It's the day after Christmas. In a way, it doesn't even feel like it's been Christmas yet. Is that weird? If I lived in Britain or Canada it would be Boxing Day. If I was African American it would be Kwanzaa. But I'm American and Caucasian, so it was just another day. Well, it was my mom's birthday. And I ate a candy cane in honor of National Candy Cane Day.
Wow. I have no idea what that was. I just started typing and that's what happened. I blame it on being tired. I slept in pretty late this morning, but I don't think it really made up for the lack of sleep on Christmas Eve. Please ignore that first paragraph. (Although if you're celebrating either of those holidays, I hope you're having fun!)
I did nothing all day (partly because half the day was spent sleeping). We did go eat at Red Lobster for my mom's birthday, but that's about it. Hopefully, tomorrow I won't be so tired, and will have something more interesting to say.
Naruto:
I watched episode 24: Start Your Engines: The Chunin Exam Begins. I thought it was hilarious! (And it wasn't just lack of sleep.) I enjoyed Naruto before, but these last few episodes have made me like it even more. *Spoilers* I find it hilarious that everyone's cheating, but Naruto refuses to cheat because he doesn't want to get kicked out. I hope he doesn't ruin things for them (although I have a feeling he won't).
Dear John by Nicholas Sparks:
I've read part of chapter 2, but I didn't finish it. I'll talk about the chapter after I'm done.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Today is Christmas! My favorite holiday (though if we're talking religion wise I like Easter more).
I woke up at about 7:30 this morning. That's the latest I've probably ever woken up on Christmas. My sister usually wakes me up at about 5 in the morning, but this morning she didn't wake anyone up. I was the last in my family to wake up.
I got a bunch of awesome presents! I won't list them all here (but I think I twittered everyone of them). My favorites were definitely my new phone (with a full keyboard!), a Hufflepuff tie, and my class ring. I got a whole bunch of books! At this rate, I'll never finish all the books I'm getting. I've got to finish Dear John before I start any of those books though. The strangest (but awesome) gift I got was an owl candle.
We watched the Disney Parks Christmas Parade. I wish I was in Florida or California. everyone was wearing Summer clothes!
After opening presents, my sister and I played Mario cart which I suck at. Considering I was playing against my sister (who has never driven before) and I have a permit you'd think I'd win, but I came in last each time. My 10 year old brother even did better than me. (In my defense though he's really good at video games).
I watched four episodes of season 8 of Little House (which I got on DVD). I also played my Harry Potter DVD game that I got. I sucked. I didn't get passed anything.
Later, my grandma came over and we at dinner. After dinner, my sister, grandma, mom, and I played Apples to Apples which my sister had gotten. That is a pretty hilarious game. I'd never played before.
And after finishing playing, my grandma went home, and I came up to my room to write this blog. That's pretty much it.

Christmas Eve!
Happy Christmas Eve everyone! Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, I hope you had a great day! In a little over an hour it will be Christmas here!
Yesterday, after posting my last blog, I finally updated my fanfic for the first time in four and a half months! Yay! I may get started on chapter seven tomorrow, or I may not since it's Christmas.
The majority of my day was spent watching Christmas movies on ABCFamily and starting to read Dear John by Nicholas Sparks (which I'll talk more about later).
I went to Christmas Eve mass. We left at about 3:15 but mass didn't start until four. We got there 45 minutes early and it was still packed! We had to sit in the back were they'd put extra chairs and you couldn't see anything. My sister sang with the children's choir. She did really good especially considering she had been (and still is) sick. She had to sing a solo, and was freaking out yesterday because my mom said if she was still running a fever she wasn't allowed to go. Luckily, she got well enough to sing. This year's the last year she can be in children's choir, so it would've sucked if she couldn't have sung.
After mass, we went to my grandma's house to celebrate Christmas with my dad's side of the family. We do secret santa each year so everyone only gets two presents (my grandma gets something for everybody). This year, I got money from my grandma. My cousin who got my name got me season six of Little House on DVD. I'm apparently supposed to be getting books, but they didn't come in time. They said they'd get them to me later. It was a whole lot of fun spending time with my family.
Dear John by Nicholas Sparks:
I finished the first chapter. I like it, but I'm not really into it yet. I'm sure it'll get better. I am kind of interested to find out what happens after how chapter one intended. (I was trying to make that not a spoiler for people who haven't read it, but I may have just made it confusing. Oh well.)
Only an hour until Christmas. I haven't even showered yet! I'm extremely tempted to just go to bed, but I know I'll never take one in the morning. At this rate, I'll still be up when Santa comes. It's happened before though (although I think it was the Easter bunny). The dogs woke me and my brother up in the middle of the night before Easter. I found my brother wondering the hallway because my parents weren't in bed. (I still don't know what had happened to them. Must have been helping the Easter bunny.) Anyway, I had my brother lay down with me until my mom came back. I wonder if my brother ever suspected anything?

A Day of Doing Nothing
Today I did pretty much nothing. Which was awesome because I was tired of waking up and going to school every day.
I've basically just watched movies on ABCFamily all day. I've watched Santa Baby, Santa Baby 2, and Prep and Landing. Right now I'm watching Miracle on 34th Street with my sister.
Once this goes off I'm going to watch the new episode of Naruto Shippuden on Disney XD. It's kind of weird that I'm watching the dubbed version when it's so far ahead, but I want to see them. Even if I get confused some times.
As soon as I'm done writing this, I'm going to edit chapter six of my fanfic. I'm determined to upload it to fanfiction.net tonight! It'll be like a Christmas present to everyone who reads it (which is sadly only one person that I know of).
Tomorrow's Christmas Eve! I'm so excited! I love Christmas Eve mass and one side of my family's getting together at my grandma's.

Outline For My Fanfic
Something I forgot to put in the last post. After finals in geometry I was sitting there bored, and decided to write an outline for my Avatar fanfic. I now have an outline for the next five chapters! Now that I have a clear idea in exactly what chapter everything's going to happen, hopefully it'll be updated sooner!
The fanfiction won't be ending after those five chapters, but there will be a new arc in the storyline I guess. Azula will still be the main villian (I hope that doesn't give to much away), but different things will be happening. I guess you could think of it like a different season in a TV show.
I'm a little worried because I'm going to have to write fight scenes in just a couple chapters, and I've never done that before. Also (SLIGHT SPOILERS) some characters are going to be tortured. I have no idea how to write that, but I will do my best and hope it's good!
I'm going to go try and write some now!
