Wow, that movie was really powerful. It is still in my mind. I don't think that I will ever forget it, and i guess that that is a good thing too because the world needs to know what is going on. It just blows my mind though that such twisted violence is reality. How could someone ever do such terrible things to another human being? I just don't understand how humanity can be so heartless and cruel at times. What I do know is that those kids need our help. I really think that the movie helped a great deal in portraying the reality of this conflict and touching the veiwers. It was just so much more powerful then just hearing about it. I definantly think that we need show this to the rest of the school, it would really get people motivated to help.
On another note(not that these children are forgotten, but a happier subject would be nice), I cannot believe that I have been deprived of Taco Bell for so long. How could I have gone my whole life without such tasty food? Ah, Abby was right, I do want to go back now. Since we're downtown, I think that we should take advantage of it more often and seek out places with good food after school, haha.
Today I got some of my Christmas shopping taken care of. While I was Target I actually considered getting some footie pajamas after hearing such high praises of them from Abby, haha. But, I was kinda out of money. I did not see Lauren today though, I think either her shift was over or that she did not have to work. Are you still coming to the play with us?
I really should work on my independent project this weekend. I've been doing a lot with my paper crane one for drawing but I have barely done anything for my painting project. Oh, I finally got the photography club pictures up so you can take them to use if you need too.
Are we asking for charity donations for our sixtenth birthday? I think we should, and I also think that we should donate the money to invisible children.
"daddy's gonna kill ralphie!"
oh man, I just finished "A Christmas Story." BEST holiday movie ever, so so funny, haha. I can't believe that I actually got to see the house from the movie too last year. It was so awesome. I need to show you the pictures sometime if you haven't already seen them. Ah, I love that movie.

Spinsta Sistas!
Yes, I'm feeling quite relieved that there are no feelings of animosity. Ah, I do love being spinsta sistas with you Sa.
I wonder, since Mr. Hurst now know the address of our blog, I wonder if maybe we will have a new reader? Hmm, haha, that could be interesting. Abby says that he use to have a blog last year and that people(students) would comment it all the time of something. So there's your fun fact of the day...Oh man, our school is so random. At least it keeps things interesting.
I hope Lydia makes a blog. She should. I hope she goes with lydia and brutus as her pair, haha. Unless of course she wants to do one with Callie. What if the four of us all started a new trend of writing blogs that spread to the rest of the school? I definantly think Lydia should get one though, it would be awesome. We should talk to her about it.
So photo club was pretty awesome today. Oh man, that random guy was a little freaky...stranger danger! I tried uploading the photos on my camera to my facebook but it's loading too slow so I think it may have to wait till tomorrow. I'll get them up eventually though.
I'm so sad that there is no new office on tonight. I don't think my heart could break anymore...
Our new list should be what you're most looking forward to this holiday season:
1. New York
2. Kate's Party
3. Secret Santa
4. Holiday Cheer (a bit corny, but i just love the feeling of the holiday season, haha)

Sara Screams "Your Every Breath is a Gift"
On a Freezing Chicago Street just came on. I like that line about Sara. Ah, what an awesome name I have. haha jk.
So I'm happy for you Andrea. You're relieved, he doesn't hate you, and we can be spinster sisters now! Ah What would I do without you???
I guess I am pretty blessed in my cousins. I love them so much. I'm really excited for Sadaka Christmas on Saturday! How about when(if) we have kids, they think they're cousins. You're like a sister anyways.
I spelled couch wrong?? hmm maybe I actually rode in a coach with a thin top-hatted man as the driver. haha.
I'm so excited for tomorrow! I've wanted to go to the Abbey for a long time. I just hope my mom lets me. She used to not get so freaked out about plans. I think she's been really stressed lately, though.
So four things I want for Christmas:
1. Lip balm (I love how we both put this! We share an addiction)
2. Tea (I know you don't like it, but I think it's one of the best beverages. Ever. It's also quite classic)
3. More string for bracelets. Those are so much fun to make.
4. Gloves or mittens (I keep losing mine!)
Your turn to make a list topic. I'm so excited for Friday! Call me soon.

A question in your nerves is lit
Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy
Insure you not to quit
To keep it in your mind and not forgit
That it is not he or she or them or it
That you belong to.

