Heehee. I love this song. N-e-ways, sorry I haven't been updating...it just seems like I already tell the people that look at my journal all about this stuff..so why should I type it? Eh, but whatever. Let's see...what's new? Well x-mas was a blast! I got all the stuff I wanted. I got one of the Linkin Park cd's! Hybrid Theory! My favorite song on there is crawling. Yep, awesome song. I got the Avril, Simple Plan, and Jojo cd's. Heehee, those are the cd's I wanted. Then I got some clothes and then...nemo stuffed animal! It's adorable! I sleep with it now, nice and cozy. Got charms for my charm bracelet and a ring that also came from James Avery. O ya...and a cover for my phone! I'll show my friends what it is...cuz it's just too awesome to type.  I can't member what esle I got..so I'll type more later. Yesterday I went to my uncle's (?) party. It was ok. I just standing out in the cold bcuz someone (my cousin) didn't open the lock in my car. Yeah the boys were acting really retarded. But oh well. I don't think I'm sick or anything but it was freezing outside. At the beginning of the party I didn't feel like hanging out with my cousins so I just got my cell phone and called Esme. I talked to her for a long while..telling her what's been going on since I had seen her. Then she hung up bcuz her dad told her to or something like that. My cousin's were playing uno. Dunno if any of you have played that before. I didn't want to play cuz the last time I had played that game was when i was eight years old. I didn't want to look dumb.

Hey..someone's knocking on the door! *goes and checks*

Hey, it was Esme! She just stopped by to say hi. Her dad, sis, and brother were in the car. I told her brother happy birthday bcuz it's his b-day today. Who-hoo! That was cool...

N-e-wayz I'm going to Margaret's house today. Yay!

Hmm...I guess that's it...for now. I'll inform you guys later...on what's going on the rest of the week...ya...ok.

Laterz.

I woke up early yesterday. I got on the computer and I was just bored. At 8:00 am Esme (my bestest friend in the whole widest world) called me! She asked me if I was going to be at home during the day. I said yes of course! I called my mom and she got mad and said that I was going to have to clean the house and put everything in order. So I, then, called Esme to see what time she was going to come. N-e-wayz I got the house clean and she came! ESME CAME TO MY HOUSE! lol Sorry...Esme doesn't live in the same city as I do. She moved a long time ago and I miss her sometimes. So yeah she came and her mom was here too. Since I was the only one in the house I didn't know how to entertain (?) them. An hour later my mom came home. Esme was still here at my house. When she came my mom and her mom started talking while I showed Esme some websites on ze computer. I opened my x-mas present and my b-day present from her! I got a froggy bath set! I got a little jewelry box..it's green and it's pretty! lol I got a froggy stuffed animal too. I didn't like froggy's...but now I do! lol After we opened our presents (I got her a pretty shirt with a chocker) she showed me her school on the net. Her teacher has it posted...it's pretty small but then again she does live in pueblo. It's funny cuz one of her friend's names is Julia Roberts. lol

We decided we would go out to eat. Which was a delight for me cuz I didn't have any breakfast. So we went to a resturant that is like two houses away from me. It's really good there they gots good tacos! lol We were talking about her bf...she's all in love with him. I'm happy for her.  After we ate we came on the computer and we were drawing pics! It was so awesome! O ya...I'll give you all the link so you all can see.

Here's Esme's drawing: http://artpad.art.com/?i91eju1m6nn0

Here's my drawing: http://artpad.art.com/gallery/?i91hra1grock

This is a drawing I did for Hanner: http://artpad.art.com/gallery/?i91g8tjro7s

That was so much fun! Yay!

She left...I was sad. My sis took me to the mall afterwards! She just bought something she had wanted for a long time. Eh, I don't know what they are called so that's why I'm not putting it on here but I hope she lets me wear it. After we went shopping we ate at the Cheesecake Factory! Mmmm. We shared a Chinese salad. Man, that was good.  

My family put up the x-mas tree last night! It's so prettyful!

Which leads me to the biggest news of today...well so far...

J.K. Rowling is done with the 6th HP book!

They don't have a date to when it comes out...but she's done! YEAHH! I'm still on the 5th HP book. I gots to finish that one! Well I think I'm gonna go read. I'll be back on later.

