Why?

SURPRISE! :P

Yep.  H, her sisters (there were four), and a couple of Muppet's other friends threw a surprise party for Muppet.  SO epic.  The theme: Blues Clues.  DON'T JUDGE.  If you do, I'll send my cat to your house to sit on your feet for several hours until your feet fall into such a deep sleep, you'll wish you hadn't said anything lol JK.

J and I were invited to the party because the others knew that Muppet knew us and that I'm her friend.  WHY would I turn down a surprise party?  I haven't so far.  Especially one for my bestest friend in the entire world.

So we went shopping for a gift for Muppet at Walmart and found some of Sally Hansen's magnetic nail polish and I was thinking, "this has Muppet written all over it" So we got it.  Because it looked awesome.  I don't know what Chalkboard Nails would have to say about it's quality, but I know that blog uses Sally Hansen a lot.  But not as much as China Glaze lol.

We go to the party which takes place at one of Muppet's friend's house and help set up.  I brought my MP3 player to listen to later and my camera to take pictures...not that I'm good at taking pictures without them becoming blurry.  But some of H's younger siblings took pictures...not that I've looked at them...and I'm sure Muppet's friend will be posting some on Facebook that she took with her phone.  But enough about pictures!

H and her older sister (but not her oldest sister) make macaroni and cheese but dye the pasta blue.  But by the time they added the cheese; when they had dumped the processed cheese into they blue noodles they turned this frightening green color.  There was also a pot of blue Alfredo which, in my opinion, looked slightly more appetizing.  Not to say that it wasn't green, but it looked slightly more blue.  It matched my green fork perfectly, though!  There was also plain, uncolored hot dogs, garlic toast, and blue applesauce.

We then came up with game ideas since there were no activities planned.  Some of my faves were spoons and telephone pictionary.  Not that we actually played telephone pictionary.  But still!  I think it's an awesome game.

So, then Muppet finally arrived and we all hid.  I allowed H and her sisters to pop out first because, as I figured, they probably would be more expected to be there than me and J.  But when I popped out, Muppet was so excited!  Then she started tearing up when she saw all of the Blues Clues stuff everywhere.  It was AWESOME.

Okay so I'm going to split this post in half because there's a lot to say about the surprise party and I have to go to a Mary Kay thing this morning (not that I'm big on makeup) and then I'm going to this awesome bistro for tea (not that I'm big on tea).  It's a complete girls day (well, sorta) for me.  My mother, J, and I will be popping in and out of our house a lot today and I'm not sure when we'll be leaving.

Have a wonderful Saturday, kittens!

I wonder what would happen....

If I sprayed my cat with catnip.... I think she would go bananas trying to play with herself and she would be drooling everywhere and be SO happy...probably for the rest of her life.  lol.  THAT would be funny to watch.  I would YouTube it and then post it on Facebook and get rich selling Cosmo the crazy catnip cat merchandise lol.

MWA HA HA HA!!!!

Figuring out Blogger

So I figured out how to follow people's blogs that have tumblr.  So now, now only am I following them, but now they know I'm following them.  If you know what I'm saying.  Now I can receive updates about other people's blogs!  Besides Muppet.  Who has had the funniest blog titles recently.

So I accomplished something on Facebook, that's that I friended two of my cousins and their parents in one day.  I was surprised since my mom told me that my aunt doesn't go on very often.  Anyways!

I've been writing lately.  But I told you that.  But I want you to tell me if this first paragraph is the slightest bit interesting to you:

It was a cold December evening the day I first moved here.  Florida was gorgeous in the winter.  There was no snow, no red and gold leaves to rake, the sky was crystal clear with only one cloud marbled into the blue of the sky.  I liked it.

