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.

A Thesis, or a Theory?
08/11/2010
**Birthday Countdown: Two Days!!**
Hey everybody, guess what day it is?! It's been August Eleventh for five hours and six minutes now and I've experienced every second of it. It's not yet light out, but I can tell it will be soon. In case you've never stayed up all night from at least midnight to the next day's evening, midnight through three AM are the darkest parts of night, or so science says. I disagree. The darkest parts of the day (morning) are right BEFORE the sun begins to turn the sky light blue. Around 4:30 AM, it's really dark out and you will notice because, earlier in the night, you could see the outlines of the trees. You can't now unless you pay really hard attention or you have un-fogged windows like me because it was so humid today after it rained and this is a REALLY LONG RUN0ON SENTANCE!!
Anyway, that had nothing to do with the main point of this blog. The main point of this blog is that I've had a lot of intelectual things going through my mind that take a lot of time and logic to process. I always wished I could discuss them, but couldn't, so I began a document called "A Thesis". A thesis, by my own simplified definition, is the main point or idea of a word group ranging anywhere from a phrase to an award-winning novel. Anyway, I think "thesis" is a better word than "theory" for my document because it's really a bunch of ideas. A theory is more like a study. Well, really, a theory is something that is, or has been, studied and doesn't have an actual answer. Do you think I should change the title of my continuous document to "A Theory" instead of "A Thesis"? I don't think so, but this is defineatly going into it. Thank you Copy&Paste options!
Okay, that's all I had to say about that. Tell me what you think.

Government, Freedom of Speech, People
08/10/2010
**Birthday Countdown: 3 Days**
Welcome back, my compadres. I just wanted to talk about a few things.
I have reinvented the game of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" into metaphorical terms of government. There are still just Rocks, Papers, and Scissors, but the question occured to me long ago. My thoughts were: If the rock crushes the scissors, and the scissors cut the paper into uselessness, why does the paper just cover the rock? It makes no sense that destruction is the name of the game, yet one thing only sets on top of the rock to win. So I began thinking. Maybe I should just change the "paper" to something that the scissors could still destroy, but would also destroy the rock. This didn't work. It took a lot of thinking, but I Googled the game. It says that paper is a "metaphor", which made no sense, because the game would have to be a metaphor (by the way, you just lost the game!) and it isn't. Only paper is. It said paper had more power than rock because it had the power of writing. This makes sense, but not to the rest of the game. It's completely irrelevant! Scissors destroy paper, rock destroys scissors, paper just wins because it's cool like that. No! I disagree. The game is a metaphor, though. It is a metaphor for government.
Lets change the name, keep the form. Paper is now Freedom of Speech (FoS), Rock is now Government (G), and Scissors are now The People (P). The government has power over the people which means G>P. The People are SUPPORTED by Freedom of Speech, which means the people win BECAUSE of FoS = P>FoS. THEN, Freedom of Speech is used to TELL the government what it's supposed to do and what the people want. This means that the People's act is used. Freedom of Speech is USED to defeat the government in the game, as Freedom of Speech is used in the real world to tell the government what we want.
Get it? Good.

Lets change the name, keep the form. Paper is now Freedom of Speech (FoS), Rock is now Government (G), and Scissors are now The People (P). The government has power over the people which means G>P. The People are SUPPORTED by Freedom of Speech, which means the people win BECAUSE of FoS = P>FoS. THEN, Freedom of Speech is used to TELL the government what it's supposed to do and what the people want. This means that the People's act is used. Freedom of Speech is USED to defeat the government in the game, as Freedom of Speech is used in the real world to tell the government what we want.
Get it? Good.

Birthdays and Burp Days
08/09/2010
Sorry for the delay, ever'body, but there is no accessable Interwebs at my dad's apartment unless I'm at our neighbor's apartment and I prefer not to go there unless only about two people are there (otherwise, it is utter chaos). Anyway, I have news!
1. My birthday is (subtract the nine...) FOUR DAYS!!! Yeah. I'm gonna be thirteen (finally). Most people would probably think I was older if I never told my age, but whatever. People can believe whatever they want to, I s'pose.
2. I finally got my babysitting job. Madison came with me, and for that, I am eternally grateful (though my hand won't forgive her)(That story comes later). ANYWAYS, I had to watch a five-month-old baby girl named Alexandra and a four-year-old boy named Phillip. They were both pretty well-tempered/-mannered. Alexandra did good until an hour away from the end when she started crying. We thought she might need a nap, but she just woke up. We thought she was lonely, so we played with her. FINALLY, it was four o'clock and we could feed her and it solved all probalems. Karen, the mom, came and picked us up.
When we were about five minutes from the house, Phillip had to use the bathroom. He used the one at our house (and took his time!) and when the boys (Hudson and Graham), Kyle, and Mallory got home, he just happens to walk out of the bathroom without pants. (Rare emote: XD) Hudson, who was the first person to walk in the house keeps going on about it like it's super hilarious, which it was, but I mean, come on. So yeah.
. . .
Hey! Ben Jamin' is here! Ben... something... I'll fill that in later. Okay, so yeah, he's here. He's a talented musician who we're begging to put his stuff on iTunes. I'm pretty sure he's got a MySpace with his music on it, but I don't know if it's still there. So when I fill in his last name, look him up on MySpace, okay? DO IT!! Listen to "Little Red Dime" or "Free Bird" if it's there. They're pretty awesome. (Teehee Moment - "Civilation!") In "Free Bird", he was going to use the word "civilation" when he realized that's not a real word... so it's civilization now.
Yeah. He's cool. Check 'im out.

Hello, Again, World of the Interwebs
8/04/2010
**Update: Nine Days Until My Birthday**
Hi ever'one! Guess what? I'm sorry. Very much. Why? Because I have abandoned you. I'm sorry, but I'm with my dad at his apartments and nobody has Wi-Fi without passwords that we know (except this awesome neighbor!). So yeah. (Welcome back, Self) (Thank you, Me!)
Anyway, here's what's goin' on. I wrote a birthday list because, yeah, my birthday's coming up. On the list, there were 33 items. Spoiled? Me? No. I repeated "Concert Ukulele" over twenty times. Yeah, I promise. Once I go back home, I'll scan it for you and show you. I promise!
Another quick thing. I'm getting a job Monday. It's just an ordinary teen job: Babysitter. Yup. I get to sit on babies! One's a girl who's not even a year old and a boy who's a few years old. Alexandra and Phillip.
Okay, the computer's about to die, so yeah.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game
7/30/2010
Last night, Abagail, Madison, Mallory, Graham, Hudson, Kyle, and I (That's sort of a lot of people!) went to a Nashville Sounds game. We left early, but it was getting late (and we were losing...). Yeah. There were some interesting things going on, though. Ozzie danced (and was attacked by Madison, Hudson, and I). He "kissed" me with his nose (WHICH IS PLASTIC AND IT HURT!) and yeah. Hudson tried to kiss Ozzie, but Ozzie freaked out and left. Well, he went the same direction as us, but we left. Also, there was some dude carrying around popcorn who was a spicy taco (Which is "Metalk" for hot dude).
Also, Abby tried to get me to wear makeup. *Inner BLEH*
Anyway, QUOTES ARE BACK! YAY!

Week of Camp 2!
7/27/2010
(Sorry for the delay)
Blog Entry 1-
7/19/2010
I've returned to camp... yesterday. Sorry, but, no worries, nothing happened. I'm staying in Hogan, a multi-cabin area. The cabins are cool. Each one has two stories and each story has three bunk beds; 12 people in each cabin. Yup...
So we vaulted and rode bare-back today. I cried while vaulting (Heights FREAK ME OUT, YO!). Plus, we rode General and he's HUGE. He's about five-and-a-half feet (I don't know what that is in hands) tall.
IN OTHER NEWS: Punky is living with us! Yay! Punky's a chick with dreads. She's cool and spunky (like Punky). I'm still talking about Punky... I like rhymes...
ANYWAY!
Punky's just cool, so SHUT UP!
I didn't mean to yell...
I'm dearly sorry.

