Once upon a New Years day, Alexa McIntyre fractured a bone in her wrist, 4 days later she got a cast, 2 weeks later she got a new purple cast, today she "low 5"d me and hurt my wrist. Don't worry I will survive ;D

Movie Quote #Uno

Guy#1: Jose, can you see?
Guy#2 Wait, the first word is Jose?
Guy#3 Yeah, it’s Jose.
Guy#2 Wow, it’s about a Spanish guy.

:D this movie is where a few good famous actors got their start :D

Alexa's hyper... Again

No surprise.

How can Barbie have a fashion fairytale? I just don't get it.

Anywayysss, so today was great :D I went to school like normal, and well everything was normal until 3rd period. At around 12:15pm. When the school caught fire. And we evacuated the school. All 4000 of us. Give or take a few. And we waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. And I made a friend :) and we waited. And we waited. And waited. And waited. At least it was nice outside. And we waited. Finally at 1:40pm we made our way back inside the school and stayed in our third period class. Fine with me :D I had an oral quiz in world history that I didn't really want to go to. So we stayed in our third period class - mine English 3 Ap- and then left the school at 2:15. Thanks to the people on the top of the roof burning tar we missed fourth period and got an early release. I suddenly like them much better. :)

I got home early and danced around a little and waited for Grandma to come and get us. So grandma got there and then I took a very nice walk with Trapper around the neighborhood. He was VERY good. :) Then Alexa got home and we went out for Chinese where I had Alexa cough and cough and cough on me. And I told her not to and not to then she complained about her sprite so I tried it. Then I realized what I had done. So don't be surprised if I come down with something. Im sure more will happen and I will keep you up to date on things Alexa says.

For instance, she found the King Cake and found the baby. Then Grandma told her the baby was meant to represent Baby Jesus. Then Alexa asked, "If it's supposed to be baby Jesus then why is there no willy?" Oh Alexa...

Kicking the Masterpieces

Alexa started kicking our butts- literally in HEB. She told me that she wasnt going to kick me and only kick them - Aka our parents. She told me they are the masterpieces of mankind. I then asked he why we were kicking the masterpieces of mankind. This is how she replied-

Alexa- You know the Mona Lisa? Ya? Well she has no nose.

Me- Why? Did Leonardo DiVinci just forget to pain the nose?

Alexa- No her nose was a grape and I ate the grape, so the Mona Lisa has no nose.

Leonardo DiVinci you disappointed me.

Interesting...

My English teacher told me something that I feel is very true and I wish to tell you this because this is what I've been trying to tell you guys for a while and I haven't been able to find the words.

"you grow up in a place and you love that place but then you move away or a year or two and let's say you move back. Would your experience be the same as before?"

The class answers no like a good class and she goes on.

"Exactly, the past cannot be repeated. When you move away, you still like those places but you have grown and your friends have grown and have made new friends. It would take you a long time to become just as friendly as you had been before and you may never accomplish this." She went on and read essays on "morally ambiguous" characters.

My psycho world history teacher asked if anyone could be both good and bad. Although his answer was no, you can be morally ambiguous- as my English teacher put it. He then went on to tell us that all the textbooks are lying and we never think about anything really and so therefore we know absolutely nothing.

He said something similar to what my english teacher had said, so I thought that I may need to remember this. I forgot. :/

Things Alexa says #1

We were playing "in my grandmothers trunk we found..." and you take turns saying things in order of the alphabet. For instance one person would say "Alphabet" and the next person would say "butterflies" and it can be absolutely ANYTHING.

So my mom said, " Kilimanjaro" and Alexa interpreted this as "Kill a man in a sombrero"

Falling in Love with English Boys Part 3

So this is it – Last post about the book and I’m a bit disappointed.  So let me fill you in:

The main character is named Cat so I don’t have to write main character every single time.

So Cat ate toast and found that it was really good toast.  I then thought about English toast (which is SOOOOOOO much better in England btw, I used to have it for a snack after school because it was so good.  I know, not good for you, whatever) for 5 minutes.

Then they mentioned Texas.

That’s about it that goes along with my life. What doesn’t I will tell you.  And by the way, I’m very sorry for you people who actually wanted to read this book, I will be telling you the end, but it is still a brilliant book. Winking smile 

So even though Thomas disappears, turns out that he wasn’t “the one” and one of her good guy friends was. 

Cat and Will (the handsome british aristocrat that showed her around London) kissed and became bf and gf. 

She went back to America. Butttttt she got to visit in Christmas break. Not fair.

 

So you see why I’m a bit disappointed.  No signs of what to do after I go back to America, other than going back in winter, because that obviously didn’t happen for me.  No signs of how to survive living back here.

You wanna know why I liked it in London, you wanna know why I wanted to stay so badly? I’ll tell you.

 

2008- I broke a mirror, my grandfather died I desperatly wished that I could get away to a place that is good and I didn’t have to worry about all of this stuff, Hurricane Ike, finding out I was moving to London.

2009- Prepared myself for London, got to London, spent 2 very lonely months crying but I knew I KNEW that I was going to be okay I just needed to start school, My dad came, I started school, made friends and flew back to Texas.

2010- Flew back to London, had an amazing time in school, made the best friends anyone could have and then I get all of it taken away and I move back to Texas.

2011- It’s a new year, new story I guess.

You see, London was my get away, it was my place where I didn’t really have to worry about stuff, I felt like I was okay there. I also found out how many TRUE friends I have here. You know I might have only heard  3 '”I miss you”s out of all of that from my friends? and that was only from 3 people.  I felt like I was better over there and everyone over here was better without me.

I know this is like a rant and I’m sorry, I had to get it off my chest. I just had to. 

Falling in Love with English Boys Part 2

I just learned that Thomas in the Diary is to marry some other girl. :/ but my life matches up more with the main character – Cats- life than the girl in the diary’s.  We shall see if this book predicts the future shall we?

Falling in Love with English Boys

So from my other posts you know I have been reading the book : Falling in Love with English Boys.  And you also know that it has been FREAKING ME OUT. Well, let me tell you why.

I bought the book in Barnes and Noble because I thought the title was interesting and the page I had opened up to seemed familiar so I was like, “What the heck?” Okay here we go,

I start reading the book and everything the main character is from America and goes to London and what she says about the flight over and the differences I have either thought about or have told multiple people.  I thought well any American would think about that.

Then I find out she moved over there for her mom’s job.

Then I find out that she stays home and goes and gets chocolate from the corner store like everyday, Alexa and I used to do that.

Then the main character meets this girl from the middle east and becomes instant friends – hello? I met Alaima first and yeah!!!

Then I meet the rest of the girls friends – One is from Spain, I found out Gemma is half Spanish, and the other kind of scares the main character – Alice!!!!!! They all hang out in a park  which we used to do.

The main character reads this journal about this girl in the 1800s and the girl in the diary likes this guy named, Thomas. I like a guy named Thomas!!!!!! Surprised smileSurprised smile (I’ve been texting/chatting with him a lot lately) Smile

Then the main character says something like, “You know that feeling you got when your 3rd grade crush (Aidan…..” My 4th grade crush was named Aidan!!

Then as the story goes on the main character likes this guy named Will, (who kind of looks like this British guy in my biology class)  and she thinks he has a girlfriend and that stuff. (I think Tom has a girlfriend :/hm)

Also I looked at the publishing date – 2011 I got it in 2010 maybe they put it early, I don’t know.

But then there's the flaws in the story, I don’t have a guy show me all of London and there's no way for my birthday that Alaima, Gemma and Alice would be flown out here just for my birthday. I haven't read anything else yet.

But it was freaking me out.  So I decided to tell you Smile
