    The Field Trip

    So today was our team field trip to the Nordic Heritage Ski Center for a tour, team building activities, and a nature hike. The lodge was amazingly cozy. I could almost picture myself moving in there. The area outside of the lodge was great, too. They actually hold the biathlon there. Cool, right?

    After the tour, we played some team building activities like triangle tag, "everybody's it", sharks and minnows, and a a game where we had to walk while our feet were "fused" together. It was pretty fun. Lunch was next, and that was all good. Then we went on the nature hike. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We were the only ones on the facility, so it was just our three classrooms and three teachers anywhere within miles and miles of the place. Literally miles and miles, since the trails were several miles long, and so was and sort of civilization.

    Half-way through the wonderful nature hike, after we went through the regular woods and the "Enchanted Woods", it began to rain. Being the responsible adults they are, Mr. Perault, Mrs. Curtis, and Mrs. Richardson decided that it would be best if we took a short cut out of the woods to get back to the Nordic Heritage Ski Center and get out of the rain faster.

    Good plan, right? Well things aren't always as easy as they seem. Now this was the first time our grade had ever gone to the Nordic Heritage Ski Center, so our teachers didn't know where any of the trails went. For the past fifteen or so years, they've climbed Quoggy Joe, but this year they decided to do something different.

    We got lost. Seriously. Where we ended up actually was off the map. We had to walk FOREVER through fields, four-wheeler trails, and even a golf course until we finally found a road and waited for the bus to come get us.

    I am so ridiculously tired that it's not even funny. Even my Mountain Dew Revolution isn't helping. And the fact that my legs are still extremely sore from running the mile yesterday didn't help, either.

    Oh, and did I mention that I had to carry my backpack on my back the entire time, too? PLUS Elyse and Danae drank all of my water after I only had one sip.

    But I really shouldn't be complaining. Corlyn had it the worst out of the entire team. See, even though she's twelve, she has arthritis in her knees. Yeah, I think you get where I'm going with this.

    More news...oh, yes. I think Chaya might have a stalker, and I'm not joking at all. I logged on today so I could write this blog, and saw that I had THIRTEEN views of my profile, for just today. Obviously, that caught my attention. So like anyone would, I clicked on it to see what and when they viewed my profile. It's very convenient, since you can even click on the link the person used to find your profile.

    Someone searched Chaya's full name, which I will not give away, TWICE on Google. As if that weren't suspicious enough, the person also searched through every one of my photo albums, some more than once, and through my updates.

    Whoever you are, person who is searching for Chaya, just know that you are very stupid.

    Very, very stupid. I mean, we're talking lighting yourself on fire to keep yourself warm stupid. Honestly, I don't why you're checking up on my best friend. Whatever your reason, just know that I know my way around computers and can check up on whatever you are doing. Msn is nice like that, and so are many other programs. Don't believe me? Then that's your problem.

    Go fall in a hole and die. That is unless you are actually a student at our school. Then I might reconsider. Maybe.

    To lazy to thing of a proper title...

    I ran the mile in gym today. Seeing as how I have absolutely no physical talents, especially none in long-distance running, it sucked. It sucked like...to lazy to thing of something that really sucks.

    We had another lock down today. For all you strangers out there who randomly decided to read my blog even though you don't even know who I am, lock downs are basically where we go, in an orderly fashion, to the cafeteria and wait there until the police search dogs are done searching our things for drugs. Apparently at least two girls in my grade were caught with drugs. Whether this is true or not, I don't know. I'm usually the last to find out about these sorts of things.

    I have begun the actual "copper" portion of my copper tooling project in tech ed. The image I am imprinting on the piece of copper is none other than a clip art image of Boba Fett. What a surprise, right?

    I am now officially suffering from Star Wars dehydration. I haven't watched a single Star Wars movie in weeks! Weeks, man! When is Spike going to wake up and realize that they need to start playing them again?? One a week is all that I ask for. Oh, and that I don't fricking miss Attack of the Clones again. I always seem to miss the first hour or so of Attack of the Clones, in which is the scene on Kamino, which is, like, the best scene of Boba Fett in the entire movie.

    Life sucks.

    On a lighter note, I have officially decided that I want to be Hayley Williams for Halloween. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be trick or treating this year, seeing as how none of my friends are because they're too busy or going with someone else, and after all that talk of drugs being given out as candy... I think I'll just go to the Halloween dance at school, if I do anything at all.

    I am really tired. Really. See, I can't even think of anything else to write. That's just how tired I am. And it's not even five yet. Sigh...

    Jump Around Like An Idiot!!

    Hm. I haven't had a blog entry since August 6th. Interesting. Well I suppose it's about time for me to write another.

    The Clone Wars series premieres tonight. Duh, I'll be watching it. What kind of freak do you take me for?

