Well... I feel lost... It's been forever! I'm sorry. I've been super busy.
1. Ukulele. Darlene 1 was actually a baritone uke, so when I started my uke lessons at a nearby music store, they swapped her out with a concert, and I'm happy. :)
I've learned the songs:
-I'm Yours (Jason Mraz)
-Your Biggest Fan (NeverShoutNever)
-(In the process of learning) Did it Hurt? (NeverShoutNever)
So yeah!
2. School. School's good. My teachers are awesome. One, the best teacher in existance, (Phys. Science) Mr. Smith had a heart attack three weeks ago, but it recovering nicely and is back to teachin'. In band, I'm not crazy about the teacher, but she's alright. I'm aparently awesome, and I have to go to an Honor Band thing... yay. (?) And also, I'm being urged to go to Mid-State, but I'm not sure I want to... So yeah.
3. NaNoWriMo! NaNoWriMo is a writing... thingy. It's not for money. There's no prize. It's just a thing. NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month. In November, I must write a 50,000 word novel by the 30th. You can follow me. At http://www.nanowrimo.org , search for i_am_chloe. That's me. You can read an excerpt and a little summary. You can also keep up with my words, which I'll update every day or so. Remember, the goal's 50,000 words by the 30th! I highly reccomend you do one, too. If you want, leave a comment or something and tell me what to search! It's fun! :D
4. Super Mario Bros. 3. I used to be addicted to a game for GameBoy Advanced called "Super Mario Bros. 3". You might know it :). It's amazing. I found it while searching our garage. I love it alot. It's a lovely pass-time. I reccomend.
5. Reading. I'm trying to read a lot. Leave me a good list of books if you want and I'll review them! K? Awesome!

Titan's Game, I've Been Away, I Know, Don't Argue
09/12/2010
I know it's been forever, like three weeks almost, but I was busy! I'm on the soccer team (like actually PLAYING on the soccer team) so I've been at practice, just to come home to do some sort of chore or check on things. Okay, by things, I mean FaceBook. It's addicting! I'm sorry! But you know us teenagers.
Also, today, there was a Titan's game at LP Field that I attended. It was awesome. The high today was like 84, so I was like "Heck yeah, I'm goin'!" so I did. It was pretty awesome. We were playing the Raiders (Boo!) and they lost. It was 36-13 (I think that's what the Raider's score was. Escuse me if I'm wrong; I probably won't fix it). They got one touch down and two field goals and we got... several touchdowns and the same amount of field goals. It was awesome. I'm not even the biggest football fan, I almost despise it, but today had a good atmosphere and they did a memorial to the 9/11 thing and it was cool. Apparently, cheerleaders can sing. They sang America the Beautiful or something along those lines.
Okay, I have to apologize again. I'M SORRY! Another reason I haven't been blogging as much is because I've been reading a book. It's amazing no matter how non-fiction it is! It's "7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" by Sean C... something. C-Something. I'll probably tell everyone in a different blog, but I don't edit my blogs much.
So, yeah.
Also, though this should be in a Uke Chronicle, I've started lessons, but they've been failful. The first one: My dad was late to pick me up and it's only a 30 minute lesson, so I didn't do much but I got a new uke because mine was a bari, so I got a concert (YEAH!!) and I was super happy. The second, I missed because I had a soccer game. I'll make it to the third (well, first, I guess) one on time, hopefully. I'll tell my dad it sarts at 5:20 or something so he'll pick me up and we'll get there at a decent time! I'M SO PLANFUL! But not really. I usually plan nothing.

Talon's Plague
08/31/2010
So, today, I stayed home from school. It's bad enough we nearly missed second period yesterday because our bus FORGOT us(!), but I felt awful that entire day. I started shivering during lunch and all through the rest of the day. I knew I was sick, so I laid down on the couch when I got home. Mallory's been coughing for the past week, so I though I had that, but she never had a fever. I knew I'd catch something, but I didn't know what. We decided to call it Talon's Plague.
My friend Megan has a boyfriend named Talon who got sick and then Megan got it, then Megan's entire family got it, then I got it. I think you can see why we call it Talon's plague. Well, I got home from school yesterday and laid on the couch, like I said. I felt really cold, so I hesitantly took my temperature, which was 101.6*F. I went upstairs and got my robe, and went back down stairs. When my mom got home, she took my temperature again and it was 102.something. I took some Ibuprofuen and nasal spray and got an ice pack for my hot head and just sat around, eating Ramen noodles. My throat was really sore, so I was glad to eat something warm. Plus, I hadn't been able to drink anything because it hurt so much to swallow even my own saliva. I tried my hardest not to talk or swallow during school, which worked, but then I went to band.
We just so happened to be doing breathing excersizes that day where we had to breathe in so much it made a sound, and the same with breathing out. Yeah, that helped...
So, today, I stayed home. My temperature was down a few degrees, but it was still high (99.6-98.6) and I still shivered a lot. I pretty much spent the day finishing homework, chilling on FaceBook, and refilling my ice pack. I'm glad about a few things though: No Algebra homework tonight. I was very happy to hear this, because I was sort of freaking out about missing out on it because I could easily get behind since we usually get over 30 problems in one night's homework, so two nights' would be awful. Megan TRIED to make me think we took ThinkLink (a TCAP--Tennessee Comprehension Assessment Program--prep test thing) which I knew was fake because they'd be like "ThinkLink in a week", "ThinkLink in two days", etc., etc. Plus, we wouldn't have one this early in the year, anyway. We've been in school three weeks and I KNOW we wouldn't have a test that important this early. At least she tried.
Last note: My fever broke, so I've been sweating like crazy and I feel all hot. I don't feel sick that much anymore, though my throat has a tinge to it, but I'm super hot! It's getting annoying, having to fill my ice pack over and over. I think my head's adapted to the feeling of it.

