I Don't Really Feel Like Coming Up With A Title

Today is the last day of March. Time really flies. School is out in less than 2 months. Yay.

Nothing interesting is happening. Life is boring.

I finished my Yuffentine. I still don't have a title. Maybe I'll start a new story. About ninjas or something.

Tomorrow is April Fool's Day. Should be fun.

Leave a few comments, will you? I'm starting to feel like I'm talking to myself.

Sigh...

Spring Break is over...that's so depressing. Anyways, I had a fairly good Spring Break. The first weekend, I went to a horse show, as you know if you have read my previous post. Over the week, I had fun sleeping in, playing video games, and training for a half-marathon. (Okay, that last part wasn't all that much fun.) The video gaming was, though, because I beat Dirge of Cerberus! Again! For the third time! However, the first time I played it, it took me 12 and a half hours to beat. This time, I beat it in nine and a half hours!!!! Yay!!!!

Also, I got caught up with the Japanese Naruto episodes. Yay! I've now seen up to episode 50, which is where Naruto and Sakura run into Sasuke again. I'm not going to say anything else, because I don't want to spoil the series for those who aren't as far into it.

And I started reading the translated manga. I'm to the point after Hebi is formed, with all four members. I won't say any more.

This most recent weekend, I went to the glider port. Saturday was soooooooooo much fun, because Mr. Jay was my instructor, and he had me fly a high-speed pass!! I was in control of the sailplane while it was traveling in excess of 100 knots...that's a scary thought. Then, on Sunday, I had to do a crosswind takeoff, aerotow, and landing. The takeoff wasn't that hard, the landing was a little challenging, but the aerotow was hell!!! I seriously thought that I was going to die!!!!!!!!!! It's amazing how much a bit of wind can toss around a 700-pound glider like it's nothing!!!!

But, as you can tell, I didn't die, and I've come back to post for you. Have fun back at school, everyone. I love you all.

Random Stuff

We got back from the horse show last night. It was fun, and we did pretty good. Monet and I got second in this one class, but only because my shirt goot hooked around the saddle horn (meaning that I ended up getting punched in the stomach...by my saddle). If that hadn't happened, we would've gotten first. Oh well.

Yay for Spring Break!!! I got to sleep in this morning!!!!

I've had this really weird urge recently to watch Naruto. I don't know why. But I was watching the Japanese episodes, and I have decided on my FAVORITE Neji line EVER!!!! It is "Oh, hell no!". Haha, I never thought that I would hear Neji curse... It was near the end of episode 32. Of Shippuuden.

I'm working on my Yuffentine, and should have more for my readers by the time we get back to school. Once I finish that story, I had a good idea for a GaaraxOC oneshot. So sue me; I enjoy writing emotionless/demon-infested/mentally unstable people. *Anime sweatdrop* Guess I'll have to write a NaruHina next. Unless anyone wants to leave me ideas about what else to write about. Although I don't think that any of you know any emotionless/demon-infested/mentally unstable people. If you do, I want to hear about them.

SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

w00t!!! It's Spring Break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Video games, here I come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, though, no school for a whole week! That's hard to beat. The Blackout "Say No To Drinking and Driving" Pep Rally was today at school. We got out of class half an hour early!! Yay!!!!!!!

I'll be at a horse show, without internet access, this weekend, so don't expect another post until Sunday or Monday.

Have an excellent Spring Break, don't drink and drive, and I love you all!!

I'm Back!!

I am back in San Antonio after a great vacation!!!  We had so much fun skiing and snowmachining (snow-mobiling, for all you non-Alaskans)!!!  And I managed to not injure myself too badly: a swollen ankle, a ripped nail (not broken, ripped off), and a few bruises here and there.  It was so much fun!!!  I'll bring pictures to school tomorrow!!  I would love to go on and on, but I have to finish all of the homework that I missed.  I'll post again later.  Love you all!!!!

Hello From Beaver Creek, Colorado

Hello, everyone!!  I hope that you all had a great weekend, including school tomorrow... which I won't be attending!!!  I'm here at the St. James ski resort in Beaver Creek, CO, and I just got done with my first day.  We left San Antonio Friday night, and drove up here yesterday.  So today was our first official day on vacation!  I woke up around 8:30 (that's 9:30 San Antonio time), ate breakfast, and took my time getting ready to go.  It was about 10:30 in the morning when I finally got out of the hotel room.  Then I had to get the skis, the lift passes, blah, blah, blah.  Anyway, I finally got to the slopes around 12:00 or so.  Seeing as how it's been over a year since I skied last, I stayed on mostly beginner slopes today.  And I only fell once!  (It was Dad's fault; he fell right in front of me.)  Anyways, I skied until about 2:30, and then I decided that it was time for lunch, so I skied allllllll the way down to the bottom of the mountain, where I could catch the shuttle, and get back to the hotel.

At least, that was my intent.  Idiotically, I didn't look at the map that was in my pocket, and I ended up getting lost.  First, I ended up on one hill that was very, VERY steep, which I managed to get down without incident.  Then, I had no clue where I was, but I figured that if I kept going, I'd eventually reach the bottom.  Because I've never been here before, I wanted to stay on the beginner paths.  However, after five minutes on the same path, I started to wonder where the heck I was.  So I stopped, pulled out my map, and found the way that I was supposed to take.  And, 20 minutes later, my little adventure was over.  And now I have another "stupidity moment" to laugh at.