I. Am. Screwed.
Oh man, this relationship...I don't know how much longer I can put up with it. It's not that I don't like this person, I mean I could easily see being friends with them, it's just that I don't feel the same about them and it's really been bugging me. I want to end it, but i feel like a monster just thinking about it. I mean I hate hurting people and I would feel terrible, maybe even a little guilty, if I hurt this person, so it has been bugging me big time. Gah! What to do? And no I'm not going with the "disney channel approach" sorry, but he seems very unbothered by my akwardness so basically it wouldn't work. I feel so distressed right now. So that's pretty much what's on my mind. I do not like stressing out, and it's something i rarely do so when i do stress out it annoys me so much. Although, I guess I'm pretty at blocking it out which can be a good thing I suppose. My emotions are so weird, that's all I'm going to say right now.
Ah, Sa, those trash cookies were good. Haha, remember that time when we had mike dumpster dive? That was pretty amusing. Your cousins are amazing. Haha. I sometimes wish i had cousins like yours. All my cousins are only 7 or 8 or something like that. And the oldest is a year or two younger then me or something. I guess what i'm saying is that it can be kinda hard to relate to them, so whenever we stop by to visit them around Christmas I tend to stick with my sister mostly. At least I get along pretty well with my sis. Gah, honestly I love her so much! Of course, she always seems to greet me with and "ew, i don't want to hug you!/get away!" attitude, but still. Oh Al...is it me or is her name slowly getting shorter and shorter? Soon I may just be calling her 'little A' haha.
I'd have to agree with your distress over the fact that science tells us that our actions are primitively based. I guess some of it might be true but even if we recieved such urges based on these instincts, one would think that our society would be more wisened and able to tell right from wrong and make decisions based on our better judgement and not random instincts/urges.
Hm, well just to let you know, I'm really bad at coming up with what I want for christmas, I mean there's really isn't a lot that i want to be honest. But here it goes:
1. A docking station/speakers for my mp3
2. burt's bees (I'm almost out!! and I can't live without my precious burt's bees)
3. fingerless gloves
4. this colorful rib cage hoodie that matches my t-shirt (do i dress kinda emo sometimes? it feels like it, even though I am not emo)
P.S. I think you spelled "couch" wrong. it's a "u" not an "a." And I'm usually the one with the bad spelling....

Trash Cookies and Blog Philosophy. Part One.
Ah, Andrea! Your questions are too tough. I feel like I know nothing! Like, there's times I really want to know everything about the world, or at least about people, what and why they do things. But then, I just get kind of scared thinking of what I might find-does knowing about all the bad things make you more likely to be bad? It's like glancing down those alleyways downtown: you want to know where they lead, but you're scared to actually follow them because the shadows and the dark make you think you'll just find something horrible. But about war, I think it's just the old method, the way people are used to, so they don't change. Tribes killed each other to get rid of the problems, or too prevent competition and a thousand years later we still follow those ancients. That annoys me, though. I hate how all science articles nowadays seem to talk about how we get all our traits and habits from things necessary to survival back in Neanderthal times. It makes me mad that we never broke away from animalistic actions. I used to never understand why people fight, until I got really angry one day and actually felt like hitting something-that scared me. But how do people plan fights, plan murder, harm? That just doesn't make sense to me. I think our nations fight because if they don't, they could be seen as weak or easy to takeover. Or at least the US, where there are many countries that would take advantage of weakness here. Why can't we be like Switzerland? Good ole neutral, self-contained Switzerland.
Well, lighter topic: floating. It makes me think of that scene in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where they float on the top of that bubble room. I used to lie on my coach when I was bored and pretend I was walking on the ceiling in the hallway. I also used to spin in circles then jump on the coach and pretend I was on a bus. I was an odd child.
Ah Perogies for dinner! yayaya!
Um, list topic. hmm. Four things you want for Christmas??
Eh, got to go warm up some sauce. My mom didn't want any so she's making me make it. haha.

What If...
Have you ever wondered what if would be like if gravity were to suddenly reverse and we would them be pulled to ceilings of our houses? What would it be like? How would we get around our homes and reach the food? haha, of course I wonder about how I'll be able to eat. Seriously though, haven't you ever wondered about that? I know I do. Especially when I'm lying on my back in the living room. It probably applies to the living room specifically because the ceiling in there is so high. I think I've even figured out how to get to all of the rooms in my house though if such an event were ever to occur. Actually, I swear I read about something like this happening in a book. I think it might have been a scene in The Patchwork Girl of Oz or something like that.
Pumpkin stuff is amazing. My parents seem to buy a lot of stuff with pumpking seasoning/flavoring in it. Today I had this pumpking bread that we got from Target, and it was so amazingly delicious! Those pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are especially tasty. Why does everything with pumpkin taste so good though? I suppose i should just accept it and enjoy all the yummy pumpkin flavored food that i come across. Hmmm, my mind seems to be in some sort of food mindset at the moment. I do love food though. What would my life be without it. Have I said this before? Perhaps my mind is just going in circles today. It's quite possible I suppose.
I wish it would snow. That would be amazing. It just keeps raining though. I actually like the rain but since it's getting into the holiday season, snow would be quite appropriate. What if they played christmas/holiday music over the intercom at school durring passing periods? That would be pretty awesome. I love Christmas carols, although sadly I cannot sing. Which I suppose can be a bit of a problem at times seeing as how I like to sing but do not have a voice for it. Oh well. Haha, I love listening to Travis sing though. Oh man, i sooo hope that he sings songs from Mulan tomorrow. That would make my day. Possibly even my life...Oh Travis, haha. We must remember to bug him about that tomorrow.
Well, I have that history chapter to read although I'm really not in the mood for doing school work. Personally, I find that I rarely learn anything, actually maybe i should say remember, anything from our history textbook. I mean, could you pick a more dull textbook? Or even a duller subject at that. I mean, basically all that American history is is a bunch of white guys who fight each other, start wars, debate about dull politics, and get into the occational, and perhaps insane, duel. Okay so characters like the crazed Andrew Jackson are somewhat hilarious and comical to learn about. But other then that, I don't see what is so great about American history. What can i say, learning about politics and war just doesn't do it for me.
Speaking of war, well, I just don't get war. I mean, what's the point? So you have a bunch of people go out and fight other people. But honesty, does it really accomplish anything? In the end, one side just ends ups slaughtering the other until the losing side can't go on anymore or afford to keep supplying their armies. And how does this resolve anything? I mean, i don't think that going over to another country and killing a bunch of people through show of brutal force is the right way to go about solving your issues. Why can't people just talk about it? I guess all these guys who run our country are just to thick to consider that diplomatic relationships might actually bring about some good. When one country or group of people decides to deal with an issue through brute force you would think that it would do more harm then actual good. Wouldn't it just tick off this other country more and further push the stress going on between these two countries? Maybe I'm just rambling. I imagine that my little rant is probably a bit confussing to you too. Did i even spell "confussing" right?
Why does it feel like all I do is question myself somedays Sa? Hm, maybe I should just go and get some rest for my weary mind. Or finish my homework, yipee.

