Uh....Steve the Beanbag. Yeah.

Holy Yay!

2010-08-07T18:44:00.005-04:00

A comic of mine. xD

I watched [manga] drawing videos at my mamaw and papaw's house today! It was awesome because the artist used techniques that I hadn't really seen before, so it was really helpful to me. However, it's kind of a long process with all the guidelines. But it would be well worth it! Mike Crilley (the artist guy) draws like it's nothing. Maybe you should look up some of his work? :)

He uses a kneaded eraser when he's finished to erase all of the unneeded guidelines and stuff. I. Want. One. The eraser is also called putty rubber and any eraser that is like putty would be enjoyable for anyone! xD

Math Placement Test

2010-08-04T12:58:00.003-04:00

Hello, people!

My math placement test is today, and to be honest, it's kind of nerve racking. I know it's just a placement test and nothing more, but who wants to take a MATH test? Seriously?! Math is not one of my best subjects.

There is just one little problem that I just can't seem to get over: How long will this take?
How many questions are there, and is it multiple choice, or do yo have to work your problems out?

Ugh, I wish I knew. Well, I'll find out when we get there. They will provide me with a calculator and some scrap paper, so that might be a clue that it's multiple choice. I'm just hoping it is. This better not take as long as the stupid SAT I took last year.

Dumb test.

This is Now

2010-08-03T20:26:00.002-04:00

Alright.

Ignore what's below. Ignore it. Some...No, most of that stuff is...mentally challenged. Some blog posts are good though. But I wouldn't waste your time shifting through my old posts. (Look at that! 2005! It goes back to 2005! I was 13. Just. Don't.)

I might continue to write some stuff or I might not, because most of everything is on Facebook. If it's a big situation, like my experiences at IUK, then I'll post it! :D

Check back every once in a while again, okay?

Hello

Hi.

Scary Grinch!

2008-12-03T19:58:00.003-05:00

Well, today I had a homework assignment to do in Psychology. It's due tomorrow. =D

Anyways, it was on the Grinch. Our assignment was called "Analysis of a TV Character". My teacher said that we could do movie characters too. When I was done with my paper, I wanted to put a picture of the Grinch on my paper 'cause I'm awesome like that. Then I came across a very scary picture of him!

I will forever be scarred by this picture. I will also have nightmares.

Another Early X-Mas List

2008-09-08T19:21:00.004-04:00

So....I wanted to be helpful with some people and put out my X-Mas list early so they can get their shopping done for me! ^_^ Isn't that wonderful of me?! So, here it is:

1. A Sand Village headband (I asked mom for this. It's a Naruto thing.)

2. An Akatsuki (A-cots-key) cloak (XL or bigger in men's) (Can easily be found on Ebay! I know. I checked. Again, I've aked mom for it. Oh! I could wear it on Halloween in '09! That would be awesome. Plus I could wear it into Wal*Mart or something and get stared at! =D)

3. Itachi's (Ee-Tah-chi's) Headband (I recommend you put "Itachi Headband" on Ebay, 'cause it didn't work with that -'s at the end of it. Anyways, this is to go with the cloak. Again, I could SO wear it on Halloween!! YAY!)

4. The Naruto Manga books. (I have numbers 1-7, but I still want more. I think there's over 20. Maybe over 30. I'm not sure. =\)

5. Okay....Anything Naruto!! (Yeah, 'cept all those weirdo action figures and cards. Those are ick.)

6. Anything Sand Village. (Mom already knows...)

7. Anything...Gaara! (....I would care for a plushie doll....or other things.)

8. Any video games that you would think that I'd like! (I don't really have any ideas on games, so you can do that for me. I have these things: A Nintendo Game Cube, A Gameboy Advanced, a Nintendo DS, and a PSP. There. Now go forth and browse...Please?)

9. A camera (A small digital camera that could fit in you pocket, not a big, ginormous thing.)

10. This is something you DON'T have to buy!: A Tablit (Yup. I've decided that I don't need it and I wouldn't use it very much because drawing on paper seems easier. You're welcome!)

11. iTunes cards. (I love music! ^_^)

That's about it. Now, all the Naruto stuff I put on here, I've told mom and dad about, so you'll have to talk to them about that stuff.

This is an Akatsuki cloak, I like these 'cause they'really big on you. (If you get the right size!)

What About Bob?

2008-07-29T13:50:00.004-04:00

Me and Amanda have come to like the movie What About Bob? ever since we saw it at school. It's awesome and we know that all you guys love it! So, that's why I suggest we need another What About Bob? party!

(This picture is kinda crappy, but it's the best I could find!)

Apparently, Amanda and I were little when y'all had your fist one, because I don't remember it, but Amanda does. She told me that she was lying down on the floor watching the movie at aunt Jan's. So yeah, we need another one because I wanna dress up in a trench coat and wear one of those hats. Plus, I can totally get a fake badge made of paper! Weeeeee!

Think about it! =D

Updates and GIR

2008-07-09T00:36:00.005-04:00

Well, Olivia's been gone for a LONG time now! Thought you might need some updates?? Here are some you might have questions for:

1. No. I have NOT started driving yet.

2. I haven't been doing much of anything besides returning to Summer School to help out with little kids like we always do. Some are just freakin' brats. I'll have to tell Manda to do her report on the kids like she always does, that way, y'all can have a good laugh! ^^

3. Okay, I don't care now. I'm telling you facts about what's going on with me here...in recent times...yeah.

GIR:
Okay, so, I have this little guy named GIR I've been drawing. He's awesome and haters can just leave. Right now...............You gone yet? Okay. GIR's a robot and he's popular for what he says and does on an old show called "Invader Zim". Now, I don't know if you guys have even heard of that cartoon before, but it was coolio. The network killed it. You can look it up if you want. You can also look up GIR any where and I'm sure he'll be there. To show you what he looks like, I've scanned one of my drawings for you. I didn't trace anything! Seriously. I just looked at the picture I wanted and tried to copy it as best as I could free-handed. These are my results:

Ain't he cute?!?!?!? He's in his little doggie outfit that he wears. I'll put my Robot GIR on here some time. OH YEAH!!! Here are some of the things he's said:

1. Zim(basically GIR's owner, whose an alien): It's been a pleasure working with you GIR. Now, self-destruct.

GIR: FINALLY!!! *laughs* *blows up*

2. Zim: Why is there bacon in the soap?!

GIR: IIII~ Made it myself!!

3. Zim: GIR! Be quiet! Do you wanna wake up the whole planet?!

GIR: ...I do...*innocent*

4. GIR: I'm gonna sing the Doom Song now! *repeats the word "Doom" over and over for 6 months*

5. Zim: GIR! Clean up this mess!

GIR: Nooooooo!!! Okay!! *gets a broom*

Well, that's just a little bit of GIR's craziness. Do you see why I like him?!

Hitler =)

2008-05-27T08:32:00.007-04:00

2008-05-12T07:43:00.004-04:00

OMB!

(Oh My Buddah!)

I know what I want for Christmas!!

http://www.wacom.com/bambootablet/bamboo.cfm

Dude! I love to draw and stuff, so getting to draw on the computer and then sharing it with the world would be amazing! It's only $79.99!!!.....I think. Maybe it costs more?

I must have it.....

Save up your money.....

Give me.....

Please?

