owl ^;-;^

I woke up this morning, watched some TV.

Same-ol' same-ol'.

My mom said, 'Whoa, look at that huge bird!'

So, I looked.

Yes, it was a huge bird, perched on one of the trees at the edge of our windbreak. I didn't even really think about what I was doing. I just grabbed my camera, a hat, my coat, and one mitten. Only one, that was kind of strange.

And, here are the best of the seven pictures I got. I had to share them with you, because owls really are incredible and beautiful animals. When the owl turned and looked at me, right before I took it's picture, I thanked God for it. It was so beautiful.

This last one is my failed attempt to get a photograph of it flying. I knew it was going to, so I had my camera ready, and then it opened it's gigantic wings and took off and I was stunned, it was so incredible, and I tried to get the picture, but clearly it was too fast and too stunning for me. The picture would have come out blurry if I had gotten it anyways. I wish you all could have seen what I just did.

Have a great rest of the weekend.

God bless everyone

Oh, this is the little video I got. Really bad quality, if shaken camera's make you sick, you might not want to watch it. I do get a kind of cool little clip of the owl as it takes off from a different tree branch. I thought that I'd try to film it instead of take a picture of it this time, since last time it was too fast and also, I admit, took my breath away. So, if you want to stop watching right after the owl flies, you aren't missing anything. I would've cut out the rest of the video (I was trying to find the owl again, which I didn't) except I don't know how to do that.

Enjoy! ^;-;^ <<<>

Me And My Guitar

Hey,

This is an old picture of my guitar and me. Obviously, since my hair is still natural in this pic. I was bored, thought I'd upload it to y'all.

Love!

God bless!

~Tara

Ummm, At Least I'm Trying?

Well, I pretty much suck at guitar, I only had like three lessons before school started and now I'm not getting lessons anymore. I'm pretty sure I've said that before on here, but I said it again so you know for sure.
So, there are like hundreds, probably thousands, of websites that have guitar tabs on them. No offense to my ex-guitar teacher TJ, but Tabs do seem to be easier to learn, but I am still practicing learning the notes too, and the chords which are very important but hard for me to memorize and get all of my little fingers spread out and pressing the strings hard enough.
So, yes, I continued my search for some guitar tabs, maybe, probably, not the easiest tabs out there for a beginner, but they're songs I know so that should help.
The one's I found that I wanna try to learn are as follows:
Curl Up and Die ~ by Relient K
Let That Be Enough ~ Switchfoot
Awakening ~ Switchfoot I think that it'll sound weird w/ just the acoustic.
Devastation and Reform ~ Relient K Again, probably sound weird just with acoustic.
Then I saw Hey There Delilah by Plain White Ts and decided I'll print that one out too. I mean, it's Hey There Delilah! A kid at my school sang it at a choir concert, and he did really good. The song's sweet, okay?
So, that's all I have to say for today.
Love you guys!
God bless!

I Took Pics of Myself and My New Look!

I did a sort of 'self-photo-shoot' type thing.

This is pretty much the pics I liked the best from those.

How do you like my new look? I think it's pretty wicked sweet. XD

I was trying to take a picture of myself in the mirror, this happened instead, I do think that it looks kind of cool. And a little bit scary.

I like this one a lot, my mom gave me that silver necklace. Yea, I like this picture.

The sun was setting through the window behind me, the lighting was pretty good.

I LOVE that one.Calming breaths.What the heck!? Isn't that a WEIRD picture!!! makes me laugh.I like how in this one you can partially see my other eye, it has a nice effect.

I don't know how true emo kids can stand the hair always in their eye. It is such a cool-awesome look though, I can live with it. I'll get used to it. Your vision really isn't that obscured.

I think that this is my favorite pic of all of the ones I took. You can very clearly see the red tips. And my eye looks really blue and idk, the whole picture is nice. I think.

