...
Well, there was ANOTHER school massacre, in the Virginia Tech university. From what my mom told me, this has to be the worst school shooting...ever.

God bless their souls.

The music on the news relating to the incident is scaring me. O_O

Today in Art--I finally finished my glazing; and I guess that means I'm finished with the clay unit (until the test; duhn, duhn duhhhhhn).
We're running low on clay right now, so today was the last day, anyway...

Tennis--Oh...boy. We had an amazing day today! ^0^
We played mainly Winner, and we stayed on court 1. Guess what? The top three people with the highest scores could ride back in Coach's car. XD
Kirby got 24(5), Stevie (23 I beleive?), and I got 21. So, as we had the highest scores on our court, we got to go in Coach's nice, sweet, awesome van and drive back instead of having to run. XD
I was a little scared that we'd be tardy, and that we wouldn't make it back on time, even though everybody reassured me that'd we be fine.

Guess I worried for nothing, 'cause we got back okay and on time. XD
I think I was just plain excited.

I love the high school courts. ^_^
Also, I've been thinking about this for a while, but I don't think we'll have another oppertunity to play on the junior high courts again. :(
I mean, it's the middle of April, for crying out loud! And they seem to take forever to upgrade those courts...
So, we may not be able to use them; but that's just my idea. :(
It's quite possible that I could be wrong too, of course.

Continuin to Science--We watched a Bill Nye video over the Water Cycle. Of course, it was funny. :P
Then we were supposed to draw the different cycles we were studying that were most likely to be on the TAKS test (ON THURS. O_O) but we didn't get to finish. Thank God. -_-

In Pre-Algebra, we did clickers (again). Our teacher got mad at Lee (not ROCK Lee, thank heaven. :D) because he kept on interrupting us with his dumb sounds FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME! This time was the last straw; she got him to the priciple's office. O_O

*shudders*

I have NEVER gotten detention, or been sent to the office unless it was for a notice; nothing bad. But that kid seriously needs to learn when to clown around and when NOT to! ><

In English, we went over vocabulary words and a worksheet.

In Computer Lit. we watched a video over rollar coasters...whih kinda of scared me, because they actually meantioned 'death.' O_O
Still, I'd still like to ride one...at least once!

In American History, I worked on my Ch. 12 foldable (and I didn't finish... <_<
for some reason, 8th period moved by REALLY quickly. O_O)

Tommorow is the start of the TAKS test.

DUHN DUHN DUUUUUUHHHHN!! *thunder and lightning sounds*

Well, I just have to remember everything I learned, use my tools and my head, eat a good, healthy breakfast, and go to bed early. No sweat.

I'm just afraid of the TAKS Math test. O_O

I'll just have to do my best, I guess...><

Oh, and here is a funny Naruto AMV with Dane Cook talking about 'being late for work' XD
Trust me, it's hilarious! ^_^

Blank, blanky, and blank-er.
Well, there really isn't much to say, right now.

I slept like a log; I didn't wake up until 8:30, mostly because I watched TV in my parents' bed with my mom, and we didn't go to sleep until way past 11:00 PM...
But, that sure was one sweet nap! :P
As a result, we missed Sunday school; but I personally like regular church. Sunday School just really isn't as enjoyable to me anymore, for some reason. I guess I'm just scared around my peers.
*Sigh* I miss Miss Anne. :(

Today at church, our pastor finally discussed what my dad had wanted him to talk about for a long time: The second coming of Jesus! ^0^

And I paid close attention today; because, after all, the time is nigh.

We also got Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest today. XD
Now we have both the first AND second movies! We'll be seeing the third one this summer, of course. :P

Today, I'll be finishing that book that my mom checked out for me about the Civil War, and then I'm free from being forced to read those books! XD

Then I can read whatever my heart desires! I haven't been at a bookstore since...oh, forever. And I really, REALLY want to look at that new Bionicle Atlas...

