To Graeme Preston and Kevin Clawson

To Graeme and Kevin:
I never knew you. I never got the chance to smile at you in the hallways, or say hi. But I miss you. I remember when it happened. I walked into school one day, and I didn't know. And then I found out. And I didn't cry. The sorry creature I am didn't even cry. But I cried today. I don't go to Eisenhower anymore. I live in Florida now, and it happened a while ago, but it still hits me in these sudden waves of sadness and love. I miss you. I'm sure you are in heaven now, looking down on us from the stars twinkling above. We wish you were here. All of us. I'm going to meet you one day, though, we all will, and we will all be together the way it was always supposed to be. I'm sure of it. The Graeme Preston Foundation for Life is continuing to make a difference, and you have made a difference in all of our lives. You are still apparent in mine. We have not forgotten.
I miss you, Skateboarding Angels.
I love you, Skateboarding Angels.
I will never forget about you, Skateboarding Angels.
I hope you know that, and it gives you peace and solace in heaven.
RIP, boys. RIP.

The Owatonna Legend


Hello World!!!

I apologize for not blogging in a while. Like I said before, shift happens. Things progress. They get even better than they are already. Every day, something awesome happens, just adding to your repertoire of happy memories to relive. Also, I am forced to cast away the list that was growing rapidly, of the topics I wanted to touch on. It grew until it was insurmountable, so I'm simply going to keep current. Going with the flow!! :)

So anyway, yesterday I finished Entrapment, one of the best, and most relevant, books I have ever read. You people need to read it!!!! Especially Cement Dries Purple. I know you don't believe me, but you would like this one. Trust me. Have I ever steered you wrong?? (Wait, don't answer that....) It is complete and total awesomeness, told completely in chat. You know, like chat rooms and IMing. I would say that I am 50% Tamra, 30% Annie, and 20% Bliss. I want 50% Mitch, 25% Beau, and 25% Jasper. And you will know what I mean if you read the book. And, to reiterate, in case you did not get the message, READ THE DARN BOOK!!!!!!

In Science, I am doing Chemistry, something super interesting. (At least, to me. Others do not agree.) It is because everything is so COOL!!!! For instance, hydrogen peroxide. We should all know that water, or H2O, is made of 2 atoms of hydrogen, and 1 of oxygen. Well, hydrogen peroxide is also known as H2O2, and it has 2 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms. In other words, it is water, with one tiny little oxygen atom thrown in there. I should mention that hydrogen and oxygen make up the human body as well. Water is also essential to human life. So, you would assume that 2 atoms of hydrogen combined with 2 atoms of oxygen would not hurt you, right?? Wrong. Hydrogen peroxide can be fatal, if used in over 3% doses in medicine. It can also corrode human skin. Strange how something so small as extra oxygen atoms can make such a huge difference.

I've also found my favorite element. Carbon. It's actually quite cool. Did you know that it can form nearly 10 million compounds?? And that it is a basic building block in organic chemistry, and is present in every single living organism everywhere?? It can also take the form of one of the hardest substances (diamond), or one of the softest (graphite). Not to mention, it has the highest melting/sublimation point of all of the elements, and is the fourth most abundant element in the universe. Pretty powerful, huh??

Furthermore, on the top of my post, you will most likely notice a picture of David Oreck, otherwise known as the vacuum guy on TV that promises all of your money back and free shipping and a steaming iron thing. I just put a picture up there because he is such a darn cute old man :) :)

Yesterday, I went to an IMAX movie about sharks at the World Golf Village. It was appropriately titled "Sharks". The movie itself was OK, yet it gained me two new favorite animals!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay :) They are a whale shark and a sawfish. Did you know that whale sharks are as long as a school bus?? Awesome!!! I think they even replace manatees and walruses as my favorite...... too bad they are not at SeaWorld... Seriously, though, look them up on Google Images. You may even be amazed :)

And now onto a slightly more serious topic. Not really, but kind of. All of my friends think that they are in love. Yes, in love. Granted, they all slightly differ in degrees of obsession, let's call it, yet they still think that they are in love, and they have sort of resigned themselves to this fact, and stand by it like it is law. (Yes, I understand that I have an Adam Young obsession, and I would like to say that it is different. It just is.) But anyway, that is their belief, and I'm a little apprehensive about it, because we are still young and free :), but whatever floats their boat. Not my business. I would just like to take this opportunity to throw in a quote by John Donne, an English poet born in 1572. "Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies." So true. So, my advice: Don't fall in love with every boy you lay your eyes on. That's it. Don't fall in love with every boy you lay your eyes on. Take it or don't, that is my personal opinion, and I am not criticizing.

