:: Ratty's randomly rattyful blog :: 12/3/09

I woke up kinda late today. And yet somehow we were earlier getting to school then we usually are... huh.

In Math we did more factoring and monomials and binomials and trinomials and all that stuff.

In Jewish Studies we had even more talking from the visiting rabbi. Rabbis sure like to talk.

In first period Humanities we watched more of the documentary on Jewish Americans.

Lunch was normal. But really cold. Which is normal for this time of year. XP I wish the bathroom sinks had warm water... And we might have lost the deck for a week, because someone *cough*Oren*cough* spilled something and didn't clean it up. XP

Second period Humanities was the same as the first.

In Hebrew we did more stuff about cell phones in different countries.

At recess I packed my backpack and went and sat by the office for like ten minutes waiting for my dad to show up. I had to miss Computers. Gah. XP Then we went to the ears/nose/throat doctor to finally have my nose checked out. He stuck little tubey things up my nose and looked through them. And wiggled them. It was weird. o.0 The reason I can't smell (never been able to) is apparently because there's a little bit of inflammation way up at the top of my nose and the nerve endings can't get enough air. Who knew? So now I have to take Cortozone nasal spray. -shrug-

Then we came home and me and my mom watched more Torchwood. The other episodes aren't quite as inappropriate. XD

Random thought of the day: Well, since I'm a copycat...

101 Things You May or May Not Know About Me:

1. My first and middle name is Anita Flora.

4. When I'm forced to eat spinach, I pull off the stems.
5. The only kind of meat I'll eat willingly is hot dogs. And yes, I do know what they're made out of. XP I try not to think about it.

7. I go to a Jewish school.
8. I've been learning Hebrew for eight and a half years and I'm still not fluent.

13. I used to like school more than I do now, but I still like it more than most kids.
14. My best subject is probably Math now.
15. It used to be English, but the teacher this year is all about conceptual writing and discussions, both of which I'm horrible at. I still get good grades on the quizzes, though.

17. Wait, that's not about me. XD

21. 21 Guns is a good song.
22. I have no idea how I'm going to get to 101 facts. XD
23. My earliest memory is from when I was about three. My parents forgot to buckle my seatbelt for me, cuz I didn't know how to do it yet. XD
24. And yet, the first time I went on an airplane, when I was six or seven months old, I figured out how to unbuckle the seatbelt after like ten seconds. XD And my mom wasn't watching, so she had no idea how it happened.
25. My first word was "no".
26. The only clothes I'll willingly wear are short sleeved t-shirts, leggings, and hoodie sweatshirts.

39. I'm not sure if I should keep writing Dimensional now that NaNo's over or go back to Annie Morphs, which I stopped writing for NaNo.
40. I came up with an idea for Annie Morphs earlier, but now I forget. XP
41. Hang on, it's coming back. Let's see... the Ellimist comes and tells them about a planet where the inhabitants have never heard of fighting or greed or anything, but then the Yeerks showed up to tell them about hate and stuff and the Animorphs have to stop them. Something like that, anyway.
42. I live in California.
43. I've lived in the same house all my life.
44. I've gone to the same school since kindergarten.
45. I learned how to read when I was three.
46. I've carpooled with Lev and his family since the very first day of school.
47. o.0 I just realized how long that is. That's eight and a half years.
48. I remember I was in the bathtub when Lev's dad called asking if we wanted to carpool. XD
49. I remember really random things.
50. Ooh... almost halfway.
51. I've been the youngest kid in my grade since kindergarten.

