The difference between a house and a home is like the difference between a man and a woman-- it might be embarassing to explain, but it would be very unusual to get them confused.
(I've decided that the title of my posts will now be quotes from a book I bought a while ago entitled Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid by Lemony Snicket. Yes, it's called Horseradish.)
I'm BAAAAAAACK!!!!!! I had SOOOO much fun in Florida. I went to Universal 3 times, and my favorite rides are: Revenge of the Mummy, The Incredible Hulk, and The Adventures of Spiderman. We also got ExpressPlus passes, and I will NEVER be able to go without one EVER again. You get to go through a different line, and it's MUCH MUCH MUCH faster. You may be wondering, why doesn't everyone just get one? Cuz they're $39.95. Each. At least I think that's the reason. We, however, got them for FREE!!!! My Poppop went to Guest Services to complain about how they sold him an all-day drink pass instead of an all-day food pass, and they gave him the pass AND a bunch of Express passes!!!!!!! We had 11 people, so not everyone got one, but we managed. I don't think we needed one for the babies, tho. Also, when we went to Universal yesterday, I bought a prettiful necklace. ^_^
I went to Disney once, on Thursday. I LOOOOOVED the parade. They also changed the Pirates of the Carribean ride. It now stars Jack Sparrow. Er, sorry, Captain Jack Sparrow. I bought a pin that's a pretty pink sword with a ribbon wrapped around it that says, "A pirate's life for me." I also bought a little button that has Jack on it, and my 18-year-old cousin Stephanie bought one too, and I bought one for my 3-year-old cousin Grace. Steph called it her boyfriend, then Grace said, "No, it's MY boyfriend!!!" in an adorable little 3-year-old voice. Also, when she saw Cinderella's castle, she said, "That's MY house!!!" I love that baby!!!! She has the cutest smile. *wishes she could hug her right now* Ryan (her twin) wouldn't let me take him on rides. When I asked him to go on a ride with me, he said "No, my daddy will take me!!!" But I love him.
Today I went to my swim meet, again, EARLY. I came it third in backstroke!!!!! And 11th in freestyle. We lost (again). But it was still fun. My coach said he'd stay after practice some time this week to help me work on diving.
Oh, btw, there's a banner on my page that says something along the lines of, "Sometimes magic really happens" with a faerie. Please please please click on it!!! It leads you to a page to sign up with Neopets, referred by me!!! It gets me prizes. So can you please click? You'll get a cookie... ^_^ *waves cookie around*
Questions:
1. Are you gonna click?
2. Do you already have a Neopets account? (If so, make another!!! [please] XP)
Swim meet
I had a swim meet today. I had to get up EARLY!!!! VERY early... at, like, 6!!!!!! And then I didn't have time to eat anything... so the only thing I had to eat all day (until 1/2 and hour ago) was a bagel and a pixie stick. I had to warm up in the COLD pool without food tho... Actually the pool wasn't too cold... it was a little warmer than the pool I go to for practice...
OH AND GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guess who got a pretty black ribbon? Yup, ME!!!!!!!!!!! Aren't you proud? ^_^ I came in first in my heat for backstroke, but fourth in the entire event... oh well, I still got a SHINY BLACK RIBBON!!!! In freestyle I came in... either 7th or 8th. I don't remember... T.T But I came in 2nd in my heat, by only a tiny tiny bit!!!!!! I might have gotten a higher place if I could actually dive... but I can't. T.T I really really really need to work on diving. I kinda just flop in the pool, and the other kids have a good start because of their awesomely amazing diving skills...
I should be leaving for the airport in about an hour... If my parents decide to be on time for once. But my daddy can't come!!!! He has to be home in case these people call him or something... and he has meetings... I wish he could come... T.T
Okey dokey aritchokey, question time!!!
1. Do you swim on a team?
2. Or just on your own?
3. Any other sports?
4. Do you like chocolate?
5. Favorite Disney character? Disney princess? Disney villian?
Off to Disney with me!!!
Tomorrow I leave for Disney World!!! But my plane doesn't leave until 6pm. I'm s'posed to be at the airport 2 hours ahead of time(ie, 4pm), but my parents (who are ALWAYS late) probably won't end up leaving the house til 4. And it takes an hour to get to the airport.
