In the Spirit of the New Year

I realized that I should probably blog today, it being New Year's Eve and all that. Not that I have anything to say about that, but it somehow seems wrong not to have a final entry of the year. Yes? Yes.

Today, after four and a half years of frustration, I finally beat Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess! Oh man, I'm so awesome. Kim was there to cheer me on. She's still on the Lakebed Temple (ha) and I just kicked Ganondorf's ass. Haaaa.

The sleepover was very fun! I don't know if I mentioned that Kim and I were having a sleepover, but we were. Kim tried pizza pockets for the first time (they're so amazing) and I, as usual, drowned myself in soda. We fiddled online a bit, I said silly things to Weslie (like 'KIM THINKS YOU'RE COOL', after which Kim wouldn't speak to me), and I beat Kim in Battleship! Oh, and I applied fabulous makeup to Kim, and she tried to makeover me and I looked bruised. Oh, Kim.

It was nice out today--not that I went outside too much. The day was spent playing Zelda and watching the Planet Earth marathon. I still wish I had some cool New Year's Eve party to go to, but alas, 'tis too late now. Perhaps next year I'll be cool!

My sadistic English teacher gave us homework, so tomorrow should be spent studying vocabulary and A Tale of Two Cities. That is, if I get off my ass and actually look at my backpack for the first time this break. Next week I have to look forward to finishing the biology project and three tests in English. Yayyy.

In the spirit of the New Year, here's a list of the things I have to look forward to in 2012:

• The second semester of school, which means: creative writing!
• Finishing sophomore year (generally agreed upon to be the hardest year).
• Turning sixteen and throwing a wild party and celebrating quietly with friends!
• As an offshoot of that, learning how to drive and (hopefully!) getting a job.
• Starting junior year, I guess.

So, there are some things! Happy New Year, guys! I hope you all have a stunning night :D

Ramblin'

Hello! I'm determined to get into the habit of blogging again! Besides, it was either this or mindlessly play Sims for another hour. You know, I don't know how to take a screenshot. Me no understandy computer-magic.

The other day, I had the shortest-lived conversation with Weslie (previously Up, if I never made that distinction) ever, and then an hour later my friend, who doesn't even know him, had an hour-long conversation with him. I'm kind of bumming about it, actually. I mean, like, yeah, I get the hint, thanks. I lack the social magic which others possess, I suppose.

This is a picture of my cat. In case you thought it was a picture of someone else's cat. My other cat is in the living room, so I don't want to bother her!

I wish I was going to a New Year's Eve party! I would throw one myself, but I don't have enough friends, and also my house is awful. I could wear a sparkly dress and everything :( Although, Kim is coming over for a sleepover tomorrow, which is almost New Year's Eve. Perhaps at midnight we'll run screaming through the streets, "HAPPY NEW YEAR!", and see if anyone calls the cops.

I should probably read A Tale of Two Cities sometime, or do vocab, since my English teacher actually gave us homework over break. I think I'll just play Sims till my dad kicks me off the computer. Hm!

Good night!

THE HAUL

I, being of the materialistic sort, instead of pontificating on the joys of the holiday and the warmth of family, will give you a photo list of what I got!

My dad got me this loverly book, titled Booknotes: Stories from American History. It goes up to 2002, and is basically a bunch of short stories pertaining to American History. I'm quite excited to start reading it, once I stop being lazy!

Oh, see that hand right there? That's my hand. Oh yeah.

A flibbiload of makeup! Isn't it all so pretty and organized? I'm wearing some right now, and, while I think it looks pretty darn spiffy, I believe the rule against my putting pictures of myself on the internet still applies. Regardless I don't feel like asking. Look at the pretty makeup!

Also, my arm is pretty sexy. Ohhhh yeah.

MY FAVORITE PURSE EVER, EVER. Guys, guys, LOOK at this purse. This purse is fantastic. This purse goes with my outfits. This purse is great. I have realized that I'm in love with it.

Oh man, the top of my head? I understand if some of you are getting uncomfortable!

And, what did I take all of these pictures with? I GOT A WEBCAM. It's so pretty and shiny <3 I would take a picture of it, but, you know...

Anyway, I had a rather lovely holiday, with much Doctor Who watched and much chocolate consumed. I hope everyone else did, too!

The Holidays!

Today was a half-day, being the last day before winter break (!), and I can honestly say we did not do a single academic thing in any class. In my chemistry class, there were only four of us (and Lauren!) and Chem Teacher brought in his daughter, who's about three/four years old, and a generally good time was had by all.

My dad and I are setting up the Christmas tree--pssht, no, it's not two days before Christmas. Oh, and it's two days before Christmas! It's Christmas Eve Eve! I exchanged presents with people! Tegan got me a lovely scarf, Chelsea got me little cat figurines, Jennifer gave me a cupcake, and Shari gave me a delightful blanket :D Oh, and on Wednesday, Joy made me a journal (!), and Maia got me a book--The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published. I also got gifts for all of them, of course!

I love getting gifts for people. Later tonight I'll be going to the mall to get gifts for my parents, who I've yet to buy anything for.

Guys, guys, guys. February is in less than two months! I've been looking for a dress for the next Model UN conference, and I think this one would work well, with a business jacket and other accouterments. What do you think? I also kind of like this one, though it's more expensive. Unfortunately, not many stores cater to business-atire-seeking teenagers, so I haven't been able to find anything really perfect.

I've become midlly obsessed with Scrabble. I hate it, really, but then I started playing with Kim on Facebook and now I can't stop.

Now that I'm blogging, I realize how much I forget about things that happen throughout the week. I keep meaning to, but either I don't have time or I don't feel like it. I think, when this is done, I'll comment! Hurray!

Oh, well, I think this is done, actually. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

What what what

Guys, guys, guys, I suck at this. What happened to blogging every couple of days and commenting regularly? Oh, the guilt! It eats away at me! You know, I blogged twice in all of November! How depressing!

Oh, and I centered my text. What what.

My grades right now are so nice, but it's still the beginning of the second marking period, and all of the things which I definitely failed haven't been graded yet. I have three B's and four A's. Yay for me.

I never posted about Quills and Keys! Oh me, oh my--it was so fun! The first meeting, the total number of people was sixteen, and some of them WEREN'T people that I begged to come! The second meeting, there were less, but that's okay! We're all busy with homework, especially ever Thanksgiving break. It's so exciting to be in charge of a club. Maia and I could definitely turn this into something great. Now I look forward to Wednesdays!

I do not look forward to Mondays. Fridays are great because I continually remember, throughout the day, that I don't have to get up early the next day. That's just the best feeling.

I feel like I should include pictures in my posts, but I don't have any pictures handy. Hm! I suppose a giant wall of text will have to do! EAT WORDS, BITCHEZ.

No, no, I kid. You're not bitchez. You're all very nice!

The assignment this week for Quills and Keys is to write a poem. Why I suggested this, I don't know. I never let anyone read my poetry, because I'm not very good. I mean, I'm okay with that, as long as no one else reads them! And one time Maia did when I wasn't looking and laughed at me, and I was pissed. Maybe I'll write something fantastic! Yes.

Yesterday I took a test that f*cked everyone was a bitch was very difficult! The vocab test I took earlier was easy, though. So was the biology test I took today. I don't know. Maybe I'll study for Latin and math this weekend. Hahaha.

I should blog more! I should stop being lazy, yes!

It's the Christmas season. I get to buy gifts for people! Yes!
