Sorry for not posting in...forever. I've been busy playing Lego Harry Potter on my iPad. If you expect to get anything done ever don't get that game. It's kind of addicting.
In my family for Christmas we do a gift exchange. Each person picks a name and then gets a gift for that person. No one in my family is creative though so you a pretty much guarantee to get something that you write on your list. I got my brother and has his present wrapped at the beginning of November.I consider this an accomplishment because I am usually the person that leaves everything to the last minute...if it gets done at all (take every English assignment that I've been assigned...or my senior project for example). However it was the rest of my family that left Christmas shopping to the last minute. On Thursday night my dad and brother were getting presents. My brother had to go book shopping at indigo...something he should not ever have to do alone. My dad got some DS games at Zellers...it was very difficult for him to find 'Zooty Coon'. It wasn't until I told him that the game was called Zoo Tycoon that he figured out what game it was.
Then this morning my sister comes up to me as I am cleaning the basement and says 'do you know who everyone has for Christmas?" and I nod. 'Ok so you know I have you, right? where can I find the 'How I Met Your Mother' DVDs you want?"
*face palm* Did i mention we are opening presents tonight? Talk about leaving it to the last minute.
Half the fun of the gift exchange is trying to figure out who everyone has. when you do it's exciting come Christmas present opening time seeing if you are right or not. I was right and count this among the few times I am right about name draws.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
P.S. The Fault In Our Stars comes out in 15 days! EEEEEEEEE

Google Meme game
WELCOME TO THE END OF NOVEMBER!
So in my last post I said I wasnt going to post in November because of NaNoWriMo. I will jsut tell you that the novel was not written and I spent the whole month playing on my iPad. And even if it did get done no one is allowed to read it until I am done with it.
So what I did for the welcome back post is the Google Verb! Meme game. It's from a while ago so you may or may not know what it is. If you don't, click this --> derp!
So here is my google verb meme.
E needs a skatepark. the problem with having a name that is the same as a city...you end up with skateparks, regardless of the fact that you cannot skateboard.
...Wants to inspire kids to stand against cancer. Yes, I do.
...Does mean 'At The Time' in Italian. Aside from the fact that this is a super awkward sentance, its an interesting fact.
...Hates spam. No, I actually love it. It really makes my day when I see 'Hey Elora, meet hot singles in your area!' all over my inbox...it actually doesn't, hard to believe, I know. Oh man, I need a scarcasm font.
...Asks Sandra & Luke what birds are native to Canada The first part of this is 'Cameron from Elora asks...' I dont actually care what birds are native to Canada.
...Likes cute things. Cute things. CUTE THINGS! Not something awesome like Harry Potter. No cute things.
...Eats the camera. This is actually a video result. Maybe this is the cute thing I love. Interstingly enough, there are many Elora videos.

| A cute narwhal. |
...wears formal wear. And other things too. Like socks. And pants.
...Was arrested for swimming with dolphins. This is in referance to the documentary 'The Cove' in which people save dolphins. I have seen it and thought it was really well done. If you are interested in seeing it the entire thing is on YouTube in parts. I highly reccomend it. Then to lift your spirits watch 'A Very Potter Musical.'
...Loves Spyro. I don't know why, but there are a lot of things that go with my name and the game Spyro. I have never played it, no do I have the deisre, but a part of me wonders what my name has to do with it.
So thats it for my little game. Hope you enjoyed it and were baffled by all the cuteness...I was. If something tells you to do this send me a link to your post so I can read it and laugh at with you. :)
DFTBA.

I'm Baaack.
Not that I was ever really gone...but you get the point. This post is really just a heads up...I WILL NOT WRITE AT ALL IN NOVEMBER...not that I did much posting in October (sorry. I love you.). But there is a good reason for that and it is called November is NaNoWriMo and I am not only writing a book but most of my senior project...hopefully. At least 50 000 words of it.
So that is my excuse and I promise you that on the first of December you will get something. I promise you.
Also if you are wondering what my senior project is about I cant tell you. I can tell you that it is a book and that I am writing it and that it is going to be awesome but that is it. Also it will feature the word 'Giggh'.