What do you think?  My brother doesn't like it.  But Muppet loves it.  Which doesn't surprise me that she would.  And I guess it didn't surprise me that my brother didn't like it.  They have two completely different tastes in books.  If any of my followers actually like that first paragraph, I might post some more.  Muppet has read a lot of what I've already written so she probably doesn't care either way since she knows I'll just send her more.  But I can't do that with all of my followers.  But that's what Blogger is for!

Oh!  Guess what guess what!  My sister came home from college for the ENTIRE summer!!  Oh my goodness I'm so happy she's home!  I still can't get used to her being home.  Just like I can't get used to her NOT being home.  When she's gone, I put six forks at the table at meal time; which isn't correct since there really are only five of us when she's at college.  But when she's home, I put five table settings!  But doing the dishes is a whole ton easier with her being here to take care of the dish drainer.

Okay so I can't wait until next week either because I will be COMPLETELY DONE with this history book!!!  YES!  No more ten page long lessons, no more ten page long speeches, no more three page papers on the French Revolution.  I don't know if I ever even finished that paper.  But my mom said I could stop writing papers if I would do a Total Language Plus on The Hiding Place.

Now I'm going to start using labels on my blog.  I can almost here a joke coming up, "Don't stereotype your blog!" LOL not that kind of label!

I get to go to Zumba tonight!  I want to continue writing awesomeness in the story I'm constructing.  I don't know what to say about my story.  I think I made it more intense than my other stories but it still seems to have a much more plausible plot line.  So I think it might work.

Oh!  check this out:

I run outside while clutching that stuffed animal in my arms as if it were 24 karat gold and worth something.  To me it did.  I fly up the steps to Oliver’s house and I knock on the door with all the force and power that God gave me.  I’m bawling my eyes out waiting for Oliver to answer the door.  But when the door opens, it’s not Oliver.  It’s his father.

Crazy isn't it?  Not as crazy as the last two stories were.  Just crazy as in crazy-awesome.  The paragraph before that is really great, but I don't know if I want to post it until my followers answer my question:

Do you want to read more? 

Happy Easter to All and to All a Good Night!

Happy Easter!

So I was going to blog today which I obviously am.  I wanted to blog these Matt Maher videos my mom sent to me:

So I tried posting this before but Blogger was having issues with me logging out from Gmail and then it ruined my post so I had to delete the last three videos and replace them.  So it should work this time because I have not logged out of Gmail.

I am excited to say that my Easter has be fabulous.  I got a brand new hat!!  I'm so happy!  I have plenty of Easter candy to munch on and I had a lovely traditional meal (in my family at least) of eating lamb and lasagna on Easter with all of our family.

I wish a happy Easter to all and God bless you all.  I hope you have a great Easter.  I'm wearing my hat.  That means my Easter is perfect.  Lasagna, candy, hats, and a whole hour of Facebook...How could life get better?  Oh, wait.  I just realized plenty of reasons.  But it's good enough.  I'm going to have a ball to day!

CAT ATTACK!!!

Follow the fuzzy gray kitties!

Yeah so I wanted to throw in the picture of the pink clouds because they were pretty and random and pretty random and mostly because I could.  The pictures of sunny is kind of random too.  I love the picture of Cosmo reading the Bible, though.

I posted pictures of cats on facebook a while ago.  These are only a few of my favorites.  I posted like, what, 120 pictures of them on my wall.  Yeah, so, I love cats.  What's new?

Blogging on Blogs About Blogging

So I needed to thank my friend R for giving me the link to her blog.  Or rather, giving it to my mom so that she could give it to me.  I would have gotten it myself, but that would be breaking my fast from Facebook.  Plus I don't have her email.  Wait, that's a lie, I probably do have it.  Somewhere.  In the huge file named Drama Club, Drama Crew on my gmail account.  I was going to thank R by posting on her blog, but I don't know how to make Blogger work with Tumblr.  Which is why I'm not technically following her blog.  My sister whose at college would know how to do it.

