Yourfonts.com is not free anymore

Grr! I was so excited to make my own font with my handwriting, and I finally got to the sixth step when I realized it cost $9 to download it. Well, you should have seen how mad I was. I spent forever working on it – all for nothing!
Well, I did my research, and I found out that in April they started charging money to use it. So it used to be free!!! Boy, was I even madder (I didn't even think it was possible). To think that 3 months ago I could have used it for free. I mean, I know the people who work on the website need money, too, but come on. I'm not old enough for my own credit card so how the hell am I supposed to pay for this? My dad doesn't believe in buying stuff online. Then again, neither do I; it's pretty risky... And it's just a font...
Sorry for ranting... again. This has not been my week. At least it's Saturday, and tomorrow's a new (and hopefully happier!) week. 
Catch you later. :)

Fighting over the computer

Ew! Don't you hate it when siblings try to take the computer away from you when you just got on? It's really annoying. The parents always give the computer to the younger siblings. Um, hello, I'm actually the one that has a 5 page typed essay due tomorrow and you give her the computer? 
This used to happen to me all the time last year, and I hate it. A lot. So to all of you people who are the younger siblings, please have some respect for elders. :(
And all of those people who are only kids wishing for a sibling... You guys are incredibly stupid. Sorry about my little rant, I just needed to vent. Don't we all? :)

Nervous about the first day: my dream last night.


Ever since the end of the year I've been telling everyone that I'm not at all nervous about next year. I mean, my first year of high school is going to be great. Obviously! I actually believed that too. But last night, the dream I had made me think differently.

In my dream, I was lost in the school and I couldn't find my next class, which was Fashion and Design (a class I didn't even sign up for in real life). Another part of my dream consisted of the principal announcing there were too many ninth graders and some people would have to go back to elementary school as a fifth grader! And I was one of those people. 
I found myself back with my old fifth grade teacher, and a bunch of random unlucky students. Then after first period, we were allowed back to the high school, which was good. The only bad part was, the other kids in the high school didn't view us as ninth graders, but rather, fifth graders. Not only that, but I was scared to look down and realize my shirt was in my hand and I was only wearing a bra. I ran to a bathroom and put on my shirt, looked around, and saw a boy in there. I told him, "This is the girls bathroom." He just looked at me and said "I know," and gave me a creepy smile. I bolted out of there.. It was terrible!

I woke up with this sudden realization: I was scared of going into high school, but I didn't know it deep down. My dream confirmed my fears... I am scared of the typical things a teenager is scared of. Getting lost, fitting in, wearing the right clothes... etc. I hope September wont be as bad as that. Only 48 days until I find out.

Have you read your summer reading books yet?

I bet you guys just had a heart attack at reading my title. Don't worry, it's only the middle of July. But then again, I read 2 meaty books, and I only have one left to read. HA! And people tell me I don't have time management skills. Me? 'Course not!
Then again, I'm sure one of you guys lost your list. Ah, well. You can try to find it on your schools website or you can ask a friend what books on the list they read/are reading and find the same ones. Just be sure that the friend has the right list, too.
And if your books aren't at the library... sucks to be you. You can go to a bookstore that has the book, and buy it. But if you don't necessarily want to buy it then you can take the book, sit down in a corner, and read it. Maybe you could just read a few chapters and then come back another day to finish.
Remember: It's better to read your summer reading books in June/July rather than the end of August. The earlier the better. And at the end of August, when you've probably forgotten the entire books you read, then use SparkNotes to refresh your memory. (Just type in the name of the book in the search). Trust me, don't rely mainly on SparkNotes. Actually read the book(s)!

Where's the seanut brittle?!


During lunch last year in school, the topic of TV shows would always come up at the table. All my friends would talk about watching 24 or Lost or Rock of Love or The Office. Don't get me wrong, I watch some of these occasionally, too. But are they really meant for our age group of fourteen to fifteen year olds? No! That's why they don't have as much appeal to me as Degrassi or Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide or even Spongebob! These are the shows for us, and then my friends think I'm immature for watching them.
I totally understand my friend's points of view. Degrassi, a show that revolves around sex and high school is definitely meant for eight year olds... not.
While watching a Spongebob episode titled "Pranks a Lot" this came to my head. Don't ask me why Patrick crying over seanut brittle made me think of my lunch discussions. My mind works in mysterious ways. Any of you guys watch shows that aren't necessarily meant for your age group? I'd love to hear about it. ;)

Going to the pet store

I went to the pet store this afternoon, and it was really fun. I looked at the gerbils, dogs, cats, birds, and even the fish! Oh, and just for future reference the fish isle smelled really odd...
While I was looking at the cats up for adoption, I came across some cat harnesses, specifically designed so you can walk your cat! The funny thing is, I walk my cat and my bunny rabbit! Together! I'm not really a dog person (I mean, I love dogs but still), but I happen to love the fact that people walk their dogs which is why last year I decided to walk my cat and bunny down the street every day. I still do so now! I bet the people on my street think I am a total psycho. :(
Oh well! Knowing me, I always love to stand out.

Want to learn how to walk your cat on a leash? :)

I hate eating outside!



I had lunch outside today, and it made me think back to school. Sometimes we had the option to eat outside. Everyone loved it, so they would all rush outside and get good spots to eat. However, I always hated it, because of the bugs and my butt getting wet from sitting on the grass and all the trash that littered the floors... UGH!
But then again, if I was the only person eating in the cafeteria, then I'd look like a complete loser. So I do the same thing any teenager would do. I pretend to love eating outside! 
What about you guys? Do you all like eating lunch outside?

SOMETHING FUN TO DO OVER THE SUMMER:
Make an account on Second Life. It's quite fun yet very confusing. Next time you're bored check it out and see if it's your style. It's definitely time consuming.
