So, this is a really late Valentines day post, but I was super busy.
First off, who here thinks we should get Valentines day off? I do. It's a holiday, right? That doesn't mean I like the day, but still...Here's my deal with Valentines day-
Back in elementary school, I LOVED Valentines day. I mean, you get out of school work, do cheesy crafts and got candy! Par-tay! In middle school we had no parties. Not in high school either. So, I didn't any candy this year, and while I was in Geometry (my class right before lunch) I got to see all these "popular" people who have loads of friends eating their chocolate and candy. Mostly, they were the student council members or the people really involved in school. It was torture. I have a BIG sweet tooth. Chocolate is probably the best present you can give me. So I really don't like Valentines day. I mean, it's great if you have a boyfriend/girlfriend and all, but me? I don't even talk to boys. I don't even have a social life. Honestly. This (writing/reading fanfiction) is my social life. It's quite sad. But I do like it this way. I think people are annoying. And girls? I don't understand them.
So my friend, Jenny likes this one guy, and I mean really liked him, and he showed that he liked her too.
Then he got himself a girlfriend, Erin. Jenny hates Erin. And even I have to admit, she, Erin, can be pretty annoying. She whines a lot and complains. But still, Jenny says there are signs that he still likes her. Then, after obsessing over him for 5 months, she tells me she likes this other guy, along with the first guy. And my other friend Julie changes crushes/guys she's in love with every week. Why can't you just like the same guy for awhile! Jeez. And Jenny always brings up her "Guy/Erin Issue" and tells me I should hate Erin. I don't hate Erin. Sure she can be whiny and I might get annoyed, but hate?
Nope.
And yeah, I talk to Erin in the mornings while we wait for the bus to pick us up for school. So Jenny is kind of upset, but honestly, I don't care.
Girls are just too emotional (not all ya'lls. You guys I actually love.) But yeah, enough about my friends.
I had a crisis today where I thought I about died. I had a research paper due today on King Louis XVI, which I procrastinated on. I realized at school that I forgot to do my bibliography. At my school, you need a teacher's pass to get on the Library's computers. So, my friend Anna told me that her Biology teacher had given her class a pass to go in any time of the week to do this project. YES!!! So I went in during lunch with her and typed it up. Phew! I almost died.
Then, In English (same class I had the paper in), the Guidance Counselors came in to discuss next year's classes. I want to be a middle school reading teacher. So, I chose Honors English II A/B, Honors Algebra II, College Algebra, Honors Biology, World History, Spanish II and Psychology and Sociology. (By the way, I am currently a Freshmen). I might even be thinking about doing something that's called the I.B program.
The I.B program is a program that is only offered at one school in my district. I don't like that school. It's full of stuck up rich snobs. But...with the I.B program I can graduate high school with my associates degree. But do I really want to change to some stupid snob school? I don't do good with change. I have still the end of sophomore year to decide, so I don't know...
Enough about that though.
So, I hear Steph is trying to get a book published. Steph, if you're reading this, I am SO proud of you. I've always wanted to publish a book, but later when I'm an adult. I just want to wish you good luck with trying to get your book publsihed. I'll buy it, for sure. I love you writing style :) You must be very dedicated. I have trouble updating my fanfics. *Sigh* I AM working on My Life's What Now?!", if anyone out there cares. I am motivating myself. I have Monday off, so HOPEFULLY it might be posted then, or next weekend (not this one coming up).
I hope you all have a great week!
I will always love you!

Greeks own Romans
I have not died! Trust me!!!
I went to Prescott (in AZ) for Thanksgiving (we left that morning) and I got back a few hours ago. I love Arizona. It's amazing. It's sunny, bright, you don't get natural disasters, and it doesn't snow. Yeah, it can get hot. About 115 degrees sometimes, but it's not bad. (only in the summer, but it's usually about 110 degrees or 105) It's nice in the winter, spring and fall. You can easily cool down in the summer.
AND it is really pretty up in Prescott. It's green (at least to me) and it's cool. It was 30-50 degrees while I was there.There's a picture of the camp/one of the cabins that we were at. It was my family, and 3 others. Total of about 24 people. We all know each other though, and it was like a big reunion. The camp's called UCYC. (United Christian Youth Camp) it was deserted and we got to use upper camp :)
But anyways. I just read a PJO fanfic called "I'll tell you later" by HiddenWorldWalker. It's about the "I'll tell you laters" Percy told Frank and Hazel in SoN.
It just reminded me about how Greeks own Romans's butts!!! You heard it in SoN! Greeks still had that one empire that started with a "B" when the Roman Empire fell!!! AND during the war, Greeks only had about 40 campers and 30 hunters, about a dozen or so Satyrs against kronos (who's more powerful than Krios) and Hyperion. AND they had to protect the mortals AND there was a city in the way AND there were TONS of ways to get on the island. Romans probably had about 200 fighters, they fought Krios (Ram horn dude, remember? he sucks?) Sure, they played offense, which might be harder, but did they have to protect mortals and did they have to watch out for buildings? NOPE!!!! Greeks win. Greeks battled 2 Titans, and a thousand monster army with less then 100 people. And protected mortals and fought around big buildings and fought drakons and that Sow/Pig that NO HERO HAS EVER BEATEN!!! Romans had over 200 people fight uphill and battle krios. bang. IN YOUR FACE!!!! Even the Romans were surprised Percy beat kronos in hand-to-hand combat.