 YAY!!

FINALS ARE OVER! YEAH! Christmas break is here! FINALLY!

I thought this week was never gonna end. My week was fun, even though I still had to study for finals. I think I did good on all finals cept for Religion. Math was freaken easy! I was the first one that finished and I thought I was gonna be the last. My history teacher already told me my mid-term grade...97! YEAH!!!!! lol I got higher than the smartest girl in the class too. She was kinda embrassed to tell me she got an 89. My friend Ansya, who also studied a lot, got a 92. Good job Ansya! I'm so proud of myself. Who-hoo!

On Wednesday we got to see our angel buddies. They are so damn cute! We gave them their presents and they give us ours. We were supposed to only bring three books, which was provided by the school, as their presents. We were told not to bring anything esle cept a goody bag. So I stuffed lotsa toys in the goody bag. lol I got her a pony with long hair so she could brush, a Cinderella doll, and two Barbie candy canes. She loved them! I got a book and some candy from her. The book is about praising God...yeah.

Yesterday we had our x-mas parties! THAT WAS A BLAST! I'm so glad my sister went to help out at the party. The room mothers didn't arrive so it was just her and Alina's mom. You know what we had served at our party?! Basically nothing! We had a fruit cup, powerade, and three Oreos. lol It wasn't that bad cuz we were surprised at something esle...We had an anonymous bag of toys in our classroom. All during the day we were thinking about who the toys were gonna be for. At the party we found out...that the toys were gonna be for us! All the toys already had a name on them. The teacher was calling out our names and we would go get them. Some of my classmates didn't like what they got...my teacher took out a toy that said my name...it was a freaken football! lol. She said, "*laughs* There must be a mistake JoAnn" yeah of course there was!! So she let me trade for another game. Guess what I picked?! JENGA! Yeah I used to love that game when I was little. N-e-body wanna play? After the party we went to the GYM and played for a bit. Almost all the guys got balls of some kind. Justin got a basketball or something like that...Marcus got two dodge balls. Geez, that was funny cuz he just started hitting people with it. Oh yeah...at the party I was sitting with Ansya and we invited Marcus to come sit with us and he did! Craziness, I didn't think he would come. My sis was joking around him...so I got out my Jenga and some of my classmates and I played. Robby and Roberto kept ruining it! GRRR! Oh yea...Roberto you will NEVER get that cupcake from me.

I have a feeling that these two weeks are gonna be fun! As fun as I make them be...well laterz.

Mother to Son by Langston Hughes

Well, son, I'll tell you:

Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

It's had tacks in it,

And splinters,

And boards torn up,

And places with no carpet on the floor-

Bare.

But all the time.

I'se been a-climbin' on,

And reachin' landin's

And turnin' corners,

And sometimes goin' in the dark

Where there ain't been no light.

So boy, don't you turn back.

Don't set you down on the steps

'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.

Don't you fall now-

For I'se still going', honey,

I'se still climbin',

And life for me ain't been no crystal stair

Cool poem, huh? I like it lots! Sorry I haven't updated I sometimes forget I have a web journal. Theres been lots going on in my life during the time that I didn't update. I went to my christmas program cuz duh I had to be in it! That was cool. We were standing like statues, eh like a frozen play. Everyone was saying that it looked beautiful. My mom took lotsa pics so I can have lotsa memories about it. The day after that our angel buddies had their christmas program. This is the first year that my school lets the 8th graders be in the program with them. We were just townspeople showing our angel buddies where to go to. The program was so adorable! The dummer boy...lol. He was awesome! After the angel buddies formed the nativity set there was a special surprise! SANTA CLAUSE! lol He appeared in the gym and all the kids went crazy. My angel buddy was like, "JOANN! It's Santa Clause!" lol Heather's angel buddy was crying cuz he was scared of Santa. Then all the kids shook his hand and were standing up proudly as if they just touched God's hand or something. lol It was really cute and I'm so happy the 8th graders could be in the program this year. Yesterday, my church had it's Gran Posada. That's where Mary and Joesph go from door to door looking for a place to stay. That was actually pretty fun! I was an angel in my christmas program and in the posada. There was lotsa cameras there, I felt like a movie star.

