Right now I am super hyper and super bored. And its late too, I want to sleep, but I can't! I have an ortho early tomorrow morning too, witch sucks big time! Ugh. Kayla and Sue are leaving tomorrow morning, and Gina left today, so now all of my family will be at home. It has been fun, but Kayla wore me out. After we went swimming today, (which was way awesome!!! I saw my best friend Nicole from when I was in kindergarten/first grade! I was in this little thing that has a current so it drags you around, and I finally went up to her after staring at her face forever, because I just knew it was her! My God it was soooo cool! I was thinking in the car too that when I got home I should call her! I haven't done that yet.) Kayla came back to our house with us, and we hung out for a bit. She and Hannah kept taking my jelly beans that I got for Christmas, and Hannah had her own. It was super annoying. Then they started playing Sims on my compy, but whatever, I got a call from Colleen, which was a relief. I miss her a lot, I cab't wait until next Saturday when Eskimos starts. Too bad New Years had to fall on a Saturday so we can't go skiing! She also told me about this thing called Evergreen Skate err something like that, I can't remember. It sounds soooooo much fun, on New Years Eve, people go up to Evergreen Lake and skate all night, from what I understand, there are bon fires (that burn only of wood XD) so you can warm up, as I immagine skating outside at 11:30 has got to be EXTREAMLY cold. But I think I'm babysitting, darn. Ah well, I have to go, I think maybe I will be able to sleep! Got to get up early so my mouth can hurt! ByeBye!

So I am now listening to my new Simple Plan CD (Still Not Getting Any...) and I have to say, it rocks! Some of the songs are a little unnerving, and such, soo, I'm not sure what message they are trying to get out! Lol. But some of them are really cool, but none are too happy, but what ever! Yesturday I went to do all those fun exchanges and stuff! We first went to Aeropostale and I got a really cute outfit, well, it goes with the new jeans I got. And then these two cute tee-shirts and stuff. Oh ya! I got some cute socks too! ^_^ They were on sale. We then went to Gap, and I got some more jeans! Yes! So now my outfits are oficially complete! Then we all drove out to Park Medows mall to meet up with my aunts Sue and Gina. And Kayla too of course! Hannah and I left the mall with them, and went back to my grandma's house where I pratically fell asleep, I was sooo tired, and Kayla kept bugging me, grr, she was annoying yesterday! We hung out there for a while and then went to see The Incredibles, which I already saw with Alex and Mitch and some of those other people! XD. Disney likes to add way too many special effects, and such but that's ok. I came home after that, and played on my compy for just a little bit, but then my mom made me go to bed because I yelled at my sister for just barging in on me in my room, *rolls eyes* Well, I have to go, Sue wants to take Hannah and I swimming again, I don't really want to go because I didn't sleep last night 'till like 5 AM. Ugh. And I don't really like that pool, it doesnt have much there, the diving boards are ok, but they use sooo much chlorine that it makes me sick. Oh well. ByeBye. LE
Well, I'm a little tired right now, but I have something to say, so shut up and listen up! I personally believe that animal testing is just horrible! These people take innocent little baby animals like puppies and such, and do so many painful tests on them, and they probably have fun doing it! I mean, dissolving a poor little bunnie's eye , how is that going to help figure out what the reaction on a human would be??? Then they do this other test where they poision animals and just wait and let them suffer until they die. Some of these animals even die trying to escape! It's just sick and wrong! Animal cruelty is against the law, but do you see anybody interrfearing??? NO! It's soooo incredibly terrible! And it doesn't do one bit of good either! Well, that's all I have to say for now. ByeBye. Furious about animal testing, LE
Hurrah, it is almost the new year! And you know what that means! Staying up until midnight and not getting in trouble!! Woot! Of course, there is a down side for me, I have to babbysit 6 screaming little kids. First it was two, then 4 + my sister, and now 6!! Gah! It's just like last year, only at a different house. I wanted to like stay home and such, but now I can't. Oh well, I need some money, I spent it all on Christmas this year, but I didn't get that much. I was expecting an amount like last year's, but I got much less. Tch, not like I have to have anything, maybe I'll buy another expansion pack for my Sims collection (ok, the origional and two expansion packs don't make much of a collection, but you gotta start some where right?)! Well that is all I really have to say, so HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!! Woot! ByeBye!

