I have free time.
I feel like I don't, but truely, I just use bits and pieces of it not doing anything worthwhile, or putting off my homework.
So I SHOULD be going to bed at 9. I end up going to sleep around 10 or 10:30. My homework is managable. If I did it all when i came home, I would probably have a few hours of free time.
But no. Instead of put off my homework to do somthing pointless, like surf the internet. I tell myself that if i do one piece of homework, then i can have an unreasonaly large break. And i end up having wasted bits of freetime. I feel like i don't have any at all, because i spend the very end of my night finishing homework. (Or i finish it in the 45 minutes between church and school every morning.)
I really need to disipline myself.
Here's hoping that you don't fell into the procrastination cycles. :)

Of Soccer and Pajama Sam
If you haven't noticed, I really like children's TV shows.
Well I also like children's video games. When i was little, I played TONS of games. I don't know if that's normal for a child, but i LOVED to play on the computer.
When I was in seventh grade, we had a mold contamination, and a LOT of our stuff got packed away in boxes while people came and replaced carpets and knocked out walls and such. I had sort of forgotten about this, or at least.....not cared enough, because I didn't think to acctually start unpacking the boxes until yesterday. And my main motivation for that was Pajama Sam.
I mainly loved the video games by Humongeous Entertainment. My mom and I would play Freddi Fish, Spy Fox, and Pajama Sam ALL THE TIME. I remembered Pajama Sam, and really wanted to play it again, but my mom told me it was in one of the boxes stored away. So yesterday we went down and I looked through all the boxes stored in our cargo van. In the very back box on the bottom, I found a bunch of books and CDs, so we brought it inside, along with two others.
In this box we found TONS of my childhood video games, most importantly Pajama Sam 2 and 3, and Spy Fox 3. I'm sure somewhere, buried in other boxes, there are more of my old games, (specificly PS 1 and 4, spy fox 1 and 2, and all my Freddi fish games) but I'm really happy I found them.
I beat PS 3 last night, (I had to talk it through with my mom) PS 2 this morning, and my mom and I both played Spy Fox together and beat it just now. What is amazingly awesome about these games is that the game changes every time you play it. You can choose (Or have it randomly chosen) the elements of the game, and it's really cool. I could no longer remember perfectly how to do it, I had to think it through.
I still really like all of these games. I want to dress up as Pajama Sam for 'Favorite Charecter Day' at school. First I need to find/make a blue one-si.
In other news, I joined a new soccer league for 14-17 year olds, and we had a scrimage match today. Our uniforms are red! I've had a blue uniform in all my soccer leagues, and I'm glad for the change. XD We lost the scrimage 5 to 0....
I didn't practice soccer at ALL this summer (Well, other than juggeling games and maybe a play match with some guys and my cousins) and I feel like I did really badly. I mean, I was OK, and i made and ok shot at the goal (On one of the few times we got it on their side of the field) and ran really hard, but I am OUT OF SHAPE.
There were times where I felt I could hardly breath. I felt like i couldn't take enough air in, and like I do when we play a pressuring game, I sort of broke down. I started crying because I felt so bad, and...eugh. I have a problem with doing that. I had a meltdown at our final game on my school team. I really hate losing, and I don't like feeling like i'm doing badly. But It was fine, I guess, because it was only a scrimage. The other team has a lot of older players, and I feel confident that we will get a LOT better.

High School Storms
So if that earthquake wasn't enoguh, we're having Hurricane Irene. I'm pretty inland, but it's still storming a lot outside. Really windy. Also, I started high school yesterday.
For once, I was acctually a little disapointed. I like summer. :) There wasn't a big switch though, since i'm in middle/high school combined. I keep thinking last year was 7th grade. But it was 8th. This is crazy! XD I can't get used to it.
I'm really excited about Photography I. I find it really neat when I start a class knowing absolutly NOTHING about the subject. I don't know much anything about film and developing it. It sounds so cool! We were practicing going in and out of the dark room without exposing the film, and this one guy had the idea of holding one eye shut before going in. It apparently ajusts the one eye to the darkness, and you can see REALLY well (Out of one eye) in the dark.
Sounds good. Adios!

The Earth Begins to Shake
Mmkay, so apparently there was an earthquake today. Where I live. All of my friends are writing all over the internet, saying that it was really scary and it shook them.
I didn't feel a thing. No matter how scary it was, I really wish i had. My neighbor felt it! I didn't!
Okay, so at one point i heard something, or maybe i felt it, and thought that my cat was scratching herself REALLY loudly and hard. I guess that was it. I feel a little lame now, for not noticing it as an earthquake. I hope no one got hurt from it.

Dreamworks!
Lately, I love Dreamworks Animation.
My friends are all really big fans of the old Disney movies, but comparitivly, I just think that lately Dreamworks is so much better! Even if they're from books, i think that the storylines are so origanal! And the special effects are amazing. I really like the CGI.
The main reason I've come to think of this is beacausof two particuar movies.
How to Train your Dragon was my favorite movie ever! I saw the end of it on a display TV when I went shopping with my mom at "Sam's Club". We went out and bought it right afterwards. I love it so much! I even added designs to a hat to make it into "Toothless". (It's in a post on here about Summer) I drew tons of pictures, and I just LOVED it. I was obsessed for ages.
Then, this past Saturday, I saw "Megamind". Oddly enough, I also saw this one on a display TV at "Sam's Club". I didn't see the ending or beginning, but I saw a huge chunk out of the middle. Tons of it. We went out and rented it that day, and watched it as well. Since i had seen most of it already at the store, it didn't have a huge affect on me, like HtTyD did. I watched it by myself on the computer later that day, and I really loved it. It just grew on me, really fast. On Monday (It was due on Sunday, but we kept it too long...) I watched it again. I watched it with the comentary (Which was hilarioius. I was stunned at how short the movie seemed with it.) and I really liked it. My mom had to take it back that night on her way out, but I managed to watch it half-way through again before she did.
I just love it! I have lots and lots of art work I've done of the charecters.....It's still in my sketchbook.
So after these two movies, I'm thinking I'd like to work for Dreamworks. It would be great if I could make someone feel happy through a creation like those. I think if I worked there, I'd be a storyboard artist, since the graphic element doesn't really seem my type of thing. (Actually, It sounds great, but I don't know how to do that sort of thing...) I'm not sure if story board art fits me either, but it's the only thing I can think of that I think I'd be good at. I just really think working for Dreamworks would be awesome!
Also, the logo of Dreamworks is SO CUTE!
I just think the music and the little animation is just so adorable. Plus, the name, dreamworks just sounds so....Dreamy!
Also, my dad took me out to see "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" a couple days ago. It was rated PG13, but I'm the kind of girl who pretty much watches cartoons and, well, basically PG rated movie (And Harry Potter) most of the time. So this movie was totally terifying for me! I cried for half and hour after I watched it. I just thought it was horrible! I have a couple of friends who like (or LOVE) scary movies, and so my problem probably seemed really weird to them, but I was really upset by it. And when we were driving home from the theater, I just really wanted to watch "Megamind". Animated movies just help me to feel better sometimes. Like this one time where I was sick and cranky, watching "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genious" made me feel so much better!
So, basically, I really like animated movies, and I think it's a nice idea to work for Dreamworks when I grow up.
The End.
"How to Train your Dragon" and "Megamind" (c) Dreamworks.
"Jimmy Neutron" (c) Nickelodeon
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" (c) Rupert Wyatt (He's the Director, so....)