This morning I finished my study guide for the History final! Yay! Now I'm just waiting for my sis to get home.

Bye bye.

I had a cool day. In the morning I felt like I couldn't get up. I slept late yesterday and I didn't get any sleep during the afternoon. Eh, oh well. So when I woke up I got all my stuff for my Matachines dance ready. For people that don't know what Matachines is, I shall explain myself. Matachines is a dance that happens every December 12th that is dedicated to La Virgen De Guadualupe. Instead of doing on December 12th our school did it early bcuz December 12th falls on a Sunday. So we celebrated the Immaculate Conception and La Virgen de Guadualupe on the same day! When we got in the church we had just found out that the mariachi was going to play the song for us. We kinda panicked bcuz we had practiced with the tape and didn't know if it was different with mariachi. Supposely it was the same with or without tape. It kinda was but it was much more faster so everyone was just staring at me and trying to figure out what to do. We got it togethor. Yay! My sister got to meet my angel buddy! I was so happy when they met. My angel buddy was really shy around her. My sis thought she was cute. Who-hoo!

Got home and my aunt were working on my costume for my angel buddy's christmas program. My baby cousin was here and I was really trying hard to study and he would distract me so that got annoying. I spent so many hours doing homework I think I deserve to be on the internet right now!

Tomorrow is my christmas program. If theres anyone that wants to come...it's at my school's gym @ 7:00 pm. Yeah!

I wish I could go to the band concert...eh, but it's my last year.

Spurs lost.

My sis just got home!

Where should I start? Ok, I woke up in the morning kinda sick but I didn't tell my mom cuz I really wanted to go to school today. When I got there everyone was pretty excited. We had HSPT practice for religion this morning. At 9:00 we had mass. My angel buddy was misbehaving bcuz Robert was provoking her! He kept playing with her hair and was annoying me too. My angel buddy was really sick and was coughing a lot on me. I didn't think it would matter cuz I'm already sick. After mass we went up to our classrooms and went to our next period which was math. We didn't do anything in math! Our math teacher bought her parents to see the school so they talked to us for a while. Then the bell rang and we were informed that the buses were here! We all got excited. I got to sit next to my friend Anysa on the bus which was cool. When we got to the movie theater we ate our lunches on the bus. We then got out of our buses (2nd- 8th grade) to go see 'The Polar Express'! Man, that movie was just so awesome! I wanna see it again! lol We got back to school at 2:15 pm. The 8th grade class thought they were saved from the science test they were going to have, but we weren't! We still had the test and I don't think I did good bcuz I didn't know the material. Eh, heh, bleh. lol

After school I told George and Chris I would meet them at band. I then saw that my aunt was here for me and told Nikki to come with us. Nikki's mom had called us the day before to tell us that she was needed a ride. So we get in the car and then my aunt starts yelling at me! Out of no where!...it was very embrassing. She got mad cuz someone called her from my cell phone and didn't answer the phone and were just pressing numbers. Other people were using my phone. Why would I do that to her? I told her it wasn't me! She still believed that I had done something with the phone and I was just trying to play around with her. MAN...I'm still kinda not over that.

When we got home I got REALLY sick. My throat hurt a lot. My aunt (still upset at me) took me to the doctor. The doctor told me that I have a throat infection.

My sis had a hoilday party at her store. It was fun! A gurl that works for my sis there was playing her guitar. She was playing 'Running Away' by Hoobastank which was played really good. Makes me really want to play guitar. Yeah. My cuz, aunt, and other aunt went too. I wanted some of my friends to come but they couldn't make it. It's all good.

Quote from the movie: "What in the name of Mike is going on here?!"

Owie, throat hurts.

