Tonight was another Girl Scout night, but Kara didn't come over. Her mom thought she had too much homework. At Girl Scouts we made rainshaker and guitars. The guirtar had five and the rain shaker had lots of beads for shaking inside covered tube. The guitar is a shoebox.

Today will be great. Sarah is coming over and - this is cool - SLEEP OVER! We're going to Celebration Station. We're only going on the inside because it's too cold.

First snow! I love snow. There is something strange about the snow. It snows on Thursdays. But once it snowed on a Wednesday. I don't get it.

I know I can't follow that up but I do have a CD i made in i think 6th grade that we had to make a bunch of fake songs and a name for the CD and put it on the insert. here are my lovely songs from when I was 10/11
Feelings of the Heart
1. Hatred is like a Storm
2. Bottomless Abyss of Despair
3. Crazy, Confused, Cool
4. Thump! went my heart
5. Sadness Raindrop, Madness Storm
6. The Sun is my Happiness
7. My Heart wants to Break Away
8. Elegant, Exquisite Essence
9. Raining on my Sunny Day
10. A'Crying, A'Sighing
I thought I never had a teen emo phase, but it looks like this was it. Bonus - I had to write lyrics for one of the songs.
Crazy, Confused, Cool
Refrain
'Cause I'm crazy, yes I am
I'm mentally insane
'Cause I'm confused, yes I am
They get mad when I complain
'Cause I'm cool, yes I am
Never get upset, never pained...
Stanza
People always talkin' bout me
It's amazing they can't really see
They think I'm just really cool
But they don't know I'm also a fool
'Cause I'm crazy and confused as well
Nobody can ever really tell
(the concept of not having rhyming lyrics was something i was not familiar with)
