Wimpiness

Wimpiness is a big problem. When you are a wimp, you make up excuses for things so you don't have to do them. You avoid things you should do. You are scared of the outcome of things, or things in general. I am a wimp, but I am not scared about roller coasters or dogs or haunted houses. I am a wimp about interacting with people.

What are you a wimp about?

Project For Awesome

December 17 and 18 are special days every year. The idea behind project for awesome is YouTubers make videos promoting charities, a few well known people do live streams, and money is raised for those charities. I think it is really nice that this happens, and it definitely raises awareness about the world situation and charities and places you can volunteer and opportunities to decrease world suck.

While I am writing this, John Green is doing a live stream. If you read this soon after I post this, you can go over to www.youtube.com/vlogbrothers to see what he's doing.

Something

I took these pictures. Beast, right?

 Anyone else hate the new YouTube setup? UGH.Okay, now I sound like one of those bloggers that has no reason to blog, but blogs anyway. Done for now.

Gone again

Why hello once again!

I kind of left my laptop off for a very long time, and I never remember to go on my blogs when I'm on any other computer, so here I am now.

I don't have a particular uplifting thing to talk about right now, so I'll just say some random stuff.
-the gum i am chewing right now is gross, but I can't bring myself to throw it out. Ask what kind it is in the comments if you want to know.
-No one ever comments, but I comment when people tell me to. Meanies.
-You aren't really meanies. Maybe you are always cramped time-wise. Who knows. You do.
-I played flag football in gym today and all the boys were amazed a girl could run fast and gain serious yardage. They still didn't pass to me much, though.
-I'm ALONE! Gasp.
-I should really just stop and not put any more useless junk on the internet.

DFTBA, my friends.

Bass Boosters

I just got home from watching "Puss in Boots" with my dad and brother, which wasn't a bad movie by the way. I just can't wait to see "In Time." Anyway, we were listening to the Crystal Method with the volume all the way up in our little Kia Soul. It vibrated our bodies, our car, and probably a few things around us. It was a great experience. All I could think about, though, was "Thank goodness we don't have the windows down."

Every Little Thing Counts

Yesterday, I had science as the last class of the day. Everyone was itching to finally get home for the weekend and not very many people were paying attention. To get our attention, my science teacher usually claps in this pattern. clap-clap-clapclapclap. After everyone responded with the same clap pattern, the boy sitting next to me did the "We Will Rock You" style beat. Slowly, more and more people started following suit, and eventually, someone started singing the words. That made me think. Can one little thing, someone starting the beat, turn into a big thing, a whole class singing and beating together? It's like the snowball effect. And this is what the world needs. One person starting something cool, fun, or good, and slowly getting more and more people doing it as well.

Science Fair

Science Fair has been a big part of my homework recently. I am doing an experiment on which type of milk lasts the longest, and I'm tired of researching it and finding opinion after opinion on the topic and hardly any fact websites. If you know of any good fact websites that would help me learn about milk spoiling, it would be nice of you to share them with me. I don't need the websites, I have enough research done, but I wouldn't mind having the help.

Are you doing science fair? If so, what is your topic? Are you looking forward to it?

School is Taking Over My Life

Maybe you've been wondering where I've been. Maybe you haven't. In any case, I might be back again. I have so much stuff going on with school, I barely have time for other things. I'm still alive, I just don't use my lap top as much anymore. I would say Science Fair is slightly (extrememly) time consuming. I'll work on posting more. I just need some time.

Is school eating up your life? Do you have more time on your hands than you thought you would? Why don't you ever answer my questions?

Foster the People

I'm sure most people have heard the song "Pumped Up Kicks" by now. I bet most people even like it for its base line and its nearly unintelligible lyrics. I used to. I still like it, I just like it for a slightly different reason. Here are a few lines from the song.

Robert's got a quick hand. He's looking 'round the room, he won't tell you his plan. He's got a rolled cigarette, hanging out his mouth he's a cowboy kid. Yeah. He found a six shooter gun in his dad's closet with a box of fun things, I don't even know what. But he's coming for you, yeah, he's coming for you.

