Well, this is going to be a very short post because I am typing this all on my nook that I got for Christmas. But a late merry Christmas and early happy new year!

Snow Day Finally!

Well, I can say that it is truly a snow day and has been since yesterday at around six AM. It didn't stop snowing all day, into today, and stopped about an hour and a half ago. The snow looks to be 1 and a 1/2 to 2 feet tall. I love it. I have already been out there for about and hour or so, and during that time spent outside, I started to construct a small, tester igloo. It is very small, but it is at least standing up. It is about a foot tall so far, but I plan to start doming it in and round it after another 6 inches or so. Right now I am taking a break (even though I wasn't cold) to eat some of the cobbler I made.
Lately (okay, since yesterday) I have been cooking a lot. So far I have made taco soup, banana bread, coconut macaroons, peach cobbler (from Jamie's recipe!), and scones. And I must say, they are all pretty de-lish. At least, I have gotten some compliments, if that means anything. But since I don't have anything else going on, I don't have anything else to type.
Oooh, except for my grandparents, they have three 3-D tvs, and man do they work good! They are so much better than the theater screens, and they are actual 3-D glasses, not plastic frames with a thin sheet lens that looks weird. No, these are really nice glasses that take batteries. You see, they only work if you are looking through each lens individually. Saying that, I learned that the batteries make a flash of sorts in the lenses. Each lense gets an alternate, every-other-flash flash. They blink 150 times each per minute. So what I mean to say is, the lenses take turns blinking. It has a very beneficial and awesome effect.

New Year, Amongst Other Things

Today is my last day in the class that I am typing in right now. Luckily, we get a break and it is a free Thursday or whatever it is going to be called. I am going to update this all now. We get a prize and certificate and treats!
Yesterday we went to a care center to make cookies. This is what happened: we get to the place the address tells us to go to and we go in there. The lady tells us that there activities manager or whatever the person is called, and says that there isn’t any activity about frosting cookies with the elderly. It is probably up at Kolob, she said. So we go up there and they say that it isn’t them, unless we have cookies to frost for them. We wait for half an hour, then the president comes and says the only way we can get in is if we sing for the old people. So we go in and sing, but we can’t frost cookies for them because they are about to eat dinner. We have to go outside in the freezing cold to frost cookies. Then we finish, ask the lady if we can go in and wash our hands, and she says no. So an hour wasted for five minutes service. And I didn’t even have my jacket. That’s Christmas for you!
I am so dang excited for Christmas and Christmas break. It starts tomorrow (well, actually it starts on Monday morning) at exactly 2:39. And then I get to go up north on Saturday. And finally make my igloo. I just can’t wait. Tonight I have a Christmas party to go to, and then my last day for the semester, and I will be done until next year.
I didn’t even consider the next year, 2011. I have some great lines to say at 12:01 on January first. Here is my awesome list. Have fun with it and tell everyone these:
• I haven’t ate since last year!
• You stink! Go take a shower. Bet you haven’t since last year!
• I haven’t slept since last year!
• I haven’t seen you since last year! It’s so good to see you!
• I haven’t went to the bathroom since last year! I gotta go!
Anyway, those are just a few of my own, so have fun coming up with more. They are quite amusing!

Tests and Christmas

I took a state test today…and I was very confident during the test, but nervous of the score. It turns out that I got 97%! I am so glad. Also, I took a big 85 (the state test was 76 questions) question test on Europe, and man it was easy as well. The map was a little challenging, but nothing I couldn’t handle. Anyway, now I get a certificate for the state test because I scored over 80%. It looks good on job applications and whatnot, so thank goodness my good work is going to get mostly paid off.
I am so so so excited for Christmas. I know that I have been spouting all this Christmas spirit junk and whatnot, but I just can’t wait. My total of four countdowns isn’t helping. Also, it’s no so much Christmas as it is that I get to go up North and build a small igloo. I will succeed. I will also get to cook (which I love to do) and watch movies on my grandparent’s 3-D tvs, of which they have three, two upstairs and one downstairs. Anyway, I have some stuff to do, but I did an update, so hopefully whoever is reading this will be amused enough to keep reading.

