London 2012 Olympics

Today is the open ceremony of the Olympics in London! Today is a pretty exciting day for everyone who loves sports or loves watching people compete. Or they just love to watch their own country leave everyone in the dust!

All I have to say is I absolutely love watching the Gymnastics, swimming, and soccer, of course. I'm going to watch every one of those events but I'm really looking forward to those three.

Now for London, this has to be a big honor, like it is for every country that has to host the Olympics. But what's different about this is the last games. Beijing's open ceremony was incredible and might actually be impossible to beat. Maybe not impossible, but it was really something to watch. 

Now London is expected to beat this. But some people disagree this this competition and just want London to forget about Beijing. The opening ceremony is suppose to represent their country but who said not to do it in a brilliant and spectacular way?

Well, today's opening ceremony will be on NBC, airing at 7:30 or 6:30 central, depends on where you live.

If you can't watch it on the television, hopefully you have a computer with you. Then you can watch the ceremony, games, and get highlights from NBCOlympics.com.

Riding

Dear people's faces I shall call my diary,

Yesterday I was sitting in my room doing some sit ups and started charging my ipod. That's when I wanted to go and enjoy the outdoors on a bike.

I put on this soccer under shirt and some shorts. Then I got my socks and tenni (no one says tennis shoes anymore) shoes. I got my two dollars, like I bring every ride, and put it in my sock.

That reminded me of when I went to my soccer club's huge event, and my mom gave me $10. She said to put them in my sock. About an hour later I was very hungry. When I took out my money, it was drenched in sweat!

Anyway, I also grabbed my ipod so I could listen to something and look incredibly cooler (even though I'm already popular). I go and get on my bike and head off. The first thing I notice is how empty the neighborhood looks. How lonely the streets are. And it nearly killed my to know that my shorts were hiking up my legs.

I ride through the neighborhood, and it's just huge. I wave at the cars. But when they don't wave back, I start to get self conscious, tucking at my shorts.

I finally get to my destination. The little clubhouse near the entrance. It's surrounded by the green golf course, loud pool, and tennis court. I enter the clubhouse, which is empty except for the people eating outside and the two people at the bar.

As I go and get myself a candy bar, I notice the two people at the bar is a dad and a boy. The boy is talking to this guy working in the kitchen, and it turns out he's twelve...like me. And I'm just looking around, paying for my candy and just wondering when the heck did this guy come to the area. I mean, shouldn't I when a guy my age moves into my neighborhood and decides to eat at the clubhouse? 

So I left, saying nothing to the boy or man (he looked just a bit scary) and rode home. Afterwards, I sat in my room wondering if I should have said anything.

I just told myself no

Bible study

Dear people's faces I shall call my diary,


I told you I would start posting everyday! I bet some of you doubted me. Well, just because I haven't posted those shirts yet doesn't mean I'm a lazy, procrastinator! Well, sometimes it true. But the reason the shirts are not up for sale is because I need a lot of t-shirts, and I'm waiting to go shopping with H for them. And I still need a flash drive to transfer the designs of the laptop to the computer. So I'm not lazy, and I'm sticking to my promise of making them. It's a long process. After this one, I'm starting on another one. And that probably wouldn't take as long.

Today I had Bible School. Its like a school...were you study the Bible. Its actually way more fun then i excepted it to be even though some of the teachers are mean. I'm in the teen group so my schedule for the day is:

1. Assemble Prayer- this is were we pray and do the Pledge. Then the head teacher reminds of the theme for all week ("Follow me and I will make you fishers of men) and then the theme for the day.
2. Group work- this is when we go to our groups' main teacher and learn the lesson, discuss it, and read about it. 
3. Snack time- random snack time. Also considered Break.
4. Music- We sing songs. Over and over and over again.
5.  Art- the time when this lady just yells in our ears to shut up (but said in a mean, old lady version), and we fight about other people using our markers and paint brushes.
6. Lunch- Eating time
7. Get outta here!- Bye, see you tomorrow! 

Sometimes they make us sing songs between ever activity, and make us, older kids (seniors), do it over and over again.

Today my mom came to get my sister and me early during Lunch. I had been telling my friends, Halo and Crazy Train (Train for short), about Baby and when they saw her, they freaked out. Train ran right up to her and started tickling her and talking to her. Once he heard her laugh, that was all he was talking about. Halo came over and asked Baby if she wanted a hug, and, strangely, she said yes. Halo held her in her arms, swinging her around. Then Train wanted to hold her, so Baby went right to him. And that's when Train started running around the room with Baby in his arms! It was so cute!

But, his teacher told him to put Baby down and called him over. She was a stern old lady and didn't look to happy with Train. I had Baby in my arms so I sorta forgot about him until I saw him hiding behind a pillar with red eyes. And I tried comforting him, to make him smile. I even asked if he wanted to play with Baby, but he said he wanted nothing to do with her at the moment. And that's when Baby came over (and I told her to give him a big huge), and gave him a hug.

Books

"This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force."-Dorothy Parker


Hey everyone!!! H is here! Don't kill me, I know I haven't written in forever! So today I am writing an extra long post about. BOOKS!!! (Oh how very interesting...) Shushies!!! I know what your thinking: "BOOKS!!! HAS SHE LOST HER MIND!!! I JUST GOT OUT OF SCHOOL!!!!" Well suck it up!!!
       Anyway...books are just. Indescribable (What a nerd...). AHEM!!!
       Books are passageways to things only our minds can think of. They are our escape. You have no idea how much books have influenced my life. I write this because sadly today was my last day of school. ;( Teachers as you may know encourage reading. Thus we have our dreaded summer reading! The Giver- Lois Lowry. (Comment or e-mail if you know what I am talking about.)
      You know what I am feeling lazy as usual so here is a great song by Coldplay-Viva La Vida
