Camping This Weekend...

Went from :P to :\ to :| to :) to :O to X,P to X( to (N N N> Xo to :)

Here's why:  Rain x mosquitoes + (-shoes) + (-tent) = Daddy...can we go home now?

Except then I wanted to stay because people are nice although some of my surroundings were questionable.  See, we thought that the tents would work and thought that the water would stay out but...No.  Our tents flooded and we couldn't go anywhere while the storm was down-pouring.  So I was joking with the two girls in my tent about the duck from the duck song living in our tent and how we didn't having any grapes to give him because the rain killed them.

After a time the rain lightened and we ran for our lives and hid in the bathrooms until stopped enough for us to run to the rec building without getting drenched.  All of the other kids came there too so we could regroup with the adults about where people would sleep.  I ended up sleeping in a semi-dryish tent.

I'll probably tell you more later but I want to read the Scarlet Letter right now.

Well, as for school...

Bleh.  And it's even more irritating that my science (later on) looks like another math book.  I think they pay people to sneak in uninteresting subjects into other uninteresting subjects to make the beholder even more uninterested.  Might I use uninterested once more?  I thought not.

Well, on the subject of words, I think it's stupid that my Total Language Plus book would give me two words that I think most people should know: indubitably and commiserate.  Like, seriously, I'm reading the Scarlet letter, I'm certain there are plenty of other unknown words to use...Like phantasmagorical!  I just had to look that one up.  Look, the definition is:

"A series or group of strange or bizarre images seen as if in a dream"

I gave that one to you on a silver plate just in case you don't feel like looking such a large word up.  My school is a lot of reading right now.  I'll be getting into writing essays, papers or what not later.  I don't mind writing papers very much.  I love to write.  But the only reason I don't like writing for school is there are so many boundaries.  Most of them I understand and they do make my paper look professional but sometimes I think that too many rules boxes you in along with chaining up your creative use.  The best papers, books, or essays are the ones that look like the person enjoyed writing them.  If the author enjoyed writing that document, then the enthusiasm really shows in their work.  I can re-read things I've written and tell when I was bored with my idea and wanted to stop writing.  I can also tell when I loved writing a specific part so much that the details are vivid and the colors are clear and the emotion is beautifully shown.  I love to write because I love showing people my thoughts bright and clearly as if they were thinking it instead of me.  I love the kind of books where you can just picture everything as if in a movie but even deeper because then you can feel what the other character is feeling.

That's part of the reason why all of those books with the winding and confusing words aggravate me.  I read slowly to begin with and it's even harder for me to have to stop for every sentence and think about what it means.  Which is okay to a point, but if I'm sitting there for an entire five minutes and still don't get it, it's a waste of time to read.  But I do like to stop while reading books and just reflect on everything I've read so far.  Just be in the moment with your favorite characters.

I think I've blogged enough about writing.  If I don't stop now, I'll never stop writing about writing and books and writing books.  In fact I probably could write a book on writing books!  I should stop before you get too confused and decide to read some other person's blog.

So apparently Taylor Swift is making a new album called Red.  The lead single (according to often inaccurate Wikipedia) isn't as good as some of her other songs.  Well, I don't really care because how good a song is is a complete opinion.  But I haven't heard anything new lately so I don't know what her new stuff sounds like.

I was thinking of posting music since that's something I haven't done in a while.  There's this one song by J.J. Heller I like but it's not on the album that jesusfreakhideout shows.  I was going to look it up but I think I forgot what the title is.

Well this post has been long enough.  So bye-bye kitten pie!

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.

Hi.  For some reason the font is being funny.

I want to post another music video:

Ta-da!  I'm amazing like that.  WHAT'S WITH THIS FONT?

Hi.  Is that better?  I'm going to post some pictures now too.

What the???????? Blogger doesn't like me today.  It won't post anything else.  Let's try again.  

There we go. Wow.  The font.  It's weird. Look!  Pokemon!

