Unknown Holiday Band Concert

Hey everyone! I just got back from a horrible band concert that nobody knew about. They didn't even anounce it on the anouncements, even though all the theater things were loudly advertised. It was good that no one barely came, because one of the loudest people didn't show up, and a bunch of key people made some bad mistakes. Oh well.

A lot of weird stuff has been happening to me lately at school, especially this week. If you want some of the juicy details (I have some wacky stories) come find me in person, because I don't really feel like conveying them over the world wide web, where any living person can log on and read them by pure coincidence, though most people I know don't know I have a blog. Oh, and by the way, sorry about the lack of posting. I vowed to only post when one of my friend posts, mostly because I am totally unmotivated otherwise.

Question of the Day: Would a penny dropped off the Empire State Building kill someone on the ground?
This is a great question. But unfortunately, the answer isn't as interesting. Nothing has ever been dropped of to prove this, but theoretically, it couldn't kill someone, because the air would slow it down, and other stuff, variables and stuff, uhhhh... This guy makes it sound a lot better:

Story of the Day: A little kid was banned from his kindergarden class because his hair was "too" long. He had to take classes in the library, spererate from everyone else. It is almost 2010 people!!! Why, how, what were those people thinking? How much more predujudice could you be? Really? His hair, if you look at the picture, barely touches his sholders. And he's so cute! How could you resist that little face? Read more here:

Alright, I'm done blabbing for now. Have a great Christmas if I don't post until them.

Hi everyone. Been really busy lately. Too busy to even write full sentences. Now I'll stop.

Today my brother came home from school and the carbon dioxide alarms were going off. So, If I die in my sleep tonight, you know what happened. We aired everything out and they stopped and a guy is coming Saturday. I guess these things actually happen, who would have known (except the fire department of course)?

Debate club today we disscussed whether or not prostitution should be legal. I was on the no, it should remain illegal, which is my opinion in real life. I mean, there can be an arguement for the other side? When will people learn?

One thing I have to suggest to you. Go to your school after it is out, preferably one that you are not currently enrolled in, like your middle school if you are in high school. Find or bring a tenis ball and a few of your closest friends (and possibly your little brother(s)). Begin running around the halls, throwing the tenis ball at objects and each other. WARNING: this will give your supreme entertainment. Trust me, we tried this this afternoon.

Question of the Day: Do you go down three times before drowning? No, that is a myth. There are actually 6 stages of drowning. If you want to learn more about the science of drowning and what you can do to prevent it, look at this article.

Story of the Day: A woman that was in the hospital apparently didn't want to stay there. She jumped in a running, empty ambluence and just rode away. She got 5 miles away before anyone caught her. After being arrested, they returned her to the hospital into the mental health ward. Here is the link if you want to read more.

Yay! It is a wonderful day!

Hey everyone. I'm not really serious about it being a good day. It was okay, but everyone seems like they are in a foul mood. *Sigh* At least today wasn't too too bad. I finally get to post today because TWO friends blogged today, what is the chance of that? I'll give an update on everything that I think of that is going on.

First of all, I am typing this on my brothers computer for two reasons. One: they are at Camp Bourndale (one of the best field trips ever) and they can't stop me. Two: My laptop crashed...again. It think this thing is on its last legs. Arg!

Secondly, the debate club is growing! We now have 7 people, as opposed to the original two. Even some guest teachers have come in to contribute their two cents. If anyone is interested, come check it out. Share your ideas and even argue (which personally I love to do).

Band is getting harder and harder, especially the rythyms. There is this one song where I never saw any rythyms like it before. It is supposed to be a solo, but my band director is having another person play it with me, probally because I am a freshman.

Report cards are coming out tomorrow. I think I am set in everything except history. That is strange considering that it is my favorite subject. I don't like primary documents though because of the dryness of it all. I like the people part of it. But, I can't change what is already done, so hopefully I do okay.

We all know that the flu has been going around, (get better soon Allison!) and I really think that people should stop panicing. Both my little brothers had it...the swine.... but it wasn't even as bad as the normal flu. Really people, just get over it. It is probally just the media's huge influence that is causing people to freak out. If people were more knowledgable about the real facts, and not junk spoon fed to them, then the world would be a less ignorant place.

Question of the Day: Can you tickle someone to death? Is it a form of torture? Why are just some people ticklish? Question we have all asked ourselves, especially if you are extreamely ticklish, like me. It has taken me years of practice to control my ticklish streak. Read this link to find all the answers. It is really very interesting.
http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/188/is-it-possible-for-someone-to-be-tickled-to-death

Story of the Day: Ever want to meet your prince charming at the ball like Cinderella did? Well, in China, a company is holding several balls for millionares looking for brides. Fantasy in reality, huh? Read this article if you want to read more.
http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSTRE5AA3NU20091112?feedType=RSS&feedName=oddlyEnoughNews&rpc=22&sp=true

Wow, this was the longest post that I have ever written. Probally because I haven't posted in a long time. Hopefully talk to you soon!

Parade Pain. (and some Food Facts)

Today I spent looking at bride's maids' dresses. It was really fun! We found a few that would look great on all the girls, but no dresses really jumped out at us. If you know me, you know I don't like shopping, but this was actually fun. We had a couple of laughs at some of the dresses. It is amazing that people would actually wear some of the stuff that is out now a days.

Tomorrow is the Woburn Halloween Parade. Every band members worst nightmare. It is a good thing to scare people with, perfect for Halloween. The only good part is that all the money we get from it, yeah, we acutally earn money in parades, goes directly back to us. All the money goes towards the Virginia Beach trip that we are going on in April. That I am excited for.

Question of the Day: How many cows are slaughtered each year to make McDonalds hamburgers?
Based on some loose calculations (so this is probally far off from the right number) the number of cows slaughtered is about 10 million each year. Oh my. Think about that next time you order a hamburger.

Story of the Day: Half of all British people have been injured by food, on their snack breaks. 25 million people have been injured and 500 people end up in the hospital. Read the link below to find out what different types of foods cause all these injuries. All this dangerous food, for cows and humans. Strange theme.

Debate Club!