I suppose that is the highlight of my evening, so you all get to hear about it! YAY for you! Alright, to begin...this morning I had an ortho appointment. It sucked too. Very painful. I now have this bend in my wire that will allow like only one or two of my teeth to move, so they allign perfectly I guess. And I have a new elastics pattern, wich is supposed to be the "finishing up pattern". I can't wait until I get mine off in April! When that incedent of torture was over, I got a Frappachino from Starbucks. Yum!! So basically that was my morning.
When I got home, my parents left to go oven shopping (which turned into a whole kitchen remodeling by the time they go home) and I played sims, I made up for those mistakes and things-gone-wrong, so now its all good! ^^ When my mom and dad finally got home, we left right away again, and went to PF Changs. Oh my God! It was soooooo good! Go there sometime! After dinner, we drove all the way to the Elvis theaters, the one where the tickets cost only 2 bucks! But the theaters are terrible, dirty and small. We saw Ray, a very long movie. Some parts were really sad, some creepy, but most of it was just plain boring I thought. It was all the same, he played songs, people like him more, he plays more songs, etc. etc. etc. Ugh.
Well, that's my day! I am going to go sleep soon! ByeBye!

PS: HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE!!!

I have been hanging with my family a lot latley, like today I went to The Ridge and swam with my cousine Kayla and Hannah too. After like three hours of swimming, we were sorta busy, we all went out to dinner at Burger King, (well I first went to Taco Bell ate some food from there, but then I had food from Burger King!). Afterwards we went to Jamba Juice. I payed for everyone, but Kayla wouldn't drink hers! Ugh. Finally we walked over the the Clair's across the street and shopped. I ended up buying a soccer lanyard and wrist band thing, two key chains (one says "Your laugh because I'm different, I laugh because you're ugly!", and the other says "There's more to life then boys, I just haven't found it yet!" ^_^)
After all of that, we headed back to my grandma's house where they are staying, and as soon as we walk in the door, my grandma comes running up to us saying "Where have you been?! Rosy (my mom) is hysterical!, (to me) Go call your mom right now!" Man I was freaked, not because I thought my mom would be mad, I knew she probably wouldn't be, but because my grandma yelled at me! She never yells at me! And plus, I don't really want someone screaming in my face, I was really tired (heh and I'm still awake a 12 in the morning!). So I talk to my mom, and she wasn't worried at all, she just wanted to know where we were because she wanted to go eat dinner, and wanted to know if we had eaten, but she had no way of getting a hold of us. We decided she should go out to eat with my dad, and Hannah and I stayed at my grandma's (thank God she calmed down) and played this dumb game with Kayla. It was really pointless, you went around the bored trying to collect money. The game was called Allowence, it was sorta like Monopoly, only way more boring, it lasts forever like Monopoly, but you only need to collect $20! Seems like it should take 10 minutes, but it was a really long game. Mind you, we kept goofing around, but still. So then! we watched this Samantha movie, you know the one's based off the American Girl book series? Well you guys wouldn't but what ever. My parents showed up when we were part of that way through it, and Sue (my aunt) begged my mom to let us stay. Not that I wouldn't mind leaving, I wanted to get home to my Sims! [I made a sweet (the cool way, XD) family and I couldn't wait to make it better, lol]
I finally did make it home, and I went straight to my compy. I played the game for a bit, then my mom begged me to get off, and such, so I watched Spidy 2!! YAY! I got it for Christmas, and wanted to watch it badly, but since I was always on my compy... Anyways, after the movie ended (at like11) I played the game again for a bit, but things went wrong, and so I didn't save it so I could redo it tomorrow, if my mom will let me, she wants to set "limits", ugh. And that's how I ended up here, typing this at 12 in the morning! Ok, well, that's all I have to say, so ByeBye, ttfn!

Yeah, sorry I haven't posted in a few days, I have been playing my new Sims games, the ones I found, turns out they were both for me, same with the CD! Yes! My Christmas was busy, I had to wake up at like 7:30 after that big family party and such, then we opened presents, which got delayed because my sister got a drum set and had to have it at least partly completed before we moved on. She woke me up really early this morning too, well it was early to me because I had stayed up until 2 AM playing my game. Yeah, she and the phone (and my new carebear gosh dang it!, I rolled over onto it and it went off, started singing to me!) woke me up. So then I just sat at my compy all day long playing the game. Finally my parents left to go shopping for a new stove, lol, and I did all that good stuff like eat and such. I at this Easy Mac stuff, just so I could bugg Hannah about how gross it was and have it be justified, and my God I wanted to puke! It was nasty, I can't see how she eats it but whatever!
After that discusting incedent, I went bowling with my two cousines, Katie and Dan. We had a lot of fun, and afterwards we drove around a bit, we had planned to go to Jamba Juice, but it was closed, so we stopped at Starbucks instead, then I came home. And now I'm going to go play my game some more, ByeBye!