Christmas Ramblings

Okay, so today I was talking to a janitor, and I realized he had blue earplugs in them, and he is one of the janitors I talk to when I see him, so I asked him about the earplugs, and he said he had them, and so I followed him into the office and he told me not to tell anyone of his secret stash, and he gave me a pair! So now I don’t have to listen to my teachers if I don’t want to! I was just kidding…but still, it would be fun.
I am very excited because I made yet another Christmas countdown. It is a sweet one, and when you mark that day off, you put on a letter, and at the end of the countdown (Christmas day), it spells out “Merry Christmas!” I did it with my stamp set, markers, etc. and I must say that it is pretty dang sweet.
Last night we went to the North Pole and visited Santa’s workshop. We made a bunch of little care packages for the little children on the Indian Reservations in surrounding areas. I swear, we made over two thousand, and that is not a lie. I had the job of tying little stuffed animals like Beanie Babies to the bags and socks that held hygiene kits, coloring books, crayons, candy, bouncy balls, and all sorts of other things. It was really fun. And during all of this, Santa came around and handed out a special treat to those who were “working really hard”.
I have a list of Christmas music that I really love or have heard that is good. Here it is:
1) Mannheim Steamroller
2) Where Are You Christmas
3) Have a Holly Jolly Christmas
4) Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree
5) Better Do It Right (it’s off of the Jim Carrey Grinch)
6) The Miser Brothers (from the Year Without a Santa Claus)
7) The songs that Buddy makes up on ELF
8) Do You Hear What I Hear
9) All I Want for Christmas is You
10) Feliz Navidad
11) Believe
12) Grown Up Christmas List
13) Jingle Bell Rock
14) Last Christmas
15) Mary Did You Know
16) Mr. Grinch
17) Put One Foot in Front of the Other (off Santa Claus is Coming to Town)
18) Chipmunk Song
19) Christmas Is (by Run DMC or something)
20) The Little Drummer Boy
21) Toyland
22) We Three Kings (my version-down below)
23) Many more :)
Okay, here are the lyrics for my song. This song is We Three Kings, but I learned it from an old fart at an old person house where we went caroling last year. Here it is…to the same tune as the old one:
“We Three Kings of Orient are
Outside smoking a rubber cigar
It blew up and now we are
We two kings of Orient are”
Stun many a person with this song…especially your parents!
Happy Holidays!

Christmas

I don’t have much to say today. I can say that while I was on the computer, me and all the others were passed out papers that happened to be letters to Santa and Santa’s elves! It was so much fun to read these sweet little children’s questions and compliments. Luckily, the two little boys I received were not the selfish type. One asked for a mini motorcycle, and the other how I (Santa) got around the “hole” wide world in one night. I told him it involved magic, amongst other things. But both were very sweet children that I would have loved to meet. I typed up my reply. I one, I was an elf named Winkles and told him what had happened during a blizzard at the North Pole. I also explained the Christmas traditions after Santa and the reindeer got some sleep. We partied!
In the other one, I was Santa, and I was telling this adorable little boy (his name was Britton-which I love ((the name, I mean))) that he was on the Nice List and that he was such a good little boy. I gave him some answers, and told him about the North Pole as well, explaining about how I loved his cookies and milk, and how good they were, even compared to Mrs. Claus’ sugar cookies and gingerbread.
I can’t explain how excited I am for Christmas. I am planning on making a bunch of good eats and doing a bunch of good ol’ fun things. For example:
1) Making kettle corn
2) Making homemade caramel
3) Making whatever else I feel like
4) Building an actual igloo (I am somehow going to get a mold and I will build one)
5) Having a snowball fight
6) Staying up late
7) Reading and watching Christmas-themed stuff
8) Eating
9) Hanging out with my family
10) Playing games and having no work or chores!
Anyways, I can’t wait. For one of my classes, we made a DNA countdown to Christmas, and each day we get to rip off a strand of DNA, either Adenine and Thymine, or Guanine and Cytosine. I think my first one is an A and T. I am so excited to rip up DNA. It will be great. But the first day I get to rip off a strand is today! And I have been waiting since Tuesday to be able to rip up a strand of DNA that is from an unsaid person’s brain cell. By the end of the countdown, which ends of the 25th, that person might be in the hospital. Oh well. As long as Christmas comes fast!

