Last Day of September

But it's also the Chinese Moon Festival (zhong qiu jie)!!!!! I had made mooncakes in Chinese class but I somehow ended up losing them so somebody either threw them out or got eight really delicious and beautiful mooncakes for dessert....
Tonight's also the harvest moon and my mom and I are going to have a  bonfire tonight! So that will be fun!
I have not been productive like I planned, other than getting my chemistry homework done. I still have to finish my algebra homework (which I do not understand on any level) and study for my principles of engineering test.
The only thing I can say I'm really productive in this weekend was reading and text coding a book called The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by some dude I can't remember the name of at the moment. It's actually a really good book so that's what I've been doing (besides eating so much unhealthy stuff). I should work out a bit today, maybe go on a run, but it looks cold out and all my winter stuff is downstairs....
The trees have finally turned yellow/red.
There was a spider in my bathroom just now. I killed it, but it surprised me because that's the last thing I expected to see walking into the bathroom to grab a kleenex.
My puppy is totally being a bum right now. XD She's laying on our recliner with her paws sticking out further from her  nose. It's soooooooooo cute!

This is the cuteness I live with every day. Bet your jealous now. XD

Oh I really need a life.

Which reminds me I'm going to go get the movie Pride and Prejudice tonight. It's the Keira Knightly version, not the Collin Firth, though both are really great. Don't judge.

Okay, I'm going to go eat something now. Talk to everyone later! Peace out home slices!

So far I know two people are reading this

One is practically my sister. We've known each other since second grade and are super tight. The other is a friend from my school who's a writer. She said she loved the blog so that's good! :3 So hi Hailey and Alaina!!!! You guys are all to amazing. :3
Hailey was actually first to comment on my blog. Kudos to her. I love her (in a non-creepy way).

I had a pretty awesome day other than the fact I only saw Klaus in one class today (drawing) but I missed math with him to do an awesome reading discussion on the book Divergent. I know Alaina's probably reading this and frowning and possibly screaming at me for mentioning that. XD
Deal with it Alaina.

Omg, I just realized....wait, Alaina, do you even know who Klaus is??? I hope you don't or this just got really awkward for me (I've never talked to Alaina about this stuff before!)...

But I'm stuck on math. I do not understand it. But I will figure it out. Oh and we made mooncakes today in Chinese!!!! That was so much fun! I will try to post pictures of them this weekend when we cook them. :3 They turned out beautifully.

We also got our class t-shirts which are crap. Just saying. Anyone could have made them better, and we all know that.
We also realize that the horrid shade of orange that is always on our shirt will haunt us for the rest of our high school years. I'll take a picture of my shirt later to show you guys. It's awful.

Okay, my school computer's about to die, so I'll talk to ya'll later!!!!

I learned how to add pictures :OOOO :3

I actually had a relaxed day today. That's a new thing.
In WHAP (AP World History) we talked and debated on topics relating to Greek civilizations. It was quite interesting. This is the first night in WHAP where I have less then ten pages of homework (I only have to read three. :D)
In English I got help on an essay and read more Lord of the Flies. Very...odd. I have to much fun in my English class. XD
Then in my engineering class we are almost completed with our compound machine prototype. Yay!
Then in my green technology class we are almost finished with our mini solar car and I can't wait to test them!
 After school today I had to miss art club to make a lip dub thing for tennis. I was a bit sad but I get to go tomorrow!
 The lip dub thing was actually a lot of fun. XD I danced with Coach Klemme's skeleton which she named Skelly.

Tomorrow I have drawing and my Chinese 2 class before lunch and then I have chemistry (oh god why!!!!!) but I get to skip math (which I'm a bit sad about-don't judge, I'm a nerd) and go to a book discussion thing and I get to discuss my most ever favorite book called Divergent by Veronica Roth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm way to big of a fangirl for Divergent, don't even get me started or I could waste the rest of your day talking about my love for Divergent and everything in it.

My mom's coming home tomorrow too! So I finally get to be back in my own bed (I do have a bed at my dads but he and my stepmom allow the world to sleep in it so I only sleep with one blanket on top of the rest)!!!!
And I get to see my baby (which is my dog who looks like a puppy and whom I've raised since she was, in fact, a baby, so I call her my baby).

You wanna see a picture of her???? Okay, here's my baby being her naturally bum self. XD


ISN'T SHE JUST SO CUTE?????????? Even my friends who aren't a dog person make an exception for ONLY her. That's how amazingly special she is. :3

Otherwise, this weekend if I don't post, it's because I'm actually being productive either doing a bit of homework, working on my story, or being a somewhat normal American teen. Oh my god the word normal is like...foreign to my finger tips. XD

Anyway, here's something pretty to look at.

*UPDATE* By the way people, you NEED to email me so I do NOT have to suffer by telling you about my pathetic life. Do it NOW. Email:

sweetberryfelix@gmail.com

Please do it now to ease my burdened soul...

