Trapped

2003-06-20T10:16:00.000-07:00

Florida Alligator

2003-06-20T10:07:00.000-07:00

I can't believe a 12 year old boy was killed by an alligator in Florida. I'm 11 and I know better than to swim in a river at night when the alligators are hungry! It's just weird.~Amanda

Bill O'Reilly

2003-06-17T16:07:00.000-07:00

And here's what Instapundit has to say about Bill O'Reilly.

So Bill O'Reilly does not like the internet. And if it happens to be because people say stuff that isn't true about him. I WOULD BE WHINNING JUST LIKE HIM! Wouldn't you?~Maddy

Countdown

Internet Safety

2003-06-17T15:46:00.000-07:00

As you know, there are a lot of wackos in the world. And some of these wackos get to little munchkins (as my teacher would say) though the internet. Why? Because they can say they are kids and start getting to know this child and possible send false pictures of them selves. Therefore, the “Don’t talk to strangers” rule does not apply. Then next thing you go the wacko asking the kid to meet them and pow. What I don’t understand about this topic is common sense. I mean this topic is basically ignored in today’s world. So kids aren’t aware of this topic…~Maddy

Fancy Blogs VS. Blogger Blog

2003-06-16T17:25:00.000-07:00

Calblog and alot of other people do not use blogger anymore, however I do. The are many pros to Calblog's new site. For example, with this new site, you can have a SEARCH option so you can find something easily. However, if you press CTRL and F at the same time you can do the same thing. Another con, is the cost. Unlike Blogspot, Fancy Blogs aren't very cheap. For me, since I just do this for fun, it isn't worth it since I'm a kid. But for other people, it may be worth it...~Maddy

Good News!

2003-06-16T17:10:00.000-07:00

My cruise tickets arrived today. I'm going to Alaksa on August 8! In my room is not only me, but Amanda (my twin, and my cousin Lizzie,who's my age.~Maddy

Go Athens

2003-06-16T17:08:00.000-07:00

As I may of metioned on this blog before, in class we do a Greek simulation thing. I am in Athens. Today was the big day...The day we found out who won the simulation. Guess who won? ATHENS! I was so happy. We did fates and Sparta (our enemy) lost -40 point per citizen and Athens got +40, I just wanted to sing. ~Maddy

For my Bill O'Reilly Fans...

2003-06-15T20:48:00.000-07:00

I have been meaning to write about this. Anyway, Bill O Reilly talked about the Matrix Cons. And he's right. I mean guys flying around? How is that possible? And what is is with the sunglasses at night?

Take a look...

2003-06-15T20:39:00.000-07:00

Finding Nemo is doing better than not only The Matrix Reloaded, but X2: X-MEN UNITED, DUMB AND DUMBERER: WHEN HARRY MET LLOYD, Bruce Almightly (Which was a great movie), and RUGRATS GO WILD. And much more. Take a peek. (But remember to come back here and read the rest of this blog because you don't wanna miss the rest of my thoughts!)~Maddy

Father's Day

2003-06-15T20:30:00.000-07:00

As, most of you know, its Father's Day. So I would just like to write a special poem to my dearest daddy. Its an alapabet poem:

A dad that cares
Bold--Very Bold
Cares enough to take me places without sister and mom
Does whats best for me
Eager
Fun to be with
Going to TN and Kern River were so much fun
Hates when I fight
I love him
Junk Food isn't his favorite
Kayaking was fun
Listens to me
Madel--me
Not evil--that would be me
Outgoing with his job
Proud to be his daughter
Quite nice
Rats don't bug him as much as it bugs mom
So fun
The Madel and Dadel show
U r the best
Very serious
When I cry, he cares
X-citing to be around
You will love him
Zany would describe me more than him

I love you, dad.

