2EmLee2

My younger brother is a scudding super-genius! He came up to my dad with his Periodic Table of Elements book and had my dad read him off the symbols one by one and he would say what element it was. Out of 118 elements, he got 115 with ease and 2 with a few hints, and only one we needed to tell him. Also, he’s in the sixth grade. What sixth-grader can list pretty much every element when just given it’s symbol? I honestly think he should skip a few grades. Or maybe all of them.

Today is the final 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century.

Also I have a kinda weird question- what do you think I look like? Because all we see of each other is a screen (except for you lucky people who can see each other IRL) so I’m curious at what I look like in your heads.

I was calling my cousin while shoveling the driveway when our conversation went a little something like this:

Cousin (C): Hey, I got a new book from the library and it’s really good.

Me (E): Cool, what is it?

C: Let me read you the first paragraph. [Gets book] Only fools climb to the surfa-

E: I KNOW WHAT IT IS, I KNOW WHAT IT IS!!!

C: What is it, then?

E: Skyward, by Brandon Sanderson!!!

She said she really likes it so far and I’m sooo glad my constant talk about how Brandon Sanderson books are amazing finally paid off!

I’m going to go to the library tomorrow-are there any books I should get to read over Christmas break?

I guess Ookla season is over now, huh?

Also, today was my church’s Christmas program thing and I was in one of the songs so me and my mom went 30 minutes early so we could practice with everyone else. But after practice/before church actually started, we had to pick up the rest of our family, but they were running late and by the time we got to church, my part was already over. Dang it.

awww cute little kitty is snoring 

I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

No more school for another two whole weeks!

yessssssssss

IT CAME! THE M-BOT PIN CAME!!!

Current status: Procrastinating homework.

Reasons: 1: Homework sucks. 2: I've spent all afternoon rereading all the scenes with a specific character in the Ember in the Ashes series because the character growth is amazing and I have not stopped thinking about the series ever since I finished the final book on Saturday because I want to talk about it with someone but my friend (who is also reading the book) isn't even halfway done with it and it feels like I'm going to burst if I don't talk about it with someone because I am MAD that

So I just finished A Sky Beyond the Storm- book 4 of the Ember in the Ashes series.

And.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

My spoiler-y thoughts/rants on the book: (Read at your own risk!)

If you have not read the series, then I suggest you do. 'Tis good.

Yesterday I did a White Elephant Gift Exchange and got a cute little Lego yellow-and-blue bug that has fire coming out of its butt while riding a skateboard.

I was going to name it Zoomslug (Like Doomslug but fast) but I realized it was a bug, not slug, so now its name is Zoombug

Exactly a year from today, the Shard will have a new member!

So y'know the twelve-day giveaway thing Brandon Sanderson is doing? Well, I tried to send the E-mail for it, and this was sent back:

What do I do?????

Sigh.

I'm tired.

Wanna know why? Three reasons:

1. School.
2. Lack of sleep.
3. My younger sister constantly arguing with everything and whining and being like a stereotypical teenager even though she's still in elementary school. (I love her, but she's the one person on this planet who can infuriate me.)

Also yesterday my dad put me in charge of all my siblings (Even Enter, who's older than me), and in charge of making sure my mom doesn't give in to my sister's whining and begging. Because my mom is too nice and needs to use her mom voice once and a while.

Being responsible can kinda suck at times.

(Also, random question, what do normal people do when they invite friends over when your friend has only read one Sanderson book, and that was because we had to read it at school?)

I decorated cookies!

There is a Christmas tree, a forest, a 'Merica cookie (My friend made it), a snowflake (which I traded to my friend for her 'Merica cookie), and a cookie I tried to decorate like the background on the cover of Cytonic.

mmmmmm cookiesssssssss

On Thanksgiving morning, I did something known as the ‘If You Give A Mouse A Cookie” effect.

If you give EmLee something to put in the fridge, she’ll want to make room so it doesn’t spill.

If she wants to make room, she might just want to organize everything in the fridge.

If she organizes the fridge, she might want to clean out all the shelves and throw out expired food.

If she cleans the shelves, she’ll notice the gunk 1/12th of an inch thick and pull out the shelves to wash them in the sink.

If she does all those, things, she might want to do the same thing to the freezer.

But then I realized we still had many things to prepare for Thanksgiving and decided to clean the freezer out another time.

Fast forward to Saturday, and I received a package. And in that package, was a book. And the title of the book was… (drumroll please…) CYTONIC!!!

Then I started reading and finished it during dinner the same day.

And I brought it to school today and talked about it with two of the teachers who read Skyward last year, and a bunch of kids commented on it.

I made a turkey!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

We ordered Cytonic from a local bookstore so it won’t get here until NOT TODAY [Exasperated noises]

This is weird.

I just got back from the dentist where I got my first filling.

Rewind a few weeks where I went to the dentist and found out I got a cavity! Whoop-de-freak'n-do. I felt around in my teeth and found a small hole I could feel with my tongue. It was on the bottom right side of my mouth.

Now back to now.

I was listening to the dental assistant and she said they were filling in a cavity on my upper right, not lower. I asked her about it, and turns out I had five cavities, not just one.

...yeah. Not a pleasant surprise.

The assistant numbed the area and I got the shot to numb the nerve (didn't hurt as much as I thought is would- thanks, numbing cream!). A movie was turned on and the cavity was filled as normal. When I was done, I was amazed at how weird numbness feels. My upper right teeth felt like rocks and my gums just felt like... nothing.

On our way home, we got some Chipotle and I tried some of my soda. And I'll tell you now, it is so. weird. You cannot feel the carbonation of the soda on the numbed area, so there's just this area that seems to just not exist.

As I said, this is weird.

After watching eight episodes of the Great British Baking Show, all the voices in my head now have British accents. So reread this SU in a British accent, and that would be absolutely splendid.

Something really weird happened. A week ago I had a sickness that seemed to last only two days in its severity. But, yesterday at a youth activity, I stared to feel really weird. I'm not sure if I can describe it, but I'll try. Imagine you're standing on top of a very tall cliff, looking down, there are no guard rails, and you can't back up. A soft breeze picks up and you start swaying, an it feels like you're falling. That is what it felt like, except for the can't move part. That weird feeling spiked whenever I moved my head and I became super unstable. I left early and my mom took me home. Then, I started feeling nauseous, so I laid on the couch and fell asleep for a few minutes. When I woke, I tried to eat some soup my mom made because we think I haven't eaten enough for all the things I did that day and just had low blood sugar or something, because I was running on almost no food for when I did the plank/lunge test in PE, my ballet practice, and then going to the youth activity. I couldn't eat very much because it felt like my stomach just didn't want anything, so I laid back down and tried to get my head to stop spinning. Awhile later, I barfed.

*sigh* I guess there's no school for me today.

I'm starting to feel better and my head doesn't feel weird unless I move it too fast, but I had to stay home because you can't go to school 24 hours after throwing up.

And my sister said I ruined her life and she hates me and I'm no longer her sister and our parents love me more than her and stuff like that.

Yep my life is awesome right now. :[

I want pointe shoes.

A lot of stuff has happened in the last few weeks. For example: I was a Ravenclaw for Halloween! I read all 3 Reckoners novels! I’m sewing a turkey! I'm doing my 3rd read-through of the Stormlight Archive! Yaaaaaaaaay!

So, anything interesting happen on your end of the computer?

Somebody please tell me to stop procrastinating and do homework.

Something very exiting happened today that deserves celebrating!
