Christmas

Merry Christmas!


I want to take a moment and talk about the presents I got this year:


1. Socks. Yea, socks. I'm actually okay with this. I needed new socks anyway...


2. Laptop Sleeve. I'm okay with this too. It's what I wanted. I already knew my mom was getting it for me, because I was standing there when she ordered it...


3. Slippers. Okay, so I wanted new slippers because my other pair was completely destroyed.


4. Lotions. Who doesn't like to get lotion? And it smells good. I'm very happy with this.


5. $25 gift card to Alco. Okay, now this is probably the worst gift ever. HOW DO YOU SPEND $25 IN ALCO? If you have never heard of Alco, don't look it up. It's the worst store in the history of stores... Even despite it being the worst store ever, I managed to spend $12 of my gift card. I bought a new mouse for my laptop and some nail polish.


6. Candy. Who doesn't love candy. Seriously? Best. Gift. Ever.


All in all, I want to be disappointed in the gifts I got this year, but I can't. Last year was a great year for Christmas. I got a laptop last year! My parents have been on a tight budget this year, so I knew that I wasn't going to get much. So, yea. I'm thankful and happy with what I got. At least I got something at all.


So, that's that. This afternoon my dad is going to cook up a nice Christmas dinner for just us. The food is going to be great, and I can't wait. I hope you all have a great Christmas!

Christmas Eve Eve.

Tonight is the Night Before Christmas Eve, and I feel like I still have a few important things to talk about before Christmas:

Number one: We had our first Snow Day on Tuesday. It was great, but because we missed school, we had to go all day Wednesday to finish finals. I actually enjoyed it, because I only had one final left for Wednesday. Everything else was just a party. The start to my Christmas break was amazing.

Number two: Because I have a bunch of free time, I've been spending it writing. I really want to get some stuff finished so I can move on and work on all the new ideas that I have. It's nice not having to worry about school work. I can spend all my time and energy on writing.


Number three: I finished Girl with the Dragon Tattoo the other day. It was actually a really good book. I never saw the ending coming (Okay, maybe I did, but that's beside the point). Now, I'm moving on to Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. I've only read about eight chapters so far, but I really like where it's headed. I let you know how I feel about it when it's finished.

Number four: Okay, there is no number four... So, I guess that's where we end things. Adios!

Useless Information

My Christmas present arrived last week. It was shipped December 7, and arrived at my Grandma's house on December 10. When I found out that it was in already I almost had a heart attack. It's awesome. I always love getting new All Time Low things. I know have two shirts, a nightgown, a wallet, and the tour book from them. As well as all their CDs. I swear, I'm not obsessed... Oh, and speaking of All Time Low, Alex Gaskarth's birthday was Wednesday! He turned 24. It was a great day.

In other news: Finals started yesterday. I already took my Government and Psychology finals. All I have left is English, Advanced Biology (which are both on Monday), and Spanish (on Wednesday). I have some other classes, but I don't have a real final in them. In my Yearbook class, we're going to our teaches house and having breakfast (That's my last final. It's always nice to end the semester with breakfast). I can't wait for this semester to be over. I need a break.

Another thing: I think I may have become obsessed with tumblr. I stayed up until almost two in the morning last night, because I was on tumblr. It's probably my new favorite website ever. Even better than facebook, or twitter. If you haven't already, check it out. You don't know what you are missing.

Last but not least, I want to talk about reading for a second. Currently I'm reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I'm about halfway through it, and I have to say that it's really good. I want to get it finished and then see the movie. I have the rest of the books in the series, too. And I plan on reading all of them. When I get them read, I'll let you know what I thought. So, I'm off to read.

...and we meet again.

I've kind of been putting this off for a while, but I finally decided I needed to sit down and write this. So, that's what I'm doing.

First of all, I'm happy to announce that I got my senior necklace in the mail today. It's sparkly and awesome. I never want to take it off. What I don't understand is why it came in a huge package. Seriously. This package is huge, and a tiny little necklace was all that was inside. They couldn't send it in something a little smaller? The package didn't even fit in the mailbox... I don't understand people sometimes.


Another happy announcement: My Grandma ordered my Christmas present Thursday when I got home from school. The order won't ship until Wednesday because the items are on pre-order. I plan on getting my stuff by the end of next week. It usually doesn't take very long for stuff to get here. I'm getting an All Time Low shirt and nightgown. They're awesome. I can't wait to get them, so I can wear them all the time. I love my Grandma. She always buys me what I want.

One last thing: My parents went away this weekend. They went to the Blizzard Bash in Topeka. They left Friday morning and weren't back until late last night. It was just me and my brother by ourselves all weekend. It was great. I managed to get a lot of writing done. I feel so acomplished. Anyway, when they got back they brought us stuff. A mohawk head band that lights up, and then a ball that lights up when you squeeze it. I couldn't stop playing with the stuff. I seem to be fascinated by things that light up...


Well, that's about all I wanted to talk about. I'm sure next time we meet, I'll have more not-so-important announcements for you. So, stay tuned.