~Maddy *Or should I say Madel*

Summer Plans

2003-06-15T20:15:00.000-07:00

School ends on Wednesday. 3 more days. (Hurray!) So here are my plans: (Besides Sleeping)

On Saturday, my grandparents come which is very good since I have not seen them in quite a while

Starting July 14:
I'm going to Horse Camp. I've been there before. In fact, its the same place where Marykate Olsen goes. She has a pony named CD which anyone can ride. I have rode CD a couple of times. Amanda said she saw Marykate and talked to her there, but I don't believe her.

Cruise (August 8):

Well I can't say much yet, cause I don't know much about it. All I can say is I'm going with my grandparents/cousins/Aunts/Uncles to Alaska! Which shall be fun~Maddy

Summer Fever

2003-06-11T15:56:00.000-07:00

Since school is almost out, life there is pell-mell (5th grade vocabulary). We also get letured a lot more than we use to because we are talking quite a lot more than we did in say September. I am going to another school next year--LCHS. I'm going to be a 7th grader. Yes, onward to Middle School I go. So, I'm enjoying my last few weeks at Elementary School--forever. And ever. And ever. And ever. And ever. And ever. And ever.~Maddy

Babysitting

2003-06-05T16:22:00.000-07:00

Me and Amanda are babysitting today... together. We get 5 dollars per hour. So that's $2.50 per hour which is pretty good since we are doing it together.~Maddy

Saturday and Sunday

2003-06-03T19:26:00.000-07:00

*Please read post from 6-1-03 or else this won't make much sense
Now where was I in the San Franisco San Franisco thing, oh yes Saturday. We woke up at 7:30. I was woken up by a camera. The first thing we did was went bridging-in other words we walked across the godlen gate bridge. Alex (one of the girls in my troop) kept of asking , "WHY IS THE GOLDEN GATE RED?" My answer that was California is the golden state, although I don't if I'm right or not. The walk was really tiring--and cold.

After that we went to the explOratoriom. I have been there once. I liked it alot. Anyway in the gift shop my mom brought me a clock that floats.

After that we went back to the hotel, the Marriot, and had sandwiches.

Then we went to Alcartraz, which was REALLY FUN!

After that we took a cable car down to China Town and shoped.I got a really nice picture frame--with dolphins on it.

Then we walked down to Ghardelii sqaure and brouhgt C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E. GOOD CHOCOLATE.

Then we went back to the hotel, hung out.

After that we went to dinner, and to sleep.

I woke up to Hilary Duff's song "Why Not." We took the berk (subway) down to Berkley. I wore an American Flag Bandanna--to Berkley. Yes, I am a big republican...~Maddy

Breaking News...

2003-06-01T20:29:00.000-07:00

Friday Night

2003-06-01T20:21:00.000-07:00

Finally, we arrived in San Franisco. First we decided who we were going to be in the same room with. I was with my friend, Emilie and her mother, and for all you Forrest Gump fans. We ate dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.~Maddy

Traveling...

2003-06-01T20:02:00.000-07:00

*Note: Please read note entitled, "School..." before reading this...
Since airfare isn't as cheap as driving, our troop decided to drive up to San Franisco. It is about a 6 hour drive, which isn't that bad if your with your friends, but I must say, conisedering the fact I get carsick, I would have prefered flying. Anyway, I drove in my mom's izuzu which is cool, becauce in the izuzu the roof comes down like a jeep, which was fun, exept on the bay bridge, where it is just plain cold. With me, was AManda and Alex. We talked most of the and made-up a game.~Maddy

School...

2003-06-01T19:50:00.000-07:00

I went to San Franisco this weekend...Ha, Ha. With my girl scout troop. Here's before we left, school:And all the boys at my school , were going to try and torture us, because one of their moms was bringing pizzza and they annoced during math class,

"My mom is bringing pizza and everyone can have some except Mady S.(My other friend named Maddy), Maddy, Emilie, and all their little friends."

Of course, Emilie and I happened to be there and we starting cracking up, because one day we bought pizza and we wouldn't give any to them and they promised they were going to bring some and wouldn't share, and the one
day we were going to miss lunch (to go to San Franisco)they bounght pizza. SO pathetic...