<Giggh>
The sound somone makes in complete and utter disgust or frustration. It to be pronounced with a nice throaty 'geh' sound.
Thank you Lisa for that amazing sound.

the Good 'Ole Hockey Game
Evidently the once a week thing failed. And it's not even that I didn't have time to post. It's just that I didn't.
BUT here I am now. Posting. XD
So I went to my first flames game on Thursday and I decided that I would write about the game using everything but sight. So here goes.
Hear: People talking all around me. A constant murmer that fills the stadium. Hockey sticks being hit on the ice, begging for the puck to be shot to them. The skates, coming to a sharp quick stop. The announcer, holding contests for the fans. Win a car. Win some money. The loud buzzer that goes off when a goal is socred. The shouts and cheers from devoted fans as the puck slides into the net. The collective groan when it doesn't.
Feel: Heat on my face as tounges of flame rise up. The vibrations of the noise radiate inside me. The hard ground against my feet and the comfy chair on my back.
Smell: The greasy, over priced food, being delivered to fans. Popcorn and burgers and beer, the ulitmate hockey game food.
Taste: The mint gum, cooling the inside of my mouth with each breath in.

2 posts in a week?
Yes, you read that right. This is the SECOND POST of this week, in addition to the one that will come tomorrow beacause it is Thursday.
Anyways, I want to talk about the Wild Haggis today.
Its not a creature that many people know about, but it is there. The interesting thing about a wild haggis is that it lives on mountains and as a result the legs of the wild haggis are shortened on one side, allowing it to run fast on the mountain side away from predators. Another interesting thing is that there are two kinds of haggis, those with shorter legs on the left and with those on the right. If you capture a wild haggis and put it on solid grownd it will look lopsided, and that is because it is.Also if you pick up a wild haggis that is running clock-wise (short legs on the right) and turn it so that it is running counter clock-wise it will tumble down the mountain because of the legs thing. Which although funny would be kind of mean. A traditional wild haggis is less than a foot long and one and a half high and is covered with long brown and white hair.
I hope I have educated you in the existance of the wild haggis, and please remember that the next time you eat haggis a small mountain creature had to die...it's enough to make you a vegitarian.

First Post of The School Year.
So this is me catching up on my blogging...because not only have I not posted anything in a really long time (sorry...no excuses, I've just been lazy) but I have not read anything...sorry Cee, Cao and Kelly.
So my mom is making cookies. There is no reason for my telling you this other than I have nice delicious warm cookies that is making the house smell like molasses...also I get to eat them. You do not...well maybe you do but I don't know.
Oh man! Funniest thing just happened. My mom was like "You have to do a report on beavers and narwhals?" and I'm like "No. It's my blog." Bear in mind that this blog has been active since like...APRIL.
SO I guess its not that funny. More like a little sad for me knowing that my own mother doesn't read my blog.
So I guess thats it. Not much has happened but I just want to let you know that I am still here and still do plan on posting and HOPEFULLY I will manage to get a post up every week...like maybe Thursdays. Thursdays will be our golden days. There you go.

Tomorrow is my birthday and to celebrate I went with two of my friends to see the Glee movie...which was aswesome because who wouldn't like Darren Criss in 3D (I had to choose the Potter picture. I just had to)? But that is not the point of this story. The point of this story is I got the Unoffical Harry Potter Cookbook. And I, along sometimes with my friend Lisha are going to cook through it.
Also I signed up for nerdfighters.com. If you are on it add me and we can be friends :) If not you should.
That is all.

Words
Pal-in-drome: a word or phrase or squence that reads the same backward as forward. e.g. nurses run
So lately I have been thinking about words...because I do that and I have been thinking a lot about Palindromes and anagrams so here is a list of some of my favorite palindromes and anagrams
PALINDROMES
Madam, I'm Adam.
Was it a cat I saw?
A dan, A clan, a canal- Canada!
Anna: "Did Otto peep?" Otto: "Did Anna?" Anne, I snip a map in Sienna.
