I have not posted here for a really, really long time, so it's time for a..... Ketchup Post! I haven't been posting because of (duh duh duh...) BOOK REPORTS! (Enter Toccata in Fugue and lightning streaks....) OK, it wasn't that bad. So, here's the recap, starting with our trip to Maryland.....
Before we left Maryland, Cousin Studios got a great new section of movies: Webcam! Our cousins have an awesome webcam with all these cool effects like avatars, snow, and the ability to draw on videos. We started a new movie series called The M Show where we disscuss the arts, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, balloon fights, and mysterious indoor blizzards. (Don't ask.) Plus, when we were about to leave, I got loaned Mario Kart! Only the most awesome video game ever! Then we drove home and school started up again......
Although we were pressured with 9 Weeks Tests, quizzes, Book Reports, reading logs, and more, we still found time to start new fads. Eraser City and The Lays Boycott Club died down (stay tuned for the rest of the story!), and in their place sprang up....
The JBBC (Justin Bieber Boycott Club). We all hated this music "star" so much that we decided to boycott him! In between talking about his awfulness, we make up song parodies about him (Justin Bieber has rabies, rabies, rabies, OH!).
Paper Skateboarding. Laney's friend K loves real skateboarding, but after playing with a Post-It in math class, he got an idea to make paper skateboards. We fold Post-Its, draw cool designs on them, and then use everyday objects as half pipes, railings, and obstacle courses. K even has a popular bartering business where he trades skateboards for Mentos, and he is thinking about selling skateboards through the school store.
Flipbooks. Yet another fad involving Post-Its, flipbook making has become an art. It all started with K's friend D, the Post-It guru, and began circling its way around other GT classmates. I have made several, including ones about a marathoner, people crushing Lays bags, and archery practice.
Comics. I wrote a graphic novel about the Lays Boycott Club (the sequel is coming soon!), and this fad was born! Before long, there were comics about everything, from erasers to a typical day at middle school.
Then, there was the GA fundraiser. At the end of the month, I had 7 duckies (not counting the X-Ray duck I lost) and 11 subscriptions- enough to go to the Mega Party and get VIP status! Thank you Mom and Dad for doing Christmas shopping to help our school! Everybody claimed it was a ripoff- but they were wrong. There were 6 inflatables, including an obstacle course, jousting ring, giant-scale game involving a wrecking ball(again,don't ask), and the "sticky wall." Not to mention soda and the opportunity for VIPs to beat the crowds and arrive 25 MINUTES EARLY! WOO WOO!
Also, some good news... I'm going to a forensics competition! I am in the category Serious Poetry and I am looking forward to competing.
So, that concludes yet another..... Ketchup Post!
Blog Ya Later!
P.S. Thank you, Laney, for spreading the word and getting your friends to read. It was getting quiet around here!
I WISH this is what it looked like this year! But no, everything is still snowless. Global warming?! (This picture is from 2010.)
