annoying distractions

So I'm sitting in my 4th hour class waiting for the bell to ring.

It's a new semester, and a new history class, so I'm wondering what the teacher would be like.

Mr. P walks in, and pulls up a PowerPoint with three words written on it:


Emperor

Empire

Imperial


The task was to make a list of pop culture things that relate to these words. But I sat there for about a minute of the five minutes he let us brainstorm with nothing on my paper.

Besides the Emperor's New Grove, (ha.) nothing came into mind until I looked and the middle word again. How did I miss it before?

Then the next four minutes I didn't add anything else because I was so obsorbed with what I wrote down.

"The Empire State Building"

Huh. So much for paying attention in class today.

from The Battle of the Labyrinth

"I can't do it."

Grover hugged his stomach.

"Just thinking about it makes me want to throw up my silverware."

"He had a crush on a blueberry bush once,"

Juniper said miserably.

"Juniper,"

Annabeth said,

"Grover would never even look at another tree."

~

She sounded like she was close to crying.

"Hey, I'm usually about to die,"

I promised.

"Don't feel bad."

Jus' some laugh out loud moments

Reasons I cannot fall asleep at night

Let's consider all the possibilities:

1) Not because I'm scared... really... just thinking about hellhounds...and Luke...and other ways a demigod could kill. :/ (plus being psyched about the new movie coming in Febuarary!)

2) Realizing I forgot to finish my Geometry packet.

3) Thinking about the best Christmas gift one could give. (Yeah, I need ideas)

4) Hoping it doesn't snow so I don't have to scrape off the car tomorrow morning before school.

5) Massaging my sore fingers.

6) and feeling horrible about not posting in a month! :(

...I really don't mean for this to sound like a pity party...

Happy Birthday, Tweety!

Tweety Bird is 67 years old!

My cousin had read this book awhile ago. I just never took the time to follow his advice. Well, I am completely in love with it now, and I am starting on the sequel, The Sea of Monsters.

What made me pick it up, though, was the fact that it's going to be a movie in Febuary 2010. And I really do hate to watch movies first... So I decided to be on the safe side and read it before it came out.

Now I am over excited for the movie! I just hope they don't mess it up, although I know the book will always be better.
