Reindeer are better than people.

Please enjoy just a few of my Christmas ramblings:

God gave me Goat Santa so I would avoid Santa at Christmas time and instead think about Christ. 

Goat Santa is from a show called "Grim" which I shouldn't have watched because it freaked me out and gave me an irrational fear of Santa Claus. I may have boycotted Santa a little this year, and without him I finally realize what a huge symbol of Christmas he is. That is something I think is dumb. I think Christ should be the biggest symbol of Christmas out there, not Santa, and certainly not Goat Santa.

I like to sing Frozen songs and plan on building snowmen I will never probably never build. But if I did build a snowman he would have a drink in his hand, and his snow up against the burning sand, probably getting gorgeously tan in sumer! Wait what? Did I just quote Frozen again?

My favorite Sherlock Holmes is The Case of the Blue Carbuncle. It makes me think of Christmas eve nights making puzzles and cooking the Christmas breakfast for the next day. It hardly even has anything in it about Christmas, but I will forever think fondly of memories of Christmas. "My name is Sherlock Holmes, and it is my business to know things that other people don't."

I hope you enjoy Christmas as I do. I hope you don't let Goat Santa get to you and distract you from the true meaning. I also hope that you don't let petty things distract you from important things like singing Frozen songs and Christmas traditions, Satan tries hard to stop family from making good memories. I don't think that there has been any Christmas where he didn't try something. I hope you have the strength to ignore it. Merry Christmas.

15 though

I bet you're getting sick of birthday posts, but too bad. 

This girl is Hannah Jones and she officially wins at being the greatest. 

No one else can I turn to when I have to get something off my chest.

I can talk to her about anything, we will be grandma's on a porch knitting one day. 

Happy Birthday.

Who says we have to let it go?

A few secrets I think should be made know:

The first day of high school, you're going to step into the school and think to yourself, "This is nothing like High School Musical."

High School does not last for your entire life. It may seem that way, but don't worry, it's actually only three years. What?

If you do your hair in the morning, I promise you're day will be better. I don't know why it works, it doesn't even need to look good, it will just make it better. 

Sometimes, the books that you need to read for school are actually really good books with interesting morals, so don't let the analyzing ruin your perspective. 

The teacher that work at the school aren't actually prison wardens or devil worshipers, they're nice people who want you to learn if you just give them a chance. 

Even if you feel a little overwhelmed by high school and all that it implies, there should always, always be time in your life for breakfast. Just saying. 

Sleep is priceless and I promise you it's ok to choose sleeping over a social activity. Your friends will understand, and if they don't, then their priorities are completely screwed up and you probably don't mean that much to them anyway.

Classical music is not actually a sin and if you stopped to give it a chance by listening to it while you do your homework, you might find it's actually very nice. 

It's not worth it to settle for a grade. No teacher is going to beat you for expecting more out of yourself. I promise that if you ask, you might just find a way to make things better. 

If important things in your life like school, or religious beliefs are falling by the wayside in your schedule then maybe something you're doing is really not that important and should be dropped out of your life. 

You don't have to be anyone but yourself. You don't have to follow any rules about who you are. You don't have to be your mother, or your father, or your sister. You don't have to be a certain type of person. It's never to late to change who you are if you're not who you want to be. 

Anyway, I hope you didn't mind that this post didn't have any pictures and also is very rambled and really has no meaning. I was told to "write while the fire was in me" and apparently watching High School Musical lights a fire. 

Swag makes me gag

I decided that "swag" is a drug, that everyone is secretly taking. I am not interested in drugs, I keep the word of wisdom. Back off swaggies. The word "swag" actually has three informal definitions:

A) Money or goods taken by a thief or burglar.

B) Products given away for free, typically for promotional purposes.

C) Marijuana. Typically of a low grade. 

 Did you know that in the United States, 97 people die a year from "swag"? Ok, so I just made that up, but at least 97 swaggies are probably murdered a year by the folks who find them obnoxious. Swag is deadly. I just want to let everyone in on a little secret now, "swag" is not a synonym with "cool". It is a synonym with "cheap marijuana". In case you are suffering a bad case of "swagvocabitis" I have a few suggestions for you on some new words to describe yourself that are actual synonyms with "cool":

-Lover of family

-Subject of a black and white photo

-Owner of a nice camera

-Online shopper

-Watcher of "My Cat From Hell"

-Late sleeper

-Kind to others

-Close to the spirit

-Player of Nancy Drew

-Reader of good books

-Open minded

-Hard worker

-Lover of the light

-Shakespearean enthusiast 

-Kindred spirit

Well, now that your vocabulary consists of more words than "swag" and "yolo", I hope you will start to change the world, one synonym at a time. Now go out, take chances, make mistakes and (most importantly) be cool and not swaggy.

Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed

I'm just in a good mood here are a few reasons why:

-It's finally looking like fall in my yard.
-I'm wearing my favorite socks.
-Sometimes I watch read Harry Potter and also color at the same time, it's really a skill.
-Christmas music plays on the radio and my brother sings it out loud.
-The Beach Boys are the background music for my life.
-In Spanish they teach us how to dance the merengue.
-Hogan's Heroes is there for me every night at 8:00
-There's Christmas lights up in my room.
-I have 99 books in my book list.
-Even though it's November, I still have popsicles in my fridge.
-The Teen Beach Movie is now on netflix.

Good days are coming folks.

Hipsterween

I guess it was a holiday or something because Hannah and I dressed up as missionaries. For the win.

Basically Nancy Drew has taken over my entire life. I have no time for anything else except maybe candy. Halloween was too good to me.

My favorite thing about fall is that the stars come out at about 6:30 and so after dinner I can just sit around craning my neck getting lost in the stars.

Sick as a dog is how I live each day. Just sitting around, feeling awful nasty, but those who don't complain are never pitied. It's a shame I all too often complain.

My artistic tendencies have dried up completely. Two weeks ago I was all for drawing and painting but now all I want to do is curl up in bed and watch Pride and Prejudice.

Food is my best friend. Food understands. Food doesn't make me do homework. Food doesn't flirt with boys instead of talking to me. Food has my back. I love you, Food.

They say "It's going to snow soon." In my language that means "Yeah basically, it's Christmas right now, you should probably pull out the nativities."

Some people call me lazy but they don't know that every day I work very hard to improve my most pronounced skill. It takes hard work and effort to be this good at procrastinating.

That's it for now folks, I've got to move on now to something else that can distract me from what I should actually be doing. 

Life's a school and you gotta show up.

                              

Suggestion: Watch this video. Watch it like four times and then show it to your teachers. Then watch it four times with them. Awesome.

Nothing

Well now, a friend of mine informed me that I needed to post, so I guess here you go. 

I think that some people have a hard time getting up in the morning because the devil really doesn't want to deal with them that day. Just remember that when you accidentally sleep in until 12.

Sometimes when I pray about having a good day the Lord answers it by giving me food in every class period. I guess He knows me well.

One of my teachers started talking about how girls and boys think about different things. I guess I got a little distracted because all I was thinking about was pizza.

Who else thinks it should be Christmas right now? I get random Christmas feelings all the time. I'll be walking down the hall and then all the sudden I'm like "Is it Christmas?" People try to talk to me and all I hear is "Christmas, Christmas, Christmas."

Hope you liked this random and sporadic post, it's whatever. Posts are kinda like hiccups, nobody can make them start or stop. Anyways hope you have a Christmas day. What?