New favorite! New favorite horse, that is. His name's Hero. He's a P.O.A. (Pony of America). Well, I call them Ponies of THE AmericaS. I dunno. Anyway, he's super awesome.
We went on a mock fox hunt today. The fox was a picture and the hounds were papers with beagles on them that pointed in the direction we were supposed to go. While on the hunt, I saved someone's life. Not really. We had these challenges that came up throughout the game. One was that Yogi (one of the horses in our group) "stepped in a hole and injured his ankle" and them mine was that a girl (Kat) "hurt her wrist" and I had to wrap it in gauze. No reason; just the game.
So yeah, we found the fox!
Oh, and we have to wear half-chaps. They're actually sort of comfortable, but the first day you wear them... ugh... They take AT LEAST two people to put them on. One girl required FOUR FLIPPING PEOPLE to put her's on.
I'm tired, peace out.

Today, I rode Clyde! Yay! He was awesome. We trotted, including posting, and two-pointed over ground poles. I jumped, or attempted to jump, with a horse named Trinket. He was awesome.
So it stormed today. Some horses sort of freaked out. They all looked like Appaloosas after the rain. Teehee? Yeah...
So my friend (Kat) showed me this musical artist named Imogen Heap. She has the original to the Jason Derulo song "Whatcha Say" called "Hide and Seek". Check it out though. I'll add a link to the YouTube page:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4OLQB7ON9w
We swam a little while ago. Punky is teaching Mallory how to dive.
QUICK END!

Today was the last full day. We're leaving tomorrow and we're already packed. We had Final Campfire, which is a time where we do skits and stuff. It was sad afterwards. We were singing "Linger" and then sang "Green Trees" (a girl scout song) and "Taps". A bunch of chicks were crying and such.
I cried. It's always sad to leave, but you get over it in a few days (or just one!).
Also, Ivan, an awesome Shire horse that's been at camp since I was BORN(!) is retiring. He's going to one of the camper's house. His best friend, Reba, lives there, too. He's had an interesting life. He used to be in the circuis carrying lions and tigers on his back and was a national champion vaulting horse. He retired from vaulting a few years ago and now we have new horses to replace that. There aren't many horses like him, though. He's always calm and collected and he can be used for a lot of things. He's used on trails, training in walk and trot (he can no longer canter due to bodily issues), jumping, vaulting, and being the best horse ever. So yeah.
I'm leaving tomorrow.
Sadness.
-Wolf
----------------------------------------------
Today!
I left camp and I'm at home. I just met up with Abby and we went a mall (a crappy mall, I might add). Well, not neccisarily "Crappy", but a mall that women with a lot (A LOT) of money go to when they need expensive $400 dresses and matching prices with their purses. There wasn't even a Hot Topic! The only stores I knew were Macy's, Dillard's, GAP, and Claire's. I bought a hat, a drink, and a pretzel while I was there. I was there for four hours.
ANYWAY! I'm glad to be back in the blogging world.
*Thought of the Day* I only wonder what that person was doing when they discovered that cows produce milk...

Week One of Camp
7/16/10
Blog Entry 1:
7/11/10
We have just arrived in the cabin a few hours ago. We're staying in one that I didn't expect to be in, but it's still awesome. Anyway, NO HILLS! YAY!
Spork, our counselor/cabin leader, is here so that's cool. She's just spunky. I thought I should say that about her. It's true, ya know. Mallory is here with me, too, but Madison isn't. She's not coming until she can train to be a counselor/barn staff.
--------------------------------------------------------
We're not doing anything today, but we'll be riding horses and climbing trees by tomorrow.
- Wolf
P.S. Pictures will be put on the blog as long as they don't include people other than myself or Mallory (unless my face is still burnt).
P.S.S. No quotes, sorry.

Blog Entry 2:
7/11/10
Friend made! I just thought I should say that. This blog will be continued in a few hours. I needed to write, so I wrote this little shnibblette...
----------------------------------------------------
Okay, it's been about two hours since Part One of Part Two of this blog. So yeah. (There's about four girls singing Taylor Swift beside me... one thinks she's "Gangster"...). There's some other stuff going on right now.
1. THUNDER STORMS! Yay!
2. Oh Crap. They're singing "Part in the U.S.A."
Joy...
Well, that's probably the end to this part of the blog right now, but I might write later... maybe not.

I'm in the barn.
----------------
Not anymore. There was a bit of a tragety... someone died! Just kidding. A girl got her foot stepped on the foot by Clyde, my favorite horse, as she dismounted. She's fine, though, and Clyde is still my favorite.
So apparently, there's a surprise for us at the Red Barn, the "Cafeteria". We're having our cookout there, which is weird because it's cook OUT. But whatever; there's air conditioning.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In case you were wondering, the camp owns about 42 horses ranging from ages 3 to about 25. Colors are all over: duns, bays, chestnut, roans (Clyde!), and a variety of many others. Some breeds include Shires, Clydesdales, Tennessee Walking Horses, Shetland Ponies, Blue Roans, Paints, and Thouroghbreds.
So, obviously, we have a lot of shapes, sizes, colors, breeds, etc., etc...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I brought my Build-A-Bear owl, Hedwig (I know; not very original name, but Harry Potter rocks socks.). He's wearing jeans and a hood made out of an old bandana. I thought I should add that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I'mma go now.
-Wolf
P.S. I got 5 syllables for you: AIR CONDITIONING! YEAH! ("Yeah" doesn't count as my syllables...)

Today's... Wednesday? I think so. No, scratch that, it's Tuesday! Happy Tuesday, ever'one! I rode another favorite horse today: Ivan. He's a Shire from a circus. He's super calm and very well trained. (The camp sort of saved him - he had to carry tigers (and lions and bears, oh my!) and such.).
So yeah, it rained, so we missed High Ropes, a rope obsticle course in the trees. We didn't shower last night because of the thunder storms, but we got one this morning while High Ropes was cancelled.
Apparently, Spork, our counselor, thought she was going crazy 'cause she heard these voices... Turned out it was Mallory and my mail. Yup, my mom sent us "Mr. Men, Little Miss" stuffed figurines that talk. Thanks, Mom... Just kidding, they're entertaining. (I GOT MR. TICKLE!) Cartoons rock, yo.

Peace out, home-dogs.

Day is Done, Gone the Sun. (Quote, Taps). So yeah. Shower: Check. Bed: Check.
Ready for bed? I AM! I'm so tired... though I feel a slight urge to get up and dance... Just kidding.
We went swimming after dinner and had fun, and then took showers and headed back to Pine Hill.

I skipped a day! Sorry.
Anyway, we had a watery horse day. Nova (a mustang) was my team's horse. It was pretty fun, but we were seriously soaked afterwards.
-------------------------------------------
We have to do a skit for the end of camp and I have to be a counselor named Cornbread. I have to step up and say "Please and thank you, girlies". So yeah...
--------------------------------------------------------------
So yeah... Peace.
-Wolf

TODAY.
So I just got back from camp a few hours ago. I'm at my dad's apartment and COUNSELORS LIVE HERE. It's weird. It's at least Skittles (or someone who looks like her), but someone who we think is Jingles came to drop her off or something. It was cool.
Still no quotes!

