You know what I want to do?

I want to learn to play an instrument. I have a piano and a harmonica, just no motivation to learn how to play. Its horrible. I hate it, I want to learn but I just can't. Well I could but I don't want to have to. You know what I mean?

Sometimes I wonder if I have ADD or ADHD. Someone told me they read something about how studies have shown that people that do somethings with their left hand and other things with their right hand, are more likely to have those disorders. I'm mostly wondering this because I havn't been able to learn an instrument. I start and I don't finish because......Idk, dosn't keep me interested. Maybe its because I havn't found an instrument that has truly interested me. *sigh* I'm not sure. Problem of living in a village sometimes.

ANYWAYS I need to adjust my draw weight on my bow. I just don't understand how to do it but I think I could figure it out eventually. If not then I'm just gonna take it to anchorage or something.

Ok so I just watched the first episode of "Hook, Line, and Sisters" on TLC. Its a show about this family that fishes salmon in our village. They talk about herring fishing and then they get into salmon fishing. I fish and I love it. My dads boat is called the Bailey Louise, and no that is not my middle name. Its my grandmothers name. His boat was called the Endurance. He made it wider and bigger down in Hoquiam. Guy named Howard Moe. But anyways, he was down there for eight months.

Well I had just been thinking about the new year. There are a few things that I would like to do. Either finish or get really far on my spanish, and either learn the harmonica or piano. My dad thinks the piano is better but I'm not sure, I could take my harmonica anywhere! I want to learn how to play Zeldas lullaby on something. I also think I would like to learn the guitar but I don't have one or have anyone to teach me. So I'm not sure what I'm gonna do.

Christmas!

Ok, I don't know about you guys, but my Christmas was awesome! I got to spend lots of time with my "fake" family. My fauntys and funcles and franmas and frampas and my fuosins!

I didn't get what I exactly wanted but I still got some pretty cool stuff. I'm happy.

 26 inch R/C Helicopter 

Blue tooth headset 

Assassins Creed: Blood Lines for my PSP 

Two Sims expansion pack

New version of Microsoft office 

A compound bow and some arrows

 I got some clothes

Three hours of quality time with my cousin

I know that last one isn't really a gift but I consider it a gift. My cousin doesn't spend much time with me. 

Well on Christmas morning, I got up at 7:30 and at 8, I went with my Faunty and Funcle and we went and drove to everyones house and opened presents. Then I went back to my house and opened my gifts. I spend about an hour looking through everything. It was fun. 

I took my helicopter to my schools gym and flew it and figured out the controls and everything. Although its taking too long to charge again. I will be back here tomorrow, flying it again. 

Well I hope you guys had a good Christmas because I know I did!

Winter break

Well winter break is finally here. Ok, so I'm gonna tell you a story. So I was waiting for the plane, down at the air feild. And I was sitting in a truck and there were a few other trucks. But we were about there for an hour. So we were listening to some music and my funcle (fake uncle) starts singing along to all the songs he knows. It was funny. Not too long ago he was "running" on a treadmill and decided to try and jump over the trees that appeared on the screen. It wasn't a very good idea :D

But anyways, so I was talking to one of my friends today and he was saying how my life is so differnt from his and so I should put "normal" storys from my life on my blog. Like burning boxes or fishing or stuff like that. I guess I could, maybe then I wouldn't be asked "Do you live in an igloo?" "Have you seen a polar bear?"

YEA, I LIVE IN AN IGLOO! IT HAS TWO STORYS AND IN THE SPING WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THE PIANO LIKES TO FALL THROUGH THE FLOOR! AND MY PET IS A POLAR BEAR, HIS NAME IS FRED!!!

I hoped you people noticed that the caps meant sarcasm but if you didn't then.....I don't know about you.

I actually read something not too long ago that had said that people who didn't understand sarcasm, weren't as smart as people who did. Almost everyone uses sarcasm. I use sarcasm all the time. So yea

BUT ANYWAYS! Well tomorrows Christmas eve? I think so, so that means the day after that is CHRISTMAS! Sounds lots of fun huh? I think it will be, getting to hang with family and all.

So yea, thats it for now so I will.....idk watch movies :-/

SNOW!

Ok so last night we got dumped on with like a foot and a half of snow. But the nice thing about this morning is that its not really cold out. Its like the perfect temp. Sure, it only has to be like 30 degrees out but I'm an Alaskan. ALASKANS DON'T FEAR THE COLD! THE COLD FEARS ALASKANS! :D

Ok, I just started the last Percy Jackson book last night. Its by Rick Riordan. There are five books total and I finally get to read the last one. I tell you, if I didn't spend as much on books, I'd have a lot more money. But then I'd spend it on something else. When I'm down in Washington with my mom, I'll go to the book store like five times.

You know, something I find amazing is the still almost unnoticeable discrimination between men and women. I was watching 60 Minutes I think, and there was an actress on there. Meryl Streep is her name. She said something along the lines of "People never asked men to play the role of a strong minded man. Men are assumed to have opinions about things. But they will still ask a woman to play the role of a strong minded woman."Have you ever heard of the fact that for every dollar a man makes, a women will only make 70 cents? I'm not sure if thats still true but I just remembered that.