Dennis, Nell, Edna, Leon, Nedra, Anita, Rolf, Nora, Alice, Carol, Leo, Jane, Reed, Dena, Dale, Basil, Rae, Penny, Lana, Dave, Denny, Lena, Ida, Bernadette, Ben, Ray, Lila, Nina, Jo, Ira, Mara, Sara, Mario, Jan, Ina, Lily, Arne, Bette, Dan, Reba, Diane, Lynn, Ed, Eva, Dana, Lynne, Pearl, Isabel, Ada, Ned, Dee, Rena, Joel, Lora, Cecil, Aaron, Flora, Tina, Arden, Noel and Ellen sinned.
ANAGRAMS
ELEVEN PLUS TWO --> TWELVE PLUS ONE
A DECIMAL POINT--> I'M A DOT IN PLACE
ONE GOOD TURN DESERVES ANOTHER--> DO ROGUES ENDORSE THAT? NO! NEVER!
SAY IT WITH FLOWERS--> WE HURT SO THIS WAY
And the best anagram in the world is
TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE --> I AM LORD VOLDEMORT
You had to know that one was going to be in there. SO there are some fun plaindormes and anagrams. Checke out the links for more palindromes and anagram makers.

Oh man...I'm such a geek.

So I woke up today after a sleep over with one of my buds and was like 'hey I should post something on my blog'. And it was a really good idea until I realized that I had NOTHING to post because my week has been filled with work and hanging out a home all by my lonesome. And I can't even post a video or anything because my computer is being stupid and won't let me watch anything on YouTube. And the only thing I have read lately is Will Grayson, Will Grayson which was good amazing, but not really worth writing anything about. And then I got some movies from the library, but they were all movies that came out a while ago...except Sucker Punch which was pretty good and I do recomend watching it but it wasn't so good as to merit a review.
So instead I thought that I would just tell you how boring my life is. And leave you these HP related pictures because I watched Potter last night...and this morning.

Aimee and the Wind
Here is the first post of summer 2011!! Which is kind of sad when you consider that a) it's almost August b) I really haven't been doing much this summer, save from musical theatre camp (which was AWESOME by the way! If you ever get a chance to do something like that DO IT!) and c) When I did have time I was on the computer looking at Failblog and related sites...
So long story short I've just been putting off posting somethig new because I spend all my time on the computer.
BUT I am here and posting now and feeling creative to top it all off, so lucky you. Also I wrote an entire short story in 2 days...which I regard as an accomplishment because I haven't been able to write anything half decent in a while...stupid plot monkeys.

~~~
The warm sun beat down on her. Everything about this moment was perfect. Aimee took a breath in, pulling the fresh air all the way down to her toes. And then again and again, like the air was clean and with everybreath in good things came and with every breath out all the bad things left. Aimee sat up in the grass and looked out. Stretching in every visible direction was a sea of lush green grass. Aimee stood up and looked around. "It's magical here." She whispered to the wind.
"I know. Here, Aimee you can do anything you want, be anything you want. Here, in this place, nothing can go wrong." The wind whispered back. Aimee laughed. The wind swooped down around her and ran through her hair.
"I have to go." She sighed.
"Come back tomorrow, Aimee." The wind said.
Aimee sat on the chair. Her father stood above her and hit her, relentlessly. With every hit came an accusation. 'It's your fault that your mother is dead! It's your fault that we have no money! It's your fault that I can't get a job! It's all your fault you stupid girl!' When it was done she ran out of the house, as fast as she could to the wind's place. Her face stung. The salty tears that kept coming didn't help either. Aimee colapsed in the grass. Soon the wind came.
"What's wrong, Aimee?"
"He did it again. I don't think it will ever stop."
"I can make it stop. All you have to do it come with me." The wind promised.
"He would find me. He always finds me."
"He wouldn't. I promise. You come with me and it will all stop. Eventually he won't even remember your name."
"You can't promise that." In the distance Aimee heard her name being called. She got up and ran back to the house.
The wind waited in the meadow for Aimee to come back. He waited in the meadow, the days getting ever longer until his friend would return. And then one afternoon Aimee came running over the hill to him. Her face was black and blue, her eyes red from the tears. She tripped on her dressand dissappeared in the long grass. For a fleeting moment the wind was scared that she was hurt more. And then her head popped up. She ran down the hill and collapsed beside the wind.
