Yesterday me and my friends had a sleepover. We danced to music in my room, watched National Treasure, played PacMan and Galaga, started watching Elf, took pictures and had fun! Here's some of the pictures that we took!
Cool! I just figured out how to make different fonts and colors! Awesome (even though there aren't very many fonts)!
My friends and I all* made it into the musical! Most of us are townspeople/acting chorus! I'm so excited! It may not sound like a big part, and sure I was a little dissapointed, but without us the stage would be empty! There would be no other voices singing! So I look at us as one of the most important part! And we still get to wear a costume and be IN the musical, instead of watching it! Yeah!
*OK, so everyone that tried out made it in. There were about 2 pages full of chorus! If everyone didn't make it in, I'd probably be cut from the chorus!
My friend made this for us! I don't know if you can read that, but it says "Power to the Townspeople!"
Yesterday, on the first day of December, it snowed all day! It snowed 8 inches! I was SO excited! I LOVE the snow! These aren't the best pictures, but I couldn't get my others, so these are the best that I have. I LOVE SNOW!
My mom tagged me from her blog and I'm supposed to tell 5 things that are little known about me. I guess I didn't realize that my mom tagged me or I would have done this a lot sooner! Here it goes:
1) I got bored on the cruise!
How could someone get bored on the cruise? Well, I can do anything (almost) ha ha ha! Luckily I was only bored for one day because that would have been a bummer cruise! The rest of the time was G-R-E-A-T, GREAT! On that particular day I was bored I watched TV (Disney Channel, I don't have it at home so I loved the Cruise for that (and the rest of the stuff)) got some pizza, watched more TV, walked around the ship, watched even more TV, got more pizza and some ice cream, watched Even More TV and ate, and the day went on like that until my dad came back to the room and found me. We ended up buying a smoothie
and talking then I went swimming with Nick (I think, or was that a different day I went swimming? I don't remember!)
2)I should be doing Homework right now...
but couldn't resist blogging when I read my mom's blog again and realized that I was tagged!
3)I have a book report due Friday and I'm only halfway through the book!
I read today during school every chance that I got! I read all through music (thanks to Amelia, she was reading and I decided to also) which is 50 minutes! I got quite a bit through during that time! Hopefully I can finish the book and not have to stay up 'til 12:00 on Thursday finishing up reading and doing the report!
4)I HATE chalkboards and fingernails (you know the scratching).
I get the chills and try not to listen to myself or someone else when I or they start talking about just chalk or chalkboards. I immediatly think of scratching on chalkboards. I have to hury up and move on because literally! right now I'm shivering and grossing myself out!
5)I swear that I am addicted to pretzels and orange juice!
I LOVE to have pretzels and orange juice when I get home from school or when it's lunch time. They taste so good together (i don't dip the pretzels in the orange juice if that's what you're thinking!) Right now I have a pretzel in my mouth, but sadly I have to have water because we don't have the yummy fresh squeezed Winder Dairy orange juice that I always look forward to.
Well, there's 5 not as known things about me. Now I tag 5 more people. Here is who I tag:
Ruby, Chandler, Papa, Dad, and Aubrey. I know you all may not have a blog, but e-mail it to me and if you say so I'll put in on my blog (but I won't unless you say you want me to). Do just what I did. Ready...Set...Go!!!
I had an AWESOME time on the Disney Cruise! It was so much fun! I would have blogged on the Cruise exept for 2 things: A) I was having to much fun. and B) It cost 75 cents per minute for the internet. I'd be paying probably over $100. I'd rather save the money and blog at home, where it's free (or at least for me). I took 261 pictures while on the cruise! WOW! I won't show them all, but I'll show some of my favorites. Oh yeah, where we were was 2 hours ahead of us so it really feels like 12:00 right now, but I just have to keep looking at the clock telling myself that I still have more time.
DAY 1
We rode the plane in FIRST CLASS!!! Awesome! It was really nice!
When we landed in Florida, we cruised around Downtown Disney in Disney World.
Day 2
We boarded the ship!
That's only the middle part and it's big!
When we boarded we walked through Mickey's face! That was pretty clever!
Here is the lobby as we are boarding the ship! I took tons of pictures (261 to be exact) that I can't put on so I have to narrow it down...a lot!
When we were on the ship I went to our room, then exploring.
This is the kid room, the adult room looked identical, just reversed.
The TV room.
That's the deck that we had. It was so cool being out there at night! One time we even saw another Disney Cruise ship!
That's all I can do now, but at least there's some. I have to go to school soon! I'll finish another day (soon!)