I smile way too much to be emo! But, who says emos really can't smile? I've never met an emo, but I'm sure they smile when they're with their friends. Or when they read stupid stuff on the internet about themselves that isn't true. Or, of course, when they look at the weird pictures of me, who doesn't laugh/smile?Ok, flash nearly blinded me! This is such a creepy picture!

I was trying to take a picture of myself in the mirror..again..still didn't work.

Rachel came to my aid and took the last two pictures of me. (Thanks Rach, Happy Anniversary!!)

This is the last one Rachel took. I LOVE it! She had me lean next to the mirror, and 'ta-da!' I have a twin! Which one is really me? Ah, it was so cool!

Thanks again Rachel!

God bless!

(Sorry I didn't get any pictures of the snow, it's all melted by now)

COMICS

Hey Everyone!
So, I was cleaning my room and I saw I had some comics from the Sunday newspaper. Well, I couldn't just throw them all away! Some of those comics make me laugh! And I like having something to look at or think of to lighten my mood. Basically, this is what I did.

Yep, that's what I did: Dedicated a corner of my room to some hilarious comics, a few of which still make me laugh out loud. Maybe I don't laugh hysterically, but I still laugh. These are a few of my favorite comics:

^^ This is Ollie and Quentin. Usually good for a laugh.^^For Better or For Worse--Really cute strip that usually coaxes a smile from me. :)
^^Dilbert--I used to think it was so Dullbert(haha, laugh, you know you want to), and I hated this strip, but now I've come to really enjoy it. The past few weeks it's been really funny.^^F Minus--Clever is all I have to say. Almost always laugh out loud worthy.
^^Cul De Sac -- I recently discovered this strip, and it is so wonderful! It really reminds me of childhood, and is slightly reminiscent, for me at least, of Calvin and Hobbes-My all-time favorite comic strip. I bought a few Calvin and Hobbes Book Collections, I like them so much!
^^Get Fuzzy--!!!!Used to not find this strip too funny. But now, whoa, usually it's hilarious and I laugh out loud. XD
^^Zits--Probably my favorite strip in the Sunday Comics. They are so true, and I love the humor. Not so much a LOL strip, but it makes me smile and remember all sorts of things that have happened to me or people I know that the strip reminded me of. XD!

Alright, that's it, hope you enjoyed!

Share what your fave comics are, I'm open to new comics. :D, that sounds funny.

Love you guys!

God bless!

:) :) !SNOW! (: (:

Hey everyone!
I woke up this morning feeling absolutely wonderful! I looked out my window, and what did God add to making me feel better and helping me sleeping well? He added SNOW!
It was so beautiful, there is no way to describe it completely.
Nice, rich, big, fluffy snowflakes. Falling leisurely practically all day, they delighted me every chance I got to look outside.
I absolutely loved the snow, and I was so thankful to God for it. Snow is a lot like rain: It washes everything away and gives a symbolic new start. I loved and enjoyed the snow today.

Ok, so I was gone from school for 3 days. You know how much homework I have? I'd guess /at least/ 2 hours of math alone. Ohmy! It doesn't seem like too much, especially compared with my cousins' school-loads, but I still am not looking forward to it. Basically I just wanted to get that out of my system, I was so frazzled all school-day today. There is just sooo much to make up. I admit, I worry about stuff a lot more than most people do, but I don't know how to stop worrying. Sometimes I stress about stuff and I lack even the most remote sense of why I am stressing about it so bad. Like my first guitar lesson. I don't know why I was so stressed and worried, and I asked myself that to calm me down, then I found I didn't know the answer, which should have dissolved my stress, but it didn't. I just kept stressing until I thought I'd be sick and my legs were shaking. The lesson went fine, it was fun. All during the lesson I, mentally, was pretty relaxed, trying to take all of this new info in, but my body was so out of whack! I could not, I mean could NOT, stop my legs from shaking, and my hands were sweating and I was totally tensed. It was like impossible to relax. I even tried a deep breath, and that didn't help me relax. Maybe there's some sort of disease or something that makes you unable to relax. I hope none of you guys have to worry and stress so much! It's not fun.
I am going to go, get some much-needed sleep.
Talk to all of you again, and I am hoping to get some pictures of the snow before it melts, but I need to recharge my camera first. It died right in the middle of me taking some pics of my cats. I was kind of upset, but yea, whatever. I'll charge it tonight, take some pictures, hopefully, tomorrow. But, the snow's already melting some, so it could be all gone. I hope not.
Love you guys!
God bless

