Meep meep.
It's a beautiful, sunny day, just like the last three days. And it's Saturday.

Hurrah.

People in the north are so lucky; they get snow just about every year, and here we scarcely get even an inch of snow! ><
The best snow we ever had was on Feruary 13-14 of 2004. I'll NEVER forget it! That was actually the first time that we were able to have snowball fights, make snow angels, and make a really big snowman! Unfortunetly, all the snow melted later that afternoon. ><

Oh well, we still have the memories of it all.

I'm pretty bored as of the moment, but I look foward to this Spring Break, and I can play on the Gamecube and PS2 all I want. :D

I really miss playing Strutter on Guitar Heroes II. :(

Why does it seem that everything is moving so slowly now? Bummer.

I HOPE something good happens. <_<

And like I said, nothing much is really happening right now.

Add in--Oh! By, the way, I happened to view the next chapter of the online manga, and I must say that I'm afraid of the outcome! One of them is gone forever; Orochimaru or Sasuke? I can't wait, but I also dread, on finding out. If Sasuke dies...what kind of story will this change into?!

Anyway, here's the next Fun with Akatsuki episode (I really love these things.) :P

Hello!
Well, next week, it is official: SPRING BREAK!!!

My brother went to UIL for the first time in his life today, and he told me that he enjoyed it and had lots of fun. I told him so. ^_^

I had a pretty good day today.

In Art, I worked more on my fruit picture.

In Tennis, surprisingly, we didn't have class today, because there were competetions on our courts, but we got to watch them. :D

In Science, we went to the PC Lab. When I went on Wikipedia, she asked me a little bit about Naruto and my favorite character (I felt kind of embarresred and really, REALLy shy. I really do like MRs. Eubanks, though.) ^_^

In Pre-Algebra we did clickers. Our team won, but I didn't do anything. :P

At lunch, we were all given free ice cream (yay!) and we had a limbo and hula-hoop competetion in the cafeteria. :D

In English, we went to the MAC Lab and did SLEEK.

In Computer Lit. we finished up our timelines.

In American History, we went to the library and did more research on our projects.

I had a pretty satisfying day, while looking foward for Spring Break. Yay!

And a very, very random picure today.



And I wanted to put this on - Fun with Akatsuki. If you've already seen it; that's fine. I wanted to put it up, because I've been thinking about these videos all week!

UIL!
Today, I went to UIL, for the third time in my life.

As it always is, it's awesome, and it was a BEAUTIFUL, warm day today! ^_^

Ahhhhhh! Now, my brother will be able to go tommorow and try out all the things I told him about!

First, as usual, the principle and teachers called out roll for the people who were definetly going to UIL (including me :P) and gave us nametags (I've still got mine on, right now) and tell us to do our best, have fun, and represent our school well.

The place where we compete is an old-fashioned Baptist camp--so you have to find fun in your own way. Fortunetly, most of us know how to do this; interact with friends and other people, walk around the beautiful, green fields, play soccer, play basketball, play football, play ping-pong (if you have money; I never bring my money anywhere except in stores when I really want to get something). You can climb trees, or just stay in the buildings and listen to music and play video games.

First, I had Social Studies, the very first class they took. ><
Well, it was nice, being inside a cool building, but I've always thought that they should refurnish the inside of the cabins; they look too dull. The test was actually pretty hard, but I got 12th place, fortunetly. When we got back, I old my American History teacher, and she was very proud. ^_^

Will got first, though. Yay Will for getting first place for our school! ^_^

After Social Studies, I borrowed Kirby's CD player and listened to Naruto music (she knows how much I love listening to GO!!! and Wind, my two favorite Naruto songs) :P

Then, I began straving to death. I almost always eat breakfast at 5:30 in the morning, so you can imagine being hungry at 11:05 am...><

I had TWO servings! TWO! That's never happened before--I never eat two helpings, so, you can see how desperate I was. Stomach growling, and all that. I had about six or seven of those nice soft, small, warm square rolls or buns (whatever you call them), a piece of fried chicken, green beans, sunflower seeds, two small pieces of cake, and since they didn't have water, and I'm NEVER going to drink sodas, I got myself a cup of orange juice. All of that total. I got a small stomach ache from all of that (serves me right) and I'm not going to eat for the rest of the day!

