My head hangs low. I am sad.

All my dreams and hopes have been dashed.

The recycle bin is full. Boxes now fill my hockey space. The basement is too full of junk to host any hockey practicing. My head hangs low. I am sad.

My blog needs a new layout. I find none to my taste. My head hangs low. I am sad.

My jelly beans that I got for Christmas are all gone. I have no more. My head hangs low. I am sad.

My math book awaits me. The red pen is ready. My head hangs low. I am sad.

My father is sick. The Buckeyes play their bowl game tonight. I will be following the hockey game on my laptop with no video. My head hangs low. I am sad.

My quiz material lies untouched on the couch. I must memorize. I am behind. My head hangs low. I am sad.

Maya has forgotten how to “sit.” She can only “lay down.” My head hangs low. I am sad.

I stare into our refrigerator and see no tasty goodies. We are out of bacon. My head hangs low. I am sad.

School started yesterday. At first it was fun. Then I found out I’m failing math. My head hangs low. I am sad.

My mind is running blank of sentences. My head hangs low. I am sad.

My room is messy and must be cleaned. I am really busy and don’t have time. I am now making up excuses. My head hangs low. I am sad.

The drama group I am in has a new play coming up. “A Tale of Two Cities.” My brother is the two main parts. The director has casted the parts. I don’t know what part I am yet. My head hangs low. I am sad.

I must take a puppy outside. In the cold. My head hangs low. I am sad.

My head hangs low. I am sad.

Thank Goodness I’m Not Bored

I am very proud to say that this is the first day I have lasted without being bored (for now at least.)

This day has been filled with excitement and long lasting memories. Okay…that’s going a little bit far. I woke up and did my devotions. Then, I decided I should probably shower, but before I did so, I thought it would be very smart to eat breakfast. I walked down our 13 steps (yes, I count my steps) and ate two pieces of toast topped with butter and cinnamon sugar, accompanied by a glass of chocolate milk. Then I showered. It felt good and refreshed me. I came downstairs and reluctantly did my first Math lesson of 2011. It was a stupid lesson, but then again that’s what I think about all Math lessons. Then…I read a book that I have to read by next Monday. It is quite confusing and the plot is a little silly…:p I practiced my piano for a little while then ate lunch: Ramen Noodles with a cup of water. :D Now, I sit at my laptop typing. (After checking up on my e-mail and Caps players tweets. :D)

So, I figured that I could make the most of today and type up a blog post….a tedious, boring blog post for my very few followers to read. ;)

My poor younger brother, Lucas has come down with the same sickness I had this week. Also, my poor father has gotten it. I just hope with all my heart that Zechariah won’t get it, because we have our church retreat this weekend, and since it is Zechariah’s senior year, this will be his last retreat, so I really don’t want him to miss it.

This is the first time today that I have been bored, maybe I shouldn’t have decided to blog….I think I’m going to go into the garage and fool around with my hockey stick, tennis ball and recycle bin. (I use the hockey stick to hit the ball into the recycle bin.) It isn’t the biggest recycle bin though, so I can’t really do any cool shots on it. And the garage doesn’t have a lot of space except for the small strip Lucas and I cleared out so we could pass and shoot. Once it gets warmer outside and Lucas feels better, we can play street hockey. I so desperately want to play ice hockey, but it’s expensive and too far away. I’ll have to stick with inline hockey if my parents will ever let me sign up for it. Liberty, which is the college I plan to go to, has a girls’ hockey team, so I want to play on that team when I go there, but it’s ice hockey and at the time I don’t even know how to skate.

Inception Review

There are many words to describe this movie. Ever so many. Only one word can give you an full and thorough explanation of the movie though: AWESOME!

I really really really dislike Leonardo DiCaprio, but I thought he did okay in this movie. Okay, okay, you got me. I thought he was the perfect actor to play Cobb. I’m sure another actor could have done great too, but no matter all my hate towards the man, he did really good.

Before I saw this movie, I had heard the comments of my friends and family on it. Everything I heard had claimed that the movie was confusing and hard to understand. I’m sure I missed a few things, but I thought the movie in general was quite easy to comprehend. The one thing that many of you would say is hard to understand is the question: Was the whole thing a dream? Or….was just the end a dream?

