Okay, so I know I don't post so much any more

But if you've been following my blog for a while and have been reading my oldest posts you can remember that one of my first posts said that I would try to blog lots unless life happened.  Well, life has happened.  I could tell you about Christmas if I wanted to and how it was delayed for a day because my grandfather went to the hospital for reasons but is getting better now despite everything, but I don't have to, now.  Do I?  Now you know.

My weeks have been mostly doing school, visiting the hospital, going to Drama Club, going the Youth Group, trying out my new Ipod, playing Skylanders, petting my cat, and emailing Muppet.  Of course, other things have happened this winter.  We had plenty of visitors this winter including some friends I haven't seen in many years.  Like since I was ten or something.  That was about five or six years ago.  Yes, I had my birthday in January and, lucky me, I got sick the next day.  Between December of last year and January of this year, things just keep happening on after another for me.

There's not a ton for me to say because once I start telling you stuff, I'll end up telling you every single unimportant detail.  Like, my toothpaste exploded Monday and exploded again three days later.  I wanted to take a picture of the tube itself because it looked so freakishly diseased that it was creepy.

Point proven.

So I've been tossing around ideas for getting a new blog for more specific things so I could have one neat and nice blog and this blog which looks like I threw sherbet at the screen and added a sprinkle of kitties.  I don't know if I'm allowed to get a new blog, though.  I don't want to end up with fifty-zillion blogs.  I've been mostly thinking about making a blog to post random writing I've done and only for my random writing.  Another idea I've been thinking about is collaborating with Muppet to make a nail blog.  I read her blog recently and I quote:

"I've had various thoughts about making a nail blog, or turning this into a nail blog, but then I realized I have a doll blog that I don't do anything on because my computer doesn't like uploading my own pictures to any sort of internet, and what's the point of anything if there's no pictures?"

I have a perfectly good camera (as does she) and computer.  Her computer has problems with uploading pictures onto her blog.  My computer doesn't have a problem with my camera's photos  So I wonder if her old pictures might work on my computer.  Just thinking.

I like the thought of collaborating on nails with her.  She constantly paints my nails and I think they deserve to be displayed somewhere else besides the middle drawer in my dresser of strangeness.  THEN I could solve her problem of trying to find a blog challenge to do: 31 day nail challenge!  I bet she could do it even if it took her longer than a month.  She WEEKLY paints her nails.  Well, speaking of nails, Muppet and I are getting real, professional manicures today.  I can't wait.  I'm bringing my camera to take pictures of our nails.

Until next time (which won't be three months this time)!

Good-bye Summer! Hello Summer Jr!

Aka, a very warm fall.  I can't believe it's already October again!  It seems like not that long ago I was dressed up as my sister's twin!  That was a fun Halloween.  But before I drift into talking about past costumes or how beautiful changing leaves are, let's reminisce about this Summer...What happened this Summer:

Tennessee Vacation!

Drama club:

Drama Camp (don't have a photo for this)

Confirmation:

Although, those are the big things that have happened this summer, there have also been smaller events that are none the less important.  Including that my beef jerky went bad last month (Ew!  I didn't know I was supposed to refrigerate it!) and my new discovered love for artists such as J.J. Heller and Barlow Girl.  I love music!

And Ice Cream:

Ice cream is just de-lick-sious!  Okay, that was a really lame joke.  Another highlight to my Summer was DOWNTON ABBEY!!!! Love that show.  *tear* I have to wait until next year to see the next season since it premiers in Britain first.  Which, obviously, I don't live there.

My reading hasn't been very productive this summer, unfortunately.  I've read The Help and I'm pretty far into Twilight but I can't read anymore for the time being since The Scarlet Letter is pleading for me to finish it.  Oh, I also read The Hiding Place.  If you've never read that book, I highly suggest it to you.

Now it's October!  I can't believe it!  I'm going to start tearing up now because it wasn't until the fall that Muppet and I really got to know each other.  That was last year!  It can't have only been a year!  I've known her forever, I swear!  Well, maybe not.  But it certainly seems that long.

