PK Bloggin'

On Tuesday, I decided I needed to wash my hair. Since Michelle practically LIVES in the library, we got a brush, a towel (haha, who knew you'd find one of those in a library?) and a hall pass and left for the 400's circle bathroom.
A few people came in while we were washing my hair, but nobody questioned us. I guess it's a common thing for girls to wash their hair in the 400's circle. Michelle said she's done it before.
After that, we went back to the library and ate our lunch. Tuesday was perhaps one of the funnest days this school year.

I'm sure Michelle will post a longer, more detailed version of this story soon. You can read more about it then!

EDIT: You can click here to go to Michelle's practically novel-length description of our adventure.



(haha. Flapjack reference in title)

This year I feel like I’m giving in more and more to the childish part of me.
I’m surrounding myself with things I loved most back in elementary school—books, Pokémon, PB&Js, rainbow colored things… Of course, all of these have their own reason for finding their way back into my life, but I’ll explain that in a sec.
I know it sounds dumb, but I feel like I’m trying to hold on to the last bit of adolescence I have before facing the fact that I’m gonna have to grow up. And yeah, I know I’ve already posted a blog about this, but oh well.

Anyway, I promised an explanation, so here it is:
My favorite childhood books are somehow being made into movies all at the same time (“Cloudy with a Chance”, “Where the Wild Things Are”), which has me so excited that I went out to Books-A-Million to buy my own copy of WTWTA (along with The Book of Lost Things).
The Book of Lost Things is another reason why I’m so caught up on childhood. This book just makes me wanna cry. It’s good. I promise. You need to read it. Like now.
Pokémon is coming out with remakes of the old games Gold and Silver, which I used to play ALL the time. It’s gotten me back into my Pokémon phase (which kinda died out for a while there). POKÉMON HEARTGOLD AND SOULSILVER, BABY!
I just rediscovered my love for PB&Js (uncrustables, to be specific). I used to eat them with lotsa jelly and hardly any peanut butter and remove the crust. And now that they have an uncrusted PB&J sandwich readymade, I can save a bunch of time! So that’s what I have for lunch now every day!
As for rainbow colored things… well, let’s just say my friends made me some bracelets. :)

Does anyone remember this book from like KINDERGARTEN? I do.
I remember every time our class would go to the library, the librarian would read a book to us: The Berenstain Bears, No, David!, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day... Out of all of these classic children's books, Where the Wild Things Are is my favorite. Guess what? WTWTA is now not only a picture book, but a motion picture! (Would I underline/italicize that since it's abbreviated?)
October 16th - the release of Where the Wild Things Are in theaters! Now if only someone could make The Book of Lost Things into a movie...

Are we supposed to write a decent blog in 10 minutes? Because that's a bit of a challenge for me.

Anyway, I take money for granted. Every day I find myself asking my mom for a dollar (or ten) to go skating, or to the movies, or to buy something I just GOTTA have. She usually gives me what I ask for, but lately I've been getting turned down a lot. Our parents just bought my sister and I a new car and opened us each a checking account. Every month they deposit $100 in it, which I'm happy with. The problem is, I can't save money for my life. I find myself wanting this, and that, and those, and I actually have the money to buy it with! It's so tempting, but I know I really need to save my cash. So, after I buy my Pokedex (it's a bargain), I'm gonna try and save and only spend on the necessities.

I'm done with this blog now. I think it's the first blog I've actually based off a prompt this month.

Probably not.



