Logan's and B-Ball

Listening To: Tell Me by Diddy Fet. Christina Ageulira - AWESOME SONG!!!!!!!
Feeling: Pretty good

Last night I was going make a post but Blogger said that it was down for maintenance, so I couldn't. But last night we did go to Logan's for dinner to celebrate my birthday, we were going to go on Saturday but I went with my friends to that movie. Logan's was fun and the food was really good, as always! I got the combo dinner that was steak and shrimp. The shrimp were on shishkabobs so there were only 8 and that's all I had cuz I don't like the vegetables. And the steak was really good too! :) I was going to get sung to by the employees too, but my mom get sick and we had to leave earlier and that didn't happen. So instead they gave me a free peanut butter sugar stuff, but it's not very good, it tastes funny. My mom apologized, but I said that it wasn't her fault and I completely understand.

Today at school I wore my new shoes that I got for my B-Day, they're really bright and I LOVE them! I got a lot of comments on them, some good and some bad, but I don't really care if they like them or not, cuz they're so cool!



Also, tonight is my first Basketball game and I'm so excited!!! We play at this H-U-G-E place that has 8 full basketball courts that can be used for volleyball and other sports too. And there is also another floor which has a seating area, and a big weight room that can be used for physical therapy too. The place is awesome! Our game is at 7:00 and I think our team is going to have a really good chance! Wish me luck!

A Happy Birthday and A Stupid Movie

Listening To: Tell Me by Diddy fet. Christina Aguelira
Feeling: Happy

Well the party last night went great! I got $55, a new rifle!, a SWEET pair of orange and yellow and green pair of shoes, Chronicles of Narnia DVD, a couple of gift cards, and a whiteboard calendar and dry erase markers. I love what I got and my mom made a awesome cake! I had tons of fun!

Right now I am at Zack's house and we just got back from seeing The prestige with my girlfriend, Kendra, and our friend Maddie. The movie was actually really stupid. I was SO disappointed cuz I was REALLY looking forward to seeing it. It was really confusing and all we got were stuff to ask questions until the end and it answered all the questions so I was practically lost throughout the whole movie. Plus, it skipped back and forth from present time and then the past. AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Happy Early Birthday To Me!

Listening To: Maneater by Nelly Furtado
Feeling: Anxious

Today is the day before my birthday, and we are having the party tonight cuz most of the family is gone tomorrow. Today at school I was sung to 4 times! It was cool. Once was when Lizzie sang really loud all by herself ALL the way down the hallway on our way to lunch! I was sung to twice at lunch: once my whole table sang, then Julia and Amy went in front of the whole lunch room and screamed, "It's Sam's birthday - everybody SING!!!" Then those two started singing and then like 6 other people went up there and started singing while most of the lunchroom was singing. Then at the end of Math class, Mr. Laughner had the class sing to me, too! Pretty cool huh? ;) So right now there is my b-day cake sitting on the counter, and it's covered, and my mom won't let me see it. Curiosity killed the cat...

This And That

Listening To: Fergalicious by Fergie
Feeling: EXCITED!!!!

So let's start off with Halloween: My costume ROCKED!


On Halloween a bunch of my friends and I went to a couple haunted houses, well really, they were more like mazes that were kinda scary. One was kinda lame and the only thing kinda scary was a guy dressed in all black jumped out from behind the house and flashed his flashlight at us. Well, maybe more than just kinda scary ;) The second one wasn't that much scarier. But one part was like a cemetery and what looked like a decoration that you could buy that looked like a skeleton, was really a little kid who jumped up at us when u got close. Yeah, I screamed. After that we went trunk-or-treating at a couple of churches. Trunk-or-treating is where people park at the parking lot and we walk by and they hand us candy. It was a more safer way of trick-or-treating, but my whole brief case (I used that to carry my candy around because my costume was a gorilla going to work) was full! After that we hit a couple party stores who handed out pop and candy bars. Then I left them with my family so we could go to my family's houses. First we went to my grandma and grandpa's, who gave me a full bag of small size Almond Joys! My favorites! Then we went to my Aunt Kathy and Uncle Bob's who gave me a King Sized Hershey bar, a big bow of starbursts, a king-size tootsie roll, and a pack of Bubble Yum. Then at my Aunt JoAnne's, I got the rest of her candy that she was gonna hand out. Finally, at my Aunt Janet and Uncle Bob's, I got a bunch of candy! Thanks family!

MEAP got over with and to celebrate it, my Middle School threw a party. All of our classes were cut like 15 minutes short and we had an hour and a half to have fun! There were many options of what you could do, like go to the dance, watch a movie, play games and arm wrestle, of go outside. I chose to go to that dance, and so did a lot of my friends. It was so much fun and I wish it could have been longer, like the rest of our dances. They only played two slow songs though, and the first one my girl friend was gone. The second one she was there though and we had fun.

Basketball has started and we will probably have our first game Monday. I love basketball and can't wait to play! I play center and sometimes forward. I don't know if I will be starting yet, but I think I have a really good chance though! We have practice every monday.

Saturday is my 12th birthday! But we;re celebrating it on Friday though. We're having a family party which will be a lot of fun, and on Saturday we're going to see The Prestige and go out to dinner. The Prestige looks so good, I cant wait to see it! And we'll be going to dinner to a place where they'll sing to me or something. I'll give y'all the details later. ;)

Saturday also starts the basketball camp at the high school which will be a blast. We have like 2 days of skills then we get put on to teams and play every Saturday. Lookin forward to it!

I think that's about it... I'm glad to be posting again!

