Thanks for all of your inputs on my last blog It really helped me to know your experience and advice!

I’m currently listening to Lisa Lavie’s youtube video of We Are The World. I really that song now. My friend showed it to me, and I think it’s amazing how she created it. She got a whole bunch of singers on youtube [not famous] to take part in the song We Are the World. The song is currently a support song for the people of Haiti. I think the song is just so moving and just so pretty. She did an amazing job, and especially all of those who took part in the song! I kind of like it better then the one with all the celebrities, but both are lovely!

Well I was a tad mad this morning when I found out that we got another snow day. This is our 3^rd this school year. We are given 2 every year, they set aside 2 days for snow day, and after that, we lose our Memorial Day weekend. At first it was Spring break, but apparently it’s Memorial Day. We all wanted school, because which would you rather have. A day, where you’d have to shovel, and it’s all bad outside, or a longer weekend when it’s sunny and warm? Most of us would want it when it’s nice out and warm! But oh well, I guess it is somewhat okay, but I kind of wanted school.

The storm is supposed to go all the way until tomorrow morning. I took a picture this morning of Casey [my dog] on top of a pile of snow She wouldn’t look at the camera though

I am also going to add some more of the photos to Oh Faux. I took this really cool picture using some accents in the picture. I was playing around with the settings

Yeah so I’ve been like super lazy with this site. I’m on break, and I’ve been like relaxing, watching tv, playing sims, and going out with friends. I’m trying to keep up with comments though. I’m trying not to get too behind. But sometimes, I reply to comments because I have to. I need to actually get into the mood to return the comments.

Okay so I’m in the 3^rd quarter of the school year. School is almost over, and in a matter of months, I will be graduating middle school and I will move on to high school. I’m excited for it, yet kind of nervous. My friend says how your friends will change and you’ll lose a lot of friends. My sister says that your friends don’t really change. It’s kind of hard who to believe because in a sense, it could happen either way. I think it really depends on who you consider your best friends. I’ve been best friends with most of my close friends since I was in Kindergarten. I believe that nothing will drastically change.

I will though, lose many good friends because many of them are going to like Catholic schools or they are moving. Not my really close friends, but some good friends are leaving. Pretty disappointing. Some don’t even have a choice to wear they are going to school.

Also, high school is such a big step in life. Maybe not as big as getting a job, or graduating college, but it’s still big when it comes to planning your future. I have to start preparing for college in 9^th grade, but yet, I am not sure what I want to be exactly. I always have mixed feelings because I am unaware if I can achieve my goal. I work really hard, though, I feel as if I won’t be able to become what I really want to be. I am not even sure what I want to be, which makes it hard to look for colleges. Advice ?

Do you ever worry that you can’t achieve your goal? How do you know that you really want to do something as a career? Do your parents ever expect you to go into a certain career? If so, does that effect what you take into consideration?

Ah, so many questions, and it’s just so confusing. I mean, this isn’t a huge problem for me, but I do get worried at times.

Questions!
1. Did/do you ever have these kind of questions flowing through your mind?
2. Have you been watching the Winter Olympics?
3. What kind of grapes do you prefer?

Answers!
1. A lot of the time.
2. Yes! My favorite part is the Figure Skating ;D
3. Green grapes !

So on Sunday Kathy told me that we are supposed to get a huge snow storm Tuesday night. Well we are! We were all talking about it today and the teachers were discussing what we are going to do if we have a snow day! We are supposed to get between 6-18 inches of snow, possibly more. I’m pretty excited ! We haven’t had a snow storm in soo long! It’s the perfect storm. They said that the storm is like two big storms coming together, or something like that. Pretty cool though I’ve been so tired, so I can catch up on my sleep

Oh, before I forget, can you vote for Kathy and I here? Thanks! It is actually for Kathy, but she wanted me to submit it, so she told me to.

Okay so the other day, I was talking to my mom [while watching the Cosby Show] about how Bill Cosby is so important in my life. When my sister and I were little, we would watch the Cosby Show all the time! It was hilarious! I told her that I’d probably cry if he died. I mean, he’s like amazing. He cracks me up all the time! Then I went on Twitter and I saw a trending topic about Bill Cosby. I clicked it. All of those tweets about him were saying how he died! I was like WHAT? So then I googled, and I found a news article saying that he just died! I was like WHAT THE FREAK. It was posted like 10 minutes after I just had that conversation with my mother. I was like, what are the odds?

I honestly got freaked out for a second, yet I didn’t believe it. Then I checked back a few minutes later and the article didn’t exist anymore on CNN. I was praying that it was fake. And it was! I was like, THANK GOD. I got so freaked out, and it was so odd how my mother and I were just talking about it!

Ah, yeah, well I have to go help Hemali with math! We’re using our big, fat graphing calculator. We’re learning how to graph like quadratics, and this exponential thing. Kind of confusing at first

Questions:
Ever use a graphing calculator?
What celebrity would you cry for?
Did you win any Namecheap contests on the Superbowl Weekend Trivia contest?

