Tumblr...?!

Yes, i made a tumblr recently. I haven't really been posting here lately, but I'll probably be posting pretty regularly on my tumblr.

English assignment :) the first fun one we've had

A cool breeze blows the flyaway hairs back from my face, its soothing touch invigorating and energizing me. The touch of the wind’s fingers is as soft as a butterfly’s kiss. I close my eyes and inhale the mid-autumn air, just starting to turn cold, and the aroma of pine leaves and musky forest fill my nose. I can taste the sharp air in my mouth, clean and clear. It is mid-afternoon, and ten feet above my head, the leaves, which have already began to change colors, are bathed in warm rays of sunlight. A bright blue cloudless sky peeps through the canopy of leaves. A kaleidoscope of colors, green and blue and orange and red and yellow, spins above me. I smile at the pattern on the mossy ground formed by the dappled sunlight. It looks magical, like the gossamer wings of a faery. Softly floating down to earth like falling stars, the leaves blown off the trees catch the sunlight and shine a bright gold. Some are caught by the sparse bushes lining the path in the middle of their flight, and lie there, trapped, contrasting with the green foliage and trembling every now and then with the passing wind. The drifting leaves that manage to reach their destination form a fiery velvet carpet, soft and plush under the soles of my feet. A creek burbles by, winding through trees and bushes, the sound like laughter to my ears. Various birds chirp incessantly, forming a sweet, intricate melody that rings through the woods, as if the trees themselves were reverberating with sound. I reach the big maple tree in the clearing and look up. A supple and worn-out rope ladder leads to the tree house propped among the branches of the maple. Simple and understated, the tree house features a small stained glass window on the side and a carved wooden door for the entrance. The vibrant crimson leaves framing the house complement the window, which depicts pink and red roses in shards of colored glass. Contrasting sharply with the brown doorway, the red hues in the mahogany wood are highlighted by the maple leaves. Strands of fairy lights are draped over the branches and along some of the trees lining the clearing. At night, the clearing lights up, a place of mystery and enchantment.  The trees surrounding the clearing give a comforting effect, as if the tree house is hidden, nested, amongst the other trees. Rough and worn from years of experience, the bark of the tree is uneven under my fingertips. I grasp the supple rope ladder, which is cool to the touch, and make my way to the top of the tree. Before entering the tree house, I stop and look around. A maple leaf tie-dyed with red and orange spirals down from above like a fluttering paper bird, and I catch it before it can reach the ground. The sun has begun the path down from its peak, and stripes of soft pink and purple already begin to streak the sky. Around me, leaves rain to the ground like tears of fire.

My Life as a Sophomore.

I procrastinate my way through the afternoon. I stay up past 12 every night trying to finish my English homework then missing my bus the next morning after falling asleep again after turning off the alarm clock. I get really sleepy during class and sometimes fall asleep. Then I come home and procrastinate.

One of my BIGGEST pet peeves EVER

I hate it SO much when people leave the room and don't close the door.
I mean honestly?! It's just plain rude.

10 Ways to Annoy People While Playing Ping-Pong

1. Make irritating noises every time your paddle makes contact with the ball.
2. Hit the ball as far as you can, missing the table, at every given opportunity; say "oops" each time. This works extremely well if it is a big room and your opponent has to run after the ball.
3. Miss the ball extremely often.
4. Take an extremely long time getting the ball each time you miss it.
5. Instead of picking up the ball, simply flick it with your paddle until it rolls across the room. Proceed by saying "it's on your side" and making your partner pick up the ball.
6. Sing that part from "Bananaphone" ("ping-pong ping-pong ping-pong ping, bananaphoneeeee") over and over.
7. After missing the ball, scream "I GIVE UP!" Smash your paddle on the table and storm away.
8. Step on the ball. Repeatedly.
9. Play with your undominant hand (right-handed people play with their left hand, and vice-versa).
10. Say "I WIN!" each time your opponent misses the ball.

Updates on Life

Umm yeah...so I haven't been posting for a while, simply because there hasn't really been anything too exciting to blog about and because I've been busy with school. The school year's almost over! I'm excited for summer but I also don't want this year to end because I know sophomore year is going to be tons harder since I'm taking AP US History...I don't know why I agreed to take it. I really want to make this year worth living and one of my latest obsessions has been learning how to breakdance! I also want to learn how to do a front and/or back walkover, to skateboard...the list goes on and on. I'm going to be very busy over the summer. But I haven't actually tried breakdancing because I'm afraid I'm going to break my neck lol. So yeah...oh, I'm making another purse! Two more actually...there's a small blue/silver one that I started quite a while ago but never finished...I still need to finish sewing the bottom, and add the zipper and handle. I'm also making another one out of soda tabs, which is proving difficult because it's hard to get a lot. My friend and I made another channel a while back...you might want to check it out, comment, rate, like, and subscribe (CRLS) if you have an account...that would make my day! :) here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/user/jackieandchristina So yeah...that's my life for now. See you guys later!

Cutest Baby Ever!!

So I never got around to posting all these pictures. I was looking at them earlier and was struck by how cute Sarah is (my grandma hasn't been babysitting her lately. I think she went to pre-school or something). I just want to hug her all day long.

Sarah's adorable toy that I wish I had one of:
