My New Hobby!!!

Science Fair

2010-05-11T16:05:00.000-07:00

All I have to say is it's due next Monday.

Well, maybe a little more than that. I've known about it for the last 2 weeks but couldn't think of any good project ideas. Well, now I have one! *applause*
Thank you, thank you.
My science fair prokect this year will be testing the blood sugar changes in diet iced tea vs. regular iced tea.
OK, that's all I have to say. But I will say I got a new Zen Mosaic music player for my 14th birthday. Perdy cool.

Festival Fun

2010-05-01T18:48:00.000-07:00

Every year, at the end of April, the park across the street from my house has a fair. They have rides, concessions, music, etc. It's been going on for as long as I can remember. When I was little my dad used to tell me he ordered it just for my birthday (because it was always about the same week) and I believed him. Now that I'm older, I know better, but I still have fun at the fair every year.

Not so much this time.

I only go on "wristband night" now. That's where you can pay $15 for a little green paper wristband and get into any ride you want for the whole night. Wednesday I went on a ride called the "Zipper" 5 times in a row and got really dizzy. I didn't want to go on any rides until I stopped being dizzy, so I took it easy for a while until somebody wanted to go on a ride with me. So the whole evening was fun, until- I threw up on the Zipper.

The part of the Zipper that you ride in is a little cage (perfect for trapping your barf) , and you have to go on with 1-2 other people. The lucky person riding with me when this happened was Cassidy, though fortunately she didn't get anything on her.

The ride was almost over. I REALLY didn't feel good this time, and so I had my eyes closed with Cass screaming her head off next to me. Next thing I know, I had my hands cupped over my mouth to keep from spilling vomit everywhere. But the ride was still bouncing around and I couldn't keep it in. I turned my head to the side, away from Cassidy, and tried to make it go out the side mostly, but instead I just got a lot on me. The ride came to a stop and I jumped out and threw up again on the grass.

I staggered away, still dizzy and also covered in sick. Julia (wonderful friend that she is) ran away from me, screaming "Just looking at you makes me sick!!!". So much for getting help. Two boys from our school who wanted to get on the Zipper started walking towards us, curious. Well, I thought, at least now Julia and Cassidy will have an excuse to talk to them. Not wanting to be seen caked in puke, I looked for a way out between the rides so I could go around the fair and avoid more people. The smell was so awful I almost threw up again.

When I finally got home, I took a shower right away, and then brushed my teeth 3 times. Even as I went to bed I could still smell it. Blecch.

The next morning at school, the first thing anyone said to me was, "Are you sure you're feeling okay?" I assured them I was, and then the vomit jokes began. When I asked to borrow an eraser, it became "the vomit eraser" as soon as I touched it. Therese insisted that I was sick and that I should go home and not touch her.

Thanks, guys.

Today...

2010-03-28T17:50:00.001-07:00

Today I wrote thank you notes to iStar Financial, (who gave me the $100 savings bond), Merriam-Webster, and Encyclopedia Britannica. They were pretty identical, though.
I've been getting lots of congratulations from people, and it feels weird. I can only imagine what it's going to be like at school tomorrow. People already know me as the speller girl and such, but now that's going to be basically my whole identity. Especially from my science teacher, who enjoys making football references just to see my reaction (bored), and who also types about 3 words per minute, hitting the spacebar instead of tab.
This is gonna be great.

Spelling Bee

2010-03-27T09:04:00.001-07:00

I haven't posted in a while. But my mom was talking about it, so I just now remembered to blog! Whoops.
Nothing much has changed, until yesterday when I won the spelling bee! This means I am going to the National Spelling Bee. It's something I've seen on ESPN for like 5 minutes, but aside from watching Akeelah and the Bee I don't really know what to expect. Mom always said I could make it, but I just shrugged and told her "We'll see." Going was never my goal.
At the bee, I told myself that I just wanted to be in the top ten. But when Therese dropped out in the 5th round, I told her "I'll win it for both of us". However, I didn't really believe that. Every time I came up to the microphone, I braced myself, thinking, This is it. This is the word I won't know. This is as far as I'm going. But I knew almost every single word! There was "nightingale", "tortilla", "bratwurst", "nemesis", "ostentatious", "precipitate", "oregano", "turpentine", "monomanical" ( i just guessed for that one), "poultice", "cyanide", and the winning word was "deciduous". Pretty easy considering some of the other ones: ""malloseismic" was a word I would have spelled wrong. So was "shaddock". Not exactly common words.
So, I have a 3-foot tall plastic trophy that I don't know where to put, two 4-inch binders full of words to study, a book written by last year's winner, a dictionary, $20 that I got after registering, and a reservation for a hotel in D.C.! But I probably won't get to see the sights, even though I love the subways & museums.
The Scripps National Spelling Bee starts on June 2. Wish me luck! I'll try to write an update every day while I'm there.

Various Things

2010-02-14T10:55:00.000-08:00

History Day: Yes, I finished. *round of applause* By the time I went to school I had everything printed out and I was pretty sure of the layout. It is now in the hallway for all to see and looks pretty awesome with the fake blood. (Which is edible, so my board is kept behind a rope so nobody eats it. )
More recently, there has been several feet of snow where I live. But that doesn't mean much because by Friday morning, 49 out of 50 states had snow in them. (All except Hawaii) Of course, I went sledding, but it was hard to walk up the hill because by the second snowstorm it was waist-deep. It was still snowing, too, so snow got in my pocket where my phone was. Which brings me to this: my phone is water-damaged beyond repair. I am getting a new one in the mail, a Samsung Propel (possibly blue) that should arrive Monday or Tuesday.
And speaking of water, there was another meet this weekend. I swam 200 IM, 100 breaststroke, 50 free, 100 back, and 100 free. Aaaaand I'm coming back for the relays later tonight.

Happy Valentine's Day! <3

History Fair

2010-01-28T14:44:00.000-08:00

*gulp* Yes it's that time of year. My history day project is due this Monday. My topic is Blood Banks/Transfusions and I still don't have everything printed out yet. Here's what I do have:
-A poorly written essay that needs to be revised.
-3 pages of printed pictures, and a lot more that haven't been printed.
-The letters for the title, and the board (which is red).
-A bag of fake blood.
-Pamphlets about giving blood and 2 "I gave blood today stickers".
-Only a vague idea of the layout, and almost no clue where I'll put the pictures.
-A big black square of posterboard (to make the papers/pictures "pop out") which is not big enough.
-2 hours tomorrow at school to put everything together. If I don't, I still have the weekend, but I'd prefer to do it tomorrow.

