Subject: Fw: proofreading is a dying art

Proofreading is a dying art, wouldn't you say? Man Kills Self Before Shooting Wife and Daughter This one I caught in the SGV Tribune the other day and called the Editorial Room and asked who wrote this. It took two or three readings before the editor realized that what he was reading was impossible!!! They put in a correction the next day. I just couldn't help but send this along. Too funny...

Almost Done...

I'm going to be finishing 11th grade by Sunday...
yyyep...

(The reason I'm getting done so early is because I went ahead in my school planner and did two weeks of school every week instead of just one.)

Once I finish 11th grade, my plan is to get a permit and a part-time job, start 12th grade 'asap', keep up with it over the Summer (doing two weeks a week), graduate in July or August, get my license, and then get a full-time job and begin to REALLY draw the blue-print for my life.

Pretty simple, right?
....HECK NO! I'm scared to death! Lol  ;)

I don't think college is in my future (in case you're wondering). What I want is to use my talents (art, writing, etc') in ways that do not require a degree, and that share them with other people for pleasure more than just for money$$$.
Of course I hope to make a fair amount of moo-la in whatever my "calling" turns out to be ("heh-heh")... but I feel like my life is supposed to be drawn out in ways that give off more good to other people than just to myself.
......My thoughts anyway. :)

I also don't want to have to pay for and live in a specific place for a number of years when I can just use and share my talents for free right where I am... and still make a living off of it.

High-school is almost over for me.
Gees-oh-man...that's a creepy thought... !!!
I remember how I used to play "teen-age-er" when I was six or seven years old; pretending what I would be and how I would act once I reached the age of fifteen or up. Well...my 17th birthday is in July..................... kinda' wish I could play "kinder-garten" all over again... :)

Seven Lies about Homeschoolers

I got a big kick out of this.
Everything he says is 100% true. I've had tons of people ask me some of these questions (if not all of them) !!!

(Laugh it up...homeschooling rocks! ;)

New Miniseries

I really like this miniseries.

North and South

Elizabeth Gaskell's classic explores the simmering, restrained passion between two very different people who fall in love in spite of themselves.

Set against the backdrop of Victorian England's industrial north, it follows the fortunes of Margaret Hale, one of 19th century literature's most original heroines.
Played by Daniela Denby-Ashe, Margaret is a privileged, middle class southerner who is forced to settle in the northern town of Milton.

Margaret takes instant offence to the town and its people. She becomes terribly lonely and hates the dirt, noise and lack of civilisation, blaming their new way of life for her mother's ailing health.

Her distaste for the town and its people extends to handsome and charismatic cotton mill owner John Thornton, (Richard Armitage), whom she believes epitomises everything she dislikes about the North.

However, Margaret gradually begins to settle in Milton. Her social conscience awakens and she befriends some of the local mill workers, learning about their poverty and workplace struggles.

As events conspire to throw Margaret and Thornton together, the two spirited characters have to overcome their repressed physical attraction for one another and conquer prejudices of class and circumstance.

This little miniseries really get my attention. I have no idea why....sometimes I feel like a 6 year old kid again. Heh-heh...(that's an 'ok' thing, right? I'm not totally insane?)

First it was "The A-Team", next "Robinhood", then "Merlin", and finally "Macgyver", and now...... "North and South" has stolen my attention! :)

There's only four episodes, but, you know...a good movie is a good movie so why not watch it? * * *

Oooh!

This is so cool-lookin'!

An Answer I can Understand...

A tourist in a bar in Florida asks a man sitting at the bar: 

"Why do Scuba divers always fall backwards off their boats?" 

 
To which the man replies: 

 

"If they fell forwards, they'd still be in the boat".

2012!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while.

.................please don't hate me. Lol

We were all on Christmas break so I didn't really have time to sit down at the computer.
I know....you're thinking "well, Christmas BREAK means you have nothing BUT time!".....but that wasn't the case with my family :)
We were traveling almost all week visiting friends and family so I wasn't really home to sit down at all. Lol
But, anyway, I'm back now! And I guess the first thing I should say is:

"HAPPY NEW YEAR"!!!!!!!!!
2012 is here!
2011 has floated away in the waves of the past and the new year has made its entrance!
(Gun-shots, pots and pans and lots of yelling made sure it was announced properly in my house...LOL ;)

I have learned so much from this past year of 2011.
I've learned to/that :

1) Have more patience when it comes to wild brothers
2) Love Eye-liner
3) Like coffee
4) Enjoy cold weather
5) Appreciate soap and water after playing "last man down" with mud-clots
6) Ignore humiliation and embarrassment
7) Have fun in everything I do
8) Welcome challenges
9) Run when Jake is grumpy
10) Not to wear flip-flops in a dog field
11) Bee stings hurt :(
12) Kick-butt at Mario, Guitar Hero and Gunmayhem
13) Quiet is good, but noise is more practical/reality
14) How to really EAT (heh-heh)
15) If you climb a tree...you're going to  have to find a way back down
16) I have a lot in common with puppies
17) Doctors are my friends
18) Dentists are really evil aliens sent from space to hide tiny objects in my teeth and paint them yellow
19) You can do a lot with glue, paper and elbow macaroni :)

...And SO much more.....but I won't bore you with the details. :)

Well..... This year a lot is in store for me. Here's a few little things hidden around the bend:

My license
My Graduation (I'm doing school over the Summer)
My 17th birthday
And hopefully a JOB if I an find one. Lol


Thanks for everything 2011!
2012......I hope you're ready for me!


(HAVE A GOOD NEW  YEAR EVERYONE!)