Seeing as it's two minutes until midnight, it's also two minutes until Christmas eve! Yes, only one day until Christmas.
This year however has been particularly annoying, I really do feel that now it is way too comercial. And it's also not really Christmas anymore! I mean, for all the little pagents these days, all the songs and dialouge in them have nothing to do with the holiday or the religion. The government is trying to almost get rid of Christmas because of religious discrimination. It just so happens that our founding fathers were Christian, so they based the constatution on the ten comandments and God (along with beliefs of freedom, it wasn't based solely on God!). So most of the documents and songs and what not have some reference to God in them. The Pledge of Alligiance, it has the word God in it, so what does the government want to do because they don't want to offend people of other religions? They want to ban it from being said in schools! Padon my french, but that is just bull shit! It's the Pledge to our country, and they want to ban it? Pretty soon we'll have people who don't even know it because they weren't premitted to say it! FYI! You don't have to recite it you know. If your of a differnt religion, you don't have to say "God". But I think we need to pay tribute to our country and the people who created it, and died for it, and those who are dying for it now! "God Bless the USA". That is one of the most beautiful songs about our country there ever was! It's about a man who loves his country, and guess what? "God" is mentioned! *gasp!* For all of you people who don't believe, fine. I don't care, but you can't take away what is two centuries old because your afraid it will offend people! I mean, what if the founding fathers were Jewish? Would they try to take any reference of that religion out too?? You better believe it! I'm just so sick of these people trying to make Christmas not Christmas!!! There is a sign up at this church, Christ on the Mountain, it says "Put "Christ" back in "Christmas"' it's sooo true! You can't take out Jeasus because people may not like it! If they just want the gifts, create your own damn holiday! One where we don't have to worry about taking out "God" and stuff, pretty soon it will just be "Mas" because they'll have to take "Christ" out! I'm just so sick of it! Leave it alon, this holiday has been going on for thousands of years, this material is sooo old, and now it's all changing in four years because Bush is worried that people might get sad because they don't believe in Jeasus or God!!! And even if you don't belive in the whole God thing, don't you just want the holiday to be what it was, what it was supposed to be? Back where you got a few presents, they were things you could use and wanted, and you had fun, enjoyed spending time with your family and hearing music you have known to love? I do, and I think a lot of other people do too. Put the "Christ" back! Make up a holiday, I don't care, just leave this one alone!
Anywho, besides my debate on religion and the 21st centurary, I had a party today! I went to Amy's house and hung out with some of my friends. Here is what I got!
Mitch: An adorable little stuffed teddy bear, and a singing nighttime carebear, the carebear was his white elephant thing, and I got it.
Alex: A bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans
Jared: Did I get something from him? I can' remember, but then again, it is 12:30 in the morning!
Trevor: A card with a cute saying in it
Ben: A cucumber mellon bath set (it's even got a loufa!!!! score!)
Lana: Watermellon lip gloss
Amy: Chocolate, an ausome smelling candle and a lip balm!!
Yup, there's my list!!! Woot, once again, I cleaned out good! And tonight I have a big family party, and my aunts always spoil me! As well my grandparents! See? I am even getting caught up in all this commercial greed, but it's tradition, so I always get about the same amout of gifts, so that's ok isn't it??? Lol, I know it's not, but I can't help it! But to justify it, I usually end up getting clothes, lol! Ok, well, I have to go. Seeing as I sarted this post yesturday technically, maybe I'll post again later tonight, but last year I didn't get to go to bed after this party until like 1 in the morning, so we'll see! Ok, I'm out, ByeBye! Merry CHRISTmas to all of you too!

I got more Christmas presents today, woot! Meghan gave me a really fuzzy blue fleece throw (blanket), Pearberry shower gel, a really cute mug and.....CANDY! YAY for candy! As if I need more. Ah, well, onto today's over view!
Things have calmed down between my dad and I, as well as him and my mom. I think he's seen that we were mad at him, and now he's sucking up to us. It's sorta pathetic, but what ever, it's better then him screaming. I also had to babysit today, it wasn't too bad, all I did was eat stuff that I made them for lunch (I made extra for myself) and watch them play vidio games! But sadly, I haven't gotten paid yet. Their dad said Janet, the mom would be over to bring my my money but she never came! Oh well, maybe tomorrow! That's all for today really, so I'll be back tomorrow probably! ByeBye!

I have a question, why doesn't anyone comment anymore? I never have comments. I try my best to comment on other people's blogs, but there are so many, it's hard sometimes. I also have another question, do you think my posts are boring? Like do I post about stuff you don't care about and therefor don't want to read? I would like to know your opinions, so please, leave me a comment if you can, thanks. ByeBye.