Answers!
Yeah, it’s really annoying, but it’s cool how they have games on some of them
BILL COSBY!
Yeah! Surprisingly, I had given up, and when I got home from school, I saw that I won, and was like NO WAY.

As I am typing, I am listening/watching the show What Not To Wear. The show is airs on TLC and is a show that helps teach people how to dress appropriately. Well today was their 250^th episode so they found someone who had the worst possible wardrobe they’ve ever seen so far. So yeah, this lady’s is pretty bad. She takes pillow cases and uses them as skirts! Like in past episodes, the people would wear like clothes that were either too reveling, mens clothes, or just too baggy for them. This lady wears pillow cases. That’s pretty bad. I mean, like she literally took the pillow case and just cut the end and made a skirt out of it. At least in the end, the lady will learn to shop right and not have to make anymore pillow case clothes XD.

This week was pretty lazy. I mean, I don’t want to get into the whole thing. Except for social studies, since it’s pretty odd. Midterms were pretty easy. I did well on them.

So during Social Studies we were taking midterms Thursday and Friday [today]. So here are some of the odd things that happened. Just before I continue, I just want to give you a 411 on stuff about my school. Well we have 9 classes that we attend everyday. Each class is 40 minutes long.

Social Studies 8^th period on Thursday. We go in, she makes us line up outside and she is individually placing everyone in seats because we have to be spread out for the midterms. We’re not allowed to get up once we get to our seat. So we sit down, and she’s like “DO NOT TALK THIS IS IMPORTANT.” So we are silent. Then she asks if any of us need a pencil or if we need to sharpen our pencils. Okay so those who need to sharpen their pencils raise their hands, then my teacher goes “Okay no ones allowed to sharpen their pencils” So then she gave us pencils and we started. Then she said “No questions until 5 minutes after the period, I have to do some business first.” So then we took the test. Then my friend raised their hand to spit out their gum and my teacher goes “Okay,, now just cause you kept raising your hand, no questions until 5 before the period ends.” We’re like WOW. How can you do that during a midterm? Not let us ask any questions and the fact that we didn’t learn a whole unit that was on the midterm. So then when she did answer questions, she was like “Run, Run HURRY UP,” She was soo annoying. There is so much more, but I should end this soon.

Questions
1. How is the weather currently?
2. Do you ever feel “inspiration-less”?
3. How long have you been web-designing?

Answers
1. Cold! We have a wind chill here ):
2. YEAH. I’ve been feeling “inspiration-less” this whole week -___-
3. For a little more then a year and a half.

So on my other site Dainty Hearts, I am planning on adding to the blog a bit by adding a little section about my crazy social studies days. I’ve experienced so many hilarious things since my teacher is a bit out of it. Hopefully I can get them up soon! I’ll add them whenever something hilarious occurs during Social Studies. Oh boy, there is going to be lots of short stories.

I added a bookshelf page, which is a list of books that I want to read. I went on the Barnes and Noble website, and I checked out some books that got good ratings and sounded interesting. My mom is planning on getting the book when she comes back from work today. I would go myself, but we lost my library card XD. I had received my first library card when I was in 1^st grade I believe or Kindergarten. We would take a class trip there, [which was down the block, literally] and we’d all get a card. I lost mine since then. So we just use my moms. I’m really excited to get started on the list. I will add on to the list when I find some more interesting books. If I like a book enough, I’ll write some more reviews on books. Yeah, so the first book that I want to read is The Last Song. If you haven’t heard, it’s being made into a movie and is going to be released in April. I really want to see the movie, and read the book. Any good book suggestions?

I don’t really like Fiction books. I did like the Twilight Saga, but not as much as other people. I like books that are more realistic, things that I can relate to or things that could really happen. I find them more interesting, in my opinion of course.

That reminds me, when I was in 5^th grade I believe, I read this book called the Orphan Train. It was just a short story that was in the reading textbooks that you get in elementary school. I really loved that story. It was about a girl who was on the Orphan Train and she remembers being sent there. Her mom had told her that she was going to come back someday, and the little girl was waiting there for her. Eventually, the girl’s mother never came and another family decided to adopt her. She didn’t want to leave, and she didn’t want to leave her friend. They told the women that her friend was actually her sister. The women though, would not take the friend. So then the girl had to leave her friend and she lost hope of her mom coming back. She ended up loving the family though. I loved that story. I don’t know why. I guess it was just touching to me XD. I wonder if I was to read it again this year, if I would like it. Who knows ?

Questions!
1. Favorite type of book?
2. What was your highlight of your day so far?
3. Long hair or Short Hair?

Answers!
1. Not really sure.
2. Home and Careers! We got to eat the meal we made
3. Medium

Haha so a little part of this blog will be about KATHY. Yeah, well she wanted me to blog about her [?] and I had nothing to blog about, so yeah. I haven’t seen Kathy in like a year. Haha we usually hang out in the summer since we don’t have school. I remember one time we played hide and seek. It was in the dark and we would scream so much because we would hide behind walls and just scare each other! Haha, it was really fun. We also played Badminton in my backyard. Then we would end up having a BBQ outside Her and her sister are so much fun to hang out with. As Kathy would want me to say “She’s Kewl Kathy”

So like Sandy just left my house. She stayed for a few days at my house while she was visiting here in New York. She use to live here but over the summer her and her family moved to California. She has a little sister that I mentioned way back when [Nicole] who wasn’t able to go since she had school. But my sister is going back to school so Sandy is going to stay at her boyfriends house. I hope we see her and Nicole soon! We enjoyed her stay though!

