Today's Topic: Converse

Converse, the shoe that has been around and popular since forever. (actually 1917...) Anyway, I own 3 pairs of converse. My purple ones, (my first pair, I'm wearing them right now) my gray ones, (my second pair) and my chocolate ones. (They went to Maine, Boston, NYC, and France) Anyway, at some point in our lives, we have all wanted or owned converse, because lets face it, they are just the best ever!

Todays Topic: August 27 2010

Today was an example of perfect weather. It was sunny, with only a few clouds. It was warm, but not hot, you know, that fall/summer feeling, but more summer then winter. I was sitting under a tree in the front yard with my camera and Sydney, and my dad came out with an ice cream cone. It was so good, especially because of that weather. Thanks dad! Today was Friday, which leaves only the weekend between me and the first day of 8th grade, the last year of my middle school life...! So exciting, yet I wont be able to sleep in! (dont comment dad!!!!) Hopefully we can have some more perfect ice cream eating, picture taking, hammock laying days like these. This is also the day mommy comes home. <3

Today's Topic: water ice

Yesterday at 7:05, I went with my dad to a Phillies vs. Nationals game in Philadelphia. It was prettyy awesome. We were in section 116, row 23, I was seat 12, and dad was seat 11. We didnt catch any balls, but there were two that landed not far from our section. Anyway, I got to see HALLADAY number 34 pitch, which was reallyy cool. Now your wondering, what does this have to do with water ice? Well, we bought water ice there. They give you an exorbitant amount of water ice, its in a huge cup then they but a scoop on top. Being me, I knew I wouldn't be able to eat the whole thing, and it would eventually melt and get me all sticky. Well, dad started taking huge bites of mine, and complained of brain freeze. I told him he was a wimp, and I took a huge bite. I felt fine. But sure enough, about 10 seconds later, it felt like the front of my head was freezing, and it got worse and worse, and then it kinda burned, and went away. I shrugged, after my eyes stopped watering, and took another bite. We stayed to watch the whole baseball game, and I got to see the Phillies win, live, for the first, and hopefully not the last, time.

Today's Topic: _________

This blog might be about the things that I like, but today, lets just hear about the things that you like. Start listing them, folks!

Today's Topic: Cameras

Cameras are so cool. They are small, (most of them) and you can bring them just about anywhere. Actually, you can bring them anywhere. They have cameras that can go underwater, there are cameras that can take pictures in space. There are even those cameras that we fly around sports stadiums and snap photos. Pictures help you remember things that you have done, or to help tell someone a story. They are in the newspapers, they are in books, they are online, they are EVERYWHERE. Anywho, cameras are pretty awesome because you can do so many neat things with them. You can change the color of your pictures, you can make the images blurry or super fine. You can take close up pictures and capture every detail, you you could take a picture of a huge far away mountain range. No matter what, they are prettyyy cool.

Today's Topic: itouch

Why have I decided to blog about an itouch you ask? Why is this post lacking correct punctuation? Well first off the itouch is pretty awesome and second is because I am blogging o my dads itouch. Prettyy cool i know. But i don't have one of my own...I guess I shouldn't complain I could have gotten one but decided i wanted an iPod nano. Look at me! I am typing so fast ts amazing! These things are coooool. Except they give you the weirdest words as you type And sometimes get them wrong but oh well it's still awesome. By the way if this thing didn't add in any of he puncuation and stuff then it wouldn't be in this post to much of a hassle to add...oh well. Still five stars from me.

Today's Topic: Remote Controls

The remote isn't necessarily important in life, I mean, we can live without it, people have lived without it, but it is helpful. What if you were home alone, sick, and you were watching TV on the couch, and you wanted to change the channel? You would have to get up and change it...and you really wouldn't feel good. I'm not sick, but I enjoy sitting on the couch, and not having to change the channel by walking up to the TV.

Today's Topic: Kayaks

Kayaks offer hours and hours of fun, especially when they are tipped over. Or when you don't use paddles. Or when you keep tipping it over. Anyway, kayaks, or should I say kayak, is very enjoyable, especially when four people are on it but the suggested (maximum) capacity is two.

Why I don't like....

Rubber bands on braces.