It was really sunny--And HOT! I kept on going in the main building every so now and then to get cool, and I drank a bit from the water fountains there. While I cooled down in the main building, I thought, as I usually do when I have nothing to do, and paced all around the builiding, because I didn't feel like keeping still. I got to play on the piano too! :D
When I played my dad's favorite song about three times, three girls walked to me and told me how good how played and asked if I had taken lessons, and I said that I did when I was seven until 2005, when my piano teacher retired (actually, I should have said that she moved to Virginia, but it was close enough; I forgot at the last moment)
It shows, they said.

Tee hee! :D

So, it was nice to walk around in the sunshine and make my own fantasies. As for what they were, I won't ever tell you; its a secret that only I and I will keep to myself. XD

Anyway, when we left, I almost took a nap, if it weren't for the fact that I forced myself awake. That food was gooooooood! :D
I like being drowsy like that.

We got back in time for 8th period (aw!) and my American History class was in the library, so I went there, of course. They asked me how I did, and I told them that placed 12th, and they congratulated me. I spent the rest of the time reading books for my Social Studies project.

I still feel sleepy now, but I'm happy.



A little late to say this, but let's make 2007 a good year, okay?

Tommorow, tommorow!
Tommorow is UIL Day!
Which means, other UIL participants and I get to miss school for an entire day to compete against other schools in the county; it's practically a field trip! ^_^

Still, this has been a pretty boring week. There's not a lot to talk about, really.

To just put up something completely random, I have a list of movies that I want to see this summer in theaters:

* Pirates of the Carribean 3
* Naruto the Movie (if possible)
* Ratatouille
* Shrek 3

I think that's it. But, next year, the second Narnia movie, Prince Caspian, will be in theaters! (I heard that it would be in 2008 or somewhere around there...)

I'm still bored. And I feel lonely, 'cept Kirby checks my site every so often in the days.

(Most of the time, though, I feel like I'm writing mostly to myself.)

I made Naruto gingerbread cookies today! Unfortunetly, they are not edible. So no treats. I just drew them.

In Art, we rviewed for UIL, although it was mostly for the UIL Art participants.

In Tennis, we played Around the World.

In Science, we took notes

In Pre-Algebra, gasp, I made another 100! Is it me, or is Pre-Algebra easier for me than 7th grade Math? O_o

That is SO wrong!

In English, we had a presentation for our Holocaust child. I found out that my child, Samuel Hillen, is still alive and did not perish.

In Computer Lit. we worked on our timelines on the computer

In American History, we went to the MAC lab and researched for our projects.

I have decided: My favorite American Revolutionary hero is the Marquis de Lafayette. I'm quite impressed by his military career, and his loyalty to George Washington.

Nothing else to put. Later. ^_^

Chik chiky boom, chik chiky boom, chik chiky BOOM!
I'm listening to the Akatsuki singing Cuban Pete:

They call me Cuban Pete,
I'm the king of the rumba beat
When I play the maracas I go chik chiky boom, chik chiky boom.

Yes sir, I'm Cuban Pete
I'm the craze of my native street
When I start to dance, everything goes: chik chiky boom, chik chiky boom.

The senoritas they sing and they sing with their terampero
It's very nice, so full of spice!
And when they dance in, they bring a happy ring -that 'era keros'
Singing a song, all the day long!

So if you like the beat, take a lesson from Cuban Pete, and I'll teach you to chik chiky boom, chik chiky boom, chik chiky boom.

He's a really modest guy, although he's the hottest guy, in Havana, in Havana.
Si, senorita I know that you would like a chiky-boom-chik
It's very nice, so full of spice! I'll place my hand on your hip, and if you will just give me your hand, then we shall try
Just you and I
Ai-yi-yi!

If you like the beat, take a lesson from Cuban Pete
And I'll teach you to chik chiky boom, chik chiky boom, chik chiky BOOM!

Close enough. ^_^
Anyway, I'm just two days away from UIL...TWO DAYS! O_O

I hope I can make it.

I didn't have a lot of homework...we had an orthodontist appointment today, and I turned in my Am. History foldable just when my dad came to pick me up. :P

Not much happened today worth telling really, except that I had substitutes in two of my classes.

Teachers, where ARE you?!



Naruto's having a fit again, and Gaara and Kakashi just can't solve his problem!



Ohhhh! Haku, my favorite villain (even though he isn't evil) ^_^
He looks like a girl in that picture...but then again, Haku ALWAYS looks like a girl! :D



And Team Kakashi, the young group that was split by tragedy...