Away for a While
7/10/2010
Hi everyone! I just wanted to tell you that for a week (and repeat again), I will not be blogging. I have to get camping and there's no Internet or any use for a computer anyway, so yeah.
Here's the deal. I'll be blogging by paper and keeping track of everything and taking pictures and it'll be cool. I'll enter all of the posts as one gigantic week-post. It will be called... Chose D'enorme. P.S. The "E" in "D'enorme" should have an accent on it, but I just spend twenty minutes trying to copy/paste/ALT/Configure my computer so I could put the little ` over that very E, but it failed tremedously.
ANYWAY, Chose D'e`norme means "Huge Thing". I tried stuff like "Big Event" and "Large Post", but they were boring. Huge Thing is WAY cooler.
So anyway, there's going to be a stopping in blogging for a little while, only a week, and then it'll happen again, but I'll have a day to enter my blogs from paper. Here's a simple way to put it:

Hi everyone! I just wanted to tell you that for a week (and repeat again), I will not be blogging. I have to get camping and there's no Internet or any use for a computer anyway, so yeah.
Here's the deal. I'll be blogging by paper and keeping track of everything and taking pictures and it'll be cool. I'll enter all of the posts as one gigantic week-post. It will be called... Chose D'enorme. P.S. The "E" in "D'enorme" should have an accent on it, but I just spend twenty minutes trying to copy/paste/ALT/Configure my computer so I could put the little ` over that very E, but it failed tremedously.
ANYWAY, Chose D'e`norme means "Huge Thing". I tried stuff like "Big Event" and "Large Post", but they were boring. Huge Thing is WAY cooler.
So anyway, there's going to be a stopping in blogging for a little while, only a week, and then it'll happen again, but I'll have a day to enter my blogs from paper. Here's a simple way to put it:

Abby, Aardvarks, ad Unneccesary Laughter
7/10/2010
So guess where I am?! ABBY'S HOUSE!!!
We went to see Eclipse and I laughed a few unneccesary times. Here's a list of a few things I laughed at for no reason at the hilarious movie and a few people around us.
1. A Lady Falling. She tripped on a stair or something, but it was funny.
2. The Graphics. The graphics in this movie are aful, in which case, making them super hilarious. I reccomend seeing this badly graphimatized movie.
3. Hitting Things. Bella hits something at one point in the movie and I thought it was funny. It might not have been Bella, but it was obviously funny.
4. Punching Faces and Breaking Hands. Bella broke her hand while punching Jacob. It was funny.
5. "I'm Hotter than You!!". Jacob told Edwart that he was he was hotter than him because Bella was freezing in the blizzards of the moutain tops and Edwart couldn't help her so Jacob came and kept her warm, but he told Edward that he was hotter than him. I thought this was humorous.

Home for Now
7/09/2010
So I'm home in Nashville for a few days, literally. I'm only here for two days now. There's a few things that are going to go on while I'm here, though.
First, I've got to go shopping. I don't like shopping, or at least, not much. There's always trying on clothes, finding the clothes, and all the walking around the same thing four-thousand times. Well, luckily, there will be minimal clothes shopping and lots of camp shopping. We'll probably get stuff like ponchoes, tiny Germ-X's, tissues, and disposable cameras. We've got most of the stuff, like clothes, socks, shoes, bug spray, sunscreen, ect. So yeah.
Second, I get to see one of my best friends (she is my best friend in Nashville), maybe, and go on a boat! I love boats. We're going on a pontoon (pontune?) boat. IT HAS A SLIDE!!! It has to be exciting.
Third, I have to end this post.

Five Hours to a Good, Southern Place
7/08/2010
Blog Entry: 7/08/2010
I've been on the plane for an hour and twenty minutes, about. I don't know were we are exactly, but I'm guessing it's somewhere around Nevada, or somewhere off to the east of it by a bit.
I bought the book Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games. It's pretty awesome. (**SPOILER**) Peeta proposed to Katniss for publicity! (Well, that and to express his true, undying love for her that clicked in his beautiful, boyish mind from the moment he focused on her starving body...)
So yeah. Time: (WA Time) 12:26
------------------------------------
Okay, I was wrong. Apparently, we're taking the route going east from Washington aand then heading south after a certain point is reacher. We're in Montana right now...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1:44 PM
We're two hours away and my bladder is slowly slipping away from me. Hopefully, it will last another half of the flight.
--------------------------
2:43 PM
There's less than half an hour left in our flight. We haven't died yet, though Mallory has passed out, as well as I had.
----------------------
2:52 PM
Descending!
--------------
This was as far as I went while blogging aboard the plane. We got off the plane at about six o'clock (Central Time). My iPod's clock might have been off a few hours. Where is Cupertino, U.S.A.? GOOGLE! Cupertino is in California. I wish I knew how to make music notes...
Anyway, yeah, we're home. Katie's right here beside me. (Katie is my cat, in case you weren't aware.) (*No Picture Available of Katie Other than Ones That are Already Posted...)
I'll post some plane pictures and, if we took any other good pictures while in Washington, I'll post them too.

A Long Plane Ride to My Own Bed
7/08/2010
So I just had a short conversation with my Grandpa. Since it's midnight, almost 1 A.M., he suggested all of us just staying up all night since none of us were alseep anyway and then sleeping on the plane (since it's FIVE HOURS!). I told him this:
"Well, I'm working my way there right now, but either way, if I stay up all night and not sleep or stay up really late and sleep a little, I'll still be able to sleep on the plane, so everything's working out for me."
I just thought I should say that while it was fresh in my mind.
Anyway, I'm leaving TECHNICALLY today, since, as I said before, it's already past midnight. The flight's at eleven... so we're getting up at six thirty. Yeah, but it'll work out. We get up at six thirty, leave at seven, get to the airport by eight, and then we have three hours to go through luggage swap-a-ma-diggy and security, eat breakfast (or lunch, depending on what time it is after the luggage swap-a-ma-diggy), and then have about an HOUR to wait to board the plane which will probably be filled with tears, excitement, and a variety of seasonal fruits.
Also, in case you were wondering about the title, I really want to go home for two days (and camp) because I'll get my own bed again! Yup. A fourteen-year-old, almost thirteen-year-old, and an eleven-year-old are all squishing together every night for bed in a queen-sized blow-up matress in a lofty room that is SUPER hot right now because Everett has hit record-high heat today at 80-some degrees.

How to Make Kory's Head Explode
7/07/2010
Early, early this morning (around 2), I learned how to make Kory's head explode. I thought I should share with you.
How to Make Kory's Head Explode: A Few Simple Steps
1. Talk loudly and obnoxiously. Apparently this gets on a few people's nerves sometimes.
2. Play "Two-Person Duck-Duck-Goose". To be even more annoying and obnoxious, play "One-Person Duck-Duck-Goose".
3. The Point System. Every time he swears and/or says something stupid, take away about 7,000 points.
4. Make a "How to Make Kory's Head Explode" list on your blog.
5. Pet his head-fuzz.

