Foggy cold

The beach was fun yesterday but the water was so cold it would've made Elsa run for her money, even Jack Frost decided not to go in. So, naturally I decided to go in. 'Bout 4 times. Dunked under 5, meaning I ha one dunk for every hour we were there. There was also fog. So much fog I was looking or scooby and the gang or Sam and Dean or both. You couldn't even see the poles from the volleyball courts or big red or even the thin on the pier from halfway down the pier! It was fog so thick, Ron was impressed (Harry Potter... FYI). Anyways, then I slept over at Indianas house and now I'm back home before going to yet another thing. Busy busy me!
The cold never bothered me anyway

Cabbage party

It's July-s birthday! Happy b-day July!
Now, finally I get to share about my weekend while some suckers... I mean amazing people, waste... I mean spend their time reading it. Just kiddin... Well, mostly. You guys aren't suckers but I doubt this post will help you survive the zombie apocalypse (I do have some other posts that might...) but hopefully it will be entertaining. Anyways, Saturday morning I volunteered with July at her church. We all had different foods to hand out, and I had cabbages. When I was part way through this thingy, I realized I was the unusually knowledgeable cabbage merchant from Avatar the last airbender!
 
That guy! The poster is from the ember island players episode. "His sources include singing nomads, pirates, prisoners of war, and a surprisingly knowledgeable merchant of cabbage"
I WAS THE SURPRISINGLY KNOWLEDGEABLE MERCHANT OF CABBAGE!
 
Then I went to Jessie's b-day part-ay. And that is the girliest way I will ever say that. It was super fun. We did Indian leg wrestling and food, including a very good store bought red velvet cake, which is surprising it's store bought cause Jessie is ALWAYS baking and cooking and getting other crafty ideas (not illegal or suspicious crafty, I mean like creative crafty).
 
Anyways, then we played mafia, and it was really fun. I was the mafia the first time and I WON!!! I am quite a good murderer. Anyways, then there were a few new rounds and finally I got to be the narrator. I was determined to make every death a fandom reference, and there was also a girl who kept on getting accused of being the mafia and wanted to die a dramatic death. Well, plot twist! She got accused of being the mafia again. So, I said she escaped her execution, got on a pirate ship and then the mafia fired her out of a cannon into the krakens mouth. Ha! Okay, not the same, but at least it was sorta dramatic. Ish. Then the last person who got killed was killed by Loki (who was being controlled by the mafia...) and she asked if he was hot 'cause she isn't into superheroes and hasn't seen either Thor movie or the avengers and I said yes and she asked if she made out with him before he died. I said sure, so, Loki fangirls, I created a new Loki fangirl AND helped her get further with Loki than any other Loki fangirl has. Of course, she's dead so now the rest of your chances go from -10 to 0. Happy Hanuka! Just kidding, I'm still planning on marrying one out of like ten fictional characters (I'm happy with any of them) so I have so little right to be talking about how unrealistic your chances are.  Mine are less so. Plus she's not dead. Also didn't really makeout with Loki.
I also got saved by like, all the nurses, so I feel special. Aw. Um... Let's see... We created a band called the murderers (totally sounds like my kind of music ;p) and there was a guy who was writing a story with everyone in it and they were super heroes and one of them said they were a bad cook so he had her burn mac-n-cheese and ya know the very dramatic chess game cliché from well, everything? In the book it's a very dramatic checkers game. Plus, well, superheroes.
I was the only one at the party that didn't go to Jessie's school so I knew her (doy) and like two other who've been to birthdays I've been to before so I kinda know them, but not very well. Despite that I had a lot of fun and everyone was pretty cool. So, I actually had a lot of fun. :)

Critter Barn

Hey. Yesterday I went to the critter barn with July. We used to work there when we were younger. It was a lot funner then because we could go into the pens (even if you didn't work there) and pick up animals. But, now they're a bit stricter. Thankfully it was still fun. Sadly we couldn't go into any pens except the cats, but you could pet the animals. When me and July worked there we got stuck in the chicken coop because the latch was somehow broken. We figured at least three times between the two of us (although probably more), technically 2 times each 'cause once we got stuck together in there during the donkey wedding. I also got stuck in there once with a girl who was afraid of chickens. Yeah, bad experiences. She was nice, but also stuck in a room full of chickens. Yesterday we couldn't go in the chicken pen... Which also meant I couldn't get stuck in it. Which is good. We went into the cat pen and found a cat that acted like a dog but then it attacked other cats trying to play with us, so we thought it had attachment issues and decided to run. We also got buckets of hay to feed the donkeys and dropped it into the donkey pen. TWICE. That's how clutsy we are! It was pretty fun.

