Kata and Demons

Hello!!! It's me!!! Who else??? So, Ocean City was AWESOME. I. Love. Summer. It makes everything possible. Two new things I love are boho wraps and water ice. I'm currently working on a kata, for my green belt. Kata is Okinawan for form, and katas are basically a sequence of staces, blocks, strikes, punches, kicks and more, all put together. They help you with many skills, and they are made as a spiritual, mental, and physical exercise. Why am I practicing at this hour??? IT'S SO HOT HERE!!! I think its safe to say it's hot where I live, considering the whole country (except maybe Alaska and Maine and other northern states) is experiencing extreme temperatures. Poodle's aunts, who went to Ocean City, New Jersey with us, (you are now allowed to know, it was NJ) are leaving for Fiji tomorrow. They've made a blog for it, and it should be under blogs I follow.Anyway, my green belt kata is Aniku, which means Swallow on the Beach or Pivoting Forms. I perfer Swallow on the Beach over Pivoting Forms, because it just sounds better. I like it better than the last kata, Wansu, or Strong Arm Dumping Form. Today I was watching a UFO special on NatGeo, and now I'm freaked out to be in my room alone... guess there is such thing as too much Sci-Fi. I just finished the book Clockwork Prince, and it was great. It wasn't even the idea of the story that interested me (demon hunters and vampires and such) but the plot was so intricite, you didn't know how it would end until it was over, no predictable or cliche twists and turns. There was just a touch of romance, but it was suspenseful, like you're not sure its true until you read the prolouge or the next book. The characters are very original. It takes place in London, much before the Prohibation Era, but I'm not sure how much before. One of the main characters, Will, feels almost like he doesn't fit into to the dismal gray of early London, for his personality is so bold and boisterous it adds the perfect touch of humor to this dark plot. I would highly recommend it to virtually any avid reader, for even if you are not a fan of fantasy, the plot can hook you in easily. The only thing I did not enjoy was how frustratingly idiotic the main character Tessa could be, but that was a major factor to the plot, so I guess it was necessary. An overall great read,

Keep it real and fail with style,

Purpleness

The tips of my hair are purple... hopefully my Poodle's family will still take me to Ocean City lookin' like this!!!!! Haha, of course they will. I koolaided my hair last night... it's more complicated than I imagined it would be. Oh, there's bad news too. In my middle school, there's 7 grade math level and pre-algebra for seventh grade, and pre-algebra and algebra for eight grade. If your 6th grade teacher recommends you and you state test scores are high enough, you'll be put in pre-algebra in seventh grade and if you do well enough there you take algebra in 8th grade. Good news, I got into algebra!!!!!!! Bad news, I have a summer  packet... -_- Anyway, today is packing day!!!!!!!! On Saturday I leave for Ocean City with Poodley's family at 6:00 AM. I"M SO PYSCHED!!!!!! I looooooooooooove the ocean. My hair smells like grapes.

Keep it real and fail with style~ I

Pics

I used to have an ipod touch... the system shattered. I did manage to save the pictures though, and these are a few of my favorites...

Quote from me.

I tell this to my friends all the time...

...

I ate the empinada.

My last day of school.

So, yesterday was my last days of school, and it was definately the best last day I have ever had. My friends are truly insane, yes, and I will miss them like crazy. I really don't know what to say. We took the craziest pictures, and everyone probably thought we were insane. We wore fake mustaches all day, and when people asked why, it was because we're awesome. The crankiest teacher in our school gave us candy and then told us not to tell out parents we took candy from a stranger. We played kazoo to every song we knew.It was the best last day ever.

Summer (Where Do We Begin?) Phineas and Ferb

Summer is runnin' through the sprinklers in your T-shirt, shoes and jeans
Rolling down a grassy hill, yeah, that's what summer means to me
It's true
There's so much more to do

 The days are longer
The nights are shorter
The sun is shining
 It's noticeably warmer

 Summer, every single moment is worth it's weight in gold
Summer, it's like the world's best story and it's waiting to be told
It's ice cream cones and cherry soda dripping down your chin
It's summer, man, where do we begin?

Summer is ponds and pools and garden hoses, tryin' to beat the heat
Summer, bicycles and roller skates and even just bare feet
It's also... Surfing tidal waves, creating nanobots
Or locating Frankenstein's brain
Finding a dodo bird, painting a continent
Or driving our sister insane...
Oh, wait. Maybe we're going too fast.

Summer, it's crickets and cicadas and a glass of lemonade
Summer, it's sitting with your brother in the backyard under the shade of a
Big tree
That's what it means to me

The days are longer
 The nights are shorter
The sun is shining
 It's noticeably warmer

 Summer, every single moment is worth it's weight in gold
Summer, it's like the world's best story and it's waiting to be told
It's ice cream cones and cherry soda dripping down your chin
It's summer, man, where do we begin?
It's summer, man, where do we begin?
It's summer, man, where do we begin?

Summer
Where do we begin?
Summer
Where do we begin?

The People in World...

People bug me.
1. People who are fake. People who pose, or pretend to be something they're not to fit in or whatever. Who cares???
2. Stereotypers... "OMG I'm SUCH a nerd, but I've been reading this book for 3 days, and I actually am enjoying it!" , though I have to say, I'm a hypocryte because I stereotye baseball players.
3. People who judge. Just because I don't wear Abercrombie and OSIRUS doesn't make me a nerd (though I am one ;D) or a bad person.
4. Perverts. JUST SHUT UP!!!
5. People who descriminated on race, gender, or even sexuality. Hey, just be your own person and don't give a crap on who everyone else is being!!!
6. Again with gender... I take karate, and I can proudly say I could beat half the boys in sparring, though I am the only girl. I bet $10 all of them would deny it, and half the bystanders would predict I'd lose. What is it, girls can't beat up guys??? WTH

This past weekend I went to DC. It was hot, crowded, and I couldn't stand my travel companions, but hey, DC is DC. The only thing I really enjoyed was the National Crime Museum. I got an AWESOME NCIS sweatshirt. I am soooooooooooo ready for summer. I have 4 1/2 days left of school, and I have a pre-algebra and french final tomorrow... DX What kind of math test has 25 vocab questions??!?! Ugh. I downloaded All I Ask of You from Phantom of the Opera to my ipod, and only half of it downloaded. Is that normal???  I'm going to Ocean City in 12 days!!! Sooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I have to find my sun glasses... B-D
