HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

It's a good thing I'm going to be staying up late tonight anyway... because I just had a drink from Starbucks and forgot to order it Decaf...
Oops.
So now, I'm extremely hyper and I kinda want to run around the track a few times.
But I just ate, so that's not a good idea.
Oh, and I don't normally drink coffee, but I drank the thing in like ten minutes.
We magical dinosaurs with wings are not very tolerant of caffeine.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Okay, so if I can focus for long enough to write the rest of this post here is some other stuff-
HAPPY NEW YEAR('s Eve)!!!!! Yessss! Tonight, we stay up late and wait for the giant ball that changes color to slowly descend to the ground to begin 2012!
WHOPPPEEE!
Can you tell I'm hyper?
Anyways, I DID in fact finish my scarf BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS!!!!! Check it out!
























And now, because I'm putting pictures up, I feel the need to tell you that I'm also into drawing right now. I drew this a while ago, but I'm still kinda proud. To be completely honest, I followed an online tutorial to tell me how to do this, but I didn't trace it or anything. :)
Its Spyro and Cynder the dragons!! :)

SO IN CONCLUSION-
Happy New Year!!!
-The Magical Dinosaur with Wings that says happy New Year and is also rather hyper from drinking a bunch of coffee.

Winter Vacay!!

I'm pretty proud of myself considering I'm going to spend my iTunes giftcard in TWO sittings instead of one!

So we are FINALLY on Winter Vacation!!!!!!!!
Yes!!!
It was SUPER hard to pay attention to pay attention this week. I mean, they can't seriously think we are going to listen to a teacher talk when there's Holiday music on the radio, Christmas lights up everywhere, and I feel like wearing a Santa Hat every day.
So, yesterday, I went Rock Climbing.
My sister has become my coach.
Its gotten much harder in the last few days, because she doesn't let me put ANY weight in the rope, EVEN if I'm just taking a break. So, the good news is, I should get better faster...
Apparently on Nick they've created an Angry Birds short...
I have no comment.
Alright, so I really don't get why I keep going to bed so late.
I mean, I go to bed, then I wake up early in the morning.
WHY?
My body needs to figure out that I'm on break because I'm getting really tired of going to bed at twelve and getting up at 630.
Soooo anyway....
Seee yaaa!

New Backround!!! And TONS of... SQUIRREL!

Do you like the new look? I've noticed that on many blogs, people really don't change the theme or background much.
Personally, I just COULDN"T STAND going into my blog like every three days and seeing the SAME background, it was bugging me,
a lot.
SO, I went into Photoshop and changed the picture, and you know what? I feel really good about it!
Better, right?












So, lately I've been neglecting my guitar playing.
Because
1. (as I said in my last post) I'm busy and
2. Because I am tired of being on the "plateau"
Yeah, apparently that's what its called when you are sitting there working away and not getting any better,
That's where you're supposed to do all of your learning.
But I hate it.
I'm sure that I've mentioned this probably more than once, but I have ZERO patience. Not that I'm going to give it up or anything, but I get bored with stuff really fast. I mean, I'll just be sitting there, reading something, and all of a sudden, I look up and start playing my guitar. I  kinda remind myself of Doug from Up...
SQUIRREL!

I <3 That movie :)

Anyway...
That reminds me...
I'm not sure why, but lately, in one of my classes, I get REALLY sleepy during it. I mean, I don't know if its because its right after lunch, or because the room is always a bit warm, but I find it SUPER hard to pay attention when my eyes  are getting heavy.
I know what you're thinking...
and I AM NOT a class- sleeper, or whatever you call those people.
See? I don't even know what the name of them is, that PROVES that I'm not one of them...
I got off topic again...
See? Some days I'm just really random.
*deep breath*
Okay,
So, lately, my parents (and I) have been hooked on this show called "The Walking Dead" its on AMC, and its about Zombies and the apocalypse, its pretty interesting.
But the point is, I think the show is rubbing off on me a bit, considering the other night I heard a noise and my first thought was
Zombie
Now, before you say ANYTHING, take into consideration that it was like three in the morning and I was half asleep.
But ITS NOT JUST ME, my Mom and I were at the grocery store one day, and this woman shuffles by...
I looked at mom
"I know what you're thinking" I said.
and believe it or not, I was right.