Moshi Monsters

2008-05-08T07:44:00.005-04:00

Thank you, Sarah! This game is fun! You requested that this is something at school that I could do because I was bored. Well, I couldn't do it because you had to buy something first. For you other people, Moshi Monsters is a place where you can adopt your very own monster and take care of it. Right now there are 6 types of monsters you can choose. To take care of your monster, you have to pet it, tickle it, and feed it of course. You can also decorate your home with different types of furniture you can buy at stores. Moshi Monsters is open to now anyone! I adopted one recently and so did TapeEar! (I think she gets on it more than I do.) I think Ari and Ian could even do this because it's so simple. All of you should adopt one so I can have friends. Thank you.

There's a link on the sidebar ---------->

These are all the different types of monsters.

The Zoo

2008-04-28T07:22:00.010-04:00

The zoo was AWESOME! Good news about the weather was that it didn't rain. The bad news is that it was really, really hot and I wish it did rain! People were with other people, lugging around a camera for each group. I was partnered with Elizabeth, a deaf girl. Now, you're probably wondering how I communicated with her. She reads lips. She's really nice and friendly. In fact, I don't think I would've liked being paired up with anyone else besides her. We got pictures of lots of animals, and not just our assigned ones.

This is Elizabeth with me sitting next to her on the bus. I guess I was tuning out all the noise.

We looked at the water animals first because they were right in front of the entrance and my polar bear was sure to be in there somewhere. There were seals, sharks(little ones), seahorses, fish of all kinds, penguins, and jellyfish which were really neat to watch float around. Even though all of these animals were behind glass, I got some good pictures. The jellyfish pictures are cool. After looking around and petting a couple of sharks, I still didn't see any polar bears. Then after leaving the penguin area, I saw her(the zoo guy said it was a she). A single polar bear swimming around and around. The zoo guy also said that she was the oldest living polar bear in captivity! I got a couple of pictures of her inside behind the glass and then we went outside to see if she would come up out of the water. She never did. Plus, she was the ONLY polar bear there, so I only got pictures of her swimming around because that's all she did the whole time we were there!

This is all I pretty much got. Not good.

Here's a Jellyfish.

The Awesome Meerkats we saw.

This snake was HUGE! It looked like it had just eaten 4 or more mice!

These sharks you could pet. They were smooth to me, but Elizabeth said that it felt rough.

Here's the snake with the dead mouse. (Yummy)

That's a seal. They were even cuter out of the water.

These Rinos wouldn't move. How lazy......Maybe they were asleep??

When I find the time, I'll post more pictures.

P.S. We got McDonalds!!! Woo! (I had to pay for my own though.)

2008-04-21T07:13:00.002-04:00

I go to the zoo this Friday!!!!

That means I will finally have to catch my lovely polar bear on film....well, on memory card. =)

Too bad there's supposed to be scattered T-storms on Friday.

T_T

2008-04-14T07:31:00.007-04:00

The Challenge that I was sent to do is now complete......ok no it's not, but here's a funny one just for the heck of it (It's the 6 words thing.):

"I'm too Lazy to do this."

Okay, so I didn't take the picture, but that is better, 'cause it really shows the LAZYNESS! =)

Anyways, while I was looking for a pic on the internet, I found some funny pictures as well as Amanda:

A hair bra!

That's about it for me!

2008-04-03T07:34:00.017-04:00

Just thought I'd share some pictures I've taken in Digital Photography class:

Okay. These are some that I've taken recently and last semester. The ones with the girl are from last semester and so are my glasses in a plant. The rest I took this semester.

I Hate Oprah

2008-03-31T07:11:00.003-04:00

Yeah, so what?! I just hate that fat creature!!! I was watching a Kathy Griffin stand-up thingy, and she said that when she was on Oprah, Oprah has this tone in her voice that makes her be Superior and you feel like a slave or something. YEAH! Ever since then I've put a little hatred to the "kind" woman. All that changed dramatically when my mom, EnN2sp, said that one of her friends was supposed to be on Oprah or something, and when my mom's friend was there, she said that Oprah was just plain rude and mean! She said that Oprah was talking about people, and that her TV job is just a persona. That's not who she really is on TV at all!!! (Mom's friend was never on Oprah. )

ABOUT THE BIG GIVE:

Did you hear on the news that a woman was suing Oprah because "The Big Give" was her idea?? Well yeah, it happened. Guess what! I believe that Oprah stole the idea!! I really do! So Oprah can go suck pigs for the rest of her life! I bet if she saw what I put here on my blog, she would be like: "Oh no she didn't!!" So....Imma boycot Oprah now, 'cause that fatty is mean!

P.S. Oprah could die tomorrow and I wouldn't care.

Billy In Despair >=)

2008-03-25T21:37:00.004-04:00

Awesome flippin' song that's in Japanese! Yeah...most of you won't like it. The chorus is the bestest part! Woo!
WARNING: Devilish. Not to be heard by people who don't like screaming, especially the elderly.

It's just the song peoples. I like it and I want it! Dame(Give me)!! The person who made this needed movement. Yeah. Kinda boring without it.

My B-Day List

2008-03-19T21:30:00.006-04:00

Okay, so my birthday is coming up soon. I'm gonna be 16. Yeah. I don't really care. YUP!!! Anyways, here's my Birthday List:

1. Before I start this thingy, you can refer back to my X-mas list I put on here way back in October of '07. There's a little tip for ya! If you're too lazy to do that, then don't worry! I'm pretty lazy myself, so I'll put some of the things from my X-mas list on my B-day list. =)

2. Okay, mom and dad gave me the choice of either getting more games for my new DS, or a PSP. That's freakin' hard. It's like they're asking me to decide between the computer or the television. That's carp, man. Just crap. I still have no idea. =/

3. MOVIE TICKETS!!!! Yeah. I like them things! (We might go see Horton Hears a Who on Friday thanks to Aunt Jill and Uncle Roy!)

4. Phone cards! Them things are great because it keeps meh phone alive! You don't want it to die and then get flushed down the toilet, do you?!

5. Uh...Some toasty iTunes cards. I can only buy one more song at the moment. ;-;

6. Club Penguin cards would be nice as well. I don't care what amount, just as long as it will extend my membership!

7. One word peeps: NARUTO. There. Now go hunt for things. It can be clothing, games, or just any random Naruto items. That includes the Manga too! I have 1-4. Manga is the comics. They can be found at Books-A-Million easily!(Remember!: The action figures and cards are still icky!) ((HINT: My favorite character is Gaara. Look him up or something and find stuff that's related to him in anyway. P.S. He's scary lookin'. Small children shouldn't see!)

8. Shoes are okay. Vans please! =D

9. Oh yeah! Hoodies! I almost forgot about those puppies!

10. Jackets. Those black ones...That are fabricated. No swishy swishy sound should come out of it!

11. Okay, a camera. The digital kind! I don't want no throw away camera! Phew! (WARNING: The stuff below might be expensive!)

12. Laptop. Yeah, just because. I really would be happy without one, but I figured that you needed some item ideas.

That's all I can think of so far. Come back often to see if I've put anything new on THIS list!!