Anyway, I think maybe I'll start a new freewebs site, so that my friends on BZPower can maybe post their comments there. It'd be nice, talking to them again on my own site.
The thing is, unlike this, is that I forget to update my blog. Oh well.
I'll see what I can do...



Okay, I'd say that this picture makes me think of ancient Greece. :P



I like the words to this...^_^



Erm, well, that's it today...^_^

Bible...RPGs...LEGO...anime...animals...it's all good! ^_^
Today was...boring. O_O
Nikki's here, but he's playing with Kogatana.

AH! I hear tap-dancing! :D
Oh, my parents are watching the Lawrence Welk show. :D

Anyway, I did a couple of edits on a couple of Naruto pics I found from the anime...
which were actually quite fun, doing...:3



and



and



and finally



...

So I was bored! Big deal! <_<
And I like doing edits; they're kinda fun. ;_;



Um...well, that's pretty much all I can think of. Today, I'm just spending most of it playing The Academy on the BZP forums...

Right now, Alta's pretty much 'tied up' at the moment, as she is a target for a bounty. XD
It's going to be fun (will my character get kidnapped, or will her hero and friends save her?!)

Bye!

TORANDO!!! O_O
I'm not kidding; there's a huge tornado around the Dallas area right now! And from what they're saying on the news, it may very well come to my area! O_O

So, I'd better hurry up here...

In Art, we continued glazing (I finished my second tile, and am now glazing my 'coconuts')

In Tennis, we played Winner, and I did a pretty good job! ^_^

In Science, we went to the PC Lab.

In Pre-Algebra, we did more clickers.

In English we graded our TAKS packet; I only missed 3 out of 48. :3
Thing is, we DID those topics already, before Winter Break! :P

In Computer Lit. we worked on animations, but my computer was being mean.
At least I moved up to 11th in the stocks market...thing.

In American History, I finished my vocab.

And that's pretty much it.





...

I can't help it, I love young Team Kakashi! :3

Anyway, I'm a little scared right now, so please pray for me and chibisasukelover so that we'll be safe during this tornado, along with our families and friends. O_O

Seriously, I'm afraid right now. Tornadoes are the scariest things here in Texas. I've never seen one yet, but even now I don't want to experience it.
We were so close last tme... *shudders*

Kinda a coincidence, being Friday the 13th, anyway. :P

Hurry up!!!
Well, I should hurry up typing this, 'cause my mom's going to get flippin' mad in sec--

In Art, I finished my tile of Kakashi! :3
Now to work on the second tile of the Cross and the...erm...coconuts. * looks around innocently *

In Tennis, Kirby and I were partners this time, and we kinda sucked. But, hey, at least we won by one point. Heh heh heh...yeah. ^_^;
I have to admit though, valerie and candace are...um...um...I don't want to sound mean or anything, but, um...*coughsslowscoughs*

In Science, we reviewed for TAKS.

In Pre-Algebra, we did clickers for TAKS.

In English, we did a TAKS practice packet; yeah, everything here this week's mostly going to be about TAKS. Oh, and the TAKS packet, I discovered, had the same stories and questions from the practice TAKS test we had before Winter Break! It was so recognizable, I actually knew most of answers and got to finish. ^_^

In Computer Lit. we did backgrounds and worked on creating buttons. Awesome.
Oh, and I finally saw the carnage picture (the one with the lion and zebra) It wasn't THAT horrible! I mean, sure, it had the zebra's side ripped open so that you could see all its tissues and organs and stomach, but it wasn't bad. I showed brandi, and of course she said, "Eeeeewww!" XD

In American History, we tested over Ch. 11, and I KNOW I did well. XD
The tests are always easy!

Well, hopefully Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix will be released here in America. If it's Japan-only, I'll throw a fit for sure! ><

Here's the vid I said that I got mad about, a little bit. It's actually very sweet, I admit it, but the only thing I was angry about was when Roxas first appeared in Twlight Town and was given his new name andwhen Axel talked to him. <_<



And here's the seocnd part of the Chain of Memories game for the PS2, in Japanese, respectively.