I've recently taken an interest in the music by the All American Rejects. I mean, I've always liked them, but I'm eagerly waiting for the holidays so I can get an iTunes gift card and blow it all in one sitting.
Even though I probably spend too much money on iTunes, I always feel like I'm getting jipped. Because, you don't ACTUALLY get anything... you can listen to the song on Youtube.
That's why I like gift cards, but again, I have NO patience, so I usually end up buying the songs anyways.

I did nearly all of my holiday shopping online at 8:00 last night. After nearly having a meltdown because they raised the prices for the holidays, I went ahead and bought the stuff anyway.
Who cares? They're for my friends. And if you are one of the people that I bought a gift for, pretend like you never read this because I wouldn't have bought it if I didn't want to. :)

So, I guess that's a wrap!

Happy Holidays!!

Happy Holidays from all of us here at the Magical Dinosaur with Wings!
Actually, its just me here... cause this is my blog... but it sounds WAY more like a greeting that way...
ANYWAY, I've been super busy this past week because I think, just because its almost Winter Vacation, they decide to give us an absurd amount of things to do...
I mean, its like they sit there and say...
Its almost the holidays, so here is 5,000 things for you to get done in the next few days!!
Alright, its not that extreme, but when you're writing a blog post, you have to exaggerate a bit, otherwise things are going to be REALLY boring, because if people REALLY wanted to read about some random person's life, they could
A. Go onto twitter or
B. Find a better use of their time

No offense to those people who spend their free time reading random people's blogs...
because some are quite entertaining, actually.
I guess.
Alright, I got WAY off track there, don't let me do that again.
Right, the Holidays...
Ah yes, tis' the season!
Do you have any exciting plans for the holidays?
So, I've picked up knitting again!
Yes again, I learned in like 6th grade, and finally decided it was time to learn it again,
which, actually, I was delightedly surprised to see that all it took was a bit of a refresher.
I'm planning on knitting a scarf, but the only problem is that I have NO patience whatsoever, so we'll see if I get the thing done by the holidays...
of next year.
Anyway...
Bye!!!

$500 for a Tortilla?

So this morning, I was channel surfing when I came across this game show on CBS. So, I watched it for an hour because I had nothing better to do with my time.
But, anyway,
So, when you went to the show, you had to dress up in crazy costumes. Then, if you were picked, the hosts would ask you if you had a certain item.
WELL,
for starters, this one guy dressed up as Popeye, and he got $100 for bringing a can of spinach.
But what REALLY amazed me, is that this girl (I really don't know what her costume was) was asked if she had a tortilla, and guess what, SHE DID.
So they gave her $500 dollars.
Anyway
See Ya!!
-The Magical Dinosaur with Wings that is amazed that this person got $500 for owning a tortilla

Spyro the Dragon!!

Is it weird that I just spent like two hours straight playing with legos?
ANYWAY,
All this week, we have no school.
Why?
'Cause its Thanksgiving Thursday!!
So, my Dad's family is coming into town, and we're going to eat food. Then, my Mom is cooking a dinner, so I'm going to eat more food.
Two feasts in a day, is that a record or something?
Yesterday, I went to the Arboretum to do some photography there. This was AWESOME because I just got the Nikon D3100!!!!!!
YYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not to brag or anything :)
Nah, I'm not trying to, but it was lots of fun. There was like nobody there probably because it was like 40 degrees and it was gross outside. BUT
that actually was nice because FOR ONCE there wasn't a person stepping into my frame.
I really don't understand why people do that, I mean, isn't it obvious that you're obstructing someones picture when you're standing RIGHT where a camera is pointed? *sigh*, I guess people just don't care.
So, have you guys ever heard of figment?
Well, (as usual), shame if you haven't, but if you seriously havent, then www.figment.com is basically a place where you can publish your writing online. You can read others writing and share your own.
You ever played a Spyro the dragon game? They were always pretty fun, but when it got into the Legend of Spyro Series, then it got amazing. Anyway, so they finished the trilogy of the games, and for like four years, all was silent. But lately, they've come out with this game called Skylanders- Spyro's Adventures. Its this game where you can get these toys, and put them on this game pad, and that makes your toy "come to life" in the game.
Well, the game seems fun and all, but I think they've sold the rights to Spyro considering that he went from being this animated character that had a vivid personality and was a relate able character, to this thing that runs around and grunts all the time.
Whatever, if you like the game, that's awesome for you, because I'm not saying that the games bad, I'm just saying that I will always remain as a fan of the original Spyro.
Ahem, ahem, now that that's out of my system...
Bye!!
-The Magical Dinosaur with Wings that feels rather strongly about the new Skylanders game because they changed Spyro the dragon.

