tye-dye

So Sunday we are going to the Butt's after church to tye-dye! YA-YAY-UH! This is really embaressing, but I have never tye-dyed. NEVER! So I'm kinda excited. I've got a shirt to do, a tank top, and socks. Heeheehee. I will wear them every day of my life! :D

And the song is Somewhere over the rainbow...becasue rainbows have colors...like tye-dye! Heehee! :D

"Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops. Away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me."

OMG GUESS WHAT?!?!? We just found ANOTHER black widow in our yard. My mom found this one when she was cutting down a little dead tree. It was hiding in the trunk. She SMASHED it with a shovel. Scaaaaaary spiderrrrrr! EEP! This one wasn't quite as big as the other...but it was still pretty giant!

Social Context

This week for literature, I have to write about the social context of Huckleberry Finn. I will be talking about the seperation and bringing together of people.

The story takes place around the abolitionist movement. As we all know there was much seperation around that time over the matter of skin color. In Huckleberry Finn, Huck has grown up with slavery so he doesn't really see what's wrong with it. But as he gets know Jim, he sees that skin color does not make someone different. When they run away on the raft, they are forced to spend all of their time together. Huck learns a valuable lesson that not many people in that day and time cared about. He learns that just because someone looks diferent, that does not make them lower than you. When Huck was struggling with the idea of turning Jim in, he realized that he would just be turning in a friend. Would he turn Tom Sawyer in if he ran away? No. So neither would he turn in Jim. It shows that even back then, people could put aside their differences and come together.

"The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice. I can say it ain't so, but darlin, what's the use? The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste. And that's where it's at. So run and tell that."

Makin up a song about Coraline...

So I watched Coraline today...again. Because that movie just never ever gets old. And I've got the song that the Other Father sings STUCK IN MY HEAD! It goes something like this...I'm not sure if it's exactly right...Teehee! :D

"Makin' up a song about Coraline! She's a peach, she's a doll, she's a pal of mine. She's as cute as a button in the eyes of everyone who ever layed their eyes on Coraline. When she comes around explorin' Mom and I will never ever make it boring. Our eyes will be on Coraline!"

I had an incredible weekend! On Friday I went to the PFO Halloween party. Here's me and my sis in our costumes. She was from the 80's and I was a 1920's flapper! :D

It was a ton of fun! Saturday me and Becca got to hang out wiht Erika and we had a PFO teen board meeting. It was great. And then Sunday, I got to meet my buddy! She is soo sweet. Her name is Molly, and she is the best!

That's basically my weekend. It was a good one!

"But the fact is everything today is thoroughly modern. Bands are getting jazzier. Everything today makes yesterday slow. Cars are getting snazzier. Men say it's criminal what women'll do. What they're forgetting is this is 1922!"

Fabric painted leggings for Becca's halloween costume with her. Mine is all ready. I even tried it on and such and it's fabulous. It's just too cool. :D And tonight is VEGAS WEEK on So You Think You Can Dance!! What!?!?! I'm a little excited. My life has been so busy and it's been so hard keeping up with school work.

I am sooo excited. Saturday is a teen board meeting, and sunday I get to meet my buddy! I can't wait. She seems like the sweetest little thing EVER! I just can't wait!! :D :D :D :D :D

Random song that JUST got stuck in my head.

"Popular. You're gonna be popular. I'll teach you the proper ploys when you talk to boys. little ways to flirt and flounce. OOH! I'll show what shoes to wear, how to fix your hair. Everything that really counts, to be popular. I'll help you be popular. You'll hang with the right cohorts, you'll be good at sports. Know the slang you've got to know! So let's start cause you have an awfully long way to go!"

Proof it. Yuck

After my crazy week last week, I am waaaay behind in school. Specifically Biology and Geometry. So I have to do two of everything a day now. Blech. I was cool with that, but geometry just started getting harder. PROOFS WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME!!! They are sooo hard. For anyone reading this who hasn't done geometry yet, enjoy algebra while you can. Geometry is something to be dreaded. It's so hard. Maybe it's just me. Idk.

"I'm not that smart. My siblings have been telling me that for years. That I'm not smart. We're schooled at home, they see who's bright. It breaks my heart. I'm not that smart."
