so, it's that awkward time between Halloween and Hanukkah/ Christmas/ Kwanzaa/ winter solstice. I always get annoyed when I'm driving down the street and people have already put up Hanukkah/ Christmas/ Kwanzaa/ winter solstice decorations. DON'T FORGET ABOUT THANKS GIVING!!! it's a holiday too. why don't we have thanks giving decorations? instead of giant inflatable snow globes we could have giant inflatable turkeys! I don't know about you all but my family and I have some weird holiday stories. we usually eat thanks giving dinner with our friends who are doctors. one year between dinner and dessert we all got our swine flu vaccine. I was putting a last bite of turkey in my mouth and i looked over into the other room and i saw my mom being injected with a needle. that ruiened my appitite. so that's just one story. what are yours? do you have a weird thing that you eat? or relitives that have weird jobs? leave a comment and tell us about it!
Happy thanks giveing!

Vans-- HALLOWEEN
Lets start out with a random fact about trick or treating: Katey Perry has never been trick or treating. Sad right? Well it's Halloween time and people are making plans with friends to go out and beg for candy while wearing costumes. For most people this is a fun activity. But what if the people you are going with don't like each other? Then you have a problem. Who wants to spend the night with friends who are arguing the whole time. So I have some advice. Go with a bigger group of friends. That way if two of them are arguing you can spend time with someone else. Also if there are more people they might spend time with others instead of the person they don't like. Remember it's not your fault if they don't like each other so don't let their arguing keep you from having a good time. Let them work it out themselves. Unless they are punching each other you don't have to be the peace maker. So now that we have covered that topic how about a recipe! So a couple of years ago converse brought in these delicious cookies to school on Halloween. They were sugar cookies with a chocolate kiss on top. She then put frosting around the rim of the kiss. They ended up looking like witches hats! And who said she can't cook (see earlier post)? So I hope you have an amazing halloween! I'm going to be the Cat in the Hat. Comment on this post and write what you're going to be.

vans-- read to find out.
Hello, so it's a Saturday night and guess where I am?!? No not at a party, not at a friends house, not at my own house, I'm…… (dramatic pause)… BABYSITTING!!! so I was reading converse's post about Facebook, I myself don't have one-- I write on a blog that's viewed by who knows, but I don't want something where I can write and it will be viewed by my friends--welcome to my crazy mind-- so I don't know why her post made me think of this but, it made me think about things I do in my free time with friend that are not electronics. I know in this 20 first centry we're all supossed to be obsessed with electronics, in fact in 2050 they are supposed to attack-- acourding to a magazen, but there are other things to do in life. Speaking of electronics my dad just got a snazzy new phone, he just interrupted my posting to show me his background. so here is a list of things to do with friends that have nothing to do with electronics:
-- make a list of things to do in your local shopping area, ie: go into a store and speak with a brittash accent. i've made lists with friends tons of times and we had lots of fun.
-- go for a walk and talk. if it's a nice day, go outside, if it's pouring i don't suggest this activity.
-- make up a new game, my friends and i used to love foursqare, we would make up all theese crazy rules, it was lots o' fun.
-- go for an adventure, in you back yard, in your neighbors yard, in your enimies yard, the possibilities are endless!
-- play a games, my personal favorite is rat-a-tat-cat, ITS UBER FUN!
-- learn karate, if you didnt already do it this summer (see me earlier post) learn it together! two kickers are better than one!
well, theese are just some of my ideas, comment and i'll give you some more. whenever i have done one of theese things with a friend we always end up laughing, talking, and haveing a great time. so instead of stalking someone on face book do something else! yaaaa!