Oh darn!  My sister at college isn't at college anymore!  She's not even in the same state as me anymore.  She went up north for some diplomacy class in Washington DC.  I am so jealous.  Or not.  Because it's school.  And she has to wear fancy suits and make up.  I don't like make up.  Nor is my etiquette good.  Or my grammar.  Or my spelling.  I would flunk.  Basically, I just want to go to DC and see all the fancy shmancy museums up there.  I'm certain you have to wear a suit just to enter those museums.

So, I have breaking news that should have been in a couple earlier blog posts.  That's that I told my mom that I have a crush.  I thought she would be angry or something.  But apparently my mother was happy.  So now I'm blogging about it because it probably won't matter anymore that I like a guy since he's going off to college soonishly.  Oh well, that means he'll get smart and stuff.  And probably forget about me.  That's life for you, don't expect anything or else you'll be disappointed.  Then you have the saying that one of the BodyFlow instructors said once.  It was probably just because the next track was abs, but I thought it was a great saying in all areas of life:

"If it were easy, you would be disappointed."

I wish he had a Facebook or that I knew his email or phone number or SOMETHING.  But I don't.  I could pray about it.  But I already have.  I asked my mom about it.  She suggested sending him a card.  That's nice.  Only I don't know what his address is.  Even if I lose him, there is one thing I must remember:

There we go.  That was close! Blogger started pitching a fit when I asked it, politely, to put that picture up.  So yeah.  Basically that's it.  And R posted on Facebook once:

"When you're drowning, remember that your lifeguard walks on water."  Best quote ever.  She is so inspirational.  She is the best person I ever friended on Facebook.  I would say Muppet is the best, but obviously if I didn't have Facebook we wouldn't miss out on any of our deep heart to heart conversations since most of them occur over email.  Plus I'm fasting.  When I went on yesterday, I spent five minutes on Muppet's wall and twenty minutes on R's wall.  She has so much to say.  And all of what she says is so good and so filled with God.  She's just amazing.

And Muppet is too.  Don't get me wrong.  I wouldn't have half the conversations with her that I do if she weren't.  But really, if I quote anybody on my blog, it's probably going to be R.

October Baby, Baby Showers, and Big Black Boots

I wanted to put Broken and Beautiful on my blog but I can't find the version of the song that I want.

So I can't seem to put music from my computer on here either so you are stuck without that song and you are stuck with only lyrics and the option that YOU NEED TO LOOK UP BROKEN AND BEAUTIFUL!  No, I am not shouting or demanding it be done.  I'm using caps lock and encouraging you to listen to it.  Mark Schultz is an amazing and inspiring song writer.  He has the most amazing voice too.

There’s a businessman
There’s a widowed wife
There’s a smiling face with a shattered life
There’s a teenage girl with a choice tomake
It’s crowded here in church today

And the preacher says as the sermon ends
Please close your eyes and bow your heads
Is there anyone in need of prayer
Jesus wants to meet you here
‘cause we all fall short
We all have sinned
But when you let
God’s Grace break in…

(Chorus)
It’s beautiful
Beautiful
Come as you are
Surrender your heart
Broken and beautiful

Well he’d never been to church before
But he came today as a last resort
His world was crashing in
And he was suffocating in his sin

But tears ran down
As hope rushed in
He closed his eyes
Raised his hands
Worshiping the God who can
Bring him back to life again

(Chorus)

Cause there’s nothing more beautiful to God
Than when his sons and daughters come
Broken
Alleluia
Alleluia
Come as you are
Alleluia
Alleluia
Come as you are

(Chorus)

Alleluia
Alleluia
Come as you are
(Come as you are)
Surrender your heart
Broken and beautiful

Alleluia
Alleluia
Come as you are
(Come as you are)
Surrender your heart
Broken and beautiful

Okay so that  was off subject.  My cousin is going to have a baby so of course, I got invited to her baby shower as well as my sister who's not at college and my mom since we're her family.  It was nice because I got to see my cousin's sister (who of course is my cousin as well) and their mom.