Movie Madness and Below-Average Blogs
7/07/2010
Okay, about the "Below-Average" in "Below-Average Blogs", I just needed a "B" word for blogs as I did an "M" word for Movies.
Lets begin, shall we?
Okay, so lately, I've watched a lot of old Disney/childhood movies. I watched Mosters Inc. not too long ago and Madeline on the same night (technically, morning). So now, I attempted to watch the first episode of Pokemon, but the nice-quality episodes didn't have all of it, which SUCKED. So now I'm watching Toy Story 2. I'll be seeing Toy Story 3, hopefully, before it goes out of theaters, which won't be soon. Just look at Avatar. It was in theaters for a few months. (It was awesome, if you haven't seen it!)
--------------------------------------
Below-Average:Momentary Pause in Production::In-Frequent:Not Happening Often
So, what I mean (if that made no sense, which I'm pretty sure it didn't), is that I won't be making any blogs for about a week and then I'll have a long blog, and then it'll happen again one more time.
I'm sorry, but I won't have a computer, or Internet, for that matter, for a week. I'll be in Ashland City doing some super important business. That business would be camping. I'll be at a Girl Scout camp for a week pretty soon. I'll have a day off from it at the end and then I'll be right back to it again for another week. That'll be about it. Just to let you know though, the blogs at the end of the week will be super long, most likely, because they will be about everything I did within the week. Also, I will work very hard on transfering them to here, because I'll be typing them all from a notepad. I do this with my iPod blogs, too, because I can't get it to transfer, but whatever.
That's about it, and in honor of Pokemon, I've chosen a Pokemon quote for my ending.

Skate Deck, McDonalds, and Airplanes
7/06/2010
Hello again, it's 9:20 PM in Nashville, so it's seven, here. Yay, numbers!(?)
So anyway, today we FINALLY did something! Even though we're leaving the day after tomorrow, that is. We went to the Skate Deck. It's about half of a mile from my grandparent's house. It's not far. My mom used to always go there and stay ALL DAY. They used to know the owner, but he's not the same dude as before and by that, I mean there's a different owner of the same place. Well, we were there (we, being my two sisters, and I) with Kory and his sister who is my age, Kiera. We skated, stared at people who skated, laughed at falling people, laughed at Kory who fell and nearly slammed his face into the wall, and ate super-hot French fries that took ten minutes to get.
It was all really fun, but I think the Skate Deck isn't as good as the Skate Center, even though the distance from here to the Skate Deck is less than five minutes and the distance from our house in Nashville to the Skate Center is about half-an-hour.
----------------------------------------------------------------
We went to McDonalds afterwards. I had Chicken McNuggets because I'm cool like that. (P.S. The Happy Meal toys for the Airbender movie that's coming out are all super violent!!) Anyway, McDonalds. I had my camera with me since I took some pictures and a dark video at the Skate Deck, I decided to capture a moment of Madison. I think I should change that. A Moment of Madison. See what I did there?
ANYWAY^2, here's the picture:
Yup. There's Madison sippin' on a McDonalds drink. (P.S. I'm not advertising, I promise!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So we're leaving in two days. After those two days, I'll have two days at home before I venture off the Ashland City. There, I'll be going to camp to ride a few horses and possibly fall off (which has happened to me before because of a rabbit...). So yeah, I'll have very few days that I will use to (1) buy a few extra things to take along with me and (2) wash everything in my suitcase right now so I won't even have to worry about packing clothes.
So yeah.

Like Five Seconds Ago...
7/06/2010
Okay, I just posted like five seconds ago, but there's some stuff that (1) I needed to add and didn't feel like actually editing, and (2) needed to point out.
1. While going to McDonalds, via car, we jammed out to this sorta old song called... I don't know what the actual title is. I guess it's "Knock Three Times". It's a song, that's sort of stalker-ish, I might add, but it's really good. Madison did this round-the-world kind of thing with her arm, like a cheerleader thing, for the "Knock Three Times(!) on the ceiling if you WA-ANT me!" and I tried it and I sort of punched myself in the nose! Seriously! No blood though. Sorry if you wanted me to get hurt, but I didn't. Sorry.
2. There's a few new things, not really a few, but there's some stuff! First, if you started following me on the blog like two days ago when it started (it started a few weeks ago, but it's not very old!!), all of the stuff on the edges were like "Followers" "Blog Archives" "Profile", so I changed it to "Some Crazies that Found Me", "Some Old Stuff You Might Find Interesting" and "Me, Myself, and I - What I'm About". I just thought you should know. Also, below my posts, now, there are some little buttons, three of them. They say "Awesome" "Pretty Good" and "Okay", I think. I know the first and last ones are right, but the "Pretty Good" might be something else. I dont' know. I never edit this stuff...
But anyway, yeah, rate my videos and if you leave me a comment I'll be super happy!

Midnight McDonalds
7/06/2010
So at exactly midnight, we were in the car. We were hungry and with Grandpa at midnight, so what else were we gonna do? Sit around and wait for the world to set off some sort of volcanic eruption that happened to make chocolate shakes with fries stuck all in shoot up from the carpeted, cuddly floors of my grandparent's snuggly Everett home? No! We were going to McDonalds because why? WE WANTED TO!!
Also, we're going skating tomorrow with Kory and his awesome sister, Keira.
(**Hey.**) This quote will be explained if you read past it. Just to let you know.*
"They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist--"**
--General John Cedric (as he stood, staring across the Confederate lines...)
**When I say "Staring across the Confederate lines", I mean they were at war. There was another army coming at them... I think you can see where that went...
*I stole this from VlogBrothers, so THANK YOU, John, for posting that "50 Famous Quotes" thing and THANK YOU, Hank, for posting those "50 Jokes" videos.

Five Dollars Richer/I Could'a Won Jeopardy
7/05/2010
Here is the story of how I became five dollars richer.
I was sitting in the most comfortable chair in the world and my grandpa come in the room.
"I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry for any time that I bugged you or made you embarassed," he says.
"Well, I accept your apology," I reply.
"Thank you, then."
"You're welcome. That'll be five bucks."
"Well you're in luck! I have five dollars!"
And that's the story of how I became five dollars richer. Here's a picture:
So yeah. I don't know what I was doing with the whole "lookin' up" type thing, but whatever. There's Abraham Lincoln in my picture. We're best friends.
--------------------------------------------------------------
In other news, I think I could have won Jeopardy today. It's the kid's special thing for the week and I got a lot of answers right, sort of. I knew the last question (answer, technically) right. It was the easiest thing ever if you know what koalas are. The "answer" was something like "Born in (enter African country here), these were the first two twins of this species born named 'Euka' and 'Lyptous'". The two wrong guesses were Zebras and Platipi. The one who won was the only girl on there. I forget her name, but that could have been me.

A Piece of the Ukulele Chronicles: My Wants of a Ukulele
7/04/2010
So I've been thinking about my Ukulele Chronicles a lot lately. I REALLY want a ukulele! It's getting kind of crazy. I've searched ukuleles, I've watched videos on them, I just want one! It's super weird on how I got into this. It was mostly because of Christofer Drew. He plays uke, and I thought it was cool. That's about it.
Ukuleles are kind of a trend now, if you hadn't noticed. Everyone plays one now! It's like I won't be any different from other people, but it's not like every day you walk down the street and see seven people just sitting around, playing ukulele for cash. No, you see guitars. You don't go to your kid's recitals and they all play ukulele. No, it's piano (or guitar now). It's weird. They're popular, but they aren't super popular.
I don't know. Just put the quote up!
"Now everybody's got a crazy notion of their own. Some like to mix with a crowd, some like to be alone. It's none of their business, as far as I can see, but every time I go out, the people stare at me with me little ukulele in me hand."

So I've been thinking about my Ukulele Chronicles a lot lately. I REALLY want a ukulele! It's getting kind of crazy. I've searched ukuleles, I've watched videos on them, I just want one! It's super weird on how I got into this. It was mostly because of Christofer Drew. He plays uke, and I thought it was cool. That's about it.
Ukuleles are kind of a trend now, if you hadn't noticed. Everyone plays one now! It's like I won't be any different from other people, but it's not like every day you walk down the street and see seven people just sitting around, playing ukulele for cash. No, you see guitars. You don't go to your kid's recitals and they all play ukulele. No, it's piano (or guitar now). It's weird. They're popular, but they aren't super popular.

