I FEEL LIKE A FREE BIRD RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! I got out of school today and while the excitement has dimmed since I got home through to when I'm writing this post... eh, it's still super (extremely) exciting to be out of that stressful place for two weeks and focus on snow, hot chocolate, family time, and RELAXATION.

In other things, today I held a super fancy camera and learned how to work with a super quality camera (HAHA. I just read that again. Anyway...) Yes. I did! It is my friend's and I believe it's a Canon. Anyway, it was super cool and now I really wish I had one. But of course I probably won't be able to get that in at least... 10 years. :D

I've been hearing about some issues with Blogger lately and I'm curious if they will disturb my blogging. I'm not sure, I haven't done much research but I know The Story Siren has switched to Wordpress and it seems like it's a really stressful process. Ah, well, I love Blogger! I hope they don't force that new interface on us {It's way too confusing for me! The old one is so much easier to use!}

Gosh this post is all over the place! I have so much to say! :) Next thing -- I want to tell you about my new favorite TV show. I've been in love with it and have been obsessed with watching it on Netflix. It's MONK. It's a crime show & it's one that I'm actually allowed to watch. (Darn parents.)

Christmas List - Wish Number 5

Knit beanies! Similar to this one. I've found that I love to wear beanies. So I decided "Can't have too many of those!" (which I have none haha) and so that went straight on my wish list!

Bye! See you tomorrow! (;

Christmas List (4)

It seems as if I've been having a busy day and then not so busy day pattern going through this week. And yesterday was a busy one. And today is not so busy :)

Wish Number 4:

Cute pajamas! 

Every year I start to run low on pj's around Christmas time ;)

Christmas List (3)

I know I didn't post yesterday. :( And it's because I was feeling INCREDIBLY lousy. I threw up {sorry if that's TMI. Haha, but how else can I say it? There's not really any better way to put it :P} But anyway, I'm going to quickly post the third thing on my list.

WISH NUMBER 3:

A Fleece Throw {Holiday Style}

{The one above is from Kohls, HERE.}

I couldn't find a picture of the style I want but I  would love to have a fleece throw like the one above for snuggling up to in winter. But mine would preferably be red with white snowflakes. :)

Share what you want for Christmas in the comments below!!

Christmas List (2)

Wish Number 2:

A KINDLE!!!!

This is on the top of my list. Why? Because I loove to read books all over the place but I don't like to read with an actual book book because I just don't like to do it when I'm not at home. And I just love the Kindle. I do not like the idea of paper books going out of popularity because we can read them on a screen. I love holding a book in my hand, turning the pages. I do not want the Kindle or the Nook to take the place of the magic that is in the books. But yes, I would looove to get a Kindle for Christmas!!

And check this out, I made my own signature for my posts!!:

Winter Time

This lovely photo captured my interest this morning. In my town, we haven't been getting much snow since Thanksgiving and I looked at this photo and it made me remember it is December, it's just not snowing over here! But it's super chilly outside so I don't understand why it isn't snowing. Haha. :) I'm feeling much better today in the "happiness" category, if you were curious. :P

And ironically:

On My iPod: "Happiness" by the Fray

Second Post of the Day - A Rant :/

My brain is all fuzzy right now for a few reasons: it's too hot in my house, I've been sitting at a computer for too long, and after sitting by a computer too long I attempted reading Charles Dickens (for a class at school). NOT a good combination -  I don't recommend it.

I feel like I definitely need a meditating corner. A little spot with nothing that will distract me so I can just spend time alone, take a breather. Some random spot won't work. My room doesn't really have an empty corner so I guess I would just have to do it in my closet. And when I picture it I picture relaxing music, just a comfy place. Like a bean bag and a radio. ^_^ That's all I would need to sit there and think about life.

I feel like I need it because lately I've been going through this weird thing in my mind... I think. (ugh, there I go again) (if you're confused, sorry I'm just jumbled around haha) Everything's been like... are you doing this right, are you doing that right? Are you living your life to the fullest???!!! And I feel like I've come up with a blank wall where I think no, you're not doing everything right and then that blank wall is "well how do you fix it?" and I just don't know. So when I'm going through my daily life I feel like Why. Why does everything have to be so stupid. Stupid in a way like "Why do I have to do stupid school? It's soooo long and sooo boring!" Sorry I'm saying 'stupid' a lot. I'm ranting - you were warned in the title. So, yes. Wow, I completely sidetracked from my meditating corner topic thinking about what I would think about in my meditating corner!  Well, I've decided. I definitely WANT and NEED a meditating corner. Unfortunately, I don't even have a bean bag. (cha-ching Christmas list!) No. I need a meditating corner now. To set things straight in my head before I start a whole new confusing, stressful week. I think I'll go find some pillows and move my radio. Bye :)

If you read that entire thing without thinking I'm crazy, I'm shocked. I really am. Haha, bye guys. :)

Christmas List (Part 1)

So for all the days up until Christmas, I will be posting one thing that's on my Christmas list along with any normal posts about my days/writing. I don't even know if I have fifteen things on my list but oh well.. :)

Wish Number One:

This is from Target.com ;)

This isn't on the top of my list, it's just a random one but I would really love to get this because I think it's so gorgeous and I don't have much jewelry! Happy holidays everyone see you tomorrow!

I'm Being Random. Cause I'm Sick.

What I'm Doing: I'm listening to Michael Buble Christmas over on Pandora and thoroughly enjoying Kristin Cashore's amusing post from today :)

I'm trying to think of what happened today but in ALL HONESTY I didn't do really ANYTHING. Nothing at all and that makes me guiltily happy (hehe). Because I am sick. I have a really minor illness upon me today (stomach ache and head ache) but I got to stay home for several personal issues other than my little illness. But it felt really good to have a day in bed in the middle of my chaotic week. But I know I will be really groaning all over the place tomorrow when it comes time for me to be presentable for school and take a quiz I missed in History class today. Ugh, oh well.

I guess I'll conclude with something happy to make me feel like I haven't left my blog post in a negative mood :P

Like a braid and books. Two of my favorite things. :)

Well Hello There Blogger.

I've had many blogs on Blogger before. None seemed to be updated frequently so now this is the only one... I think. I'll start fresh and HOPE I will post more often. I seem to just find it monotonous to write posts about myself on Blogger. So, this is my introduction. I'm Emma. I'm 13. I'm in love with hot cocoa and giggles around this time of the year. I have a small tree in my bedroom right now as well so that also makes me happy(: Sorry for grammar issues in posts. The only way I will get anything written is if I hurry up and say what's on my mind. So there you have it. That's all I feel like writing right now. I might post some stories on here... but you never know :P
