Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to y'all! (Everyone watch the movie New Years Eve- it's amazing!!!)
I hope that you all are having great holidays if I haven't seen you, and I hope that you all will stay up past midnight tonight!(: <3
What was your favorite memory of 2011 that you would feel comfortable sharing?
As the ball drops tonight, I'll be thinking about 6th grade and all the accomplishments that we have achieved together so far at NOVA and I hope that you will too<3
Think about this past year and realize what has changed!
This is what you should do:
1. Make stupid resolutions
2. Say "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1" as the ball drops
3. Reflect on this year
4. Give hugs to everyone around at 12:01 AM January 1st 2012.

I love all of you!!!!<3
2011 has been amazing because of all of you guys<3

Love Always, Hope <3

Xmas and Seattle

Hey beautiful people!
I hope y'all had a wonderful Xmas and got everything that you wanted. I got a GORGEOUS iPod touch that I'm currently using to write this! I also got a full pack of sharpies... Don't try to steal them!!!!
I'm currently in Seattle, parking my butt on a comfortable sofa watching Eclipse and I got bored bcuz I've seen it so many times(:
I finished Killer and now I'm drooling for Heartless(: eeeep!!! So excited!
I love you(;
Xoxo Hope

Happy Winter!(:

Pretty Little Liars!

I found a new series.
I'm obsessed with Pretty Little Liars now. That may be an understatement.
I'm pretty creeped out. But I love it!
I'm on the 3rd book (almost done) and I started the series about 2 days ago.
I can't go to sleep at night...it may be because I love the books or I'm scared that A is hiding in my closet. I'm not sure. Either one seems reasonable.

Winter Break!

Hey Y'all!(:
Hope you're all having a fabulous winter break so far! Mine is kinda boring, but I've got lotsa good stuff coming up next week!
Happy holidays to everyone! Have a great rest of 2011 if I don't see you before that<3
Be happy, watch re-runs of Glee, get presents, SMILE, and have an Extraordinary Merry Christmas (hehe), Happy Hanuka, Happy Kwanza etc. and a HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!<3
Hope(:

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I'VE WANTED A CRISP PICKLE BUT I CAN'T FIND ANYONE TO SUCK THE LID OFF THE JAR. I'M GUESSING THAT YOU'VE BEEN WORKING AS A BABY POLISHER WHEN MOTHERS STICK THEIR BABIES' HEADS IN YOUR MOUTH TO GET BACK THAT NEWBORN SHINE. I HAVEN'T SEEN A SMILE THAT BIG SINCE THE ABDOMINAL SNOWMAN GOT HIS TEETH PULLED BY THAT LITTLE, GAY, ELF DENTIST. 
LOVE, SANTANA!"

I Kissed a Girl Fangirl Review

Santana is out.
Completely and fully out.
She told her parents and they are fine with it.
But then she told her Abuela aaaaanddd, that didn't turn out so well.
Finn was a butt in Mash Off...but he actually helped Santana so much in I Kissed a Girl.
Finn is gettin' better.
Finn sang Girls Just Wanna Have Fun aaand i cried(:
Rachel is a straight-up butt.
But Rachel did right by confessing to Figgins.
Brittany is the best student president ever!
Kurt and Blaine sing the most amazing duet ever.
Shelby and Puck...NO! It ain't workin' too well for those 2 Lovebirds.
Quinn will get the hell out of Lima when she can.
Quinn tries to seduce Puck...he tells her to leave.
THE BEISTE CAN SING!!
Bieste was amazing in Jolene!!!!
Bieste killed the number.
Sue is a bitch.
Sue is a total Jolene.
Shelby made the right decision to make Puck leave after they "did it".
So, that's what I think about this past episode.
Hope<3
CHECK NEXT WEEK FOR MY REVIEW ON HOLD ON TO 16!(: <3

