OH WOW

Man, I haven't written in a while. Well don't worry readers, if there are any, I didn't forget about you. So there is allot to tell you about.
Well I finally painted my room. Actually it was one wall but its a start. It happens to be purple and due to is smells like paint I have to sleep down stairs.
It toke a while though because my dad was really sick. He had a migraine for a little over a week. He went to the doctor like 8 times and the ER. I was really scared. I think hes better now. Only because he went to work so that must help.
Our first cheer competition of the season is Saturday. I'm so excited. Were doing this really cool stunt. I don't want to give anything away so ill record it and post on here. But its going to be fun. I hope we beat Taft. Specking of Taft, we had our Taft Wheeler boys basketball game. The seventh grade was creamed. Only our 8th grade was so close.
Our A team was getting beaten at first but then with like 3 minutes left in the game, Jack V, made a 3 pointer. It was baller, and not to mention I was screaming my head off. That tied the score so we still had hope but it wasn't enough. They beat us by like one point. Then our B team won.
Drama club is same old same old. Only I guess when I'm not around there's all this drama. Its insane. There's normally never drama in drama! I think ill try be around more to bring order.
Now i happen to be starving so off I go to eat and do homework, oh joy.
Love,
Madi
P.S.
does anyone read this? it feels empty.

Well Im Gonna Have To Live With It

Hey,
So I am on my four day weekend from school. It is quite fun even though I'm still getting over being sick. Plus I had cheer practice Friday night and I had to get up at 7:50 for bowling today. But hey, I'm not complaining.
After bowling I came home and knew I had to do my room. Then my friend Sam called, "You wanna come see the lovely bones with us?" Well of course I did, we were suppose to go yesterday. Only my father wouldn't let me. I was very upset. You see I was asked to sleep over Friday night only I couldn't go because we have my friend Brittnee living with me for a week. And so I said pretty pretty please........ he said yes. Really hes a softy.
So I went to the movies. It wasn't bad, I liked it. Me and all my friends though acted different through the movie. I had Angela shaking and biting Sam. Sam just had no emotion. As Karly was balling her eyes out. And all I wanted to do was yell at the screen like those old lady's who don't understand that silence your cell phones mean silence your self too.
Then we headed to the mall. Which I didn't know was happening but it was okay. Only my mother had not expected that. Once I was home I had to go get paint.
I had alot of trouble picking it out. First I had no clue what kind of purple I wanted. Plus I had them color match my green pillow to the paint. I expected a lime, poppy green. But it was dull and olivey. Like the kind you see in those housewife's show bathrooms. Not the look I was going for. So my mom kept saying come on pick something as I was thinking, "Well I'm gonna have to live with it, so it better be perfect." We got some sample things and then if I like them were going back and getting the gallons. Even though we got stuck with a gallon of the bathroom green, which I doubt I'll be using.
Now I have to help spackle and watch All About Steve with my mommy. As they say in Germany A....... wait I cant spell that, I guess I'll just say bye.
From,
Madi
p.s. Happy Sweet Sixteen Allison=]

[ ] At School [X] Watching Movies [X] Sick

At the moment I am sitting in bed watching movies and coughing my brains out. I happen to be sick. Which I hate because I hate to miss school. You see then when you get back you have more homework than before. Which really stinks. The only thing I like is that I can sleep all day and watch movies, two of my favorite things.
I recently watch this 80's movie Lucas. I had no clue it was going to make me cry. But I do highly recommend it. If you wanna know what its about let me know. Only my favorite thing I've watched today is The Love Boat.
Its a TV show that started in the late 70's. Its really good. I have watched four episodes from the first season and I'm already in love with it. My parents got me the first season for Christmas because I love watching that kinda stuff. I guess I'm more into the time before I was born then I'm into now.
Normally when I'm sick ill plop myself on the couch and sleep, well not anymore. Now that I have my new furniture for my room. It is awesome, I so prefer being in here now. Don't get me wrong though, we got a new couch and it's amazing but I'm bed just as good now. Only my rooms not done I still have to paint and add things but it's gonna be killer.
Well, I happen to be super tired, it comes with being sick, so I am going to watch Forest Gump now, my favorite movie, and get some shut eye. Good afternoon for me.
Love,
Madi

Snow Day!!!......... Wait...Nope

Lets start with a song. ( to tik tok by ke$ha, its a little weird fitting but think about it)
" Wake up in the morning, feeling like p diddy
stop the alarm, I'm on my way to the computer
checked out the screen and hoped to see "its a snow day"
but i didn't even see, a snow delay "
Thank you, thank you. As you can tell I went to school today. Uh, it stunk. Luckily my mom drove me to school, but we were late, because of the roads. Only they didn't count me tarty, because the buses hadn't even come yet. So we chilled for the first 10 minutes of class.
Still it was a normal day. They cancelled all after school activities though. So that meant no drama and no cheer. I was kinda sad and kinda mad there was no cheer because....... TODAY WAS THE BIG GAME AGAINST TAFT!!!
Taft is the other middle school in my town, and so its a big rivalry. So the games are a big deal to some people, and now it has to be rescheduled. I was really pumped. Only I'm kinda glad because my voice sounds like Kermit the frog and my throat hurts really bad. So it's kinda good thing.
When I got home I thought, "Yeah, I have a night to chill." But that didn't happen, I had to clean my room. I toke down everything off the 5 shelves in my room, take those down, and then take everything off my bed for my dads BFF to give to his daughter. Only it's all good, because I'm going to have a killer room.
Man, I'm excited!!! Now I have to go make my bed on my floor because I just gave mine away. Its okay i only have to break my back till Saturday. Off I go, I also might grab some ice cream.