2008-03-16T17:22:00.003-04:00

Wanna know how the Ivy Tech thingy went?!?!?!?!? =D

IT SUCKED BIG TIME!!!!! >=(

Okay. First sign of this being bad was that Me, Rachael, and Amanda got seperated from the people from our school, and had to sit by these 3 Mexican guys. Now, you would probably think that it was a good thing, but it wasn't at all!!!! They spoke Spanish, but they understood English too!! So, we couldn't figure out what they were saying, but they could understand what we were saying. (SUCKISH!) Then, we could tell that they were sorta making fun of us in a way. You know that feeling, right? When everyone is laughing at something besides you. Yeah. They were rude. I didn't even eat the breakfast the Ivy Tech people offered because I didn't wanna get made fun of more, ya know? This whole time I'm cursin' up a storm in my head, and trying my best not to kill these guys. Then it was time for some BINGO. Oh joy, like that would make things better. After someone won the BINGO, it was time for guest speaker. She spoke in Spanish first, and then in Engish. That was boring. Oh yeah. We all were supposed to wear name tags, and they had 3 different types colors: Red, blue, and green. Me and Amanda had red name tags, but Rachael had a blue one. We would've gotten all the same color if we knew that we would be seperated into 3 groups based on out name tag color!!!!! >=(
That was suckish part #2. I heard one of the guys say "Chinga!" (Sorry mom!) and then I opened my mouth wide, 'cause that means the F word in Spanish. He had on a blue name tag! So that made me think that he saw Rachael's color and then cursed!! That ______!!! The good thing for Rachael was that Valeria was in her group. So we all got seperated, and went to these things called break-out sessions, which were also boring. The first break-out session that me and Amanda went to was fun because I made both of us laugh by me makin' people say and think things in this dumb book that was completely in Spanish. We would've gotten in trouble if it was school. While we were in that session, I noticed that there were a lot of hispanic preps in our group. Yay. -_-

I'll write Part 2 another time!
Thanks for feelin' my pain so far!

Sweetness!!!

2008-03-13T07:07:00.013-04:00

I started swimming this week.......However I will not get in the pool this week either!! We (or I) was supposed to swim for the first time on Friday, BUT I have a field trip on Friday. To make this even better, Amanda and Rachael will also be going. Oh yes, and possibly my other friend, Valeria (said like "Valery"). There's something similar between all 4 of us. Can you guess what it is??

Go ahead, take your time......

Here it is! Don't read it unless you don't wanna guess!

.........We are all Hispanic! =D Rachael was the first one to notice, because the first time we saw everyone who was going, Rachael said, "Are we getting deported?" It was freakin' hilarious, man. I looked around and all I saw were Hispanic people. Then I looked at the paper they gave us. Ivy Tech is having Hispanic and Latino Day on Friday.

FUN!!!!

WTH?!?!

2008-03-10T07:30:00.004-04:00

CLUB PENGUIN ISN'T BLOCKED ANYMORE!!!!!!

WEEEEIIIIIRRRDDDDD!!!!

Free Trip

2008-03-06T07:13:00.002-05:00

YAY! I am excited today! I'll give you a hint on why I'm happy:

Do you know where this is?

Because that's where I'm going today!!! That's right! The Children's Museum!! That place is so fun. No matter how old I get, this place is still awesome. Anyways, I'm going with mom and Amanda. Amanda and I will go to Sycamore(sp?) school where mom works, and then we will wait for those big, yellow buses to get here! Problem is, is that we will be sharing the bus with a bunch of noisy 3, 4, and 5-year-olds and their parents. (I think we have to clean up their mess too when we come back to Kokomo.) I don't really care about the mess-pickin'-upin', but I do care for noise. On the way back they won't be very noisy at all, 'cause they'll be sleepin'. But on the way there.....BLAH! BLAH! BLAH! I still can't wait to go though!

I am Sad

2008-03-03T07:22:00.001-05:00

Wanna know why??????

'CAUSE THOSE BLANKITY BLANKS BLOCKED CLUB PENGUIN!!! THAT'S WHY!!!!

>=(

Unexpected Freedom

2008-02-26T09:27:00.004-05:00

Okay. Yesterday we had a 2 hour delay, (YEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!) but that's not the unexpected freedom I found out!! So here's my story:

I walk into my classroom, log into the schools computer with my name, and get prepared to do the daily work. After all the morning stuff happened, I was checking my blog like this: "La La La! What's on my blog today?.......Ok Nothing! Well, what's on so-and-so's blog today?......Nothing! Ok!......" Yeah. Then I get back to my blog, and I notice something that hadn't been there before: My icons. What the heck were they doing on there?! The school's computers wouldn't show them before. I thought it was weird 'cause I got those icons from photobucket, and the school had blocked out photobucket for I don't know what reason. Then I make my way to Bo's blog. The Youtube videos he puts on there were showing up! They wouldn't pop up before either!! I pressed the play button and it actually played!! The schools blocking system is apparently having some problems. The system is still like that today, but I'm not telling any staff!

Not Standing Tall

2008-02-21T07:14:00.002-05:00

Yesterday I hurt my back pretty good in gym class. We were going to 'stations' to do different things, and everyone had a partner. (Now remember, I have "Fat Gym Class", so we do pretty easy things in there and sometimes we don't.) My partner was my cousin, Joseph. We had gotten to our 6th station, which were jump ropes. I haven't jumped rope in a LONG time, but I found myself going and going! It was sweet! The aftermath wasn't so sweet at all. My back started hurting. In the other stations, I was good, but as soon as we got back to our original station, I couldn't stand it. The teacher said that we had to be doing something at each station, so I decided to lie down and do some crunches. Well, at least I was lying down! When gym was finally over, I sat down on the floor because my back still wasn’t feeling too good. It hurt the most when I tried to get up from the floor. Oh, it hurt so much! In 3rd period (Study Hall), I felt it more, and I prayed for myself. I felt myself almost going to sleep in that class about 3 times, but I woke myself up, ‘cause I knew that I would probably snore.
When class was almost over, most of the pain seemed to go away. It didn’t. My next thing to do was lunch. Okay, so I had to stand in line, but my friend, Breezy, came up to me and cut. (It was popcorn chicken, dude! You’d probably stand in line too if that was one of the best lunches at your school!) Back to my back: It hurt at lunch too, and Breezy wanted to go get some cookies. I went. She said that she wished that she had some pain pills in her bag for me, which was nice. Later in math class, I couldn’t take the pain anymore, and I cried to myself a couple of times. I was so glad when school was over! At least I could be home and in pain, instead of being at school and in pain. Plus, I have a cold at the moment, so that makes everything suck even worse! >=(
When I got home from being at my grandma and grandpa’s house, mom told me to take a hot shower, so I did. When I got out, there was a pill waiting for me on my dresser next to a glass of Kool-aid. I took it and then I went to go lie down on the new heating pad dad bought. It also massages your back or where ever. (Yeah, that’s right! You women and you massagers think that that would be nice right now, do ya?!) Soon I went on the computer and played Club Penguin while getting off every once in a while to see that moon! During that time, I felt my back getting better. “It must’ve been the pill.” I thought. Soon it hurt again, so I went to bed with some more drugs in my system. When I woke up this morning, it hurt, so I took more drugs. Yes, I went to school. I have a quiz today, plus, I get to watch the rest of Transformers in Spanish class!

Smooth Criminal

2008-02-14T18:39:00.010-05:00

I downloaded 'Smooth Criminal' on my iPod last night. I can't stop listening to it!! No, it's not the Jackson version. A band remade it named Alien Ant Farm. They made it all alternitive and stuff, so this is my kind of song. Do you remember the lyics? ;o}

As he came into the window

Was a sound of a crescendo

He came into her apartment

He left the bloodstains

On the carpet

She was sitting at the table

He could see she was unable

So she ran into the bedroom

She was struck down

It was her doom

Annie, are you OK?

