Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello all! How are you doing? HMMM? :D I'm swell. Well, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and we're having quite a few people over, so I doubt I'll be on. What are your plans for Thanksgiving?

Whatever they are, I wish you the best! That's all. (:

A Little Anthem for the American People

Let's Start a Riot--Three Days Grace.

Don't take it too seriously. Unless you want to.

Honestly, I'm completely convinced that Obama will show his true colors in his second term. That is, if he has one. America still has a chance, if the Electoral College is smart enough to say that Obama doesn't need a second term.

He sickens me, and I won't waste my post talking all about him. Here's a few little facts(I guess you could call them).

- Obama promised not to run for a second term unless he cut the deficit in half. Did he? No.

- Liberal media (i.e CNN, MSNBC) didn't talk about when people would click on Romney's name (on the electric voting machines) and it would go to Obama, but did when you clicked on Obama and it went to Romney. Which, the video that the 'victim' posted told it was legit, not edited, but it's very sketchy. 

The video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdpGd74DrBM

- Yesterday in Ohio, a couple went to vote, but when they tried, people told them they cannot vote AGAIN. As in, someone had voted for them.


So that's all for today. Enjoy your lives, as much as you can.

Just a little update.

Hey, I know it has been a while since my last post. But I'm back! Things were a little crazy after it. I went to a rally in North Caroline to go see Mitt Romney, which was an amazing time. My sister and Mom went with. My sister, Carlie, shook his hand. My grandparents were the ones who invites us, although, since we had some family there, they decided to go last minute.

Another thing is that the election is in less than 24 hours!

My parents are really stressed out about it.

A few more things have happened, my parents went to Michigan to visit my brother and his kids(well, that was mostly my mom (; ), and my dad went hunting. He shot a deer with a bow-and-arrow. A perfect shot, my Great Uncle Joe said. Just my parents went up there, and us kids stayed home, but my Grandparents came to stay with us for 4/5 of the days my parents were gone.

Alsoooooo, "Imagine," the first copy of that magazine my poem The Beauty of Art came out a few days ago on Amazon. Hee-hee. THAT'S convenient. (;

My final thing is that NaNoWriMo started and I don't think I'll have the time to do it. :/
Next year, hopefully.

I will be back soon with a new outfit, more about what's going on, about what I think of who won the election (hopefully Romney).

 Until then, I ask you this question:

If you could vote (or if you are): who would (or are!) you vote for?

My answer is Governor Willard Mitt Romney, of course.

Shaking as I write.

Okay, I received an email today. Firstly, before I begin, i apologize if my typing is a little off--I'm shaking as I write. OMG.
Alright, I'll go on. A while ago, I entered a few of my poems into the Whit Ash Literary Magazine contest and I got an email just recently saying the following:

I am literally bursting at the seams. I want to cry. But instead I'm shaking like I'm freezing.

OH MY GOSH.

Thank God, thank God. <3

Asheville, North Carolina.

It has certainly been a while. Wow. Well, I'm here with some excited news on my behalf. About a week ago, my grandparents were invited to go see Mitt Romney in Asheville North Carolina for a rally. You may not know this about me, but now you do: I love politics!
I'm very involved in what's going on in our government, my entire family is. So this was a big thing. The rally was free, sure, but it was pretty hard to get into, nonetheless get a good seat. My grandparents invited my entire family, or whoever was able to go. All of my family was excited, really hoping we could go.
Unfortunately, my Mom wasn't sure if we could afford it; we still have many trips for the rest of the year. We all kind of deflated there. I mean, how many times do you get to see the next president of the United States speak just yards in front of you, possibly shake his hand!?
We got this news on a Wednesday. On Thursday evening around dinner time, my mom asked me to see if the coupons she was trying to print out did. I walked over, watched the printer spat out the paper and told her it did. Next to the printer, was the computer which it was attached to. I sat in the chair and was going to browse the internet. So I looked at the computer screen and my mom just-so-happened to leave what she was printing out up.
Now let me tell you - they weren't coupons. They were three tickets to go see Mitt Romney six hours away in Asheville, North Carolina. My sister and I had a conniption. So we packed our bags for a day, and hopped into the car at five thirty in the morning the next day (we would gain an hour in NC). They let people in at 3:30. We were awfully scared if we would get in - there was talk about if you're not there by 3:30, you may not get in.
SIX HOURS PEOPLE. To get some where we may not even be able to get into! Anyhow, we got in, yes we did. Around 4 o'clock. And GUESS WHAT. Near him. Less than 8 yards away! Also, Mike Huckabee was there. Love him too. :-)
 We enjoyed being there, even if we had to walk a mile to get back to the car with our aching feet. So...guess what...
My sister shook Mitt Romney's hand.
I didn't get to, though. ; -( Some guy with B.O shoved his way in front of me. For a while, I was mashed up against two guys. Couldn't move. I kept telling my sister that I was squished. She just laughed. ;-(
BUTTTTTT. OMG. It was amazing. I got to see my grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousins. Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, John Boehner, and a bunch of local people.
Oh, and anyone watch the VP debate last night? Joe Biden ticked me off. Anyway. Yeah. Gotta go. Dinner!

New life.

Matched

That's where I am. As you may know from my previous post, I'm on vacation here. Yay, vacation. Anyhow, I probably metioned(if I didn't, now I am) that I don't have Internet access at my grandparent's cabin. That is still true, but I'm writing this at the library.

Ha-ha, I found some way to get to the library. Actually my grandfather offered because he loves it here too, and I just-so-happened to want to go. I decided that while I'm here, since I can get on the computer for free, why not update my blog? I think I'll do a book review. On a book. Called Matched.  For some odd reason this computer doesn't show that I can put italics or anything. :\  But anyway, this book is by Ally Condie.

This book is about a girl named Cassia who lives in a society where the government knows everything. The book begins on the night of Cassia's match banquet. A match banquet is where you get matched with someone who you will marry. You pretty much eat, wait until your name is called, and then see who you'll be with for the rest of your life. Well, until you're eighty and you're pretty much put to sleep (I mean you eat food and ten minutes later you're dead).

No living longer than that.

Anyway, Cassia's at her banquet with her best friend Xander, and her name is called. Normally, the face of her hubby would pop up on the screen and they would smile at each other until the face dissolves into black again. Alas, Cassia's screen stays black. Then all of the sudden, someone walks on the stage and says that Cassia is, in fact, matched with her best friend Xander.

Yay, happy ending! Not so much. The story continues on as she takes her box that tells about her soon-to-be-hubby and BAM. That face isn't Xander. Well it was, but now it's Ky. As in, her other friend. The Abberation. Buuuuuut, the Society doesn't make mistakes y'all. That means this was a "cruel joke," as Cassia's officer put it.

But Cassia can't help but notice things she didn't  before she knew Ky was an Abberation. He's sweet, gentle, nice--everything she likes. But so is Xander...

Join Cassia in a huh-uge adventure as she falls for Ky, drifts from Xander, and rebels against Society.  It is quite entertaining. 

I love this book and am off to read Crossed, the second book and to rage about how once I finish Crossed, the third book won't. be. out. yet. Not until Nov. 13th.


Ah well, enjoy yourselves and I do hope I'll have pictures of camp to show you!