"I can't take it anymore!" Aimee screamed up at the sky. The wind came beside her.
"I can help." He said.
"How? How can wind possibly help me? How can wind get my father to stop hitting me? How can a little wind do anything?" Aimee screamed. The wind got angry.
"How? HOW? I am the wind of mighty storms that destroy villages and wrecks cities! I am the wind that uproots buildings taller than you could ever imagine and you, a tiny fragile girl dare to ask how I can help?" The wind yelled. He turned into a violet storm, ripping trees out of the ground, turning calm seas into violent tsunamies. The wind crated storms bigger than he had ever created before. And then he looked down at his darling Aimee. She was laying limp on the ground, her hair flying violently around her face. The wind stopped and swooped down beside her.
"Aimee." He whispered. "Aimee, wake up." The wind prodded her. She didn't respond. "Aimee! Aimee!" He called but nothing happened. He called one more time to Aimee. Something happened. The wind looked down at her. Instead of Aimee sitting up and playing with him something else happened. The wind didn't know what it was.
"Hi, Wind." The wind looked at her. She hadn't changed.
"Silly, I'm over here." She said again. The wind looked around. Behind him was Aimee. Not Aimee the person, for she was still layin motionless on the ground. But Aimee the soul. "I have to go, wind."
"No! Don't! You can't leave me!" The wind called.
"I'm sorry. I can't stay. I have to go be with mama." She was getting further and further away from him.
"She can say!" He tried to follow her, but it seemed no matter how fast he went she was always too far.
"She can't. I can't. I'm sorry. But thank you. This was the best thing you could have done for me. Thank you, wind. Thank you." And then she was gone forever.

The Science of Fairy Tales.
I suppose all fairy tales have a beginning and an end. The end is usually ‘And they lived happily ever after’. All fairy tales also have a villain, whether it’s a wicked witch or a step-mother or a wolf. Their job is to make life difficult for the princess, or lowly village girl turned princess. And then, of course, there is the handsome prince. Who falls in love with the princess and sets out to marry her. Of course this can’t happen because the witch/step-mother/wolf is doing all in their power to keep the prince and the princess apart. But as we all know the prince defeats the villain and then he and the princess get married. After this comes a wildly successful book and a big budget made-for-TV movie, 3 kids, marital problems and divorce and or death.
You may think I am painting a bleak picture but I’m not. I’m just so tired of all the crap that Mister and Mister Grimm are feeding children. Life as a princess isn’t all sunshine and roses and white horses and fancy dresses and living in a castle with your animal friends, who pay more attention to you than your husband (who, by the way, risked life and limb for you defeating that aforementioned villain).
Unlike life, a fairy tale has a formula that it follows. Life doesn't. The prince might never come. The witch might not be a witch at all but something inside of you. And try as we might to come up with a formula, a steadfast plot that our life can follow we can't. We can say 'coffee on Monday at the cafe. Work on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thrusday. Friday we are going on a trip.' But we can't know for sure. Maybe on Wednesay as you are driving to work you get in a car accident and end up seriously injured in a hospital, unable to walk. Perhaps on your trip your car breaks down in the middle of the highway and you have to walk 5 kilometers to find cell service and call a tow truck.
What I'm trying to say is life is uncertain. And we have to live life that way.We have to be prepared to be unprepared. We have to stand on the edge of the cliff and jump off, no matter what awaits us at the bottom.
Woah. Look at me being all poetic and wise...

The Dive
Sorry for not posting in a while. Hopefully this will make up for it.
_____
I stood tall. The sharp rocks dug into my feet. The icy cold water splashed me. My feet, my legs, making me shiver. I bent down and rubbed my legs. It was no use. I heard my name called from below. I stood up, looked down to see my friends standing on the bank of the river, below the waterfall. Somone called to me "Jump already!" I smiled, straightened up and stepped on the edge of the rock. Water rushed down the falls around me, threatening to push me off the rock.I swung my arms out and up. The momentum carried me off the rock and down. The waer rushed past my face. I let out a yell before I was consumed by icy darkness. I tried to swim up but the current pushed me down. I trid to swim forward, backward, left, right, any way I could to get out of the water but the wave tossed me around, playing with me as if I was some childs rag doll. There was a sharp stabbing pain on the back of my head and the darkness got darker.