   Knock knock? Who's there? Your worst nightmare! j/k ^_^
Sheesh, I've got the Naruto Movie 3 preview stuck in my head. O_o

I can't help it! That preview is AWESOME! *cries*
I can't wait till it's out; I'm going to see it automatically! ^_^

There's nothing at all wrong with the Japanese version of Naruto; it's just that I'm most used to hearing the English voices, is all, so that's why I like the English version best.
But I can see why people would people would like the Japanese version best: The original version of things are always best. That's just something you can't argue with.

If I saw like, um, the Spanish version of Bionicle: Mask of Light...well, it wouldn't be as good in the Spanish version than in the original English version, now would it?

I don't care though; English or Japanese, I wanna see the third movie! Kakashi is back and also--Rock Lee! WHOO! Go Konoha's Handsome Blue Devil! Go Copy Ninja! Go Number One Hyperactive Knucklehead Ninja! Go Fiery Kunoichi! Yay!

In Art--Gasp! A substitute AGAIN?!! We just did the fruit drawing...things. I'm making an apple. Orange would be WAY too easy.

In Tennis--I played against Kirby, once again, and she won. You'd think the way she was acting she were Gai/Guy and I were Kakashi or something. <_<

At least, that's what I told her. :P

In Science, we worked in our Science booklets.I finished, thankfully.

In Pre-Algebra, I made a 97 on my homework (yay!) and we did a worksheet on the stem and leaf plot, and bar graphs.

In Homeroom--I read out of my Bionicle Encyclopedia (I love that book!) :P

In English--We read a bit more descriptive piece on Anne Frank's last days. I gave my copy of I Have Lived A Thousand Years back to Mrs. Holland, because she was running short on copies and asked me if she could use mine for tommorow, and that she would keep my place. Now isn't that nice of her? ^_^

In Computer Lit.--Easy. We had to cut out and paste the most easiest time line we had ever done. Unfortunetly, I had to finish mine for homework because I spent part of my time reading through the directions and Interactivity, like the teacher told us to.

In American History--We worked on Vocab. cards. Nothing else.

It was also Mrs. T's (the PC Computer Lab teacher) 49th birthday! Mrs. T is always very nice to me, so happy birthday! ^_^

PICIES! I've got pictures! BIG cute picies! :D



Even though I'm not a Gaara fan-girl, even I have to admit that this is one sweet picture. ^_^



And this one. ^_^



Awwwwwww! Lookie! ^_^

Just one more for now...



I absolutely love this picture of Kakashi when he's a kid; it's so sad to me, yet sweet. ^_^

Bye for now!

Heeeeeeeeeeeee're's Hahli!
Allo again.

I watched episode 77 of Naruto in English which they showed yesterday on Toonami, on YouTube. :P

Slowly but surely, they're making progress. I think there should be more marathons, though, to make it go faster.

Anyway, we went to church today and at 7:00 PM, we'll be watching a message from Joel Obsteen that we probably watched on Friday (by 'we' I mean my mom and me).

Yesterday, we went to KOHLS, Belk, Best Buy and Books A Million. At Best Buy, we saw the same guy we met the last time we were at Best Buy, and he talked to us about Kingdom Hearts and he gave me a couple of tips (thanks, dude!)

Anyway, I was beginning to fade of topics to share, but now I finally have one! I'm going to tell you how I started watching Naruto!

*music swells*

It was long ago, in late August/early Septemeber 2006 that it all began...

Kirby wouldn't shut up about Naruto, for the billionth time, and I was just about to get ticked off. All the time, it was "Naruto this," and "Naruto that." I even told her that I don't talk as much about Bionicle as she does Naruto!

Sheesh!

Finally, I was just about to burst. I decided that to make her finally shut up about it was to watch the show myself. So, since we didn't have Internet then, I watched at 8:00 PM in parents' room on CartoonNetwork(and thank goodness they weren't sleeping there!) I'll always remember the very first episode of Naruto I ever saw: Episode 2: My name is Konohamaru!

The story, suprisingly, was internesting, to say in the least. It was kind of funny too, the way Naruto got beaten up all the time, and Konohamaru didn't. (I hated Ebisu, though, and I still do!) When it was over, I thought to myself, "Hmmm...that wasn't so bad, after all!"

I told Kirby the next day that I had finally watched Naruto, and she seemed pleased. That night, I watched the third Naruto episode on CartoonNetwork. Why?

Things were getting interesting.