Brand New
I must say that I'm feeling quite festive at the moment. My family has started our annual task of putting up all of the Christmas decore. So far we have put up the trees and I got some lights put up in my room. Not to mention the holiday music that has been playing all day. I absolutly adore the holiday season, i mean how could you not? Every one is typically in such good spirits and concerned about about doing the right thing. Although I guess it would be nice if every month was like this, on the other hand I feel that it makes this time of year a little extra special.
Speaking of the holidays, I finally got the Secret Santa stuff sent out with the help of dear Alex, haha. So you should have your person now. I'm not sure about the date yet, however i'm going to try and talk to everyone else about it this weekend or something.
My Thanksgiving was pretty good. It was just my parents and sister but I still enjoyed it. I was kinda dissapointed that Yusef Hauss did not get his turkey displayed but an honorable mention is good. I love how you used my "Big Drea T" nickname in your blog title. It kinda makes me sound like a gangsta or something, haha.
Ah! Guess what!!! Okay, so I told you that my camera was broken right? Well, we had sent it in a few weeks ago to get fixed. Apparently there was some sort of warrenty or something that said the camera company would fix it for free. Well, I finally got my camera back today, except, they gave me a new one! I think this new camera is of better quality too which is awesome. It seems that they didn't have enough stuff availible to fix my old camera or something, so they just sent me a new one. My sister and I were so excited. She even said "thanks for breaking the camera Andrea." I did not break it, it broke on it's own. Even so, this new camera is pretty spiffy so I guess it kinda was a good thing that the old camera broke(on its own!).
Leaf Raking tomorrow!! I'm so excited, this is going to be so much fun. Call me about when i should come over and stuff. Oh, also should I bring my own rake and bags? And we should probably get some information to give to the people who we'll be raking leaves for. Maybe print out some sort of informational sheet? Lots to think about, haha. Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow then! I'll be counting the minutes, haha. Or maybe not, I'm not that lacking in a life, although I am still quite excited about it. Also, your turn to come up with a list Sa!

I am thankful for sunrises, dogs, sweet potatoes, and Big Drea T
Andrea I loved your last two posts. The first one because it promised a Christmas letter. I love your family's letters. Especially the last one we got that only mentioned how you just walk around with your ear buds in all the time. The second one because it was so sweet! Ah Andrea you're the greatest friend. I'll protect you from crazy ladies in cars.
So this morning, I woke up at 6:15, put on my coat and slippers, ignored the herd of pets begging for breakfast, unlocked the door, and stepped into a semi-darkness broken by my neighbor's motion-detecting light system and a faint yellow tinge on the horizon (either commercial lights or a sunrise-I like to think it was the sunrise). The air smelled so fresh, how it always does after a rain. I'm thankful for that smell too. I grabbed our newspaper and went into the house, trying to stay quiet and not wake up my family. Then I retreated into the bathroom (the pets couldn't bug me there. I felt like Ralphie when he decoded the Little Orphan Annie message). I pulled out the Indiana Living and looked at the turkeys. Unfortunately, Yusef Haas didn't make it. However, he did get a casual mention in the form of a casual list of types of turkeys they received. A patriotic one was definitely mentioned. Yusef Haas you're on the way to fame! After that, I went back to sleep, cleaned, worked on my independent project a little, and ATE! My mom made this amazing sweet potato dish. I usually don't like sweet potatoes but it was good. We also had this vegetarian dressing. Wow I love veggie food.
I'm excited for our leaf raking. Tomorrow I'm doing to Darcy's (Sadly the premiere got canceled). She and Laura are going shopping at 3 am tomorrow morning. haha. I think they just want the experience of it. That, and an excuse to stay up late.
Oh I found the Mulan mix! It just randomly showed up. I had to listen to it while I cleaned my room. Lydia does make awesome mixes.
We have three dogs here currently. Kelsey's dog-sitting one of her friend's dogs. It's a little crazy having three dogs at once beg for food. I can't stand that many puppy dog eyes. It's hard to resist (except the food's too good to give up haha). I agree that having an eating disorder would be way to hard. Well, except for binging. haha I could see doing that. haha Just kidding.

