The Power’s Out.

     You know what’s lame? Sitting at home with no light except for the few candles that cover about a square foot in light. At least I have my laptop and Windows Writer though, right? Blogging can be just as fun with no lights. Pull up a new window, type about your life while Owl City’s latest hit plays in the background sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.

     According to the radio, the transformer line blew. The Grays Harbor PUD is working on getting it back by later tonight. But while I pass the time, I’ve got my iPod and a good old “An Abundance of Katherines” by John Green. On that note, John Green is my new favorite adolescent author. Well, he isn’t adolescent, but his works fits us nicely. In fact, I’d recommend “An Abundance of Katherines” to just about anyone.

      On a completely different note, isn’t this picture of me and Morgan hilarious?

    We were trying to take a nice picture at the Central Park Elementary School Halloween Carnival (we’ll call it CPESHC) as we worked at fun game stations. But, once I clicked the camera button, she moved, I glared, this happened. It’s truly a work of beauty, eh?

     Mom’s birthday is on Sunday. Yay for birthdays! Can I get a what what?! *What What!!*

     I’m now on facebook! Hoorah! You can find me on my mom’s profile, or you can just search for me :) I’d love to have you as a friend!

        Whee!!!! The power’s back on! Just shows you that blogging about senseless schtuff is a great way to pass the time! Talk to you later,

     xoxo,

I Love Owl City

"Fwaaaaaugh...? What's Owl City?" You may be wondering. http://buzznet.com/~3c8a1c5 Here is an interview with the lead singer, Adam Young. He freaking rocks.


If you get the chance, check out these videos.

Fall Harvest

Ah, Fall. Autumn. The season of technicolor foliage. And apples. Lots.



We have this insano-massive apple tree in our backyard that usually produces a decent crop of organic apples.





So with rakes and mad skillz, Dad and I got on the roof and gathered two bucket fulls of delicious apples.





Mom also had some luck in the gardening area with her green beans and zucchini.



But noting on this earth is better than Dad's apple pie.
I'm just sayin'.

Cross Country: Miller Edition

As you may know, I recently decided to do running-related sports, like Track. But today: Cross Country started.

So did football and soccer, but that's beside the point.

When Mom and I arrived at Miller Jr. High, there were at least 65 people standing outside of the gym doors, which made me think about just how big the team would be. When Coach Harless called for football, about 35% of the people left and followed him to the field. But then it happened: Coach Gucci (No, that's not her real name.) called for soccer. Approximately--i ain't no math wiz'rd--61% percent of the remaining people left, leaving five aspiring athletes left. Me included, of course.

Just as practice began, the final three members came. Then our coach Mr. Dove led us the the grass and, yuh know...stretched and stuff. Then we ran. A lot. Well, some people would laugh and call us sissies, but after a mile and a half in the semi-groomed terrain of behind the track fence and around the school, i was ready to drink up all of the Chehalis River. Granted it'd been purified and flavored with lemon.

Needless to say, I'm ready to go back tomorrow. And the day after that. And that. And that...

Life's A Beach

Ah, Washington. The freezing grayish/blue water. The warm, rocky sand. The pieces of driftwood strewn about. The ease of driving from point A to point B. The fact that all this is a mere 25 minutes away.


Today, my best friend Morgan and I traveled to Westport to visit the lovely beaches of western Washington. I must say, jumping over waves, skipping sand dollars in the still, warm pools of water, and racing through the sand is fun all of the time. And while I love building sand mounds and sipping flat Dr. Pepper, there's always a downside.

It has to end.

Eh.

That's all I can say about this summer (so far). Eh. Granted I've had a fun camping trip, I've been to the beach, but...eh. It's like a broken record: wake up, eat, play computer, assorted chores, more computer, more food, sleep. I NEED A DE-STATUS QUO-IFICATION!


And I think I've found it.

I may or may not be in love with Harry Potter. YES I've only read the first three books and saw the first three movies, but that;s not stopping me. Once I find the fourth book, that's all I'll be talking about.

On a different note, I MUST apologize for the lack of posts. There;s just no excuse. I'll try to post more often :)

xox,
amelia :)

It's a Memory :)

Ah, yearbooks. A whole year forever preserved in book form. (Please note my AWESOME socks at the head of this picture.)



The mug shots.Blech. Massive blech. Figures, my picture is next to the most POPULAR girl in school. It's karma, I TELL YOU! (hahaha :) just kidding. Hi, Kenzie.)



It's not a yearbook without the band!



Or the athletes.



OR the girl that falls asleep while finishing an English assignment.



Oh, you know what's coming.



The over-achievers.



And the popular people who win twice. Pssht...




OH! Autographs. Lots and lots of autographs.

Yeah.This here is BOOK GOLD. I'm tellin' you, homies...sorry, I couldn't resist :)