Angry Birds


This was very amusing to me.

So, anyway...
We didn't have any school today because it was faculty work day since yesterday was the last day of the trimester. Agh, grades will be in soon!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Kidding, I don't think I did THAT bad.
You know, to a certain extent...
So i've tried for like two weeks to say "pika" before I sneeze.
Why?
Because then, I say "pikachooo!"
*How adorable*
But, sadly enough, every time I think to say "pika", I either-
1.Forget that I have to sneeze
2.Don't have time to say it
or
3. Look really stupid because I just randomly said "pika" when no sneeze came.
What makes me MORE upset is that i've gotten two people to say it before they sneezed in a matter of about ten seconds.
Darn.
Lately, I realized that NO ONE COMMENTED ON THE POST where I asked you guys to tell me who is reading the blog!
You know how depressing that is?
Super.
Anyway,
See ya later!
-The Magical Dinosaur with Wings that happens to breath fire and doesn't know why that is and maybe thinks it is the result of some accident it doesn't remember because there is no possible way it could be a dragon, because it is a magical dinosaur with wings.

Spirit Week and Harry Potter!

I'm rather proud to say that I participated in ALL of the spirit days this week. (All four of them)Yes, no school Monday, SO...
Tuesday was Pajama Day and if you didn't know what I wore to that, I would be seriously concerned.
Wednesday was Twin Day, so two of my friends and I went as triplets.
Thursday was Cartoon Character Day, and I wore a Harry Potter costume. I REALIZE that Harry Potters not a cartoon, but I didn't have anything else, and if you wanted to get technical, they DID make a Harry Potter cartoon.
Plus, its Harry Potter, so that makes it okay.
Friday, we wore our school colors.

Have you ever heard of the game Assassin?
If you haven't,
shame.
In case you DONT know, Assassin is basically a game where you get someones name, and you have to get them in a room alone, then you tell them, "you're dead".
Basic as it sounds, this game causes many people high anxiety.
Things get intense.
So, I've played it twice and I can honestly say that I'm just about as good as a rabbit would be, and this is a NORMAL rabbit, not a demented bunny...
*Sigh*

Anyway, I was struck with a sudden curiosity of what house I would be in at Hogwarts, so I took quizzes online, and apparently, in a bunch of them, I tied for points between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Yes, this is how I spend my free time.

Who is reading this??

Alright, I can't help but be curious... am I writing to no one? Seriously, am I? If you read this blog, or have in the past, PLEASE comment and tell me. Because, if I'm sitting here, typing away, only for me to read, that's kinda sad, SO, if you would let me know if I am actually talking to people, that would be much appreciated :)

How long would it take to count to 1 million?

So, how long WOULD it take to count to a million??? Well, according to http://www.bigsiteofamazingfacts.com/how-long-does-it-take-to-count-to-1-million it would take "6 days, 22 hours, and 40 minutes"
Yep, imagine sitting there for 6 days, 22 hours and 40 minutes counting away. I honestly pondered doing this for moment, just to see how far I would get, then I realized that
1. I don't have that much free time,
2. WHY do I need to be doing that if the Internet tells me, and
 3. I don't WANT to sit there for 6 days, 22 hours, and 40 minutes.
Seriously, counting for 6 days, 22 hours, and 40 minutes. 6 days, 22 hours and 40 minutes is a long time.
So, since I'm not going to count to a million in my head, I'm going to type to a million!!