Interesting, right? Now go listen to this song with an open mind, paying close attention to the lyrics. Pretty eerie, right? I used to only like this song for it's really beast base line and catchy chorus. I looked at the lyrics written down, and suddenly I liked this song for having such a nice base line, a catchy chorus, and faking everyone out with the pop sound and really not very decent lyrics. I can't wait to hear more songs by Foster the People.

Do you like the song "Pumped Up Kicks"? Did you know about the interesting lyrics already? (I'm sure some people already knew them.) Are you glad you know the lyrics? Do you wish you didn't know the lyrics?

School is Really Here

Until recently, school just seemed like a place to be. Now, about a month into the school year, it seems like a place I need to work. I have started to get disorganized, so I know a few things I need to strive for, including excellence. I have started to get more work and homework, and I have started to need to do and remember more things. Remember to take music folder out of backpack for cello lesson. Remember to bring ukulele to school for guitar club. Remember to put homework in backpack. Remember to take all supplies necessary to class. Too much remembering, if you ask me.

With all this evidence and more, I can safely say school is really here. Are you feeling overwhelmed by school? Do you feel you need to do too much remembering? Do you wish I would stop putting questions at the end of my posts? Seriously, no one ever answers.

Birthday

Today is my birthday. I don't think birthdays are that big of a deal. It is only the day you have completed a full revolution around the sun. Revolution, right? I'm not sure... Anyway, I don't think it's that special. I like hearing people say Happy Birthday to me, though.

Do you enjoy having birthdays? Do you wish you had birthdays more often?

Running

Today in gym, we ran again, but this time we were encouraged to run, not just given the option. We were only supposed to complete a mile of running, and I got a time of 7 minutes and 30 seconds. I am proud of my time. Last spring, I got 7 minutes and 47 seconds, and I can't remember what I got last fall. I think I probably got a better mile time yesterday, but I don't really mind that much.

Do you run miles at your school? If so, how often do you run them? Also, how long does it take you?

Rough Day

What did the dog say when he sat down on sandpaper?
"Ruff."

That's not what I wanted to write about today, so I'll get to the point.
This morning, I woke up, but I didn't want to. I was very tired and had a mild headache. I went downstairs to eat some cereal, but spilled it all over myself and the couch I was sitting on. I cleaned it up and told me dad about it. Because of the spill, I was wet and a little bit sticky in certain places. I changed into my clothes so I could walk up to my bus stop, but I didn't want to get dressed because once you get dressed in the morning, you have to go to school. At least that's what is seems like to me. And then going to the bus stop makes it even more clear that you need to go to school, no matter what. Luckily for me, today was a half day. I don't know if I would have been able to make it through the entire day semi-happily otherwise. I was tired until lunch. At lunch, it was still more quiet than usual. After lunch, I felt tired again. Then in gym we went to the track to run or walk, depending on what we wanted to do. For some reason, that made me feel very energized. Before they made us go back inside, I had run 7 laps equaling a mile and three fourths. I think they had us running for about fifteen minutes, and I would have loved to run even longer. The running made me feel good. After gym, we had one last period left, and I was tired for that period, too. After that, I got on my bus and went home. I logged onto Two Cans and String, did some posting on the forum, then came here to write this. Putting things in perspective, though, today wasn't that bad. If I had needed to ride the bus to school for elementary school, I would have needed to get up maybe an hour earlier than I do now, just to catch the bus. It would make sense for the children who ride the bus to my old elementary school to be tired, and they would need to go to bed very early to get enough sleep. I enjoy going to bed late and waking up late, but during the school year, I just go to sleep earlier than during the summer, and wake up earlier than I want to. Most of the time, I can deal with that, but people who need to wake up much earlier than I do... live with it. They do what they need to so they can get to school on time. They are used to it. It becomes part of their life. According to my old Spanish teacher, some children in Panama even need to go to school in the middle of the night rather than in the middle of the day, so they are able to get the most use out of their school. I am very glad I don't have to wake up as early as certain people in the morning, or need to go to school in the middle of the night, and I am glad I am aware of the people waking up at different times than I do. I just want to say thank you to them because they put my view in perspective.

