No School Tomorrow!

I have no school tomorrow! I'm really excited. My school doesn't have a ton of days off. I'm going to make the best of tomorrow.

Anyway, I feel compelled to put something else in this post. This is a picture I took at camp this summer. My cabin was seriously ten feet away from the waterfront and the racks where we stored the canoes and boards and everything. I got this picture, well, I can't remember when. But isn't it nice?
















Yeah. Yeah it is.

I Am A Winner!

For the past month or so, I have been laboring over writing a novel. Just about ten minutes ago, I met my word count. I haven't finished my novel, but I surpassed my word count goal.

See, November is NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month. People everywhere have been writing nonstop, including me, and right around now is when everyone is meeting their word count goals.

I'M A WINNER!

If you're interested in NaNoWriMo or their April play writing project Script Frenzy, I suggest starting at nanowrimo.org.

Now I must go throw confetti and have my own little ticker-tape parade outside as I celebrate my victory. Bye!

I Look Like A Dork, But At Least Everyone Else Does, Too

My choir uniform is bizarre. Here is a diagram of it if you don't believe me.

The red robe is actually fun.









But what we wear under it is dreadful.

We wear white polo shirts with the choir logo in red. They aren't too bad.

The worst part is the skirts.

The boys are lucky. They wear pants. There is an older group that wears tuxedos and dresses. Those are cool. And the younger kids all wear pants and tuxedo shirts.

But the girls? Out of luck. We wear these horrible black skirts over black opaque tights. And we have to tuck the polos into our skirts. If we weren't all so darn youthful, we could look like we were in our 60's.

Today I had a mandatory dress rehearsal for our Holiday Concert.

After we finished, I was starving, so my mom took me to a grocery store to get something for lunch. I decided it would be fun to wear the whole uniform in, including the robe, and count how many funny looks I got while wearing it.

The thing is, people do look at you funny if you wear a polo shirt tucked into a long, ugly black skirt, and a red robe. Especially on a weekend.

It was fun.

Harry Potter!

Last night I watched the eight Harry Potter movie with a friend. It was, you know, a delight. We were enjoying it and giving each other random trivia. (Did you know that in 1/3 of the scenes that Harry, Ron, and Hermione are featured in, they are wet?) It was fun. So at the part where various teachers and Mrs. Weasley are using charms to make a barrier around Hogwarts, it shows people watching them, and it show the Weasley twins. And it's dramatic, except for... THERE ARE FOUR EARS IN THE SHOT INSTEAD OF THREE! THEY COMPLETELY DISREGARDED THAT ONE OF THE TWINS LOST HIS EAR!

And then I'm watching a Harry Potter marathon on TV, and the fourth movie is on. And it has scenes that aren't in the movie put in, and one of them is right after Beaubatons and Durmstrang (I think I got the names right) walk in, Hogwarts starts singing their school song! It's funny.




I love how everyone gets into it except for Malfoy.

Happy 11/11/11!

Happy 11/11/11! This is kind of exciting. Have a great day!


This is just an absurd picture I made.

Enjoy the rest of your day. Forgive me if you found this post an absolute waste of your precious life.

No Homework!

For what is probably the first time since I've been in 6th grade (a bit over 2 months) I have no homework.

Yeah, that's about it.

The end.

There's Twisting AND Shouting?

To celebrate the 50th birthday of my school, we are singing songs from the sixties and seventies at our Grandparent's Day performance.

So everyone's singing these really old songs that were sung by these really old people.

The sixth grade is singing Twist And Shout by the Beatles.

So today in music, we passed around lyrics sheets and sang it. Well, we attempted to. One boy in my group actually knows the whole song.

So I looked at the lyrics and burst out laughing. Twist And Shout has the most outrageous lyrics, and the singing is even more outrageous.

It's hilarious.
Well, shake it up, baby, now, (shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout. (twist and shout)
Cmon cmon, cmon, cmon, baby, now, (come on baby)
Come on and work it on out. (work it on out)

Well, work it on out, honey. (work it on out)
You know you look so good. (look so good)
You know you got me goin, now, (got me goin)
Just like I knew you would. (like I knew you would, oooh!)

Well, shake it up, baby, now, (shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout. (twist and shout)
Cmon, cmon, cmon, cmon, baby, now, (come on baby)
Come on and work it all out. (work it all out, oooh!)

You know you’re a twisty little girl, (twist little girl)
You know you twist so fine. (twist so fine)
Come on and twist a little closer, now, (twist a little closer)
And let me know that you're mine. (let me know you’re mine oooh)

Ahhhhhhhhhh(root) Ahhhhhhhhhh(third) Ahhhhhhhhhh(fifth) Ahhhhhhhhhhh(seventh) Ahhhhh Ahhhhh Woah, Yeah

Well, shake it up, baby, now, (shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout. (twist and shout)
Cmon, cmon, cmon, cmon, baby, now, (come on baby)
Come on and work it on out. (work it on out, wuu!)

You know you’re a twisty little girl, (twist little girl)
You know you twist so fine. (twist so fine)
Come on and twist a little closer, now, (twist a little closer)
And let me know that you're mine. (let me know you’re mine, wuu!)

Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now. (shake it up baby)
Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now. (shake it up baby)
Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now. (shake it up baby)
Ahhhhhhhhhh(low) Ahhhhhhhhhh(higher) Ahhhhhhhhhh(higher) Ah!(high)

Yup. I laughed too.

Illness Does Not Equal Funness

I have recovered from being sick (pretty much) but my nose is running withing an inch of its life and I'm still coughing a bit. I'm thinking about just cutting off my right nostril, which is the runny one and the one where most of my nosebleeds come from. Hmm... There are scissors next to me... *Evil chuckle*

*Sneeze*
