Something to Surprise

Girls don't usually like video games, right? Right, especially the ones where you kill people. Well, I've got a little surprise for the world. This is my favorite video game ever.





Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter


When I was on break I played this game every day. We would play it late at night, then after I was done I would go to bed. But when I would turn the lights off, my mind would play tricks on me and I could see the red diamonds that outline where the targets (people) are on the game.
Please don't be scared. It's all for fun and not for realistic-ness at all.
I am not a violent person.

Happy New Year

Well... winter break is winding to a close and I have done -almost- absolutely nothing that I was supposed to. Tomorrow is going to be a Saturday full of procrastinated homework and an hourly cursing of my foolishness. Right now, I am inexplicably sick with a heinous cold (I have been sick 3 separate times this break). We just got back from visiting the fam out of town and, what can I say? You guys are the greatest. I am truly blessed with such an amazing family. To those who weren't there for Christmas: I am out to get you, and I don't care how I do it (nightmares, for instance, are very likely). But in all seriousness, this year I have determined to fully appreciate the blessings that I have been given, and ignore (almost completely) the things that I do not have.

So, now, who is up for a little New Years Resolution sharing? I'LL GO FIRST! :D
-learn and memorize Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C-Sharp Minor
-eat chocolate only twice a month
-exercise every. day.
-get straight "A"s
-meditate for 30 minutes every day (I am convinced this is necessary to my maintain- or regain- my sanity)
-be patient- with everyone, including myself
-look for the silver lining in every situation
-be content with what I have

Okay. I give up already. Just kidding! That would be bad. But I will try to remember and live my goals- even if I have to do it one little baby step at a time.

Happy New Years to my dear family and friends!

Saturdays...

Right now I am sitting at my computer and thinking about Saturdays. What are they for anyway? Well I am sure I don't know. Mostly I clean my house while my siblings don't. But there is one good thing about Saturdays, besides the fact that there is no school. Just homework. The ONE... other! good thing about Saturdays is that the mail comes on Saturdays. Everything else that matters to me is closed on Saturday (banks, Walmart...) but the POST OFFICE! Yay! So every Saturday I look forward to 10 minutes after 3 when I can skip outside across the ice, trip and die, and then check my mailbox.
There is nothing better in life besides getting things in the mail from your Aunt Jessie in Thailand once in a blue moon when it actually comes. Except maybe chocolate and new piano music.
There is nothing worse than tripping, dying, slipping on ice (not necessarily in that order) and then seeing nothing for you in your mail box. Except maybe when you are craving chocolate and have none.
The End