Hurray! We are finally out of school for the hoidays! Yes! It was a cool day too, one of those goof off days in almost every class. Stupid Mrs. Rhodes, she's a Scrooge! Lol. But we got to do non-normal-school-stuff, like movies and candy and such. In reading we had to watch the special effects of The Grinch, and then in lang arts we watched the movie it's self. In band we had a party, and it was not all that great, there was food, but it just was a great as last year, that was ausome! We did get to finish Elf, it was a cute movie. But math sucked, a lot, more then usual before the break too! I had to watch the exact same thing as reading, it was sooo dumb! Gah! And science was odd, we got to goof off forever, but that was neat. I seriously almost hate Scott, he is sooo annoying, and he's really mean. Poor Jared, Scott has no room to say things like he did! My last two classes don't mean anything, so I'm gonna skip them.
Besides all the movies, I got a lot of presents too! Yay! Lesee;
Gina: cotton candh lip gloss, mango lotion and a three pack of orbit! ^_^
Sharon: a homemade candle!
Hayley: lip gloss and a charm!
Julie: some really good smelling blueberry shower gel!
Yeah, I cashed in good! Lol.
After school, I came home and watched TV, who cares right? But then I went down to get a better look at something I found last night. I had found two of my Christmas presents, or possibly even three, I think one is to share, or one of them could be Hannah's too. But inside this box was: Sims Deluxe Edition, Sims Superstar (YAY! ^_^) and the new Simple Plan CD. Yus! So when I went down there to get a better look at them because last night I saw them and had to look away because my mom was there, and I found a lot more stuff!!! I was looking behind this slab of wall basically (it's a piece of drywall that had to be removed) and there was a ton of stuff! All I could really see was an Ulta, well two Ulta bags, but there was soooooo much! This is the first year that I have ever found any of my presents, and even though I'm excited a lot, I'm sorta disapointed because I like the surprise of presents, but it is reasuring that I got at least one thing that I really really wanted! Possible two or three! And the thing of it is, I ran into them on accedent! I never looked for them, so this is sorta sad, I would think my mom would hide them better, I have never found them before! So I am happy. I am also really happy because of something that happened at school today, but I can't say what it is! Ok, well, I may go out to dinner at Red Robin and yes I know it's early, but I still have to go! ByeBye!

OMG! My day was sooo busy, and it was almost just as annoying! In reading today, Mr. Hovis was a big jerk. I have a C in that class because of his carless mistake! Damn him. Lang arts was cool, except we read this stupid story about people who sell their most prized possesions to get each other a gift that goes with their favorite thing! Stupid! In band we watched Elf, but I stayed turned around and talked to Alex, Mitch, Trevor and Alan most of the time, but what I did see was really funny! I want that move! And Spiderman 2! Anyway, then I had to have math, and I didn't have my homework done, which sucks really bad, my grade is still decent, but I wish I actually understood the stuff. Well, I take that back, I understand it, but the assignments are so long, I never do them because they like scared me. And Scott, he hasn't done any of his homework, the idiot. I seriousley dislike him now, he's sooo annoying, he's really stupid, and he's mean sometimes too! Gah! Science was strange, seeing as thumb wresteling isn't really my thing. Yes, thumb wresteling, I mean, it's stupid, it's pointless, and we do it anyway! We had people in our class bleeding they got so aggressive! My thumbs still hurt from it all! Lol. Social studies was the same as always, just like French, but today we got to eat Yule logs again. That was fun. I can't remember what we did after that, but who cares. I also drew really cool pictures on my hand and ankle! ^_^ After school my piano lesson got cancelled, so I got extra time for...shopping! YAY! I finally got it all done, well, all of my friends, except Ben (I had to get his birthday present instead, don't worry). And, while I was in the mall, I discovered a stye in my eye! Gah, it is sooooo friggin' painful! And when I was looking for Sharon and Hayley's presents, guess who I saw? Mitch's mom. It was wierd, she goes "Hey Ellie" I whirl around, and I don't reconise her at first, then I'm like "Oh God I'm stupid" and such. It was strange, but funny. I blew a lot of money this time too, like half of last time, but I spent all I had, gosh dang it! Oh well. So yeah, I had an interresting afternoon, I got to shop, wrapped an uber amount of presents etc. etc. etc....lol. Well, that's my day, I'll post later I suppose, ByeBye!

