Snow, Snow, Go Away

I spent my weekend just laying around the house, and getting on the internet. Nothing out of the usual.

I keep forgetting to upload those Avatar fics to fanfiction.net. I swear it will get done at some point.

I watched episode 32 of Naruto the other day. Great episode! I loved everything with Sakura. *Slight Spoilers* I think it's sad that her and Ino are no longer friends just because of a boy. You should never fight with your friends over something like that! Friends are way more important than boys!

We got a lot of snow Friday night. I think it was six inches or somewhere around there. My mom says there may be a chance we don't have school tomorrow because the back roads may not even be clear yet. I'm not getting my hopes up though. Whenever I start thinking we'll have a snow day, we never do. Then again, that may be a good thing. Snow days may be fun, but when we're making them up later, I'm going to regret ever wanting them. So, right now, it's a very complicated inner struggle whether I want a snow day tomorrow or not.

I've been working on my sketchbook for art over the weekend. So far I have four pictures. One of my cell phone, a bookstore, me as a teacher, and a forest. The forest one is particularly horrible. The leaves just make it look like I just scribbled all over the page (probably because I did). I can not draw trees at all. We had to draw a tree in class, but I got off easy then because it was an evergreen trees. Evergreens are way easier to draw. Their leaves are just lines instead of all these complicated shapes. I still have six more drawings that have to be done by Wednesday.

I'm saying this right now, and if I don't end up going through with it, then I'll have to punish myself some how. If we have a snow day tomorrow, then I will get (at least) the Kataang story I wrote up. I'm not sure how good our chances are of a snow day. It's incredibly likely that it won't get up tomorrow.

Awkwardness

Not really much had happened to me over the past three days.

I have to go to a confirmation thing tomorrow. It's five or six hours long, and will probably take up my whole entire Saturday. On top of that, it's about an hour away and it may snow tonight. Different people say we're supposed to get different amounts of snow. If we have to drive all the way there, I hope the roads are clear. Of course, I wouldn't be to upset if they rescheduled it...

Yesterday was 8th grade night at my sister's (and my old) school. My sister's in 8th grade and she played her last basketball game there. We realized that this was probably the last basketball game we'd go to there because my little brother doesn't play basketball. It makes me sad. I have to convince my brother to play.

I can't think of anything else to talk about except school. Nothing exciting really happened.

I don't want to go to the Confirmation Spectacular thing tomorrow. Mainly because I have no clue what we're going to do, and I'm going with a girl that I rarely talk to. In middle school, I talked to her every day, but now it's incredibly rare that I talk to her. It's like that with almost everyone from my middle school class. There were only 12 of us when we left the school (I think the biggest our class got was 20 something kids), and we were stuck in one classroom all day with each other. Now, in high school, I only actually talk to one of those kids (my best friend). I like this girl, but being in a car with her for two hours is going to be a little awkward. Plus, her best friend is also going to be there making it more awkward. I don't have anyone to talk to at the thing, so I may just end up awkwardly following them around feeling like I'm being annoying.

Sorry for that rant. I didn't mean to post all that, but I'm really worried about this. I always feel awkward about this type of stuff. I wish I wasn't so shy, and this was easier. (It also doesn't help that my ex-best friend may come, and she hangs out with these people. If I stay with them, and she's with them too, it could become even more awkward.) Wow. This may become one of the most awkward days of my life.

Future Zoo Owner

We had another snow day today! I'm always happy to get out of school, but I know I won't be happy when we have to make it up.

I really should have edited those Avatar stories I wrote and posted them, but that just now came to mind now as I was typing. If we get another school day tomorrow (it's doubtful, but you never know) then I'll try to do that.

I finished watching the Star Wars special features today! I've now watched all six movies and the special features except for the commentaries. I don't know if I'm going to go back and watch the commentaries or not. I like watching commentaries, but I'll probably wait until a school break (spring break) or something.

I found out my grandma got a cat. I really want to see it now. I don't know why I'm so interested. I just really love cats, and I can't have one for a pet. When I live on my own, I'm getting a cat as soon as I can. I'm actually getting a rat first, and possibly a snake. I also want a dog. I kind of want a bird just to name it Hedwig, but I don't think I would like a bird. I want a horse too, but they're way to much money and take a whole lot of time. Plus, I don't know how to ride one. I love rabbits, hamsters, turtles, and other small animals too. It'll be interesting to see how many pets I have when I'm older. Of course, all of them will be spayed/neutered and most or all of them will be rescued. Basically, I may own a zoo when I'm older. I'm going to have to get someone to keep me from going broke from buying/caring for so many animals.