I Am Thankful for My Hero, Sara
Why you ask? well, sara has always been there for me. Over that past month she has saved me from near death experiences, not once, but twice. First it was a crazy old couple in a car, and next it was from a board that almost crushed me today. And for that, I am truely thankful. Plus, she feeds me good food, haha. So, whenever someone asks me what i am thankful for, i look them in the eye and say, I am thankful for my friend and hero, Sara. If only someone would ask what i'm thankful for. But if someone did, that's what I would say. Just thought you should know...
I hope Yusef Hauss wins! Have I said this before? Well if i have, now you just know how serious i am about winning this thing. Or at least an honorable mention would be pretty sweet. I mean, how could they not appreciate our veterans theme? Did i even spell "veterans" right? probably not, like i have said before, i'm definanlty not the greatest speller. I do my best though.
Hey, did you hear that it might snow tomorrow?That would be awesome! I love snow. Gah, i'm so excited for the holidays! Thanksgiving is pretty much the start of the holiday season for me. I geuss that's part of the reason for why i like it so much.
Our homeroom party was pretty fun as well. I loved those name tags audrey made, they were adorable! Man, i am in such a great mood now. Probably because of all the good food. Ah, food is another one of my loves. I mean, who does not love food? I could never develope an eating disorder. Honestly, I love food too much to do something so insane. My mom is making pie right now for tomorrow. I think it's pumpkin, yuuum! Pretty much every thing with pumpkin is delicious, n'est pas? haha, busting out my french!! I do miss french. I think i am forgetting a lot of my french as well. It's kinda sad. I wish i could take french instead of latin. It's not that i don't like latin, it's just that i like french better. Plus, it's actually useful. Oh well, i still love school, haha. I am such i dork, but i'm totally okay with it. We, hope you have an awesome Happy Thanksgiving Sa/My hero! *gobble gobble*
I hope Yusef Hauss wins! Have I said this before? Well if i have, now you just know how serious i am about winning this thing. Or at least an honorable mention would be pretty sweet.

Everybody Wants To Be A Cat
So true. I was obviously listening to disney music earlier. I love disney, it's so magical, both the movies and the music, haha. I'm so sad that you lost that mix with all the mulan songs tho Sa. If you ever find it though, you should bring it in for the car ride to school. You know, I've kinda forgotten what it's like to ride the bus, getting up early while the moon was still out, and then having to put up with those kids who had their music turned up too loud. Is it me or did those people who always turned their music up that loud always listen to the worst stuff. Ick! glad those days are over. I guess riding the bus was okay in the afternoon. I remember i always used to play cards and talk with lauren, that was fun. Plus i was actually awake in the afternoon and not caught up in some half-awake/half-asleep zombie state.
Well, apparently my babysitting job got cancelled. I'm kinda dissapointed. Oh well, at least i can sleep in now on friday. Although they did say that they would consider hiring me if they ever need a sitter and lauren isn't availible. Apparently works takes up her free time and has potentially opened a new career pathway(what is this phrase from? i know i've heard it before...) for me.
Gah, guess what!!!! Awesome news, you're going to be so psyched(i pretty much had to look up this word because i couldn't spell it)! Okay, so it's getting close to the holiday season, and my parents have started on their Christmas Card which will include, back by popular demand, a christmas letter detailing all the facinating aspects of my family's life currently. Haha, i can't wait to read it. Apparently my sister has seen part of it and is a bit upset at being refered to as, and i quote, "the tv programmer." It is so true though, i'm not even lying. Gah, this is going to be so good. I'll make sure your family gets a copy. Apparently they got some comments from people last year asking about what happend to the annual family letter, so they are including one this year.
Speaking of the holidays, i should really start on my wishlist. Relatives and such are starting to bug me about that...The problem is i never know what i want. Well, it will at least give me something to do this weekend. OH! By the way, keep reminding me to send out the secret santa stuff, we should plan this out soon before it gets too late. I'm so excited, I love secret santa! We should also try and plan to go dress shopping, even though neither of us will really end up buying anything, it would still be fun to go out and do something.
Okay, new list should be favorite disney songs
1. everybody wants to be a cat-the aristocats
2. i'll make a man out of you-mulan
2. a whole new world-aladin
3. what's this?-nightmare before christmas

Go to Sleep Little Baby
My parents are watching O Brother Where Art Thou behind me. Oh man I love that movie and its music.
And I did ask my doctor about the breathing. She said she had no clue what was wrong and to take my pulse every time I start feeling like that. The thing is, I'm so bad at taking my pulse! It's a rare moment when I can find it.
I was thinking about this last night: If humans haven't helped those around them, even without technology, why would being connected with people across the world make much of a difference? Within every country there is a lot of disparity between rich and poor, even here. I'd like to think our generation can do better though.
And I would battle for your pillow hands! Seriously, I think you must be half Beanie Baby.

Dance With Me?
Invisible Children is going to be awesome! I think i may work on some of the tee shirt designs tonight. I'm really looking forward to fund rasing as well. I think it's sad, that even though we have all this technology and all sorts of connections with other cultures, that there is still poverty and war. You would think that such things would help improve the well being of humanity. I guess not, or at least not always. Not to say that there aren't good things as well.
Man Sa, you're sorta freaking me out with this breathing thing. I guess it is possible that it could all just be in your mind though, after we can have crazy mental affects on ourselves when we concentrate on stuff too much. Have you talked to your doctor about it? I feel like a worried mother somewhat....
By the way, i'm intruiged by this purposed death battle between you and abby. I must say that i do feel somewhat honored that you would fight to be my dance partner. That or you just really like my hands....

