awesome random character in a movie

the other day i watched bad news bears. it was a pretty cliche storyline. but its a baseball movie, so what could you expect? anyways, the best parts were the ones where this boy that was on the baseball team (timothy lupus.......real name is tyler patrick jones)said the most random things.

the first random he said was in the middle of ppl talking about baseball. he said, "sometimes bird poop tastes like candy"

the next random thing was when the baseball team was talking about a kid that was kinda bad. they were saying all the bad things they heard about him. then Lupus says, "I heard that he leaves money under your pillow when you lose a tooth" then they were like "thats the toothfairy idiot"

the last random thing he said was in a restaurant. he said "chinese people count with beads" it was soooo funny!

i think that its funny that his character's last name is Lupus and it kinda sounds like Lucius (from gladiator) and they both are really really really cute little boys. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!

everything

So, the other day I wrote a descriptive writing about Steelville, MO. It was supposed to be about our favorite place in the world, and I had several so I just wrote about Steelville. I will post it today or tomorrow.

I am at school, I just got done writing "How to Make Appointments Exciting". The main way to make an appointment exciting is getting a Skandar Keynes (Edmund Pevensie from NARNIA) sticker. Ha.

On January 31, my family and I actually get to go to Steelville because we're celebrating winter birthdays. I'm really EXCITED!!!

I have 20 min left in the movie Gladiator. It's okay, although, it's predictable. There is the cutest little boy in that movie though. He plays Lucius, Caesar's nephew.

Have I ever told you about FREEZE THE BUSH? Well, one day I was kind of trying to show off my French speaking skills. So while I was chatting with my uncle and our friend, I told them Fermer La Beusch (Shut Up). My uncle was all like why do you keep telling us to freeze the bush? It was funny, so now we say FREEZE THE BUSH instead of shut up while we're chatting.

I have to go to history now to take a test.

Sick

Hey,
I'm really sick right now. I didn't go to school yesterday or today. I am still going to my orthodontist appointment today and I am probably still going to the Band Banquet tonight. I hate missing school because then I have a lot of make-up work to do.
I'm gonna go now,
bye!

Ozarko!

So this weekend I went to a competition for marching band/color guard. It is in Springfield and is called Ozarko. Hickman High School got 3rd place overall. We got best percussion award and the best soloist award! We were supposed to practice this morning, but since we did well they decided to give us the day off. I'm so glad because I am really tired even though I got to sleep in for 40 minutes! Tomorrow I have to go in early for practice.......=(
I am ssssssssssssssoooooooooooo excited for this coming weekend! On Saturday, I have another competition. Then on Sunday I am proably going to Steelville to visit family! I haven't seen them since June. I will get to hang with my bestest friends ever, my uncle Jacob and my aunt Hannah.
I better go now, I'm kind of at school right now...

High School

Hi guys! I haven't written in a while...
I am at school right now. As you probably guessed, it's boring. I am in 3rd hour which is Apparel Merchandising. Yoon Choi is sitting by me and it's awesome!!! She's amazing. My BFF. LOL. She told me to write most of that. We are supposed to be working on our powerpoints but we are already done. I am so happy that today is Friday. Today I am leaving with my youth group to go to Mark Twain Lake for a retreat. It is going to be totally tubular because we are going tubing! I'm so excited.....
BYE!

camping

My family and I went camping in Olathe, Kansas. It was fun. We went there because my sisters had a track meet. At the camp grounds these people stayed up until 3:30am yelling and screaming. The campground rule was to stop making noise by 11:00pm. I didn't really hear them, b/c I went right to sleep. We went swimming in a lake, at first I didn't want to b/c fish are gross, but it was the strangest thing...we didn't see any fish at all. My sisters were purposely trying to dunk me and push me off the green tube. I ended up falling off accidentally w/out them even pushing me. It was funny b/c I flipped backwards in the water. The track meet was long, but my sister, Kristina, got first in the 1500 meter race-walk. Near the end of the track meet I went to the concession stand to buy a pickle for $1.25, but they said I only had to pay a dollar and I could have two!

SUMMERTIME!