Now I think I should add this part here: Why do I like Kakashi so much that I've become a fangirl? First off: I've NEVER had a favorite male character in any series until then. It was always girl, girl, girl; female, female, female. What broke up my tradition here? You'd think I'd just fall for his cool voice and fall over like a screaming fan-girl, right?

Heh heh heh...WRONG!!!

Actually, the very first time I saw Kakashi, in the third episode, I thought: "Huh?! Who the heck are you?!" You see, up until then, I had no knowledge of any other characters besides Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke. One time, I had heard Kirby explain to me that "Naruto likes Sakura, who hates him and loves Sasuke, who hates both of them." A weird triangle there. That's all I knew about Naruto then.

Now, this is going to sound funny and stupid, but the first time I saw Kakashi and the other Jounin, when they were gathered around with the Thid Hokage, glancing at the crystal ball, I thought (and I didn't know anything about Naruto then) I thought they were a band of bounty hunters or robbers or something that were after Naruto. Stupid, right? Still, even then, there was just something that I just liked about Kakashi, even if I couldn't put my finger on it, and it certainly wasn't his looks.

That Saturday, I gained important knowledge: Kakashi was actually Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke's TEACHER!!! *gasp* O_O

I almost fainted with shock. And here I thought Kakashi was after Naruto, when it turns out that he's their teacher and is one of the major characters! I learned this in the episode of the Chunin preliminary for the third exam, when Kakashi warned Sasuke not to use his Sharingan eye.

Awesomeness.

Then I started borrowing mangas from Kirby, so that I could quickly catch up to the point of what I knew what was going on, and discovered more about the characters. I learned about Iruka and Naruto's relationship, a bit more about Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura, Kakashi and so on.

I finally found out what I liked about Kakashi the most: his emphasis on teamwork. See, that's how I grew to like Bionicle; the Three Virtues: Unity (working together), Duty (doing your job), and Destiny (what your purpose is), and I valued Unity the most of the three, so I was quite elated when I found out that this seemingly dark, silver-haired ninja teacher valued it as well, even as I found out that he had gotten this from his friend, Obito. Such a sad story, yet I love it so much! ^_^

Anyway, that's pretty much how I got to liking Naruto. So sue me if I love Kakashi; that's my own fault and I'm not ashamed.

So...there.



Whoo hoo! My first picture! Now I know how it works! Thanks Kirby! ^_^

Right now I'm listening to Soley-Soley, so bye!

Oldies ROCK!

Yawn...
O_O

!

It...can't be!

But it is! It's true!

They really are going to PUT THE FIRST NARUTO MOVIE HERE IN AMERICA IN THE SUMMER!!!!

*faints*

I'm so excited!

But...I'm probably not going to see it because of *points at parents*
Unless I devise a sort of master plan. And if the movie doesn't show up in our local movie theaters, then phooie! They better...or ELSE.

Anyway, we went into town today, my dad, my brother, and I. Nothing else really happened.

Oh, yeah. UIL's this week. YES! No school for a whole day!

I found a whole bunch of Naruto pictures yesterday and today. AWESOMENESS! ^_^

Well...bye.

   Wahoo!
Hee hee.

I'm watching the Akatsuki Safari on Saiyanisland right now. Too...funny! :P
I love it!

I had an awesome day at school today. Pretty boring, but I made so many A's. :D

Not joking.

For one thing, in Pre-Algebra, I found out I made a 100 on my project (YES! I really need to thank my dad, because he helped me out. ^_^) and I made a 100 on the test yesterday for Pre-Algebra. I was sure I was going to make a B or C on that test, because when my teacher came to me and told me my grade, I was like: O_O

"Oooookay. You talking to me? Seriously?" O_O

A miracle. *angelic chior plays*

And I made a 100% on SLEEK today for Pre-Algebra in the computer lab. That's the first! *hugs computer* ^_^

For the Science sleek, I think I made the highest: 88.2%
I heard kids say: "Ooh! I got an 82!"

"I got a 85!"

My Science teacher recorded my grade and said I did a good job. *blushes*

Last year, I HATED 7th grade, because Science was hard for me and I was afraid of my math teacher, so I'm surprised that I'm doing so well this year!

I still don't have many friends, though. Only on BZPower, and Kirby, and Scorch, and some of my brother's friends.

