I wrote this post on November 26 but couldn’t publish it.
Also, this is like a combination of two posts.
It’s been a year since the day I first created this blog. I feel like it has been longer; I’ve changed so much since then, mostly because of this blog- and WordPress in general.
I believe that the oldest remaining comment on this site should be posted here. The comment was written by Pengbro2.
Hello Kelli!! I am soo happy to hear about what you are like in the real world. I have always wanted to know what it was like for you when you are NOT on Club Penguin, and finally I know! I like to randomly write fantasy stories too, and I love creating fun words. Here is one: Hergenshmergen(HER-gen-SHMER-gen), which is the name a person from the Hergensheerg tribe. They usually live isolated up in the canopies of trees, where they can hunt for small things like insects, and any fruit as well.
I have asked this on the ‘about’ page aswell, but can I please be an author to your site? My username on Club Penguin is Pengbro2, I am your friend, and I am your ‘Elf Friend’ on Club Penguin. When both of us are on, we usually play as elves in the forest, where you train me to become a full elven-wizard, and you look up spells to teach. If this isn’t proof enough, than I can understand why I can’t be an author, just I am soo anxious!!
Maybe we can see eachother on Mammoth today? Just an idea. Bye Kelli!!
Another comment deserves to be posted here; it was written by Mateobeccar.
That one comment… if I hadn’t clicked on that link… where would I be now? I’m not sure, but things would be incredibly different.
Look through the archives of the past twelve months. Look back at the way things were; compare them to how things are now. Especially from November ‘08 to April ‘09.
Hello everyone. Today I drew Stewie Griffin (the evil baby from Family Guy) on Microsoft Paint. This is my first time, so it’s not the best. I followed a video I found on YouTube, but as I drew the picture, I looked at a picture I found on another web site.
My mom has been acting extremely ridiculous lately. A few of the aggravating things she has done:
Deleted two pictures I spent a lot of time drawing on Paint and claimed, “I thought you said it was okay and I was trying to save space.” How moronic does she think I am?
Started some crap about “smaller portions,” presumably because my little sister is fat. My mom thinks the “serving size” on packages of alfredo sauce, pasta, etc. is how much you should actually eat, despite how much I tell her it isn’t. I don’t understand why she’s doing this to me; I might actually be a bit underweight.
Someone stole the remainder of my Halloween candy, so my mom (who probably stole it) replaced it. And then she ate it.
Seriously, what is her problem?! She’s so annoying and never shuts up or leaves me alone when I need her to, and when I do need her, she says she’s busy!
I remember being in a car and asking my mom, “Do you know the U2 song All I Want is You?”
“Yes,” she replied.
So I told her that there was another song in it, called October. I also remember singing “…And all I want is you…” with my little sister. Additionally, I remember listening to my iPod in a place that appeared to be a combination of the feild at Camp Connect and my aunt’s backyard, and at another point, a pool.
Here are both songs:
And at one point, I heard the songs Holiday by Green Day and The Electric Co. by U2. The fact that the song Holiday was in my dream is strange; I don’t particularly care for the song and it is not on my iPod. (By the way, I just read that the song The Electric Co. is about electric shock therapy. I’m not sure why I’m saying this; I just found it interesting.)
Three songs in one dream! That’s a new record for me!
So, I think I’ve covered the music involved. Now to the school part…
I remember being on the bus, and what happened is hard to explain. While I was at school, I was in my classroom doing a math paper, and noticed that one of the problems referred to Family Guy. When I realized that, I looked at the paper and said, “Oh my God.” The dream had a few other references to Family Guy, but I can’t remember them all.
Anime was also mentioned; my babysitter was discussing it with my brother (they are both into anime).
I’m not exactly sure when this happened, but I found a container of cookie dough ice cream at my house in the dream. I pretty much dived into it and ate nearly all of it. And this morning, in real life, my mom bought cookie dough ice cream!
I haven’t posted this yet because I haven’t really wanted to. I’m not as big an Avril Lavigne fan as I was a few months ago; I prefer U2 now. Starting next month, I might start posting U2 songs.
Anyway, this song is from Let Go and was released as a single in late 2002.
I wrote this post yesterday, but couldn’t publish it.
Hi everyone. Yesterday, I went to F.Y.E. (or, as I like to call it, Fye) while I was out with my dad. There was a mini anime-convention thing (The place has EVERYTHING!), and my brother wanted to go to it dressed up as Light Yagami, the main character of the anime Death Note.
The day before, I’d gotten a haircut, so my mom gave me $20 to spend at Fye. And when I walked in to the store, I saw as huge sign with wonderful news:
There was a sale on all CDs for $10 or less!
I was shocked and elated as I walked towards the many U2 CDs. I sifted through them all- All That You Can’t Leave Behind, Boy, War, Achtung Baby, The Joshua Tree, The Unforgettable Fire, No Line on the Horizon, etc. Soon, I found the one I knew I really wanted- How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb! The only copy I could find was used, so it cost a mere $5.
My little sister told me about some thing that can be used to sample the CDs, DVDs, and so on by scanning them. At the time, I had a stack of CDs in my hand. Here are a few:
Rattle and Hum
The Joshua Tree
All That You Can’t Leave Behind
Dookie (this is a Green Day album.)
