Beach Days

Hey everyone! I have one more blog for you to check out today. Look down again!
(and she spelled it wrong, don't tell her!)
Awsome Blogs By Me (CHECK IT OUT)

And some news, I changed my display name. If you want to know who I am, I need to know who you are so I don't tell a stranger. Just letting you guys know!

Okay, now onto what the point of this post was. Today, I'm going to my Grandma's house. She lives about 50 miles away, a good hour drive at least. She lives by the bay, and her backyard is a canal. Whenever we go to visit her, my Grandpa takes us fishing. We either go to the island, or just to the pilings (wreckage of an old bridge. There's a picture down there). She lives near a powerplant which makes the water warmer, so during the winter, manatees come. There is a nearby manatee walk where you can walk on this bridge and watch the manatees. If you watch the news (you probably don't) you would've seen the manatee that got caught in a crab trap. It was sort of on the shore where they were, but that's about 5 minutes away from my Grandma's by boat. Whenever we go on the jet-ski, dolphins come around us. I've never gotten to pet one, but my G-Pa has. When it's nice and warm, we go to the island for a swim. Hermit crabs and sea snails tickle us, and jellyfish blobs are hovering on water. That reminds me of one time when I went to the Keys and we went out on the boat to a reef. It was beautiful blue water and it was about 15 feet deep. There were brightly colored fish, and a few nurse sharks. You think 15 feet is deep? Well we rode out further to sea, and we stopped for a break. We jumped in the water with our scuba masks on and we went underwater. It was scary how deep it was, about 800 feet. All you saw was light blue turn to black as it went deeper and deeper. The rest of the time, I pretty much slept in the hot sun on the thing similar to a "crow's nest" on a ship. We returned to our home in the Keys and were welcomed with deer following us. Yep, Key deer. They pester you like crazy, but the cute thing is, they'll walk right up to you and let you pet them. I named one Boney, and another Foamy (I think it was rabid or something, because it was foaming at the mouth..). Boney was utterly skinny. But I will get you guys updated for my trip to my Grandma's. She has a 3D TV! :D

The pilings.

Fans

No, not my fans. But me as a fan. For one, you guys should really check out these three blogs. Look down there....

The Life of Boring Me
The Beginning of My Endless Road
Melody of Thoughts

I ♥ Owl City!

Thanks if you checked em out. Shame if you didn't. But anyway, I'm a fan of this band called -- Owl City. Adam Young just brings together the perfect elements of music and combines them to make the perfect piece of music. OC has sort of an electronica feel to it, and that's pretty much what musical genre it is. Adam's voice is perfect, no cracks, no horrible, ugly sounding yells, nothing that could ruin his music. His lyrics may not make any sense to you, but to me? They're perfect sense. Every word forms a story, sad, happy, or just for the heck of it. Umbrella Beach by them makes sense to me, but if a person completely new to Owl City listened to it, they'd probably say either "What's the point of this song?" or "I don't get it." Obviously his music is perfection. So perfect. Why? Well I heard one of his older songs on the radio a long time ago, "Fireflies". I liked that song so I looked up Owl City. Usually I like one song by one artist, and hate all the others. But for Adam's music, I fell in love with each and every one. That's not an everyday thing for me. And, I could put one song on repeat, and listen to it NONSTOP. That's just how good it is.

Shcool

Yes, I purposely mispelled school. It's no longer school to me, but it is now shcool. (sh-kool) I don't really like my shcool, but I noticed something. My shcool is very...VERY strict. Khakis (or pay a dollar on special occasions to wear jeans). Black or brown belt. Earring no bigger than a quarter, necklace inside your shirt, two buttons up, etc. I hate it. Horrible shcool. Anywayyyy, have to be back at the classroom at 11:00. I'll post at home! Bye!

Thanks for tuning in!

Song of the Week

 I love this song. Owl City is an amazing band. Lyrics from [- From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/o/owl-city-lyrics/on-the-wing-lyrics.html -]


 


 I hate posting twice in a row...
 
 Breathe and I'll carry you away into the velvet sky
And we'll stir the stars around
And watch them fall away into the Hudson Bay
And plummet out of sight and sound

The open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills
Where I live in the alpine heights
Below the Northern Lights, I spend my coldest nights
Alone, awake and thinking of the weekend we were in love

Home among these mountain tops can be so awfully dull
A thousand miles from the tide
But photos on the walls of New York shopping malls
Distract me so I stay inside

I wish the rockets stayed over the promenade
'Cause I would make a hook and eye
And fish them from the sky, my darling, she and I
We're hanging on so take us high to sing the world goodbye

I am floating away, lost in a silent ballet
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you
Awake to take in the view
Late nights and early parades, still photos and noisy arcades
My darling, we're both on the wing
Look down and keep on singing and we can go anywhere

Are you there?
Are you there or are you just a decoy dream in my head?
Am I home or am I simply tumbling all alone?

I am floating away, lost in a silent ballet
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you
Awake to take in the view
Late nights and early parades, still photos and noisy arcades
My darling, we're both on the wing
Look down and keep on singing and we can go anywhere

Are you there?
Are you there?

Chipper

My family's favorite dog is a dachshund (a wiener dog). We have three of them, so it's easy to tell. The youngest is Willow. She's a blue and tan dachshund, and she is one year old. Jimmie is a long haired piebald (white and brown) one. He's about five. But the oldest one, Chipper, is eleven. Not a lot of my friends enjoy his company, because his breath is pretty bad. We decided to deal with that today. Before school when my parents dropped me off at the bus stop, we grabbed Chipper and put him in the truck. After my parents dropped me off, they headed to the SPCA. After I got home from school, my dad went to go pick up the dog. Turns out, he had to have 16 teeth pulled from his top jaw, and now he needs to have pain medication. Right now he's sleeping on a blue fuzzy blanket on the living room's leather chair...or my favorite chair. :D

Science Project

All right. So the other day, I had a science project due. It was a project where you modeled your own Periodic Table out of everyday items (clipart, magazine pictures, and actual objects). It was due the 23rd of February, and I hadn't even started it on the 22nd. My neighbor (his name is James) usually has everything, so we, as in my father and I, went to see what he had. Crayons, glue, origami paper...you could ask for something and he would pull it off of the shelf. He gave us plenty of ideas, but the one I had thought up stood out. I would do dogs, but something needed to be in common in the columns. I decided I would do the show dog groups: herding, sporting, toy, etc. By the way, my two favorite animals are dogs and horses. That might have let you know why I like to talk about them. Anyway, in the three hours it took to construct, it turned out to be better looking than the others. Someone else did dogs but they based it on fat, fluffy, skinny, and other things like that. I turned it in the next day, the 23rd, feeling confident. (I still don't know how it turned out, grade-wise). But thanks for tuning in!!! :)

"My" Horse

Today I was over at my friend's house. We went back into the woods to our fort, but we decided to go further back. We went through the trees (I fell down quite a few times) and as we pulled apart the brush we saw four horses. My friend, Cody, named a white and brown horse "Gunboy". I found an all brown one with one white strip down his forehead. I had one of those dramatic moments when you outstretch your hand and pet it slowly. He was a sweet horse. His coat reminded me of chocolate, so I named him, "Chocolei". My sister spotted the all white one and named him "Chalk". I'm going back to visit Chocolei tomorrow. (By the way, his name is either pronounced "chok-a-lee" or "choc-a-lay").