Blog Sandwich
7/05/2010
Hello again, Internet(ers?). Sorry about the two-day delay in blogs. I've just been at Carman's little cabin out in Index. It was fun.
Here's the deal, the Blog Sandwich will work because I've got two days' worth of blogs with me on my iPod. Please excuse the dates, for they are not the dates of today, which is stated above, obviously.
Blog Entry: 7/03/2010
So we're at Carman's cabin (again, GREAT hotdogs**). We saw the Big Tree and the Big Rock and they both seriously fit the title. One big tree right there, my friends. (There might eventually be a picture here, but I doubt it, sorry.)
We hung out with this little girl whose about eight or so, actually seven. She's super full of energy and a bit annoying. Worse than ME annoying. It was pretty awful, but she's gone now. Her parents lost a dog, too. It's the most adorable dog ever and it was startled by some pre-Fourth fireworks. I hope they find it. I'm praying for them.
P.S. They found him!
Blog Entry: 7/04/2010
Happy Fourth, everybody! It was a fun day. There were limited fireworks in the sky, but we had a variety of other ones including poppers, sparklers, smoke bombs, and other ground objects (like these super awesome tank things that shot flaming bullets!!). I thought they were cool.
Galena, the dog, will be very much burnt tomorrow. Every firework was threatened by Galena, and vice versa. She annoys the crap out of everyone with fetch, rubbing her wet pelt on everyone, and just getting in the way, but she's a great dog. A chocolate lab, in case you were wondering.
We had a lot of fun, and it was amazing.

Giraffes Without Showers on the Fourth of July
7/02/2010
So tomorrow is July third, obviously. I'll be going to Carman's cabin (They have GREAT hotdogs!) (inside joke) and here's some news.
I can tell Madison is going to be a little weird while we're there. There's no electricity, no running water, and we'll be using an out house. I'm fine with that. I like camping like that (maybe minus the no showers), but it's only until Monday.
So what this has to do with giraffes is... there's tons of them in the wild here! Just kidding. Madison uses the word "Giraffe" every day. It's become a universal answer. Here's a few examples:
1. "We're going to Carman's house tomorrow, right?"
"Giraffe."
"Okay."
2. "What do you want for dinner?"
"Giraffe."
"That's a little disturbing."
3. "Hi."
"Giraffe."
"Elephant?"
So yeah, it's a bit odd around here. Well I'm gonna go now...

A Blog's a Blog, but This is Real Life
7/02/2010
So I got my first follower today. He's just an author/all-around awesome person. I just wanted to put that out there. (Hi, Rossi!)
Anyway, back to the blog. So I have an iPod Touch. It's really fun and helps whenever you're feeling bored or just like you shouldn't be doing anything else. Well I've go this game. It's called Virtual Villagers 3: The Lost City. I knew a few cheats for it, so I kept restarting it to get a certain person, but it apparently didn't work. It's was a complete waste of three minutes. Now, all of the people are sick! It sucks. But, you know, it's not like it's real life. It's a simulation of a some-what realistic scenario, if you count a bunch of people being washed onto a stranded island having to learn how to build, research, heal, and farm realistic. It mostly is. It's realistic fiction, let's put it that way, okay?
Okay. So another thing I think I should put out there is that I talk to myself a lot. I just started noticing it. Well, I noticed it before, but I realize how much I do it. For instance, I'll say something, but then my second side bursts in and says something like "Why would you say something like that? That's really pointless," and it goes on like that. I reply to myself. And also, I answer my own questions. I know people think that's creepy sometimes, but it's logical. I ask a question because I can't think of the answer, but then I find it stored in the back of my mind and then just say it out loud to let people know (and it's fun watching them kind of freak out over my weird behavior).
And the final thing I'm going to say is Quotes. I think I'll put a quote at the end of every post now. I have one that Rossi (my first follower, like I said before) tried to post on one of my posts, (that's a lot of posts) but it didn't make it. I think I'll use it now and get going. Probably check my virtual villagers, who will be sadly dead soon...

Christofer Drew and Jeans
7/02/2010
So Christofer Drew's a really cool dude. He's a singer/song writer. I guess you could say he's like a pop artist, but he's more alternative to me. Anyway, I was listening to his song, Trampoline, and in the comments, everything was like "I love Chris Drew" "I have a trampoline!" (because it was about him falling in love with someone on a trampoline.), but there was one person at the end. The comment was "Where does he buy his jeans?"
I thought it was funny and that you all should know. It's 5:42 (in Tennessee), but I'm not there, so whatever.

Weird Conversations with Kory
7/02/2010
It's currently 2:22 (make a wish).
The conversations I've had with my cousin Kory... awkward.
1. Halo Hospital. We had a short conversation about video games which led to Halo Hospital. Demetri Martin, a really cool comedian dude, had the idea of making a game where instead of hurting and killing people, you heal thim in a big hospital for the video game characters. Halo Hospital!
2. They Get Cold in Winter! My little sister, Mallory, and I were talking. We play with stuffed animals when we're really bored, but "yesterday" she said her pig couldn't breathe so I said he's not real so she doesn't breathe anyway. Her comeback was "Well, you play with stuffed animals and so they talk, they breathe, and they get cold in the winter!" It doesn't have much to do with Kory, but he was there and we made of fun of Mallory together. (Ah, bonding. Not really, though.)
3. Legs. Apparently I need to shave. It's now being used against me because I was talking WAY too much so Kory threatened to pull leg hair out... it's really awkward, but it happened.
4. Stupid People. We started watching some show with people doing a bunch of stunts (including jumping into a vat of icy water in the wild wearing mascot costumes. Thank you, Kory, for bringing that into our lives...
That's all I can think of right now. You now know how awkward it can be to live with (well, be around for a long period of time) Kory.

SO MANY FLIPPING POSTS
The Same Day As Before/Today/This Year
Fourth post.
DANG IT! I should have saved four posts for the fourth of July...
Well anyway, I was searching Blogspot for a blog to follow. I've found nothing. Yes, there are a lot of things that would be interesting to other people (especially gardeners... wow they like to blog), but not Chloe`, A.K.A The Hatted Wonder, A.K.A. Wolf. I need SOMETHING to look forward to everyday other than waking up at 2 p.m. and staying up until four in the morning (which usually only happens while I'm in Washington. Usually I'm up at noon! *winky face, not an emote*). But anyway: NO BLOG. I like reading and watching what other people have to say, usually vlogs on YouTube, but that's fashion or something.
Whatever.

Bing
7/01/2010
So I realized a few seconds ago that I'd never tested Bing.com out. So I did.
My results were very unsatisfactory. The reason Bing.com had been invented, apparently, was because Google and Yahoo and other search websites had too many link to give you answers to your problem. I figured Bing would just be website that helps you find a website by taking you to the one that fits your problem the best. Wrong. Bing has links, too. It's all links. It's practically Google 2.0. I find that very unpleasing. I figured Bing would be something I might use, not that Google's not a good thing (I love you, Google), but you know, it'd be a shortcut.
So, in short, if you wanted Bing to be a Skip-To-The-Website-Instead-of-the-Links, just go to good ol' Google and click "I'm Feeling Lucky".