Well, I should get back to work.

Updates

2010-01-06T14:56:00.000-08:00

Let's make this quick.
1. I am not going to Japan. I was very sad yes, but I will live through it. The trip is in May, and 5 other people (2 of which are my friends) are going for a week. =(
2. I have facebook now, courtesy of "Santa Claus". So I might be posting less that ever. Or maybe more, I don't know yet.
3. I won the spelling bee, as the sole representative of our school. Last year 2 people moved on from our school, with 2 representatives. This year there is 1 winner, with 3 alternatives. Is 3 alternatives even necessary? What are the odds that 3 people will become too sick to go? Well, thank god there was that one extra. You can never be too paranoid.
4. This doesn't really count as "news", but T made another blog. For more details, visit, http://lsparkismyhomie.blogspot.com/
Well, that's about all I can think of! Stay tuned for more posts in the possible distant future.

Black Eye

2009-11-13T07:45:00.000-08:00

Today in gym we were playing hockey. It was the last day for hockey, and i liked playing. (Personally, i thought i was doing good.) I remember going after the puck, but there were already about five people around it so i moved back, ready to get it if it came toward the goal. Somebody whacked at it, and it came flying through the air toward my face, and... ouch. Everybody stopped playing. I covered my eye with my hand, and the gym teacher came over to look at it. I took my hand away, and he sent me to the nurse immediately. She took one look at it, and gave me ice while she called my mom to pick me up. It didn't really hurt, but she told my mom that it was "swelling up while we speak." I got my uniform out of the gym locker, and julia went up to my locker to get my stuff. Withing 5 minutes I was on my way home. So right now mom is taking my brother to an appointment, and when she comes back at 11:15 I'll probably have to go back to school. The swelling has gone down, but its still a little sore.

Japan Essay

2009-10-27T17:20:00.000-07:00

i had to submit an essay last week, along with 3 teacher and non-relative recommendations. it was all so i could apply to go on a student trip to Japan. about 9 people in all submitted theirs (including me.) so far i like my chances.

As it turns out, I did not get picked to go to Japan. :'(

Savage Chickens (again, they are just so funny!!!)

Savage Chickens

2009-07-08T11:54:00.000-07:00

Yes, that's right. Time for more silly pictures. These are from savagechickens.com!

Playlist

2009-07-08T11:52:00.001-07:00

117 tracks. Count 'em. I am catching up to Julia, who now has like 130 something. (Or so she says.)

Lucky Thirteen

2009-06-16T09:42:00.000-07:00

Yup, I turned 13 this May. And it doesn't change things that much except I am swimming for the 13-14 group in Skyline & Trident. Skyline, well, Skyline is actually pretty good this year. I can keep up with all the other swimmers and compared to Trident, the practices are nice 'n' short. I already have 2 friends on the team. And I just love being fast. The new team swimsuits look really good, uh, that's all I have to say about being thirteen. I just haven't posted in a while and it's hard to get back in the habit. =(

Updates... Quite a few this Time!!!

2009-03-29T08:17:00.000-07:00

I just wanna say: its been a reeeeally long time. So I'll try to remember everything:

1. In science we had to dissect rats. I was partners with Julia, and she was pretty understanding of my complete refusal to touch the yellow, putrid, red-and-blue-spotted, (dead!!!) rat. :P So, Julia did most of the dissecting. Ok, she did ALL of the dissecting. I just sat there trying not to puke. But I didn't lose any points because I did the packet work on the rat. I did learn a few things, but nothing really that important. So now we're finally done, we've BEEN done for several weeks. But occasionally, just when you least expect it, the smell of the rat comes back to haunt you. It happens less and less these days, but when it does, the person's eyes widen with terror, and in a low voice, they say,
"I can smell the rat!".
I will never become a doctor.

Swim Meet

2009-02-21T12:35:00.001-08:00

First I just want to get something out of the way: The Five Star Swim Meet.

I did some events, I got some best times, and I did relays. i pretty much spent the whole weekend that way:
1. Wake up early (earlier than I should on the weekend)
2. Go to swim meet
3. Try to find spot on wet, overcrowded bleachers to put my stuff
4. Swim a total of about 5 minutes
5. Spend the rest of that time sitting on the bleachers
6. Go home, watch TV, fall asleep on the couch
7. Go back for relays
8. Go home and do the same thing tomorrow!

Yeah it wasn't that great. And then I had to go and get sick on President's Day. :P

Sick (ugh!)

2009-02-19T11:41:00.000-08:00

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT!!! I'M SICK!!! (Or, at least, I was!)

This morning I couldn't go to school because I didn't think I could make it through the day. I felt dizzy and nauseous if I moved too fast. (I moved as fast as an old woman this morning.) So I didn't go to school. Then I slept for like 3 hours and I woke up feeling fine. Now, I can't believe I missed school. However, I almost threw up this morning.

I'm going to school tomorrow. But it's better than being sick.

I bet Therese is gonna rub it in my face when I get there. :P

BTW colors:

2009-02-17T19:07:00.001-08:00

BTW Please let me know what your favorite colors are. You're allowed to pick more than one this time. =) So far I'm leading with green and blue because I voted like four times, but Julia and Therese voted too, I guess. Or maybe that purple was Cassidy, not Julia.

???????????????????????????

(BTW means By The Way, in case someone's parents are reading this!) =P

NerdBowl- and a possible Sickness?

2009-02-17T18:42:00.000-08:00

Today I had NerdBowl- oops I mean QuizBowl- after school. QuizBowl is like, trivia. And it's run mostly by our math teacher. Yippers. S=P

Basically, you have two teams of four, one from each school, and somebody reads the question to them all. Then somebody buzzes in and if they get it right then their team gets a bonus question. Every regular question ("tossup") is 10 points. The bonus questions have 4 parts, and each one is four points.
Today we played Manheim Township. Man, they must be on brain steroids. The first game we lost 60 to 285. Go team. =P

And the possible sickness? Has Monica finally fallen ill? *gasp* =O
I woke up on Monday (Happy Prez Day!!!) and I had a headache. I took some medicine and I was okay, thank you very much!!! So, no, not sick, unless you're counting this weird cough I've had ever since I climbed out of the pool after relays on Saturday. (yes, i didn't post about that one yet sorry!)

