Basketball!

First basketball game was today. Just the JV guys. Which I think was basically the same as the varsity guys. They played Hearts for Jesus. Homeschool group team. They weren't very good. We won 39 to 20-something though we could have done much better. TJ's the only guy from my class playing. Out of the two guys in my class. Josh was playing. But now he's not. :sadface: I worked in the concession stand with Sara and Eveline. And Sara burned the popcorn. And blamed it on Ev. And Joseph was there with Luke and Justin. And he came up to the concession stand and kept criticizing and asking questions about the pricing and wording of the menu sign. I have a box of Nerds and Gatorade. Disgusting amounts of sugar are in me. I feel flitty and strange. Flitty isn't a word. I don't care. Whee. Very super happy fan person type post tomorrow with squee-type things. Yaaaay sugar!

Fun stuff.

I am such a lazy procrastinator. I need to write stuff on here more. Thanksgiving was fun. Really cool. Except for my cold, but whatever. On Thursday, went over to my grandma's house for food and stuff. Cassie and Danielle and Aunt Diana came up from Columbus. We ate. And we played card games. I loves the card games. We played solitare with eight people. That is fast. It's impossible to keep up. And very little room. And lots of hands going everywhere. And 20-something aces all over the table. Super fun. Matt, Derek, Sarah, Danielle, and I tried doing crosswords from a book for 15-ish minutes, but gave up out of frustration. Then Phase 10. With six or seven people. A third of the way through the game, Ramsey came over, so he started one phase behind whoever was in last. I got stuck on phase six for ten turns. And then Ramsey won. So that was kinda depressing. But not. It was fun. And it also took about four hours. On Friday, my family went to cousins on the other side's house. And ate. We wanted to play DDR or some Crash Bandicoot racing game. But Abby couldn't find their PS2. And so Jess looked. And I did, and so did their mom. But we couldn't find it anywhere. So we didn't play it. We played Phase 10. And this time I won, and the game went by fast. Weird. On Saturday, Kara and I went to my aunt Brenda's house where Matt and Danielle and Cassie and Aunt Diana were. And other people came to eat lunch. We played solitare again, and I did better. We play to 100 and I usually end up with something like negative twenty, but this time I had 50. Then we went to watch Beowulf which is not a good movie. The dragon is not Beowulf's son; Beowulf kills Grendal's mother. And I wish Beowulf'd fight with his clothes on. We came back home and watched Benchwarmers. That movie is much more funny than I thought it'd be. I shall have to borrow it. I watched Wordplay four or five times over break. I love that movie. Crosswords, Jon Stewart, Tyler's Trogdor shirt, and They Might Be Giants music. I'm doing The Plain Dealer's crossword every day in school now. Which I think are taken from the LA Times. On Tuesday's puzzle, I finished it except for two squares. And two other letters were wrong. Today, I have a bunch of it not done. But Emily and Brittni and Mr. Wright help. And I do the one in The Chronicle too. But their clues are harder and dumber.

Music is my daddy. Music's my imaginary friend.

Today was fun. From 12 to 5:30, I made pumpkin rolls at Sara's house. That our class is selling at school. It was fun. One of the bread parts came out of the pan in four pieces though. Ground nutmeg and ginger smell horrible. Then I went bowling with my church church's youth group. From 7ish till 9. I did pretty well. I had the highest score the first game out of all 10 of us. Yay. And I got three strikes and six spares in two and a half games. And my scores were 112, 89, and 50 at the fifth frame of the third game. I know all this because we kept scores on papers which are sitting right in front of me. My average was 1.6 points higher than Jonathan's. Bwahaha. The end.

I am extremely lazy. Wow.

Yes. I haven't updated anything on here for two weeks. Man. I always read everything on my friends page though. Just haven't posted. We had our second annual dodgeball tournament like two weeks ago. Chuck, Tyler L., Tyler W., Carissa, and I were on a team, and we got third. Fun stuff. We were the white team and our name was the Purple Flowers. Took the SAT on Saturday. I think I did really really well on it. All the English and reading questions were super easy; I didn't know how to do maybe ten math questions, and that was it. And I liked the essay topic. If more choices make us happy. Pff, no. And... I can't think of anything else. Currently I am burning a ton of CDs of recent Colbert Reports. I have them back through June up through September-ish. Must get the rest. AND. The Best of the Colbert Report DVD's out tomorrow, and I shall be buying that. At Best Buy. Because it said in the Sunday ads that it comes with a bonus disc. Yay. I wish The Paper Soldier would be published already. It was originally supposed to be in like... 1999. Or something. I dunno. Darn you and your time consuming success, Hugh Laurie!

Doompity dawesome

Today in English, Miss Reeves wrote the word "heroes" on the board, and we were supposed to put who is a hero of ours/to us and why. This is why I love my class. Heroes Mr. Bill durable Bono is sweet Abraham Lincoln got rid of slaves Chuck Norris amazing Bear Grylls "the stream incident" Stephen Colbert truthiness Bob Hope funny My DAD! Miss Reeves said that truthiness wasn't a word. I said it was. She said that truthfulness was a word, but truthiness wasn't. I told her to believe me. Then, not so much to her as to myself "Look it up. In your gut."

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain

Walk-a-thon was today! It was pretty good. It was also pretty cold. And pretty leaves and their pretty colors. Also, pretty fun. I walked at the front the whole time. Except for when Mr. Wright decided he'd jog for like 15 minutes from where we turned around all the way back to the place we ate lunch. He's crazy. Not really. He's super cool. When we first started walking, TJ and Josh and I discussed last night's episode of The Office. Michael and Dwight sitting out in a restauraunt parking lot on Dwight's car imitating and making fun of Ryan was great. And Michael calling Angela "booster seat". I love that so much. "Phyllis. This is a spoon. It has a round top and is used for scooping." And then we talked about our favorite episodes and deleted scenes and stuff. And TJ said that asking what your favorite episode of The Office is like asking what the favorite part of your life was. Hah. It's great having people in real life who are as excited about things as you are. And TJ really likes The Colbert Report. I've told him about and am going to make him a dvd of all the Even Stephvens. Because those things are so dang awesome. And then we walked more. I'm going to start each new paragraph-like section with "and". It's fun. I talked to Mr. Wright and Mandy and Kristen V a bunch. And at our second break, we got M&Ms. And we kept throwing them in the air and catching them in our mouths. And then we threw them to TJ to catch. Some were at him instead. I felt like I was feeding a dog. It was fun. And this year, the walking seemed super short. Which is ok, I guess. I didn't feel sore at all, not even after sitting on the bus for a half hour and getting up again. But now my legs feel stiff and sore-ish. But it's fine. This was our class's last Walk-a-thon ever. How sad. I think I've been on fifteen of them. Fifteen or sixteen. I think fifteen. The junior high girls have a volleyball tournament tomorrow. I wonder how they'll feel then. Sore.

Michael? This is stupid.

TMBG are gonna be on Ferguson?? I didn't know! And two songs? Sooo awesome. Sweet. The Office! Holy gosh! So, so so great. Amazing. Spoiler. I feel so bad for Dwight. Way worse than I ever had for Jim or Pam. This was much much better than the premiere. I can't wait to discuss it tomorrow in Bible with Josh and TJ and people. 1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? A friend of my parents. 2 . WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? During highschool retreat. 3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? I love my writing in all caps. Usually. People say I write messily though. 4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? I never get to eat salami, but it is my favorite. That and pepperoni. 5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? Seven of them. 6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? I think so, because we would like the same things. We would have a ton to talk about. It'd be great to have me as a friend. I would get annoyed by my correctiveness sometimes maybe though. 7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? I never, ever do. Not once in my life. 8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yes. I got strep throat all the time when I was younger though. 9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? If other people/my friends were doing it then too, probably. But it's not something I'd go off and do on a whim. 11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? Never. I only untie them to adjust their tightness/looseness, if it gets screwed up, which is normally after someone else wears them. 12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? Yes. In an all around way. Arm strength as in push ups or pull ups, no. 13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP! No. Not really. I like plain vanilla. With peanut butter. 14.

WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? I have on jeans. No shoes. Just socks. 20. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE? Taco Bell. Specifically, their cinnamon twists. 21.

And volleyball. 27. HAIR COLOR? I don't know what it is. Used to be strawberry blonde, or something. Ask people, and they'd tell you red. 28. EYE COLOR? Blue. 29. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? No. The thought of putting things in your eye that could possibly get stuck in there does not sit well with me. 30. FAVORITE FOOD? I like the majority of it. Probably Mexican. Not Chinese. 31.
