Frozen Vegetables

In some families they use ice packs. Some go to the doctor. In my family, we just like to use frozen vegetables.

We used to have ice packs, back when my two eldest sisters lived in the house. They were both competitive athletes and Ne-Ce had a tendency to tumble into concrete walls. But after they left, all our ice packs got busted, and the frozen vegetables were born. Now, whenever something is swollen, somebody says, "go grab some frozen corn/broccoli/greens from the freezer." So far, frozen vegetables have done their duty on needle-pierced knee joints, twisted ankles, fractured toes, broken toes, busted heads, and nail-pierced thumbs. Needless to say, we have a thing for getting hurt... But with frozen corn, who needs the doctor? :)

Randomness

I haven't posted anything in a while. Attack of the Chemistry Tests and all that :) Pretty much all I've done this year is study for the ACT which is *gulp* next month, edit novels, and read. And I've been trying to come up with a present for my sister, Lizzy, who just turned eighteen on the tenth. I feel like this should be an extra awesome present, since eighteen is such a huge birthday and I really want to make it special for her.

On another note, I watched the movie Inkheart, which I loved. I'm halfway through the book, and I'll finish it whenever I can figure out where I left it last. And I'm waiting for the book Eona: Dragoneye Reborn to come out. The first book, Eon, is my new favorite book.

I decided to play some sort of ball sport this year, although I can't decide between basketball, soccer, or football. Football would be so much fun. Everybody always tells me I should play basketball because I'm so tall. Soccer, on the other hand, just looks fun, but I have the least experience playing that.

On a random note, has anybody heard anything about the movie Toy Story 3?

Total Randomness

I am soooo bored. I read all my books. I finished the summer reading program. I cleaned my room a thousand times. My computer at the house is so slow I can’t stand using it. I’ve been watching way too many movies lately so I am on a movie fast. I think I’ve listened to every song I own about a bajillion times. So that leaves me with these options.

1) Edit my book
2) Practice piano
3) Read books
4) Write some more
5) Haven’t figured it out yet

Speaking of the summer reading program, I got a jump drive for reading ten hours. Getting stuff for reading is as close to getting something for nothing as you can get. And that reminds me. Mom is wiping her hard drive so I have to take all my stuff off her computer and put it on a disk. I remember she wiped my computer two years ago but I didn’t take all my stuff off in time and there went three years of writing. I was pretty upset at the time but since I couldn’t even remember what she’d wiped, I decided it couldn’t be that important. I doubled what I’d already had in a few months anyway. And it’s probably better this way. Some of the stuff I used to write makes me cringe it was so awful. And talk about grammatical mistakes… Mom is a teacher and it’s a good thing she never read any of that stuff. She’d run out of red pens.

Number One

This feels totally weird. Huh, I’ll have to get used to this. Nobody ever reads what I write. Partly because I put passwords on everything because I have this fear that somebody will delete everything. It all goes back to when my mom wiped the computer and I lost every story, every poem, every little word that I’d typed for the past five or six years.

Right, so. Gabrielle is my name. This is my blog. It’s pretty much like a blank wall at the moment and as my internet access is severely limited that’s probably not going to change too soon. But anyhow, here goes for this whole blogging thing.
