In the words of Abraham Lincoln...

In social studies class we were learning about primary and secondary sources in the library, and our librarian had us organize picture into those two catergories, and he had a picture of th Gettysburg Address as a primary source, so here's how this part of the lesson went:
Mr.B (librarian): Now I know most of you kids can't read Abraham Lincoln's handwriting, which I don't understand, because I for one fin it fairly easy, so I will read it to you. Four square and seven years ago...
So, I'm good at social studies. I have a 99 average. Whch is strange, because I hte the subject, esspecially Civics (and history and geography...) After Mr.B went on with the whole "Four square" thing, me and the smart guy in my class were looking at each other smirking. Mr.M, my socil studies teacher comes in, "Did you just say four square?"

Maybe we can't read it, Mr.B, but at least we know what it says.

The weather outside is frightful...

So, I say so a lot, don't I? I am trying to figure out what to write about. I guess I like writing, and I'm pretty sure my writing beats my story telling, (that's where you chime in poodly) So I took a sudden liking to this font (there I go again saying so) and I really have no idea where I'm going with this. Well first I guess I'll thank all you wonderful people who take the time to read any of my posts, for most no real educational value or anything. So (Rawr. I will not use so again)lets talk aobut the weather!!! No, but seriously. The East Coast is just recovered from Hurricane Sandy (a VERY menacing name, if you ask me) and they're supposed to get hit with a Nor' Easter pretty soon. I love snow. There asn't been any sledding snow for like, two years!!! I like it when each season does what it's supposed to; Spring is rainy and cool, but sunny, Summer is hot, with the OCCASIONAL shower, Autumn is crisp, cool, and not totally rainy, and Winter is cold and snowy. My sister gave me a hair cut yesterday... Spuratically... My mom was like, "You need a hair cut" and then I went up to my sister and asked if she could cut my hair. (She's 16, with no training, it was a risky move on my part) I told her two inches off, but she hacked off 4, but I still like it. She got rid of all the blue-green... (If I didn't mention, six weeks ago I more successfully Koolaid dyed the bottom third of my hair teal) I have to go to my sister's cross country meet later. It's a big one, and she runs varsity for her school, 3rd or 2nd for the team at all times. This means me, standing in the cold all day to watch a 21 minute race... X(. I guess it's fun though. I really have been longing to go to the ocean for some unknown reason. Just in the cold, to walk along the cold sand, collecting beach glass. I have recently decided, The Unwanteds, by Lisa McMann, is my new favorite series, and Simber is the best character ever.

Keep it real and fail with style,