Converse- Facebook
Sorry about my lack of posting!
Note: If you want to get a Facebook and are trying to convince them to get you one, don't let them read this!
Just thought I might add a quick word about facebook- do you, our WONDERFUL readers, have facebook? I do and I have to say, I almost wish that I didn't.
Several reasons as follows:
1. You learn way to much about other people and what they have been doing
2. You get notifications through your email, things like "so and so tagged you in this picture" and naturally you want to see the picture they posted and then you get sucked into the BFT (the big facebook trap) and end up looking at the page of your friend- of a friend- of a friend- of a friend.
3. Its very easy to say that you are going on to set up a time to hang out with your friend, but instead you end up staring at other people's pages for hours on end.
4. You never quite know if someone can tell if you have been on their page... and who has been on yours...actually this should be my #1 bullet point.
5. You get friend-ed by people you STRONGLY dislike, and yet if you deny their request they find out. A helpful tip: if you don't like the person and they try to friend you, just let the request sit around- never click yes or no. Then if they find out they can't be offended, because you can use technology as a great excuse.
6. All those people that you don't like that you friend-ed, while on one of those, "I'm going to give everyone a fresh start!" five minute inspirations, can see everything you post. And all of your pictures. Even the ones you don't want them to. And of course, you can't un-friend them because they will find out... and that's simply a very akward situation. What do you say? Umm... I don't like you very much and I was trying to give you a second chanc, but really- I don't think you deserve one so I'm never talking to you again...
So unless you have a desperate need, a cousin you are very close to who lives in a different state, for example, or a friend in the same situation- its worth it. Otherwise, I suggest skipping it...

Converse speaking- its school again...
Hi,
So for me school is completely in session. Its hard to think that summer was just a few weeks ago- but anyway, I don't know about you, but for me I can always tell when I'm back in school.
- My alarm goes off and I realize that its not by accident
- I open my school email and actually have homework, not just private jokes with friends
- I always trip over stuff on my floor in the morning, but this time its my science binder instead of a pile of magazines
Have any rituals that let you know your not going to have a social life for the next 10 months?
I don't know any one else- but for me it always seems like the farther I get into school the less social I become. I have homework everyday, including the weekend, and several sports practices. I guess its just a piece of getting older... what happened to the days when I had to write a review for a book and that was all my homework for the week?! When I could go to my friend's house Monday night without worrying about studying for tests.
There are lots of pros and cons I guess when it comes to growing up. Its nice to have more freedom, walking to a restaurant with friends, but you almost never can due to school schedule.
When I was younger I always thought it would be cool to be on a sports team, but now I realize its a lot of hard work- getting up at 6:30 on a Saturday morning to go practice. But the feeling you get out of it is so worth it...
Overall, I'm sure the pros outweigh the cons for the most part, but I'll admit, I wouldn't mind not having any homework.
See ya,
Converse

Vans speaking-- baby sittig tips
Hello. Sorry converse and I haven't posted in a while. I know I have been busy with skool, homework, learning how to ride a unicycle, volley ball an all the other normal everyday things that I do :) anyway, I was talking to my cousin today- just FYI we r close, I try to call her often since we don't live in the same state- and she was like, "u haven't posted in a while." and i said something like, "whoa, the kid in the restrant next door to where I am sittig goes to my skool." and she said, "vans ur getting off topic." anyway. I relized she was right. So I decided to post baby sitting tips. Random i know. But it better than nothing right?!?!
Here it goes:
1. Rubbing their back helps them fall asleep.
2. Playing the alphabet game helps them
Fall asleep( the game where u think of an animal that starts with a, then b...) BUT DON'T TRY TO PLAY THIS GAME WITH KIDS WHO HAVE NOT LEARNED THE ALPHABET YET-- I learnt the hard way…
3. If they say, I'm not tierd! Tell them,"to bad,
u have to go to bed
Now." but use different words. Don't tell the kid, " ok! U can stay up!"
So, I know middle skool is when u start babysitting so I hope this helps.
Vans, who just told a
Kid to go to bed :)

Vans- summer worries.
Vans Speaking. As the summer is comeing to an end and school is about to start we all get kinda sad. Soo.... I know these r some of my worries.
-- what if my friends changed over the summer.
-- what if some trend started while I was out of town.
-- what if I have no friends in my class.
So I was looking at all if these problems and I relized something. Wait... Quick break. Fun fact. Did you know that I have never been to walmart? If don't have a walmart in your town it's a big store that sells everything. Kinda like a target. Anyway back to the post. So, I relized something. Everyone has theese problems. When we all get back to school we will all be worringing about theese things.some
More than others. So do yourself a favor. Stop worrying. About the trends, they don't developed that quickly. Also it's ok if you don't follow trends. Mabey you can make up your own! About friends, everyone changes a little bit. It all comes with growing up. But just except their changes. Don't try to change them, that will just make them mad. About friends in your class, even if you don't have any in your class u can always make new ones. This past year I started out the year with only a couple of friends in my class. But by the end we were all really close. So don't worry and have a really really really fun rest of the summer!