The characters were pretty sweet and well developed. My favorite character was definitely Arthur, although Eames was pretty beast too. One of my favorite things about Arthur is his “secret” love for Ariadne. This was shown in a dream. The subconscious was catching on or whatever. They were sitting on a bench, waiting for their signal. The people were all looking for them (or something like that) so Ariadne asks, “What should we do?” Arthur says, “Quick! Kiss me!” So she does. Then when the people are still looking at them, she asks, “Why didn’t that work?”

I thought that scene was pretty funny.

I really didn’t like Mal, but it was essential for her to be in it. (For those of you who have seen this movie, you know why.) I thought the movie was really really good and I definitely be watching it again.

It is NOT a good movie for young children. I would say 12+. Otherwise, definitely watch it. And (even though you may not like this) I suggest watching it with subtitles. Subtitles will really help you catch some of the things you wouldn’t normally.

My Rating: 5 Stars

5 short…why?!!!

This is my very first official post of the new year 2011.

Just so you know, today is 1.1.11.

I wanted to have my 150th post today, but this will be my 146th…I don’t know how I didn’t do it, I was almost positive that I would, but too bad…

Last night, I was at a New Year’s party at a friend’s house. We played outside all night!!!!!!!!!!! Well, until around 11, then we decided we should probably go inside. So, we played inside until 11:45. We had a devotional and then watched the ball drop, accompanied by young children blowing horns at the drop.

It was a fun party. Once everyone left, (I spent the night) we watched Inception, which is a great movie, just so y’all know. Anyway, no matter that it’s a new year and I have so many things I could say, I don’t feel like typing it.

OH! The Bridgestone Winter Classic is tonight at 8 and I’m really really excited. I was going to be going, but dad shares the tickets with some other guys at work, and one of the other guys wanted to go. I’m kind of disappointed, because it would be cool to have the experience of going, but I guess you can see better on the tv anyway, and sitting outside for a while isn’t my favorite thing in the world. I will be watching it though, don’t get me wrong.Capitals vs. Penguins. It'll be a great game.

Well, now I have nothing else to say. I could bore you with more hockey junk or football junk, but that would just be “junk” wouldn’t it….

I am watching Florida/Penn State football right now…

All Things Random and….Stupid….

I can’t believe my post last night. I read over it this morning. I’m quite ashamed at how I could act so young. Okay, so I thought it was a little bit funny, but I do agree with myself that I should have done better than that if people were going to be reading it. So, today is an all random post. I’m going to be throwing out some….random things in an organized sort of manner.

1. Lately I’ve been wanting to do a picture video, or whatever they’re called. Where you take a bunch of pictures of something and then put it all together into a video and it looks like you really took a movie!!!! This is usually done with legos, but I’ve been wondering if I can pull it off with something easier….such as to say…i don’t know….maybe stuffed animals, but we’ll see how it turns out once I start testing things

2. Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve (NYE for short.) I am excited about the new year, but I’m also scared at how fast it’s come and everything’s that’s going to change with it. I mean, in February I’ll be 13 and in September, I’ll be in high school. I mean, I know that it’s a long time away, but it’s still scary to think about it. Plus, it will come faster than seems possible, so I always have to be prepared.

3. I have read so many books this week since I have been sick. I read The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (again….) Actually, I think that book is quite boring and probably one of my least favorites of the Chronicles. I also read The Sorcerer of the North which is the fifth in the Ranger’s Apprentice series. Then, I read The Christmas List, which I figured had sat on my shelf for too long and I might as well just get it over with. It was like reading a Hallmark movie script. It was awful. I mean, don’t get me wrong it had a good meaning, but…boy, oh boy. It was extremely predictable.

4. I hate puppies. I don’t remember Maya being this much trouble when we first got her, but then again…I was 9 and I don’t have the best memory ever.

5. I long to see Tron. I’ve heard good things about it and the trailers look amazing.

6. This post is slacking. I keep wondering why I haven’t come up with any ideas for new posts yet. I’m sure I’ll get a few ideas, but I’m praying that with the changes in the New Year, one of them will be my mind. This sounds really wrong and different, but my mind does need to change in some ways. I really do need to find a way to get new ideas for blogging. I really do need to find ways to stop procrastinating. I really do need….I can’t remember anything else….

That’s about all I have to say for today.

Through and Around.

Could it really be this boring?