Orchestra Car Wash

I washed about ten to fifteen cars today. I volunteered to do this because the wonderful school orchestra I am in is raising money to do awesome things and to buy awesome things, so I thought it would be good to help out. I enjoyed washing the cars. Towards the end, all I did was scour the hubcaps. Those were definitely filthy. The one thing I refused to do, though, was stand on the corner of the street and yell, "ORCHESTRA CAR WASH! IT'S FREE! DONATIONS ACCEPTED!" That's just not something I wanted to do. It seemed a little forceful. I was happy scouring the hubcaps quietly. I hope the orchestra I am a part of earned a lot of money today. If we didn't, though, that would be fine as well. At least some people did some work for free today.

Back to School Tomorrow

Today, I spent most of my day in my bedroom on my laptop. I did go to my soccer game and take a shower, though, so I didn't sit around for the entire day. This is mostly what I did on my unscheduled days during the summer. I still have to get used to being in the school year, I guess. It's on days like these I wonder what everyone else does to entertain themselves.

What do you do on the weekends? What did you do during summer break? Do you like being back in school?

Puppy Sized Elephants

I love this picture so much. It's so cute, and it is the dream of one of my YouTube idols, John Green. Puppy sized elephants would definitely make the world a better place.

What do you think of puppy sized elephants? What would you like to have puppy sized?

The Weekend Has Arrived

Ahhhh... Nice, sweet rest after school school school for a week. I like school, but the weekends always feel like a deserved break from the business of it all. Right now I'm sitting in bed, listening to Revolver, and surfing the web. I can't even be bothered to go to my brother's baseball game. You could call me lazy, but you know you wish you could do this, too. I know I'll get up soon to do something, but I'm not sure what that will be. I love having an unstructured day. Forming it as I go along, that's the way to be. Unfortunately, some teachers don't understand the necessity of the weekends for refueling, so I have some homework. Sigh. I guess I'll work on that today at some point. Definitely not now, though.

Do you have weekend homework very often? Do you wish you didn't have it? Do you wish you had more? Do you wish you had a longer weekend? Answer in the comments!

Labor Day School Stress

Happy Labor Day, everyone. My first day of school is tomorrow, but I'm sure some people have already started. I would not say that I am consciously stressed out about school starting tomorrow, but I would say that I might be unconsciously stressed out about it. Last night, I dreamed that they had completely changed the layout of my school over the summer and that I was having trouble finding my class. I don't even remember ever finding my class. It was a horrible dream, but I know for sure that won't happen to me this year. I went through that trouble last year. A reason some people other than myself might be stressed is because of seat auditions in the band or orchestra. I am in the orchestra, and I have been working on the audition pieces all summer. Some people have not gotten the pieces yet, so they have not been able to practice for the audition at all. I don't know if those people are stressed out, but if I were in their shoes, my dream would have been about the seat auditions last night. Also, the elementary school I used to go to had a summer reading program in which third, fourth, and fifth graders had to read five chapter books and do a project about them to get prizes or something nearly useless. I always read the five chapter books and did the project, but I remember cutting it very close to the deadline with the project. Today, my brother and my mom had a conversation/argument about his summer reading. He has almost read four books, the second through fifth Percy Jackson books. As many people know, those are very long books, and he doesn't want to read one last short book. Lucky for him, the projects aren't due on the first day of school, so he has some time.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Labor Day, and good luck to everyone starting school tomorrow!

