Two Amazing Years

This one you can actually see the other half of the pictures... Well, My friends and I have had an amazing first two years of middle school. Too bad, the first pic is the only one of me with my braces off.

FFA state convention, standardized tests, and NO MORE BRACES!

Get ready to rumble! FFA state convention is coming to you live April 23-24 in Macon, Georgia! Next weekend I will be with some of my best friends in the entire world at STATE CONVENTION! And guess what, just got my schnazzy new FFA jacket and my braces came off 'dis morning! 


Unfortunately, standardized tests come before state convention:( Yes, indeed, CRCT starts on Monday. And, I wish I was in kindergarten right now because, well, naps, and because next year 1st and 2nd graders will not be taking CRCT due to budget cuts in Georgia!


And, well, since I got my braces off, I got to choose the design for my retainer today! Right now I have those clear retainers that are kinda like invisalign(c) but they're just temporarily there. My real retainer (that goes an the roof of my mouth and underneath my tongue) will be hot pink with lime green polka-dots, all being covered in glitter (concealed by a layer of plastic, of course!). 


And well, I didn't turn in my science homework from last night, so my grade plummeted. And I should be finishing a project right now, yet I'm posting on my blog...


Life sucks.


Burritos are good. 


Hope your life is better, mine will be next weekend, though!


Signed,
    Laura!

I thought it was called spring BREAK for a reason...

Well, this past week has been spring break. But, it wasn't really a break due to the 4 projects, 1 essay, and bookwork I had to do. And, right now, I should be doing research on some dead guy who wrote poetry, but I don't want to. So, I should get back to work...Just wanted to keep you posted!


Love, 
    The Shakespeare hating LAURA!

And how did yours break again? And some really unrelated thoughts...

Hmmm, what can I say about today? Well, both of my first cousins came over today and about 30 minutes ago, they pushed my laptop off of our game chair and onto my brother's phone. So, apparently John (My brother, if you didn't know that already!) now has no social life. So, you can't text on flip phones? And, did Facebook shut down? And what happened to calling people? I can hear him now, "But it says the phone only cost $20!" Oh, child, 'tis only at the end of your 2 year contract. Under these circumstances, they jack the price up to $200. Did you know that dogs have cleaner tongues than people? You also need to read the truth about forever by Sarah Dessen and Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks by Lauren Myracle. YAY! Unrelated thoughts for the day...




Love,
Sincerely,
See Ya Cool Cat!
[Insert kinda cool closing here]

WHILS (Woolly-Hooves Invincible Llama Sim)

Last year I heard my best friends Lena and Ashlie were talking about this thing called Woolly Hooves. So, I asked them, "What the heck is 'Woolly-Hooves'?" And they responded with a 15 minute explanation of how you go to this website and create an invincible llama. Trying to be supportive of an apparently regular activity, I asked if I could join in. So then Lena takes my hand and writes the URL for Woolly-Hooves on my palm (If you were wondering, the URL is: http://woolly-hooves.com). After getting home from school and completing my homework, I got on my dinosaur of a computer (Which is now thankfully at the dump now!), and got on WHILS. After spending 2 hours defeating Menacing Prancing Broccoli and Pink-Fanged Platypuses, lets just say, I am still on a quest to finish the 157 levels of Woolly-Hooves. I highly suggest that you go and make your dream llama today. So, now this opens up the realm of other on-and-offline games I play. Well, if you login to Club Penguin, you can still see me playing as a tour guide, secret agent, and proud owner of two puffles. And, if my Webkinz account hadn't just expired, I would still be on there, too. And you can see that on my computer, The Idiot Test, Virtual Jello, and Drum Kit are favorited (I'll post links to the virtual jello and drum kit down there v). Offline, I also have a Nintendo DS, Gameboy Advance, and an Xbox. Of course, digital junk is not my life. I play softball, volleyball, and basketball, I swim and dance, and of course, there is golfing and my social life. Yeah, I never told people I did half of these things because well, I'm not exactly the best player. Don't get me wrong, I love these sports and I'm pretty good, but someone is always going to be better, or at least until I get a sports scholarship to UGA they will be. Well, yeah, this started out with llamas, but now, you know a lot more about me.


-Laura: Llamas, Webkinz, and Club Penguin will always dominate.

Do you have to call them pet peeves?

You know what I hate? When people have to tell who their inside joke is with. You know, "Hahaha! so funny! elephants! lol, its an insider with me, Suzy, and Katie!" I mean, its bad enough to say, "Its our inside joke!" But when you point out the people who aren't in on it, it just gets 14 times worse. Yeah, I'm in on a ton of inside jokes myself, what with church, school, 4-H, and FFA. And sure, I mention one once in a while. But, when I do mention it, I just let people who don't know about it be oblivious to it and think I'm just being random again. So next time you type, think about other people and how they feel being on the other side of that joke.

World Domination

So, apparently, my life's mission is to conquer to world. At least, according to those random quizzes online it is. And really, if God wanted me to conquer the world, He would have given me a game plan already. I mean, really, aren't you supposed to find out if you have a destiny to fulfill before 11? That's what happened to Harry Potter right? He got a mission at 11 and completed it before 18. Or, is Voldemort coming back after 19 years? Has Jo Rowling lied to us? Well, maybe in a later post... What was I saying? Oh, right. But, you know, God hasn't given me a mission yet. Or has he? Surely I would know, right? Well, before I take over the world, I'll tell you, killing innocent mortals with 'Avada Kedavra' isn't part of the plan.


Until when,
Laura: contemplating life, one post at a time.