Just my little Tuesday adventure. See ya!

Lewis' New Room

2009-02-15T18:27:00.000-08:00

YAY!!! Lewis is finally going back to his old room YAY!!!

Explanation: When he was sick, Lewis- um- threw up on his carpet. So he moved his mattress into my room. Lewis was living in my own room, but I had to stay upstairs?! Cmon now!
So anyway, they got a new carpet and now Lewis is back where he belongs. Except all his crap is still in my room. Must be why his room is so clean.
So anyway, it's still gonna be a while before I move back into my room.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Projects- last post I swear!!!

2009-02-08T18:08:00.000-08:00

I know it's been a while, but, I also know that nobody cares! Which gives me absolute freedom. The only people who read this are Therese, Julia maybe, and sometimes Mom+Dad. I really don't know why, so don't ask me!!!
I finally turned in the History Day project. Yay.
And Julia was giving away all the clothes and stuff she doesn't fit anymore, and she invited me and Heather over to get in on it. Her room is really messy, and she needed to get rid of it, and it was better than just throwing it away, right?
So now I have "new" clothes to wear. Just as soon as I wash them. ;o)

ok, bye-bye!!!

Updates!!!

2009-02-05T12:14:00.000-08:00

Some things I've neglected to mention:

1. I don't have school today, because of Parent-Teacher Conferences. (Yes, my grades are fine, thank you!)
2. I'm wearing my new jeans.
3 I haven't gotten sick yet, but by now my family is better again. :o)
4. I broke my favorite cap AND my favorite goggles. :o(
5. Therese made 2 more blogs, as a force of habit. One is "the best comebacks ever. PERIOD." One is in Latin. She's going to wind up doing a blog for her imaginary friends or something.
6. Therese's brother made his own blog.
7. I haven't touched my knitting needles in months. I wonder where they are by now.
8. It just snowed again. I should go sledding. :o)
Yep... I think that should cover it. But if you want to know where I got those funny pictures:

http://icanhascheezburger.com/

Ok Bye Now!!!

Projects- not quite :o(

2009-02-05T12:05:00.000-08:00

YES!!!
I finally turned in those projects!!!
Well... Except for History Day.
When I got to class the teacher told me we were also supposed to do a process paper about our projects. Like, why we did them and the significance of the people we were doing our projects on.

So... I'm supposed to be doing it now, but I spent the entire morning watching Spirited Away, The Office, and The Simpsons. I'm finally going to do that process paper now. At least it's not, like 10:00. Whoo.

Oh yes and, one more thing, Therese and I recorded a little something for the Pokey Show. From what I remember, it sucked. Then again, we were making it up as we went along.

Another thing- I'm approaching 100 posts, and maybe I'll do something special when it comes around. I dunno.

Ha Ha Ha!!!

2009-02-02T16:25:00.000-08:00

Yup- EVEN MORE!!! LOL!!!

Ha Ha Ha!!!

2009-02-02T16:15:00.000-08:00

Lol OMG this is really funny! Cmon, admit it!!!

Happy Groundhogs Day!

2009-02-02T16:10:00.000-08:00

Yeah, I almost forgot: Happy Groundhog's Day!!!

Playlist

2009-02-02T16:05:00.000-08:00

Hey- I have 58 songs!!!

My newest ones (mostly recommended by my friends) are:
It Ends Tonight
Right Round
Just Dance
Live your Life
Pokerface

Yeah, everything else is like, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Greenday, Coldplay, and 1 Crazy Frog too!

I See Sick People!!!

2009-02-02T15:52:00.000-08:00

Great. Now I'm surrounded by-
SICK PEOPLE!!!

Let's go back a couple weeks. It didn't happen all at once, but sure enough- Julia got sick, and so did Therese and Cassidy. I haven't gotten sick in like, 2 years. :o) Yeah, I know, I'm weird!
So I was teasing them about being sick with me staying healthy, and Therese was all like, "You will get sick!!!" like she was gonna poison me when I wasn't looking... or something.

Well, I still haven't gotten sick yet, but this morning when I woke up, Mom asked me if I was feeling alright. I was, of course. So then she says that during the night, Dad and Lewis both got sick. They were, like, throwing up. And I know because I heard it with my ears.
(shudder)
And then when I came home today, Mom was sick too. I was a little relieved because I had stayed out longer than I should have at Julia's house, and I forgot to call. But I sent her a text message with Julia's phone. (since mine was at my aunt's house) Anyway, now it's just me left in a house of the sick. I'm fine right now. There is a possible advantage, however, if I get sick: more time to do those nagging projects. :oP

I'll try to hang in there, just like that stupid card with a kitty clinging to a tree branch for his dear life...

MMMM...

2009-02-02T06:59:00.000-08:00

Ooh! This weekend was Chocolate Moose Daze at The North Museum where my Mom works and where I am a volunteer.
Yup.
The healthiest thing I ate the whole day was pancakes, for breakfast.
I don't know why Therese says I'm skin and bones. :P
I spent the whole morning watching Spririted Away, and I still didn't see the end. :(

Well bye now!

WOOT!!!

2009-01-31T18:44:00.000-08:00

I almost forgot-

GOOOOOO STEELERS!!!

^__^

Staples... EW!!!

2009-01-31T18:41:00.001-08:00

Yeah I just remembered that in Spanish this retarded kid was stapling his fingers.
It just popped into my head.
I hope you enjoyed that little part of my life.
I didn't, of course.
:oP

Eagle Scout

2009-01-31T18:38:00.000-08:00

YAY!!!
My brother just got his Eagle Scout badge. Hey, the Scouts thing may be a little nerdy, and I agree. But I am very happy for Lewis because I know that he's been working for this for a loooong time. At last it's over!!! :o)

MMMM... :P

2009-01-31T06:26:00.000-08:00

Hey guess what I'm eating right now??!
That's right- a DOUGHNUT!!!
It's cream-filled and it's got little Oreo bits on top.
SOOOO YUMMY!!!
I love it when the cream oozes out like that. :D

And guess what? I'm wearing those new jeans I bought yesterday and they're really comfortable!!!

Shopping!

2009-01-30T20:14:00.001-08:00

Yeah I just got back from shopping too. I have a new pair of jeans!!!

