Italy

I'm back from ITALYYYYY!!!! I am NOT JOKING when I say that we LITERALLY took over 1,000 pictures!! We had to buy new memory cards!! IT WAS SO FUN!!! I saw the Colosseum, museums, Pompeii, Florence, museums, Pisa, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, museums, Venice, Rome, and more museums!! And, since we took hundreds of pictures, and now that school has started, I doubt I'll ever sort through all of them!! Ah, well, maybe next summer...

Music- My Favorites!!!

I've come to a realization. My blog is titled after music and books but I never really talk about them. So...
I love to listen to Jordin Sparks, Selena Gomez, and Taylor Swift. My favorite song is DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love by Usher, but I don't listen to any of his other songs, because I haven't heard them... XD I am so clueless!!! Anyway, my favorite song by Jordin Sparks is Freeze, it's REALLY good, my favorite song by Selena Gomez is Live Like There's No Tomorrow, and my favorite song by Taylor Swift is Untouchable. Listen to these songs, they're really good!!! Tell me what music you like the best and would recommend!!!

Whoopsie....

Hey....... Sorry I haven't been blogging........ In a while......... But you know how summer is. You're really "busy". XD AKA, being lazy, reading all day, laziness... XD And I kind of ignored the computer for a while..... Heheh, my bad.... XD And now I'm at this chemistry course at Northwestern University in Evanston, Chicago, and they have lots of homework, as in 4+ hours of it. So, I'll see what time I have to blog!!

Bored in Summer

Here's how my summer's been so far: I have Jazz Band three times a week, and French lessons every Monday and Thursday. That's it, so you can imagine how bored I am. There are only a few things that take away my boredom: texting, blogging, and playing computer games with my brother Ian. And I don't even blog that often. Believe it or not, I haven't read a book in weeks!!! I should do that... Believe this or not either, I haven't practiced my flute in a while!!! Farewell, I'm off to play my flute!!! :D

Chicago+Pictures!!!

You all know that I went to Chicago over the weekend, and... (drumroll) I have pictures!!!

Just some random buildings.

A view of the city from afar.

Another view of the city from a park (just ignore the concrete and believe me when I say that it's a park, cuz it actually is.) :D

An AWESOME art store called Arts and Artisans.

An AWESOME ring I got at the art store!!!

This thing in Chicago has a variety of names- Sara calls it "The Bean," my mom calls it an egg, but I call it, "The Bubble." It has a reflective surface that warps the world's reflection!!!

My reflection on the Bubble- it's not very warped- and my seven-year-old (he's very tall) brother is making the usual weird face right behind me. :D

My bro checking himself out!!!

My mom and I in front of the Bubble!!! You can see my brother taking our picture in the reflection. :D

The inside of the Bubble!!! It's even cooler to actually stand inside it!!!

My bro and I- don't we look a lot alike??? Tell me if we do or don't!!!

Ian messing around- it's just physically impossible for him to stay still. XD

On most of the sidewalks in Chicago, there are these huge flowerpots, and Ian and I love racing each other to them and sitting on them. In this picture you get a good idea of how tall he is!!!

A FLOWERPOT!!! MWAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

Prettiful clouds!!!

More clouds!!! (I was bored :) )

A view of Lake Michigan from the Field Museum.

The sunset reflecting off a building.

A closer look at the building reflecting the sun.

My brother wearing a fake mustache!!! XD XD XD

Well, that's it!!! Hope you are having a wonderful summer so far and will have a wonderful one during the coming weeks!!!

Boring Old Chicago

Hey, I'm in Chicago right now cuz my mom has a meeting, and I'm stuck here until Sunday. So far, our car got towed cuz the people in our apartment building didn't recognize it, so now they have to pay us back. We're going to Panera Bread right now, and that's pretty much all that's happened. I hope your having a great summer so far!!!

Conjoined Twins

I found out about conjoined twins and got really interested, so here are some videos of two conjoined twins Abby and Brittany. I think it's interesting seeing what their lives are like living together all the time. Hope you find it interesting!!!
