Christmas List: Check!

Well, I think its about time I posted. Wanna wish all my readers out there a Merry Christmas. Hope everybody got everything on their lists. If not, wait & try again at New's Years. (Why not?) This post is for the most part a description of several of my gifts. And a few recommendations and an update to my blogging arsenal.

I have been very occupied with a few more technical gifts for a while. My parents went and got me a MP3 player. After I nearly going insane from reading the instruction bookelt which told me nothing about what the heck I was doing, my dad got me to calm down by telling me that if I broke the laptop I would have to cough up 800 to get a new one. There are very few ways I could get that kind of money. Number one being selling the contents of my backpack which I will never do!!! Unless I was going to die if I didn't, which would apply in this case, I would sell the contents of my backpack, including the backpack. I calmed down, re-read the instructions yet again, figured out what I was doing, and started loading up my favorites songs from my favorite cds. I'm getting to the point where I can do it with out going over every step in my head. Yeeha!!

I managed to get myself an icon. Too cool for cool beans!! The character is a pirate with a smart aleck sense of humor, an affinity for shiny things, a talent to talk her way out of most things, and hangs out with a bunch of guys. Sounds like a match to me. It took awhile before I managed to find a picture that I liked. So I will keep it til the sight of it makes me wanna hurl. I hope I don't hurl, because I most likely will have the laptop on my lap. Plus I like this picture.

I also found a new group that I love!! Three Doors Down! I got the Away From the Sun album for Christmas. I have to say my favorite songs on it are Going Down in Flames, Ticket to Heaven, & When I'm Gone. Good songs, good sound, this cd gets my Seal of Approval. But beware those who don't like rock!! Also have been enjoying the sounds of the newset Evanescence and the first Simple Plan cds. Also very good. Check it out. Later though, you have to finish reading my blog.

Now, if I may be allowed to speak as a pirate, this year was especially good for shiny stuff!! Got several really pretty silver earrings from my little friend Phillip. There are even two pairs of hoop earrings!! What is a pirate without the hoop earrings? But my mom topped him: gold earrings with created rubies. And the most awesome ring. It's a replica of one that Captain Jack Sparrow, my pirate idol, wears. The one with the green stone. I'm actually wearing it now and the earrings. To top it off, the ring & the gold earrings came in a little treasure chest of their own. Does that count as support of my dream of becoming a pirate? I'll wonder about that later.

I also was given a navy hoodie with a blue dragon stitched on to it. Also has some flames in blue worked in as well. Very nice, comfortable, and it looks awesome. Gonna have to wear it when I go see Eragon. Very good book, along with a new acquistion I got this Christmas, Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony. Awesome book, another thing for you to check out after you finish here.

As you can see, I am very pleased with all of my presents, the above listed and those not listed. Thanks to my mom & dad, who have perfected the art of picking out from among all my fleeting wants the things I will truely enjoy and use. And remembering things I forgot to put on my list. Hope that all who read this read in good health, surrounded by family & friends, and blessed with many things they probably don't need. Never forger the true reason for the season!! Merry Christmas!!

Random To The Utmost

I don't do well in the cold. I never get used to the time change. I always wake up way early, then get tired alot earlier too. Also tend to forget it gets tons colder when the sun goes down. But it's neat watching the sunset though. Especialy when your driving in the car and you're listening to Daughtry or something else good like that. But I always get tired, cause that makes me sleepy, like running up and down stairs for no good reason. But it's still fun, in an odd sort of way. Like standing in a trash can to push down a bunch of shredded papers. But that leads to odd questions if you forget you're standing in a trash can. Which has happened to me. Then there's also the problem with having to make sure that you have a reliable jacket or something nearby so that if it gets to cold, you can just sleep in that like you would wear it in the day time. I used to do that with my old gray hoodie, but it was getting too small so I gave to Jordan. Now I have a orange hoodie that I use instead. It can be almost as cold in the morning too, so most of the time I have to make hot chocolate with breakfast. I have to make it for my sisters too. They can get really grumpy. Bet Grumpy would have a hard time out grumpying them. But that wouldn't be fair. Two against one? We would have to find somebody else to join Grumpy's team.I wonder if Grumpy would like having a team mate. Hmmm. Must ponder. Is pondering more deep than thinking? Which is deeper, thinking or meditating? I think it must be more complete to meditate, but that can take awhile. Thinking is much faster, I think. That's too confusing. I must think, no, TYPE something else. I can type the word that really fast. That That. That cat is fat. Piflering people pick purple pears, pink purses, plus purloin perilous packages perfectly. Say that five times fast. Why is it five times fast? Why not seven times, or even two? I like three and four myself for numbers. That is a good show, except that is spelled number3, like that. But sometimes that math can get real complicated real fast. I hope I can remember every thing about atomic numbers and likewise science-y stuff when I take my test tommorow. So, yeah.