Calling the Court! I mean, club! Today we spent a great debate club arguing about wether school should be continued year round. Surprisingly the fors and againts tied. What are people thinking about these days? It is really fun arguing, you should try it sometime. What? You already do that? Really?

We started working on Christmas songs today in band. Isn't that scary? It isn't even Halloween yet, and I have "Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!" stuck in my head. On the plus side, I get to play a bagpipe duet with my friend Allison. (No, I do not actually play the bagpipes, which would be totally amazing, but the picalo combined with the alto saxophone, what I play, has that effect.) It is going to be awesome!

Question of the Day: Does sublimial advertising work? Well, the answer to that is no. It is everyone's worst fear though, being hypnotized into buying something. Imagine yourself watching TV, and being forced, unknowingly to do something you don't want to. A number of studies proved that it doesn't work, though many advertising companies have tried it. Evil!
http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/177/does-subliminal-advertising-work

Story of the Day: A mother was forced out of her shower wearing nothing but a towel when drug officers stormed...the wrong house. Imagine that happening to you!!! How bad is that?? They even burst through her door with a battering ram. Her petrified daughter was restrained when she attempted to run out of the house. Read more here.

Cutest Kids Ever. (and some earworms)

Hi, I was unable to go with my friends to the mall yesterday, :-(, but I did go and babysit my little cousins, a.k.a. the cutest kids ever. I go about an hour before they go to bed, and help put them to bed. Richy, the cutest 3 year old boy ever, tried to convince me to let him get up multiple times to check on his younger brother. (And a bathroom trip). It is fun, especially reading them stories and signing their goodnight songs. There were definately many aw... moments.

Story of the Day: Don't make this mistake on Halloween. Neighbors of a man that was shot and killed didn't report it to the police because they thought it was a Halloween decoration. Be sure to inspect the slumping bodies on the porches to make sure they are really fake, and not real dead people. Jeez people.

Question of the Day: Oh my gosh, you have to read this!!!!!!!!!! Everyone wonders why music gets stuck in their head. It is an unmistakable occurence where you end up listening to the same song a billion repay itself, when you don't even know it that well, or you hate it. Read the artile below if you want to know why (by the way, they are called earworms, creepy, I know). Finally somebody answers this question!!!

http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2901/why-do-songs-get-stuck-in-your-head

New Addition!

Hi. I don't want to talk about today. If you want to know what happened, come talk to me privately. Oh no. :-(

On the upside, I found a new website, something else to add to the blog!!!! Yeah!!!! It is a website that answer common, everday questions that everyone wants to know about. I will post the question of the day here, just like I have the story of the day. This should be interesting.

Question of the Day: Why is there stitching on the back pockets of Levi's jeans?

I'll tell you why, they originally were used to support the lining, but that stopped when it wasn't needed anymore. Eventually it became a trademark of the company, and they didn't take it off. If you want to read more, click below. http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/164/why-is-there-stitching-on-the-back-pockets-of-levis-jeans

Story of the day: This story is for all you art lovers out there. A girl who was working with plaster lost nearly all of her fingers in an accident. She accidentally allowed her fingers set in the stuff, and the teacher and paramedics couldn't get it off. It took a lot of surgery, and now she only has two fingers on one hand. Be careful!!
http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSTRE59B4G520091012?feedType=RSS&feedName=oddlyEnoughNews&rpc=22&sp=true

Tuesday is the new Monday. At least this week. *Sigh*.

Just thought I would take a break from my hard work and write this. I have all this makeup work to do, because I have to be out of school for the next few days. If you want to know why, come ask me about. Just for the record though, I'm not looking forward to it at all.

I hope the endless casem of high school will get better or at least stay the same as it is now. I don't think I could handle another huge interuption in my otherwise happy life. The best we all can do is stand tall and support eachother.

Back to homework, after the story of the day, of course.

Story of the day: The stories today both have to do with children. They are both unjustices, and I don't think I know which one is worse. This baby was denied proper health care because he was too fat. It turns out that his health care company wouldn't put him on the plan he had a prexisting condition of obisity. Read more here.
http://www.denverpost.com/ci_13530098

Next, this man was delibertly splashing children waiting for the bus with his car. Being a student who takes the bus myself, I would be absolutely livid if this happened to me. Why would you do such a thing???? You can watch the video on youtube, but get the story here.

Ignighting the Flame

Hey y'all. That southern accent is all I had to listen to yesterday, because my group leader for the retreat I went to was from Arkansas. (I don't know why they pronouce that the way they do, Ark-an-saw, shouldn't it be Ark-an-sas? I guess that they don't want they name to be over sassy :-)). It was 6 hours long, way to long for that sort of thing to go on. It wasn't as bad as the church thingys usually are though, because the people in it at least tried to make it interesting. Besides talking about God and "Ignighting the Flame" (that is what the retreat was called), I learned a lot more about the south, because of my group leader. The NET people (National Envangalization Team) were from all different parts of the country, which was cool. They all took a year off of college to do this retreat, so they were interesting people to talk to, with all sorts of different personalities. I met a cool girl from California too. It was interesting to hear their points of view.

Yeah for a day off!! Thank you Columbus for sailing the ocean blue in 1492!!! (I hope I got that right, it would be pretty sad if I didn't.)

Story of the Day: First the Nobel Peace Prize and now action figures? The first family has now been made into action figures. How much acknoledgement do they need? I think that it was ridiculous that the President recieved the Prize because he was just in office for two weeks when he was nominated! He didn't even do anything yet! Now, the latest action figure that has come out is of Michelle, featuring her most famous feature "her bare arms". Come on. Give me a break. Read more about the figures here.

HAPPINESS

I have the most unbelibable feeling of happiness right now. I just read a wonderful post about well...me!!! You should check out this awesome blog out, you can see it in the cool people's blogs section under Allison's Assylum. Thanks for being such a great friend. Because Lizzie already did an acrostic poem with he first name, I will do it with her middle name.

