So Annoying

I Am So Fed Up With The Wacky Whether Here!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is DECEMBER 7 and there is not snow on the ground. It hasn't stuck yet all year and it is DECEMBER!!!!

I think that we are weather cursed. When we moved away from AZ the 1st time, right after we left a drought ended. While we lived in NH, it Never Never EVER snowed on Christmas. What I mean is that the snow was usually half melted. When we moved away from AZ the last time...well I don't know what we did- but we did SOMETHING! AND...now when we live here, there is no snow in December.

We Are Cursed

I Did IT!! (hooray)

YES!! Today I (officially) drove the van (like the one in the picture except brown.) I drove the car from our church building, to our house ALL BY MYSELF, and I didn't crash, run into anyone, or destroy any thing by running into it. I just dropped off two people that live in our neighbourhood and drove home!
The most memorable moment of the experience was when Brother Jacobs (not real name) saw us/me coming and was whooping and hollering (COOL WORD) when I went past!!

Happy First Day of the Christmas Season (Otherwize Known As Black Friday)

Happy Black Friday!
According to tradition, I will not go shopping today (like the rest of America). Instead I will sit around, eat the Thanksgiving leftovers, set up the Christmas decorations, and practicing driving (a recent development, but I'm gonna do it this year.)

DRIVING PRIVLEGES!!!

I'm SOOOOOOO exited!
I got my permit and now I can drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I get to go drive in the church parkinglot!!!!
IT IS SO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE DRIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

School, School, School

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!!!

My normal school day ends at 2:15, however on Friday i get iut at 11:18!!
I"M SOOOOOO EXCITED!!

Going, Going, Gone!!

On Monday I got a haircut, and now my hair is GONE!!!
It used to be mid backish, now it is about 1-2 inches past my shoulders. I didn't want it cut this short, but I like it anyway. It makes really cute ponytalis, braids and pigtails. I think it is sooo funny, my ponytail (when my hair is frizzy/curly) looks like a biggish puffball.
The ONLY bad thing is that when I brush my hair, I overbrush (is that a word?) and the comb/brush goes past the length of my hair because I'm used to it being long.

(p.s. I'll put pictures on soon, but our camera is being funky, so I'll procrastinate untill tomorrow)

Happy Birthday to MEEEEEEEEE!!

YAY! Yesterday was my birthday and it was SOOOOOOO AMAZING!!!!
I'll just tell you my day.

I woke up at 7:30 and we opened presents (well, I opened the presents, but you catch my drift.)
I got:
1) Seminary Pencils (They're SOOO pretty, red, orange, yellow, green, and purple!)

2) A tan and black checkered shirt and a yellow shirt w/ brown polka dot and flowers on the bottom. They're both really comfortable and LONG (halfway down my calf). They're awesome!

3) The Movie : Passage To Zarahemla

4) Tie die socks and Knee High Socks (I don't know why, but I LOVE socks!!!)

5) Gloves

6) A Ten Pack of Almond Joys (OK, I have a confession. By about 2:00 PM ALL of the Almond Joys were gone. sigh.)

7) Tickets to see The Forgotten Carols on December 6

Also, (kinda another present) we had chocolate fudgey pop tarts and vanilla milkshake pop tarts. (We had them instead of donuts we had pop tarts for breakfast because for some weird reason I hate doe nuts, the only part I like about them is the frosting. MMMMMM.)
We had lasagna for dinner (the really yummy store bought kind. Stroffers, or Stighters something like that) and angel food cake with whipped chocolate frosting for dessert (YUM!!)
All in all, I had a very awesome birthday, and now I am 15 years old!!!
I GET TO O AND GET MY PERMIT NOW. I'M SOOOOOO EXITED. MWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAetc. ("creepy" laugh that really corny bad guys in movies use. Y'know the ones where they try to scare everyone by laughing, but only succeed in sounding wimpy. Yeah, that laugh.)

Crazy Football Game!

On Saturday I went to the Byu/red people (I don't remember the team name). It was really good and we won 41/12. And there were some very memoriable things that happened.

1) The BYU band plays some CRAZY music. My favorite was when they would play a long song and it would stop and stop, like pausing and playing a song on a CD randomly.

2) When the band played the Empire Strikes Back theme (from Star Wars) the ENTIRE STADIUM would move their arms up and down like a robot.

3) Everytime that BYU gained points, these guys from the ROTC would do pushups. It was SO COOL...and they did so many pushups. Like first, they would do 7, then 21 etc. (or the total number of points.)

4) The War Dance. ('nuff said)

Even though it was a crazy game, it was AMAZING, and I was glad I went.

Mondays

What is it about Mondays that make them horrible? Maybee it's the tiredness from staying up over the weekend. Or the fact that it's a whole 6 days untill the weekend.
But whatever the reason, I REALLY hate, well strongly dislike Mondays.

Old Spiderman With Buff Arms

You heard it hear first... my Dad is WAY BUFF!!!
It is so cool!! He flexes his arm, and on his bicep (upper arm) there is a round muscle the size of a baseball/softball and it is soooooo hard. Also his tendons pop out and (according to me and the boys) Dad could be Spiderman from the future. In Spiderman 4, the plot should be: Spiderman finds a time machine and goes to the future and meets himself. We were joking that Dad could be the Old Spiderman, because his arms are so buff.
Dad can also do an one handed push up. I mean WHO CAN DO A ONE HANDED PUSH UP!?!?!?! I THOUGHT THAT ONLY PEOPLE IN THE ARMY COULD DO IT!!!!!
Dad's buffness inspired the boys to try to one handed push ups, ending with them "pushing up" with one hand while I lift them up by the back of their shirts.
Everyone was rolling around on the ground, laughing hysterically, and sounding like a pack of hienas.

