When I went to blogger this morning I noticed it said I had 100 posts now. That's quite the milestone. It took longer than I thought because I don't post everyday anymore, but I'm glad to have gotten there anyhow. Though some people always say "Quality, not quantity" I'll try my best to achieve both.

Anyhow, I think I've already hit rock bottom. Maybe things can get better from now on. I stapled the map page from my history test in the front instead of the back, so I lost 5 points off my test, which otherwise would've been perfect. Also, I missed a bonus run in PE (if you run/jog the whole time, you can get credit for it or something) because I still hadn't recovered completely. Oh well. My foot should be better by the time we run our next mile. I hope I won't be too tired by then. (It seems like I have bad luck with both of the "Blairs" at the moment.)

Well, at least we watched an interesting Youtube video in class. Two criminals ran away from the court. They were handcuffed together and got peppersprayed so they couldn't see all that well. They weren't so bright, and ran on the opposite sides of a lamppost, causing them to crash together and get caught by the police again. Apparently a year has been added to their sentence. (I don't know what the original offense was, so please find out yourself.)

My neck is really itchy. That's strange since usually that only happens in the summer, because it is hot and dry. But I guess it happens in the winter because it's cold and dry. It makes it worse that I'm wearing a sweater, which my mom wanted me to try. I always wear jackets or no outerwear at all. (Of course I wear clothes. But that doesn't really count as outerwear.) It's lavender with white stripes. It's a pretty color but I already saw someone walking to school who had a similar sweater and I don't want to have an identity crisis.

I've been wondering about what to do for my Japan project. The subject is ikebana, otherwise known as flower-arranging. I am trying to decide what kind of ikebana I should do. Should I do an upright kind in a tall thin vase? (I have a vase like that except it's a Chinese vase and I would have to remove the bamboo already growing in there.) Or should I do a dog food dish for the vase? Or even this thing that looks like a very flat lampshade? Hmm.

This morning a lot of memories about when I was young came flooding back. When I was little, I wanted to play piano so I could play the song Fur Elise. Not a good goal since I soon reached that and became bored of piano. I would get upset if I couldn't play good, and cry and bang on the piano, or try to rip up my books. (This is why my belongings are so shabby.) Nowadays I realize I need to be more patient. I guess that means I'm maturing mentally.

I'm back from Las Vegas. It was quite a trip, and if I gave you all the itsy-bitsy details, you would probably fall asleep. So here's how it went.

It started out with me coming home from school on Tuesday. I just practiced piano and read a book while waiting for the time to go to the airport came. We drove there, I ate bread, and finally we got on the plane. Unfortunately, I started getting dizzy, and had to lay down for the flight. Luckily, it was only a short flight, and we got off the plane. Then we had to go to the rental car place to get a car, since of course we couldn't bring our car on the plane. (We didn't actually use the car much during the vacation.) It smelled sort of like candy in there. At nighttime it looked really shiny. (I wouldn't notice the flaws until daytime came again.)

We drove to our hotel, the Venetian. It's pretty cool since it looks like old-time Italy in there. There are shoppes inside and a "canal" filled with water, which gondola boats cruise up and down on. The rooms in this hotel are all suites, which is good for us, since not only is my family of three people going to Las Vegas, but also my grandma.

During the course of my vacation, I visit various places, my old haunts, in Las Vegas. My mom says that she and my dad actually visited Las Vegas twice before I was born, and then we visited it quite a few more times after I was born. So I have some memories from before of Las Vegas. A lot of the city is the same, and my favorite hotel (though I've never stayed in it), Bellagio, is still there. Bellagio is really nice since it has blown glass on one place on the ceiling, and it has a "garden" of sorts. It also has a shop that sells sweets, and fountains outdoors, which will "dance" to music in the later parts of the day.

If you want to hear more details, I'll put them in future posts, hopefully. But anyhow, when I got home, I was really unhappy. I went on to Nutrinopets this morning since I go there a lot when I'm on the Internet. Unfortunately, I found I had a warning for "reviving a dead topic". I managed to find out which topic it was, and I told myself I'd be more careful. But then it happened again and interrupted my posting in the forums. Same reason for the warning as before. The problem is, Nutrinopets wouldn't let me take the forum quiz now It must be the temporary suspension from the forums punishment. What upsets me is that I won't be able to find out what sort of topic it was that made me slip up. (Was it in the Art Trade? In Role-playing? Or in the General-ish forum? I guess it's a mystery for now)