K: Kracy with a K!!! 'Cause that is the awesome version of it. (And she's awesome.)
I: Interesting to talk to. We never can stop talking about the weirdest things, trust me.
M: Miracle worker. She can do things that I can never dream of doing.
B: Beautiful on the inside and out.
E: Everlasting friend. Will never walk out on you.
R: Really, really, really, really really, really, really, really good musician.
L: Loves cats. A lot. She even goes to the vet with wiskers. :-)
Y: Yellow makes her think of me, even though I don't know why.

Yeah, so that is Allison in short. Very short. 'Cause she is a lot more than that.

I have decided to stop saying the homework for real this time, because the classes are so varied.

Story of the day: It serves the people in China right. They have chosen boys over girls for centuries, for many reasons, mostly because they carry on the name and take care of the family. A study has shown that soon 30 million men will not be able to find wifes because of this astounding difference. Read this article.

Hello!! I am very happy because I get to write again! I have been very busy lately. (And secrectly, I was waiting for some of my friends to write again before I did. Instead of just one, two wrote, so yeah!! That makes me happy. Go check them out. Strangely, their last posts were about eachother.)

School is just... well...school. Nothing really excited is going on. No, wait!!! We just started learning about biochemistry in science! Alright! (Oh, and if you can't tell, that is being totally sarcastic because I hate science. But don't tell my science teacher that I said that.

We do have more members in the debate club, which I think is awesome! It is really fun for those of you who go to my school, and should totally join!! Please???? Also, I am going on some pretty cool trips this year with groups that I'm in, like Virginia Beach with the band. I'm not sure if I'll make it into the theater yet. Hopefully!!!

Story of the day: A man carries a cross from Texas to Washington (the state). WOW. Only, it had weels, so it wasn't as tedious, but still. I mean, really? If you want to see why, look here.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,561520,00.html

Please Post!!

Hi, everyone who isn't my friend or doesn't have a blog, please ignore the title. But if you happen to fall into those catagories, shame on you!!! It has been almost a month since you last posted, and don't say you were too busy, 'cause I'm busy too and I still post. I am lonely posting all by myself. If it is a computer sitution, I feel sorry for you.

I just wanted to put forth two club options that I am interested in that all of you might find interesting also. First off, DRAMA. (It is in all capital letters because it is filled with drama, and drama is big.) This is a fun way to practice your public speaking skills, that involves beings someone your not and has much music in it, if that is your thing. (Oh yeah, it is my thing.) Next is Debate. This is also a good way to practice your public speaking skills, but has more of an intelectual edge to it. If you like to argue like I do, this is for you. Voice your opinions people!

Drama there is not problem with the quantaty, but for debate, we had to really work to get members in. It was kind of weird when only two people showed up, my friend who I asked to come along with me and I. So please come!!!

Homework: (It is amazing how little homework we have! Wahoo!!)

1. World Literature: Read chapter 12 and take notes.
2. History: Two worksheets.
3. Geometry: Page 87 #1-10, 13-18.

Story of the day: Chinise Dwarfs start their own village. They do everything themselves, including fire and police, and dress up like fairy tale people. They built their houses shaped like mushrooms, and have become a popular tourist location. You must be under 4ft 3inches to join. Pesonally, I think that they are demening themselves performing for all the "big" people. It is so cruel.

"I can't take it anymore!!!"

Hey ya'll. There is another football, the Amerian kind, tonight. Hopefully I won't make myself seem any stupider. Aside from the dress I have to wear (a really, really, really big band pullover), we have to "march" onto the field, and I have to learn all my tenor music (which, by the way, I haven't gotten yet) in 20 minutes. Oh well.

Lets get the homework portion over with.

1. Spanish: Blue sheet and spanish speaking countries project.
2. Biology: Lab report and learning journal, answer the questions from the lab today.
3. History: Signers project.

TGIF!!! X10000..... I REALLY need some sleep. Majorly. But, I'm sure we all do, so I won't complain about that.

Story of the Day: An translator in the G-20 Summit collapsed today after being unable to translate his difficult language into English. It was so hard to translate that he shouted, "I can't take it any more!" in Arabian and fainted. Weird events happening around the world leaders lately. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/international/translator_collapsed_during_khadafy_EAHR9j2jHOt8Y6TFRhrcQM

Funny Football (The European Kind!!!)

Yeah.... I had the worst day EVA!!!! (Sorry for the bad gramma, just thought it might be a good idear if I used my Bostonian accect a little. Show some pride people!) If you want to know more about it, just ask me in person, because some of the stuff that happened to me I am not putting on here, so too bad.



Here is the homework: I am too lazy to type out the homework.



JK!! Can't let my readers, (the few that I have) down!! But I won't type out the course and the teacher, just the subject, because that takes forever, and I'm tired, not to mention my bad day today. You know what I just relized? It would have probally have taken the same time to type all the subject information out as it did to type this paragraph. Hmm....

1. Spanish: Work on your country project. I'm doing Mexico. Fun.


2. English: Read chapters 5-6 and take notes. Chapter 6 test tomorrow.


3. Biology: Work on your lab report and learning journal.


4. History: Work on your signers project, also, do the worksheet.


5. Geometry: Read 2.3 and take notes.

As for the title. I got a few comments relating soccer, as I like to call it. "Smith" wants me to do a story about funny football. (I think that he was reading my last post and thought it was futball, not American football. In America we call futball, soccer. Confusing, I know.) This is a perfect time to bring up that I read everyone's comments, and act upon them, wether I know you or not. First of all, I want to say thank you to "Smith" for reading my blog, and commenting. The videos you showed me were very entertaining. In your honor, I will provide a video like yours I found online. Go soccer football (which strangely, we played today in gym, except it is called handball. Stop confusing me with all the different names, will you!!!) Oh, right. Man, in this post I am really rambling, on and on and on.....

Football Fury

Sorry for the lack of writing in the last week. I have been VERY busy. Yesterday, we went to the first high school football game of the and yeah!! It was fun, but um.. yeah, we lost by 20. Oh well. At least it was a time to hang out with friends and have a great time.