Are you OK

You’ve been hit by

You’ve been struck by

A smooth criminal

So they came into the outway

It was Sunday

What a black day

I could feel your salutation

Sounding heartbeats

Intimidations

Annie, are you OK?

You OK

Are you OK, Annie?

Annie, are you OK?

You OK

Are you OK, Annie?

Annie, are you OK?

You OK

Are you OK, Annie?

(My only question is: What's a Crescendo??)

I got Amanda listening to it. She said that she had never heard the song before. (Not even the Jackson version!) So, after everyone was litening to it at lunch today, she listened to it. We had little time left at luch, so she didn't really listen to that much of it. On the bus, I let her listen to the whole thing. She got a smile on her face when she heard the "You've been hit by- You've been struck by- A smooth criminal" Part. She still claims not hearing it before.

Hey! Lookie! I took the picture that Sarah had on her blog and I made adjustments to it using Photoshop here at school.

Now all those weirdo spots are gone!

^_^

P.S. Amanda has a new post! Finally!

2008-01-31T07:23:00.001-05:00

Okay.....
So I haven't written anything in a while 'cause I have nothing going on in my life at the moment. Yup. School is pretty much the same as its always been. So...I have nothing to say and nothing to do besides this at the moment. I'm just typing this so ya won't get bored with me, but that might've already happened in the first sentance. Yeah...Hmmm....Oh boo! I can't think of ANYTHING!
Did ya notice how I made the font bigger so it would take up some space on the page?
...
Thought so.

About my DS:

So...All of you should know that I finally got my DS this Tuesday. All I can say is that this is addicting! Even without games, 'cause there's this thing programed into the DS called Pictochat. It's like a chatroom, but with your DS. (You have to have other people with a DS to talk with you.) You can type, draw, erase, and even animate! It's very cool. Mom and Amanda has even drawed on it. This thing is freakin' awesome! If you don't have one, go and get it! You don't even have to buy a game. About my little game:

Yoshi's Island DS is also fun. I haven't stopped playing it ever since I got the DS and waited for it to charge. It might seem hard at first, but it tells you what to do and some little hints to help you do it better. Sometimes its fustrating, and I yell "Mardre!" ( Which means Mother in Spanish. *wink* =D ) Yoshi's Island DS is rated five stars....Out of five. (on the Target website. ^_^)

2008-01-18T07:54:00.000-05:00

I can do it!!!!!

Yay!

Annea? Do you remember how I wondered about making just an object colored in a black and white picture? Well......

See?! I did it! I can only do this at school though because the gay photoshop that we have is más punto. My dress might've been many colors, but I like it, dude! Now....All you people can reminisce about when I was a sweet, innocent little girl. (I can still get away with being innocent at school! Ha ha ha ha!!)

Here's another I took at School last semester:

Yay!

2008-01-15T07:33:00.002-05:00

Guess what again!!!

I might be able to get a Nintendo DS right now! I have lots of $$$$$, so I can get it! My dad said that one costs about $129.99, and I have $157...I think. I was savin' up for a PSP, but dad changed my mind when he said that I might get a PSP for my B-Day. So I thought, "I sould buy the cheaper one and get the PSP for my birthday." I had a smart idea! So, I might be able to get this when ever I want! Plus, Annea? Didn't you return a jacket for me? Is that more moolah comin' my way?

This is what a PSP looks like:

This is what a DS looks like:

Zoo!

2008-01-09T07:27:00.002-05:00

Guess what!!

I'm going to the zoo on April 25th with my Digital Photography class!

My teacher, Mr. Davis, told us about the possibility of us going to the zoo this school year, and he made it happen! I am very excited to take pictures of animals, and not of this tan and boring school.

We are going to the Indianapolis zoo, of course. I assigned myself to take some pictures of the polar bears, because he told us to pick an animal to take a picture of.

I can't wait!

Rachael's 15th B-Day PART 2

2007-12-21T11:04:00.000-05:00

Okay, well, when we were waiting, did I mention that there was a cop car out there? There was nobody in it, but we saw the cop across the parking lot at the movie theater. Rachael called one of us a "stupid pig" really loud because of the snowballs, and as soon as she said it, she gasped. I said "What?" and then she looked over at the theater. The cop wasn't there, thank goodness. Her dad finally came, and when he did show up, Amanda and Rachael ran on ice to get to him. That was stupid. I sat up front and put on my seat belt. Rachael's dad is the Mexican one and her mom's the white one. Reversed parents of ours. Ain't that sweetness?!?!? Okay, so, The roads were really bad, so we didn't get to go to a live nativity at our Saturday church. (We like to pick on one of the bus workers named Josuf, but that's a different blog entry.) We got to Rachael's trailor and walked inside. It was really nice! Rachael's room was freakin' coolio! I wanted it. She has a dog named Scotty. Rachael says that he's really hyper. (We didn't get to see him much.) We soon sang to her and watched open her presents. We got her some socks....really awesome socks. one pair said "Left Foot" on one sock and "Right Foot" on the other. Doesn't that sound nice? Anyway, we got some cake and it was yummy. Peoples' tounges were blue because of the dye in the icing. We soon left her place and saw her on Monday at school.

^_^

Gasps

2007-12-19T08:30:00.001-05:00

Guess what Club Penguin has?!?!?!?!?!?

Woah, Buddy!!!!! They sell these things at Target!!!

It's a membership card thingy!!!

Ain't that coolness?!? You don't have to pay through mail (or however you were supposed to pay) now!! A membership with Club Penguin could mean that you can buy clothes for your penguin. You can also decorate your igloo....Oh yeah! There's this holiday that's coming up were you can give gifts to other people, so.....

Please?

Rachael's 15th B-Day Part 1

2007-12-18T08:05:00.000-05:00

We went to Rachael's Birthday party on Saturday. But before that, we went to church and had "Christmas on the Bus". "Christmas on the Bus" is when every kid on the bus gets a present based on their age group, thanks to the people who attend the church. (They buy the presents.) I got some nice bath items. Such as lotion, body spray, and some liquid soap. Amanda got some gloves after trading presents like 3 times. She gave them to mamaw, (Dad's mom) because she had lost her other ones.

Anyways.....

After church, I call Rachael to find out what the plan was for her B-Day party. I knew we were going to see Alvin and the Chipmunks, but we didn't know what time. She told us it was at 4:20. So, we left a 4:00...I think. She didn't get there until AFTER 4:20. See, her mom was to pay for our tickets, so, we couldn't just go into the movie and wait for her. We eventually got to see the movie. (Valeria was supposed to come, but we didn't see her.) The place was freakin' packed! We had to sit in the 3rd row from the front! The movie was coolness. You guys will LOVE Theodore! He'll make you say "Awwwww~!" Rachael was supposed to call her mom when the movie was over, so she checked her pockets for her cell phone. She couldn't find it, so we went back in the theater, thinking that her cell had fallen out of her pocket. We couldn't find it in there either. I asked her if she had even brought it. She said "Yeah!" then I thought that it might've fallen out in her van. She called her dad with Amanda's cell, and I was right. It had fallen out of her pocket in the van. After all that, we went to the place where people are nonexistant: The Kokomo mall. All 3 of us wanted to take our picture in one of those photo booth things. Rachael had a 20 and I had a 10. We needed to have $3.00 for pictures. We needed some change, so we bought some blankets (One for each of us) at Goody's. After getting out the $3.00, we cramed ourselves in the photo booth. It was fun! All of us laughed at the last picture that was taken, because Rachael had shoved Amanda's face into the camera. After that, We tied our blankets around our necks to be Super Hobos. Yes, Super Hobos. Rachael then called her dad again for him to come pick us up. We went outside where it was icing, and were Super Hobos out there. We waited a long time for her dad to come.

