He really likes music. I can tell. I love the original song, and he made a great version out of it. Thank you, Steven Sharp Nelson of the piano guys.

~experiment~

I must share an experiment I am doing!
One of my favorite authors, Rick Riordan, has written some of my favorite books. One thing I like about them is that there are a couple of romance scenes every once and a while. I've always toyed with the idea of maybe adding some romance somewhere, because I know I'm going to do it eventually, and I might as well try it out.
A book I'm writing now takes place in the Middle Ages. when people were courting, people would arrange "dates" for their children. My main charater is fourteen, and back then that was about the age people got married. So I started to work.
I hope this will go well. I don't have much experience, but I've studied Rick Riordans parts, and I think I can do this. Wish me luck!

~fieldtrip~


We went on a field trip on Tuesday. We went to Strathmore to see....the dogs. Dogs here dogs there, they're so cute! Sadly, they do not allow pictures inside the exhibit, otherwise I would've taken photos. But....they didn't say anything about OUTSIDE.
There is the actual building, of course.
....and here is me, my friend, Adian, and Stella.
Well, that is all that I took.

~hair~

I felt like doing something different with my hair. So I started playing with the idea of dying it.
It's this thing called ColorMe. It's basically just paint that comes out after one shampoo. I got a tube of the stuff so I can keep putting it on.

~adult~

High school. When September comes along, I'll be in High school. Kind of a scary thought. tonight I'll have an orentation for everyone who is going into the 9th grade. We kind talk about high school credits, what our schedule should be like, stuff like that.

I don't really want to go to high school, because that means I'll just be closer to being an adult. Sometimes I wish I was still a little girl, and that I was still sitting in my Mom's lap.

On the other hand, I'm excited. Because being a step closer to being an adult isn't a bad thing. I think the thought is just a little scary to me at the moment. You'll become more responsible. You'll become you're own person, where you make your own decisions. That isn't bad at all.

Anyway, I should go now.

~serpent~

It is mine, and I got it much quicker than the second one, and I DIDN'T find at Target this time either. Instead, I was smart, and got it the quickest way possible! I ordered it from.....amazon.
Ok, not the most glorious way, but oh well! I have the book, and only three days after it came out. Not bad.
This shall be! A glorious! 401 pages!

~confirmation~

Well, after two years, it's finally here. Ok, it's not for another month, but with everything going on, it feels like it's here. My Confirmation.
Here's the deal. When we were baptized, our parents promised to help us grow in faith and to walk as a child of God. Now we're in eighth grade, and the time has come, where WE are taking our faith in our own hands. We decide how we are going to live in God. How we are going to recognize God in our everyday lives.
I was excited for this day since the 6th grade, but now that it's here....gosh. I'm making a promise to grow in faith by myself without any help. It's scary. But I think I'm ready. I feel I've taken my own faith and I'm doing what I will promise to do already. I feel I have been since the beginning of 7th grade.
It started when my dog died. I was devastated. But now, I see it happened for a reason. I got a new aspect on life. I started to recognize God around me and in everything I do. I now understand God has a plan for me, and he makes things happen, good and bad, to keep us on the right path. If my dog had NOT died, I'd probably still be where I was in the 6th grade. I wouldn't be ready for my Confirmation, I don't think.
Yes, I'm ready. I have to go to an interview with the Pastors at my church later, and I must prepare.