*Sigh*

On the bright side, I have Internet again, and for that, I am grateful! ^_^

I watched Naruto Shippuuden 4 today (For Kakashi to have lost just because of a story and the evils of spoilers...?! Masashi Kishimoto is, without a doubt, a genius) But still...*hugs Kakashi* It's alright, Kakashi, you can read your book now! ^_^

...

So I'm a Kakashi fan-girl! You can't make me not love him! Stop looking at me like that! :P

Anyway, in English we had a test today, which I know I'm going to pass, even if I make a C. :P

In Computer Lit. I'm beginning to catch up on the TechConnect lessons. For some reason, I always like typing lessons. Very much, in fact. They're fun and challenging to me.

In American History, we had a test today, which was just as easy and I know I passed it. I have this natural skill, when it comes to History; I just memorize the review, and when the questions come, the right answers just instantly pop up in my head, for some reason!

It doesn't make me a nerd, though. <_<
I'm just very smart. I'll admit, I goof off a bit on BZPower, but I don't want to be obnoxious or anything, so I'm trying to keep my biggest jokes in the Comedies forum. ^_^

It doesn't mean I won't pull up a wisecrack now and then, though, and I'm still just as friendly there. BZPower is surely one of my most favorite sites to spend my time on. I've got a lot of others, too. ^_^

I'm watching you...*glares*
Yo. Allo.

How do you do?

I'm fine, thank you.

Take your time, there's no rush.

...Yeah. Being totally random here.

Right at this very moment, I'm watching Naruto episode 19 on Toonami Jetstream (I'm not sure if I mentioned this already, but I prefer the English version of Naruto over the Japanese version...don't ask, I just do). Anyway, when I read this part in the manga...I was near tears (it was so touching!) But when I saw the actual episode (in English), I cried. So..sweet and emotional. A sweet and sad ending to a magnificant arc. That's why I love the Land of Waves arc and the Survival Test episodes the best. :D

Anyway, it was a pretty boring day today...

In Art, we finished, or at least tried to finish our fish pictures, and there is absolutely NO way I'm entering my dumb picture in the contest...even if the reward is a scholarship.

The only thing I've ever won at a contest was at the orthodontist swimming party, when I actually won a cool DVD player (and it still runs like a charm! :D) out of sheer luck. But I'm good at Rock, Paper, Scissors, and Connect Four. I LOVE Connect Four! :D

In Tennis, we did Winner, and may I just add that it was a blustery day today? The winners of the courts would drive back to the campus riding in one of the coaches' car, while the rest of us would have to run back there; it didn't matter to me either way, I love running in windy days, which is just what I did!

In Science, we watched a Bill Nye video about Energy. I love watching Bill Nye episodes. :P

In Pre-Algebra, we took a quiz today, and I think I did well on it.

I went to the library again today; I almost usually spend my time in the library during homeroom. Today, I got two books that I enjoy reading over and over again: The Ghost of Fossil Glen, which we read in 6th grade, and The Hork-Bajir Chronicles, part of the Animorphs series. I like reading Animorphs as well, but I hated the ending of the series. It was like a cliff-hanger, and it really disappointed me.

In English, we reviewed for our test tommorow, and our teacher asked us a few questions. What we've discussed today, was that if Anne Frank HAD survived in the concentration camps, do you think her point of view on the world would be changed. To be a bit more specific, her line of, "Despite of what is happening, I truly believe people are really good at heart."

Sadly, I'm afraid I have to disagree with that phrase. You see, we all know we live in a terrible, cruel world. When World War II began; it wasn't just the Jews the Nazis were trying to annhiliate...it was the handicapped, and 'half-Germans' and others they were trying to get rid of. Fortunetly, from what I've read, there WERE a few German Nazi officers that were reluctant to destory these people and sympathetic, and were rather soft toward them, and perhaps the German citizens who were living normal, every-day lives did not know what was happening to their Jewish neighbors. Maybe they heard, but they did not know exactly what was going on until the last minute.

What forced me to say no was what I remembered what I read from I Have Lived A Thousand Years--They were treated even less than abused slaves!!! Stipped naked and put into gas chambors and starving to death...*shudders*

I don't think all the Nazis were bad though, like the sympathetic ones who were just forced into this situation. Only...the ones like Hitler, who hated.

That's all I've got to say about that.

In Computer Lit. I we did our stocksmarket thing (I think I'm making a bit of progress! :D)

In American History, we graded our reviews, and I made a 96! :D
Tests tommorow for English and Am. History.

And one more thing:

GO HAHLI AND KAKASHI! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!

Hee hee! :D
