random/orthodontist stuff

hey people. i'm actually getting around to posting!

so today i went to the orthodontist. i had to get impressions, which wasn't that bad. i did get a mirror jammed up into the roof of my mouth so the lady could take pictures, though, which was a little painful. then i got the impression stuff on my cheeks (kinda weird and random!). they have a counter in the hallway with two sinks and so i went out there so spit out all the extra pink goo (this is so lovely, right?!). there was a kid standing there brushing his teeth (looking normal, unlike me), and we stared at each other awkwardly and he watched my look like an idiot. great stuff, right? i would have preferred nobody seeing me, but whatever. and then i came home and did school. and i have not read my wonderful books yet today! oh my, something is wrong! i'm almost finished with the first series, which is pretty terrible. there are two other series, though, so all the awesomeness isn't over yet! =)

what not to wear is on tonight. (you needed to hear that - along with all the other pointless nonsense in this post.)

i decided to post some songs i like. hope ya enjoy.

Wasting Time

Prepare yourself for a goofy post. A random post. A long post.

I've been lazy. Ok, more like I had nothing to post. I mean, life has basically been filled with volleyball (TONS of it), tiredness, Wednesday classes, bruising my knees in volleyball, neon, being completely confused in band, the bestest (yes, I know that's not a word) books ever, and neon. Oh, and also dread for tonight's game and next week's practice. Sorry for all of the excuses, but I can't help being busy, right?


So now it's time to waste some time on this silly little blog of mine.

I found some story I had to write for school once. I wrote it when I was eleven. It's ridiculous and I believe I hated having to write it. Here's a little from it. It was supposed to be something about a kitten living with a family of ducks.


One day the ducks found a pile of corn. They all started eating it – all except for the kitten. “Why do you eat that stuff?” he said to one of the ducklings. “It’s good,” she replied. “Try it.” “No thanks,” the kitten said, sitting down and watching ants running in and out of their home. “That just looks disgusting,” he said to himself.

            The next day, while they were all in the barnyard, the kitten spotted a mouse. He crouched down and crawled toward it. “What are you doing?” one of the ducklings said behind him. “Shh,” the kitten whispered. “Be very, very quiet. I’m hunting mice.” “What?” the duckling looked confused. “Don’t be silly,” the kitten said. “Mice are just about the best thing to eat – well, other than fish.” “That’s…uh…interesting,” the duckling said, waddling away.

Oh my. That was silly. Oh my. I did not claim to be a fabulous writer, did I?

Well, I just found a story I wrote a long time ago. Oh my goodness, this may top them all. It's extremely silly (as you can imagine). Like the part where a seven-year-old wants to be called "Bob" instead of "Bobby". Wow, I probably that that was funny. What was I thinking? Nothing, apparently.

And let me just say: I love the Dragons in Our Midst books! I know, I've said it before, but seriously. I'm barely into the first one, but they are really good. The first day I started reading one, I was just like, "That's so cool!" - Which I don't really remember ever saying about a book. I typically just squeal or say, "That's sooooo adorable!" (I'm kind of cheezy like that.) I don't really know why I said the books were "cool"....ok, because they are. 

Tonight is our first home volleyball game. Yikes.

Things I'm Loving // September 14



Books:
Dragons in Our Midst by Bryan Davis. These are fantasy books, which I had my doubts about, but these are GREAT! I am only on the first one called Raising Dragons.

Music:
What I listen to changes everyday, but today it's Anthem Lights. My favorite songs by them are Circles, Just The Way You Are (yeah, I know, they didn't make up that song, but they sing it), In the Light, and Can't Shut Up. I haven't listened to all of their songs yet.

TV Shows:
What Not to Wear! DUH. Sadly, they don't have any new ones, but I watch the old ones. Look at this blog. Kryn and I did something like this once. It was SOOOOOOO FUNNY!

Have a great day!

XOXO,
Emily
