12 days of Christmas

So, I had no idea what to get my mom for Christmas and I knew I owed her something better than just a book or a scarf or something. So I decided to do a 12 days of Christmas thing, before Christmas and I followed what the poem said, and in case you don't know the poem very well here it is:

On the first day of Christmas, 
my true love gave to me 
A partridge in a pear tree. 

On the second day of Christmas, 
my true love gave to me 
Two turtle doves, 
And a partridge in a pear tree. 

On the third day of Christmas, 
my true love gave to me 
Three French hens, 
Two turtle doves, 
And a partridge in a pear tree. 

On the fourth day of Christmas, 
my true love gave to me 
Four calling birds, 
Three French hens, 
Two turtle doves, 
And a partridge in a pear tree. 

On the fifth day of Christmas, 
my true love gave to me 
Five golden rings, 
Four calling birds, 
Three French hens, 
Two turtle doves, 
And a partridge in a pear tree. 

On the sixth day of Christmas, 
my true love gave to me 
Six geese a-laying, 
Five golden rings, 
Four calling birds, 
Three French hens, 
Two turtle doves, 
And a partridge in a pear tree. 

On the seventh day of Christmas, 
my true love gave to me 
Seven swans a-swimming, 
Six geese a-laying, 
Five golden rings, 
Four calling birds, 
Three French hens, 
Two turtle doves, 
And a partridge in a pear tree. 

On the eighth day of Christmas, 
my true love gave to me 
Eight maids a-milking, 
Seven swans a-swimming, 
Six geese a-laying, 
Five golden rings, 
Four calling birds, 
Three French hens, 
Two turtle doves, 
And a partridge in a pear tree. 

On the ninth day of Christmas, 
my true love gave to me 
Nine ladies dancing, 
Eight maids a-milking, 
Seven swans a-swimming, 
Six geese a-laying, 
Five golden rings, 
Four calling birds, 
Three French hens, 
Two turtle doves, 
And a partridge in a pear tree. 

On the tenth day of Christmas, 
my true love gave to me 
Ten lords a-leaping, 
Nine ladies dancing, 
Eight maids a-milking, 
Seven swans a-swimming, 
Six geese a-laying, 
Five golden rings, 
Four calling birds, 
Three French hens, 
Two turtle doves, 
And a partridge in a pear tree. 

On the eleventh day of Christmas, 
my true love gave to me 
Eleven pipers piping, 
Ten lords a-leaping, 
Nine ladies dancing, 
Eight maids a-milking, 
Seven swans a-swimming, 
Six geese a-laying, 
Five golden rings, 
Four calling birds, 
Three French hens, 
Two turtle doves, 
And a partridge in a pear tree. 

On the twelfth day of Christmas, 
my true love gave to me 
Twelve drummers drumming, 
Eleven pipers piping, 
Ten lords a-leaping, 
Nine ladies dancing, 
Eight maids a-milking, 
Seven swans a-swimming, 
Six geese a-laying, 
Five golden rings, 
Four calling birds, 
Three French hens, 
Two turtle doves, 
And a partridge in a pear tree! 

It's the longest song ever haha, but anyways in case you want some idea but can't afford to get an actually Partridge or a pear tree or six geese, then you can do these things. So on the first day I didn't really have anything so I gave my mom a rose instead, but you could also give them a pear or something like that. On the next day you can give them the candy turtles and doves and you have turtle doves ha. The 3rd day I gave my mom chicken in a biscuit, I know it's not a French Hen, but hey it's pretty close and she really likes those. The 4th day I'm going to give her a really annoying squeaking bird, because she likes thinks that make noise... I have no idea why. On the 5th day I went to amazon.com and bought her (with the help of my dad) a "gold" ring. It wasn't very expensive, and it's really cute. I haven't gotten everything yet so I don't really know what I'm going to do for the 6th day, I know that's no help to you. The 7 day I got her a swan necklace, and again really cheap but still good quality. On the 8th day I got her a stuffed cow, she could also get a goat or something too ... anything that's milkable. I got her a dancing game for the 9th day because she's trying to lose weight and I know she'll really like it. I have no idea what to do for the 10th day ha. The eleventh day I'm burning her a CD of Music she likes. The 12th day again I still don't know, so if you guys have any ideas let me know! Thanks!

Why are they so addicting?

Do you have a facebook? A twitter? Do you watch television? If you answered yes to any of these questions, are you addicted to them? Did you know that there are 500 million active users on Facebook? On twitter there a 200 million active users and 97 people will join or have joined just today. Just in the U.S. there are 240 million people watching TV at this very moment. Why though?