I had trouble scanning the CDs, so my dad helped me. I spent about eight minutes or so sampling them all, and yet, I still wasn’t sure what to buy. I put Dookie back on the shelf, which was right in front of me.
Eventually, I found another U2 album, October. Long story short, I ended up buying it, along with How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. And unsurprisingly, I love both.
On Wednesday, my grandfather came to visit my family for is eighty-sixth birthday. My mom couldn’t find the 8 candle, so she used the 3 instead. Even though I don’t think so-called “epic fail”s are funny, I could see clearly that this is an epic fail, and I found it somewhat funny. I might submit this to the Fail Blog.
Hey everyone. Yesterday, I felt sick (and I still do now). While I was trick-or-treating, I had to go back to my aunt’s house because I felt so sick. (Luckily, kmy cousin, her friends, and my sister got candy for me).
I didn’t think I had the swine flu, but out of curiosity, I Googled “Swine Flu Symptoms,” and guess what? I have some Swine Flu symptoms! Like I said, I don’t think I have it, but I’m not sure…
I recorded a video with my mom’s camera of me saying “Swine flu” in a weird, high-pitched voice. But the camera makes my voice screwed up.
I hope this video doesn’t offend anyone.
Also, the screen is black is because I am self-conscious about my appearance.
Another week has gone by and I haven’t posted anything. Sorry!
Anyway, every year my school has a Halloween party called the Monster Mash. The school is decorated, you can wear your Halloween costume (one person even dressed up as a banana tree! ), there’s incredibly loud music, you can get your picture taken, and it’s always extremely crowded. And there is a variety of great snacks, too! This year, there were Oreos, brownies, cupcakes, cookies, and more.
Although I stayed with my friends for the most part, I saw a lot of people I know, including some teachers and the principal.
My mom let me borrow her digital camera, which I had a lot of fun with. I recorded some videos but only kept one, and I might post it on YouTube sometime later today if my mom lets me. The video doesn’t include me.
I’m not sure if my mom will let me post the video because I was trying to record something with my sister, but she got in a fight with my brother. If I can’t post it, I’m very sorry.
Hi Kelli, I love your post “eleven years”. You are truly amazing to remember that story. I wish Mimi lived longer, she would have loved you so much. But she lives in our hearts, and we can feel her with us when we see a rose!
It would take a while to explain how this happened, but the trackball fell out of it. (For those of you who don’t know, the trackball is the ball in the mouse that controls the cursor.) This is actually my brother’s fault. He said he looked for it for about 20 minutes and couldn’t find it, and refused to look any more. So my mom and I had to find it, but unfortunately failed.
I have to use the Tab button for everything, and it is extremely annoying and difficult. It actually took me two minutes before I could start writing this post! The mouse is COMPLETELY stuck. I can’t click on anything, scroll down, or do anything involving the mouse whatsoever. Because of this, I can’t add any tags, my signature, and so on to this post.
And as I write this, the Tab button only switches between the “Save Draft” button and the post box (?)! I actually had to restart the computer to finish writing this post!
And now, it’s not only the mouse. I tried to turn off the computer fifteen minutes ago to see if that would help the situation at all, and yet the computer is still turned on!!!
Update: I shut down the computer several times, and finally, the mouse is no longer stuck. I haven’t found the trackball, though, and it will take forever to add my signature and tags to this post.
Hi everyone. Today is the eleventh anniversary of the day my grandmother (Who I call “Mimi,” which is Italian for “grandmother.” She and her family moved from Italy to the US in 1931.), on my mom’s side of my family, died of lung cancer.
I’m not exactly sad about this- I can’t remember her. I was only about 10 months old when she died. Here is a scary (and amazingly TRUE) story about her death. My mom originally told it to me about a year ago, when I was interested in the paranormal. I’ve reworded the story to put it in my perspective. I like to call it The Rose Bush:
My grandmother’s real name was Rose, and she loved roses. So my mom had a rose bush in the backyard, and every year on my grandmother’s birthday, my mom would pick a bouquet of roses to give to her.
Roses are difficult to take care of. Once I was born, my mom was busy with my brother and me, and going to the hospital to visit my grandmother when she had cancer. So my mom didn’t have much time to tend the rose bush.
Here’s the scary part- despite what I said, seven months after my grandmother died, my mom walked into the backyard, and what she saw amazed her. The roses were ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. My mom had hardly watered them at all or anything. They should have died. But they were PERFECT.
Hi everyone. I’m so sorry I haven’t been posting! I feel like I’m abandoning my blog. I know I said I’d try to post more, so I’m not sure why I haven’t. But I promise that I WILL POST MORE OFTEN. STARTING TODAY.
Anyway, in August, I started playing YoVille, a game on Facebook. It’s somewhat like Club Penguin, but a lot more fun. I didn’t play it much- or go on Facebook much at all- until now. My YoVille person’s name is Zaeriuraschi. She isn’t supposed to look like me.
I agree… Visit my site at http://www.mateobeccar.wordpress.com
Like I said, I don’t think I have it, but I’m not sure…