Today I'm just going to hang out with some friends and relax, and save all my homework for tomorrow. Here it is:

1. World Literature Honors Mr. Froburg: Read chapter 1 of Mockingbird and take notes. Start to answer the question.
2. Biology Honors Mrs. Rav: Work on learning journal!!!! Or start it, if you haven't yet.
3. Geometry Honors Ms. E: I don't know, so go look it up. (Its in the book 2.1)

Here is the story: You hear of the domino effect all the time, but this time, it was not a fun game played with dominos. It was a humongous accident with 30 mortercycles. Trafic slowed in front of the motercycles, and the first two managed to get out of the way, but the rest banged into each other. Many were injured and 2 critically hurt.

Come day go day, wish in me heart it was Sunday! (Or Saturday for that matter)

Hello. The refrence above is to the Irish folk song, Whiskey on a Sunday.
http://www.wtv-zone.com/phyrst/audio/nfld/04/whiskey.htm
I really wish it is the weekend, but, alas! It is only Monday. Stupid Mondays. They should not exist. The only problem with them not existing is that Tuesdays would become like the new Monday, so the whole thing would be pointless anyway.

Sorry for that. Sometimes I just like to get the things that I'm thinking in my head out, so yeah, now I'm done.

Today was just an average day. Only, I didn't realize it was picture day until first period when they called us down to take the pictures. So I ended up looking really stupid. I usually look really stupid in pictures anyway, (I take horrible pictures) and I can't smile on command, so I guess it wouldn't matter whether I knew or not.

And I'm not even talking about the election, so there.

Homework:

1. Spanish I Honors Ms. Silva: Test tomorrow in useful phrases.
2. World Literature Honors Mr. Froburg: Finish reading the dinasoar story and write a short story using the vocab words.

4. Health: Get a notebook.
5. Primary Documents Honors Mrs. Myers: Work on journals and the test is on Thursday. Journals are due Wednesday.
6. Geometry Honors Mrs. E: Page 29 numbers 1-17

Story of the day: A drunken teen in France was run over by a train. But he didn't even get a scratch. The train went right over him and didn't even remotely touch him. All that got harmed was his jacket, which suffered some grease stains. How stupid can you be though, even when your drunk, to take a nap on the railroad tracks. What could he have been thinking? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32839794/ns/world_news-europe/

Shots

Hello everyone. I just got my flu shot today,after waiting almost a half hour. We arrived really early at my doctor's office and were second in line, a line that later went out the door and down the sidewalk outside. Once they actually let us in, it went by pretty quickly, thank goodness.

Homework:

Man! We had homework in every subject last night.

Story of the day: This makes me feel really safe. After a large crime spree in a town, a security company was made to install security cameras. Not an outrageous request. But later, the residents found out that all the cameras were fake. People are such jerks! http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/orl-security-cameras-fake-metrowest-090809,0,3524278.story

Hello everyone. Just another normal day at school, which was not to bad, although long. I hate having to change for gym. At least they didn't make us work too much today, playing ultimate frisbee. Wierd not having much to talk about.

Here is the story: Do you want some fancy bloomers (underwear for all those who don't speak British)? Well, your too late because the auction that was offering some authentic Queen Victorian bloomers just closed. Final prince, $989. Those are some stately underpants. http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2009/09/08/Victorias-big-bloomers-sell-for-989/UPI-75771252437710/

Three Cheers for Old Notre Dame!

Yeah, I know that it is treachery to love Nortre Dame (the college) instead of BC around here, but that is the way that I've always been and that is the way I will always stay. My uncle from Alaska is actually sitting right next to me when I am writing this, and you should of seen my grandmother's face when he walked through the door. We helped with the surpise, and it was worth all the cleaning just to see the double take on her face. It was hilarious!

Tonight a bunch of my family is coming to watch the first Notre Dame game of the year, which is deppressing because that means that fall is really here, and summer is just something out of fantasy again. Labor day weekend is pretty much the end. So anyway, we are having a mini party today and it should be fun.

Homework:

1. Honors World Literature Mr. Froburg: Finish reading the rest of the story The Dangerous Game.
2. Honors Biology Mrs. Rav: Start working on your learning journal. There is also a safety quiz on Tuesday. Don't forget to get both forms signed and brought in.

Story of the Day: A history buff that likes to recreate Civil War cannons had an accident the other day. He shot a two pound cannonball into through his wall into a neighbors house. At least the cannon worked!

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,546540,00.html?test=latestnews

Today was most definately better than yesterday. There was smoother transitions, and pretty much everything was less complicated. I even found where my locker was, so I don't have to carry around a horribly heavy bag.

Homework:

1. Honors Biology with Mrs. Rav: Sign the forms and bring them back in. Don't forget to finish your famous faces sheet.
2. Honors U.S. Primary History: Bring in an article for current events.

Story of the day: Happy Birthday to you... 50 year old fridge! Wacky. This couple is celebrating the birthday of their fridge. Wierd. Here is the link.

First Day At High School

Wow. Its all over. It all happened so fast. I can't believe that I didn't even see some people that I wanted to see today at all. Some of my friends I barely saw passing in the hallway. It seemed like all my classes were on the direct opposite side of the school from the previous one. At least I have some friends in some of my classes and I am not totally alone to go through that which is High School freshman year. I was surprised when I saw some sophmores in my class, but I figured out why eventually. Everything is going to be okay.

Homework: (ahh!! On the first day of school? Really? I thought I wouldn't be typing in this section for a while.)

1. Sign ALL forms from Homeroom (Ms. Eynatian) , Spanish I (Ms. Silva Honors class), English (Mr. Froburg World Literature I Honors class) , Band (Mr. Eaton Honors class), History (Ms. Myers Primary U.S. History Honors class), and Geometry (Ms. Eynatian Geometry Honors class).
2. Honors Biology (Mrs. Ravgiala): Famous scientist research sheet is due on Thursday.
3. World Literature I (Mr. Froburg): Test on summer reading is tomorrow!! Better be prepared.