Unfortunately, when I returned to the room, I found out that my cousin Davy (who is in college and an excellent snowboarder) crashed today and broke his right wrist.  Well, it was a hairline fracture, but still.  The swelling was so severe that he just got it bandaged and put in a splint, because they couldn't put a cast on it.  So he has to go back to the hospital in a few days.  But he's happy about it, because he spent most of the time drooling over his female doctor.  Lol.

Then, the friend of my third cousin fell on her right wrist as well, and it started swelling.  She went to the emergency room, and, guess what.  It was broken!  She couldn't get a cast, either.  I fell so bad for the two of them.  That's really gotta suck, I mean, it's only the first day of vacation!!

It's getting late, so I'm gonna go.  We'll try not to break any more wrists.  Have fun at school tomorrow!!!  I love you all.

Going, Going, Gone!

Today is the day that I leave for Colorado!! I'm so excited, because I'm going to see my aunt, uncle, and my two cousins from college!! Then, tomorrow, we're driving up to Beaver Creek, this kickass ski resort, until Thursday!! w00t!!

I'll be checking my e-mail while there, so that's the best way to get in touch with me. I'll try to post as well.

I love you all!

Poll Results

Well, this poll came out much differently than I expected. Tiger Sharks are the most popular to be attacked by, apparently. You guys are right, to a point. You DON'T want to get attacked by bull sharks. They are arrgesive and aren't likely to give up a fight once they start it. As for tiger sharks, they are the garbage cans of the sea, and will eat anything. The thing about great whites is that, even though they're huge, once they realize "oh, this isn't food", they're more likely to back off and/or leave than the other two. Although, when a 180-pound man is bitten, even if only once, by a 2-ton animal, he's kinda in trouble. It all depends on the circumstances.

Of course, we're not about to go out and put this knowledge to the test. Unless you have some strange desire to be attacked by a shark, in which case, be my guest.

I leave in less than 36 hours!!!

THANK YOU, KIND AND MERCIFUL LORD!!!!!

THE TAKS TEST IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That thing is a waste of my life!!!

The prompt was to write about the "importance of doing something you love". I BS'ed the entire thing, of course. I hope that everyone who took it did well...killing brain cells...numbing their minds to write a TAKS-level essay... Okay, moving on.

I leave on Friday, and I still have all of my clothes to pack and homework to get... I have a lot to do. Including my homework that Mr. Andreas believes that I am currently doing.

I love you all!

Danny Wins...Sort Of

Okay, congrats to Danny, because he was the first one to translate the Al Bhed, even though he cheated and used an online translator. So I'll make him cookies. Maybe spinach cookies... (that's what you get for cheating!!). I'll start posting random stuff in Al Bhed, if I can't think of anything else to say.

Sorry about the parentheses, and one last thing: at least I don't have to use the translator!!!

About the Al Bhed Translation Contest

This goes out to everyone, especially Danny. Trying to find an Al Bhed translator on Google is CHEATING!!! I'm not even sure if it will work.

About my Yuffentine story, I'm typing up the next 10-ish pages, which Danny called dibs on. If you want to fight for the right to read it first...good luck. You'll need it. (Sorry, Danny. I hope that you don't have too many people attacking you before tomorrow.)

TAKS is on Wednesday. IT'S A WASTE OF OUR LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Ahem* Sorry.

Congratulations to Xavier, who took the SAT on Saturday, and to the Randolph Track Team, who had their first meet on Saturday. Good job, guys.

Al Bhed

I was fooling around with some weights today (yes, I enjoy taking free weights and tossing them around like those little bouncy balls), when I realized what would be quite a bit of fun to post. Al Bhed is one of my favorite languages in the world, and there are few people who know it. The first person to correctly e-mail me the translation of this will get...I don't know what. Cookies? Yeah, cookies or brownies. My e-mail is xxdaughterofspardaxx@yahoo.com, and here's the Al Bhed: "Oui dnyhcmydat dra Al Bhed! Kuut zup!! E's jano esbnaccat, cu a-syem drec du sa, yht E'mm pnehk oui luugeac. Ihmacc oui tuh'd ku du so clruum, eh frelr lyca E femm keja oui dra naleba vun so cbaleym lrulumyda lreb luugeac.

Good luck!!

I Hate Sundays...

Sundays suck because you spend the entire day knowing that you have to go to school/work the next day, and that there's nothing that you can do to get out of it. Kind of like on days when I have to go on a run with my dad. Because he's evil. *Ahem*

Anyways, first track meet was yesterday. Not that I was there. But I'm sure that most of you already know that I quit because my father and I got into a huge fight about it.

I haven't played any video games yesterday or today. That makes me so sad...but maybe I'll play some tonight.

I'm leaving on Friday to go skiing - er, for a "family reunion". My aunt and uncle own a timeshare up in Beaver Creek, Colorado (which just happens to be a ski resort), and they invited us to go spend a week with them. We leave Friday and return on Thursday, so I can go to school on that Friday, before getting off for Spring Break. I just love how these things work out. I'll take lots of pictures, so I can post them when i get back.

The best part of that is, my uncle and my two cousins are HUGE video gamers. So we'll spend the time that we aren't skiing playing video games!!! I'm even bringing my PS3. (Potential burglers: this would NOT be a good time to try to rob my house, because we're setting the alarm with motion sensors and everything, plus there won't be much of value at my home. So HA!!)

So, I wish you all an excellent Sunday, despite the fact that tomorrow is Monday. I love you all!!!
