Slaves and Studying

Last night was so much fun!!!!!!!

I had to skip dance, which was definitely NOT (I had to study), but I got to go with my parents to band practice for our church. After I studied, guess what I did? I PLAYED WITH THE LITTLE KIDS!! My favorite thing to do EVER! (Not really, but close.) That is so much fun, let me tell ya. Two nine year old boys and two seven year old girls.

Wow. It's weird thinking about how old they are now...I've known Ryan and Maddie since they were three and one, and Abby and Jarrod since they were four and six. THEY'RE SO BIG NOW!! I feel all...old or something, lol! Anyway.

We played--you'll NEVER GUESS--slaves.

YES, SLAVES! To some of you, you're like, "Oh, the big deal is that they played slaves. Okay. Got it." But the people who have known me since I was little know that it's a big deal because THAT'S WHAT MY FRIENDS AND I USED TO PLAY/DO, TOO. It felt so strange to be playing it again. Weirder than you can imagine. Like stepping back five or six years.

It was also weird because Ryan was a lot stronger than I remembered him being. In like two years or so, he's gonna be able to take me out. Which is weird, because I'm not exactly WEAK OR SOMETHING, and he's only NINE. And he's not, like, fat or anything (lols). So that was weird, because the first time me and Abby and Maddie tried to "escape" (we were the slaves, Ryan and Jarrod were the owners), I figured I would let the boys catch me, and then after a while, I'd just push them off of me and run away for real.

Only I tried and Ryan caught me by surprise, and then I was on the floor, blinking. Huh? Lol! It was hilarious. I was like "Wow, you are a lot stronger than I remembered." Of course, then I got up and outran him in like six steps and was ready for him the next time, but it was harder to get away than I expected. So yeah. It was just weird.

And now I'm thinking this has to be at least ONE OF the weirdest posts I've ever written. *shrug* I know it's weird that I like playing with little kids, and it's even weirder than we play SLAVES, but, hey, that's just me :) And it was really fun. You should try it sometime ;)

Also today, I saw someone I hadn't really seen in a long time. It was awesome. Not going to say more, but I think I already have in a post...let me find it...ah, here it is: http://puelladei.blogspot.com/2009/01/randomness-at-its-best.html Read that. And the comments. It explains it a little.

Studying went okay today. Physical science, not so great, American Government and memorizing my poem to say for the class are both going GREATLY!! So, I guess two and a half out of three isn't bad. Not bad at all.

"Mirror" still sucks, but I think I'm coming out of writer's block. Maybe. I started writing some of the sequel, and it's at least getting me out of the rut. The only problem is, I have such GREAT IDEAS for the sequel, and for the next generation, but I really, really, REALLY didn't want this to turn into a series. I really wanted to write ONE BOOK, and then just be DONE. But noooooooooooo. My characters have to keep having KIDS in my mind and cool stuff like that. And so much more. *moan*

Over all, it's been a KILLER two days. Despite exams. Who woulda thought, huh? Guess you never know. Carpe diem :)

My Speech! (And more on DV)

Today was seven-minute-to-be-said-from-memory speech day. Guess what?

OH YEAH! OH YEAH! WHO DID THE WHOLE SPEECH WITH NO HELPS? WHO PUT EMOTION AND EMPHASIS IN IT? MEEEEEEE!!! Lol! Not trying to brag, I'm just happy. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought.

Class was almost canceled for "winter weather." Psh. Riiiight. We got absolutely NOTHING at my house. Although, granted, in the city area where class meets, there was some decent snow. I'm glad we didn't cancel though. I actually like class. Not school. Class. Big difference, lol! (Although I do have like three favorite subjects, haha!)

Hopefully we will be watching "Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi" tonight. (At least I think it's "Return of the Jedi...") Gosh, I hope we are!! Lol, I feel like a serious nerd :) I can't help it, though. I am such a sucker for good villains. Darth Vador is way at the top of my "Awesome Bad Guys" list :) For some reason I always like the villains best. At least usually. I don't know why...I'm just weird ;)

Well, I've had this throbbing sinus headache all day, so I better go before the computer brings it back :( Ttyl!

Not A Whole Lot of News...

Remember that speech I was preparing for a week or two ago? Well, tomorrow is the big day...seven minutes of a book memorized. I actually did it. Now I just hope I can KEEP it until after tomorrow...*crosses fingers*

Haven't heard back from the Eragon website people. I hope I wasn't too late applying...I applied almost two whole weeks after the post about the jobs was put up. Do you think I missed it? Hmmm...

I'm writing "Creepy Story" right now, and it's going better than I expected. I haven't given up on the other two, least of all COJ, but I'm focusing on Creepy for now. I have the most ideas for it.

That idea with the names Cosa and Degan was back last night, and altered a little. I had to think it over again. The plot still sucks, but less than two nights ago. Maybe if it keeps waking me up it'll eventually be worth putting on paper :)

P.S. Omg! It totally just occured to be that it's February! Scary! January is over. Wow. It went by kind of fast...My birthday is in five days :D I wonder if I'll miss being fourteen. It's been my favorite age so far. Oh well. Fifteen will be even better!!

P.P.S. That post I put last night is my favorite. I don't know why, but I liked that one a lot.

P.P.P.S. Do you know what "P.S." stands for? It stands for Post Script. Just thought I'd let ya know :)
