Yep. Life Has Caught Up to Me.

Okay, so I'm a sophmore in highschool, for those of you who don't know me. :) I'm in 3 AP classes and 2 college courses that aren't AP. I'm not bragging. I'm complaining. I hate homework. I have at least, AT LEAST, 3 hours of homework EVERYDAY!!!! Even on the weekends! My life sucks... I'm practically failing AP AB Calc... Yep...

Right now I'm literally jamming out to my favorite Christmas song; His Favorite Christmas Story by Capital Lights... I love that song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He met her up in Delaware in 1937. She was wearing red lipstick to match her pretty dress. December 24th at a quarter till eleven is when he finally gained the courage to ask her to dance

 

:)

Back to complaining...

So, National History Day. Yep. Anyone who knows me, knows what I'm doing. Anyone, Anyone? Buler? Just kidding... (or am I?)

Well, I'm doing Ronald Reagan's Speech at the Bradenburg Gate on June 12, 1987. My favorite line is "We do not mistrust each other because we are armed. We are armed because we mistrust each other."

***SQUEAL***

I know... I'm a geek. I can't help it!!!

Goodreads Reading Challenge Update...
       I'm at 95 books... 5 left in the next 25 days... a book every 5 days... I think I can do it... maybe?

Bell Choir is making my life a living hell right now. I'm missing 6 days of school in the last 3 weeks of school before Winter Break... About the time when teachers are trying to shove last minute knowledge into our heads... Needless to say, my life sucks...

But! Driver's ed is over tonight!!!!!!!!! *Happy dance* You have no idea how much I hate Driver's ed. It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring...

Twenty years later as he took his last breath It was on a cold Christmas morning on a hospital bed The children were grown, he had nobody left Except the little old nurse who was holding his hand. He said "Ma'am can you share a little holiday cheer?" A simple Christmas story was all he wanted to hear But his eyes filled with tears at the words that she spoke Because his favorite Christmas story was the one that she told.

She said I met him up in Delaware in 1937. Though I never caught his name he was a traveling man. December 24th at a quarter till eleven I'm so glad he got the courage to ask me to dance.

So, My Life... as of NOW!!!!!

So, Cross Country started at the beginning of June, right? So, by now I'm pretty much in shape for most of everything the coaches will throw at me... But that comes at a price... no matter how much I stretch, and stretch and stretch, I'M ALWAYS SORE!!! It sucks... a lot... I hate being sore... It makes me feel like an old person... It's totally NOT COOL!!!

Well, I'm on my 68th book for 2012; City of Lost Souls... It's the 5th book in the Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare... Personally I like the Infernal Devices better, but that's just me...

I'm about ready to die of frustration... USA Network needs to get it's act together! I've been trying to get the 3 latest episodes of Necessary Roughness for the past two weeks... IT'S NOT WORKING!!! I hate it when people/things/computers/books/random things that I've forgotten don't cooperate... Isn't that like, the motto for something... IDK...

Whatever... see y'all later....

Oh, and by the way... I finished BONES!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, I just dinged in WOW! (World of Warcraft, also known as World of Warcrack) I'M LEVEL 85!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE END HAS COME!!!!! **HAPPY DANCE**

RIP Vincent... RIP...

You know those annoying yet sweet characters in TV shows that aren't really important, but you like anyway?
I hate it when they kill them off... RIP Vincent... RIP...

BORING!!!!!! Blah...

I never thought I'd say this... but I'm bored of reading... *GASP* I know, right! It's sacrilage... But it's true... I'm on my 3rd book since Saturday and AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I have so many books to read that it's crazy...

And the worst thing is... I have no desire to read ANY OF THEM!!!!!!!!

The light at the end of the tunnel...

No, I'm not dying... Although it feels like it... I'm going through finals week... My hardest, most influencial final is tomorrow... And I just found out that I got a C on my last test... This is not looking good for the home team... God, I hate math...