Later we saw October Baby at the Cobb theater.  Let me tell you, that movie is worth seeing in a big expensive theater.  It's inspiring.  I won't spoil too much; not more than what they say on Joy FM about it.  It's about this girl who collapses on stage and finds out the truth about herself.  The truth isn't always easy though.  She goes on a trip to find out the truth and the whole truth about who she is.

I almost cried during that movie.  But I didn't.  I teared up.  Which shows how emotional it was to me.  It is definitely a must-see.

Sorry, I'm getting distracted by the Mark Schultz CD I put on.  He's a really good artist.  Just saying.  I love people who write stories within their songs.  He might pop up on my blog more.  I think I put the lyrics to one of his songs in an older post.

Okay, so after the movie, my sister, mom and I went to Kohl's and I bought two new pairs of shoes.  Or should I say, one pair of awesome shoes and a pair of BIG BLACK BOOTS!!! My first pair!  I'm so happy.

 I'm going to go on Facebook since it's Sunday so I get to break my fast from not doing Facebook.  Easter is next week which makes me excited because it has been sad not being able to post on my friend's wall.

Now that Mozilla Firefox works again, I can blog normally

Yeah so an unfinished Windows Vista update occurred so Mozilla wouldn't open for me.  I had to use Internet Explorer and, I guess you can say that me and Internet Explorer don't get along well together, since on my Grandparent's computer it refuses to let Gmail work and on this computer, it is obstinate about letting me look at my blog or Facebook.  So, Mozilla is my friend since EVERYTHING works on it.  Plus, Mozilla instantly spell checks what I write.  This way my blog posts have less mistakes.

So, music...

That my friend is Jamie-Grace.  My dream is that she'll follow my blog.  She's so cool.  TobyMac is awesome too!  But I'm sure I've said that before.

I GET TO FILM TOMORROW!  Hooray!  I get to be in my first film!  I get to be one of the main characters in it.  So, I'm nervous about remembering my lines.  I've only done stage performances before, and I love the stage.   But I might like filming better since, if I mess up, I can be filmed again.  It's unpredictable about how this will turn out.  Oh cool!  I love that song!

So, YouTube is stupid and doesn't have Unpredictable.  I'll settle for this Francesca Battistelli song instead.

Mostly because technology drives me crazy.

Oh look!  My favorite Nyan Cat video!

Muppet showed me it on Thursday when I was waiting for my newly nail-polished nails to dry.  Now my nails look like ladybugs.

My brother had a gym competition on Friday and won fourth over all in the state on pummel.  It was cool.  Then I had a fit because I lost my pen in the great unknown and then got home and realized I had it all along.  I hate that.  So anyways.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW!!! AND FILMING!!!  I feel so lucky to be in a film for some reason.  Even though it's not that big of a deal.  Like, people filmed me doing the Murder Mystery play last year and it's not on DVD or something.  It wasn't that big...so will this.  But I think it's cool that I'm going to be in an actual movie type thing.  With Muppet.  And this amazing girl who posts amazing things on Facebook.

Like: "A real girl isn't perfect.  But a perfect girl isn't real."

That one is one of my favorites.  Well, I have to go, I can't possibly blog ALL day.

Whiskers on Kittens--My Favorite Thing

Well, obviously.  You can tell since when I uploaded some of my pictures on Facebook one-hundred and two of them were of kitties and less than fifty of my pictures were of my friends.  Speak of the Pluffen, I get to go on Facebook tomorrow.  I gave up Facebook for lent, except for on Sundays.  So, since I only get an hour of computer time on the weekend, I will probably only use half of the hour on Facebook.

Since the title says "Kittens" I'll put some more paint pics.

 Yeah, he's staring at you; and NOBODY ELSE.

 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! SO MANY KITTIES!

 I love this one.  "Even in the dark you can still see the light.  It's gonna be all right."--Matt Maher

 Cosmo!

