Leap Year

              So, this year is a leap year, which means one more day of February, which then leads to an extra day of the year.

             Now I'm not fully aware of the point of leap years. I mean according to Google, it's used as a corrective day, because after four years it takes an extra day for the earth to orbit around the sun. But truthfully who really, like really, cares whether the earth orbits the sun in 365 or 366 days?

             It totally could just be me, but leap year seems pretty useless. I supposed after a lot of years the years would be thrown off, but then why, of all months, add the day to February? Like, yes, February does have the least days of all the months. But why does February have so few days? It's kind of just like, hey people who made the calendar, take a day off of two of the months that have 31 days and give it to February, then just add the leap day to the end of the year rather than some random month of the year.

              I do suppose it's a little late to change the calendar now, but still, what can you do?

Picture Story~A Story Based off of A Photo

                  So this week, I'm writing a based off a picture. So this is the picture I found that I could actually come up with a story for. Funny thing is the story I'm telling you is partially true...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

              A mother walks into her small suburban home. It seemed awfully quiet, but decided to dismiss it and enjoy the rare silence. Grateful for the peace, the young mother sat down on their couch and picked up a book.

              A few hours later, the mother became antsy. Of course she like the quiet, but it had been too quiet for too long. The baby should have cried for his afternoon snack by now and her other daughter should have been yelling for her to shut the baby up. She got up and walked up the old wooden stairs to the second floor.

              

           "Anne?" she called for her first and eldest child. There was no response. Beginning to worry, she approached her daughters room. 

           "Anne" she called once more firmly now. Still with no answer, she opened the poster covered door. She was welcomed by her daughter as well as another girl she had yet to see. Her daughter looked up.

        

          "Oh, hi mom. Aren't you home early?" she asked, with a face that seemed a little too innocent.
         
          "No, I am not," the mother looked at the girl sitting on the twin sized bed covered with flower bedding and stuffed toys "May I ask who you might be? I don't believe we have met," she continued with a smile.
       
          "Um, Lexi, ma'am. Your daughter invited me over, she, uh, said it would be fine with you" said the girl awkwardly. The girl, Lexi, fiddled nervously with her hand.

        "Yes that would have been fine if she asked, however I can't just kick you out. Now, May I ask where your brother is, you should be watching him," the mother raised an eyebrow and look at her daughter in the eyes.

        "I'm mean, technically I am..." Anne looked towards the wall beside the door. This part of the wall however was block from her mother's view due to how the door opened. Her mom walked a bit farther into the room and gasped.

        "Anne!" she exclaimed. She had found her one year old boy had been taped to the wall with duck tape! "downs stares now," she said firmly "And Lexi, dear, I'm so sorry but could you call your parents and ask them to come pick you up?"

        Lexi immediately headed for the door as Anne trudged. The mother quickly went to the other side of the door frame an carefully began un-taping the baby.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      Well I'll leave the rest to your imagination. Tell me what happens to Anne, and what happens when her father gets home? ADIOS!

Science is Interesting....

So, in science class we had to make gametes and make them reproduce.... Now, not the most beautiful creature on earth, but possibly not the ugliest... But our teacher wanted us to do a blog post on how this, ah,  wonderful, creature fits in. So, um, here we go.

Dear diary,

         Today was my first day of school. It was interesting. I was the only one with both horns and a halo, but I guess it's kind of cool. Some older kid said it was ironic, but I'm not sure what that means really. Some people made fun of my nose and thumbs, but I can't be to bothered by it. I mean, no ones perfect. Right?  I'm not the most pleased with my toes, but at least they're covered by me shoes. But it wasn't all negative. People loved my hair, they said they wished they had long curly hair like mine. One person said "I can't imagine how long it'd be f it were strait," I think it was a compliment. well that's all I have for today, diary.

Food, Glorious Food😋

FOOOOOOD!

                  So as one might tell, this post is about food, yum.... SO! Here we go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Emotional Food

                  What is emotional food? I don't know. In this case it's just a food that has a memory attached to it....I guess...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  No, not all emotional foods need to have huge moving, memories. Okay, why Doritos? Well I don't actually remember this happening, but I remember hearing this this story many, many times.

Doritos

                  So, this was during the summer, and at a family party, there was a bag of Doritos, alright? Nothing out of the ordinary. But my oldest brother decided to take each Dorito from the bag, lick it, and put it back. Ew, I know. But then my aunt went to eat them, but now that my brother had licked them all, they were a....slightly....ahh shall I put it, soggy........ So she eats one and just says, "Hm, these are soggy, it must be really humid," and continues to eat it....

                   Would no one be like, "Oh these are soggy, I wonder why, I'm not going to eat them" You don't even have to put the thing in your MOUTH! I think you'd be able to tell when you touch it....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wheat Thins

                        Ah, the Wheat Thins....

                  So this was again during the summer, and there was a party, in a way, at my house. Now we live behind a park, so there were basically people every where. An so around dust, my dad started a bonfire. and so there was this box of Wheat Thins. And so, my one cousin got bored and decided to start throwing the Wheat Thins into the fire....

                  Why would he do that? I really don't know. Why did you let him do it? I didn't really care, I thought....I don't know what I thought. But my mother was like "stOp you're wAsting foOd"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Potatoes

                    Bake 'em, Mash em', Put 'em inna' stew~~~~How do you like Your Potatoes done?

                      So, sometimes for Thanksgiving my family will go up to Wisconsin to my mom's parents. And so my grandma will usually make these amazing mashed potatoes, both white and sweet potatoes. And sometimes even the potatoes will be grown in their garden.And so then the potatoes come out of the oven warm  and everything right? Yum.