October brings Halloween.  And Halloween brings costumes and candy.  I've been everything from a politician to a baby; from cats to bats to spiders to a skeleton to a twin.  I have no idea what it'll be this year.  I'm really not feeling like Halloween anymore.  Last year was when the childhood make-believe and holidays faded for me.  I feel like people lose the true meaning of these holidays.

For instance: Halloween is really about all those who have gone before us and died: saints, martyrs, and just the deceased in general.  It actually has roots to the church and wasn't about candy, dressing up and scaring people.

And Christmas isn't about presents: it's about the birth of Jesus.  People forget that and are just fed candy instead of the true meaning.  These other things that we think of when we think of holidays are just traditions that built up over time until it grew into a national tradition; no, a world wide tradition.

Not that presents and candy are a bad thing.  I love holidays because they bring people together.  I just feel like there needs to be more explanation to these special days really mean and how they came around.  I hope you've learned something today!

What's Going On Tomorrow?

Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya tomorrow
You're always a day away!

So.  Tomorrow is a teacher's meeting.  Which means all of the other homeschooling moms in my homeschool group are getting together and talking about school and other uninteresting things that we kids don't really care to hear about (but are none the less important).  This is usually the day that I don't get too much school done but I'm going to try to accomplish as much as I can so that I can enjoy my free time to talk to Muppet at the park.  Of course, since the meeting is in the morning, I can't get my stuff done and ahead before going.  Unless I decided to ditch getting any sleep.  And then I would NOT enjoy anything.  What's the point of getting stuff done and having all the time in the day when all you want to do is sleep?

So basically, I have to get all my school done in the afternoon after the teacher's meeting.  Before Zumba at Gold's Gym in the evening.  Which only sucks an hour out of my day, but still.  I'm not complaining here, though.  Just stating facts and telling you what's up (the trees and the sky and the birds...I know).

Yesterday, Como wasn't feeling well at all.  So we took the poor kitty to the vet (which is only, like, two blocks from our house).  She's feeling better today (I think, you can't ever tell with cats; they mask pain so well).  She's very groggy, but I would be too if I wasn't feeling well.

Nothing else interesting has been happening besides school...EXCEPT for Drama Club.  I'm going to be quitting the homeschool drama club that I was doing with my homeschool group because my school is dragging with two days being shot...not to mention the extra days blown because of an upcoming play or field trip.  BUT I am still going to be doing the Drama Club at the community theater.

I'm going to miss people at the other teacher's meeting, but if I'm going to teacher's meetings, I'll probably see them there.  Plus who says I can't help with drama club behind the scenes?  I could still suggest new games to Game Guy to play with the other kids.  Also, I might come back if there's a production next year...But that's a big MIGHT because I might decide to audition for something at the community theater during the time that the homeschool drama club is doing a production.  I don't even know what's happening next year for me.  But who's expected to know things a year ahead, anyways?

I Stayed Up Until 1:40...

...Because I finished watching all of the available Downton Abbey episodes!  I'm sad now because I have to wait until at least January to see the next episodes :'(  Such a good show!  But I shouldn't tell you about the show because then I would start spoiling things that are in the show.  Also, there are a few parts that might be a little inappropriate for some of the younger viewers out there and the last thing I want to do is scar my audience for life on my blog lol.

But of course I slept in this morning.  I probably would have slept longer if I hadn't had anywhere to go today.  I went to my grandparent's house, though, so I couldn't have slept til lunch time unless I wanted my family to leave me home, which I most definitely would not do.  But, anyways, I woke up at 8:34 or something this morning and told myself to role over and go back to sleep, so I did.  And then I woke up at 10:30 and ate my breakfast of glazed crullers (they're just fancy looking donuts).  I think that I may have actually dreamed about Downton Abbey last night...or at least some of the characters were in it.  Not that I really know what I was dreaming about.

