is determined to strangle the life out of me day by day.

I've been taking State Testing today and yesterday, so I apologize if I haven't been on much.

Life is ganging up on me to squish me......

In Girl Scouts, I'm getting ready for this big, 3-day nautical competition called GAM, which tests nautical knowledge, knots, international code flags, semaphore, morse code, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and rowboating, sailing, and general Girl Scout knowledge, etc. etc. Our troop doesn't take it too seriously, but I'm hardwired with a "I GOTTA WIN" instinct. I learned all 40 of my flags, but most of the other girls don't know theirs. A lot of the other girls are pretty lazy about it too.

This is what they do during the meeting:
*text text*
(looks over at me and Rae)"WOAH how do you guys know all this stuff?"
*goes back to texting*

Another girl, Bryanna is too discouraged to try to learn anything. She thinks everything is too hard and extreme for her. She's like "This stuff is for really dedicated people."

Another girl hasn't shown up at all.

Did I mention that the competition is in a week?

I'm signed up for most of the swimming events and Morse Code for Message to Garcia. All the girls have to take the main Class A test, the flag test, School of the Crew(marching) and the knot test. Bryanna and the texting girls did learn like, one knot out of the fifteen we have to know for the competition. I learned all my knots and flags, but I'm afraid it won't help the troop much.

The other thing I'm freshly ticked off about is other people's attitude towards homeschoolers.(again.)

Jared(my "friend."): "Amaranthine, do you have any friends besides me at all?(!!!!!!!!!!) I mean you're homeschooled."

My own youth group leader(sniff. Not her too!): "They're homeschooled homeschooled, though, so the socialization is like nada." (She wasn't saying this about me, though.)

Justin, yesterday at CSTs. When I told him how long I've been homeschooled, he looked me straight in the eye and said: "You must be completely socially inept."(!!!!!!!!!)

    Haha. I just wrote a huge research paper about home schooling and socialization and here's a quick summary: the whole thing is total bull crap. Home schooled kids can be just as socialized, or more so, than public school kids.

    Even though I'm public schooled, I have enough homeschooled friends to know that not all homeschoolers are anti-social ;) I know lots people in public school that are more anti-social than my homeschooled friends XD

    It drives me crazy when people think that all homeschoolers are anti-social. Kids in public schools can be anti-social, just like homeschoolers can be "social butterflies". It all depends on the individual.

    OOH! Plo Kool Daala, Boba, and Mara pics!!

    I don't think that (Public schooler) in fact the home-schoolers I now in real life are more social than me XD
    Good luck with the GS thing!

three amazing--and relatively little known--psalms

So I'm reading Psalms in the Bible right now. Well, Psalms is one of the three places I read from. I'm reading the Bible all the way through and read two chapters from three places--the Old Testament, the middle of the Old Testament, and the New Testament--every day. I'm in Deuteronomy and Romans in the other sections, but in the middle I'm still right where I started from-Psalms. Cause Psalms is really really long. I was getting kind of tired of Psalms(which isn't really the right attitude to be reading the Bible in). But I realized there are some really breathtaking passages in Psalms, and I'm glad I read them. These are my three favorites: *Buck Forester on Flikr Psalm 65 This one is about God's spectacular creation. What mighty praise, O God,      belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you, 2       for you answer our prayers.      All of us must come to you. 3  Though we are overwhelmed by our sins,      you forgive them a

Howl's Moving Castle book analysis

“I feel ill. I'm going to bed, where I may die.” ― Howl, upon having a cold. I've decided to call them "book analysis" because they're not really reviews that tell you how much I liked the book, rather,  me taking the book apart and looking at different aspects of it for my own entertainment. Read on. Also, read Howl's Moving Castle. This is the original cover of Howl's Moving Castle and I have got to say it is the UGLIEST thing I have ever seen. I like the new one much better. Ahem. First of all, I should point out that Howl's Moving Castle is a children's book. However, I like to hold all books I read to the same standard, after all, they're written by adults. I had biased expectations of Howl's Moving Castle from the start, because I kept hearing from several sources how amazing, how fantastic, how hilarious and how romantic the book was, and hearing the perfectly gorgeous soundtrack by Joe Hizazi(somethin

Ciel Phantomhive vs. Artemis Fowl

  Don't laugh. XD The similarities between the two characters are so distinct and obvious that comparison is inevitable for anyone who's read/watched both series. I seriously thought when I first noticed Black Butler(more popularly referred to as Kuroshitsuji) that it was literally an anime adaption of Artemis Fowl.  Other people have read Artemis Fowl and thought "CIEL HAS A CLONE??!?" So I thought I'd outline some of the differences and analyze who would win. XD Similarities: Appearance:  This is the first similarity, and one of the most major, because if they didn't look so darn alike I don't think the comparison would have been as striking. The above picture of Artemis is a fanart, because there aren't really any good pictures of Artemis, and the manga style makes it more obvious. They are both from the British Isles and have black hair and blue eyes. Both of them lose/change/switch an eye resulting in two different colors.
