I really need to be better about writing in this thing! I've been really busy lately, mostly with UIL and orchestra stuff. At UIL we got all I's from all the judges, which is really cool considering pretty much all of the accidentals on one of our songs called The Gift were out of tune, LOL. I read the comments from the judges yesterday, and all of them were lower-strings-bashing. It was pretty funny though. In sightreading, Jordan had a little cello solo, which were commented on as "mind the rests" That was great too. We have another competition thing Friday, and a concert Thursday. But the cool thing is as soon as we get done with our competition, we get to go to Main Event. That should be pretty awesome. I have to be at school at 7:45, though. Erin's birthday is today (the other Erin, not me, LOL) she's turning 14! So everyone say happy birthday to Erin! Her b-day party was last night. We went bowling and then we watched The Princess Diaries. I think Michelle is Mia's evil twin or something, it's really scary - they act almost exactly alike. (Don't hurt me Michelle!) LOL and to all who are reading: I have two eyes, I counted them this morning. And I was merely helping Flounder over to the hamster's cage. And Will was way past the point of farting. I think he was in need of some laxitive or something. OK, now that I got that out, I should be going! I've still gotta get my stupid blog site up, LOL :) Bye for now!

Wow! I haven't written in a long time! I moved the site, LOL so if you're reading this at Pint Sized, skip on over to http://bitter-rain.tripod.com, there's a newer version there, plus the colors will probably match a little better. So, I guess I should mention some stuff that's been going on lately, and get all caught up. Or at least try, hehe :) Hmm..well, UIL is next thursday, and Ms. Moellering (orchestra teacher) has gone absolutely paranoid. I have to write a science fiction story for my reading class, and mine is stupider than fried pajamas. *thinks* I went bike-riding with Amy today, and we went over to get Michelle, and then we had to ride over to Michelle's dad's house to get Michelle's bike. When we got there, we found out the bike pump didn't work, but it was pretty funny trying to get the little nozzle on the bike and stuff. And then we went over to Jenna's house and invaded and stuff, and then I came home. And here I am. LOL :) I'll be going now, I've got a ton to do on the new layout O.o That and I have to get up early tomorrow, even though it's saturday.

YAY! *dances* I got me a brand spankin' new cello! It's so awesome! Its kind of dark brown, and I got a really awesome bow, so it sounds coolness! And the case is waterproof. I must've looked like the kind of person that gets stuck in the rain a lot :\ Either that or thrown in creeks..but anyways! I'm really tired..awake 'till 1 A.M. and up at 7! It wasn't my choice, really. I get to go to Decatur tomorrow! *twirls finger* Woohoo! (that was sarcasm, by the way..hope ya caught that!) Anyways, I'm leaving now, perhaps I will go to bed and then wake up later and get on IM! Muahaha! Tata!

Whee! I finished reading The Lord of the Rings last night! At 9:20 P.M., exactly! It was the best book I have ever read! (not that I've read a whole lot of books, but you get the idea) I absolutely loved it, and if you haven't read it, you'd better, otherwise you are seriously missing out! I had the weirdest dream last night! I don't remember much of it, but Pippin was there, LOL :D We were like friends or something, and we were running around and trying to find Jessy. Matt was there too. Odd :\ Anyways, yea! Another quiz! Whoopdiedoo!





You're the HREF tag- you need someone to lean on and take care of you. You can be shy but you shine in difficult situations.


I feel all warm and squishy inside, hehehe :) Anyways, the kitchen awaits, so I'd better go :\ Tata for now!

I just bought this huge map of Great Britain. This is no ordinary map, however! It has Ireland, too, and that's what makes it special! I have to find a place to put it, my walls are covered in Lord of the Rings posters and pictures of animals and stuff. Hehehe :) It's pretty awesome though! I got some Tolkien books that I've never heard of before. They're called The Tolkien Reader and Sir Orfeo and the Green Knight. I still have to finish reading Lord of the Rings. I'm almost done, woohoo! But then there's the appendix, and I wanna read that, too. Our kitties have to go visit the vet thursday. They're getting their shots and getting their teeth cleaned. I think they figured out that they have to go because they're being really well behaved. Most unusual. The vet's gonna think they're horses or wild pigs or something, they're so huge! They've been to the vet before, just a different one. We're switching the cats to the rat/gerbil doctor to make things easier. You'd think I live at a zoo or something. Well I do, sorta..especially if you count my sister. I need to put a sign on the door that says "Do Not Feed the Bear." Hehehe :) I wonder if my mom would let me..I'm gonna go now, I have to go find my cello tuner. I know it's in my room somewhere, LOL ;9

*edit* Aw, aren't these cute? I found them here:

My first real day of Spring Break! Yay! Hahaha :) We went birthday shopping for my dad today, his birthday is on the 14th. I saw all these really awesome DVDs at Best Buy that I've gotta get sometime. There was Merlin and Willow, a biography thing of J.R.R. Tolkien, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (of course, LOL) They had The Goonies, and a bunch of Sponge Bob shows (I'm pitiful, I know) and they had a Weird Al concert DVD, too! Hooray! I think that was all of them that I liked. They had these really tiny DVD players, too. I guess they're for your car or something, but they were cool none the less. I've gotta get out my violin sooner or later. I haven't picked it up in forever. I've been working a lot on cello, because we've got UIL coming up, and I've been taking lessons, too. We have to go eat lunch with this spawn straight off the face of Mars tomorrow. They're the Shaffers or something like that, my mom and dad's friends. Bleh! Anyways, I'd better go now, I wanna go outside before it starts to rain. Toodleoo!


