Happy New Years

Happy New Years. Bladdy blah. You get the point.

ANYWHO
I went to Emmie's for New Years. (No, she is NOT dead. Just not part of wonderful blogging community anymore) Movie marathon (we never did actually finish a whole movie) pictonary, Martinelli's (Love that junk), you get the point. I took a couple of pictures with my new DIGITAL CAMERA. I named it Harvi. He is red. Anyway, I took pictures of Emmie's cat, Shay. And a video. I'll put it up soon. (Cuz I can do that now, ya know.) We also may a video of Emmie trying to open a glass bottle of Orange Crush. (How come twist off bottle caps are so hard to get off?) Well, anywho, the video has "What is This Feeling" from the broadway musical Wicked. It's really funny.

OTHER PICTURES
Other pictures I've taken with Harvi include:
A picture of my dad's feet
our cat, Clover, in the tree (about three of these)
Two pictures of our fire the other night
A minute and a half video of the said fire
a video of my dog
a video of Clover playing with a bell

So, yeah. Then today, Emmie and I went to see "The day the earth stood still". Honestly, don't waste your money. It was really... rushed. The effects were good. THe plot... eh. But it was rushed.

This is a really long post. Ah, oh well. Pictures soon, 'kay?

All I have To Say Today...

Offend Someone This Holiday Season!
Just Say, "Merry Christmas!"

I keep seeing the Wal-Mart commercials, you know, the one's that say, "Christmas costs less at Wal-Mart"? Well, I see those, and I think about Black Friday and what happened. This is what's in my head during those commercials:

Chistmas Costs Lives at Wal-Mart

Countdown Till Christmas: 2 more days!!!

Well, I haven't posted in like, a week. (Le gasp!) So, anywho, I'm just gonna do a list and hope you can keep up, k?

1)Last wednsday my mom had a car accident. THankfully no one was hurt, but the damage to the car was too much. We currently have a rental while my parents search for a new car.
2)I stayed home sick on tuesday, then went to school on Wed. only to stand around waiting for then to announce if school was closed due to the fact that, while the wonderful snow falling from the sky was sticking at my house, it wasn't sticking in town. Not till 7:45 am. so, we had a snow day Wed, Thurs, and Fri! We had 12 inches at my house!
3)I got the new BarlowGirl CD! "Home for Christmas"? Yeah. Anyway, we were in the rental yesturday on the way to church, and I was reading. I resurfaced from my book long enough to listen to the first song. I thought we were on my mom's christmas station, and I thought, "Hey, this sounds like BarlowGirl, hmmm, I didn't think they'd play Christian artists on this station." And then a little while later, my mom throws back the CD case and I was like, "Hmmm, I guess it was them." Really quite sad on my part, really.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Close at Hand!!!

So, today, on this loverly Saturday, I got up, did my homework, yaddayadda, and then, went outside to help set up the Christmas lights.

It wasn't easy.

I had to brave dust, wind, wires, and the problem of getting yourself tangled in strands of lights while trying to detangle them. Yes, it was dangerous, yes it was cold, BUT I SURVIVED!!!!
ITS A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!!!! :D
But, seriously, there was this really bad storm blowing in, we could see the black clouds full of rain (and hopefully snow). The bottoms of these clouds where brown from the dust the wind kicked up.
I told my dad,"We may have to go it, or risk electrocution." He laughed. *Sigh* But we are all alive!!!! And our tree is finally decorated!!!

Earth-shaking

We just had a minor window-rattling earthquake. Nothing big. nothing broken.

Straight Circles, Splodgeball, and other random things.

so, yesterday at lunch, I went to Blue Jay's locker with her, and she was trying to draw a picture of a stick person, right? So, she was drawing the head and I was yabbering on about Splodgeball, and she was like, "Shut up! I can't concentrate! I'm trying to draw a straight circle!" I stopped, looked at her, and said with a straight face,"A straight circle?" "Yes, a straight circle," she said, not realizing what she's saying. I repeated myself, and she nodded. Then we go outside, and five minutes later, I was like,"Seriously, a straight circle?" She looked at me, asked, "what?" I looked at her and she burst out laughing. "I GET IT!!!" She howled. IT TOOK HER FIVE MINUTES!!! YOU CAN'T DRAW STRAIGHT CIRCLES!!! CIRCLES AREN'T STRAIGHT!!!

Now, what is splodgeball, you ask? It is a game Blue Jay and I had created before the straight circle incident. It is a cross between dodgeball and soccer. You have to dodge the ball unless you hit it with your head or hips. The ball is covered in jam, and everyone wheres funny hats. :D