                    And so one fateful Thanksgiving, we went up to Wisconsin. And so nothing seemed abnormal or anything. We sit down for dinner and then start serving our selves. Everyone is taking a bit of everything; Mashed potatoes, sweet mashed potatoes, ham, turkey. green bean casserole and all that good stuff. And so my dad is the first to take a bit of the sweet potatoes, nothing abnormal. But then my brother ate some sweet potato, and he makes this weird face. He re-aligns his face to a happier expression and says "Hey grandma, how do you like the sweet potatoes?"

                       Now my grandma hadn't tried the sweet potatoes yet, so naturally in order to answer my brother's question she tries some.

                      I was young, and so I don't exactly remember the reaction, however I wish I did. But these sweet potatoes weren't the home grown, home made potatoes that my grandma usually made. These potatoes came from a can... I wouldn't think that a potatoes would taste as bad as they did, even from a can, maybe from my school, but canned potatoes shouldn't have tasted that bad. So, luckily, I was not a victim of the canned sweet potatoes that year

                    A few years later my dad did get a few cans of the oh so "wonderful' sweet potatoes....

Glory's right. :P

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                        Welp, I hope you don't think my family and I are completely insane yet, ADIOS!

What's New~Nothing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

         

What am I writing you ask?~ Well I don't really know myself

   This week for class is doing a free post, but on days like today I'm lacking in imagination (only slightly). "How can you run out of imagination?" one might ask. Well fellow beings, I used my share for two days yesterday while drawing. "What were you drawing" a young sapling may ponder. Well young sapling, that could become an ancient mystery. Because it was simply abstract art, and that isn't something that can reallllllly be explained. sO, this week my post is just me and my maze of a mind spewing out random thoughts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

          Downton Abby

     So, my parents started watching Downton Abby, and because I live with them I kind of sort of totally picked it up, too. Right now I'm towards the end of season 2. Do NOT spoil it, PLEASE!! However, give me input on your opinions. I'm not sure what I think of it yet, so you could totally help me come to a conclusion about this show.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once Upon A Time

                So now thinking of tv, I'm really into Once Upon a Time. (anyone else all over it?) I was really mad when Gallivant came back and put Once Upon a Time on hold. I means Gallivant is fine, BUT don't delay the continuation of a REALLY REALLY GOOD SHOW!!! AHHH! I was so mad.... still kind of am. Please tell me I'm not the only one freaking about it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All The Amazing Books of the World

            AAAHHH!!! There are so many books I want to read!! I want to read more books by people like John Green and Rainbow Rowell. OOhhhh, I can't even explain!!! I have a list of like 100 books I want to read. It was on my phone, but then somehow it got deleted, I was soooooo sad. :'( But seriously there are so many good books around. So if anyone has any recommendations, do tell. I really like the "Harry Potter" series, "Selection" series, "Fangirl", the "Legend" series, and "The Secret Garden". And just so you know "The Secret Garden" is an oldie's book, but its still an amazing book. And I can't wait to read a book called "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" from what I know of it, it's supposedly kind of like "The Fault in Our Stars". OOHHH, so many books. So any recommendations? I'm open to mostly anything. :D

Books are special so the get this little rant gets two gifs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Selection Series

For all Selection Series fans: Maxon or Aspen?(comment below)

                So as listed above, I looove the selection series. If you haven't read it, you totally should. There are currently a total of four books, "The Selection" hence the name of the series, "The Elite", "The One", and "The Heir". Then there's also "Happily Ever After" that are like mini stories. I fell in love with the series. I can't wait for the next book to come out. X)

Just Because It's Cute

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well I hope you don't think I'm too crazy yet... ADIOS!

OMG! That sounds like soul!

Movie Review

McFarland, USA

             Okay, I'm a book worm, so of course I'm not the hugest movie fan. However, I will admit, there are plenty of amazing movies out there. One of movies I love is "McFarland, USA"

              In the movie the White family moves to McFarland for Jim White's, the father, work. Jim is a P.E. teacher at a predominantly Latino high school. Mr. White learns that there are many differences needed to be work out. When he learns of the running skills with in the school, he is determined to start a cross country team. With a bit of work a team eventually comes together. And with ups and downs along with a few twists and turns, the team finds themselves in the champions.

                I you ever watch this amazing movie I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It's an amazing story and some good lessons can be learned. And it's not just the main story I just explained, there are parts of the movie of how the family readjusts to this new environment, and such.

Gift of a Life Time

      One of my favorite gifts was and still is a Japanese water color set. If you don't know I looove art. I wasn't expecting it at all, and haven't even asked for it. But it wad still amazing. I got it from my grandparents for my birthday. I couldn't wait until I could use it. However, of course it takes time a practice to do, but I was willing to wait.

Why was that picture so hard to find for me? I don't know. It's like, really google, you couldn't have had this picture on one of the first pages?

Debate Topic- What Ya think

      So we're doing a debate in my class. My debate topic is whether bullies should be held legally responsible if their victim commits suicide and/or dies. Some people think that the bullies shouldn't be held responsible, because they can't control if the victim commits suicide. If the victim dies that is their choice. But there are plenty of people that think differently. Some think that the bully drove the victim to suicide. That the bully continuously told them to die.

What do you think? Any comments will help our debate, leave comments below.

True Art...

Quote From My Life

     Posting a quote that represents my life, but of course life's too complicated to be explained in one quote. But it's always a little easier when we have people there for us (now some people might argue that it should say family as well, but before you complain family can be your friend). I know my friends make me happy when I'm sad, and even happier when I am. They can bring joy into my life, but can also keep me inline when I loose focus.

Song Bird

Just a little bit of music freak comin' out.

My first reaction was "AAHHHH!!"......no joke.....

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays rreeaallyy early, but thats okay, right? But, honestly, its would feel more in season if there where snow on the ground, right?