 Yes seriously.  Cosmo needed to be included in the making of these Pokemon.  AUGH! THE FONT!

Now stay like that.  Thank you.  Ooh.  It's thundering.  I should go read.  It's the best weather to do so.  I like the font being purple.  I should label my last post.  and this one.  But I'm craving books right now. 

Here comes the Sun!

Ha ha!  That reminds me of this one sign I saw once!  It was sign for a church of some sort and it said:

"Weather forecast: God reigns, the Son shines"

So adorable.

So I saw Les Miserables last night.  We got the DVD from Netflix and watched half of it Thursday and the other half tonight.  It was spectacular!  Three words, Best Musical Ever!  The characters, cast, music... It was just awesome to watch it.

Blip Blip Blip Blip Blip Blip Blip Blip

Yeah, so I'm bored.  But I shouldn't feel bored.

I'm trying to finish reading The Help and label my blog posts.  I'm sure you've noticed that.  If you haven't, it's not that important of information.

I've also been writing, but you knew that.  Oh!  Today is May the fourth be with you!  We were planning on watching the third Star Wars movie...but our plans changed.  Yes, I still have not seen the third Star Wars movie.  I was too young to watch it the last time we tried to watch it together.  I think I could have handled it but I was just tired of my mom covering my eyes for half of it.  I want to watch the Dick Van Dyke Show.  Or Fractured Fairy tales.  But those are the shows that nobody else in my family likes except for my mother and me.

I feel like posting something funny I wrote.  It's from the story Diamond Gems that I was writing:

“Hey there, grizzly bear!” said the voice of a boy.  Both girls jumped, not expecting his intrusion.

“Harvey!  Don’t sneak up on me like that!” Diamond said, her face turning red.

“Jeez, sorry!” he said, “I just came to say hello to my favorite gem.” He puckered his lips for a quick kiss.  Diamond pushed his face away from hers.

“I don’t think so mister!  You know the rules at Youth Group.  No purpling.”

“Goodness.  Do you have to follow all of the rules?  Why not color outside the lines?”

“Maybe if the crayon was only pink; but my crayon isn’t going anywhere near your crayon and we both know that.”

“Okay, alright! I get it!  You don’t have to be so graphic about it!”

LOL.  Isn't it funny?  Okay, it probably isn't that funny...But I thought it was hilarious.

So I get to see Muppet tomorrow.  We're going to have a sleepover party thing and then in the morning I'm going to her church.  I guess she wanted to get back at me for when I brought her to my church.  But I probably posted that before.

But she's going to paint my nails like butterflies and cupcakes.  So I'll have to bring my camera to take pictures of them.  I don't think I've posted any pictures of my nails.  You probably are curious about how some of my nails turned out.  I can't show you all of them now because some photos are still on my camera but I can show you some of them. 

Let's see...

 Black and white stripes

Rainbow

 Black.  Notice that my toes are the same color and pattern.

Red and black french manicure thing

Red and black french manicure with white stripes

Awesome blue toes.  I think it's actually two different blues on top of each other

 Rainbow nails with black french manicure and rainbow toes with various intersecting stripes.  I ruined my right big toe's nail polish in this picture.  All of it was done by my friend Muppet's steady hand.  I had cute little presents for nails and a holly berry for Christmas on my nails.  I kept ruining my nails that night because we were watching the Nutcracker Prince that night and I kept falling asleep during that movie.

I'm going to Bodyflow with my family tonight.  YES!  My sister from college is HOME.  After that, I'm going to go spend some time at adoration.  Because you can't adore God enough, you know!  It's nice.  It's quiet and you can reflect on the past, your day, your family, your friends, you enemies.  It's kind of like meditating except the Lord is right there on the alter listening to your prayers.  Not that he isn't there any other time.  Because God is always listening.  I love Jeremiah 29:11-13.  Look it up for yourself.  Such inspiring words.

