Uggghhhhh. Well here I am in the LRC writing a blog and you know what that means? You guessed correctly...I am back in school. I had the most relaxing and fun break. Oh it was just the best. I slept till' noon almost every day and hung out with my friends and family. But remembering such a good time just makes me sad because now I'm in school and I actually have to try. I don't mind seeing my friends every day but all of the homework and time and efforts can take a toll on a 14 year old girl. I'm just a teenager, and I want to hang out with my friends and play sports 24/7. No school. But since I know that that will probably never happen until I'm old and retired, I guess I'll just have to suck it up for now. I guess school isn't that bad, it stays pretty interesting, especially in LA :) Whatever, I'm just holding out till' Christmas break. I cannot wait!!! I'm going to have the best Christmas EVER!!!! AHHHH!!! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!! Good luck getting through the week everyone.
Okay so I was just reading Maura's blog about Monk which reminded me about one of my favorite shows Psych. So the main character Shawn is hyper-observant so he notices every tiny little detail about you. You might have to watch the first episode to understand everything but I'll explain what happens. So this guy Shawn never really grew up and he's so funny. He goes from job to job because he just gets bored. One night he is watching the news about some robbery and just by watching the telecast observes that the owner is nervous or whatever and did it. So he called the police to tell them and it turned out to be right. But now Shawn is in the police station for questioning because the police suspect him to be that accomplice. They think that it's impossible to know who the murderer is just by watching it on the news. He knows that he is about to be arrested for a crime he didn't commit so he tells them that he is a psychic. He notices that a cop down the hall is going over dance steps and congratulates him on his upcoming wedding. He observes a couple of other things about the people there and draws conclusions that are spot on. There is no way that he could have known that because no one at the station knows him so they believe him. Now he opens a psychic detective agency with his buddy Gus. Together they are so hilarious, just ask Lucy she knows what I'm talking about. They take private cases and the Santa Barbara police department asks for their help on numerous cases. So there's the back story, I know it was long sorry about that. Now go out and buy all of the seasons like Maura said for Monk! Buy them together as a package and your life will be sweet. I too already have these seasons of psych like I do for monk and If I can't fall asleep I pull out my personal DVD player and watch this show. No joke, you can come to my house and check my DVD player. Now watch this show and you will understand. I give my Thanksgiving a solid B. It wasn't that great, but it also wasn't terrible so I'm satisfied. We had I think 19 people come over and that's the most that we've ever had. Our isn't that big but big enough to hold everyone. I am sadly the youngest at every single family occasion. So all of the older cousins talk to my brother about college and how much fun it is and where he should go and yada yada yada. Oh, and did I mention that I am the ONLY girl!!! Ughhhh it really does stink but thank god my cousin brought his girlfriend this year. Okay so we made place cards where people should sit because it's a big table and we didn't want people to waste time figuring out where to sit. I though my cousin Nick could sit next to his brother Erik's girlfriend, but then my mom said NO! I guess that Nick and Erik's girlfriend do not get along, I think it's mainly that Nick doesn't like her because he was kind of ignoring her at the party. I love secrets and no one would tell what their problem was so I am still trying to figure it out!! I STUFF myself every Thanksgiving, and I did it again this year. You'd think that eating so much food would put you into a food coma right? Well no. I was up till' about one in the morning trying to fall asleep, it was terrible. But I feel great today and guess what? Tonight I'm going to my family friends' grandpa's 90th birthday party!! Can you believe he is 90 years old!? Well I sure can't. Hope all of your Thanksgivings rocked!!