So Little Importance...
7/01/2010
Hey it's the first of a new month. Another day to look forward to, sort of. We're not doing anything today...
But anyway, I'm a new blogger and I know that this must happen to all new bloggers. I'm pretty sure nobody's discovered my blog. It's not like they search random things like "sofarsosummer.blogspot" so I'm in a down spot. I'll probably end up Googling... wait one sec...
I'm back. I'm apparently doing good in most domains to getting more veiws of my blog. I sound really needy right now, don't I? What do you want me to do? Video tape me on my knees, begging people to read my blogs? No! I refuse, even though it might work. I'm not going to do that.
Viral videos? That might work, but I don't make videos. It'd be kind of cool though, right? Me being in a viral video for the world to see and know? Yeah, but what would I do?
I know: I'd have a video of me falling down the stairs in a desperate attempt to get to a large cake or something. I don't know...
Whatever, I'll just keep blogging. Who said this was for other readers? It's for me!
Well, technically, self, you made this so other people can read about it, too.
So?
So it is about other people. You want them to read it, that's why you're all like: "READ MY BLOGS!!!"
There's no reason to use three excalamations, Self.
Shut up, Me!
Woah, that was really unneccisary.
I'm sorry, Me.
It's okay, Self. I forgive you... as long as you read my blogs.
I'm you and you're me so we both together already read our blog because we're me!
That was confusing.
So is your mind. Sign off already!
Fine!

Red Fish, Blue Fish
6/30/2010
So the title to this blog has nothing to do with the blog what so ever...
Wait! YES IT DOES! I UNDERSTAND NOW!
The Fourth of July (A.K.A. Independance Day) is on July fourth! Of course it is!
Anyway, I'm going to a lovely cabin without any electricity or indoor plumbing for a few days for the occasion. I'm going to be with Carman, our lovely "God-Mother" (not really), her husband, and two little boys (who are super adorable, might I add).
So the "Red Fish, Blue Fish" things comes in because it's like red and blue are two of the American colors and stuff...
I'm going nowhere with his blog. Bye.

Fire in Ice
6/28/2010
Ah, Washington. A place so seemingly dreary and cold. It is always the same: a rainy morning, a few clouds left over until noon, a sunny evening, and fire?
There's been fires everywhere since we've been here! In Montana, I think, there's some wild fire going on and several people are being evacuated. There's been a fire almost every day for the past forever, too. It's always in an apartment or something, too. Today, two fires were reported: one yesterday, one today. Yesterday was in a house and the only one who didn't survive was the cat... sadness. Today, a fire started in a condominium where one unit was smoking and stuff when the fire fighters arrived. One guy died.
So to total that up, in all places, one of the coldest, dreariest places in America has a bunch of fires. Tennessee's last fire... I dunno. Probably during the flood.
In other news, I got more iTunes money! Yay! Time to jam out to all of my favorite songs that I hadn't bought. It's around my iTunes Anniversary, too. Some time around today, I got my iPod Touch and an iTunes account which now holds my dear music close to it's electric data base.
Music Rocks, no doubt 'bout it.

When the Individuals Collide, They Create Fantastic Rationalizations
6/28/2010
So last night, or this morning, I guess, I came up with a cool title as the title of this post is. It just sounded cool, so I started a story that will probably go nowhere, butt it might be headed in a good direction after I write a bit more in it. It's about individualistic people who find each other and yhada yhada... so forth.
So yeah.

If Anyone Asks, I Got Up at Six
6/28/2010
So I haven't been able to sleep tonight, so it's now 8:03. If anyone asks, I got up at 6:00. I tried to sleep, really, but it didn't work. I don't feel very groggy right now, which is good, so I'll just stay up today and go to bed early, I guess. I probably didn't sleep because, literally, I drank a bottle of Coke before going to sleep so, in short, it went like this.
I went to the fridge and got a bottle of Coke. I opened it. I drank it. I washed out the bottle and threw it in the recycles. I said "Good night" to my grandpa (who rocks). I went to bed. Or tried to, at least.
So yeah, I'm gonna go now... bye.

The Aspirations of a Creative Individual
6/27/2010
So today (which just started, I might add), I realized that I have lots of aspirations, and I always set out to reach my goals.
For instance, I wanted to be a writer. I began a novel.
I wanted to be a vetinarian. I spend hours learning about animals and healing them.
I wanted to learn ukulele. I'm now on the verge of buying one and I will be teaching myself how to play it.
I wanted to start a blog. What are you reading right now, again?
So, in closure, I've apparently acquired a taste for setting my own goals and setting my mind towards them.
Join the revolution.

The Ukulele Chronicles - Part One - The Hunt

So earlier today, I decided I wanted a ukulele. It seems like a good start to string instruments because apparently Guitar Hero doesn't count as an actual instrument...
But anyway, I've looked around on eBay and Craig's List (which surprised me at how few people in Nashville have ukes for sale, which is a total of ZERO.) and so I'm either getting one from Nashville's numerous shops or I'll order one. Either way, I have to pay for it.
When I searched for ukulele prices on Google, the first thing I saw must have been a high-class uke, because it's lowest price was $550.00 for a 4-string. I saw several ukuleles on eBay for about 40, 50, and 60 dollars. That would be an awesome price, but I'm probably not ordering one, just because of waiting and auctioning isn't always the best thing (even though you can just buy one instead of auction on eBay). There's probably several low-price guitar stores with ukuleles and I intend on finding one with good intentions on what I'll be buying.
I knew that I wanted a ukulele because of my favorite band/mucisian person, NeverShoutNever, A.K.A. Christofer Drew. A lot of his songs are ukulele songs and they sound really nice. I figured, "Hey, why not learn to play some of his songs?" and thus, I have begun my search for a uke myself.
I want a Concert (soprano) ukulele. It's the ukulele that's size is a little bigger than the traditional uke, and more people play it now-a-days. It'll most likely come with a case already and then the only thing I'll need is patience and the internet! Yes, I'm going to learn my songs off the internet. Hey, why not use the free source to anything and everything? That's my theory here.
End of Part One.

Just to Put it Out There...
6/26/2010
To begin, wow I've been blogging a lot today...
You can't tell, but I put those periods down really slow.
ANYWAY, I thought I should just put some of this out there. Nobody is reading this, most likely, but whatever. Nobody reads blogs except cool people.
1. New Favorite:
a. Band/Musical Person/group/Thing - Never Shout Never (A.K.A. Christofer Drew Ingle)
b. Book - The Hunger Games (I already told you this...)
c. Show - Not sure, but whatever.
d. Thing to Do - Blog.
2. I'm really into saying that I'm going on adventure. Everyone is apparently, but it's just about everything I do becomes some sort of epic adventure we must go on to help save the penguins or something. I don't know.
3. The reason I made this blog, well, reasons, is (one) because I really wanted a Vlog (Video Blog), but Madre (that's Spanish for Mother) willn't (is that a word?) allow it. (Two) I always make a journal about my summer and the events that go on, but last year's awesome one was ruined in a flood in the basement where it was... Sadness. So yeah, Vlogging will one day occur (hopefully). I'll beg. Maybe. I don't know.
4. Apparently I'm very indecisive.
5. It's 11:16 in the P.M.
6. Bleh.

What Time is It? Ice Cream Time!
6/26/2010
It's been about two hours since I last posted something and I just wanted to tell you that I had ice cream. It was one of those things that's really fattening and sugary, but you love to eat it no matter what's in it. It was a chocolate-covered strawberry sundae in a chocolate-dipped waffle bowl from Dairy Queen. It's so delicious, I could have exploded. Not really. That's not physically possible. Well, I guess it might be.
In other news, I have a new shopping goal. I don't like shopping really, but some things, I just think about getting. I want a black cape/cloak with a hood and pockets. I add these details because I need them to be there in order for me to buy it. If it's a cape, but it can't wrap around me in a Dracula-like fashion when needed, it's not right. No pockets, I'll cry. I need pockets in everything. I can't stand not having them. My hands live in pockets and so does my iPod. I require my iPod and hands at all times, so pockets are necessary!
Sorry if I sound kind of needy.