Good vs. Evil vamps, werewolves ghouls and everything else

Hey. So, remember when I got the Marshall Lee T?
There it is again to jog your memory. Anyways, when I wore it I got into a discussion with my mom (where all good posts begin ;p) about vampires and werewolves. She said when she was young vampires and werewolves and zombies and ghosts and witches were bad and now they can be bad or good and she doesn't know what she thinks (but she's leaning towards dislike).
Partially, I agree with her. There is something nice about he's a vampire, he's evil, she's a vampire hunter, she's good. The bad is always the bad. It's why my mom didn't like Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier as much as the first one. It was dark and what's bad was good and what's good was bad and there is no set line for the good side (Although we all know the Captain is about as far on the good side as anyone I've ever seen).
That's when I though of supernatural. In the first couple of seasons that was it. It's a wendigo? Bad. It's a vampire? Evil. It's a ghost? We'll send 'em where he deserves. But then there was some moral dispute partially through supernatural and where it is today. Yeah, she's a monster but she can't help it. Yes, they are vampires, but they do everything they can to not hurt people. They do revolting, painful things to not kill people. He is a vampire, but he's trying to redeem himself. He's trying to start a new better life. He saved Dean.
And I have to say, while I love the comfort of knowing, I also know how much it hurts because you're different you're bad when you just can't help it. When you didn't choose to be different, you just are. It's not like they said OH! Yay! Make me a vampire! Please!! I wanna go around killing people, please let me! They were turned because of someone else's choice, or in Marshall Lee/Marceline's case, they were born vampires. It's not like they were begging people to turn them. It's not their fault so they shouldn't be treated different or hunted because of something they didn't choose. A good person could be a vampire just as easily as a bad person.
It doesn't change you unless you let it.
It's your fault who you are.
And every other cliché.
You choose your side.
Good Vamp

it's tough being a princess

So, I'm wearing my Disney princess T from hot topic.

There it is again if you forgot. I absolutely love this T because it shows being a princess isn't all I have a dream and A Whole New World's it's also Poor Unfortunate Souls and Mother Knows Best. I mean, sure Belle is super pretty and everyone's nice to her, but everyone only values her for her looks (because as said somewhere in that movie, she seems a little off. Girls? Reading? O.O UNBELIEVABLE!) and then her dad goes missing, she switches placed, goes from hating to loving it there and it gets attacked because only Gaston deserves such a pretty girl. If only she would shut up! Sure Jasmine is a princess, but she's being forced to marry to some jerk so she runs away, meets a guy who gets arrested and she thinks it's her fault she killed the only one who treated her like a normal person. Rapunzel is a princess with magic hair -SCORE- but she gets kidnapped for it, falls in love with a guy who her kidnapper then stabs and he saves her when she was going to save him instead. Anna is a princess -this seems to be a common theme- but her best friend ignores her for years, has powers, and runs away. She goes after her, gets her heart frozen, and her fiancé tries to kill her. Mulan is a daughter of a rich family with honor, but she doesn't fit in. She goes to war to save her dad finally fits in and -guess what?- everyone finds out she's different and dislikes her again.

Sure, everyone of these stories ends up well, but nothing is perfect. Not even a princess's life.

But life's amazing
And through it all even with your problems facing.
So just know its okay."

The Knife Of Never Letting Go review

I just went blueberry picking with July, and baby sat yesterday but nothing much really has happened. At least, note worthy bloggy stuff. So, The Knife Of Never Letting Go review. July wanted me to read it, and well... I wasn't expecting to like it so much. ONTO THE REVIEW!!!