Then our teacher said,

"Now, what does that have to do with math? Obviously, the girls don't really care..."

We starting cracking up even louder while trying to explain we aren't going to even be there.

You should have see the look on there faces, depressing really...

More later, Amanda needs to use the phone...~Maddy

My science homework...

12. A septic system works by passing through a septic tank. A septic tank is an underground tank containing bacteria. Sludge must be cleaned out regularly, so it does not take up all the space in the tank. The rest of the water is filtered out.

Do I REALLY need to know this? I mean when I grow up I won't remember this. When I grow up I am planing to become an actress...~Maddy

I am Spoiled

2003-05-24T22:44:00.000-07:00

If you were reading my blog in April, you heard me talking about a cruise that I went on. There is good news (well for me) I'm going on a cruise to Alaska in August. (I AM SO SPOILED, I KNOW!) But that's not the BEST part...I'm sharing a room with Amanda (who never writes, even though its the TWINS tell the truth), and my 2 cousins-7 and 11. (I AM SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOO SPOILED) Lets see this is my 7th or 8th cruise now...~Maddy (I KNOW I'M SPOILED)

Maybe I should change the name of this blog...The SPOILED twins tells the truth.

Cat Evolution

2003-05-24T22:39:00.000-07:00

Animal Update

2003-05-24T20:35:00.000-07:00

You know...maybe you don't know but Justene Adamec is my mom. of Calblog Anyway she wrote what I was about to right. So I'll just copy and paste...if that's ok with you mom.
Calblog Wildlife Update

Our chicken eggs did not hatch, unfortunately. We're not sure why -- whether they died in the cool storage before the incubator came or whether we did something wrong in the incubator. We're going to try again after some discussion with the hatchery.

We got a squirrel-proof feeder. The perches are set so that when the squirrel lands on one, his weight closes the door. A squirrel discovered it and made it his project. At first, he tried the obvious way and quickly learned that, although he could get some spillage on the lower tray, he couldn't get most of the food. After much trial and error, he hung from the tree branch with his hind legs, held the feeder with his front legs, and could get as much as he wanted. So we moved it to the end of the branch and the theory that the thin end of the branch could not hold his weight. Our assumption was correct but he quickly knocked the feeder to the ground in his efforts. Then we got a length of rope and hung it from a strong branch so it was too long for him to hang and grab. So far, we are winning.

The beauties of technology...I love being able to copy and paste~Maddy

Something my friend was saying...

2003-05-09T17:48:00.000-07:00

My friend, Emilie, was telling me something interesting, or at least I thought so. Her dad was traveling in a state that recently had an tornato. (Which state slips my mind.) Anyway the tornato was in seeing distance. In fact, he was at the airport at the time. Everyone had to stand in the center of the airport. THe tornato was on the edge of the runway. EMilie said it was strong enough to take down a plane!~Maddy

Calpundit Answers

2003-05-09T17:34:00.000-07:00

Calpundit answers my question:

Maddy: Why don't people put cats on leashes?

Calpundit:Oh, and cats on leashes? Cats are simply much too smart for this kind of nonsense, Maddy. It just wastes valuable time that could be used for sleeping.

I WILL GET MY CAT TO WALK ON THAT LEASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tell you~Maddy

I just don't get it...

2003-05-06T07:51:00.000-07:00

Why don't people put cats on leashes? A couple (2 or 3, which is it, SO CONFUSING!) of years ago, I saw a lady walking her cat, ever since then, I of course wanted to walk MY cat, so a couple of days ago I got her a leash. sadly, she does not seem interested in walking with her mom and she does not like "I CAN'T RUN AWAY!" part. *Sigh* Life's Tough~Maddy

Movie Previews

2003-05-06T07:44:00.000-07:00

Is there anything more annoying than movie previews? In each preview it says stuff like "Best of the year..." A must see" You know stuff like that! I HATE IT! What's the point? All movies say that. ITS SO ANNOYING!~Maddy

Scott Peterson

2003-05-05T09:47:00.000-07:00

What was Scott thinking? I mean, after killing his wife, Laci, and unborn son, Conner, he just goes down to San Diego, and when the cops find him says, "I didn't murder my family." YEAH RIGHT! Oh, I didn't murder my family I just came down here, dyed my hair, and had 10,000 dollors in my pocket to hide because I felt like it. GET REAL!~Amanda

Movie Review: The Lizzie Mcguire Movie.