There's Always a First for Everthing... and Not Some

Today is a sad day. My friend Lizzie is moving back to Mexico. You see she came to the U.S. for 8th grade to learn English better. When she first came she said she was going back to Mexico during the summer. But I found out today she's leaving tomorrow. I wanted to cry right then in the middle of class.
I've never had a friend move away before and I'm sad to see Lizzie go. I know tomorrow, Advisory won't be the same without her. I hope today wasn't the last day I see her, I know it wont be the last time I talk to her. I gave her letter telling her everything I felt about her, like how she was a really good friend and that I'm going to miss her so much. I even put that she will always be my best friend and love madi in Spanish to show all that shes teached me. Even though I couldn't say one word, so when I said wrong, after so many times I made it my own and we laughed together about it.
Plus the whole day I couldn't talk because my throat hurt and it was very raspy. In choir it was fun singing like that to annoy Mr.Wolff. But now I really don't feel good because of what happened in cheerleading,this was not a first .
You see we were going that Bring It On stunt, that we are not doing anymore for safety reasons, and the girls hand in me in the face once. That one only stung but it didn't hurt. Then we did it again and she accidentally whacked me hard. So then my nose swelled up the size of a bouncy ball. And it felt as though it was bleeding but it wasn't. It hurt really bad and made me feel even sicker. What I don't get is why I always hurt my nose?
When I was in like 3th grade I was rollerblading with me friends, and we were having a race. So they let me have a head start and I wanted to see if I was winning. By the way, the road was up a hill so we were racing down. Only I looked back for a mil-second, and when i looked forward there was a branch. Little did I know I was going to trip on that branch, fall flat on my face, and brake my nose. But there I was lying on the ground covered in blood, crying my eyes out, and all the kids come up and go,"aha" then run away. Leaving me in the street alone and not knowing how bad I was. My mother does not handle us getting hurt at all, even though shes a nurse. So my father carried me to the house and I then went to the hospital, where they gave me a stuffed animal and i felt all better. The best part was, that was all on mothers day and i trashed my knee because i had decided to were a skort.
Then on last year at cheerleading a girl when up in a basket, where we throw them in the air then catch. Well you can say my nose caught her more than my arms did. I'm all good though just my nose is super sore.
I'm also super hungry, so I'm going to eat and have a blue raspberry mister misty freeze from DQ, gotta love ice cream. If you have a friend you know is going to move away spend every minute with them, because you never know if plans change, and you'll really regret it if you don't.
Using her hands now, instead of her nose,
Madi

It's my MOMMY'S BIRTHDAY!!!

Today is my mothers birthday. So Happy Birthday Mommy=] I love you Mom. Your the greatest mom ever=] Also I love birthdays everyone seems happier. I declared my birthday National Happy Day. Because my birthday should be cheerful, I hate seeing people not smiling, so if it's happy day your guaranteed to smile.
I like getting older. I know it sounds odd, but think about it. As you get older you get to experience new things, see the world changing. It's exciting, ooh I'm getting all excited just thinking about it. Only though I do love the old days. I wish I was born in like the 30's and lived till I'm 500. That way I would get to see everything.
I happen to love old time movies. It's my guilty pleasure when I should be working out, or doing homework and stuff of that sort. Judy Garland is like my hero, plus I love like Shirley Temple and Marilyn Monroe. Only the time I wish I lived in the most is THE 80'S.
I happen to be obsessed with the 80's. I have most of my i-pod filled with music from then. Plus I have probably seen every teen 80's movie you can think of. Man, if they create a time-machine the first place I'm going is the 80's.
I like now too though. Right now we are moving in to technology so fast that we cant live without it. But its alright, I like it. Only I wonder what its gonna be like when I'm a grandma? Man, we could be like having super DNA and be able to fly by then. Nah, I'm just letting my imagination go.
You know, I think is gonna be cool to be old. If you have fun your whole life you can think of being old like being a kid. Everyone had a kid inside them their whole life I think. So maybe we should let our inner kid free all the time, its what I do. Why do you think I got mad when no one wanted to really trick-or-treat on halloween. Watch me be one of those adults who dresses up one of those life size dolls, says it's my kid, and then tells people it's shy for candy on Halloween. Hey, thats not a bad idea.
So to all you people who hate getting older I have something to tell you. Don't complain about getting old, because some people never get a chance to. Thats something to think about.
Well im off like a dirty shirt......... Do you know what 80's movie thats from?......... Come on, it's Ducky from Pretty in Pink. Only I'm not kidding I gotta go. But to anyone else whos birthdays today i want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
from,
Madi

