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.
"*Yawn*"

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.

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.