No, its not the thing that keeps the braces on your teeth, its a rubber brand strapped one of your top teeth, and one of your bottom, on both sides of your mouth. What does it fix? Still trying to wrap my head around that one. Anyway, yesterday I was gifted with the high grace of earning these rubber bands. Kinda like, "Thanks for coming to this orthodontist for FIVE (yes five) years, you have stepped up from silver, to gold status! Congratulations, here is your prize!" Are these prizes returnable? Id like a refund.

Today's Topic: Soap

Just imagine, a world without soap. Really, all that we would see would just be dsfusakdjfeif. Anyway, soap is quite useful, and BONUS it comes in cool shapes and sizes and smells!!

Today's Topic: chairs

Pretty self explanatory, if we didn't have chairs, we would be sitting on the ground, or on cushions. I dunno if cushions count as chairs, but for the sake of this blog entry lets just say that they do. Chairs are a wonderful invention, because without them, we would not be able to reach tables, or we would have to just stand, or they would all have to be close to the ground. Tables close to the ground are not a good idea for two reasons. 1.) Someone could run/trip over it 2.) Easily accessible by bugs and animals. Not fun. So really, if we didn't have chairs, it would be like taking plants out of the food chain, everything would just die, or in furniture case, become totally impractical and useless.

Today's Topic: flip flops

I've gotten lazy, that week off broke my blogging pattern! Anyway, today I am happy that I have flip flops, which I believe on a hot day are better then shoes (sorry converse), and much better then sandals, but I don't own any of those, just sneakers/converse, and flip flops. Life is sweet. :) Anyway, today, at exactly 2:21 p.m. it is 92.8 F and humid, so flip flops really really help, because heat goes out through your feet and your head, so that's why people wear boots and a hat in the winter, and flip flops/no shoes in the summer.

Today's Topic: Sunglasses

Yep, lately I have been discovering that sunglasses are actually helpful. Did you know that they actually help your eyes?! I am very thankful I have them, especially when I am sitting on a boat directly in front of the sun. Face it, it can happen. It will happen, and it probably already has happened to you, in one way or another. Eerie, I know. Anyway, before you go out in the sun today with your sunglasses...what would you be doing right now if you didn't have them? Would you still be going out? Would you still have an enjoyable time without them? Would you be able to see right now?

Today's Topic: Maximum Ride

I have a reading problem. There, dad, I admitted it. Ha. Not like you think though, I can read great, but just a little too great, whatever that means. People always encourage you to read, and that all I'm doing!! Literally, ALL I'm doing. Let's just say I read a lot, but that's an understatement. Especially with the past series of books I have been reading, a series called Maximum Ride. It's about these kids that were raised in a lab, and they are 98% human and 2% avian. (That means they have bird wings on their backs, and they can fly, and they are constantly mutating-not in a bad way- and developing new skills.) I won't give away too much, but these books are reallyyyy good. I just finished Fang, which is the 6th book, and since I'm me, I had to find out when the next book will be released, and sure enough, it is called Angel, and will come out February 2011. A looong wait for me, but I have many more books to catch up on until then.

Why I don't like...

Being sick on VACATION.

I mean really, people? Why do I have to get sick on vacation? I had a 100+ fever, and my usual is...98.6 I think. Anyway, I woke up yesterday morning freezing and I had a huge headache, and sure enough, five minutes later, I was declared sick. This was then the start of the bestest car ride ever!! Not. I pretty much tried to sleep, and when I wasn't sleeping, I was shivering/getting overheated, or trying to read or some other time consuming activity which never worked because I had automatic built in sick sick + car sick = 8-/ But now I feel better, though not 100%...maybe 95.3%?

Today's Topic: Goggles

Why are goggles important to me, do you ask? Well, when you are swimming in a pond, and you are as blind as a bat with your eyes open or closed under the water, you really think goggles are awesome. Though simple, they are very helpful...because some of the most simple things in life are quite important. The only thing that I don't like about goggles is that they do not float, which I have figured out-the hard way.

Today's Topic: The Farm

I know, I know, such a shocker, I haven't posted every day, I broke the cycle. 8-O Anyway, today is dedicated to "The Farm" which is where I go every year to have a reunion with my cousins, always so much fun. This year, we celebrated the 81st reunion. Best place ever. Those of you who haven't ever been to Maine, you haven't ever lived. Get there. Now. :)
