It's Been a While

Hi! Wow, it's been quite a long time since I've been on this blog. Everything seems so different, well, nothing actually changed, but, you know that feeling you get when you haven't seen something in a long time, and you suddenly see it, and it seems so different? That, is how I feel right now. I feel like I just said way too much. Oh well, humans are nothing without words, and the more the merrier, right? I wish i could get "certain people" to believe that. Anyways, it is almost the end of summer, which means I don't have to lay around and feel lazy anymore! School just brings a whole new feeling of "Have to finish this, then start this, then make sure I check that," and well, just pretty much and organized kind of feeling. Oh ya! I almost forgot! I am going to a new school! The thought is quite horrific. But, the school is so cool! There are lockers and stairs and two floors, and and option of French or Spanish, and lunch is so much cooler than it should be! Cooler, as in better, more interesting. Oh, I am really excited. I already got my school supplies. All, except a standard/metric ruler with three ring holes for a binder, and subject dividers. Today I am going to get some school clothes and new shoes, because my sneakers are wayyyyyyyyy tooooooo tight. Anyways, I think I said enough for the both of us to think about. Okay, then that's enough for now, promise I'll write more again soon, see ya!

Spring Break Busy

ISn't spring break suppoesed to be relaxing? Well, it is, but I decided to catch up on some school work. It makes going back to school or work easier if you finish your work now and you won't have to stress over it. I am working on my research project on stem cells. I finished a brochure and am finishing up a tri fold board. Keep yourself busy. Hang out with friends, do something productive, enjoy your time off. :)

Getting Into Gamenight!

I believe this problem arises quite a bit in families, so I will address it. Spending time together. With parents working, kids being with their friends and going to school, I fond it tough to manage a bond. This idea will hopefully change that all. Game night! And I know you're probably thinking, "Gmaenight? I have no time for game night!" and in some cases that true. But I bet you can find at least an hour or a thirty minutes to get down and just play.

Once you've put aside a time for game night,"everyone has to play!:)" you need to find out what to do. Some popular ideas are board games, charades, video games, etc. But, I would keep in mind, to keep everyone interested, have a different person pick the activity each time. I'd also start off with something light like charades, just to get used to it. After deciding what to do, decide where to do it. A clean, room with lots of area and a good feel to it would be ideal, but it is up to you. Oh, and a little tip about when to do game night might be on a Sunday or Saturday night because not many people work on those days and kids are home from school. Anyways, after all of those steps, you are set for family game night. Add it to your schedule and await it each week.

Dried Up Paint

             Paint is one of my most favorite things in the world. There are endless possibilities when it comes to using it, and there are endless amounts of forms of it. It is beauty that is waiting to make its way onto display. Well, I recently have been fooling around with paint, (I've made quite a large mess) and fell in love with a certain form of paint. Dried up paint. Not like when you paint a picture and it dries, but when you pour a thick dot or bulge or random shape of paint onto a surface and wait for it to dry. Once it dries, it is strechy, and feel really cool. I do this mostly on tin foil, because if you use paper, the paint will make the paper soggy and it might break. Anyways, I highly recommend doing this beacause it is fun, and you can make a lot of stuff out i=of the dried up paint. All you need is tin foil and paint. just put a piece of tin foil flat in front of you, and pour a big glob or small glob onto it. Maybe make a design, but you need good old globby paint, otherwise it will make it seem like a regular picture. Van Gogh used this technique when he painted so that his paintings would have texture. Anyways, moving on. You should wait one to three nights for the [aint to dry depending on how much paint you use. You will know when it dries because it looks dry, but every few hours or so, you might want to try lightly touching the paint with a pencil to check. Once it is dry, you can keep it on the tin foil, or peel it off. But it is so much fun to play with!

Late April Fools

One word, prank. The thing everyone does on a historical day, April 1st. April Fools Day! This year, I pranked my dad, and my class and I pranked two teachers. Let me tell you about the teachers first. We did the same thing to both of them, but it was successful. We just walked into the center of their classrooms, and started singing our national anthem. The music teacher was so happy and proud of us, but our teacher got rid of our recess. April Fools! She didn't really, but she pretended to. Now about the prank on my dad.