Story of the day: Here are two stories proving that people should really have stupid signs around their necks. If you don't know what I am talking about, read these jokes, they are really funny: http://www.snopes.com/humor/jokes/heresign.asp

First story: These few people preform the perfect robbery, until they forget their keys inside the bank they were robbing. Some other robber gave them a ride: http://www.delawareonline.com/article/20090901/NEWS01/909010348/1006/NEWS

Second story: This teenager was swimming while camping in her bikini and spotted a shadowy figure on the opposite bank. No, she said it wasn't a perverted guy, it was a perverted yeti. Not kidding. Now all the yeti hunters are trying to find the "yeti" that she saw spying on her. http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?Bikini_girl:_Pervert_yeti_stalked_me&in_article_id=728952&in_page_id=2&6

Oh noooooooooooo!

School. Tomorrow. No need to say anymore.

Story of the day: We all love the Home Alone movies, right, how could you not? Well apparently the star, yes the little kid who was left home alone, was close friends with Michael Jackson. Very close friends. Obviously he is grown up now, and he is the father of Jackson's child Blanket. By the way, does anyone else think that is a extreamly strange name. Read more to get some sense out of it all. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2614985/Home-Alone-Macaulay-Culkin-is-dad-of-Blanket.html

REAL Golf

Hey everybody. This officially is my last day of summer. Tomorrow my aunt has teacher meetings and stuff, so we are going to baby sit my little cousins. Where did the summer go???

We spent today at church, Good Tymes resteraunt (one of the best resteraunts in the entire universe), and mini golfing at Kimbles. Someone asked if I liked golf at all, and I said yeah. But, unfortunately, the windmill gets me tied up all the time. If you don't get that, you would absolutely hate my sense of humor. I am very satirical (if you don't know what that means, go and look it up dummy) and I love making fun of things. As for the result of the day's work (mini golf scores) I won with an astounding score of 11!! I beat my brothers whose scores were 21 and 31!! All in all, along with a trip to Sullivans, we had a great time.

Story of the day: What a great thing to kill someone over. Two rival gangs in this school fought over a lunch seat that both groups said was in their "territory". If kids are KILLING people over stupid stuff like this, our world is becoming a horrible place. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,26001995-421,00.html

Fenway Specail Moment

My aunt and uncle are amazing! Last night they took us to the red sox game. They started out the game with a moment of slience for Ted Kennedy, who died yesterday night. It was a nice thought, especailly when he threw the first pitch of the season. Some jerks decided to scream during it, which was a horrible thing to do. The strange thing is that every game that I have gone to, Big Papi has hit at least one home run. Last night was no exception when he hit two walk offs, one was a game winning one. I was at the game when he hit his first home run of the season, and I was at the game last year when he hit a grand slam.

Story of the day: If you are looking for a new home, I have found quite an interesting one for you. In New York City, there is the famous 9 and 1/2 foot house. It is now on the market for 2.75 million dollars. But hey, isn't it worth it to be able to say that you live in the narrowest house out there. Check it out. http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2009/08/26/9-12-foot-wide-NY-home-on-sale-for-275M/UPI-68891251324732/

Eewwwwwwwwww!!

There is a time in everyone's house owning experience that they need to empty their septic tank. For my grandmother, that time is now. We are spending much of the day inside, with ALL the windows closed waiting for the septic guys to leave. Trust me, it is a truly disgusting process. To top it all off, the people are 1 hour and 1/2 late.

We went and saw Bandslam yesterday. No offence to the movie people, but it was very high school musicalish. At least it was a better version of High School Musical, much more interesting. But hey, think of something new movie writers!!!

Oh, and vinella fraps are the best in the universe.

Story of the day: Ahhhhh!!! THE DINOSORS ARE COMING BACK!!!!
...from chickens. I know, I know, that seems unlikely. But scientists in Canada are trying to minipulate the DNA of chickens to create the anatomy of dinosors. So, if you see a dinosor walking down your street, blame the Canadians. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.60b96f71bf4ba4781f8a5d3a49a22a0e.5f1&show_article=1

Toes in the Sand, Guns in the Hand

I got back from a trip up north just a few minutes ago. It was a fun day, for the most part.

First of all, I finished my summer reading finally. It took forever to answer all the questions and even with my tiny writing it took up six full pages. It is an injustice to make us have work during the summer, much less test us on it. And while I'm complaining, they should tell us the bus routes and class lists before almost the first day of school. It's not fair to make us wait. Ok. I'm done now.

I have discovered every grown man's paradise. It is called Cabela's. (This was the guns in the hand part of the title.) It is an outdoor outfitting store, and be careful if you let any guy in there, because it will be a very long time before you will be able to get them out again. If you are ever in Maine, go check it out - along with the (Main or Maine) Dinner. That place has really good food.

Later on we went an walked on the beach a litle bit. (This is the toes in the sand part of the title.)A long ride there and back, but it is good to take a long trip every once in a while.

Story of the day: This is a day with more than one story. There was so much ridicousness today that I have to give you the choice of what you want to read.

1. African nation turns the Simpsons brown. Not kidding. http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSTRE57K3GS20090821?feedType=RSS&feedName=oddlyEnoughNews&rpc=22&sp=true
2. This man can't go to jail because, well, he has trees to prune. http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2009/08/21/Judge-unswayed-by-tree-pruning-plea/UPI-56861250885602/
3. A Cambodian village worships a cow with reptile skin. I know its weird. http://sg.news.yahoo.com/ap/20090821/tap-as-cambodia-holy-cow-d3b07b8.html
4. A man stole a painting of the Virgin Mary to pay for the abortion of a teenage girl he raped. That is just outragous. Sometimes people make me so mad. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,541682,00.html?test=latestnews

So, choose the one you want to read. I just couldn't decide by myself which one to put down.

9 MORE DAYS UNTIL SCHOOL STARTS. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Long day with hands in my mouth.

Today I spent 3 1/2 hours going from braces people (can't spell what they are called) to the dentist back to the braces people to take care of my teeth. It has been a horrible day so far. I especailly hate the dentist when they put the tray of gunk on your teeth. Hopefully I won't have to do it all in one day again, because it was torture!

