Hi. So. Blog. God. I'm so brain dead, it's not even funny. It's not even 4 yet, and I'm tired. Oh well. I guess that's the downfall of falling asleep at 11 and waking up at 6:45. Sigh. Oh well.
So we got here late again today because the power steering went out in Noel's old truck, and he didn't feel safe driving us in it. We came instead in the station wagon, but we still got here before the girls did. After a while, we went to the CS classroom with the girls, and Ari and I sat in the back. Susi and and SP taught it today. They didn't really need our help, so Ari and I were on the computers. Ari worked on Scratch with the girls, while I worked on my story. I don't want to call it a book because I'm not sure it will become one. A little more than an hour before lunch, we started getting the room ready as well as the drinks. I didn't do much of that, though. I was too busy getting the rosters for the workshops put on the poster boards. Still. I enjoyed it. I seem to like menial tasks when I'm super tired. Anywho. We ate lunch outside today, and a yellow spider climbed up my hand and arm. I managed to not make a sound as I swept it off before stepping on it. I was terrified. I hate bugs of any kind.
After lunch, we all gathered outside and played large-scale rock paper scissors. The girls had to line up in two lines, facing each other, and pantomime their choices. If they lost the round, they had to run away to the "safe zone" before the next round could stop. When that was done, we went inside and helped just a little with the HTML workshop. I honestly worked on my story during that time, when I wasn't organizing the cards for the CS game they do at the beginning. After HTML was the NXT LEGO robotics workshop. I helped more with that. I love LEGOs. I was so tired, though, and I had to run around and get stuff. I almost took a nap, but stopped myself. When that workshop was done, I went with Noor and SP to help set up computers in the other room for blogging. Now I'm here.

I figure I might as well do the blog prompt from Sunday, so here it goes.

So. Here are my answers:

1. I love teal.
2. I grew up on Alternative Rock and it is always associated with happy memories of my childhood, but I also really love pop. It's a tough choice.
3. Rizzoli & Isles is my favorite tv show; Tangled my favorite movie.
4. This is hard. I love Tamales and Manicotti, so it's really difficult to decided. 
5. Mario's Restaurant in Albuquerque. They have the best Italian food I have ever had. 
6. I'm a one of a kind (Dr. Pepper)
7. My favorite website would have to be pinterest. I am borderline addicted.
8. My absolute favorite book in The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. I have loved it since I was in 4th grade. My second favorite book is definitely Ice by Sarah Beth Durst. I love most retellings of East of the Sun, West of the Moon, but this one is my favorite. 
9. My favorite.......something.....hmmmm.....I don't know what I can add. This pretty much covers it. Oh! I know. My favorite song currently is Chandelier by Sia, and I love the music video. You should watch it. Click here to see it. It's awesome. 
10. So since I was in like the second grade, I have loved white tigers. They are my favorite animal. They are so beautiful, but it's sad how they come to be.

I found this and laughed. Then I felt sad.

I guess I might as well do the prompt for today. I have to write five good things about myself. I'm not sure I can do that many. Here goes. 

Hmm. One. I guess the number one thing about me is that I'm intelligent. I consider this different from being smart, because I just know stuff and catch on quickly. 

2. I am a very loyal person to the people I care about. I will always be there for you, no matter what. I'm one to try and drop everything for someone. 

3. Hmmm. I'm already stuck. I guess three can be how giving I can be. I will give and do stuff for my friends and family, and pretty much anyone I care about. I have been known to give people food when they have none, even if I am starving myself. I am always willing to give up my jacket for someone else, and I loan money to people. The benefits of these are that I basically am owed tons of favors. I can pretty much ask for anything and people do it for me, since I rarely ask for anything. 

4. I am fiercely protective of my loved ones. I fight for them, and get irritated easily if I think they are being unfairly treated or if someone has wronged them. 

5. I am deeply analytical. This is a good thing about me because it makes my English classes so much easier. It also means that I can be self aware without bias. I know my flaws, and try to work at them daily. I can also analyze others fairly well. It will help if I want to get a degree in sociology or psychology.

Well, I guess that's it. So long for now!! Can't wait for Hunger Games!