Basic Plot: Todd Hewitt is a month away from being a man. In Prentisstown boys become men on their thirteenth birthday. Todd Hewitt is the last boy in Prentisstown to become a man. Since he's the last boy, all the other men even if they're just thirteen and a couple months, are ignoring him, because what important men can speak to boys?
Becoming a man at thirteen isn't the only strange happening in Prentisstown. There's also noise. Did you know that the average person has a thousand thoughts per second? You can only remember one or two. But with noise? You hear every single persons thousand thoughts per second. Including animals. Well, every boy's and man's and animal's thousand thoughts per second. There are no woman or even girls in Prentisstown. They all died when the noise came. But one day when Todd is out in the swamp he finds a creature with no noise. Soon his dad sends him and his dog, Manchee, out with a book from his mom and a map. He can only read a bit, and it says "You must warn them". Of what? Now, not only is an army from Prentisstown chasing him, but also Aaron, who WILL NOT DIE. While running he meets the hole in the noise; a girl named Viola. But, all the girls died, or so he was told. If he was lied to about this, what else is a lie? What does he have to warn them about? And what does Aaron (and the rest of Prentisstown) want?

Thoughts: It started out slow, was very confusing and the grammar and spelling was horrific. And this is coming from definitely spelled like definantly from me. Oh, yeah. But, of course, I really did like it. Although, I also predicted most of it, like *Spoiler* and *Spoiler* and of course, I predicted *Spoiler* Um... It also has strong language and *Spoiler* a dog dies. *Spoiler over* overall though, it's a pretty good. I dunno why... but I liked it.

Rating: Like 4/5 maybe?

Sun Shine award and yesterdays Fiasco (without actually knowing what Fiasco means)

I got nominted for the Sun Shine award, by my bestie July. Of course, that being said, I'm going to do the SS award, but I have a funny/embarrassing story to tell about yesterday first.
July is away at a robotics conference, so I'm watching her dog. I was outside and had both my dog and her dog outside with me. July's dog was chained up, but my dog wasn't. Our backyard has a hill then a road, and a lot of people go through it to get into the neighborhood. Well, someone was doing that when my dog, who is really a big fuzzball in a big slightly scary body (that actually seems to be most of my family...) went barreling after them. I mean, it's not like he attacks them but he sounds a bit like he will. Anyways, I don't really see many people going through our yard, except Phoenix's friends who do it all the time and the kid wasn't and that just felt sooooo weird. Instead the kid who doggie went over to was my crush from last year......... -.-" I love doggie but RREEEEEAAALLLLLLYYYYY. o'.'o

ANYWAYS... Sun Shine Award!




Thank the person who nominated you.
Answer the questions the person who nominated you asked.
Nominate a bunch of other bloggers. 
Question the people you nominated.
Tell them that you nominated them.



-What is your favorite summer activity?
Swimming/pier jumping
-Would you prefer lemonade or soda?
Soda, but I also LOVE lemonade, don't worry
-Out of the following, which would you most enjoy visiting for the day- the beach, the pool, the ocean, the swimming hole in the woods?
Swimming hole in the woods. Swimming? Check. Secluded location? Check. Woods? Check. Awesome? Triple check.
-What is your summer song?
Weightless by All Time Low
-What is your opinion on old Disney movies?
If it's Disney, it's epic, no matter how old
-Would you eat cookies if I baked them?
Depends on the type, but probably
-If you could travel anywhere this summer vacation with no cost to you, where would it be, why, and what would you do there?
Three way tie:
1: Hawaii, cause it's the most epic summer get away ever and I would most definantly swim a lot and hopefully learn to surf
2: Bermuda Triangle! Because if there's one thing I like it's supernatural things and the Bermuda Triangle is a very supernatural place. I would probably try to figure out WHY it is so... Not Natural
3: Japan. This should be obvious, but... I am a anime addict and a Gamer who really loves Nintendo... Both of which come from Japan. I would really love to check out companies that produce anime's and Nintendo games, plus I would love to check out some sites, hopefully go to an anime store and whatever else I could think of. I have a whole summer!

As the thingy goes I have to nominate people, but as usual, I don't know anyone who isn't nominated, so... If you want it, take it. I'll answer the questions I ask soon, as usual. And yeah...

-If you could have ANY animal that's still alive/real as a pet what animal would it be?
-If you could have ANY fantasy/extinct animal as a pet what animal would it be?
-Describe your dream castle.
-Which Disney princess are you most like?
-Which Disney princess do you LOOK like?
-If you were a princess what would you do in your free time?
-Favorite Disney quote?
-If you were any animal, what would you want to be?
-What's your spirit animal (this is NOT your favorite animal, it's the animal that goes with your personality)?