Increasing World Suck

I am disappointed in myself. I have been watching the vlogbrothers almost all day, taking all the necessary time to do what humans need to do, and also to go to Music and Arts to get cello strings. I have been using up lots of power all day, and it didn't help that I watched Remember the Titans while my television used up power. Now it's 11:30. I could be sleeping, which doesn't require my laptop and my overhead light to be on. Instead, I'm still watching the vlogbrothers. Hank supports working on global warming. I wish I was working towards his cause right now, but I am just too used to living like this, using up loads of power. Sigh. I am accidentally increasing world suck. I'm sorry vlogbrothers and nerd fighters. I can't even figure out what kind of nerd fighter I am! Can you guys tell? Am I an English nerd fighter? A math nerd fighter? Maybe an eco nerd fighter? Wait, no way I'm eco nerd fighter after what I just confessed to. I don't know... ugh. Sigh. Confusion. Back to those videos.  www.youtube.com/vlogbrotherswww.ecogeek.org

Super Songs

This week I have been doing a camp in which we shorten songs. For example, I have shortened Watermelon Man, For No One, Take Five, and Ants Marching. It's a lot of fun, and it's something I haven't done before. We work with Audacity, and it works very well. It's a free program, and it's beast, so I would suggest getting it if you enjoy playing with audio and songs.

Back

Hello everyone! I am back from my week of camp! While I was at camp, I had loads of fun. I was thankful for the shower-everyday thing, apparently the Weeblos don't even have to take a shower at all. My brother went to Boy Scout camp as a Weeblo and reported he hadn't taken one shower in a week. I climbed to the top of the medium climbing tower, swam in the pool with my friend, was disgusted by the latrines/outhouses/BIFFYs, almost went canoeing, worked on team building, spilled a tub of water on me and the dining hall floor, made a bead lizard, dented my already dented water bottle, and made lots of new friends. I love camp. I really hope I'll go back there with the same friend next summer.

Does anyone else adore their camp? Does anyone hate their camp? Do you go to sleep-away camp? Do you wish you went to sleep-away camp? Do you have an opinion on sleep-away camp? Do you want to answer my questions (please)?

Leaving

Tomorrow, I will drive for three to four hours to get to Girl Scout camp. I'm looking forward to my week of sleep-away camp very much. Last year was my first year of sleep-away camp, and I loved it. I went with a friend last year, and I am going with her again this year. She just so happens to be the same friend as the one who took me to a pirate ship with her younger sister's Girl Scout troop. Since I will be at camp, I will not be able to post anything next week, but I will definitely have a lot to say the week after next.

Soccer

Today in 100 degree weather, I played in a soccer game. My team won 3-0. That's not the point of this post, though. I want to talk about the feeling I got from playing soccer. Of course, this feeling was soon replaced by thirst and overheating. While I had the feeling, I felt so great. The feeling is kind of hard to describe. I think it had something to do with the fact that I was a part of a team. I think I am a big fan of being part of a team. I knew that my team could back me up and I knew that my team was counting me and everyone else on the team to be the best they can. Anyway, it was a great feeling, and I was sad when it went away and in its place came thirst and overheating. Does anyone else get a great feeling like this?

The Cat is Out of the Bag

It's official. A lot of my friends know about my blog now. I guess it feels reassuring that I know people will be reading this now, but it felt nice having a secret place to write stuff. I might put more thought into what I write, but I probably won't put any more thought in than originally. This will definitely be different, that's for sure. I hope everyone is satisfied or relieved that I let this secret out before the planned date, the end of summer. Have fun reading my old posts!

Pronunciations

Pronunciations are tricky things. I say ukulele rather than yukuhlele. I don't know which is right, but I know I've heard more people say yukuhlele for the word ukulele. Another example of tricky pronunciations is for the word egg. I say egg, but I know a plethora of people who say aig. It bothers me, but then I remember how I don't like being corrected for ukulele, so I let them have all the aigs they want in the conversation. I know two people who say munster rather than monster, and I know a few people who say pin rather then pen. I guess it must just be the accents of the area they grew up, but my dad has lost his New England accent after living in the area we do not for many years. What are some pronunciation disputes you have?

Sea Weed

I recently took a trip to a harbor in Maine. I was visiting some family friends, and I started having fun with sea weed with a boy one year older than me. He is of the imaginative sort, so I am constantly being entertained by his antics. Here is the entire story of the sea weed buisness.


