[09:15 am] My to-do list for today: clean my room, do my laundry, clean the bathroom, call Kate, do dishes, read Psalm 3 (I'm reading one
every day until I run out, which should be sometime late in May), call Ashley to talk, and eventually sleep. My parents are mean in the
sense that they won't let me sleep in past 9:00. Otherwise, they're okay.

[12:37 pm] I just finished cleaning my mom's bathroom. I swear I started at like 10:00 this morning. I need to get ready to go to the
mall (mentally prepare myself) to exchange some clothes that did not fit. Phew. I don't know how I am going to do this. I am already
exhausted and I have many things left to do today. I should call Kate.

[01:33 pm] I did get good stuff for Christmas, and I will eventually tell you about all that, but this is here because I need to post
something to let you know that the eclipse did not burn me up (or something stupid like that.) I am putting a list together of all my
Napster songs. Or, most of them anyway.

[08:04 am] !!!!! It's Christmas !!!!!

[09:33 pm] Merry Christmas. I have so far gotten a Rugrats watch (purple), a shirt from Buckle
(black sweater with colorful V's on it), 2 pairs of pajama pants from Old Navy, a pair of Tommy Hilfiger socks, and a Tommy H shirt.
Pretty good gifts. I only opened four. I'll open the rest tomorrow.
[12:26 pm] Tomorrow, Christmas Day, there is supposed to be a partial solar eclipse. Spooky!
[12:19 pm] This morning, before I went to church, I woke up singing the Twelve Days of Christmas song, wondering what the tenth and the twelfth
days held for us. Also I was thinking about the year that I turned five (1990) when we lived in Arizona. I remember lying on my parent's
bed going "I don't feel any older".. and suddenly I was shocked in amazement. My eyelids flew open. I remembered that the bed was a
waterbed, and I thought, "So cool!" I had forgotten that fact until today. I couldn't go back to sleep.

[01:25 pm] I made a list of cool domains the other day. Maybe you'll enjoy them.
[01:19 pm] It has been decided to go see Family Man and Ashley is coming with us. I talked to her on the phone for a bit today. She told
me that Andrew came over to her house yesterday evening, unannounced, with a single red and yellow rose. He told her that they were going
to the movies. I could only manage a squeaky "Awww." It really is very cute, and Andrew told me the other day that he is broke. But I
guess it does not matter. I didn't even tell him (nor did she) that yellow roses were her favorite flower.
[11:17 am] Today I am going to see one of the following movies: Family Man, Miss Congeniality, or What Women Want. It should
be fun. I'm going with my mom, and possibly a friend. My brother and dad will be at a Magic tournament.

[03:18 pm] You know that big red storm on Jupiter? My brother used to call that the Joop. And I'd like to give a big thanks to Encompass Blue for linking me a while ago. I've generated an extra 15 or 20 hits from them.
That's actually a lot for lil calapitter and me. But I believe I've made my point.
[02:50 pm] What a pretty little layout I've made. It's very simple, and I'm gonna like it this way. It's still very much grey-based
(which I love), but no longer tedious or colorless. Hey, that's Angela Lindvall on the side. And that's the sky on top, just in case
you've been inside too long and have forgotten. Yesterday I decided that I am going to try out for Winterguard next year. So Kris is
going to teach me stuff whenever she gets her flag that she can take home.

[2:12 pm] No school today, I'm not quite sure why. It snowed a little yesterday but it's no big deal, we already had like a foot on the
ground already. 11.4 inches, the guy on the TV said. An interesting note: This morning I woke up with only one sock on, and when I took that
sock off, I found a pink pearly sequin between my pinky toe and the "ring finger" toe. And I have a splinter in my left thumb.
Ouchies.
[11:14 am] How could you not love this?

[6:12 pm] This week sucks. First this, and then this! (PS. Yesterday I turned 15 and 9 months..)

[5:23 pm] I know I said that I wouldn't write, but I just had to say the following; excuse the huge type, too:

[11:42 pm] Hey, what's up people? I'm taking a week off of computer, so I won't be blogging. Sorry.