I read chapter seven of A Not-So-Silent Night by Verlyn D. Verbugge. It talked about how Jesus' birth would have been humiliating for Jesus. It was interesting.

I wonder if we'll have school tomorrow...

Smoke Bending

I watched episode 31 of Naruto Saturday night. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't as amazing as the other episodes I've watched recently.

I didn't really do much on Sunday.

We had a test in world history today. I think I did pretty good. Normally whenever we have a test with an essay I can barely think of anything to write, but this time I had to force myself to stop writing because it was getting pretty long. Hopefully that's a good sign.

I'm almost done with my current drawing in art. The teacher came over today and said it looks really good, so I figure I'll get a good grade on it.

We started a project in child development today. We have to make a comic strip about family. She wants it to be funny. I think I'm going to base mine on the true story of when my brother (as a baby) peed on my aunt. It was hilarious, but I feel weird doing a comic about peeing in school. I've got no other good ideas though. We also started watching a video with a bunch of famous people in it. Tom Hanks is the host and Robin Williams and Oprah have both been in it so far. I can't really remember the name, but it talks about how the first three years of a child's life are important.

I got a 100% on my Spanish quiz today! I needed it after getting my first ever F on a test in that class. I don't know if I posted that on here. There were actually only three or four people in the class that passed the test. Definitely means I'm going to be studying a WHOLE lot harder in the future. The same day though, I got extra credit in the class because I was one of only two people that had their homework done. It pays to do what you're supposed to. I have another quiz in there tomorrow, so hopefully it's also a 100.

We has a sub in English. Pretty much all we did was go over the answers to our vocab and watch a movie. I can't remember the name of the movie. (I think it was white something.) It was about wolves, and the baby wolf was so cute! The sub we had is probably the most annoying sub that comes to our school. She does everything super slowly. She's apparently a retired teacher, but I don't see how. She has a really hard time controlling everyone (they were incredibly annoying today), and she never seems to know what's going one even when it should be common sense. How slow she talks really annoys me. It takes forever for us to do something because she takes forever just to get a sentence out. It might be because she's really old, but it still bugs me. I think all of that sounded a lot meaner then I meant it to be.

I say the new posters for The Last Airbedner today! They look awesome, but I'm slightly annoyed that it looks like Aang's bending smoke instead of air. I wonder if he could bend smoke... I'm not entirely sure what smokes made of. I also found out that there's going to be a commercial for it during the Superbowl! Yay! And the trailer's premiering with Percy Jackson! I already kind of wanted to see Percy Jackson, but now I'm most definitely going!

I Actually Wrote Something (Just Not What I Should Have)

I had a lot of fun at my best friend Summer's house last night. We watched How to Deal which I'd never seen, and Half-Blood Prince which she'd never seen.

We went to Walmart and Summer found some seasons of The O.C. which is one of Summer's favorite shows. She had to buy the first two seasons of course, so we watched a few episodes of that too. I'd never seen it before, but I actually ended up liking it.

What I don't understand is why Summer's (my best friend) favorite character is Summer (I wonder if it's only because of the name.) because I just find her annoying. Summer says that she gets better in later episodes, but in the episodes I saw I though she was annoying.

Wow, that last paragraph is confusing with the two different Summers.

I mentioned the short Kataang story I wrote a while ago. I said I'd post it on fanfiction.net and then never did. I got bored in school on Friday and wrote two more. One's Tokka and One's Maiko. All three fit in with my long fanfiction I'm writing. I plan on posting all three. I may even write more short little stories that fit in with my main story. I think they're all pretty cute. It's not really romance, just cute little stories about their families. I really like them, and I promise to get to work on my main fanfic soon! I should have worked on it in class...

I read another chapter of A Not-So-Silent Night. It was interesting.

We're finally watching the special features for the original Star Wars trilogy. We're watching it right now, so I'm trying to write this quickly. I'll probably remember something I meant to write later. Now, I'm going to go focus on the TV.