I'm bored. Never mind.

So, since this goes with the math theme, here is a bunch of digits of Pi from http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/~huberty/math5337/groupe/digits.html

The site gives you 10,000, but I really don't want to copy and paste that much, and honestly, I'm kinda scared that my computer won't be able to handle that many numbers.

Oh, and by the way, Pi day is March 14 (3/14, 3.14)

Well, I hope you enjoyed these random math facts, and NO, I am NOT a huge math person, I have nothing against it, but to be completely honest, I was just sitting there, wondering, how long WOULD it take to count to a million?

So, I guess that's a wrap!
See Ya!!!

Rambunctious Soup

Don't you love when you are texting someone something completely normal, like "thank you for the soup", but auto correct turns that into something dreadfully awkward? So, the words end up becoming something like "rambunctious soup". 

Anyway, do any of you know sign language? I'm trying to learn the alphabet, and its pretty cool. Only, it would help if I had 5 fingers, because being a dinosaur and all, I don't really know if I have fingers... or hooves, or just hands, or feet. Seriously, what do us dinosaurs have?

Alright, so, I think schools should make it a rule that they can't give you so much homework that you can't fit it all in your backpack.

I've noticed that todat I'm pretty random.

GIANT SQUID

Furthermore,  I've decided what I'm going to be for Halloween...

HARRY POTTER!!!!

I feel pretty cool wearing a robe and circular glasses.

So, I suppose I could stay up late, typing and typing...
or I could say this...
Bye!!!

ITHRWELFHSDJKLA!!! And Guitar

My. Teeth. Hurt.
Yes, even magic dinosaurs with wings need braces.
AND THEY HURT
AHHHHHHHHHH!!!
DFK:SAIARITHRILKF$(%"&#(%#$I$HIFHDNSVJLSDLVE*%R"Y#$*TH"!!!!!!!!!


Alright, now that that's out of my system...
So, I'm learning to play the guitar, which is actually quite challenge for me considering I have dinosaur hands.
Anyway, my guitar has a built in tuner, which I attempted to use, however unfortunately due to both my dinosaur hands and lack of ability, my guitar now sounds as if someone has stepped on an angry cat.
it sounded so much better before I messed with it.
*sigh*
So yesterday, I decided to play my guitar outside for a bit. It was going great, my not yet screwed up guitar was being strummed quite nicely. That is, until it rained.

Being completely honest, I love the rain, however that love only goes so far when your laptop gets wet as well as your musical instrument.
Oh well.

Well, now I suppose I could sit here, typing away all afternoon, telling you more stories that you may or may not read...
Or I could say this-
Bye bye!

A New Start!! (NOT a dragon)

I've decided to give this blog a second chance, so I made quite a few changes...

The first (and most important) thing you must remember is that I am a magical dinosaur with wings (NOT a dragon).
Just like how a flying pretty pony is JUST that, not a Pegasus. What's the plural of that word anyway.. Pegasi, Pegasuss?
Never mind the fact that I breath fire..
maybe that was the result of an accident I don't remember.
We exist!! The picture proves it, and NO, I did NOT just go onto google, get a picture of a brontosaurus and paint on wings.
This is legit!
(Well, maybe I did, but either way, I am NOT a dragon, awesome as they may be) but I am NOT A DRAGON!!!

Ahem, ahem, now that that's all cleared up...
I suppose I should add something here that goes with the theme...
Have you ever lied awake at night, staring up at the ceiling, ravenous for a hefty helping of random facts?
 I bet you have.
So, I feel the need to tell you this so that you may sleep well tonight.
The longest Dinosaur name is Micropachycephalosaurus 
Spell check denies this as being a word.

Anyways, many of you may have read this on fb, but WHY does everyone have a cactus? Honestly, I just don't understand.
If you wanna see a cactus, you can go south, because trust me, there is PLENTY there. (And you can eat it if that seems necessary to you) Yes, cactus is edible did'ja know that? I bet you didn't! There's something else to help you sleep. Now, if someone SHOULD get a cactus, I would say that would be my history teacher, who waters the carpet more than he does the plants... Not kidding...