Eh, I know it's only been a few days since my last update. Yesterday I didn't go to school. I woke up really sick from my sore throat and runny nose. So instead of aruging with my mom on how missing a day means a lot schoolwise bcuz of my missing assignments and all that...I just stayed asleep. That night I finished up my 'La Virgen De Guadalupe' project. Which I thought came out great! In Ms. Hart's eyes...she had to insult me by being racist. Eh, don't wanna explain myself. I kinda felt sick during the day but I still did my work. The consequence of being absent of course is having a lot of missing assignments. So today I had to do yesterday's and  todays homework. So that kinda sucked. I had matachines today as I do every monday, wednesday, and friday (until December 12). The kids are so cute and ask me numerous questions about the dance and how we should do it. Even though they ask me the same questions everyday, I still think it's adorable. We had computer's today. This man was showing us how to download software on the computer once it's put up. On Monday the guy actually put togethor a computer for us! That was cool! I stil haven't finished my science homework but I think I'll get to do it tomorrow morning. Theres a Spurs game on right now so I should be watching that. I'll write about my day tomorrow cuz that's gonna be a bundle of fun! lol

Laterz.

Yesterday was awesome! We did get to see Harry Potter but we didn't get to see all of it. I hope we get to see the rest of it today. N-e-wayz we went shopping yesterday. I got my shoes for next year already! They are black and white! Gosh I love them so much! Can't wait to get there already! After that we went to Wal-Mart to buy apple juice for my sister's store. Supposely they didn't have the same brand so she couldn't buy it. Her friend called her up and asked her if I wanted to hang out with them at the mall. I was like, "HELLZ YA!". lol So my sis had to work and her friend just went by Starbucks and walked me around. We went to Hot Topic...I LOVE THAT STORE!! Why do I love it? It has lotsa Harry Potter stuff! Gosh I went so crazy. I bought three buttons let me tell ya what they had on them: Ravenclaw (one of the houses at Hogwarts), Hufflepuff (another house of Hogwarts), and (my favorite!) an I love nerds button!! lol After that I bought a keychain that had Malfoy's pic and on the other side it had the words 'slytherin'. Oooo, sexy! jk, lol

After that we went to another store. Eh, it was kinda nasty but oh well...they had lotsa happy bunny stuff there. When we left the store we went to go eat a pretzel with glaze on it. Mmmm. We went to another store that had video games and Joey was playing some 'shoot the duck' game. T'was funny. I kept telling him he was evil cuz he kept shooting the ducks. lol We went to Elisa's house after that and  her dad was there. Her dad is soooo funny! He always calls me Nano Nano or pizza pizza. lol Afterwards, Elisa wanted me to meet one of her friends that was my age. Supposely she didn't have any friends. So we picked her up and we went to go get some ice cream. She was okay. We couldn't listen to any R&B though cuz she doesn't like stuff like that. She goes to a Christian school and is really strong about her faith. So ya, it was kinda strange. Other than that we all had a good time. I kept 'burning' Joey...he was making jokes about me and I kept reversing them. Heehee. Fun times. We went to go drop that girl off and then they came to drop me off at home. My sister arrived a few mins after me so it wasn't that bad.

O ya my mom returned from her trip. She said it was sad. I bet it was. 

Today I'm gonna do my project that I needa do for school. I don't think it's hard. I actually think it's gonna be fun doing it.

I'll write, or type, more later.

Yesterdays Spurs game rocked so much! Yes, they won! I was so happy and joyful. Manu did good he's awesome...Parker's better! jk Well Parker would do a lot but now he passes the ball to much. I love the Tim Duncan commercials, they are hilarious. During half time I came and chatted on the net for a bit. My sis came home after a while. She had gone to the river parade she said it was fun. Wish I could have gone jk

A few days ago my aunt's best friend's son died. His name was Mike and he was really friendly. It's so sad that he died cuz I liked him. He was cool. It just must be very sad for the mother bcuz not only that is happening to her. She is losing her husband too. He's slowly dying too. It's just so crazy! I feel so bad for her! So my mom went to go visit her out of town. She left with some of her friends last night. The funny thing is that she took my cellphone instead of hers. So yeah, she has my cell. I hope no body calls me...lol. So my sis is gonna go to work at 2:00 pm. After that at 6:00 pm my mom is coming back. I guess I'll watch a movie during that time or something. I wanna watch Harry Potter with my sis, we started watching it two days ago but we didn't get to finish it.

I'm hungry! <<

My cousin Crystal is 12 yrs old but sometimes she looks way much older. She's had over ten boyfriends which isn't good if you think about it. She just called me and told me that she is with an eighteen year old guy! Isn't that just insane? It's okay for a guy to be two or three years older than you but six years older? If my aunt knew...she'd kill her I know that as a fact. Just craziness!