Though, I can't wait to get to Disney World!!! I'm going to Universal, too. Last time I went there, my brother and I went on these twin roller coasters called the Dueling Dragons 4 times in, like, 20 minutes. It had just been raining/a-little-bit-hailing, so the park totally cleared out. But the rides were still operating, so we got right to the front of the lines!!! I LOVE when that happens!!! And since it kept raining off and on, so many people had left, so we got on all the roller coasters without waiting too long!!!!!! The Dueling Dragons ride, it has this castle thing that you walk through to get to the ride, and it took my brother and I longer to run through that than to actually ride the roller coaster!!! I LOVE roller coasters. They're my favorite rides!!!! We're gonna try to get my cousin(who's 8) on some roller coasters, but he won't want to. His dad always says not to make him do it if he doesn't want to, but his mom says he should get over his fears. Either way, I'm dragging him onto rides with me!!!!!! And that kid's gonna have fun whether he likes it or not!!!!!!
I also get to see my aunt, uncle, and cousins(the 8-year-old I mentioned included) who moved to Tennesee!!!!!! I haven't seen them since Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss them sooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!! There's 3-year-old twins(1 boy, 1 girl) who are just ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The boy, who's been on a plane before, tells his sister about planes(according to my aunt): "You go UP, lady gives you orange juice, and you go DOWN." Aww, so cute!!!!!
I got my nails down all pretty in this shiny purple color. I also got a flower design on my toenails. It's so pretty! I LOVE getting spa pedicures. Any of you gotten one before? You get to sit in a massage-y chair and put your feet in a bubble bath. =P
Hmm... what more can I say to waste your time...? Oh yeah!!! I wanna ask some questions like I see all the time on other people's sites. Here goes:
1. Ever been to Disney or Universal?
2. If so, favorite ride?
3. Shouldn't they have Kingdom Hearts stuff at Disney World?
4. Favorite type of ride? (ie, roller coaster, etc.)
5. Um... I'm hungry. I'm gonna go fix my dinner. (Ok, so it's not exactly a question...) Comments (1) |

And... I'm back!!!
Yeah, I know you all missed me... right? You missed me, right...? Eh, jk. Anyways, I read this book called "The Secret." It's really awesome. It's about the secret to life. I really recommend that you pick up a copy and read it. There's also a movie (which I haven't seen) by the same title about the same thing and by the same people. It might be on YouTube...? But anyways it's pretty neat. From the inside summary:
"Fragments of a Great Secret have been found in the oral traditions, in literature, in religions and philosophies throughout the centuries. For the first time, all the pieces of The Secret come together in an incredible revelation that will be life-transforming for all who experiance it.
In this book, you'll learn how to use The Secret in every aspect of your life-- money, health, relationships, happiness, and in every interaction you have in the world. You'll begin to understand the hidden, untapped power that's within you, and this revelation can bring joy to every aspect of your life.
The Secret contains wisdom from modern-day teachers -- men and women who have used it to achieve health, wealth, and happiness. By applying the knowledge of The Secret, they bring to light compelling stories of eradicating disease, acquring massive wealth, overcoming obstacles, and achieving what many would reagard as impossible."
Sounds pretty neat, huh?
I have a swim meet tomorrow... I don't really feel like going... T.T I'm so sleepy right now. It's 10:44 pm right now and I should probably be going to sleep but instead I'm sitting on my bed with the laptop on my pillow typing these very words. Have you ever been so sleepy that you feel really hyper...? Well, yeah. That's how I feel... T.T
I got this book for my brother for his birthday called "Maximum Ride" that my friend (you know who you are) told me was really good. He finished it, loved it, and now I'm reading it. It's awesome!!! It's about these 6 kids who are 98% human and 2% bird. And they can FLY!!!! They have WINGS!!!! From the back of this book:
"Do not put this book down. I'm dead serious-- your life could depend on it. I'm risking everything by telling you-- but you need to know.
-Max
Her full name is Maximum Ride.
She's 98% human, 2% bird. And the girl can fly.
Max's Missions:
-Protect the rest of her gang-- Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, and Angel-- from a pack of half-wolf, half-human mutants with a taste for flying humans.
-Rescue Angel from a crew of wack-job scientists.
-Infiltrate a secret facility to track down their missing parents.