NOVEMBER CHECK-IN

Hey Y'all(:
I'm so sorry I forgot my Mid-November Check-in last week...Guess I was super busy. :(
So, this is whats goin' on in mah life:
Music- I've started listening to the radio a lot more lately (106.1) and I've got lotsa new music on my iPod bcuz of that. I re-fell in love with the song Songbird (Glee Cast Version), sung by Santana to Brittany.
Books- I started reading the books in the series The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and I'm almost done with the 4 book series in about 7 days. I've been devouring them!!(:
Movies- I NEED to see Breaking Dawn, so if anyone would like to come with sometime, I would love you forever(: <3 I also need to see New Years Eve when it comes out (LEA MICHELE!) and I wanna see In Time sooo...yeah(:
Homework- BEEN. SO. BUSY! It's not faiiiirrr!! 2 essays in 1 weeeek :( Ughhh...!!! It. sucked. SO. bad. 
The Move- So, we're moving. Probably on Jan. 9th. 4 days before my bday...and it SUCKS. There is so much stress and i dont wanna move but my parents decided it. Well, I get to go to Oly. Truth be told, I will miss my carpool more than anything. It is so funny(:
Names- Evidently I know everyone in the schools' names...cool(:
Summer Memories- I miss summer more than I've ever missed anythin' in my life (besides my Facebook). I had a dream about summer memories and summer acquaintances and I cried in the morning. I miss the experiences. It all feels like a dream. A dream with a bitter ending. I miss it like hell. But I guess that the only way to cope with hell is to try to get through it. 'Pose I'll try.

Bye byeeee!!! I love all of you!(: Thank you for being there for me!!<3
Go to my Google Profile...or my Formspring to ask me questions.(: Love you<3

ThanksNOTgiven

I miss my Facebook. I miss last year. I miss my elementary school. I miss NOVA because my house it boring. I miss my old friends. I miss my dead cat. I miss my old schedule. I miss the time when nobody hated me. But mostly I miss my Facebook. Yep, Happy Thanksgiving to you too. :( Guess it's the time of year that I should be thankful for everything that I do have... but I guess that I'm just, not.

Bath&Body Works(:

Yummy Bath&Body Works!! A place has NEVER smelled sooo amazingly good!!(: I got 3 new lip glosses there (ONE OF THEM TASTES LIKE LIMEADE!) and it's amazinggg!! PLEASE email me if you're goin' to the mall anytime soon bcuz i NEEEEED to get back there with more moneyyy! ...and I'd love to go with youuu...but, i do really need to get back there(:
Love yaaa <3 ;)

Pobre Santana

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry Santana </3 Everything will be ok in the end. You'll get through it. The whole Glee Club and The Troubletones are here to support whatever happens to you. Finn was just being stupid when he said that. He'll come around. Everything will work out <3

Watership Down

Well, that is THE MOST violent bunny story I have ever read....tisk tisk

First of the Year

Sooo....the party was amazingggg! For me.
Lotsa people were mad at the end of it....not me...
and lotsa people thought it sucked....but it didn't.
Sure, it wasn't the best party but it was still amazing!
I wanted to dance with more 6th graders... I DANCED WITH ONE! LUNAAA! ;) but it was still amazing!!
I didn't win the costume contest but that was okay, i love all the costumes!
I got to see 2 of my best friends dancing together and it almost made me cry that they were finally dancing! <3
I got to dance with the 8th grade girls and that was amazing to be in their little group.
I danced with 2 8th grade guys and that was funny :)
I danced with lotsa of my friends and i just partied!
Last Friday Night (TGIF) was the best song, by far. Everyone was in a huge circle and we all knew the lyrics. People went into the circle and we laughed at them but we loved it.
It was amazing and don't let people think that it wasn't because they were party-poopers. :)

Partay!!!