Ok, this song does not use the tune to "The 12 Days of Christmas" and I sorta don't know some of the words, but I think I know it well enough! ^_^
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first day after Christmas, my true love and I had a fight!
And so I chopped the pear tree down, and burned it just for spite!!
And with a single cartrage, I shot that stupid partirdge
My ture love, my true love, my true love gave to me!
The second day after Christmas, I pulled on the 'ol rubber gloves,
And very gently rung the necks,
OF BOTH THE TURTLE DOVES!
The third day after Christmas, my mother caught the croup!
I had to use the three french hens, to make some chicken sooouup.
The four calling birds were a big mistake,
For their language was obscene,
The five golden rings were completly fake,
And they turned my fingers green!
The sixth day after Christmas, the six golden geese wouldn't lay,
And so I shipped them all off too
the ASPCA!!!
On the seventh morning a surprise I found,
All seven of the swimming swans had drowned,
My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me.
The eigth day after Christmas, I boxed up all the...
8 maids a milking,
9 ladies dancing,
10 loards a leaping,
11 pipers pipping,
12 drummers drumming
*talking* Well actually, I kept one of the drummers!...*pause*
EWWWWWWWWW!
I told my true love,
We are through love,
And I said in so many words,
This Christmas time was for the birds!
Four calling birds,
Three french hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yay! I could remember it mostly! I think I got some words mixed up, but what do you think? Funny huh? Too bad you don't know the tune, it's a CCC one, so no one really does. Oh well!
Ok, well, that's mah song, ByeBye!

School sucks most of the time. Actually the only time it isn't so bad is when you can do what ever. Which doesn't happen very often, but I'm doing that right now. See, because I am smart, not to degrade those of you who aren't, lol, I got to go to the library for the past two days to do whatever. Obviously, I chose to use that time to tell you all about it, aren't you lucky? But I have to thank all of you who didn't do so great on the test, because only if a large number of people do not so great, and only a small amount of people do good, then we can go here and tell all of you about it. I think we should all take turns and then that way, we sometimes don't have to study, but everyone gets goof off days once in a while. Because that's what makes it all worth while, the days where you don't have to learn anything! Well, Amy and I have to go now, I'm gonna try to talk to Liz or whatever and then we have to go. So ByeBye everyone!!!