For twitter, it's the simplicity. It's so easy to let people know what you're doing strait from a text. There aren't very many things to do on there, which makes it less "annoying" for some people. Yes, twitter doesn't have as many users as facebook, but even the users for facebook are annoyed with it (like me), and facebook also started out earlier that twitter by 2 years. I like twitter so I know what's going on in my friends lives and I don't need to have a huge amount of people following me either. People that use twitter more than 20 times in a month tend to get more addicted than those that only get on once in a while, so that may be the cause huh?

Facebook is a little more addictive than twitter (at least for me), but I've had it longer and I also use it for school too. Some of my teachers have facebook pages to update students on what's going on in class and what we have for homework. Facebook is place where you can talk to friends easily. Facebook's also the most popular website in America, how it got this popular though people don't know for sure, but there a few possibilities. 1. The social network. 2. People telling their friends about it. 3. easy to use. Whatever it is, we all know we're a little addicted.

Television has been around for a while, and almost everyone single household in the U.S. has one. It used to be rare to have a TV not too long ago, but now you're rare if you don't have one. There are so many television shows and movies out there and people can be so lazy and watch TV for hours. If you don't have cable though, it could be a little boring because you don't have much to choose from. Studies show that if younger kids watch TV more than 12 hours a week they will become addicted when they get older. Watching TV shortens your life span, not by damaging your brain, but by lack of exercise. So if you jog in place, lift weights, or do some other form of exercise you should be okay. Knowing what's going on in the world is also a major factor to addiction, but for adults. People want to know what's going on in their communities and the environment that they watch the news for about an hour and then after that they have a popular show come on and then you want to watch that too. So every show you watch just keeps leading you to addiction.

If you think you're addicted to the computer or TV go outside and doing something, if you're not still go out and do something active to increase your life span. Don't sit around being lazy because that's not helping you accomplish anything. For me, when I'm done with homework I'm going to go hang outside for a while and be active.. unless it's too cold. (:

Holy Wind!

Let’s talk about that storm! This storm has made me so grateful for the Internet, television, and heat! Our trees, which aren’t pine trees, haven’t fallen yet but I expect them to tip soon. This is the worst storm I’ve ever seen, and I used to live in tornado valley! (I’m probably exaggerating a lot but it was bad.)

I decided that I wasn’t going to go to school because I wasn’t feeling very well that morning. If I went, and I’m glad that I didn’t, I would have been stuck in a dark gym waiting for my parents to come pick me up. I was sitting at home, my mom had come home by then, and the power would turn off and then back on. It was really annoying because it kept doing this over and over again until it finally just turned off all together. It was so cold I had sweats, sweaters, and blankets. Yet, I was still freezing and kept shivering, that dumb electricity.

In my backyard we have huge trees and every now and then you can hear a little snapping noise. My mother and I went for a drive in the middle of the storm and we went to see her old neighborhood. “In the middle of the night we just heard a huge crash,” An older man said to us as we stopped to see all the damage done. If you travel through the county it’s like all hell broke loose, or someone really pissed off Mother Nature. There was a house that was lifted up by the roots of tree too!

“If lived in this town 71 years this is bad, it’s the worst it’s been in years,” An elderly man had stated on KSL news. I’ve lived here since I was six and there has never been anything this bad. I hope that the people that have had tons of damage done to their homes are okay and that it won’t cost them too much money. I’m also hoping that none of the trees in my backyard tumble over and crash on my house and that we can trim them as soon as possible. This is one of the craziest storms of my life. Luckily there isn’t any school tomorrow.

Well, I’m hoping that this will all turn out well (even though I know that it’s a disaster). I’m glad that they’ve excused school until next Monday because it’s gives be a chance to get everything done that I’ve been putting off for a while. I’m sure we’ll be hearing about his for a while. Stay warm and well and good luck to those of you who are having trouble.

Thanksgiving

We often take what we have for granted. We've all experienced at least one tragedy in our lives, and everyday we hope that we could take the terrible moments out of our lives and replace them with grate ones. We need to think of all the wonderful things we are able to have in our lives and be thankful that we still have them. I don't mean cell phones, I-pods, laptops, or I-pads, but things that will always matter.

For me, I'm grateful that I have my parents and step-parents to guide me in my life. I will always be thankful for family because we've been through so much together and they've always been there for me when I needed help. I'm also thankful for friends to help, care, teach, entertain and just make me smile. Food! I'm really grateful for that, it's what keeps me alive... well that and water... I love water.(: Education is something that will always be a huge part of my life and I'm very grateful for that. I'm thankful for the ability to read and write, play instruments, sing (even though I might not be very good I'm just glad I have a voice) and for being healthy. I'm thankful for all of my many talents, my pets, the sun, my organs, my arms and legs, music, books, and my sense of humor(: ha ha. I'm grateful for the many forms or art, Google, transportation, the gym (I might be a fatty if I didn't have that ha), and a house to live in (2 houses actually). I'm thankful for the piano, guitar, bassoon, and I would say flute but I don't really like that one all that well. I'm grateful for calculators, pencils & pens, paper, and tape. And I wouldn't get any paper if we didn't have any trees so I'm pretty grateful for those so I can climb up them and I'm thankful for the oxygen I get from them. Flowers, they're so pretty so I'm thankful for them and bees, even though they sting you they give you honey. I'm grateful for cows so I can have dairy products, and I'm grateful for the people that grow our food. I'm thankful for my eyes so I can see all the beauty in the world, so I'm also thankful for the pretty things there are.

