A Look back at "Thirteen"

As most of you know, I'll be celebrating my fourteenth year living on this home planet we call Earth. The years I've spent here have been quite enjoyable, and I can only imagine what the years to come hold in store for me. As for my first year as a teenager, I've been greeted by more responsibility, and privileges, which is good, and bad in some ways. Allow me to go over some of these things that have happened over the past year:

• I got my very first cell phone on my thirteenth birthday, only to have it be accidentally put through a cycle in the washing machine, and dryer, while it was still in one of my pants-pockets. I now use my dad's old cell phone, while he uses the new one he got for Christmas.
• I was given the privilege to be able to walk along the main road near my neighborhood, to walk to friends' houses. This may not sound like much, but when you've watched all your other friends do it for the past two years, you learn to want to be able to do it too.
• I was finally allowed to have a Facebook profile (funny story how I got it. Mom and dad know what I'm talking about. Heh-heh....), and was able to friend more people than my parents had (individually, that is) in about a month.
• And, of course, I started this blog.

I'm sure there were more things to add to that list, but they escape my mind at the moment. But, I guess you can say I'm finally starting to "grow-up".

And I'm sure Mom just can't wait the two years until I'll be driving!

Talk to you all next weekend!

Yours in awesomeness,

Test-Drive

It's amazing what technology can accomplish these days.

You can take pictures, browse the Internet, talk on the phone, get directions to your mother-in-law's house, and order Thai food, all at the same time in the palm of your hand. (Results may vary)

Just one example of what I'm saying is this blog post, which I typed, and posted straight from my iTouch. I'm telling ya, these things are like little mechanical GODS! They can do almost anything! (unlike the iPhone, which does absolutely everything)

Anyway, I just wanted to test out this new app I got on my iTouch. This should prove to be quite convenient when I want to blog on-the-spot.
Hopefully I'll have more to talk about tomorrow. (and hopefully something interesting as well)
Happy Sunday!

New Year's Resolutions

I probably should have mentioned this in today's earlier post, but I'm just gonna do it here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know New Year's was weeks ago, but I wasn't available online during that time. So, I decided I should post some New Year's Resolutions.
Now, before anyone goes off, screaming "COPYRIGHT" in my face, I'll go ahead and say YES; I did get this idea from Badass Geek's blog. I don't mean to steal it, but I thought it'd be neat...
Not even sure if anyone from that blog is even reading this right now. If so, shhhhhh......

Anyway, here goes nothing:

• Save up to 100$ in cash, without spending any until I do so
• Pick my nose with my left hand.
• Go to Canobie Lake Park
• Perform a magic trick to a complete stranger
• Place at least fifty (50) "Kick-Me" signs on my brothers (not individually) (must be unnoticed)
  
•  Get two hundred (200) friends on Facebook
• Buy my Christmas presents with my own money
• Meet someone famous
• Watch an entire infomercial
• Play an entire game of Monopoly in one sitting
• Scam ten dollars out of a family member (legally, of course)
• Speak only in pig-latin for one day
• Teach Cooper to "Play Dead"
• Learn to do a tail-whip on a scooter
• Destroy Justin Bieber
• Learn to force a burp
• Learn how to say "The evil monkey in my closet stole my lucky underwear, and fed an angry parrot some Cheetos" in Spanish
• Post a photo of myself making a kissy-face on Facebook, just like every other girl on my Friends list has
• Walk around school with a sock-puppet on my hand.
• Win the championship game on my school/Recreational basketball team
• Build a Lego model of the Empire State Building, just like Buddy did in "Elf"
• Drink a two-liter bottle of soda all by myself
• Beat a video game in one day
• Make a collage of people wearing banana costumes

 As you can tell by my extensive list, I want to try to get a lot done this year. I realize that I probably won't be able to complete all of these tasks, due to their difficulty factor (watching an entire infomercial), or ridiculousness (play an entire game of Monopoly in one sitting), or catastrophic-ness (buy my Christmas presents with my own money), but hopefully I'll have some fun trying! Might even learn a thing, or two (learn how to say "The evil monkey in my closet stole my lucky underwear, and fed an angry parrot some Cheetos" in Spanish)




So, if you have any resolutions, I'd be glad to hear them! Hope you enjoyed my list, and Happy Friday!

350 Days to Go...

My, oh my. I seems as though I haven't posted since last year! Happy (belated) New Year, everyone! These first fifteen days of 2010 have been pretty satisfying, if I do say so myself. I managed to blow all my Christmas cash in one and a half trips to GameStop (and I plan to make at least one more over vacation), I celebrated Noah's birthday with everyone (Happy belated birthday, Noah!), accidentally put my cell phone through the washing machine and dryer, and.... that's about it.

I'm also counting the days to my fourteenth birthday, which is just a week from this Tuesday. It's amazing to think that in only two years I'll be getting my driver's license (Hey, Mom, can you spell "heart-attack"?). Man, that's gonna be the day...

Anyway, not much else to say. Just wanted to check in on you guys, and I'll talk to you soon!

Yours in awesomeness,
~Ry.