No more turkey! lol I'm full of turkey and cranberries! My mom still offering me more! lol Nevermind she just offered me a tangerine...mmm...who can refuse a tangerine? lol

After we eat some turkey we all sat down and saw the Truman Show. Have any of you seen that movie? It's funny but so sad at the end. I love that movie! It makes me think of I'm actually living a real life or if it's a movie. Weirdness.

Yesterday this guy named Justin instant messaged me and wanted to know more about my best friend Hannah. Turns out they did know each other but he has a hard time remembering who she is. Good luck with that Justin! lol

I dunno what esle I'm gonna do today. I'm probably gonna watch some more movies when my sister wakes up.

Take a quiz I made...it's fun!!

Just came back from the doctor. He told me that it was the flu. Yes guys, I'm sick with the flu. While we were there he gave me some medicine. *sarcastic voice* My aunt gave him a friendly reminder about me not having my flu shot. So the doctor kindly stuck a needle to my arm...I guess it didn't hurt that much it's just I was already feeling weak. Luckily I was the first one to be taken in to the doctor's office. So it only took an hour's worth waiting. I wanted to work on my science project today but I'm to sick to go to the lab.

After we left the doctors and got the medicine my aunt Tere and my baby cousin Osbaldo came. Yet again, the annoyance of him. I'm not trying to be mean but it's just he's a kid...eh. So he's here making lotsa noise. I don't want to be stuck here not doing anything...so I guess I should watch TV or something. Maybe my sis wants to see a movie!...nevermind she has school today. Sadness. Now my cousin is crying cuz he says I hit him. I barely touched him...

That's it.

Updated my site...I know I FINALLY updated it. Go to view website and it will take you there.

Yesterday I woke up really sick, I have a sore throat and I think I have the flu. My aunt and sister were telling me to stay home but me being the nerd that I am wanted to go to school. I felt really weak during the morning. In religion we had practice for the HSPT. I got a little bit higher than average so that's good. In math our teacher wasn't there so we had a Sr. there. She didn't explain anything but I think I got a hundred on my test.  In history we were just checking papers. Sr. Rose got mad at us bcuz we were talking and not paying attention to her. Eh, we still didn't care we kept talking.  In reading we had to cut some letters out because we're doing a poem with our name. It's gonna look cool if we actually work on it next week. In English we had to do work, it was easy. After that we went to lunch but I wasn't feeling good so I really wasn't talking to a lot of people. George came and asked what was wrong and I, of course, told him. He's a pretty cool guy. I actually, sometimes, think of him as a best friend. After lunch we went to computers. We were there for a little while until there was an announcement saying we should I go back to our homeroom. So we didn't have any afternoon electives which was good but boring at the same time. We stayed in our homerooms talking for two hours and also watching the news. After school we (my mom and I) gave Nikki a ride home. We came home and I just fell asleep cuz I just felt weak.  Came online and I actually felt better talking to people on the net but felt bad later cuz of what I was watching on TV. I was watching the Spurs game and they lost. *tear* It's okay...cuz they play tomorrow! They are gonna win this one! I KNOW IT!

Today, I have to go to the doctors. I hate going to the doctors cuz you have to wait until he sees you. I just get frustrated when im sick and have to wait. Dunno...

Eh, I guess I'll write more later and tell ya about how it went at the doctor. Hmm, laterz.

This is a poem I made up on Saturday while I was at the lab..

Sitting Here All Alone by Nani

Sitting here all alone

playing with my phone

Trying to do my math

without understanding it

Thinking about my science project

Wondering if I'm going to get a prize

Singing a Linkin Park song

You know the one that's long

Eh, I don't even know what I'm saying

I feel like I'm decaying

Should I go to sleep?

I can't I'm at the university

Writing with my St. A's pencil

Thinking about people that go there

Well just thinking about one, is that fare?

Eh, maybe he doesn't care

Wait he probably does...

My eyes are slowly closing

while I'm here dozing off

*cough cough*

Waking up from my ONE minute sleep

Didn't even make a peep

Looking around for people

Guess it doesn't really matter cuz

I'm sitting here all alone

playing with my phone.