Okay so as many of you know, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Taylor Swift with a fiery burning passion. Hahaha that last sentence sounded weird..... So my birthday is in September and she is coming next August so my parents said that they would get me T-Swift tickets for my 15th birthday!!! I am sooooooooo excited it is unbelievable. I know all of the words to every single song on her new album Red and it's bonus tracks. She is absolutely AMAZING. She is the best song-writer in the US. She doesn't have as amazing a voice as Adele, but she is still a good singer. I don't know what to wear though, and I know that I have time but what do you guys think? Should I dress up as the girl from the You Belong With Me music video, you know the nerdy girl? I kind of thought that could be funny/cute but I need some input. Marisa being the mean girl that she is (just kidding I love you Marisa! <3) got her tickets on Sunday :( I didn't know about this pre-sale!!! Where did that come from!?!? I researched about the tickets and thought that only pre-sale was going to be on Friday an hour before the tickets come on sale!!! UGGGHHHH!! I just want really godo seats....I'll get back to you guys on where I ended up. Sidenote--isn't she like super duper pretty? I think this girl is gorgeous. Okay have a great week everybody!!! <3 So on Sunday I went to church and found out that the eighth grade was going on a field trip. As you can imagine I was ecstatic.....not really. I was fine with it because I got to hang with my super cool Greek friends, who I think Lizzie, Lucy, and Linnea would love. We went to a place in Glenview called the Vi. It's an assisted living building and it's extremely nice. We went to the memory support wing to do some crafts with some of the people living there. Those people have diseases that causes them to slowly loose their memory like Alzheimer's and Dementia. They have trouble with short-term memory but do have pretty good long term memory. I love Grandpas, they are so cute and sweet. So naturally I decided to help the one old man there. His name was Jerry and he was sooooo nice. I helped him make a vase filled with pebbles and fake flowers. Then I escorted him back to his room and helped him figure out where they would look best. He told me about his old job and how he startede a frozen food company, apparently the first one and the biggest one in the country. He told me about his grandchildren and where they went to college. Then we had to go and he was so sweet he said that he really liked making a new friend :) Then he gave me a hug. I wanted to cry I felt so bad for him and he reminded me of my Grandpa. He was so nice and so kind I seriously want to cry right now. He was also really funny. I <3 old people because they are always so darn cute and of course hilarious! God bless the old people of America!!!
So over the weeekend my mom's best friend's son was being Bar Mitsvad. He just turned 13 which is how old you need to be to have a Bar Mitva. On Friday night there was a dinner and temple service for close family and friends which my brother, my mom and I attended. After that service we helped set up for the after party that was going to be that Saturday. I can say that I am quite the party setter-upper. I sprinkled the confetti on all of the tables and set up the cute center pieces. The center peices were old pictures of Robby, the Bar Mitsva, and they were adorable! I was in one and I'll figure out how to post it later. During the templ service on Saturday, my brother and I were asked to recite a poem by Steve Jobs. The family really wanted us to read the poem in British accents. We got up there and my brother started going full out British and I as you probably already guessed I started cracking up. I did do a British accent but it was hard to tell through the laughs. It was pretty hilarious and the Rabi didn't really like us after that. But it was worth. It was an awsome weekend and I hope I can go to another Ba
Recently I have discovered that I no longer would like to deal with horror movies. Up until now I have enjoyed repeatedly freaking myself out with hauntings, diseases, and murder movies. This weekend alone I think I watched about four different horror stories, and I think this helped me realize that they really do nothing for me. I've come to the thought..: why scare myself for entertainment? I think the movie that really put me over the edge was Insidious; it was definitely the scariest movie I've ever seen, and that says a lot. After watching it, I was scared of old pictures and corners for about a month. I went insane! Ahhhhh I just can't understand why I've spent so much time thinking that being scared is fun. Being freaked out makes me feel hopeless, alone, and in a way, trapped. The night that I first watched Insidious (in the basement by the way,) my stepdad decided it was a good idea to come downstairs at two in the morning and give me a heart attack by knocking on the door where I was watching the movie, and turn off all the lights. I just died. I had so much adrenaline from being scared, I got up the courage to go open the door, and yell at Dennis, right after watching a horror movie that includes creepy doors. Overall, my point is that I need to stop watching freaky horror movies! *please hold me accountable fellow bloggers.* On an ending note, I NEED CHRISTMAS TO COME, and make me happy.