There are so many things out there to be thankful for, I would have typed some more things but I have such a long list and I think you would get bored reading that for like two hours. I'm so thankful that there is a day where people can take a break from work and school and all the stress and be thankful for what they have in their lives. I'm thankful for the people who fought and those who are still fighting for our freedom because they've risked their lives to make ours better. I hope you all have lots of things to be grateful for and have a safe and great Thanksgiving!

a friend(:

A true friend is something that everyone wants. Someone that they can to go to when they need to have a shoulder to cry on, tell all their secrets too, or just talk in general. Someone, that no matter what goes on in life they’ll always be there for you. Laugh, cry, scream, yell and they will not even judge you as long as you are just being you of course.

“To have a friend, you’ve got to be a friend.” A quote that almost everyone in the world has heard even if it’s in a different language, it still means the same thing. This right here is so true, more true than what I thought at first. I know I have friends and all, but haven’t you ever felt like you’re the only one in the world and you have no one to turn to? Then, when you hear the quote above you just say to yourself, “but I have been a friend, why then, is this happening to me?” Well, unfortunately I don’t have the answers, because this is happening to me right now.

I just feel like I’m being ignored all the time and left out too. There’s a party tomorrow and all of my friends are going, except for me. Today at lunch I was sitting next to one of my best friends and he just got up and left he didn’t even talk to me after school. “Is it something I did?” I ask myself this question all the time and I never was able to come up with the answer to my question except, “You have no one to turn to right now, and it is your fault.” I couldn’t stop saying this to myself because I did not know the answer to my own question.

I’ve realized lately that I need to stop caring about the number of friends I have, and care about the friends I have. I once heard a quote, “I friend to all is a friend to none.” This totally blew my mind when I first heard it, but now I get it. I don’t need to be a good friend to every one, but I need to be a great friend to few. My mom always said I didn’t need to have so many friends and I just looked at her like she was crazy. “You never can have too many friends.” I was so wrong, and I need to thank my mother for helping me realize this.

Once again I hope you guys (my readers, very few of you ha ha) learn from my mistakes, if you haven’t learned this already. It took me a while and I hope it doesn’t take you guys very long to notice this. I hope that I learn to be a better friend, still be nice to everyone, but be a true friend to the ones that I really need to keep, the ones that will help me become a better person.

The person I want to be

I like the person I've become but I always have known that I can still do better. The world today isn't the best, there's the really nice people that everyone loves but they don't feel so secure about themselves. There's also the people that just don't fit in, but they are the kindest people you'd ever meet. Rude people, popular people, fake people, amazing people, where ever you go you'll always find these types of personalities.

I've really been thinking about how people see me. I don't know if this is something I should be really worried about, but I know I am. I want to be the kind of person that everyone can turn to and trust and always want to be around and I know I'm not always that person. I've decided that I want to make some goals for myself just to do everyday acts of kindness. I have a little story for you that is true, but I've changed some things to protect some people.

There was a little girl that had a mental disorder. She had a little trouble with people and had a hard time at school. She was so cute and then one day she had to move to a different state. When she moved in there was a younger girl named Amanda about the same age as her that came to visit. They became very good friends and the little girl wondered why she liked her so much. Amanda told her she was friends with her because she was such a great person and she was beautiful inside and out. The little girl was soon getting teased and she was abused. She had things thrown at her, people called her names, hit her, and just simply enjoyed teasing her, but she never had a bad word to say about them and she always forgave them.

Amanda was friends with the most popular guy in the school, Carson, and they both made it a goal to keep the girl safe. They protected her for as long as they could. When people realized that two popular people were being so kind to her they knew that they had done something very wrong. People started become very nice to her. She was so grateful for Amanda and Carson, and enjoyed talking to them everyday. A couple months later the girl got very sick and couldn't go to school any longer. She passed away about 4 months after she got sick and about 400 people showed to her funeral. Amanda and Carson were in awe when they saw all the people and knew the girl was pleased.

I'm going to make an effort to:
1. Say "hello" to 3 different people I don't know a week.
2. Invite someone to come sit with me at lunch.
3. Walk with someone to our class.
4. Make someone smile everyday.
5. Help everyone in need.

