My Plinky: The Battle for Coffee Fame

Q: Create a 100 word story about pirates and ninjas.

A: Once there was this ninja who decided to make the most excellent cup of coffee ever. There was a pirate who also wanted the same thing. The ninja put tomatoes in his to give it an Italian flavor but it failed. The pirate went mexican on the coffee and added taco mix. They both submitted their orders to starbucks. They waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and finally the letters came. They excitedly tore open the envelopes hoping for their chance at coffee fame. None of the ideas worked because, really, who does that sort of thing? Seriously.

My Plinky: The Weirdest Food I've Ever Eaten

Q: What is the weirdest food you've ever eaten?

A: The weirdest food I have ever eaten is chocolate and tomatoes. Never try it! I mean NEVER! It's the absolute worst thing your taste buds will ever experience!

Fall

Well since I didn't even realize fall has officially begun 7 days ago, it goes to show how much I really look at a calendar. But oh well! I could defineately tell fall was here without looking at the calendar.
The leaves on our trees were turning orange, red and yellow, the morning starts off with dew on the grass, the dogs start to shiver, everyone starts wearing hoodies again and a new season of modern family starts up! Speaking of modern family, I think it's my new show of the year! I love it! It's absolutely hilarious!

Dancing with the Stars

I love Dancing with the Stars!! It's such a great, funny, sad, makes-me-mad kind of show! It has all the qualtities needed in a good show!
So my pick for this year is Kyle Massey and Lacey Shwimmer or Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough. They both did pretty darn good!
You know what's funny though? If you listen to the lyrics in the songs when stars get kicked off and they're doing their "final dance". The one song was singing 'I can't stand losing' and one of the other ones was singing 'I'll never dance again...'. And yet another said 'I'm going home to the place where I belong'. Haha.

Rainbow Twizzlers: Life's Little Wonders

Oh how I love Rainbow Twizzlers! Not only do they taste amazing, they smell like play dough! It takes you back to the days when you actually considered eating play dough. Aaah, those were the days......

The Working Life :P

So today I worked for my mom at the elevator in town. Let's get something clear, this is NOT an elevator in a hotel that takes you up floors and little kids race to press the buttons type of elevator. This is a grain elevator. (Just for all you city folk!)
If I ever see another number again I might scream! So if I scream in math class, don't judge me. I didn't do this voluntarily, I got paid. One of the only perks about this whole shebang. If anyone is interested I could probably train someone to work at an elevator from all the information that was forced into my tiny head. Any takers? I thought not. :)

The Oval Office

Something has come to my attention thanks to Red River Interiors blog. (http://www.redriverinteriors.blogspot.com/) This might be coincidental or it might be planned. I really have no clue. But I think it's pretty hilarious!
Apparently in the Whitehouse, they have an "oval office". It's literally an oval with randomly places sofas and expensive little knick knacks. The funny part of this whole thing, to me, is the fact that the term "oval office" means bathroom. I have no idea if they planned it to be funny, or if it's all just one big coincidence! Kinda funny though!

And It Begins

So today was my first day of the most promising year of grade 10! It was an interesting time seeing everything all renovated. For instance I realized the horror of running laps in a way bigger gym than last year. And we now also have a full size stage so we can host drama competitions! Huzzah! There is this one place in the hall where you're literally shoulder to shoulder to tummy to back with people. It's extremely squishy! Sheridan said to me "It's like herding cows!". It really is. The best way to get out of there is just to muscle through. And of course me with my huge pipes (not really) do excellent there....
As for the classes, well, what can I say really? I have gym first period until January and that pretty much sets the mood (and the perspiration) for the rest of the day. Unless of course we play dodgeball. (Perspiration stays the same....) I like that game.
Overall, I'm making it sound way worse than it is. It's going to be a great year!

The End of Summer

The camps have been gone to, the statuses have been updated, the skin has tanned, the ferris wheel has been ridden and the last rainbow twizzler of summer has been chewed. It's official, summer is ending and school is starting.
Tomorrow is the first day of grade 10! I'm so excited. I feel so senior-y! Technically it should be my first day of high school but I've been in the high school since grade 8 so that offer kind of lost it's charm for me. If someone were to ask me what I'm planning for after high school I would have no idea. (Journalism possibly?) I have no clue. I should probably have a clue but I don't. I'll have to do some serious looking about this year because next year I have to choose classes that actually go along with my career plans. MY CAREER PLANS?! Who said I wanted to grow up yet? Not me! But I have to.....eventually.

Step Up 3D

Step Up 3D is the best movie I have ever seen! Go see it! NOW! haha But seriously. The fact that it's in 3D is even better so don't go see it in theaters unless it's in 3D! If you don't have a theater near you that shows 3D moves then you will travel to one that does. No questions asked. And if there is no possible way to see it in 3D than I guess you can see it normally. I guess. This movie made me love "Club Can't Handle Me" by Flo Rida. It is a great song!!

Camped Out!

I've been to camp like crazy this summer! The first week of July I went to CIT (counselor in training) the 9-10 yr old camp and then the week after that I CIT'd the 11-12 yr old camp! Wowzers. And  now, tomorrow I get to go to camp as a camper! Woo! Everything's all fine and dandy except for the fact that it's only a weekend. :( Oh well, I still get to see all my camp buddies! If you think all that was a lot of camp, well then, we're also going camping in the second week of August! Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll be camped out by then!

Just Another Day of Summer...

Oh how I love summer! Today we decided we have had enough of the dogs getting all muddy and wet from sources unknown so we bought them a little wading pool. Not the blow-up kind because that thing would pop on the first day! It was a hard plastic one. We figured they would have a blast splashing around in it on hot days. Well when we brought it home the dogs looked at it like "What is that thing doing in our yard?". So I tried persuading the dogs to come in. I even went in to try to get them to come in! I called their names but all they would do was drink from the side. Not quite what we bought it for....So I decided if I could get Jessie (the older dog and the "adopted mom" of the two puppies) in I would be able to get the puppies in. I threw her toy in the middle of the pool and she stuck her head under the water on the side! Well thats going to get you nowhere. So I shook it around a little and eventually Jessie figured out she had to go into the pool to get it. The puppies just watched. Well! Then later on when I was back in the house I saw that Ace was in the pool! Huzzah! Hally wasn't. She was just drinking the water of course. I have yet to get Hally in the pool but I will before the end of the summer!