We started pulling "spaghetti sea weed" off rocks and piling it on the sandy beach. Over time, we learned what color the ripe, easy to pull off strips were. The pile kept on getting larger and larger, and so did the sea weed story. Our ancestors, in the story we created, discovered the magic of sea weed. They were the first harvesters, the business starters. They passed the business down, but when it got to our generation, we did not want the bulky business on our shoulders. We handed it off to trusted family and friends, but stayed the harvesters. We had technicians, chemists, scientists, psychologists, every specialist there is out there finding out new ways to make use of the bountiful sea weed. Sea weed eating utensils. Sea weed bio fuel and energy. Sea weed medicine. Sea weed technology. It was an amazing story, and I am sorry to say a lot of the story is escaping me at the moment. The boy I was with is very imaginative and creative, and so am I, so we had no trouble building up the business and ways to use the sea weed. Sea weed was as essential as coal is to West Virginia. There was never an end to the supply because we started making genetically altered sea weed that grew faster and larger. There was no stopping us. We had so much momentum with the ideas, the story, the make-believe business. Nothing could stop us, but lunch. We went to eat lunch, and I had to leave soon after. I am disappointed we didn't get to escalate the creativity any more.

Everyone remember! July 8th is Sea Weed Day in honor of the valiant efforts of the boy and me!

Should We Celebrate the 3rd?

Here's a little history lesson. On July 4, 1776, Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. According to the colonies, they were no longer under the rule of Britain. On September 3, 1783, the Treaty of Paris was signed and Britain recognized the United States as a separate country, not just colonies. Everyone celebrates the 4th of July, but I think the real day to celebrate is the 3rd of September because that is the day Britain finally broke down and freed the colonies. Thoughts?

Army Men

I have taken a liking to plastic, green army men recently. Especially since I am at the beach. It is so fun to just carve battle scenes out of sand. I spent hours upon hours making a river using a hose and having army men fighting around it today. The sandy landscape of the beach is perfect for projects like that. I'll be sad when I have to go back to my house and play with the army men in the grass and dirt.

Is it really that hard to believe a girl likes army men??

Fireworks

I can't stand fireworks. They are usually boring, but always loud. Of course, it isn't good to be so negative, so let me say this. Everyone else loves them. That's all that matters, right? In a perfect world, yes. Here, absolutely not.

The Beach

A beach is a beach, no matter how small.

Right now, I'm at my grandpa's little beach. I won't give out the location. It's a small beach, but we don't have to share it with any tourists. When we come here, we see my grandpa, my step-grandma (I guess that's what she is), and my two half uncles. My older half uncle, who is now 14, is very good at digging. I guess I'm his apprentice because I don't care for my younger brother's and my younger half uncle's shenanigans. MY brother is 10 and my other half uncle is 9. I am 12, so I am in the middle of everyone. Today we hooked a hose up and we made a stream from the soft, white sand to the river with well water. It was fun making mounds for the stream to go around. Hopefully tomorrow will be as fun as today.

I think someone is throwing rocks at my window... I wish I could see out my window, but it's too dark to see the darkness outside. It's not like looking into a lit window from a dark room. (That's how I know my neighbors have an iPad.)

Music

Lately I have been listening to a lot of music because I recently got a cord to connect my computer to my Brookstone Stack to play my iTunes. The artists I have been listening to are The Beatles, The Killers, and Pink Floyd. I think my favorite band is The Beatles because I've known them the longest and I've gotten used to their creativity and wit. I like Pink Floyd because the songs are definitely not boring. They are quite interesting. I like The Killers because they come up with some nice tunes. The albums I have been listening to are Revolver (The Beatles), Sam's Town (The Killers), and Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd). I would suggest all of these bands and these albums. They are all very good.