Suddenly I could see myself getting tossed in the water.Getting jerked every which way. The water was turning red around my limp body. "Get up!" I yelled. "Get up! Swim! Emma! Swim!" But I didn't do anything. Just lay there in the red water. There was a cry from the shore. I looked up and saw my friends starting at the water. "She's been down there too long. Someone go get her" One of the boys pulled off his shirt and jumped in the water. He swam against the water and came up to me. He swam through the red water and grabbed my limp body. He pulled it to shore and checked for a pulse. He pressed my chest. Nothing. He gave me mouth to mouth. Nothing. "Dammit Emma breathe!" Nothing. He walked away from me and sat on a rock, shivering. He put his head in his hands. I looked away, ashamed but I didn't know what for. One of my other friends was talking into a cell phone. The others were just standing there, looking at my body.
Soon enough an ambulance came. One of the medics checked for a pulse. He put his head down by my mouth. Checked my pulse again. "Time of death, 1:13."

YC 2011~After
So I was going to try and put into the words how amazing YC was but I just can't. You have to be there and feel the bass vibrating your body and hear the buzzing in your ears. But YC was amazing. And if you wern't there you'll just have to take my word for it. :)
Also I changed the language on my phone to French...because I can. I'll leave you with thelast words of Alex the parrot (he was used in the psych department at Brandeis University)
"You be good. See you tomorrow. I love you."
(For more last words click ^^)

Tis' the night before YC and all through the house the teens are stirring in anticipation.
Ok so it doesn't rhyme at all, nor does it fit the meter of the actual poem but close enough. It is, in fact, the night before YC and I am super excited!!! I am so excited to spend the weekend with my friends and listen to awesome music and have a blast! It should be a weekend to remember and I will tell you all about it on Monday. For now listen to this song because it is awesome.

YC 2011
So I wasn't going to go to YC this year but now I am and I must say that now that I am going I am super stoked, and not just because Cee is making nerdfighter shirts for us!
But I also realized that I know NONE of the new music by any of the artists that are going. So we went to the library (because I had a book on hold and it arrived and I was really excited and then I got there and it was the audio CD...not the book. So sad face) and got the two new Hawk Nelson CDs. But NO SWITCHFOOT!!!! And I am really sad because they will probably have a concert at the main session and I won't know any of the music and it will suck because I don't know any of thier new stuff. But it will be fun because I am there with my friends having a ball.
Also no snow this weekend!!!

Zombies?
So I was on Stumble upon (the best bordeom conquer ever,by the way.) and a site showed up that had pictures of Six Flags, New Orleans. I look at them all and concluded that I must go visit sometime. The park was under 9 feet of water at one point after Katrina hit in 2005. It was permanatley closed and now looks like the set for a Zombie movie. I was inspired and a whole bunch of ideas for scary movies popped into my head.

| So this obviously isn't from the Six Flags site. I just thought it was a really cool paper creation. |

Winter vs. Summer Chores
I would like to tell you all about summer chores vs. winter chores. And to do this I will write a little script of sorts.
WINTER CHORES
Mother: Darling child, please go and wash the inside of these three windows. Then you can go.
Darling child: But mother. I don't want to. It is cold and icky outside. Please do not make me do it.
Mother: You can whine all you want but you still have to wash the windows.
Darling Child: [realizing that there is no point in arguing gets up and washes the windows. A task that takes her all of three minutes.] FINE!
SUMMER CHORES
Mother: Darling child can you please was the inside and outside of all the windows on the main floor?
Darling child: Why yes mother. I would be delighted to do that.
Mother: Thank you darling child. Also I want you to clean the back yard and wash the floor of the pantry and clean the porch. Then can you please wash the car?
Darling child: Why yes mother. I would be delighted to do that.