A very cute young Team Kakashi picie. Aw! :3

May I take your order?
Ah, it's beautiful, warm, sunny day today, and here I am, bored.
But, at least I don't have a lot of homework. ^_^

In Art today, I got further on my tiles. I'm not completely finished just yet, though. <_<

In Tennis, we played doubles. We lost BIG time, but some of our partners were a little bit slow today...<_<

In Science, we finished our notes and studied for the Science TAKS test next week using flash cards.

In Pre-Algebra we went over dialation.

In English, we discussed an old poem that we were given, and I only got ONE questions wrong. ONE!!! :P

In Computer Lit. we were shown this new program. Everyone kept on saying that there was this picture there, of a lion and a zebra (or something like that) and that it was bloody gorey, but I couldn't find it. I can't help but wonder what it looks like. *snicker*

In American History, we did our review for Ch. 11, and we have a test TOMMOROW.
Luckily, I was able to stay awake the entire day. ^_^

I sometimes daydream in school, though. ^^;

BTW, we got Kingdom Hearts II on Sunday.
One word: AWESOMENESS!!! :D
I like playing as Roxas the best, partly because I sympathise him and Axel (I mean, they were good friends, werent' they?)
And it seems so far that it has much more dialouge than the first one, and that makes me happy. :D

Yesterday, I found on Youtube a special video of the Englis version of Kindom Hearts II Final Mix. However, the subtitles were in Japanese. Now, normally, this would have not bothered me, because I could just listen to the voices and easily ignore the subtitles, BUT--!

The part with Sora fighting Roxas was fine. Voices in English, subtitles and words in Japanese kanji. Fine by me. At least I was udnerstanding what was happening.

At one part, when Roxas first appeared in Twlight Town and was given the name 'Roxas,' THERE WAS NO VOICE! ><
Man, why do the Japanese use kanji?! Why can't they just have regular letters, like the Spanish, French, Romanians, or even us Americans?!
Then it showed a view of Organization member Roxas, sitting on the top of that clock building, and then Axel appears in talks to him; again, no voice, just kanji.
This made me so mad, because that was practically what I wanted to listen to; now I couldn't understand ANY of it! ><

*Sigh* If they DO ship out Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix here in America, I am DEFINETLY getting it!!!

Anyway, for now, I'm going to put up some vids on the new Playstation version of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. It's in the original Japanese, but the subtitles have been edited in English, so the story can be understood.
If I'm correct, it should be shipped out in America probably this fall...



Well, that's it for today! Ciao! :D

The horror!
Bummer; the state test is next week. <_<
And, being in the 8th grade, we'll be doing Science AND Social Studies this year. I passed my practice tests with flying colors but...
well, the real thing just isn't the same as the practice tests! ><
I hope I do well; of course, this will be the last year that we are allowed to pass into the next grade even if we fail, however, it will also mean that we will have to take tutorials for the test during next year...so passing the TAKS test this year is VERY important right now.

But, hey, I'll go to high school! ^_^
Actually...I'm not TOO excited about it, though.

Uh, let's see...
Today in Art, we began glazing our tiles. I had to wait until the rushing crowds disappeared around the glaze paints so I could get the colors I needed (unfortunetly, most of them were taken by the time I got there.)
I commented that the clay tiles, when fired, was a bit heavier (I guess I was afraid that someone would 'accidentally drop' my tiles, and they break into thousands of pieces) O_O

In Tennis...well, we didn't have Tennis today, because it was wet. ^_^;
So, I read from my library books (I got Redwall, and book based on King Alfred's daughter)

In Science, we took notes. The 7th graders were previously doing sheep-eye dissections in the classrooms, so everyone in the next period complained that it stunk. Not me, because, well, when you're just recovering from a cold that you got on a cold Saturday, and you were unable to dry your hair, so you pretty much get sick, you've pretty much lost your sense of smell.

Lucky, lucky me. ^_^
Now I'm atcually GLAD I was sick today (although much better; I wasn't coughing or sneezing as much.)

