August

In middle school, I invited more people. Some I didn't even talk to very much. We only talked about once or twice or three times. Last year, in 9th grade, I didn't know very many people so I didn't invite very many people. This year, I had no idea how well I should know a person before inviting her. My birthday is only about a month after school starts, so I don't have much time to get to know people.

My 16th birthday is coming in september, and I of course want a special party. My 13th one was good, but I had a lot of people there. Me and my mom are a little skeptical because the turn-out for the last two were not great. We were thinking of just doing a 3 day trip nearby instead, but there's nothing nearby that I REALLY want to go to.

The last two times I've had a party, not many guests show up or they cancel at the last minute. Because of that, I put in more work and money than needed. I've thought of inviting more people, but I never know how well I need to know a person to invite them. My sixteenth birthday is coming up in september, and I don't want to put in months of planning and money for only 3 people.

I'm also wondering if having a party somewhere else than home, if they will come.

I want to make nail art tutorial videos and I found the perfect spot to do them. But the thing is, the lighting in my house sucks. Here's a picture that I took with the same camera (it will be more still when I film so it won't be as blurry):

Please don't say buy a new camera because I cannot afford a fancy, new one.

When my clear polishes get towards the bottom, they get thick and leave strings everywhere. They also don't spread out well and get thin and clumpy at the tip of my nail, so I have to add more coats. That causes the polish to chip off faster. I want to thin it out even though it's close to the bottom so that I can use as much as I can.

I can't do my own hair, so my parents have to do it for me. I'm 15, so no, I'm not a little kid. Some people just can't do their own hair. Anyway, my mom was suggesting my hair down with a headband, but every other school pic is like that. Normally it's in a ponytail. My hair is long and very straight. Also, I'm at my dad's house tonight and tomorrow morning, so it has to be something that he can do, or something that my mom can do before I leave and I can sleep in and have it still look good tomorrow.

I finally found someone who's free on halloween, but we don't know what we could do. She asked for any ideas of what we could do. The only thing I can think of is of course, trick or treating. I know some teens still do that, but I want to suggest some other things too. We're both sophomores, but I just turned 15 and she's 16.

I've been growing out my nails since April, and now they're about twice as long as my nail bed, which are kinda short, compared to other nail beds. But anyway, I broke one, which means that I will have to cut them all. I like to do nail art, so I want to at least grow my nails out long enough to paint designs on them.

I'm 15 and only size 10-12 in kids clothes. Of course, they are too childish. I've also looked at the juniors to see if the smallest size can fit, but I don't want to dress like everyone else and I can never find anything my style. There are more adult shirts that I like than teens. Sometimes I can find something in the kids clothes that are not too childish, but not all the time. I also make my own clothes, but it takes a while. Also, there is an Asian-owned store at the mall that does have cute clothes, but they're still one size too big.

I'm afraid of ghosts. My dad's house was built in the 30's, I think. So, basically, it's pretty old. I know that it's not haunted, but I still get scared at night. Also, what doesn't help is that in the 70's a little girl was ran over by a car on the corner the house is on, in the street.

So far I have Bell, Bustle, and Tubular. What's the 4th?

I want to have a mad hatter tea party for my birthday. The date is September 24th. That same day my school is having their festival from 1-5. I think it would be good to have it at six because 1.) it will give people enough time to get to my house from the fest and 2.) in the alice in wonderland story, tea time was six o' clock. But I don't know if it's too late or not. I will be turning 15, so we'll all be around that age.

At my school we start at 9:15 and we have lunch at 2:15. I bring my own lunch since school food is really gross. But since it's a long time between packing my lunch and eating it, my sandwich bread either dries out or gets wet and soggy.

When people ask me 'what so you want for your birthday', I don't know what to say. They usually get me jewelry and nail polish, but now I have so much. A bracelet or two and maybe one bottle is okay. How do I tell people that without sounding rude?

My faves were Barbie Beauty Boutique, Barbie Fashion Show, Barbie as Rapunzel, and MyScene Goes Hollywood. Have you ever played them again? I'm thinking about it, and I'm almost 15.

Of course, I tend to zone out during class. Since school starts for me in two weeks, I want it to start right. I can stay focused if I'm doing or looking at something and not just sitting there listening to the teacher speak. When I'm looking at something, it has to be related to what the teacher is talking about. And when I'm doing something, it can't be something like mindlessly tapping my pen. Since there won't always be something to look at, how could I use the other way to stay focused?

I've looked it up, but it was from years ago. I'm just curious. Chris Colfer is 21 and Mark Salling and Cory Montieth are 29, I know. But what about the others?

I am white, but I had a dream last night that I turned Hawaiian. It just happened in the middle of the dream. I was also at school.

Very soon I have to help watch my mom's boyfriend's 8 year old granddaughter. We were going to go to a raptor center, but it's raining. She doesn't have a very wide attention span, so we can't really play any games or anything like that. And she's coming to my house and I'm an only child, so there are not that many toys.

I've played Secret of the Old Clock, Danger by Design, and Ransom of the Seven Ships. All three creeped me out a little bit, but didn't scare me. I get creeped out really easily, even when watching Scooby-Doo sometimes. What are the scariest parts in the game? Do you think I will get scared playing it?
