My incredible friends and their awesome quirks

Ok, I have incredible friends. I walked into school this morning and saw Rachel. She immediately jumped up, hugged me, and gave me a cookie. No joke. She really did. I love this kid.  Then I saw Spencer. He walked up to me with a giant smile and greeted me in that happy tone of his. Then we all went to study hall and saw Emma with her cute little bow in her hair. Then in comes Mark and Tisha with their monsters and whatever other energy drinks and of course Tisha offered to share. It was rejected by most people...I love my friends so, so much.

In computer class, Stephen and I have been working on a project that he entitled "Picnic while they eat". It is about a pool in his backyard where there is strawberry strudel for you to eat before you throw yourself into this pool, which is full of sharks, and let them eat you for the low price of 50,000 dollars..... The idea was his...clever..? We finished this project today and all of the boys loved it. The girls, on the other hand, found it far too gruesome. I can't say that I disagreed with them. It was quite disturbing.

At lunch, I was once again greeted by Spencer's big, happy smile. It totally made my day, because the previous three hours had been pretty lame. His giant smile was the perfect thing for a day like today. I don't think he will ever know exactly how much his smiled helped me today. While we were eating, Mrs. Atherton showed us a video for Operation Christmas Child. It talked about all of the kids in different countries who get nothing on Christmas, or any other day. It really opened up my eyes to see that I'm really, really lucky to have what I have, when there are people all over this world who genuinely have nothing. It totally motivated me to get out there and help all of those people.

After school, Steph, Rachel, Josh, and I went to the coffee shop. It was snowing and it was freezing, so the coffee shop was extra cozy. We sat at a table in the back of the shop and talked (probably a little too loudly). Being the awesome girls we are, Steph, Rachel and I did everything we could to annoy Josh without annoying him. (Yes, this is, in fact, possible to do!) Rachel and Josh sucked sugar through a straw, right out of the package. Steph and I stared at them blankly, with slightly twitching eyes. What else can you do when you are watching two people suck sugar through a straw? They looked a bit high afterward. Hmm.... Then this guy that we had never seen before, ever, randomly started talking to us. He was so funny. He told us about his 700 contacts in his phone and how he has a special name for every single one of them. This guy was legit. So cool. After a bit, my dad came to pick me up in his car that smells like cough syrup..yum..=P

 I got home and drew Pawl. My friend, Trenton (AKA: Mr. Fairy man), said that he would keep it by him all night long. I cannot imagine that it would be comfortable to sleep with a piece of paper all night. You may wake up with paper cuts all over. This would not be happy. It would also make Pawl sad, which means I would have to draw a sad Pawl. Drawing sad Pawls is not a happy thing. So, let us do everyone a favor and not sleep with pieces of paper with drawings of Pawl on them.
