YOUR NAME: Bonizzle
Location: Where the rain never stops!!!
Mood: Happy cuz I don't have that much homework today! Too bad I still hafta play piano and violin -_-

What is your favorite type of weather?
I love the rain, especially when I'm going asleep, because it's so soothing to listen to. I don't like thunderstorms because they're too loud, but I like a fervent drizzle of rain, loud enough to hear the pitter-patter of water hitting the sidewalk. Of course, that doesn't mean I don't like sun! Sun is good, as long as it isn't sweltering hot. A gentle sun and a cool breeze is lovely weather for me :)

What books are you currently reading?
FRANKENSTEIN! But I've barely started and it's a required book to read.
Little Women! I'm trying to get through it, but so far it's been kinda cheesy. I tried to read it a long time ago in elementary school, but failed...
And I'm reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in my spare time *coughcoughwhenI'minthebathroom^^*

What are you thankful for?
My family, my house, food, my camera, my computer, electricity, the internet, youtube, school, the PRISM/gifted program, my books, candy, and every single one of you!

How ARE the kids???
The kids are worrying about their grades! I keep telling them that 2 B+'s is alright but the youngest just won't get over the fact that in Freshman year, a straight A record is OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE.
The middle child is not as worried, she's pretty happy about Halloween and Homecoming and that competition she had to go to. October was a pretty good month for her, but because of that, she's getting lazy and not practicing nearly as much as she should.
The oldest doesn't care about academics or aesthetics, all she wants to do these days is EAT. She bought half a Kahlua pie and a slice of pumpkin pie a couple days ago, a box of powdered cookies at a craft show, three bottles of apple cider, and a couple of spices that she had her mother put on chicken and fish. On top of that, she's devouring all her Halloween candy when she thinks her mother isn't watching her. That can't be good for her braces, but what does she care? She's gluttonous and fat and she's HAPPY about it.