So..... Yeap.

Prodigy (Legend book #2) Review

Here's the thing; I finished Prodigy a couple-a-days ago, and I really loved it and wanna review it........................ But I don't wanna. If everything starts looking weird it's cause I started crying. Kay? Kay. For the record, I don't cry easily, only over fandoms (books, anime yada yada). Anyways, lemme begin.
I've been wanting to do book reviews like, real reviews for a while so I'm gonna try it out right now. So.............. prepare for me to be weirder than usual. Or more normal. Either way it's.... Weird? Not normal? Eh, whatever. BTW this'll definitely spoil Legend but so if you haven't read Legend and mind spoilers don't read. I'll warn ya if it spoils Prodigy. Deal? Deal.
Prodigy review
Plot: People usually do the back of the book whatever, but I'd rather do it myself This might suck. Anyways... June and Day are running from the cops/military/everyone but before going to the colonies Day wants to check in on the Patriots and make sure Tess is okay. The leader of the patriots, Razor, says that he'll help Day with his bullet wound, find Eden and then help June, Day, Eden and Tess escape to the Colonies if (and only if) June and Day agree to work for the republic. One job. To assassinate the new elector. Day agrees, but June is less sure. She finally agrees just to help Day. The elector's dad (the previous elector) just died, leaving him at his most vulnerable. Rumor has it he's quite taken with June, the perfect prodigy. The plan is for June to get close to the elector and gain his trust by warning him about a fake assassination so he'll trust her and she can lead him into an assassination. Complicated, right? Anyways, as June goes to work gaining his trust, she begins wondering, if the new elector is anything like his father.
As June is being treated to expensive dinners in expensive dresses being the worlds most well treated prisoner, Day is trying to fit in with the patriots. There are a couple problems: Tess is jealous of June, Some people think Day will ruin everything for June if she's still loyal to the republic and that Day has morals. The patriots, not so much.
So, anyways, point being: Elector is going to be dead and might not deserve it. No one trusts Day because of June.
 
Thoughts: I love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love loved it. While I loved it, that does not mean it was perfect. They made a guy flirt with Day and Metias was gay both of which made me feel kinda awkward and I don't exactly support gay rights... Sadly, most books now are doing that. UGH! Anyways, another blemish on this amazing sequel is Tess. I adored her in the first book, but in this one she was petty and jealous and totally coming onto my man (Did I mention I'm June? Cause I am). Anyways, the last thing that I less than loved was that it ended with *SPOILER* you finding out Day's dying so he breaks up with June without telling her he's freakin dying and so June thinks it's something else and DUDE! Men *Mock shakes head* *SPOILER OVER* Overall, I LOVED it. Amazing sequel to a nearly perfect series.
Rating: I don't know about rating things, but since I'm doing a review......... 4/5. Loved it, but really Tess and Metias?

Beach days

Let's hit the beach.
*Looks off into the distance like every cheesy show flashback ever* My parents beach license expired, so I was dropped off a bit further away than usual. I walk over and don't see anyone from my church, but as I walk closer I see... A group of guys from my church. Not knowing where the church stuff is, I go over there. Appariently they're super loud and social -.-" Not that being loud and social is bad, but I am very antisocial even to the point where I might have slight anxiety. Maybe not but maybe... Anyways, the church group isn't even set up yet, so I get to help carry all this stuff to the beach. Whoo. Seriously, I'm cool with it. Anyways, then a couple of us got on the boat while two others went tubing. It was really wavy, it being lake Michigan and all. I was asked if I wanted to go too. Then the driver (and youth pastor) proceeded to say he would go easier. It was sooooooooo on. I went with the other kid in the boat and while we didn't go super hard, I'm willing to bet it was about as hard as the other guys went. And I didn't fall off. Then I exhaustedly went on shore, and was chillin when these guys from our church came up and said that they needed a new member to help them catch a sea gull. I volunteered and it was super fun.
Then, being brilliant, a group of people from our church went pier jumping. And no one was doing it before we came, but after we did, a bunch of people started doing it. Yeah! I absolutely loooovvveeee pier jumping. And stupid things. I knew I should've worn my "WARNING: I do dumb things" T-shirt yesterday. Anyways, it was super fun and me and my friend Ivy -the only girls in the group- jumped off and two of the guys didn't so we started teasing them about us girls being braver and tougher than they were. It got one of them to jump. Yay! Then we proceeded to leave, and we ran into two girls from our church playing on the rocks. They said they'd never been pier jumping before so we brought them to the end of the pier and tried to get them to jump off. One of the girls steadfastly refused and the other one was scarred at first, and her friend kept on saying not to so I said "Don't try to peer pressure her into making good decisions! What kind of a friend are you?!"
Then we sadly went back to the sane people and I went tubing again with Ivy. We were both pretty sure he was trying to get us to fall off, and I said it was probably because I hadn't fallen off earlier so she tried to push me. And succeeded. Ugh. Anyways, it was fun.
For the remainder of the time we  watched guys from our church play volleyball against people we didn't recognize and we were cheerleaders cause we both suck at volleyball. But hey, it was fun.