Well, tomorrow I have a history quiz to do (yes, the homeschooler has homework to do this weekend), some cards that I really should write, church (not that I know if I'm alter serving or not) and Youth Group.  I'm new to the whole Youth Ministry thing at my church so I'm not sure what I'm exactly supposed to be doing.  We planned the kickoff but there was no planning or anything like that this week.  Whatever.

But I'm quitting alter serving.  I'm not sure I've mentioned this or not, but I am.  I'm not trying to encourage other people to get lazy in their ministry or whatever with their church.  It's just now, alter serving isn't my thing and it's harder for me than I think it's really worth.  I'm just done for a while.  I'm hoping maybe when things smooth out between my school and my drama clubs, maybe I'll start singing in the choir.  It might help improve my singing abilities.  But I'm still debating whether to still do two drama clubs during the week.  I think eventually I'm going to end up quitting the one with our homeschool group.  I don't know if it's worth the time to go there to goof off playing games and reading scripts and having to come home to a pile of school I still have to do.

We'll see.  God always sorts out this kind of thing eventually; one way or another.

La de da de doo!

Nothing much has been happening that's been blog worthy lately.  My nails are still sulking because, even though Muppet is back home where she belongs, we haven't had time to paint my nails.  Which is annoying because my mind thinks of new ideas faster than we can paint my nails.  But Muppet did paint her own nails!  They are so adorable.  I wish my nails could be painted.  *sigh*

Anyways.  Today was Drama Club!  Again!  Nothing too exciting happened.  There are lots of new people, as usual.  And, as usual, I played about a thousand games with them all and I still don't know all their names.  We played lots of this game called Poison.  Which is quite simple but equally fun.

First, to choose who the "poisoner" will be you have everyone stand in a circle and one person who is not playing taps the person of their choice on the head while everyone's eyes are closed.  Then the game begins!  Everyone walks around shaking each other's hands, including the poisoner.  But when the poisoner shakes you hand, they press their pointer finger into your wrist to "poison" you.  Next, you walk around a little while longer and shake people's hands, then you start to act sick.  After a few more seconds, you must die dramatically (not really, you're just acting).  Eventually when one of the living persons who have not yet been poisoned thinks they know who the poisoner is, they accuse the person that they think is it.  If they are wrong, they must also die dramatically.  If they are correct, they win and play may restart.

It's quite fun, but it gets tiresome after about the fifth time.  We also played games such as Freeze and Wax museum (which, if I haven't explained, I will eventually).  Then we went onto doing our scripts.  Next time we're expected to have our lines memorized.  Which won't be too hard for me, I guess.  I just have to find time when J is here to help me with my lines.  Which will probably be this weekend.  I also decided to ditch my southern accent since I doubt it sounds good at all to anyone.  That's my weak point in acting: accents.  I just can't seem to do them.  I can pitch my voice differently for characters and even make my voice sound shaky or stutter, but I can NOT do any accents with my voice.  I can sort of try to do a southern or British accent, but nothing else.

Well, enough of my ramblings! lol :)

Hey look!  Cosmo's winking at you:

Nails of the day

My next nails are also quite simple:

My friend did these nails up because this was the day (or should I say night) that I watched Mulan with her.  Mostly because that's one of those Disney classics that I haven't seen since...I don't know when and I wanted to see it again.  Also, that's one of Muppet's favorite movies, so all the more reason to watch it.

As I have said before, I don't remember the colors and brands of nail polishes that we used, but it doesn't matter very much.  You just need to know that I used a slightly shimmery red and black and white nail polishes.  She painted them red, then painted the black on the nail tip like a free hand french manicure thing.  Like this:

If you make it larger, you can see it better.  After they dried, Muppet added a white stripe along the bottom edge of the black nail polish, as seen in the first picture.

Well that concludes my nails of the day I guess.