Story of the day: Alright, so picture the story I'm going to tell you. You steal a car, burn rubber down the street away from the police that are chasing you. You realize there is no way out, so you jump out of the car and start to run. You look behind you to see if they are catching up and BAMMMM!!!! You slam into the telephone pole. How stupid can you be?? What a horrible way to get caught. Read the story here. http://www.lfpress.com/perl-bin/publish.cgi?x=articles&p=272782&s=hottopics

Flip flops can kill you!!!!!

Phew! I don't know how moms do it everyday. We spent the day taking care of my young cousins, and man, they really love to play... all day. I feel really bad for my aunt though, because she just had surgery today, and she is in a lot of pain. She can't even lift any of them up, which stinks for all of them. Hope you feel better!!

Story of the day: Flip flops can kill you. Ahhhh!!! All teenage girls are doomed!!! (and some guys, although, personally, I think that is weird.) There are some strange germs on there. If more girls read this article, they would all switch to sneakers, immeadiatly. Unless they didn't care that they could die. I think most girls would rather keep flip flops and die than give them up. Read this to protect yourself, it has some pretty good tips in it. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32453516/ns/today-today_health/flipflop

Beach Park

Today I helped take my little cousins Molly, Richy and Timmy to the Beach Park as we call it. Most of the time I spent with Timmy, and man, he really knows how to tire a girl out. All around he wanted to go, going up the slide and taking all the possible risks he could. Because he is just 1 1/2, he had to be watched every single second, and although fun, very tiring.

Only 16 more days 'til school starts!!! OMG!!!!

Here is the story: For the green thumbed people of the world, water your tomato plants with your pee. I know this sounds weird, but it is true. It is much better than no fertilizer, and equal to putting fertilizer on. Look here to see that I am telling the truth. http://blogs.laweekly.com/squidink/gardening/fertilizer-tomato-drought/

Cloths shopping done!

Everyone knows that I absolutly hate shopping. Well, finally, I am finished back to school shopping. Wahooooo!!!!! I have new sneakers, clothes, and all sorts of things like that. It is scary to think that there is only 17 more days until school starts. Hopefully it will go by as slowly as possible.

Arggg!!!! My O key is broken and it is taking me a ridiculously long time to type this thing!!

Here is the story of the day. Afghanistan just passed a law that allowed men to starve their wives if they don't do what they say. Personally, I think that is sick. Please read more so everyone can become more aware of this horrible situation. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/aug/14/afghanistan-womens-rights-rape?ntw

New Room!!

Phew!!! I have totally rearanged my room today, gone through all my clothes and cleaned everything in it. It looks great, and I have a lot more room now. Can't wait to show all you guys. It looks completely differently now.

This morning we cleaned out the garage and found these two hope chest full of my (I think) great-great-grand-aunt's jewelry. I can't even tell you how much of it there was, but it took us almost two hours to go through. Some of it was very pretty, but most of it was extremely huge and gawdy. It was really cool looking through what she spent her money on, and you could really tell her personality that showed through her jewelry.

Story of the day: A woman in China wanted to try and find her place in the record books when she creates a wedding train on her dress that was 1.2 miles long. Imagine what a pain in the neck that would be to walk around in. It must of been really heavy!!!! Here is the link if you want to read more: http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSTRE5751VE20090806?feedType=RSS&feedName=oddlyEnoughNews&rpc=22&sp=true

Happy Birthday Hayley!

We had a great time at Hayley's birthday party!! Hope she had a great time too. Unfortunately we all stink at bowling, trust me, we are really, really bad. Even with the bumbers we were doing horribly. We had a great time at 4:00 in the morning spraying each other with glow sticks (not me, them) and playing camera hide and seek. If you have never done that, it is really fun. We watched "Fired Up" for a while too. That is certainly a weird movie. Happy Birthday Hayley!!

Tomorrow I am going to Katie's engagement party, and I am a bridesmade in her wedding. I am really looking forward to going. Tonight, I am just going to go to bed early and sleep in late.

Here is the story. This one comes from India. It is a ritual of dropping babies off of a roof to promote well being to them and their parents. The children are caught in a bedsheet to prevent them from hurting themselves, but it still seems pretty dangerous to me. Read more here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,535845,00.html?test=latestnews

Eat Blue M&Ms if you hurt your back!

Today I helped my aunt set up her class room. It was really hot because there was no air conditioning, but it was fun to help her out. We got most of it done today, and afterwards I got to spend a lot of time with Molly, Richy and Timmy which is never a downside. They get cuter and cuter everyday.

Story: Eating M&Ms can improve your spinal health if you hurt yourself. The stuff, what ever it is, you can read in the story, in the blue die of the blue M&Ms helps you get better sposively. You can read more about it in here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,535142,00.html?test=latestnews

Air Conditioning is a Life Saver!!

I just want to send an amazing thank you to the guys that fixed my air conditioning yesterday. It would have been horrible to spend today in the heat.



We moved out of the lake house also yesterday. It was sad, but we had a great time there. Hopefully we will be able to go back there next year.



Here is the story of the day and it is certainly a strange one. Churches in the UK are now being made to veiw overweight and bald people as having special needs. I guess that would mean most of America would have specail needs. Here is the link if you want to read more details. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/5906980/Church-tells-worshippers-to-give-special-treatment-to-overweight-or-bald-people.html

Moving Out

Sadly, we have to move out of the lake house by this Saturday. Today is our last day that we are spending at the lake. I never thought it would be so much work to move all the stuff out of a house, well most of it anyways. It has been fun.

The day that I came home from my "birthday party", I found out that our air conditioning broke down. The guy that is coming to fix that and our furnace is coming tomorrow so we spent a few hours this morning cleaning out part of the basement were those things are. We found a bunch of interesting stuff like an excersise bike and weights, old Christmas stuff, a book shelf full of books, and an endless other amount of random cool stuff. It was interesting.

Story of the day: This is a weird story. This is a transgender mayor wore a very strange outfit to a town meeting. He/She wore a bathing suit top, a mini skirt and high heels. Here is the link to read about it: http://www.katu.com/news/local/51532412.html

Family Gone

My family is all gone from the lake house and all is quiet again. We baby sat again for my aunt and tomorrow we will be going back to stay again.

