~tap~

*tap*tap*tap*tap*
Queen Ima does this a lot on her throne. Book writing.
Oh what to write here, on this page. It's mine to write on. I can say whatever I want. When I'm writing my books, I just write. Here, I seem to draw a blank.
*tap*tap*tap*tap* go the keys on my keyboard when I write my books. Here, it is more like:
*tap*tap*tap*.....erase*tap*tap*tap*.......erase. Much different.
It takes me three-five minutes to write a full page of a book. Here, it can take me ten minutes to finish this whole post. Slow!
In softball it's different. Instead of *tap* when you hit a ball, it goes *BAM*
Anyway, it is late and I'm starting to dose off.

~tradition~

I've had a grumpy week. I can't quite explain why, I just have. I don't have my dear Thursday Classes anymore, and I'm missing my friends. Last week I didn't play any softball, which was depressing. But I just don't know.

I need to get in a good mood. I hope tomorrow will make things better. My friends birthday is coming up. We have a tradition. My birthday is in March. My friends is in April. My sisters is in May. When one of our birthdays comes around, we go to lunch, get some ice cream, and go see a movie. Who chooses depends on whose birthday it is. my birthday I chose 'The Lorax'. My friend has chosen 'Pirites! Band of Misfits!' It looks funny, but of course, it's the same creators of Wallace and Gromit, which are awesome, so it'll be good.

~shakesphere~

I finished reading Romeo and Juliet for school today. It STUNK!

Allow me to explain. Part of the reason I don't like the story is because the lovey-dovey stuff, isn't my thing. That, and I focused mostly on when they killed themselves because neither one could stand to live without the other. BLECH!

Worst of all, I have to watch two movies. one of the actual play, and West Side Story, a movie based on the play. Great......

~chocolate~

I forgot. On Easter Sunday I accomplished numbers 6, 8, and 13 on my list of things to do this spring. Get chocolate, get more chocolate, and get even more chocolate.
I got a lot of chocolate on Easter......although I must confess I ate all of it. Oh well. Maybe I'll get some more sometime!

~softball~

I have quite a few hobbies that I enjoy. One of my favorites is one I've been since the beginning of first grade. Softball. It is one of my favorite things, by far. I love how the adrenaline rushes through you when you're running from base to base, the sound the ball makes when it whams into the glove, and the feeling of pleasure you get when you the ball you hit goes sailing into the outfield. I love these things of softball.

Today we had a double header. two back to back games with only a five minute break in between the two. Barely enough time to eat your sandwich. we won the first game easily. Although we didn't win the second game, we played a great game.

My positions are catcher, and outfield. To day, I played catcher for all the innings in the first game, and all but two in the second game. It's quite tiring to be out there in the sun with all that equipment on and basically doing a bunch of squats over and over again. It is quite fun though. You got to be a brick wall. Let nothing get behind you.
I can't wait for our next double header.

~sitting~

Sitting. That is what I've been doing recently. I'm doing it now. On Friday we went to  Rhode Island to see our grandparents, and the trip is seven hours. So I sat nearly all day on Friday.

On Saturday my grandma handed me a collection of three DVD's called 'Mr. Bean'. It was so funny that my sister and I sat in front of the TV all day watching them all.

Sunday was Easter, so I sat by my Easter basket most of the day and ate all my jellybeans and most of my chocolate.

Monday my Mom said 'Hey, let's go see the Hunger Games today!' So we sat in the car half an hour to get to the theater, then we spent two hours in the theater (good movie by the way) and then we sat for another half and hour on the way back.

I can't remember what I did Tuesday, but it probably involved some sitting.

Wednesday we sat in the car another seven hours on our way home.

Then yesterday we had to go o the orientation for Thursday Classes. We drove there,sat through an orientation, then we sat to eat at McDonalds, then we drove back, then we sat through three orientations, then we drove to Sears, then we drove BACK to the orientation, I sat while Stella sat through two more orientations, then we drove to collage park, then we drove home.

Today we drove here to Havre de Grace which took at least an hour, and so far I've been sitting here reading or something. Hope your day doesn't involve as much sitting as my week.

~last~

Crazy. Fun. Sad. Awesome. Some words to describe the last day of Thursday Classes for the year. I will dearly miss all of my friends there. I don't think I can survive till September. I've thought about some classes for next year, but I will get to that later. For now, here is my last post about classes for some time.

Guitar: Well, Mr. Abshire gave us back our finial test, and for the most part we jammed and talked about cellos, dogs, and comedians.

Journalism: We put together the very last issue of the Middle School Movement. Then we played 'Man Bites Dog'. Basically Mrs. Branham gives each pair five cards. Each card has a word that is worth points. You try to make a headline that makes sense out of the words you are given. Some of the headlines included 'Singer Burns Fake Lady' and 'Blind Actress Runs of with Mob Boss'

Watercolor: We had our finial test for water color. A sky wash. Then we showed the class one of our best and favorite paintings. I got the whole class to sign a card for out teacher, Mrs. Norman, and she loved it.

Improv: I lost rock paper scicors for the second time in a row, and for the forth time, maybe fifth, this semester. Penalty each time: You must sing the Improv song. I must say it felt special to lose this time because I was one of the last four people to sing the Improv song for the year.

Volleyball: We had our game against the set up crew. It was us smaller, skinny girls vs the TALL ( I mean tall) high school guys. Yet, the team I was on, team 1, managed to beat them. Yay!

So that was the last day. I do have some idea of the classes I want to take next year....
Physical Science is a definite yes. So is Guitar if I can fit it into my schedule. Oil Painting is a probably. Volleyball depends on my other classes and when I manage to get a study hall.  And Yearbook is a maybe. I'll decide on that one AFTER the orentation this Thursday.

~book~

Number 7 on my list of things to do during Spring Time: Stop coming up of book ideas until I catch up a bit on writing. Well, I'm sorry to say I have not followed this one and it is now what I shall call 'Terminated'
I couldn't help myself.  I tried to stop myself, but once I start thinking, I can't stop. This new book, the beginnings of the idea were just so good it over came me. I had to continue.
Sandy Zendas is the main characters name, and she and her twin brother Andy will go on an adventure they will never forget. That's all I'll say about this new book. Ah, the art of leaving people hanging....
It's hard to describe how I think of book ideas. I don't try to think of one, I let them come to me. They come to me at the strangest times. One of my best book ideas I thought of while staring at the ceiling trying to sleep. Another one looking out the car window. They come at times when I'm alone and I have time to think to myself. For example, another book idea I thought of during the church sermon. But I've never had an idea come during classes. There is WAY to much going on there for me to possibly focus.
Well, I'll let you all go now.