I have midterms coming up. It sucks. The day we left for winter break we had heard that we were not going to have midterms because we have a lot of tests coming up. Then the day we came back, we learned that we have midterms in 2 weeks! We were like, WOW, and we’re a month behind in Social Studies. Our teacher was out in the beginning of the year because of family problems and she was out for like 3 weeks. We didn’t get a permanent sub or anything so we didn’t learn anything. It was pretty much a free period. And my teacher gets distracted REALLY easily. She’s like “QUIET DOWN, I NEED 30 MINUTES FOR MYSELF” while we have a 40 minute period. So then she wastes all of it doing nothing. She is also horrible with computers. She was like “It says I have caps lock on, how do I turn it off!” We’re like WOW. She didn’t even know how to minimize a page -__- She was like “WHAT DO I CLICK?” She cracks us up though XD. She’s like such a random teacher

I am starting my language midterms next week since we have multiple parts. We have speaking, reading and writing. My teacher said that she has to change the format because of the lack of time we have. So instead of doing individual speaking we are doing paired. But the problem is we are doing a Unit test which has speaking, reading and writing, just on one unit. The midterm is made of all of the Units we learned this year and last year. So yeah, my dialogue that I did on Friday was pretty good. We had to do a dialogue about Leisure. I had to persuade my friend to go Bicycling. We had a lot of fun preparing the dialogue though

So yeah, enough with this random blog. Here are the questions!
1) Least Favorite Class? 21^st Century Skills or Social Studies
2) Is there anyone you haven’t seen in a long time? Nicole, Amanda and Kathy and Kelly! (:

• Book Review: My Sister’s Keeper

I hope everyone had a great new years! I had a great time. I hung out with my sisters friends [Eric, Erin, Meera, Radha, Carlos, Natalie, and Meera and Radha’s cousin from Australia]. It was really fun! We played a bunch of random games such as Taboo, Mao and we watched Four Christmases.

Taboo is a game similar to charades but the idea is kind of opposite. You are not allowed to make any hand motions, instead you have to describe the word with words not on the card. If you do, the other team gets the point. Well we played that [Twins vs. Non-Twins with the exception of Meera and Radha’s cousin]. Haha the Non-Twins lost. The Twins team claimed that they have twin telepathy. Haha, it was close though.

Mao is a card game. In the game, one person is known as “Mao.” Mao makes the rules. The person who is Mao does not explain the rules. The rest of the players have to figure out what the rules. They receive penalties and they have to figure out the rule themselves. It is a really fun, but hard game. Usually everytime someone wins, they add a rule to the game. Then the rules get longer and longer. It is really fun when you have a lot of people because you learn faster. I use to be HORRIBLE at it, but now I understand it.

Then on New Years, my sister, my cousin and I went to the movies. We saw the movie Avatar. I really wasn’t that into it because I didn’t know what it was about, nor did it seem like the type of movies that I would prefer to watch. The movie was AMAZING. I loved it, and I really want to see it again. The movie settings were so beautiful and everything seemed so real, even though most of it is animated. We read on Wikipedia that they started filming the movie in 1994. They decided to wait for technology to “catch up” with them before they released the movie. The movie really paid off after all those years. It was just so realistic and just awesome. I would so buy it on DVD when it comes out!

Today my sister’s friend came over. We watched the Pokemon [the first] movie. I felt like such a baby because I almost cried when Pikachu was getting weak from the evil pokeballs. I was like NOOO! Just the sound of Pikachu makes me go AWW Then afterwards, we played the game Rummikub. We got that game for Christmas and we really like it. We were teaching my sisters friend how to play it, and yeah. It was funny! He didn’t get it and was like AHHH! Then I won, then they gave up XD. They both had bad numbers left !

Afterwards, we played Mario Party 8 on the Wii. It was SOO much fun! We played on the Tycoon one. That one is like Monopoly. You spend coins on hotels and the person who has the highest investment gets stars. You can easily lose the stars if someone else placed a higher investment in it. We decided to make it interesting by playing for 50 turns. It took us like 4 hours, and by the time we were down to our last 4 turns, my sister’s friend’s dad comes to pick him up! We were like NOOO XD. But we saved the game and we can continue when he comes back.

Well break is almost over. I have school and tests when I come back. I also have to decide on what classes I want to take in High School. I ALSO have a meeting at the High School about everything. *Sigh* already leaving Middle School & I STILL don’t know where things are XD.

Anywhoo, before I forget, me and Kathy are holding a Domain Giveaway together. We have been planning it for a few weeks and we decided to put it up in the new year. You can nominate someone here!

