Internet

You guys who haven't had to sit through the internet safetly speech thing are about to be bored.

Thanksgiving Break

So... my Thanksgiving break consisted of going to my cousin, Elizabeth's, house. Here's a list of what we did:

• Climbed up the side of the house
• Climbed up the pillars on the side of the house
• Climbed up the mailbox and had epic slow-motion wars with shooting imaginary fire rings from our hands
• Climbed up the high metal monkey bars at the park and stand on the railings
• Climbed up the bunk bed and stand on THOSE railings
• Climbed up the doorframes to the hang-on-the-door pull-up bar
• Climbed up the walls to our HQ (sorry, no telling!)
• Ate fruit gummies and oranges (a lot!)
• Watched muffin films
• Watched PRINCE OF PERSIA (Which, by the way was AMAZING YOUALLNEEDTOSEEIT!!!!!!) I know who my favorite Disney princess is!!

And then we drove five hours to my Grandparent's ranch where I:

• Climbed up the rocks with Ch1k3n
• Was sad about the lake almost all dried up
• Walked on the mud in the lake. I figured out that if you put your foot flat on the surface you wouldn't sink. Until the sinking point. Where I reached. Then I forgot the 'foot flat' thing and RAN back.
• Rode on the back of the pickup truck
• Shot dead cacti with my bow-and-arrow
• Bluetoothed Ch1k3n pictures
• Tried to catch kittens
• Watched helplessly as my Grandmother's indoor cat shoved himself up INTO the freezer
• Re-read To Kill a Mockingbird.

MAD

I... am... so... very... very... mad... at... the... computer... or... Ch1k3n...
Cause I just lost my big LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG post about All Region Band tryouts.
Either the computer exxed it out or Ch1k3n turned off the computer without even CHECKING to see what all would be erased.
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And 'Word' doesn't even save well on my computer...
SO MAD!!!!!!!!!!

Science Project

So, you know, the big science project we have to do? Well, mine is to see if sugar crystals grow fastest in bright light, darkness, or average light.
The first time I did it I didn't let the starter crystals dry enough so they didn't grow. Then I took the strings back out and let them dry AGAIN. Now it's actually starting to work, but guess what? It has to be done by this Friday. Yippee.
And I was trying to take pictures of them, but this camera I'm using is probably about five years old and has horrible quality. So whenever I try to take a picture of the crystals on the string, all I see in the picture is a yellow background and an orange streak. Yeah, not exactly what I wanted.
So now I'm going to have to turn in a half-finished experiment for school...
But you know that science fair that we have to do? Yeah, I'll keep my experiment and re-do the graphs and charts so that they match the latest results...
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After School

So after school I was waiting in the usual place where I wait to be picked up, next to the Youth Center. Then Mrs. Tail comes up and shouts at the 7th grade boys who were also waiting, "Get out of here! Out! Now! Pick up all your stuff and LEAVE! This is NOT a hangout!"
And we were all, "Um... our parents pick us up here."
She doesn't believe us, but then eventually says, "Well, then, SIT down on the concrete."
Someone's moody today.

Dance Class

So as some of you may know, I help teach the youngest dance class in my mom's studio. One of them is spoiled and needs attention. Usually when she's moody I just leave her alone and when she realizes she's not getting attention, she just stops.
But today she started crying, and my mom told me to see what she needed. So I asked, "Are you okay? Do you need anything?"
"It hurts..." (by the way, how she says 'hurts' is 'hoats.')
"... what??"
"It hurts!"
"Oh... Well, what hurts?"
"My tongue."
"Your... tongue?"
"My tongue."
"Oh. Well, I'm sorry your tongue hurts."
Long story short, she went home because of slight Strepp.

Question for Jestar

Jestar, there's a question for you on Sophie's Stories...
I don't know if you answered yet, I haven't checked... :)

Email

My internet's been down for the past week, and when I checked my email today four of the five new messages were from teachers.

Rip-Off Tacos

So this morning StuCo was handing out breakfast tacos, free for those who gave blood...
But those who didn't had to pay $1.50 if they wanted one. Fizzy got one... and it was about one inch wide and five inches across! TINY!!!!!!!!!!!
WAYYYYY too much they're asking for those...

...insert random title here...

Invisi, did you go to the whatever-it-was thing at your school today (Saturday)?
Cause I was performing yo-yo there.
Anyway, what I really don't like is when random kids come up and think that we're just... there and brought our yo-yos along for other people to play with... then they're all "can I try?" and it takes up SO much practice time. ARGH!!!!!

Internet Problems

Sorry I haven't been on... our internet hasn't been able to connect for a while... :(

Nathan's Marching Band State Competition

So, sadly, we just found out that Nathan's marching band didn't make State semi-finals.
They're now at the State Competition in San Ant.
Oh, well... last time they made State was 20+ years ago. :(

American History

So today in American History we had a food party. It was supposed to be a colonial food party, but it turned out to be more like 'food in general' such as breakfast tacos, chips, and cookies.
Nikki brought venison summer sausage and I brought root beer. Here's the list of other stuff that people brought--

• tortilla chips
• salsa
• cornbread and butter
• Mexican fruit cake
• orange juice
• sweet cinnamon hardtack
• beef jerky
• shortbread pastries that no one really cared for
• beans

Then tomorrow we're having a 'party' in Study Hall because twelve days we had our supplies... it took us two semesters to do it!!!! But Mrs. Morin's idea of 'party' is "quietly sit at your desks and whisper silently." No. NOT the definition of party. Hello, can we at least go outside?? Argh.

My dad's talking to my mom on the phone now... she just told him if Nathan made finals for state... he's still talking... *nervous!* ...by the way, her and Nathan are at State Marching competition in ...he's saying bye... wait for it... I asked... NO!!!!!!!!... THEY DIDN'T GET TO FINALS!!!! :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

I LOVE MY KITTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