MMMM... :o)

2009-01-30T20:08:00.000-08:00

MMMM I really want a doughnut right now!!!My Dad said he would get me one if I woke up at 7:00 to go to Farmer's Market with him. I have to go early because swim practice is at 10:30. Anyway, there's no way I could wake up at 7:00 on a Saturday. I would probably just roll back over and keep on snoring.
Another thing- speaking of yummy things I just had toast for dessert!!! Because my stupid brother ate like all of our ice cream, there's like nothing I can have before I go to bed. But this time, I put some toast in the toaster and even though one side was a little black it still looked good. And the reason it was so yummy was I put pear butter on it. Have you ever had pear butter? It's kinda like apple butter. Really good. :o)

At School

2009-01-30T07:21:00.000-08:00

AAAH I HATE THESE PROJECTS!!!

Uh-oh someone's looking bye now!

Ahem

2009-01-29T13:55:00.001-08:00

WOOOOOO
WOOOOOO

RANDOM TRAIN

PULLING IN!!!

What?!

2009-01-29T13:54:00.001-08:00

OMG why the crap did I just post that?! Like I said, no idea what's going on!

Snow Day!!!

2009-01-29T13:50:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we had a snow day, and I used it to get my science fair project under way. Sadly, we had to go back to school today and it wasn't a good day because I was so tired of seeing the same faces and hearing the same voices and I had no idea what anyone was saying to me or if they were even bothering to listen and I just want a two-week vacation in Florida so I'm not paler than a ghost.
O_o

Well...

2009-01-29T07:08:00.000-08:00

Okay, I almost have this figured out.
I have 2 projects, I'm a little less than halfway through them both. I don't know. They're due next week. I might just be able to do them in time. That's all, I guess.

Projects >:(

2009-01-27T19:31:00.001-08:00

I finished that one project I was working on. I struggled night and day against the forces of procrastination. I finally succeeded! YES!!!
Well, anyway, I still have two more huge projects due next week. And why are my cruel and barbaric teachers cramming these all into 1 week?!
Parent-teacher Conferences.
They just want to show the parents the projects that they've already seen a million times because their kid worked on it at home constantly with a panicked sense of urgency. Real good thinking. I'm glad we're at school so they can teach us how to do things more better... along with a lot of other stuff we're not too very exactly good at doing... like CONSISTENCY!!!
>:(

o_O

2009-01-26T18:39:00.000-08:00

Oh m'Gawd!!!

I know that, like, nobody is reading this, but HOLY CRAP the Brian Williams blog is SOOOOOO HILARIOUS!!! (DIGGETY-CORN-D-DAWG!!!)

Yeah.

I might be a little over excited.

Anyway, I can smell cranberry-orange bread beckoning me! ;)

Spelling Bee

2009-01-26T13:54:00.000-08:00

GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??!

I totally forgot to post about the Spelling Bee!

It was in the auditorium, which was FREEZING, by the way, and fortunately I got to sit next to Therese and Katia. (Julia was there too, but she sat in the row behind me.)

The Bee started, and the first word given to the first speller, a wee little 6th grader, was "coordinated'. Right away we could see this wasn't going to be easy like last time. My first word was... umm... I don't remember. But anyway, I spelled it right and Katia and Therese spelled their first words right also. The entire second row missed their words, and I am sorry to say that that included Julia. =(

By the second round, like 3/4 of the students were gone. I realized that Therese, Katia, and I were the only seventh graders left. My second round word was tyrannous. I had heard that word before, and I thought I knew how to spell it, but I didn't. The word I spelled was: tyrranous.

You see the difference.

Well, that was it for my chances. Katia missed hers, too, but Therese's word was: crevice. Not quite fair, but we were both thinking of an alternate spelling: crevasse. It turned out to be crevice, and luckily that was what Therese spelled.

After many rounds, the spellers emerged as:
Jack+Maddy, two eighth graders, were going on to the next round. Therese and some little 6th grader named Miguel were their alternates. I joked with Therese about poisoning Jack or Maddy so she could go. She smiled, cuz of course it was funny, but neither Jack or Maddy was sick. I don't think either of them went on to the next round, which is really depressing, because last year I went on like 5 rounds!!!

I am glad that Therese was only an alternate, because then I would have been extremely jealous. >=(
But I wasn't! =)

Yeah, there's still next year, but it will also be our last chance. I'm hoping we get it this time.

So... School!

2009-01-26T13:30:00.000-08:00

Wow!!! I can't believe it!!! I was looking back at some old blogs and I can't believe how much has changed in my class since I started posting. Well, what are some of the changes, you ask? Let me count the ways...

1. Well, like, Therese used to be like some stranger to me, but now she is like one of the best friends I've ever had!
2. The girls really used to hate Julia, but now they don't.
3. I'm pretty sure Julia and Cassidy are friends again. I mean, from what I saw today, Cassidy doesn't move to another table if Julia is sitting there.
4. Um... It might be just me, but... I think the girls are being nicer to me too. Or it might be just because of Cassidy and Julia, or because they think I'm a suck-up, or because they feel sorry for me. But at least they're not completely exclusive anymore.

OH MY GOD it was soo weird with like all of us eating pizza at the same table!!! The guys were sitting at another table, but it was the one right next to us. (oh, that's right we were in the cafeteria!) It was kinda fun!Especially when "Brat" (excuse me, I won't call her that anymore) put on a dance for us. It was like soooo weird because before today I would have thought she was just being retarded and wanted to dance in front of everyone for attention. But today it wasn't like that. It was funny!!! Especially when all the guys came up and tried to do the same dance. (This one guy, Luke, he was trying to do a split!)

Well, after the pizza it got weird. I stayed in the same corner as before (but with Therese) while Cassidy and Julia spent most of their time with the other girls. Man, I just wish I knew where to sit/stand in the class!!! Everybody changes sides really quickly and I wonder if I'm welcome on that new side with them. ARGH!!!

Anyway, a very interesting day. Oops, got a ton of homework due tomorrow!!!

The Official Website of Brian Williams!!!

2009-01-26T10:01:00.000-08:00

Um, Yeah, we've also been doing videos where we just say the stupidest stuff and keep repeating "BRIAN WILLIAMS!!!"

Anyway, you know where this is going, so...

...Enjoy!!!

The Pokey Show!!!

2009-01-26T09:54:00.001-08:00

Okay, ever since Therese got a video camera for Christmas, she's been taping these ridiculous (and slightly scary) videos called "The Pokey Show".
Well, I just made the Pokey Show website!!! Sorry, no T-shirt line yet, folks, in fact, we haven't even made real videos, but when we do, they're going straight on YouTube!!!