Anyone start summer reading yet? I sort of did. I just hope that it won't be too hard to answer all the questions.

For the story today, I feel sorry for the astrunauts that have to all share one bathroom up on the space station. Let me note that there are 13 people using it. Supposively the other one flooded...I wouldn't want to be the one cleaning up that mess. Here is the link: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5g8gpZRl3t8mV2RxsVjIuPU75dJeAD99HQS7G0

Wonderful Birthday Party

Hey everybody!! I had an awesome time at my birthday party thrown to me by Allison, thank you. Thank you for all my presents and just the overall time. No Willy Wonka season tickets for us though because we are so impatient. At least we had a great time walking around and visiting the museum.

When I got home I went out to eat at the Lilac Blossum with everyone. I saw Lucas for the first time today in a few years. Back at Nana's house we all played our classic wiffle ball game outside, and though my team always lost, they would have been sorry if they let me throw underhand. :-)

Story of the day, a girl walking into a man hole while she was texting. What has the world come to??? Now we can't even walk anymore?? How can we be so stupid? She claims that it wasn't her fault, which I think it ridicous. Here is the link if you want to read more: http://wcbstv.com/local/texting.manhole.raw.2.1081403.html

Champion Chimp? Bubbles!!!

We are home from the lake because of the rain, and because I am going camping tomorrow. Fun hopefully in the sun. I am in love with the lake especially with the kayaks there. Can't wait to get back, especailly when my cousins from Alaska get there.

News for the day, one reporter was strange enough to try and find Michael Jackson's pet chimp, Bubbles, currently in a zoo. I mean, leave the poor chimp ALONE! It probally hated being Jackson's pet. Good thing he finally got some common sense and put it in the santuary. Here is the link:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1196978/Michael-Jacksons-pet-Bubbles-alive-animal-sanctuary-wont-going-funeral.html

Happy 4th of July!

Hello everyone and happy holidays! Wait...that is a Christmas thing, sorry! Hope all of you are going to see the fireworks, and having plenty of fun today! I already have a horrible sun burn, but I don't care because I am having fun up here!

News of the day: the Statue of Liberty is reopened! Now visitors can go up to the crown and see the sights of New York. Finally our country is gaining enough confidence after 9/11 to make this kind of step forward. Here is the link: http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2009/07/03/2009-07-03_lady_libertys_reopening_is_a_triumph_of_the_american_idea.html

Happy Birthday America!

At the Lake!

So far, aside from the rain, I have had a ton of fun here at the lake house. Fishing, boating, swimming (well, at least not the swimming part yet because the wealther is so horrible), and much more fun stuff to do. There are a bunch of kids that will be coming up to stay around here, like the 15 year old boy next door and the 13 year old girl across the street, and my cousins that are coming will make it even more fun. More information about my fun expirences to come.

First one to tell, I almost drowned my uncle, NOT on purpose though. I was pulling his kyak up on the beach and pulled a little too hard and he fell in. He got to the be the first one to go swimming though. :-)

Also, the news for the day kind of ties into the news from yesterday. Appenently Billy Mayes, (if you don't know who he is, he is the Oxy Clean Guy that yells alot) died too. He is the third, maybe even forth or fifth celebrity that has died this week. What is with this?? Some girl that I don't know died, then Jackson, and now the "Oxy Clean" guy!!!! Is the world trying to be rid of all these strange people. Well, think about it. Michael Jackson was just disturbed, just read his life story and you will understand what I mean. Billy Mayes was just plain annoying. And you know what is weird, they both died at 50!! Who will be next? Okay, I'm done with my rant now. Here is the link: http://www.digitalspy.com/showbiz/a162619/infomercial-star-billy-mays-dies-aged-50.html

Michael Jackson....Dead!!!!

Hello everyone. I haven't posted because of the business of the first week of summer vacation. I have been helping Mary Jo (my aunt for those of you who don't know) with her kids, Molly and Richy, 3 year old twins, and Timmy, a 1 year old. Speaking of which, I am going with her to go and give the kids their haircuts. This is very exciting because it will be Timmy's first one!!!!

Tomorrow we are going to the lake! Hopefully the weather will improve before we leave, because I am sick of the rain. How can we enjoy the lake house when we are stuck inside for the entire week. Oh well. Maybe things will turn out okay for us.

Story of the day, Michael Jackson is dead! Supposively, he died in cardic arrest. The world is morning his dealth, though I'm not because I am sure that he did molest those kids, even though he was aqquited from the charges. Here is the link: http://www.latimes.com/news/la-me-jackson-autopsy27-2009jun27,0,2562884.story

Imaginary?

Going on the Freedom Trail was actually much better than I thought it was going to be. Mrs. Cassidy just gave one of us the map and said, go where ever you want. We went to Dunkin Donuts and a bunch of other shops, and half the time we weren't even on the Freedom Trail (over-exaggerating).

The semi was fun too, I don't think there was a single moment that we were standing still, except to take pictures!!! Fun week has been truely fun so far.

This story is so amazing you might think is imaginary. You HAVE to feel sorry for this puppy. You know that some kids think that they can get their pets clean by putting them in the toliet and flushing...well, the puppy was a little small. Yes, he did get flushed down the pipes, but he got stuck. Luckily, he was right below a manhole in the street so the rescurers could dig down and get him out. Now he is clean and unhurt, and all is well. No more will that little boy want to give his dog a bath. Here is the link: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/us_world/2009/06/16/2009-06-16_puppy_.html

What a Note!

Hello everyone! Today I went to get my nails done for semi, which was fun. It is so weird that the end of the year is just this week! Soon we will be in high school, scary...

What would you do if you missed school to see the president? Well, get a note of course! This girl named Kennedy went with her father on the last day of school to see the president speak and was worried about getting into trouble. When her father stood up to ask a question, and mentioned Kennedy, the president, in all seriousness, said that he would give her a note. With everyone watching, he wrote it down on part of his papers and give it to her personally. What would you do if that was you?? Amazing. Here's the link to the full story. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31271867/

Aieta (if that is how you spell it)

I am going to go to the high school show, Aieta tonight. It should be AMAZING, like most of the high school work is. I am going with Allison and Amber, so we should have a great time.