Have a Sunny day!

This is the Stuff

This is living proof that I have gotten the hang of the Microsoft paint on this laptop computer of mine.  Yeah, my dad managed to make me happy by making my computer not only work, but he made it so that I have two computer monitors like I did last year.

I don't remember if I've complained about my computer on my blog because everything I say on the computer kind of gets jumbled in my head.  In case I didn't say anything (I probably did, I just don't remember), my computer, as in Cosmo the Pluffkin's computer, was not working.  It was, like, dying and stuff and it wasn't good, so my dad managed to fix it (I don't have a clue how, I'm not really that techno).  That was the good part.  The other good part is that I didn't lose any of my documents and now my computer has a newer set up to it and there's a clock in both corners of on of the screens.  It's pretty cool.

Also pretty cool, is that I had yet another epic sleepover with Muppet; this time, for her birthday.  We stayed up late, but not until four 'o clock like usual, watching movies, surfing the internet, laughing, talking, baking, and basically partying the night away.  It was a whole lot of fun.  We watched The Big Year on TV.  It's a comedy.  It was about birdwatching and it was interesting, for you out there craving good movies to see.

We were going to watch Avatar, but after The Big Year we decided to have 'present time'.  Muppet got a new Barbie, the first Edge Chronicles book, and Lady and the Tramp on Blue-ray.  So guess what we watched...Lady and the Tramp.  I swear I have not seen that movie in forever.  I remembered the dogs, but I couldn't remember the storyline.

Later we colored in one of Muppet's coloring books while listening to Jungle Jam.  If you don't know what Jungle Jam is, it's kind of like the life lessons of Vegietales combined with animals except on a radio show.  We always skip over the songs on it, though, because they are incredibly annoying.

Monday was another Confirmation meeting in which nobody would talk to me no matter how hard I tried.  Today I have Zumba with my ultimate favorite instructor in the universe.  Tomorrow...Hmmm....What could possibly be tomorrow....It'll be the twenty-ninth.  I'm trying to think of what could possibly happen tomorrow...  Ha ha! I'm kidding.  Tomorrow is Muppet's fourth and 16th birthday!
 Happy Birthday to my favorite Muppet!

LOL!  Isn't he cute?  You'll never guess who made him!  Me of course!  Cosmo the Pluffkin made him!  I can't wait!  She's going to wear this adorable new shirt she has that says, "It's finally my birthday" and has a little frog wearing a birthday hat.

Then she gets to sing the song I came up with:

Happy Birthday to me
I'm no longer three...

well that's all I came up with but then it could go:

Now that I'm four
you'll love me even more.

Yeah.  Then I start rhyming in my head again.

Ooh!  My sister is baking cupcakes for Muppet and she let me lick the beaters!  They were full of frosting yummy-ness.

So I have this song stuck in my head:

Beautiful
By: MercyMe

Days will come when you don’t have the strength
When all you hear is you're not worth anything
Wondering if you ever could be loved
And if they truly saw your heart, they’d see too much

You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred
You are His
You’re beautiful

Praying that you have the heart to fight
‘Cause you are more than what is hurting you tonight
For all the lies you’ve held inside so long
They are nothing in the shadow of the cross

You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred
You are His
You’re beautiful

Before you ever took a breath
Long before the world began
Of all the wonders He possessed
There was one more precious
Of all the earth and skies above
You’re the one He madly loves
Enough to die

You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
In His eyes

Good song.  On Jesus Freak Hideout it has this quote from MercyMe about the song:

"This song was originally written with all of the band's daughters in mind, but the further I got into the lyrics the more I realized the message was something that everyone could relate to. It basically speaks of how the world says we are never good enough, yet Christ saw something beautiful in us worth dying for." - MercyMe

I'm going to, hopefully, watch some of the Ninjago TV series with my brother soon.  Oh, it's time!  Apparently they're funny.