Shocker! Harry Potter number 2?

I have some rather apalling news that shocked me and made me drop my jaw to the floor. Someone please help me pick it up before I share what news shocked me so badly that my oral problems will forevermore have trouble. Okay, thank you, and I think my jaw's okay. So, the problem is the following:
Tangled (Disney movie-Rapunzel) beat out Harry Potter 7 Part One during the weekend. Meaning that Tangled made more money this weekend than Harry Potter has, so now Harry Potter is the box office seller-outer number two because Tangled took its place as number one. That shocked me. And the only problem is that I haven't seen either yet, but I want to see both. Harry Potter is a must-see (I love the series, movies and books), and Tangled looks good. Plus, everyone I've talked to has been telling me how cute it is and how funny and how I need to see it. So yeah, the famous Harry Potter better make a come back for Part Two, for me. Anyway, gotta go!

More Random Yakking

Hello everybody! Today we made a DNA model countdown to Christmas! Every day we get to rip off a strand of DNA. It’s pretty sweet. Anyway, I have better stuff to talk about than this…I hope. Let’s see: you know what inventions I want to make?
Okay, number one is: food lotion. No, it is not food you can eat. It is lotion that smells like food. So, if you want to smell pizza all day, put on pizza lotion! Or ham, maybe. Or even chocolate-covered strawberries. There is also pork, potatoes, olives, cranberries, I don’t know. Whatever you want-we make! That would be my motto I think. But I don’t know. But wouldn’t it be sweet to smell like food. Of course, we might have a problem with people salivating and wanting to eat others. Yeah. That would be a small problem. Oh well. I would make the person buying the lotion sign a waiver. You buy my lotion, you take the risk of being licked or bitten. Too bad if you got hurt. Sorry, but I couldn’t afford to have sympathy. I have a business to run.
The other idea is flavors of milk. What about chocolate-banana milk? Or chocolate dipped strawberries? You know what sounds really good? Peaches and cream milk. Yum. There could be caramel, and chocolate-caramel, and they would be just so dang good. And I wouldn’t charge too much. Ooh, what about root-beer-float milk? There would just be so many miracles of milk.
Do you know there is such thing as edible, flavored play dough. Like literal edible play dough. I remember in kindergarten and the first grade, during recess, you could play at this humongous “house” or read a book, play outside, or read and play with play dough. However, the dough was edible. They had banana flavored play dough, and many others, but I don’t remember them. My favorite was the peanut butter. It was del-i-o. Yummy. And now you’re jealous. Too bad. I am moving onto my next subject. The only problem is, I don’t have one. So good-bye for now!

A Quick Hello

Hello everybody! Today I must mention that someone in my family is celebrating their birthday! But that person isn’t big on reading blogs when they would rather play games, so I guess that doesn’t even matter. But still…happy birthday! Today I’m going to try and add more fun stuff to my blog, which means I won’t be writing as much. In fact, I’m surprised that I am keeping up as much as I am with this blog. Anyway, you may or may not read more today….
Start your own countdown to Christmas!

