You Just Lost The Game

It seems the morrow has brought me a clearer mind. I'm so happy that we have a three day weekend. I've already gotten most of my homework done, now all I really need to do before Tuesday is get my music right for the test in band.

Later...

Not fair! Whyyyy?! I kept forgetting about "The Game" and thus kept forgetting that I was going to post about it. And now Emma seems to have snatched away my chance at being the first around our little community to do so. AUGH!!! pout* Oh well... In other news.... I just love Halloween don't you? It's such a fun little occasion. This year I've decided that I'm going to be Medusa. I'm going to braid my hair into a bunch of little braids and I also plan to design some sort of snake head piece. I've also found a good site that shows how to make various different ancient Greek and Roman costumes. At the moment I'm trying to decide between doing a doric or ionic peplos for the main garment. Anyway, has anyone else thought about their Halloween costume yet? Has anyone even thought about Halloween yet? I know this is super early, but I like to plan out my costume.

Well now it's time to sleep again. I just got back from the monon with my mom and Winston and Spencer and I realized that I'd never posted what I had written earlier. Anyway, I'm awfully tired so it's off to bed early for me. Nighty night everybody.

Bruised Knees

It's 11:13pm and I'm tired. I'm sore and I'm sleepy, and yet unwilling to relax in bed. I'm writing a post, but I have difficulty finding a topic. I struggle to summon words. Hmmm. Hmmm. Perhaps the morrow will bring me clearer of mind and thought. Ah well. Let me see. On Monday I was ill and consequently stayed home from school. Tuesday was a quick catch up on what I missed. Wednesday was not really memorable although I did go rollerblading(this I have become quite fond of) Friday, today, I was... needlessly apprehensive towards a 3 quarters of a mile race in gym which turned out fine(I did not realize it was only 3/4 of a mile, prior to the race I had thought it was somewhere around 1 1/2 miles which I still shouldn't have been so nervous of) I was also quite elated today towards it's being Friday, I went rollerblading(again) after school, and now I've also become fairly anxious towards a test in band class on Tuesday which I really need to practice for. All week my knees have been sore, due to a fall on the gym floor maiming one, and a little trip which sort of strained the other. I have a headache(likely my body telling me I should be asleep) Augh! Many thoughts race in and out my head. Band, math homework, project that needs to incorporate "Word Within a Word" prefixes, critique of a book, alas these are too many thoughts along with countless others. I may post tomorrow, I hope to show a picture of my new felted Winston fur pendant. Ha! But for now it's off to bed for this tired and rambling one. G'night all.

Censorship Is Wrong Foo'

Well I just finished my essay on censorship and Fahrenheit 451 (I really only mentioned the book twice in the writing) I'm quite surprised at the fact that my journal for social studies turned out waaaay longer. Although I'd say the essay was written a little better. Either way I'm happy 'cause I'm done! Wooh! And it's only 12:40. Now all I need to do is go to the library to get a book for Monday. Apparently we need a book by Monday for language arts that we're going to write an essay on that will be due at the end of the quarter. I'm not really sure what type of book we're supposed to get. I was figuring it was just supposed to be on a topic we'd like to write about so I'm just going to go with some good old historical fiction. That won't be too difficult to write about. I'm just hoping Mrs. Carter (I've had three last name Carter teachers now in my schooling...this is odd) will approve one of the books I pick. On another unrelated note, I now have the little felted ball of Winston fur as a pendent on a necklace and I plan to wear it on Monday. Anyway I'm off, I really need to go outside now that I've finished all my homework. :D

Sneezing

Well, today has been well spent I suppose. I finished all of my homework except for the essay on Fahrenheit 451 which I can easily finish up tomorrow. I also felted a tiny penny sized ball out of Winston's fur. It is very soft, and I used lavender soap to felt it so it smells good. Augh! I just cannot stop sneezing and coughing! My throat is pretty sore and my nose is, although not congested, very dry and sore. I'm not sure how else to describe it. I guess I'm coming down with a little cold or something. I'm hoping to go rollerblading on the monon again tomorrow. I'm becoming quite fond of my new roller blades. Anyway, with not much else to write about it's off to bed soon. I'm tired! ...You know I think I'm always tired. :P G'night all! (Also, sorry for the fact that this post is pitiful, in size and in general content, I just haven't much to write about, maybe I'll do something interesting, or I'll have some big philosophical posts soon, but until then I'm going to sleep... And think... But mostly sleep.)

