Okay, now I'm going to give an email that I got from Jessi followed by an email from my mom:

9 Things I Hate About Everyone
1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the heck is yours?
2. People who are willing to get off their bottom to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.
3. When people say 'Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too'. You got that right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?
4. When people say 'it's always the last place you look'. Of course it is. Why the heck would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this?
5. When people say while watching a film 'did you see that?'. No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the floor.
6. People who ask 'Can I ask you a question?'.... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine? 7. When something is 'new and improved!' Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.
8. When people say 'life is short'. What the heck?? Life is the longest thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?
9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks 'Has the bus come yet?'. If the bus came, would I still be standing here?

THE BEST BLONDE JOKE OF THE YEAR - SO FAR:
A man was in his front yard mowing grass when his attractive blonde female neighbor came out of the house and went straight to the mailbox. She opened it then slammed it shut and stormed back in the house. A little later she came out of her house again went to the mail box and again, opened it, slammed it shut again. Angrily, back into the house she went. As the man was getting ready to edge the lawn, here she came out again,marched to the mail box, opened it and then slammed it closed harder than ever.
Puzzled by her actions the man asked her, "Is something wrong"
To which she replied, "There certainly is!"
Are you ready for this?
"My stupid computer keeps saying, 'You've go mail!'"

Hope you liked my jokes!
Ta-ta for now!

Quote of Today: A good friend is somebody who has heard your heart's song a million times and can sing it for you if you ever forget the words.

Debate

So.
Big news: today, in Speech and Debate, I debated this kid that is totally undefeated. We were just starting a new topic (gun control), and the odds were against me. 1) nobody wanted to be my partner, so I had to wait for Ryker (you may recognize him from the bus) because he was sick the days that we were researching online. Therefore, 2) he didn't have too much time to research and 3) I couldn't compare information with him (I had 42 pages. I'm so proud of myself). 4) We have to be able to support both sides, and then we do paper-scissors-rocks (as Mr. Stokoe says, except he's British and he has a cool accent to go along with it) to see what side we get. We lost and got the side that I didn't want: enforce gun control. It's the Second Amendment in the Constitution! I started my statement with this picture:

This picture is titled "Super Guns" and was taken in the Middle East, Iraq area. Did you know that this is only a very, very tiny fraction of the guns confiscated over there? And that the guns they have over there are nothing compared to all of the guns in America? This was my opening statement on "we should enforce gun control." And... wait for it... wait...
I won.
Yea, me! Yesterday, at Family Home Evening, Esther had us go around the family in a circle and say five things for which we are thankful. The Quote of Today is Matthew's response.

Quote of Today: I'm thankful for turkeys because you get to shoot 'em and kill 'em and eat 'em. I'm thankful for myself because I'm awesome, and I'm thankful for school and jobs because they're awesome, just not as awesome as me. So, yeah! Dad, your turn!

An Uneventful Sunday

So.
I know I shouldn't use this tone, but, guess what?!?
Esther broke her arm.
We're an awful family. Matthew got a loose tooth when fighting (sorry, playing) with cousins, and Esther broke her arm when fighting (sorry, once again I make the mistake of not calling it playing) with cousins.
We frosted sugar cookies today. That's always good fun.
The Quote of Today is Matthew's exact wording.
Hasta luego!

Quote of Today: My feets smell good. They smell like socks.

Par-Tay!

So.
This post is called "Par-Tay," but every time I put that into writing, everybody thinks I'm speaking French or something. I'm not, it's just a cool (and you know how I am, so cool) way to say party.
Today was a Friday, though I didn't realize that until fourth period, Speech and Debate. We are now doing a debate on whether the average American home should be allowed to carry guns or not. Pretty much, should Gun Control buckle down on its policies, or stay the same way? We have to support both sides, so no, I'm not going to say what side I'm on.
I just got done watching Ballet Shoes. That is the sweetest book, and a really good movie. They did a good job with it. There was a lot of crying, though.
I turned in Tidbits today to the Reflections program! Just another thing off my chest...
I would now like to address the people who thought it was funny to throw Captain Crunch at me (boys. Namely: Logan, Cameron, and Tyson) on the bus the other day. I had PE first period, and you don't know how many Captain Church pieces fell out of my shirt! Not funny, Mrs. Bitton and the bus driver both got so mad!
Tomorrow Cole and I are doing baptisms with the help of my dad. Aunt Jennifer found family names, which I think is so cool.
We may have to postpone that biking trip (again), Jessi. Sorry! Maybe next time!
I need a prompt for these things called posts. I use topics so fast. I need a new one.
Anyways, time for bed!
The Quote of Today is pretty funny. I dedicate this one to you, Kyra!
Buenos noches!

Quote of Today: Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It is already tomorrow in Australia.

Brace Yourself for the Most Random Post Ever...

Sorry, the last post was a little short.
So.
Today was an awesome B day, Kyra came over to my house to hang out (meaning, eat chocolate, play Skip-Bo, and chat), it's Tuesday, I saw Katie, Jessi's IMing me, this blog looks holidalicious, and we have new music. Overall, this has been an awesome day.
Right?
Right.
On Saturday, on the way to the Sonatina Festival, my Mom was given a ticket by Mr. McNaughton (yes, my English teacher's husband). We were late.
I didn't win my competition, but I think I did pretty good.
Other than that, I'm doing pretty good!
My favoritest song down there is My Christmas List. You really should listen to it.
I know that 24 isn't a Christmas song, but you guys, my fans, demanded otherwise. If you like it so much, buy it on iTunes! For only 99 cents!
Oh, great.
Now I sound like a television add.
On a better note, I counted 16 smiles on the bus!
The Quote of Today is pretty self explanatory.
Hasta Luego!