Here's the Pokey Show website:

pokeyshow.blogspot.com

Enjoy!!!

P.S. Therese is taking over the world with blogs!!! and what does she have to say about this?

Therese: "OH YEAH!"

Obama's First Hundred Days

2009-01-26T09:27:00.001-08:00

Therese DID make that blog about Obama's first hundred days. You can find it at:

obamasfirsthundreddays.blogspot.com

Well, enjoy!!!

At school

2009-01-26T08:33:00.000-08:00

Here I am- at school!!!
That's right, it's a vacation day normally, BUT!
Our social studies teacher offered to let us come in to the cafeteria so we could work on our history day projects!
We just ordered like a ton of pizza, and now we're waiting for it to arrive!
And, in case your wondering, then yes, I AM getting a little work done too! =D

The Office

2009-01-25T15:04:00.000-08:00

Alright, The Office is really funny. Including that new episode, Prince Family Paper, which I finally watched. (Dwight is so cruel! For once, I'm with Michael on that one.) And I don't care what they were voting on, Hilary Skank is uugly.
Well, as long as I'm talking about The Office, my favorite character is Oscar. (And Jim, I mean, who doesn't like Jim?) Oscar is like the only one who even bothers to make sense.
Michael acts like some little kid who decided to put on a tie and run a business. Embarassing.
Pam is cool, except for that one time in The Surplus. Really scary.
Kevin is... s= o
I like Phyllis, she kinda reminds me of your typical grandmother. Trying to solve problems, slightly overweight. =)

Well, I got a ton of homework. I'll post again later.

Facebook

2009-01-23T07:17:00.000-08:00

*sigh* I really want a facebook, but Mom and Dad barely let me explain anything about it before they said no. They think someone that used to be my friend is going to post something really nasty on Facebook, like, I don't know, if I do something to make them mad. Well, all my friends are nice to me and some of them don't even have facebook. (But most of them do.) Nevertheless, you can't do anything on facebook that you can't do in real life. They think all girls my age are the really nasty kind you read about in the newspaper. Well, my friends aren't like that and I still wan't a facebook. >=(

The Office

2009-01-23T07:02:00.000-08:00

Lately Therese has been pressuring me to watch The Office. It's a kind-of funny show, but i'm not really committed to watching it like she is. The last episode I saw was The Duel. (Those last italics were very hard to get right. Curse this computer!!!) Yeah, The Duel was funny, but I still don't really watch it that much. What was I going to say? Okay, Therese is trying to recite everything to me about her favorite episodes. Knock it off, Therese! Anyway, Therese just made a new blog that's all about The Office. Wait, now she's making another one, this time about... Obama's First Hundred Days as President?! I guess after a hundred days she's not posting anymore. Well, anyway, here's a link to her The Office blog:
http://dwightandangelatogether.blogspot.com/

And the Obama blog:
Uhhh.... She's going to make it later, when she gets home. Nevermind.

Projects (oh crap)

2009-01-23T06:16:00.000-08:00

Well, fortunately I got some stuff done on my projects. but I haven't even started two of them. Oh, RIGHT! I totally forgot:

OBAMA!!! WOOOT!!!

Yeah, that's pretty much it for now. Plus, let's all wish Maddy a belated birthday! =)

At school

2009-01-16T07:04:00.000-08:00

Great.

School again.

I have like 5 projects due in two weeks and I'm barely started.

I'm sick of dealing with these people in my class.

Thank god for friends, at least they're not fighting anymore. =)

Swim Meet (I'm at school now)

2009-01-12T06:09:00.000-08:00

I'm posting at school today, talking about the swim meet that was this weekend. I had seven events, and got 5 new best times. YAY!!!
My events were:
1. 50 freestyle- BEST TIME!!!
2. 100 breaststroke
3. 50 backstroke- BEST TIME!!!
4. 100 IM (pretty hard actually)- NEW TIME!!!
5. 50 breaststroke- BEST TIME!!!
6. 100 backstroke
7. 100 freestyle- BEST TIME!!!

Woot!!! I don't remember the actual times, I'll get back to you on that.

Updates

2009-01-09T19:58:00.000-08:00

Right, so, what's new with me? Well, here's a list:

1. Swim meet tomorrow, everybody wish me luck, I have like ten events.
2. Like 50 songs on my playlist.
3. Tired of Therese, Julia, and now Maddy S. calling me blonde.
4. Therese is hilarious, dawg!
5. I want a MySpace but Mom and Dad wont let me get one.
6. Lots of assignments due in a few weeks, like science fair, etc., and I'm not even started.
7. In the Spelling Bee, with Therese and Katia. (Wait, did I already mention that?)
8. Heather disgraced my phone. ( I will not gross you out with the details, it's an inside joke.)
9. I'm tired.
10. Aaand... I don't really think that Maddy (G.) and I are going to be friends much longer. We used to talk a lot, and I still try to start conversations, but they last about 3 seconds. Except when she's with her stupid popular friends (I will call them the United Evil League of Brats, or maybe UELB), then she talks and laughs a LOT. Oh God, I hate them soo much! They stole my Best Friend!!!

Oh, well.

The Spelling Bee

2009-01-07T14:36:00.000-08:00

Oh, Jeez. The Spelling Bee is coming up. And I guarantee that pretty much all of you are thinking, pssh, so what? That thing is lame. Well, i actually made it to district or o last year and the year before. Oh no, even thinking about it makes my stomach tie up in knots. I feel really ill right now. I hope I get better in time for swim practice. Uugh...

Progress

2009-01-03T07:18:00.000-08:00

Alright, alright! No knitting progress has been made at all. Just wanted to clear that up.

And, even thought there have been no recent meets that I did not post about, last week at swim practice we were each timed for a 500! Now, a 500 is 20 laps. That's a lot.

Though it wasn't the fastest, I beat both of my friends (who also did the 500) with a not-so -stellar time of 8:18:__. Yeah, I don't remember the milliseconds.

Anyhow, I'm not a very fast swimmer, but I do better over longer distances. In fact, one girl in a different group finished in about 6 minutes.

God I'm slow. =(

Girl Genius

2009-01-02T20:10:00.000-08:00

GOD I just HAVE to tell someone about Girl Genius. It is the coolest webcomic ever. Enjoy!

http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20021104

Awww

2009-01-02T19:42:00.000-08:00

Wow I was soo touched by Julia's blog about me!

