The answer is yes. Hahaha, and no, I'm not that bitter about it. I just thought it was a funny title.
Anyway, I did go trick-or-treating last night. Happy Halloween? Sure. My friend and I were Jack and Jill. She was Jack. It was pretty funny. Other than the freezing numbness and the dramatics, it was fun. Mostly the candy. =] But seriously, I didn't know trick-or-treating was so dramatic. Long story. I don't really feel like getting into it. XD But yes, I had a good deal of fun.
I'm on my high school dance team, and we performed this past Wednesday. I suppose it was pretty good, everyone said it was, regardless of how I feel about it. XD We had mess-ups, but I guess it wasn't that noticeable. Oh well. It's over with. =]
Not much else. Today we are supposed to go to my grandmother's because my aunt and cousins came down from Maryland to visit, and we were going to go see them. But I guess not, now? Darn. I just wanted to go for dinner. Excuse me for not enjoying playing spongebob with my cousins. XD
School....eh. Had 2 tests this past week. Got a 96 and a 98! =DD Yessss. Success. So this week was the end of the marking period, report cards next week. I'm not worried, I already know what my grades are. And I'm doing fine. XD Dance is good..riding is good, though I didn't go this week.
Oh and we are getting our kitchen redone. It's looking pretty cool, but every day when I come home I'm overwhelmed by paint fumes. It's not very wonderful. But hey, what can I do? XD Should be done within the next couple weeks! It's gonna be cooolll.
So, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth yet. And I don't plan on it anytime soon. ;]

The Thirstiest Grounds Can't Take the Rain
Ughhh. Rain. All day. Lots of it. Greeaaattttt.
Aaanyway, it's Saturday, so that's good. Yesterday was the concert at church and then coffee house thing, then I went back to a friend's house for a sleepover. We hung out and ate and did stuff and then popped a movie in at 4:30 and all fell asleep withing the first 10 minutes. And my one friend had to wake me up at 11:30 because I was still asleep. It was weird. I'm usually the first person up. But I got like 6 hours of sleep! Incredible. Then I went home and today I did my final draft for english and a power point slide for my english presentation on Wednesday. Along with some Saturday chores, of course. Oh, and I had a riding lesson yesterday. It was pretty good. Still on Boaz. We haven't really clicked yet. It was cooolllddd yesterday, too. Brr.
As for the rest of the week it was good. I did pointe on Thursday for the first time in like 3 weeks because I had ingrown toenails. Those things completely suck. I tell you the truth. They hurt. XD I still need some decent toe pads though, I borrowed my friend's other pair because I HATE MINE. They do evil things to me. =[
Uhhhh other stuff, nothing too new I guess. Halloween next week. Yay? I'm not planning on doing anything. I don't like walking around in the cold that much. A party would be fun. Well, with the right people. Maybe I'm picky. Or maybe I don't feel like being festive this year. XD Oh and I ordered a new backpack. The one I just got broke like the first week of school, the zipper on the front stopped working and call me picky, but I don't like it when things continually fall out of my backpack. The other zippers were being stupid, too. Oh and it got a hole during the first week of school. So I ordered an L.L. Bean one. They are good and sturdy, I had one before. So yeah.
So...that's basically it. Riding's good, dance is good. The cold is just miserable in the morning, I tell you. Once we were waiting for the bus and I looked up and said to my sister, 'LOOK! There are stars out. This is not right. I should be in bed right now.' And it's true. There was the moon and some stars oh so beautifully lit in the dark sky. It's not healthy to be outside waiting for the bus that early. It's sick and wrong and should be illegal.

Well, You Can't Beat That With a Stick.
Ah, life. Let's see, today is Saturday, and frankly it now seems to me that a week passes with hardly any time or waiting involved at all. How interesting - though I definitely prefer it like this. That way the school year goes faster. I just wish it would slow down more on the weekends.
Yesterday I had a riding lesson - which went well, I will add. I think my instructor is keeping me on Boaz for a while, at least. We did a lot of cantering and cavaletti, it was fun. I was sure I was going to be sore today, but surprisingly my pain is minimal to none. =D Then we went to get sandwiches for dinner and I got stared at quite a bit; what with me being all clad in my lovely disgusting half chaps and boots.
Today I did a 3 1/3 page rough draft for a persuasive essay for english that's due Monday, and it only took me like 2 hours. I was so proud of myself. XD I still have a rather tedious history assignment but I'm not doing it today - it's due on Wednesday.
So yeah, my week is going fine. Normallll as ever I guess. Did a bunch of chores today and..stuff. But OHMYGRAVITY the Twilight saga box set is out!! YUSS! This is so perfect. And they're all hardcover. <33 I must inform my mother so she can get it for me for Christmas. So I guess that's all for now. ;]
*runs off to tell mother*

No Rubber Bullets Now
I suppose life has been going wonderfully, what with this four-day weekend and all. Yep, it's Monday and the last day of my weekend. It was wonderful. Really.
Friday I had my riding lesson, and it went well. Boaz has quite a lovely canter for a big scraggly horse. And then I went to a corn maze with some friends and we stayed out until roughly midnight. =] That was very fun. Sorta cold, but fun. Saturday was our youth group coffee house thinger, which was a great time. And it was all set up with couches and tables and chairs and we had a great time.
The rest of the weekend droned on in relaxed silence, little tasks being done here or there. I really appreciate weekends more when I don't have homework. It's quite lovely. So tomorrow it's back to school again...but at least it's only a four-day week. I can't think of much else to say at the moment.
Life is good. And I suppose I'll end this meaningless rant right there.

Time is Measured in Cups of Coffee
Wow. It has been long, if I do say so myself. Frankly, a lot has happened in the last month. Sort of. School has been...school. The stress comes and goes with the tedious assignments. Dance has gone on, nothing unusual or out of the ordinary. Riding has gone on, though once a week is hardly enough to satisfy me. The most significant thing that happened in the past month is that I am now in love with a certain Twilight saga. I didn't even know I liked romances, and well, maybe I don't - except the ones with vampires in them.
Ah yes, I love vampires. I found myself reading the book in every spare moment I could find - on the bus, in the car, everything. It's a rare occasion that I become so obsessed with a book (or series). I guess in a way I'm picky about what I like. Sure I'll read something for school and possibly like it, but that's different. That's me trying to pick out something I like about the book in order to get through the whole thing. With this, I wasn't expecting to like it so much. I just sort of read, and it just sort of happened. You can ask my family, I was glued to these books. I kept getting copies from a friend as I needed them, and you could not pry me from them with the jaws of life. I've always had a thing for fantasy. I don't know what it is, but something about it is just...well, magical. Okay, obvious, right? But it's true, it's magical to me. It thrills me and captures my emotions and makes me believe, at least while I am reading it, that anything is possible.
Sappy? Yes, but hey, this is my life. It can be sappy and magical if I very well want it to be.
Needless to say, I finished the series. Actually, just yesterday. And you'll never guess what I want for Christmas. That's right, the whole set - hardcover. I frequently destroy paperbacks, and these have to last forever, or at least until I can afford to replace them. Did I mention I love Twilight?
As for everything...sane, well, it's cold. I've been wearing a lot of long sleeves. This morning at the bus stop I about froze my butt off. But it's fall - fall is somewhat nice. Our house is all decorated and the best thing in the whole world is walking in to a nice warm house from the cold with a fire burning in the stove. It's delicious, I tell you. Delicious.
So I've been doing homework, dancing, riding, and reading in my spare time. Life is hectic. Life is stressful. Life is fun. Life is thrilling. Life is boring. Time passes. And life goes on.