-Figure out what she really thinks about Fang.
-Get revenge on the one person she thought she could trust.
-Discover the best chocolate-chip cookies in New York City.
-Save the whole world, for crying out loud.
Not neccassarily in that order, of course."
Doesn't it sound awesome? Cuz it is.
Sorry you had to waste your time reading this whole thing. I'm sorry!!! *acts all Ritsu-ish*
I'm leaving!!!
I'm leaving in about... 2 seconds. My parents are yelling at me to get in the car right now! ^_^" So, just wanted to say buh-bye!!! So, buh-bye!!! (wish I could bring the laptop...) Comments (1) |

School's like a lollipop: It sucks until it's gone.
Today was my last day of 8th grade!!! All we did all day was sign yearbooks, with lunch at 9:30. 9:30!!! We had a half day and got out at 11:45, so we had a way early lunch. I had lots of fun, but when the day (still in the morning!!!) was coming to a close, I started to feel sad. Today was the last day me and all my friends will be in the same school all together!!! It was the last time we all ate lunch together!!! Most of them are going to the public school, but one girl is going to a science and math school, and I'm going to a private school. It was really depressing when I thought about it for a while!!! I mean, that could be the very last time we were all together at the same time!!!!! Jeez, I'm just depressing myself even more... I suppose we could always just plan something together.
One of my friends (Myst-chan!!!) and I agreed to meet each other in Barnes & Noble sometime this week. I want to buy more manga, but I really want to save my money for my vacation to Disney World in a few weeks too...
Tommorrow I'm going to the beach!!!! I'll be staying until Tuesday night (probably) so I most likely won't be able to get on until Wednesday.
I CAN'T WAIT TO GO TO FLORIDA IN... is it... a week? *checks calendar* Yeah, a week and a day!!!!!!! I get to see my twin baby cousins, their big brother, and my aunt and uncle!!!! Here are the people coming(using initials!!!):
1. Me
2. My brother J
3. My Mom
4. My Dad
5. My Mommom
6. My Poppop
7. My Aunt C
8. My Uncle D
9. My cousins R & G (3-year-old twins)
10. My cousin N (8 years old)
11. My cousin S (18 years old)
Wow... 12 people... It's gonna be sooooo much FUN!!!!!!!!!!! Hmmm... Ya know, they should have Kingdom Hearts stuff at Disney World... Like, people who dress up as Sora, Riku, Kairi, Organization XIII, Namine, etc. Ooh, and Mickey, Donald, and Goofy in their KH outfits(lol)!!! ^_^ Hmmm.... *contemplates cosplaying* Well... I wouldn't want to dress up as an Org XIII member, the long black coat would melt me in Florida in June!!!! ^_^" Meh, I probably won't cosplay. It WOULD be fun tho... =D
...
I had swim team practice today. I had to swim 20 50's... (to those of you who don't know what a 50 is, it's two laps of the length of the pool, since each lap is 25 feet). But I had fun!!! ^_^ Oh, and I get to go to Don Pablo's for a field trip on Wednesday, and the next day I'm going to a dinner theater to see "Fiddler on the Roof" with chorus. Orchestra and band got to go to Hershey Park...
On Friday is the 8th grade dance!!! I got a pretty dress, but my mom says I can't have it until I clean out my desk... (easier said than done... ^_^'). My desk is really cluttered, and the shelves are piled with books and stuff...
Oh, by the way... *pokes link that was just added to my profile* Click? :D Comments (1) |

Yay!!!
Today I went to Washington DC. It was fun!!! I saw the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the White House. I also saw a HUGE wedding cake and a mailbox painted to look like R2D2. :P
At the Lincoln Memorial, it had Lincoln's speeches carved on the wall, and one of them said something like how the people of the future will not remember what was said there, and look at it now!!! It's carved into a building.
At the Washington Monument, if you stand right next to it and look straight up, it's soooo creepy, cuz it looks like it's moving... and it's REEEEEEEEEALLY tall...
The White House is pretty...
I had to walk a LOT. My feet hurt... but I did get Starbucks!!!
The difference between a house and a home is like the difference between a man and a woman-- it might be embarassing to explain, but it would be very unusual to get them confused. 
Swim meet 
Off to Disney with me!!! 
I'm leaving!!!
