I just bought a domain name off of namecheap.com, so hopefully I’ll find a host soon
God, am I ever excited. Yeah, it’s not a big deal buying some domain name off of a site, but still, this is epic for me.

Today, to celebrate Canada hosting the great Olympics. Our gym teachers and other staff have been creating our own school Olympics. It’s pretty cool, like they made 8 events, the skeleton, luge, bobsleigh, curling, alpine skiing, biathlon, snowboarding, speed skating, and hockey. It was really cool, because they put matts on some rolley boards to make luge, skeleton and bobsleigh. Our gym teacher somehow constructed the curlythingymajigs out of wood. And he made ’skates’, ’skis’ and ’snowboards’ out of cut up carpet.

Of course there were countries, 48, not all of them. And like 8 kids were on one country. My country was the Czech Republic. Which apparently is pronounced ‘Check’ not ‘Says’. We didn’t get any medals but we did win, drumroll participation medals! W00T! Yeah, yeah, settle down, we rock I know. So it’s alright, you can settle down now.

But god, my ‘friends’ were just being so crazy lately.
Ever since me and Morgan started hanging around with Amanda, it’s like I don’t exist. Whatever I say is stupid or she’ll totally ignore. At least Amanda tries to be nice, but Morgan just waves her hand and I’m forgotten. She asked me what was wrong with me lately, I’m so depressed. Her caring lasted for 2 minutes, because Amanda had gotten up to go to the fountain. God forbid, Morgan had to leave too. -_-
So I hang out with Kaila, Hannah, Clare and Julie. Because at least they talk to me and they’re nice. But Morgan automatically thinks because I won’t sit with them at lunch, I’m furious with her. So she sends Amanda over to ask what is wrong. AMANDA! Jesus, she can’t even seem to talk to me anymore. Then Alex, of all people calls me a fucking bitch. And it’s like, seriously, you’re not even in this! And then when I walk away to the bathroom, near tears. Because everything, was so right, I was having fun with the Olympics, now it was all wrong.
And I’m not sure how to fix it.

Questions
1. Are you excited for the Olympics? Will you watch them?
2. What should I do now, about my friends?
3. Where should I host my new domain? Recommendations?
4. How are you?

Fire Skates

Whoaaa, I haven’t blogged in like a week.
It’s just been crrazzyyy… Well, kind of.

First of all, piano is getting harder. So that means I have to practise more, in order to stay on top of everything. To tell you the honest to goodness truth, I hate practising, it’s boring and if I have to hear the metronome tick one more time, I’m going to lose it. -_-
Being good at things come with a price.

Then I’ve been studying for math tests. It’s worth a lot of our grade, which I’m trying to get up, soo…. Yeah. A lot of that going on, but on a good note I got 38.5 out of 40 on my last test. Fingers crossed I get the same or higher on this weeks

Lastly, it was my birthday! On February 6^th it twas me. And I wanna thank everyone on Twitter for wishing me happy birthday!

Every birthday my mom will always asks me if I feel any older on my birthday. But honestly I don’t, no one does. It happens gradually, I think, like not right on one particular day you wake up and you feel older. But like everyday of the year, you learn new things, have new experiences, meet new people, ect.. That makes you older, not some silly day.
But I must admit, gifts are always nice.

The party was crazy fun! We decided to go skating early, since literally everyone arrived at the same time. We checked the ice by walking across it in our boots, then we went back to the skates. Got them on, then skated across the lake. When we got home, we were so cold and tired we ate supper and went upstairs to watch a movie. We watched (500) Days of Summer, it was a cute movie, but ehh, a little boring.

The next day, Morgan’s mom made a fire on the ice! it was insane, they like started a fire on the ice and we all thought it was going to melt. But all it did was make the ice around it a little wet but still strong as ever. But we still were all a little wary of sitting next to it.
I forgot how much I loved skating, me and Hannah, who were both in figure skating at one point were like doing cross cuts and trying (and failing) fancy turns.

Questions
1. Did you ever heard/see (500) Days of Summer? Did you like it?
2. Do you like skating?
3. How are you?

Zesty Time

celest.xx@hotmail.com (nightlight.myfacade.org) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 21:56:00 +0000

I got the last book to the series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians. So far it’s good, I like it.

