I feel soooo bad....I haven't blog in awhile, since like October (about my life). So....I'm planning on just not talking about my life for the rest of November since November's almost over. Hopefully I can blog more in December. I can't believe it's almost December!!! Really!!! And I thought yesterday was June!!!

I'm going to post some videos now.... I haven't put YouTube videos on in quite some time...

Both of them are hysterical. :D:D
I've also been reeeally obsessed with this song Do You Remember by Jay Sean. I like it as much as Down!! (the other song by him) I'm listening to it right now!
Ummm...I need something to rant about...
Oh, I'll go make a picture that says Happy Thanksgiving right now then :D

Alright...I think that's enough...
Bye!
-JoAnn :)
Happy Thanksgiving!

Sorry I haven't been updating lately. I haven't made a lot of changes yet. When I get back, I'll post a lot of event-of-the-days and then .... start doing all the stuff I  mentioned on the homepage. Oh....I think you should see my YOUTUBE PROFILE cuz I spiffied it up a little while ago. I read a lot of books while I was gone....anyway, here are some images and I guess bye for now...

This is for yesterday. If you study the colors, you might know what I'm trying to say......

HaPpY SaTuRdAy!

I'm almost done with catching up with  my journaling...unless you think two weeks worth of stuff is a lot. Which it is, but I think if I don't have lots of homework, then I'll be able to finish which also means I'll be able to blog again!! (And change the colors of the homepage, which I think is a must. It's getting kinda old...) Well...happy November. I can't believe it!!! 11 months of 2009 - gone! Wow...

-JoAnn :)
I randomly felt like putting this picture.....

OK, I believe I said I'd only blog when I caught up with journaling. WELL....I haven't caught up with journaling quite yet. JK, I'm actually like dooper behind!! The last day I wrote about in my journal was October 12th!! So I really hope I can catch up soon so that I can blog more. Anyways, I kinda want more posts for October...

Explanation: I've been reading quite a lot lately. Books are really hooking me in these days. I think I got more homework this week too. Not like it's hard, it just kinda takes some time. I've also been exploring my iPod. It's very fun. I've listened to the same song like 3 nights in a row.... Also. I've been on the computer. I chat with some friends! That takes time too! (Like everything else.) Anyway, I just spent like 30 minutes typing up a piece of writing - get this - it wasn't for school either. That's why, one of my joke-half-truth wishes are that I need some time-out to just zone out. Or journal. Know what I mean? :P

Well, I'm hoping to catch up with my journaling and be able to blog sooner or later. Byesies for now!

OK, none of my plans got done today...but in turn, I got to talk with a bunch of friends from my old school! Hehe, I'm happy I did...
OK anyway... I'm really sad I haven't journaled in like 2 weeks. It's not like I haven't written in my journal, though, because trust me, I have! It's just I haven't been able to catch up with my life in my journal yet. Which is maybe way I haven't blogged much about my life lately. Oh yeah, so the only thing I've been putting in my journal is quotes. I think the biggest change to me this year (I'm kinda exaggerating :D) is how I just started collecting loads and loads of quotes.
Quotes are awesome. They can push you on, they can make you laugh, they can cheer someone up.
Anyway...today, I'm going to put a bunch of links to songs that I added to my favorites today/stuff that's just plain cool. So they're probably music or videos. Depends.
Oh, and just one more thing before I start: I'm reading Among the Enemy right now..I finished Among the Barons and I can't find book 5 (Among the Brave) so I just decided to skip ahead. Time for the links!!

Let's See How Far We've Come<<music + cool video!!
Already Gone (Kelly Clarkson) <<music purposes..I haven't even watched the video, I've only been listening to it!
Wait for You (Elliott Yamin) <<I like the song. I just remembered it suddenly today.
Shout It (Mitchel Musso) <<I love the song, the chorus especially!!
Comatose (Skillet) <<My favorite saying is best for last- so this is definitely the best (as of now) for me! I love the beginning (sounds like really high strings)! Also, I looked up comatose (^^') and it means the feeling of being in a coma..makes sense, doesn't it?

OK, one day, I will do event of the day's. I will do it when I catch up with my journaling. So it's decided then...

Later! -JoAnn :)

Hehe. I don't exactly feel like writing much today, so I'm going to act as if I never even missed a day. Or to be more direct, I'm not writing about what happened lately besides about the books!