This is a day late because I forgot to hit the pulish button.

Here I am on a Wednesday night, eating chocolate ice cream, rewatching episodes of Castle....now Revenge....life is good.
Except when you're addicted to blogs and tumblr like I am. I recently just got back on tumblr after months of abandoning it.
I'm even further in the blog posts for the blog Hyperbole and A Half (and you might find this a bit stalkerish, but I found my English teacher's blog. Did I already tell you that?).
Anyway, I finally got back into drawing! My art is turning out really well!

This will be a shorter blog considering it's late.

My mind is so short circuit right now,  I swear it takes all my effort to keep even ONE simple thought in my head. XD It's actually caused a lot of bad problems.

Omg, my crush is just too cute! He's amazing. His name is....

Klaus.

He's a year older than me an we only have two classes together (math and drawing) and I think he's watching me a bit too. :3
I've said I didn't want to date again in high school, but I'd make in exception for him...I hope he never sees this. That would be bad unless, well...you get the idea, LET'S MOVE ON.

I need to get started writing my story. I haven't had any time to work on it...well I've had the time, but I've chosen to use it to do other things.

Okay, I seriously need to go to bed before I die. XD I'll try to post something better in the next day or something. Forgive me the few people who actually read this.

OMGZ I FAIL

 I wanted to bake this an everyday blog right? I missed yesterday! Then again, it was like the first night I actually finished all of my homework before eight o'clock at night. That's also due to the JV tennis season being over. But seriously, I wasn't prepared to spend my one free Monday night writing about my life to you people who HAVE viewed this blog and are actually following it.
No, instead I decided to go read one website that I was talking about yesterday. But this has been all I have read in the past two days (Don't. Judge.) and I can't stop. I'm addicted.

But I started writing a post yesterday morning... I'll let you read it but I will blog something more important about my pathetic day after...

9:08 a.m.-So I'm sitting in my drawing class, first hour. I've finished all my artwork and my writing analysis. I have homework I could do I just don't understand it. So far I've had 26 page views in two days!!!! That is actually an exciting deal for me. Don't judge. Some of my friends are in this class. But I'm not as close to them as I am to my friends at my old school. The person I'm probably closest to in this class is Letty (that is not her real name).
So nobody has posted yet. I don't know if you have to be on blogger.com or not to post, but if you are and your not posting you must enjoy listening to my life. XD
Last night I showed my mom this.

http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html

Then I started reading that person's other stuff. But it's freaking hilarious. I should do something like that but then I'd be fearing copyright stuff. XD
Next hour I have Chinese. I'm in my second year. I'll answer the inevitable question that, for me, it is NOT hard. In other people's cases they fail epically at it.
I just realized something...

I only painted my nails on my left hand.
That's what I call bad time-management.
Oh god  I fail at life.
People are going to think I'm a retard. XD Oh well.
I'm going to read that Hyperbole and a Half stuff. It amuses me.

 -Now we should come back to actually today.
Yeah, okay, so this morning I went to this club meeting at our school for the sisters club. For homecoming all the sports and clubs are doing some sort of lip-sync dub of a song and so the sisters club song was, "Man, I feel like a woman!"
So after we choreographed in about ten minutes, we got filmed and as we were watching the playback I realized I was having WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to much fun dancing. I was jamming and my singing sounded horrible thanks to bad quality video cameras and the fact I still have a cough.
But I realize that I was like jumping all around while dancing and everybody else kinda stayed grounded...
So on the right side of the video you see me looking like a complete spaz.
And they are showing this.
To. The. Entire. School.
At. Homecoming.

I'm. Going. To. Die.

BUT~
Today in English we were told we'd have to use anadiplosis (which for you people is basically words used at the end of a sentence repeat and the beginning of the next sentence) in a writing essay.
I will help you understand more as the story continues. Be patient with me, I go into precise details in some of these stories.
So we're chilling and I remembered something.

Anadiplosis comes into play in the song Glad You Came by The Wanted.

TO MY CREDIT, I HAD FIGURED THIS OUT THE FIRST TIME I LISTENED TO THIS SONG. I just didn't know the correct term for the words was anadiplosis.

For those who still haven't figured it out, read the lyrics and maybe it will click for ya'~

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away,
Away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

 Amazing isn't it!!!!?  These are the moments I live for.
To some people's benefits, my English teacher played the song to help some of the other kids understand and from what I  understand she played that song to all the other classes.

My reaction to this was..."I AM A GENIUS."

I actually went up to her and told her she should give me extra credit. She seemed to consider it for a second then laughed and said, "Haha, you're so smart."
I don't care, it was worth the fact that I was the first and only person in all the English classes who actually recognized that there was an anadiplosis in the song.

Otherwise my day was pretty boring after that.

