I was born in the 90's.

Look how glamourous this picture of my aunt is! Seriously, that's some Hollywood glam going on here.

She's so pretty. I just thought I would share that with you.

Guess what. I watch The Bachelor. Yeah, I do. My parents even watch it! It is so entertaining. I would just have to say, that girl from Utah, is crazy. She needs to get off the show. But I guess you need to have a little craziness on the show to make it interesting. When she get's that irritated look on her face, it makes me want to run from the room. I wonder if she practices witchcraft. Okay, that was mean. But I seriously wonder about her.  I would also like to say that they need to do a little research into the ladies fears, because they keep on picking dates that they are all scared of! But whatever.

I know that I say this every year, but I just have to say this.

I cannot wait for spring.

Too bad we won't have this fabulous cherry tree in our yard anymore. I miss it. BUT. We do have a plum tree and a peach tree. So it's all good.

Well, all these catty women are frustrating me. Just leave him alone! Sheesh.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night!

That is all.

(I found this recently and fell in love with it. Although you don't know if she loves him half the time. But the last scene makes up for it completely.)

Dear Future Husband,

I hope you like goldfish crackers, because I practically live off them. I also hope you like historical romance movies, because they're my favorite thing to watch.

I've come to the conclusion that I do not like small pictures. I never have. With a small picture, you can't see all the details and beauty! But with a big picture, it brings out the beauty and awesomeness! Oh, just look for yourself.

Ah. Much better.

Anyway. Apparently my Zodiac sign changed. I went from being an Aries who's qualities are: initiative, courage and determination. And now I'm a Pisces who's qualities are: compassionate and charitable nature. I feel like my whole life has been a lie. I don't know who I am!

Haha. Just kidding. I've never paid attention to that kind of stuff.

I'm having a good 2011 so far! I knew this year was going to be good. It better stay that way! All in one year I am going to turn 16, get my drivers license, and I'm going to keep my room clean! This is going to be one momentous year.

I never knew I liked basketball. I always just brushed it off because I've never been good at it. I remember going to my brother's basketball games, but that's basically it. Well, I guess I've gone to church ball. That's pretty fun. I went to a school basketball game yesterday. I was probably the loudest screamer there! I was screaming at the ref, screaming at the players, and screaming just for the fun of it! Surprisingly my voice isn't hoarse. I got so worked up that after the game my legs were all shaky from all the jumping up and down I was doing. My friend Naomi and I are now basketball game buddies. Our yells and screams combined could probably drown out the whole crowd. Long story short, I'm going to keep on going to basketball games. I'm going to be my school's number one fan.

Veronica had the funniest reaction to eating sourdough bread for the first time. It was hilarious! Let's just say that she thinks it's nasty and she never wants to eat it again. My mom said that it's probably an acquired taste, and from that came a confusing conversation:

Megan: That means that you sometimes like it over time.

Veronica: Medium.

Megan: What?

Veronica: Medium!

Megan: I said that it takes awhile to like it.

Veronica: I know, I want it medium.

Megan: What are you talking about?

Veronica: I want my bread to be toasted medium.

Megan: ... wha-... never mind.

Sometimes I think she just tunes me out.

No comment.

 I am happy to say that my dancing has improved a TON since this picture was taken. I am very proud of myself. In fact, I have mastered pirouettes on the left side. TAKE THAT LEFT SIDE PIROUETTE DOUBTS! I'm on my way to becoming a pro! Ha, like I will ever get to that level. Nope.

Nutcracker's fun. You should try it sometime!

Veronica cringes every time I crack my knuckles. I am happy to report that cracking your knuckles does not cause arthritis, so crack away my knuckle cracking friends! Let out that synovial fluid and gas!

Haha, that made me laugh.

I'm a dancing queen.

I enrolled in Social Dance at school this year. I'm not used to dancing with someone else, it's strange. BUT, it's way fun. Everyone still doesn't know everybody really well, so that's a downer. Nobody is really getting into it quite yet. We're doing the Cha Cha and it's kind of awkward to shake your hips while dancing with someone you barely know.

We had to introduce ourselves to each other. This is how it went most of the time:

HimynameisJoseandIgotapairofshoesforChristmas (pauses for breath) myfavoritemovieisInceptionandmyfavoritesportissoccer. (Breathes in deeply) What's your name?

It was very interesting and there are some pretty eccentric people in there.

I should get one of my dancing partners to be Fred Astaire for Halloween. I'll be Ginger Rogers.

But... good luck finding a guy who knows who both of those people are.

I am so glad it is 2011. It is so much easier to write.

I don't really have anything to post about. Actually, that is the case most of the time I blog. So I just try and make really boring stuff sound really interesting. I'm not sure if it works, but I'm going to keep trying.

So here's some boring stuff.

Things I obsessed about in 2010.

(And still might be obsessed about. Hey, 2010 was only two days ago.)

Dun, dun, dun...

AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER

I am pretty much (still) obsessed with that picture of Aang Earthbending. Heck, I've been obsessed with Avatar for a long time. In fact, I got all three seasons on DVD for Christmas. Veronica is very jealous of all the bonus features I get to see. I've said it once, and I'll say it again, AVATAR IS AWESOME.

