ontainer, and we had to give it some apple and banana pieces to see if it would eat. Normally I like science class, but today will not make my top ten.

the blog name

Ok, if anyone is wondering why in the world I picked my username to be what it is, it's because I originally got to this website by trying to post a blog on another website, this one about knitting. It led me here, so I decided to just make a name of my favorite animal and what I thought this website was about. That is all.

Ah, November

November is going pretty smoooooothly. It's a new marking period, so there isn't that much schoolwork I have to juggle. Also: I recommend these websites to everybody that reads my blog, even though that's probably nobody.

-freerice.com

-http://www.hulu.com/watch/28343/dr-horribles-sing-along-blog

Just a few minutes of your time. Although the second one will require about 42 minutes of you time, not to mention the loading.

Post ya later, :)

November blah

Well, first i would just like to say:

OBAMA!!!

Okay, so, as for November, it's pretty normal. Aaaaaand that's about it.
For Halloween I eventually went as Little Red Riding Hood. Very cute costume.
Maybe I'll post again when something INTERESTING happens.
