November Thanks

There is a lot I need to be thankful for.  I am thankful to God for giving me life and bringing happiness into my teenage life.  Mom and Dad are thankful to God, too, because He has blessed them with a kind and loving daughter.  I am thankful to be my parents because they give me food and shelter, drive me where I need to go, come support me and give me something I want.  At school, I am thankful to my teachers and my peers.  They can be a nuisance at times, but I need to know they want to help.

I should also be to my 18 year old sister Meg.  We may have our differences, but I know she really cares about me.  When I am at home, I am eternally grateful to my beloved puppy Scooter because he likes to play and sleep with me.  In my life, I am also thankful to my enormous and loving family, even my two widowed grandmothers.  One of my grandmothers lives in a condominium in Carroll, while the other lives in Beatrice, Nebraska.  I should be grateful because they treat me tenderly and know what is best for me, like my parents.

Finally, I am especially grateful for my uniqueness and my talents.  God has made me a very special young lady.  I have been very good at being kind and helpful to other people, and also playing the piano.  And that makes other people happy and love me in return.

A Brand New App

If I could invent any new App at all, it would be an iScan.  iScans are used to scan any unfamiliar words or phrases in a book, brochure, pamphlet, or study guide.  They also come in handy for scanning information on your iPad, iPhone, iTouch, or iPod nano.  Not only does it scan, but it gains you access to your iTunes music program.  You can download new songs and add them to iTunes.  iScan is an expensive new form of technology that can help you out when you are blogging/texting.

It will take a very long time for the iScan to be developed, but it will really improve your life.  You can charge your new iScan on your Apple Stereo.  Plus, it has a GPS, calendar, notepad, song shuffle, stopwatch, trash, a place to store your blogs, programs and documents, and other features on your computer desktop or MP3 Player.  If you can afford an iScan, you can download your favorite music onto it.  No one knows when the iScan will be ready to use.  When the iScan is ready for use, you can do anything from scanning new words to listening to your music to watching videos on YouTube to texting to your closest friends to looking up things.

Halloween 2011

Monday is Halloween.  The past Halloweens, I recall dressing up as a princess, Baby Bop from "Barney", a pink bunny,  a poodle skirt girl from the 1950's, an alien, and Belle.  I still have my alien costume; you know, green alien mask, black cape, and trench coat.  This year I am in my teens, so I am much too old to go trick-or-treating.  The scariest movie I know is John Carpenter's Halloween.  Rob Zombie directed a remake, but the 1978 version of Halloween was way better because of the quality.

Speaking of which, we went out to eat in Grand Junction a few weekends ago.  I had a pizza burger, and I noticed a Michael Myers figure.  There is a purple button between his feet; when you press it, he starts moving.  My favorite Halloween movie is Halloween 4, when Michael snaps out of a ten-year coma and stalks his young niece Jamie in the haunted mid-western town of Haddonfield, Illinois.  Michael was so lifelike, I couldn't stand getting close to him.  Mom and I had our picture taken with this figure.

Villisca, Iowa, is the birthplace of the notorious axe murders.  We drove by the house on our way to Earth, Wind and Fire's concert.  Josiah Moore and Sara Montgomery married on December 6, 1899.  Their four children were Hermann, Paul, Katherine, and Boyd.  In June 1912, the family were brutally axed to death.  Ina and Lena Stillinger were invited to spend the night at the Moore residence.  As soon as everyone was asleep, the intruder took an axe and first killed Sara and Josiah.  Then he bludgeoned the children in the heads, just like their parents.
