birthdays

2011-02-02T23:07:00.003-05:00

Without being completely pathetic about this I just wanted to kind of express my birthday dilemma. I love birthdays, I feel like they should be awesome and fun and stuff. But when it comes to my own birthday, the past several years haven't quite worked out the way I had originally hoped or imagined. I've had big plans each year, and I don't want to say I was let down, because in the end my family

New Experiences

2011-02-01T12:22:00.002-05:00

Sunday, for my dad's birthday, we went to this Lebanese eatery. It was a cute little restaurant and they're known for their good, healthy food and vegetarian options. My dad ordered a sampler type thing for an appetizer and we tried everything. I was so excited, haha. We tried hummos, tabouli, falaffel, baba, and dawali.Hummos: Puree of chickpeas, tahini, and lemon topped with fresh herbs and

I know last year I was all "yeah new decade! im going to blog the whole thing!"And I know it never happened, haha.But I really, honestly, do what to get into the habit again. I feel like I'm jotting my life down like the internet is a pad of post it notes and I want them all to be in one easily accessible place. On facebook or in chats they may get lost forever. So I'm going to attempt to blog at

Spring Break has actually been a really nice break from school xD I LOVE school but it was nice to step back and just not have it for a week. I still had track every day so I still had that school influence xD But it was good. Monday I had a friend come over for a while and we had a good time. She had been kind of upset about stuff so I tried to cheer her up :] we had fun. We baked cupcakes and

I was a part of the high school musical my school did this year. They chose Godspell. At first I was a little skeptical, but as practices continued, they became the best parts of my day. Singing, dancing and running around on stage with a bunch of great people is the best, haha.We had a little difficulty in the beginning but after a couple of bumps, it was pretty much smooth sailing. We all loved

gymnastics update

2010-03-07T18:19:00.004-05:00

I joined the gymnastics team in late October. I hadn't done it since I was really little but I wanted to get into it again and be active over the winter. I made a lot of progress, and I had a lot of fun. Even though I wasn't that great, I was still treated equally as a member of the team. The coaches were nice and helpful, and made it fun. Not all the girls were the kind of people I would hang

2010-01-17T21:20:00.002-05:00

This past week has been freakin' insane! All week, I've gone straight from school to gymnastics for two hours, then back to school for play practice for two hours and finally back home. Except Thursday when i stayed at school an extra hour for a financial aid presentation and theennn had to go to Pat Catans to get some stuff. I was dead tired by the weeks' end, haha.Gymnastics has been pretty

My music teacher is a pretty cool dude. I actually get along a lot better with my teachers than the majority of the students, haha. Not that I dont get along with kids but I talk to my teachers easier and actually more often maybe, except for a handful of kids who are like my real friends that I could see myself keeping in touch with after I graduate.Anyways, back to my music teacher. He's

Alas, no snow day! haha. But other than the freshman who stalks me, the day was pretty good.In Science class we found an article that interested us in a magazine and summarize it. My teacher subscribed to this magazine called Nature and they have a ton of science articles in there. I picked an article about brain surgery and how scientists use brain surgery to conduct research on how the brain

Lo and behold you can listen to their entire music collection on there. Check it out. :]Today is the last day of break! I'm a little reluctant to start school again but mostly because of that 5:30 alarm I know is waiting for me tomorrow. I love school, but this break

a new decade

2010-01-02T13:06:00.002-05:00

I was thinking yesterday about how this is the beginning of a new decade, and I was thinking of all the big things that are happening in this year alone, and so I was thinking how i should be documenting this. haha. And woah! I remembered I had a blog, :PSo I guess my resolution is to blog more, because this year is going to be a crazy one, haha.You know what else I want to do?I want to cook more

