It is Yom Kippur in a few hours, so I just want to ask forgiveness from everyone on my friends list if I ever did or said anything to offend anyone! And for those fasting, have an easy and meaningful fast and I hope you have some yummy foods for the breakfast tomorrow night! (we have Entemmen's!)

Today I was in Macy's and I saw CROSSWORD PUZZLE SNEAKERS. Now, you have to understand, my parents and some of my friends are REALLY into the daily NY Times crossword puzzle - and so am I. I love it. I find it relaxing to come home at the end of the day and just sit there doing the crossword. It's also tons of fun when you're out and talking about ( Read more... )

Holy shnikes, I nearly got ATTACKED in English class today because we were talking about how, in the middle ages, they believed in Unicorns and that Unicorn horns had healing powers, but that they were probably using the horns of rhinoceroses (thinking they were unicorn horns), so someone brought up Unicorns in Harry Potter and then I said, "that's ( Read more... )

Wow. Tonight was one of the most difficult and yet most meaningful nights ever. It took so much guts for me to stand up in front of all those people and basically pour my heart out to them about my teacher. And with basically no planning! And, oh gosh, I cannot believe I began my speech about Harry Potter - about how my teacher never got to read ( Read more... )

Wowzers! I just got FIVE happy birthday emails from Tumbling-After! Well, actually, Conrad Beecher, Malachy Smoth, Little Red Riding Hood, Jessie Collomor, and Christopher Healey ALL got wished a happy birthday! :D

I am twenty-one. 52 minutes ago, I became completely legal (well, except for renting a car, which apparently you have to be 25 for). I'm not quite sure I feel any different, but I think I DO feel a bit older, even though that's probably all psychological, because why should right now be any different from an hour ago ( Read more... )

I have just finished reading Northanger Abbey (by Jane Austen) and have decided a few things ( Read more... )

So for my Writing Children's Stories class, we have to bring in one kid's book we really like and one we don't. I don't really remember ever disliking a book at that age, so if anyone knows of any picture books that they really detest, let me know! Meanwhile, I'm putting up a poll of which good book I should bring in:

Tuesday, September 11, 2001.

It was a regular day of school. I don't think I had any tests that day, so I had nothing much to be anxious about. It was my friend's birthday and we were all celebrating on the bus ride to school. And since it was her birthday, that meant mine was only six days away. I was going to be fifteen, which was really getting ( Read more... )

We are having a memorial for my Latin teacher ON MY BIRTHDAY.  :(