*Tik tok on the clock but the party don't stop no*

Ack, sorry, that's what happens when you write a blog post while listening to music.

Well, I could ramble on telling you stories that you probably don't care at all about...
Or I could say this...
See Ya!

The Battle of the Chair

I'll be one of the first people to admit that my cat is in interesting character. She's a one of a kind.
See, in the living room, we have a rocking chair, and two couches. On one of the couches, there is a blanket.
Sassy (my cat) believes that both the blanket and chair is hers (she also thinks my rooms belongs to her, but I'm not going to get into that now).
One problem with that, she can't be on both the chair and blanket at the same time.
My Yorkie, Romeo, also enjoys both the chair and blanket. Well, Romeo is being quite a daring dog here because Sassy is the alpha cat. She DOES NOT like having anyone on the chair and blanket but her.
So, how does she protect both places. Here's an example-
The sun is peaking its way up behind the houses. Inside one house, a human walks over to let her Yorkie out of his crate.
The instant she releases the latch on the crate, a cat comes tearing across the living room, sprinting towards a rocking chair. She lays down on it.
The Yorkie walks over to the couch, wanting to relax as well, he jumps on the couch and lays down on a blanket. The cat sits up she stares at the Yorkie, her expression showing absolute hatred. Her eyes are like rays of fire, burning into the Yorkie's back as he sleeps. The Yorkie lifts his head as well. He looks at the cat and jumps off.
So, what's the main point of this story?
Sassy gives Romeo the look of death if he jumps on either the chair or blanket. (Really, it even scares me sometimes!)

Once, Romeo was daring. Sassy was on the chair, and Romeo leaped up.

If Romeo so much as comes near the chair, Sassy's ears flatten on her head and she swats out with her paw in attempt to hit Romeo in the face and send him away from the chair.

That's our cat, she is a one of a kind.

Frightening Roosters and Wall Ball Gone Wrong

I never realized how frightening Roosters can be. I was at this show, and it was one of their first times doing it, and I guess they had a hard time controlling the roosters because they (at the most random times) would run in a circle across the stage. Well, once there was a volunteer, and they were about to step off of the stage, but before they could, here comes the roosters. They literally charge towards the volunteer. I can't blame her for this, because I would have totally done the same thing; the volunteer took a step back. Unfortunately, they had a small river-like thing on the stage. The volunteer steps back and falls straight into the water. The water wasn't too deep though, so she only really got her shoes wet. They take her back stage. Later, she tries to exit the stage, but, of coarse, the roosters randomly ran across the stage, and she runs backstage again.
I can honestly say that I would most likely have reacted much more severe to the raging roosters.
They can be quite scary.

Since this story goes with the previous one, here is another story-
I wanted to go in the backyard to play wall ball a bit. I told my Step Dad, who told me not to fall in the pool. I agreed and went outside. I played a bit, throwing the ball against the wall and catching it when it came back. Once the ball went to far, so I stepped back (I think you can see where this story is going). I fell into the pool up to my chest. I got out and was completely soaked. I walked back inside to get changed. After, I went back to my Step Dad.
"I fell into the pool" I said. He looks at me.
"Seriously?"

Moments

I think its time this blog got a few more followers.

This post is about moments in time- 
Our Math Teacher put on a fake mustache in class today, then some of us students decided to do the same (because we had made them all today), an interesting class it was.

You look over and see a woman with a shoe on her hand. She lifts the shoe up and slowly moves around, you indicate to your friend what the woman is doing. You both sit there a bit confused before the woman quickly brings down the shoe. You now realize what she was doing with it.

Think of a funny moment in life, and I will post it here! Just comment below!!

First Post of the Blog!!!

This is the first post of the entire blog!
I would like to begin by thanking my Mom and Dad for...
never mind, they didn't help me create this.
(Its okay, they're still awesome)

Anyway, like any blogger, I will begin by telling a bit about me-
I travel all over the world with my Dog.
I have a Guinea Pig at home that likes to eat Mangos.
My Smart Phone exploded last week.