In the future, I'll try and record better nail polish information.  If you're curious to what tools she uses for my nails the answer is a bobby pin, a thin nail polish brush that she saved from an old nail polish that went tacky, and a small piece of packaging cardboard for a artist pallet.

And also, for your information, I only own three colors of nail polish.  All of the nail polish you've seen on this blog is all her's.  What do you think of the nail art so far?  Don't worry if this isn't interesting to you.  The first stuff is less detailed than the later things.  You also have to understand that this was the third time she painted my nails.

Don't worry, you didn't miss out on her second time painting my nails.  That was the day of our Cast Party last year after my homeschool group put on the first performance that I was in.  The party took place at Muppet's house.  After I got tired of mosquitoes, Muppet and I went to play our own personal game of Apples to Apples.  Except it turned into the exact opposite because our friends came in and asked if they could join in and we couldn't say no and...you know how it goes.  So soon enough, there were over ten people playing and the game was getting too noisy so we sneaked out of the game and into her room and painted my nails black to match her nails which had been painted black for her costume as a fire bug.  Here's a picture of my black fingernails.

I had to use flash to get this picture because there was too much shade and I wanted to show them next to my toenails, which you have already seen (hopefully) in the last post.  This is a very hard shot to take with a camera.  I had my camera sitting between my knees while I pressed the picture button with my chin...or was it m nose?  But now I can say, "Look mom!  No hands!"

Also, you may have notice the scar on my right foot.  That's from when I was five (or something like that).  I was jumping on the rocking loveseat which, as you may or may not know, have mechanical parts in them.  Just saying, they hurt.  I never got stitches, just one of those butterfly bandages.  You can barely see it now, but it's still there.

I'm a kind blogger because I didn't share any graphic details with you lol.  It wasn't that graphic though...Well, I couldn't remember much anyways because I was crying my eyes out.  lol.  It's funny how you can look back on things and laugh at them even when they were terrible when it happened.

The First Homeschool Drama Club!

Drama club went well today!  There were quite a few people I already knew, some brand new people of whom I had never seen before, and H along a couple others who were new to Drama Club but not to me (including one of her sisters).  Our usual Drama instructor person was there, but only to tell us that she isn't going to be teaching any more Drama to us and that Z-man is taking over from now on.  I hope that maybe I can help with games and become Game Girl.  I haven't said anything to him yet but I would really enjoy teaching these new people new games.  Like the two different versions of Dead Beaver that I know or Captain on Deck!  Which I believe that Z-man knows that game, but I know a different version.  But they're similar.

Anyways, I don't know if you have happened to look at Chalkboard Nails at all.  It's basically a blog all about nailpolish, but the person who paints nails has some real talent.  Right now she is doing this 31 day challenge.  She's painting nails according to a certain theme.  So, today's theme was purple so she painted her nails to look like the purple people eater.  SO CUTE!

Well, I hope you get to look at those nails because they really are creative.  Like, I'm going to have to get Muppet to try and paint my nails like that, lol!

So This Is What Happened yesterday

I went to a teacher's meeting today for my homeschool group.  It's the first one since before summer started so it was exciting to see people again.  Although, certain Drama Club people were missing (gasp).  But that's not something to gasp at.  What's really to gasp at is Z-man's (most commonly known in drama club as game guy) new hair cut.  Originally his hair was down to his shoulders...or at least the last time I saw him it was.  But now it's at a normal guy's hair length.  Which, it hasn't been that short since I can't remember.  But Muppet also has a stunning new haircut and dye.  SO PRETTY!!!  It makes me wish I were blonde.  But the only blonde I ever have is my stupidity at times lol.  And the paint color in my room called blonde.

I also got the chance to see someone I have not gotten to see in years.  Literally.  I haven't seen her since 6th grade or something like that.  But we talked some at the beginning.  Ha ha!  And she still owns chickens.  My mother always wanted chickens when our deed restrictions went up but then they decided to say that you can't have farm animals unless their so-and-so yards away from the edge of your property yadda yadda.  Basically, if we wanted chickens, lambs, goats, cows etc., etc., etc. they would be living on our dining room table.  I doubt anyone would want a chicken staring at them while chowing down on KFC takeout.