Howdy y'all! ;) jjjjjjjjuuuuuuuussssssssttttttt kiiiiiidddddddddddddddiiiiiiinggggggg!
So the NOVA Halloween Party is tonight at 7:00- 9:00 PM!
Here's what to bring: 
6th Grade- Healthy Food
7th Grade- Drinks
8th Grade- Junk Food/ Sweets!
Costumes are optional but there is a costume contest that you can enter and win cool prizes!
This is REALLY fun with music and food and friends!
Please no adults (unless chaperones), no friends from outside NOVA and no alumni :( we love youuuu!
Hope you can make it! <3

Uh huh...SO DEAL WITH IT! ;)

Yes, I'm a girl. I push doors that clearly say PULL. I laugh harder when I try to explain why I'm laughing. I walk into a room and forget why I was there. I count on my fingers in math class. I hide the pain from my loved ones. I say it is a long story when it's really not. I cry a lot more than you think I do. I care about people who don't care about me. A broken nail is painful. I try to do things before the microwave beeps! I listen to you even when you don't listen to me. And a hug will ALWAYS help. Yes, I'm a girl!! So suck it boys!

:'(

How come someone's ALWAYS mad at me or someone thinks that I'm mad at them? Oh this world is made up or anger...

So True....Listen Up Guys!!!

5 DEADLY WORDS USED BY WOMAN
1. FINE - this is the word women use to end an argument when she knows she is RIGHT & YOU need to SHUT UP. 
2. NOTHING - this means SOMETHING and you need to be WORRIED. 
3. GO AHEAD - this is a dare, not permission, do NOT do it. 
4. WHATEVER - is a woman's way of saying SCREW YOU 
5. THAT'S OK - she is thinking long and hard on HOW and WHEN you will pay for your mistake.

Defenders of Wildlife- Story Warren's Testimony

To all who read my blog:
A week ago, Story left school early so she could go testify in front of the state Fish and Wildlife Commission in support of its Wolf Recovery Plan.
I admire her love for wolves and how much of her heart that she put towards helping wolves. It must have taken so much courage for her to speak in front of all those people. This is amazing that a 7th grader from NOVA Middle School can do so much at her age.
Thank you, Story! You are so amazing and I really really do admire you for everything that you have done for wolves. Your speech was amazing and I think that it really made a difference. <3 I'm am SO proud to be your friend <3333333
This is her testimony that she presented to the state Fish and Wildlife Commission:

Tribute to the Death of the Amazing Character Quinn Fabray

Head Cheerio

In Season 1 she was such a strong character. Such an interesting one. She was the person who you felt sorry for...the person who you wanted to know more about. She was popular but that was hiding the fact that she was so vulnerable and insecure. She's the classic "beautiful girl" but she was so much more than that. She was high school girl who got pregnant during her Sophomore year with a guy who got her drunk off wine coolers. She was the girl who had everything and then was dumped on her ass. The girl who's parents kicked her out of their house because she was a "disgrace". The girl who lied to her boyfriend that her baby was his when it was really his best friend. She was the girl who inspired people.

Official S1 Pic

Quinn with her baby girl Beth

 

Official S2 Pic

In Season 2, she was the again the classic "beautiful girl". She was the girl who got back on the Cheerios because she talked crap about someone else. She stays the popular girl. The one that people idolize. She was the girl who helped the new hot guy clean up after he got a slushie facial. She got sweeter and kinder when she was with that hot guy. He healed her pain from the previous year. He made her better. He helped her through the difficult times when she had to deal with the peer pressure. She loved him but she stayed the girl who cheats on her amazing boyfriend who was everything right for her. She was the girl who, once again, cheats on her boyfriend. She was the girl who runs from Prom Queen to rule the school but loses to a gay guy. She is the girl who admits her insecurities and gets comforted by her 2 best friends. She is the girl that people want to be like.

She sure was "Lucky" back then..

