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.

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!