So today at band practice, a bird flew over my head and I realized another fear of mine... birds flying over my head. Well, it might not be a fear exactly, but... it's weird. Whenever something flies over me, I duck and cover or move to the side. I just noticed how often I do it without even thinking. I think it's partially from my fear of planes and bombs. But anyway... That's just me thinking out loud, because I have nothing else to blog about.
On a different note, I'm buying a Pokedex. It has all Pokemon up to the Sapphire/Ruby era. Which is where they stop being original, in my opinion. Pokemon Johto was the best! :)
(haha, I know Alyssa is jealous! BUT DON'T LET ANYONE ELSE GET YOU ONE BECAUSE I AM FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY, k)

EDIT: this was supposed to post yesterday, but my internet stopped working as soon as I tried to publish. So yeah. today = yesterday

Ok, so I found this new layout and it's really pretty, and I'm using it. And only like two people get my title (and blog name for that matter), so don't pay it any mind.
I'm kinda stumped on what to post on. I know we've been getting lots of prompts, but none of them really inspire me. I mean, I don't really see what there is to write about a quote. It's just someone else's words. And I don't like writing about myself, and there's not much I can say about my family. I dunno, I guess that's why my grades aren't so hot in English. Everyone else seems to be doing fine.

So today I was talking to my sister about being a DJ for my own radio station. I'm pretty sure I'd be the only one to listen to it, and I would be a VERY bad DJ. But it was a cool thought. It made me realize that I don't wanna teach or be a doctor or go into law or anything, I wanna work with something I like. Which kinda brings me back to a post I made in August-- I wanna work with video games. I just don't know anything about them. Next year I'm gonna fill all of my electives with computer classes and hope for the best. Yeah!

Sooo, I've kinda been slacking off on keeping this up to date. But I'll catch up, I promise!
In my absence from blogging, I've been reading a book. It's called The Book of Lost Things, which Alyssa so graciously picked out for me at the school library, and I owe her for it. I'm only like a chapter into it (even though I've had it checked out for 2 weeks), but it's REALLY good. It's one of those books that you read the back of and say "oh, I'm gonna love this book", and you do! But today we didn't have Eagle Eye Read in English so I didn't get to read anymore of it. Oh, well.

Anyway, there's the bell, so I'm gonna cut this short and stop here. Jordan's playing my clarinet in my ear, and now I have a headache and have to go outside for band practice. Whoo.

EDIT: I just realized we don't have Eagle Eye Read on Mondays. My bad.

I like turtles and rainbows and hot springs and bears,
reading and writing and chocolate eclairs;
mushrooms and puppies and colorful trees,
smelling the rain on a cool, stormy breeze;
niceness and kindness and campfire s'mores,
these are the things I adore!
I dread running and falling and scraping my knees,
needles and beetles and bumbling bees;
people and things that change when I'm gone,
darkness and loudness and nuclear bombs;
bleeding and dying and witnessing tears,
these are the things that I fear!
I hate school work and homework and all things related,
telling a friend "Happy Birthday!" belated;
bologna and drama and mean little kids,
waking up early with droopy eyelids;
burgers and broccoli and burning my toast,
these are the things I hate most!
I treasure family and friends and Neil Patrick Harris,
pinics and carnivals and a band called Save Ferris;
skating and biking and extensive car rides,
laughing so hard it starts hurting my sides;
waving my hands on a rollercoaster,
these are the things I love most(er)!

Yeah. So, rhyming scheme is everywhere and, I don't have a big enough vocabulary to find a rhyme for most words. Haha.
When I wrote it, I was singing it... So if you can't figure out how it's supposed to go, just ask and I'll sing it for you. :P

• Alyssa requested an icon for her blog (WHY?). I suck at drawing, my tool of the trade is MS Paint, and I'm on a laptop. Yup.
• It's not a rubber duck, I swear. It's a canary.
• I don't have to stay after tomorrow! Finally, one day of freedom. I can go home and just relax instead of staying another 2 hours and 30 minutes at school.
• Football game on Friday, then I get to sleep in on Saturday, Sunday, AND Monday!!!
• I really wanna play games, but I should be doing homework. This blog, for example, should've been done around, oh... yesterday.
• Then again, I do have a study hall first thing tomorrow morning.
• I'm drying my hair with my fan on max.
• I think Alyssa has read more of my library book than I have. I had to recheck it out this morning.
• I hate white days. :(
• I really need to go take my permit. Like, REALLY need to.
• This is getting to be pretty long, so I think I'll end here.
