Apparently I sleep too deep. Last night, in the middle of the night, my sisters were trying to wake me up to tell me something I'd never expected. Instead, I found out this morning while grabbing something out of the fridge. I was asking what there was to eat for breakfast.
"Well," my mom answered, unaware I didn't know. "We're going out to get some food for Uncle Mike's funeral."
I didn't think much of it. But then I turned around. Almost spun into the fridge door.
"Uncle Mike's funera
Last night I went out with my folks to see the new Prince Caspian movie. It was amazing, to say the least. I don't really want to post a review for you guys, but I don't want to reveal any spoilers. So when I say you'll love the part at the end that you see coming the whole movie, you'll have to take my word for it. Actually, there was a song at the end of the movie which I liked a lot. It's called "The Call" (talk about irony) by Regina Spektor. It's calm, so nothing special. But it's unique a
Happy Memorial Day, people who actually read my blog. (And who actually live in the United States. For those of you who don't live in the United States, this might be a little more boring than usual for you.) Most of us just recognize this holiday because we get off school one extra day before it ends. And that's true, that is a good reason for this holiday. But it's not the real reason. Memorial Day is a day where we honor those who died in action for our country. So today, I highly encourage y
As of 8:32:47 Central Time (Chicago), I am officially fifteen. I'm posting this right now, because technically it's the last...now twelve minutes...of my actually birthday. It was pretty amazing, if I do say so myself. Friends, cake, gifts, and even some reflecting. With age comes wisdom, after all.
So, my question of the day, or more so night, is what was one of your most memorable birthdays, and what made it like that? Comments and replies go in the reply box down below. This is Taki, wishi
This morning, for once in a million days, I'm stuck at home with a fever. Nothing severe, but it was strong enough to crash me yesterday. I decided to stay home from school so I could recuperate. As I was semi-sleeping on the couch (meowing kittens outside were keeping me up - more on those cuties later), I got a text from my good friend who moved out to LA recently.
"Did u hear the news bout steven curtis chapmans daughter?"
That's what my friend asked me. Naturally I replied no and waite
I've been awake for a while now.
You've got me feeling like a child now.
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face,
I get the tingles in a silly place.
It starts in my toes,
And I crinkle my nose.
Wherever it goes I'll always know,
That you make me smile.
Please stay for a while now.
Just take your time,
Wherever you go.

This is actually a song that is special to me. I'm sure a lot of you know it. If not, go and look for it.
No question of t
Oh my gosh. You won't believe this. My uncle came up to me as everyone was leaving my party today, and handed me a very...very late birthday present. A beautiful, polished, new guitar with five picks, a chord progressor, a set of extra strings, and something to help install them. I've got a friend spending the night, so I'll post pics tomorrow.
