Book Tag! XD

So... Kendra at Carpe Diem (stupid link won't work ): ) tagged me.

Rules: Choose 8 books you'd like to live in and why, then tag 8 people.
Mine aren't in order:

1. Alex Rider Series- It would be wicked cool to be a teen spy, or a hot teen spy's girlfriend... ;) Some of his gadgets are sweet, and they're hidden in the most common objects! But I have to admit, it would be kind of scary with all of those insane evil-doers trying to kill you...

2. Harry Potter Series- I just want to go to Hogwarts and be able to use simple spells like Accio and Silencio, and to ride brooms and play Quidditch.

3. Unfinished Angel- The little Swish town setting is so beautiful, and Senora Divino's ravioli sounds good :) The angel is really funny, too, and Zola and the orphans are glorious chaos.

4. The Lord of the Rings series- Middle Earth is beautiful, especially the Shire. I would live in a house under a hill, but I might be too tall :). Gondor would be cool, the whole city is really cool and I feel like I could explore forever.

5. Any Cathy Cassidy book- Her books are always so detailed, the settings so vivid and gorgeous, the problems so real, and the guys so dreamy... Every character is relatable and real, and her books are are some of my favorites.

6. Oh, The Places You'll Go- The worlds and landscapes are so ridiculous that I can't help wanting to be there in person. I could invent my own words, tackle obstacles as big as my imagination, and take in every detail with wides eyes, mouth agape.

7. The Bible- Some of the stories told are truly amazing, and I would want to experience them firsthand. Jesus's miracles were so cool, and some of the Old Testament feats were awesome.

8. The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series- Wolf, Torak, and Renn are, like, the awesomest people ever, and Wolf isn't even a person. It would be cool seeing what Clan I would be in, and how the way of life would be. I love the outdoors, fishing, and animals, so that setting would be perfect for me!

Thanks for the fun tag, Kendra! I tag:

. Adria

. Kiki

. Twinkle Toes

. The Cornet Crazie

. Golden Eagle

. Elrania

. Emma

. Nahla of the Eastern Winds

Sorry if you've already been tagged, and enjoy!

Teen Girl's Daybook Week 18

Date... Friday, April 9, 2010

Starting time... 12:37 pm

Mood... excited

Outside my window... the sun is shining!! finally!

I'm reading... nothing ):

I'm listening to... Fresh Meat 2

I'm wearing... frog shorts, field day tee, and black zip hoodie

Yesterday, I... got my braces adjusted

I'm excited for... seeing Remember Me with my friend today!

I'm sad because... i might not go shopping tomorrow with my friends ):

I'm hungry for... tater tots!

The song stuck inside my head is... You Belong With Me- Taylor Swift

I want... easier plans

I love... movies

I loathe... feeling gross

This week, my goal is... to find cheap shorts for spring!

Did I meet last week's goal?... no >:(

Ending time... 12:48 pm (i took a tot break in the middle ;) )

Spring is Here!

The ladybugs are crawling everywhere as the warm breeze swishes across my Cheeto-stained fingers typing away. This can only mean one thing- spring has sprung. I pray that I haven't spoken too soon.

Yesterday, I laughed-out-loud when I had to break out my flowy tanks and cuffed shorts to go see The Last Song with my cousins. The only difference between that and summer was that I had to grab a light jacket and my Chuck Taylors, a difference that I am perfectly content with. Today is strikingly hotter, and it was jeans day at school, making my spring-fevered legs overheat. Otherwise, today was the picture of near-perfection.
In the morning, once I got to school, we had a meeting of the Olweuss Bullying Program that my school just started. Then, we went on a super-fun Easter egg hunt with our kindergarten buddies on the playground. Afterwards there was an assembly in the gym with a magician/juggler/ventriloquist. It was alright. We had a read-a-thon until lunch, then music class, and lastly we read picture books to our buddies. My buddy finally likes me, lol.
Did I forget to mention yesterday that on Tuesday 2 boys in my grade got into a fistfight in the hallway? In front of 3rd graders, too. One of the math teachers tried to break it up, but she's small and thin, and almost got pulled into it! It was crazy. My fabulous crush (*blushes*) pulled one boy off of the other and held him against a wall. I didn't see the fight, though, and I don't know how I feel about that.

Ps. I think it's time to get rid of the blog's snowfall... ;)

I'm Back!