[4:09 pm] I was reading the Advice - Parent to Parent column in my newspaper and what I read really
shocked and disgusted me. A parent wrote "My 15-year-old daughter dyes her hair red with blue stripes and wears black lipstick. How can
we handle this?"
I personally would have written "How can we handle what? Just be glad that your daughter has courage enough to express herself. Celebrate
that she is an individual and wants to show the whole world." Unfortunately, most of the adults don't agree. J.M. of Indiana wrote "I
suggest to run, not walk, to the guidance counselor.. at your teen's school for a down-to-earth information session. Ask what groups..
your daughter hangs out with and how they are doing in school." To me, that sounds like a very insecure and overprotective parent. If I
were to dress like the aforementioned teen, my mom (I hope) would be supportive, but she'd comment until I stopped.
Meredity Lapp of Toronto wrote, "I have a perfect school record, a 92% average, and am courteous to teachers. I am in the midst of
lifeguard training, play classical cello, and sing in the church chior... I am wearing black-and-red-striped thigh-high tights, red vinyl
4-inch heeled boots, leopard print gloves, and six braids in my hair... A slightly unorthodox style of dressing is not necessarily an
automatic sign of antisocial tendencies or drug abuse... This parent needs to stop thinking about how to quell her daughter's creative
flair and start spending more time with her. Soon the multicolored dyes will fade away and the black lipstick will be washed off, but a
bad parental relationship.. will leave a permanent mark on this young woman for life. I am 16 years old." Have you ever heard of an evil
celloist before? Come on!
[11:22 am] Last night I had a dream that I walked into a library. I've seen this library before in past dreams, and I even knew where my
favorite book was located in there. The lighting from outside through the tall narrow windows had a bluish tint. There was a little
glass-enclosed room, and that's where my books were. I went into that little room and pulled off a few books from a shelf in there, set
them down on a short round table, sat in one of the plastic chairs, and began reading. It felt like I was getting sucked into the book,
because before I knew it, I was inside someone's head. (I was a very small person, maybe only a half-inch tall.) Peering out from behind
their eyes. Quite freaky. It turned out that I was inside a tall male person, who in close quarters with a famous movie-star girl that he
happened to be in love with. I don't remember much, but it was like a bad claymation movie. I think I helped save the world though,
perhaps by breaking the two of them up.. I'm not sure. I was asleep.

[4:12 pm] Heh heh, my history teacher said that Gore would probably find a way to pull it out of the toilet at the last minute. Of course
he's a Republican so he says this in a dry disappointed manner, but I just can't help but take it as it comes.

[7:18 pm] I just looked at the thermostat in my house a while ago and it is 63 degrees in my house. I am freezing. Other news: Farting
around with Napster, my one true love. Ahh..

[9:01 pm] 2nd place sucks, just thought you should know. It's 9:01 pm. I should go to bed. Tomorrow is a school day, allbeit a half-day,
but you don't see me, or my friends complaining. So adios for today. Possibly many updates tomorrow?
120400
[4:14 pm] I went to the dentist, I got glow-in-the-dark-pink bands and regular silver bands. They are cool. Also, I have a headache. I
will take some Nuprin in a little while and then I will have dinner and then I will go to school again to go be in another Christmas
parade. I suppose I should be thankful.. Oh wait, that holiday is over.

[11:49 am] Sorry for not updating but stuff on the server was all pooped up, so now it's fixed. It snowed yesterday and I had my first
real driving lesson. I drove, parked, and made tight turns in our huge Suburban, which was cool. Joe saw me and said that I drove like an
old lady, slowly, but I told him that I wasn't allowed to drive fast and that criticism (however helpful) was not welcome. Another
thought, I don't like this layout anymore. It's too grey, like the snowy outside. So I am redesigning, thinking about upside airplanes,
Angela Lindvall, rainbows, et cetera. And I think there might be a new layout by Christmas, if you're good. So be good.
B: Are you done in there?
T: No.
B: *sigh*
T: *big heavy sarcastic sausage*
B: Come on, Ty, I gotta brush my teeth.
T: I gotta mouthwash and wash my face.
B: Ahhhh!
T: Go in the other bathroom.
B: You go in the other bathroom!
T: My stuff's not in the other bathroom.
B: My bathroom's not in the other bathroom!
