Closed After Sunset

     Want a tic tac? Yes you do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNPPu4x5BwI Watch this and you might still want a tic tac. In fact, you probably have already clicked the link and went to the store to buy a box of tic tacs, or not. If not then do it now. I have time. I go to Stop and Shop for my tic tacs and then casually put the tic tac box on the counter, and like a spy, take it off without my mother knowing...until later when I offer her one. She did pay.

     Yesterday we went to Mystic for this sidewalk sale. The sale wasn't intended, just lucky. I got a necklace. And broke into a playground. The sign said "Closed after sunset" so we jumped over the gate. Turned out the gate was open. No need for climbing over.

     Today we went for a walk while my mom was at work. Me, Grace, and Annaliese. We dipped our feet in the pond (the one with the ducks who were missing today) and let the fishies nibble our feet. We were freaking out and screaming and almost jumped in but didn't out of fear of being arrested. Then we played board games in the driveway and Annaliese did 9 pull-ups. Later we went back and actually jumped in the pond. We did not get arrested but it turned out that it had like bacteria and stuff in it and so we showered. Ew. The End.

My Path of Greatness

     It's happening so fast. I'm am about to become an 8th grader! I mean by skipping a grade I sort of cheated so you know I'm really a 7th grader but I have the smarts of a 10th grader so I'm being deprived of my greatness by only being in 8th grade. When you think about it like that (the Melita way) 8th grade sounds tiny and immature. A small path on the side of the road to the true meaning of education and what's going to make me a picture of greatness. Just saying.......

     School starts on August 29th. Two days and twenty-eight minutes before I approve, but what are you gonna do? I'm on the Hurricanes team. Which is good because I have friends. And some of them are on that team. In our school we have teams just to make it more fun. Instead of just saying, "I'm in Ms. Melita's class," you can say, "I'm on the Hurricanes team." Fun, right? Thought so. 

     In honor of the beginning of the end of middle school we went shopping and I got Guess jeans. Guess what? Guess jeans! The fancy expensive kind. The adorable kind that no matter what size you are, you look skinny. Well I'm guessing, but I've never seen a non-skinny person in Guess jeans, so how should I know? I also got an adorable dress for a black and white party we're going to. I'm not going to go into detail just that it's black and white. The obvious has just been unveiled. (I pointed out the obvious.)

It Ends with a Happy Ever After

     Yesterday we took a henna workshop at the library and learned how to do henna. Actually henna is just the paste. The art of doing henna is called mehndi. Are you supposed to capitalize ancient words? I don't know. Maybe I should. I don't know but we got to try it out and my mom did a pretty bracelet looking thing on me and I made some designs on my finger.

    We went to the beach again today. Imagine that? So I was just lying there on the sand. It was such a weird feeling. The water coming out of my ears. So weird, in fact, that I giggled. I had just gotten out of the water. Yesterday it had rained. Such rain, in fact, that there were 10 foot waves. My mother studies the ocean. She would know how tall the waves were and she said some of them were 10 feet. Yet for some reason she let her super excited kids in the water. The waves could have, in fact, killed us. In fact, I'm saying "in fact" so much that I'm annoying myself. I'll stop now and continue the story. Ok, there's not much more to the story except that in the end of our beach day we got stuck in a little rip current. We were fine. No worries. Then later we went out and had lobster. I had grilled cheese because lobster smells weird to me. Then we went to the River Glow downtown and it ended with a Happy Ever After.

The Spider Story...and other less important things

     I got a new computer! Yay! For some reason it was free or something I wasn't really listening just smiling. :) <-------- Like that. It's the same size as my other one, but faster and it has an 's' key. I needed a new one. And now I have one....yay! Is my happiness annoying you? Moving on.

     We went to the beach again today. Of course we did. Everyday is beach day. Except it was cold, so we left early. Also when I took off my shorts at the beach yesterday the whole swimsuit bottoms came off. That was an embarrassing live-and-learn experience. I almost did the same thing again today so maybe I didn't actually learn anything. But I feel smarter whether I learned something or not.

      My sister saved my life yesterday. I thought I would mention that. How? You might ask. Like this I might tell you.
     See I was reading two nights ago before bed. My clip-on bed light cast a circle of light on my ceiling and I looked up because the circle amused me. In the middle of that circle sat a spider. Small and green. I wouldn't have been scared except for the fact that I have a loft bed and the spider, just a foot above my head. I lied, I actually would be scared. I saw it and it saw me and we both just sat there frozen. What if it fell on my face? I sat there wondering if it would. I eventually decided it would just be safer to move over a little without causing commotion. Then I calmly called for Annaliese since my mom was tired and I knew Annaliese well enough to know that she was reading, too.
     She tip-toed to my room so she didn't wake anyone. Then, she climbed up the ladder into my bed and asked me what I was freaking out about. (I lied when I said that I called for her calmly.) I just pointed upwards, my arm tense. She looked up and laughed. She asked me why I was scared. Apparently it was cute. Then, completely ignoring me, she started trying to play with it by moving her hand in the place it was obviously trying to go, causing it to change direction. Well haha on her because then it fell on her face. By now I'm going crazy. The thing was lost in my bed. I started heading for my ladder. She told me she would find it but no matter what she said there was no way I was sleeping up there....she found it...and I ended up sleeping up there. The End....