Guess what I didn't do yesterday?I didn't exercise or even do a body test.One empty day on the calendar for me.Why do people even make resolutions anyways? In most cases they're just setting themselves up for disapointment. Of course people WANT to be better in the new year but telling themselves that they have to OR ELSE (or else what?) just doesn't seem to work. On the radio last week they were

the first couple days, if not the first week, of school are always like walking around in the dark. we have no idea whats going on, i dont even have supplies yet, but school has started. It's kind of awkward at first because there's nothing to do if you dont have your books and stuff, but within the next two weeks it picks up and in the first month you start to adjust to it all and you're off to

Semi Parking Made Easy

2008-08-23T11:46:00.002-04:00

A couple months ago I got a baby tooth pulled and when the adult tooth grew in the orthodontist said it would be like parallel parking a semi truck. Well, it has finally gotten into its correct position. It is no longer behind another tooth or too far back so that my bottom teeth prevent it from moving forward. That was pretty easy, so parellel parking a semi must not be that hard xD it only took

One of my favorite bands, The Academy Is, is releasing their third album this Tuesday. However, I was on myspace one day and I saw a bulletin that said "It has leaked!" So, confused, I went to read it. Basically they said the album was going to get leaked anyways so they might as well do it themselves. So they posted all the songs from their new album on their myspace.They're awesome, like always

School starts next week. That means its back to school picnic time. Last year it was a dud and I was especially crabby because I had pretty good chances (or so i thought) of getting My Chemical Romance/Linkin Park tickets and instead of entering the drawing I had to go to the stupid school picnic. but i didnt know anybody and nobody talked to me so I was miserable. Like the whole time.This year

Okay so I'm going through a Josh Groban phase. How can you resist him though? His voice is amazing, he sings in like five different languages and his music is perfect for listening to and relaxing to in the evening when you just want to unwind and get ready to go to sleep. If you couldn't tell, I got some Josh Groban cds from the library x3 I also got Franz Ferdinand, Ryan Cabrera, Pink Floyd,

We left early Tuesday morning and got to Scranton University by two in the evening. The conference was four days long and every day they had two plenary sessions that were mandatory (but they only had one session on the first and last days). Then we had one breakaway session and

The evening of Friday the sixth, my dad came home about an hour early and we piled in the van and left for North Carolina. After I got some corks. I'll explain later.We drove for a few hours, until we got into Pennsylvania. For a while we were taking the same route my school took when we went to D.C. which was kind of cool...

Well I have several things to blog about. Lets start with OGT results! Yay! I took the OGTs at the beginning of March. I was uncharacteristically calm about them :P And they were rather easy in my opinion. I got my results back today finally. My mom walks into my room and goes "This paper says you're smart." Pshaw. A surprise, I know. The real surprise is that I passed science in the advanced

Can I Lay In Your Bed All Day

We have a bunk bed now. Its nice and dark and... woody or something. And yesterday I was wearing clothes that didn't match. Sue me.I get to sleep on the bottom. Because I chose to. Despite what my siblings say. They like to insist I'm afraid of heights, which I'm not, really. I just prefer the idea of having my own little cave thing than to climbing up a ladder, banging my head on the cieling and

You Look So Good In Blue

Sunday my mom said that since we were officially getting a bunk bed (tonight sometime) it might be a good idea to paint. My room has been this pale pink color for forever. Probably more than five years. More like eight maybe? I dont remember but I was more than glad to get rid of the dull pink color. The wallpaper (before i tore it down) had horses in a field with pink border.We went to the store

Yesterday I volunteered at the nature center for Home and Garden Day. I helped little kids make scare crows. It was a nice idea, but we didnt have the right stuff for scare crows. I mean, we had straw and clothes but the poles for the frames were too thick and all we had to hold everything together was staples and rope. So yeah, it was interesting. I got straw in my eye and it was bothering me

Well I had quite the scare today.For one, the power went out for a total for two and a half seconds. It was funny, we all kind of froze and waited for it to come back on. After I turned my computer back on though, it loaded it like I was a brand new Windows XP user. And I realized after I took the time to think about it that this meant all my stuff was gone. ALL of my school work, ALL of my