Summertime is great! I love sleeping in, but I also hate it. Weird, right? My BFFFLs (Hannah K and Rachael K) gave me Taylor Swift's cd called Fearless. I'm listening to it right now, it's amazing. One of the best things happening this summer is that I am going to get my permit! I'M SOOO EXCITED!!! My mom said that we will go get "the book" so I can study it. This weekend I am going to Crossover Christian Music Festival, and guess who is going to be there!!! TBR! This Summer I really want to read a ton and watch the list of movies I made. If you want you could give suggestions to read, watch, bands to listen to. Here is a song that reminded me of summer awesomeness!

"What time is it?
Summertime
It's our vacation
What time is it?
Party time
That's right
Say it loud
What time is it?
Time of our lives
Anticipation
What time is it?
Summertime
School's out
Scream and shout!"

60s party...

My Church Youth Group had a 60s party for the 5th graders who are graduating. Well, I thought it was going to be amazingly wonderful, but I never learn to stop getting my hopes up. The party would have been okay if the games were relevant to the 60s, if it was just a party (not regular youth meeting and a party), and if we could have listened to more 60s music (making a whole playlist of 60s music was my only job and a waste of time)...at least I can listen to it!

Anyways...I have 0.5 school days left. I took all of my finals except the physics final.

23rd post...finally!

I have finally got the chance to write a blog. Sorry, it's been a while. Have I got some great news for you!

You know how I wrote about the Writing Assessment we had to take? And how I was writing about the Civil War? Well, I got a 4/4 on that Writing Assessment!!! My first 4/4 ever! I was really happy b/c I worked really hard on it.

5 1/2 days of school left! Four days this week, 1 1/2 days next week. Then SUMMER!

Tomorrow I am going to perform in the Memorial Day parade. This is my last performance for OJHS.

I busted my lip on Thursday b/c I was practicing my rifle in Color Guard. I was the "first blood of the season". Apparently it's an honor.

I have to go now and SLEEP.

The Beatles

If you didn't know, I love The Beatles! I just wanted to use this blog to talk about them. Well, first of all, their names were Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Paul McCartney played bass guitar and sang, John Lennon play rhythm guitar and sang, George Harrison played lead guitar and sang, Ringo Starr played drums and, of course, sang. They officially became a group in 1960, but they didn't have a drummer. This was a problem, they tried many different drummers and none were quite right until they met Ringo. They all had a similar hair style. They first became famous in the U.K. They traveled to America where around 3,000 screaming fans were there to greet them. From 1960-1970 it was called Beatlemania. They recorded many albums, and filmed a few movies. After the band broke up in 1970, all four members embarked upon successful solo careers.

Just last night I watched The Beatles' first movie (I can't write the actual name because then my sister will know). My favorite Beatle is George Harrison. He didn't get enough credit. By the time he was 16, Lennon and the others had accepted him as one of the band; because Harrison was the youngest member of the group, he was looked upon as a kid by the others for another few years. He was often known as "the quiet one".

Next, I am going to watch Help! starring the Beatles.

RIFLE! RIFLE! RIFLE!

It has definitely been a while since I last blogged. On Thursday I had HHS Color Guard practice. We learned a few tosses and moves with RIFLES!!! At first, I was terrible, but I got better at it as time passed. Everyone did. Rifles are just sooo cool. The ones we toss are white. By our next practice we have to know how to do 8 spins in a row! And one single toss (I already can do that). I practiced at the park for a while the other day, and some lady with kids asked if I would perform for them, so I just showed them a few things with my FLAG b/c that's what I'm good at. She then asked if I would do something with the rifle so I showed them. Good thing they don't what is the right way to catch a rifle, because I totally messed up and they didn't even know!

VIVE LA FRANCE!!!

WOO HOO!!! Today was Cinco de Mayo, and our school has a competition between the Foreign Language classes. There is a Trivia Challenge that asks a bunch of questions about the Spanish culture, the French culture, and the German culture. There is a Physical Challenge where you had to put on this apron and weave back and forth between benches while holding a tray with a glass of water and a water bottle on it. It was a relay so four people from each language had to participate each time. Then, after school, there was a Scavenger Hunt. My French class did awesome; we had 98% on the Trivia when the Spanish class we were against had 58% and we won in our Physical Challenge. That was only my class though. After school we had to choose teams that are the same language as you and we got questions in our language (which was French) to answer. My team got second, but the team that won first were French. Time for the overall score:
4th place - Galve's Spanish (Red Team)
3rd place - Lambson's Spanish (Green Team)
2nd place - German (Yellow Team)
1st place - FRENCH!!! (BLUE TEAM)

We were uber excited since we won TWO YEARS IN A ROW!!!
It was so much fun.