The Ukulele Chronicles-Fixed, Yet Not
08/29/2010
So I fixed Darlene the ukulele the other day at a little local music store. So, we expected to just get a new string, but, as it turned out, all the strings needed changing and the nut was coming off. It would take a while, so we were going to go to Starbucks and get some coffee. The guy, who I never got the name of, commented on how he wouldn't mind a coffee, so Mom, being the kind person she is, offered to buy him some. He was about to give us some money to buy it, but we got it for him instead. While Mom went back to give him his coffee, we got hair cuts (well, trims), and it passed the time nicely. When we got back, he'd fixed the strings and the nut and he was tuning it. It's fixed, but not tuned forever. The first two strings are made of Nylon and stretch. They'll need tuning just about every time I play Darlene. It's a tad sad, but it's fine. We've got an electronic tuner somewhere around here...
So I got Darlene and my mom asked for lessons, which I'll be recieving every Friday, and then she asked for the price. Nothing, just the fee for lessons (which is like $100 for a month). So, pretty much, we got an improved Uke for the price of a cup of coffee and four lessons a month for a hundred bucks. I call it a score.

I'M SORRY!
08/27/2010
I'm sorry! I haven't blogged in like a week or more! School started and I'm in Algebra One and I have band and my ukulele... the string is broken and the... I'M SO BUSY!! Ugh. Work... So much of it...
Anyway, I've been doing a lot of work and getting back together with friends, and listening to tunes and stuff. It's pretty cool, except the school part. Also, I'm starting uke lessons soon, but I'm not sure when.
OH YEAH! I'm on the soccer team unintensionally. I was just going to be manager, which I still am until I get my physical papers in and stuff, but I'm doing good because I'm just a sub for defence. I'm pretty sure I'm misspelling a bunch of stuff, but I can't tell because I'm just rushing through this blog.
So besides all that school stuff, I'm fixing Darlene the Ukulele. I'll buy a string, get the dudes at the Right-By-Kroger Music Store to string it, and take my uke to school, get my band teacher to tune it, take it home, and thus begins my ukulele playing (or attempts).
I gotta go.
Peace.
P.S. We might be zombies.

The Ukulele Chronicals--Finally in My Life
08/14/2010
Yesterday, I recieved my very own ukulele. Her name is Darlene. She's gonna take a little while to get used to. First, I can't get her tuned!! I tried the piano and a YouTube thing. Graham might have got it, but I don't know.
I'm really excited about getting her though, because there's gonna be a talent show some time this school year (probably at the end of it) and I'll actually enter if I know how to play by then. I've been asked by Kendell, a chick at my school, to play "First Dance" by NeverShoutNever (and sing, which I'm not super excited about), so I'll learn that one (after I learn how to play something other than C Chord, which is a strum where you hold down the third notch on the first string.) So yeah!
Luckily, though I got a "Learn Ukulele Yourself" book at the same time as my uke, so that'll help a bit. (The only problem is that it is VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND IN THE BEGINNING!!) But I'm gonna get lessons, so yeah.
Well, I'm tired, so there's no quote. Peace.

Happy Birthday!
08/13/2010
It's my thirteenth birthday! Hooray for me! I stayed up until I was exactly thirteen and didn't get to take a picture (though I tried). It was 12:15 AM and Megan was on the phone celebrating with me via Text Message. I wanted to go to Maggiano's (THE best Italian restaurant EVER TO EXIST IN THE HISTORY OF ITALIAN EATERIES), but Madison persuaded me to ask to go to The Melting Pot, a fondue place where you dip all of your food in melted substances. I figured it would be nice to go to the molecularly-sped dipping restaurant, so we are most likely going (pictures will be available).
I have recieved ONE present so far, since it was yesterday at school, from a girl named Courtney, AKA Tacoes. She gave me a stick of gum and fourteen cents. I felt special. Abby said she got me a present, but is waiting to give it to me. My mom, though she tries to hide it, is probably getting me a ukulele. If not, I'm getting a FaceBook, at least, and something else along the lines of music, stickers, Play-Doh, money, or a pony. If I don't get a ukulele, I'm buying one. If I DO get a ukulele, I'm saving for a strobe light, which I'm guessing doesn't really cost THAT much. I will probably be wrong. One moment.
---
After Googling "The general cost of a strobe light", I can apparently buy a mini strobe light for about seven dollars. A regular-sized strobe light: I'm not sure. But whatever. I will get one EVEN-TUALLY! (If you've never seen "The Amanda Show", formerly on Nickelodeon, you don't know where I got that.)
So yeah. Happy day! I'm going to try to put some pictures on here.
---------
ALSO:
I am creating a blog post on here that has all of my pictures that I've been taking and forgetting to put on here with captions and fun things on there, so if you're waiting for some color, it's coming.