The Adventures of Captain Freak-Out, Basket Chick, and The Hatted Wonder
6/26/2010
Note: These events are true, though, to add suspense, heroic names and events have been added.
In this episode of The Adventures of Captain Freak-Out, Basket Chick, and The Hatted Wonder, the trio has ventured out into the vast land of The Pine Forest Block. They search the far corners and inner basketball courts for danger.
In the beginning, Basket Chick grabbes her basketball to shoot hoops of justice. She comes across the Grand-Pop, the bomber of elderly age. They shoot for hours and days, but really it was about twenty minutes.
After defeating the Grand-Pop, Basket Chick, Captain Freak-Out, and The Hatted Wonder, continue. The Hatted Wonder captures a few moments along the way, but missed one extravagant one. As Captain Freak-Out strayed out to the very edges of the sidewalk, a Weredog appears! As if to warn her team-mates, The Hatted Wonder calls out to Basket Chick to show her the golden pelt of danger. Captain Freak-Out, as she jams out to her iPod of Freedom, doesn't hear her. She spots the Weredog, and they expect the worse. Captain Freak-Out gasps and jumps up four-thousand feet in the air. When she returns, the Weredog has been called back to it's master, The Weredog Keeper. Captain Freak-Out wins again! Basket Chick and The Hatted Wonder laugh congratulatory giggles at the Captain.
After Captain Freak-Out freaked out, we continued on. Another Weredog and a Shrunken Lion of Doom appeared along the way, but no fights broke out. A few commoners sat at a destroyed, house-item-covered lot where the helpful people of the town helped by exchanging their old things for fresh slips of money. Signs around the town told the Trio what was going on though. "G-Sale", the signs stated. Aha, a Greatful Sale, the sale of destroyed objects to the public to once again become greatful of their gifts of money.
When the Trio returned to Home Base, The Hatted Wonder checked her Laptop of Distress for any signs of danger. Nothing appeared, so she blogged about the experience.
Unneccesary Credits:
The Hatted Wonder: Yours Truly, Wolf
Basket Chick: Mallory H. (Younger sister)
Captain Freak-Out: Madison H.
Grand-Pop: Curt A. (Grandfather)
Weredog 1: Someone's Dog the Happened to be Lurking About
Weredog 2: Another Dog with Cool Spots
Shrunken Lion: A Cat that I Named Geof and Actually Came into the Story Right After We Left the Court
The Keeper of Weredogs: Not Sure, but He was There!

Some Things are Coincidental
6/25/2010
This blog is being posted because of some random and coincidental things that have been occuring in my mind and daily life.
1. Beware of Loose Dog. There's a house not far from my grandparent's that has a sign in the front that states "Beware of Loose Dog". The other day, I noticed that and a cat sitting in the driveway of that house. Coincident.
2. Without Arms, There is No Music. I thought about something last night. If I were to lose an arm, or both of them, the main thing I'd be sad about losing is the ability to play music. Random.
3. Dream of Drugs. I had a dream about drugs two nights ago, and on the next day, there was a Dr. Oz episode about a woman addicted to sleep pills. Coincident.
4. Cat Sick, Not Home Sick. Two years ago, we put our tom cat, Shadow, to sleep. It happened when I wasn't home, I was here in Everett, so I didn't find out until I returned. Last year, I cried about missing Shadow, not home, after three weeks of being 1513 miles from home. Random.
5. Fifth. This is the last Coincident or Random post. Peace.

An Old Birthday and Facebook
6/24/2010
Today I embarked upon an adventure to a nursing home not far from my grandparent's house. There, I saw my great-aunt Mickey on her eighty-first birthday. She can't walk anymore and chooses not to talk. She had to move over to the nursing home because without someone to take care of her, she would probably just sit around and do nothing. She's been a bit on the sad side because she doesn't have her cat anymore, who was the one "person" who would be there with her the whole time. The cat's back at her old house being taken care of by Mickey's friend who lives behind her.
The party was pretty much all six nursing home people, the nurse, and most of Mickey's family like my other great-aunts and friends. We all sat around eating cake and ice-cream and Mickey got a few presents like blouses, socks, lotion, and soap. I can't say it was the most eventful thing to happen, but I was happy to be there with her. She's 81 now and that's quite an accomplishment.
In other news, Madison.
Madison, my older sister, has been begging and pleading my mother for a Facebook. "Why doesn't she just make one and hide it?" you might ask. The answer to that... when we come back! Just kidding. The answer to that is because she's trying to do the right thing. She, though unhappy with the results, never got one for months and months. Excuses like "My friends all have one", "It's the only way to take with some of my friends", and more didn't bring anything out from my mother other than "It's not very safe."
So now, after months of begs and pleads and "I'll be good"s, my mother has allowed Madison to have a Facebook. Hallelujah, right?

Reading the Hunger Games
2/23/2010
So yesterday I began reading the book The Hunger Games. I expected the good ratings from it from myself, but got more than what I expected. Just the beginning tells me it's an amazing book! I'm a fairly frequent reader and I've read many different types of books with different age groups, genres, and durations, but The Hunger Games is in a close second to the Harry Potter series.
The books I've read, including Harry Potter, Warriors, Twilight, Shiloh, and many more, are all fairly different books and in many different areas on my scale of critique. It may hit some people in the face, but Twilight wasn't a favorite of mine and, no, I haven't read the entire series. I've only read to New Moon. But anyway, books are a great source of entertainment and I think all of them had to have good reasons to be published, so I'm not against any other people's opinions on the books they like and dislike.
But anyway, The Hunting Games. It's a great book. I'm not finished yet, I'm only on page 211. If you haven't read it, it's about a girl named Katniss who lives with her little sister and mother in a poor district, District 12, in the former North America called Panem. The Hunger Games are a yearly event that requires every boy and girl of a district who are between the ages of twelve and eighteen to enter their name at least once into a drawing. The drawings choose one boy and girl from each of the twelve districts to fight to the death in a huge arena to give food and prizes to their district. It's all on T.V., too.
So Katniss enters her name multiple times for her family to recieve grain and oil. This multiplies her chances of getting chosen, though she has more names anyway from being fifteen (each age has a required amount of names entered). Her little sister is twelve and only enters once. A very slim chance out of thousands of names.
Anyway, the drawing comes and out of thousands of names, Primrose (Prim), Katniss's little sister, gets drawn and, terrified, Katniss volunteers for her. Now, Katniss has to play the games and, at the part that I'm at, she's in the games creating allies and plans on how to survive while she faces the Gamemakers' plans against the players to keep the show interesting.
In conclusion here, I'd definately reccomend this book to any readers looking for an adventuristic book with interesting characters and huge twists.

Madison's Birthday
6/22/2010
So today is Madison's birthday. Madison is my older sister by a year. She's now fourteen years old. Her birthday has been occuring while we've been in Washington for the past two years, and this is the third time. She's not always too happy about that, but we'll being celebrating it more when we go back home.
Her presents this year (so far) are a Pajama Gram that included pajamas, a "Do Not Enter" sign, and birthday forture cookies, and a fifty-dollar Visa Gift Card since she couldn't decide on what she wanted from our grandparents.
Cake. I love cake and who doesn't? This year, she recieved a vanilla cake with a little layer of icing inside. It was simply iced with white and "Happy Birthday Madison" was written on top in yellow.
So yeah, that's Madison's birthday for you.