Part 1 has now ended....

Wait for Part 2 in the future.......Mmm Kay?!

3rd Place

2007-12-06T07:43:00.001-05:00

Who knew that I had to make a mole for Chemistry? Well, I did. The teacher said that you could make a mole for a contest and for extra credit. I tried to be very creative when making my mole. It's an angel. It has big wings, a halo, blonde, curly hair and blue eyes, a blue skirt, and a little music player inside of it that plays "Silent Night". My mole ended up wining 3rd place (I tied with 2nd place, but they moved me down a place just because) and will be displayed in the show case along with my picture. 1st Place went to someone who made a BIG mole named Dr. Evil Mole. Then he made a smaller mole and named that one Mini Mole. THEN he made a cat that was furry on one side. Can you guess why he won? It has to do with the Austin Powers movies. It was really good! The big mole was big. Someone could put it in a store right next to the other big stuffed animals, and sell it. I don't know who won 2nd place, or what the mole looked like. I'll see it in the show case though, along with mine and the others. ^_^

2007-12-03T07:30:00.000-05:00

Ahhh! Amanda! I forgot your made up word! Grr! I can't remember!!!! I keep thinkin' and thinkin', but I just can't remember! Soooooo.....

How would you family members like to make up a word for me in the meantime??? Gimme the word and the definition. I'll look up your word in the dictionary just to make sure you're not cheatin'! I'll also put the one I like the best on the side bar. You have to remember that it'll be up there until I remember Amanda's word, so please create one to fill that space over there. -->

Cold

2007-11-30T07:46:00.000-05:00

Hmm...I still have my freakin' cold.....I have to cook today too.....Aw well. It's for Nutrition & Wellness class. We're making breakfast. Hmmm....I don't want my friend to get sick, but I might get this girl named Ronda sick...sounds good. Yupness.
Okay!
Well, mom and Manda seem to be getting symptoms. Manda said that her throat hurts and her nose is a little stuffy. Mom said that she feels horrible. (Maybe Ronda will feel horrible...?) This is not good. Dad keeps blaming mom that she got me sick, because she's around little kids all day; the carriers. Apparently, dad got it first because he was sick before I was. How ironic is that? (I used a big word!) Wait 'til I tell him! Mwahahahahahaha!!

2007-11-28T07:32:00.000-05:00

I have nothing to write about, dudes. There's nothing new in my life, except this cold.......again.....Stupid colds. Anyways, since I'm not feeling very well, I have no intrest in anything. (I'm only writing this 'cause I'm bored and I just need something to do, because I just got done doing a worksheet.) So yeah, I'm bored, I'm grumpy, (From not being able to breathe at night when I go to sleep.) and I'm tired. I have one word to say and this is it: EEeeeeeeeEEeeehhhHhhhhhh!!!

Student of the Month?

2007-11-15T07:52:00.000-05:00

"Student of the month?" I thought this as my DP teacher sat down next to me and handed me a paper. "You are my student of the month for December", he said. "December?", I thought, "It's still November." "So I want you to fill this paper out." "Okay." I took it, smiling, and looked at it. I answered a couple questions that were on the paper, still wondering WHY I actually got this. When I was done, I gave the paper to him. He took it and said, "Thank You!" I'm still wondering why, but I guess I shouldn't question this, since it's a good thing. There is a person or 2 who take better pictures than me. I'm guessing that they already got it, 'cause I really don't deserve it, with the pictures I see in my class.

In other news, artwork will now be accepted for the New Media and Video Festival exibit at Indiana University of Kokomo. I'm thinking about turning some in. I caught the sun through the branches of a tree in my backyard, and I like that picture. (You can turn in more then one submission.) They will be accepting digital art, digital photography, video, websites, or animation. So you guys should turn stuff in too.

My Internet

2007-11-12T07:59:00.000-05:00

Sooooo...Nothing's real new in this life of mine. It's starting to get boring. I have all this free time in DPC, and nothing to write about. Hmmm....I'm thinking. Hold on a sec.................................................Oh, yes. My stupid pictures. (the ones with the sleep over and Rachael-poo) I'm not even messing with them anymore. The freaking computer is SOOOO slow. Mom said that one time, she put pictures on her blog, and it took them each 15 minutes to upload! How freakin' gay is that crap?! We need a faster Internet. Bad. With our old computer, I kept on saying, "Dad, can we get a faster Internet? Pleeeaaasse?" Then he would say something about it being too much money. Then on Christmas, we got a new computer. (THANK YOU! ^^) The Internet's a little bit faster, but it's not fast enough. We can't even watch things on youtube right away. We have to sit there and wait for the dang video to load! (Which will probably take a good 30 minutes out of your life. It depends on how long the video is.) I get so impatient. Club Penguin is sometimes STUPID! >/ It'll go: "Clear your cashe", or however you spell it, right when I'm waddling around, throwing snowballs at the pink Penguins. I'm jealous of mamaw's and papaw's computer, man. It's feakin' fast, dudes! Sooooo......

"TOUSAN? CAN WE HAVE A FASTER INTERNET?!"

2007-11-05T08:03:00.000-05:00

School is boring. Boring, boring, boring. I'm WAY done with this assignment, and I've got nothing to do. All I do is looks at y'all's blogs all the time. We have an hour and 3o minutes in here!!! It sucks, dudes! Ya got any fun sites I can be on? I can't play computer games at all, which makes it suck more. That means no Club Penguin. Aaaarrrrgg! These are the times when DP gets all boring on ya. So...about them sites???

Sleepover!

2007-10-29T20:10:00.001-04:00

Last Thursday, Rachael spent the night at mine and Manda's house. It was fun! We wanted to make pizza for everybody, and we all did. All of the pizzas were stuffed crust. I took the camera out and wanted to do before and after pictures of the pizzas. Everybody helped except the mom and dad, and the finished products were great! We made 3 pizzas! Dad said that he liked 'em and wanted me and Amanda to make more again. Later that night, Manda sorta fell asleep. Me and Rachael then decided to do some head banging, just to catch our hair flying in a picture. I got the camera out again, and took some. All of the pics of that night are below:

Well...I have to resize all the pictures because they're so gosh dang big! Our "Photoshop" can resize pictures, but it's so frustrating to get it to the right size! Sometimes it won't even save it right. To make this all worse, our computer is probably the slowest out of everybody else's, so it may take a LONG while to get them up. =/

2007-10-22T07:56:00.000-04:00

Oh yes! It's my X-mas list:

The things I told mom and dad:

Nintendo DS
My Sims (A game for the DS)
Animal Crossing: Wild World (Another game for the DS)
Some Naruto game for the DS (I forget what it's called.)
iPod Nano
Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2 (For the Gamecube)
Any Naruto items (Except the cards and the action figures. Those are icky poo.)
A NEW FREAKIN' INTERNET, BOI!!!