Quote of Today: We elves like to stick to the four main food groups; candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup.

Getting Ready for the Holidays

I was just doing my calendar, and, guess what? The holidays are approaching fast. Thus, the decoration and songs.
530 visits!
Hasta luego!

Quote of Today: Anyone who says sunshine makes you happy has never danced in the rain.

Make New Friends, but Keep the Old

So.
It's official. That's my new greeting.
I get to school today after counting 10 3/4 smiles on the bus (Tyson said that Janessa's smile looked like 3/4 of a smile, so that's where the 3/4 of a smile comes in) and everybody says, "Oh yeah! It's career day!"
Well, are you going to explain to me what Career Day is, or do you expect me to figure out on my own?
They made me figure it out on my own.
Career day is where all the eighth graders in the school skip first and second periods (my least favorite classes- science and US history) to have an assembly and visit a bunch of stations with speakers at them. Isn't this the life?
I saw Bailey in the halls, looking very sad, so I invited her to celebrate Career Day with Kyra, Katie, Jamy, Janessa, Dezzi, one of her friends and I. She did. At first it was fun, but then... I was kidnapped.
See, my first station wasn't exactly by choice.
Cosmetics.
Ugggh.
Paul Mitchell was there advertising their beauty school. You know me, right? I don't care about a stinkin' beauty school! I barely spend 10 minutes on my look every day, and now they want my to call it my life?
Uh-uh.
Second station: interesting. I get in to the therapy class, and I say, "I know everybody in here! Well except for you. Who are you?" (standard greeting to people I don't know).
"I'm Alejandro." It's coming back to me...
Wait a minute.
"You went to Central, right?"
"Hey. How do you know tha... Elizabeth!!!"
Yes, I did know this kid. He used to come to my house every morning. We would have some monkey bread and go to school together. It's a small world after all.
Third class: Firefighters and EMTs. I thought Matthew would be interested to what I would have to say (because I did learn quite a lot), but noooo! I'm too busy paying attention to my DS to hear about the firefighter class that you visited just for me, Lizzie!
Whatever.
Fourth (and final) station: Photography. This was by far my favorite. He was just enthusiastic. I like enthusiastic.
Other news:
It snowed!
I've had sooo many people ask for my work, so guess what? I made a whole website for my work to replace that-old-barely-able-to-hold-one-poem-inside-let-alone-all-of-these-41-other-pages-inside-oh-my-goodness-I'm-breaking-duct-tape-me-more-than-I-already-am-please-binder. Ouch.
The web address is 99lovebugs.webs.com, but there's a quick link to it on the sidebar. -->
Reflections is due November 14. Yes, to all those people who have been asking me, I am entering Tidbits.
I've just noticed that I tend to write a lot on this blog. Sorry, for those of you who don't like to read too much. I'll stop now.
The Quote of Today is from Matthew.
Hasta luego!

Quote of Today: My family rocks, but girls are hot.

To Be or Not to Be...

I'm scared.
1) Matthew's doing this hissing thing.
2) Obama or McCain?
I vote neither. They both could be better. If it were me, I'd write in Mitt Romney. But that's just me.
So.
Four days until the Sonatina Festival!
Today Kyra and I dragged Emily and David to the second stop, where we barely made the bus.
Matthew's tooth is still hanging on.
We now have 500 visits to my blog! Thanks, you guys (high-five)!
Sorry this post was so small. I have nothing to say. I'll give you an extra-long Halloween Quote of Today to make up for it.
Hasta luego!

Quote of Today: Every Halloween when the kids come home, dump all of the candy into the "hand-out bowl." Everybody will come to your house when they see that when you were giving out junk, you're now giving out the King Sized. An extra bonus; now you don't need to pay for the cavities to be filled!

Just Another Manic Monday

So.
Most of my posts start that way, don't they? They do! I always say, "So." That's always my first paragraph. Well, most of the time.
I just came home from piano, where Tara and I discussed my upcoming recitals and competitions. I am going to participate in the Sonatina Festival (competition), the Christmas Recital (recital), the Nineteenth Century Recital (recital), and the Baroque Festival (competition).
Anyways, I'm coming home and I see Cameron, David, Steven, and Daniel with their bikes at the first bus stop. At first, I thought What are they doing?
Girls, when you put one plus one together, it makes two. These are boys with their bikes. At a huge dip. They were at the top of the dip. And they were laughing. My second response was, They are going to kill each other! My third (and final) response was, Mom! Turn around! I want to see this!
I think they saw me laughing, though, because they never did it. They read my mind and turned to go home.
Just thought it was a fun little story of what happened to me today.
Reflections is coming up! I'm entering Tidbits. Except it will be called Silver Lining, as the topic is "Wow!" Tidbits really doesn't say "Wow!" to me.
Signing out! It's family night and we're going to Chili's with the pepper instead of the apostrophe!
The Quote of Today is getting to be very popular. Today, there are two quotes because I don't want to forget them. The first is from Robert Bloch, the second is from our own Bryce Johnson.

Quote of Today: The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on.

2nd Quote of Today: Class clowns are more successful in life.