About 1 hour ago Nicholas found a hole puncher. He came to me with it and a piece of paper. He asked me to "do it". I took the hole puncher and punched out a smiley face. He thought that was SO cool, so I attempted an "N" for Nicholas. It didn't turn out too well, but Nick didn't care. He said, "Is it swallowing the paper?" It was so funny and so cute! I love Nick!
We are going on the Disney Cruise on Friday! I'm SO excited! Keep checking in because I'm going to try and blog about it everyday with lots of pictures!

My mom went to Costco today and came home with these awesome boots! She said she was going to give them as a Christmas present or just have me pay her back. When I saw them I didn't want to have to wait! I decided to pay her.
I can't belive that it's actually November! It's almost Thanksgiving! Today my mom put out the Thanksgiving decorations and took down the Halloween ones. These are my favorite.
It actually moves up and down!
There were a few more that I wanted to put on, but the pictures wouldn't work!
I'm doing an acting class at school with my friends. I love it! My teacher is really nice, funny, and really honest. Today we talked about the school musical coming up. Auditions are in 1 month! EEK! We have to sing 32 (that's a lot!!!) measures of a song. She said to sing probably something from a Rodgers and Hammerstein play because we are doing their Cinderella for the play. I don't know what to sing! If you have any ideas please comment so. Our acting teacher and music teacher are casting. My acting teacher said that she really wants to cast boys for the ugly step sisters! That will be So funny!
Yesterday was Halloween! I had SO much fun! I went Trick or Treating with my friends, Ruby and Chandler. I was going to take pictures, but I forgot. My mom has good pictures on her blog though! I got a lot of candy! I traded with my friends and brothers, although not surprisingly as much as I usually do. I sold a bunch to my mom too! I get $14! While Trick or Treating and after trading I had 17 Butterfingers! I used to hate them (probably since I hadn't tried them and they just sounded gross) but now I LOVE them! There is a house down the street from mine that gives out hot chocolate and scones with honey butter every year! YUM! I got a lot of compliments on my costume. I was Batman, with a too small costume. I had an awesome cape and mask and my hair was in a very high ponytail pinned (clipped) to my head so it didn't flap around much. I also had the BEST boots! They were up to my knee and had the biggest heel! Except it wasn't just on the heel! It was on the whole boot! I felt really tall! I hope everyone had a good night! I feel sorry for my friend though, she's off sugar.
Tomorrow's Halloween! Today I'm helping at a fun Halloween party. I'm excited! For Halloween I'm being Batman, except I'm going to have a costume that's too small for me! I'll have pictures of it soon! What's everyone else being? I want to know!
Today I get to go to the Hannah Montana concert! I'm so excited! She's performing at the Delta Center, excuse me, I mean,... The Energy Solutions Center. I hate that name! I much prefer the Delta Center. Anyways,... my cousins invited me to go with them! They are sooo cute! One is 5 and the other is 8. Thank You SO much guys! Our seats are on row 13 (I think.) They are coming to pick me up in, like, 20 minutes. I know you all are jealous! I'll update soon about how it was!
Today we carved our pumpkins. It was a lot of fun. It took "guts" to clean the pumpkins out! Ha...Ha...Ha...!(?) This year my dad didn't carve one of his own, he helped Christopher carve his. Christopher carved Nick's. Marty's is a skeleton, my mom's is the only happy one, mine is a (?)vampire dripping blood, Nick's is ... um, I don't know, and Chris's is just a spooooky jack-o-lantern. Here's some pictures.
These are all of the family's pumpkins.
My mom's, a happy chap!
Mine, can you see the blood?
Marty's is on the left and Nick's (that Chris carved) is on the right.
Last, but not least Christopher's.
It's October and it's almost Halloween. Have we already been in school almost a month? It goes by so fast! We got our Halloween decorations up a week or two ago. Here are some of them.
This is the new spider web that my mom bought this year. My friend and I made a spider out of clay. Hopefully it will stay up there.
The green gourd on the left was made by Jenny Gochnour.
This is what I saw last night.
That's SNOW!
And THIS is what I woke up to this morning.
I can't believe that it's already snowed! Is this really October?
Today my mom bought a tire and rope to hang a new tire swing. As soon as she told us this Marty and his friend ran outside and got the tire and me and Lexie rushed to the garage to get the ladder. We had some struggles getting the ladder high enough, in the right place, steady, etc. But we finally got it. I have to admit Lexie is a lot braver than me, because I would not climb up that ladder to tie the rope and Lexie did it right away (as long as I held the ladder).
Once the rope was tied nice and tight Lexie and I tried to make a hole in the tire. We couldn't find the drill bits so we drilled a screw through it. With a drill you can pull the screw back out with the reverse button right? I guess not. We couldn't figure out how to get the screw out! This is Marty struggling to get the screw back out of the tire.
