My Birthday Party

My birthday party was yesterday! It was so much fun because it was a roller skating party. My friend Heidi slept over the night before so that she could go to the party. In the afternoon, we got there before the party started to get set up and everything. Me and Heidi went to get our skates. This Miley Cyrus song came on and the teenage guy at the skate rental counter was singing it. Me and Heidi looked away and tried not to laugh.
When we first started roller skating, we were both really bad. We eventually got better and then my other friends arrived. We were all roller skating together. Accept a few of my friends were really fast so they were zipping past us at top speed. Three of my other friends (including Heidi) were skating while holding hands and going really slowly. No one was really my speed, though. I was kind of medium speed and everyone else was faster or slower than me.
Half way through the party we all got pizza or a hot dog, ice cream and cake that Daddy made. When we were done, we took a break from skating and played arcade games. My mom got some rolls of quarters so that everyone could have ten. Plus, the party came with 25 free tickets for every guest. We got things with the tickets afterward but nobody could really get anything big. We got stuff like rings and Jolly Ranchers.
Then I opened my gifts. I got a couple scarves (really pretty), two necklaces (also really pretty), Aeropostale perfume that smells amazing, and I-Dog, some lip gloss, some nail polish, an earring and necklace set (they are a star and moon set), a Chelmsford bag with my name on it (Chelmsford is our town), and small pink catty, and two GIANT candy bars. Those were from my friends, but on my real birthday my sister Dahlia gave me a bag full of small things that she made including: perfume, a coaster, and a game. My other sister Jemma gave me a Chelmsford sweatshirt (that's maroon cuz that's our town color), and my Mamuma and Aja gave me a Nintendo DS with three games!!!!!!!
So anyway, the party was awesomely fun! Sadly, it's the last real party I'll have. I will have small sleepovers and such from now on!

Warm Out!!!

Today it was actually around 55 degrees! It was pretty warm. I had worn my winter coat to school but in the afternoon it was so warm that I stuffed it into my backpack and wore my t-shirt home! It got windy, though. My dad said that the warmth won't last. :-(

Vampires

Here is everything I know about vampires:

- the have pale white skin
- their skin is ice cold and rock hard
- It takes a lot to hurt them
- to kill them, you have to chop them into many pieces and then burn the pieces. You have to burn them because if you don't, the pieces will start to put themselves back together!!
- When vampires are in the sun, their skin glitters like it's made up of diamonds.
- The Cullen family is "vegetarian" which means that they only drink the blood of animals not humans.
- When bitten by a vampire, you become a vampire after a three day long morphosis. During this time, you feel a terrible burning in you and when it's over, you can feel your thirst and see your red eyes.
- Newborn vampires are not necessarily babies, they are just people that have recently turned into a vampire.
- Newborn vampires have red eyes. As you get older, your eyes will sometimes turn black or a dull shade of red.
- The Cullen's eyes are a strange golden color except for when they are thirsty, then their eyes turn black.
- As you get older, you can get used to the scent of blood and not thirst for it as much. Edward Cullen's dad Carlisle is an old vampire and barely notices blood at all. After all, he is a doctor.
- Vampires don't age. Whatever age you were when you turned into a vampire, your stuck looking like that. You get older in a sense, just not physically.
- Vampires are extremely beautiful.
- Vampires are very fast. So fast that when they run, you can hardly see them.
- Some vampires have supernatural powers. For example, Edward Cullen can read minds. Jasper Cullen can control peoples feelings. Alice Cullen can see the future. This other vampire Jane can make you suffer in pain by just gazing at you.
- Vampires don't have babies because the babies would just be babies forever. They couldn't be trained to stop themselves from blood thirst.
- Vampires don't sleep.
- Vampires don't eat or drink anything except for blood. The dining table in the Cullen's home is just a prop so that people think they are normal.
- The Cullen's live in Forks, Washington because there is barely any sun and it is a out of the way.
- Vampires are very smart.
- Vampires are usually very solitary. They usually live alone or with one other vampire. The Cullen's family of 7 is quite large for a vampire group.
- Vampires are very strong
- they hate werewolves
Well that's all I can think of for now. If I get any more, I'll make an update!

I got sick with the stomach bug. That's what my dad and sisters had on Monday. Then I got it on Tuesday. I was throwing up a lot. I threw up 7 times! The seventh time was at night and I was dreaming that some one was teaching me how to ice skate. Then I opened my eyes and I was sitting up with the trash can on my lap. Nothing really came out except a little spit. It was mostly gagging. But it hurt so much! I was grasping every thing around me and making fists. I'm mostly better now. Maybe 90% better.