On a somewhat lighter note, I dyed Barbie hair on Friday. With some hair dye cream stuff I got a long time ago and was not willing to try on my own hair, as it is metallic pink, purple, red, gold, blue, silver, and pink glitter. It did not work well, let us just say that. :) It was actually fairly hilarious, as I was dying a chunk of synthetic hair red while Cement Dries Purple held my cell phone to my ear while I talked to a couple people on the phone, while the "gang" rode by, and Cement Dries Purple yelled "Hi". Spaz48 and I were so proud. Finally!!!!! :) A simple "Hi"!!!!!!!

They also held us after school on Thursday for a little over an hour, due to tornado warnings. Admittedly, two tornadoes did touch down south of us, yet I should not be sitting in my Science classroom at 3:15!!!!!!!!!! It was quite irritating :(

I would also like you to travel to a certain website. However, my dad says I can't put the link on here or whatever, as it "reveals my identity". So, my NJ readers, go to Google and type in my name. Then click on the 4th link. It is hilarious, and they call me a seventh grader. Text me for the whole story. It may leave some of you enlightened. (It has something to do with onion tacos.... hint hint......) Oh, and you can click on the second one too, if you want like the same story but with a picture of me. However, the picture is captioned wrong, which irks me. Ugh.

And, finally, I am so excited for this summer, when I go to Freeborn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My daddy is going to take me to Owatonna High on my grandpa's motorcycle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which is where Adam Young went!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I'm going to walk up the steps that he walked up almost every day for 4 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which is exciting for me!!!!!!!!!!!! Hence the exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Super cool!!!!!!!!!!! And I'm gonna find a way to break in and look at the yearbooks!!!!!!!!! (Kidding... or not... LOL) Cuz he's in there (the yearbooks)!!!!!!!!!!! And he was voted Most Unique Style!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And that is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And maybe he will be visiting for the summer or something!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I'll see him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like, at the gas station or something!!!!!!!!!! Dreadfully optimistic, but whatever!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-A Hopelessly Happy Maddie!!!!!!!!!!!! Love and vivacity.

Newspaper Worthy News!!!!


Hello, world!!
I apologize for having neglected my blog for so long. Life happens. School happens. Shift happens. So anyways, I have a lot to talk about. Actually, I have a list. (Yes, I make lists. I love lists. There is something so satisfying about simply going down and checking off what you have done. Oohhh, and I love to highlight them off. It adds a sense of colorfulness!!!) However, for now, I'll just do the basics, once more. I have a Science test and a History quiz tomorrow, yet I'll try not to rush... La la la.
Anyhoo, today I got interviewed by a newspaper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you live here, be sure to pick up a copy of The Sun on Saturday!!!!! You'll see me. I got called at school and it was a reporter named Katie. She just asked me some questions including "Why do you like spelling?" Umm, I don't really know, I just kinda do it?? I think I said something about how I love to use intriguing words in my writing, and how I love that there is only one right way to spell it.
Oops, got to go!!!!!!!! My closing question is: Do YOU like onion tacos??????????????????????? Cuz I don't.

Heroines in Hair Bows and Witches in Delias

Hello, my friends!!!!
I have not blogged in a while. Busy, busy, busy. So, as a result, I have tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons of stuff to talk about. But, I'll just cover the important points for now, how about that??
So, anyway, I went to the mall today. It was insanely abnormal and fun!! I got this really cool/pretty makeup case thing from Sephora, and an awesomeness shirt from Delias. It's a blue v-neck that says "Go (heart) your own city." Hello!!! Irritated and annoyed. Totally me. (You should've seen me on Thursday, when everyone at 8th Grade Fun Day was making me really annoyed. I was about to get annoyed at a certain someone that the person next to me (**cough cough** the spastic one) would have gotten annoyed at me if I got annoyed at him. I think. I'll ask her later...) ANYWAY, I also got a bunch of hair bows, my latest obsession (along with Sherlock Holmes and a couple songs...) Have I mentioned that I LOVE HAIR BOWS?!?!?!?!??!?!?! They are like little candy-coated clouds gently perched on the side of my head. Weird analogy, I know. Wow. The weirdness of that statement just completely hit me. Ok then. Anyways, I now have: a huge white one, a medium lace flowery one, a small white one, a small black one, a small brown one, a rhinestone white one, a rhinestone black one, a hot pink one, a purple one, an electric blue one, and my absolute favorite, a rhinestone zebra one. Hello!? Rhinestone zebra bow in short, preppy hair?? How me can you get??
Also at the mall were a group of witches whom are in my grade. (No offense to the witches. Ok, maybe.... but just a little.... you are not better than the rest of the population, FYI!!!!!!!!!! -From Me To Said Witches) They were looking at... interesting.... items. **hint hint** Let's say that if they treat me or my friends badly, I have some blackmail. Not that I'm exactly sure of the most effective way to use it, but, still. I've got it. Although, it may stand to make them more popular as well. Whatevs.
Bye!!!!!!!!!