Christmas is REALLY close now! I think its on like Sunday. Winter break starts in four days!!!! So Thursday! Its super exciting! I hope my mukluks get in soon......If you don't know what those are, they are boots, made out of fur. Thats it.

Sometimes I think it would be cool to get to know the people who read my blog. I know! I could post my email on my profile and you could email me! If you want. I'm not trying to be weird. But yea, I would just like to see what you people think of my blog.......ah I'm being weird. BUT ANYWAYS!

Well I'm gonna go and stop procrastinating. Blah

To many things to do

You ever have those times in your life where you just have too much stuff to do? This is one of those times. I will make a list of the things that I need to do at some point.

Reread battle books

Finish my book that I'm writing

Finish my Africa Crisis poster

Start my Spanish again because my computer was stupid

Become more motivated somehow 

Look over the lesson plans to the Kindness lesson that I will be doing with our elementary students

Fix the few holes in my tire so I don't have to keep pumping it up

Work on my mood swings

Clean my house and my bed room

Start my Phase 3 application

Help the world

Help someone become a better person

Get more sleep

Try and figure out what I want to do in college

Thats just a few and I know a few of them are a little out of range but maybe one day.

I am so glad that Christmas is right around the corner. I can't wait until break. It'll be lonely for awhile but it'll be fun too. We got snowed on and everything has a crusty layer of white snow on it. It looks pretty cool. 

Also, something I forgot to mention. I didn't make it out yesterday for Dillingham. I don't think I'm gonna try today because I'd leave tomorrow. What fun would that be?

My principal was asking about my book. I am way behind. I only have a little over 12K and I feel like my story is wrapping up too fast. Well I guess I just keep writing. Thats what the first draft is for, right? 

But you know what? Something great in my life is all the great friends I have. The people I talk to in the middle of the night on FB or at school events. The people that I have fun/awkward times with. Or even the people that I spend time with and we laugh over the dumbest things. I have a lot of good people in my life. People that are awesome, funny, kind, caring and many other things. People who help me and cheer me up when I'm sad or not doing so good. If any of you are reading this, you know who you are :D

But anyways, just needed to get that down.

I know a few of you are probably thinking that I have a lot of time to figure out what I want to do in college. I'm in 11th grade so that basically means I have three years right? Well yes, but I just want to make sure I know what I want to do.

Well I think thats it for now, I started a poem so I think I will post that when I'm done.

Video Games and Eagles

How many of you people watched the Spike TV's Video Game Awards? I'm watching a recording at the moment. I know in my post I talked about donating, well I have another one that the VGA's talked about.

http://www.childsplaycharity.org/

A charity that is dedicated to getting video games to needy childern in hospitals.

Isn't that awesome? I read an article once that said that childern that had to go through lenghy medical processes like dialysis or something, that having video games helps pass the time and keep them calm. So yea.

It snowed last night, I woke up and there was snow every where. Visablity isn't too good but I think it'll pass.

Oh that reminds me, you want to know what happened on Friday??? A eagle landed on a power line and started smoking and sparking. I think it damaged a transformer because I think I have either a high or low voltage in my house o_O not good.

Ok, not sure what to say so I think thats it for now :D

Helping the World

Ok, most of you should know about all the problems we have in the world. Hunger, sickness, civil war, regular wars, economy problems and so on. And helping isn't exactly always easy. Well if you do want to help, I have a few websites that you can use.

www.freerice.com 

Donates ten grains of rice each time a word is matched with the definition. 

www.thehungersite.com

Donates 1.1 cups of food to someone whose hunger. There are also other links to websites on the top about the rain forest and animals. 

www.planusa.com

You can actually donate money or you can even buy chickens that will be given to families. Few different charities.

www.downloadtodonate.com

If you donate $10 dollars to a Japan or Haiti fund, you will be able to download an album that has songs from a few different artists.

www.goodsearch.com

A website that will donate a penny to whatever cause you choose when you search. My school has one "Chignik Lagoon School" it would be really helpful to us. Powered by Yahoo.

www.thenonprofits.com

Has a lot of links to websites that you can use to help donate to different causes.

Those are just a few I found. I have to donate over the internet mostly because I live in a village but maybe if you live in a city, you can help by doing other things. Even donating in your own community. Time, money, food, anything will help. Or you could even join or start an organization. Say you want to help stop global warming, organize a group that will go and plant and take care of trees.

"It isn't that we say, "It doesn't matter about me all that much, but if I changed the world, it would be better for other people." It's less complicated than that. We don't set out to save the world; we set out to wonder how other people are doing and to reflect on how our actions affect other people's hearts."

Pema Chodron

*Enter witty title here*

Ok.......not sure what to say...
Something I want to share is another quote from my teacher.

"Close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades"

I agree, anyways. You know how I was talking about the new Zelda game? Well I got it in! I got it in on Friday and got through the first dungeon yesterday. Its pretty awesome, in my opnion.

Ok I stole this idea from Josh's blog post. A list of things he wanted for Christmas. I know, I have to steal stuff from other peoples blogs, don't hate me. To make up for it, here is a link to his blog AGAIN. But I think he would appreciate the veiws. Josh's Blog Ok this is my list.
