Christmas!
My next favorite thing is spending time with my family. I have a busy family so spending time with them isn't all that easy during the week. We all have different schedules too. We get together, eat, open presents, and just talk about what has or hasn't been going on in our lives.
Finally, the third best thing about Christmas is that it is Jesus' birthday and I was born a day after Jesus. Totally cool, I know! Jesus and I are only one day apart. Who really needs to know about all the years that separate us also? It's not all that important that it is one day and 2000+ years. It's just cool thinking of it as we were born one day apart.
Christmas is one of my most favorite holidays.

Alabama Football
Not only is the game exciting and exhilerating, it allows my family to spend time bonding together. As a family, we don't spend as much time with one another as we probably should. We are all so busy. When we all get home, we are tired and have other things to do. Luckily, the love of one sport and team can bring us together and we are able to laugh and just hangout with each other.

Thank You!
Thinking thoughts... What to do?
What happens when those people come back into your life and want to be friends again? Do you just set everything aside and let them back in? Do you risk getting your heart broken again? Do you just simply take the chance and if they mess up again, its their fault? Either way you might lose and there is a possibility that you may just end up looking like a fool. The person can change and be the greatest ever, but you still remember all the bad things that have happened. You just can't seem to find the strength inside of yourself to let all those things go. You have no clue what to do and you are once again confused.
The person has called and called and asked for more chances. You have said that you will think about it and have an answer for them when you get to it. All of a sudden, the person stops calling and you wonder, do they even care anymore or are they just busy? One may never know but if you can't be there as a friend, it seems difficult to understand why they would ever be anything more than that. You are ultimately left with the choice. It may sound like a simple yes or no question. It goes much, much deeper than that. It deals with the way you feel about that person in your heart. It also depends are whether you are willing to fall apart all over again just to give this person one more chance. In the end, you are the only one who can make this choice for you. Not your friends, your parents, the person, it is all left up to you to decide where your life goes and where you end up. It's all up to you. That's why everyone says, "life is all about your choices."

Haircut!
Also, it is really easy to fix in the morning and you can do many different things with it. You don't have to wear the same hair style for an entire year. You can wear it a different way for a long time. I'm big on things being different than everyone else. Why be the same when you can be unique and stand out? Think about it! If everyone in the world was the same, this place would be so boring, we would barely be able to stand it. That's just how I feel about that issue.
I also love wearing different things that most find odd. I for sure have a unique sense of style. Some like it and others don't care for it at all. It's me though and I like it. I deal with a lot of things differently than most others do. I deal with stress by laughing. I deal with crying by eating chocolate and drinking root beer. I deal with death by cuddling with a pillow. I don't dwell on things that happened a long time ago. I learn from those situations and try and avoid them in the future. I take things differently when people are mean. I always give people the benefit of the doubt. That can be a downfall sometimes too. Most times it is, but it pays off in the end a few times. I'm very unique and handle things differently. Let me know how you handle different situations.

Halloween!
I don't believe in spending the whole month of October waiting for Halloween, but I do believe in celebrating it no matter what age you are. There is a point to where you have to stop trick or treating, but you don't have to give up the whole party thing too. Next year, I think my friends and I are going to just have a big costume party. I love parties. Now, it is time to start thinking about Thanksgiving and everyone likes that holiday.

Homework...
I'm not thinking about dropping down by any means because I have worked way too hard the past 2 years to just throw it all away. I'm just thinking that maybe I need to figure out a better way of managing my time so that I dont' feel so overwhelmed all at once. I am a person that doesn't handle alot of things at once. I prefer to break things down one at a time if possible. All this stress is really catching up to me. Things are going to have to slow down so I can relax. Fall break helped a little bit but I was still doing work then too, so it wasn't all that much help. I just hope I can take a little breather for about a week or so. That would be very nice!

The Best Halloween Ever!
My daddy wasn't home from work when I had fallen asleep. When he came home and he woke me up to give me a very cute stuffed animal. He said he wanted me to at least have something on Halloween, since I couldn't go trick or treating. He also brought me candy, but my favorite part was the stuffed animal. The animal had a pumpkin for a head and was wearing scarecrow clothes and had a straw hat on it's head.
I know this probably doesn't sound like much to the average person, but I thought the world of the stuffed animal. The fact that my daddy and mommy were so worried about me being heartbroken over not being able to celebrate Halloween that they would go out of his way to make it the best they possibly could. It meant pretty much the world to me when I was five. I will always remember that as one of my most favorite Halloweens.

Major Upsetness!
It's not like I'm slacking or all my other grades would be down too. I'm really trying to understand but math just doesn't come easy for. It never has. As a matter of fact, I don't think it ever will. I hope my parent's don't ground me, because I really am doing my best. My fall break will either be ruined or a blast. One will never know.
I am going to work as hard as I possibly can to make the 2nd nine weeks grade better so that I can bring up the C average. Also... It's not like I have a low C, it's .09 points away from a B. I think thats the part that hurts the most. I just don't like it. All A's and one C... that just looks and sounds ugly. I've been trying so hard to keep my grades up and I hardly get any sleep these days, but apparently math just isn't my forte. I have worked and studied and tried as hard as I could on everything. I have done the best I could and I guess I have to be satisfied with that.