Things I haven't told mom and dad(I think):

Movie tickets would be nice.
How about a Phone card...or 2?
I need JEANS. (I have lots of capri pants, thanks to Annea.)
PSP (I'm savin' up my moolah for that sucka. It's $169.99!)
Money (So I can buy that PSP, baby!)
A black sweater jacket
Paramore CD (Paramore is a band, dudes. The CD's called "Riot!")
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus CD (Another band. I forget what the CD's called.)
One word: Hoodies
A good Photoshop program (Ours suck like heck)

Well, that's about it. If I get all the DS things and the iPod that I told mom and dad, I'll be one happy camper! (Of course, I'll be busy playing the DS all day. Every hour, on the hour.) =D I might put more on my blog, or on this list, who knows. Did I mention that the PSP comes with Internet access?! It does! So, I want money too.

P.S: Sorry. But I want expensive things. You live once. (=D)

Freakyness

2007-10-19T07:51:00.000-04:00

Okay, I had some freakyness happen to me yesterday morning while searching for random things on Google.

First, I typed in my name.....It was fine. Nothing freaky.

Then I typed in "Olivia Rutherford"

That's when the freakyness happened.

The first link was this: http://www.oliviarutherford.co.uk/

That, my friend, is WEIRD!

IT'S A FREAKIN' PHOTOGRAPHY SITE!!

(The photographer is Olivia Rutherford.)

Picture I took Yesterday Morning

2007-10-18T08:16:00.000-04:00

I love this picture, and I used it in a project.

2007-10-17T07:22:00.000-04:00

..::Christmas::..

Okay, some of you might want to know what I want for Christmas.

The list will be comming soon!

I promise!

2007-10-15T07:38:00.001-04:00

Guess what, people. I'm sick. I think it's freakin' allergies. I have a headache, stuffy nose, and throat problems. (I think it's a sore throat. I don't know what's wrong with it.) It's really gay because I have to go to dumb school and be miserable, instead of staying at home and being miserable. My voice is all weird and I don't wanna talk......Well, I don't think I CAN talk. That's how bad it is. If I do try to talk, you could barely hear me. I hate my nose! With it's...stuffyness and it's...runnyness when it's not all "Hey! I'm gonna be stuffy!"...-ness...? I'm also having trouble sleeping at night because of it, which is really bad, considering that I have to get up at 5:40 a.m. I probably woke up about 3 times last night. I've taken medicine, so, hopefully, it'll work soon. Like I said, this is gay. >.<

2007-10-09T08:23:00.000-04:00

Check out the quote! Isn't that funny?! Poor, poor George.

Bloggin' At School Every Morining

2007-10-05T07:46:00.000-04:00

Yes, that's right. I blog at school in Digital Photography class. In fact I wrote this post and the last post in Digital Photography. I look at ALL your blogs, to see if anything's new. Now I know how y'all (I had the urge to type "y'all"!) felt when I didn't post for a long time. Sorry about that. Anyways, I'm bored now. Everyone's working on a project that I got done at the very begining of class. It was very easy. Plus, I have a sub, so there's not much goin' on. There's a lot of absent people too.......YESSSSSS!
Startin' on another project....Peace!...........

ohmygosh! Here's my project! (It's going to be awesome when it's finished!) :

In this project, each of you will be asked to complete a demonstration using a combination of copy and pictures. ("Copy and pictures"?? I don't get it.) You will need to work with a camera partner on this project. First, you must come up with some type of "How to process" some examples are these (Oh. I get it now.) :

How to tie a shoe
How to change a light bulb
How to make a sandwich (A sandwich?! xD)
How to wash your hands

Before any pictures are taken, you must submit your step-by-step process. For each step of the process, you will then have your partner take a picture. The process should contain at least 10 steps, but no more than 20.

When finished, you will compose a packet which contains the pictures that will have the step of the process typed below the picture. I will assist with the layout of the project once the steps of the process are created and all of the pictres are taken. You will recive 2 grades for this project. One for your submitted step-by-step process and one for your pictures identified with the steps. Good luck!

Don't worry family, no one got up and started taking the cameras out when I was typing this. They stayed on their computers, doing whatever they were doing before the project was given. My partner is still working on the last project anyways...I think...Okay, she's not. Plus, there's a lot of absent people, remember? So, yeah. No one's going to pick up a camera today. I know what you're thinking!: "Start now and get it over with!", right? Well, the problem is that I can't think of a "how to process". I have to friggin' think, okay. Some suggestions would be nice. =)

..::Book::..

2007-09-28T07:30:00.000-04:00

Ok, this book is flippin' boring. (I'll get money for reading it, but it's still boring.) I haven't read it since 2 weeks ago. The title is How to Win Friends and Influence People. It sounds like a handbook for life. The author makes it like a diary type thing. He refers to himself as "I", which sorta makes it confusing. I don't wanna read what this guy has done! He also talks about many, many people and quotes them. In some quotes, I don't even understand them. I'm a teenager, I wouldn't get that kind of stuff. In one chapter, he talks about how to get something you want without asking for it. His example that I found to be understandable was of someone named Stan Novak of Cleveland, Ohio.

"Stan came home from work one evening to find his youngest son, Tim, kicking and screaming on the living room floor. He was to start kindergarten the next day and was protesting that he would not go. Stan's normal reaction would have been to banish the child to his room and tell him he'd just better make up his mind to go. He had no choice. But tonight, recognizing that this would not really help Tim start kindergarten in the best frame of mind, Stan sat down and thought, 'If I were Tim, why would I be excited about going to kindergarten?' He and his wife made a list of all the fun things Tim would do such as finger-painting, singing songs, and making new friends. Then they put them into action. 'We all started finger-painting on the kitchen table-my wife, Lil, my other son, Bob, and myself, all having fun. Soon Tim was peeping around the corner. Nest he was begging to participate. 'Oh, no! You have to go to kindergarten first to learn how to finger-paint.' With all the enthusiasm I could muster I went the list talking in terms he could understand-telling him all the fun he would have in kindergarten. The next morning I thought I was the first one up. I went downstairs and found Tim sitting sound asleep in the living room chair. 'What are you doing here?' I asked. 'I'm waiting to go to kindergarten. I don't want to be late.' The enthusiasm of our entire family had aroused in Tim an eager want that no amount of discussion of threat could have possibly accomplished'"

I read this on one of my GQE test days. Later that same day, me and Amanda went to Head Start to work with mom. Too bad she wasn't there to help us in the big room. (The big room is where the little kids go to play.) We were with Shane or Mr. Matlock's class the whole day. We were in the big room when one of the little kids hurt his head. (It was sorta my fault, so I felt really bad because he started crying.) I sat him on a chair and started to rub his head while the other kids started to get in line. I asked him if he wanted to go to the nurse, and he said no. Then the other kids and the teachers left the big room and I asked him again. He still said no. He stopped crying by this time, and we needed to get back to the room for snack. I told him that we needed "to go to the classroom now." I went near him to grab his hand and he kept swinging his arms and feet around, so I tried my best to apply the principle. I asked him if he wanted to go home. He said yes, of course. So then I told him that if he went to class, he would get to go home. He STILL wouldn't budge! I tried everything I could think of! I was soon fed up and picked him up. Manda was with me and she said, "You need to let him walk." I set him down and grabbed his hand. Well, he fell on the freakin' floor. Luckily mom came out of a room near by. She picked him up by the hand and we ALL walked to class. That principle did NOT work for me. It was either that, or the kid was just way too stubborn. (Oh yeah, I actually left him in the big room "by himself")

(I HAVE NO IDEA IF YOU CAN CLICK THIS TO MAKE IT BIGGER, BUT GO AHEAD AND TRY IF YOU CAN'T READ IT.)

