Go To Jail

Go DIRECTLY to jail.

DO NOT pass go.

DO NOT collect $200.

I stare at my card. Why are they so harsh on criminals? And doesn't everyone know those rules already? I imagine the card is to be read in a scolding sort of way. As if it were a mother scolding her child for moving 7 spaces and landing on the "GO TO JAIL!" space...

Yesterday we played Monopoly. "Boston Red Sox" style to be precise. The players were the following: myself, my brother Spencer, my cousin Jack, and my aunt Glenda. I had fun although an exact winner was never announced. How do you win in monopoly? I've never really understood that part, I just know I need to get lots of money and real estate. What causes the game to end? I mean other than everyone getting bored and tired. I think one cause is if someone goes bankrupt, but that could take forever... So right now I'm laying in my designated guestly bed in Cape Cod as I write this and listen to the wind. Right now it's 7:06am and I got up around 5:30ish. I'm not sure why I got up so so early after going to bed fairly late. But anyway, so as not to wake anyone else up trying to use the laptop I'm going to type this up later. (this post was being written in my notebook) Oh yeah, so you know how I said I was listening to the wind? It is so windy today! I went outside earlier and it's really loud because of the wind rustling the leaves and trees. Of course inside it's kind of calming along with the waves from the beach. Right out my window I can see the waves of the Atlantic crashing along the shore. A pretty sight indeed. So much nice ambient noise comes from the beach and the wind. It's nice, very calming. It's actually sort of lulling me back to sleep so I think I may rest some more. Getting up so early wasn't the best idea. yawn*

Catchphrase, Quartz, and Glass Flowers

Hey all! I've spent the last five days in Boston with my family and I've really enjoyed exploring the area. We visited Harvard, walked the Freedom Trail and saw the Old North Church and Paul Revere's house, we got to look around on the USS Constitution "Old Ironsides"(an old and apparently important boat), we also saw Faneuil Hall and visited the Faneuil Hall Marketplace aka the Quincy Marketplace and while there we had lunch and I got some mini pagodas for my zen garden and I purchased a pretty black and silver folding hand fan. Oh yeah, we've also been wanting to get the game Catch Phrase because we thought it would be a fun game for all the relatives to play, we'll probably try to find and buy one today. Also, I've had to use an elevator two times during our visit, one time going up and one going down, the elevator only went one level from the parking garage we were in up to a restaurant so I was okay with it but still, I do not enjoy having to use elevators. I prefer the stairs, they're far more interesting and by using them you are less lazy plus using the stairs means I don't have to use the elevator. Sooo today we're headed out to Cape Cod and I'm excited for that to because we'll be there for a nice long ten days. Plus I'll get the chance to swim and I get to visit with family which is always a pleasure right? Absolutely. I hope all have been enjoying the last few weeks or so of vacation, spend them wisely. I think we go back to school on the 12? I am actually kind of looking slightly forward to school because we all get to see eachother again and, well, learn. I'm also a little apprehensive though because I just love the laziness and the laid back feel of summer that disappears at the beginning of the school year. Oh well, happy summer anyway, have a nice day all! :D

Before Tomorrow Comes

Well today we're packing and doing everything we need to do before we leave tomorrow. We still really don't have much I want to eat. Oh well! I can survive on milk.

A description of me right now:

Gemma... ...has not eaten for awhile ...is kind of hungry ...has no food ...needs sustenance ...apparently looks peaked ...could die of hunger ...lacks energy ...suffers from malnutrition at the moment ...is really hungry ...is not willing to eat stale english muffins(which are not actually like muffins just to clarify) to survive ...will probably die before even getting to the grocery to buy food for the trip ...is really really hungry...

Anyway, I may post later but right now I have work to get done before tomorrow comes.

Later...

Okay so we're off tomorrow morning. I'm slightly excited but also slightly unhappy about having ot stay at the hotel because what if we have to use the elevator? Ok, so I'm adding unneeded nervousness and apprehension. Maybe if I just stop thinking for a little bit I'll feel better, about everything. That would be nice.