Hey! Omigosh, I can't believe I haven't blogged in so long. I'm not dead, or quitting, or anything like that. I've just been really busy, and so many things have been going on! Anyway, yesterday was my sister's 16th birthday (!!!), so I couldn't post then, but today I left school early to hang out with my cousins, and because I'm sick XP
Since my birthday, I have been doing a lot of different things. On Saturday, March 13, I competed in the Power of the Pen regional competition with 200 other middle-schoolers. No one on my team won an award, but my friend Katie and I made it to State! The state competition is in May, and I'm really excited. I'll post some of my short stories later :)
A few weeks ago my grandma from Florida came to visit for St. Patrick's Day. She was born in England but was half Irish, and she grew up in Northern Ireland. My dad was born in the Emerald Isle, but moved around a lot. My grandma, we call her Nanny, still has an Irish accent and a very Irish attitude. We did a lot with her, went shopping, out to eat, and to a St. Patty's party at my friend Meghan's house. It was a really fun week, full of laying out in the party house listening to olf Irish folk songs, drinking cool drinks and eating fatty foods.
Last Friday, the 26th, my cousins from up north came to visit for the week. Friday night was my Power of the Pen pizza party (to which I wore my new super cool Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles t-shirt), then the family arrived. That night, we played Sims, watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and were the silly crazies we always are when we're together. Saturday, we went shopping at the outlet mall and the flea market, and I got tons of cool stuff. Saturday night we went hot-tubbing outside, but it was kind of warm outside, so it wasn't that great. We played truth or dare, though ;). On Sunday we went to the aquarium and had tons of fun looking at the fishes and stuff. Monday, I had school, and a few of my cousins had to leave. Yesterday, we went to my sister's lacrosse game, then to LoneStar <3 Today, I went to school in the morning and got a cupcake, then went home sick.
And that's what I've been up to. How has your month been?

(I'll try to remember to post my PoP stories soon!)

Thirteen XD

Sooo, I haven't posted in a while, been busy with procrastination and stuff... Anyway, today is my thirteenth birthday! I'm so excited, I'm finally a teenager! Tonight we are going to Applebee's to celebrate, but I can't do much else like have a party or anything this weekend because:
Tomorrow, I don't have school, and I might go to the movies to see Alice in Wonderland with the besties, then nothing, and my parents will be busy, so they can't take me anywhere.
Saturday, I have the Power of the Pen Regional Competition from 8-3, then I have to get my grandma from the airport and go to a St. Patrick's Day party at 7.
Sunday, I don't really have anything planned, maybe lunch with a friend or seeing Alice in Wonderland if Friday doesn't work out.

Roar. But I've already gotten some awesome stuff from my friends at school, such as:
A drawing of a ninja Sensei frog from Steven- you do not understand how excited I am about this. He reads these Naruto anime comics, and in one of them there are all of these sweet frogs that I named as my best friends a few weeks ago. His drawing is actually really good, and he even colored it and everything XD
A bunny eraser from the office, a few coins found on the blacktop by my friends, a birthday pencil, lipgloss, Trident layers, and a pack of hairbands from my friend that I always borrow them from in gym :) I love my friends.

So, this post really has no structure or flow, but I'll just run with it.
I can't wait to see Alice in Wonderland with my friends, since we dressed up as the original cast for Halloween XD
Since we're going on our trip to Europe this summer, I only really had two items on my wishlist: a Flip video camera and the CD 'Far' by Regina Spektor (I'm really into her now... YOU BETTER BE OK WITH THAT!! [sorry, stewie quote :)]). I'm fairly certain that I will get both, and I figured with my birthday money I could buy an underwater case for the Flip (works up to depths of 30 feet!). This has been a really good birthday so far :D

And Happy *Late* Birthday, Adria!

An Inspired Young Woman's Daybook (2)

Find out how to do An Inspired Young Woman's Daybook here: Vividry: An Inspired Young Woman's Daybook

Today I… sang "I Will Survive" with my guy friends :)
I'm feeling... perplexed and excited
My outfit is... just my school uniform. Blahh.
Outside my window… most of the snow has melted :)

A song that's stuck in my head... It Comes Naturally- Selena Gomez
Something (a book, song, movie, person...) that's inspired me recently... is the crummy weather on my car-rides to school. I come up with some of my cutest, saddest, most romantic "scenes" on those rides.
A prayer of my heart this week... is for the people of Chile, who just experienced an 8.8 magnitude earthquake.
I am creating… some fabulous Polyvore sets :)
I am reading... Skeleton Key, sequel to Point Blank, and To Kill A Mockingbird for school. About to start Jane Eyre!
I am thinking... that I need to go to the library.
A scripture verse or passage that's stuck out to me this week... is the one about the blind beggar, who was cured by Jesus. When the crowd saw that he was no longer blind, they thought he was a sinner and doubted Jesus. Jesus said that they were blind. I don't know, it's just carried me through the week.
A spiritual lesson I'm learning... is to have no doubt in God and to accept his plan.
An attribute of God I've seen this week… is His wisdom. He knows exactly which scripture passage I need, and gives it to me on my Bible bookmark- 30 Days of Scripture.
A picture I’d like to share… is of a beautiful yellow fish. I thought it was so graceful and elegant, but at the same time so vibrant and alive.

(meh, meh, meh! My picture upload isn't working ):)
A creative goal for next week... is to be more helpful around the house.
Did I complete my goal from last week... no ): sadly. but I'm going to work on it today!