   Ever see those sink with the extension cord? In the picture, it is that little black nozzle next to the sink's faucet. Well, when you push a button on that, and turn the sink on, it sprays so you can use it to wash dishes better. I put a rubber band around the button so it was pressed, and my dad was the first victim. He turned on the sink and it sprayed him and the kitchen. No one, got hurt, but some got wet. Well, those are just my pranks, there are a couple I want to tell you about, that my genius friends pulled off. Okay, one of my friends threw toilet paper all over her brother, her sister's, and her parents bedrooms. Next, one whole class, all the kids wore fake casts, they had the gauze and everything! I found out it was a prank the minute one kid just slipped of his cast and started to write with his hand. Lastly, this prank, my teacher pulled. Okay, this will be slightly confusing, so I'll call my teacher, teacher A and the victim teacher, teacher B. So teacher B went to go get a water bottle and asked teacher A to watch her class. Teacher A took the kids in the class and hid them in the library, and came back to our class. A few minutes later, teacher B came into our room, looking as flustered as ever, and started blabbering about her class. Where were they? What did you do to them? What am I going to do? Teacher A maintained a straight face, and fooled teacher B, teacher B was looking all over, and she eventually found them in the library. Teacher A made a smart, yet classic move, and blamed another teacher and ran away. :) That's our wonderful teacher!:) Pulling pranks is the best way for students and teachers to bond. Well, that is all, Happy late April Fools Day!

Valentines Day!

Well, its here. Valentine's Day. Sorry, this year i didn't do much, but I'll tell you what I did today. Actually, my grade doesn't have a Valentine's party, but it was fun after school, during dismissal. I did get candy and cheesy cards, but at dismissal..
*Some kids were pretending to give Valentines to each other, but it was actually wrappers with no candy in them. It was funnier when you saw the kids expressions. They thought there was candy in it, but it was garbage.
* A girl on crutches was going crazy. It was actually entertaining.
* Many more miscellaneous conversations and activities, but it all fit together and made a very funny Valentines Day.

I am currently having Fun Dip. :):):):) Prepare for sugar rush in 5,4,3,2,1,HEHEHEHHAHHAHHEHHEHHAHAHHA

New Lyrics?

Everyone saw the halftime show, and agreed that it was not good despite the two random guest stars ( Usher and Slash). But, there was one moment that i think was interesting. Will.i.am put his own little spin on the band's song 'Where's The Love" by giving a message to Pres. Obama. The following is what he sang (or spoke if I do say so myself):

"In America we need to get things straight / Obama, let's get these kids educated / Create jobs so the country stays stimulated."


I mean ofcourse it was a good message but a bit odd. In most songs you don't hear those words especially a message clearly for Pres. Obama. Well, that is all. The choreography was good but the music was not up to stats in Superbowl XLV.

What Happened Christina?

Well, as you obviously can see, the Super bowl is still on my mind. But now I'm thinking more about the music played there. The Black Eyed Peas added a little spin to one of their song, but more on that later. Right now I am focusing on a certain singer's mistake. Christina Aguilera made a blunder in the words of the Star Spangled Banner. Now I find it very disrespectful of a person to flub the national anthem, ecspecailly on a national stage like that. Now what exactly did she do? Well, at the line "What's so proudly we hailed at the.." Christina substituted "What's so proudly we watched at the..." One word made the whole thing sound different. On to the next mistake. She also skipped a line. Yes, a whole line. "O'er the ramparts we watched" was sadly not there. I personally feel she was more interested on waving her childish wave instead of remembering the words. Being "cute" is less important than memorizing your words. If she was not who she was and a child or un-discovered artist, i would understand breaking down under pressure, but having won an Emmy, she is very comfortable on stage. This was clearly an act of incompetence.

Acronyms!

Hey! So I've told you guys a lot about my the games me and my friends play on my school bus. Here is another one! We didn't give it a name but it sure is funny. Okay you need at least two people, the more people the more fun. Okay, here goes. One person says a word or name. Start out with short words and go on to longer. The next person thinks of the acronym. For example: Cat = Cuddly Ants Talk.  Then you keep going and going, until you burst into uncontrollable laughter! Here are some of my favorite acronyms:

Fish
Fuzzy Igloos Stay Here

Funny
Freaky Umbrella, Not Nice Yak

Kitten
Keish Is Talkative, Tasty, Eating Nonsense

Have Fun!

Indoor Smores

Who doesn't love a good old s'more? I had them last night, and now I'm in a s'more, and the result of that, is a post on how to make s'mores! What You Need: Marshmallow Chocolate Graham Crackers Microwave 1. Put the marshmallow on the Graham cracker and put that on a microwaveable plate. 2. Put it in the micro wave, and set it for 1 minute. But, you have to watch the marshmallow, because it should only cook for 35-45 seconds. 3. Watch the marshmallow, and when it gets pretty fluffy and mildly large, take it out of the micro wave. 4. Take the chocolate and squish the marshmallow! Trust it gets gooey, but tastes great. 5. Put another Graham cracker on top of that and... Chew it! This is a perfect wintertime desert, because it is warm, chewy, and no one can go wrong with candy! Even if you want, you can use a toothpick and chocolate syrup to draw on the crackers! Enjoy your s'more!