What is my point here? I don't really know. Maybe its the fact that when it is nice out darling children are more willing to do chores. Maybe this is an exampe of how much the weather impats our moods. But I don't know.
Also we went to the library to get some new books and when we got there we realized that no one had put the books in the truck. I found it really funny but no one else did so I didn't laugh.
So happy May Long Weekend. Enjoy it and be thankful that there is no snow yet and it is only supposed to rain.

I am sunburnt. Not like tomato red can't move burnt. But burnt enough to not be abe to cross my legs. This is from a track meet yesterday, which we took first in a bunch of events (Go CCS!). Also during the course of the day I stained the bum of my yellow shorts, hurt my hand from punching somone's arm, and figured out that I cringe when people touch the back of my neck (much to the deilght of the same friend whose arm I punched...which in my defence I was not inteding to do. He moved). All in all it was a very good day. Minus all the sunburns.
Also the other day I played at a park. I had lots of fun.
And here is a really cute video.

A Little Bit Of Random.
So I watched the Dorian Grey and it is awesome. Just the right blend of creepy and sweet. Plus 2 hours of looking at Ben Barnes is not the most difficult thing in the world to do.
So I stole this post idea. From my friend. Her blog is here.
~Name something you lost or gave away that can never be replaced.
I don't know. I once left my blanket in our truck and my dad took the truck to work that night. But I got it back in the morning. I remember that very well. But I don't think I have ever lost something that can't be replaced.
~What 5 websites do you visit often, and why?
Facebook. Facebook=life line.
Gmail. Communication with the outside world
Failblog/Wins/Weddinator/If Style Could Kill. Always good for a laugh.
That's 5 right? 6 actually.
~Name a totally useless possession and how you came to acquire it.
I have a little double decker bus figurine. I don't know how I got it but I have it. I also have a double decker bus keychain I got from my friend when she came back from England. Sometimes if I'm bored I make them crash into each other. It's really fun.
~What music album would be used for a movie about your life?
Sweeney Todd soundtrack. Just kidding. I don't know. The playlist for my life would have songs that have nothing to do with my actual life. Just songs that I like. Some Brodway songs, some country. Death Cab for Cutie. Stuff like that.
~List your bad habits and/or addictions and what you have tried to rid yourself of them.
Biting my nails. I used to be so bad with this. But I have almost stopped. Almost.
~If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be, and what would you do if later on you changed your mind?
If I could change anyhting about myself it would be one of two things. The fact that I don't like rides, the fact that sometimes I say too much and sometimes I say too little. I don't think these would be things that I would change my mind on them because they bug me so much.
~What are your religious beliefs? Have they changed, or have they always stayed the same?
Christian. Always have been the same and always will be.
~When was your last food craving, and what did you crave?
On Monday I really wanted a slurpee. I got one on Wednesday.
~Name your most cherished childhood memory.
I don't have a super cherished memory. But I remember going ot my grandparents house in BC and under the stairs in the basement was a little area that we would clean out and play in. There was a little table there and they had a doll that was the size of a three year old and I would play with that.
~Turn to an entry in your journal or diary from a year or more ago. What has changed and what has stayed the same since then?
I have tried os many times to keep a journal and I am just not that committed (I am happy that I have managed to keep this going, however sporadically, this long). But since last year lots has stayed the same. More than I think changed. Off the top of my head I can't think of what has changed.
~What is one thing nobody knows about you because nobody ever cared to ask?
I am a really open person and what you see is what you get. So I don't think that people don't know much about me. Maybe that I am suprisingly artisitc.
~Robert Frost write a poem titled The Road Not Taken. Name a road you’ve always wanted to travel. Where do you hope it takes you, and what might you see on the way?
I would love to take a backpack with clothes and money and just go where ever. With no schedule or time limit or anything like that. Just be in the world and seeing new things and doing new things a meeting new people. That is like my dream.
If they mean a literal road I have always wanted to drive on the ice raod, autobahn and do a raod trip accross Canada on hwy 1.
~Name one thing you always wanted to do, but haven’t. What has prevented you from doing it?
The Amazing Race. The fact that I am not American.