Yes.

You wanted more, so I'll give you people more.

I'll be thinking about the story as much as I can, because I have no idea what Bob is going to go through.

Goodbye Sticks!

2007-09-17T08:10:00.000-04:00

I am Finished!

Yes, the lovable stick people that you know in The Book of Jon (and Friends) have finally ended their career. I finished it on Friday at school, during 3rd period Spanish class. We had "Half Game Day", and that meant that we could do whatever we wanted! (Some guy even pulled out his freakin' laptop!) I had nothing to do, so I'd thought that I'd finish up Dolly, since I had the book in my backpack for Rachael to see during lunch. I love all my characters. So Give them an applaud for entertaining you! ^^

Quotes:
"I want pickles and Ice cream, Dangit!" - Fred
"Hair! OMG!" - Dolly

"Look! Bill Cosby!" - That one Guy who tried to capture Dolly

"Well this feels suckish." - Dolly
"Moo!" - The Stray Cow

(If you have anymore quotes that you remember, I'll put them up!)

Here's my awesome picture that people tried to duplicate:

I took it while walking, so that's why its a little blury.

My First School Days

2007-08-22T19:06:00.001-04:00

Hm? If I could describe it in one word, it would be: Boring. Yeah, it's boring, but the days go by fast. I thought today was Tuesday. I like my red days, but I hate my blue days. I would like both days much more if I ditched my math class. That one is so BORING!! I almost fell asleep yesterday in that class from listening to my teacher talk so much. (He has a deep, boring voice, so I could go night-night in that class if I could, and I don't usually fall asleep in class at all.) Anyways, here's my schedule:

RED DAY:
1st Period: Digital Photography (It's kinda boring in that class too, because we haven't done anything with the cameras yet.)
2nd Period: English (That classroom is THE coldest classroom ever! Plus, the teacher has a fan blowin' on him!)
3rd Period: Spanish (I have my old middle school Spanish teacher for this class, so I know her rules well and what to do. One of the easiest classes)
4th Period: Nutrition & wellness (In that class, we learn about food. We will get to cook it too.)

BLUE DAY:
5th Period: Digital Photography (Yes, I have this class twice. It's like my first period EVERY day.)
6th Period: SRP (Stands for Student Resource Period. We use this class to do homework and other pieces of crap stuff that I hate. We also use this period to go do make-up work in another class if you have an SRP pass.)
7th Period: Integrated Math IIA (I did Integrated Math IB in Summer School.)
8th Period: Chemistry (It's okay. I only say this because I like the teacher. He's cool.)

There it is. Now, don't ask me, "How's school?"

The Book of Jon (and friends)

2007-08-11T15:23:00.000-04:00

Hello relatives! I have been writing a story for a while now. I had totally forgotten about it until cleaning my room one day for our new bed arrival! I found the little notebook among tons of other crap. I opened it up and there was my Jon story. It's about this guy who has many health problems. Throughout the story, I keep on mistaking Jon's twin for him. Anyways, I was thrilled that I had found it, because I had written it over a year ago. I then got the inspiration to write about Jon's twin, which is longer then the first story in my little notebook. The stories have slapstick comedy in them. And It's rated PG because of rude humor. (Sorry Ari and Ian, mommy can't read it to you.)
I took the book over to my grandma and grandpa's house on the following Sunday, because I knew Annea and Rich were going to be there. All I can tell you, is that they were cracking up at it. I then wrote and ended the third story that same day. I can't tell you the title of it, because that would give some of it away. I've been thinking of a way to put my stories on here without tearing the pages out. And on my computer, I can't draw or anything that would look like the original. So, I will keep my little notebook in the car and if you wanna see it, just tell me and I'll bring it inside wherever. Trust me, you WILL laugh. I am currently working on another story in my little notebook. It's entitled Dolly.

Imma Tour Guide! =D + A girl named Rachael

2007-08-08T22:44:00.000-04:00

Today, I had to help TapeEar and my friend, Rachael, find things in the high school. (Classrooms and lockers) TapeEar did find things on her own, like her locker. (Which she might not use.) I did have to help Rachael find her locker. Her mom thought that the lockers were only downstairs, but some are upstairs too. Rachael said that she looked all downstairs to find her locker. No luck. Her mom can't climb stairs, so I took Rachael upstairs to find her locker, leaving her mom, and mine and TapeEar's parents behind. Rachael told her mom to wait for her right by the auditorium. We finally found her locker in the Spanish hallway. Right before we did find her locker, a voice on the intercom said that people with the last name that starts with an "A" and these Kat people, were to meet their parents in this room number I can't remember now. Rachael's last name is Arredondo, so we were worried that we wouldn't find her mom. All three of us went downstairs. I found my Tousan (That means "father" in Japanese.) easily. But when we went by the auditorium, we didn't see Rachael's mom anywhere. Rachael went in search for her mom and then found us again, with no mom. The last time we saw her, she made her way to the bathroom. I guess she found her mom, 'cause we didn't see her again.

About Rachael:
She is my "Besty" as TapeEar says. We see her every Saturday at church. I met her, I guess, at Saturday church, through TapeEar. She did spend the night with us sometime in July. She's sorta like Tiffany, but not THAT much like Tiffany. (Oh yeah, Tiffany's in Arkansas right now, with her aunt. She won't be back for a year. o_O) Rachael's an awsome buddy of mine! She's half hispanic, like me and TapeEar, so we speak Spanish to each other, which is fun! We've been friends for a long time and I hope it stays that way! ^^

2007-06-28T21:38:00.000-04:00

2 Posts in one day? Well, we just got some pictures uploaded on our computer and this was on of 'em, and I couldn't resist it! Sophie's so happy, ain't she?!

(TapeEar took it.)

Long Time, No Post!

2007-06-28T19:41:00.000-04:00

Hi! How long has it been? I can't remember...
Anyways, I bet some of you didn't know that I had to go to summer school this month! (And mabe some of you did...) It was easy and I'm out already. I got out yesterday. o_O I think I might have an A. My now ex-teacher didn't add *our grades up with our Final test. I had an A before "Mid-term" and after it. Wondering what class it was? Intgrated Math 1B. I failed Algebra 1A first semester of last year...Woopsie, so I had to take it to catch up. I'm gonna have chemistry next year! Mwahahahaha!!! I'm gonna mix chemicals!!! >=D And I think Digital Photography 'cause that's what my counselor said.

*I mean my classmates and I.

Summer School with the little kiddies

I'll be going to summer school again tomorrow morning, but To help out! Yup, it's time to work with some brats again! Manda and mom said there's this kid in the class who said that he was in love with me....
-_-
Oooooookay...He's 5. He doesn't know better. His name is Curtis (Heh heh! Curtis....) and he doesn't listen to Amanda at all. I'll be going for my FIRST time over there while mom and Manda have been there twice already. I know Curtis from helping out with mom during the school year...so yeah...Mom told him that I would be coming on Friday and then he says, "I'm in love with her!" I don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow when I see him. I'm scared....You must HELP me!!