53. I fence.
54. I've been fencing for almost four years now and even beginners can whup my butt. XD
55. I love it when the coaches set up obstacle courses, but everyone else hates it so we almost never do it.
56. I still go on Webkinz every day.
57. When I'm writing, my characters don't really have personalities.
58. I'm also very sadistic when it comes to them, especially the MC. XD
59. I love scifi.
60. I also love fantasy, but I like scifi better.
61. I believe there really is alien life out there. If we evolved, why scan't others have evolved too?
62. I hope they make it to us or we make it to them sometime before I die.
63. I wonder how we're gonna communicate. Hmm...
64. I've never had a crush.
65. Except for a mini-crush on Taylor Launter a few months ago. He's cute, but I don't have a crush on him anymore.*
66. Also, in second grade I had a kind of half crush on a kid named Josh. He left the school halfway through the year, I don't know why.
67. He was at camp last summer.
68. He's a jerk.
69. Mayana says I have a good singing voice, but if I'm not singing along to something my voice shakes really badly.
70. If I'm alone I mouth along with the lyrics to the song I'm listening to, if I know them, which I usually do.
71. I also sometimes make up hand motions.
72. At one point I had hand motions for all of "Fearless." XD
73. Speaking of which, I forgot to put that on my favorite song list.
74. Only 27 more.
75. My mom is obsessed with Orlando Bloom.
76. *I'm still Team Jacob.
77. My favorite times are 1:11, 1:23, 2:22, 3:21, 3:33, 4:44, 5:55, 9:27, 11:11, 11:23, 12:21, and 12:34.
78. Wow, I have a lot of favorite times. XD
79. I'm going to public school for the first time next year.
80. I'm scared.
81. Nobody in my class is going there. I'm going to know at least one person, from fencing, and maybe a few from YMCA camp, but no one I know particularly well.
82. If I lived a block away, I could go to the big school with like ten kids from my class.
83. My hair is just about impossible to do anything with. It doesn't even fit under my hood very well.
84. I just freaked myself out by thinking about the last episode of Torchwood that I watched. The so-called "fairies" choked people with flowers. And there was no way to keep them away from you. o.0
85. How am I gonna get 16 more? XP
86. I'm allergic to penicillin.
87. I grew three quarters of an inch in the past year.
88. I'm about 4'10".
89. I wear glasses.
90. My username comes from the fact that I like rats (ratty) and my birthday is 10/29, which is two days before Halloween (jol=jack o' lantern).
91. Just ten more!
92. When I was little, I was obsessed with the movie Spirit. You know, the one about the horse?
93. I printed out all the songs and put them in a binder. Then I drew two really weird flowers and put them on the front. XD
94. The binder is still down with the movies. Right in front of me.
95. I remember our TV used to be in the living room. Then for some reason we moved it to the back room, which we now call the TV room.
96. The front room is kinda the junk room. We put everything into the garage over the summer but it's starting to fill up again.
97. If it weren't for Mayana, probably the only songs I'd have on my iPod besides the stuff I downloaded when I was little would be Alvin and the Chipmunks and the Twilight soundtrack.
98. She got me interested in Taylor Swift, which makes up about half the stuff I have on there.
99. Everything else except for a couple things, like Owl City, I heard on her radio, cuz she gets a really good station.
100. I used to have two rats, Kangaroo Rat (KR for short) and Athena.
101. And I... am... DONE.
102. No, wait, just thought of another. Whenever I change clothes, for some reason I keep thinking that any second I'll wake up and find that I fell asleep during school, dreamed the rest of the day, and started taking my clothes off in the middle of class. I really don't know why. It's weird. o.0

Yay.

UPDATE: I need heeeeeelp... My characters are in an unwinnable situation. So, they're a group of kids who can morph into other animals. They just discovered a weapon that will kill them if they try to morph. They need to destroy it, but they can't while in human form. Ideas?

61 - Well, I know you're Jewish, so you might not believe the same thing . . . but at least my beliefs are that people didn't really evolve. xD They were always like this - it was only society that evolved.

Although, it is an important thing to note that we don't have anything in the Bible about alien life forms . . . so anyway, I agree. I think there are aliens.

75 - She pwns.

76 - And so do you!!

Oooh . . . for Annie Morphs, maybe the gun has a sort of glitch, or one of them has a glitch that lets them get around it - like Tobias, since he's a hawk, or Cassie because she's, like, special?
