If you celebrate Christmas, allow me to wish you a Merry Christmas! If not, ignore what I said.
So, today is Christmas Eve. What am I doing during it? I'm sitting on the computer while my parents visit my older sister in the hospital. Even before my sister was in the hospital, my family has been calling me Scrooge. The reason?
Christmas songs have started to annoy me. I hear them nonstop. Especially "All I Want for Christmas is You"! I have officially started hating that song because it won't stop playing! Is it my fault that I get annoyed easily?
Well, I know this is a short post, but I really don't want to be posting when my parents get home(or my sisters get downstairs. :P) so I'll log off. Before I go, though, you can post whatever you want in the box(like your opinion on this post. :P)
So, MERRY CHRISTMAS(if you celebrate it. If not, ignore that)

Arguments
So, I'm pretty sure I did a post on fighting with friends, but this one is strictly for siblings. This is because of a fight I just had with my younger sister. I'm not saying names or which sister. I am above that. But the fact is, I like to forget about a fight after it happens. My mom believes there should be a "talk" about it. Used to, it would end with us holding hands for a couple minutes(I hated that. My sister's hands always got sweaty, no matter which one). I believe that, in the event of the fight, someone should let those fighting fix it themselves. If htye stay mad, so what. I'm still mad at one of my sisters for refusing to let me on the play station 2 when she wasn't even going to touch it. Talking didn't fix it. It probably won't fix this.
I don't want to express the details of the fight, but it did end up with me hurt(not saying how or what type) and I probably won't forgive her for a while. Even though my mom wants to have a "talk" about it, I don't. I won't be happy and I'll end up crying. It's how my body works. I don't know why. But the problem is: I can't stop my mom from making me explain everything.
What if my sister and I figured "Oh, we can be mad all we want because mom will help patch things up." What about when we grow up and get jobs? If we fight then, our mom won't be there to help. To make it worse, we won't have any experience to help us do it ourselves. I wish people would consider that.
Anyway, please post your view: solve problems for children or let them solve it themselves when they're teenagers/preteens? Optional as always.
Oh, and please note that I probably won't be able to post every night(as you've probably figured). I'll try my best for at least once a week, though. More if possible!

Views on Society
I am so sorry that I did not post for an entire week. I meant to, really, but my stepdad was on Call of Duty and I'm not allowed to cause lag. Let's talk about this topic since I don't want you to think I'm just making up excuses.
I was supposed to write a paper on my views on a certain topic. I had a list of topics to choose from, and I was originally going to write about society. I found my views were not enough for a page and a half, so I switched to aging. Yet I want to write my views on society anyway because of the book we are writing it for, Tuesdays with Morrie.
In my eyes, society is very messed up. I think that it could be better. The government wants to "protect" kids from what is happening out in the world. No, they want to do it overall. So, they allow kids to cuss and yell at their parents, but the most that the adults can do is ground them, take away their cell phone, or remove Call of Duty for a month or two. Why? Because spanking a child is now child abuse. I'm only fourteen, yes. However, I think that spanking should be allowed. Don't think I'm for child abuse, but I know that if I was at risk of a spanking every time I lied or did something bad, I would never do it. Why? Because just the thought of the pain would scare me.
When my mother grew up, she would have liquid soap put into her mouth when she cussed because there wans't bar soap at her house. It was the worst thing ever, I imagine.
My math teacher actually told me that she got slapped the first time she cussed. But she never did it again.
So, why is it that they want to protect children when the child won't learn from the protection? They'll just do bad things again. Yet it's the government's choice. I think it should be the parent's choice, but whatever. It's not my place to speak. I'm just a fourteen-year-old freshman waiting to turn fifteen in January.
For this post's goal, why not give your view on society? I could have gone on for a while longer, but I don't want to annoy you. And remember, it's always optional!