NaBloPoMo

I'm going to do the NaBloPoMo and do a post each day of November. Check it out!

Today

Listening To: Be Yourself and Five Other Cliches by Supernova
Feeling: Good

Today at school I had a field trip to the Nature Center. We went to the wetlands for the second half of it and my feet got all wet :( When we got back we had like 15 minutes of school left and we watched a movie for that time. Pretty easy day, huh? Afterwards, my mom picked me up from school and what did she have in the car for me when I got in...? TACO BELL! YAY! Also, we had a parent teacher conference at my school this evening, and I got pretty good reports. Right now my dad is out hunting, and I'm looking forward to watching Survivor tonight.

By the way, I watched Lost last night... SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD! Gosh I love that show!

First Day Of School

Listening To: Chang Hang Low by Jibbs
Feelin': Stuffed Up

I finished the first week of school! It went really well. All my teachers are really cool. My second period is gym, and the teacher is one of the Varsity football coaches. So the warm-ups is like a mini football practice, and we played kickball this week. So far, I've had no homework, but I know that's gonna change... It's all pretty much what I expected it to be. But what really stinks is the lunch period. Last year, the kids would be able to go outside after they finished their lunch, all of them, toghether. Well, this year on Tuesdays, girls go out, and on Thursdays, boys go out. I really just don't understand that. One day to go out, and the boys and girls are seperated. The first school dance is this Thursday, and I'm really excited. It'll be really fun. Right now, I'm sniffleing every 2 seconds because of my allergies, stupid allergies! This sucks cuz i dont wanna be like this tomorrow for school. And especially not Thursday...

Recap

Listenin To: Call Me When You're Sober by Evanescense
Feelin': Good

So, ya, it's been a while. Here are some things that have been going on lately:

Football practice started a couple weeks ago, and has been going great. This year, they're starting me as Defensive Backer. A Backer plays on the line next to the end. I played o-line last year, and I am loving the change! Playing defense is so much fun, and I'm doing pretty good at it. My first game is this Sunday, we play AT Carollton, I was kinda wishin that we would have had our first game at home, oh well. We'll still kick butt!

School is starting this Tuesday, and yes, I am getting pretty excited. I'm starting Middle School this year, and am more ready for the change, rather than the actual work part. I got my schedule and am very happy with it. A lot of my friends are all kinda separated so that kinda stinks. But the one thing that I'm kinda worried about is the home work, cuz in Elementary School we NEVER got homework. It'll be a hard change...

The VMA's was on MTV last night, but I had to record it because the Varsity football game was last night. I watched it when I got home though, and it was pretty good. I was kinda disappointed in Justin Timberlake's performance,it wasn't like the original song, and I love SexyBack. Beyonce's performance was really cool though.

Well that's about it. I've just been hanging out with my friends, listening to music, and reading.

Shopping, Books, Rubber Bands, and Football

Listening To: I Constantly Thank God For Esteban by Panic! At The Disco
Feelin': Pain

For this new school year, I was in desperate need for new Jeans. So my sis and I went to the mall area and went clothes shopping. We went to Khol's first and I got 2 pairs of jeans and 2 shirts. I've been wanting faded and distressed jeans, which are the ones with the rips and stuff like that. One of the pairs I got was really distressed and the other pair had 2 small rips. Tony Hawk's line of clothing is pretty cool, so I got 2 of those shirts. We left there and went in the mall ad we first stopped at American Eagle. Stuff there is kinda expensive, and I had a limit to how much I could spend, so I just got a shirt and a pair of jeans. My sis got a few pairs of jeans and a few shirts. Aeropastale was next on our list and there I got 3 shirts. Joyce went to Maurice's and the Vanity, which are both just women's clothes so I didn't really find anything I liked there. I wanted to stop at Steve & Barry's, and there I got 4 of the shirts that button up the front, and 5 shirts that would go underneath, and I would roll up the sleeves and leave them unbuttoned, and I really like them! Our shopping trip was done I was happy with what I got.

A while ago I finished that series I told you all about. The best series I have ever read, without a doubt. The ending was great, and there is another series by the same author, called The Prophecy Series. It is about the 4 clans again but the story is based about a new cat. It has all the Kits and apprentices that were in the first series and is now mainly about them, a new generation. Barnes & Noble only had the first 2 and were in hardcover, and I want paperback. There are like 4 out I think so my mom will order the first 3 wich will all be in paper back. I can't wait until they get here!

Yesterday, I had an Orthodontics appointment, and I got new wires on my braces. But now, I have to have a small rubber band running from the back tooth and the bottom up to a tooth on the side on the top. When the girl who put the new wires on, she kinda yanked them after a little bit. OW! That's my mouth you're yanking on! So now my whole mouth is in pain and part of that is sleeping with the rubber band on. I have to change the rubber bands 4 times a day, and I am not exactly looking forward to that...

Tonight I have a football meeting and I get to pick up my pads and stuff. They will tell us about what is going on like when the practices are and stuff like that. I am really excited cuz next week we start practice!

I Love These Books!

Listening To: The Riddle by Five For Fighting
Feelin: Happy

When my family picked me up from SpringHill Summer Camps, back in June, my mom got me these 3 books and were the first 3 in the series. The title of the Series was
Warriors and the author was Erin Hunter. I started the first one a couple weeks after I got them and Monday, my mom got me the next 3 in the series cuz I finished the other ones. I have to say, this is my favorite series I have ever read. They are so good! They're about these 4 clans of cats that live in the wild and one clan takes in a kittypet (house cat) and they're about his life in the wild. I strongly reccomed them!
