My oddly awesome skirt

So, yesterday I go to school. La la la la la. Happy day. Schooly school school.

I got three skirts over the summer, and I was wearing one of them. I walk down the hallway (La la la la la. Happy day. Schooly school school.) and people keep complimenting my skirt. I don't even know some of these people. But still. COMPLIMENTS!!!

BEST DAY EVER.

Oh yeah. . . new sites on the sidebar! Check it out!

I have an addiction. . . .

To what? Chocolate? Club soda? Murder mysteries?

No, but good guesses. My addiction is to. . . reading the next books in series that I despise. I can't help it. And whenever I don't read the book, I feel really guilty. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG. . . why does there have to be such annoying literature?!?!?!?!?!

I mean, seriously. I'll read the worst book EVER and read its sequel because I just can't help it. IT IS SOOOOOOO annoying.

In other news, only my little brother would receive two cards with hearts and flowers on them and "Dear Peter, I love you"s. Sigh, how we slightly envy the famous.

Perry has just lapped up a tablespoon or more of syrup. Shame, piddums.

We dressed out THREE times in three minutes on Monday. Please don't get confuzzled again, teacher dahling.

Apologies and Volleyball

Whilst attempting to play a sport with my peers (why is there no solitaire of the sport world?) I found myself in the lovely situation of apologizing over and over again. As reflex. Confound you, etiquette. I don't mean to be annoying.

I've left my athletic shoes on in order to inspire me to exercise. Good luck, shoes. Ah well.

The other fifty percent of my time is spent running after the volleyball. Why does it have to be round?

I fail to see how it differs whether I fail while participating or when I fail without participating.

Roses and Thorns

Today was the first day of my church group. We had to give a good thing--rose--and a bad thing--thorn--about our day/week. Pretty self explanatory, yes?

Leader: "Emma?"
Me: "My rose is that my siblings have been having a good school year so far and last year they didn't, so that's really happy and they leave me alone when I do my homework."

*pause*

Me, cont: And my thorn is that I've had to speak today.

*awkward pause*

Yeah, I'm such a good contributor.

Vampire Teeth

I have noticed an abundance of fake vampire teeth on our school grounds. Thus said, I asked my dear teacher to explain this odd phenomenon.

To which she replies: "Those are mouthguards, Emma."

Oh, how I loathe you, sports. You foil me every time.

Some of us have to chase after stupidity; others just sit and stupidity comes to then. And then, to quote my dear friend Selina, "Some of us make stupidity look fabulous."

Labor Day-- last day of summer or first day of autumn?

Let's take the moment to look outside and say. . .

ZOMG THAT IS FREEZING OW OW OW OWWWWWWWWWWW HYPOTHERMIA WHY ON EARTH WERE OUR WINDOWS OPEN LAST NIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Please don't look so perplexed. 'Tis true. It's September. A bit too early for hot chocolate. But I made it anyway. Why? Because it's freezing! Technically, nothing has actually frozen. But still!!! Cold! A whole sixty degrees!

Remember when that was warm to us? This has led me to believe that, in fact, Labor Day is not the last day of summer but the first day of autumn. So we should celebrate in a fit manner. However, because my dear mother has just pointed out that we do not yet have any autumn food, we should have a big USING UP SUMMER FOOD! party.

I'm off and about. Aloha.

L'heure de le chatton impoli!!!