Whoa, this blog is long, but I am going to end it with questions still!
1) Favorite group game?
2) *Random* Do you prefer showering at night or in the morning?
3) If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Answers:
1) Taboo!
2) I don’t mind when, just as long as I am clean ;P
3) Hmm, I think I would stay in New York

New Layout! & New website!

Haha I am so sorry for being SO slow on comments. Holidays make me lazy. I was out a lot and I don’t get online till late at night. See, right now, it is 1 AM. A tad late for writing a blog, but otherwise I won’t have time tomorrow.

Hehe how was everyone’s Christmas? I hope to all the people that celebrated it had a great time. I got a couple of cool things. Not much, since I think as I get older, I just get money. I think that happens to a lot of people. When you are little, your aunts and uncles know EXACTLY what to get you since you are little and you’ll like anything. When you get older, you are picky with your clothes, games, etc. But I like getting money. I am hoping on getting a reseller from some site…if I can find a good site that is not that expensive and has good uptime. Eh, I’m trying to do my research, but suggestions can be helpful

Well so I’ll mention some of the things I got. The big thing was a tablet! A simple Bamboo Pen tablet. I like it though. It works really well and I am planning on using it for stuff on my portfolio on my other site. I need help with some things I should add to my portfolio since I am totally clueless. I also got a sweater from American Eagle, but in grey. A sweater dress from Max Rave, which unfortunately they don’t have a picture online, and I am too lazy to take one at the moment. I got a long sleeved shirt from Aeropostale. I got TONS of things from Bath and Body Works. I got 5 shower gels, 4 lotions, 4 body sprays, 1 lipgloss and a loofah. Yeah, the body sprays are useful. I use them a lot since they smell so good on my clothes. I use to only have Fresh Pineapple, but now I have Butterfly Flower, PS I you, Warm Vanilla Sugar, and Sea Island Cotton. I also got Avon lotions since my friends mom sells them. I also got a few movies. My dad got 4 Christmases, which I watched and was soo funny. I got My Sister’s Keeper, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, and The Proposal. I had bought them on Black Friday, but I saved them for Christmas. Oh and I got a Panda Key Cover thing or whatever you call it from Urban Outfitters. Also, a Tokidoki keychain It is the one at the bottom right [red superhero one]! It is cute, I put it on my phone !

Okay so enough about my presents. Ah I was reading Simone’s blog and she said how it was her last for the year! She is right! Ahhhh amazing 2009. LOVE IT. Haha, I just want to end it on a high note Anyone watching the Ball Drop?

1. Suggestions for Paid Domain Hosting? I dont know.
2. Get anything good for Christmas? [If you Celebrate it] Yes, and I am very grateful for them :D
3. Current Song Stuck in your Head? My Name is Jonas from Guitar Hero III XD

OH YEAH. I keep forgetting, here’s everyones gift! I made it last week and I forgot to upload it -___- *sigh* my laziness
Lame Holiday Gift

Added 26 new photos into the Photography section!

Weeee! Lots of snow ! We got about 14 inches! My cousin got 22 inches ): Ah, i wish we got that much. But then again, shoveling? That’ll take forever! It already took forever to shovel the driveways and the pathway Ah, hopefully the snow will stay until Christmas ! Who doesn’t a White Christmas ? I got so tired after shoveling. I fell asleep in the afternoon for like 2 hours. And I didn’t even get to make my snowman XDD.

Hmph. School tomorrow. I have a Science quiz. I also have to finish my Social Studies project. Blah, such a stupid project XD. Well, I finished, I just have to check it over and what not. So, am I the only person who has school still? I mean seriously, who has school the day before Christmas Eve? I think that’s ridiculous since what if someone wants to go away? They’re going to leave on Christmas Eve? I think that’s pushing it a little, but whatever. It’s my schools problem

Owwww. I have a paper cut on my finger, and it hurts so much. It’s like right on the bend on my finger, and it burns XD. Pooey. I hate paper cuts!

Oh yeah, this is my formspring, so ask me something

I’m so excited since my sister is coming home tomorrow night! She has one more final then she is coming home for like 3 weeks? Around there, but yeah. We have a lot of catching up to do Even though I talk to her pretty much everyday on the phone, or on AIM, it is still nice to really hang out with her.

On Wednesday, we are having a Christmas Party with our friends. 6 of my closest friends and my sisters friends are coming over. I am giving them their presents then, since their gifts I can’t bring to school since they are bulky. I got like 25 of my friends gifts. Haha yeah, most of them are like little small things from Bath and Body Works. They smell so yummy XD. I’ve been wrapping presents for who knows how long. I do a little everyday I just need to get my cousin something and I’m done ! Hah FINALLY !

So yeah, this blog is so random. Have to go eat. Quick Questions!

1) Ever get a paper cut?
2) Excited for 2010?
3) What did you think of 2009?