2003-05-03T19:52:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I saw the movie THe LIzzie Mcguire Movie. THe movie is about a regular girl about 13 or 14 year old girl, she goes on a class trip to rome. When in Rome, she meets a famous singer. SHe decided to ditch her class and go off with him.It was pretty good: but there was a bad side: The main character, as I was saying, went off with a boy she barely knew. Yeah, sure he was famous, but don't you think that's alittle bad for girls my age to be watching? I happened to see it with my girl scout troop, who discussed how this was not ok.~Maddy

CAT 6 VS. SAT 9

2003-04-29T20:26:00.000-07:00

As you may know, the California Testing has begun. Instead of the usual SAT 9, this year we have CAT 6. They are very similar tests. Personally, I couldn't tell the difference. Anyway, today our teachers bave us 85 minute for our first test. It only took like 30 minutes, which is good because I got a lot of reading done.~MAddy

Poem for School

2003-04-24T18:12:00.000-07:00

For the Book I'm reading, Bridge to Terabithia I had to write a poem and here it is...

Friends

(F)RIENDS ARE ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU
(R) EAL FRIENDS CARE
(I) believe friendship is one of the most important things in life
(E)NJOY EVERY MOMENT WITH YOUR FRIENDS
(N)EVER BE MEAN TO YOUR FRIENDS--YOU WILL REGRET IT
(D)ON’T ANNOY YOUR FRIENDS--THAT’S NOT WHAT FRIENDSHIP MEANS…
(S)o are your friends and you really friends?~Maddy

Poem

2003-04-24T15:52:00.000-07:00

For my book report I read Emily Dickinson and here's my report:

III. I’m Nobody, Who are you? By Emily Dickinson
Typed by Maddy Pumilia
--------------
I’m nobody! Who are you?
Are you a nobody, too?
Then there’s a pair of us--don’t tell!
They’d banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To Tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
--------------------------
Emily Dickinson lived in an attic when she wrote these poems. Obviously, she was very depressed. Wouldn’t you be too? Personally, I think she was a bit crazy--possibility having bipolar. She believed she was a “nobody.” So she wrote a poem. This poem was about how she felt about it. ~Maddy

More importantly, I sat in a box...so fun. THe Advengers won 50 to 14 aganist Buffalo. THe best part was "Stand WIth you Advengers" Where everyone stood up. THe annoucer was great. When not everyone was standing he said, "Everyone is supposed to be standing, Code 12 Section 3" you know something like that. *Laughs* Oh. *Sigh* No one laughing, you don't get it do you? Oh.. you had to be there. ~Maddy

The French

2003-04-21T20:29:00.000-07:00

A lot of people are mad at France, because of what’s happening in today’s world. Personally I am not mad at France. Although I do not agree with their decision, I do not think they have done anything wrong. I mean if you are mad at them, I guess you have to be mad at everyone else who’s anti-war. ~Maddy

Happy Easter

2003-04-21T20:28:00.001-07:00

And the charms I get are 18 carrot gold~ So they’re not that cheap. The ones I get are $18.41 (including Tax) a piece! Anyway they nice though. So the one I go was a French Flag. ~Maddy

The Word Couple.

2003-04-21T20:28:00.000-07:00

This is kind of a stupid question but does couple mean 2 or 3. Seriously. I mean some people same 2 some say 3. Personally, I think its 3. But my twin, Amanda says 2. Maybe I‘ll ask the dictionary…~Maddy

MOO!