Breathing
So that breathing problem is getting worse. I keep trying to take deep breaths and instead I feel like an oompa-loompa is sitting on my chest. I'm really worried that I'm making myself breathe weird through thinking I have a breathing problem. Isn't that weird how our minds can convince us we're sick when we really aren't? I've been breathing really weird all day. I really hope I didn't sound like a heavy-breathing man with onion breath and a beer belly. Definitely tell me if I do.
So Invisible Children was really interesting. I'm so excited for fund raising. I love this feeling when you find a way you can make a difference. It's like a jumping fire lizard in your chest. In a good way.
It's so weird I never knew about the war in Uganda. It's been going on for longer than I've been alive. This makes me feel odd in two ways. One, that a war has been going on longer than I've been living. I'm so young, yet twenty years is way too long. If people can become mature in 18 years, why can't a whole world find a solution to a problem in twenty? I guess war is more complicated than that though, no matter what Judy Blume may have us believe about growing up.
Two, that I didn't know there was a whole war going on. I feel like humans should all be connected more. I guess that's the wonderful thing about technology. It made the world a little smaller so that wars and mass murders cannot be kept hidden (well, I guess as far as we know, since if its hidden we wouldn't know about it).
Sometimes I think technology has made us too close though, like when we can't listen to our own consciences for answers. Do you think having our generation grow up this connected will make us a better world? Like, we could cooperate with people all over the world and learn about the ways other people live. I always found those books about how other children live really interesting. It's so odd when you go to a place where the culture is so different than ours. It's hard to wrap your mind around all the ways humans can be different, but I love it.
You know what makes my mind hurt every time I think about it? Learning Chinese. There's so many dialects, words, tonal differences, not to mention their written language looks so different from ours. I kind of want to learn it just to see if I could, though my mind might explode. My cousin Amanda has a friend that taught himself Mandarin Chinese. That impressed me so much.
So my cousin Charlie is now coming for Thanksgiving with two of his kids too. I still wish we were having a bigger Thanksgiving. I love family, especially my mom's side because I feel closer to them since almost all of them live in Indiana.
Well, I'm going beber agua. Hasta manana!

Hey Hey You You, I Don't Like Your BOYFRIEND!!
....hmm, bit of a lame title but it was the last thing i heard on the office, Kelly singing that is.
Well, i have yet to try that funky chicken song. Usually i just put on some music when i need a boost of energy. That or i will just eat a bunch of chocolate covered espresso beans. They usually make me hyper, even though it's probably just pshycological. (did i even spell that right? probably not *whisper whisper* haha). Man, i swear those things are so incredibly addicting! I could really use a box of those in Mr. Crawley's class though. Honestly, i don't think that lunch switch did anything to change his lessons. I still feel drained when i leave that class.
Not much, going on with me either today. But i'm so phsyced(once again, spelling?) for our party. Mr Hurst thinks he can beat our homeroom but i say: He's. Going. Dooooooown! Haha.
As for favorite songs, this is a toughie, there are so many i like!(no particular order either)
1. Broad Ripple is Burning-Margo and the Nuclear So and Sos (thanks for the mix abs!)
2. Calm Before the Storm-Fall Out Boy(their old stuff before they became mainstream is the best! gah, i love patrick's voice haha)
3. U Owe Me and IOU-Hot Hot Heat, love this band's music!
4. A Whole New World-Aladin, just one of the many disney songs i adore
like i said, i don't exactly have favorite songs but these are just a few of the ones i really adore.

Ralphie!
When my mom was taking that cat litter out of the trunk she commented on its unexpected heaviness too.
Today was of course fun, though cold. I was sad about missing home room. Did you try my funky chicken idea??
This cold weather is making me crave Christmas activities. Like watching the Christmas Story, drinking hot chocolate, making gingerbread houses, and decorating. I really don' t have much to blog about. Yay for The Office! And Cereal party! Oh man I love cereal. I think I'll leave you on that happy note. I'll put up more if I have more to write about.
Oh wait, I know! A list! How about favorite songs? This one is really hard.
(no particular order)
1. She Belongs to Me -Bob Dylan--I love almost all his songs, though. I used to like this song better because I used to think it said " For Halloween give her a trumpet
And for Christmas, get her a bit drunk" I always thought that was funny, I don't know why. Though I guess the actual version is stunning too.
2. Great Balls of Fire from Jerry Lee Lewis' Live at the Star in Hamburg- I love how he does odd trills. I would love to see him live. He is the most energetic performer. Can you believe he set a piano on fire once??
3. We Danced Anyways-Deanna Carter-Her voice is awesome
4. Aint No Easy Way - Dead Blonde Girlfriend--I just love the phrases they use.

Oh man, i feel so bad for that girl...That's terrible. I hope she's okay.
On a brighter not though, do you know if Katie can shadow yet? Gah, i love shadows. It was awesome having lauren shadow us today. I'm glad that she liked Herron. When I talked to her earlier this week she seemed like she wasn't really planning of going to Herron, she just wanted to see what or school was like or something but when i talked to her in drawing, she was like "i really like this school." Apparently she thinks pike is a bit big so she's looking at going to a smaller school, sooo.....she may consider coming here next year? Not quite sure, but she said she liked it and that every one was nice, so that's a plus.
So art club was pretty fun today. Lydia and I are doing pretty well on our mural, special thanks to lauren, haha. And LEAP-FROG!!! I swear, sometimes our school reminds me of elementary school. It's like a bunch of highschoolers reliving their childhood. Our little stop at target was pretty amusing as well, but who knew cat liter was soooo heavy?? Gah, all that for two little cats? not trying to be mean or anything sa, it's just so heavy! Those coconut samples were quite tasty as well....Hmm, that reminds me, i need to see if i can get some cereal for friday. I should prolly study for APUSH as well, so this must be goodnight!