Something Edible Would Be Nice

I suppose I should post something, but I don't really have anything to post about. Let's see. I want to go horseback riding sometime before school starts. I still despise elevators, mainly just ones in tall buildings. Like I'm okay with an elevator in a building with around 4 floors, but if its 6 or 7 or more floors I absolutely loathe having to use it. It just freaks me out. I gotta get over my fear of elevators. So hmmmm what else. I got some tiny fake feather butterflies at Hobby Lobby a couple days ago and I'm going to put them on hair pins and wear one or two in my hair or on my ponytail/bun/braid. Cool right? Okay maybe not cool but fun. Kinda different, almost like putting a fake flower pin in your hair just less tacky(not that the fake flower thing is that tacky anyway) I really haven't got much else to say. Hmmmm, I'm really hungry. I have been getting into the habit of not eating breakfast, so it's nearing lunchtime and I'm starving and I lack energy. I'm gonna go feed myself K? Have a nice day all. Now if only we had some food. Don't worry I'll find something edible.

Later...

It's 11:33 at night and I sitting here eating noodles. What is wrong with me?!? Ha. You see I was having headaches because the only thing I eaten today was a turkey and cheese sandwich, 3 small cubes of watermelon, and a glass of water. No I'm not starving myself. I just meant it when I said we don't have much food. We're trying to whittle it down so we don't leave a bunch of food at home while we're gone. I think it's a little silly though because it's making me forget about eating because when I think I should eat I try to think of something I could have, and there hardly is anything! Soooo hungry. Must-have-sustenance. Sigh* The reason I didn't eat breakfast though was because I woke up around 10 so I didn't really think about having breakfast. So here I am finishing noodles and milk. Good night all. And yes, no need to tell me, I'm weird.

My Fox Is Burning!

Sooooo... I'm leaving for Boston now on the 18th instead of the 17th because my Aunt doesn't want us to get there on the 19th because that's the day she and my cousin, her son, Jay(I originally typed Jack, why'd I do that??? I knew it was Jay not Jack. Just to clarify.) will be packing his stuff and preparing to leave for China. I can understand how it would be just a little too hectic to add visitors to that. So yeah, not much difference for us though, so we're leaving a day later. Okay. Oh, and now after much prodding from Spencer I'm now using Mozilla Firefox as my web browser. Won't he be happy! He says it's much faster or something although I don't notice much difference. I am growing fond of the automatic spell checker though.


Also, am I the only one who goes back into old posts on my blog and other blogs and comments? I'm thinking I am because I must surely be the only person who wants to end the case of the fake sheen blog (let alone the only one who remembers it) once and for all. I'm bored, there is nothing good on TV and I have nothing left to do on the computer that I haven't already done, I think I'll try getting on Lively, googles new virtual world thing, but it's so glitchy and slow connecting that it isn't very fun.

I Don't Feel So Good!

I think I ate too much candy. Don't ask, but let me just say that my stomach hurts. Really bad. Augh. Grumble* How are all of you doing? Summer is fading fast. We only have like a month left. Sigh* I'm sad summer will be soon over. But oh well! I suppose we should just think that we have time left rather than none at all.

Dental Torture

Ello all! Yay!! Claps for Sophia, she's home from China! Wooh. I will of course be leaving on the 17 for Boston and then we'll be visiting Cape Cod (lots of family to visit :D) During that time I really won't be able to get on the computer much so I may get in only 1 or 2 posts(or none, it depends, my relatives may want me to post so they can see my blog and read my posts over my shoulder as I type.. :D lol). We'll be back around the beginning of August or something. Gosh I wish we were going to New York too. Sigh* Oh well! Soooo, I'd just like to give a shout out to Laura! Kay, here goes... Do potatoes going into cream base soup get to be cooked? Also may we add cheese? I have some if needed. ...alrighty, hope she replies. I think I'll send an email and OMIGOSH. Ummmm, ew. This is just disgusting and awful I mean it's not like I've been anything particularly gas inducing. ...Nevermind... Soooo, today we went to the pottery place (my mom and Spencer and I) and we painted 2 pieces of pottery, one as a gift for each relative who we're staying with during our trip. I also painted a small mini tray. (for those of you who've seen the rose plate tray thingy I did, it's the smaller version OMIGOSH! and it's about half the size) Also, recently I've been listening to and trying to sing some songs by Vienna Teng. One of them is called Gravity(I think I have it in the player at the bottom) and I really like singing it. And although I may not sing it as well as Vienna I can do somewhat nicely(but the range in pitch is occasionally somewhat troublesome). OMIGOSH!.... This is annoying... funny, but annoying. Finally, to end this post I'd like to ask a very important question(which still somewhat confuses me) .... ... ....

Is it safe?
