God, the Bridge of Clay's hardback edition is breathtaking. I got the dust cover thing wet, though, because it was raining heavily while I walked home from school and it soaked through my backpack. luckily, it was only the dust cover that got wet, but now it's all crinkly. : (
My mom bought me ankle weights, because I wanted them for working out by just walking, but it turned out that they were way to big for my ankles. Ah sorry, another negative thing. Well, 'tis the truth.
However, here's something fortunate: My room is much cleaner than it was an hour ago. I still need to put all my clothing away, though.
A 5 foot Christmas tree? Lucky! Is it a real live tree, or a fake one? I wish I could have a Christmas tree this early, but my parents probably won't get one till a couple weeks before Christmas.
Razor burn sucks. I was shaving my leg in the shower a couple days ago (which is very difficult because the bath tub shower stall thing is small) and while I was drying myself off, I looked down and saw blood on my knee. aghhhhhhhh

Emily wrote: "And its a fake one"Cool! I'm never sure whether I like fake trees or real trees better for Christmas, because on one hand, real trees smell really good, and it's fun to water them daily, but on the other, they shed pine needles all the time, and it's highly likely your pet will pee on the tree.
They're super fun to have! I think my favorite part about having live Christmas trees is the smell. It's always sad to see the tree turn all brown and dead after Christmas is over, though.
I have to leave for gymnastics, so bye. : )
'tis I! I'm back from gymnastics and my 2nd Friday art walk. (I go to an art class, and once a month, there's an art show where you can either display your art or sell it.) I doubt any of my art will sell, but it's gratifying to see it displayed. I'm relatively happy right now, too, because I had a good gymnastics day.On floor, I did four backhandsprings 3 times. They were okay, but even once is good for me.
On double mini, my passes all looked really good, and I only flew backward out of my barani pike once, and it wasn't that far. (Also, there were only three of us at class, so we played Stick it and Add On.)
I only got to do trampoline for like 10 minutes because I was leaving early for my art show, but I did well, and my coach, Walter, even praised part of my routine! Yay.
I don't really mind what I'm wearing as long as it's comfortable, but I wanted to announce that I'm wearing the most fashionable white crochet (I think) poncho, tye-dye outdoor school T-shirt (a hand-me-down from my brother that I like), and knee length blue nike gym shorts. Also, my hair is pulled back by a black headband, and there's a navy hoodie tied around my waist.Very fashionable. All of it.
ughhh I think I drank too much water. I ate dinner in the car while my mom was driving me to the art center, and then I drank a ton of water from a water bottle while we stopped at a red light. Later, at the art center, I had some apple cider with water mixed in to make it less hot. Now my stomach sort of hurts. However, I managed to refrain from eating the cookies at the art center. There were some cookies on the table for people who wanted to snack while roaming around.
One fashion trend I really don't understand is ripped jeans or just ripped pants in general. What is appealing about having holes in your pants? I'm fine with a couple, but I've seen people with holes ALL OVER their pants, and I'm thinking, wowa, that's...a bit excessive.
Ikr! Also, it sounds cold. What with being outside and all. I guess they're more of a summer trend.
I have a box of 4 tissues in my closet that I was supposed to give to my 1st period teacher at the beginning of the year, but I forgot to. It's been 2 or 3 months. I should give the tissues to my teacher now, but...frankly, that would be very awkward.
True. There are plenty of boys in my school walking around in 40 to 50 degree weather wearing gym shorts.then again
I shouldn't criticize because I did the same thing today for a little while. But I usually don't do that, soooo
There are moments that the words don’t reachThere is suffering too terrible to name
You hold your child as tight as you can
And push away the unimaginable
The moments when you’re in so deep
It feels easier to just swim down
The Hamiltons move uptown
And learn to live with the unimaginable
I spend hours in the garden
I walk alone to the store
And it’s quiet uptown
I never liked the quiet before
I take the children to church on Sunday
A sign of the cross at the door
And I pray
That never used to happen before
Philip, you would like it uptown, it’s quiet uptown
You knock me out, I fall apart
Look at where we are
Look at where we started
I know I don’t deserve you, Eliza
But hear me out
That would be enough
*cries*
yup, I like the musical Hamilton.
a lot.
REALLY? Really really really? What are your favorite songs?
Mine are:you'll be back
what comes next
i know him
alexander hamilton
the story of tonight
farmer refuted
satisfied
stay alive
that would be enough
guns and ships
history has it's eyes on you
aaron burr, sir
dear theodosia
washington on your side
burn
blow us all away
stay alive
your obedient servant
it's quiet uptown
the world was wide enough
and finally, who lives, who dies, who tells your story
so, a lot.
Emily wrote: "Guns and ships is my favorie! Please tell me when he dies you cried like i did? Honestly the songs give me the chills lol"I didn't cry (I don't cry often), but it was SUPER sad! I wish I could see the musical live, but tickets are so expensive. I have a friend who went to New York to see Hamilton. I'm super jealous.
Emily wrote: "And the cabinet wars are soooo good"YES! It's really hard to pick favorites, because basically all of the songs are good.
Emily wrote: "I love movies and stuff that make me cry cause im weird"XD I do too. I think any material thing that can make a person cry is really amazing. And if you think about it, everyone is crying over dead 17th to 18th century people.
I also really like watching Hamilton animatics on youtube, and Szin and Ziksua are two of my favorite animators.
