So, I have no real topic to blog about, so I'm just going to talk about my week just so you know what it feels like to be me. So this week was red ribbon week, which was pretty fun I guess. It made the week before Halloween a little more interesting. The week before Halloween is always a really slow and sort of depressing week for me. I love Halloween so much, it is my favorite holiday. The week before I am always so excited for Halloween to come, so I just can't wait to each day of that week to end, so life gets mad at me for that and makes each day of that week go by very slowly. Red Ribbon week made it go by not so slowly. I got to wear a cool hat to school that had a turtle on it, and I love turtles, and then I got to wear the most comfortable pants to school, because it was pajama day and I often sleep in them, and then I got to dress like a pumpkin on wacky day with my friend, which was SUPER fun. I really enjoy dressing up because it reminds me of Halloween. This week it was more difficult for me to do things, like my homework, or participate in gym class, because I would get distracted by daydreaming or talking about Halloween. And then, on Thursday when I was just having a great day and enjoying the fact that I was dressed like a pumpkin, I came home from volleyball and got some news that really crushed my mood. I'm getting a C in gym. A C. In GYM. Just think about that for a minute. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO GET A C IN GYM?! My first explanation was the fact that my gym teacher just hates me. (I hope she doesn't see this). But then I talked to her, and she said that I talked to much and that it needed to stop. Wow. SHOCKER. Thanks John. So, my mom grounded me this weekend. Oh yay. It is the weekend before Halloween and I am grounded with nothing to do but think about the fact that Halloween is in four days. At least I got to Halloween shopping with my friend. During shopping a scary lady came up to me and asked me and my friend it we wanted to be models or it commercials and that she had been watching us in American Apparel and that we have real star quality. Creepy. Then I came home and watched some Friends. I love that show. And then I woke up today, made and apple pie, and then spent about 10 hours doing four math problems. I'm a loser and this is my life. #foreveralone
So I know many people have talked about music already, But I think that it is my turn to give my input. It is like nature's medicine... or drug. I am proud to say that I am addicted to music. I love it. I live it. I'm not sure what I would do without it. I sing all the time, and I love to just listen, too. But there is a certain kind of music that seems to be really big right now, and it just isn't my thing, and everyone thinks that I am crazy. Country. I can't stand it. It is always about the same thing and it all sounds the same. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a Taylor Swift song every once in a while, but she is more pop country. I just have a problem with country. It's not like the people are bad singers or musicians or anything. I just don't like how it all sounds the same. I like a song that sounds like nothing I have ever heard before. People always say, "How can you NOT love country? It is so chill!" There is other chill music out there people... I'm a big fan or Indie music. All of those clever and very talented undiscovered artists. They really inspire me. They may not have as many fans as Lady Gaga, but they just keep going for the sake of music, and it is just really cool. These people aren't in it for the money or the fame. They are in it because they love it and they have a gift so this is what they were meant to do. Like my dad. I recently got really into a song called The Big Bang by Rock Mafia. It's some good stuff. I'm listening to it right now. Anyway, I just love music. But I love different music than most people.
This weekend was a very fun and interesting weekend. I got to go to Pittsburgh to visit my stepsister who goes to college there. At first I didn't want to go, but now I know that I would regret not going. The first fun part was actually the 7 hour car ride. I slept and watched The Hunger Games and Grown Ups. Great movies. When we got there, we went to Julia's (my stepsister) apartment. It was really cool and I really wanted to live there. After that we went out to dinner. I had a salad. WITH STAKE AND FRENCH FRIES IN IT!!! It was amazing. After that, we went back to the hotel and slept because we had a big day ahead of us. The next day, we woke up, had a nice breakfast buffet, and left the hotel to take the trail to Heinz Stadium where we would watch the Pittsburgh vs. Louisville football game from the student section! It was really cool because the student section is right behind the field goal! I really enjoyed meeting all of Julia's friends, too. They were all very funny. I don't really understand football, but I get it a little more after watching it. In the end, Pitt lost, but it was a great game. After the game, we went shopping for some new Pitt stuff. I got some awesome sweatpants and a T-shirt. I can't wait to wear them! Then, at about 4 we had lunch... it was a little late for lunch, but I don't really care about that because it was still food. After lunch, we almost went swimming in the hotel but then didn't feel like it, so then my other stepsister Rachel did my hair and then at 9:30 we went out to dinner to a fabulous seafood restaurant. Then I went to bed because I was so gosh darn tired. We woke up on our last day and gt some bagels for breakfast. After that, we went to an amazing place called Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.It was an amateur photographer's dream! That would be me... You will see some of the pictures I took at the bottom of this blog. I took about 100, but those are my favorite. We left finally and went to a place called Peace, Love, and Little Doughnuts. They make little doughnuts that taste like gourmet cake. And that was it. After we eight our little doughnuts, we started on our wonderful 7 hour car ride home. I wish Julia lived closer so we could see her all the time!
Hi my name is Lizzie and I hate scary things. So as you may know, it is around the time of year where scary things happen.... October... Halloween... Scary Movies.... Haunted house... I hate it all. Except for Halloween. THAT I can deal with. I have some friends though who love the thrill of being scared. My good friend Maddie, for example. Tonight, Maddie wanted to go to a haunted house in Melrose Park called "Dream Reapers". We didn't think it would be that bad at first, and we thought that we would be okay going on our own, just us two. Then we really thought about it, and we looked at some pictures, so we decided that it was a little scarier than we thought. We thought it might be a good idea to invite some more people. Only a few could come, and we thought, okay maybe just three of us will be alright. Then Maddie said, "Hey, let's watch a video of someone in this haunted house, because then we will get to see what it is like inside!" And I thought, 'Okay, it can't be THAT bad, it's just people in weird costumes'. So, we watched the video... HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL. It was so very scary. There were bleeding babies, Jack in the Boxes eating their own toes, and bloody clowns running around with machetes screaming "AYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!" We thought that we should invite some more people. Well just our luck no one else could come, and our third person bailed. It took a while of arguing, phone calls, and stressed out moms to figure out if we were going to go. No. We weren't. We just didn't feel like dying on this fine Sunday night. So we may have chickened out on this one, but maybe I will try a little harder not to freak out next time. I'm trying to man up a bit and face my fears of scary things. Let's hope I can get through this October without getting crazy scared.