~Write about your first kiss. Was it everything you wished or hoped it would be?
This would requre a first kiss, so this question is irrelevant to me.
~What was the worst mistake or decision you have ever made in life? What could you have done differently?
I don't know. I have definatley done some things that I don't like but I think that everything I have done has helped me grow and become a better person.
~What song was stuck in your head recently, and what were you doing at the time that made you think of it?
Green Finch and Linnet Bird from Sweeney Todd. I just like the song. And I recentely put the soundtrack on my iPod so I have been listening to it and it is stuck in my head.
~Describe 5 things you want to see or do before it’s too late.
Egypt trip, Sky dive, get a novel published, see the seven wonders of the world, be on Broadway.
~Write about something you now know that you wish you knew earlier in life. How could this knowledge have helped you?
That PE 20 is not what I thought it would be. I would not have taken PE 20. Which would have saved a lot of pain for many people.
~Write about your greatest fear.
Snakes and Needles. Snakes is ok. Lots of people are afraid of snakes but I am terrified of needles. Which is odd because I can watch shows where they slice open people's heads and take out chunks of brain matter. but if I see somone getting a needle I freak out and can't handle it. Also dentists. I swear like 99.9% of them are sadists.
~Name one thing you feel brings out the good in people.
Smiling babies. I mean who doesn't love a smiling baby?
~Describe a time in your life when everything turned out fine, despite the odds.
High School? Except probably not. I haven't dided yet, which for all the time I trip over things and walkin into walls and doors is pretty amazing.
~If you invented a device that could fix one problem you are facing right now, would you use it? What problem would you like to solve?
No. I don't want the easy way out if things. I want to have to figure out things for my self and solve issued myself.
~Write about the last time you spoke to your best friend. What did you talk about?
On Friday at lunch I talked with my best friends. All our conversations are so random so I don't really know what we talked about.
~Describe a time you felt alone.
I have som many amazing friends and because of them there has never been a time when I felt really alone. But when all my friends were on band trip I had no one to sit with and talk to in all my classes.
~Name something you found; what was it and where did you find it?
I cleaned my room yesterday so I found lots of things. Like my useless double decker bus figure. I found that.
~What’s on your calendar for tomorrow?
Church. Then a birthday/anniversiary shindig.
~What is the most annoying sound you have ever heard?
My brother does this stupid little dinosaur sound and it bugs me. Or those stupid gravity sticks that are like NNNNNNOOOOOP NOOOOOMP
~Describe your first job.
Babysitting.
~What is the one thing you cannot live without?
O2.
~Quote the nicest thing anyone has ever said about you.
No idea. But once after a meeting somone told me that I was a really good person. Which sounds like something that somone would just say to anyone but in the context it was really nice.
~Are you afraid of the dark? Why or why not?

I would love to see what happened in the future.
So I stole this post idea. From my friend. Her blog is here.

If I could change anyhting about myself it would be one of two things. The fact that I don't like rides, the fact that sometimes I say too much and sometimes I say too little. I don't think these would be things that I would change my mind on them because they bug me so much.

~Turn to an entry in your journal or diary from a year or more ago. What has changed and what has stayed the same since then?
I have tried os many times to keep a journal and I am just not that committed (I am happy that I have managed to keep this going, however sporadically, this long). But since last year lots has stayed the same. More than I think changed. Off the top of my head I can't think of what has changed.
~What is one thing nobody knows about you because nobody ever cared to ask?
I am a really open person and what you see is what you get. So I don't think that people don't know much about me. Maybe that I am suprisingly artisitc.

That PE 20 is not what I thought it would be. I would not have taken PE 20. Which would have saved a lot of pain for many people.
~Write about your greatest fear.
Snakes and Needles. Snakes is ok. Lots of people are afraid of snakes but I am terrified of needles. Which is odd because I can watch shows where they slice open people's heads and take out chunks of brain matter. but if I see somone getting a needle I freak out and can't handle it. Also dentists. I swear like 99.9% of them are sadists.
~Name one thing you feel brings out the good in people.
Smiling babies. I mean who doesn't love a smiling baby?
