Ken Jennings lost. I’m so sad. Read it here.

I gave the purse I made to Katie today. She got lots of comments (all good) on it already. Yay! I included some nice pictures of it. Hey, if you want one, I’d glady sell you one for $15. Not even kidding.

Yeah. Front, back, top, the strap, and me. The last one is just because I like taking pictures in mirrors. Check out the socks (thanks to the Dollar Deal) and the double pant thing going on. Awesome. Love it, dahling.

Spanish was extra hilarious today. I said outloud: Para el día de gracias, mi familia y yo comimos la cena. Pero yo comí muchas papas porque no me gusta pavo. Liz Polvino didn’t understand and asked me a really stupid question, which I didn’t dignify with a response. Instead, I gave her my classic, “you’re an idiot” look. The whole class cracked up. Hilarious, really.

I handed in my science project today. She thought it was cool and showed the class. Did I tell you it lights up? Well, it does. Too cool. Most definetly A work. Hopefully.

Greg… *drools*. Yum. I am seriously freaking laughing out loud.

Yikes, got to go to bed! G’night New York (and everyone else)!

I went to my grandparent’s house in Pennsylvania on Friday. It’s like a 6 hour drive there. I read The Grim Grotto on the way there, but I finished in like 3 hours. So I just listened to my iPod and slept. We stopped for lunch at Subway, I got a chicken teriyaki sub. We got there at about 5. We unpacked and ate dinner. Then pie, yum. We played some poker and then watched Joan of Arcadia and JAG. Liz and I went to bed at like 1 after we watched a ton of cable TV, yay! The next day we woke up and ate breakfast and watched some TV. My dad and I walked around the block, the weather was actually pretty nice. It’s been raining off and on for a few days. After lunch we went to a flea market. It was pretty boring, it was just a bunch of junk. But we bought Pirates of the Caribbean, score! Today we went home, we left at 10. We only stopped once to use the bathroom. I slept almost the whole time. Nothing to read this time. We got home and I petted Hoover, I missed him. I lost my top retainer, I think it fell out of my pocket when we stopped at the gas station. My mom wasn’t that mad, I’m going to the orthodontist on Tuesday so I can get a new one then. If I even need it, I’ve been wearing it for a year and a half. I hate that thing.

X-MAS LIST ‘04
• new iPod earphones- the small kind that’ll fit in my pocket
• more badge-a-minitt buttons

‘Cause the man said, “That’s the way it is.”
And the man said, “It don’t get better than this.

Be back Sunday.

I am so sorry Dad. I got all worked up about nothing. I got in bed and everything after writing that last post but I got right back out and started up my computer to write you an apology. But you came in right then and apologized to me. I’m sorry that I got upset. You said not to be sorry, but I am. I’m proud of my grades, and thanks for being proud of them too.

SPANISH 3- A: MODEL STUDENT
DSK TP/WEB SITE- A: DOING EXCELLENT WORK

Well, I was really really proud of my report card when I got it. It’s the best I’ve done in a really long time. Only one B. So I showed to my dad. I thought that he’d think it was really good. But he just asked me about the B. It made me feel really crappy. He and my mom apologized, but now I feel really stupid. I know I shouldn’t, but I do. The only reactions I’ve gotten today are that I’m better than everyone, which I’m not, or I should have gotten an A in English. English is especially difficult to me. It’s all analyzing and stuff, which I can’t do. I see things mathematically, scientifically. Poems and metaphors just confuse me. And that’s all English is. I hate myself right now. I can’t do anything right. Don’t comment on this post, I don’t want to hear it.

Yay! It’s so cool! It’s sort of difficult to get the hang of, but now I’m an expert. I already made all 25 of my buttons. More aren’t coming for a week or so. I’m wearing 6 right now. I’m charging 50 cents a button, not really any profit. But it’s all for fun. And I made a button that says “50 cents each or 6 for $5″. Some idiot will pay the $5, I just know it. Ha ha. My other buttons say: “Happy Thanksgiving”, “My button maker is freaking awesome”, “one time, this hummingbird got stuck in the skylight”, and one with stars on it. I heart buttons! Oh man.

We did tae bo in PE today, but I didn’t really do it correctly because I’m a freaking klutz. We had a sub and we watched a video on it. The sub was obviously gay and was wearing a very nice outfit. He did the stuff with us. Hilarious. Dinah and I made up our own move: the swimming move. It’s like swimming above water, major laughs.

I can’t believe I have school tomorrow. Darn Jewish holidays screwing up our school’s schedule. Oye.

Dear Mom & Dad & Liz
I got to camp safly. We watched “The Fox and The Hound” on the bus. I love and kisses

Dinah’s house was pretty awesome. I left the house at 6 and then found out I was getting a ride with Katie so my mom pulled over and I switched cars. We played Monopoly when we got there until 11ish. We ate a whole large pizza while we played! Then Dinah and I played spit, in which I won. We watched some weird 80s show and went to bed at 12 ish. I was pretty freaking tired. I had to share a bed with Katie and she stole all the blankets the whole night. The cat meowed all night too. And it slept on my pillow until Katie took it off. Darn cat…

*Katie knocks into lamp*
Lanni: Watch out, the lamp is falling!
*The lamp falls gracefully onto the futon, noiselessly and doesn’t break*
Laughing my freaking head off :)

The next morning was the best part. We made pancakes but when it came time to eat them, we couldn’t get the syrup bottle to open. After trying for a long time, I casually mentioned that if I couldn’t get something opened, I’d ask my neighbor. Dinah and Katie thought this was brilliant and we got ready to go outside, even though it was raining outside. We tried next-door, but no one was home. We walked to another house but Dinah said “Uh, I don’t think we should go there, I here angry shouting.” So we went to a different house, this one because there was a Israeli flag in the window. The lady there invited us inside and tried to get the top off with a knife. When she said “I’ll try with a knife” in her funny Jewish accent, we all stepped back a foot. The knife didn’t work so she tried a bazillion different methods until it finally came off. Yay! Pancakes!
We got our pictures taken at Lollypop farm today with Hoover. He’s so cute. He was such a good bunny. I heart him!

Thanksgiving is Friday. I don’t have school on Thursday and Friday, yay! Grr, school.