1408

I stayed home again today. My mom came home early from work, also sick. Together we watched 1408. She hadn't seen it yet. I saw it once not too long ago with my dad because he made me watch it.
All in all, 1408 keeps you guessing. Or, it kept me guessing. I'm not a huge horror fan so I don't have many movies to compare it to. It's based on a novel by Stephen King. It has a lot of chills and 'gotcha!' moments. But mostly it's phsycotic. While you are watching him in the room, after stuff starts getting weird, you are in the same boat as he is. Wondering, what in the world is going on here?! Trying to figure it out. And then later on, especially when he is talking to the fridge/the hotel manager, you start to wonder if any of this stuff is really happening. Is he insane? Is he really out of the room? Is he really in the room? Is he safe? What is he going to do now? What can he do now?
The movie was pretty good, I liked it quite a lot.
One of my favorite parts, as small a role it plays, is when the room is on fire and the numbers on the door, the 1408, melts or, if you will, bleeds. I love that bit of imagery, it's very dramatic. My really favorite part, like a favorite scene, I'm not sure. I liked the 'You are here' with the arrow on the map as well.
Scenes, think scenes.
Okay, well I liked the book signing and when he was trying to tell the guy in the building across from the hotel to call 9-1-1. Waving his arms and yelling to get his attention, and then the mans peculiar response. That was expected, but still gave me the chills.
But I hated the ending. Does it keep going on in a continuous loop, or is he finally free? What about him and his wife, do they get back together? And Katy? Was it all really real? Did it happen? I know he has the tape recorder as proof, but still. Is it really the end? I'm not sure, but yes, I'd recommend it to practically everyone. Definitely not for people who don't like horror. But I hope that 1408 will become a classic movie, I think it deserves the honor.
If you've seen it, please share your thoughts. It was interesting, and I'd love to share thoughts about it; know what you think. Well, I think that I'll go now. I haven't been able to fall back asleep since earlier this morning. I drank some Green Tea for my throat, but I didn't know that Green Tea has CAFFEINE in it. Haha, needless to say, I did not sleep at all today. I'm tired and sore.

Oh, right:

BARACK OBAMA :::::::::: THE FUTURE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
Congratulations are in order. I am worried about our future though, no matter who took the Presidency, this is going to be very tough for Obama. I hope that he can do it, and that our country was right to elect him.

God bless!

NO MORE POLITICAL ADS!

NO MORE POLITICAL ADS--FINALLY!
WHO WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT? HOPEFULLY IT'S ONE OF THE CANDIDATES.
LET'S ALL TAKE A MOMENT TO SIGH IN RELIEF THAT EVERYONE SURVIVED THE CAMPAIGNING AND NOW ALL THOSE TERRIBLE POLITICAL ADS WILL STOP AND THE PHONE CALLS AND DOOR TO DOOR PEOPLE TELLING US WHO TO VOTE FOR WILL ALSO STOP :)
WELL, GO OUT AND VOTE AND HAVE A HAPPY ELECTION DAY! HOPEFULLY OUR COUNTRY WILL GO IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. OR ELSE WE'RE DOOMED. EITHER WAY, THE CAMPAIGNING IS OVER AND ONE, WELL TWO I GUESS, WILL WIN THE PRIZE.
HASTA LUEGO!
GOD BLESS!