3

Okay, today I have to quickly write this…it is about the number three. I am writing an article for the newspaper about the number three, so I’ve done a bunch of research on this. I will just copy and paste my article here, and then give my own reasons, but really, why is the number three used everywhere? After all my research, the only thing I concluded was that I could trace it through history. Anyway, here’s my article: Three hump-backed old women hobble their way across the rough, abandoned terrain. The clouds above are black and roiling. As they make their way towards an arching cave entrance, lightning scrawls across the sky, veins webbing out within inches of the trio. They ignore the thunder and lightning brawling above for the sky as they enter the cave. Once inside, you see their faces for the first time. You get the chills as you realize they are living proof of the number three-of the Fates: Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos. Then you get to thinking-if they exist, what else does? Myth and logic come together throughout the world’s evolution, and it can be traced all throughout history. The ‘it’ is the number three. Have you ever thought about the number three? The obvious answer is no, but the more you think about it, the more you come to realize that everywhere you look, the number three is all over the place.
The earliest recorded times of the continuous use of the number three dates back to Shakespearean time, and even earlier, first showing in Greece, Rome, and Normandy. There are so many examples founded on a test of time. For example: the three divisions of time-past, present, and future; the three persons in grammar-me, myself, and I; the sum of all human ability is threefold (the three attributes every human has)-thought, word and deed; the three kingdoms of matter-animal, vegetable, or mineral. To look at all these examples, it would seem that three isn’t just a coincidence. But the real question is, is it? Or is it a “vibe” of sorts?
Three is also used in math. The number three is when the first geometric figure. Two straight lines cannot form a 2D shape or enclose a space. Three, however, can. And through this, three represents that which is real, substantial, solid, and complete and entire. Three is a bigger used number, and it is easy to divide, times, add, and subtract by (although the same applies to one and two). Not completely convinced?
Religion also uses the number three consistently. In almost every religion, it is a holy and special number. In Christian faith, there is the Trinity. In ancient Greece and Rome, the three Graces star. The Vikings had the three Norms. There are three hours for some meeting times, three lessons, three subjects to cover. The spiritual meaning of number three deals with magic, intuition, fecundity, and advantage. Not only that, but the number three invokes expression, versatility, and pure joy of creativity. There are three Orphic symbols: Being, Life, Intelligence. The Hebrew three is symbolized by Limitless Light; sanctifying intelligence. The Kaballah three represents understanding and the trinity of male, female and uniting intelligence. Hindu: the Trimurti, the triple power of creation, destruction, preservation, of unfolding, maintaining and concluding. There are various trinities of gods for some religions. Japanese religion has the Three Treasures, which are: Mirror, Sword and Jewel--that being Truth, Courage and Compassion.
And we can’t forget myth. The number three is in myth and legends almost everywhere you look. In children’s stories, there are three evil step-people; three bears; three attempts to poison someone. In Shakespeare, there are the three witches. In Greece, the three fates. Also in Greece is Cerberus, the three headed dog that guards the gates to the Underworld.
See what I mean? It’s everywhere. It’s stalking you. You know what else is? the BACK IN UP SONG. Find it on youtube. 
Umm, you know what I just realized. Sometimes my post doesn’t show up. Sorry, I will try again if it doesn’t. Anyway, g2g.

A Late Happy Thanksgiving, Among Other Things

Happy Thanksgiving to all! And tomorrow we get to start our official countdown to Christmas, so get out those Advent calendars and get ready to eat shockalotey! Anyway, right now I am busy with nothing really, so I decided now would be a good time to go over my gratitude list:
1) My nose
2) My eyeballs
3) Food
4) The fail blog
5) Computer
6) Books
7) My aunt Jamie 
8) Talents
9) Ability to be annoying
10) Crème soda
See, share your inner grateful self by making one of these, and watch the new blessings pile up! Not really, but it might work, and then you will get something out of it. And you know what else? It’s time to get up the Christmas tree and get that fresh plastic smell around your usually smelly house! And time to break more ornaments, and also hang up the stockings that will most likely get singed if you try to light your fireplace.
Do you want to know what I think? I know, I didn’t give you much of a choice, but people need to deal with not getting their way in this world. But that’s not what I wanted to mention. (Hey, Christmas music is on the radio!) Disney channel is going down hill. Of course, it started with the Cheetah Girls, then Hannah Montana, then Shake It Up (which is stupid as they come). And all the people on that show have unrealistic, comically-perfect lives. Who wants to laugh at a squirrel sleeping? Exactly. I’m not saying that Disney channel is like a squirrel sleeping, but who wants to watch someone sleep? Especially some creature that will bite your nose and steal your acorns. Especially especially in the winter when they are getting ready to hibernate.
Guess what? My teacher wants to take students on a tour of Europe in 2012, so the world might end when I eat snails! As a serious topic, I am going. I really am. I’m saving the money, and I’m going with my friend. It’s going to be great. And I will get to go in the Chunnel, the underwater tunnel. You know what happens if it floods? We die.
On that happy note, I am posting this. Hope you like reading it

New Blog

Okay, I have officially started this new blog, and I don't have very much time to update it, so the waits in between posts may be long, but whoever is reading this, I hope you enjoy it, and please excuse the boring-ness. I'm just barely starting this one. Stay tuned!
Oh, and happy Thanksgiving!
