So enrichment has started again, and I’m taking the following classes. Ahem. Cooking, first hour[with coach Polly who is a chef and it is going to be a fun pickle class], Speech, second hour[not my choice, I was forced], and a study guide to the Fellowship of the Rings, third hour. I’m only really taking fellowship because it was, honestly, the only class I could take third hour. Movie making was being offered again third hour, and because it takes so much extra time besides just class time, and we are so busy right now with school and basketball, mom told me and Jeremiah we couldn’t take it. Mainly because we don’t have the extra time. Something that bugs me about the movie making class this year is that all the parents kind of whined about how much extra time it took, [last year people kept calling my mom about it and she wasn't even helping in the class] and told my mom they weren’t going to let their kids take it, and whoop dee-do, just about everybody is taking it. It kind of frustrates me that I'm the one who gets the bad end of the whole deal, me and Jeremiah and Katie. But I’m not complaining. Cause me and Katie are gonna have par-tah’s without ya’ll, so there. So yeah. I’m in the hardest class this year with my friends, and no others. I have Katie and Kelci in cooking [whoa that was weird] and then I have all my peeps besides kelc in speech. *sighs* figures that the hard class ends up being the one with the most friends.

For cooking, coach Polly gave us a challenge of drinking nothing but water until next Friday and I’m like AHHHHHH!!!! I don’t drink a lot of soda and stuff but I am missing my coffee. Really badly. I still drink tea because hey, tea is just water with greenery in it right? Right. It’s still water. HA!

So here be the songs that I’m stuck on this week:

1. Those Nights by Skillet

2. Far Away by Nickleback

3. Ask Me Now by Blindside

And Those Nights is a good song. I really like it. Cool lyrics, catchy tune, good band. Doesn’t get much better than that. I’m completely stuck on that song. i don’t know about boys, but I know that with girls, when you find a song that’s just your song, one that you’re stuck on and can’t help but listen to again and again, it’s crazy good enough that it makes you want to cry. Now I can’t imagine a boy liking a song enough to cry over it[not a normal boy anyway…] but with girls that what a good song makes you do. It’s emotion-pulling/mind-boggling/spirit-lifting enough to make you sob. Weird? Yes. Extremely. But we can’t help it! So that’s your hint if you ever see a girl listening to her iPod and all of the sudden she drops to the floor and sobs. It’s most likely her song or she’s having a seizure.  But you might wanna check with her before you call 911.

So we journeyed to Dallas on Sunday and we got a new couch! WHOOP WHOOP! I’m happy. I love new furniture. And it smells so good!! Plus we reaaaaally needed a new couch. Heh, it was at the point of no return with our old one. I think it was like, 16 years old. Ew. The fake-smile lady that helped us started telling us about her son whose name is Trip. Yeah, that’s what I said. Trip. I wanted so bad to tell her “dude, that’s trippy” but she might have smacked me with her evil looking-notebook. so I didn’t. she was hilarious. I wore my x-hi chucks that day and skinny jeans and my stripped hoodie and she told me I had a very cool punk look. Punk look? Ooooookay. I think she was impressed because we were talking about mattresses and she showed me two that they had and I told mom which one I like best and she was like “oh… you know what? You are… are you an artist?” I said no and she laughed and said “I just wondered because you just know exactly what you want and most kids now days don’t. almost no one picks that mattress, they all like the other one.[meet Danielle Frankland, lady. I’m not most people] you are just very artsy. I admire that! I like you…” and then she told me I had a cool punk look. I didn’t know whether to thank her or run for the car. She was nice though. Just a little eccentric. It didn’t take much to imagine her in a white lab coat, hair flying everywhere, holding a beaker of some smoking concoction, shrieking “I have done it! I HAVE DONE IT!!!!!”

I’m gonna be 16 in 13 days! Yay! I had a dream[excuse me while I burst into a Les Miserables moment] and in it I woke up on my birthday and unplugged my phone from my charger and it had a new message and when I listened to it, it was Mackenna and Hannah and everyone in Mackenna’s family and everyone in Hannah’s family [yeah all together. You know how many people that it???] singing me happy birthday. And they had called at exactly midnight. It was the coolest thing! I remember thinking, I love these people! It was so sweet. –Wipes a tear and hopes you didn’t see her do it- so I woke up wanting to give them both big hugs. And all their family. It was funny because after they sung everyone left a little message for me, like one at a time. I’m talking everyone in their families. Like uncles and aunts and cousins I didn’t even know! They all left me a message about turning 16 and how I was such a kind young lady and they were so happy that I was a part of their lives and I had never met these people. . It was hilarious and cool. Oh, and I had cake for breakfast. Then I woke up. =}

Life is good. Hope everyone is happy and content… keep cool guys. And hey! Those of you that know me and have Twitters need to get me your names so I can follow you! I need more friends on that thing. So get me your usernames peoples. Catch’ya later.