Dystopian vs Futuristic

Okay, so I looked for the definition to dystopian and it said: "'Utopian' describes a society that's conceived to be perfect. Dystopian is the exact opposite — it describes an imaginary society that is as dehumanizing and as unpleasant as possible." So, my thought is why is every futuristic novel dystopian? Can't it just be plain old futuristic? And why is Legend considered dystopian? Okay, so the trials are bad, evil, sadistic. But other than that, the Legend universe is pretty much a regular government. Riots, poor people, government corruption... That happens in almost every society, time, government... And that makes me question something else. This has nothing to do with previously written books. Okay, so if I write a futuristic novel where the world was kinda destroyed and gone to heck but then a government comes out and helps the universe and it's not dehumanizing or unpleasant, if it's just a regular government would people still consider it dystopian and be annoyed at yet another dystopian book or could it be good? And are there any other futuristic books that aren't considered dystopian.
Now, I have stuff to do

Super Zelda

Heeeeeyyyyyyyyy. I gotta do the ultimate gay guy hhheeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyy so..... that was that. Anyways, this post is going to be overflowing with Legend Of Zelda and Superheroes, but it will have a theme for everyone if you'd just... Listen! Or well, read, but I mean, c'mon guys it's brave. Anyways, so, non-nerd, hang in there. So, anyways, in LoZ there is the triforce.
 While it is usually gold, I chose one where the triforce told you what each section meant. The triforce has three pieces that make a triangle. Each piece represents a different thing. Power, Courage and wisdom. Along with the pieces each having a different power, they have a different person too.
 
Ganon (this being the Skyward sword version Demise, but that name ain't foolin anyone) with power, Zelda with Wisdom (needed for a princess) and Courage with Link (hero. Fits. Actually, they all fit into their role but anyways).

 
Still along the lines of Skyward Sword, it's the triforce with their helpers instead of them. Anyways, while I could spend posts and posts and posts talking about the triforce alone (don't even get me started on the whole LoZ universe) that isn't what this post is about. Anyways, so I was on Facebook (Yes, people still go on that) and I saw a picture of Link with his triforce glowing and a bible verse under it about courage. I LOVE that picture. It's my ipod lock screen now. Anyways, it inspired me to draw each of the main LoZ characters and the triforce and put a bible verse that has to do with the power of their triforce piece by it. I did well on Zelda and Link's, but I couldn't find a good one for Ganon's. I mean, I wanna do a bible verse about power, but it can't be one about power being good, because Ganon well, isn't. Which brings me to superpowers; with great power comes great responsibility. I mean, everyone says that line is way overused but oh my gosh, it's annoying how many people don't even think about it. They're just like yeah yeah, can spidey fight green goblin yet? I mean, cheesy yes. But... MEGAMIND! Perfect example of this! He's infused with power and what does he do? Steal, try to kill people and destroy the town. Evil. I mean, even in man of steel he has his power but if he'd never used it? Well, the whole world would probably be destroyed and evil aliens would be out destroyin stuff. Ya know, the usual. What if Ironman stopped being a superhero after he saved his own butt? Well, needless to say, terrorists, whiplash, fire. Not only from his own movies, but LOKI. I know all ya fangirls were waiting for this. Loki would've WON had Ironman not used his great power kinda sorta responsible. Hear me out; they wouldn't have been able to track Loki, there would be more chitari out and about without a hero to fight so, less alive people and he wouldn't be able to get rid of the missle in the end, New York would've been THE NEW GRAND CANNON! Seriously. So, as you can see, Even not using power is bad. And, of course, using power badly is bad. But there's also the fact that power corrupts. Not always, but sometimes. It would take a while, so..... That's a whole 'nother post. As usual. Sowwy. But hey, the whole things up there was good. Right?
Good
At least, I hope