Tomorrow my family is going roller skating. I'm having my 12th birthday party be a roller skating one. We are just going out for a little practice. I like to roller blade. It's like ice skating, but easier. I went to this other roller skating party and at first I was terrible at it, but once I got the hang of it I was zipping around and around the rink! My dad is going to try to roller blade, because he only roller skated as a kid. I know that he'll be good at it! He picks things up pretty easily.

I'm just going to take it easy today, so that by tomorrow, I can feel awesome!

This is my little baby cousin Rowan.


I could not get him to smile for the camera. When the camera was off he was all smiles but as soon as I turned it on, the smiling went away. Eventually the camera died and he started laughing and smiling really cute. Evil little thing!


In Long Island I got this scarf. We went to this little shop called G. Willikers. It's a toy shop.


It has peace signs on it!

February Break

Yay! It is Friday the 13th (ahhhhhh!!!!!) and we don't have to go to school for a week. This is because it is February vacation! Tomorrow we are going to Long Island, New York to see Mom's brother and my little baby cousin! We are bringing Meenah the dog with us. This is her first long car ride. My aunt and uncle have cats though. Ah, we see a problem. Well the cats will probably just go hide. Problem solved. My cousin loves Meenah. He squeals when he sees her and yanks on her long ears. He also tries to get at her eyes. Poor Meenah just sits there and takes the abuse. Whatever. For the rest of vacation we are just staying home and relaxing.

Inkheart

I recently saw the movie Inkheart. As you know, I love the book of Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. It is full of adventure and magic and all that good stuff. The movie was okay. I'd give it 3 stars. The book was definitely better. The movie was funny and scary in the right places and all. It was just that they left out important stuff. The beginning was all wrong, too. They did something completely different from what actually happened. Instead of putting the right thing in, they put something else where the right thing should go. They also made the ending wrong. The end had things that happened in it that they put in that weren't in the book. The movie was amusing, though. I guess it is always that the book is better than the movie.

Meenah

I made this video about Meenah!

Twilight

I finished reading Twilight! It is a great book! I've been reading it non stop since the day I got it. Now I'm going to start on New Moon, the second book in the series. Everyone I know has already read Twilight or is reading it or is going to read it.

Twilight is about vampires. There is this girl, Bella, who is 17 and goes to live with her father in Forks, Washington. She meets this really perfect guy named Edward Cullen who turns out to be a vampire. Edward has a craving for Bella's blood. Bella's blood smells much better and different from other humans blood. That's why Edward wants it so much. He and his family hunt animals though, so that they don't have to be monsters and suck human blood. Edward and Bella start to like each other a lot. One day, Edward and his family decide to bring Bella when they go to play vampire baseball. It is different from regular baseball because vampires are very strong and fast. The bases are a quarter mile away from each other. The pitcher stands far away too. They only play during thunder storms, though, because when they hit the ball it makes a loud boom. As they play, these other vampires come to join the Cullens. These vampires hunt humans instead of animals. They are the evil ones. One of them, James, wants to eat Bella because she smells so delicious. "The hunt is his obsession". James tricks Bella into meeting him somewhere so that he can suck her blood. But the Cullens come crashing in and save Bella from becoming a vampire!

So it really is a good book. I want to see the movie but I'm not allowed :-( But I love the book!

Winter Social

On Friday, the sixth and fifth grade had the winter wonderland social. It's kind of like a party. The seventh and eighth graders have a dance later on Friday. So at the social, there was a DJ who played all the new pop music. He was set up in the cafeteria. All the tables were folded up and pushed to the side. Then the disco ball was turned on! (Hey, does anyone know how a disco ball works). Last year, I used to chase the little lights that the disco ball made around the cafeteria. There was a table set up where you could buy refreshments. The kids at the social put their backpacks lining the halls. In the gym, some games were set up. There was stuff like Frisbee throwing and mostly throwing games. The seventh and eighth grade student council sets it all up. If you play them, you get raffle tickets. You write your name on the back, and put it into a bucket and at the end of the social, the seventh graders raffle things away. They raffle away sport shirts and hats and gift cards. On the other side of the gym there is basketball. The adults put a few basketballs in the gym and people just start playing. Another fun thing at the social is the thing where you guess how many tootsie rolls are in a container and then you get the tootsie rolls if you are the closest. Some parents volunteer to help out at the socials and teachers come too. My homeroom teacher, Mrs. Trainer came with her new baby. The baby was so cute! The funnest thing at the social is when Cotton Eye Joe and Cha Cha Slide come on. Almost everybody at the social (I mean all kids of course) get in lines and dance them. I always wonder if the teachers think it's funny to see everyone dance. I imagine it would be!