Finding Forrester

There is a great movie out there in the world of movies called Finding Forrester. It is about a boy who finds this amazing author named William Forrester. It goes through the build-up, there's the climax, and then there's the resolution. One great thing about this movie that puts it out from many others is that it feel so real. It doesn't feel like Sean Connery and Rob Brown, it feels like William Forrester and Jamal Wallace. Finding Forrester was an amazing movie that would do everyone good to see.

Another Girl Scout Trip

This trip was luckily not to a boat or ship of any kind like the last one. I will not give away the exact location, but I will say it was in the Appalachian Mountains. It was beautiful there. The entire area was so nice. There were hills, mountains, rocks, streams, and waterfalls. I would love to go back there anytime.  I went there with my girl scout troop. Not everyone in my troop appreciates nature or likes to be silent. We all went on a hike at one point, and if there was any chance we'd see some wildlife, they ruined it with their constant talking. Of course, I can't blame all of the noise on them. I was talking as well, they were just doing most of it.

Have you been on any good vacations recently? Where did you go and what made them awesome?

Dolphin Sighting

I haven't posted anything in a while. Sorry about that. I went on two vacations already! Gasp! They were both only overnight trips, though. The first one is when I saw the dolphins. I will talk about the second vacation in another post. Anyway, I was at the beach. The exact location will stay a secret for safety reasons. Two of my friends and I were on a kayak. We were having a ball jumping on and off the kayak. People on the shore started yelling something that we couldn't understand. We assumed they were saying goldfish. We were slightly confused by this. Suddenly, we heard a gasping/blowing noise and turned to see what it was. All three of us screamed when we were surprised by the gray dolphins swimming past us. We all jumped onto the kayak as fast as possible. We were freaked out for a few more seconds, then calmed down when we realized they were only dolphins, minding their own business, swimming by in their pods. We watched in awe. They were beautiful, even with the scars on their backs from humans or some other being doing them harm. They swam very close to us, and we couldn't help but fall in love with them. As soon as we were sure they were done passing through, we started on our way back to shore. That was my first dolphin sighting ever, and I hope it won't be my last.

Summer is Here

Today was the last day of school for me. At school, it seemed like there were still many days left until June 21, but in reality, it really was the last day of school. That string of words has so much meaning to so many people. I'm not sure if I'm relieved I don't have to get up early and go to school everyday, or if I'll miss seeing so many people. At least I'll be going to summer camps. There are so many activities I'll be doing all summer, it's like I'll never get any rest all year. 

Boredom is an Epidemic

I have been bored for a while now. I went for a bike ride, I made a video, I checked my email, I went on YouTube, I listened to music, I drew, I read, I did everything in my ability on my list of boredom saviors. I am still moderately bored. I am not ready to take on the summer.

Biking is Most Definitely Exercize

Back on the topic of one of my other posts-

On Friday, I rode my bike to school with one of my friends. It was a breeze on the way there, like it was on my test run, and like on the test run, the way back was torture. The backpack on my back didn't make it easier. I definitely enjoyed it, and it's good to exercize my legs, but that harsh hill is definitely a lot to deal with. I think I'll bike to school again soon!

Does anyone else bike to school or bike a lot? Let me know.

Summer

Summer Vacation is coming up and I'm not sure how bored I'm going to be. Last year and the rest of the years before that, I had a sitter looking after me when my parents were at work. I'm old enough to look after myself now, so we don't have her anymore. This year I will be on my own a lot when my brother is at camps and I am not. I'm going to be at camps, but he will probably be with friends a lot more than me. I think I'll have the whole house to myself a lot and I really have no idea how bored I'm going to be. Anyone who actually reads my blogs can look forward to a lot of posts coming up!

Timing

When I post something, the time is off by three hours. It has been driving me crazy. Of course, time is not tangible and might not be a real thing, just something of our imaginations. When people ask me what time it is, I occasionally say "Time to get a watch" or "What ever time Chuck Norris says it is." When I'm feeling nice, I say the time that it "actually" is. Who's to say what time is "actually" is, though?

