Gross/Interesting Facts

I am seriously scared to eat chocolate now! Here's why:

Did you know that the average chocolate bar has at least 8 species of insect in it? They make nests in the piles when the chocolate is being made! So if you don't eat chocolate after this post, I'm sorry but I believe it and it will help you lose weight if you want to!

I'm Scared

"It's supposed be a little bit smaller than the one that knocked out the dinosaurs." My dad said in a positive voice. "That's good right?" I don't think he realized how much trouble we'll be in. It was so long ago that the dinosaurs were around, that people completely forgot about them. Until now.
"Dad, can we please not talk about this right now?" I asked.
"Sorry sweetheart. " he said affectionately. "But I think humans will definitely survive this!" he said in yet another confident, positive tone. I think he was overly confident. I mean, an asteroid was speeding toward Earth right now! People are making super big spaceships to carry as many humans as possible to a different planet in a different solar system before the Earth ends! And there aren't that many animals left on Earth because of humans so what will be left when it wipes out the animals? I mean, alligators and insects might survive because didn't they survive the last time this happened? To tell you the truth, I am really scared. Like REALLY scared. What if they don't have enough room on the spaceship for me and my family? What if they forget me when they take off and I'm left on Earth all alone, just waiting for my death? What if we predicted the wrong time of when the asteroid will hit and it comes earlier? With all these thoughts and questions swirling in my head, I yelled at my dad.
"STOP TALKING ABOUT IT!" I screamed at him. His face looked slightly embarrassed and extremely surprised. I was also surprised. I am not one to yell at someone else. Especially my father! And ESPECIALLY after just a year ago, when my mother died. She died in a hover craft accident. I don't really like to talk about it. Because it wasn't like I was young and didn't remember... it was last year.
My dad finally summoned up the courage to say something, "I'm sorry, honey. But we will be OK. We'll figure it out." My dad wasn't that good at soothing me. It was just making me angrier!
"But what if we aren't OK dad? What if we don't make it on the spaceship?" I ask, "What if we are here alone while the entire Earth is burning before our eyes? There's so much I haven't done yet dad!" I could feel tears in my eyes. "I'm only 12! I'm supposed to live a long, happy life! That's all I've ever wanted and now that's never going to happen." I was done with my little depressing speech. That is a lot of words for me to say at one time. I don't really talk a lot. I absorb what people say because it is all so interesting to me. I could see my dad feeling sorry for me. And what are those? Am I actually seeing tears in my father's eyes? In MY dad's eyes?! I thought I was never anything like my dad. I am quite, observent, and realistic. My dad is wild, confident, and exciting. I wish I was like him. My mom had walked into the room probably because of my yelling. That's something she doesn't hear everyday.
"Everything OK in here?"
"Oh, everything is just peachy!" I said in a fake, happy voice while wiping away my tears.
"Everything is fine." My dad said to my mom in a voice that really said "Can you go away? I want to be alone to curse at my sucky life."
My mom and I walked out of the room. I knew my mom was going to try to talk to me, so I just ran up to my room as fast as I could.


I'm scared...

Spring Break

So during spring break I am going to be mostly at my grandma's house in NH! I love her house! It always has a certain smell to it and all her furniture is exactly the same everytime I go. I am also going to see my uncles and some of my cousins! My cousins are soooooooooo cute!!!!!! And my grandma has a pond in the back of her yard and it is fun to catch frogs!

My Parents... SHUT UP you know?

Everyone is getting something they want! Lots of my friends are happy with how things are going at school. Social and academic! I'm really happy for them! And it's not like I'm not happy at school, my grades are good. But I'm just kind of bored and my grades are kind of effortless. And if any teacher sees this, I'm not saying that you need to make your courses harder! I'm just saying that I'm a genius! Ha ha I'm kidding. And two of my friends have boyfriends that they wanted and I'm just sooooooooo bored. And I play travel soccer but my parents are really strict about it. They say I'm not trying my hardest and I'm being selfish because I'm not helping out my team or whatever! My mom was making me feel really bad and I honestly do not think I am doing that terrible! I think my parents want me to be some proffesional soccer player! And the truth is that I'm not good enough for that! I mean I'm not bragging but I am good but I just DO NOT like my coach or how my parents are pushing me! I just want them to SHUT UP. It really sucks. My mom says that some of the worst players on my team are looking better than me! And then the other issue with my travel soccer performance is me playing goalie! People tell me that I am a really good goalie, and I guess I am but I do not like it as much as the field! And my parents say that I am better at goalie than I am on the field. My coach and they say that unless I am fonominal in the field, then I will be put in as 50% goalie! It sucks! They are making me feel really crappy. I really DO NOT like my parents right now. And my mom is bugging me about eating healthy because she thinks I am getting fat. I DO NOT like it when people remark on other people's weight! And especially my own weight. I am not blind. I know what's happening with me all the time, and I don't need ANYONE else to tell me! And my BEST FRIEND teases me about my weight sometimes too! And other sucky things that are happening in my life right now is my grandma was just in the hospital because she has cancer or something and she was taking this medicine for it but it made her hand really numb. And my brother, who has A.D.H.D, is having a hard time in school because his English teacher is really disorganized and keeps changing tests and quizzes! Also, he is having a REALLY bad time with his baseball coach! The baseball coach is freaking everyone out because he is REALLY intense and mean! He actually hit a kid on the cheek already! But it wasn't like with a lot of force but it was still over the line! And my cousin is mad at me because she showed me her youtube videos and my mom saw me watching them and then she told my unlce who told my cousin's mom and now my cousin is about to get grounded! I didn't know she wasn't allowed to have youtube videos! And I'm about to go see her next week during spring break and I don't want her to be mad at me! And my dad has a pinch nerve or something and he has been really cranky lately! My mom has been really cranky also because she has been pissed about my brother's school and baseball problems, and my soccer and "eating healthy problems"! I am in a really bad mood.