I finished The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins!! It was very very exciting- I love the book. (finished on Thursday.)
Then I started Among the Impostors (by Margaret Peterson Haddix) and
that was short, exciting, and easy. It was finished by Friday afternoon.
And on Friday night, I started The Diamond of Darkhold. Unlike the second book, it got interesting after like 3 chapters. So I finished it by Saturday morning!
And...I started a few books, but they were by Gary Paulsen and he doesn't suck me into the book like other authors, so I just quit reading his books. And today I got to go to the library so I got Among the Betrayed and I'm practically almost finished with it so I'm going to move on to Among the Barons when I finish, which is also something I checked out.

I'm done. I guess I'll still post a random image then...
The image does not not not belong to me!!!!! I just posted it onto my photobucket to make life easier.

I don't have much time today, so I'll be doing event of the days again!! Whoopdeedoo...

10/12 Monday Definitely the big race (and last race) I had!! Brr...it was cold. But I was soooo excited. Like, I was bouncing while waiting for the gun to go off. I was so happy. It was a great way to end the season. :) Another event that I wanna put is my trip to the library. I couldn't find any of the books I wanted, so I got The Diamond of Darkhold, 4th book of Ember series. Plus I got Among the Impostors, the sequel to Among the Hidden, something I read last year as a class novel. I'm still reading The Hunger Games though. It's really exciting, but I don't have much energy to read it lately. Hehe.

10/13 Tuesday Woohoo! Another cross country event. It was the last practice. :(:( I'm so sad! But anyway, we ran to UDF (it was such a breeze o.o) and got ice cream. I got a yummy vanilla malt. Yumyumyum. I gave cards to both my coaches too. I hope they liked em.

10/14 Today See life is all boring now without cross country. -_- I guess the only thing that really deserves to be event of the day is that in orchestra we finally, actually went through an entire piece without stopping!! It was fun. I love that song....

One link today. It's a song that I am evidently obsessed with, since I've listened to it about 10 times now. I don't think most of you will like it, but I'll post the link anyway. I just really like something about it, but I don't know what. Clickish to listen to ... One Time by Justin Bieber. :)

Oh yeah, a few updates today. I just neatened up some pages and next time I'm on I'll start cleaning up any huge mistakes on the blog page.
Finding a picture to sign with now....

Not much happened today, so that's why you might be seeing random images. So today I just went to church, Chinese market, practiced piano, and got on the comp. Not much else. My mom's cooking dinner right now, so I could go off any minute. Hmm... I have a big race tomorrow! My coach even said it's going to snow. Why??? :( It's even on our hardest course...kinda. Just planning to wear long sleeves then.

Oh, I was going to talk about two more things. First one: plans for the site! I'm going to (hopefully) think of some new weekly topics for a bunch of weeks I need to. Oh yeah, considering how cold it was today (like 30 degrees!!!), I'm thinking of a winter/Thanksgiving-ish layout for the homepage soon. Who knows, but I think it's fine the way it is right now.
Second thing- I finished The Bar Code Tattoo yesterday. IT'S SO EXCITING!!! I love the book. I finished it in like 2 hours. I'm reading The Hunger Games now. Oh yeah, tomorrow, I'm going to check out The Prophet of Yonwood (prequel to City of Ember) in turn of The People of Sparks tomorrow. I can't wait to read it. :)

Well that's all I can think of for now. So I'm going to find an image to sign with now. Oh yeah, I don't know how I'll survive without cross country!!!!! It ends on Tuesday (the 13th). Someone said on the last practice we're running to UDF to get ice cream. Coolio... Well yeah, now I'm finding the image to sign with.....

Hey everybody! Since I missed sooo many days and I really don't want to write about every single thing, I will do a thing that I randomly made up called 'event of the day.' You see, everyday, there are so many events. (Right?) So, I like to choose one (if there are personal things there will be more) event and make it event of the day. And I think you know what I'll be doing now- writing the events of the days for all the days I missed!! I hope you enjoy em!

Event of the Day

9/28 Monday Okay, I can't decide between these 2 choices: in science we watched a Bill Nye (the science guy) video or in LA we had a paper ball 'fight' discussion. Oh well, I guess they tie for the event of the day!