However:
1. I am NOT DIRTY BLONDE, MY HAIR IS BROWN, THANK YOU!!!
2. Just forget about Clay, okay? She never posted that...
3. What? I'm not nerdy!
4. Yes, Julia would buy the most ridiculous tings if I were not there to save her.
5. Did you see that? Kindest girl she ever met!!!

Thanks Julia!!!

Julia

2009-01-02T19:05:00.000-08:00

Right. Because she begged me and because she is very annoying when she begs, I will do a post on Julia.

Are you happy now?

Julia is my friend, of course, and here are a few more interesting facts about her:

1. She is blonde. Oh god, she is BLONDE!!! Lol.
2. She is a cheerleader.
3. She loves shopping and often begs me to go with her.
4. She never turns her phone off, so I am always able to text her and get a response in two seconds.
5. She likes: Callen & Luke. Just kidding Julia!
6. She is a great friend.
7. She has two dogs. Oh wait, just one dog and the other one is her little brother. =)
8. She has a good sense of fashion, and will criticize you on what you are wearing.
9. She keeps coming up with, like, imaginary plane trips to Europe or D.C. with her friends even though we will never be able to do it.
10. She is doing a blog about me now, because I did this for her!!!

Alright, that's enough about Julia, stay tuned folks, for more posts by your favorite blogger, -SUPcake-!!! (Formerly known as tigerknit)

New Year

2009-01-01T13:31:00.000-08:00

Right! A new Year! And I have a few resolutions, but they will remain my little secret for now, at least on this blog.
Today Mom and Dad dragged us(yeah, i have a brother) out of bed just in time to get to County Park for a walk or run through the trails, courtesy of the Lancaster Road Runners Club. (Walking or running depends on your level of normality. I think these people organized a trail run at noon on New Year's Day just to prove that they can't go 12 hours into 2009 without running/walking.)
So, Dad, Lewis, and I were walking around the various trails, talking sometimes, and it was really cold too. (Mom was running.)
Then we got to this really steep hill. Dad turned to me and said, "Wanna race to the top?"
I told him he was crazy.
So, we started up the hill anyway because Lewis is already halfway up and so are the rest of the walkers.
I went up the really steep hill, using my hands for support because it was covered in mud and dead leaves, making it easy to slip.
Dad started up A ROW OF STEPS right next to the hill.
Well, I was about halfway up when I looked around and nobody's there. I called out, but nobody answered. So I thought, well, I'm not going to reach the top fast enough if I keep going up this hill. I cut across to the steps Dad went up, and it was much easier. Then when I got to the top, all I saw was a low grassy field. No Dad. No Lewis. No rest of the walkers.
I started across the field, because I expected, well, they've made it to the woods on the other side. Halfway across the field, I actually saw people in the woods. They weren't anyone I know, but I could tell they were runners. I crossed the field, but the person I saw was already out of sight. I walked around the forest, still keeping an eye out for Dad or Lewis. Just then I got to the road beyond the woods.
I still couldn't see anybody, but I crossed the road nonetheless, still looking.
When I reached the other side of the road, I could see a little gravel lane with some trees on either side, going up the next hill. As I came closer, I noticed people! Not Dad or Lewis, but Lois and Janey, other walkers we knew.
I ran to catch up with them, and when I did, I explained what had happened, still out of breath.
They said that Dad and Lewis were back at the top of the hill, calling for me. I know I didn't see them, so I guess they didn't see me either.
I asked Lois and Janey if they had their cell phones with them, because I really wanted to call Dad and tell him I was alright. Well, they said they didn't have their phones with them. We decided that we would just head back to the parking lot, which was the start and finish of the race, and see if we could borrow someone else's phone to call them. I liked that plan. I was just so relieved to have found somebody that I knew.
It took about 15 minutes, but we finished the walk and ended up back at the parking lot. I had just borrowed Bill's cell phone, and was punching in Dad's cell phone number, when he appeared at my side.
I was so relieved to see him, but he looked worried still. I looked around for Lewis, but didn't see him anywhere. Dad told me to get in the car, and I did. When he started driving I explained what had happened since we were separated.
Then he explained that Mom and Lewis were still out there looking for me.
Crap.
We drove around, and it wasn't long before we spotted Lewis, making his way back to the parking lot. He jumped in with us and we started looking for Mom because apparently she was still looking for me and Lewis had decided to head back anyway. Great.
We didn't find Mom, so we gave up and went back to the parking lot. And there she was, eating sushi that one of the other runners brought!!! (Usually everybody brings some kind of food to the run.)
So, I explained again what had happened to me, and thanked Lois and Janey for everything, and then I started pigging out on the brownies people brought.

Happy Ending!

Christmas

2009-01-01T13:01:00.001-08:00

Well, the post just before was a mistake, folks. Here's what I actually would have said:

Jeez, I haven't posted in a while. Here's a short version of what happened on Christmas:

Okay, every year for Christmas my family and I go to Grammy's house, after everyone has opened all their presents at home. We bring along all the presents for the rest of the family and put them under Grammy's tree. We eat the Christmas dinner, (more like a huge lunch that keeps you from being hungry when it's time for dinner) and then move out to the living room and open presents. Yay!!!

Here's what I got: (i hope i remember everything)
1. Green smiley earrings and and a purse thing. (From Cassidy)
2. Christmas stocking earrings. (From Maddy)
3. A Build-a Bear bear. (From Sarah)
4. A stuffed panda and body lotion. (From Julia)
5. A stamp set. (From Katia)
Thank goodness for friends!!! =)
6. A "Monopoly" charm bracelet. (From uncle Ken)
7. A digital photo frame. (From Uncle Cliff)
8. A purple sweater, a little too tight. (From Grammy)
9. Cute pink shirt with a raccoon on it. (From Mom+Dad, bless them!)\
10. ttyl by Lauren Myracle. (From Mom+Dad)

Uumm, that's probably it. Happy New Year!!!

Christmas

2008-12-30T13:42:00.001-08:00

J's Blog

2008-12-30T12:24:00.000-08:00

Well, J's first blog is a dead end, peoples. She forgot her password so she had to create a new one. You can find it at:

http://ijulia-cheer.blogspot.com/

(It's a little too pink for me, but i think it's great.)

Christmas Vacation

2008-12-23T12:27:00.000-08:00

WOOO!!! Christmas vacation starts NOW baby!!! Next time I post, It will be about my awesome new presents. Am I not the only one out there that wants new clothes for Christmas?
BTW I have about 30 songs now.