So after I talked with her a while I felt obligated to meet and get to know Muppet's friend who, for safety precautions, will just go by H for the time being.  H kind of reminds me of the shyer version of Muppet.  She has plenty of siblings of whom I don't remember all their names.  But a couple of them came over to our little friend group (Muppet, H, and I) and drew random doodles in my doodle book.  H preceded to draw strange and cute creatures in my doodle book while I demonstrated what Cosmo Pluff from my new DS game looks like.  We mostly talked and listened to Francesca Battistelli, of whom H has both CD's of so we both knew what we were singing.

After the teacher's meeting ended we left H to go to our History co-op at the community college.  We discussed our history questions and answers after eating our lunch in the lunchroom there.  During this time my older sister went to her class and my brother read a random book.  So they were both preoccupied.

After history co-op we all went to Rita's to eat Italian ice.  Everyone except me seemed to have gotten mint chocolate chip, I choose lemonade because I felt very warm and sticky from the heat.  Also, lemons supposedly relieve stress.  Or at least smelling lemons does.

We went home and I finished up my history and TLP for the day and we went to Zumba...at Gold's Gym.  We have memberships now which is great because LA Fitness basically abducted all the fun out of Lifestyles.  Gold's Gym has a much warmer feel to it than Lifestyles does.  Maybe it has to do with the colors being so warm in there, but it just seems like a nicer, bigger, happier place than Lifestyles was when the LA Fitness stuff was taking over.  The instructor is pretty easy to follow and she has a great choice in music too.

Overall, yesterday was fun.  But now I'm a little sad because Muppet is going to California for a while.  But she'll be back soon enough.  In the meantime, next week is the first day of Drama Club.  So I'll be having fun with H that day.  But, unfortunately, I'm going to be quitting our homeschool group's Drama Club for a while because I'm already going to be using all of my leftover time to do the drama club at the community theater.  Plus, Drama Club isn't even going to be doing any performances of any sort for a while.  I'm not going to miss Muppet there because I'm already doing school with her plus we'll probably have a good share of opportunities to get together this year anyways.  I'll see the rest of Drama Club at the other teacher's meetings.  I'm sure I'll join it again eventually, but I don't have the time to do something so committing of my time right now.

ACHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yes, I'm sick today.  If you didn't notice from the title.  That's part of the reason why I didn't blog yesterday.  Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away...now it looks as though they're here to stay...Anyways.  Sorry, I get carried away when it comes to singing.  Not that I was actually was singing.  But speaking of singing, I came up with my own version of I Could Have Dance All Night.  It goes like so:

I could have slept all night
I could have slept all night
and still have slept some more.

I could have slept away
the entire day
and still have slept for sure.

But really, yesterday I had auditions.  And either it was because I mentioned that I was good at playing crazy granny's or they just thought that it was a better part for me, I'm going to be Weeping Old Lady 2.  2?  That sounds familiar...Ah!  I was Guard TWO in Jerusalem's Most Wanted.  It's reminding me of two different parts I've had in my life, the character Tilly McBride from Muppet's script of A Murder By Any Other Name Would Still Be Wrong and the part of Guard two mentioned above.  I think Tilly McBride is my ultimate favorite character I've ever been.  I mean, she was a little strange of a character, but in a good way.  I loved her crazy self.  I think Muppet should write part two to that.  Then a close second would be my character from How to Eat Like a Child in the song How to Torture your Sister.  But I think I might like my role as a Weepy Old Lady better than Olivia in the short film we did with Drama Club.  No offense to the writer at all.  It's just my opinion because she was least like me.  But then again, I'm not very good at playing silly, boy-obsessed girls.  But I think I know what my strengths are in characters and my weaknesses in them.  I like funny, crazy people.  But even when I think back to the days when I was playing Littlest Pet Shop with my sisters, I was always a crazy bad guy.  Often a cat.  But enough of that.

