So I'm kinda bored...

I'm bored and my head hurts. Like, OWWW! Cuz I've got a sinus infection AGAIN. But I'm taking the leftover antibiotics from last time so hopefully I'll be feeling better soon. I think I type better with my eyes closed. Anyway, today we went Christmas shopping. SO tired. It was tiring. I didn't have all that much energy to begin with. So I'm pretty exhausted. My whole face hurts from my wretched sinuses. I should start a IHMS club: I Hate My Sinuses. Or IHMWS, see above. Or I Hate My Painful Sinuses. Or I Strongly Dislike My Painful Sinuses. Ok, I'll stop rambling/complaining now. I got most of my christmas shopping done at least.

I cooked breakfast (with Hannah) and dinner today. Nothing fancy. Just pancakes and ham and leftover muffins and peel your own clementines for breakfast--oh, chocolate chip pancakes!! And grilled cheese and chips and salsa and bananas with cheerios for dinner. Not cheerios with bananas. The other way around. So that's probably the most I've ever "cooked" in one day in my life. OH but don't let me forget my helpers--Hannah actually cooked the pancakes mostly, and Hannah and Abby cleaned up dinner.

Would someone hurry up and get online so I can talk to you??

wow, that was kinda cool. Ten minutes later I'm talking to 3 people. And ten minutes after that I have to get off. Oh well.

HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE

The bad news: My dance class was canceled last night.
The good news: WE WENT TO SEE HP4!!!

It was amazing!!! My first thoughts were, "Wow, this is soooo fast paced!" And then I thought, "oh, it has to be, doesn't it?" There was absolutely no extraneous material--and I don't mean the funny bits, I mean actually plot line things. There were plenty of funny things, but I didn't get the feeling that I did in HP3 that, "OK, enough of this, why didn't you cut it and put THIS in?" Everything in the movie was very cool.

SPOILERS:
There was no:
Ludo Bagman
Winky
Mrs. Weasley
Mr. Roberts
The Durslys
Ministry refusal to believe dear old baldywart was back (we're going to be murdered in our beds) (ha) (or NOT)
Dobby

Those were the main things, I think. And there was pretty much nobody but Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Like, there was, but there were tons of minor characters. Fred, George and Neville took greater prominance. And Filch. IT"S SNOWING!!!! Anyway...there was practically no Sirius. But they did have the school song! We loved that!

I always imagined the Priori Incantatem to be more quietly intense, not so chaotic. And the echo people were not as JK described them and therefore I don't think they were how anyone imagined them.

In the lake was pretty cool--sufficiently creepy. The dragon was sweet. Anddddd.....I think I'll go eat monkey bread or something.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I'm hoping to post later! :-)

Un otra vez, aquí estoy, preguntando qué hacer para los últimos minutos de Español. Yo pregunto si hay programas donde puede hablas en otra lenguas con gente que habla eso lengua. Así un amigo de pluma. Yo podría escribir a mis primos que está aprendiendo Español.

Nadie necesita leer eso, sólo estoy aburrido y no estoy motivado. Estoy enfermero. Y muy, muy, muy cansado. Yo tenido muchas noches demasiado tarde. Lo será interesante ver qué esto dice. Babelfish no es muy confiable, pero es mejor que sólo un diccionario. Y ahora, veremos. Y verás.

I am again, here, asking what to do for the last minutes of Spanish. I ask actually I wonderif there are programs where she can you you can speak in another languages with people who speak that language. Thus like a pen friend. I could write to my cousins who are learning Spanish.

Nobody needs to read that, I am only boring BOREDand I am not motivated. I am nurse sick. And very, very, very tired. I had many nights too much late. He will be it interesting it will be interesting to see what this says. Babelfish is not very reliable, hence all the pinkbut it is better than only a dictionary. And now, we will see. And you will see. Y ahora, tú ves! And now, you see! And now I´m done with Spanish!

HI I'M SO HYPER!!

I"m hyper a lot of the time actually, like every other day, although this time I think it's owing to the delicious piece of spice cake with amazing muy rico caramel frosting that I just ate.

So today's the big day, Nov. 18th. HP IS OUT!!!! Dad really wanted to go see it today, and I did kinda too, and I think just the two of us could've made it but the other three couldn't. Mom's not feeling well, Abby's seeing a movie tonight, and Hannah had too much school. And of course it wouldn't be as much fun to see it not as a family. But we'll see it soon. If you've seen it...I'm not as strict about not finding out what happens with the movies because we already know what happens. But don't tell me anything anyway, anything more than what you thought of it! We might see it next Wednesday after ROAD.

I'm taking a half hour break before piano because I feel like it, GOSH. :-D

I'm listening to switchfoot, the Beautiful Letdown. Got it from the library to see if I want it for Christmas. Abby got to it first and decided even if I don't want it, she does. And I got 2 Reliant K cds.


NEXT WEEK IS THANKSGIVING! IT SNOWED! 19 DAYS OF BEING 15 YEARS OLD LEFT! Oh, and it's so funny, cuz Dad always prays on our birthday that the next year would be even better than the year before, but I'm not totally sure that's possible. Fifteen has been a reeeeeaaally good year. hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm-hhhhhhhhhhmmmmmm...

WOW. I THINK I LIKE THIS CD. {WE WERE MEANT TO LIVE FOR SO MUCH MORE} Or maybe it's just the electric guitar. I think electric is one of the things I thrive on. OH AND GUESS WHAT!! My dance song has ELECTRIC GUITAR in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so excited when I heard it!