In Pre-Algebra, we went over the Pythagorean theorem.

In English, we went over the TAKS English booklet we were given (I missed five out of, what, thirty-something?)

In Computer Lit. I was the only one with permission to do any of the extra options besides typing, because I was the only one who reached my goal, but I typed anyway. Practice makes perfect! :P

In American History, we took notes about Andrew Jackson and then had a short quiz on the chapter. 'Course, I made a 100. :D

Eh, well, that's pretty much it. ^_^

Anyway, here's the newest vid of Fun with Akatsuki.
I swear that this video nearly scared me to death at the beginning! O_O



Heh heh. Poor Tobi. ^_^;

Ah, I love Lord of the Dance! Feet of Flames is my personal favorite, though, but both are great!

Today is Easter! :D
Today is Easter, where we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ! :D

And it turned out that it WAS snowing yesterday. Heh heh...may bad. ^_^;
I got so stubborn thinking it was sleet. :P

Anyway, it was terribly cold last night and I took a shower, but I couldn't find my hair dryer, so...I kind of got a cold. ^_^;
I woke up at about 4:00 AM, read from my Bible a bit, ate some crackers from my room, then went back to sleep until 8:00 AM. :P

After church, my sore throat was gone (praise the Lord! :D) but I'm sneezing like crazy right now. -_-

We went to Ryan's after church, but I didn't have a lot of variety (I had green beans, corn, two cookies, a couple of those delicious warm, soft rolls that I love so much, and a pancake with maple syrup) :D

I'm not going to put Naruto AMVs today, because this is a very special day today. So, happy Easter and remember that today is a reason to celebrate!



I found this cute Yoshi Easter picie. :P

It...is not...SNOWING!!! >
It is FREEZING today, and it'll stay in the 30s and low 40s all today. Then it started 'snowing' but I know that it's not snow; it' freezing rain! ><

Kogatana even admited it himself! ><

Oh well...nohing could take the place of those magical days of Friday the 13th of February 2004, and Valentine's Day. *sigh*
Now THAT's real snow!

Ah, and now for the AMVs!

Today I'm doing Kakashi! And I'm not even going to fan-girl scream! ^_^
At least some of us can control how we feel around guys...even if they are fictional. ^_^;

He's real to me, though! :P

Oh, yeah. I have to put down that while I was searching for AMVs, I came across two Kakashi AMVs that I really, REALLY liked. Even though Kakashi is my favorite Naruto character, though, I felt that it just wouldn't feel right if I only put two AMVs for one character, and only one for everyone else. <_<
Oh well, maybe I'll work it out eventually.

Now to the AMVs! ^0^





Oi...that second one has a stupid ending (but at least it has Kakashi's theme in it. :P)

Me~ And now, Kakashi, would you like to end today's post? ^_^

Kakashi~ * reading Icha Icha Paradise * Hm? What?

Me~ I said, would you like to end today's post?

Kakashi~ Okay. Thanks for watching, and have a terrific Saturday and a happy Easter! ^_^

Me~ All right! ^0^
So...um...can I read your book? *^_^*

Kakashi~ Sure...when you turn eighteen. ^_^

Me~ Sure! Only four more years! :D

Kakashi~ ^_^

Good Friday!
Today is the day where we Christians remember that Jesus Christ died for all of our sins.
Good Friday is a day of remembering.

Easter Day is where we REALLY celebrate. Get the picture? ;)

We are off today from school but we have to back on Mon.
It's disapointing, but fair, because we all had to stay home in Jan./Feb. due to bad weather conditions.

Nothing much is happening today besides that; it feels just like a Saturday, and I keep on THINKING it's a Saturday. ^_^;

I'll be happy when school's over.

For today's Naruto AMV character, I'm doing...Sakura today!

*cheers*

We need new cheerleaders. -_-



Me~ It is now Sakura's turn give the ending.

Sakura~ Thanks for watching, have a blessed Good Friday! ^_^

Me~ Now THERE'S at least one person who cares about religon and morals. :P j/k