Playlist!!!

2008-12-22T17:50:00.000-08:00

OMG I can't believe it's so easy to add songs to my playlist. It's like, ridiculously easy. I love it. And I recommend it to anyone reading this.

Playlist!!!

2008-12-22T17:36:00.000-08:00

WOOT!!! Just today, at my house, before we got a chance to start wrapping up my friends' presents, J showed me her Facebook and Myspace pages, along with a site called playlist.com!
IT IS SOOO FREAKIN AWESOME!!! You just look up whatever song or artist you want, and you get it!!! I've only been on like 5 minutes and already I have 24 songs on my playlist! Yeah, it's pretty great. I have to tell my friends! YIPPEE!!!

One more thing!

2008-12-21T08:07:00.000-08:00

Alright, my millions of fans, I'm sure you are all wondering about my knitting project. Well, we checked a book out of the library about knitting that was recommended to us by the lady I bought my needles from in the veery first post. However, I haven't done any knitting at all lately, because I'm either too lazy to get up off my butt and do it, or because the yarn is too "loose" and it's "fraying", like I've told my parents when they say I should give it a try. Eh, I'll get around to it one of these days, when the holidays are over. Maybe I'll get better yarn for Christmas. *Cough*, yeah right, nobody's gonna give me yarn for Christmas.

T's Blog

2008-12-21T07:52:00.000-08:00

Well, that should be enough posting for now, I'm gonna visit T's blog! WOOT! PHILLIES ROCK LOUD!!!

Happy Couple

2008-12-21T07:50:00.000-08:00

I forgot to mention it, but this week my cousin and his girlfriend are now engaged! YAAAAY!!! Of course it will be a loong engagement, since my cousin is only 18. But I am still very excited and happy for them.

Christmas Shopping

2008-12-21T07:45:00.000-08:00

Wow! I am sooo excited about Christmas! But I'm also really tense, too. It is the last weekend of Christmas shopping right now, and I still need gifts for at least four friends. Fortunately they told me what the want. I will be shopping for T, S, H, C, and M.S. (M.S. not to be confused with M.) And not to mention gifts for the rest of my family! Actually, we have a sort of smallish family, so it won't be that difficult.

Oops

2008-12-18T15:19:00.001-08:00

Wow- I can't believe I just posted that. I have to make sure no one in my class reads this blog. (Except for my friends)

Brat

2008-12-18T15:00:00.000-08:00

Well, I'm over the worst of it now, but today I was really annoyed at this brat in my class. I'm in the honors class, and in my opinion she doesn't deserve to be in that section.
Today in class I was just, you know, looking around the room, because our art teacher has all kinds of cool stuff on the walls. And she's sitting there in the back with her friends, being loud, and I glance back there and then look away. But too late, she saw it, and it's the most important thing in the world. So she says, "yeah, stop looking back here, I saw that. Yeah, I'm talking to you! DON"T ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME!"
I didn't even roll my eyes.
So then I look back at her, and she's just staring at me. Then she gets up, walks over to my table, leans in, and says, "DON'T ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME!"
So I stare right back, and in a low voice, say "I didn't roll my eyes."
Yeah, not the smartest thing to say, but so what?
Then she walks back to her table, swinging her hips and laughing like it was actually funny and like I was really embarrassed.
I wasn't, duh. The whole thing was pretty stupid, and that's my point. She makes a big deal out of nothing. You can't even look at her without being snapped at.
SO ANNOYING.

Hey, there's one in every class, right?

Here Again

2008-12-18T07:16:00.000-08:00

Well, I'm posting at school again. And let me say, it's not the best day I've ever had. I will specify later.

Sports and Ramblings

2008-12-17T18:07:00.000-08:00

Hey, My friend T made a blog too!!! But I didn't know the address until I realized that she was following this blog. Yeah, she's the only one. Ain't that somethin'?

You can find it at:

http://philliesrockloud.blogspot.com/

Yup, you better check it out right now. It's pretty funny, and I left a few obnoxious comments myself. Heh, heh.

'Nother late post- But I was ON TV!!!

2008-12-17T17:53:00.000-08:00

WOW!!! I still can't believe it!!! I was on WGAL news yesterday!!!

Relax people, I'm not a celebrity, it was like 5 seconds but they did ask if they could film me!!!

I was walking home from school, carrying my cello. A WGAL news van was at the curb and I walked past it, not really noticing it until a woman stepped out and asked me if her cameraman could get a shot of me walking home from school in the snow. Naturally, I complied, and the cameraman kind of followed me for a short stretch until they thought it was enough.

I tried really hard not to smile.

Later on, in the evening, we taped it and then, after a story on a family-run market closing down, I WAS ON TV!!! Oh, Joy!!!

CONCERT!!!

2008-12-17T17:49:00.000-08:00

Hey, today was our school concert!!! Went pretty well, I looked nice in my opinion but I wasn't that dressy, either. I play the cello, so I'm only in the orchestra, so we only played three songs. And, um, we weren't that good anyway. You know, I did not practice at all except for our school practices. Fortunately, I didn't make any mistakes and I didn't embarrass myself like I do sometimes at practice, like dropping my bow with a bang and clatter. Whew.

A day At Market

2008-12-13T13:13:00.000-08:00

On Saturday I went with Mom to market. In Pennsylvania, yeah, it's pretty cold by now. And my atrocious hair was frizzing and getting in my face. Unfortunately, I left my hair ties at home. I guess Mom was really annoyed by my whining, but we made it to teh post office, market, (where i got a quart of raspberry yogurt that i finished in like two days) and then on the way home, we stopped at a little tea shop called the Pemberley Tea Shop. It was a relief to be in such a warm shop, away from that dry, lip-chapping coldness. We each ordered a little pot of tea, with a teacake to split, and then went to sit down. I found a teeny-tiny table for two up against a wall filled with pictures and paintings. I squeezed my big fat behind into that little chair. In a few minutes, the waitress came up to our table and poured us our tea. Shortly after that came the teacakes with a big scoop of clotted cream next to them. Have you ever had clotted cream? It tastes really funky at first but then you get used to it. So, we sat and talked and sat and munched and it was great. We each had three cups of tea and the teacake for only $6!!! I will definetely come back and have one of their allegedly "fantastic incredible brownies". (My Dad makes a mean brownie himself!)

