…is AMAZING. Who knew? When my friend, Christine, who is indulged in fantasy novels and what not, told me that the Twilight series were good I kind of just let it slip my ear and forgot about it after a few days. But then my friend, Dakota (who was with me on my golfing trip over the summer if you recall that) who doesn’t read compulsively like Christine and I do, told me about Twilight as well and how absolutely addicting it was, which got me interested. It feels so real and it makes you want to keep reading even if you’re so pooped you’re ready to give out on holding onto the book any longer.

Like I predicted, my mom made me run for Secretary since I was nominated. So the night before the speeches were to be presented I spend a couple of minutes writing a short speech, because nobody really listens to the long ones anyway. But when I go on my class website it has my name under treasurer, which I would have been slightly happier about…. IF I HADN’T ALREADY WRITTEN MY SPEECH FOR SECRETARY!!!! I was almost positive that my name was under Secretary the last time I checked, and my friend also told me that’s what she saw, but according to the teachers, there were many mistakes and they had corrected them the last couple of days. HOLY SHIT ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

I was pissed, but since my speech wasn’t that long anyway it wasn’t too hard writing a new one. I don’t think I’ll win though since I never took the time to print out tacky posters like everyone else did (tree killers =P that was my excuse lol) and the other girl who was running against me has a sister in the 6th grade who’s voting for her along with all her little friends and the other people running for treasurer don’t know too many people so I’m pretty sure they won’t get as many votes, but that’s just my assumption. And since when does the 6th grade get to vote? We had to wait until Grade 7 to vote… stupid rules.

My friends are coming over for a sleepover in less than 3 hours and the house is a mess =S Maybe I’ll get around to cleaning up if I’m up to it.

New layout! The text seems to almost ruin the image but I need to put the site name somewhere, right? When I was working on the theme, I actually hated the colours but then I changed the background colour and it made a HUGE difference. WHAM!!!! I really want to go for something extravagant next time though ~ maybe turn the whole thing sideways or something. I don’t know, it’ll probably turn out like poop considering that’s how all my new creations turn out to be but I gotta keep going right? Like Winston Churchill always says, “Never give up!” I’m pretty sure it was him anyway. Probably didn’t spell his name right either

School elections! I’m actually not ecstatic about them at all. It really is actually completely and utterly pointless at our school. But some boob nominated me for secretary. What? If you’re going to nominate me, you might as well nominate me for treasurer, since they get to handle all the money… HAH! But I suppose they thought I was a good typer/writer person? I really don’t know. What’s funny is that kids are going around BEGGING people to nominate them so that they can right a two page speech about why they should be chosen for PM, DPM etc. and then present it to the 7th and 8th graders on Wednesday while the rest of us are: a) snoozing off b) making fun of some kid’s speech c) watching our teachers constantly looking at the clock on the wall, praying for the lunch bell to ring soon. It’s pretty pathetic. And it’s not like you get to take over the school and run it when you win. You simply get to go to meetings (during recesses may I add; what kind of normal human being would want to do that?) suggest ideas that are merely impossible as the principal ignores most of our opinions anyway.

Yet people still run… for school council of course I mean (: Somehow I just know that my mom is going to make me run for Secretary since I got nominated though. Why? Because she wants me to get involved. Hmm… like last week when she forced me into the school choir. I swear I’ve probably never felt so dumb in my life. I was probably the only person tall enough to go on bumper cars there. I’m probably exaggerating just a little but there was no one over the age of 9! I quit of course. Not because I don’t like singing. I love singing, but it’s really sad when a choir never moves on to another song. They’ve been singing “Shine Jesus Shine” since I was in Grade 3. Obsessed much?

Remember being in Kindergarten and using those multi-coloured wax sticks to colour pictures of multiple animals that probably don’t even exist while some weird kid that always had a runny nose sat in the corner of the room, away from the group picking at the wax sticks and attempting to eat it? You might also recall that these wax sticks had a name. Crayons you say? (They always smelled weird to me) Well, did you ever think that eight years after Kindergarten, almost on your way to High School that you would be using CRAYONS again? Just 4 days into Grade 8 and I have learned that you are never too old to colour with crayons! Even though I still consider myself a kid. Our teachers are somewhat convinced that we are in our teenage years and is entering adult hood - wtf?

Anyways, those crayons are seriously pissing me off. We have to do something for art where we draw on the backs of sandpaper and then trace it backwards on the rough part. We then use crayons and colour our backwards picture and once we’re finished we iron it onto an incredibly small t-shirt which is somehow supposed to fit us even though if we wore it to school it would be against our dress code. And since the picture was backwards, when it was ironed on, it would be right ways and the crayon would melt onto the t-shirt. But almost the whole class is done and I had to start over because my pictures were too small and detailed and the crayons made it all messed up and smushed together. Those darn crayons are a pain in the ass because they break every time I hold them a bit tighter and I can’t find a sharpener that has a big enough hole to fit the damn crayon in so I can sharpen it! So my sandpaper/soon to be t-shirt art is half coloured lying in a pile of broken crayons and wax shavings from the sharpeners in which I attempted to shove the crayons in but ended up breaking the whole crayon.

Moral of today’s story: Me+Crayons= A Pissed off me
I still have to finish it though. Dammit. And those Crayola Crayons aren’t as wonderful as they say in the commercial where the crayons appear to be dancing around on the page, drawing out images themselves. What a rip - and the name Crayola for a brand of Crayons and school junk is stupid. STUPID!

Now something nice I’d like to share with you I was able to go on the Behemoth twice during my trip to Wonderland and I would tell you it wasn’t worth the wait if the line was extremely long and we were waiting for over two ours to get on, but the first time we went on it was only about a 40 minute wait and it was pretty cool, so if you ever go there you should definitely try it. IT’S NOT AS THRILLING OR SCARY OR BEASTLY AS IT LOOKS! TRUST ME!