No. Is that another musical? Or is it a movie?
Okay, I will! Another musical I like is Heathers. Actually, to be more honest, I like some of the songs, but I don't like it as much as I love Hamilton. I did watch the original movie with Winona Ryder, and that, I loved.
I searched online, and it seemed like I had to pay everywhere, but...luckily, my family is subscribed to Netflix! yay. Okay, I'm going to start watching it now.
I'm not sure which one that is. I know that the one I'm watching right now starts in black and white. Is that the one? Or is it different?
Okay! Time to watch a movie and cry! Yippee. (So this is the right one? Just wondering.)
Okay, thank you for recommending this! I shall report to you what I thought of it after I finish watching it. : )
Good morning me and any other possible people who may be reading this! It's 11:10 AM where I live and I just had breakfast and emptied the dishwasher, and I am now finishing my room cleanup. I think I'll listen to some Christmas songs.
Scratch that. I'm going to watch the Phantom of the Opera while I clean my room.
I'm listening to the woman sing what I think is called "Think of Me" and really, it's spectacular. I'm getting chills.
I am your angel of music, come to me, Angel of music, ah, the music is beautiful.
I'll be gone for a bit, because I'm going to my art class and then a sleepover. Farwellthat sounded so formal
well
bye-a
Well. I'm back. I watched the Emoji Movie (hilarious for reasons it wasn't supposed to be) and some Chihuahua movie (also hilarious for reasons it wasn't supposed to be). The acting was terrible for both. I also ate some popcorn (I'm pretending I don't have braces). BUT, I'm glad I'm back. I missed my house.I know i know
I'm being extremely overdramatic, considering I was only gone for a night. lol
Emily wrote: "Best. Movie. Ever."Yup. At least, so far. I have some other favorites, but right now, this is by far my favorite musical movie.
Ooh, I really want to watch that one sometime. The only song I've heard from that is "Castle On A Cloud", and that was on youtube. It sounds fantastic.
Okay. SO. I finished the Phantom of The Opera! It was really good, but I'm a bit confused. At the end, in the black and white, who is it that puts that monkey thing on Christine's grave? Is that Christine's love interest, the one who almost get killed by the POTO?Out of ten, I'd give it...9, I think. I really really liked it, but I didn't absolutely love it. That's just because I was kinda annoyed at Christine. But everything else was amazing. Especially the music. My favorite song would have to be The Phantom of The Opera. Thank you for recommending the movie! It was awesome.
There should be a new hashtag: #didnotwakeuplikethis. You know, because there's the woke up like this hashtag, where the person usually has a ton of makeup on and only succeeded in taking that photo after taking a dozen previous ones? (No offense to these people, or anything. There's nothing wrong with selfies.)
Well, the #didnotwakeuplikethis would be a realistic take, or, to be ironic, it would be a photo of the person they had took after they had actually just woke up.
Anyway, byea people. I'm going to go draw and paint for a bit.
Okay, thanks. I thought so, but I wasn't sure.
Yeah, he does look different. Anyway, have you watched any of the studio Ghibli films? They're all amazing. And I really love the soundtracks.
I just painted one painting that I"m proud of with water color! Yippee. (I'll probably be very ashamed of it tomorrow, but I'm going to feel happy with myself while it lasts. Ah, the curse of being an artist. And a writer- whenever I write a page of something, I think, oh how lovely, then the next day I look at it and think, this looks like a 5 year old wrote this....)
They're animated, in case you're expecting a live action movie. I haven't seen all of them, but the art style is really pretty. I was planning on copy and pasting a picture below, but for some reason Goodreads is not cooperating. If you'd like to see what the art looks like, you can search "studio ghibli films" and the right images should come up.
A fact about myself for anyone who may be reading this: (14 views now, yippee) When I'm older, I'd like to be an author. I know that will be definite, but I'm going to probably need another job, unless I write a book that becomes extremely famous, which is pretty unlikely. I sort of want to be a murder detective, simply because that sounds interesting, but then again, I don't want any trauma, and that's possible. If not a murder detective, I might want to be a high school English teacher. It sounds like a tough job, from what I've heard, but I'm sure I'll manage, if I do decide to get that job.
Another fact about myself: I do not watch sports. I don't have a live television set, like some people. Instead, I have Roku, and a ton of different apps on my TV. (Or, more like, the family TV.) I occasionally watch Simone Biles or Gabby Douglas on youtube, because I love gymnastics, but besides that, I don't watch any sports. No football, soccer, basketball, etc. (To be honest, I don't even know the rules of football. Or soccer. I was taught how to play soccer by the PE teacher last year, but I've forgotten since, and she was really vague about it. Or maybe I just wasn't paying attention.)
Good morning, my friends. I'm a horrible person. It's 11:08 AM and I still have not fed my dog. Nor have I fed myself, but that's beside the point.Anyway, I'm gonna go feed him. And go to the bathroom. (xD Sorry, too much information?)
Also, I'm listening to Christmas music again! Yay.
Me when my dog Sacca has been outside for a while: Come! Sacca, come!Sacca: *ignores*
Me: COME SACCA COME
Sacca: *ignores*
Me: SACCCCCCAAAAAAAAAA COME HEREEEEEEE
Sacca: *runs toward my general direction
Me:*crying tears of joy*
Sacca: *continues running and runs right past me*
Me: Time for the last resort. *takes a glass container of treats, shakes it, opens and closes the lid.*