My birthday is coming up soon. Will you buy me gifts, hope so. Nahh, it’s okay if you don’t. But I’m pretty excited, me and mah friend Morgan. That name you often hear. Well, her birthday is on the 8^th of February. And mine’s on the 6^th, so two days apart and we decided to have a joint party. Well more like, two in one party. I don’t like the name joint, it sounds like we are joined at the hip at birth or somethin. But Two in One. Now that sounds like a zesty shampoo.
And we’re both zesty.

We’re planning to do a sleepover thingmabob, then skate on her pond. Which is pretty darn cool, since it just rained. So it’s supposed to be really smooth.

I have been sooo lazy lately. I’m not kidding you, all I do is blog. Which I feel bad about, like all the content is in the dumps. I’ve updated literally nothing since like November. Gahh, I feel bad. I took the whole writing section out because I seriously was not happy with any of it. I tried to write new articles. But my mind is blank.

Inspiration.. c’mon, anytime now…

Questions
1. Circumference = diameter x ?
2. Whatcha up too?
3. If a monkey popped up behind you right now, what would you do?
4. When’s your birthday? :)

I Don't Think You Get It

celest.xx@hotmail.com (nightlight.myfacade.org) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 22:53:00 +0000

I hate when people copy off me, like take my answers on tests or copy my painting in art class. It pisses me off so much and especially when it’s the same person over and over and over.

Like, there’s this girl in my class, and she is actually fun. Like I love talking to her and hanging out with her and it doesn’t hurt that she likes horseback riding too. So we normally sit beside each other in class and when I don’t, she’ll sit beside me. I don’t mind most of the time, it’s fun to whisper to someone how bored you are.

But when we do tests, she’ll ask me what answer did I put for #7? Or she’ll peek over when she believes I’m not looking. When I asked her about it, she said “Oh Kaela you know I’m not smart like you”
Which I thought was pretty nice right? She called me smart, so I walk away then a lightbulb flashed. I realized she admitted to cheating.

Then in art class, we were making this picture. BE CREATIVE! The teacher had said, so I put on all these random lines and squiggles and whatnot. Which I actually thought about to try and make my drawing look decent. Well, my so-called friend pretty much did the exact copy. And then I told her that it looked an awful lot like mine, she got dead serious. And shook her head. Damn furious now, I turn my back on her and try to cover up my painting. Then she taps me on the shoulder saying “Look, the feet are SO different!”

Then when we went to actually paint it with colours, she painted the colours I chose. And in the same places. So it looked a lot alike, sorry I mean The Feet Are Different.
To piss me off more, tons of people commented on how lovely hers turned out.
How did you think that?
Those colours are absolutely amazing together!
The sky, it’s so realistic! Great job!

My face is turning purple with rage, but I don’t say anything. I just put my painting on the windowsill and looked at my shoes.

The point is, why can’t people be original? I mean, I know tons of web designers have been stressing this topic since the dawn of time. And repeating over and over, “Be original and don’t copy.” Well, still, people do it and copy and steal. And don’t credit where credit is due.
It’s unfair and quite stupid. How hard is it to think of you’re own idea? If Mom is correct; people love you for you. And not for you copying someone else.

I wonder why my so-called friend doesn’t understand that?

Questions
1. How do you deal with copiers/cheaters? Online/Offline?
2. How are you?

Lately, I’ve seen all these girls in my class wearing these.

Only, they punch the lens out, so really their just big ‘dorky’ glasses and look well, kind of retarded.

First of all, they’re not sunglasses or plain glasses they’re are 3D GLASSES. Things you wear in the fucking movie theatre.
Second of all, it’s not cool, it’s barely a trend. You do not look cool wearing them.

Then my friend Morgan of all people. Morgan, my sledding/skiing buddy, who always yells at me for wearing Emus(boots). Thinking I’m just like the rest of them, wearing some skinny jeans and emus. And thinks I’m following a trend when I wear a lulu lemon headband with a pony tail. SHE comes out of one of her classes wearing those idiotic glasses. And I’m quite shocked. Thinking hypocrite, much??
I asked her why she’s wearing them. And she’s like, “Oh Cara brought them to school today and Amanda was wearing them, plus they look so GREAT!”