Ouch My Head

Or more like my mouth!  My braces got adjusted yesterday and now my mouth is angry and happy at the same time.  It's angry mostly because it's tired of it's teeth getting pulled into place but it's happy because it knows that in July, it won't have to deal with braces anymore...just retainers.  and now it's angry again.  Oh well...

I want to talk about stuff but nothing interesting is going on.  Like stuff is going on but it just isn't interesting blogging material.

I learned about coordinate plains in algebra two this week.  But, like I said, uninteresting, unnecessary, unwanted information.

I should post something interesting....

OH NO COSMO JUST SWALLOWED THE USS APPLE PIES!!!

No...that's not interesting...

OH NO COSMO TAUGHT A LLAMA TO DRIVE!

That never happened.

OH NO COSMO HAS MATH TOMORROW!!!!

True.  But nobody cares about that and it's completely boring to think about.

OH NO COSMO'S NAIL POLISH IS CHIPPING OFF!!!!!

Not interesting.  But interestingly enough, my cupcakes are what chipped off some yesterday and now they look like I took a bite out of them.

Yesterday, (all my troubles seemed so far away) I was looking at my journal that I journaled last year during the course of Drama Camp and I do that on occasion because I miss it sometimes and I forget some of what happened.  Like the dances we did or the games we played.

I also finished making all my Power Points automatic.  I wish I could put them here for you to watch with the music but I can't really do that.  So I'll just post the pictures from Mean.  Never mind it's being stupid again.  Pictures hate me.  AH! Here we go!  It likes me.

Darn it hates me again.  I'll post another post with more pictures later.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love to read!!!!

Okay, so I'm reading The Help as you all know, but now it's getting so GOOOOOD and all I want to do is read and now I keep losing track of the days because it's all I've been doing besides blogging and reading my friend's blog and....Yeah.

So I wanted to make a list of the characters from my favorite to my least favorite.  If you haven't read the book or seen that movie, you might as well just skip this post because you'll have no idea what I'm talking about.  I also suggest you read the book.  So you will understand it's awesomeness.  If you did read the book but didn't like it and are tired of me yacking on about it, go follow a different blog.  This is my blog.  Nacho blog.  Okay?  Just getting things clear.  Clear as mud.  But this is nacho mud so...I don't know where I'm going with this so I'll just shut up now...
....
....
....
NEVER!  I SHALL NEVER BE QUIET!!! MUA HA HAAAAA!!!

anyhow:

10 is the worst; 1 is the best:

10: Gretchen (who wasn't in it very long; thank goodness!)
9. Hilly
8. Elizabeth
7. Stuart
6. Celia
5. Johnny 
4. Mrs. Skeeter
3. Minny
2. Aibaline (ARGH WHY CAN'T I SPELL)
1. Mae Mobley

Ha ha! and my favorite character ends up being the baby.  Get over it.  There are other characters that I liked or didn't like, I just didn't feel like putting more than ten characters up there.  Plus, there are probably thirty other characters in the book but they aren't quite as important or something.  I think I'm just lazy.  Mozilla is having issues again with words.  It underlined "ink" in the work "think".

I had a BLT for lunch.  Except it didn't have tomato and it had cheese on it and it had mustard and mayonnaise.  So really it was just a sandwich with bacon.  But who cares?  It's nacho lunch.

I miss people.  People from Drama Club, people from my youth group who are actually nice but haven't been there, people I haven't seen since 2010, people I haven't seen because they went back to Michigan... Lot's of people.

LoL!   I watched the Twilight Zone last night.  It was this guy who traveled back in time to his childhood and he was chasing his 10 year old self.  Then I said that he was running just to catch himself; referencing the Mark Schultz song: Running just to Catch Myself.  But I also referenced the song when I told my mom that I had spilled coffee down my whitest shirt.  Which probably isn't true since I have whiter shirts but, still it was just funny.