 Cosmo!

 Even MORE Cosmo!

 And my favorite cartoon cat of all time!

 HEY! This isn't Cosmo!  What is the world coming to?

 Cosmo.  Again.

 and again.

 Oh look it's Firepaw.  I almost forgot how much I loved the Warriors series! Below is his beloved Sandpaw

 Later in the book series, their names get changed to Fireheart and Sandstorm.

 COSMOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Sunny.  I was wondering where the pictures of her would come in.

 Teenage kittens!  Wait, that doesn't make any sense.

 Sunny.  Again

 Sunny plus drama equals Dramatically Cute

 I know people don't like black cat because they mean bad luck; but get over it.  They're really pretty to draw

 Sam.

 (music plays the tune of Sherry) Sunny.  Sunny kitten. Sunny.  Sunny kitten.

 More of Sunny.

Sam has and awesome tuxedo.  Real cats wear tuxedos.

That is the end of that.

So.  Since it's spring break, MY SISTER FROM COLLEGE CAME HOME!

OMG I have missed her Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.

And also since it's spring, I DON'T HAVE TO DO MATH NEXT WEEK!  Also, I GET TO (hopefully) VISIT MUPPET ON WEDNESDAY AND WE GET TO PLAY MARIO KART WII AND AWESOMENESS!

PLUS, we get to eat chocolate fondue tonight.  Fondue is Fun to do.  Kinda like that saying "Underwear is fun to wear" except "Fondue is fun to do" is WAY better.

So I recently decided there should be a Twilight spin off called First Bite.  Only to my dismay to find out that it was a completely unoriginal thought since, APPARENTLY it had been done.  Oh well.

Theories and Stories

Yes, I have theories sometimes.  Yes, I write stories sometimes.  They aren't always affective, but I come up with them all the same.

Just today, I was walking down the staircase at Lifestyles and I said that, after the squat track that the instructor did, I felt like my feet were suction cups that I had to peel off the floor just to move.  I'm still getting over the sickness I had and now the worst is over.  Now I'm just coughing occasionally.

I realized today is Valentine's day.  I don't really care about Valentines day.  Once I realized that people thought it was more than exchanging candy and happy looking cards, I stopped liking it as much.  Valentine's day for some reason is about love.  Why is it that you only have one day of love?  Isn't life about love?  If nobody had any love, we would all be killing each other and therefore die out and the human race would go extinct.

I also stopped liking Valentine's day because of some of the people at youth group.  They thought that every girl in the universe had to have a boyfriend and if you didn't, there was something wrong with you.  Nobody at youth group seemed to like me for me; it was all about the cell phones and the newest technology and, wait a second, which baseball team do you like?  Wow that's stupid.  You are so stupid! you have never had a first kiss, WHAT? you mean your parents won't let you have a facebook?  Or a Tablet?  Or an I-phone?  You have to time yourself on the computer?  Only THIRTY MINUTES?  You have to TELL your parents when you go on the computer?  What kind of sheltered homeschooler are you?  Don't homeschoolers just sit inside their boxes and write papers all day?  Don't you ever get to socialize?  Don't you have friends?  Don't you like somebody? 

Well if people would stop insulting me and actually (Lord forbid) TALK to me and be nice to me, maybe I would socialize and have friends!

Ugh.

I have Muppet.  I only need one friend....one GOOD friend.

Now that I'm done ranting about the people who think I'm weird, I wanted to show you the first chapter of my second story.  And I realized, last time, that I put the title of the story itself and not the chapter name: AMY  That's what it's called if you want to know.  This story does not have chapter titles.  It's just called

Lightswitch

If you read the first sentence of this page you might, in fact, think the story inside it was lame.  Your mothers said don’t judge a book by its cover.  So, you didn’t.  You open it to the first page and read the very first sentence and decide that reading this book is not worth all of this trouble.  You close the book so that you can play a mindless video game.  By this point you probably haven’t even read this sentence that actually begins the story inside of this book.

