We are studying astronomy in science, and Mr. D is using this computer program called Astronomicon. A professor at UGA made it. Mr. D helped with testing so he got a free copy. Unfortunately, it is not for sale yet. Mr. D said he would like Bill Gates to buy it, perfect it, and publicize it and everything because it is a really great program. What you can do is create your own solar system (I think the milky way is preprogrammed on there) and see the effect things like sunlight, a planet’s tilt, and different kind of orbits have. We were able see what causes seasons, why the moon has 8 stages, and manipulate the things. You can view your solar system from many different angles or even from the perspective of one of the planets or stars. There are also some other fun impossible things you can do, like see what it would be like if a planet was a cube or cylinder. You can also play around with the shape of an orbit or even the texture of a planet. In fact, you could put a picture of yourself on a planet (or star). There is tons more to do on this program. It was fun to mess around with and a great learning experience.

Every Friday night, my friends and I go to Big Green Pete’s Mini Golf. There are 4 holes and you get 43 strokes to get the ball in the hole. I always pick a wooden ball, for good luck. I like to use a cheap putter that’s about the size of a pirate. All of the holes have really square decorations. The 3rd hole is my favorite . It has a 2 foot tall giraffe with lumpy legs that you have to crawl under. One time it took me 65 minutes to do it! the 4th hole has a big shiny windmill. If you can make your ball dance, you when a free pencil and get your picture taken with Pete!

Today, while we were driving to church for confession, we noticed that nobody was driving on the other side of the road. Instead, cars were all parked along the side. Nobody on our side was doing that… I asked my mom to turn down the radio so we could hear if there were any sirens. We soon found out that was not the case because we saw a police car (sirens off) pull over to the side. We kept driving along, and all up and down the road cars were parked on the side. We kept driving along guessing what it could be. It was like something out of a movie… Then we turned the corner, and the people who were on the other side of the road were driving! Can you guess what it was?

Meet the Literals, all the boys in my probe science class who are the smartiest smart-panted-alecs you have ever met. I, being as silly as I am, make a few jokes here and there. I have learned that you can not do that around these… “people”. (Ahem, robots.) Because of my joking, the Literals believe that I think rocks are eroded by chocolate and love. It all started when we were learning about weathering and erosion…

Mr. D was showing us a slide show of stones.

“Look how these rocks were weathered by water and made smooth.”

Me, “Why are they on chocolate?” (honestly, they were, and I just wanted to explore deeper).

Mr. D and class begin laughing, I have no idea why that was funny, but whatever.

Mr D, “Gurrrl, rocks aren’t weathered by chocolate.”

“I know,” I said, and then he went on because he obviously had misinterpreted what I said.

“What made these rocks smooth?” up came a slide that had rocks with water rushing over them. Well that was obvious since Mr. D just told us that. Opportunity for a joke:

“Love!” I said.

“Hahahaha!” the class laughs.

“Gurrrrrrl, where are you?” Mr. D says.

“You are so stupid Kelly!”

GASP! I was astounded! I am not dumb! I was kidding people, ok? Not even Mr. D got the joke!

Now, months later, this experience still haunts me. I raise my hand to answer a question and out from behind me one of the Literals will burst, “Oh no, not Kelly! She is gonna say love! She’s dumb!”

“Kelly is not dumb, she’s a very bright girl,” Mr. D will defend me. That is true, I make better grades than some of these Literals. I don’t say dumb things, but I guess my joking is taken this way. Maybe science isn’t my very BEST subject, but I don’t make Cs in it like SOME of the people in the class.

Anyways, I showed them all by dominating this debate we had. It didn’t help.

“Kelly actually said something smart?!?!” –Literals

Whatever, I can’t stand how immature people can be.

Our house is turning yellow! One day, i came home from school and the upstairs hallway was “Lemon Yellow”! the front hallway (?), if that’s what you call it, is a work in progress. Once this hideous, bland pink, now yellow. Actually, I think it looks pretty good. It makes the rooms look much bigger. If my calculations are correct, our house is precisely. 33.33333333333333333333333333333331% yellow now. Cool! Next is the living room and kitchen, they’re going to be green! You guys aren’t even going to recognize the place by the time we’re through! Oh, and my room is (was) clean! yay!

I was outside taking pictures for a project for school, and look what I found!!

Somebody waiting for their prom date? This guy doesn’t have a license. Clyde looks adorable in a bow tie!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We celebrated New Years Eve day in downtown ATL. First we rode over on the MARTA and went to Centennial Park where we ice skated. Then we ate at the CNN building and went to watch the Sugar Bowl Parade. We got back home in time to make sundaes, watch the ABC New Year’s Special (which was terrible, by the way). Then we watched the peach fall and went outside to bang pots&pans, and blow horns. I shared my new years kiss with Clyde (tee-hee, on the ear), who was struggling to get away. I wish everyone a Happy New Year, and to a bright 2006.

Bratz dolls vs. Barbies?

Who won? Excellent question, the answer lies within the evidence below.

The treaty says:

Treaty of Barbie

Let it be known from this day forward Barbies win! Bratz shall forever be our slaves and we will be the models, not them.

Ken

Tour Guide Barbie

Chloe Bratz

It was a gruesome war. One Brat got trampled by 3 Barbies on a horse. Another got smooshed by a rock impersonating a bumblebee. Another had her arm ripped off and was hung upside-down. Ken tore off this one girls pants and started waving them around, so she was tied to a wall wearing the treaty. Then there was a girls who had her hair tied to a giant twist-a-braid, and was twisted around endlessly. The girl barbies were all dressed in pink and purple, looking fabulous… and the Bratz turned out to be somewhat naked. The only fully-naked one was covered by the treaty though. Oh yeah, and almost all the bratz lost their feet. That concludes the Bratz vs. Barbie War.

No humans were harmed in the making of this war. Ok… maybe one.

There are new hopkins on lostfrog.org! Although they are now set to show at random, so it takes several clicks to see a new one. You can’t type in an end number anymore. I saw one similar to Eric’s Albert Einstein one, with pit albert in it, and in color…. and there was more writing, but he might have gotten the idea from eric. There are a few pretty funny ones. I would check it out.