Hmmph, crosses arms, so it’s alright for her to wear those awful glasses, but it’s not alright for me to wear fucking comfy (and so very warm) boots.

Plus, I tried those glasses months before any other those other girls did, and they do not appeal to me. When I look sideways, all I see is a black rim.. Not exactly good for someone who’s clumsy.

Questions
1. Do you follow trends? Do they bug you?
2. Some trends can be ridiculous? True or False?
3. How are you? What have you been up too?

Currently, I journal.

Well, actually I didn’t up do it at all up until middish 2008. I did journal a bit in grade 1, but that was only because it was an assignment thing. It was to ‘help’ us learn to retell stories and such. The writing is hideously large and sloppy but still, I keep it because I think it’s so cute.

When I first started writing stuff down, there were large gaps in the dates, because I constantly forgot to write. But after awhile I got in the habit of it and it was kind of like a blog, since I didn’t blog that much back then.

I found a couple of them today, they were really funny to read actually. They were all:
“HIS HAIR WAS LYK DIS, SO HAWT”
And I drew a sloppy picture of a horrible haircut.

And:
“SHE A BETCH, FUKING HATE HER”

Lmaoo, I talked code and secret messages. But they’re me, well me almost two years ago. I was pretty annoying and would probably not want to be friends with me, xP Tells you about how much I’ve changed.

I don’t know how it happened, I didn’t think I was anything different. But reading old diaries tells me otherwise. I no longer “talk” like that in my diaries or online. I don’t use as much swearing at people, who did minor things to me. I don’t really “hate” my mom’s guts, sometimes she annoys me. (Okay, a lot, she just nags and nags and blah and et cetera.)

Parents mean well though and so I guess it’s alright. And I meant well two years ago too, I guess I just needed to grow a bit more. Who knows, maybe now too, I’ll grow more.
Bit by bit.

Questions
1. Did/Do you journal?
2. How are you?
3. What ya up too? x)

Did you guys hear about what happened in Haiti? They had an earthquake and it’s pretty bad over there. Lots of people here are raising money and trying to send over stuff. Like, my school is having a donation thing. Where whatever donation our school makes, the home and school foundation will match it. So I think that was pretty nice.
I wish people in Haiti well.

I was talking to Morgan on the phone and she showed me how to change my little cursor. I changed it to this hand thing that has a white glove on and a blue sleeve. And when my page loads, a little brown horse runs. I think this is so cute.

HOLY! A big bulk of snow just fell off my roof and made this really big thunk. LOL, okay I know it’s not that scary, but I wasn’t expecting it.

The snow was kind of like that when I was little. It was heavy and packed and perfect for sledding AND building snowman. So I head out, bundled up tightly because mom won’t let me outside without all my snowgear on. Summer, my new little puppy, comes out too, she’s so small, she’s not even a year yet.

She runs out onto the lawn. And PLUNK. Falls right down into the snow. I wondered how, since she was practically was a feather. Summer crawls out and tries to walk across the snow without falling into the snow again. She fails rather miserably.

I call her to come sledding with me. I sit down in my flying saucer and sit criss cross applesauce. Just my 1^st grade teacher tells me to do during story time. And Summer wiggles onto my lap and we go down hill. The world is a blur and I can tell Summer is smiling.
Cause, you know, dogs do smile.

We both were smiling that day and pretty much almost every day after that. Sledding and snowman making were our thing to do in the winter.

Questions
1. Have you heard about Haiti?
2. Does snow falling sometimes scare you?
3. What have you been up to lately?

Never Again

celest.xx@hotmail.com (nightlight.myfacade.org) — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 13:33:00 +0000

I’m not sure why, but it seems rather warm for January in Canada. Like I know that is supposed to be a good thing, it’s just so odd.
I think the weather is going funny.

Again, I finished all of my homework early, which is really REALLY good. Never two weeks in a row have I done this. And to top it off, I actually practised piano. Just like I said in my New Year’s resolution. So I think this year will turn out all right.

Yesterday I felt like riding my bike actually. But it’s kind of cold and I would probably kill myself with all the ice on my road. But that just made me remember the first time I actually rode a two wheeler bike.

I was 4 and my stepsisters were always biking off with their stupid friends. And I would want to go with them, but my training wheels honestly did not cooperate. They always made me lean to one side, there for me falling over and scraping my knees. Never catching up to my stepsisters.