Lambs, Dreams, and Alpacas

Oh, there was one more thing I thought I should share with you. Okay, I just found it interesting.
I might get a lamb! Wouldn't that be sweet?!
(ooh, Barlowgirl is playing on the Refuge right now, I like them)
I would get it for free, yes, FREE!!!(I like free stuff!) from one of my friends! They want to get rid of one or something, idk, but they offered it to me! My mom thinks that it'd be pretty cool to have a lamb, but we haven't told/asked my dad yet. I've said nothing about it to him because I know that if I ask he'd say no. He always says no to me! But he should say yes because 1) The lamb can be free-range 2) It won't need a special building to live in, one of the outdoor buildings we already have will work perfectly 3) The lamb's 'excrement' is like rabbit droppings, so that shouldn't be a problem either. (we had ducks for a while and dad made us get rid of them, (even lovely little Creme!) because there was duck poo everywhere).
I would love a lamb! Actually, my bro and I wanted an Alpaca for a while because Alpaca's are way better than llamas. Somehow we got it in our heads that we would start an Alpaca farm and become rich or something. I don't really remember how we ever came to think that, but it was a fun thought to entertain. What does that have to do with a lamb? Nothing I guess. I am so tired.
Well guys, leave me a comment, I could use some human communication.
God bless, have a great week, don't get sick! Oh, and Happy Election Day!

Not At School

I woke up this morning and I thought, hmm, I might throw up. I wanna go back to sleep.
Well, my mom let me stay home today. I slept pretty late, but I woke up a little more than an hour ago and I couldn't fall back asleep so I got up. Just been searching the web, there's nothing on TV and I don't feel like watching a movie.
Nope, I haven't thrown up yet, but I haven't eaten anything today yet either. I don't think I have the Flu, that's what my mom thinks, but I've been feeling sick for a few days so a day off is doing me good. Two of my friends were out last week because of the Flu, so I think it will probably just be a matter of time until I get it. So, hopefully taking a break from school will buff up my immune system enough so I won't get sick.
I'm tired but I can't fall asleep!
Wow am I glad I put the Refuge Radio on my Windows Media Player. Then I didn't have to search the Web for it. Nice to have some background music.
Hey, I think all of you guys should put the Refuge on your Media Players if you want to. I'll go find a link to the main site. http://www.refugeradio.com/ whoa, I guess that's kinda an obvious address, oh well, I'm not thinking so clearly right now.
Hey, Toby Mac is playing now! He's good.
Let's see, what else do we have on the site?
Today's Power Verse (Nov. 4th 2008, Election Day)
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. Psalm 118:8
That's pretty fitting for Election Day.
Ooh! Now they're playing Skillet! Last Night! Great song! Skillet is becoming a favorite band of mine pretty quickly. I should try and get one of their CDs.
As of right now the Current #1 Hit is Lose Control by House of Heros off of their album "The End Is Not The End". Must admit, I don't know the song.
The Skillet CD I really want is Comatose. Not only because I like their song Comatose, but because it has a great collection of their awesome songs!
Let's see, what else can I find?
All right, here is the link for getting it to play on your Windows Media Player, http://www.refugeradio.com/Webcast/Index.cfm , it's all FREE, which is pretty awesome especially if you are like me and are always looking for free stuff. :D
To end this weird blog entry, I wanna share what I just read on Jake Scott's page on the Refuge (http://www.refugeradio.com/Staff/index.cfm?ID=11)
He was asked: If you were on the cover of a magazine, which one would it be, and what would be the caption? And he answered: Magazine: Billboard, Caption: 'How The Heck Did This Guy Get On The Cover of Billboard?'
It made me laugh a little.
I hope you guys have a great day. :)
God bless!

Fun Fotos!

I took my darling rats outside for a little while today. I remembered I had promised them I would take them out a long time ago, but I forgot. It's getting closer to winter every day, and today was actually relatively warm, so I didn't have to worry about them getting too cold.

