Topic: Reading/Books

So in the past I haven't been much of a reader. I could never find a book that I could get into. I think part of my problem was that I don't like books about mysteries or anything thats not real. I like books about real events that have happened or real people who have actually lived.

I couldn't find any good books, at our library that is, about stuff that has actually happened. If I did find one it would be more like a reference book for reports and not an actual book like I wanted.

I decided to change things up. My mom is a big fan of Stephen King. She always would tell me about the books. I decided to give them a shot. I read "Carrie" first. To my surprise I got really into it. I read it in about a week. After I got done with that I started reading " 'Salem's Lot." The beginning of it started out pretty slow, but I'm starting to get into the good stuff now.

I'm really looking forward to his other books I read in the future. :]]

Topic: Monday (Yesterday)

So yesterday just started out kind of bad. I had to walk to school. It was freezing and it was snowing. In front of the school I had to walk into the snow and wind mixed together.. NOT FUN!

Then the rest of the day went like any other school day.

Last night I went with my mom and Alison into Cedar Rapids. While walking out the door to go to the car, I slammed my finger in it. I'm pretty sure my finger nail is going to fall off :(. Alison had to go pick up her retainer so that was the main reason why we went. After that we went to the mall. I had to get Myranda a b-day present. I picked out a new shirt for the concert I'm going to tomorrow night. Then we ate in the food court. After that we just went to Wal-Mart.

The roads home were pretty bad. The wind was blowing the snow around so much there were spots where you couldn't even see the road in front of you. So it took us longer to get home.

Topic: If I were the last person on earth

I'm pretty sure if I were the last person on Earth then the human race would pretty much go extinct.

I think it would suck to be the last person because you'd always be by yourself. You'd never have anyone to be with or live with, you'd always just be alone. I would probably go insane by myself. There wouldn't be anyone to talk to so that would drive me crazy.

I think it would just be awful. You really couldn't do that much by yourself. I mean you can eat and regular stuff like that, but you couldn't do anything fun ever. So I think if I was the last person in the world I would die from boredom.

Topic: Alison's B-Day night

So last night, since it was Alison's birthday, I went with her and her mom to a movie. Before we went to the movie we went to Oyama's, which is by Galaxy. We had sushi. I like sushi a little bit so it was fine. We tried octopus which I thought was really not that bad. It just is really tough and chewy. But it's probably not something I would eat again.

After eating we went to the movies. Alison wanted to see "Lovely Bones". I really wanted to see that super bad so I didn't debate. The movie was almost 3 hours long but it was insanely good! The one part that really surprised me was the ending. I expected it to end differently, but I think the guy that killed her got what he deserved.

After the movies we went to Cold Stone. :)

Even though it was cold out and we were eating ice cream it was so yummy. I just got a strawberry milkshake but Alison got these ice cream cupcakes that had red velvet cake in them. Oh my gosh they were the best cupcake I've ever eaten! The frosting was really creamy and pink. It turned Alison's lips bright pink, which I thought was pretty funny because she didn't notice at all.

We didn't get home until 10 so I didn't get to bed until about 11, which is late for me because I usually go to bed at 10, so I'm really tired.

Topic: New Year's Resolution

I was going to write about what I did over break, but I pretty much did everything I wrote on another entry so no need to.

My New Year's Resolution is to do better in school, and not forget to do homework. I'm not very good at remembering to do homework from my earlier classes because they're so early I forget by the time I have 7th hour study hall or when I go home. I don't forget my later classes homework though, which I think is weird because my later classes don't usually give homework that often. So I hope to do better at remembering to do homework.

I'd also like to get more athletic or to actually do an extra-curricular activity. I'm not very good at sports because I have long limbs and I'm just awkward, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to try out for cheerleading for football next school year. If I like it I'll probably do basketball cheerleading. I've never like cheerleaders because they're all preppy and cheerful (the opposite of me), but now I think it would be so much fun.

That's pretty much all I want to do this year as a resolution because there isn't much that I would want to change, except those two things. I'm pretty happy with the way most things are going in my life, so there's no need to change anything.

Topic: Christmas Break (before) continued...

On the Saturday after Christmas it's my grandma's birthday so were going out to dinner. I think it's fun to have Christmas and then the next day go out.

On Sunday I'm going to get my hair cut. My cousin Piper cuts my hair so it's always fun to catch up on everything thats happened.

...

On New Years Eve I'm going to Theresa's house for her New Years Eve party. It should be fun because there will be guys there and then the girl's get to sleep over.

For the rest of vacations I'll probably not do that much. Probably go to my dad's and spend a lot of time with him. I might even go with him tonight.

After break happens I'll write about everything that did happen, but more of what I did because right now I don't know everything I'm going to do or going to get.

Only 3 more days until Christmas!! :D

Topic: Christmas gift(s)

I couldn't decide on what I wanted to get my mom. I thought it would be super awesome if I bought her something with my own money, instead of my dads. Since I did work for my grandma this summer, I have close to $200. I had been thinking on what to get her for a while now, and I finally decided to check out some jewelry I could find online. I kept looking, but I couldn't find anything that was in my price range that she would like. After looking for a few hours I found a mother's ring. My dad had gotten her a mother's necklace with my sisters and my birthstones on it.

So the ring I picked out in the shape of an open heart, on the inside you put your birth stones, which I put mine (peridot) with my name on the band next to it. Then I put my sister Madi's (emerald) with her name next to it on the band. Finally I put Savannah's (ruby) with her name next to it.

I bought the silver one, with my sister's and my birthstones and names on it.

I had to buy it with a credit card because it was online, so there I had help from my dad. He said I don't have to pay him back, but I'm going to make him take the money because I should pay for it since it's from me.