I’m curious and I badly wanted to be able to play with my stepsisters. So I got my Grandfather to take off the training wheels. I practised at my mom’s and rode down the private road. Which was asphalt. Long green grass crowded the ditches so if I couldn’t stop or something went wrong, violently turn into the ditches and I’d be fine.

I practised every day with my mom holding onto the seat and everyday reminding me to push backwards to stop, and every day I fell into the ditch. Cried and screamed ‘I AM NEVER DOING IT AGAIN’ Over and over, I did this for a long time.
Then one day it clicked, I could keep my balance and I could brake all by myself. And I was riding circles around everyone.
I caught up with my stepsisters in the end.

Questions
1. Have you ever ridden a two wheeled bike? How did you learn?
2. Stuck to your resolutions so far (if you have any?)
3. What’s the weather like for you?
4. What are you up too?

Fun

celest.xx@hotmail.com (nightlight.myfacade.org) — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 18:00:00 +0000

I made a new layout! I was really getting sick of a floating horse head. I’m not sure if this is any better, but I think it’s rather cute. And by the way, it’s not a potato and a paper bag standing together. It’s a cookie and juicebox. Cos, ermm, yeah, just in case you were confused ;)

Ahh, I had a science test today. Which surprisingly went well. And I must thank Becc for trying to help me, but I fail. xP
Fingers crossed I did well.

I read The House Of Scorpion, it was really good and I really do reccomend it to you. Like, the beginning I will admit was rather boring. But the rest was fine.

There’s this guy in my class who read The House of Scorpion in a day. And the book is freaking 350 some pages with teeny print and he’s all. “Oh yeah, that’s just me” It took me a fucking month! (Yeshh, I’m very slow at reading when I can’t get into it. Or just laziness)

That’s some things I don’t get. Like some kids are good at some things and suck at others. Like I am better at writing then at math. Like, I mean if we were all the same. Then there wouldn’t be much jealousy in the world and it would be peaceful…

But, damn it would be dull and boring. Like, your life would be planned out perfectly. And you’d know what you can do and you wouldn’t get to experience other amazing things. And it just wouldn’t be any fun. Your life needs to have some fun in it, and it needs to have surprises. And life needs to unexpected and new.

Dare yourself. x)

The Roads are Rough, This I Know

celest.xx@hotmail.com (nightlight.myfacade.org) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 16:29:00 +0000

I am really happy right now, since:
A) I am completely done all of my homework that’s not due until Wednesday. Which is really good for me since normally I do it last minute! ;)
B) We got a DESK for our laptop and new printer..

For Christmas I got a printer for the upstairs laptop, since the only other printer in the house is the one downstairs which is connected to dial-up. And now, I don’t have to wait an hour to do five minute research on a five minute paper! And plus, it is just really cool to have a desk.

This weekend, I went SKIING! jumps up and down My friend Morgan had some extra skis and invited me to come with her. So yeah, using the money I mentioned about in my last blog, we piled into the car and drove to her cottage by the ski hill.
Her ‘cottage’ is seriously not a cottage. It’s like a really small, yet somehow fancy house. And it’s got running water and you can shower and the floors aren’t disgusting. cough Like mine is. cough It’s actually a really cute home.

Morgan’s been snowboarding for like 5 years and me been skiing like none. So we we’re on the bunny hill a lot. But then I braved the bigger hills. They still technically counted as the easiest ones on the slopes but HEY! I went on the chair lift and anything that involved me using the chair lift was a goddamned big hill. SO THERE!

The hills, (not ones I went on) kind of looks like this, not entirely, but I think like this.

It’s so funny when I fall though, Morgan hasn’t skiied much. And so she tries to help me up like a snowboarder, which hurts, since I’m not sure if anyone can bend that way. So I kind of sit there and end up just taking off the skis.

Questions
1. Do you like dial-up?
2. Are you good with being on time with homework or do you wait until last minute like me?
3. What have you been up too lately?

I went sledding today and it was exhilarating!
It was actually funny, Morgan’s mom actually invited me over. I called Morgan’s house and her mom picked up and asked me if I wanted to come over. So I did, I love how they treat me like family, haha. XD

When I got there I had this Boston Cream Cake thing, and it was really good. But all this frosting got on my braces and just ew. Braces ruined my first experience with Boston Cream Cake (N)

There’s like this trail behind her house and then there’s very large hill. That’s not really entirely steep but it’s hell to walk up. And with all the fucking snow gear, it weighs you down. By. Well. A lot. I went last, cause everyone knows you get more of a trail to go on if you go last. And pretty much still failed, cause I hit a bump and face planted into the snow. Yeah, fun, huh?
We ended up just going on a smaller hill, or as we called it “The Ditch” it’s steeper and less likely to kill our legs if we go on it.

I really love sledding, like I know it’s probably pretty juvenile for my age, but damn I’ll still be sledding when I’m 40. Cause really, it’s so fun, to go down that steep hill. You’re hair flying and the world is just flying
past. It’s so fast it’s a blur.
Kinda like life.

We actually spent like 3 hours our there, between all the walking and actually hopping on the sled and getting down. So today was a good day.

Even better, she called and she’s going up to the ski hill this weekend and asked if I wanted to come. She said she could lend me her old skis and downnn we go. Although it is $60 for the pass. Which is really expensive.
Ahh, oh well. I really didn’t have anything big planned with it anyway.

Questions
1. Do/Did you like sledding?
2. Did you go back to school yet? Do you like it?
3. Have you ever went skiing before? Did you like it?
4. How are you? :)

They Were Loud and Pink

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEARS!

Haha, so how are you all? Man, I kind of left you (again). So, I’ll tell you what I did while I was M.I.A.

Well, Christmas happened first of all, and I got some pretty awesome stuff. IPod Touch, so that was really cool. And let me have some internet access at my dads since there was a pretty crappy computer there. And some new boots, new skates :), CD’s, gift certificates to Chapters/Coles. And some other little trinkety horse stuff.

Wow, okay, that was boring. But I assure you, not all through the week was boring. I think.
After I opened gifts at my mom’s I went to my dad’s. And opened gifts there. It seemed kinda strange to not have Coconut there(my cat) but that’s okay. Life moves on, I guess. And my stepsisters, dad and stepmom liked their gifts and I felt pretty good about that.

One day I went to the movies with my stepmom, we went to see that new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie, because it was pretty much the only comedy there at the theatre. And all the other ‘comedies’, we both strongly disliked the actors/actresses in it.
It was a good movie, funny. The little chipmunks and the songs were just adorable. And I still love Theodore, I mean how can you not love this face?

And then another day we went to my cousin’s birthday, which is really close to Christmas. December 27^th. Which I kind of feel bad for her, because I heard my aunt and stepmom talking saying she didn’t get a lot of gifts, since she just got Christmas gifts.
Which I find a little sad, I mean I hate overlapping gifts. Like think about it, if they’re birthday were on any other day of the year, they would get double gifts. Just because it’s close to Christmas, they still deserve it. It’s their birthday.

Then on New Year’s, we watched the Day After Tomorrow, and then like right on 11:59. My dad switched it over to the countdown and me and my stepmom counted with them. While my dad smirked at it all… apparently to cool for that.

When they reached ONE, the fireworks went off.

Questions
1. How was your Christmas and New Years?
2. What do you think of Theodore?
3. What do you think of overlapping gifts?
4. What did you get for Christmas?

IT’S CHRISTMAS EVE!!
As you can see I’m a little excited.

I don’t know, but however old I’ll ever get, it’s just I love Christmas time, Christmas Eve, Christ Day.. it’s so surprising. And even with no Santa it still feels magical. I dunno, I just love it a lot.

I love the getting new gifts and the wrapping paper flying everywhere. And my mom and/or stepmom trying desperately to tell everyone to settle down a bit, so the cleanup is easier. All the while knowing that’s impossible. Because, jeez, we’re excited to know what we got. Goddamit, we don’t care how much mess we make.
I like seeing everyone’s faces too, when they open my the gifts I gave.

At my dad’s, when my stepsister, Paige didn’t go to college yet. She used to get everyone up at 5am.
I remember one year when I was about 6, it was really dark out. And I woke up, looked at the clock and realized it was too early and was just about to go back to sleep. When Paige opens the door.