I don't take my rats outside very often, mainly because of my cats and dog which have taken snaps at them other times I've brought them outside. I have to be very cautious. Therefore, I went outside through my basement so the dog wouldn't see or hear me. That worked pretty well. This is a picture of my newer rat, Venice.

Venice again. Isn't she adorable?! She really enjoyed being outside, both of them did. They made me smile the whole time we were out on the patio.
This is my dear Firenze. She is the rat I have had the longest. I had her for a few months when I decided she needed some company, she was so terribly lonely. So, we went back to the pet store and I picked out a beautiful all-brown rat who seemed small for her age. I christened her Venezia. Well, as I thought the day after we got her and I was watching her and Firenze interact, she didn't look too well. She died a week or two later. I knew it was going to happen and so did Firenze. It was sweet, Firenze would sometimes sit next to Venezia and groom her. After Venezia died, Firenze seemed even more alone. That is why, another few months later, I got Venice to be her friend. They fought at first, but now they get along and only play-fight occasionally.
Our nice trip outside was rudely interrupted by Star, who came meowing his way over to us. I put Firenze and Venice on my shoulders and then quickly snapped this picture of Star sniffing around where they had just been exploring.

So, after being scared away from the patio, I thought Firenze and Venice (guess where I want to go :-D) might enjoy the flower barrels. That's where I took them, and they did love it!
Venice is so cute!
Firenze is more of the explorer.
Venice looks over the edge of the barrel, she's pretty curious but also usually timid. Firenze helps her be more outgoing, as weird as that sounds.

The sun is so bright on Firenze's head, it makes her fur look purely white! It looks weird if you look at it for a long time.

Moto came over to us, and took a snap at Venice. I snatched her and Firenze up and that was the end of our trip. Star wouldn't follow us, but I know Moto would. She killed a lot of my pets, all my kittens until we got a mean rooster who showed her her place. But the rooster died, and now she is partially reverting to her old ways, though she bonded with my cats so I really doubt she would hurt them. But she would probably love to eat my rat-babes.

After we were on our way to the house, I took a pic of Moto and Star (who I was wrong about, he did follow us!) who were double-checking to make sure the rats really weren't there any more. It was a quick end to our little adventure, but we all still had fun.

God bless you all! Have a wonderful week!

BUBBLEGUM SHOES!

I was looking through my previous posts, and I came across YouTube, That's SWEET!!
In that post I mentioned the Bubblegum scene, when Sam loses his shoe, and I thought I should share that with you all.
What's going on?
Dean(the boy on the phone) has just called his and Sam's friend Bobby to ask for help. Sam has been cursed with bad luck from a rabbit's foot. They don't know what to do, so Dean is hoping Bobby will. Meanwhile, Sam is having troubles of his own, the whole episode was hilarious. XD
Enjoy! (I know I did)

My Lovable Cats

SO, I was going through a bunch of my pictures, and I noticed something. I have mostly pictures of my cats and flowers. Interesting, right?

These are some of my cats, the pictures are all over the timeline, and they don't go in chronological order, but that doesn't really matter does it?

This is Star. He's very cuddly as well, but it's strange to pick him up. You see, he broke a rib when he was much younger, and it sticks out, you can feel it through his skin, and it always makes me pull back because I think it would hurt. But he gives no idication that it does, but I am still wary when I hold him.

Midnight. If I were to have a sister who was a cat, this would be her. I love her so much, and she's really funny. She tries to be serious all the time, but she isn't really. And, it's absolutely hilarious, she gets very jealous. If I pet another cat, she meows at me like, hey, I thought you were mine!

Oreo, the mother of Midnight, Star, and Spec. Spec is not in these pictures because I don't have any of him, he left some time either last year or the year before and sadly hasn't come back yet. I'm still hoping he will! Oreo is still a kitten at heart, but she has drastic moodswings. One moment she'll be batting your hand playfully and purring, the next she's biting your hand and growling. Crazy cat! But I love her anyways. :)

The newest edition to the family, last year I believe, this is September. She was in the back of my Grandpa's truck, we don't know how she got there. She seemed to like it here though, and no one in my Grandpa's town reported a missing cat or told him when he asked around. And so, we kept her.