Semester Exams and Spelling Bees


Hi!!!
Sorry, I didn't blog yesterday. Pretty darn hectic. Buttered popcorn, and hot chocolate, and freezing my butt off, and spelling stuff, and seeing Blondie, and watching really strange and hilarious movies, and studying for semester exams, and overall being a crazy goofball me doesn't really leave much time for blogging, so, yeah. And, I'm writing this one today. So, there will actually be correct grammar. (LOL ;)) And thanks to the people who wrote it last time!!!! Nice :)
OK, so yesterday, I won this Spelling Bee thing in St. Augustine. My winning word was "psychological". You would think they could come up with harder words than that, but whatever. So, I now have to go to the regionals. And I'm a loser, because I won. To quote another. It is actually quite a good quote, haha. I saw Blondie there. And, no, this is not referring to the famous Blondie with the music and stuff. It is quite a less famous Blondie. So, don't get excited!! (I don't really know why you would, just don't. Glad we have established that.)
Today I went to Barnes and Nobles to spend the $65 dollars I got in gift cards to there for Christmas. (I don't think people have gotten the memo that I have a Kindle, but I get CDs there too, so its OK. And, yes, I am absolutely aware that CDs are completely Medieval, yet I just love having the tangible music in my hand, as opposed to some virtual iTunes thing.) I got a couple Muse albums, The Resistance and The Origin of Symmetry to be exact, and they are COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY GENIUS, AND AWESOME, AND EVERYTHING GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL. So, yes. Trust me, Muse is almost Owl City level. Almost. (Owl City is, and always will be, the best music in the world. But Muse is a REALLY close second.) Anyways, if you have never heard Muse, then run out your door, hijack a car, and buy yourself some of their music, because it is phenomenal, except for the fact that Stephenie Meyer is like totally obsessed with it and that kind of ruins it. (Oh, and please don't hijack a car. Although, if you do, tell me how it goes, LOL. Once again, JK, JK ;)) Oh, and I also bought Romeo and Juliet (Shakespeare, duh.) It's really good so far. Definitely not Sherlock Holmes, though. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle still reigns supreme.
But, to sum things up, things have been REALLY weird lately. Good weird. Definitely good weird. Just a random, kind of good weird, and I don't really know where it comes from, I'm just kind of coasting happily. And, a couple of my friends have some theories that may not be true, but are still fun to entertain in spite of that. I both want it to be true, and I don't. But, whatever. I'm just me. That's not changing anytime soon, so I'm just goin' with it.
Bye!!!!

I'm posting a photo of him at the top of this, even though it is totally unrelated. It's currently my desktop!!!!!!!! :) I love this pic!!!! He has the same computer as me!!!!!

The Run On Sentence of Emptiness

Hello, Friends!!
Today, I have a new idea for my blog. I am not going to write it, Cement-Dries-Purple and Spaz48 are going to write it!!! Ok, here goes..
Cement-Dries-Purple says... like, so, um... I guess I'll tell you what happened to me today. So....... I was in gym and this super cute guy that's really short but not really just kinda a little, well first we were in the auditorium watching a movie because the gym was like 58 degrees Fahrenheit. :) so ya. anyways i was sitting there and he and his only sorta cute friend and his other only sorta cute friend were hottly crawling under the seats. But there was nobody sitting in the seats they called their 'path' because that would be really icky!!!!!! so ya. and then he absolutely sat next to me. uhhhhhhh (eye fluttering) Don't you think chickens are scary? I was riding the bus home and then I heard all these guys that I sorta kinda know. They were talking they were saying ok bye i'll see you tomorrow. And then I was like yay and then i was like they are not going to the other neighborhood and then so I started walking home slowly because the Silly Observer was at a spelling bee (LOL) and then I saw a crunchy leaf and i like crunchy leaves cuz theyre crunchy and they crunch and I like that noise. And then I passed it cuz I didnt wanna look like a freak crunching on a crunchy leaf **giggle giggle** so I slightly turned around but not noticeably sort of cuz i didnt want to look spastic like my friend so when I was turning around i totally saw the guy I like like 20 feet behind me and i totally started flipping out in my head cuz it would be weird if i started screaming out loud cuz nothing happened then when I got to my bushes I turned around and he was still there and he was walking on my side of the road and not his normal side of the road. Then I was very excited and went inside of my house where my mom said hi and i was still trying to look out the window cuz i wanted to see him and then she was like what are you looking at and i said nothing as i peered around her shoulder and then i went into my office and stared out the window until i realized i looked very strange and then my mom was like WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT in an angry voice and i yelled nothing and she got mad and then i walked away. The end :)
Spaz48 says... ok, so today Cement-Dries-Purple, The Silly Observer, and i were very spastic. But after all that is my middle name. So first, The Silly Observer came to my house and brought two Dixie cups with instant cappuccino mix in it. Shortly after she arrived, my mom went to drop my sister off for the night and we took advantage of this time. We boiled water and made un-edible looking slop stuff. It was made of cornstarch and boiled water. You should try it sometime. Finally, Cement-Dries-Purple came to my house and we had cappuccino drinks and ate lots and lots of chocolate. As you would expect, shortly after, we were bouncing off the walls. We made our own pizza and had a flour fight. My jeans started out blue and ended up white. Finally, we ended up writing this blog.
The Silly Observer: Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you say run on sentence?? Anyway, I just want to make sure that I am clear: I did not write this blog. The views expressed are not my own. I take no responsibility!!!
Bye!!! Live it up!!!

