Like A Pretzel Hanging From A Bungee Cord

Last Monday was my birthday. Yay! So I figured it would be nice to give a shout-out to all of my bfffls (best female friends for life). Thanks to "Whatsername" the necklace is super cute and really sparklie (however sparkly? is spelled). I still need to decide what to buy at Wal-Mart though. The options are really endless. Thank you to my cello wielding friend, for the hair brush, which will actually probably come in very handy in the end, and for all the gum which I am already started to enjoy. Also for the socks, my meow meow loves them (she's a soft things addict). Kaitlyn Red Shirt didn't get me anything... I can't blame her though, topping a broken fire truck is pretty difficult.

I would also like to thank my family for their gifts. I got a new purple music stand, and my brother got me a bunch of Pokemon cards. I have this weird attraction to Pokemon cards, and if there was still a Pokemon league nearby, I would totally still play. Definitely the best though, was LEGO Batman (it's a videogame). On Saturday, I went with my dad to hang around the city while my brother was in art class. Once we picked him up to go home, my mom called and said to wait to come home for a little while. I didn't know it but she was getting my new computer set up (Thank you guys!). While we were waiting to go home we went to Graywhale and looked around. It was really weird, because LEGO Batman wasn't supposed to come out until the twenty third of September (Tuesday). Anyway, we bought it on Saturday and right now my brother is being really obnoxious trying to get me to play it instead of doing my blog for school. I read that last sentence out loud to him.

I was watching this episode of Arthur today, and every time Molly said some kind of threat to Muffy, some loud noise would happen for the duration of their conversation, then the noise would go away for the last phrase. Some of the last phrases were "Like a pretzel hanging from a bungee cord" and "like a snake sucking cheese through a water hose". Molly is so cool. She's this skateboarding fourth grader with a cut off jean jacket and she hangs out with Binky and his "cool" fourth grade friends.

I think it's about time for a playlist change. No, this does not mean anything besides Batman music, but it will be in a different order and I'm planning on adding some things from the village soundtrack. It's kind of a bummer, LEGO Batman doesn't have Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard's soundtrack for the videogame.

I really like the LEGO videogames because they're cute and fun for anyone. The controls are easy to understand and the game plays really well. There's plenty to do so you can also play it for a long time. Whenever you talk to someone about any of the games, they always tell you how much fun they are, whether they're 3 or 9 or 90. Lots of parents I know play it with their kids. The best part of it is how the LEGO characters never say anything (they just kind of mwah mwah mwah, like they're from a Peanuts cartoon) but you understand exactly what they're saying.

Lastly, I would like to conclude this blog with something that happened to me this week. I gave my violin teacher a CD of The Dark Knight a few weeks ago, and then yesterday when I had my lesson she was like "Track eight is my absolute favorite!" so I whipped out my iPod and sure enough, track eight is Like a Dog Chasing Cars, which happens to also be my favorite. That's why its numero uno on my playlist right now.


HAHA XOXO