“Kaela, psst….you awake?”
I rub my eyes and nod.
“Kay, can you go and wake up mom and your dad?”

I get out of bed and I walk over to their room. I peek my head in the door and whisper. “It’s Christmas,” They groan but get up, while Paige shoots over to the living room. And my other two stepsisters are there too, like they’ve been waiting.

That’s the way it was, always get the youngest to wake up the parents, because then they’re less likely to get mad if we get them up at 5am.

And at my mom’s, I just go out to the tree and make a lot of thumping noises, thus waking my mom and stepdad up.

I’m going to be at my Dad’s until the new year! So like January 1^st I’ll be back! Have loads of fun, guys! But I made you this!

Questions
1. When you open gifts, do you unwrap it carefully or rip everything apart?
2. Do you get up early on celebrations?
3. What are you going to do with the rest of your Christmas Vacation?

My Best Friend

celest.xx@hotmail.com (nightlight.myfacade.org) — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 15:27:00 +0000

When I was younger I had a friend named Ryanne. (Which by the way, Mrs. Westhaver, that is how you spell her name!) And I knew her since I was 13 months old, since her mom and my mom worked in the same building. So they’d always let us play together. I’d go over to her house and her over to mine. She always got into some mischief and I’d usually do whatever with her.
We sometimes played with her brother, but mostly we ended up playing with Barbies.

When we went to daycare it was so funny.
She would always try to play a prank on the teachers, or do something to the teachers. Hit/punch/bite. Sometimes to other kids too.
But we were always the best of friends.

I rode a two wheeler bike before her, and she got pretty mad at me. She told me, that I was just joking and so I showed her. She looked like she was about to cry, but to save her pride. She told me babies could do that, it took a lot of courage to ride with training wheels.
Which I couldn’t deny, since I hated training wheels, they always made me lean to one side.

Then one time at daycare, we were playing in the “sandbox”. Which is basically a normal sandbox, only it has legs and is smackdab in the center of our coatroom. It wasn’t even filled with sand, it was filled with rice. I was playing with my favourite plastic dinosaur, which reminded me of Little Foot from the Land Before Time. Which was a movie that just came out. And some boys in our daycare came up and pushed me out of the way. Grabbed my favourite dinosaur and was about to throw sand in my face, when Ryanne came up and pushed all three of them. (She was taller and much stronger) And then she told me that if I really liked the dinosaur then I had to take it home and hide it. ‘Cause those boys are going to get meaner and meaner.
I still have it.

When my mom decided that she was going to go live with my very-soon-to-be-stepdad. She didn’t really ask me, just said that we were moving.
“Am I going to see Ryanne at daycare?” I’d always ask.
But she never answer.

When I told Ryanne I was moving she shrugged and just kept on swinging on the swing. Our other friend Emma, cried and said she didn’t want me to leave. Ryanne called her a baby for crying.
And for those last couple of weeks before the move, Ryanne was mean as ever. This time pushing me and calling me a baby for doing nothing at all.

On my last day of daycare, I told Ryanne I may not see her much anymore. And then she looked like she was about to cry. She told me she was mean because she didn’t want me to leave and thought maybe I’d stay if she did that.
I shrugged.

That all happened before I turned five.

It Always Looks Better When It's Upside Down

Well, I kinda left you all in the midst of confusion. Or in a less poetic way, I’ve been forgetful.
I told you I’d write Sunday, Monday the latest. But boy things have been really hectic. Like I got back from my Dad’s in a snowstorm. Gah, I hate snowstorms, they scare the friggin crap out of me. Especially when I’m in a teeny weeny car, no four wheel drive at hand, on yeah, the highway? Jeez, and it happened really fast too. Not really much of a warning. We had to go make some returns at the mall right? Since my mom lives the nearest to a big, well a really nice mall. So when my dad takes me home, he and my stepmom will always stop there to get good deals, new things, ect…
Just as we get out of the parking lot, it starts to flurry, okay.. not bad. Right? I start to listen to my Ipod, and I guess I dozed off or something. Because I litterly blinked and then there was a big storm outside. And my Dad was hunched over the steering wheel trying to see. While my stepmom was sitting there with a pinched expression.
Snowstorms suck.