2003-04-21T20:26:00.000-07:00

Well, my mom has talked my dad into it. I’m getting a chicken. Yes, a chicken. I’ve decided to name it Moo. At first I was going to name to Star The Chicken, after my cat, who’s name is Star Kitty. But then I thought I might get them confused. So I was going to name it Moon. But my mom thought I said, “Moo.” I liked that idea of naming it Moo so much I’ve decided to name it Moo. ~Maddy

Canival Vs. Celebrity

2003-04-12T22:39:00.000-07:00

I usually go on Carnival Cruises, but this cruise was on Celebrity. It was much more friendly...and the food was a lot better. My dad was talking to a guy in the casino, who says that its better than princess. My dad has been on 8 cruises, and this was his favorite. Also my friend, Kaylie, on the ship, her mom has a travel agent, and it was her favorite too. SO if you need a cruise, Celebrity is the answer....Of coursewhy would you listen to an 11 year old? Because I'm smart...no if youm still don't beleive me check out my mom's thoughts at Calblog.~Maddy

2003-04-02T15:32:00.000-08:00

Of course I wanted to get my mom on APril Fools' Day, so I took her blanklet and hid it in my sister's room when my sister was asleep, when she found it was missing---SHe looked down stairs, she finally figured it out--April Fools--but she couldn't find her blanklet--she had to wake me up!!!!!!!!!!!~Maddy

The April Fools' Day WAR!

2003-04-01T17:25:00.000-08:00

Stage 1: The Kids Trick

For April Fools' Day our grade planned to switch homerooms, I went to Ms. Keene's Homeroom. Usually Ms. Keene is so mean, but she let us stay in there! Some kids were late so they came in and they were like WHAT THE HECT? And then people started coming in and she would she SORRY! WE ARE FULL!

Stage 2: The Teacher's Revenge

The teachers had of course got revenge. They told us we had a 2 hour test due today, to be placed in 7th grade math. And we only had 1 hour 30 min. ~Maddy

Teachers....

2003-04-01T17:16:00.000-08:00

I'm in 6th grade. Almost in 7th...which the teachers use aganist us. They say things like, "Your the top of the school and whatever you do, the 1st graders will too." and "Your almost in 7th grade." SO annoying...~Maddy

My Grandpa's Blog

2003-03-30T13:41:00.000-08:00

my grandpa's blog is: http://ottothoughts.blogspot.com/ Its about as he states 'Comments on NY Times news' ~Maddy

From the comments:

2003-03-30T13:35:00.000-08:00

From the comments:Here's the answers to peoples comments: (I DO READ THEM!)

91210 says: Maddy, how do you know that Al Gore would have done nothing?

They are talking about when I said: Lets all imagine that Republican Geogre W. Bush did not win the election for president L, lets pretend Al Gore, a democrat, won. As Bill Clinton, another democrat, did, he would do basically nothing, except telling people to re-elect him and spending all the money. And what would happen if the terriost attacked like September 11, 2001? Nothing…except the terroist would STILL keep on attack, and Al Gore would STILL do nothing.

Here's my answer: Did he do anything when they attacked in 1993 (When he was vice president)~Maddy

Cruise

2003-03-30T13:30:00.000-08:00

It just so happens I I got stuck in the homeroom with THE CHATTERBOXES! Everyday Lecture after Lecture. About talking. GRRRRRR! And the the worst part is I DON'T EVEN TALK IN HOMEROOM! (Well, maybe alittle, but that's not the point) ~Maddy

Tomorrow is Springamajig, Springmajic is a school fundrasier. We use to have a circus instead, it had the elephanets and everything. But some people didn't like it, because of the animal issue, so they don't have it anymore. ~Maddy

Elevator

2003-03-26T16:42:00.000-08:00

I got this e-mail. But its really long so I cut out a part out it.

THINGS TO DO IN A ELEVATOR (Special Thanks to Manie M. who semd me this)

When there's only one other person in the elvator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.

Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.

Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones.

Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor your on.