This is a personal favorite of mine. Streak with his tongue sticking out at you. I believe he had just yawned.

I love taking pictures of my cats, they are fun, if difficult, subjects to work with.

Love!

God bless!

~Tara

A Video of....

This is Streak, my cuddly cat, LIVE AND IN VIDEO!
He's so soft! This, (and much, much more) is what you are missing by not having/loving a cat in your life. I know my life is richer with my pets.

What is that infernal clicking noise?!

I wish that I had a camcorder or something like that so I could take some better quality footage, and longer than just like a few minutes maximum.

Hmmm, Christmas is coming up...

DYiNg BLoG?

Maybe you haven't noticed, but it seems as though my blog is dying. I was wondering, what do people usually blog about. Okay, so they usually talk about their lives. Most bloggers are also older than me, and they have more to talk about and they have jobs and stuff. I don't, so I was wondering: What should I write about?
Make a suggestion.
I was thinking about making a weekly little story segment, that is doable and might be fun, but I have no idea what it would be about.
Please, any comment and or idea is welcome. More than welcome. I will send u a virtual cake.*





*No cake will actually be sent or received. It was yummy though ;D

Dean? Shorts? No.

This is a video of Dean Winchester. (Season 1, Episode 2, Wendigo)

It's true, I have never seen him in shorts.

What?! I was wicked bored.

FRED!

Alrighty, I got a thing from Fred's myspace and it is up and running on my page! I was so excited it worked, usually stuff doesn't. He makes me laugh, u probably heard him when my page first came up. That kinda bothers me that it's on every single time u refresh or go back to the page, but I'm pretty sure I can live with that.
Also, in honor of the most recent Supernatural episode, (Season 4, Episode 6, Yellow Fever), I have added Dean singing Eye of the Tiger in my side bar. I'm pretty sure him singing was my favorite part of the episode, and even if you aren't a Supernatural fan it doesn't matter because there is absolutely no plot involved. It's just a fun little side thing they decided to do, you can hear the camera men, (I'm pretty sure I specifically heard Jared Padalecki) laughing.

Nothing new in my life.

Love you guys!
God bless!

I Wanted To Share With You!

I wanted to share with all of you!
This is one of my favorite Supernatural clips. It's the intro to the last episode of Season 3, No Rest For The Wicked. The song is Carry On My Wayward Son by Kansas, and I really like that song. I'm working on memorizing it so I can hum it to myself. That might sound lame, but I like the song, ok?!
Obviously I still have lots of Fred Figglehorn on the brain, but I can't help it: He's funny!
If this video works, I might upload some more, and see if I can get some Fred vids on here too! And on my mp3 so I can make my friends watch him and have them give me weird looks!

Hope you enjoy it!

Love you guys!

God bless!

I MET FRED!!!

Hey all you readers out there!
I just wanna tell you that, yesterday evening, I discovered Fred Figglehorn!
He is HILARIOUS, if the slightest bit annoying. He is at www.youtube.com/fred and is utterly hilarious. I'm going to see what I can do about getting some of his vids on here. My favorites are Fred Goes To The Dentist and Fred Goes Swimming.
He is really funny, or I thought so. I suppose some people, probably quite a few, would find him offensive. If you've never seen him before, or this is your first time, tell me! If you are a long-time watcher, can't be too long since he's only been on for a few months and already #1!, let me know your favorite episodes!
As Fred says,
Peace! Around the world!
God bless you all, and I hope this makes you laugh and lightens your day.

One Of My Cats

This adorable cat is Streak. He's really cuddly and

whenever I sit down outside he has to have my attention!

I took a bunch of pictures of him today, because he was

being rather annoying, but I did get a few good shots.

