Plain Lucky

Dear people's faces I shall call my diary,

I know I haven't been writing in a long time. But today just seems like the perfect day to get started up again.

Yesterday, I woke up. At six in the morning. I couldn't figure out how to turn off the clock because my brain was so foggy so I took out the plug and have yet to fix my alarm clock.

About two hours later, I woke up again. I probably would have stayed in bed if my stomach didn't stop punching it's self. So I hurried to the bathroom. In there, I brushed my pearly whites and made my face even more impossibly beautiful and went to get a glass of water.

I made a huge breakfast for myself and my little sissies. Toast Strudels and Waffles. By the time we we done, I was ready to burst and spread all the sugary insides all over the kitchen. My stomach felt like crap after eating that food so I decided to just lay around, even though I probably shouldn't have.

You see, my soccer team made a deal with our coach that if we got to super fit on this running game, he would take us out for sushi. Now, I told myself I wouldn't lay around all day, playing video games and feeling bad because I looked like a video game obsessed kid. But that's really what happened.

I didn't have a soccer game that day so my mom decided she wanted to go see a movie. She and I decided on Paranorman (because Tim Burton movies are the bomb diggity!) Anyway, we left at five in the afternoon.

We first went to Target because the movie didn't start until seven. So we wandered the store, Mom, Baby, Tiny and I. I went to the skateboard section and guitar section, hoping to find good prices so I could buy them for my birthday.

Finally, we went to the theater. In there, I saw a sign that said people we looking for extras. Mom said I could possibly sign up later but I wasn't really hung up on it even though that was a really big deal for me. I just didn't want to get too excited if mom changed her mind.

We went to take our seats and the theater was nearly empty. But by the time the movie started, there was a little bit more people.


I have to say, that movie was awesome. It was funny and scary and creative and Tim Burton is forever my favorite director. I would absolutely love to create some of the things he creates...one day.

Anyway, we left the theater. Tiny had to use the bathroom so mom gave me Baby and told me I could sign up on the Extras info sheet. I filled in everything I could until, of course, mom came out and I gave her the rest to fill in.

We left the theater afterwards, and as we we're walking to the car, I saw what looked like a five dollar bill. Instead, it was a twenty!!


Pretty good day! But I still have to exercise if I want free sushi....

Money

So this may be a topic you don't care about or don't even want to think about. Personally, it's something that's on my mind a lot. The fact is, I'm a spender. I like lots of money. In fact, one of my personal dream goals in life is to have so much money, I can take care of myself and family without actually needing a job later on in life. I think that's a pretty good goal. But I started to think more and more about other people.

Lately, I've been obsessed with this game called The Sims 3. I've always loved the series. Its just I want the version for my computer, not the one I have on my DS. Mind you, I like mature games and long lasting games. So the game I want is rated teen plus. Only because this version is way better than the rated everyone version on my DS.

Now, I told my mom about my obsession. She told me to look at every store and website. Of course, I did as she said and researched everything. It took me one night and the next day. I still have to look up a video of someone installing the PC game to my kind of computer. I don't want to take any risk with my mom and dad's computer.

I finally found the perfect price, and after all the math, found out that it was even better, considering I get free shipping and 5% off. AWESOME!

I started to think how fun this actually was. I usually tease my mom about how she loves coupons and saving money. But now I know just how fun it actually is.

I was thinking about this nation's economy. It must be hard on the parents but also on the kids. 12.7 million people are unemployed and 770,000 homeless people just last year. I have never really thought about all the kids, considering the news never actually asks them how they feel. It must be hard. And I guess I needed to say that to the world because they'll never know it if I never say it.