Warning!!! The following update covers two very busy days and may be very long!
Ok, so I am back from my ski trip in Beaver Creek. I suppose that Friday is inferrior and does not need to be told about, so I guess I will start with Saturday :) I went to the slopes for the first part of the day. I finally got to try my new friggin' board! I had a blast. My new friend Olivia was there too, and she had her first time on a board too. So I helped her and her 4 year old sister, Kara, learn with Olivia's friend Nicole. It was cool, Kara just got pushed (by me) up a small hill at the end of a run, only to ski down again and be carried up, over and over and over, but it was fun, and she was really excited about it. After a while when Olivia's parents and my dad came back from their time together, our families split up and went our seperate ways. My dad and I took off for some of the more challenging runs, only to find some had been closed off, and others got too hard, because they changed difficulties a part of the way down. So as you might guess, I fell a lot, and seeing as it was really icy, my butt got kinda bruised up, lol. So we met up with Olivia and her family and went to lunch at this really stingy resturaunt, and it was wierd because it was a fast food place! But what ever, we ate then they left because the kids were really tiered, but my dad and I stayed a while longer, until it got too late, and I got too sore.
When we got back to the condo, I took a rest and ate chocolate ^^ Hurray! However, we had to leave soon because there was this office party, one of the few reasons we were there in the first place. So we left and went to this really strange hall, or, uhhh...whats the word? Like a building made for parties like this. They called it a lodge, but it wasn't a lodge at all, hehe. There was this kids party that was really made for younger people, but we had to stay because Kara coulden't go the the "grown-up" party, and woulden't stay with out all of us there (us being my friend Manon [man-O], Olivia and me.) So we made little arts and crafts and the sisters had pizza, Manon and I were going to eat with out parents. After we finally got her comfortable and could leave her, Manon and I went to eat, and my God the food was soooo good!!! Sadly when I went to talk to some of "the office people" they took my food away :( But I went down to the kids place and ate a bunch of junk food, those people obviousley didn't know how to handle kids that age! There was cookies and pop, and sooooo much candy, and they were just handing it out to keep them all from breaking down. Which didn't help much, seeing as most of them were really little and needed their moms in order for the world to keep going! So, I went around after a movie and talked to all the parents and got set up for some babysitting that was proving to pay a lot! And, if I may add, it did!
After the party, I went back "home" to change and get ready to leave. Turns out, our phone wasn't working, so Thea, one of the moms I was working for had to come and get me. I guess I had hung up on here, I was trying to call her, and I thought I got the operator, when somone said "hello?" after I pressed 1. XD. So I get down there, and all the kids are behaving, they're all in bed and such, except for the baby, how convienent. Well, actually he was two, but he is such a momma's boy. But he is very cute, I gotta add. So his mother left, and he just breaks down. I mean he just won't stop screaming! I try everything, rocking him, talking softly, even singing (all the other kids were asleep, so I really couldn't sing loudly, XD) nothing worked! I once tried putting him to bed seeing if he would just cry himself to sleep, but I accedentally turned out all the lights, which scared him and he screamed even more. Then the phone rings. I pick it up and it's Josh's mom. We talk about how to get him to calm down, and then she has to go. But as soon as I hang up, he stops crying. I thought maybe if I move from where I was standing, he'll start again, so I stood in one spot for 20 minutes until he fell asleep. Luckily, I could put him down, and he slept for the rest of the night. Phew. But then, shortly after, this timer on the stove went off! It was really loud and I thought it would wake everyone up! But it didn't thank God! I still bruised my fingers trying to turn it back though, and it never would turn, so frantically, I broke a piece off (by that I mean, I broke off a knob) used it to replace the piece that broke off (I didn't do this by the way) and turned it off, my fingers were soooo sore though :(
After I got back from that job, I went to this other condo where Olivia was watching some kids. She felt sick, and was glad I came over, so she got to leave, and I took over for her until those parents got home. So it was really late by the time I made it back to bed, and I didn't sleep at all because my dad snores! I mean, like no other guy could snore this loud! I could hear him from the couch I moved to too! So I was really tired the next day, and it was busy too!
Sunday I had this concert thingy. I drove home from the mountains and when I got there, I had to leave almost that minute. We drove Hannah down to her CCC concert and then went to my flute choir one. We were standing around forever waiting for the group in front of us to finish. We finally get on, and I swear, it was sooooo cold I thought my flute was going to freeze to my lips! I had ice on it when I was done too! But we had to play forever, and all these people just stood around watching, and some just passing by. But the cold made me very sick. I had a headache and when Haley and I went to Starbucks, it was sooo bad, I thought I was going to pass out. I then had to go from store to store looking for my relatives who were meeting us there, but we didn't get into the resturaunt we wanted, so we had to go find them and go to another one. When they finally got there, we went up to Wolfgang Puck's, and ate there. It wasn't very great, and I almost go sick because I was feeling soo crappy. We finally got to leave and then we drove home. I had to go to bed at 7:00 and coulden't do my homework. So all my teachers were "dissapointed" in me again. Oh well, I don't care.
Today I will briefly go over because this is already so long. As you know, I didn't have any of my home work, so other then that there isn't really any news. I picked my science project to do, and all that stuff. OHH! I got to miss french today! I got a high enough score on my test I got to leave with Ivona, Amy had an ortho so couldn't go. Heh! Murfy's Law!!! XD. Sorry Amy, but it is sorta ironic! Ok, well I have to go now. I have another concert I have to play in at the high school at 6:30! Fun fun...NOT! So ByeBye everyone!!!

Ok, so this is a heads up, I won't be able to post until maybe next Tuesday. I'm busy tonight, so I'm putting in a quick one right now, 'cuz I have to leave in like 3 minutes. But then I'm going out of town until Sunday and such, but then I have a concert that afternoon, I'm hangin' with my family later, and on Monday, I have yet another concert. So it's going to be a really busy weekend, and the only way I'll be able post over the weekend is if my dad brings his laptop and let's me use it when I'm babysitting for all of his office peoples' kids. So I have a really busy weekend, and now I gotta go, ByeBye!