Private Blogs

So far, I haven't told any of my friends that I have a blog. I don't really know why I haven't. I guess I want to keep it to myself. Also, they might say, " ________, you have a YouTube channel already! Why don't you just make more vlogs?" to which I would say, "It's easier to say things in a blog. Vlogs seem up-close and personal. I also have more fun typing something than filming a video of myself, editing the whole video, and then waiting for it to finally upload to YouTube. What is your opinion on vlogs versus blogs?

Field Hockey

I just got back from my field hockey practice. It's a recent sport my city has started. I did it last summer, the first summer they had it, and I loved it. Not very many people did it last year. This year, it seems like almost everyone is or wants to be a part of it. I think it's cool that so many people like it, but it was cool being one of the few field hockey players last summer. I think it's sprung up like lacrosse, a sport I don't play. Do you or any of your friends/enemies play field hockey?

Biking is Definitely Exercize

An hour ago I embarked on a journey to my school on my bike. I live about 3 miles from it and it's downhill on the way there. Unfortunately, on the way back, there is no downhill at all and it is a harsh hill. It only took me about 10 or 15 minutes to get there, but I think it took about 20 or 25 minutes to get back. My legs sure got exercise. I went on this journey to see how long it might take me to ride to school in the morning. My mom says I can bike to school next year, but it will probably be very hard to get home in the afternoons with heavy binders on my back up that long, steep, hill.

Being Bored

A lot of times, people are bored and don't know what to do about it, or just don't want to do anything about it. I thought I should maybe put a list of simple solutions to help those who actually want to remedy their condition.

-Read
-Check your email
-Watch videos on YouTube
-Write a blog
-Ride your bike
-Go to a museum
-Hang out with your friends
-Write a story
-Go on twocansandstring.com
-Read Hyperbole and a Half on BlogSpot
-Draw

Those are only a few things you can do. I hope this helps!

Forgetfulness

Sometimes I do things and then forget that I did them. I think it happens to a lot of people. Maybe they forgot that they put something somewhere, like a pencil behind their ear. I forgot that I took a shower. Crazy, right? There is proof that I just took a shower because my hair is wet, but I don't remember taking the shower at all. This happens to me often, and it drives me crazy. Does this happen to you very much?

Extreme Heat

Today I had a soccer game on a turf field. The day was hot to begin with, but the turf makes everything hotter. Some people were trying to remedy their hot feet by pouring water in their cleats, but I did not. I don't like dealing with wet cleats, even if it relieves me of the hot pain if turf on black cleats. Also, I realized that if I pour cold water in hot cleats, the turf will continue making the cleats hot and will then make the cold water hot. I guess you can't escape the wrath of extreme heat.

Luckily, we won the game and finished the soccer season i third place, a big improvement from last season when we finished in twelfth.

Girl Scout Trip

Today my friend took me to a harbor with her younger sister's girl scout troop. We went on a "pirate ship." My friend and I were too old for the shenanigans of Poppet and her crew. The younger troop squirted Pirate Pete with water, got the treasure from the mermaid's lair, and got Pirate Pete's soda from the water. It was called something, but unfortunately I forget what it was. I think I was there to give my friend moral support. If I had to be there on my own, I would have died almost immediately. That's one problem with growing older. There's a period where you feel too mature to play the younger kids. After that period, you go back to feeling like playing with the younger kids is cool and you try to play like them and entertain them.

My First Post

Hello everyone who might stumble across this! I am not aiming for people to read this blog, but of course I'd like it if people get hooked on my pointless blogs of the future. I probably won't have a theme of blog posts, but i don't know yet. How could I? I still haven't even gotten past the introduction! First I'll tell you a little about me so you might know a bit of (hopefully helpful) background knowledge.


1) I play the cello, piano, and ukulele.
2) I have a YouTube channel.
3) I have a problem with correcting people. I'm trying to cut back on it.
4) I am two grade levels high in math.
5) I am a female.
6) I have a brother.
7) I have a guinea pig, and I wish I had fancy mice and a cat as well.
8) Some of my friends have blogs.

That's all for my introduction of myself and my blog. Thanks for reading!
