~lent~

What should I give up for Lent? I can't think of anything. I thought of Dr. Pepper, but I didn't think that was a big enough sacrifice. Then I thought of chocolate...too big. I told my Dad I was going to give up folding laundry. He said 'No you're not'
So now I'm stuck. I don't know what I should give up. I'm thinking, thinking...I've got nothing.
My Dad is giving up sweets, My Mom is giving up ten pounds ;), and my sister is giving up candy. Hm....
While I'm thinking I'm eating a Hersey Kiss. Maybe I should give up chocolate...
Still thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking...

~bucket~

The bucket list! Everyone makes one at some point in their life. So here's my bucket list.

1: Become a published author, with several well known books.
2: When my books gets published, I want for at least one of them to become a movie
3: Learn about bird biology and get a job at an aviary
4: Go to Colorado to see the mountains!
5: Go to Alaska during winter
6: Own a Pink Buggie
7: Star in one movie (maybe two)
So there you have it. As you know, you add more during life, so I'll defiantly add some more things to the list.

My dad isn't much of a Valentines Day person. He never really did anything on Valentines because he said "I can show I'm romantic everyday! Not just on Feb. 14th!" So there you have it.
We surprised my mom when he said he got reservations for 4 for Valentines day (I said four three times...hehe) It's going to be awesome. I love you dad!

~ironic~

The Hunger Games is coming out the same day my dog died. How ironic is that!?!?
In The Hunger Games a lot of people die. There is a lot of blood and pain and saddness. It's coming out the same day my dog died. Seriously?!?!
I'm still going to see it, but it would have been better if The Hunger Games would come out a day or two later than it is coming out. grr...

~lyrics~

I remember tears streaming down your face When I said, I'll never let you go When all those shadows almost killed your light I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight...

Just close your eyes The sun is going down You'll be alright No one can hurt you now Come morning light You and I'll be safe & sound...

Don't you dare look out your window darling; Everything's on fire The war outside our door keeps raging on Hold onto this lullaby Even when the music's gone, gone

Just close your eyes The sun is going down You'll be alright No one can hurt you now Come morning light You and I'll be safe & sound...

Oooooo, Oooooo, Oooooo, Oooooo Lala... Lala... Lala... Lala...
Oooooo, OooOoo, Oooooo, OooOoo Lala... Oh Lala...

Just close your eyes You'll be alright Come morning light, You and I'll be safe & sound...

Oooooo, OoooOooo, Oooooo, OoooOooo, Oooooo, OoooOooo, Oooooo, OoooOooo,
Oooooo, OoooOooo, Oooooo, OoooOooo...
The song from the Hunger Games. Called Safe & Sound. Can't wait for the movie.

~valentine~

Valentines Day is coming up. It's quite exciting. Although it will be quite boring for me. No one ever sends me anything. I don't like anyone in that way right now. I think someone may like me, but I have a big question. What is love?

Love

1. a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.

2. a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.

3. sexual passion or desire.

4. a person toward whom love is felt; beloved person; sweetheart.

5. used in direct address as a term of endearment, affection, or the like

The defintion of love, but that's not what I meant.

 

How do you know when you're in love? What does it feel like? I don't know... I want to know what it's like! But I don't. So someone, what is love? How do you know when YOU'RE in love?

I'll know someday, but for now, I guess I'm fine with just not knowing. I'm only 13 after all. I still have plenty of time to find out. So for now I will wait.

~classes~

Classes is normally the same except for the little surprises behind the corner, and there are a lot of them.
Guitar: I walked in and there were dividers and buckets on on side of the room so the table was vertical instead of horizontal. Mr. Abshire said it was like that when he came in. He asked how my week was, and I said pretty bad. We continued to work on bass lines.
Journalism: We got the middle school movement to put together. My two articles that made it in were My favorite winter activity and if vegetables could talk. Then we worked on acronyms. My partner and I looked through a car catalog for acronyms, and we found this car and underneath it said 'Be the Hamster!' We were like 'WHAT?!?!'
Watercolor: We did animal portraits. My friend said she's been waiting all year to do animals. I choose a Blue Jay, and I think it came out great.
Improv: When we played find the leader, I went out and when I came back in I took my three guesses. My last guess was wrong, but the guy I guessed was right next to the leader. I was so mad! We played charades, and I went up twice. The first time I went up was The Hunger Games, then I got the Never Say Never movie.
Volleyball: We all went into stations where we think we need the most work on. I went to sets, and then we scrimmaged.