CIR

Remember when I was talking about  CIR (Crush-induced-rudeness)? Well, I have been a victim of it before. I may or may not have gotten it before, but that's usually my sassy attitude so whatever. I'm not saying I never get it, I'm just saying I don't usually get it. I mean.... Well, I'll get to that. First off, the instances of when it happened in St. Louis........
So, did I mention that the kid I tutored told me I had to go out with this one guy or I'd be "an old cat lady forever". The responses I got were usually ones that I could laugh off, and actually, they were pretty funny and I didn't get offended. The exception was brought on by someone with CIR. So, during the museum drama we were all sitting and chillin, and somehow it came up and I said the old cat lady thing and how most people said "well you could" and part of the love triangle A, who is like one of the nicest sweetest people ever (or so I though. Seriously, ya know knew born puppies? They were meaner than her before CIR). Anyways, A was like "I could see you being forever alone because you don't think any guy is good enough for you". I can stand the others, think they're funny even. But that crossed a line, hit a nerve, pissed me the frick off.... Went wwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too far. I mean, SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I Don't think anyone's good enough for ME?!?! If I was in anime right now, I would look like this...
So, as you can see, my inner cha was like CHA! There is a difference. The difference saves or ends lives. Apparently CIR is contagious. Anyways, that hit a nerve because I am boy crazy (*DISCLAIMER* Being boy crazy doesn't mean I just give myself out like a prize at a carnival game or a free ice cream bar. I'm even saving myself for marriage, which is more than I can say for most people at our school who "aren't sluts" according to my friends. It just means I think about guys about %1000000 more of the time). I am so boy crazy that Yin and Red John look sane. Heck, even most anime addicts look sane! Anyways, being boy crazy also includes thinking a lot of guys are good enough. I mean, hello I am definitely  not winning any beauty pageants or getting elected prom queen yet SHE has the nerve to THINK that I have the nerve to think someone's NOT good enough for ME?!?!?! Just because I don't get CIR or sell my soul to the devil whenever I'm by my crush doesn't mean I don't have a crush. I mean, I act normal around my crush, which may look like I don't know they exist/don't like them, but I still reeeeaaaaaallllllllllyyyyyyy like them. It's better than freaking them out or well.... Admit it, if TV shows were really how people acted around their crush, wouldn't you be freaked the heck out? Well, believe it or not kids, some people ACTUALLY act like that in front of their crush. Well, that AND WORSE. That's right, there's worse.
I have more examples of CIR, but that one was probably one of the worst ones I've ever experienced.
What's your experience with CIR

