A post about long, loud, high pitched screams

I find it very hard to start a post.


   Okay, I have decided to post about Aliese and the fun we have together.  Well . . . the fun I have playing with her.  When I say "playing" I mean teasing, and when I say "teasing" I mean scaring her.
   Aliese is not only easy to scare, but she is fun to scare.  In California we have a really dark hall, so when Aliese goes in the bathroom (which is at the end of the hall) I follow her.  When I hear the toilet flush, I put on this really serious and scary face expression, and wait.  Than she opens the door and see's the outline of a dark figure.  What does she do?  She screams.  Long, loud, hallarious, high pitched scream.

At times, I think Aliese is scared of me.

(evil laugh)

I am a green eyed girl get it?

Who?  Me.  Greens eyes.  I wouldn't mind if someone called me that, it's better then blue eyes anyway.


     Okay look, I have nothing against blue eyes I'm just proud I have green eyes.  At wish yesterday someone told me I had blue eyes.  "No, I have green eyes."  I say, than she says "Really?"  feeling very close to this person I say " No . . . I know what color of eyes I have, they are most definitely green, thank you very much."  she gets closer, than she says " No, no I think there blue."  ready to yell " I KNOW MY EYES BETTER THAN YOU SO BE QUIET!!!"  I said slowly so she could hear me clearly "Take my word for it."  she gets closer " Oh!  They are green!"  Oh wow I was right!  I knew what color of eyes I have!  I can't believe I'm that smart!  Duh.
 

This is totally Gracie

So this was totally weird for me.  I always thought Gracie waas some what of a normal kid.  But then . . . . I saw her with kids her age.

     
          So I take two hours of ballet a week.  Tuesday and Wensday.  On Tuesday I go with Gracie, but on Wensday I went alone.  And mom teaches my teachers kids like an hour and a half before my ballet.  So I go with mom to teach her kids and stay there until ballet starts.  Get it?  So I stay there for an hour and a half drawing our something until my ballet starts.  But Gracie said "I want to do two hours of ballet too!" So I go with her now.  Her ballet class is right before mine.  So we wait for like fifteen minuts untill her ballet class starts and I watch her class and than right after hers mine starts.  So I watch Gracie with a whole bunch of girls heer age do ballet.  And what have I noticed . . . .?



      Gracie is a total TEENAGER!!!  She talks way more than all the other girls, and uses totally different words, it just sounds different when she says it.  It's HILARIOUS!!!  She sings Taylor Swift songs and stuff like that.  She is a . . . a . . . I don't know, a total girl!  She wears lip gloss everywhere and buys purses and jewlery.  And I never noticed it untill that ballet class.  She would say stuff that I wondered wow . . . did she really say that?  Yes.  Yes she did.
      Well it's not really her fault, it's me and Aliese.  Aliese it a teenager, and I am just as giggly and girly as her if not more so.  Me and Aliese laugh sometimes nonstop.  We primp, and look in the mirror.  Sing songs twenty four seven.  It's totally me and Aliese.
     Okay, after all this your probably like "Anna I don't believe you" but to make it a little more believeable she is still afraid of toenail clippers and hates taking showers.  She still wines, and wines, and wines, and hits, and scream's, and demands.  Yep, so I guess she's only half teenager.   

Four good but pointless reasons why Jane Austin days were the time to live

      I love Jane Austin.  For many many reasons.  There are times when I can't help myself and I lock myself in the bathroom and talk to myself in a British accent.  Once when I had an ugly cold and I spent all day on the couch for a week I had a Jane Austin marathon.  I watched the first and second part of Pride and Prejudice and then ate something and than watched the other pride and Prejudice and than ate something and than watched Sense and Sensibility.  Good times.  I have tried and tried to read Pride and Prejudice and I have liked it a lot but just taken to long.  I have gotten as far as fifty pages and have really enjoyed it.  I started again today.  Now mom counts it for school,  I read maybe two chapters and write down a word that I don't know the meaning of and look it up in the dictionary and write my own sentence with that word, I love it!



1.  We have maids.  Oh maids!  Maids who clean my room and sweep the floor and make our beds and most of all do the dishes!  Why do you have to be rich to hire a maid?  Why can't everyone have maids like back then?  Oh man, I want a maid like crazy.

2.  No school.  None.  No math, no history, no science, Nothing.  Lucky ducks.  My only question is what do they do all day? Well they needle point pillows and paint tables and play the piano.  Oh and they draw.  Talk about heaven.  I mean seriously those were the days to live.  No school, no chores.  It was Saturday everyday for them,  half of my day is school.  Well . . . not really half but almost.  I just have to say it one more time.  No school.  No chores.  Heaven. 

3.  Their dresses.  Okay, I like love fancy ball gown flowy dresses.  What girl doesn't?  To wear one of there dresses for a whole day would be a dream come true.  I just love the style and I would just love to wear it.  I would feel so pretty and natural in those dresses.  The only problem about the dresses is that if I ever wore them I would not stop twirling and dancing.  I just love those dresses so much and I don't know why.  You know what I found out?  Well aparently all the Jane Austin movies share dresses.  Mary Ann wore a dress Lizzy wore in the movie.  And Jane wore a dress that someone else wore( I don't remember who) and so on. Have you ever noticed that?  So I started paying closer attention to there dresses when we watched the movies but I really could tell.  Clever people.  Saving money.

