Thankful for Thanksgiving Break

That is what I am most thankful for (outside my family and friends, of course). 

I really don’t have a good story to tell you, just thought I’d update my blog to let people know that I’m still here. I mean last, last weekend I volunteered at a BAFTX Gala which raises money for scholarships for underprivileged kids, and I met some of them and they were really nice. (And might I say, a lot nicer than the three freshmen in high school that weren’t with the program were) But it was really fun.  

Then this last weekend I went to the UT game and it was so much fun, but it was so disappointing. I really got into it, especially at the end, but it would have been nicer if we won.

And then here I am, on a Tuesday, packing for Branson, and watching movies and writing this.

Here’s a movie quote from the movie I watched last night and this morning:

Anyone who wants to be a can't-hack-it pantywaist who wears their mama's bra, raise your hand.

:)

So when I read my textbook and take notes for AP US History, I listen to film scores, Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, Titanic or really whatever Pandora plays, because listening to words while reading just messes up my brain and I can’t accomplish anything.

I had my music on, and the Titanic film score was playing (still is, actually, it’s a really long one). It got kind of quiet, like film scores do after something really loud. Then you hear Alexa stop, “Is it me, or did I just hear Titanic music?” She shook it off and kept walking.

 

I’m so proud, she knows the film scores from Titanic, but am I going to tell her that I’m playing Titanic music upstairs? No way, what’s the fun in that?

Correction: It isn't a bee, it's the biggest fly I think I've ever seen. I would question if it was one of those spy fly things but it's too stupid to be one of those. So biggest-fly-I've-ever-seen-in-my-life, it is then.

Bees.

So there is a bee in the house and it has been hanging out in the game room (funnily enough where I am now). Alexa is not real fond of bees and you can tell that by when she sees one she squeals and runs around in circles, almost literally.

So she walks into the game room, hears the buzzing and sees it flying around, “What’s that bug?”

“I dunno,” I say, not even looking up from my notebook, “Have you taken a shower yet?”

“No-“

“Well?” Then she left.

A few minutes later, she comes back in, “You need to help me get the soap.”

“Why?”

“The bee, it scares me!”

“Oh come on, its not even in the bathroom, you can get it yourself!”

“No, you need to help me!” At this moment in time, the bee comes out of it’s hiding place in the game room and flies around in the center of the room, then heading towards the window.

When Alexa sees this, she runs towards the window as well unintentionally, the bee turns around and heads for the door as does Alexa. And so Alexa chased the bee out of the room, squealing all the way and the bee looked like it was flying for dear life. The bee swerved into the bathroom and Alexa went onto the stairs. I’m not sure which one was more scared of the other.

A few moments of Alexa’s radio that had been switched to Russian was heard before you heard another squeal and jump from Alexa, because the bee came at her this time.

Its going to be some task to get her to take her shower now, which is why I will leave that up to the parents, as it should be anyways.

In other news, this morning I created a Jerry Lewis radio on Pandora, you know to lighten my day, listen to “Bongo-bingo” or “Enchilada”.  Instead I got an “explicit warning” against the material of the radio.

Yes, Pandora I need an explicit warning against this, I should be more careful in the future.

And no, it wasn’t Jerry Lee Lewis or anything like that.

Squirrel.

I'm trying to do my homework, get it done fast, you know? Well, there's this squirrel that passes on the fence back and forth, back and forth. It's driving me crazy! It's in that spot of my peripheral vision where you turn and you immediately think, "What was that?"
Well, this squirrel has been doing this to me for the past five minutes and I feel like the dog from Up going, "Squirrel... Squirrel..."

Calculators

So in math class everyday I get in and grab a calculator by the front door, more out of habit than anything else. But lately, the person who sits in my seat before I do, leaves the calculator at the desk. So because I'm so lazy, I don't feel like walking across the room and putting the calculator back, so I just place it on the desk next to mine.

Today I get to my desk and see a calculator there already, so I place the calculator on the desk next to mine as usual. The girl who sits next to me walks in and says, "I love the kid who leaves the calculator on my desk everyday..." and continues to talk about it a little longer.

At least I made someone's day with my laziness.
