Dear Santa,

So this is the time where I do most of my posts. It's been awhile... But I made a video. Enjoy

Starting a new blog...

That I am. It's going to be immensely fun. I was just introduced to satire today in English Lit. It is now my FAVORITE form of literature. I intend for The chalkboard to be based entirely upon satire. I have many views and I hope for them to spread like wildfire. That is all for now. (Besides the fact that I'm going to be doing a blog post on each blogs once a week for now on.)
Good day.

prizelive.com

I know what you're thinking. This girl is a crackpot. There's no way you can actually make money online. Well think again. Prizelive is completely legit. I've literally made 20$ in the past week. I'm saving up to buy a SNES (super nintendo)/NES (nintendo) from vpgames and I'm using prizelive to get it. You do "offers" like surveys, signing up for things and doing quiz' and stuff. It's super legit. I'm 16 with no job but for now it's ok because i've got a paypal account that's got money in it. Seriously, I was really excited when I found this and started getting my payments. You can even play games to get money, if you sign on daily and complete the daily tasks you get money too! So give it a try here.

Avatar

The other day my mother forced me to take two, eight year old boys to see Avatar. I was not too thrilled about this. I'd seen millions of previews for it and I thought it looked plain stupid. In actuality it wasn't that bad of a movie. The only thing I hated was some of the actors couldn't do very good voice overs. Which is bad. Very bad. It had a pretty decent plot, although in the beginning I didn't know what was happening or why. There was a lot of cussing, which I'm usually okay with but I was with my little brother and his friend. Although the movie was completely un-realistic I enjoyed most of it. Be forewarned, with previews and all it's about three hours long! I didn't know that before the movie, and I definitely wish I would've known. Overall I'll give the movie a 4 out of 5 stars. Just for the imagination.

Top things to do for Christmas Spirit

My family and I made a gingerbread house the other day (heres the post about it) and I the whole time my eight year old brother sang Christmas songs. It drove me crazy because he was out of tune the entire time, but I thought I'd make a list of my top choices for Christmas cheer.

Make a ginger bread house! They're easy to make, a little messy, but if you mess up it's always edible! Not many foods can show real Christmas spirit like a ginger bread house. And they aren't incredibly expensive. I'm sure you could pick one up at your local dollar store, then spend at least an hour of family fun making it.

Put up your Christmas decorations! (Not including the tree) Giving little kids a certain 'job' makes them feel important and special. Not only can they help out and make your house look a little more creative, the smile they get while decorating is totally worth it.


Go outside and play in the snow! There's multiple things to do out there, you've got snowmen to make, snow ball fights to start, snow forts to create, snow angels that need to be layed on. You can go to the biggest hill in your town and go sledding, go door to door Christmas caroling, ice skating, anything you want!

Put up your Christmas tree. My family always put's ours up at least three weeks in advance, and it's a sure fire way to get my little brother into singing Christmas songs. Take an hour out of the day and make sure everyone's home. This is one of the best times of the year, with everyone helping put up the lights and candy canes on the tree. Real quality bonding time. Even taking down the tree later can be fun if you make a game out of it.


And lastly spending a night watching Christmas movies with your family around a fireplace (if you have one) and drinking hot chocolate is fabulous. You can never go wrong with placing a movie in and spending real time with your family. My favorites are Elf and the Nightmare Before Christmas!

Ginger Bread Houses

Last night my family and I made a ginger bread house, we'd been waiting all week for everyone to be home at the same time and last night was it. We didn't spend too much time on our ginger bread house, (this was our first time) and we've definitely learned a couple lessons on making them now. This is how our ginger bread house first looked.

Then our ginger bread house started to crumble. (I'm thinking it's because we didn't let the icing dry before we started putting on the decorations.) Next year we'll be sure to do just that. I suggested using a hair dryer for quicker results. But i'm not so sure if that would work...I guess I'll find out next year.


Finally our ginger bread house crumbled into this. It was pretty sad, but we decided that the ginger bread didn't taste all that bad, and my brother kept all the candy that we didn't use, so time well spent.

What I've learned from this experience is that for a family of three. You buy three different ginger bread houses and let the games begin!

Celebrities dying...

I honestly think people care way to much about the celebrity deaths nowadays. Honestly, how can you really be upset to the point that you cried when you didn't even know the fella or gal? People went crazy over Michael Jackson, Heath Ledger, Billy Mays and DJ AM. Brittany Murphy died yesterday (12/20/09) and now people are going crazy over her too. I mean I'm not saying it's a shame they died, but really people. Do you care about the terminally ill children in hospitals as much as you care about them? There are some rude people out there on sites like death list, basically hoping a certain celeb they picked will die, just so they can get a few points tacked on to their name. I don't know, I really don't get people any more.