Silly Rabbit
I always feel a little down when I first wake up too. It's always the thought of breakfast and a nice cup of tea that gets me moving. That, and the Funky Chicken song. Seriously Andrea, TRY IT! I'll put it here just in case you forgot:
C'mon everybody get up and get kickin'
C'mon everybody, do the Funky Chicken
(insert Funky Chicken dance)
I just found out one of KT and Kyle's really good friend's mom died last night. The girl doesn't even know why her mom died. That's so...I don't know I just can't imagine that. Imagine losing your parents. That'd be so hard.
Okay well I have to go, Katie's going to be calling me. Love you Andrea, and your parents.

Silly Games
Okay so i felt so sad this morning. Why? that's what i'd like to know but i, sadly, do not have that answer. What is wrong with my emotions today? i swear, they are off or something. I start the day off depressed and then become elated durring the rest of the school day to feeling annoyed at the end of my day. Gah! whyyyyy?
Man, i'm so excited about our turkey project though in homeroom, haha. I hope we win!!! It would be kinda akward if they called the school asking for the entry though. Oh man....We better win though! Our turkey is going to be awesome, i just know it. Unless something goes horribly wrong, man, i hope not! Haha, okay think positive.
So seminar was a blast. My swing dancing skills have definantly improved. We are going to dominate those dance floors next time. That adult swing dancing club will have no idea what hit them! take that, floor hogs. Oh wow, a bit competitive? i think not....As far as competitive goes though, you were really getting into that game Sa! I could just see the determination to win in your face. It was actually kinda red now that i reflect back upon it and that fatefull moment when you were hit with the bamboozle. Or maybe my brain is just photoshopping the redness onto your face. Haha, how is that even possible, although with my imagination i guess pretty much anything is possible at times.
I'm so excited for tomorrow when lauren shadows!!! it's going to be awesome! Well i have lines to memorize now. See you tomorrow

Shock. Anger. Betrayal. Part One
Why do I always put Part One to everything?? Oh it just makes it sound so much more official and novelesque. Did I just ask myself a question and answer it in print, like a person conversing with themself in public? Yes, I did.
So the above title is in reference to the game of Bamboozle experienced today. I could not shut my gaping mouth when we were Bamboozled. It was like being hit by a car on the way to your wedding, not at all pleasant. Though maybe my competitiveness got the better of me then. I still can't believe Ben's team won. His enthusiastic hair jigglings were quite fun to see, though (yet at the same time a little scary). If he ever cuts his hair, I will go into mourning.
If R Simmons (wow that makes him sound like a lawyer, the opposite of what Richard is really like. Oh that reminded me of my dad since his name is Richard too. That is not a pleasant association for my dad. Hopefully I can forget it and not see Richard Simmon's too-happy face every time I talk to my dad. I love my dad too much to let that happen). Well anyways, if R. Simmons had a blog, it would be about weight loss. Wait a second, he does have a blog! Remember that one about the time change we read??
I watched you walk home as long as I could. I was so worried. If you had turned around you would've seen my face through the window, much like a nosy neighbor, like Aunt Petunia, yes. I'm glad you got home safely.
I agree with your choice of Hermione. She would be awesome to be.
My dad's talking on the phone with my uncle who lives in NYC right now. He mentioned me flying out by myself to meet him. That would be fantabulous, though scary. I doubt my mom would let me. I have chance of being able to convince her though.
Our college tour after junior year will be so much fun. Us and Mr. T, what could be better?
I should get back to memorizing. Sleep well!

The Simmonator
That Richard Simmons exercise tape was awesome!!! We should do more of his tapes. Oh man, what if Richard Simmons had a blog? I wonder what he would write about.....probably rainbows and the butter that is the sun. Hmmm....
After that I had to walk home in the rainy darkness, all by my lonesome. It was actually fun. But kinda scary at the same time. I was kinda scared that some weirdo would try and abduct me. Or even more likely, that the crazy old lady would drive by and take me out. Especially since it was so dark she would probably swerve off the road just so she could finish the job. But besides my worries and suspicions, i made it home safe and sound, but my pants were soaked through so i was kinda cold.
Well, that was pretty much the highlight of my day, so i'm off to watch heroes now! And homeroom tomorrow! i always miss homeroome mondays. Well goodnight all

Well, that was pretty much the highlight of my day, so i'm off to watch heroes now! And homeroom tomorrow! i always miss homeroome mondays. Well goodnight all