When I come up with other goals I'll let you guys know ha ha ha. Be kind to everyone!

Science, I'm good at it(:

Science hasn't always been my best subject, and I don't know if it will ever be but I'd like to hope so. I like it (sometimes) and get it (sometimes), but I kind of wished that I had my own little personal teacher. I think a lot of students would enjoy that because to me you learn more, because you have to be more involved. I mean, you can't be the only student and just sit there not saying anything the whole time... that would be dumb. Sometimes I'll just be sitting there in class when a teacher is giving us students a lecture and it goes in one ear and out the other and I have no idea what they just said... even if it was a minute ago.

I hate the moment where teachers are talking and rambling on about the lesson they're teaching, and then they pause. You ask yourself, "Why in the heck did they just stop talking? Oh, crap! He's looking at me!"

Then he looks at you and says, "So what did I just say?"

You look at him with a blank expression and you're so embarrassed and you just say quietly. "I don't know." Your face is pure red and everyone is just looking at you. Then your teacher gets mad because you weren't listen, which you were, but you can't focus.

This tends to happen to me more often now and sometimes it just makes me feel so stupid and then I wonder if anyone else is having this issue. Then when you look around you see that they're all just staring at your teacher intently and you feel even more stupid. I have this problem almost every single day in my biology class, and with the jobs I'm considering in the future I have to know a lot about science. Then I have to choose something else to be when I grow up, and it turns out that has to do with science too. I guess I like science but comprehending it, well, that's a whole other story.

I used to say that I hated science and that it wasn't going to help me in any way. Boy was I wrong! Now I try to say that I don't hate science, because I really don't. I also used to say that I sucked at science, which I don't I just don't get it very much. I figured out that if I say negative things about it, I am just going to be a very negative person, and I would never want to be that. So if you're having trouble with a subject, don't say you suck at it, don't say you hate it, when you're in the class don't look at the clock every three minutes because it is just going to make it worse for you.

I haven't done a life lesson in a while and I think it's time for one. I don't even remember what number this is so I won't do a number. Life Lesson: Don't say hate, don't say you're bad at something. When you don't say these things then you will have a better experience. Now I just feel like a philosopher, even though it wasn't that good ha ha.

New favorite song!

For the past week and a half...maybe it's been longer than that...who knows? Well I guess I'm supposed to but I tend to forget things a lot haha. So anyway, I heard this song on the radio and loved it, but did the radio station say what it was called? Of course not, why would they do such a silly thing like that? Talk about sarcasm!! So then I heard it on the radio again and guess what?! It didn't have the name of the song again. Then, I went to my dad's house, and of course he doesn't have a computer there, but he does have a radio. I hear the song...AGAIN! This time I'm just totally bugged by this whole thing and I already have the song stuck in my head. Then I started listening to the voice and realized it was Bruno Mars...not my favorite artist, but hey, good song this time. So then I heard it yet another time on the radio and recorded it on my phone and sent it to my friend to see if she knew what it was called and she guessed it was Count on me by Bruno Mars. It sounded right so I went with it. A few days later I get back to my moms house and look it up on the computer and it wasn't the right song!! I typed into google "All songs by Bruno Mars" and clicked search. I played 7 songs till I actually found it. It's It will Rain By Bruno Mars. After all that trouble I love this song even more, surprisingly I thought I would hate it eventually when I found it because it took so long! Anyway hope you enjoy at much as I do! Here's the Lyrics. Go listen to the song while you are at it!

If you ever leave me baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
‘Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don’t have it anymore.

There’s no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I’m makin’
Will keep you by my side
Will keep you from walkin’ out the door.

[Chorus]
Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it will rain, rain, rain...

I’ll never be your mother’s favorite
Your daddy can’t even look me in the eye
Oooh if I was in their shoes, I’d be doing the same thing
Sayin there goes my little girl
Walkin’ with that troublesome guy

But they’re just afraid of something they can’t understand
Oooh well little darlin’ watch me change their mind
Yeah for you I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try
I’ll pick up these broken pieces ’til I’m bleeding
If that’ll make you mine

[Chorus]
Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday it will rain, rain, rain...

[Bridge]
Don’t just say, goodbye
Don’t just say, goodbye
I’ll pick up these broken pieces ’til I’m bleeding
If that’ll make it right

[Chorus]
Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday it will rain, rain, rain...
 

A little bit of a bummer though is that this is played in Breaking Dawn which just kind of ruins it just a little bit for me, but I'll get over it sooner or later.

Story Time!

Running away takes a lot of time. First, you need to know the reason you’re running away. For me, it was escaping the terrible life with my father’s sister, My Aunt Veronica. She was possessed when I turned the age of 12 and became evil. I didn’t want to deal with the fear of her any longer so I wanted to run away. Second, you need to know everything about the people you’re going to leave behind, their schedules, their hobbies, everything. Third, you need to get everything you need, but secretly so the ones you’ll be hiding from wont suspect a thing. Fourth, you need courage to actually run and know where you’re going. The end.