 

Beautiful Prom Queen Canidate

Official S3 Pics

 In Season 3, she is not the "beautiful girl". She is not the "popular girl". She isn't the head Cheerio. She isn't the girl who is dating the hot football player. During the summer she drops out of society...starts hanging out with "The Skanks". She starts smoking. She starts dating a 40 year old skateboarder. She is no longer a role model for little girls. Quinn Fabray is no longer the girl who she longed to be once before. Homecoming Queen...Prom Queen...Head Cheerleader...no. She is the girl who scares little children when they're walking hand-in-hand with their parents down the sidewalk. The girl who parents give nasty looks at like "what the hell did you do with your life?!" She's the girl who made a mistake. She forgot how she needs music. She needs Glee Club. She needs the people in Glee Club who love her no matter who she is. She forgot that they were the ones to pick her off her feet when she forgot how to fly.

The Skanks

New look...?

At the end of Season 2, she is seen with Glee Club, happy to be somewhere where she is wanted. In the beginning of Season 3, she is unrecognizable. Completely changed. Nothing the same. All the character development that has been building up for 2 years crumbles down within 2 minutes of her walking down the halls of McKinley High. She had been such an inspiration and such a good character. I don't know where all of that went! I remember her telling Finn that she was pregnant oh so long ago. I remember her yelling and attacking Finn about raising money to help her baby. I remember her telling her parents that she was pregnant, that horrible dinner scene. I remember her giving birth to the beautiful baby named Beth by Puck. I remember her singing "Lucky" with her best boyfriend ever. I remember when Sam proposed to her and she said yes. I remember when she cheated on Sam for Finn and he finds out. I remember her being vulnerable and scared....but NEVER did I ever think that she would go so low as this.

This is my tribute to Quinn Fabray. One of my favorite characters, gone forever. Never coming back.
I love you Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron) and I want you to know that if Sam were still at WMHS, he would be disappointed in you. </3

Heyyyyy....

Hey!!! This is my mid-September update as i have every month :)
School is super great!!! It's a BIG step up for me from 6th Grade but i am so happy to be in 7th grade! It seems like it will definitely a harder year than last year, but i also think that it will be a better year. I'm not sure, tho. I miss the old 8th graders it makes my heart hurttttt whenever i think of themmmm :'( I hope that they love High School and even tho this is selfish, i really want them to miss NOVA more than they like HS :( Ik, im bein mean right now :/ The new 6th graders are so AWESOME! They are soooo amazingggg! Their class will be so awesome! They already were settled and at home on the first day of school by lunch! I think that they will help my missing the 9th graders go away a little because they're such an awesome class.
I really love Adv. Science and World History more than i thought that i would. I expected to love Pre-Alg and Adv. LA, and I DOOOOO!! All of my core classes are great! its so cool that we get to have classes with the 8th graders this year!
There's so much DRAAAAMMMAAAA in 7th grade and it's just the 3rd weeeeekkkk!! :D ohmygoddd!! :) hahaha :D
I'm currently reading "The Power of 6" and IT'S AMAZING! I CAN'T PUT IT DOWN! I STARTED IT LAST NIGHT AND......PSHHHH, I'M OBSESSED! haha :D
I am still a full and complete GLEE fan, even tho the episode on Tuesday SUCKED! It was just a little disappointing because I've been lookin forward to it for 3 months and it was awful....BUT it was still Glee and if it's Glee then i like it :) haha, it just works like that :)
I'm pretty good right now....8 months as of next Sunday <3 WOW! <3
Trident has a new gum called "Trident Layers- sweet cherry + island lime" ITS AMAZING! :D haha

My White-Water Rafting Trip

I've actually been home for a couple days now but anyways...IM HOME!!!