At school

2008-12-12T07:06:00.000-08:00

Posting is ever so much fun! Well, I should get back to my research!

J's Blog

2008-12-11T20:03:00.001-08:00

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that today, when we were supposed to be doing research, J created her own blog, because this site is not blocked from the school computers. You can find it at:

www.ijulia.blogspot.com

(She probably hasn't posted anything, though.)

Comments

2008-12-11T19:58:00.000-08:00

I've sent my friend M a lot of emails asking her to post a comment, but I still haven't gotten any comments. Today I figured out why.

I was posting something at her house, and I changed the layout, too. Once again I pointed out how I have never gotten a comment. Then she says:
"Sorry, I don't know how to post a comment!"

So maybe that's whats been keeping my friends from posting. Well, now I'll tell you how. At the bottom of each post, there is a little pencil thing that says 0 comments. Click on that, and you can leave a comment. I hope that clears everything up.

Almost Christmas

2008-12-11T13:07:00.000-08:00

Weell, it's almost Christmas, and I'm pretty excited. However, I still need to shop for my friends' gifts. (I already got M's and J's)

Unfortunately, it's almost concert season, and ours is in 6 days. I still need to buy a shirt.

Still sleeping in the new room, but is is so cold in the morning, I don't want to change.

My friends are fighting again.

I can't wait for Christmas.

Christmas Tree

2008-12-08T18:05:00.000-08:00

YAY!!! Today we got our Christmas tree. I even got my Dad to buy a new ornament for it, too. (YES!! M WINS AGAIN!!!) It's really cute and I can't wait to put our presents under the tree and hang our ornaments on its branches.

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum...

Fire Drill

2008-12-08T14:46:00.000-08:00

Today we had a fire drill in the middle of Spanish class, and we stayed outside for at least 15 minutes. Believe me, 15 minutes feels like twice that when you are freezing to death. And from the way it looked, somebody pulled the alarm as a prank. AGAIN. It is really annoying by now.

New Room 2

2008-12-08T14:43:00.000-08:00

The New Room isn't as bad as it seems. After I moved a lot of my stuff up and hung a poster on the wall, it looked a little better. And when I woke up this morning, I stayed up! I didn't just turn off the alarm and roll back over, no, I got up and dressed. I was ten minutes earlier than usual getting to my friend's house.

New Room

2008-12-06T10:38:00.000-08:00

I have some INCREDIBLE NEWS.

There has been really gross spot on my wall for a while. The wallpaper started getting moldy, and we couldn't find the problem until yesterday.

I live in one of those houses that is connected to two other houses, forming something that looks like a huge mansion house with three porches. Apparently a pipe in our neighbors' wall has been leaking and dripping water into the wall in my room. Now they're going to fix it, which is good, right?

Well, when I got home yesterday from M's house, I went up to my room and found... A HOLE IN THE WALL!

Now I have to sleep in a different room because there is a hole in my other one. We moved the bed into a spare room and I spent the whole afternoon bringing in some of my stuff.

When I asked him, my Dad said it might take 1-2 MONTHS before I could go back to my other room. So now I will be staying in that room OVER CHRISTMAS. It's not very cheery when you can't even sleep in your own room on CHRISTMAS.

Well, stay tuned for more posts, by me, M!

(Yes my friend and I both have names that start with M.)

One more thing!

Oh, I forgot, but here's a picture of me as a pirate!
lol!

My Friend, M (and J!)

2008-12-04T16:05:00.000-08:00

Today I'm going to do a post on two of my friends- M and another who we'll call J. Ah, what the heck, it's Maddy and Julia. Probably doesn't make a difference anyway. Besides, I'm putting up pictures of them, so what's the use of protecting their name? Anyway, in these photos we are on an elementary school field trip to the local Renaissance Fair. (Faire?)

Here we are , at the fair. I'm in the middle, Maddy's on the left, and as you know, Julia is on the right.(I had a ponytail, kind of, but I guess it collapsed. Oh well.)

This is a picture of our henna tattoos that we got from a little booth at the fair. Julia and Maddy have music, I have the moon and stars. (By the way, it was absolutely FREEZING that day so the henna like froze on our hands.) =D

Attention- little detail

2008-12-03T19:02:00.000-08:00

In case you are wondering, I am the one with light brown, short, fluffy hair. Yes, it's a terrible curse, but I live through it.

My Friend, M- A day at the Fair

2008-12-03T14:24:00.000-08:00

Today I will talk about M, finally. I guess I just never got around to it those other days.

This blog is about memories of the spring fair that comes to the park every May. These photos are about a year old.

This is a picture of me and M getting ready to go on the Swings, a ride that whirls the seats around.

This is M and I actually on the swings. It really feels like you are flying, and it is one of my favorite rides.

Here is M and I getting ready to go on the Scrambler, which spins you around. It feels like you might puke.

Here we are, actually on the Scrambler. As you can see, it moves very fast.

Well, that concludes the post of today. That sure was a fun day at the park. Tomorrow I will post again, with more good times.

My Friend, M

2008-12-01T17:39:00.000-08:00

For the rest of the week, I will be doing a series on M, and then maybe some other friends too if they want. I have sooo many memories and pictures of me and M, and I will post 1 or 2 new ones every day! I will have a picture, and then a short little paragraph explaining it. Maybe I could even get her to do a post here. Now that would be fun.
Stay tuned for more posts, I am SUPcake, signing out. ;-)

Blog Renovation

2008-12-01T17:21:00.000-08:00

Alright, I'm toying with the different blog settings here, so if I find something I like, I'm going to keep it. There will be some changes around here...

Feeling bad for myself...

2008-12-01T17:01:00.000-08:00

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?! Why is every other blog more pimped out than mine?! I can't believe this!!! Just because I've only been doing this for 3 months, doesn't mean I should still be basic like this! WAAAH!

Surprise for M

2008-12-01T16:04:00.000-08:00

HEY! The surprise worked! Isn't that great?

I got to her house, and called. She picked up the phone, and i told her to pick up the phone. She looked out the window, and i pointed to the cell phone. She nodded, like "Hey, nice... whatever" so i held up the phone for her to see. THEN she got it.

Sorry, M. =D

Surprise for M

2008-11-30T13:00:00.000-08:00

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

2008-11-30T12:53:00.000-08:00

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!!!

2008-11-29T16:18:00.000-08:00

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

2008-11-28T07:52:00.000-08:00

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.

2008-11-24T17:04:00.000-08:00

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