            I thought it would be as easy as that, but the little details are the ones that actually matter the most. It’s crazy how much stress you go through in the time period you’re planning to run. A partner in crime isn’t bad either when you’re running away, but that requires trust, which didn’t come easy to me. I always had trouble with trusting people, good but also bad. The cook’s son lived in the castle with us and I slowly became friends with him, very slowly. His name was Thomas Cross, we met because of his stupid cat.

            Its tail got slammed in my bedroom door and I accidently broke it. I definitely didn’t mean to hit his tail I was just frustrated with Aunt Veronica that I slammed the door and he was in the way of it. I was really sorry for the poor cat, but I knew it would be okay so I just ran downstairs and knocked on the Crosses door. Travis’s expression on his face was a little different that what I thought. “We’re going to have to amputate his tail, cool, I’ve always wanted a cat with no tail!” He said with excitement.

            “You’re so weird.” I explained and walked up the stairs past the kitchen to the grand room to the tall staircase that led to my bedroom. I heard him shut the door.

            When I told him I would be leaving he looked at me with a smile on his face. “I’m coming with you.” He told me.

            “No you’re not, you’re parents will miss you, they’ll come looking for you!” I explained to him a little too loudly.

            “And they wont come for you? You’re the princess and I’m just the cook’s son and I can fend for my self. I’m going with you.” He said with his eyes looking intently at mine.

            “Find, but I want you to get your parent’s permission first.” I told him, not as a suggestion.

            The Crosses’ said that they would soon join us in the other world away from the kingdom soon. Travis packed up his belongings and I mine. The next day we would run away. I was nervous, but knew I would be free forever and be worry free too. I was so glad this would all end so soon, but the plan had to be successful. That would be the start of the new beginning.

            A quarter after midnight I heard the footsteps of Travis getting closer to my door. I put on my boots and cloak, grabbed my bad, and twisted the door handle. The Guard’s sticks were set in their places and they were all asleep. The Watch Dog’s barks weren’t heard and all was still.  The children’s breathing was in patterns while in a deep sleep. It was time to go.

            “Why is your heart pounding so fast?” I asked Travis.

            “That’s yours, not mine!” I looked at my chest and I could see it moving along with the beat I heard very clearly in my ears.

            We walked a little further, but I knew we were being followed. I could hear footsteps along with ours and when we stopped they stopped. I was so scared and I could see that Travis was too. I took out my pocketknife and held it right in front of my stomach pointing strain ahead. “Annabelle, get on my left side.” He said quietly.

            “No, I can’t, I can’t see you that well either.” I explained to him.

            “Annabelle take two steps back and then turn around facing the other direction and walk 3 steps to your right.” He said quietly and slowly.

            “I can’t.” I cried.

            “Annabelle, you have to trust me.” He was crying.

            I did as I was told and took two steps back and as I was turning around I felt someone breathing by my forehead and my knife slipped right into the individuals stomach. “What do I do with my knife?” I asked nervously. I heard the person moan and gasp for air, Veronica.

            “Take it out and aim again higher on the count of three. One…two...three!” He screamed and I did as I was told and blocked her knife with mine and stabbed her in the heart this time.

I started screaming. “Annabelle, stay quiet and just put the knife in your pack.” He advised me. I tried staying quiet and took the knife again. He saved my life and I his and without trust we probably wouldn’t be here today.

            Veronica didn’t die, but the evil spirit did. I saw that there was no point in running away after that scary moment. Travis and I went back to the kingdom and we are living happily ever after with Veronica, his parents, and everyone there. The End.

Just a little story I found that I wrote last year, hope you liked it.

Ugh! *face palm*

Don't you just hate it when people act stupid but they're really not? Things I heard today... just in one class period!
"I heard that Niagara Falls has a lot of water!" -anonymous (because I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings)
Teacher: "Yes, yes it does." *smiling trying to hide the anger deep inside her heart*
Me sitting in the back of the room: Ugh! *face palm*

"Hey ____(insert rare name), what did I just say?"
"Are you talking to me?" **twists hair and laughs**
"No the ______(other person with same rare name as you!!!)"
Ugh! *face palm*

And then there's the people that think they're really funny and like to make smart ...butt remarks.
"You are welcome to go do your work in the office if you'd like because you're obviously not doing it pleasantly in here."
"I'm am doing my work."
"Not pleasantly." *THE GRIMACE*
"I'm smiling, that's pleasant." *Grimaces back at teacher*
me: Ugh! *face palm*

and you'd think after that my face would hurt from all of those face palms, but then I get home and my Mom says "Do the dishes!"
me: "A little busy at the moment."
Mom: "I need it done now!"
me: "I can't!" geez she makes me want to give her a face palm! My face was the only one around so I guess you know what happened next...."DO THE DISHES!!"
*face palm* My face is red now.