Hold the doors open and say you're waiting for a friend. After a while, let the doors close, and say, "Hi Greg. How's your day been?"

Drop a pen and wait until someone goes to pick it up, then scream, "That's mine!"

Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.

Move your desk into the elevator and whenever anyone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.

Lay down the Twister mat and ask people if they would like to play.

Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on, ask them if they can hear ticking.

Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the passengers.

Ask, "Did you feel that?"

Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.

When the doors close, announce to the others, "It's OK, don't panic, they open again!"

Swat at flies that don't exist.

Tell people that you can see their aura.

Call out, "Group Hug!" and then enforce it.

Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering, "Shut up, all of you, just shut up!"

Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside, ask, "Got enough air in there?"

Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.

Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror, "Your one of THEM!" and back away slowly.

Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.

Listen to the elevator walls with a stethoscope.

Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.

Stare, grinning at another passenger for a while, then announce, "I have new socks on."

Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers, "This is MY personal space!"~Maddy

YAY!

2003-03-26T16:39:00.000-08:00

I have been going on auditions (and I'm only 11) for commericals, and my conjtract with my agent signed another year with me!~Maddy

Vote Republican

2003-03-26T16:32:00.000-08:00

I chose to write an essay on Why to vote Republican

Here it is:

Vote Republican
Out of the two main political parties they’re are many reasons people should vote Republican, not Democrat. My parents are Republican, and have taught me about Republicans and Democrats--Politics in General. Although they believe strongly in the matter (Well, my dad does.) they did not make me be a Republican, I decided to be one, I thought it was correct. I also have watched the news about polictics (usually Fox News), and read books, such as The O’Reilly Factor by Bill O’Reilly who is a reporter of Fox, so I known a lot about it. I feel that the Republicans are more reasonable and right. On the other hand SOME democrats are not.
Lets all imagine that Republican Geogre W. Bush did not win the election for president L, lets pretend Al Gore, a democrat, won. As Bill Clinton, another democrat, did, he would do basically nothing, except telling people to re-elect him and spending all the money. And what would happen if the terriost attacked like September 11, 2001? Nothing…except the terroist would STILL keep on attack, and Al Gore would STILL do nothing. Do you really want someone like that as president? Frankly, I REALLY don’t.
A big issue with Republicans and Democrats is the environment. Concerning all the cute, diminutive animals and gigantic trees. Democrats are very concerned about all the factories, you know, pollution and cutting down trees, Well, without all the factories, how are we supposed to use cars? Horses? I’d like to see all you democrats on those horses. Oh…there’s one little problem….STUDIES SHOW THERE WOULD BE MORE POLLUTION BECAUSE OF ALL THE HORSES! Gosh.
Moving on to taxes, UGH! I hate taxes, I repeat I HATE TAXES! Besides giving away all your money, the worst thing thing about taxes is some people think rich people should have taxes on more things. I ask you, what ever happened to, ’For the People’ not…for the rich people. Get it? Got it? Good. Another thing that really bugs me is sales tax. Even me, a child, has to pay taxes. (What has happened to this world? Even special me has to pay taxes? AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!) When you go to the store you have to pay extra money--Tax. Grrrrr! Take money from my parents--but not from me--that’s just plain WRONG! Now, what does this have to do with being a Republican? The Republicans want to lower the taxes. (Good.) Are you with me? Or is this confusing you? Another tax (Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!) is estate tax. When you die, half of that money goes to the government. And the rest goes to your friends/ sister/ brother/ mom/ dad/ aunt/ uncle/ daughter/ son/ husband/ wife/ grandma/ grandpa/ complete stranger/ and so on and so forth. Then when that person dies half the money (again) goes to the government. IT’S THE SAME MONEY! THAT’S RIDICULOUS! Oh…and was the democrats doing with all money? According to Bill O’Reilly, 3 years ago Democrats were spending 4,000,000 (yes, 4 million, 6 zeros) dollars on teaching people how to clip their toenails. (Really! No Lie! Look on pg. 150 from The O‘Reilly Factor.)
California is going through HUGE money problem, thanks to Democrat Gray Davis. He spent all California’s money. IT WAS ALL HIS FAULT! Once again, the Democrats messed up. And do you really want someone like that as president?
There are your reasons to vote Republican. Maybe I’ll run vote office someday. Pumilia…remember that name. Vote. Vote Republican. Vote Republican Maddy.~Maddy

And first...THE WAR UPDATE!

