The next day after I admit to my crush on John... comes along Ben*.

Sigh.
We're having an end-of-summer party today, and Jackie and *I'm losing track of my fake names...* my other friend are coming with their family. It's going to be fun. I'm all jazzled up for the occasion xD With sparkles, of course.
Emma hasn't posted on her blog in WEEKS. I've got to remind her of the COMMITMENT!
Idk.
Have a nice day.

Today I hung with the sporty-popular boys (and one girl...). We fought over a volleyball, but before that (and that was the best part) we were playing this catch-volleyball-four square hybrid that was super fun. I played that with the girl (Madelyn*) and another boy who I kinda have a crush on (don't freak out, Emma and Jackie, I just realized it today), John*. Then 3 other boys came in and we played some intense colleysquare (xD). Then John had to leave, and everything went downhill from there.
See ya tomorrow!

LISTS!
Ok, this just came to me and I have to have to HAVE TO write it down xD
These are lists of my favorite things, media-wise.
Movies:
1. "Megamind"
It's a kids' movie. So what? I freaking love it
2. "Titanic"
I'm a romantic.
3. "Legally Blonde"
Proud to be blonde :)
4. "Katy Perry: Part Of Me"
I must make my anti-Katy Perry mother see this movie and convince her that Katy Perry DOES have brains and real talent.
5. "Ice Age 3"
Once again, a kids' movie, but this one is HILARIOUS.
Books:
1. "Divergent" by Veronica Roth
If you like the Hunger Games, Uglies, Matched, and all of those other dystopian books you'll love this one, but it's unique because there a) is no love triangle and b) the MC is against the rebellion.
2. "House of the Scorpion" by Nancy Farmer
This one involves some thinking, and even though it was a required read in my case, it's a great book. Also futuristic-dystopian-ish, but not in the same way that the aforementioned books are.
3. "Uglies" by Scott Westerfeld
Stereotypically dystopian, but still a great read. Also involves some thinking, but not as deep as #2.
4. "Art Geeks and Prom Queens" by Alyson Noel
Realistic fiction, but I still adore it :) I haven't quite finished it yet, but it's really good so far.
5. "The Red Pyramid" by Rick Riordan
I absolutely LOVE these books. They're humorous, but not too humorous on the backdrop of the possible end of the world. Fans of Egyptian mythology will eat it up. In my opinion, Riordan's best work.
If this list were to go on, it would include Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Hunger Games, etc but they're not my ABSOLUTE favorites like these 5.
Songs
1. "Want U Back" by Cher Lloyd
I absolutely love the attitude of this song, so upbeat and energetic!
2. "I'm Just A Girl" by No Doubt
On the annual road trip, I listened to this song over...and over...and over again.
3. "Fearless" by Taylor Swift
There's just something about this song!
4. "Fireflies" by Owl City
I love the tune, feel, and lyricism of this song. This one's another uplifting one.
5. "E.T." by Katy Perry
Have you ever read the "I Am Number Four" books? Well, this is what I'd imagine Sarah singing to John.

It's my puppy's birthday today! Happy birthday Penny Rose <3 <3
We went on a bike ride, other than that I didn't do much except for play on Poptropica xD
Wish Penny a happy birthday!
*happy birthday Penny*
I'm weird today.

So, you know how I mentioned I love to sing? Well, if I didn't I'm stupid. These are my top 5 best songs:
1. "Skye Boat Song" *does anyone know who this is by?*
Ok, I know the song is a strong statement of...well I forgot, but know that I'm not religious or anything like that. I sing this in the key of D Major.
2. "A-Team" by Ed Sheeran
I only know the first and second verses (and the chorus, duh) but this is definitely one of my best songs. I would post the recording I made of me singing it, but I don't know how to. Does anyone else have Magix Music Maker 16 and happen to know how to post songs on blogs? This is also in D Major (well, at least my version. The actual thing is in A Major).
3. "Hey Soul Sister" by Train
Once again, I only know limited proportions of this song but believe I sing it well. E Major.
4. "Butterfly" by ME!
I wrote this song, therefore I know all of it. If I get enough comments, I'll post it here. In G Major.
5. "Love Song" by Sara Bareilles
I know all of this song! XD It fits into my range almost perfectly, except I can go higher. F Major.
I'm not very good with minor keys, if you guessed.
Ciao!

Today we went to a beach, but I "forgot" my swimsuit.
I was buddies with Cassidy* Sarrah*, and Brita*. They're all very...interesting people, and I honestly would have rather been with the popular girls, it's not that they wouldn't let me in... but...
Most of the day I spent doing my summer reading assignment number one, "House of the Scorpion" by Nancy Farmer. It's actually a very good book. Anyway, we have to take notes on the plot, characters/character traits, salient words, and any new vocabulary. It's really quite fun, even to take notes,  and as of my Perfect Student Resolution** of ninth grade, I'd do it even if it wasn't.
Peace Love Puppies!

*Names have been changed to protect the identity of the people aforementioned.
**I have resolved to be a perfect, studious, straight-A-and-all-that-jazz student for ninth grade. For tenth grade, it'll probably be the same.

As you guys have probably guessed, the only reason I'm not posting is because NOTHING IS HAPPENING! It's boring summer day after boring summer day, and I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually cannot wait for school to start.
At least I have Emma's birthday party to look forward to. I can't post what I got her for a present here because she reads my blog XD
Well, I guess my old friend Allie* is back from visiting her dad in Florida. But she's popular and hangs out with her popular friends and I barely get to say anything to her. Grrr.
I am now the official Poptropica Expert of the summer camp thingie I'm going to. I know it's veeeeery embarrassing, but once again IT'S FREAKING FUN. You guys should try :P
Well, Imma go play Poptropica now. Byeee!