Well, I haven't posted in a while, and I forgot to tell you about my shopping trip with Lana. We didn't go! Yeah, my mom was being a jerk, so she woulden't let me go by myself. *mumbles* ahhearojsgknkjrhtjkahnbg. So yeah, it didn't work out to well. But I did get to go on Sunday, and I did a damn good job with spending $65!!! I still have like six people to shop for, so I hope my parents will pay up! I should get more around 200 dollars each year minimum for allowence (they pay me at the end of the year) but I think they do that because they won't have to pay me as much because they can't just give away $400 (including my sister) supposedly. And they think I wouldn't figure out their stratagies! How rude! *sticks up nose like Stephanie Tanner (from Full House)* So let's hope I can get all the right presents for my family and friends!
I'd tell you about my babysitting, only you would get really bored with it. Nothing exciting happened, except I got a big cut on my thum (it's not very big now) from a tape measure.
Ok, so today, I was really freaking out, 'cuz I left my flute on the seat of my ride's car. I had thought that I left it in the band room, so of course, when I get there, I am all freakin' out 'cuz I can't find it. But I did find it, in the car. Good thing too, I would have been grounded for the rest of my life! Not good! But aside from that incedent of horrific terror, my day was good. In reading we took this survey thing, so Mr. Hovis had to shut up, and I didn't have to worry too much about being talked to death. In lang arts, we wathced Alice in Wonderland, I don't particularlly care for the movie, but I really had no choice, and it is better then doing vocab work. And the whole crazyness of it all, it's really very amusing, the Cheshire Cat, he's great. So wierd, and he is sorta mean to little Alice, always saying and doing things to get her in trouble. But they are too proper in that movie, one of the main reasons I don't like it very much. "Well! They would do allfully well with some manners!" Common! But I am sad that we don't get to findish it, seeing as tomorrow is my un-birthday too! Ok, yeah, not funny. Band was strange, and I obviousley couldn't play, what with my lack-of-flute, XD. We got a new song, and it is odd, not much better then Instant Concert, I really hated that song, and Mr. C wouldn't let us burn it, we had to turn it in like sane people! Lol. Maybe he'll let us burn this song. Math was soooo super boring. But I thought it was funny, how many people he had to call out into the hall, those were all the people who were failing. Mr. Hobvis didn't find Alex's "You dropped your fish!" joke very funny, but it's still fun to say to people. Hmmm...maybe I'll do it to Danile Clarke, and see what he does! That ought to be good.
Science wasn't great, I think my grade is still slipping, mostly I bet because of the fact I didn't turn in the last science journal. But I got an F on a paper today too, and that is not helping either. Mr. R isn't to happy with our class grade average either. But I'm just glad that we aren't like third period, he's probably furious at them. Although, I have to say, the teachers can't really get mad at the kids grades, because, as long as they have a good reading class, their salary will stay good for CSAP. Ugh, I really hate that test. But still, it's not their fault if the kid get's bad grades if he/she slaks, and it's also not the teachers fault, if they are a teacher like Mr. R, if they just don't get it. So he can't, well shouldn't, get mad because it most likely doesn't have too much to do with the bad grades. At least my parents aren't wiggin out like I thought they would. But then again, I can tell them, they don't know that they can check my grades. Yes! Social Studies was not fun, book work, book work, book work, notes, notes, notes. And a test isn't gonna be too fun either. Oh well, I'll live, at least I didn't have a test in French like I was supposed to. That is definatly a good thing. Well, yeah, that's my day. And it's gonna get better, 'cuz Hannah will be leaving and won't be home 'till way late, score! So, see ya all later, I guess. ByeBye!

P.S. Today is my mom's birthday, soo woo hoo mom! Happy B-Day!
P.P.S. Lana gave me Jello!!!! YAY JELLO!

Ok, as you can probably tell now, I have a new song. I think it is a rather cool arrangement of the song too! And another really cool thing about it is that it's short so it doesn't go on and on and wont get annoying very easily! YAY!
So this morning I had that piano recital. It was so terrible, I wanted to barf at my own preformance. What was worse was that Sharon was there and I made a fool out of myself. And worse yet, if that's even possible, was that everyone kept singing to all of the songs, 'cuz this was a Christmas recital. That really made me mess up. I coulden't find my place when I messed up once for like 15 seconds, which is a long break for a song like that! Then afterwards all the parents and such were either saying "Oh, you did very good!" or "It wasn't your fault you messed up, it's hard to play with people singing like that.", both of wich did not make me feel very good. I have a feeling that Mrs. Hammer will be "dissapointed with me and my preformance". Ugh, I hate that word! It makes it sound like nothing will ever be good again because you messed up. Gah! There was one good thing out of it though, we did get brownies after everyone was done! They were really good too! And chocolaty! Yay!
Right now I can hear my garden hose outside my room. It is very very very squeaky and it really starting to get on my nerves! It's been running for the past half and hour too! It won't shut up! Stupid hose! Right now it sounds like a fire truck. Wee woo, wee woo. I want to just go turn it off, but my dad will get mad. He's cleaning out the gutter's so he can put up the Christmas lights. Don't know why he needs clean gutters to do that though, lol. But in a few minutes I get to leave and go shopping!!!! YAY! once my mom get's home I'm gonna go pick Lana up from her house then we're gonna go to the "Mills. Woot! After that I have to babysit, so I won't be able to tell all of you about it, but I'm sure you won't A) care B) notice and/or C) not be able to restrain yourself from breaking down because you won't know how my shopping spree was. Lol. Well, my mom's gonna be home soon, and that means I gotta leave soon, so I'll talk about shopping tomorrow and such, and maybe the hose will have shut-up by the time I get back. Hopefully! ByeBye!