2003-03-26T16:27:00.000-08:00

I'm sure most of you people out there are watching the news...I know I am. I have on thing to say. God Bless America, Iraq, and every other place.~Maddy

2003-03-17T07:53:00.000-08:00

My teachers now are giving dententions (A.K.A. Yelow Slips!!) for chewing gum, passing notes, talking, etc. I've even seen soneone get a 'yellow slip' for talking, but she weren't talking! And one kid says he got 'yellow slip' for at an old lady. ~Maddy

2003-03-17T07:46:00.000-08:00

Bloging will be light. Very busy. Life.~Maddy

I'LL BE SORRY!

2003-03-17T07:40:00.000-08:00

Amanda says I'll be sorry because I'm pro-war.~Maddy

WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2003-03-17T07:39:00.000-08:00

So Bush decided on a war. Goodbye Saddam.~Maddy

ITS STUPID!

2003-03-15T13:53:00.000-08:00

So I was reading a book, THE O'REILLY FACTOR, and you have to remember, this was written years ago. But the goverment spent 4,000,000 (yes, 4 million 6 zeros.) on teaching about how to cut toenails. UGH! My parents are spending their $(tax) on clipping...TOE NAILS! ITS NOT THAT HARD!~Maddy

I'm a BAD person!

2003-03-15T13:49:00.000-08:00

Sorry a haven't written since the 11th. I've been really busy. My school play was this week and I had a Unit test in math...and blah, blah, blah!~Maddy

My Play

2003-03-15T09:19:00.001-08:00

Me and Maddy were in our sixth grade play. It was called the Auzzimagooths and the Chizzlewinks. I was a wall, and Maddy was a Chizzlewink leader. Basically, the story was about two places that fight constantly. The wall ( that's me) separates them. When wall is stolen, every goes ballistic. They call Alozo, who knows all but always ends up talking about something else. In the end, the wall circles around everyone, and the fighting stops.

Amanda Speaks

2003-03-15T09:19:00.000-08:00

I'm anti-war. I think we should'nt attack Saddam. He's evil and if we attack then we'd be evil, too. Two evils don't make a right. Let him attack, we're stronger. We have the power of peace, goodness, and fairness, on our side.

Wait...something's wrong.

2003-03-11T09:13:00.000-08:00

My cast is still here. Someone (not my parents) forgot to drive me there, and I missed my chance. So I will get it off today. But I'm missing dress rehearsal for my play~Maddy

Who Wants TO Be A Miliionaire~Play it @ CA Adventure. I WAS IN THE HOTSEAT!

2003-03-10T09:44:00.000-08:00

At California Adventure they have a re-creation of Millionaire. Exept the audience can get in the hotseat too. The stadium holds 650 people. And guess who got in the hotseat. Me. Instead of winning a $1,000,000, you win a cruise and other stuff. I of course didn't win the cruise, but I won 4 pins and a button that says I was in the hotseat. Worth:$36.00. On the 1st question I had to use 2 lifelines, but I knew the answer. I was so nervous! PRESSURE! Anyway I walked anyway on the 4th question, I WANTED THHE PINS!!!!!! But hey some grown-ups were on and 2 left only 1 question ahead and the other guy left with the button.Anyway I wanted to get right back in the hotseat, but I can't go back until April 8. My sister got 10th place once, my mom best score was 6th place and my dad got 2nd. But they all got that in game where only like 300 were playing. I got in the hotseat in a full house game.:( On the next show, for the 8th time since Nov., a guy won the cruise.~Maddy