1) YEAH, I hate it.
2) Yeah, but I’m gonna miss 2009!
3) It was great

Did you ever go in a pet store, the ones where you can bring your pet dog or cat? I went to a local pet store that we go to for pet supplies, and it was so cool to see all of the dogs there. There were big ones and small ones. It’s not that I’ve never been there before, but we don’t go a lot since our dog food lasts a long time XD. I walked in and I saw this huge dog. Not as big as a Great Dane, but it was really hairy. It looked like a really fat and light colored Golden Retriever. But I know it wasn’t that. We bought Casey [my dog] some pet food, shampoo, a christmas present, treats, and this spray that makes a dog smell good. Like body spray, but for dogs. It’s cool, I wonder if it’ll work. And we also got to like make a custom bag of dog treats at this little station they have. It’s like a dog salad bar XD. You get a bag and you fill the big with a whole bunch of treats and it was $4 per pound. I got a bag of treats for my cousins dog, Lucky.

Ah on Monday during Health class. We were learning about stress and dealing with stress. Monday, we did an activity to help us relax and relieve the stress from our bodies. We did this meditation thing. It wasn’t your typical meditation though. We would close our eyes and she would talk really softly and described to us what was happening. It was really soothing. We were actually allowed to fall asleep during class! It was awesome. I couldn’t really get totally relaxed since I just kept laughing. But last Friday, my friend did the meditation as well, and she said that this kid got a nosebleed from it. I was like -___-. How do you get a nosebleed from relaxing?! It was so funny

Weee! Only 8 more school days for me until Christmas break! I’m so excited. This past week though, was torture. It took so long. I thought I was never going to make it. I know I say this a lot, but I am serious. Usually I think it’s slow, and then when its over I’m like “Wow that was fast”. Yeah, I never said that once this week. Ah, don’t you hate when your week goes slowly, plus when you’re unproductive?

Thanks for all the wishes for my concert from the last post. Yeah, if I didn’t tell you, the band messed up. Badly. They must’ve been a measure or 2 off casue when we all paused, they went full speed, loud and clear. It was hilarious. All of the orchestra kids were like “Tsk, Tsk” It was funny though. After our last song, we were all like “Wow band, and you guys always said you were better then us” Ha, we proved them wrong, well at this concert

Questions

Are you scared of the future? Yes, one of my greatest phobias
Which do you perfer, Summer or Winter? Summer, definitely.
Did you get your friends any Christmas presents yet? [If you celebrate Christmas] Yess!

Well tomorrow I have my Winter Concert. I have to be there by 6:45 and it is probably going to end at like 8:30-9. Maybe later, depends on how long each group takes. This is the line up for the concert.

• Orchestra: 3 songs
• Full Orchestra: 2 songs
• Chamber Orchestra: 2 songs
• Chorus: 4 songs
• Vocal Soloists
• Band 2 songs

I’m not sure about the band and chorus. I dont know how my songs exactly, but that’s what I heard there are. So I’m in Orchestra, Full orchestra and Chamber Orchestra. So I am playing 7 songs straight -_____-. Our Chamber songs are really hard, but I practiced them so much so that I can play it. I have a rehearsal for the concert tomorrow during school. I get to miss 3^rd, 4^th, and 7^th period. Yay! Ha, I concerts. We don’t do that much work because people are at rehearsals. And the teachers feel bad and they think we wont have time to work on our homework, which is true though ;D

I am also helping out at the 6^th grade concert which is Thursday. I have to be there at the same time, but I don’t have to stay the whole time. Nitasha, Megan and I decided to volunteer and help out. I helped out at the 8^th grade concert last year, but this year I’m helping out with the 6^th since Nitasha and Megan’s sisters are in the concert. They also need community service hours for Honor Society. I got my hours during the summer, so I am done. I get to go on the trip to NYC to see another Broadway play I wonder what we are going to see? I’m excited to find out ;D

I also have a Leaders Club meeting sometime this week. We have to decide what we are going to use the money we raised for. We had different holiday charity ideas, but we are deciding this week. We raised $3000 at the Halloween dance and we are donating it all to a charity. I really want to donate it to an orphanage, but we also might help out at a Cancer “Fun Day” event. Either one would be cool.

OH YEAH. I totally forgot. I bought a new domain and I got it hosted by Tamara. Visit it here. Yup, my mom finally said yes, and I was like “WHOA, okay!” XD. It was exactly 9.17 for the .org domain. I got it from Namenova which is where we paid for my sisters domain and it’s a great place to register your domain name. I moved subdomain hosting there since I dont have much space on Paper-Cranes. I might move Paper-Cranes there, but I really don’t want to leave Bubble. Haha, I just being in the Bubble community ! XDD. Eh, I’ll think about it. You can apply for hosting there and just keep the current hostees on Paper-Cranes. But new hostees will get a .daintyhearts.org subdomain. Eh, what do you think? Any suggestions? That would be really nice

Questions

01. Do you ever run out of blog titles? Hahah yes, all the time. Oh by the way, the title to this blog is one of my orchestra songs XD
02. What do you think I should do, move Paper-Cranes or not? Eh, I don’t know.
03. What’s the weather like currently? Super sunny, but super cold.