This is probably going to be an insanely long post so if you dont want to read it, stop now. but id like it if you would read at least part of it bc the past 3 days were the best days of my life! :)
So, this is a really funny story: there are these things called IKs (inflatable kayaks) or Duckies. one of the guides Kayla had a water gun and she gave it to this 14 year old guy named Sonny and she told him "if you see any jet boats, SPRAY THEM! and they're spray you with a gigantic wall of water and it might blow you back a few feet. you think you're up for that?" and now, Sonny is a complete daredevil and completely loves taking risks so he says "of course!!! this is gonna be fun!" soooo...when the jet boat comes up he sprays all the passengers and of course they get all pissed off. then the driver, turns around and shoots a 10 ft. high wall of water straight at Sonny. I'm serious!!! Crazy aim! he was blasted back, like, 5 FEET into the air and one lens of his sunglasses popped out of the frame! it was soooo hilarious!!! :D haha
So this is another story about Sonny (he was definitely the most entertaining in our whole group), like i said before he's a REALLY big risk taker, dare devil etc. so he created something called "Sonny Side Up" which is pretty much flipping an IK over and standing up on the back of it and paddling like that. he could seriously take rapids like that. he's insane! thennnn...for some stupid reason i got onto the IK with him on the last day bc i was feeling....risky or stupid, cant figure out which one, and HE WENT SONNY SIDE UP WITH ME ON THE IK! i was literally freaking out bc he was sooo unstable, standing on an IK! we took a few rapids like that with me screaming bc i sooo didnt trust this 14 year old daredevil! seriouslyyyy!!! but it was sooo much damn fun going Sonny Side Up with him! since he was the creator of the Sonny Side Up way of paddling, i felt much safer than how i felt IKing with anyone else...know what i mean? :) but trust me, HE'S CRAZY! :P all of the little kids absolutely loved him, tho...cant see it personally :) haha jk, he was pretty cool
I adopted 3 or 4 little shadows on this trip, Maile (Mai-ley) [7], Kai (5), Sage (8), and Jamie (8). they literally attached to me and followed me around everywhere! it was cute for a while and then it was like "OHMYGOD, GET AWAY FROM ME YOU LITTLE PEOPLE! GO BUG SONNY, HE HAS SOOO MUCH MORE PATIENTS WITH LITTLE KIDS THAN I DO!" (which is totally not true)
We had such a great guide named Mikey, he was the "king ninja" for all the little people and it was so funny! he was soooo goofy and hilarious! he bonded with everyone and everyone loved him! even the parents!! he taught all the little people how to be ninjas and then they followed him around like little ducklings after their mothers. :D
One of the best rapids was called Devil's Staircase. it was sooo scaryyyy but it was so insanely great! it was like a water staircase with a bunch of rocks in it but add the "Devil's" part of it and it was CRAZY! butttttt, super fun!!!
every day we stopped at a swimming hole and 2/3 of them had GREAT jumping rocks! it was superrrr fun and freezing! it was the best, tho and almost everyone jumped! EVEN MAILE who's 7 or whatever! IT WAS INSANE! i got some really good pics from that swimming hole!
i got some really good pics and i'll send them once i get home to upload them onto my computer!!!
hope you enjoy life! ;)
I miss you all!!! A LOT!!

Adorabubble Lil' Mice

don't tell me this is gross... my mom found 4 lil' baby mice is her garden the other day and i personally think that they are the sweetest dang things i have seen this whole year!!!! They're sooo soft and fuzzy (i haven't actually touched them but they look soft and fuzzy)!!!! Their eyes still haven't opened and they're soft golden brown fur reminds me of a perfectly toasted marshmallow!!! they're soooo little!!! 2 of them were dead (6 total baby mice) and i made a pretty grave for them and they were sent off very well!
SWEETEST LIL' THINGS EVERRRR!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

Adorabubble!

Just look at the lil' thing!!! CUTEEEENESSSSS <3 <3 <3 I wish i was that cute!!! :)

ILY!

THE END!

It's the end of the school year!
No more NOVA until September :'(
The 8th graders are now 9th graders and they will be in HS in the fall. The summer seems to be sooo long and I feel like I'm never gonna see anyone again.
I'm now a 7th grader and somehow that seems so strange! Much stranger than a 5th grader being a new 6th grader! idk why! i guess i'm gonna say that every year, tho.
I'm gonna miss that party that Emily and Sami are having and i don't want to at all :'(
I guess that the past year is history now.... and i have to move on.
i guess i can't dwell on those memories to keep my up... i have to find the present to make me happy.

See u all in the fall!
HAGS!
ILY <3

Hope

Portland Trip!