As you can tell, I was really bored...

What's up with the Pistons?! Did you all hear what happened?! It's so crazy!

Spurs lost today....craziness too! It's k cuz Parker did good.

Busy day tomorrow...might not be able to update...laterz.

The science project is coming along so great! I'm not working with that girl Erica anymore. It seemed that she was rather happy that I'm not working with her. So...blah! I, now, find science (chemisty, biology, algebra, etc.) very interesting.Today I have lotsa work to do and instead of being lazy on Saturday I'm actually doing something! I might even get to go out to the movies today. Oh ya for people that might think a boy is in this, there is no boy in this whole movie process. < Heehee, proud of it!

Boyfriends...don't have one.  I guess it really isn't a big deal...just looking at my sister's best friends. They are really in love, but put school first and then cuddling later. I guess I will never know how that feels until I meet or get with (?) that 'special' guy. I just want someone that I have lots in common and I just feel good to tell him everything. Is there really a guy out there that will relate to me? Hmmm...

...enuff about that...on Sunday I went to go see a play...Dracula! It was 2 hours long but I enjoyed it. Fun stuff. Thxgiving is coming up! I'll write more tomorrow, or whenever I have time on that topic.

Yesh, the Spurs won both games this weekend! It's not a surprise that they beat Shaq I mean he's all full of himself but he can't play! jk lol Yesterday I went to the mall with my sis and spent some of my birthday money. Bought lotsa stuff from Bath and Body Works (Thanx Hannah for ur gift card!) which smelled really good. Bought a shirt which I didn't like later so I'm going to exchange for another. I bought a CD! YEAH! I bought Now 17 because it had lotsa music that I liked. When I went to the mall I saw that girl Kat from St. A's, I see her everywhere, it's weird. My sis bought herself a new phone! A CAMERA PHONE! How fare is that?! I used to be the one with the best phone. Now she beats me?! Craziness! I'm in love with her phone cuz she has all these cool ring tones. Today I'm gonna go see some play...dunno what it's gonna be about. My sis has tickets so my mom, sis, and I are going. Hope it's an interesting play. I also wanted to upload this picture I got from the internet, I think it's so cute!

heehee, isn't it cute?

I forgot something very important.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!

I really studied yesterday for my Religion, American History, and Science tests. I think I did good on all three of them! Today I saw my angel buddy, since we go to mass every Thursday, I see her once a week. She looked so beautiful with her pink sweater that had Cinderella on it. She kept taking it on and off so it kinda got annoying. I saw next to Anysa and her angel buddy. Her angel buddy is really beautiful too. It was really fun at church. We played 'vocab swap' in English. Vocab swap is just a fun game that helps us study for our vocab test. After that fun game we got in trouble. On Wednesday, we gave trouble to our computer teacher, so she told our teacher what had happened. We, of course, got in trouble so now we have to write definitions our of our vocab book for 5 days! Atleast we don't have to do it during the weekend...I hope they count the weekend as two days! lol

Hmm, science project. It's driving me a little nuts. You see me and this gurl named Erica were planning to work on one togethor. But the prob is...we don't have a lot in common. I know that doesn't have anything to do with the project, but I feel like I can't talk to her or can't talk around her. It's just weird. Plus, I really want to see if I make it to regionals. You can't make it if your in a group! I dunno, I wanted to ask the Science teacher if it was still okay if I worked alone. Cuz I can see that Erica and I would get nothing done togethor. Dunno...just confused.

I had band today! My band director is da bomb! lol Eh, Chirs gave me one of his school pics today. He looks cool! It's so funny cuz he doesn't even look like himself. As for George, he said he would give me one tomorrow. As for Jamie...wait...I don't really even know the guy!  

That's all that happened today, laterz.

Today was ok. In the morning my teacher was going over the HSPT questions. We all know that those are not the exact questions that will be on the test but it's great that we are getting there. Heather bought the 2005 edition of the HSPT workbook! The problem is that theres only one book so we can't really use it that much. Math was actually fun! We watched a video about acorns! lol In History, we checked some papers and took 2 quizzes! The first quiz was hard because I didn't study that section but I studied for the second one. Reading was really fun! We've been doing poems for two weeks now. Today we had to write a poem that expresses feelings. Yeah, I know all of them do...anyway, it's really fun! In English, we talked about our science project reseach paper. Yep, gonna be working on that for a while!