4th of July

Fun day drama part 2 on the 4th of July

Okay, a week later, fun day drama. Yesterday was fun day but it didn't exactly get to the drama part............. I'm procrastinating, aren't I? I put the pro in procrastinate. Procrastinators unite! Tomorrow. I'm working on my procrastination issues, wait and see. Procrastinate so if the world ends tomorrow, you don't have to do it. Oh! Happy fourth of July! I'm doing fireworks! And making firecracker cake. Oh, yeah, the whole drama........ FINE. So, I'm starting with the Ferris wheel. It's a small one, maybe like half or a quarter of a regular sized one, but it's on top of a ten story building (I should know, I went up ALL TWO HUNDRED STAIRS). Anyways, I've always wanted to go on it, but the first year the group I was with wouldn't let me go on (Them: "___ Is scared of heights and almost threw up" Me: "I'm a bit scared of heights too" Them: "Are you going to throw up?" Me: "I don't think so" Them: "You're going to throw up. Just wait down here." And they wouldn't let me on -.-") Anyways, then last year I didn't go, cause I didn't have like, any friends who wanted to go on it. Anyways, so this year I FINALLY got to ride the Ferris wheel. I actually rode it three times. And I still feel cheated. First ride: So, I've never been on this thing before, and I was going on with two guys from the church and I said I was kinda afraid of heights and they both said they were too, so I thought, hey, no problem. Well, I got to the top thought, hey, this isn't too bad. Well, I was on the end and the kid in the middle must've thought that it wasn't too bad either. Because he announced it super duper uber loud and started swinging the chair thing we were sitting in. It freaked me out the first time, but by the third I was fine, but the kid on the other side of the swingy-dude was NOT. He was freaking out and I asked the kid to stop and well.... He didn't and I was pissed off and dude, I was soooooo close to pushing him off or hugging him to get him to stop. UGH! Well, anyways, the next time I went on I was with my three "friends" one guy and two other girls both of whom wanted to go with the guy (not that I blame them, but I mean, c'mon.... Bros before hoes. Yeah, I am calling the guy a ho, deal with it) and so, anyways, none of them wanted to ride with me, so they shoved random dude B from our church on with me. I didn't know him so like, while we were riding the Ferris wheel I asked him twice what was new with him or whatever and he just freakin ignored me so I finally just ignored him and we both looked pissed off and seriously, we looked like a couple that had gotten in a fight like on the Ferris wheel. The last time I went on I went with one of the girls fangirling over the guy we were hanging out with and had the honor of hearing how jealous she was of them. I was like OH MY FREAKIN GOSH. He's hot and nice and sweet, but I mean, guys, BROS BEFORE HOES. Yeah, I'm aware the love triangle is the other way, but it still works. It was so annoying. And like, The museum was actually GREAT until the whole love triangle crap started and after that I didn't really see any of my friends to switch groups. Plus Wendy started saying she was going to stick Tinkerbelle in a jar til she suffocated then she was gonna drown peter pan. Did I mention we came up with nicknames for people? I was tiger lily. Cause I'm apparently the only one in the universe not in love with him. Ugh. So, anyways, I had to deal with that for the last part of the museum and I was trying to keep Psycho Wendy from killing anyone. She kinda was being the evil version of herself and I was trying to keep her calm and she psycho-ed out. I finally got pissed off and went to being my normal murderous self. As soon as I finally snapped back into reality guess who got the frick over their boy drama? Well whoopee-dy-flippin-doo. I may or may not still be abso-freakin-lutely PISSED THE FRICK OFF. Livid. Angry. Murderous. And all other synonyms.
Happy 4th!

Not-as-fun-fun-day part 1

Hello! Hi. Whazzup? Okay, a little under a week after the dramatic fun day in St. Louis, sorry it's been taking so long. Okay, so the fun day follows the basic structure of Zoo, lunch at the city gardens (a series of three, awesome fountains and even more sculptures to climb on) and then the city museum. The zoo was fantastic, and I got a build-a-bear fox named Abnegation (Abby). The city fountains were just as good. This was actually the first year I was able to swim in the fountains, because in the past well... stuff happened, I always wanted to be able to swim in them so I was super excited. Actually, I'm still kinda excited happy. Yay! So, me and a couple of my friends wandered over to this other fountain that was actually kinda far away. We went over there FIRST and more and more people started coming from our church. We went back so the group wouldn't leave without us and they were headed over there. They actually were carrying our stuff, thankfully, and the guy who had my stuff was like here and just like dropped it all/handed it too me. It would've been annoying if I hadn't found it kinda funny. So, I started walking back and said to my friend that I wanted to ask him if he wanted to carry my stuff the rest of the way. I didn't, cause, well..... I don't actually know.  Maybe I do manage to be a good person sometimes. Just promise you won't tell anyone. Then there's the city museum..... Wow....... So, first off I finally went on the ferris wheel. And boy, does this tie in with all the ddddddrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa........................ Would you guys be pissed if I put that off until tomorrow? Cause, A) It's a lot I wanna say and B) I have to go help with dinner. SORRY!!!!!!

Piano St. L.

