Christmas Update

WOW! Christmas came and went SO fast! I think people spend more time preparing than acually celebrating! :) I hope you had a good Christmas, Hannukah (I hope I spelled that right), Kwanza or whatever you celebrate :). I got lots of cool stuff and I'm very grateful. I now have an iPod touch and some more cool clothes and CDs. I gave my 2-year-old sister, Abbie, my old wallet with a cute little dog on the front. Very sweet! On the other hand, Abbie got some new Strawberry Shortcake DVDs that are about as sickly sweet as a pile of rotten bananas. At least they keep her quiet for a while. Thank you for supporting Emmels World and Danielle, if you are reading this, the bananas did not get through to me. Abbie already got the banana in her stocking anyways, so don't worry. Thank you.

Baby

For a baby, you could get them a cute outfit. Another good idea is a plush toy or stuffed animal. A baby also might like a book with flaps or fabric to feel. They like different textures.

Toddler

A toddler might want a toy with wheels to pull around, since they had started walking. Also, they might like toys that roll or make noise. Books that read themselves are good for them, too. They keep them interested.

A young kid might want something with a character from a TV show on it, such as a Dora purse or Barney stuffed animals. Boys might like a toy car, a girl might opt for a doll.

Boys and girls might like paints and crayons. boys can be found playing with action figures, while girls might like dolls with hair they can style and plastic make-up.

1st Grade-2nd Grade

Girls want things they can make, such as beads for bracalets or glitter stickers to decorate their school supplies. Boys might like little collectible toys or cards to trade with friends.

3rd-5th Grade

Girls like pajamas, notebooks, and accessories.  Boys want skateboards, ripsticks, bikes, scooters, and any accessories for them.

Middle Schoolers

Boys and girls want gift cards to stores or, if they have an iPod, a gift card to iTunes. Cellphone cases are popular.

High Schoolers

They want money, because they feel responsible enough to spend it usefully, and they might want to shop with friends.

Collage+

Decorative things or candles for women, men might like tickets to a sports event, Nascar race, or monster truck rally.

I hope that now you have an idea or two on what to get that special person for Christmas. Thanks for reading. :)

You Kept a Piece of Me

I loved you,
yes I did.
I loved you,
through and through.
I loved you,
yes I did.
I loved you,
sweet and true.
You will always keep a piece of me.

I thought you'd be my friend forever,
but that didn't last.
I thought you'd be my friend forever,
but that was in the past.
I thought you'd be my friend forever,
but it didn't last.
I thought you'd be my friend forever,
but you will always have a piece of me.

Then there came that day,
were we left you and I was hurt.
Then there came that day,
when I was kicked to the dirt.
Then there came that day,
were we left you and I was hurt.
Then there came that day,
but you will always have a piece of me.

This poem is about my old dog, Ruby. We used to have so much fun, but we had to give her away. Later we would visit her, once every year. But all of a sudden, we stopped visiting her. I asked my mom why. She didn't tell me until years later that it was because Ruby had died of cancer. I love you, Ruby. You kept a piece of me.

The Truth About Truth Is

Truth is, I don't have much to say
because, truth is, truth is is gay. :)

Fame

You may want to be famous,
with the glamour and the money,
but when people bring you down,
your hopes feel a little funny.

You think they're right,
It was never meant to be,
maybe I'm wrong about myself,
maybe fame isn't right for me

But no, they're wrong, they have no clue,
about what one is meant to do.
So stand tall, and let it roll
your confidence won't pay the toll.

AHHHH!

Today I am racing in the tri-county meet as one of the top middle school runners in New Hampshire! Wish me good luck!