On the Plane
Date of Post: 6/21/2010 (Actual Date of Event: 6/20/2010)
I would post this directly to the blog, but I'm currently ten thousand feet above the surface of the ocean. I'm on my iPod at the moment.
So my two sister and I have been planning this for a while and we always thought it would go normally: go through security, wait, get on the plane and sit together through the flight. Wrong. We all got split up on the plane for being the near last people boarded. I'm sitting in between an elderly couple.
...
We are now above St. Louis at 36,000 feet. It's been about half an hour and all I've done is listen to music and the awful jokes of the flight attendant.
...
I'm not sure where we are right now, but it's now 11:14 AM. It's 9 in Seattle and I bet my grandparents are already there... awaiting our arrival at 11:30.
It's a few seconds from the last entry. We're 3 and a half hours left to go and it's about to get a bit bumpy!
...
Airplane icecubes are the best!
...
It's 11:47 right now and not much has gone on. We've got about 3 hours or so left...
It's noon.
...
It's "noon thirty" and the flights almost done. We've got an hour and a half left. I have pretty much lost feeling in my legs by now. Luckily, it'll pay off when we reach Seattle (even if there's another hour by car to Everett).
...
We're right over South Dakota! We're above Mt. Rushmore and there's an awesome veiw of a storm cloud off to the right. It's pretty awesome up here.
So Mr. Oldmen finally got up to use the "sail du bain" and I get my window!
...
It's 10:40 AM (In Washington) meaning there's only an hour of flight left and then I'll be back on land! (Or at least until we visit Puget Sound.)
The Oldmen couple argue about crossword puzzles at 10:48.
...
It's officially 1:00 PM and that means it's 11:00 AM in Washington and THAT means that there's only a half-hour left aboard this seemingly slow bus in the sky.
I've really got to use the bathroom at 1:02, but I refuse to use the airplane bathrooms!
...
It's 1:28 and we're super close. They're taking up the last of the trash, which indicates our soon decent to SeaTac Airport. (And just for all the people reading this who don't know the geography of Washington's cities, SeaTac is between Seattle and Tacoma, hence SeaTac.)
Passing a few mountain tops at 1:32 Central Time.
...
So it's obviously taking a bit longer than I thought, but not by much. We're seeing lots of clouds and lots of mountaintops and towns, clearly indicating the lovely little place called Seattle.
I've decided to name the Oldmens "Sheryll" and "Coldsburg" Oldmen. (Where Coldsburg came from, I'm not sure.)
...
We'll be on the ground in half an hour! It's gonna be cold: 62 degrees.
...
At this point I had to turn off my iPod, so here's thelast bit of my travels:
We landed smoothly in SeaTac and had to wait about seven minutes while we waited for the other plane in our gate to leave, since we were early. My grandparents had actually only gotten there an hour early, which is record slow for them. They got to the gate at the same time as us. We said our "hello"s and scurried off the the baggage claim. After that, we hopped in the car and drove through Seattle traffic until we reached clearer roads to home. We'll be staying here for three weeks and seeing a lot of relatives, places, and even animals.
Super Excited,
Wolf

It's 1:28 and we're super close. They're taking up the last of the trash, which indicates our soon decent to SeaTac Airport. (And just for all the people reading this who don't know the geography of Washington's cities, SeaTac is between Seattle and Tacoma, hence SeaTac.)
Passing a few mountain tops at 1:32 Central Time.
...
So it's obviously taking a bit longer than I thought, but not by much. We're seeing lots of clouds and lots of mountaintops and towns, clearly indicating the lovely little place called Seattle.
I've decided to name the Oldmens "Sheryll" and "Coldsburg" Oldmen. (Where Coldsburg came from, I'm not sure.)
...
We'll be on the ground in half an hour! It's gonna be cold: 62 degrees.
...
At this point I had to turn off my iPod, so here's thelast bit of my travels:
We landed smoothly in SeaTac and had to wait about seven minutes while we waited for the other plane in our gate to leave, since we were early. My grandparents had actually only gotten there an hour early, which is record slow for them. They got to the gate at the same time as us. We said our "hello"s and scurried off the the baggage claim. After that, we hopped in the car and drove through Seattle traffic until we reached clearer roads to home. We'll be staying here for three weeks and seeing a lot of relatives, places, and even animals.
Super Excited,

Katie's Tragety
6/16/2010 (Actual Date of Event: 6/14/2010)
So my cat, Katie, is pretty old. I've had her since my little sister was one years old. Katie is about twelve years old right now, so you can tell she's elderly. She's always stayed energetic, though, and she's hardly graying. I know she'll have to go one day, but we thought it was sooner a few days ago.
Katie is usally bright-eyed and loving. While I visited my dad for the weekend, my sister recieved a call from my mother. She said she'd have to take Katie to the vet the next day because she felt warm, her eyes were foggy, and she didn't eat or meow. Drinking wasn't a problem though.
When I heard about this, I thought instantly of Shadow (A.K.A. Big Fat Tom Cat), a former cat of mine. He was a gray tabby with plenty of weight on him. He was the first pet I'd owned that had to be put to sleep. He had cytauxzoonosis (Sy-toe-zoo-no-sys); a rare tick-borne disease originated from mountain lions or bob cats. He had similar physical symptoms, but I knew they were different. Katie was drinking; Shadow didn't drink. Katie was still walking around, but, sadly for Shadow, cytauxzoonosis shuts his body down painfully so he wouldn't be able to move after it set in about a week after he recieved the infection.
Though I knew Katie didn't have the lethal disease her former "aquiantance" had, I couldn't help but cry. I couldn't help but think that the next day, when I would go to the vet with my mother and Katie, I'd have to put her down. Luckily for me, and Katie, it was nothing of the sort. I held Katie in my lap on the drive to the vet. Since we didn't have an actual appointment to see a vet, we waited in the lobby for about an hour until a space opened up. We entered the room.
The nurse came first. She did the usual: weight and temperature. Katie had a temperature slightly above normal and she was dehydrated. The vet comes and looks over her. Her lymph node on one side was enlarged and hard. They figured out it was an infection somewhere around her jaw that enflamed the node. They gave her an anti-biotic shot and a shot just for fluids. I was seriously relieved, but still worried.
So we left the vet with a live cat named Katie. We still have to go back in a week to get an additional anti-biotic shot, but other than that, it's all good!

First Post and Many to Come
6/16/2010
I'm not sure if anyone besides myself might read this, but I'm here to write out the summer. For the past two years, I've written my summer down. The eventful days are hard to remember years away, so I decided to write the journal of my summer starting in the year of 2008. My first journal was actually in a journal; one of those 80-paged, college ruled school journals. Red to be exact. My second was in a three-ring binder. Sadly, I lost my second year's work in the 1,000-year flood that hit Nashville. My home was right where it all happened, but, luckily, we lost only a few things in our flooded basement. My things were my binder and a single "Life is Good" shirt.
Anyway, I thought I'd catch you up with the events of this summer that will come up. First of all, I'm out of school and will be off to eighth grade next year. I'm excited to go, but first, I have my wonderful three-month summer vacation to lok forward to. It's about two weeks into the summer, but events have already taken place. On the first weekend, I went off to camp at Fall Creek Falls where, after a day's delay due to a flat tire and a slow packer (refered to as ME), I entered the Talent Show to play my clarinet to the theme song of... something. I also played piano to "What a Wonderful World". Before that, though, we went to the Falls themselves. After the flooding, there was plenty of water and it was beautiful.
But after the lovely weekend camping at my favorite family camp, I headed back home where some things are going on. I was, and still am, home. I'm getting ready to go to Everett, Washington, my grandparent's home town, and visit all of my mother's relatives. I'll see my Grandma, Grandpa, cousins, "God-Mother" (Not technically; we're not Catholic), and her two baby boys (who are ages 4 1/2 and 2). I'm always super excited to go there and I'm bursting with excitement right now. It's Wednesday (6:09 A.M. to be exact) and our flight is on Sunday. I'll be sure to post that up, but for now, I'll be signing off.