Romeo And Juliet... and Some Other Useless Crap...

so... I sit here in my Engineering class, already done with a project not due for another week... bored out of my mind while reading Romeo and Juliet... When suddenly, a thought hits me (almost taking out an eye *Smiley face*) and I think... what about Goodreads? So I get on goodreads and quench my boredom for a little while... then Goodreads bores me... So I get on my email... but that bores me too... So, what about I write a blog post? Yeah, my readers would like that, wouldn't they?

Okay... My life right now... F.I.N.A.L.S. are next WEEK!!! I am sooooo freaking out about my PreCalc and Chemistry finals... I need to get an A on my PreCalc so that I get an A in the class... And I need to get an A in Chemistry, so that I can keep my A. If I don't get an A in either of those classes, I will loose my title as top of the class... so you can understand why I'm freaking out...

At least Track is over... I lettered and got six medals by the way... SIX! That's a lot for a freshman... heck, that's a lot for anyone... unless you go to Roosevelt... then you're just naturally fast and I hate you... :)

Well, I should get back to reading Romeo and Juliet... I only have to read 50 pages by 1:00... Although... I really want to smack both Romeo and Juliet right now... they're both REALLY stupid...

Okay... bye for real this time...

Wait...

Just kidding!!! :)

I know... It's been a while...

So. Hi. Yeah, it's been like FOREVER!!! I admit. Some of that was my fault. But I feel like blaming Track, school, church, ACE, and whatever else I feel like blaming. So...

Well, what's been going on in my life since I deserted the world of Blogger? Well, since I have no idea where I left off, and have no intention of looking, I'll start in January. (Not my friend January, the month) Well, lets see...

January: I was in ACE. Semester 2 started. (I hate my Health Class, by the way, it's so stupid, and everyone in it is stupid... yeah) That's about it. January was boring.
February: Track started. I was failing Chemistry. ACE continued. I saw the movie "THE VOW" in theaters.
March: March was busy. I turned 15. Track practices continued and the season itself started. I saw both "JOHN CARTER" & "THE HUNGER GAMES" in theaters. ACE ended. And probably the best thing; my best friend took me to The Twin Cities and the Mall of America as a birthday present! It was AMAZING!!!!!!! *girly giggle* It was a clothes shopper's heaven!
April: Things settled down again. I got my Chem grade up, but my Math grade plumeted. I got better in track. A LOT better. I saw "THE LUCKY ONE" in theaters. God, I love Zefron. Youth Sunday. A huge math competition in South Dakota. BOOK SALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was in heaven.
May: For the start of May; I started watching BONES on Netflix. I'm currently halfway through season 4. I saw "THE AVENGERS" that was epic. I got my math grade up!!! It's a B now. I missed my first day of school in 5 and a half years (May 04) Track got over; I finished with my 800 best being a 2:47. I won't know until tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure I lettered! I got my yearbook.

Yeah... that's pretty much the gist of my life for the past 4 and a half months...

Oh, I've read 51 books since January too.... :)

Now, I really have to go do my homework, which was the reason I was on Blogger; looking for ways to procrastinate...

Spring Break To Read List

1. Pathfinder- Orson Scott Card
2. Wisdom's Kiss- Catherine Gilbert Murdock
3. Incarceration- Catherine Fisher
4. Airman- Eoin Colfer
5. Stealing Heaven- Elizabeth Scott
6. A Walk to Remember- Nicholas Sparks
7. Dear John- Nicholas Sparks
8. Message in a Bottle- Nicholas Sparks

That's more than I thought it was... :)

Procrastination is the New Black

Yeah... Today is President's Day. Which means no school. But tomorrow I have a Take-Home-Test due. And Wednesday, I have to present a poem!!! So I'm procrastinating, well, everything!!!

I wrote an entire fanfiction one-shot. It's short, but I'm proud of it! I watched Princess Diaries I this morning. Read an entire book (210 pages). And I cleaned my room.

Yep. I'm an expert at keeping busy while procrastinating...

But you all should go and read my fanfiction; review it, and well, tell me what you think!!!

Eating Habits

Right now, I'm sitting at my kitchen table eating my ramen noodles with peas and corn. I'm watching my brother make his with only hot dogs. ONLY HOT DOGS. No seasonings (I put itallian seasoning, garlic and onions, in addition to the packet provided.) and no vegetables! It just strikes me how different my brother and I are when it comes to eating habits. I'm healthy. He's not.