*edit* I finished my little portfolio site, there's a link over on the side *points*

Guess what?! *wriggles in seat* My mom is finally letting me get my own cello!! I can't wait! We're going to look next saturday, even though I've known which one I want for the past month or so! Hahaha :) And Spring Break is here! Finally! No school for a week! YES! I got a couple CDs today, they're really pretty. One's celtic music, and one's something by Bach. Very awesome. I have to get three cello books for my lesson, too. I can't practice for a while, though, because last night I messed up my shoulder again pretty well. Actually, I dislocated it last year in gym, and so it gets hurt really easily. It sucks. But anyways! I'm working on a new part of my site, it's gonna be sort of a gallery thing of my artwork and "creations"...MUAHAHA! Phew, LOL anyways ;) I'm gonna go now, I'm gonna go work on my site!

Wow! OMG! I still can't believe it! And this won't make any sence at all, probably, but I'm going to say it anyways, so brace yourself! Weird Al's wife is a lady that works for my dad's ex-secritary! LOL, long, I know, but my dad called from Cali and said she might be able to get an autograph for me! Muahaha! How awesome is that! Oh, and I got my report card today too. It's not as bad as it could've been. My lowest grade was an 88 in science *puke, sounds of gagging* But yea, so I did pretty good overall. My mom said if I helped clean the garage (whoopdie doo) I could get a new bike, finally! My other one doesn't have any brakes and I bruised it up pretty bad when I ran into that mailbox. Oh yes, and did I mention I'm missing a wheel? That was the go-down-the-hill-run-into-the-brick-wall episode. So yea, I need a new bike! And after I get through tomorrow, Spring Break is here! Yay! I got all the stuff I need to do my language arts project. It's where you read a book and then put a bunch of stuff in a decorated box that represents things in the book, and you have to have a bunch of vocabulary and comprehension questions in there, too. I read The Two Towers, and I was one of the only ones that liked my book in my class. I got some clay and I just finished making a Gollum. I got a plastic flower for Samwise, because he's a gardener, and I got some felt to make little hobbit cloaks out of. I'm going to get a gold ring, and make a sword or an arrow or something, too. Technology is finally over until after break, thank goodness, but I still don't know when my cello lesson teacher is going to show up. Hopefully not tomorrow! I have the A-flat major scale, a real poop that one is! You have half position, then third, then fourth, then all the way back to second, then fourth again, and then second, and then fourth again. Whew! Yea, so um..it's a pain. That and my solo *groans* but if I get started on that we'll be here all day. So I'll just go now, LOL ;9 Tata!

Today was pretty awesome! Haha, well, except for the orthodontist appointment :\ I got out of technology, though, so it's all good. This guy at the orthodontist's office was such a jerk! He had to get back to work, and they were still working on his kid, so he went in and complained and stuff, and everyone went over to work on the guy's kid because he wouldn't shut up about how late he was going to be, and that made everyone else late -_- Did that make any sence at all? LOL, well anyways! And then we went to make an appointment for next time I had to come, and the lady got all phsycho on me because I didn't want to miss geometry (if you get a certain number of absences, you have to make it up at the highschool) and the appointment was a couple days before UIL, so I couldn't miss orchestra, either..that would just be stupid. She kept telling me that I signed this thing about how I'd have to miss school..I never signed anything. Anyhoo! Now I must go blog at TABA! I shall post later! *scoots off to other blog*

March 4, 2002


Woohoo! My first post! I'm so glad I finally got this up and running! Today was really really long, as usual..but at least next week is Spring Break! LOL! That just means this week will be never ending, though. Let me see..what else happened today? Nothing exciting..today was a Maroon day, so I had orchestra, science, geometry and language arts. Orchestra is fun, so it wakes me up in the morning, then I fall asleep in science, then the geometry teacher is really funny, so I'm usually pretty awake in that class, and language arts is just evil. I was pretty asleep today, though, because we had to read about Anne Frank. If you ask me, that would be a history class sort of thing..but unfortunatley the teacher doesn't care. I took this little quiz thing online and guess who I got??



Take



Yay! Elijah!! Hahaha :D Anyways, I'll be going now..I've gotta go do history homework :\ Happy joy *twirls finger* Toodleoo for now!

Yay! Another quiz thing! Lookie here:




I'm Elijah Wood as Frodo!

Sensitive, lucky, stylish, and forward-thinking, I'm the Frodo of the new generation.