Don't Judge a Bannana By Its Peel!

I mean this literally. Don't judge a banana by its peel. You've heard of don't judge a book by its cover, and the same goes for a banana. It's peel might be brown or black, but the banana could be tasty and sweet! Trust me, it happens a lot when I eat a banana.

Blizzard or Bust?

So, today I have no school because of the snow once again. But honestly, I don't believe it was as much as everyone thought. The new said to be around a foot, but it looks like 4 inches. But fresh snow is Fresh snow right? And it does give me a chance to sled on new and fluffy snow, and maybe a few other fun winter activities...

Quicksand or Just Goo?

Okay, so I had a sleepover with my friend a few days ago. We wanted to do a science experiment, which led us to going on the Internet and look for experiments. Now, I am going to fast forward to the part I want to focus on. We found the recipe to quicksand. It in volved water, flour, and other things my brain didn't remember. :) we had to mix the water and flour in a cup. So half cup of flour and a full cup of water went into the cup. We mixed and mixed until it was mixed but didn't seem like quicksand. More water? We tried. Fail. Epic fail. Even more water? Forget it, the quicksand was either cookie batter, vomit, or plain out goop. But hey, it was fun stirring! Perhaps we did something wrong with the recipe.....

Waterbowling!

Everyone loves bowling, right? Well, sometimes you don't have the time to go to the Bowling alley. So,I've made an easy way to play bowling in your own home! What You Need: Ten Empty water bottles Water A Ball 1. Fill each water bottle about a quarter or less with water. 2. Align them in a pyramid. 3. Stand about a yard or more from the pins. 4. Take the ball and roll it towards the bottles as if you were bowling! I did this a couple times today, and I had a lot of fun. I hope you do too!

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!'

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!20112011201120112011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last Year's Winter!

I've been telling you a lot about this years winter but now that I think about it, I want to tell you about the stuff I made last year. I did a lot so I'm just going to list the two major things I made last year. I actually didn't do this until the snow died down a bit but they still turned out awesome!!!! Okay, the first one was a snowman. Not the classical three balls and a face snowman, but a snowman that I sort of sculpted. I bunched up the snow and molded it into a body, and then a head. The second and last major things was a fort. I took a bucket filled half of it with snow, patted it down, and turned it upside down like a sandcastle, making a cylinder. I kept doing this and stacked the "bricks" on top of each other into a wall like structure. I have some pics here, so you might be able to do this yourself! :)

Sledding With Friends

Yesterday I was sledding with 2 neighbors and the snow hated 2 out of 3 of us. See, we were at one of our houses and there was an awesome hill. Well, it was high,erect for sledding, and at first it was great. But as we went down more and more, they curve broke. It didn't literally break, it made us wipeout every time we passed it. We ended up making a new track, so it looked like a Y. You could either go one way or the other. Oh! I have got to tell you this one last thing where we had to climb up and and sit on the edge of the hill on our sleighs,then push ourselves off, but I went backwards two times. I didn't go up far enough so me and the sled and I just slid back. I actually enjoyed it. Before I sign off, I want to tell you that 3 hilarious times when the sled went one way and I fell the other. I slipped and the sled and I just went purr separate ways. I will leave now, and let you do what you will with these thoughts. :):):):)

Snowballs And Snowmen

Well, yesterday the snow plow came. My driveway and the street is clean, but it made some awesome snow piles. What does that lead to? Sledding, nah we already did that. Snowball fight!!!!!!!! Me my friend and 4 other neighbors split up teams and had a huge snowball fight. They snuck up on us with huge boulders of snow and through them at us! Well, actually they didn't sneak up on us. We saw them and it was easy to tell they were coming so it didn't do any harm. See, they were fast kids with good arms so it was pretty much just grab snow, throw it, and duck! I got them a couple of times and I got nailed in the eye and cheek twice! It was surprisingly fun! Anyways, forget about snowball fights, 2 of those kids and I went to my friends house and made a snowman!!! My first classic three snowballs and a face snowman. Actually, we couldn't find rocks or sticks so we use Mr.Potato Head parts. A mouth, eyes, two plastic arms. But the nose was a baby carrot! After we took a picture, I proclaimed my feet were cold and went inside. After I left they made another snowman, that was a boy. It was cool. I had a fun day today and I hope I have more like this.