My Thanksgiving break is over. I am going back to school tomorrow. *sigh* Well, it isnt that big a deal, since I like seeing my friends at school. They make going to school worth wild! Ah, I didn’t see many of my friends over the 4 day break. I only saw one of my friends. I did see my sister’s friends though! My sister came home from college for the break and we hung out with her friends. I them! They are like family to us!

Every year, firetrucks in my neighborhood go around with Santa on them and they through these popcorn balls onto our lawns. It is their little gift to us for the upcoming holidays. I didn’t get any though. This weird little girl goes around our streets and takes everyones when she sees the firetruck going down the block. The girl took ours -_-. I remember last year, I was about to go and get it, [literally walking across the grass] when the little girl runs and takes them! I was like WOW. I’M LIKE 3 FEET AWAY. Haha, so yea. That’s why I’ve never had those popcorn balls before! My neighbor gave them to me since she doesn’t eat them. I don’t really like them though. I’d rather prefer eating regular popcorn rather then popcorn balls. Eh whatever, I’ll give them to my friend Kristen, who loves them!

*GASP* I just found Casey lying on her STRAWBERRY bed! LOL My sister bought her a little strawberry looking bed for Christmas last year. Casey really likes sleeping on her normal bed, but she was randomly sleeping on the strawberry! I took a picture to show you guys It’s kind of dark . Ha, and you wont really see the strawberry shape/look of it. But, oh well, I think she looks adorable!

Haha, yea, here’s a full view of the bed:

Yes, it’s dirty XD.

Questions!

01. Favorite smell? Home baked cookies! YUM
02. Favorite smiley? Hmm it is between and xD and :P
03. Last book you read/are currently reading? Currently, My Sister’s Keeper

Happy almost Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it ! I hope everyone who is off enjoys their break! My parents are making Turducken for Thanksgiving. If you dont know what that is, it is a Turkey with a duck inside it and a chicken inside the duck. Yes, we will have leftovers for who knows how long afterwards It is just so yummy though! I have a 4 day break, including Saturday and Sunday. I am gonna spend time with my cousins on Thanksgiving at my house, and we are def. going shopping on Black Friday. Me and my sister have been looking through the ads for any good sales. We are definitely going to get some movies. We are gonna get Up, My Sister’s Keeper and any other movies we can get cheap! I wanna get The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, since I got the first one last year for $2. I dont mind that it came out a couple of years ago, its a good movie and if it’s cheap, why not buy it?

Hehe well, I am trying to convince my parents to get me another domain and possibly paid hosting. We might get a reseller so that me and my sister can share the same plan but have separate Cpanels. Hmm, we’ll see. I am in no rush to get it. I just need help thinking of a name.

Oh well, a few people got their report cards on Saturday, but I didnt I know my main subject averages though! Here they are: Math: 96, Science 98, English 96, Social Studies 99, Italian 100. Whoop! Haha yea, I’m a nerddd Psh, I’m suprised I got a 99 in Social Studies. My teacher is really not that good, and she gave us only one test this whole quarter! It’s like 10-12 weeks of school and 1 test. -____- we are dreadfully behind in Social Studies.

Well, I have a terrible cold. It is mainly just an extremely runny/stuffy nose. I absolutely hate it. BLAH. But while i was sick, I got to make a cool emoticon set. I was really bored since my parents went to visit my sister and I didnt want to go since I was sick. Besides, I am going to see her on Tuesday when she comes home.

Haha well I shall end here becuase I have an annoying throbbing pain in my head.

Questions

01. Any good domain name suggestions? I can never think of any good ones
02. Ever hear of Turducken? Yeah. My parents made it sometimes last year.
03, Favorite snack to munch on when you’re bored? Fruit; strawberries, grapes, nectarines, peaches, apples, etc

Ahh yea, so Friday, the first quarter of school ended ! WHOOP! I made it through a quarter. Now, next mission, make it through the 2^nd and pass the midterms. This year, the school added another final. We are gonna have Math, Science, English, Social Studies, Italian and now, Health. Blah, 6 finals. That sucks. Thankfully, this year is my last year in the school, so I only have to take it this year. If I was in 7^th grade this year, I would have to take it this year, and in 8^th. I should get my report cards by like next week or something. Maybe if I’m lucky, I’ll get it on Friday ! I just wanna see how I am doing in my classes. I think i actually did good in gym ! That would be a first.

Right now, I am looking at Black Friday Ads. For some of you who don’t know what Black Friday is, it is the day after Thanksgiving. A few years ago, we would stay up all night outside waiting for the stores to open on Black Friday. You probably think I am a freak since it is almost winter, and I use to stay up all night, outside in the freezing cold. Well, we stayed up because you can get really good things if you stay up late. We stayed up one year for a laptop that was half the original price. Then the next year, we stayed up to get a flat screen TV. Last year, we didnt stay up, but in the morning we went to the stores to go shopping. We got lots of stuff, clothes, like 20 DVD’s, games, etc. Oh, how I Black Friday. What great bargains! I wonder if we are gonna stay up this year…depends if anything worth staying up for is on sale.