Snow Pictures

This is TapeEar in the snow. It's up to her knees!!

That's an icicle on the bottom. You can barely see it.

This is today, frost on the trees.

More frost on the trees.

There you go. Now stop harassing me! ^_^

What's With the Blog Name?

2007-01-10T19:35:00.000-05:00

Hi! Ever wonder why my blog is titled "The Life Of An Olive Tree"? Well, it's because my name means olive tree. I always thought is was weird because I thought, "I was named after a freakin' plant?!" but I found out that the olive tree is popular in Greece along the years. (Of course most of you probably already new this.) I embrace the fact that my name means olive tree, because I've been called "Olive" by friends.

Papaw and Chancy

2006-12-02T18:50:00.000-05:00

Does everyone know about Chancy, my grandpa's new dog? Good. Well, he spoils her to death. Every morning, he takes her to McDonald's to get her a sausage biscuit thingy! He worries about her when he leaves her by herself. And whenever he leaves the house when me and Amanda is there, he tells us to watch the dog for him. Oh yeah! He even left for Thanksgiving early to see how the dog is doing, plus, his truck is completely covered in Chancy hair on the inside! This is why his truck is covered with hair(I found this comic in yesterday's paper):

AHHHHHH!!! HOBOS!!!

2006-10-27T21:17:00.000-04:00

I'm pretty sure that Amanda and I are going trick-or-treating this year. We were thinking about going as hobos. Yes, the hobo, commonly feared by those who are hobo-phobic. I think I'm hobo-phobic, because we once had a hobo living in our neighborhood, and I was pretty scared of him. He lived in the ally. (not the one behind our house.) He used to shoplift from stores like Village Pantry and the Dollar Store. But, sadly, he died.... Tiffany told me that she went walking with Miesha, (my-eesh-uh) (one of my other friends) and this other chick back from the Dollar Store. They threw rocks at his house, and one of them broke a window. When the window broke, they went running away laughing. (I admit, me, Amanda, Tiffany, and some other neighborhood kids threw rocks at his house too.) Tiffany thought that he had a heart attack because the broken window startled him. I sorta believe it because we haven't seen the hobo since then.

Club Penguin

2006-08-05T12:59:00.000-04:00

I have been on club penguin for a long time. What is club penguin? It's a fun place where u can walk around a little island type thing as a penguin. You can chat with other penguins and play games. Fun for all! It doesn't cost anything to join. You can throw snowballs at other penguins if you wanna be a cereal killer. (just kiding) You can rob the pizza parlor too. I did it once. It was fun. Annea was an eye witness to my crime. I think throwing snowballs at people is the most funest thing to do! Sound like fun? THEN JOIN! I NEED FAMILY ON THERE BESIDES TAPEEAR AND MY COUSINS!! PLEASE!!!!! My name on club penguin is Operson. TapeEar's name still is the same. (She has different accounts too.)

Here is the link to Club Penguin: www.clubpenguin.com (Duh)

My School Books and Locker

2006-07-27T19:00:00.000-04:00

I have 4 classes everyday at high school. We have the first 4 classes one day, then the last 4 classes the next day, and so on. I heard from a girl at the high school say that she doesn't even know where her locker is in the school because she carries her backpack from class to class. (She told a group of kids and me that when we went on the tour of the school.) This made me happy because then I wouldn't have to run to my locker as often, or at all! (I wouldn't be tardy as much ether.) The books is what got to me though, because I didn't want to carry all 8 around when I didn't need them. Mom told me that Jonathan (my cousin who goes to high school.) left the 4 books he didn't need at home, and not in his locker. Then, he put the books he needed for the next day in his backpack when he got home, so that's what I was gonna do. Well we all went to go get school supplies today, And when we showed dad all of it, we started a conversation about my soon to be school books. (I forget what I said to start it anyway.) Dad say that...no, scratch that, he DEMANDED that I leave the 4 books I don't need in my locker. I said "Why?" Then he said "Well what if they say we're going to have to cancel this class today because of such and such, so they're going to have this class today." I COULD NOT SPEAK!! I didn't know what to say! It was so ridiculous! Different people have different classes! "They wouldn't do that!" I finally said. Then, just like a little kid, he said "How do you know?" I complained that my locker was too small, (They're not even 10 inches wide! Measure how long 10 inches are! Not that long!) but he said that they will fit. I don't wanna go to my locker at all! He also said to bring books home if I had homework, and "What if you need a book that you don't have with you?" I don't wanna put 4 books in there! Let alone 8! (if I don't have homework) As soon as he left, I said "I'm gonna do it anyway." So who's idea is better? Mine or his?

TIFFANY

BOO! Tiffany left Kokomo! But I'm all right, and she's all right too. Her aunt and uncle is who she spends the most time with. Her aunt seems nice 'cause I've talked to her before over the phone. Since Tiffany left, she has called over here 4 times. I only talked to her 3 time though. The last 2 were more recent, Saturday night and Sunday morning. She says hi to everyone. (that she knew.)

SUMMER SCHOOL

Brats. Most of them anyways. I know Amanda told you about them, so, I won't do that. Andra (Andre) got sent to the principals' office Friday. (the 21st) YESSSSSSSSS!! I was very happy! I know it's wrong, but we didn't have to put up with him for the rest of the day!!!! It seems that he was fighting with another student on the bus. WOO HOO he got wrote up!!!! YEA!! ^_^ I hope he got in trouble at home.....We're going to Highland park tomorrow. While the kids, me, and Amanda are playing, Mr. Guy will be grilling hotdogs on the grill. Mr. Guy helps with the fathers program at Head Start. He helps us when we go on field trips too.
That's all........

I AM VERY VERY SAD....... :(

2006-06-01T21:56:00.000-04:00

I was asleep for a long time and then I woke up. I heard the phone ring and heard my dad say "Hello?............Just a minute." He came into my room and said "Olivia, it's Tiffany". I said "ok". I took the phone and said "hello". We had the following conversation:

Tiffany: Guess what.
Me: What?
Tiffany: I'm moving to Arkansas
Me: Why? (I was about to cry, but I didn't)
Tiffany: My mom says she hates this place (She was sniffing. Ya know, like you are crying or have been crying.)

At first I had thought it was a joke, but then I heard the sniffing. Tiffany had been talking about how her mom was thinking about moving there. She told me how she told other friends: When she told my friend Brenna, she said that she was going to KIDNAP her. When she told another friend, Nycole, she was crying. We talked about our sadness for a long time. Tiffany also told me that she was moving on July 1st. That made me extra sad. Because that meant I only had a month left with her. As soon as we hung up, I lost all my self-control. I started crying so bad! I was thinking: Who am I going to school with? I am going to be so bored with no one around!! Will I ever see her again? WHO WILL BE MY BEST FRIEND?
(I was crying as was typing this......)

I heard some amazing roomers at school today. It was about the fight yesterday. Here are some: "I heard that Macie's head was bleeding!", "I heard that Nahen hit Macie's head on a brick wall!", and "OHMYGOSH! Macie's in the hospitail!" None of that stuff is even true.

OMG!

2005-09-27T18:41:00.000-05:00

I witnessed a fight after school today. It was between my friend, Macie and some dude named Nathan. The vice principle had to question me because I had seen it all. I was completely frozen in terror because Nathan was punching her a lot (Macie can defend herself because she's tough. but I felt like I needed to help her but I couln't) my day had been some what exciting today.