It'll Do

Yay! Yay! Yay! My joy tolls like a bell. Over and over in my head the conscience yells, "Good Job!" "Yay!" "Congrats!" "Yay!" "You're Done!" "Yay!" "Hooray!" I've finished my homework. I've studied the books. I'm free. Now what?

So, I'm already getting sick of doing homework. Finishing one sheet feels like quite the accomplishment. You know what I really don't like about school? Getting home and feeling like the day is already over. I get home from school and I still have to do homework, eat dinner, ready for bed, and I end up with only a bit of time to do anything else. It's as if the school day that confines me, restricts me, and robs me of my creative free time never even ends. Ah well, at least there's a weekend right? If only it were four days of school and three days of weekend. Alas a two day weekend is enough anyway. I guess I don't mind school too much. I just wish it were a little shorter. Or a little more interesting. But it's really good enough. It's a privilege right? We're fortunate to get to go to school to learn? Yeah, sure. It's all a small price to pay for learning. Aw, who am I kidding, school is fine. It's just been tiring me out recently. Like Emma last week I was really tired. I mean, I didn't even have sports to do and I was tired. Wake up early, get to bed early and yet as early as I try to get to bed, I'm never quite as awake at school as I am on the weekends.

Buddha Squirrel

Yesterday evening I went with my mom, Spencer, my grandmother, and my dog Winston to see a play outdoors at a park. The play was Shakespeare's "As You Like It" with original script and a narrator to explain what was going on. It was good, there were only like six actors so it was a small troupe, but a lot of other people were there to watch. After that we went to Coxhall Gardens, which was just nearby, to look around. And then on our way home we came upon many roundabouts, one of which had, and I'm almost positive this is what I saw, a soccer ball sized statue of a really really really fat squirrel. A Buddha squirrel if you will. Another "crazy random happenstance" on the car ride home was that after I said something about the Starbucks drinks that I like, Spencer started ranting and mocking me saying "Yeah I really like the nicotine swirls they put in my drinks, Yeah yeah very addicting, I love them, like so tasty, nicotine swirls. Yum." It was actually pretty funny. I guess you had to be there. Anyway, yay for weekend! And yay for rollerblades! I've gotten pretty good at using them, good enough I hope that I'm gonna go to the monon and attempt to skate along with my mom and Winston... and hopefully not fall.

Later...

My cousin Kelsey came over today and we swam and then I did some henna design on her arm. Then we had dinner and Kelsey and I went outside. I skated and she rode my scooter (that I hardly ever use unfortunately :P) and we went up and down the street. There's a fairly steep hill at the end of the cul-de-sac that Kelsey went down a bunch of times and the last time she ended up falling. Ha. I decided not to go down seeing as I would have fallen no matter thanks to the rollerblades. Anyway, today I also made a chocolate pudding pie so I'm gonna head down and eat that now. Have a nice weekend all! ...One more thing, Emma made me watch this thing called "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" and it was pretty funny so I made my cousin watch it to while she was over here. So now I think all of you need to watch it if you have yet to do so.

As You Like It

Yay! My rollerblades came today and I'm quite pleased. I've pretty much gotten the hang of them so that's good. I just need to figure out how to stop smoothly. I'm so happy it's Friday. It's been a good week but I've really tired out from it all. It'll be nice to have those two sweet days of weekend.
