My birthday

It is time to celebrate the day of my birth! Today will make 17 whole years that I have been able to survive on this earth. I'm so excited because I'm almost old enough to be on my own, although this might mean that I will have to start using anti-wrinkle cream!

I might be getting a laptop for my birthday. My mom was going to buy me a prom dress with her tax money, but I have decided that I would rather have a laptop than go to prom. I think that a laptop will go further than a dress and it will be a little more useful. Also, there is still my senior year to go to prom.

Sixteen Going on Seventeen

(Rolf)
You wait little girl
On an empty stage
For fate to turn the light on

Your life little girl
is an empty page
that men will want to write on

(Leisl)
To write on

(Rolf)
You are 16 going on 17
Baby its time to think
Better beware
Be canny and careful
Baby you're on the brink

You are 16 going on 17
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads
And grueways and cads
Will offer you fruit and wine

Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken

You need someone
Older and wiser
Telling you what to do
I am 17 going on 18
I'll take care of you

(Leisl)
I am 16 going on 17
I know that i'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I believe

I am 16 going on 17 innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies
Drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those

Totally unprepared am I
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared am I
Of things beyond my ken

I need someone
Older and wiser
Telling me what to do
You are 17 going on 18
I'll depend on you

Yearbook fun

I have big news for you. My school's 2009-2010 yearbook is going to be awesome! This year, we are using a new online program to create our yearbook. We have interesting templates, clip art, and pop ins that we can add to our book. I just finished some of the pages that I'm assigned to which are the junior pages. I'm pretty proud of myself because it looks great. This year on the staff has been different because we get a say in how the layout is going to be. In the past, we wrote captions and didn't get the chance to be creative with it. This time, we will get to help create an exciting history book that will only be published for a limited time! If you didn't buy one, I feel very sorry for you because it is going to be the best one so far!
