Who's your American Idol?

Mama has just informed me that I should write in my blog (which, sorry, I haven't done - mainly to lack of time) in a while..

So.. who's your American Idol?

Mine is David Archuleta and he should also be to anyone who has ears and can listen to music. He's an AMAZING singer, he's HOT, and he's MORMON! Life couldn't get any better than that! And I can give you many more reasons why he should win..

but that would be a very, very long list in my opinion..

And I'm not one of those crazed fans who would google them and track them down. Also, I think it's kinda dumb to comment on the videos. Well, it's more that I think it's kinda dumb what some people will write. Seriously, though, they'll write things like "Are you single?" or "Please tell me where you live!" (both of which I have actually seen on the comment listy thing.)

Sometimes it is fun to read some of the comments, though. Like when someone writes something you don't like, you just have to tell them they're dumb idiots (is there a smart idiot?) who have no taste in music and "if you don't like them so much why are you listening to the video?"

Some people get really mad or sad when their favorite gets voted off (let's face it, who wants to see their fav go home?) but there is a limit to crazy and, let me tell you, some people have crossed that invisible (I feel the need to say "invisible" because, you never know, you could be sitting/standing next to someone reading this and they're looking around for a line drawn on the ground saying, "Oh, no! What if the line is right in front of the fridge and i'm starving!?") where was I? Oh, yea.. invisible line a little too much..

So, whether your Idol is David A. (woot, woot!) or some other contestant, just listen to their music, no idolizing! (you can laugh now cuz, you know, "idolizing" and the name of the show is "American IDOL!" ha, ha... that was really dumb, sorry you had to read that..)

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

So I realized that last time I wrote I didn't finish my thought. (Which surprisingly happens a lot to me.. OK, even I had to laugh at that one. It really happens to me a lot though...) Yea, I never explained how I was on my death bed. I'm really sorry if you started freaking out cuz you thought I was dying or something.

But anyway, the real reason I was on my death bed (that is so fun to say! That sounds weird, but still it is a funny word or group of words, death bed!) was because I was sick all week and I wasn't in school for that week. No, that's a lie. I went home early on Monday.

So you can relax now.. sort of.

I thought I was all better. But I stayed/am home yesterday/today. It really sucks! I'm tired of being sick. And I'm tired of being home. And I'm tired of all the make-up work. And I'm tired of being tired! Being sick is pretty much my life right now.

This is a craptastic winter! You know that rain song, "Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day." The one Dora sang to the rain cloud yesterday - that's what happens when you get sick, you learn things..

Anyway, I wish the song would go like, "Snow, snow, go away. Don't come again another day." because I am really learning to hate snow.

So that was basically it. I don't have any smarty facts for you today.. I can't think straight, I'm too sick!

She lives!!

So guess what?!? I'm not dead!! So you can throw your parties celebrating my return. (Sorry about all that party stuff almost going to waste.) And to those of you who were prepared to send out a search party looking for me or were ready to have my funeral (I don't like you for not having enough faith in me, by the way! I can finally say "Oh ye of little faith" *he, he*)

What was my point??

Oh, yea, I was making it up as I go..

So.. start calling around telling them that it's all canceled.

Seriously, though, the reason I was absent for such a long time is that I was sick on and off like crazy! And then last week I was literally on my death bed. (If I accidentally left you out of my will, remember: I'm just a kid! Then again, for a couple of people - not mentioning any names *cough, Papa, cough* - I might have done that on purpose! But to tell you the truth, I don't see why it would matter if it was deliberate or not. I'D BE DEAD!! And so there's not much you could do to get your revenge..)

What was I saying?? I can't remember (or maybe I can't think of anything else to write!?!) Either way, I'm getting off. (ttyl - unless I don't talk to you later...)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!! Well, actually it's a little late for that, but technically it's still the new year, so Happy New Year!

So that was basically it. That's the only holiday that's past so far in 2008, right?

That's weird, saying it's 2008, because it is.

Anyway, I'm done for now.

Nothin but coal..

You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why...

Santa Clause is coming to town!!!

He's making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty or nice...

Santa Clause is coming to town!!!

He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake...

OOOOhhhhhhh, you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why...

Santa Clause is coming to town... unless you live in a big city and not a town.. it would be "Santa clause is coming to the city.." But that doesn't sound right..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everybody knows this song.. unless you're demented or younger than 1... but basically everyone knows it.

If you're sane, you'll listen to the song and you'll watch out, and not cry, and not pout and you'll end up getting pretty much everything on your list...

And if you're not sane, you'll get nothing but coal (check out the name of the post, pretty smart, right?)

So, I suppose my warning (?) to you would be "be sane.."

I feel like braggin...

In school we have a "top 10" in every academic class. I don't mean to brag (?) but I've been in every list (maybe minus one time on each) except math.. which I've never been on.. but it's o.k. because nobody in pre-algebra (which includes me!) really gets in it because pre-al is harder than the normal math.. besides Julie Donna who always gets in the top 10 because she is freaking amazing in.. every subject known to man.. and a few not.. she's almost like a mini version of papa..
she's that good.. Oh, wait I'm braggin about me...

So, yesterday in Language Arts (I prefer to use the term, "english") I found out that I was number 1!!! Not that I'm surprised.. I'm really smart...

Anyway, I'm excited and I just thought you'd like to be excited with me.. and I wanted to brag!!

Plus, I have all A's...