Yeah, that was a slight waste of time. But it was fun!! Let's do that again!!!

Name Has Been Changed

When go to my school, I usually go over for lunch. I have a few people I like eating with. They can be funny at some points but not on this one. A girl we will call Terri.

I don't know Terri that well. She has glasses and is a little on the heavy side. She is also a couple of grades behind the other kids her age. My friends. They don't like having her sit with them. They don't like having her try to hang out with them. I can't believe them. My friends. When I was younger, there were few things I wanted more than to be accepted.

It made me so mad, I wanted to hit something. I wanted to grab my friends by the shirts and yell in their faces. Ask them if they would like to be called names behind their backs, be ignored, be left out. But I didn't.

They may be in middle school, and that may be the life of a middle schooler. I don't know, I don't watch alot of Disney Chanel and I've never been public schooled. But I do know its wrong, and I do know what I'm gonna do about it. Next time I go to lunch, if my friends want to eat with me, they're gonna have to eat with Terri too.

Raiders of the Messy Dresser

Today, I cleaned out my dresser. The main point is to go through all my dresser drawers, put my clothes in the right drawers, and throw anything that doesn't fit me any more on Jordan's bed. I really should do it more often. After a little while, my dresser gets real messy and I end up wearing the same shirts over and over again. That last sentence sounds bad.

I noticed several things while dresser raiding today, that I have a good stock of black t-shirts and I can count the number of long sleeves in my possesion on two hands. And that having a very small version of one shirt and also a very large version of the same shirt leaves you feeling rather stupid when looking at them side by side, especially when you don't wear either of them. I gave the too small one up and kept too big for pajamas. And I found a rather good stash of ankle socks in my t-shirt drawer. (They go in the pajama drawer too.) I was really surprised when I found three pairs of socks in the PJ drawer.

I gave up about four stacks of clothes to my younger sister. Including my Yoda shirt, a monkey shirt, and four or five orange t-shirts. (Their absence is the reason for the black supremecy of the t-shirt drawer, though it looks like blue may be close on overthrowing them.) I can now also fit all my jeans into the pants drawer! Booyah! The only thing that scares me is the very low number of long sleeves. That and the two very pink shirts that I was horrified to find mingling among my blues & blacks. (The contamination was removed and the victims are all recovering well.)

As Requested.....

Tyann asked me to post about her like I did with my sisters, so here we go! Hold on to your hats, gentle readers.

Tyann is a very old friend of mine, I can't remember how we met. Sadly, we live quite a ways apart. So we don't get to see each other very often, something I often regret. There are several other fans of Teen Titans in the county, but none that I have met that could possibly keep up with us when we start the "Have you seen that episode?" game. We're also fans of Naruto.

Tyann is alot like Starfire from the Titans. She is an extremly sweet and funny person, and not at all afraid to walk to her own beat. Very hyper, peppy, and not at all afraid to say what she thinks about the current situation. Extremely friendly and pretty (you know you are, Tyann). She may seem all fun and games, but if it comes down to it, she will not hesitate to jump in to help a friend. Tyann is super sharp and is totally confident in herself. The similarities are mostly continue on and on, but stop at the fact that Tyann can't fly or shoot starbolts, is blonde with blue eyes instead of redheaded with green, and she likes Red X.

Tyann, I can think of alot more to say, but don't know how I would fit it all into this post. If I sound like a suckup at any point, I'm not trying to be. You are a one of those friends that any one would be lucky to have. I'm glad you're one of mine.
