Last night I experienced my first thunderstorm of the summer. And we were also watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, so that's an awesome combo. It's a dark kind of movie, so when there's flashes of lightning that light up the whole sky and booms of thunder, you get little chills up your spine. It's kinda cool.
It's fun here because you have cats everywhere and dogs everywhere begging for you to rub their belly or scratch their ears. It's really cute. One cat, Flyrod, is always rubbing up against my legs and my hands. He's a big, fluffy black cat and soooo cute. And another cat, Madeline, is so tiny and likes to curl up beside me to take a nap. There's eight cats, and it would take forever to explain all of them.
After an intense thunderstorm last night, it's clear blue skies as far as the eye can see today! Later we are going kayaking and tending to the beehives... it's going to be awesome! Well, I'll talk to you later, everybody! Have a sunny, awesome, amazing, wonderful, fun day! :) :)

Take a Chill Pill Everyone...
Right now I'm in Maine and it's about to rain. If it weren't so cold outside, I would probably be kayaking or something. But it's cloudy and windy, so I'm rooted to a chair at the table. Maine is a pretty awesome place, and there's SO much to do. My grandma has 61 chickens, 9 cats, 3 dogs, beehives, and a humungous garden. In other words, it's a really awesome farm. She also lives right by the ocean and has a dock, so that makes it even more awesome. It got up to 110 degrees on Friday, and it broke records. At least it's warmer than Washington in the summer...
From the plane flight I saw the grand canyon from a very high view and it was really pretty...
So today I got this thing at The Map Store (The Map Store is a store where Eartha lives, a 45 foot tall model of the earth from space, and it has a gift shop too). It's a little light that looks like a pill; the top is white and the bottom is black. And when you twist the white part, it lights up. And the bottom is still rounded, so it kind of bobs back and forth when you set it down. It's from the Netherlands and they call it "The Chill Pill". And I suppose it helps you chill out, kind of. It has this kind of mellow glow to it. It's kind of weird that it does that.
So I supposedly have a ghost that lives in my room. This may sound really stupid, but I had recently read a book with the name Nelson in it, so I named the "ghost" Nelson. So if something was not where I had put it the night before, or something like that, I blame it on Nelson. It's become kind of a joke between my family and friends, but I'm almost convinced ghosts are real, because other strange poltergeist-like activity has occured. There's too many things to explain. But what's ironic is that my grandma has a rooster named Nelson. I laughed on the inside when I discovered that.
Anyway, enough about ghosts.
So everybody, take a chill pill, and enjoy your summer! Because if you spend the summer being locked up and antisocial, it's no fun. So chillax and do something fun! :))))))

The Sunny and Cloudy Days of Summer...
You know I planned to write in my blog everyday, but things have been so busy and I haven't found time to write. I'm so busy with Summer Music School, Hanging out with friends, church, and a lot more stuff. But anyway, that failed.
If I weren't so sore, than I would probably be up doing something productive or active. But last night at my acrobatics class was painful. I mean, the real circus stuff is awesome and fun. But it's what my coach calls "conditioning" that makes me so sore. It's basically stretching, muscular endurance exercises... and, well, just about any exercising that makes you hurt the next day. You know what I mean.
Friday is the biggest day of the week. There includes good and bad news. The good news is that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is coming out and we're seeing it Friday night. The bad part is that my dad is leaving and he's going to be gone for three whole months!!! It really sucks... but I'll deal. I will miss him very much though.
I still have an obsession with the Periodic Table of the Elements. I don't know why. But strangely, I've somehow managed to memorize 15 of the elements. And tonight when we were making s'mores, my dad put this wood in the fire that had some sort of sealant on it. The sealant, once shiny and smooth, turned midnight black. And it was like spreading over the wood like wildfire. And I said, "Chemical reaction!" And my mom called me a nerd.
Well, it's what I get for being obsessed with science.
But my summer has been great so far. I see my best friends (which is basically all of my friends) almost every day, except for the ones that don't go to SMS or are my neighbors. But it's nice that I get to see my friends everyday so we can catch up and just have a blast together. It's funny, because we have this "trademark" where we write "Hi!" on each others arms, and you're basically "part of the family". It's just a joke that we have. It all started on the second to last day of school.
Summer can get boring though, when your friends are on vacation, and the rest of your friends are busy hanging out with their other friends. It gets frustrating when you have nothing to do and you spend a perfectly sunny, warm afternoon inside watching movies and on facebook.
Anyway, life's goooood. Right now I'm watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire with my family. We are having a marathon up to Friday, when we are going to see the seventh one, part two. Now that I think about it, if we don't get tickets soon, we won't be able to see till' Saturday. I think I'm going to check. Goodbye, people! :)

Fourth of July Fireworks!!!!
Okay. It's 11:30 pm and I just got back from the Edmonds fireworks with my family and friends. The show was awesome!!!!! But one thing that they kind of messed up was that the fact that they blasted music throughout the whole show. And one exciting thing that happened is that the grass caught in fire because some bits of the fireworks kept burning and went out of range on to the grass. But it was really fun anyway. Well, I have SMS tomorrow--which, by the way, stands for Summer Music School, and I have to get up at 6:30--so I have to go to bed now. Goodnight, everybody, and happy 4th!!!!!