I NOW LOVE COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Hello!!!! I hope you had a good day, because I did!!!!!
I HAVE DISCOVERED A SPECIMEN OF COFFE THAT I ACTUALLY LIKE!!!! IT IS A CAPPUCCINO!!!! Yum, yum, delicious. My grandfather has introduced me to this wonderful concept, and my mom has said that when this mix runs out, I am never allowed to have it again. In not too many years, however, I will be a legal adult and I can drink whatever I want, and that will be a cappuccino!!! Once again, yum, yum delicicous! Try it, if you have never. It will change your life, LOL. JK JK. (Maybe... **evil laugh**)
Today I also tried pear yogurt. It was actually pretty good, even with the mushy little lumps of pear in it. Of course it was Yoplait. Yoplait makes all of the strange and crazy flavors out there, as I have established with my friend earlier today. Usually pear and yogurt don't really mesh, but this does. Trust me.
And, on a super happy and excited note, I GOT 3RD PLACE IN THE "OTHER" CATEGORY IN THE SCIENCE FAIR!!!!!!! GUESS WHO IS GOING TO REGIONALS?????? YES, MOI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO-HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Funno!!!! I love Science Fairs. They are fun. (Big shoutout 2 Smiley!!!!)
Anyways, got to go read Sherlock Holmes (my latest obsession). Have fun! Keep livin'!
-Maddie! (I wonder how many exclamation points I have in this blog.... I'm blaming the caffeine.... imagine me on hot chocolate, times 3. Yah. It's that bad, LOL)

Coffee Could Possibly Be Used as an Effective Torture Method


Hi, guys!!!!
I would like to tell you about my homeroom. I have Gym first period, so I have a hallway locker. A really good location, because me and my friends and my friend's friends can hang out there until Dean Paige comes by with the bullhorn. Plus, I have a top locker, and I don't have anyone underneath me, so I am not fighting for space (funny story... you'll have to ask me personally about that one...) But, anyway, then I go to the Auditorium until 8:00, which is when the torture of Gym class begins. Gym is actually quite a good homeroom to have, because you get the cushy, padded seats, and a huge screen to watch the often comical announcements on. Plus, I have two friends in there, so it's all good. (Until next semester, which starts in 10 days, which is when I get a new homeroom... Emergent Tech... ew...... and don't get me started on semester exams...) Anyways, I'm usually one of the first ones in, if I'm not wandering the hallways completing miscellaneous tasks. Of course, my two friends are always the last ones in, so I usually must sit in my seat until they come, and we can hang out until the bell rings. However, my seat is right next to a huge group of loud and obnoxious guys whose main topics of conversation are football (which I don't understand), food, and how deprived they are because their parents do not let them shoot squirrels with their BB guns. Anyways, today I got fed up, so I left and sat and just waited for my friends. They all shouted "bye" at me. It gave me satisfaction to leave them behind. Small pleasures.
Speaking of pleasures, today I tried strong, plain coffee today. It was the opposite of pleasant. I took one sip, made a face, and continued to eat my potato. Honestly, I would rather drink medicine. It was NASTY. I don't understand how people willingly drink that stuff. Like, ew. I now understand why Starbucks puts all the frilly stuff on top of and in it. Because, otherwise, everyone would drink it and spit it out. And how is that for business??
I have another topic to discuss. It is the Science Fair. Try to keep up, but you might not get it. So, today, in History, I found out that the Science Fair had just gotten a little more interesting, and I was excited. In spite of this, I then went to Language Arts and I wasn't so excited anymore. Actually, I wasn't excited at all. Because, I'm so DONE with all of this "interesting" rubbish. I mean, I have WAAAAAAYYYYYYY better things to do than even think about this. So, as a result, not only this particular interesting thing is DTM (dead to me), but the whole societal interestingness is DTM. For now. The entire middle school population of them is SSSSSOOOOO 7 hours ago. Totally. Keep up, will ya?? So, there are most DEFINITELY no Blocks of Wood in my future for at least another year. I've got all the time in the world. And, I advise everyone to do the same as me, if you even know what I'm talking about... And, you know what?? I'll find the best Block of Wood when I'm not looking for it. so, I'm just chillin' and livin'. It will just have to wait. WOO-HOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
Back to topics more people will actually understand... I'm going to a winter dance this Friday, sponsored by the cheerleaders. (Yes, cheerleaders... I've been friends with 3 of them in the last year, and some of them aren't bad. SOME!!!) But, anyway, they're "crowning the king and queen of the 8th grade". This makes me mad. You can bet that it will not be the people with the highest GPA, or one that is kind to everyone, or one that participates in school functions and community service. It's going to be the girl with the straightest hair, and the tightest jeans, and the one that walks like she owns the school, and treats everyone like she is sooooo above them. It's going to be the one that always has someone to hang out with, and the one that gossips about the A-listers and doesn't know my name. It's going to be the one that everyone knows about and secretly hates, the one that everyone in school not friends with her wants her taken down. It's gonna be that one. Just wait.