I feel like this post should be longer.  Or I should post more often.  But you probably aren't interested in what I'll say since I'll probably just type up a whole ton of meaningless words.  It would probably sound like:

BUSCANDO NEMO?  I like bananas.  I know that mangoes are sweet.  NYAN CAT!!!! Always bring a banana to a party.  Crazy?  I was crazy once!  You're the banana king Charlie!!!!!  Mulan is the queen of Japan!  I'M GOING BANANAS!!! No more pineapples will you be driving me!  I think I'll try defying McCavity! I like to eat, eat, eat, ooples and banoonoos

Point proven. I could go on.  and on.  andonandonandonandonandonandon.  Would you like that?

Hmm.... this post is too short.  PICTURE TIME!!!!

I think that's enough of The Beatles.  Hey, I can't help it.  These are old but now that I'm reading a book that takes place in the 60's I had to pull them up again.  And no I'm not obsessed.  I USED to be.  But I got over that years ago.  Now I'm just obsessed with Mark Schultz and even that's not very bad compared to my Taylor Swift obsession last year.  Or my Demi Lavoto and Selena Gomez obsession the year before that.  Or the Hairspray obsession the year before that!  See, I'm getting better.  I think I'm just obsessed with music period.  But I wouldn't be me if I wasn't obsessed with some sort of music or movie.

more pictures:

cool aren't they?  I love cats.  I should make more of these.  They were fun.  Well, maybe I'll go do something fun now.  This post is too long now.  It was too short before though.  But I don't care.  I think I have longer posts.

Poetry at its Best and Craziness at its Worst

I'm kidding about the at it's best part and mostly all of the poems I write, I have tune in my head or an idea for a song.  But I can't really sing my poems to you because it always sounds different from how it sounds in my head.  I just wanted to write a song/poem-ish thing so I did.

See my hands

They’re shaking

See my heart

It’s breaking

I try to hold on

But then you’re gone

Where are you

What do I do

When the sky above

Is crashing through

Are you really there

When nobody cares

You hear my prayers

And my heart that tears

Hold me in your arms

Keep me safe from all who harm me

Hold me in your arms

When I fear that you have gone from me

And when the day keeps dragging on

And when the world is going wrong

And I ache for that new dawn

Just hold me

Lord you hold me

See my face

It’s crestfallen

Hear my voice

It tries calling

I try to listen

But you’re missing

Where are you

What do I do

When I’m feeling

Oh so blue

Are you really here

To listen to my fears

As you draw me near

And wipe away my tears

Hold me in your arms

Help me see the love around me

Hold me in your arms

Help me feel a little more free

The world is filled with sunshine

But I just see the moon

Gently hold your hand in mind

I know the sun will come out soon

But for now

Just hold me

See?  It looks like a song right?  Or sort of.  It's probably not actually as good as you were expecting.  But I like to rhyme things.  I don't know, but I think it's better than the Black Cat song I was trying to write in my head.  Especially since I forgot most of it once I thought of this but I'm certain if I sit down and think long enough, I could come up with something just as good.

So I have a lot to blog about.  But too much for one post.

Okay, so my brother quit gymnastics yesterday and he's joining Drama Club.  It's really exciting news for Muppet but most of his friends at gymnastics didn't even see it coming.  They were very surprised that he would quit after so many years.  But he's not into his work as much as he used to.  I grew out of gymnastics around his very same age.  I quit two years ago because I was bored of homeschool gymnastics and I didn't feel like I was excelling much at all in it since I hate doing anything that requires me to be upside-down and I was also sick of the headaches that I got from tumbling.  But my brother was different; or more like his reasons were different.  He just was tired of always being busy and never being able to see his family.

Another thing that's happening is that my family is planning on a vacation this summer in which we get to drive up north to see some friends that we haven't seen since January.  I can't wait!

So I thought that wouldn't fit in a blog post, but it did.  Oh well.