Halloween Senses...
There are many different Halloween senses that you can experience.
I can taste the wonderful candy that I shall obtain by hopefully dressing up as a lady-bug or bumble bee. :]
I can feel the clothe of the costume I will have on.
I can hear all the monsters yelling as people pass them.
I can see all the lights and fog machines that will be going the night of Halloween.
I can hear the screams of the people getting scared as they go through the haunted houses.
I can taste the cookies that are being baked in the shape of pumpkins and ghosts.
I can smell chocolate and peanut butter from the candy being given out as tricker treaters knock on the door.
Wow... the list goes on and on and on and on and on... well, you get the point I hope.

Scary Movie...
A movie that scares me is The Blair Witch Project. That movie scared me to death and yet all I could do was laugh through the entirety of the movie. I think that I used laughter as a coping device to get me through it. All these horrible things kept happening when a circle of rocks appeared on the ground. It seems silly, but actually it is based on a true story. Really a true story. I don't know where it actually took place, but I know it did. People died and were chopped up and yet all I could manage to do was laugh. Strange? Slightly. I agree.
It seems rather odd for me to think that things so bad could possibly come from just a circle of stones. Ohh... But they did. These people were brave enough to try and document the movement of the ghosts that were seen earlier in the year. They were tested and tried in so many different ways. They got lost and almost gave up on ever finding anything at all. Their belongings and the only equipment they had with them at the time was mysteriously stolen. All through the woods, they could hear voices and footsteps. No one ever knew where the footsteps were coming from. It was one of the scariest movies I had ever watched.

Ghosts...
After returning back down the street, I noticed some loud thumps about half way down. I got out of my car and noticed that I had not one, but two flat tires. I didn't have a cell phone and I didn't remember passing a pay phone on the way over here. I then went to open the door and noticed that I had locked my keys in my car. The night had just gotten worse. I then began to hear loud noises that resembled footsteps. There was a monster coming around the corner and I was sure he was going to get me. I hid under my car and the footsteps kept getting closer. The feet came into view and they were extremely large. The monster heard my breathing and he began to pull my legs. JUST like I'm pulling yours. Haha :]
Food!

Think awhile...
This quote to me means that if you are going through a situation in life that is hard or you are going to encounter a difficult situation, you should just take some time and sit down to think about the pros and cons of each choice you can choose. People usually make the wrong decisions and come back to regret things when they just jump into situations and make hasty decisions.
In the book we are reading now, Mama is deciding on what she is going to do with the insurance money from her husband's death. Many people in the family have various ideas of where the money should be put and what the money should buy. All in all, these people realize that the money is not theirs' but it is Mama's. Ultimately, the decision is left up to her. If anyone gets their feelings hurt or gets upset about anything, they will be taking this up with Mama. The money can't do everything that everyone wants it too.
This must be a hard choice for a woman that wants to please everyone. She cares about her children more than anything in the world. She wouldn't hurt them for anything. When the money comes though, somebodies dream will be crushed because she can't afford both. That must weigh on her mind as she sleeps at night. The quote stated above the remedy for such dilemma. Such take some time and sit down and think about it. Don't just into anything. You may wind up regretting it.

Fighting...
I think that's easier to fight with dignity than surrender in shame. If you have dignity, you don't feel as if you can just be ran over. It gives you something to fight for: yourself. If you give it all you have, then you know that you did your best and you don't have any regrets. If you surrender in shame then you have to live with that repuation and decision for the rest of your life. You are constantly reminded that you gave up the fight and didn't do anything about the other person. You reputation has a blemish and others now recognize you as a shameful person. Some even tend to shy away from people like that.
In the ancient times, it seems, it was more honorable to take your own life, than to die by the hand of the enemy. Therefore it is easier to fight with dignity than surrender with shame. The prize is not that you won, although winning is nice, it's that you didn't let yourself down and you did the best you could. In the end, that's all that really matters.

Money!
The lack of money impacts life significantly. If you grow up in poverty, your outlook on life is probably not that positive because your family didn't have enough money to get barely get by. People who lack money also seem to be very unhappy people for the most part. They look at others and become sickened because they can't have all the luxuries in life. If they work hard enough, then they will always make it through.
From the outside looking in, one might think that money makes the world go round. And for some that is true. I don't think it makes the world go round. Yea... it's nice to have and all when you want something or you have to pay a bill, but it's not all there is too life.
People constantly focus on the aspect of money and the little things in life that ohh so important just pass them by.

Printing Books...
I was so funny. I think the printing was cancelled in time, but to think that I printed a 2000 page book didn't seem good at all. It all worked out though. We still joke about it.

Laughter
I think that laughing is the best medicine for a bad day. No matter what you are mad about and how mad you are, there is always something that can make you laugh or smile in the day. 24 hours is a long time, I couldn't imagine not laughing or smiling once in that time period.
But... as I said before, I don't have that problem because I'm either smiling or laughing 97% of the time. I'm not saying that I don't get sad because I do. I just have learned to smile through the hard times and everything will either work itself out or get better. And if it doesn't, you still need to smile and laugh then too. Laughter is the universal sign of happiness. Well... to me anyway.

Loving what you love...
Have you ever did something that you didn't really want to do but did it anyway? If you are like me, you didn't have a very good attitude about it and it seemed like it took forever. If you want to have fun doing something, you have to make it fun. That is why you should do what you love and love what you do.
That is the number one reason why teachers tell their students to choose a career choice that interest them because no one wants to do something for the rest of their life that's boring. It would get old after a while to anyone I'm sure.
Do what you love and love what you do, leave an impact on the world, and don't pick your nose.
I think this is very good advice for anyone trying to be happy in life. :]