Back to School

Aw, today was my first day back to school after winter break. Boy was it a wonderful day........ NOT!!!!! It started out by waking up at the normal 5:10 in the morning, i really hate that. You see I'm not exactly a morning person. So i got ready by getting dressed, eating my Wheaties, and then brushing my teeth. I thought i was running on track. I put on my gloves and coat and headed out the door.
You wont believe what i almost had to, go to the end of the block and back. Yes, i almost missed the bus. Luckily i have been working on not being the slowest person when I start gym class and ran fast enough for my bus driver not to drive off. My bus stop happens to be at the end of the culdesac, and i live sort of up the street. So as i walked out the door I noticed the bus up the road. The running as fast I could wasn't the hard part. It was not falling on the ice and not ruining my hair.
School was the normal same old, same old. Learning. I surprisingly like school. You can say I'm a weird kid. In choir I was really hyper. And laughed so hard I cried...... at completely nothing. You see it was quite fun, only I did get told to stop. I don't understand why I was so hyper, maybe because it was right after lunch. So I lugged on through the day and then I was on to my extra-curricular activities. By that I mean drama club and cheerleading. At drama, I got some drama.
So there I was just sitting in my seat, waiting to get my schedule for the next couple weeks. There on that half cut piece of paper was the date of the drama club show. It was on the same date as my big birthday present.
You see I am a HUGE Justin Bieber fan!!! So when he had a concert coming in Chicago my mom knew I really wanted to go. So she sat on the computer for an hour trying to get me tickets. She told me she was unable too, which was true at first but when they added a second date she got me tickets!!!!!! Only they didn't tell me at first because it is my birthday present, and my birthday's in March.
On Christmas my dad got binoculars and he says, "Madi, you can use these for Justin Bieber." I was like what mom couldn't get me tickets. So they had to give them to me. I was so excited I like cried.
But back to the date of the drama show. Omg, yes, they are on the same day. I was so mad!!! I'm glad I was able to hold in my tears. My drama teacher, Mr.P, said the date had been set in stone... since September! I cant believe it, now I have no clue what to do. But I'll keep you up dated.
Drama club other than that was just doing a dry-run through of the show. After that was over I headed to cheer. Where we worked on our competition routine, and did these really cool stunts.
We did the normal stunts we always work on, but we also tried a really cool new one. It was like the thing in the 4th Bring It On movie. Where like the two girls flip over then we flip them back, they touch the floor and they fly in the air to another stunt group. We got it with just one girl and we've were trying to get them to do it together but it hasn't worked out yet. If we get it I'll upload a video of it to show you.
Now I'm at home, working on my homework. I hope you all had a better day than I did. I'm sure tomorrow will be better. Well had a nice whatever time of day it is your reading this, haha.
TTYL (talk to you later),
Madi

The Beginning

Hello,
Let me start by saying its great to be here and you are a lovely audience. No I'm just kidding. Only let me start by telling you something.
I decided to write a blog after I watched Julie & Julia. Great movie by the way, you've gotta love Meryl Streep. Only it made me want to write a blog, so here I am. The first thought that came to my mind was, "What the heck am I going to write a blog about?" After thinking for a while I thought, "How about just writing about everything?" By everything I mean everything I think or feel, about life, things going on in the world.
My friends say I'm a pretty funny and outspoken person on things. So I'm going to give it a try. My names Madi, I'm thirteen years old and live in a small town in Indiana and this is my blog.
About the title, To the End of the Block and Back. I can't make a decision to save my life, so it only took me about two hours to think of it surprisingly. I texted about everyone in my contact list to help me think of it and to my shock, i thought of it on my own. What I mean by to the end of the block and back, is that it's what i do when i miss the bus. No I'm just joking with you. Only they say to the end of the world and back. And that's not happening anytime soon, unless you believe in the whole 2012 thing. But I don't really know what that means, it could mean many things for different people. For me its experiencing life to its fullest. Which I try to do, only I haven't been many places. Unless you count the seven times I've been to Disney World, but hey it's the happiest place on earth, who doesn't like it there a little bit. So I'm going to get the best out of life from the end of my block and back. Who knows though, I hope to go farther someday. Until then I'll let you know what its like from my little culdesac.
Well I hope you had a Happy New Year. Mine started out cleaning, yippee! I think 2010 is going to be a good year. Don't you? Only I'm a completely optimistic person so of course I'm going to say it will be a good year. And that's how it should be. There's always one thing during the day that makes you smile, that makes it a good day. So with 365 days in a year, and everyday a good day, that makes it a good year.
Good Bye for Now,
from Madi