                The child wept over a pile of lava.

By this point you think that the book is a complete waste of time.  Not only is it boring, it also makes completely no sense.  If you are an avid reader, you will continue to read, getting more out of the story than your book-hating friend.  If you have one, anyways.  Read on, please.

                The child wept over a pile of lava.  But, the child wasn’t a child.  It was a mountain, spouting lava out of it.  Or was it?  Shelly couldn’t tell.  She crept closer to the silhouette for a better look at it.  Both of her accusations were incorrect.

The figure was a boy crying.  But, he was crying lava.  Shelly was torn between reaching out to the boy or screaming and running.  She decided on screaming when she realized the boy was stone.  She ran back to her town to tell the mayor.  But the question was: would he believe her?  The answer was no.

                Shelly sat in her room after her parents finished scolding her for (a being late for dinner (b telling tall tales to the mayor and (c for humiliating everybody, including herself, in front of the mayor.  What Shelly needed was proof of the monster she found.

                She could go and capture him and bring him home.  That wouldn’t work well, though.  Not with being grounded for two days.  In that time, the rock beast could very well have enough time to escape.  She would have to break some rules.

                That night she opened up her window and escaped from her house.  Shelly walked back to the mountains where she had found the creature.  He wasn’t there.  His giant foot prints led into a cave.  A glow protruded from the mountain.  Eyes glared at her from within the crevice.  The giant beast stood up and took a step toward her.  This was surely the end.  Or was it?

This story is much better written than the other one.  I wonder if you have noticed any similarities in the feel of the stories.  If you don't now, you will later.

Stuff--otherwise known as the giant sock monkey from Super Scribblenauts

So I'm happy because I see that my facebook friends are growing.  Oops that sounds weird.  I'm getting more everyday is what I meant.

Sorry I haven't been blogging lately, but I've been gone a lot lately.  My brother had a Gym meet. He did pretty well considering he's been sick.

Sick?  Don't get me started!  Apparently all his friends are sick.  And apparently my friend that we usually do history co-op with has and ear infection and tonsilitis.  Bleh.  Now I get to do twice as many history tests next week since they're given every time we meet.  Every?  Like Everyman?  The play?  Thank goodness I don't have to act this thing out!  Can I just say that I'm getting sick now of English literature?  I can't tell what they're trying to say!  To many Thou's and Ye's.

BODYFLOW!  I CRAVE BODY FLOW!!!  I CRAVE A LONG RELAXATION!!!

I'm better now.

Progressive dinners are fun.  you should try them sometime.  You eat your appetizer at one house and your entree at the next.  Tons of fun.

Listened to Mark Schultz again.  Or at least until my computer restarted.  Stupid updates!

Cats!  Cats are cute!  Ew cat!  Really?  You just HAD to throw up there!  Oh, well the floors need to be cleaned anyways.

Well apparently only one person comented on the last post.  I think you can guess who.  Let me tell you, last night I dreamed that twenty people commented on my post.  How was I supposed to know I had less than two?  Oh well it was Muppet so it makes up for all the posts in the world.  Plus this was only the first time and I'm like the only person to comment on Muppet's blog.  What ever.  One day I'll be rich and famous, oh wait that was my dream.  No, my dream was about Thomas the Tank Engine of all things! And I was trying to save the world from them and these people that looked like tigers and dogs and apparently they were Egyptian mummies come back to life.  But you probably don't want to hear about that.

Pluff

I'm Cosmo!  Cosmo is awesome!  That means that I am awesome.

No, I AM is awesome.  No He is AWESOME.

No, no, no, no:

GOD IS AWESOME!

That's better.

Have a random picture.  BTW.  I drew that.  It's a secret how I drew it.  My only hint: Microsoft Paint. I'm certain my current audience already knows.  But someday I'll have a million fans!  Oh never mind...