Just thought I'd share.
And who else thinks the shipping would be totally hay-wire (or whatever it's called) if it went percy with Annabeth (duh). Leo and Hazel. Frank and Piper. Leo and Reyna. Highly wrong, and probably NEVER going to happen, but it made me laugh.
I really should be writing more, but Fanfiction is calling me. I really need to get writing on fanfiction AND my essay that I haven't even started that's due Monday.
I'm writing a fic where Percy comforts Hazel about the prophecy and how she thinks she's too young. You know, because she's 13 and Percy was told he would save the world at age 12? It's only friendship though.
Oh, and I was looking at some old photos. I was really cute when I was little :). I need to make a scrapbook or something, because they're just sitting in a box. Hey, I need an Art class to graduate, and I hate art, don't like doing things in front of large amounts (or even small amounts) of people (dance,Choir, theatre) so I might just do photography.
Until next time.

Chocolate Frosting and Graham Crackers...Mmmmmm
I barley had any homework. that's a first. My math teacher, Ms. Snyder gives lots of homework. I also don't have late start tomorrow.
For those of you who don't know what late start is, it's on Wednesdays (at least at my school) and instead of school starting at 7:30 like it usually does, it starts at 9. But here's the catch: We don't get random half days, or a lot of days off. But oh well. I'd rather be able to actually get a good night's rest one day a week. But sadly, we gots no late start tomorrow. Why, you may be asking yourself. It's all because of stupid Juniors. Literal stupid juniors. This week is AIMS (state testing things. Our's stands for Arizona Instrumental Measurement) and the juniors who failed the AIMS last year as sophomores, have to retake it and need extra hours during the school day.
Fantastic, right?
And why don't we have the day after Halloween off? Is there no compassion? Why do we have Labor day off? Martin Luther King Day? (Funny thing: When I was in, like, 2nd grade, you know how martin Luther King Jr day is abbreviates as "MLK"? I always thought it was MILK day, so i was always "Why is there a day for milk?!!!" It was that way for years...) Halloween is on the calender. That makes it important.
My mom's dressing up for Halloween. She's going in my old witch costume. My mom's small. She's 5'2 and 98 lbs. (why does "lbs" stand for "pounds"?) She's wearing a mask too. She can completely pull it off, it's gonna be funny. More candy for me and my older siblings I'm going as Cleopatra. Oh yeah.
But anyways, my friend is going as a Goth chick. My friend, Julie, claims to be emo. Which she's not. Defiantly not. She dresses WAY too preppy, and I call her a poser sometimes. Okay, I know, not the nicest thing I'll ever say. It's just that she gets on my nerves and I can't stand wannabes, like Tenille and Monet...actually, didn't Tenille leave Heather? Hmmm.
Feeling dead right now.
Really dead.
Like that Ofelia girl...
Hey! Castle was on last night! I gotta watch it tonight :) and Psych is on WEDNESDAY!!!! I have to watch it Thursday though, because I have youth group tomorrow night. Then on Friday is the final season of Chuck. Man.
My stomach just growled. I'm hungry. I could really go for some chocolate frosting and Graham crackers. Mhhhh.
I'm going to go find some good Percy Jackson Fanfics to go with my food.

Lassie is married to Amy Winehouse
We lost. 20 to 32. I'm pretty bummed, but it was nice to just go to the game. I'll admit, the Steelers are a good team. Really good. I think that's why i don't like them. They win too much. They're too popular. They remind me of the people at school who dress fancy shmancy, and do what's "in". I like underdogs. The people everyone thinks can't make it. The "losers". I actually connect popular people at school to the Steelers, and I do NOT like popular people, or people who dress to impress. I find them irritating a shallow. Okay, I know that the Steelers are a football team, and they aren't shallow and people who dress to impress, but I still connect them to popular people. My mind thinks of them as heather Acosta's or Danny Urbanski's And we know all about them. *sigh*
Anyways, I have stupid school tomorrow. Uhg. I really do not want to wake up at 5 am. I'm only getting 8 or 7 hours of sleep on the weekdays (besides Wednesdays, I have late start and get 9 hours of sleep) and I need 9-10 hours. I need my rest. And the worst part is, is that I can't sleep in anymore. I get up at 7 or 8 on Saturday. I hate my stupid routine.
Tim Burton's Corpse bride and Coraline are on tonight....I still can't believe Halloween is a week from tomorrow. My mind hasn't even processed that. I have braces, so I won't be able to eat a lot of my candy. I'm getting them off in about 5 months though :) I'll have them on for a year on November 1st. I got them on the day after Halloween. Oh, mom, you are a terrible planner.