This is still associated with Avatar. Suki is so cool, and this picture is cool. I am considering being her for Halloween. The face paint is awesome.

SCOTTIE BLACK LICORICE

Too bad they don't sell these in Hurricane anymore. It's practically the only type of black licorice that I like. So. Good. My mom got a whole tin box of them. She better lock those up because I've already been snitching some.

SHOES

I've been obsessed with shoes for a very long time. I don't think I could wear heels THAT high, but I do like heels.  Shoes, shoes, shoes. I love 'em.

SCARVES

Who DOESN'T like scarves? By the way, I really like that red one.

MY TEETH

I've been obsessed with my teeth for a very long time. I don't have very many self esteem problems (probably because back in my awkward stage I swore to myself that I would never have self esteem problems. I'm stuck with this body, so I might as well appreciate it.), but my teeth have always annoyed me. Oh, just see for yourself.

Megan. 11 years old. Bad teeth. I never smiled with my mouth open (this was an exception). I absolutely did not want metal braces (due to my brother having them on for FIVE YEARS.) so when my dentist suggested Invisalign, I readily agreed. I only had Invisalign for a year and a half, and nobody even noticed them. Although they were a pain, I like the results.

Too bad I'm STILL insecure about them. Smart little me forgot to wear my retainer, and now it doesn't really fit. I still complain that from the side, my teeth look crooked (they do!). It's probably because of my large front teeth and how they stick out practically a millimeter (that's a lot in teeth terms) from my other teeth. So, at this moment, my teeth are really my only insecurity.

THIS PICTURE

I can never seem to get a good picture of this. It used to be at Disneyland. It is the most awesome picture of Mulan I have ever seen. I want a huge copy of this hung up in my room.

THESE OTHER PICTURES

Swan Lake. I have always wanted to wear that costume. I convinced my dance teacher to let us learn dances from different ballets (Coppelia, Romeo & Juliet, Swan Lake). It is going to be AWESOME.

Marvelous picture. I actually have a flamenco skirt. It's black and fantastically twirly.

THIS BOUQUET 

 How creative is that? Very. It's made out of brooches. Timeless, cool, and nifty. I am considering doing that same thing for my wedding bouquet.

PONYTAILS

Now that my hair is finally long enough to look good in a ponytail, I wear them all the time. Let's just say that I never wore a different hairstyle all through 3-5th grade, and sort of all through 6-8th grade. Then I cut my hair really short and that was the end of my ponytail days. I love ponytails.

PSYCH

I think this is my favorite show. Ever. The picture explains it all.

I just have to say that I am still obsessed with all these things. Oh yeah, I forgot to put french toast on the list. Wow, I am all of the sudden craving a mayonnaise and cheese sandwich. It is so much better than it sounds. And I just realized that I always get cravings for food when I'm blogging. Do you think that's psychological? Maybe.

Anyway, have a happy Sunday while I go eat my sandwich.

I'm an LA Girl, yo.

I just spent 4 days in California. It was fun, apart from the 7 hour drive and the Little Einstein's movie playing over and over again. But that's okay, it was cute hearing Hattie sing the theme song. Anyway,

LOS ANGELES.

My dad took this from on top of Griffith Observatory. I love that place! Too bad it's closed on Monday, which happened to be the day we went there. The outside of the observatory is still awesome though.

I think this is a statue of famous scientists. Isaac Newton, Galileo... I don't remember the other ones.

Then we went to the Los Angeles Zoo! It was so gorgeous and awesome! We all had a blast.

We went to the Exposition Center to go look at all the Science stuff. I wish it would have had more hands on stuff, but it was way awesome.

Hattie in the Hurricane Stimulator.

They had a way awesome aquarium in the ecosystem section. Veronica and I were like little kids, running around looking at all the fish. It was so cool! But, the aquarium in Albuquerque is way cooler.

This was in the River section. You would blow air on it to see currents on the "river". It was so pretty.

Outside the Exposition Center. I don't know what Veronica's looking at, but it must be cool.

Then we went to the Celebrity Walk of Fame. I have never been so scared of being robbed, kidnapped, or mugged in my life. But after I locked arms with Veronica and my dad, I felt alright. It was way cool to be able to see all those things. Especially....... FRED ASTAIRE'S HANDPRINTS, FOOTPRINTS, AND SIGNATURE!

He is my idol.

Isn't that great?! Clever.

Then we got roped into taking a picture with Elmo. It was kind of weird, I don't know what is with the necklaces. I would have rather had a picture with Darth Vader or Zorro.

Then we went to a HUGE mall right on the Celebrity Walk. HUGE.

Luggage Salesman: Have you thought much about luggage, Mr. Banks? 

Joe Banks: No. 

Luggage Salesman: It's the central preoccupation of my life. 

We saw this in some expensive bag store. We were all instantly drawn to it, quoting Joe Versus the Volcano.

I am going to be so sad when Jackie Chan dies. May he live in awesomeness.

Anyway.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

You better have a good one! Or else.  HA! Just kidding. Have a happy New Year!