9/29 TuesdayIt's a tie again!! Either in gym we started volleyball and I was actually kinda good, or for cross country we did hills!!! I think hills won over gym. HILLS ARE SO FUN. :D

9/30 Wed. No doubt would I choose my cross country race to be event of the day. NO DOUBT!! But if I didn't have a race, I'd choose that in SS we saw a powerpoint on China. Anyway, about the race! The course was so easy. Like, too easy, almost. :D I got in 83rd place!!!! (I finally got in something under 100th place xD) And guess what else, my time was 17:43!!!!! whoo!!!! (That's a two-mile time. xP)

10/1 Thursday This probably sounds pathetic, but I think this day being the first day of October deserves to be event of the day!! Hmm...I'm going to find something else now... Oh, I forgot my lunch money, so my friend bought lunch for me and she kept saying 'I feel fat.' xD Oh and three more events I can't decide for which should be #1: there was a cyber safety assembly (awkward), in SS we saw a video on Egypt, and in piano class I did this really pretty duet with my piano teacher!! See, I can't decide..

10/2 Friday I can't decide between the time I went to the library (XD) or the phone call I had with my grandpa. So I guess I'll talk about both. For the library, I returned one of my books (Tears of a Tiger which is very frightening but good) and got two new books: The People of Sparks, sequel to City of Ember. I actually just finished this yesterday- it was really cool at the end. And the other book I got was Forged by Fire. Also frightening, but very very good. Loved the book. (Oh yeah I finished it on Sunday in one day- see, it is good!!) :) Oh, and the phone call with my grandpa!! I just sang happy birthday and chit-chatted with him. :D

10/3 SaturdayFew events tie for this day too. 1) There was a kitty at the nursing home I was playing piano- it was so cute. ^-^ 2) Dentist appointment- I realized I lost all my baby teeth! Wow. Never knew that. 3) I ate chicken pot pie for dinner. :D Yummy!!

10/4 Sunday Hmm...just some small things. Like my church friends were going all crazy about this guy that looks like me. :/ Or I ate a lotta ice cream. :D I finished all my computer homework. (It took up so much time! -_-) I got to chat with my old school friends (^-^), updated my FuN of Life site, and updated my goodreads account. This was the Sunday I finished Forged by Fire. :D

10/5 Monday Too many events that are too good. So I'll list em all. There was a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch!!!! yumyumyum. I finished my science project and that's when I found out how cool colored printers are.... I HAD A CROSS COUNTRY RACE!!!!! woot!! The course seemed kinda hard when we walked it, but when we ran it, it actually wasn't that bad. I got in 70th place- but there were 92 girls. Heheh. My time was 18:01- which I guess..is okay. Who knows, but I had fun. :)

10/6 Tuesday There's nothing interesting!! The only really interesting thing is I had pizza for lunch/ we played bingo in LA. Wow, boring day, I suppose...

10/7 Wed.FIRE DRILL! We were in art class, and we were doing paper mache stuff, so we had glue on our hands, and then whadya know- the fire drill thingy goes off. Brr....it was so cold! And my stupid sweater (xD JK) was tied around me, but I couldn't take it off cuz my hands were all sticky. So basically, my sweater was torturing me. :D

10/8 Thursday Nothing interesting!! Fail!! Even cross country was boring!! Wow.

10/9 Friday WOOHOO! Okay, so in LA, this boy stood behind my friend and kept poking her/annoying her, so after like 2 minutes she shoved her chair back and was like 'Oh, oops, I didn't know you were there!' (sarcasm!! xD) It was hilarious. That's why it's event of the day. :D

10/10 Today Hmm..not much. I think it's just cool that today is double ten day. :D I just made that up!
Hmm...oh, I gotta catch up with weekly topic. I think I'll be adding some rose pictures... Oh, here's a few quotes:

I always find it more difficult to say the things I mean than the things I don't. -W. Somerset Maugham

True love never dies. It only gets stronger with time. -google search

Best friends are the siblings God forgot to give us. -a photobucket image

Enjoy your day!

5 minutes people!! 5 minutes!!!
I'm just going to say a bunch of stuff I'll do the next time I'm on the computer and some stuff I did on the site.

What I'll Be Doing:
-Catching up with weekly topic (why does it seem like I'm always doing this?).
-Blabbering about all the days I didn't get to write.
-Um...typing a language arts piece, researching social studies stuff, and doing a science project. xD

What I Did Today:
Today the homepage came back!! In case you didn't see the construction sign, here it is. The credits part and support part disappeared. Thankfully everything's back now. It took lots of effort. -_-
Spiffied up my photobucket albums!! I made a private album too, in case my brother sneaks up on me again.

I pretty much have to go now. Hopefully I can get to all my plans tomorrow. Have a good day!

-JoAnn :)

PS. Happy mid-autumn-festival-thingy day today!!!!!