Rainy Sunday
Gah, i'm sooo sorry i forgot to call you sa! but when i got home i was so incredibly tired. That movie seemed to have sucked all the energy out of me.
Ah, good 'ol Hooper, may he rest in peace. I love how mr. friend * shivers* had us watch that movie. That lifetime movies we watched in health was pretty funny as well. I wonder who picks out the health movies....What if it's like a special job or something? hmm....potential future career?
My saturday was pretty lazy. I stayed home and worked on my independent project. Which was actually good bacause i'm done with hanging the cranes up from my ceiling for the most part. It took forever though. I guess it's a good thing that i'm such a patient person. Haha. Today was more interesting though. The doorbell rang in the middle of the night and woke me up. It scared me half to death, not even kidding! I thought it may have been some weido but then i realized that it just does that when it's storming. I went back to sleep though. When i woke up i had one of the few remaining muffins from friday for breakfast, yuuuum! And then i tried to call you Sa but you weren't home. I went to target later though and saw lauren which was fun. I can't wait till she shadows wednesday, it's going to be awesome! That lunch switch definantly sucks, i won't have lunch with lydia anymore. At least we'll be in the same lunch though. Well, that's about it for my weekend so i guess i'll see you tomorrow Sa!
OH! characters list!
okay uh....
1. Imogene from the blue girl. this is probably a weird choice, no idea why i picked it. i guess i like how she's so confident and has a faery tale creature as her imaginary(who is actually real)/best friend.
2. Mulan!! no explaination needed...
3. Uh, the crow girls(DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT SA!!!). they're just so happy and carefree all the time
4. uh, maybe hermione? she's super smart, she gets to go to hogwarts, she goes on awesome adventures with harry, and....she ends up dating ron(and if he's played by rupert grint, well who wouldn't want to be hermione then?)!!!

Hooper and his Effect on my life. Part One
Ah your date sounded sweet. However, you never called me like we agreed upon. I waited up by my phone like the mother that you know I am to you. haha. To make up for this failure to call, you must give me more details. And possibly chocolate.
So yesterday, I had my first driving lesson. I was pretty nervous, but I didn't crash! Driving is still scary though. I dont know, I think seeing Hooper die scarred me. Good old stereotypical Hooper. His last sentence still haunts me ("That's my favorite hill!") haha Driver's Ed. movies basically made that class bearable.
After my driving lesson, I went to Sarahs. WE played Scrabble and watched Betty Boop. Then, we went to this Civil War exhibit thing at the Zionsville museum so she could get extra credit for a class. She made me try on this corset there, It barely fit. Some woman laughed at that. I don't know why. Then, we went to Broadripple. The only thing I bought was this bag of random stuff at B-ripple Vintage that Sarah and I split (actually she still owes me 5 dollars! hhmm). Some of it was odd stuff, like a finger nail I'm sure fell off of a sales person hand as they made the bags. And a gross keychain that said "Windsor Canadians love Calif". I hid some of that stuff around Sarahs room when she wasn't looking, as a nice, gross surprise. haha. We had a lot of left overs of stuff we didn't particularly want. (Get excited for random gifts tomorrow!)
Then I had a harvest festival thing at church, but the youth group ended up having to work. But at least there was really good food, like these amazingly soft rolls.
Sarah and I watched Pretty in Pink that evening (A good movie, but an annoying ending). Today was filled with church, my grandma's (I was really disappointed cause neither Katie nor Darcy could go, i haven't seen them in at least a month), reading, doing some homework, staring off into space thinking about how i should be doing more homework, like that sketchbook, and various other lollygagging pursuits.
I keep getting excited for school tomorrow. Except that we don't have homeroom, and that our lunch got moved to third lunch. bleh.
So Here's my list of characters I wish I could be, a la aud&abbs blog:
1. Princess Buttercup- who wouldn't want to marry Wesley???
2. Pam- She gets to experience Dwight's funniness without actually being him. Plus, shes dating Jim, aka hot stuff.
3. Ginny Weasley-Just being able to go to Hogwarts would be awesome
4. Athos, from 3 Musketeers- the epitome of cool, well, old-fashioned cool
Gah I just remember Disco Stu from the Simpsons!! Oh man he would be awesome to be...
ps- I just remembered this. Well, when the new library opens Lydia, Andrea, and me will probably start going there some days after school to get a ride home w/ mi madre. we should have library parties/ study sessions

Life
Yesterday was certainly interesting….
It all began in art where Abby and I got to work on gessoing(sp??) the boards for art club…or are we calling it NASA now? I have no idea. Anyways, that was fun, despite the fact that I got gesso all over my mouth and on my teeth. Don’t ever eat gesso, it tastes pretty bad. I sure hope that stuff isn’t toxic, or I could be in trouble…I starting to think Herron might be haunted. First the paper towel dispenser goes off on it’s own in homeroom and then today Abby and I were hearing odd shuffling noises around the room and what sounded like something dropping while we were painting. I wonder if the ghost lives in the attic. I really want to see this fabled attic. We caught a brief glimpse of it yesterday, and I’m quite intrigued. Our gessoing was later followed by a game of leapfrog in the middle of the second floor corridor when no one was looking, except maybe the ghost…
Then HOMEROOM PARTY!! Total awesomeness, the food was ah-mazing! Sa, those breads were quite divine, if I do say so myself. Ah, all the food was tasty…
Homeroom, was then followed by seminar and Abby’s quest for pants, haha. That was a hilarious adventure. Mr. Hurst looked at us as if we were insane, which we probably are, when Abby came into his class to get Elizabeth’s jeans. After that we swing danced, I think we’re definantly getting better, no major injuries this time lol. I hope to become a swing-dancing master by the end of the year. I think that is my current goal. Oh, and speaking of goals we could probably put that on our goal calendars for health Sa, along with trick-or-treating haha. I’m so serious.
Then, finally came the date. It was pretty fun. We pretty much just wandered around the mall for two hours and then went to see Bee Movie. How do I even begin to describe this movie? There were a few comical parts, but it was so weird. I just can’t explain how odd it was. It was really sweet though, my date help my hand pretty much the whole time and he was so nice to me. I couldn’t believe it, I mean I don’t really recalled anyone being so nice to me, haha oh wow that sounds really bad actually, but I don’t know. I just felt so odd/shocked. Man, this whole experience has pretty much put me in shock I think. I don’t know what to think. Gah, I’m so indecisive. I’ve noticed that I question myself a lot. Not sure why, but that’s how it works out I guess. What am I saying?! Babble, babble, babble….Well anyway the evening was nice. Except that movie pretty much drained all my energy and I felt like a total zombie afterwards. We got some starbucks and I was hoping that would wake me up but it did absolutely nothing. * sigh * Anyways, I was pretty tired when I got home. I got some cds from the library though, and pretty much listened to Abby’s mix she mad me that night. It was really good. I haven’t finished though, there are still like 2 and a half cds left for me to listen too. Longest mix ever! Haha.