Then on Monday, I went off to my friend, Morgan’s house. I really love going over there, it’s so fun.
We went sledding and built a snowman, which we named Fred-Joey-Johnny-Test. Since her little cousin ‘helped’ us and said we HAD to name him Johnny Test, and Morgan wanted Fred and I wanted Joey. Because his face, like it just LOOKED like Joey off of Friends. And he did have a car, well actually it was just a smaller snowball beside him, since Morgan’s little cousin kept knocking it down.
Then we played Mario Cart on her Wii. Which was AWESOME! I mean, it’s so fun getting to go fast and beat other people. I was usually in 12^th place… but I did get up to 2^nd once!
I was playing her five year old cousin… but whatever.

Then today, I got 15$! I would’ve gotten 20$, but I spent it on Blistex… HEY! It was 5$ but it has SPF15, protects from sunburn and dry lips. It’s also lemon and I like lemon. XD
I got it from helping my mom out with her staff party. See, she works at Superstore and works up in the room where they throw birthdays, meetings, orientations, and staff parties. Mainly, their just extra food on break and some games. They had some pretty awesome prizes too. Well, one awesome prize. An LG Rumour! Free, plan not included. But still, pretty awesome.

Questions
1. Do you like snowstorms?
2. Have you ever played Mario Cart on the Wii?
3. What have you been up too?

Still There

Just so you know, I am here! Just kind of busy and been neglecting and scrambling to fit everything in when school just closed.

It did close by the way, until January 4^th, 2010 anyway! But god, I’m so happy. I’m finally free of everything! Homework, teachers, homework, work…. basically I’m happy to be stressfree and totally nothing on my plate.

Speaking of plate, mine consists of my buddy, Campbell’s soup, Activia Vanilla Yogurt, Chocolate pudding, water, and milk. Nothing sugary, nothing hard, nothing gooey, pretty much liquid is my diet now. Thanks to braces. Yeah, you got that right, I have purple and turquoise tin in my mouth now. So yeah, go on and make some jokes… but they’re still there.

I’m going to my Dad’s till Sunday, or Monday… whatever the weather is like. Since I may not be able to get or something on Sunday. Since there may be a storm… we’re not sure. So when I get back, I’ll write a real blog. I might be on Twitter, MSN, ect… if the computer decides to cooperate with me. It for some reason likes my dad, chooses to work with him, with me. It will crash and make beeping sounds.
Hallelujah!

And I Want to Break You

I changed the layout. The narrowness was driving me insane. And yes, everything is drawn by me.
So, what do you think?

My piano recital was cancelled and actually I’m pretty relieved. Since like, I wasn’t exactly big on going to it, I dislike them. All the other people stare at me. I’m kind of sad I don’t get to show everyone my mad memorizing skills, but eh. It’s fine.

I finished Winn-Dixie, it was good. I liked it.
I bought the book Burned by Ellen Hopkins. So far I like the book, some of it is a little funny. Like not many books I read are so blunt about the religion and about the other mature matters. But I think it stands out the way Ellen writes it. I’m not done yet, halfway through. So I’ll let you know on what I find out.

I wrapped up some things this morning, and while I was wrapping my Dad’s coffee cup, I realized that there was a sticker at the bottom. I hate having the price tag sticker on my gifts, so I always take them off mine.
‘Cept I suck at taking stickers off and I spent practically an hour wrestling to get it off. And when I did it looked horrid. I’m not kidding you, there was this sticky leftover on it. Ughh, I would not give this to anyone.
So I decided to paint over it. The cup is white, so damn, how hard can it be get some white paint and paint it over. When it dried, I thought, how about I write Christmas ‘09 on it? To personalize it. So I get some black paint and paint over it. God, it looks terrible, better paint it over. So again I get the white paint and paint paint paint.

It’s dries and looky looky. It’s GRAY! Damn’t, me being frustrated by now, I furiously scratch off this wretched paint. And throw all it’s remains in the trash. I am about to break the coffee cup when I realize all remains of the sticker are gone.
At last, so I quickly stuff and roll it in tissue paper. Then I put it in a Christmas bag and throw some tissue paper on top. Because after all of that, I honestly didn’t feel like wrapping anything else.
But, I think I’ll get him something else next year. >.<

It’s also Taylor Swift’s 20^th birthday today! (L)

Questions
1. Thoughts on the new layout?
2. What is something that drives you insane.
3. What did you get your Dad/Mom/Uncle/Aunt/Cousin/Sister/Brother/Friend for Christmas?