The 'Bu

So I found this 'series' a couple months ago, and now I thought I'd share them with the world. Everyone's seen Jizz in my Pants and I'm on a Boat but no one has really seen anything else. The Lonely Island, is an amazing group and I hope you like them as much as I do. Make sure if you like the first episode to continue watching the rest. It get's a little weird after the first four, but it's worth it. Or if these aren't your style check out The Backseatsman or Awesome Town

It's going to be a White Christmas

Or at least for my town it's going to be one. I got home today and my family was making a Snow Fort for my dog, (me, my brother and my dog are in the picture) I might get sick for doing that, but my dog now has the coolest snow fort in town. I'm going to start counting down the days til Christmas just like I did last year. I'm not going to lie I'm quite excited for the Holidays this year. I go to my dads Christmas on the 24th and I'm more than likely going to hang out with my old best friend too. I'm really happy, and I can't wait to go shopping on the 26th. I may have gone a long time ago the after Christmas, but I really don't remember it. We're waking up very early to get it done before all the crazies come out. I've heard a lot of bad stories but I'm pretty sure we can handle ourselves. I've had my Christmas shopping done since about the beginning of the month, so I don't need to worry about any last minute shopping, (I learned my lesson awhile ago.) So good luck to everyone who still has to shop!

High School Girls.

I honestly can not stand high school girls. They're rude, ignorant and nosy. They think they can tell anyone anyone's busy and they're not going to get bitched at for it. News flash you're not number one on the face of this planet. News flash personal business means PERSONAL as in don't tell people things they don't need to know about other people. I'm honestly going insane with all the stupid women surrounding me. I have a friend, and he has a secret, I'm not sure who'll be reading this blog once it's posted so I, being a good friend, am not going to post that secret. He was dating a girl and he told her and she dumped him. Now days after she dumped him she's going around telling just about half the school. He's been getting questioned and it's just being blown WAY out of proportion. So I text the girl who's been telling everyone, saying nicely it's not her place to being telling everyone and what not. She gets upset and tells My EX best friend "I'm being mean to her" So EX best friend starts saying I have to room to talk because I'm pregnant and just a lot of stupid stuff about how we used to be friends (I realize why I de-friended her now * Good job me by the way*) But I honestly don't even know what to type right now, I'm so pissed I can't think straight. Girls just need start keeping out of peoples business. That would make the world SUCH A BETTER PLACE. So do me a favor, next time you hear some gossip. Tell the person to stop talking, please! :)

The Princess and the Frog

This is such a cute movie. Whether you're seeing it with your family or by yourself you're going to enjoy yourself. Although about 20 minutes into the movie you know "what's going to happen later" it's really good and almost unpredictable (besides that one point.) The storyline is different than most Disney movies and the songs are not something you could compare to any other movie. I highly recommend seeing this movie, and you must keep in mind I did not want to see this movie at first I thought it was going to be 'lame' or 'too kiddish.' Well boy was I surprised. I'd give this a 4.5/5 star rating. So you should definitely go see it today or sometime soon.

I've got almost two months left...

Today is December 13th. If you're not up to date with my life I'm pregnant, and due on the 20th of February. I hope to be getting a C- section done on the 15th. Which means I have about 60 days left. I'm nervous, and scared, the only major surgery I can recall is having my wisdom teeth pulled out. I know I've made a hard decision (some may think a selfish decision since I got myself into this mess) but I think it's what's best. I'm giving Taelor Kaeleen up for adoption. I've found a lovely couple from New York who's been trying for babies for about 7 years. I no that I'd never be able to give a child a decent enough life, the life that every child deserves. I met Mike and Sophie a few weeks ago and they are really nice people, it's going to be an open adoption and they've promised their going to do everything they can for her.

My only hopes for later in life is that when they tell her about me she doesn't hate me for what I did to her. I'm not abandoning her and i'll always love her no matter what.

Christmas is coming up...

And I've got most of my shopping done :) Honestly I don't know what I want this year so I've made a list of movies that I loooove but don't own. I told my mum to get them used as well so less money spent more movies for me :D I'm pretty excited though for this year, my little brother (with the assistance of some wonderful person...me) has made my mum some cute homemade gifts and he's freaking out about them. This years gunna be pretty good.

Suicide is bad for your health.

As much of an oxy moron that is it's true. Suicide is a serious issue and should not be taken lightly. Every year almost one million people commit suicide. That means one suicide every 45 seconds. If you need help because you know someone or are having suicidal thoughts yourself please talk to somebody. Here is a list of people/organizations you can talk to. They can help you through it just about all the way throgh, and make sure every step is taken to prevent this. If you'd rather not talk to one of them a counselor at school, work or even your local Bowens center could help you through it on a more personal and in depth relationship. No matter what you think you're never going through life alone. You always have somebody to talk to. Don't let anything happen because you were to afraid to speak out for yourself or someone else. Take action.