YouTube, Sharks and Elves.... Oh My!

     I made the weirdest YouTube video in the world. It's hilarious though. If you want to watch it here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gLYqKeYPyo&feature=results_video 
That's the link to my channel where you can watch it. Which I recommend you do because it's hilarious if I haven't mentioned that already. But who am I kidding? You're going to watch it. I'm kidding nobody. It's a silent movie so that's why you can't here us talking. Pointing out the obvious. My favorite hobby. 

     I also wrote a story about Kerny the elf. Who's pretending to be a hamster. Don't ask. Unless you want to. I'm giving you permission to do just that. Ask away. No really you should. Highly recommended. By several foreign doctors and news-castors. I don't remember what I'm talking about so I shall move on.

     I went to the beach and thought I saw a shark. No I did we just didn't prove it. It was a shark. I'm 84% positive. Now I'm watching a commercial about sprinkles and Olympics. Like the Sprinkle Olympics. Who can eat the most sprinkles? I see gold in my future. I'm tired. That's what this means. 

Mood of the day: Why do you care?......

Real mood of the day: Happy enough to cheer for an Olympic team that's not the US

The Weather, Submarines, and Some Suspicious Whereabouts

     I was sitting there sweating to death just wowing over memories of Norway where flip-flops were used as sarcasm and jackets were an everyday-of-the-year thing. How was that ever possible? Temperature is a strange thing. You can go from complaining about the heat to complaining from the chills. Either way there are complaints. When there's perfect weather it's not appreciated. Not even by me, the queen of observing my surroundings. Cough cough...sarcasm. I thought I would mention that. My first paragraph and I'm already talking about the weather. Wow. 

     There's a whole museum dedicated to submarines. Did you know that? Didn't think so. If you did then I was wrong and I apologize. Well anyways we went to it and toured around a submarine. It looked like a very cramped living space but I've always thought submarines were small and not supposed to be lived in. This one was. We had listening devices to inform us. About submarines. And their small living spaces. And how we should feel bad for them because they had to sleep in what looked like cabinet shelves with bed sheets. We also saw scary wax figurines of the captain, the cook, the dish guy and random weirdos. Live-sized weirdos. Pictures on Facebook. 

     We strolled through the downtown whereabouts today. By 'we' I meant myself, Annaliese, Sam, my mother, and my grandparents. By 'whereabouts' I tried to mean Bess Eaton, Other Tiger, and other various shops. At Other Tiger I was looking for this book series that are a bit little-kiddish and didn't want to ask if they had them but I worked up the courage and did. The lady had never heard of them and apparently her computer hadn't either meaning they didn't have them. Turns out I had given her the wrong name anyways so maybe they did have them. I'll ask another time. I did get a book though. Just so you know. 

           Mood of the day: Buzzing bee happy (I made this mood up but you can guess what it means)

What a Week!

     My computer is broken. It's 4 year life-span is over. Gone. It won't turn on or charge or do anything but sit there and look depressing. But this only means I get a new one! :) Right now I'm on my sister's computer which is just as old as mine but I guess less used or something. But this only means that she doesn't get a new one! Mine was missing the 's' key anyways! How do you live with a computer that doesn't have an 's' key? That is what I would like to know. I figured out the answer. You don't! It broke! On to less depressing news that won't leave you sobbing in your pillow. 

     My family is visiting! My grandparents, my aunt, Annette, my cousin, Thyra, her dog, Watson, and her new 5 month old baby, Leona! (Who's adorable by the way.) We went to the beach. They love the beach. Who doesn't? Nobody that's who! I just realized that I keep answering my own rhetorical questions so now I shall stop. Leona is really cute! I learned that she likes to slobber on your shoulder, attack paper with her fingers of fury, smile a lot, and pretend to talk like a grown-up. Watson loves fetch, barking at strangers, and he can dance. :) 

     I just finished a week of soccer camp and got a certificate to prove it. My friend, Jessica's birthday party was on Friday and that was really fun! Except now from soccer, the party, and my family visiting  I'm very tired! Also my friend, Grace, is dyeing her hair bright, fire-truck red! Oh my gosh......