It is December 29th, 2010, extremely close to New Year’s Day; 4 days after Christmas; finally up to 50 degrees and I am bored out of my mind?!

I feel bad for the friends of mine who have e-mailed me recently, because since I am bored, I type as much as I can, to get myself to do something, rather than staring at a screen waiting for a new e-mail.

I feel bad for my mind, which I keep racking for new blog post ideas, which fail to show.

I feel bad for my dog, of whom I keep asking ideas.

I feel bad for….this sentence, which has no meaning…..

Yeah….I’m all out of ideas now…so this post just lost it’s hilarious touch….if it even had any….

I think I’ve lost my hilarious touch…..(I did have one right?)

I could bore your minds with hockey stats, but then….you’d be bored and I couldn’t let that happen. I mean, my most adoring fans bored?! What would happen to my reputation?

I’m really failing right now. I am laughing at myself. For my stupidity.

You are laughing right now. At my stupidity.

I am ashamed. Because of my stupidity.

Okay, I’ve lost it. This is the stupidest blog post ever. With emphasis on the ever.

Now I’m blank. I have nothing else to say, yet I’m still typing. Why? Because I think you’re being entertained, but you’re actually saying in your mind, “And she wonders why she doesn’t have a lot of followers?”

Yeah….this is dumb….you can give up now on me, which might just be a good idea, or you could just go on reading…and reading…and reading….but please remember that I have nothing else to do…just type…and type and type….

Feel the pain of my e-mail contacts.

Okay, this is….hilarious!!!! HAHAHA! No it’s not…I’m dying here….but I’m tempted to keep typing. I’m telling you now to stop reading this…this is awful. AWFUL! Help me….WAH!!!! WAH!!!!!!!

What has happened to me? My mind is mush….me. The creative one. The imaginative one. The….12 year old. HAS RUN OUT OF IDEAS!

Death to me. That’s all I have to say. Ugh…this is dumb. My fingers will me to type, but my mind is pleading me to stop. My mind is on its knees, begging. With puppy eyes.

Okay…this isn’t even funny anymore. I’m done.

Wait…no I’m not…because I can’t stop typing. I’m so very sorry. I shouldn’t even hit the publish button when I’m finally done with this idiotic display of myself. Yes, I am a boring person…I’m sorry….:( I will try harder next post to humor you. If there is ever going to be a next post….

AHHH!!!!!!!!! I’M DEAD!!!!!!!! Just kidding….

Okay…that joke was nowhere NEAR funny…ugh…again, I apologize for this post…*hangs head in shame*

I can’t wait until school starts back up….EEP! Did I just say that?! No. I didn’t. I typed it. Hahahahaha! Get it?! I didn’t say it! I typed it!!!!!

Okay, now I’ve really lost it….

I’m done now. Done. DONE!

I don’t even feel like saying ‘Over and Out.’ so…………uh….

DEATH TO PRAYING MANTIS’!!!!!!

Just kidding. Those things are cool. (but very scary. Actually terrifying. They eat each other.)

Under and in.

A little late, but never too late

As everyone else was posting pictures of their Christmas tree ornaments, I figured it only fit that I do the same thing. Most of our ornaments are White House ornaments that our grandparents give us every year. I didn’t take any pictures of those though…the rest of our ornaments are each of the kids. We each get a new one every year, and of course, friends give us ornaments for Christmas too.

This is a dear little angel that sparkles in the lights. I’m not exactly sure where we got it though, but I think Lucas might have gotten it in Sunday School or something.

This is Lucas’. We all got a soccer ornament that year. They all look exactly like us, which is slightly funny. I didn’t take pictures of the other ones, because they weren’t as cute as this one.

This one’s mine and I obviously got it in 2007, so I was nine.

I was having trouble focusing the camera on this picture. We have these little icicles all over the tree. In the corner you can see my soccer ornament.

This one was given to us by a friend this year. It’s homemade. This picture’s one of my favorites, the macro was working perfectly. Our tree is actually fake. It saves a lot of time for us in Christmas, because we have so much we do during December, we don’t have to go looking to buy one.

This one’s really cute. We got it a few years ago, from some old friends of ours.

Over and Out.

PS Sorry for the lack of posts on my part. I’ve been pretty busy this month. I’m going to try to pick up the pace and January though, and I’m trying to come up with some good ideas for posts (which is failing) so we’ll see what comes up with the New Year.