Shop Till You Drop

celest.xx@hotmail.com (nightlight.myfacade.org) — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 15:17:00 +0000

My friends and I went shopping today. Y’know, nearing Christmas we betta get our presents.
The first thing we did was walk up the down escalator. Since we were bottom floor and c’mon nothing amazing is there. So I noticed all these stores and we went everywhere. We went to The Body Shop and spent like half an hour there smelling everything. Then testing it out. Deciding which one is the best and deciding to get it. I got two bottles of body mist, one water lily thingmajiggy, and some shower gloves. You can put on in the shower and it will exfoliate your skin. How cool is that?! So I got those things and divided it up along my two stepsisters.
And since I spent over 40$ or something (jeez, the body mist was expensive) I got a free cranberry exfoliating gel thing. You don’t get many free things that are actually useful. So I’m giving it to my stepmom.
Then we went to all these other stores that were useless. Nothing, absolute nadda, not even a freaking clearance anywhere. Like, people. Helllooooooo?? It’s Christmas, please, people WANT SALES! Well, that’s not true, people always want sales. But that’s besides the point. >.<
I found this freaking awesome bag at American Eagle though. Like I’m not kidding you, it was AMAZING! And it actually was on clearance, so… that was even better. I got that for my other stepsister. Even if I liked it a lot.

When we finally finished everything, we were exhausted. Really, I think we shed ten pounds, doing all the running around. Holding the bags and all that stuff. Seriously, I think shopping should be an extreme sport. With heavy ceramics in your shopping bags. And you have to go through three floors… on stairs. That would be interesting.

I’m reading Because of Winn-Dixie. Like I saw the movie and I could probably read something better with my time. But anyhow, it’s really sweet. It’s short, like big print small book, but really. I recommend it.

Questions
1. Did you get your Christmas gifts yet?
2. Have you ever heard of the book, Because of Winn-Dixie?
3. What did you do today?

I'm Shocked

celest.xx@hotmail.com (nightlight.myfacade.org) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:31:00 +0000

We did the Winter Concert on Tuesday and the songs went fairly well. We screwed up on some notes and it wasn’t that noticeable. I think.
Oh yeah and that squeaky flute in front row? Yeah, the really awesome squeaky one? The one who closed the curtain at the end and was GENIUS at it? Yeah, that was me.

So if you haven’t noticed (or have), I deleted the affiliates on the sidebar. (SORRY!) I just kind of feel like they don’t ever really talk to me and all that shizz. I don’t know if I want to have more affiliates even, the whole thing seems kind of mumbo gumbo.
I dunno, the whole idea of it is evolving and making it all link exchangy on me.

When I was little, well younger. There was a show called Hamtaro. It’s a show about a hamster who talks and teaches you teamwork and is as cute as a button.
So I bought a Gameboy Advance and got some Hamtaro games to play. It was actually pretty fun since like you got the MAIN character. And use all those fancy smancy little buttons to be EXACTLY like the show. I loved playing those games and once I beat the whole thing, I was pretty sad since that was the end of me playing it.
There was this guy at my school who was sitting in a corner. And playing a Gameboy and I was like. Holy crap, people still buy those. So I went over to see what he was playing, well whoop-dee-dingle-doo. He’s playing Hamtaro! He really sucked at it and I showed him the right way to Tack-Q something. But still, it was funny. Since we’re older now and yet someone still plays it.

Last night while I was asleep it SNOWED HEAPS! I’m not kidding you, there was it almost up to my calves WHILE standing on the doorway. And I was so excited. Since like I wanna make a snowman y’know? Nuh-uh it’s not stupid either. Since my snow is decked out. He gets a sweet car sitting beside him. No, no, no, scarves and hats just won’t do. He gets sunglasses and bling. But then usually it melts and my sunglasses and necklace are wet and slushy. But still, he’s awesome while he lasts.
And I would’ve had a picture of my awesome man, but before I could even make him. The snow had melted and it glowed bright green grass. Puke Who wants that in the middle of December?

Speaking of mid-December, it’s 5 more days. And then it’s braces time! Oh the joy. XD