I'm trying to think of ways to freely promote this blog. Any ideas?

Email me: sweetberryfelix@gmail.com with ideas or if you just want to say hi. Either works with me. Or if you are someone random following this blog by some weird coincidence and actually want this blog to succeed. I think I would die if I found out someone who is NOT my friend was following this blog. It'd be the greatest accomplishment of my life so far. That sounds disappointing, I know, but it's not for me.

Well, I better get started on my homework. Enjoy the day dahrlings!
Every day is a crazy life.

Here's the Deal (Post 2)

I know my first post had lots of grammar problems and was all of the place, and I apologize. I'm a very energetic person who writes what comes up in her mind the instant it happens. I usually don't reread what I write either. So dearest apologies.

Along with that, again, I should point out the whole point of this blog:
1) To discuss teen topics (because that's what I am, a teen!)
2) To involve not only my school friends, but kids around the world, to talk about events happening around them and their views on it all (which I would post in a blog post)
3) The topics can be about anything and I don't want hate mail going back and forth. I'm okay with debates as long as I don't see things getting too heavy
4) At one point there will probably be a blog post on something that you HATE. Get over it. We're all different and even if our views are different we should feel free to have a say in our opinions and not be judged
5) Let's try to keep this blog fun! Let's keep it optimistic! I understand having bad days but I do not want pessimists ruining the mood! Keep it real, but keep it happy!
6) This blog is just starting out and will need time to grow. I have it all planned out in my head so for awhile, I'd appreciate it if you could work with me as this blog grows. :D
7) I'm all out for ideas! Don't hesitate to give your opinion! But be respectful.

That's all I can think of right now. XD But seriously, I want this blog to go viral and I want to talk to kids all around the world. I want to know what's on your mind. I don't want to keep posting about my life, and I'm sure you'd get annoyed with me after awhile. Besides, it's not as interesting as you would think. But until I actually get people commenting, I will do just that. Please don't make me suffer. XD

Also, feel free to ask questions. I will try to answer them as best as I can!
Otherwise I will leave you with two quotes:

As I grow to understand life less and less, I learn to love it more and more.
-Jules Renard

The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live.
-Elbert Hubbard

Remember, that no matter where we are, it's a crazy life.

1st Post

Okay so I've just started this blog (obviously) and in a way, I hope it becomes really popular. I know I'm just another one in seven billion people out in this world, but I hope that through this blog, I can make a difference, even if it's just one persons life.
So, getting off the serious stuff I got in a fight with my mom today and am now stuck in my room for the rest of the day as punishment. XD Actually she took me out for brunch, I guess she got over it. I'm sitting at the foot of my bed, supposed to be doing homework, which, I'm kind of flipping back and forth through my AP World History book and this blog. I've still got another twelve pages to go before that is done. After that I still have math, chemistry, and principles of engineering homework. For the life of me I can not find it to like chemistry. All we're doing is preparing to write paragraph formats for the ACT so they're pretty much perfect. It's not only that but we have to do all this other boring stuff and I'm serious when I say I think one of the dumber kids in my class is going to somehow kill me in an experiment.
Math is fine, I mean it's algebra, but when I learn something new in algebra I always need the teacher to explain it all to me or I don't understand it. So that means another day going in to get help. I feel stupid sometimes. XD Besides my math teacher is a nice guy, he's pretty funny too. My friend Abby is in that class and sits right next to me and that was probably a horrible thing that happened because Abby and I mess around with our calculators and we learned how to use letters to write to each other on the calculators. XD And there's a cute guy in that class. He's a year older than I am and dresses really nicely. XD Seriously, he wears like, a suit every other day. I doubt he'll ever read this, that's why I'm putting this on here.
Principles of Engineering is, yes, and engineering course. I'm an oddball and have wanted to be an engineer since I was like, twelve. But this class is KILLING me. It's all physics and that is the one science class I completely FAIL at. I never passed a single test with anything higher than a B the one summer I spent taking that horrible course. Then again, the teacher never really explained it all to us, and nobody else did really well on the test, either. I think the only reason I haven't dropped this class is because we have the most interesting conversations....I won't go into the details at all, it might scare you.
Right now I'm listening to some songs. I have a very wide taste for music. I listen to bands like Rascal Flatts to Black Veil Brides. I listen to foreign bands such as Sick Puppies and SHINee. I will probably always mention a favorite band of mine in each blog post.
Oh, I've also got to mention that I use the 'XD' face WAY to much.
I might post again tonight but I will leave you with some inspirational and funny words. :)

I enjoy long romantic walks....

To the fridge.


Every day is a gift. That's why they call it the present.
-Hailey Strohm (a.k.a. one of my close friends)

Please, go enjoy the rest of your lovely Sunday on September 23rd, 2012! And remember, no matter what age we're at, it's a crazy life.