4.  Balls.  I want to go to a ball.  Proms and dances are just not the same.  You have a real live orchestra right in front of you. I would spend a half hour just staring at all the instruments.  Then I would spend the rest of the time dancing . . . oh I would dance all night!  All those fun jumpy songs they play . . . they all look like there having the time of there life, and there always laughing and smiling.  All those twist and turns, and jumps and twirls looks SO fun!!!!   Of course there are other pretty dances like the one that Lizzy and Mr. Darcy dance to that is slow and sort of depressing, but in ballet we listen to the same piece of music!  There the same except the one in ballet has lots of violins playing instead of just one, and the one in ballet is faster and better!  Every time my teacher plays this piece I bob my head and hum while doing the exorcize.

        My dream is to be in a Jane Austin play.  Most likely that will not happen.  A girl can dream.   

Harry Potter all over again

Oh I'm devastated.

This isn't fair.

It can't be true.

WHY!!!!!


         Okay I have pulled myself together and I'm ready to tell you what has happened.  So you know a post or two ago when I was talking about that amazing book and movie Flipped?  Well I don't know if I told you that Aliese started reading it aloud to us.  We spent two or so weeks in heaven and than died all over again when it was done.  First Harry Potter than Little House on the Prairie and than Disnyland.  We were lost and troubled souls.  But than the book Flipped pulled us out of the depths of despair and we were saved!  We got the movie and oh how we loved it.  Than rather suddenly and without warning mom took it back to the library and what were we left with?  Nothing.  Me and Gracie through a tantrum.  Than the heavens opened once again and every day we escaped into the world of Flipped.  For to weeks we had something to hold on to.  And than . . . . just the other day . . . . didn't even have the book.  We fell down down down down past the depths of despair and into nothingness.  When the movie was gone we would say " At least we have the book" but than we didn't.  What do we do know?  What do we think about? What do we have to look forward to?  The only heaven we have these days is when we are watching Avonlea.  Yes.  I suppose that does mean that we are holding on to something.  But we don't watch it everyday.  So . . . . we are left in the depths of despair.

Oh this world of ufortunate events.

 Oh this world of disappointment.

Oh this world of lessons to be learned.  Even though I wasn't taught a lesson because of this.

Weather forecast and some other things

        Maybe a week ago I was getting out of bed with a blanket and robe, I was starting to get hopeful thinking that it is finally going to cool down.  Well my friend I was wrong. 
         Mornings are okay and mom says "It feels great out here!  You should go to the park!"  Not me.  Nope.  By ten o'clock the sun is burning and you are sweating.  I can't imagine getting up with a blanket anymore.  Last week wish was canceled because it was 106 degree's out there, and our building is hotter inside than out.  Can you even imagine?  All I have worn to wish at all is skirts, skirts and the shortest shorts I can find(witch really aren't that short) but mainly skirts.This new weather forecast is driveing mom insane!  She comes back from the grocery store and what do we hear . . . "Oh, it is SO HOT out there!!!"  just what we want to here, she's basically saying we can't go to the park today.  It's like we're snowed in.  We only go out side when we have to.
          Now for some other annoying stuff.  She's seven, she has brown hair and blue eye's . . . . ding ding ding!  Gracie.  She hasn't really done anything wrong it's just super annoying.  Her cloths.  Oh boy it bugs me big time.  Gracie chooses a church dress and tap dancing shoes to wear for a week or so.  Yep.  She wears the same church cloths every single dirty day of the week.  She eats, plays, sings, dances, plays in the dirt with the same cloths.  Oh man, they are dirty, they are super dirty.

I'll try to hold on till she grows out of it, love you.

Flipped over flipped

You know what I'm talking about?

Probably not.


Flipped(sigh) is an unbelievably awesome book.  And movie.  It's about a girl who has a huge crush on this boy who hates her cause she is so annoying . . . but things change.  Anyway, Aliese's friend let her barrow it cause she thought she would like it.  So . . . Aliese read it.  And loved it.  And in three days she finished the 212 paged book and started mopeing about the house like me with Harry Potter(but not as bad)  she looked to see if the library had the movie and after finding out that they did she couldn't stop saying "Oh I can't wait!" or "This is agony!" or "I can't wait much longer!" sounding like me when I have to go to the bathroom during the dishes.  Aliese reminded mom to get flipped millions of times before she went to the store, and when she got home we're like "Where is it?  Where is it?"  and she forgot it.  When she was gone me and Gracie got excited and anxious too.  Than when mom got back she made us wait a half hour till we watched it because she would be gone.  So we waited a stupid HALF HOUR!!!

Mom left.

There was no silence.  As soon as mom shut the door Aliese climbed down from her loft, I shut the computure and Gracie shut her mouth. We ran to the couch put the DVD in the DVD player and press menu.  There it was . . . . the menu . . . . we listend to the music for a sec than . . . . we pressed play.
        After about ninty minutes of laughing, sighing, crying, admiring, even yelling it ended.  Than we listened to the theme song "pretty little angel eyes" from the fifties(that's when it takes place) and danced to it.  Than it went back to the menu.  All was still.  Than me or Gracie asked if we could watch it again.  "Do you really want to?"  me and Gracie nodded.  So . . . . we watched it again!  It's the kind of movie you can watch over and over again and never get tired of.  It got better and better.  We probably have watched it eight times in five day.  I'm not kidding!  Plus the special features that we watched just as many times.  So we are really obsessed here.
       We quote it all the time.  And the actor who plays one of the main characters is from austrailia but he can talk with out the accent.  But in the special features he talks with it and I quote him all the time with the accent and Aliese laughs every time.  We have gone one whole day without watching it so that is pretty impressive.  I hope we can watch it at least one more time before mom takes it back.  I even had a dream about it.

Well got to go.  Love you!