Long Live Potter

Today is a historic day my fellow Potterheads. 5 years ago today in a lonely room in the Balmoral Hotel, J.K Rowling wrote the last words of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. 5 years ago today a journey 10 years in the making came to a close. 5 years ago today the Dark Lord was finally vanquished. 5 years ago today all was made well. So my dear Potterheads please take this moment to raise your wands in salute of the woman who wrote the story that started it all. Long live Potter. ♥

Potatoes and Tears

I know; I'm the worst blog-hostess in the world... but I'm an even worse Fanfiction-updater... I'm really sorry, but Finals are coming up (English is the day after tomorrow; ugh) and I'm really not looking forward to them.

Running has been going well for me. I've gotten out quite often, but not as often as I would like. I'm still in condition, for the most part. I've lost a good majority of my hills amazingness, but I won't need hills in Track, so...

I started watching Mulan today on Youtube. Keyword there is started. The set of videos I was watching goes through 8 and they only had the first 6. But I didn't find this out until after I finished the sixth part. So I'm left hanging after she was kicked out of the army and left to die in the middle of the mountains with only 2 blankets and a bandage to keep her warm... Nice huh?

Now you're all probably wondering what's going on with the title. Yeah, dinner was very interesting tonight for my family.  One of our favorite dishes is potatoes and spam. We had no spam but we had ham left over from our New Years Day lunch, so we had potatoes and ham. As you all know, I'm lactose-intolerant, but my dad decided to be a jerk and put cheese on my plate, and my plate only. When I started to object, he screamed (literally screamed) and stormed out of the room. When I looked at my mom she looked just as confused as I felt. She said to just eat it and when I objected again she yelled at me; not as loudly as my father, but still it hurt. So when I ran out crying, my dad showed up again and actually shoved me back into the kitchen and said "Eat the f**king food." So I'm not lying when I said that I had potatoes and tears for supper, I'm not kidding. There was barely any ham in it!

Christmas Poem

“Christmas Poem”

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF
PLASTER AND STONE.

I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY
WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO
IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.

I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,
A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
NOT EVEN A TREE.

NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,
JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES
OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.

WITH MEDALS AND BADGES,
AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,
A SOBER THOUGHT
CAME THROUGH MY MIND.

FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT,
IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,
I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER,
ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.

THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING,
SILENT, ALONE,
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR
IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.

THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE,
THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER,
NOT HOW I PICTURED
A UNITED STATES SOLDIER.

WAS THIS THE HERO
OF WHOM I'D JUST READ?
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO,
THE FLOOR FOR A BED?

I REALIZED THE FAMILIES
THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT,
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS
WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT.

SOON ROUND THE WORLD,
THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,
AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE
A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.

THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM
EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR,
BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS,
LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.

I COULDN'T HELP WONDER
HOW MANY LAY ALONE,
ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE
IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.

THE VERY THOUGHT
BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE,
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES
AND STARTED TO CRY.

THE SOLDIER AWAKENED
AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE,
"SANTA DON'T CRY,
THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE;

I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,
I DON'T ASK FOR MORE,
MY LIFE IS MY GOD,
MY! COUNTRY, MY CORPS."

THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER
AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP,
I COULDN'T CONTROL IT,
I CONTINUED TO WEEP.

I WEPT FOR HOURS,
SO SILENT AND STILL
AND WE BOTH SHIVERED
FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL.

I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE
ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT,
THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR
SO WILLING TO FIGHT.

THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,
WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE,
WHISPERED, "CARRY ON SANTA,
IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE."

ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH,
AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND!
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT."