Oh, so I remember back in the beginning of this blog I was all like "I'm going to call my sister at college Fluff!"  but I never did.  Because I don't like fluff.  Like the kind that floats in the air and lands in your mouth and you try ripping your tongue out just so that you can pull a tiny piece of fluff out.  And then people look at you funny and say something like "Are you all right?" as if you really did pull your tongue out.  Then you blame the cat for making you look stupid in front of everyone.  But I don't hate my sister because that would be mean and not to mention a lie.  An obvious lie since when she comes home and then a week later has to leave again I'm shouting "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COME BACK!!! I NEEEEEED YOU!"  Well, not really that much, but come on!  I'm an actress!  I need to be dramatic especially since it's been like a month since I've had lines to spit out.  Now I'm sitting here relieving myself from the stress of sitting here doing nothing but writing that I'm sitting here relieving myself from my stress while sitting here and stress and sitting and sitting on stress and poems and sitting and nothing and sitting on stress and doing nothing and...

AHHHHHHHH!  My train fell into my waffles and drowned in a tree called Blarney were the lagoon consumed the tissue paper making a Jack a lantern out of the pit in my stomach and calling for the fish that shouts out "taboo taboo" and Lady Ga Ga appears shouting "achoo achoo" and a giant ant farm explodes and Phineas and Ferb eat Perry the Platypus with chips and icecream in a classic dragster from Mario Kart Wii and then the rooster crows nine times signaling that Peter was supposed to eat his mashed potatoes earlier than six o clock in the morning of Christmas day 2143 when a colossal sock monkey named Stuff appeared and went up the hill and came down with all the bananas where Snow white and the seven giants went on a mission to capture a fortune teller by the name of Ray and make him eat all the sandpaper.  The end.

Now I must go do something besides blog before something worse pops into my mind.  And yes I know the font is purple.  I wanted it that way.

Rolling in the Deee-eee-eeep and Video Game Images

The last Adele song that I know and it's right here.  Or more like above here since the word here is not actually where the music video is but...

So I finished my school for today (or what I can do of it right now since my sister has the book that I'm supposed to read a Ronald Reagan speech from).

I kept checked my email today and then realized that I wouldn't have anything new since Muppet is at some Drama Meeting that only a few of us drama people are going to (excluding me).  Muppet, her mother, her friend, Al, and our director were the only people at the meeting.  Apparently their talking about this summer's musical.

I feel like listening to good music now... Ah, Matt Maher!  That's good music!  Or at least to me.  Jesusfreakhidout.com isn't very fond of him.  Hence the fact that they only show two of his CD's.  My family owns three of them.  It shows Empty and Beautiful and Alive Again but it's missing his newest CD.  It also does not show the newest Francesca Battistelli CD or anything from Mike's Chair.  But they have the lyrics for Jamie-Grace's EP on their website.  Seriously?  And you don't have the newest Francesca CD?

Anyways.

I'm trying to animate a cat as shown below in these two pictures:

and yes I know that Mario is in the picture here.  He was mainly there for sizing the cat correctly.  As you can see, I have set pictures for the cat walking, moving its head, sitting, and jumping.  I feel like I could make a video game with these images.  I've tried making video-game-like images before as shown below in these Blob Adventure games:

These I never attempted animating because I don't really have a real way to animate image beyond scrolling through images on Microsoft PowerPoint which is what I've been using for the cat.  But it's still cool.

One day I'll make a videogame and I'll be famous and...Yeah, that will happen.  Just like it'll happen that I'll have 1,000 followers on this blog and lets not even mention numbers of Facebook friends or friends in general.  Oh well, I'm pretty happy sitting here creating junk on Paint that only I look at ever.  But I think that the junk is pretty.  Look a lady with a cat!  That one's old.  I don't think I've drawn something like that in years!

Look!  They even have different hair and the cats have different fur colors!

So now you know what I've been up to, I'm going to go do something fun for a while...