Apologies
So, I know I haven't been on and posting for a while. I'm really sorry. I would've posted yesterday if I didn't have company over. However, I did. So, yeah, sorry. I was also going to post on Halloween, but I never got the chance since I had company over then to. I know it sounds like excuses, but it isn't a bunch of them. It's the truth. And I really have been meaning to post again, but the marking period was nearing its end. It ended Wednesday and I had two tests that day.
So, how about I tell you this: I'm posting a post that says it was supposed to be posted on Halloween so that you can see what I wanted to post about that day. Nothing serious. But, yeah, that's that.
So, this post is about apologizing. Why? I think that, if someone apologizes you should believe them and accept it so long as they explain what happened and try their hardest not to let it happen again. That's what I'm going to be doing. But it's going to be hard.
For some reason, people apologize and don't mean it. Other times, they do mean it and the person that they apologize to is too angry to forgive them. I know what it's like. I was so angry at one girl for insulting my friend Alice* and refused to forgive her. She cyberbullied and made fun of Alice's* singing, saying she had no talent. She even had the nerve to do a prank call, though it was horribly done. Well, when she apologized to my Alice,* she accepted it. And even to this day the girl acts like nothing happened, though Alice* and I still hate her. I mean, I personally disagree with Alice's* forgiving her, but it's not my place to put in my opinion. I think the reason I hate her so much is because even though she apologized for insulting Alice's* singing and cyberbullying her, she never apologized to me after posting "Can you say fail?" and "Fail!" on my YouTube cover. I mean, her younger sister even told me that she(the sister) had removed the comment because of how mean it was. I blocked the account, but the girl never apologized for it.
That's why I think that if she had apologized I would have forgiven her, so long as it didn't happen again. But for some reason, she didn't. And she posted rudely twice when I decided to give her a second chance and not block her YouTube account. Needless to say, I removed the comment and blocked her account(I wouldn't have mind the comment so much if it wasn't from someone who claimed it being "constructive critisism" and doing it twice while denying that they did it. I mean, I was okay with it until I learned it was from someone I knew.)
So, that's my view on apologies. I'm not sure if you agree, but please be sure to tell me your opinion and maybe tell me of a time that you apologized and were/weren't forgiven, or that someone apologized to you and you did/didn't forgive them. It's optional, as always.

Halloween
Hey. So, I probably can't fool any of you, right? Well, I'll just tell you. This is technically being posted on November 11, 2011. I'm just saying it was scheduled for Halloween. :P
Anyway, I wanted a short post that's a break from goals and all that. It's supposed to be about Halloween costumes! ^.^ So, basically I want to know what your Halloween costumes was! If you have a picture and want me to upload it, I'll put it in a page with any other costumes I get. I would post mine, but I don't think I have a picture on the computer. :P
I was a Broken Doll. I applied baby powder to my face and painted cracks with acrylic paint. I tied my hair up in a messy fashion with ribbons and wore a white T-shirt I had painted. I also wore red leggings, jean shorts, and a pair of simple tennis shoes. I had so much fun painting my face. Since I wasn't going to wear my glasses, I painted a crack over my right eye since it crosses without them. I figured the crossing would add to the look. ^.^
I love Halloween and still have some candy in my house(tootsie rolls, crunch bars, etc.) My stepdad even bought me two bags of candy corn. It had original, pumpkin-shaped, and chocolate flavored! ^.^
Well, I love Halloween, even though I don't trick-or-treat. I believe in stopping at the age of 13, and would have stopped last year if I wasn't in a strange new state with two younger sisters that wanted to go. Besides, no way was my mom going to get me a Halloween costume if I just wore it to school.
So, what were you for Halloween? It's optional as always! ^.^

Lies
Have you ever told a lie? I have. I've told many. And I'm pretty sure you have to, whether you admit it or not.
Anyway, I have the belief that humans are natural born liars and really good at it, rather they know it or not. Without realizing it, a person may tell a lie to a best friend or a family member. They may so, "Well, I don't know what happened to it," when they are, in fact, the one that lost it: They just don't remember. I feel that their brian knows that they dislike getting lectured, and it secretely pieces together the fact that they lost it with the fact that they hate getting in trouble. So, it hides the information from them so that they can't remember.
That's what I think happened with my leggings that I lost. One of my sisters is lying, whether they know it or not. One of them are responsible for the loss of them.
Anyway, my I'm afraid I don't have much time. I've got to read, put my bird to bed, print out my current even(due next Friday for my biology teacher, but I don't want to leave it on the printer again), and prepare for tomorrow. And all before ten o'clock(and it's 8:24 already...)
So, for today's goal, please say a lie you told. I'd prefer that it's not one that you can still get in trouble for(I'm sure I have some of those that I forgot about) but rather one you got found out about. And you can explain how it felt to lie and(maybe) get caught on it.

Procastination
So, I have to study for two tests tomorrow. One is a geometry test(and I have to remember the difference between Converse and Inverse) and the other is biology(food webs...)
So, I'm putting it off until 9:00. Until them, I'm gonna play Sims 3. :P
That, my readers, is a prime example of prorastination. I'm worried that I'll end up falling asleep during the time that I spend reading my science textbook. Another example is as follows:
It was time for us to create an Italian project for our end of course project. All we had to do was create a powerpoint or poster on a famous Italian. Mine was a writer, I think. But anyway, the truth of the matter is that I waited until the last weekend to make it. So, it turned out sloppy, I didn't follow all of the directions(as much as I hate to admit it). So, I suffered. I wasn't the only one, but I did a horrible job overall. And I hate when I do less than I can on a project.
So, there's another example. And during that time, I suffered.
Are you a procrastinator? Well, why don't you tell me of a time when you procrastinated and suffered the consequences? Maybe someone will learn the horrors of procrastinating after reading all the other stories(if anyone posts)