Muffins=Love
Ah sa, i love your dad and his mullet(good 'ol mullet man! haha, man he is obsessed with that wig. so so funny...) So after dinner when i got home from photography club i went to work making muffins for our homeroom party tomorrow. I'm sooo excited! It's going to be awesome!! My house now has the most heavenly smell from those muffins. I even tried one and all i have to say is that it's love, lol.
So i just watched the office, it was hilarious as usual, no surprise there! Haha, i think it's hilarious how Dwight has a bunch of random weapons hidden around the office.
Man, i wish i could audition for your band tomorrow but this girl has date! I still can't believe it. Haha, and Abby is coming to make sure we make room for the bible. So basically, tomorrow should be quite interesting.....
As for band names, uh....
the sporks(but then again who actually likes sporks??)
Paper or Plastic
the napkin holders
sizzlin' skillets(sp? i know my spelling is quite horrid, sorry guys)
Sugar n' Spice
Okay so apparently Jakob and i are now in an emo band.....still haven't got a name yet tho, any suggestions?? lol.

Bongos and Bonding
So lydia is over. We are making bread. And also listening to a mix my sister left here. it has a lot of emo music/popular music from 2005. we were head banging to it in my kitchen. both of us ended up falling onto our butts at one point. head banging is not our specialty. (Note to self: become good at headbanging. Reason: it could come in handy anytime, anywhere, like at an immortal death battle. or a sudden death metal convention in my living room. that happens every other day. specially when my dad busts out his mullet wig.) another long whisper.
And we decided were making a band that only uses kitchen utensils. Lydias already good at playing the tupaware line. Ill play a mix of the spoons and salt shakers. with an occasional glass breaking. were hosting open auditions tomorrow. BYOU (bring your own utensils).
Lydia told me she bonded with her former hott drum (at first i put drunk) teacher who taught her the bongos too. Too bad she was a youngster. And homeschooled.
Im joining this list trend. With help from lydia
Possible band names:
The GarFUNKilizers
The Last Ketchup Bottle
The Dancing Cacti
Three Dinosaurs and a Caveman
Egad!
Shake it up like Sanitizer
Mr. Clean and the Mullets
Bear Vs. Tranquilizer
Beavers
The Golden Girls
The Backspace Bar goes Spacey
20 Harmonicas and Not a Drop to Drink

"I've got soul but i'm not a soldier...."
Well this morning we had DBQs, ick i hate getting up early. And sadly we didn't get to have our down-by-the-banks tournament either. I heard "all these things that i've done" though when i woke up and it took me back, remember those good 'ol days sa? Despite the early start, however, the rest of my day was pretty good. Tessa taught us some nice swing dancing moves durring seminar, sooo much fun! Even though i can't really dance....I love how none of the teachers tried to stop us too. This school is so different from my old school, it's like the total opposite or something.
After school was fun too. BROWNIES!! I swear i ate sooo many brownies today, i'm stuffed! They are just to good. We really need a better name for art club though. Oh and i might be going on a date friday, and i mean first date, ever! it is......insane? I'm still in shock, haha. So hopefully i can go.
bonsoir!

SaSa Salsa
So I just finished reading Aud&Abby's blog. It was really intimidating. Now I'm scared to write my blog. I don't feel worthy.
My dogs just got back from a wild escape. I took Zoe with me to pick raspberries and she ran away. Ungrateful Labrador.
Salsa sounds so good right now. Maybe I'll put some on my grilled cheese (which my dad is currently making, hopefully he doesn't make it too greasy. He hates when things stick to the pan so he pours a bunch of canola oil in the bottom. So basically everything turns out fried or greasy.) That was a long parentheses. My 7th grade teacher told us that parentheses were like whispers in a sentence. She used to make us whisper everything we read aloud that was in a parentheses. I wish we still had to do that.
Swing dancing in the hallway was fun. Tessa is a good teacher. I really love our school. I realized today people there are almost always singing. (I was quite sad I missed Travis singing "It's a Hard-Knocked Life", though Lydia exaggerated and said he danced too) I think someone sings in almost every class. Though maybe not math. With only the three of us, that'd be a little weird.
(Love you all) *
*in a whisper, like a creepy stalker, yes