So I’ve been thinking about getting another domain name, but my parents arent letting me get another one, at least not anytime soon. They don’t understand the whole thing about having multiple domains. Maybe, if I sit down and explain to them, they will actually understand. They arent very website-savy XD. I am hoping to get a free one, somehow. Got any suggestions? I want to use the domain as like a personal site, with like my doodles, blog, and just random stuff, since I have a wordpress blog, and hosting but its kinda annoying since I cant like personalize the CSS without paying. Hmm. *Sigh* XP

Questions
1. Do you ever go shopping on Black Friday?
2. Suggestions on a way to get a free domain? Competitions? Something?
3. What shampoo do you use ? [RANDOM :D]

Answers
1. Yup ! So much fun
2. Hmm you tell me please !
3. Head & Shoulders ! XDD

So here are the 2 pictures, yes, my webcam sucks at taking pictures..

An actual update: New Premade !

Happy late Halloween! Yesterday was so much fun! If you didnt know, I went as a crayon! It was mad awesome! I wanted to take a picture but I am too lazy to XD. We got lots of candy! We started at 3:30 and I got home at 9:15. I wasnt out until 9 trick or treating though. We went to my friend Kristen’s house at like 7:30 so then we just hung out around her house. It was so much fun! We had pizza and we went through all of our candy, trading and throwing out the bad ones. I was so pissed off when we before we started trick or treating though! Okay, so we picked up my friend Hemali and since there were some little kids trick or treating, I put the candy outside. I had 40 bags of candy. I came back like 10 minutes later and all of it was gone. Then I saw this group of teenage guys walking away and I am pretty sure they took all of it! I was like WHAT THE HECK. Then I had no candy to give out and it wasnt even 3:30 yet! So I just got any old candy that I had and I made a crappy basket of candy. But surprisingly my friends like the candy I put out XD. I was still mad how they took all of those candy! I hate when that happens! So then we went started trick or treating. We met up with Nitasha, Megan, Christina, and Maria. Then while we were walking we were supposed to meet up with some guys from my school and they like attacked us! They brought shaving cream and they got it all over us! It was so funny though! We were like screaming like crazy XDD. Then we ranaway from them After that we went to our friend Jennie’s house. We then met up with our friends Arielle, Jennie, Kristen, Kristin, Victoria, Jessica, and Carina. We went trick or treating for a while, then some of them went back to Jennie’s and me, Maria, and Jessica decided to go trick or treating by ourselves since Nitasha, Kristen, Hemali, and Megan got separated from us. We ended up getting lost since we weren’t familiar with that part of the town. It was so funny, we were like asking people where this street was and stuff. Then we managed to find our way back to Jennie’s house. We all met up again and Maria, Megan, Kristen. Hemali, Jessica and me went to Kristen’s house for some pizza YUMM!

Other then Halloween, things have been pretty hectic. Plans for Halloween were very confusing since like half of us live at one side of town and the the rest of them live on the other half. Then like a bunch of people got sick and stuff. And yea, I got pissed off on Friday because like everyone was calling me about it. I’m happy that it all worked out though! School’s taking up most of my time and my mind XD. I have like so many tests and I have Cross Country and I have meets and meetings and a bunch of projects and homework! Thankfully though, Cross Country is ending on Wednesday! I kind of need a break so thats good. I have one more practice and our last meet! WHOOT WHOOT! But ugh, Wednesday is going to be so busy its not even funny! I have a meet that will probably end around 6 or 6:30, but then after that, since it’s a Wednesday I have religion! That starts at 7:15! I will get back at like 8:40 and then I still have to take a shower, eat and do my homework ): I will be going to bed late…I hope I can get my homework done during school! Since Cross Country is ending, I will be getting home earlier which is great because then I can do my homework earlier and go on the computer more ! XDDD YAY I will actually be able to do something with this site! Well, if I’m too busy to reply to comments, you can talk to me on Twitter! Lets pray that things will calm down

1. Do you take a language in school? If so what language?
2. What is your favorite TV show?
   Yupp, ITALIANO
   I think, ghost whisperer

I will be on twitter daily, so you can chat with me there, but here I’m going a bit slowly. Sorry! Sports will end soon next week so then I will have more free time !

I AM IN GRAVE NEED OF BOOTS….my feet are freezing at school, home, everywhere. LOL, well since oil is expensive in all, my parents dont want to put the heat on yet. So I am pretty much freezing at night and especially in the morning. I now sleep with 2 comforters, and 5 blankets. It’s so toasty! My dad also like raised the heat like 5 degrees, so I guess I’m kind of satisfied now. But I still want some boots to keep my little toes warm outside. Got any good like boot brands? I want like ones that are like warm inside

Pshh, so pretty much like in every blog, I talk about school. Well this time it will be super short. I got my cross country sweatshirts today! My friends mom got them for us, which is really cool! The sweatshirt is super warm and it makes me feel so proud to actually be on the team and how this as like a memory from it and you know I have to say this but, SCHOOLS STILL SO HECTIC.