Spelling Bees and Substitutes


Hello!!!
Back with the Mac, and so much happier :)
Anyway, just wanted to tell you about this Language Arts substitute I had today. I know that I blogged about how I hate when kids are mean to teachers and stuff, but substitutes are the exception. Especially when they are crazy and share random tidbits of knowledge. Like the fact that we should not go to college (he used Paris Hilton to prove that one), "nobody needs to know my name", and "I don't need no dishwasher, I wanna wash 'em with my hands." Umm, ok, whatever floats your boat...
Also, I just wanted to let you know that you should never let a ten year old tweeze your eyebrows. This person at my lunch table did, and half of them are gone. They are also pointy....
And, finally, the spelling bee just got a tad more interesting. All I'm saying. Well, technically, not to me, yet to my friends... LOL :) they aren't even doing it!!!
-Maddie!!!!!!

Bad Television Nightly


Hi, guys!!!
I am coming to you from... a netbook. :( My Mac is getting updated, so I was downgraded to... this. So, if my post is short, it is probably because I am becoming insanely frusterated with these tiny keys and bad screen layout. See, my shoulders are already cramping from trying to type for so long on this tiny little thing. Ugh.
I'm sitting here on the couch, watching a Disney show that I have already seen tons and tons and tons and tons of times. This is because there is absolutely nothing at all on, except for junk and reruns that I've seen even more times than I've seen this one. Ew.
School is back on tomorrow. Ugghhhhh... joy.
Anyway, getting annoyed with this computer... TTFN!!!

Gas Station Food is Delicious


Hello!!!
So, today, I went to go see Sherlock Holmes at the movie theater. It was pretty darn awesome!!! I was afraid that the idea of it would be taken and loosely constructed into something much more theatrically and cinematically correct than what the books are, but it was both a great movie and true to the books! If you have time, you should totally go see it. I found it quite interesting, though others obviously did not. Some people were too busy creating licorice bows, LOL. But, anyways, it had a great plot line, and true Sherlock Holmes deduction and methods. Genius!!!
Also, I went to a restaurant where they had a fish tank that was meant to resemble the tank in Finding Nemo. The waiter said, and I quote, "See, there is Nemo and his dad and then some other random fishes." Well, the people I was with happened to notice that one such fish was dead. Lovely. So I told him, and he told the manager, and it caused quite a stir. It made me crack up. They wouldn't take it out, though. I really wanted to see it, because it was up really high, so they would've had to go on a ladder with the net and everything. I just hope that that fishie went to fishie heaven.
I would also like to touch on the subject of gas station food. See, everything in Florida seems to be connected to a gas station. For instance, I got my birthday cake from the gas station. Today, we also visited an orange stand, conveniently located in **gasp** a gas station parking lot. And, we got this big half bushel bag of oranges, and, boy those things were mongo!!! We weighed them, and they were 5 pounds each!!! JK, they were like 1/2ish, but, that is a large, pudgy orange. My theory is that the gas seeped into them and mutated them. Dun dun dun dun.
That's all for today, folks!!! See ya!!!
