Damn, it's Sunday already. The weekend went by too quickly and I really don't want to go to school tomorrow. I don't care if I got my test done with - I have to make an outline for a term project on this guy named Chief Little Turtle. I don't think that I'm going to do it tonight though. I'm going to procrastinate and do it tomorrow because I should finish arranging my notecards first.
Today I went to my cousin Adam's 8th birthday party. My aunt (his mom) just got a new kitten. It's name is Joey and it's only 7 weeks old. It's adorable with it's little blue eyes and fluffy black and gray tabby fur. Normally I don't really like cats - well, not grown up cats anyway. I usually like kittens because they're less likely to scratch your eyes out.
Whenever anyone tried to hold Joey he'd paw at their hands and bite gently with his little sharp teeth. It didn't really hurt and he never broke the skin; kind of playful I guess. The pads on his paws were so soft.
It was kind of funny when my newest little cousin, David, was sitting on the floor (he just learned how to sit up about a month ago) and the cat went up to him. David reached out to play with him and Joey started pawing at his hand. I was surprised David didn't cry. I guess it didn't scare him. In fact it looked kind of like he was having fun. But Sue, his mom, was afraid that David might get hurt or freaked out and moved him away a bit. Joey then moved on to attack something else.
I haven't had cream soda in forever. I had some today and, lemme tell you, that's good stuff ^_^.
Oh good Lord, help me. I just had the urge to sing a Hilary Duff song (THE HORROR! THE HORRORRRR!)
Anyway, back to the birthday party. Now, I don't think I've mentioned the conformation debate between my family. My parents are giving me the choice of getting ze sacrament of Confirmation or not. At first I said no, because it was too much work. But then I started considering it. The only thing is, we needed a sponsor for me, so we were going to ask my aunt, Sue. We talked to her about it and even looked over the stuff. Of course, by then I was once again getting completely turned off by the idea. Eighth grade is stressful enough, and I don't need to write an essay every single week for 20 weeks about what the priest had to say during mass or write a letter to the bishop begging him to let me take the sacrament (either I just had de ja vu or I've typed that line before). I know what I believe in, so I just don't see the point in doing this if I know and my family knows. Anyway, even Sue agreed that it was a lot of work just to get confirmed.
I don't think I'm gonna do it. I don't really see the point and if I still want to later, I might get another opportunity.
The dumb storm still hasn't come.
I started my science project today. That's right folks - my group and I decided to do a project on MOLD (yay!). Marilyn was assigned bread, Toni was assigned cheese, and I decided to do nice, harmless bananas. I think that the banana I have outside right now is going to be eaten by something not long before this project is over, and I even have a banana in a drawer in my garage to see how it does in the dark. Yahahahaha! Two weeks of watching food and taking pictures to see if it grows any cool ugly looking stuff. Oh yeah.

I am the youngest in my family and the relatives I know of, so I don't deal with anyone, they deal with me...muahahaha! It CAN be really fun, but sometimes they just treat me like I am 4yrs old (almost 10yrs off =P)and push me around the circle of people and hug me and all this other stuff...so it isn't always fun.
You should have a religion and all that stuff, but I think religiously-run schools are a bit extreme and kind of push it on you a bit too much, like how you said they make you write that essay. You believe in God, do you need to write about it? Gosh...Oh, I must sound sacrilegious right now...aw well...me liking guys is...
It was fun talking to you online...buh bai

Yeah, our school is pretty good when in comes to teaching us properly, but some teachers really overdo it with the religion. Our teacher right now tells us to read out of the book almost every day, and let me tell you something about the religion books: they will make you want to tear the book apart, scream bloody murder, and then take a nap on your desk.
Our teacher last year, Mr. Vane, never read out of the book. He'd just talk the whole time or let us complain about anything we wanted or if we had a test that day, he would let us study for the test. He would actually open the book to a page, glance at it, and then say "I don't feel like teaching this stuff today." Then he'd toss the book behind him and start talking about something else. ^_^
Unfortunately during last summer he passed away. He must have only been in his early 50s. Kidney failure and skin cancer. And after we were so confident he would be alright...
yeah, we're all gonna miss him.
