Why I hate the doctor

I had a doctors appointment today... I had to get a physical so I can play sports. Turns out i had to get 3 shots and the up the nose flu thingy... ugh... the one apparently will make my arm hurt for a couple days!!!! like i don't have enough problems with my arm already!

yours truly finnick

“Finnik?” I say. “Maybe some pants?”
He looks down at his legs as if noticing them for the first time. Then he whips of his hospital gown, leaving him in just is underwear. “Why? Do you find this”-he strikes a ridiculously proactive pose-“distracting?”
I can’t help laughing because it’s funny, and it’s extra funny because Boggs looks so uncomfortable, and I’m happy because Finnik actually sounds like the guy I met at the Quarter Quell.
“I’m only human, Odair.” I get in before the elevator doors close. “Sorry,” I say to Boggs.
“Don’t be. I thought you… handled that well,” He says. “Better than my having to arrest him, anyway.”


Fulvia Cardew hustles over an makes a sound of frustration when she sees my clean face. “All that hard work, down the drain. I’m not blaming you, Katniss. It’s just that very few people are born with camera-ready faces. Like him.” She snags Gale, who’s in a conversation with Plutarch, and spins him towards us. “Isn’t he handsome?”
Gale does look stricking in the uniform, I guess. But the question just embarrasses us both Given our history. I’m trying to think of a witty comeback when Boggs says brusquely, “Well don’t expect us to be too impressed. We just saw Finnick Odair in his underwear.”

i <3 finnick!!

i lovvvve candy!!!

yummmmm!! ok so i wasn't originally going to go out for halloween but my sister grace went as me- a softball player sooo i decided to go as her- a dancer.... NOT my best idea... she lent me like the tulliest (tool-e-ist) tutu thingy ever and it was FREEZING so i wore tights and leg warmers, ugh i swear i have never been in an itchier thing in my life!!! butttt im not gonna say it was entirely worth it - cuz it wasn't, but the candy did sweeten (hehe) the deal a littttttle bit!!!! sooo any suggestions for next year lollll!!!

Halloween!!

yay! its Halloween tomorrow!! i don't know if i'm going trick-or-treating buttt if i do i will be going as my sister... yeah it sounds stupid but if she goes out she is going to be me... as a softball player so if she goes out then i am going to go out as her- a dancer! oh and did i mention it SNOWED yesterday? well it did! we got about a 1/2 inch but it really only stuck to the cars... i am a summer person sooo i don't like snow... AT ALL!!! especially in October!! ick i'd rather have a blistering hot day than a foot of snow!! Since it was snowing my family stayed inside and we decided to scare my sister mads (short for Madeline). Mads lives at college and she came home this weekend to work and do laundry... while she was at work we decorated the house and picked out costumes.... my dad dressed as a clown and went outside with an old chainsaw that doesn't work and scared getting out of the car.... apparently she was VERY scared hehe.... when she came inside it was all dark and there was scary music playing, as she walked into the living room we jumped out as a ghost, my mom was a witch, my other sister grace a prisoner, and my little brother a skeleton. it was VERY funny!! hehe isn't my family awesome? lol i love you mads!!

from left to right- henry, my mom, me, my dad, and my sister grace!!

Henry!!

Thought this was funny- a tech-savvy witch!

Quote of the day (or until I find another quote I like)

“Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times?" Mo had said..."As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells...and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower...both strange and familiar.” - Cornelia Funke, Inkspell
I found this quote on someones profile on blogger while I was looking for a blog to follow.... I want to read this ..... need to go to the library!!!!

It isn't even HALLOWEEN!!

I was walking through the mall with my sister yesterday and we passed a build-a-bear store and there was a lady dressed in an elf outfit ringing a bell and yelling "come celebrate Christmas with build-a-bear workshop" um newsflash lady it isn't even HALLOWEEN yet! I'm pretty sure that you aren't going to get very much more business advertising Christmas before Halloween!!! ..... im adding on to this post because today i went to home depot to get copies of keys and they had it all a pine tree arbor thingy lots of wreaths and i didn't see ONE Halloween decoration!! not even one Thanksgiving decoration!!! oh jeez.....

Cuz im bored!!!

I'm very bored!!! hehe sooo i am online blogging.... i already watched the videos in my youtube recommendations and aswered my emails and went to swimming and now i need to wash dishes... ugh so i am stalling because the longer i forget about them the easier it is to forget about them!!! tomorrow is the darley bonfire!! yayayayay i'll et to see all of my summer pool friends!!! if your bored you should keep reading if you have something really important to do you should still keep reading (actually if its that important than you shouldn't have been reading this in the first place, you should be doing whatever it is that is really important) i am now listening to Never Shout Never on pandora.... do doo di da hehe! i made cupcakes today and they are delicious they'll be on my OTHER blog tomorrow ... hopefully ... im going to play piano in my room until my little bro goes to bed bye bye!!!!! uggg never mind he is going to bed now....... my throat hurts... well bye for now!!! i have softball tomorrow so you'll probably find a post about that tomorrow!!!

The Hunger Games!!!!

You might have noticed that my location on my profile is in District 11, Panem USA... Thats because thats where Rue is from and Rue was one of my FAVORITE characters in the hunger games! The Hunger Games are my favorite books EVER. Thats it, no question... Rue, Finnick, and Haymitch are my favorite characters in the books even though Haymitch is kinda a jerk in the 2nd and 3rd books because he doesn't tell Katniss anything, but he is the reason that they survive! I <3 these books and their great for like 12 and up but like my mom is reading them and she is not 12 so they're really good for anyone!!! And btw Gale is soooooo much better than Peeta!! Thanks for a great series Suzanne Collins! I just hope they don't mess the movie up!!!!

I love softball!!!

I love softball!! I had my first tournament since I hurt my arm pitching wayyyy back in July! Our first game was at 9:45 but I went to a fall ball game instead (I pitched there) then after my fall ball game we drove to Medford NJ and I pitched Chi Thunder's 2nd game. We won!!! yayayay!!  We lost our third game but I scored our only run tagging up on a caught fly ball! When I got home 7:30 ish I made my 6th 52 d-lish cookies!!! Sunday we had an early game. ick. We lost and went home early :( it didn't help that my little bro henry was sick (like throwing up sick ugh!) and then on monday I was veryyyy tired but thats ok cuz it was worth it!!! hehe... well I have to go blog about my cookies on my other blog!! below is the link to a video of a tournament I was at  in the spring I was playing for the 12u Delco Diamonds then!! enjoy!! I'm # 55 and the girl pitching at 5:17

Hey People!!!!

hey!!! So yeah I made a new blog!! Except I c an write about ANYTHING I want on this one, stories, quotes, day to day life, people... and you have to read it (well actually you don't but that sounds powerful!) soooo some things about me are........ I love swimming softball and baking. I love music (listening to it and playing... well attempting to anyway!) I have another blog called yummy stuff thats all about baking! and I am homeschooled, yeah I know homeschooled kids are all weird rght? WRONG! I am completely normal!! hehe Its a stereotype, a couple kids that are homeschooled are weird! But I'm not! I'll be homeschoooled till 8th grade and then I will go to a catholic high school (which is ironic because I don't know like any prayers and i don't have my first communion!) anywaysss... I have 2 older sisters -they were homeschooled from 5-8 grade too- and a younger brother! Be prepared for anything on this blog because I'm here and I'm not leaving!!!