I think I'd better stop shouting now. HAVE A GOOD LIFE!

So life's goin' pretty well...if not great...

Tonight I did a back walkover off the hassock (little round heavy footstool type thing) and seeing as I have never kicked over off anything that is a big improvement. Also I really need to learn how to do it cuz there's only a few of us in my class who can't do it (rock ON fishy!!!). Annnnnd...Sunday was of course terrific, we played Balderdash the whole two hours of youth group. I laughed so hard!!!!! SO hard. And Brittani P and I won. Blonde Brittani, not Brunette Brittani. And...I've only got a little bit here...oh, don't let me make it sound like life is all of a sudden peachy and relaxed, it's actually peachy and INSANE! I don't know how I do it except maybe owing it to my morning routine and my wonderful boyfriend...lol!!! :-) Routine being wake up to Ordinary Day, the lyrics of which I will post sometime...hey, why not now...

Woke up this morning, went to the window, saw a rainy day
Feeling the pressure from all of the things I gotta face today
All of my days are totally crazy
Can't do nothing right
It's an ordinary day

Every minute feels like an hour slowly creeping by
All of this stress, but I do my best to take it all in stride
I need to decidde need to unwind all these things are on my mind
It's an ordinary day

Things are crazy but it's alright
You make me feel alive again
When it rains You are the sunshine
That lights me up from deep within
I can finally treasure this love beyond a measure
You've given me the pleasure of an ordinary day

And also I blink along to the music, which is a new addition to keep my eyes open while I read my One Year Bibble. lol. Sure, Bibble. yeah. So where was I going with that? OH, that's how I make it through life in general. :-D Well I'll get off now so abby can have some time before the biggest loser.

WARNING: DO NOT WASTE TIME PLAYING WITH TIDDLYWINKS THAT SHOULD BE SPENT DOING SOMETHING MEANINGFUL WITH YOUR LIFE!!!! It's very easy to do. Cuz she's so cute! :)

These past few days

Ok, so Thursday was the worst day I've had in MONTHS. I woke up, watched my hamster die, and then the day kind of just went downhill from there. I wasn't actually too sad about the hamster, he's pretty old and now I don't have to take care of him for nothing in return (like getting to get him out and play with him sometimes would be all the return I would need, but we never had time). But watching your hamster dying isn't a good way to start your day, I don't recommend it. Then I had a million algebra problems and the whole thing was just really annoying becuase I took 3 review tests and then I took form A of the test and there were so many questions that I didn't know how to do. You'd think that when you're getting tested on two years' worth of material they'd give you decent review sheets! So Mom said that I didn't have to relearn all the stuff, I just had to go back through and find out how to do the problems I didn't know how to do, and do them. So I spent the entire morning doing that, plus a little reading when my brain was about to burst. "The entire morning"=9-1, so 4 hours of algebra. That'll put anyone in a bad mood. And then my grandparents arrived, but we still had work to do. I did get to go on a lovely walk with Mom, the weather was really nice. But I finished school at like 7 something, which included dinner and a walk, but still! That was a depressing day. But I was kinda proud of myself once I got un-depressed enough to notice that I actually accomplished a lot. Just a little bit.

Then yesterday we did school in the morning, but we got it all done in time to go see Dreamer with my grandpa at 12:45. It was pretty good. Not one of my favorites, because it's one of those horse stories that 10 year old girls love but are really predictable. Speaking of predictable, I'm going to be really surprised if the sister in Kira-Kira, which I just got from the libray, makes it to the end of the book. I'm just saying it now so that when she ends up dying I have proof that I thought of it before I read it. :-D Anyway, we went to Outback for Mom's birthday dinner, which was really nice (and really delicious!) My grandma just gushed about how I was eating vegetables. "I never thought I'd see the day!" Et cetera. That was funny. I'm thinking, as she's gushing: I'm almost sixteen, I have to eat vegetables sometime! Actually I really like veggies with rice and chicken. SO good. I still don't like salad though. :-)

Then this morning I totally wore myself out by raking leaves and then playing in them with Daniel and Tyler H, who were over cuz their dad was chopping up firewood. It was Tyler's idea to make a pile of leaves, and I wasn't too enthusiastic at first, but I'm like, he probably doesn't have that many trees in his yard, I'll make one (we have sooo many leaves and trees), and then I ended up having more fun than he did! So now I'm tired and blogging and then I'm going to call some friends...or not, cuz we're watching a movie, but we still have long distance tomorrow, so whatever!

And...anything else going on? Tomorrow's sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE SUNDAY! So...we're going to watch the second Indiana Jones, I think. Oh, and on the subject of movies, we saw a trailer for Narnia, and it looks really good. I don't often look forward to movies and I don't often really want to see movies before they come out on DVD and we can get them from the library, but I now I've got two: Harry potter, which is a given, and Narnia, which looks amazing. AND it's coming out close to my birthday, so I might ask to go see it as a present. I'm having trouble thinking up presents. Oh, do you have any CD suggestions, like Reliant K or Switchfoot? I put beautiful letdown and mmhmm and happy (mat. west) on hold at the library, to see if I'll like them. So, if you have any CDs that you think I'd like comment on them. :-D I'm leaving now. :-) Oh, and guess what *cracking up at myself* we didn't really have dinner, because we were so full of outback leftovers from lunch that we just got Dairy Queen (not real food, ice cream) and now we'll just have some snacky thing.

After 2 mil postscripts, I'm really stopping! Extra KT pts if you read the whole thing. Don't ask what kt pts are cuz I don't know.