Sighs and New Friends

The weather was supposed to get colder, and it was for a few days. Now it has heated up again, and that heat I cannot stand. I sigh in discontentment. I feel like dying in this heat, I must receive the cool, crisp, new beginning that autumn offers to me like an old and new friend rolled together, laughing and clearing my slate.

Even through this heat, friendship seems to endure.

I went to a parade today. It was homecoming week at school. Spirit Week, most schools do that I think. And so tonight is homecoming. But the parade was today. Of course, all my friends are in a float, everyone is part of something. Everyone but me, of course. And so, unsure of what to do, I flew with the crowd out of the pep fest and to main street for the parade. I went about half-way down the street when the crowd began to thin a bit. I stopped under the shade of a large tree, trying to look like I did not care that I was standing there all alone.
Then, much to my surprise and delight, a boy named Myka and his friend Darren came up to ask me where they were supposed to go. I said anywhere along the street. They still didn't really know what to do, so I told them they should just stay here, and they consented.
It was nice to be around kids in my grade, and though I did not really talk to them I still enjoyed the parade. Much more than I thought I would. All of my friends waved to me from their respective floats, even throwing candy at me, though I let the little toddlers and the sixth graders get all of it, except one purple tootie-fruitie I got early on.
And so the parade was over. I followed Darren and Myka back to the front of the school, Myka and I needed to catch the bus back to our sister school in the next town.
We said good bye to Darren and got on the bus that would take us to our town, we were almost the only ones on it. And, as things go, we started talking. Myka is really smart, I would consider him and expert in Mythology, he talked about it for quite a while. I like Mythology, and it was interesting talking to him, I really hope he doesn't think I was bored. It was hard to follow all he was saying, he talks so quietly, but intriguing nonetheless. We talked about school and his family and other places he's lived. Valley Fair and classmates. It was lots of fun, and a nice change from the usual conversations I have with my girl friends.
He seems like a really nice boy, Darren too, and I hope that our new found friendship with flourish.

Aside from all that, nothing has really changed with me. I am trying to learn to read Guitar tabs, so if anyone has some really simple and well-known tabs they would want to send me to help, I'd really appreciate it.
I'll talk to y'all some other time, right now I need to savor that fact that it Is thE wEEkEnd!
God Bless!

School, School, School

School's started, a little over 2 weeks now.
Can't say I love it, but it's okay. Fun to be back with all the other kids again. I forgot how much they amuse me. Not only amuse me, I'm sure I amuse them sometimes too. It's so much fun to be around people after my near-isolation of the summer!
I don't mind the work and the learning, but I do not like the homework. Really, homework doesn't help at all! They have done quite a few studies on it as well, but, for some unknown reason, teachers still hand out the homework and we are still doomed to get wrong answers for the questions we did not understand or know how to do and we had no reasource to go to to ask for help. Ahh, school.
The summer is over and done.
Lucky for me Autumn is my favorite season, the crisp air and leaves turning colors. Maybe I'll take some pictures once the leaves do change colors, all of our trees are still green. I love the smell of Autumn, too. Fresh, like a new beginning.
I think Autumn would make a great name, maybe some day I'll have a daughter and name her Autumn. But, then she might hate the name, and ask 'Mom, why did you name me stupid Autumn after a stupid season?' Well, who knows. I was upset with my mother for some time for giving me the middle name Jo. It's a guy name! But I have come to accept it, in part because JK Rowling's friends and family and other people too, i guess, call her Jo. Yes, that means I like the Harry Potter series.
People seem to think that Harry Potter is satanic. I see that angle, I do. But if you actually read the books, you would realize that the books are about growing up. Growing up and becoming who you were meant to be. That's what I have to say about it, I am a Christian and I still like Harry Potter. I like it for the way he is just like all other teenagers, he has problems, big and small(some unrealistic and magical, i admit), and he has to get through them.
Anyway, that's all I have to say for now. I have a lot of homework to do.
God bless!
