Nut Butter? What?

It seriously exists..along with injectable butter..The weird things you find in California...Anyway..

So today me and Marina went dress shopping for our winter formal. Went to Macy's cause they have really awesome dresses. Even if most of them are ridiculously expensive. Not as easy as we hoped cause the dress section of the store looked like a factory in Taiwan exploded. Either that or it was the aftermath of Black Friday. We were lucky to even find anything in all that clutter. I found some really nice dresses that fit well. Out of all of them I picked this really cute black one. Dude, my hair looks really ridiculous..Hahahaha..But it's less frizzy than usual. I think I should straighten my hair more often.

Starting school again tomorrow. Man this vacation was long. Well, less than 3 weeks it'll be Christmas vacation. Don't think we'll be doing much until then. See ya!

XOXO,

HUG ME BROTHER!

Thanksgiving was really good. We had about thirty friends and family come over. Lots of food too. Turkey, ham, stuffing, pie galore, the works. Gotta love Thanksgiving. It's one of the many reasons I don't go anorexic. Food's just too good. That and if I don't eat my stomach's yelling at me which gets annoying and it kinda hurts. Hahaha. I also had my adult friend Sharon teach me how to knit and now I'm hoping to make a beret. So excited!

I am one of the sane Americans that stayed home during the Black Friday madness. I don't really understand it. Stores only sell limited amounts of items. You have to be there at like 3 in the morning which in a teenager's point of view I'm asleep. That and there are people that get KILLED during that. I like to go shopping, get what I came for, and get back home alive. Not be stuck in a war zone. Just from my perspective as a fourteen year old girl.

So I'm spending the rest of the day in my house watching T.V and knitting. Possibly drawing and reading. Oh, and my mom straightened my hair. Hahaha.

XOXO,

They only took the rolls!

My past weekend was pretty good. I went to Yosemite with my family that weekend. We didn't get there until about 6 p.m. We got a heated tent which was really nice. First night we got some pizza and saw some fluffy raccoons digging through the trash which was pretty funny. Some employees had to chase them off though. Didn't get any sleep that night cause it rained and, believe it or not, snowed.

Pretty nice waking up at six in the morning with snow on the ground. We spent that Saturday just going around Yosemite taking pictures. And a lot of them. I'm so glad we went when someone cancelled their trip cause I would never had known how beautiful Yosemite is with the snow. We even saw some waterfalls too.

That night was a bit crazy. We heard a bear getting into someone's bear-proof locker. Apparently someone didn't lock it properly and the bear rummaged through their food until they found some rolls and took them. Yep, of all things, they took the rolls!

So by the end of Saturday most of the snow melted. Come Sunday, there's a fresh foot of snow! Nothing like a nice hot cup of fresh hot chocolate to start that day. And when I say fresh, I mean fresh! I asked for a large one they had to make more and it was piping hot. Wasn't exactly a good day for my bladder though...Oh well it was worth it. And might I say, only in California can you see snow, rain, a double rainbow, hail, and clear weather in one day. Yeah, that happened on the ride home.

Very short week of school. Only went on Monday and Tuesday. Not much new going on. Just two normal school days with rain. It's not really fun to be on an outside campus when it's cold and raining. It's only good when there's a rainbow in the middle of the day. Hahaha..

So it's now the five day weekend. Wednesday's gonna be any normal day except me and Marina are staying home. We have our step-dad's mom and one of his friends staying with us for Thanksgiving. And come Thanksgiving there will be a fasting period because there's gonna be a lot of people and a lot of food. Won't be doing the Black Friday stupidity cause I actually like to shop and live to get home and live my life as a fourteen year old. Hahaha

XOXO,
Liz

Secret Tunnel!

If you don't get the reference in the title watch the 22nd episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

This week's been going pretty good. Just really any normal school week. On Anime club day, Marina came in and taught everyone a little bit of Japanese which was pretty cool. And..yeah nothing else super eventful other than of course the first part of the seventh Harry Potter movie coming out at midnight. I won't be seeing the premiere though cause I do have a bedtime and school. Plus I can't watch a movie at midnight cause I'll probably fall asleep. It's happened to me when I went to drive-in theaters. Always pass out in the middle of a movie. I'll probably see it when my friend gets ungrounded and we can see it together so that'll be fun.

I won't be on for the weekend cause I'm going to the wonderful place known as Yeosimite for weekend camping. And I get to leave in the middle of a school day too. No biology and geometry for me! This is gonna be an awesome weekend..if the bears don't eat us first..Hahahaha..Just kidding. No bears will be eating us. So bye bye for now!

XOXO,
Liz

Believe it or not

This weekend's been a little crazy. Let's start on Friday night.