Ugh, Life Sucks

Okay, for those you who read my blog regularly, (although, I don't know if there is anybody who reads my blog regularly) you know that I LOVE to complain. About the smallest insignificant things. Like getting a paper cut (I actually have one right now, how fun is that?) and burning your tongue on your Hot Cocoa, which I just did. So, you shouldn't be surprised if I say that I blew up (not literally, I yelled, cried, screamed, basically fell apart) when everyone at the church that I've been attending for all my 14 years has been ignoring me. Well, not everyone; the adults there are extremely nice. Ugh, if it weren't for my choir directors, I probably would quit. :(

On a totally unreated topic; mi padre is totally sending me mixed signals, you know how he wants me to go into the 'big bucks' stuff? Well today he asked me if I've ever considered a career in writing!!! WTF??? I mean you don't completely bully your daughter into believing what she want's to do is deadbeat and not worth her time, and then ask if she want's to do it? I mean, do you know how that makes me feel? Then he had the nerve to ask if I've been writing at all! HELLO!!! He obviously hasn't been paying attention to the late nights that I spend writing... ugh, this urks me so bad...

Oh, have I told you guys that I'm lactose-intolerant now??? Yep, it sucks; no cheese, no ice cream, no sour cream, no milk, no hot chocolate cereal... My life is in ruin...

One happy note of my life; my extended family christmas was last weekend. (17th &18th) I got $70 in cash; $25 gift card to B&N (Which I've already spent; I bought The Demon King, and The Exile Queen) $50 to Target (Clothes, here I come!!!) $10 to iTunes (must I explain?) and a whole bunch of Aeropostale clothes that didn't fit (I returned them and got clothes that fit, a scarf and a hat, for only $2.12 more!) Oh, and I got some foundation; not much, but hopefully I can buy some with my Target Gift Card...

Well, I should really get back to writing reviews, or stories, or fanfiction, or something... See ya!

Solitare

I <3 playing solitare... p.s. I'm doing right after I post this...

Happy Halloween!!!

For all of you who are going Trick-Or-Treating tonight, good-luck, get lots of candy, and don't get fat.

 

For all of you who are celebrating All Hallows Eve, well, honestly, I don't know what that is, but good luck to you... what ever it is that you do... :)

 

And now, for the fine print portion of this programming:

 

On 31st October, 1981 Voldemort murdered Lily and James Potter in the attempt to kill a young boy. They lay down their lives to protect their son. Remember their sacrifice so that they shall not be forgotten. On that stormy night 30 years ago, people all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices: "To Harry Potter -- the boy who lived!"

One of Those Lives by Brad Paisley

Rush hour traffic,
Always puts me in a bad mood.
I got chewed out by the boss today,
And now I'm stuck on highway 92.

Then you call me on my cell phone,
While I'm cussin' out a Cadillac.
You say remember Tom and Jenny's little boy?
Well, the doctors say the cancer's back.

Man its been one of those days,
When I been thinking poor me.
I got no right to complain I guess,
Cause right now all I can see.

Is a little angel in a Yankees cap,
It makes me realize.
It's just been one those days for me,
But for him it's been one of those lives.

Everybody under my roof,
Is healthy- knock on wood.
Oh but I sure do sweat the small stuff,
I don't thank God as much as I should.

Tonight I'm thinking about Tommy and Jenny,
And how they spent the last four years.
All those extended stays in Memphis,
All the sleepless nights, the prayers, the tears.

It's just been one of those days,
Where I was thinking poor me.
I got no right to complain I guess,
Cause right now all I can see.

Is that family moving back to Target House,
It makes me realize.
It's just been one those days for me,
But for them its been one of those lives.

And so it's been one of those days,
I let things get to me.
I got no right to complain,
Cause when I look around I see.

Folks that are fightin' for every breath,
And it makes me realize.
It's just been one for those days for me,
But for them it's been one of those lives.

Of Epic Suckiness...

My life officially SUCKS!!! Here are ten reasons why:

1. I lost my flash-drive with all my prized documents stored upon it.
2. Some of my homework that is due this week was on it.
3. I'm falling behind on my English homework.
4. I have a B in Mathematics.
5. I'm behind on my reading for my Goodreads goal of 100 books (I'm only at 81.)
6. I haven't done any of my math homework for a week. (Maybe that's why I have a B)
7. Districts in Cross Country are this Thursday.
8. I have the flu.
9. I ran out of candy.
10. My ipod hates me, it keeps dying.

So now you know how much I envy everyone in the world but myself... A LOT!!!!!