Finally my dad came home, got the screw out, made a hole, and hung the tire! I was the first one to swing on it! Here I am!
Finally we have a new tire swing!
I looked around and found the song Happy Feet! It's not exactly like my CD, but it's pretty darn close! Just click on the ? to go to the link.
Today I was building dominoes. It took me quite a few times before I finished it without knocking it down, but here it is. 
Pouty Boy. He really wanted me to swing with him.
Soccer Boy. He kicked the ball right before I took the picture, but I think that this is much cooler.
These are the Jr. High embarrassing moments of this week:
1) I fell off my chair 2-3 times in the same period, one in which I sliped through the middle of two chairs.
2) During lunch I tripped on my own foot and my friend had to help me stay steady.
3) During music whenever I stood up I had to sit back down and s-l-o-w-l-y stand back up because I stood up to fast and felt dizzy. (I know mom, I need to drink more water)
4) When I was helping put risers away in music I bumped into a boy because I couldn't stop myself from walking (my friend was kind of pushing on her side of the riser) I was also saying "Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out!"
5) As I was going up the stairs I was telling my friend about #4 and tripped and pushed a kid (by accident, I'm not the violent type)
6) In PE I started telling the other team what to do to get MY team out (without knowing it).
I'm sure more will be added on as the week goes on.
My friend's mom is a FABULOUS cook! She even has a cooking class. She cooks and teaches everyone how to at the same time. I was lucky and my friend invited me to come. Tonight was CHOC ~ O ~ LATE night! Deeeelicious! (Kay, remember?) She made an Oreo Cake, a Chocolate Dream Pie, Death by Chocolate Pudding Cake, Bliss Cheesecake (my personal favorite), and Black and White Mousse. Oh yeah, I know you all are jealous! I'm SO lucky! I LOVED it! At the end we all got a little bit of EVERYTHING!
I'm a party pooper and wasn't able to finish it all, so I had to bring it home and eat the rest. My mom broke her 'no sugar' diet and ate some, she just couldn't stand it sitting right in front of her, taunting her, saying (in a really high pitched voice) "Angela, Angela, we're delicious! Come and eat us! Angela." OK, so desserts* don't really talk, but I'm sure she was imagining it.
As it is a school night and it is 10:37 and I'm supposed to be asleep by 10:00 I better go. Blogging is so addicting!
*I always seemed to get deserts and desserts mixed up until my 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Wagstaff taught me that you want more desserts, so you have more s'! Just a little tip for all of you like me who quite often get words like that mixed up.
Never try to do confusing algebra while in your room with the door shut laying on the carpet or you might fall asleep and be really tired and not want to get up for dinner even though you are really hungry. Instead you should do confusing algebra somewhere where you have some fresh air, at a table, and where you don't feel closed in. TRUST ME! (it may have happened)
So, I had a root canal today. Ouch! Painful! I was sobbing! I think after this I'm going to go to bed. No, just kidding! I started by leaving music class 15 minutes early! Yes! Then when I got to the dentist office he started. I barely felt a thing! Maybe that's because my tooth was mostly dead (who's seen Princess Bride?!) While he was doing the root canal I felt the drill, I felt the wire thingy that he stuck up my tooth, but (Meesh, this may shock you!) it didn't hurt! It tickled! Well, I'm glad that my teeth are back to (kind-of) normal. Now I can just live a normal life! Ha ha ha!
Why NOT do random things? Correction from last post:
I will ALWAYS do random things!
As one of the required Jr. High classes I have to take music. Personally, I think that it's very boring. I used to be in the very back and in the middle. Since I was far back I figured I wouldn't get caught if I did my Algebra homework. I never did! (Aren't I terrible!) My mom said it was OK! At least I'm not sluffing! He then moved me a row forward, the third row. I had to be a little more cautious, but I could still work. Then he moved me again! I'm now by the wall, which I don't like, and in the front! I guess no more homework. Dang it!
(I'm new at this blogging thing, today's my first day. I didn't want only one post, so I wrote something random. I'll try not to do it again! Ha Ha Ha!)
Of course you are wondering about my strange title. I chose this for a few reasons.
1) I am a fan of the muppets and have the CD.
2) This is the question that has baffled mankind through the ages.
3) It (in my opinion) is funny. But maybe that's just because I am "weird" and listen to the Muppet CD.
You probably won't get this unless you have heard the CD or song, but in one of the songs Kermit the Frog says, "Now is time to answer that question that has baffled mankind through the ages, namely, Can the Frog Tap Dance?"
So, you can still think that my title is strange, but at least you know why I chose it.