I found out that Adam quit band!  We need more people to join! O ya! Since I haven't been at band for a while because of volleyball, I found out that theres a new student a band! His name is Jamie! He's pretty cool, he's in 8th grade, and all he talks about is games. lol

Now im on the net listening to music. Hmm, I guess that's it.

On Friday I got out early because my school had a pep rally. The reason we did was because of some walk that my school is doing. Heh, it's not like I went anyway. My friend Margaret took me home. In the afternoon my baby cousin came to my house. He was being annoying (what's new?) lol. I really wanted to go to a open house for a high school I've been considering. Hannah I'm sorry I didn't go! My baby cousin was here and I couldn't! On Saturday I had a PRACTICE High School Placement test. Ya I thought I did okay. I met two new friends! It was really cool and I really wanna go to that school now. There was this girl that is friends with my friend, she was so messed up. Eh, it's going to be high school I don't need to talk to everybody. I'm really excited to go to high school! Later on that day I had a birthday party! It was really awesome! In the beginning the first one that was there was April and her sister. I tried different kinds of pizza and some tasted nasty. After a while my other best freind Hannah came with her two sisters and her mom. They are so cool! Mattie (Hannah's 6 yr old sister) is so adorable I just wanted to take her home! Then my sister's friend Susan came with her boyfriend. We were all having fun! Then Sabrina (a friend from school) came with her baby sis and mom. I didn't think she would come though but I'm so glad she came. After we were all done eating we went to go play some games. I played DDR but...it was like DDR 2 or something. The middle position was a position that you actually had to use (did that make sense?). It was really hard! I got to play air hockey with Sabrina and I won! Hellz ya! lol We also went on the bumper cars! Now that was so cool! My sister then called me and said that the cake was ready. My cake looked so wonderful, it had hello kitty stuff and said 'Happy Birthday JoAnn'. The cake was so yummy! I couldn't believe the people that just left it there! GAH! lol I opened my presents when I finished my cake. K, now I shall tell you what I got!

Yessi (my sis): A volleyball and cellphone charm! Then a BEAUTIFUL sweater!

Susan (sister's friend): A bouquet of flowers charm!

Hannah (my best friend): A $15 gift certificate from Bath and Body Works!

Katy and Mattie (Hannah's sisters): A cute little bear with some bracelets!

Sabrina (friend from school): A hello kitty doll! A hair brush and lotion! Oh yea, I also got some sticky stuff so I can put on my locker and stuff. Eh, you might not know what I'm talking about. The sticky stuff say 'I love boys!' lol

April (my other best friend): A jewelry box!

Each came with a card...

Well that concudes my whole weekend. I dunno what I'm gonna do today...

That's all I gotta say! Laterz

Today was the end of the elections. It's so crazy that Bush won! I seriously wanted Kerry to win! I was so sad because I knew my friend Anysa was gonna rub it in my face. What did she do? She of course rubbed it in my face. It stinks! I wish I was old enough to vote! I would have voted for Kerry. Eh, I guess I will just have to get used to Bush again.

Anyway, yesterday I went back to band! It was so cool to see my friends again (even though I see them at school everyday!) lol. I missed being in band with them though. Everything was back to normal when I went back. My band director wasn't mad at me at all! He was REALLY happy to see me! T'was cool. Oh yeah, Chris and George are so mean to Adam! If your reading this (Chris and George) you better stop being mean to him! Gosh it was so messed up at band...they were making fun of this boy that's in 6th grade! He's so nice...they are so mean. It's not like I like him or anything it's just I don't think it's fare that he gets made fun of at school and at band. I think he should feel more comfortable at band. Anyway, my friends were also happy to see me again.

Hannah, no I'm not making a new website. I got frustrated trying to make a new one so I decided to just stay with this one. Sorry...but it's better this way! I love it this way!

*Birthday News!* I haven't gotten any presents yet! I'm still waiting for Sat. Hopefully something will be happening on that day...I'm not to sure though. My aunts made me two cakes! Yep, yummyness! lol