2. Move like Jagger- Maroon 5 ft Christina Aguilera- This song actually isn't my favorite I can listen to it, but too much of it makes me bored. I'm a fan of Christina Aguilera but after watching the voice I didn't like her as much. Maroon 5 is a great bad. I give them 3 stars ***

3. We found love by Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris- Good song! I actually like this one of Rihannas, I usually like her songs at first, but then I just get sick of them and they're not very good songs anyways. I like this one though props to Rihanna! 4 stars ****

4. Sexy and I know it by LMFAO- Yuck! I really don't like any of there songs this one is all right but it's gross. I'm sick of their songs. 1 star *

5. Without you by David Guetta- I like this song I haven't heard it much though. There's some parts that aren't my favorite though. 3 stars ***

6. Pumped up kicks by Foster the People- Over played! I really liked this one at first and now I dislike it very much. A lot of people have ruined this song for me too so I guess it's not all of the songs fault. 3 stars ***

7. Stereo Hearts by Gym class heroes ft. Adam Levine - Love it! I hear this song over and over and I still like it! 5 stars *****

8. Set fire to rain by Adele- I love this song so much it's amazing! I've loved it ever since I heard it! 5 stars *****

9. You make me feel by Cobra Starship- I really like this song! I don't have much to say about it that's bad so 4 stars ****

10. Rolling in the Deep by Adele - over played and I don't like it very much. I wish they didn't play it as much so I might like it better. 3 stars ***

PROPS TO ADELE BEING ON THE LIST 3 TIMES!!!

Strength, speed, endurance, invisibility, perfection, x-ray vision and stamina are just some powers that these people have, we call them superheroes.

You don’t have to have all of these powers to be a superhero though. Anyone can be a hero if they do their best to help and care. The sad thing though, is that people don’t even take the time anymore to be a good person. Is it too much to ask for someone to be kind to people? A little act of service really isn’t going to kill you. Kids and teens in our generation care too much about themselves and not enough about helping those in need. I don’t want to be known as the generation that “didn’t care” I want our generation to be known as the “people who wouldn’t stop caring.”

A little act of service can go a long way. Just stopping to talk to someone can make their day better knowing that people care. When people hear the word service they think about something dreadful and too hard to do, when really you could just help someone with their groceries that’s a great act of service. People that serve become a hero because they learn that they are not the most important thing in the world and they care about others. I’m not saying to be selfless just be less selfish. Others will recognize that you’re such a great person and you will be known for that for the rest of your life.

Our generation will be known as one of the best if we serve those who need just a little help, instead of sitting on our butts playing video games, or computer games or watching the T.V. all day. You’ll rot your brain if that is the only thing you do, not literally but pretty darn close to that. I challenge everyone to do at least one act of service every day, because it can help people and change you as a person. You’ll be happier if you do these things, I promise.

So go out there and be a hero! Show the world that we’re the best they’ve got. We have such great powers like selflessness, integrity, honesty, courage and trust such genuine qualities.

Little tricks to do in public

Okay so I was just a little board and asked people what crazy things they've done in public hope you like them... and yes I've done a couple of these things too.
1. Order a Cheese burger without the cheese.
2. Chase imaginary things down the street while saying, "Come here ____!"
3. Write down deep questions on the toilet paper in a public bathroom.
4. Pay for something entirely in pennies.
5. Go to Wendy's and order 25 things, then when they give you your food say that's not what you ordered.
6. Stand really close to someone in an elevator and sniff them occasionally.
7. Go to a theater and DON'T put your phone on silent.
8. Laugh loudly at very corny jokes.
9. Place things on peoples heads.
10. Have an argument with yourself.
11. Carry around bags of sugar and walk up to people and say, "Hi my name is Bob and I'm running for governor." Give them the bag and run away saying, "vote for me!"
12. On your car write "HELP ME" in red(blood).
13. another one that requires a car: Stick a barbie out of the window/sunroof and make it dance.
14. go to a store and say "who buys this crap anyway?" rude, but kinda funny.
15. Move "caution: wet floor" signs to a carpeted area.
16. Randomly throw things over neighboring isles when you're at wal-mart or target or any other store.
17. In a bathroom: Using a small squeeze tube, spread peanut butter on a wad of toilet paper and drop the wad under the stall wall of your neighbor. Then say, "Whoops, could you kick that back over here please?"hahahaha.
18. Drop a marble and say, "Oh crap! My glass eye!"
19. order a diet water.
20. when going through a drive through ask if you can take it to go.