Did you know???????

Hey everyone! Here on our very first DID YOU KNOW??????? we are going to ask a very serious question about a serious topic. Time for our question, listen closely.
Did you know Odontophobia is the fear of teeth???
If you knew, CONGRATULATIONS!
If you didn't, TOO BAD FOR YOU!
That concludes the end of our program.

I Can't Wait for Summertime!

I am sure that most of you love the Summer as much as I do! School is okay (I guess), but nothing can compare to the warm sunshine. Everything is so bright, and colorful. I enjoy the lazy summer days. This summer will be a little different for me though, since I will be involved in Color Guard. It's not too bad. I hope I can read lots and lots and lots of books this summer. Only 19.5 days of school left!!! I have a project I should be working on right now so I better go.

"Yeah I can't get it off my mind
I think about it all the time
It's a feeling that I get, I can't deny
It's a feeling that I get, I can not hide
I can't wait for summertime
I can't wait for summertime"

Watchdog phone call

Today I got a phone call from "Watchdog" saying that there a was a purchase of something online that was suspicious. They said that the phone number was my number and that someone had entered a credit card number that had an expiration date of _______ (I don't remember). It was just crazy because I was pretty sure that I didn't purchase anything. I DON'T EVEN HAVE A CREDIT CARD!!! My mom told me that the person who purchased the item probably was a scammer or the person who called me was a scammer to get the real credit card number.

Backwards Bus...

So, I ride the bus to and from school everyday. Today we had a sub-bus driver and a sub-bus. The sub-bus was really cool, better than our normal bus, the sub-bus was brand spankin' new. Sorry, I kind of got off topic. Anyways, our sub-bus driver decided to take the route backwards. Usually the sub-bus drivers make someone give them directions, but that didn't happen this time, so, everyone was yelling out directions and we were getting confused because it was a backwards route. The result of the Backwards Bus Route was that I got home at 3:40pm instead of 3:30pm. Not too bad I guess.

Writing Assessment

In public schools we have to take these things called Writing Assessments. Well, my point is that I usually hate them because I usually always get a 2.5/4. I decided this time I was actually excited about it because I am writing about a subject that is dear to me. The Civil War. The reason why I think so much about the Civil War is because all the young soldiers who fought because of what they believed in. It's very noble of them, and many of them died. There were 25 boys that were the age of 10 or younger. 300 hundred boys were the age of 13 or younger. Just imagine, these boys weren't even my age, but yet they saw a lot more deaths in just 4 years than I will see in a lifetime.

TOO MUCH HOME WORK!!!

My title pretty much explains what I was going to say. 80 problems in math, genres to write for my multi-genre project, health test review. I better get to work!

Job Shadowing.

The 9th graders at my school have to do this thing called Project SEARCH. It is where we get to job shadow some where that we want to learn more about that job. I will be job shadowing at my aunts clothing store, yes, my aunt owns a clothing store, in Rolla. I am excited because one, I get to work with my aunt, two, I love clothes (so working around clothes is awesome), three, I get to travel to do my job shadowing! I don't really want to work with clothes when I am older, but it is still going to be extremely fun! When I am older, I think being a pediatrician or an interior designer. I would like to be a pediatrician because I love taking care of people, especially children. It would be cool to be an interior designer because I love to make things look perfect in rooms, I like matching the colors and just creating the arrangement of all the furniture, etc.

I have attached a link to this blog post, if you click the title that says "Job Shadowing." Please click it.

Everything under the sun...

This weekend I painted my nails pink!!! They rock, I feel so Springy-ish! Today I was sooooo tired at school. I couldn't wait to come home. I am pretty much done with homework...yay! I just have to finish this one late assignment, and this other assignment that I apparently didn't do right. After I finish those, I will study for the economics test that is on Friday (not so yay), write on of the three genres (I am in the process of a multi-genre project) that are due Friday, then finally I will practice guitar. Except for practicing guitar, I will listen to music like throughout all of those things. I am listening to Hawk Nelson right now...it's AWESOME!!! Four more days!!!! Until the weekend! You should check out this cool band called Family Force 5, just click the title of this blog post.
