Getting Into the Christmas Spirit

Hey there!

I absolutely can not wait until Christmas.  It’s what, 21 days away?  But only half of those days are school days.  I’m currently listening to Charice’s cover of Jingle Bell Rock and it’s quite good.  I love her, like, so much.  We have the same birthday, and that makes me feel special.  Well not really but it’s really cool!

Anyway, umm.  Yesterday I went to the mall with Brooke, one of my best friends who I haven’t seen in a couple months because she went to a different school.  Our friend Rachel was supposed to come, but she went over her grandmas instead.  Being alone made it kind of awkward, but it was still fun.  We saw a ton of people we know.  Like, I saw this girl that I went to elementary school with before I moved, and now she goes to school with Brooke, and she wanted to talk to her, but I wouldn’t let her because she will probably try to talk to me and I’m wicked shy.  Also, I saw at FYE that they sell the Charlie Brown Christmas tree, the really small pathetic but adorable one!  It was only like $35 and I wanted to buy it so bad, but I bought a CD instead.  It felt kinda nice to buy a CD instead of buying songs on iTunes.  I don’t really know why.  It was Lungs.  Florence + the Machine <3.  Thank you for telling me about them Naomi.  You now deserve two cookies.

Today started off really weird.  I woke up at 11:30 because my parents needed me to watch my siblings while they go shopping.  I felt like it was 3 in the afternoon, so I was oblivious to the time.  When my parents got home at 3:30 I thought it was like, 7, because I never cared to look at a clock.  That’s my story of the day.  That was totally pointless.  Sorry you had to read that disgrace of a paragraph.

Right now, me and Naomi are discussing music taste of a specific person who I will not name just in case.  I’m not going to go into that.

I can’t think of anything to say tonight, I am so sorry.

Uncreative Title

Hey…That’s right, I didn’t ditch you (“you” as in the 2-6 viewers wordpress says I have).

So, I’m not quite sure where to begin.  There’s been so much that happened.  Oh, I got an A+ on my English midterm!  My teacher said it was by far the most creative interpretation of the play any of his student (in 8 years, either that, or 15) have ever performed!  It was awesome!  When he gave it back to us, we were like, “Yeah!!!!!” and then our class looked at us like we were idiots.  But accodring to my English teacher, we are the exact opposite, so yay.  Currently, in English, we’re learning about the French Revolution to prepare us for when we begin to read A Tale of Two Cities next Monday.  I’m not excited.  It’s a long book.  And it’s really old it smells weird, and the print is so small it hurts my eyes.  Also, I’ve realized that Charles Dickens seems to describe things endlessly, as an example, in A Christmas Carol, it took him like, 3 pages to describe how Marley or whatever was as dead as a doornail.  That is totally un-necessary.

Hmm, Thanksgiving was quite good for me.  It was definitely different from all other Thanksgivings.  Only my grandparents came over this year.  Everyone at turkey except me, I hate about 30 croissants.  They were delicious.  After my grandparents left we went to my aunts.  They didn’t come over this eyar ebcause they wanted to watch football and not be disturbed.  While there we ate dessert, and it was fair.  After that we went to my great aunts house and just did nothing.  It’s always boring there because they are all oldish and every time I see them they ask how old I am, what grade I’m in, and say “You’ve gotten so tall!”  That gets on my nerves.  We had to leave early, luckily, because my brother and sister got into a fight over the couch and my brother bit my sister and it was all purple and the bite marks were big, but that’s also because he has buck teeth.  I went home, thought about blogging, and then was told I had to go to bed.  Too bad.

Today during first block, my teacher brought us to see the mock trial thing in the auditorium.  It was kind of interesting.  There were 3 debate topics.  Illegalizing tobacco products, whether or not to have sales tax on alcohol, and whether to illegalize religious symbols in monuments.  I found the religious one to be especially interesting, because I was with my friends, one of them is an Atheist, one is Jewish (I’m pretty sure), and me and the two others are Christian, so we all had different opinions.

Foundation Studio lately has been terrible, but it kinda always is.  Like, I love my table group because I’m friends with all of them, but the teacher is a bitch.  She grades us on artistic ability which is completely unfair, because me, along with many others in my class, are terrible artists.  Also, she has this really annoying voice that literally sounds like nails on a chalkboard, and when she gives her little lectures like every 20 minutes, you kinda wanna shoot her.  And what we really hate, is when you’re like, getting up to sharpen a pencil or something, she walks over to you and asks why you’re not doing work, and she’s like an inch away from your face, and it’s like, personal space, please.

The time for Glee is almost over, and I’m quite upset.  Next tuesday is the Christmas episode and then it goes on it’s 2 month hiatus and comes back Sunday, February 6th for the Super Bowl episode, and then get’s back it’s normal schedule that Tuesday, and that means Glee 2 days in a row. 

So, about 3 weeks ago, my friend showed me this song by Florence + the Machine, “Dog Days Are Over.”  And then, like 2 weeks after I find out Glee is performing that on their Sectionals episode (which was yesterday, and it was awesome).  So, I looked up other songs by that band and they are my new obsession.  Yay obsessions!

Also I wanna congratulate Naomi (also my Florence + the Machine buddy xD) for completing her NaNoWriMo thing!  Yay!  It took like a month but I’m sure it all payed off.  She gets a cookie tomorrow ^_^

That’s it for now, I’m gonna try and post very soon.

Bye