Some of these are a little dumb, but others are really funny I hope you enjoyed some of these!(:

Those that are younger than us

These week has been a little better than most, but what would be even better is if I didn't have to deal with 7th and 8th graders. They are so annoying and think they're funny and cool and awesome, but they really aren't. I mean yeah, it's kind of rude to say this but it's true. I only know a couple of 8th graders and 7th graders that I'm okay with and I'm glad they're trying to be an example to those who are very immature.

Today has probably been the worst though. I was in 2nd period and I have a whole bunch of 8th graders in there that yell and say "crop it!" I want to seriously punch them in the face to hard that it's indented for a thousand years. I think 8th graders are worse than the 7th because they are finally no longer little sad sevies, they need to get over themselves. Why can't 9th graders be in high school?! The maturity levels are like this:

          __9th graders___
        /
      /
    /
  /  <---them
/
End of story.

The school district should transfer the 9th graders to high school because I can't deal with it any longer!

Can't decide!

I tend to get lectures about how I need to make my own decisions, I would if I could though. I can never make up my mind and I have no idea why.
"What do you want for dinner?"
"I don't know."
"Which shirt do you like better?"
"I don't know."
"How's homework going?"
"I don't know."
"Are you doing your homework?"
"Uhhh...yeah? haha."
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
I don't know yet, I can't decide."
 The list goes on an on, and it doesn't really matter what people ask me I either say "I don't know" or come up with something pointless to say. I really hate how I can't decide and I know my parents don't appreciate it very much either. I really know things, I'm not stupid I think it's just a normal teenage thing. And then there is the things I change my mind about all the time.
"what's your favorite color?"
"purple I think? Wait no! it's orange now!"
"Are you still wanting to be a vet, I know how you like to change what you want to be a lot."
"Yeah, I changed it again, I want to be an Opthamologist."
*Next week that will probably change AGAIN*
But I've now finally realized that I have a couple more years till I have to actually decide. I'm just thinking about my future big time, that's what I do and I'm hard on myself. I don't mean to be, but I guess that's how I've been getting my 4.0 GPA and already doing stuff to get scholarships. I'm on my way to a great future, I hope. I want to learn to make decisions right away. I need to make my mind up because one day I could make a stupid choice and my world could be turned up side down. I don't want my life to be full of "I don't know". I'll make my mind up sooner or later.

Different from the others (Thompsons Idea)

Some of the decisions I've made in life could be concidered different and my life might be concidered different from others too. When I decided I was going to play the bassoon, everyone said that was different. I'm the only chile that lives at home and most of my friends have siblings at their houses so I guess that's different too. My family situation (it's not bad or anything) is different from a lot of people I know concidering I don't know one of my brothers and I have a step-brother and for 7 years I thought I actually was an only child. My taste in music is different from other types. I have wierd friends, but I guess that's normal haha. When I tell people that I've lived in Missouri they think that's kind of facinating. I get along with adults more than the average teenager because I've been around them my whole life.

I guess I'm different from a lot of people, but know one is the same as the other person. We're all different in our own ways some of them good and some of them aren't very good. In the end though we all get along and I think that's because of our differences. People are interested in things they've never done before and when you meet someone that's been skydiving you want to know about that. I guess it's a good thing I'm different from my friends and family, because I don't like being the same because it's boring. I love myself and who I am(: ...that was really cheesy haha.

Songs of my life(:

There's a few songs out there that I hate and every time I listen to them I get really annoyed. I think Lady Gaga annoys me the most, her songs are catchy and all but after the fifth time I'm just done with it. Her are a few songs that I love though.

"Follow Me" by Uncle Kracker

You don't know how you met me
You don't know why
You can't turn around and say goodbye
All you know is when I'm with you
I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I'm singin'
[CHORUS]
Follow me everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you
Want to leave I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me
I'm not worried 'bout the ring you wear
Cuz as long as no one knows than nobody can care
You're feelin' guilty and I'm well aware
But you don't look ashamed and baby I'm not scared
I'm singin'
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Won't give you money
I can't give you the sky
You're better off if you don't ask why
I'm not the reason that you go astray and
We'll be all right if you don't ask me to stay
[REPEAT CHORUS]
You don't know how you met me
You don't know why
You can't turn around and say goodbye
All you know is when I'm with you
I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I'm singin'
[REPEAT CHORUS]



I have this song memorized since I was three and I still love it even if I don't know the meaning too well it's a great song.


"Someone Like You" By Adele

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Yeah.
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday it was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over, yeah.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.


The Very first time I heard this song I loved it and now I'm learning to play it on the piano I don't think I'll ever get sick of it!

