Runway to the Sun


Doesn't this look like a bridge going over to the sun? Wouldn't it be awesome to run down this thing? That would be SO cool! I would skip, do a few summer salts, then I'd jump in! 8D

That is, if the pier didn't fall from beneath me....

Ghost Hunters - Real or Fake?

So Moma, Kelly, and I were merrily watching the show Ghost Hunters on ScyFy. And Daddy is sitting on the back couch and basically says, "This show is so fake. You can tell by their tones of voices and how they act."

Well, having Ghost Hunters as one of my favorite TV shows, Daddy's comment really annoyed me. So I looked it up on none other than the Internet, to see if other people thought the same thing (no doubt they did, seeing as how this is a ghost show). So I typed in the Google search box: Is Ghost Hunters real or fake?

Of course, it came up with a ton of results. I clicked on a few, and found this one the most promising. Here's the link:

So I read the whole entire thing. They talked about the investigation during Halloween last year (which I recall seeing the rerun), and the facts they pointed out seemed acceptable and truthful. See for yourself.

In conclusion, Ghost Hunters IS real. Take that, Daddy!

Wings by Aprilynne Pike


So I just finished reading a really good book, Wings, by Aprilynne Pike.

So way back when in March (of 2009) I found this really cool website Fantastic Fiction. -http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/ - It's a website that list new books that are coming out, and other bestsellers and popular books. So anyway, I clicked on the New Books button and was led to a page with a bunch of titles. And so I came across Wings. Of course the cover of the book got me - plus the little comment from Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight Series - so I clicked on the summary. This is what I got:

An extraordinary faerie tale of magic and mystery, romance and danger, described by Stephenie Meyer as 'a remarkable debut'. Laurel is an ordinary fifteen-year-old high school girl. But something incredible is happening to her. She is changing. Now Laurel is about to discover that a deep and powerful magic holds the key to her destiny.

O.O ~ Of course, now I had to get it! But it came out in May, a few months away. But still, when it DID come out, I didn't have any money to get it. And voila! My birthday was finally here on October 14th. So I got out my birthday list and wrote, at the top of the list, Wings (book, purple cover; found at Walmart).

And I GOT IT! So I read it like crazy, and four days afterwards I had finished the 290 paged novel. It was REALLY good.

Now, as I looked in the back of the book, I saw there was no preview for a sequel. Usually all books I read have previews for their next book in the series. I went on the computer to see if Pike is writing anything else - and Wings is a four book series! AWESOME!

(Kelly, my "hysteric" sister, is yelling and singing at me and says she's in withdrawal from the computer. Better let her on - she's starting to sing Christmas songs!)

Camp!!


Hey guys! I got back from 6th Grade Camp today! I slept over on Thursday and got back today. So cool!

I had 7 classes in all. There was Ecology, Photography, Fishing, Canoeing, GPSing, Wildlife, and Plants. I rocked at canoeing; the whole class had teams and we raced around a buoy and back to the shore. My friend and I won, with me in the front! Awesome.

I really liked Plants, though, because we got to smash leaves with hammers! It was awesome! We would lay the leaves under white cloth and then - SMASH! Hitting the hammer down, the chlorophyll in the leaves would burst out, leaving green and yellow and pink and purple and all the colors under the sun on the cloth, leaving awesome imprints on it! With color! You had to be there to see how sweet (not "sweet" as in "candy", but "sweet" as in "dude!") it was. I did hammer my fingers a bit, but no blood, no foul!

The best part was at night. When all the Day Campers left, all of the Night Campers (me and ma peeps) got to do awesome stuff. There was golf frisbee, wall climbing (the wall was huge!), and then I decided to do archery.

That's right, you heard me.
ARCHERY.
With REAL arrows and bows!
Not plastic!

I only got to try it once. Unfortunately, I wasn't the best (I sucked), but it was all in good fun.

An hour or so later we Night Campers sat around the giant fire pit with our SUPER AWESOME glow necklaces. Eli, our camp counselor, was really funny. He told lame jokes and stories. We then sang songs and acted out short skits. You just HAD to be there!

The skits were funny; like this one where there was this girl who kept on complementing all these other kids on their various articles of clothing. And it would always go like this:

"Darlllllling, where did you get those shoes?"
"Thanks, I got them from J.C. Penny!"

They would always say they got their thing from J.C. Penny. And at the end this kid came up to the girl and was said (seeming to be covering himself up):

"Can I have my clothes back?"
"Pft. Well, like, who are you?"
"My name's J.C. Penny."

OH MY GOSH I laughed so hard! That was my favorite of all the skits. You just had to be there.

The bunks we were assigned to annoyed me. All of my friends were in the same cabin together, and I had to be in one that didn't have any friends in it. Eh, I take that back. There was Marie, I guess. But other than that nobody I really liked. Our cabin's number was Fox 6. Isn't that funny? Fox 6? As in, the news channel? It was hilarious at the time.

In the morning we had to pack up. After that was finished with, we had breakfast and then the teachers gathered us up. They told us to basically shut up about what we did last night (more politely, though), and hide our glow sticks. They didn't want us to rub it in or show off how much fun we had.

But, of course, we couldn't help singing a bit (we sang and chanted like happy little campers) and taught all the Day Campers our songs. We were too happy to help bursting into to song; and trust me, that feeling's contagious.

After our next two classes and lunch all us campers met into some big empty lunchroom type area. The teachers handed out these half finished letters that we would send to our future 8th grade selves. You had to finish a sentence, basically. The letter was SO corny. Not even the good type of corny. 'How neat those classes were!' *makes gagging sounds* I tried to awesome the letter up, so future me would have something to look forward to.

The teachers and the campers then played a sort of Jeopardy type game. Yellow group *waves*, that's me, lost by -3 points. Other groups got worse, but it was fun nonetheless.

We then went home. Surprisingly, camp was great! And now I'm home ^^