So my family and I went out bowling and we were done with two games so we were gonna go home. That was until we see this guy staggering out of a bar. And it's pretty obvious that he's drunk when he falls over and gets back up. We make a tremendous U-turn when we saw the guy walk into his truck and call 911. So as we're giving descriptions and stuff the guy decides to pull out of the parking lot and take off into the night. The good people we are, we get out the GPS and start following the guy. We get to God knows where California and this guy had only almost swerved off the road. He didn't go into oncoming traffic which was a nice blessing. Police arrived making the guy pull over. We left for a bit but we made a U-turn to see if justice was served. We passed by and saw a police car and the guy's truck, but he was gone. So we celebrated with some Taco Bell.

Saturday we went to San Francisco. We went to a place called La Taqueria. Oh my God, best tacos in existence. I died and went to taco heaven that day. I would've had a second taco, but Anida's (A.K.A best Italian bakery in California) was next store and I really wanted some cake. We moseyed to the piers and walked around Pier 39. It was really nice out there and I saw sea lions, awesome photography, a guy doing the Hokey Pokey while trying to escape from being tied to a chair, and Hetalia cosplayers. I'm serious about the cosplayers too. I was so happy seeing them.

Today was a typical Sunday. Sit around, watching Sunday football. Still watching Sunday football. Hahaha..

XOXO,

POCKY!

Happy belated Pocky day everyone! In case you don't know, yesterday was the celebration of the most wonderful creation the Japanese has made, since anime! Okay, random moment over..

This was a really good week. We had school off on Thursday for Veteran's day. What did I do? Hmm..Make some Tye-dye T-shirts, sleep, eat Panda Express..not much really. Just a typical day off from school. Though I don't know why we had Thursday off and had to go today and now it's the weekend. I think it would've made more sense to give us a four day weekend. So today kinda felt like a Monday and now it feels like it's really Friday.

Today, my friend Natasha brought Pocky for a fiesta in Spanish class. 200 sticks. First 10 minutes, gone! It's good stuff I'll tell ya. Did not make a happy Jamie when I told her that All I saved was the container for the Pocky with nothing in it.
Second meeting of Red Moon Cosplay today. We talked a little about skit ideas and such. Quite a productive meeting I must say. Don't think anything is really happening this weekend so I'm gonna sign off with the usual.

XOXO,
Liz

Back up. Put the gun down.

And give me a pack of Fruit Bubbilicous. And some Skittles.

I have no idea what that's from. I just thought of that as a random title..Hahaha.

Ugh..I hate Daylight Savings Time so much. I have no idea what the point of it is but whoever came up with it should have been shot in the left foot. Why the left foot? I have no idea. I just randomly chose a foot and it was the left one.

So thanks to Daylight Savings Time, my mind's messed up. And I hate that less than two hours after me and my sister get home it's pitch black outside. Back in Indiana, because school's indoor and the windows are shut most of the time we get lucky to see sunlight at all unlike here where it's sunlight and clouds all the time. Still can't believe it's November. It rains every now and then, but mostly on the weekends. Can't wait to see the green hills. It's gonna look awesome!

For this week, not much going on in school. Anime club tomorrow and I hope to talk to the president about getting Marina to teach us Japanese because that'd be really cool. Thursday, we get that day off for Veteran's day but that day is also Pocky Day so..Hahaha. Friday's gonna be weird cause we had a day off in the middle of the week and going back for one more day. Oh well..Wish it was the weekend already.

XOXO,
Liz

Tik Tok

I'm a bit addicted to that song..Hahahaha

This has been a pretty good week. We did some discussion in anime club about fundraising to do cool stuff like going to Fanime and what not. Apparently we're limited due to the fact we can't do things like bake sales in school for some weird reason...Yeah I dunno. But we hope to be able to do more cool stuff.

I'm so glad politics are done and over with for the year. Politicians are crazy everywhere, but California has the craziest. Running for governor we had Jerry Brown against Meg Whitman. Hmm..A guy with political experience or a woman who became the president of eBay but has no political experience? Yeah, Jerry Brown won. Not only that but there are a ton of propositions for things like gay marriage, abortion, legal marijuana, you get the idea. I'm pretty sure most of that got turned down..I'm not really sure. I never have the attention span for politics.

Today was the first meeting of Red Moon Cosplay. Not much happened but rules and paperwork. I hope we get to do some cool stuff. And..that's about what has happened in my week. See you soon!

XOXO,
Liz

Giants!!!

Just finished seeing the Giants win the World Series and it was a good moment! Now my family can go back to watching football...Hahahaha

Halloween yesterday was really good. Of course I went trick or treating with Jamie and Akane which was really fun. Got a nice load of candy which I ate quite a few candy bars and such. Saving some candy of course so I don't get a cavity or a sugar hangover for that matter.

Nothing much happened today for a Monday. Tomorrow's anime club meeting and we really hope to get the president to start fundraising. Especially for Pocky Day!!

XOXO,
Liz