NOW, I’ll just talk about random stuff:

Well tomorrow, I’m going to visit my sister at college. She came to visit last week, but this week we’re just gonna visit her again then I wont see her until Thanksgiving. I hanging out in her dorm. It’s fun! She is a bit homesick since it is her first year away from home. Especially since me and my sister are so use to having our mom or dad take care of us. She’ll get use to it Yea, so with that I wont be on tomorrow, unless I go online there, maybeee.

I was thinking during Italian today that I have a serious problem. I have a fear of being alone. I freak out when I find out that I will be alone in something. I use to hate going to camp because I didnt know anyone. I was painfully scared to run in today’s Cross Country meet because my friend Maria, who I usually run with, hurt herself and was not running. I also don’t really like going to religion because I dont have any of my good friends in that class. I use to also freak out about the day when my sister went to college. I was scared to be alone without my sister. Now, thats not that much of a problem, but it use to be a huge problem. I was soo upset that I would cry for hours constantly about how I would be alone when she left. I’m weird…I know

QUESTIONS!
1. What kind of boots should I get?
2. Are you scared of being alone?
3. Do you think too much?

ANSWERS!
1. Hmm I don’t know, you tell me
2. hah YES.
3. always, thats why I get scared.

Oh yea, so today I had my first Cross Country meet, and our school got 1^st! There were 29 girls and I got 5^th :D. I was pretty shocked, our school did really good! Well the object is to get the least amount of points. So that means since I got 5^th, my team only gets 5 points, and our school got the first 6 places. So that helped us a lot! We were like so happy! Especially since it was our first meet. And sadly, the day before the meet, I GOT HURT AGAIN. LOL, I pulled like that tendon that is like behind your knee. It hurts soo much, it really hurts when I just sit down. And like I got hurt AGAIN like 2 days before. I was walking in the hallway and these like 2 kids were pushing each other and one of them like pushed me and during English I realized that my rib was hurting like a lot, and when I got home, it was swollen! I was like WTH. LOL, it is a little bit better now. I think I just bruised it. That’s not that bad XD.

Well, I’m going to ranting LOL . So much school ! If I dont reply to like comments or emails, I will within that week. Sorry for being so lazy XD.

1. What are you going to be for Halloween?
2. Are you on a sports team?
3. What brand of sneakers do you own?

answerss ;D

1. A crayon with 4 of my other friends. I’m green !
2. Yup, Cross Country and I do tennis in the summer and winter
3. Running—Avia, Tennis—Puma, Regular Sneakers—Converse

OKAY, I may take a while to reply to comments, I have SOOO much school work, that I have like no will power to reply to comments ! XD. But I will def. reply sometime this week! I may even blog ! I will be on twitter though! Dont worry I’m not leaving you guys!

Bahhh. The title says it all! I feel like an old lady! I mean seriously, I have soo many problems with like my bones and stuff. Well here is the list of my current problems: Sesamoidtitis, Loose Knee Caps, Shin Splints, and Scoliosis. Ain’t it all just lovely? Then my past problems: 5 sprained ankles, 1 sprained thigh. My sprained thigh story was quite interesting. When I was around 1ish, my sister was carrying me down the stairs and she slipped while wearing those non slip socks [they must’ve sucked] and we both went tumbling down the stairs. This was the time around when I was just starting to walk, and my parents noticed that I had trouble walking. They took me to the doctor and apparently I sprained my thigh. Its very weird. I’m slowly falling apart ): Its just hard to get out of a sport that you do to rest, and then it never heals LOL

Anywhooo. Schools…fun…boring….interesting. I have mixed feelings for school XD. Some days I it and some I hate it. It depends how tired I am and what we do. We get so much homework! I have 2 projects already. One is an easy one, I have to draw a monster and like include 20 body parts in Italian. My second project on the other hand is a bit more boring. We have to write a 7 paragraph essay about what we want to do when we grow up. It’s based on this site that we went on that like rounds your interests with jobs and you pick one from those. I picked a Nurse. I guess I kinda want to be a nurse or a pediatrician. I’ll see where my life goes LOL.

1. Do you have any like injuries/problems ?
2. What do you want to be when you grow up?
3. Do you go to a public or private school [or college]?

We had the BESTTT Sub EVER! It was like soo much fun. The sub had 3 rules: 1. If we use our phones in class, we can’t be in front of a door XD. 2. We can chew gum or eat only if we give the Sub some LOL and 3. We can pretty much do anything They were like CURSING and me and my friends were like :O. It was hilarious though, cause the sub was saying a bunch of racist jokes, but for fun, he wasnt seriously making fun of anyone it was just funny. We also talked about the VMA’s and how Kanye was a jerk. He said how he knows Taylor Swift and he is supposed to meet up with her this weekend. He said he has her phone number because she gave it to him before she was famous ! It was pretty cool though ! It was a very interesting period

Well, I’m going to see my sister at college tomorrow! She’s homesick so we decided to go visit her! It’s 5 hours away so we are gonna leave early so we can spend the day with her We’re bring our dog, cause she misses her! She’s so excited to see her! Well I’m gonna hit the hay LOL night ! Oh yea, thanks everyone for wishing me a happy birthday! I really appreciated it!
