Thanksgiving was great except have a small stomach and didn't eat that much except some turkey and mashed potatoes and gravy. Oh, and cheesecake.
Tomorrow is black Friday and it is all the rage. Walmart opens at midnight (in an hour and a half). People have been trampled to death by ecstatic shoppers scrambling from store to store. I'm not going to die by getting trampled. I mean, it's such a morbid and stupid way to die! Who dies by getting tramples? Ever?
Anyway, my point is, I'm not going shopping. I'm going shopping on Saturday with my best friend at half price books and tomorrow my sister and I are going to Bartell's and QFC.
Well, happy thanksgiving! And even though it's really early, happy holidays!

-Blank- (again)
There's never anything to talk about on this blog anymore. I need to think of a new strategy. Sure, I'm writing a book, chapter by chapter, but I'm not brave enough to post it for all of the world to see. Noooooo way. No way.
I just put my thinking hat on. It's not working.
Any ideas, anybody?
Please?

-Blank-
I couldn't think of a title, so I'm just calling this blog post a blank.
Life's pretty good besides the fact that my English grade is down because I failed yet another AR test. I don't see the advantage of not letting middle schoolers read what they want to read. And since I'm in honors, I have to read above a 6.5 reading level, and that means mostly classics. Ugh.
Anyway, I made the jazz band! And I improved my mile time by a minute and two seconds since the beginning of seventh grade.
My obsession with chemistry persists, and I don't have a slight clue why.
Last year our school dance was kind of stupid, so this year my BFF and I are kicking it back at her place on Friday and we are going to watch cheesy love stories and eat popcorn, soda, and ice cream. Yum.
Well, it's late, I'm tired, and I'm going to church tomorrow, so goodnight! :)

Gone...
How do you feel when something (or someone) you loved and cared about so much is gone? Just... gone. Like, 'You will never see them again in this world', kind of gone.
Well, just remember, if something like that happens to you, just remember that God wants that to happen. It may be for your own good, or maybe He has some special little reason of His own. But it's always going to be a good reason.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
To me, this means that we shouldn't let ourselves believe our explanations for why things happen the way they do, and why they do. We need to just understand that this was God's plan for us, and that whatever happened took place for a good reason. God doesn't want to make you sad, he wants to make you happy. So don't be angry at God. What did He ever do to you?
But trust God. He has a great plan for you, no matter who you are. He will make your path of life clear if you listen to him.

W-w-w-waaatttteeerrr!
Who loves water? I sure do. A few minutes ago I realized how dry my throat was. I drank a HUGE glass of water just now, and yet my throat is STILL dry.
Do you ever have a thirst that you can't satisfy, or possibly a hunger?
Whether it's literally a hunger or a thirst, or if it's just a metaphorical thing, we all have hungers or thirsts that we can't satisfy.
For me, something I can't satisfy is my greed for God to talk to me. Because all of my church friends at camp said, "Ohhh God talked to me! It was so cool!"
And I'm just standing there like, "Oh, yeah. That's so cool." And I'm secretly thinking in my head, Why can't that happen to me? Why am I the odd one out here?
And sure, I've felt God's presence, but He's never talked to me.
That's really the only thing that I have a never ending thirst for in life, besides the literal things like what happened to me just a few minutes ago.
But even if it seems like your hungers of thirsts won't ever be satisfied, maybe they are not supposed to be, maybe they are. It depends on what it is. But I'm not going to get into that.
But... don't get dehydrated, literally. Haha.

Sometimes Life is Like a Pair of Tangled Up Headphones... You Have to Untangle Them Carefully and Try Not to Damage Them.
You know the saying, "Life is like a box of chocolates... You never know which one you're gonna get."?
Well, you can use the same quote, but in a different context. I made up the headphones version today while I was laying in the sun listening to my Ipod. I was trying to untangle my headphones and almost broke them. So I thought in my head, Sometimes life is like a pair of tangled up headphones.
And by saying this I'm not saying my life is tangled up. Sometimes it sure feels like it though. But if you are just having trouble with something in your life, whether it's temptation, peer pressure, doubt, et cetera, just remember that anything can be fixed. Even though things seem like things will never be fixed, someday, somehow, they will be fixed. Just pray to God about it. And don't worry if things don't get better right away, because it takes time.
And let me remind you, God wouldn't give you any situation you're not strong enough for. Like the verse,
"I can do anything through Christ, who strengthens me."
~Phillipians 4:13~
Just keep that in your head and you will be reminded that you are strong enough. You will make it through whatever situation you are dealing with.
Just remember. God is with you. Always.

Don't Even Say the "S" Word.
I am so baffled at how fast summer has gone by. It seems only yesterday I was walking home from my last bus ride of the year, and now I have to make the most of the last week of summer already. I'm so sad. But I suppose school is good (oops, I said it). I just can't wait until I get to take chemistry in high school (and again).
Anyway, summer's almost gone. And I just can't believe it.
Let's see... what all did I do during the summer? I think I'll make a list.
- Summer Music School (!)
- Maine for 2 weeks
- Summer camp
- Great Wolfe Lodge
- Lots of bike riding
- Lots of going to the pool and seeing movies
- Hanging out with my neighbors and my friends
- Church and Youth Group (Oh yeah Jesus rocks!)
- Wild Waves
- Sleepovers!
I'll say this is a pretty awesome summer! I mean, how much more could someone ask for? Well, more probably, but for me this was a Totally Great Awesome Fantastic Wonderful Exclusive Totally Cool Rad Super Fun summer (TGAFWETCRSF summer-- I made that up all by myself)!
But you shouldn't dread going back to school, because you're going to have fun with your friends and learn a few new things! Whatever you want to be when you grow up, you should work hard, because starting in Junior High it even gets important. So try your hardest and don't give up, because if you try hard now, it won't be so bad in high school (!). I'm not saying it will be easy, either, but it will be better because you built up that confidence in Junior high and you will be able to say to yourself in high school (!), 'I can do this. I made it through 7th and 8th grade, so why can't I do it now?"
So I hope you get my point of subject. TRY YOUR HARDEST.