    So I'm writing another story now. It's another "short" story, and trust me when I say I use the word "short" loosely. I'm still in the introduction of the story, and I'm already on page 9 with size 12 font and single line spacing. Would you like to hear the plot? Of course you would. Like you've got anything better to do, right? I say that because it has to be your only possible explanation for taking the time to read this.

    The plot. You ready for this? It's another Star Wars fanfic. Ooo, big surprise there, eh? Well anyway, it takes place in 20 ABY, or 20 years after Episode IV: A New Hope, for all of you crazies who don't know what ABY and BBY stand for. (BBY stands for Before the Battle of Yavin, which is where the first Death Star blew up in A New Hope; ABY stands for After the Battle of Yavin. Example: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith takes place in 19 BBY, since it takes place 19 years before the Battle of Yavin. Episode VI: Return of the Jedi takes place in 4 ABY, since it takes place 4 years after the Battle of Yavin. Just a little lesson for you.) It starts out with Boba Fett, which is obviously a given, saving his best bud's butt, yet again. But then Fett ends up in a vortex that leads him to crash-landing on Earth, where he meets two 13-year-old girls, Gen and Brianna, who give him the hardest time. Eventually Fett learns the way of the Earthlings and begins to live the way they live. That is until someone...else...falls into the vortex as well and ruins everything for Fett, including his cover. With the help of Gen, Brianna, and Gen's older sister named Paige, Fett has to find a way back to his own galaxy before total chaos strikes the people of Earth, or the police discover who he really is.

    Interesting, right? I knew you'd love it. How could you not? Don't answer that.

    On the topic of Star Wars, the Turner Library finally got all of the Legacy Era series in, except for one book. I haven't started reading the books yet, but I know they'll be good. I'm excited for the second book, Bloodlines, because it has Boba Fett on the cover. Obviously, he's pretty old by the Legacy Era. Seventy-two to be exact. He even cheated death. No, he wasn't shot or stabbed anything. He actually stopped himself from dying of old age. Amazing, right?

    Okay, here's another quick lesson for you. The Legacy Era is the last time period in Star Wars. It is not a long time ago anymore. If you were to somehow travel to their galaxy right now, you would be in the Legacy Era. So who are the main characters of the Legacy Era? Well, there's Jacen Solo (soon to be Darth Caedus), his twin sister Jaina Solo, their little brother Anakin Solo, their parents Han and Leia Organa Solo, Luke Skywalker (now the Grand Jedi Master of the New Jedi Order) and his wife (who was unfortunately killed by Darth Caedus in the fifth book) Mara Jade Skywalker, their son Ben Skywalker, Boba Fett, Fett's granddaughter Mirta Gev, and I'm pretty sure Lando Calrissian is up there somewhere, too. I haven't started any of the books yet, but I have read TONS of articles and character profiles on Wookieepedia.com, so I've got a pretty good idea.

    My birthday is coming up pretty quickly. First I'll have to get through October, then November, then most of December up until Christmas, then on December 26th I will finally turn 13. Hallelujah. Omg, funny. That's the name of the song I'm listening to right now. "Hallelujah" by Paramore, who happen to be the best band on this side of the Earth. OF TOPIC. So anyway, I've prepared, and by prepared I mean I'll make things up off the top of my head, a list of what I would like for Christmas/my birthday. It's won't really make a difference, since one comes right after the other.

    LIST:
    -"Riot!" album by Paramore
    -"All We Know is Falling" album by Paramore
    -All of the Star Wars movies on DVD (Can you believe I don't already own any of them, being the fanatic I am?)
    -Um...clothes?
    -My own laptop
    -Boba Fett!! Yes, I know that would never happen. But a girl can dream, can't she?
    -On that note, I'll also add that I would like Hayley Williams and Natasha Bedingfield
    -Oh, I've got something more realistic––a ten foot picture of Boba Fett, Hayley Williams, and Natasha Bedingfield
    -I keep typing "Natashaing" instead of "Natasha". Hm, this one really shouldn't be here...
    -Oh! Hue Laurie, too!
    -An acne-free face, PLEASE!!
    -Er...surprise me?

    That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I probably should put "world peace" or "food for everyone" but that's not being very realistic. Asking for Boba Fett, Hayley Williams, Natasha Bedingfield, and Hue Laurie is WAY more realistic.

    About three hours left until the Clone Wars premieres. I promise you, one day when I'm an English teacher/best selling author/homicide detective, you'll see me working on Skywalker Ranch alongside George Lucas. Now I know what you're thinking––I'm going to be a mind-reader, too. Have I blown your mind yet? No? Well anyway, God obviously blessed the world with George Lucas, so I don't think He'll be taking Lucas back for a long, long time. That means I will indeed be able to work at his side at Skywalker Ranch once I'm older, since no one will use film by 2016. Don't ask. Can't argue with that logic, eh?

    Super time. I'm having pizza. Yum.
