Changes

OK. 

I have finally been able to post about some things. Some good news, and maybe some bad.

I am getting a blog design from Chicken Scratch Designs, a.k.a , Farm Girl Writes.

It's still getting designed, but it is sounding fabulous. I can't wait for it!

In other news, I am getting overloaded with homework at school. ^_^

I also am working on my novel. :D exciting!!!

Parties At a Bowling Alley

*Random Title*

Well, this blog title does have something with what I did this weekend. 

I did go to a bowling alley, for a party. My cousin, Dylan's, birthday party. We had lots of fun. We played 3 games. And me, Paige (My cousin's friend.), and Danielle (My cousin.) mixed Pepsi & Sprite together. 

After the few games and cups of mixes, we went to my cousin's house to continue the partya. Once in the car, the girls & I got crazy. :D

Edit: The videos aren't working so I will put the links to the videos on my Youtube!

All the kids bounded down the stairs and started to have some fun. Maybe, too much fun. 

Some of the girls started to draw faces so, I took my shot at it. 

My drawing numero uno. :D I like freckles. xD

Another angle. 

My other drawing. Smiley & freckles. :D

Once some of the little kids and their families left, the big kids got crazy. We started playing class room and acting like we were- er, let's just say we got crazy....

One of the boys grabbed a balloon and poked a hole and sucked up the helium. Roll the clip...

The next day we headed to Kmart. I bought my first model. Meet Astrid Rider. 

 We then got home. We went for a walk around the block.

It may be blurry but it's cool. :D

My cousin Danielle. :D

End Of Exams (FINALLY!!)

Yet another post for today. Not really an unusal thing for me.

The reason for all of my double, maybe triple post per day is because of the week I'm having. Currently this week I had 2 whole day of school, then 3 half days. Of course because of exams. (I had 3. French, U.S. History, and English.) My French exam was 120 questions. I was SO scared when she said 100. Then added that there were 20 listening questions. EEK!

I was SO nervous for the French exam, but it was actually really easy. If you pay attention in class.

Today was a nerve bursting day for me as well. I had to do my Quakeville project. Let me tell ya what goes on.

Our group had to build a building that could survive a earthquake. We had to chose were to build, what matierals to use, blah blah blah. Then today, we had to test our building on a super magical "earthquake" A.K.A. a special machine that shaked really really fast.

What was funny was that some people, actually BUILT on the fault line. So that means they had to go on the big table. Which equals really fast shakeys. :p

Thank LORD that we built on bedrock. Our building survived! I was SO relived. (I almost cried when it was our building turn. Stupid girl hormones. Oh, and one girl actually cried. I felt for her.)

In other news, I have a fasination with those little diswasher packet thingys. You no what I'm talking about, right? I love squishing them and seeing wich one as the most dishwasher stuff in it. Just call me crazy.

The reason for the sudden outburst for my love of dishwasher packets is becuase I just did the dishes. Gah.

Also, I found some AWESOME needle felt animals on Etsy, so go check em' out. :D

Boringness

The days of winter slowly fade away as the snow melts and the temperature rises. The warmth feels good, but I will miss the beautiful snow.

Currently the " beautiful snow" is slush on the roads. It's getting ALL over my knit Uggs. Gah. 


I'm going to say sorry in advance. I don't  have my camera, so it's a boring, picture-less posts. Ack. 


In this post, I am going to give you all the goals for me in 2011.


1.) Buy some stuff off Etsy.
2.) Read 18 books. Maybe more.
3.) Do a photoshoot of me and my friends. I have yet to do that.
4.) Do a 2 week photo challenge.


And now... a sneak peek at my mustache post. :{D

Reality Check By Jen Calonita

Title: Reality Check

Author: Jen Calonita

Pages: 288

Published: June 14, 2010

Publisher: Poppy

Plot:

Sixteen-year-olds Charlie, Keiran, Brooke, and Hallie have just been signed up for their own reality television show. They can't even believe it. "You'll be The Hills meets The Secret Life of the American Teenager," the Armani-suited executive tells them, "and the hottest thing on our network." How could they say no?

But soon enough, cameras following them everywhere and interfering producers surreptitiously scripting their lives start to affect the four best friends' relationship. Brooke seems to want all the screen time. Keiran is abruptly written out of the show-and consequently the group's friendship-when she doesn't rate well. As soon as Charlie realizes what's going on, she figures out the perfect way to give the studio and her home audience a much-needed reality check.

Because friends don't let friends do reality shows.

________________________________________________________________

I thought this book was AMAZING!!! It kept me wanting more and more, and even more.

I would give this book a total 5 stars.

                                                          Other Content

Romance: Charlie likes a boy, but it's mild. :D

Question Of The Day: If you were given the chance to have your own T.V. show with your best friends, would you take it, or decline?

Secrects Of My Hollywood Life By Jen Calonita

Title: Secrets Of My Hollywood Life

Author: Jen Calonita

Pages: 256

Published: May 1, 2007

Publisher: Little Brown Young Readers

Plot:

Every girl in America wants to be Kaitlin Burke -- except Kaitlin Burke. She longs for a life far away from the glitterati and the paparazzi and those nosy tabloid newsmen. Giving up full-time glamor, she goes undercover at an ordinary American high school. The lessons that she learns in the world beyond the red carpet bring her wisdom worth more than any Emmy.

______________________________________________ 

I thought this book was OK. It caught me in the beginning, but not in the end. I read this book from my iPod touch. I actually bought the next book, but not read it yet. I hope it brings more to her.

I love the fact that Jen made Kaitlin a regular teen. And I LOVED the fact that she had Kaitlin have Star Wars sheets. That made me laugh.

I give this book 4 stars.

                                                            Other Content

Romance: Of course, Kaitlin falls in love with one of the boys, but it's mild.

The Allegra Biscotti Collection By Olivia Bennett

The Allegra Biscotti Collection by Olivia Bennett is a book about a girl named Emma who creates a fake identity so she can sell her first fashion item.

Plot from Sourcebooks.com:

Emma Rose is SO not a diva.

She doesn’t want her turn on the catwalk—she’d rather be behind the scenes creating fabulous outfits! So when a famous fashionista discovers Emma’s designs and offers her the opportunity of a lifetime—a feature in Madison magazine (squeal!)—Emma sort of, well, panics. She has only one option: to create a secret identity.

And so Allegra Biscotti is born.

Allegra is worldly, sophisticated, and bold—everything Emma is not. But the pressure is on. And Emma quickly discovers juggling school, a new crush, friends, and a secret identity might not be as glamorous as she thought.

I thought the book was fantastic! It was a pretty quick read, I read it in one day. The second book looks good, I can't wait to read it. What I really liked was that is was set in middle school!

                                                                Other Content

Romance: Emma has a crush on one of the poular guys, but it's mild.

Other Stuff: There are mean girls. As always. But Allegra can get through, right?

I would give this book 5 stars.
