Wow! I haven't realized how long it has been since I last blogged -- 12 days! Well since then, I've turned 15, I went to the movies, and now it is spirit week. Let's start with my birthday. Two Fridays ago, I turned 15 without much pomp or circumstance. I didn't have any friends over, because they couldn't make it, but the food was good. My mom made white chocolate chiffon cake, and my dad made deep-dish pizza and pumpkin chiffon pie. Yum!! The gifts that I received had a cupcake theme. I got 2 cupcake bookmarks, a cupcake notebook, and cupcake pajama pants. The other un-cupcake related gifts were note cards, a few books, and a puzzle from my parents, and a t-shirt from my grandparents. By the end of the night I was stuffed. I had to try both the cake and the pie, along with a scoop of ice cream, and that deep dish pizza was no walk in the park, either. But regardless of me feeling like I was about to throw up, all was well. On Saturday, I went to the movies with my sister, mom, friend, and I. We went and saw "Easy A", which was really funny. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. I think that it's kind of ironic that I had just read the Scarlet Letter this summer for Honors English, and here we are, and a movie come out that is based on it. Afterwards, my friend went home with us and we drank tea and ate cake. I also invited another friend, who couldn't make it to the movie because of a cross-country meet, to come over whenever she was available. And for all my complaining that I didn't have a party, an impromptu one was created. They even came baring gifts; makeup and nail polish from one, and 10 dollars from the other.
Fast-forward a week, and you come to today. If you missed it above, this week is Spirit Week, which is what the week before Homecoming is called. Every day is a different theme. If I do say so myself, the ones that they came up with this year are pretty stupid. Today was Denim Day -- people wear denim every day. I saw some boys going around with jean cut-off shorts, which was pretty disturbing. They were just a liiittle too tight and a liiitle too short. Tomorrow is #1 Fan Day -- a person could just wear any t-shirt and say that they are the #1 fan. Wednesday is Music Day, and for my grade specifically, Jazz. What am I supposed to wear for jazz? They don't really have a particular style or anything. My sister was luckier, because her grade is Heavy Metal. She and her friends all got together and made t-shirts with different heavy metals on, like off the periodic table. Creative, isn't it? Nerdy, yes, but still very cool. Her heavy metal is europium. Thursday is Raid Your Parent's Closet Day, which I just find kind of stupid. I think that I'll just wear a tie or something because it's not like my parent's clothing is any different than mine, just a different size. And Friday is Black and Orange Day, as usual. See what I said about not being that creative. Now if it was Vintage Clothing Day, I would go all out, the whole outfit. But it's not, it's #1 fan day. Yeah. All my complaining aside, I still plan on participating every day. I know, what a hypocrite, but whatever.
Not only is this week going to be exciting. This Saturday is the Homecoming Dance, which I'm planning to go to with a couple of my friends. I'm wearing a vintage dress of my mom's, but other than that, I haven't really thought it through. It seems like the dance is extremely early, at least compared to last year. Anyway, the theme is Around the World, which is cool. Unfortunately, my mom signed me up for this campus thing at University of Michigan, which is all day. So, my preparations will be a little rushed. Speaking of this weekend, on Sunday we are going to tour this house for my mom's birthday. Apparently some famous architect built and lived there, so it should be interesting. And that's as far as I know in advance. I apologize if this all seems kind of random or haphazardly put together, but I'll have to get used to blogging more often.
