Hey Hey!

Just posting to let you know that the B.O.B. has been updated with a new post. It's an analysis of my bookshelf...
Sounds boring, but I promise it's not.
Here's the link:
B.O.B. Bookshelf Analysis

Have a great Thanksgiving!

A Very Very Special B-Day

Percy's B-day!!!!!!!
In two ways:

It's been ten years of Percy Jackson!! He's old enough to get his Hogwart's letter!
And...
On the 18th, it was Percy's actual birthday! Which means...

*drum roll*

Percy Jackson's Heroes by Rick Riordan is out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*fangirl moment*

(Let me take a moment to compose myself...)
(There we go.)

So, we just another exuse to eat blue food. (Yeah, that's right, Smelly Gabe. You heard us. BLUE FOOD.)
Have a good week!

Track 2-Chocolate

Hi guys!
So I said that I would try to squeeze in a post over the weekend, but there weren't any interesting stories during the dive, besides the fact that when we were feeding the fish underwater, they keep on biting my dad's ear. And I'm not writing a whole post about my dad getting bit in the ear by a fish.
After the dive trip, we went to North Carolina for a visit. It was a one day trip. Sadness. But it was super fun.
We stayed at Lakeview at Fontana

So the awesome thing about this hotel is no wifi, and no TV.
It was so awesome.
See, usually, our house has the TV blaring with kill-everyone-within-two-hours type movies, so it's not that peaceful. So when we get there it's like:
Silence.
Complete and utter silence.
Amazing.
Plus we're in the mountains, so the views are beautiful, and it's actually COLD OUTSIDE! (HECK YEAH! *high fives everybody*)

So there was a pool of course.

It. Was. Freezing.
There were these tubes on the sides of the pool recirculating water, most of them were relatively warm, and then there's one, that is 52 DEGREES!
That may not seem cold normally, but once you start diving, 60 degrees is freezing.

So this is the view walking out of the pool:

Not bad, right? Look closer.

These are the stairs that you have to climb after the pool. And that's not even all of the stairs. This was just the main set.
Fun, I know.
;)
For the most part, we stayed out of the pool, and played cards--
Friends: *gasp* you sat together with no WiFi and electronics and played what?
Me: Cards.
Friends: What are these cards you speak of?

But really, we played Spades on a deck outside, mostly because my mom refused to learn how to play my favorite card game Kingma.

And there was this super cute calico kitty named Chloe out there. My dad kept trying to call her over like a dog (we have an old man beagle).

So, I really hoped I made your week with cute kitty pictures.
:)
So for the rest of the time we actually went into society, and walked around in the shops. There was this one place that had super cute cheap clothes, and NONE OF THEM FIT ME. (Any other ladies out there that understand the struggle too?)
*crickets*
(shoot.)
And we found this amazing chocolate place! It was amazing. They make actual chocolate there.
Mind=blown. (I'm so happy whenever I find places like this.)


:)
Well, that was my trip...
And I promise that I will *try to* post almost every week, whether it be The B.O.B. (which I have an announcement for), or on here.
And if it's on here, The B.O.B. will have a link on it, and vise-versa, so you won't miss a post.

Here's the songs of the week:
Post song: Chocolate-The 1975
Awesome Week Song: Choices-To Kill a King feat Bastille and Friends

Have a bossome week! Update about the B.O.B. coming soon!

Last Day of the Music Challenge!

Good evening, my friends!
I feel particularly snobbish because I just finished watching Pride and Prejudice. I feel like that whenever I watch a movie with British people in it...

Alright, I hope that wasn't completely dull for you guys.
I'll try to slip in a story post over the weekend. I'm going to be on a dive trip, so no promises.
Hopefully see you soon!

Music Challenge Week Day 2-Misheards

Day 2 my friends!
:)
This one's probably going to be my favorite and the shortest:
Top 3 Favorite Miss Heard Lyrics
Here are the rules:
-Please number your favorites in order (1- most favorite 3- least favorite)
-It doesn't have to be a common misheard lyric, maybe just something that you heard wrong...And thought that the lyric was that for a couple of months.
-Please put the correct lyric under the miss hear one, and the song and artist
-Again, please comment below yours or blog about it
:)

1. Blank Space-Taylor Swift
Incorrect: "I've got a long list of Starbucks lovers..."
Correct: "I've got a long list of ex-lovers..."