Sorry, I know I'd promised I would post about St. Louis but I'm babysitting, so I can't post about my fun day (it was a llllooooooooonnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggg day). I do actually have a short thing I forgot to mention yesterday... So, while doing yard work I finished with my part (front) the lawn mower gave up so the leader went to go get gas and one of the kids was still mowing the lawn in the back. I was pulling weeds up front when the other kid came and talked to me and said there was a piano inside and he wanted to play it. I asked him if he played and he said "a little bit". A LITTLE BIT?!?! We went in later and he asked if he could play and the widow who owned the house said sure and dude, he was waaayyyy better than just "a little bit". I mean, super good. Then at the city museum he was playing the piano and me and my friend were listening and we both decided we would hire him to play the piano at our houses if we were rich. Actually, I do have a piano...... Wonder if he woul play for free..... Music lover Super-chu DeWitt Raven INVERTED PYRAMID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

St. lu

Hey! So, I've been back from St. Louis for a couple days, yet this s ny first realpost. Well, hi. I'm actually typing this on my moms tablet so it may look different and I may make a lot of mistakes, because I'm not used to it. Sowwy! Anyways, St. Loui! I love it, and tomorrow I'mgoing ti sharesoe deeper stuff Ilearned on the trip, todays just the usual. STL schedule: breakfast, sermon kinda thing, tutoring, lunch, work project, dinner, backyard bible club (bbc), wrap up kinda thingy, sleep. Then do it all over again the next day. The onlyexceptions; saturday: driving. Sunday: churh, lunch, bbc. Friday: zoo, fountains, museum.. and beforre you thinkboring, lemme tell you, it has a ferris wheel and a bus AND THATS JUSTTHE ROOF! Imagine aplayground and now imagine it inside aten storybuilding and thatsthe city museum. But, week first...... Car ride was awesome. I was alone, cause you could choose a friend to go with the whole time, but I said I was fine alone, meaning I couldbe in an all guy car twice in a row, which also assigned me tobreakfast dutywith said all guy group. But I didnt mind. I actually enjoyed it more! Then there was sunday and for lunxh you get to eat with a family from the church.our famiky had a cute littledog. Free time then i wentto bbc with my part of the craft group went to Etzel cause it rhymeswith pretzel. Hehe. The next day Igot my tutoring girl, named Malindi, officially the coolest name ever. I sat at a table nearmy male FRIEND, whos my friend but also a guy. Anyways, she kept saying we should date,then she wrote him a note asking if he wante to go out with me (no, he was did not. Shut up) and then she wrote me a note saying I had to or I'd be an old cat lady forever (her words, not mine). Whenever i told thatstory people usually said "well you COULD" but I also heard "you wouldnt be an old cat lady. I cant see you with cats." AND "I could see you alone because you dont think any guyisgood enough foryou" although that last coment could be a disease called Crush-induced-rudeness, or CIR. Any people lose friends due to it every year. shehad CIR that WHOLE day. Evil. Symptoms of CIR includes wanting to act cool, populr or like anything that isn't your REAL personality. Thats a whole notherpost. Tutoring waslikethat all week. work projects for me wercost more te: D(ay) 1: diggng a trench so that it doesnt flood the playground. Nothing notable that day. D2: lawn mowing. I have actually never mowed a lawn until then. And I was with two guys, making 3 of us, with 2 lawn mowers and a weed wacker. Everyone had to do something, meaning I had to learn how to mow a lawn. The guy who taught me? Well, he was a year younger than me, which isn't much, but its enoughh to make me super emarassed. To make it more awkward, I kinda like him like him. Which is never to be mentioned again, repeated or thought about again. Kay? Kay. D3: quiet time. D4: filling in a pond. Okay, so a missionary had a sister. Who was a widow. Run down house, nice neighorhood. She died, bbrother gets house. He wants to fix it up and sell it so he ca continue his missionary work. There was a pond in the backyard that was so bad it would cost more to fix than it would to get rid of it. So, we filled it in with dirt. I was with all guys (the yard work guys and a new one) plus a leader who had only sons. Not the type youd expect to know disney music. Yet, we played disney music and got into an unspoken competition of saying the song first. I, of course, won. But, whenever I said the movie, no one really listened, someone else would say it, i wouldtell them i already said it. The things that are NOT perks of being a wallflower. Anywho, it was fun and the guy who taught me to mow the lawn? Well, if I knew a Disney song I would sing along, awkwardly, look up to see if anyone noticed and most of the time he was singing along too, which made me feel better. Thats all for today, the fun days drama will take a whole post. Disnerd Super-chu Raven DeWitt
