Every year I write a note to Santa. This year, I posted it on my Kaboodle list. I transcribed it here. (Beware, ridiculously sappy)
Dear Santa,
This year has been incredibly exciting. All this year I have been reminded of all the people around me who love me and all of the things that I am thankful [...]

Last week, my language arts teacher wrote the word “Segragation” on the board and told us to write for ten minutes what the word makes us think. What it makes us feel. Our reactions. In a little while, I’ll post what I wrote, but for now, here’s what occured afterwards:
Our language arts teacher discussed our reactions [...]

This is my letter that I wrote to my self for Language arts class, so those of you who want to do the “Letter to your future self” part of my “101 things#4″ post have something to go off of. It’s also kind of funny, in a weird sort of way.

Bonjour! If you don’t [...]

10. Write a letter to your future self
This one was inspired by this year’s Language arts teacher. She had me write a letter to my self about goals and school and everything, but I ended up loving the exercise and pouring my soul into it. I loved it and will post my letter if you [...]

I try to reply to everybodies comment with a personalized response, but the undertone to all the replies that I’ve given to the comments that have stopped my heart with their kindness, staggered me with their beauty, touched me with how heartfelt they were, was this: Thank you. Thank you all so much for your [...]

I just met a ton of bloggers, all of whom were inspiring, interesting, funny, amazing in some way. I have collected enough free stuff that I probably could hand out an item to every American citizen and still have some left over. I have probably eaten twice my weight in those delicious chocolate covered strawberries. I have [...]

Denise has recently told me of a librarian that complained that very few childrens books these days had strong or main male characters to which I replied: “She must not read enough. Plenty of books I read have main male characters, and the only reason that it’s not written from their perspective is so that [...]

Last night, I went to a Beach Boys concert at Ravinia, which was followed by a seriously weird dream. But let’s start at the beginning.
