Tis the Season...

...for betting on drugged up cats. Yeah, bet you weren't expecting that, huh?

Anyway, I hope everyone is having a great holiday season, even if it's already passed or hasn't come around yet. I received a video camera, some iTunes cards, cash, a game, and chocolate out the wazoo (seriously, why so much chocolate)...oh and iced coffee. I love my camera, I'm currently charging up the batteries and taping cats fighting each other over the catnip stash...it's quite hilarious. My voice sounds weird on tape...but in a good way, I guess? *shrugs*

Lauren keeps messing me up without even being around and it's so annoying, but I'm going to prove that it doesn't bother me...even though it's messed me up a bout five times...grr (she labeled my right shoe LEFT and my left shoe RIGHT...and just because I'm about as OCD as she is, I always have to put my right shoe on first and the labels screw me up to no end).

I got done with all of my homework on Christmas Eve because I really had nothing better to do seeing as none of the good Specials were on, well except Santa Clause is coming to town...but we just made stupid innuendos every second so some of the magic was lost. This means I can now read books that aren't classics and read to my leisure. Crime and Punishment was probably my favorite classic book out of the ones I read, although the others were really good too...I'm slowly working my courage to read War and Peace *stares at the monster on bookshelf* that thing is huge with tiny print...but I can do it! Just not right now...

I finally started Child Thief recently and finished quickly. I'm so glad Lauren shoved that book into my hands, even though I thought it was a cross between Michael Jackson and Peter Pan (have you seen the cover? Peter looks a lot like an MJ wanna be). I ended up loving the book to death. My dad heard me talk about it and now he's reading it too, so Lauren might not get it back for a while. The pictures are awesome :)

Currently I'm making my way through Mort (again). I read part of it two years ago, but school took over and I had to drop it. I just recently found it in my room and couldn't remember much of the plot to where I was in the book, so I started over. *sigh* I love the humor...it's amazing and it's like Pratchett wasn't even trying...which he probably wasn't. I need more Diskworld books.

We've been having a night visitor around our house lately, leaving paw prints in the snow. We're thinking it's probably a cat since dad thought he heard something meowing before, but I don't know. Part of me hoped Luddy came back, but he wouldn't have gone off to Jamie's and his fur would have dragged through the snow. I miss Luddy :(

Happy Birthday Simon! Frikin' 19! Enjoy being 3 years older than me for half a year like you always do...I'll catch up in July. Sorry we didn't have a cake for you, I was all for having a giant birthday muffin but everyone else said no. Stop stealing my candy! Love ya Bro ;)

It's been one helluva month, but we're makin' it through...and soon it'll be 2011!

OH, I ALMOST FORGOT!!! I also received a PillowPet...it's a dolphin...and I love it very much...its name is Delphi...and it's not weird at all...DOT DOT DOT!

Peace ;)

9-1-10

Yay! Today was actually alright! But it's a Wednesday, what should I expect? Anyway, pretty eventful day we have here...Jordan's birthday (really 17? you don't look a day over 16!), third day of school (probably the best so far), and I got my driving permit (I can legally drive now!).

Awesome.

Sorry Jordan, I wish I had something for you, but I've been busy the last few days and I haven't had many creativity flashes lately :( I'll draw that comic of Glenn Beck and his chalkboard for you in your planner or something. Just expect it to come out sarcastic and stupid, because I hate Glenn Beck and Fox News. You can look forward to that I guess. I have some money lying around, maybe I could give you some of that...which reminds me, I'm going to have to talk to my aunt about a work schedule...hmm. Maybe I'll pump something out for you soon, just don't get your hopes up.

I love French. Sharing class with a bunch of 9th Graders who think they own the world is annoying, but I have Taylor and Lauren with me so we'll work through it. Today we started trying to talk in conversations, which was basically a recap from the very first French class we took 3 years ago. It's sad to say we know more Spanish than French and keep getting the languages confused: "Como esta?" "No, Lauren, that's Spanish." So many flashbacks to 8th grade! And we had a discussion at our table about how Canadian French isn't any more French than Mexican Spanish is Spanish...or American English is English (we didn't butcher the language...we improved it). We also learned about the differences between the feminine and masculine stresses or pronunciations...also Patrick was the only American in the book and he was from Boston, but Stephenie wasn't from Paris, she was from Fort de France. Also, it's very easy to sound seductive in French...I didn't mean it Taylor! I promise! I only said Hello! Oh, and I taught Lauren how to say a casual hello in Russian. So many languages in French class! Frankie can speak about five languages...it's so cool.

H A P P Y * B - D A Y * J O L I E !!!

It's a little late, I know, but you cannot imagine how much fun I had making this! I guess this is what happens when i don't have to work...Oh well i like it though I wish I could give it a background color, but when I tried it just screwed everything up so... Anyway, HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY JOLIE!!!!!!!!! XD

Happy Birthday to Me...

Today's my birthday and I'm officially 16! Yay! I usually never have a big thing for my birthday so it was quiet...what with dad going out somewhere and Simon taking my stuff and going over to a friend's house. But that's usual so i don't really care. I rarely get any presents the day of my birthday (usually days before or after), so I contented myself with sitting outside and reading or playing on the computer. Yes, i did listen to the birthday song by Arrogant Worms...and laughed because it's true. I've gotten $75 so far, which is all going into my savings account and my Europe trip fund...no spending money for me. I'm happy i got a $25 itunes card though and jewelry from my aunt! She's awesome, though she still needs to give me my money from work...hmm. Dad's working again so She's going to have to pick me up tomorrow. Oh that reminds me! I have to take my permit test soon so I can legally start driving! :) Cool.

All in all...not my best birthday, but i don't really care :D

P.S. I've beaten my old record of fifteen. Now I've traveled around the sun sixteen times! Ha! Eat that self! *maniacal laughter* Oh and thank you to my friends on facebook who wished me a happy birthday! (I'm still trying to delete my profile, but not because I hate you guys. Facebook is just so damn annoying...)

P.P.S. I've re-discovered one of my favorite 'get stuck in your head' songs! It's Istanbul (not Constantinople). Every time someone mentions Turkey or something related to that i sing that song...I really don't know why...XD