2. Get Lucky-Daft Punk
Incorrect: "Stay up all night for Mexican Monkey..."
Correct: "Stay up all night to get lucky..."

3. Radioactive-Imagine Dragons
Incorrect: "Ready to whack you! Ready to whack you!"
Correct: "Radioactive! Radioactive!"

This one didn't make it on the list, but probably one of my most embarrassing Misheards:
Marching On-One Republic
Incorrect: "My chenole..."
Correct: "Marchin on..."

What's a chenole? I dunno. A combination of a pole and a cannoli?
*shrugs*
Well, I hope you guys have a great day filled with chenoles.
What ever that is.

Track 1: I Just Came To Say Hello

Where to start...
Well, um, hi, I'm Annabeth! (I guess I'll start there) I'm slightly awkward, really random and ... weird. We'll just leave it at that. I'm also a bookie, a person who dedicates time to books (I have a blog, by the way, it was my first blog, check it out here). I also love music, rock is my favorite. (Bear with me here, the rest of the ride isn't as dull.)

Which has brought me to tell you, my life is a mix. An awesome mix. It's filled with songs about ups and downs, mythological references, and occasionally love (which is an awkward word I don't mention much). I'll occasionally tell you a weird story, and the title will always have to do with a song, and I'll give you my favorite song of the week.

So, hi.
To get us started, I'd like to tell you a story about:
THE TIME MY SCHOOL EXPLODED.
Sounds fun, huh? Sort of.

It started one sunny, really boring second period. Science. Yay.
:/
Science isn't my favorite, but it isn't the worst. (Social studies takes that prize.)
We were sitting relatively peacefully in the computer lab rolling around in the seriously awesome rolly chairs, when the fire alarm went off. We thought it was just a drill at first. But, the school never really pulled the fire trigger when there was lunch going on, and some kids were having lunch. So my friend Connor and I assumed some idiot had pulled the fire trigger.
Then we got outside.

We stand in straight lines in front of the school, like normal, doing Roll call and all of that. Then the teachers tell us to sit down, so we figured we might be there for a couple more minutes.
Nope.
Just when we get real comf there on the grass, we hear this huge bang. Like, really really big. Some of us thought that it was a gunshot and screamed, but I TOTALLY wasn't one of those people...

But you can hear one kid in the distance scream out:
"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!"
We all just gave him the death look.
So, now we know that part of our school had just exploded.
You think that that's the end and we just peacefully sit there for a couple of minutes and go inside? You really are adorable.
:)

A teacher directs us to the bus lanes behind the school and onto the back fields joining the high school and middle school.
We walked down to the football field, got on the bleachers, and sat.
And then the principal walked out in front of the bleachers and gave us a talk.
"We might be out here for a while."
I'm interrupting this statement to tell you we were out there for over five hours.
"The cafeteria ladies are bringing out some food."
Cold hot dogs and nacho cheese? Nice.
"So just sit tight while we get everything under control."
I don't think that our principal is aware that we're sitting out in over 80 degree weather (in the middle of winter) with over two hundred kids in crowded bleachers who can't sit still than more than a minute.
Sit still.
Sure.
;)

Fast forward to about 4 hours later. We're all sunburned, and there's a huge line of parents coming to check on their kids. Some of us get checked out, and others, had to wait until bus call.
Next day, everyone is sunburned and red and we figure out that the transformer had exploded. For those of you who don't know what a transformer is, it's somewhat of an energy source, so our power went out.
And that, is how my school exploded.
Moral of the story? Carry sunscreen around. World problems solved. Boom.
:)

Weekly Song: Links below are attachments to videos..all kid appropriate, promise.
Two Princes-Spin Doctors
Post Song:
I Just Came to Say Hello-Martin Solveig et Dragonette

Have a great week guys!