The Little Visits to the Doc

I hate the doctors! I really do! I mean yeah...sure... they help you and all, but that's after the little tortures you have to go through beforehand. No, I'm not talking about getting shots or anything because I rarely get those dumb things.. I'm talking about going to the eye doctors! Scary stuff right there. I had to have my eyes dilated, and if you've never had it done it feels really weird. They numb your eyes and then they put this weird blue light on your eye and then it goes all blurring and you can't see for hours.

Now if you know me, can you imagine what I was going through and saying while my eyesight was rapidly getting worse. I was freaking out! I just kept rambling on about how I couldn't see the labels of the hand sanitizer or the business card to my left or my fingers! I couldn't see my fingers!! I was hysterical and I'm pretty sure everyone that heard me while I was there was like, "who in the heck is that crazy person in there?" My Mother on the other hand was sitting in a chair across the room laughing at me!" I wasn't really in pain, but still she was laughing at me telling me that I was a freak. That was the last thing I wanted to here.

On our way home I realized that I had to finish a packet in science, write two essays, and do my math homework. That was when I thought I was going to fail the 9th grade. If I couldn't see my hands imagine how hard it was going to be for me to see words in a book. I got so tired of people texting me because I couldn't understand what they were saying so I just turned my phone off. I then had a huge headache from the ride home and fell asleep for about an hour, by that time it was 6 P.M. and I hadn't done anything. I knew I was going to be screwed.

Besides my homework, my pupils were gigantic, I had to wear these weird eye cover things, and when I was able to take them off everything looked yellow. When I finally got to see my eyes I couldn't see anything but my pupil, I have to admit I looked like a creepy weird freak with huge black eyes. I've now learned that when your doctor asks you if you want to have your eyes dilated, say no. No!! I don't ever want to do that again and if I do, I'll have someone to drive me back and it'll be on a weekend.

Life Lesson #5: Once again, you're going to learn from my mistakes, schedule your doctors appointments on weekends. Life Lesson #6 Have someone with  you that can drive, because you won't want to be driving after that. Life Lesson #7 Say no!! If you have no idea what's going to happen to you, just say, "No thank you." Life Lesson #8 If you have homework, don't procrastinate. And Life Lesson #9 Don't fall asleep, that was a big mistake too I think on my part I couldn't have had an extra hour to do homework and I didn't do it. I hope you have a nice weekend or week whenever you're reading this, and be thankful you can see the computer screen(:

Homework 101

Homework  (hmwûrk)
n. 1. Work, such as schoolwork or piecework, that is done at home.

Also known as pointless junk that I dislike very much, but I have so much right now. Life lesson #2: (#1 was in my last post) go to school and never miss a day if you can, if you're like on your death bed or just really sick... please, please, don't go to school. We wouldn't want you to have an accident. Anyway, go to school everyday because if you don't you'll have to make up a lot of work that you missed.

Life lesson #3: Don't get too stressed out about your grades and homework, the more you stress out the more your work will stink. Relax a little before you do your work and when you think you're at the point where you're going to do the best essay in the world, hurry and do it. I've learned this from past experience... my mistakes in life will help you with yours.

Life lesson #4: Stay positive, if you say you're going to fail a test, chances are you probably will. I know this doesn't sound very supportive but just deal with it. The day you're going to have a huge test or a quiz or anything important for that matter just say, "I'm not going to fail, I'm going to get an A+ on this test, and I'm going to do the best work I've ever done in my life." Good luck. I hope you enjoyed reading this, and I hope it will help you in life. Have a nice day.

Nothing turning into something

     Blog. It sounds like a disease, just say it, "blog". It could also be used as an insult, "You little blog". I never had a blog before that I actually used and will use for a while. I usually just set them up thinking I'll write stuff for a really long time and it will be really cool, but that never actually happens. I run at of things to say because in the beginning I really have no idea what I'm going to even talk about.
    
     Life lesson number one: Don't start a blog without an idea, and with that idea you need to be able to expand on it. I feel sometimes that I have really good advise and I might just put that advise on my posts. Please, do not be afraid to tell me my advise sucks, I never follow it anyway, unless it super duper good advise.  Now I've run out of things to say, I learned that when I just ramble on I'll come up with an idea or two. So I'll just say a lot about nothing until I get a great idea.
    
     I've always wondered how we get ideas into our brain. I guess our brains are just cool like that. I mean they do everything for us. They're really useful and we couldn't live without them. Brain's are the best of friends, they're always there for you, they help you when you need them, they can save your life and on and on and you get the picture. Did you know that when a baby is born there brain weighs about one pound and adult brains are about 3 pounds? well, now you know. It's also 77-78% water and can live 4 to 6 minutes without oxygen, after that the cell begin to die. If you haven't noticed my idea was about brains, and now you learned a couple things from me... unless you already knew that.

Blog Post #1

Hello World!