I can't believe that finally, we are done learning in our eighth grade year. Not that we actually learned anything today, because we were just doing stuff that was fun, most of it. I loved Ms. Ferreira's goodbye speeches. They make everyone feel so specail, and that is a great thing to do.

Good news today: Red Sox are 8-0 against the yankees with their 4-3 win against them yesterday. Isn't that great?! This is the first time they have done this since 1912! Read this article to learn more: http://www.lowellsun.com/ci_12575534. Hopefully there will be many more wins to come.

A New World Record!

Hello everyone. I can't believe this is our last day of school! (Well, the actual learning school anyway. All the quizzes are done, all notes behind us, and we are ready to move on to high school. Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!! Sorry. The reality just hit me. Oh well.

Any way, the story for the day. I was looking around and thought, hey, why not get some news about kids in the area. While looking, I found a story about some baseball and softball players that played a game for a record 36 hours!! It was really a match up of different teams succeeding eachother about every hour. The score was 290 to 272, amazing! Read all about it at: http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2009/06/wrentham_kids_t_1.html.

I bet most of you already know about Adam, yes the one on American Idol, being gay. So, I don't feel like talking about that, because we all already knew, so I think I am done for the day. See you tomorrow!

Tyngsborough in the news!

I was looking around the internet for some interesting news to share with you, and I found this link! Here, for our small little town's 200th birthday, Mike Knight is the parade marshal. Listen to what he has to say about his job: http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid13105315001?bclid=1612721902&bctid=25801376001

Here is the homework:

1. Science: Study those fish! Make sure you also finish, or start if you are like me, the paper on the fish restoration project.

If you are interested in the history of how Tyngsborough got its name, and seeing an actor who protrays the actual Mr. Tyng, read this article. This man put the Tyng in Tyngsboro!

http://www.lowellsun.com/ci_12559655

Tomorrow, I promise won't be about Tyngsborough. I'll find something else to talk about.

Tom Sawyer Conclusion.

Hello everyone! See, I am getting used to this blogging thingy again. I have a bunch of stuff to talk about, so stay tuned.

First, the homework:

1. ELA: Finish up, or start, if you are in my class, the Tom Sawyer Analisis. I can't believe that she still expects my class to do it by tomorrow, even though she just told us about it today. At least she didn't make us do the test today. Luckily, the laptops stoped working as soon as she was going to make us take it.
2. Science: Study those fish!

Well, you are probally wondering what, study those fish means. In science, because he has nothing left to teach us, he is teaching us to identify 10 spieces of fish that are local around the area. It was interesting, but is smelled A LOT!! I feel sorry for Lizzie, who had to sit right next to the jars.

One scandal to mention: after one of the concerts at Fenway, someone brought in weed. NO, not the kind you are thinking of, grass seed. Except it wasn't a normal type of grass seed, no, it was YANKEE grass seed. They accidently planted it in front of the red soxs' dug out, so hopefully, nothing will come of it, if you believe. Here is a link if you want to read more: http://www.sportsofboston.com/2009/06/09/yankees-fan-plants-grass-seed-in-fenway-park/

Oooooo... I wonder what more interesting stuff will come up ahead. Be sure to check out the Bicentenial on Saturday. Will mention more about that tomorrow or sometime later. Hopefully will post tomorrow.

Back at the end of the school year!

I am soo sorry that I haven't written in such a long time! The past few months have been unbelievable busy, and this past week is the first time I have gone home on the bus because of all the activities.

Here is the homework:

1. Math: page blah blah blah. Problems #10-22. That is just what I remember off the top of my head. Last chapter of the book!!! Wahoo!!
2. ELA: Oh My! The Adventures of Tom Sawyer test is tomorrow. Study up! Also, write your speech for the graduation. Good luck in winning the competition! Try and finish your notes if you haven't already. Something is due Wednesday, but she didn't tell my class, so I can't tell you what it is.

It was weird not going to band today, but instead we went outside and monitored the logic challenge. I had to replace Chelsea in it because the teams were unfairly matched, so that was interesting.

I really don't want to learn how to identify fish. I don't mind learning it, but I would much rather learn something that I am totally interested in that is still related to science. But that is okay.

It is weird having nothing to do after school. It's not that I am saying that that is a bad thing, it is just different from what I am used to doing.

Wow, March!

I can't believe how busy I have been in the past two months. Between school, afterschool activities and just all the junk that has been going on I haven't even thought about blogging. There just wasn't the time.

Over this period of time, nobody has probally read this, so I am just doing it for myself now, which is perfectly fine. As always I will begin with the homework:

1. Math: Big test on Monday. Study or practice up.
2. Science: Finish the lab. If your group was like my group, we barely had enough time to finish crunching the numbers. Good thing Mr. Chaple let us take it home to finish.

Today was just a day that had nothing going on besides the normal Sunday stuff. Hopefully there will be more days like this so I can write on here more often.

Martin Luther King Day

Happy Martin Luther King Day everyone! Remember to devote a few minutes of today to remember the wonderful things that Martin Luther King did for us and the country. Here is the homework:

1. ELA: STUDY!!! Big final on Wednesday! Don't wait until tomorrow night to begin to study.

Molly and Richy were wicked cute at their birthday party. They couldn't believe that they got presents for their birthday, because nobody told them that they got them for their birthday. Their faces were priceless.

I can't believe that I made it into the UML Jounior Wind Ensemble! I can't wait to begin practicing with the college kids. I am sure that it will be a great experience for me. Wahoo!!

Snow Day!!

We finally have a well deserved break from all that homework!! I have had more homework in the last two days than I had in the whole last week of school that we had before vacation. Here is the homework:

1. S.S. Finish taking the notes. If you didn't do this yesterday like you were supposed to, do it today.
2. Math: We have a test tomorrow and the cummulative review is due.
3. ELA: The note cards are due and we might have the fina l tomorrow, study up.
4. Science: Measure the lines, because he is giving us a test on measuring tomorrow.

I am hoping that I can just get some much needed r&r today.