Today we preformed our Instant Concert, and it sucked if I may say so myself. First we had to listen to the little kids do their concert, it lasted five minutes. And it was easy to scout out all the wrong notes, but that was fun and amusing. Then we played our selections and such. The point of this concert was to show parents what we were, what we are and what we will become. Sadly, for us there was like no change between the first and second objectives at all! The March for Christmas made us sound like the elementary band, and Instant Concert was just bad. Yuck, I did bad on my favorite part, maybe it's an omen for tomorrow's piano recital I'm playing in. *Gasp* Then we listened to the high school which was fabulous! Really! And to make matters better (you thought I was going to say worse didn't you???) Mr. Sulivan wants to take the high school to...*drumroll*.......HAWAII!!!!!! I have wanted to go back since the day I got back from my summer vacation there! Oh, it would be sooo cool! But it still is too bad we didn't get to go to Disney Land, Mr. C. is a real party pooper! *Cries* I love Disney Land, and I can't believe he would be so scared to take us there, lifes risky, and you gotta live it the closest to the edge you can! That or become filthy rich and go shopping every day, I could be content to do that!
In other news, I gots myself a new pen pal! Her name is Sam and she lives in Washington like Liz!! Woot, two Washington...ers! Lol. She's just like me too, well, to a cirtain extent. For starters, we both play flute in band and like anything/ anyone French! Score for Ellie!!! Well, time for me to go now, see ya everyone! ByeBye!

Man, today was crazy! In school, nothing too exciting except we have a new kid on our team, Scott. He's nice, but really shy, I hope we didn't freak him out too badly, because today, Amy and I were still joking around a lot, and laughing a bunch, and stuff, then she had a breakdown 'cuz Trevor stole her coat and threw it up on to the basket ball rim, XD.
After school I had a lot of stuff to do. First, right after I came home, I had to go to a piano lesson, and it sorta sucked. My teacher, her grandkids are always there, and they are tres pennible!! (really annoying). The two boys terrorise the cats there, and the older girl is super bossy! She is sooo preppy! So the siblings are fighting, and such and the mom is complaning that she can't check her email and all that crap. Then my mom came to get my sister to take her downtown to her CCC (Colorado Children's Choral) dress rehersal and I had to stay behind and make up all the time Hanna was missing, woo woo. So I stayed and praticed my sonitina which is really really pretty by the way, for what seemed like the thousanth time! Then my mom came back to get me and we sped to our house to grab some extra clothes for Hannah then rushed to the bank and Burger King, the very place I had vowed to never eat again *blushes*. Then we went back again to Betcher Concert Hall, picked up my sister, then rushed to Devinny (the elementary school) here we had to watch horribly off key kids sing and sing and sing! The play part of it (A Christmas Carol) wasn't bad however, but I wanted to smack the singing...people. But the guy who was Scrooge, he was really good! He was really cute too (in the little baby kitten sort of way). And that was the last "program" I will ever have to go to! *Rejoyces*. And I am debating on weather or not to try out for the school play, I don't think I'll make it, but I can memorize fast, so maybe I'll get understudy and a freak accedent will occur and I'll get to be in it!!! XD, like that will happen.
After I got home, I started taking all these pictures of me and my little authentic French berret, 'cuz a) I didn't have home work, and b) even if I did have it, I wouldn't have felt like doing it anyway. So I have a lot of pictures in an ausome hat!!! YAY for authentic!
So thats obviousley my day, and thus concludes this post! ByeBye.

I'm still really hyped up on caffine from this morning. It is starting to wear off however, so that's a good sign. But today during the movie, Katie and I kept talking the whole time. It was fun. The movie itself was...OK. I would, I guess, give it one and a half thumbs up. It sorta bore me, just, there's no truth to it, so who really cares about it. And naming their kid Ben Franklin Gates??? That's just dumb. Really really dumb. But hey, gotta look on the bright side, I got a cherry Icee!!!!!! YAY! YAY for cherry! I love the cherry! Ever since this one incedent, I fell in love with cherry flavored stuff, and I used to hate it!
So Amy and I were writing down the names for the Band-Geek-Christmas-Bash, and I have no idea why I am talking about this, because it is soooo incredibly random, and dosn't have a point, but I'm gonna tell you about it anyway. So we were taking down the names, and before we were swapping flutes, and having a fun time, we pretty much goofed off all day, and it was fun! And that's the end of my story, hoped you liked it! ^_^
Weeeell, that was my fasinating *not* day. ByeBye