I'm still missing Sammy Keyes. I really need to update my fanfics, but I'm just sooooooo lazy. I need Wendelin to post on her blog. Maybe she'll say something about Sammy Keyes or the new book. I need updates!!!!
I'm spacing out. I'm tired. I need sleep. I think school hours should be lessened. It's abuse to my mind. And what's up with homework on the weekends? Weekends are supposed to be days OFF of school. They're not days off if you have to bring school HOME with you. I don't think teachers get it. When i become a teacher, I won't give out much homework. Teachers who give out too much homework have way too much free time. Grading all those papers? They're either A) single with no life, or B)are married, but they're workaholics.
Too tired too move.
Who saw Psych on Wednesday? LOVED that episode. "Henry Spencer, where are your pants!?" "I'm not completely sure, Karen." I love Lassie. In my family tree I did for school, we could either make up a family with celebrities, or use our real family. I chose the celebrity family and had Lassie marry Amy Winehouse with no kids. and have my 22 year old sister marry Shawn and have me and my best friend. Ozzy Ozbourne was my grandpa, along with his real wife....
School really sucks.

Goal: Gotta Finish the Sammy Keyes and Percy jackson series no matter what!!!!
I know I'm REALLY late in talking about this, and I read the book right when it came out, but....SON OF NEPTUNE WAS AMAZING!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!! Nico?!!!! Leo/Sammy!!!???? there's too much for me to say! Rick Riordan is a GENIUS!!! And Night of Skulls came out exactly one week later. I thought I would get it that Saturday or something, because that was the estimated delivery date on Amazon, but I got it THAT evening, the day it came out. I was flipping out. I missed Cammy :')
Now I have to wait till March/May for the Power or Justice Jack, and a year for the Mark Athena. GRRRRR! I am COMPLETELY impatient when it comes to books.
Then there's the HUNGER GAMES MOVIE in March!!!! I'm being tortured!!!!
And you know what else sucks, is that if the world does end in 2012, I spent majority of my life in school. What a waste of a life, right? And, even worse, I won't be able to finish the Heroes of Olympus series or the Sammy Keyes series. I'll only read the Power of Justice Jack, maybe Sammy Keyes and the 'Waywaed Parents' (at least i might find out Sammy's dad) and the Mark of Athena. Dang it!
...not that I believe in the 2012 thing. I actually find it funny. My mom has a Mormon friend who's throwing a storage party or something, to, you know, teach and show the people how to stock up on food for win December 2012 comes, and my mom is going. Ha! She doesn't really believe in that stuff though...I think she's just going to humor herself. I'll be laughing my face off at the people who will be in the mountains because they searched for higher ground, sold their house, and spent bank on food, when 2013 comes around. It'll be great.
Anyways, my mom does daycare, and we are working/helping out at one of our kids (she's after school. she's in 1st grade) birthday parties. It has a Halloween theme and we have to dress up. I do not wanna dress up.
First off, I'm not one of those "I'm too cool to go trick-or-treating and dressing up, that's for little kids" types of people. In my opinion, those people are idiots. You go try to be cool while I get to goof off and eat candy. Ha!
Sammy keyes still trick-or-treats! I have friends whose mom said they were too old to go trick-or-treating, and they're 14 and 15. My 22 year old sister is going trick-or-treating with me and my little sister Jo. You are NEVER to old to get free candy.
Wow, that was a tangent. Anyways, like I was saying, I don't really wanna go and dress up. I'm tired. I wanna read Sammy Keyes and Percy Jackson. It makes me depressed.
And another thing, MY LIBRARY CLOSED!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Okay, maybe not permanently, but still. It's closed till, like November 7, and it's been closed already for a couple weeks. They're remodeling it. I have 0 access to Sammy Keyes! I can read PJO online (the reading the.....fanfics) but Sammy Keyes? I only have the 5th, 13th, and 14th books. I am DYING! This girl names Christina (a SK fan who has a blog called Wild Things) made we NEED to reread SK and the Sisters of Mercy and the other books. I am DYING! and i still need to finish two books and write an essay on them.
Which reminds me! I bombed me essay test thingy in English yesterday. We just finished To Kill a Mockingbird (great book by the way) and we had to find 4 quotes that showed sexism, racism, ageism, classim ect, and how the characters were affected and explain them. That was for the first 2 body paragraphs. the third one was about what 2 quotes inspired us to think about real world solutions to prejudice and discrimination. All together, it was a regular 5 paragraph essay, and we had 75 minutes.
I didn't finish. I was about 1/4 of the way through the third body paragraph when time was up. I needed time to gather me thoughts. I guess the muses weren't with me yesterday. Now, you have to understand. I am a straight A, honors kid. I have no life. I do all my school work because I feel sooooooo guilty if i don't do an assignment and i like to give 95% to everything I do, so this failure kinda depresses me. I have no social life. I hate people. they're annoying. My friends are annoying. My TRUE friends are characters in books (Leo Valdez, Percy Jackson, Sammy keyes, billy Pratt ect) I've been told I'm crazy and it's probably true. But anyways, again, I'm kinda sad.
I hope you're week was better then mine. First week back from Fall Break. I love you all!!!!