Darn Crunchy Grass!!

This week was possibly the worst week of my life. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednsday, Thursday and Friday, when I got to school, and walked across the grass to go inside... THE GRASS WAS FROZEN. AS IN IT CRUNCHED WHEN YOU WALKED ON IT. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
It is NOT supposed to be this cold in OCTOBER. In the mornings cars have FROST on them. I"M NOT READY FOR COLD WEATHER!!!!!!!!!!!

Darn Global warming, making it sweltering in Arizona and freezing Utah solid!!!!

Awesome Poem

OK, so this poem is from a book I read, The Final Warning, By James Patterson. It's about a group of kids with wings and their adventures. It's a really good read because the main character/narrator, Max (Max is short for Maximum and she's a girl) , is really sarcastic and has an awesome sense of humor. The Final warning is the fourth book in the series. #1 is Maximum Ride: the Angel Experiment. #2 MR (Maximum Ride): Schools Out Forever. #3 MR: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports. #4 Mr: The Final Warning. And the new one that is coming out soon is: #5 Waterwings.
Anyway, the Poem:

A Poem

By Max

White is the color of little bunnies with pink noses.

White is the color of fluffy clouds fluffing their way across the sky.

White is the color of soft-serve ice cream in a cone.

White is the color of angel's wings and Angel's wings.

White is the color of brand-new ankle socks fresh out of the bag.

White is the color of crisp sheets in schmancy hotels.

White is the color of every last freaking, gol-dang thing that you can see for endless miles and miles if you happen to be in Antarctica trying to save the world, which now you aren't so sure you can do because you feel like if you see any more whiteness -- Wonder Bread, someone's underwear, teeth -- you will completely loose your ever-lovin' mind and wind up pushing a grocery cart full of empty cans around New York City, muttering to yourself.

The End

Well, it's not Shakespeare, but I like it. It's TOTALLY HILARIOUS.

(and if you don't like it, Oh Well.)

Frankenstein

I'm really, really glad that Mary Shelley (author of Frankenstein) is dead because if she was alive I would probably hunt her down and MURDER her. (Not really, but I can only fantasize.) To explain my hatred of Mary Shelley, I have a story for you.
WHY I HATE MARY SHELLEY
By: Erica
Once upon a time there was a girl, living somewhere at sometime in someplace. This girl went to a very nice school, which I cannot disclose the name of. At that school, this girl (lets name her erica, shall we?) Erica had an English class. English 10 Honors. In this English class, Erica read Frankenstein by: Mary Shelley. Erica had to make an absolutely awesome portfolio about Frankenstein with all sorts of wonderful papers in it. Well, on an undisclosed Sturday, Erica woke up, took a shower, and got right to work editing all of her papers. (Well her parents edited, she just fixed her mistakes on the computer.) Erica sat and worked all day long, typing her wonderfull papers on the computer, and fixing their mistakes. Unfortunately for erica, she had about a Bazillion papers to edit, so her brain exploded from the sheer weight of her assignment, causing her to fail English 10 Honors.
The End.

Well, thats not really what happened, but I just REALLY want this project to be over because its DRIVING ME TOTALLY INSANE!!!!

Sorry, I had to rant.

Cold

So today it was absolutely FREEZING. As in, I wore my new down coat (it's PURPLE!!) to school and I wore it ALL DAY LONG (well most of the day). It was sooooo cold!! In Orchestra the classroom was cold, so we moved into the auditorium foyer to play (its really hard to play a string instrument when it's cold. It goes out of tune and makes wonkey sounds. Weird.). When we got back into the classroom after practice, it was actually colder than when we first started. THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS ON AND It FELT LIKE IT WAS BELOW FREEZING IN THERE!!! What is the problem with my school!?!?!?!?!

Well ,I was kind of expecting it to be cold, as it snowed on Saturday and Sunday (only a little bit.) SO, take THAT New Hampsurians We got snow before you did! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!! (Really insane, creepy laugh that you hear in horror movies : )).

Now I will now go and complete my copious amounts of homework, wesaring my beautiful warm purple coat that makes me look like a purple marshmellow. Oh well, at least I'm a WARM purple marshmellow.

Hello Everyone!!!

Hi Everyone who wants to see whats going on here-
So I decided to start a blog here because me and mom have issues about her blog. Mainly, I think that she should change the format (colors and stuff) but she thinks that its fine the way it is. Dad told me that if I didn't like that mom didn't want to change it, I should make my own blog where i can do WHATEVER I WANT. So I did.
Before I started, dad was like "you know the rules" and told me them. So now I know all the Super Secret Unofficial Rules for Blogging

1. Never, ever tell people your real name, number, address etc.
So, in accordance to this rule:
I am: Me, I etc.
Mom is: Mom
Dad is: Dad
oldest brother is: Big S
2nd brother is: Big J
3rd brother is: Little S
youngest brother is: Little R.

2. Ummm... I can't remember any more of THE RULES so, oops.

So, I call my blog, Life in the Smallest Bedroom because I have the smallest bedroom, while everyone else has Humongous, Gargantuan rooms. I swear that my room sometimes feels about the size of a postage stamp, but I digress.

Here on this blog I'll tell about my life as a High Schooler and other seemingly random things that will just *pop* into my head!!

Oh, and to alleviate questions before they come up: the ages of everyone are: Mom and Dad- ancient. (not really, i think that they are 38/39 and 40). Me- 14, going on 15 in November. Big S- 12, Big J- 11, Little S- 9, and Little R- 7.
I hope that that blows away all of the questions about age and will save me from explaining myself in a later post about our ages.

Erica

P.S. Disclaimer: I apologize here and now that some of my posts probably won't make sense, so I'm just saying that now, so I won't make some people go crazy, due to some weird thing that I just happen to post.
