Peanut Butter

I have mixed feelings on Peanut Butter. I really like it with somethings, but I HATE it with others. It is alright in Recesses and Peanut Butter Captain Crunch, but I don't like it plain. It is just one of those foods that rocks when wanted, but if not wanted.. EWW!

I really like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with egg noodle soup on rainy days. I don't know why but that is such a rainy (or snowy) day food. I usually, on a sunny day, would have cream cheese with jelly or something. Peanut butter and cheese sandwiches are SO good! Everyone thinks I am weird for liking those two mixed, but I don't care. It is amazing.

I am a crunchy peanut butter person. Smooth is just to, well, smooth. Crunchy makes me feel like I am getting the full peanut butter experience. I really like Jiff. With smooth I prefer Skippy, but I love Jiff crunchy. When you open that blue lid, you know you're getting a treat! I also really like that peanut butter jelly mixed together thing. I think Schmuckers makes it. I don't know but that is delicious! I hate the smell of grape jelly (I don't advise smelling it) so I sometimes have issues with eating it, so my mom will only buy it if it is on sale.

Peanut butter can either make or break a candy. Personally, I love peanut butter M & M's cold. They are just so yummy. On the other hand, I am NOT a fan of peanut butter Snickers or Butterfinger. They are just meant to be left alone. I don't like peanut butter in cookies either. Today I had a peanut butter M & M cookie and it was really gross. I mean no offence for Hy-vee making such putrid cookies, but ewwww.

Peanut butter on the other hand is my brother's favorite food. He would eat a peanut butter sandwhich everyday if he could. I think it is barbaric and weird. I guess your taste for it isn't genetic. It's just one of those things, that makes you who you are.

Halloween:)

It's almost Halloween! I love it. It is defiantly one of my favorite holidays. I used to love dressing up and getting candy. I swear when I was young enough to go trick or treating, Halloween was either really cold or on a school night. Now that I have stopped it has been nice and on a weekend. Totally bogus if you ask me.

I was until I was about seven. I just really liked being a witch. I was never really creative on costumes. I would always just go with a small group of friends. I lived in a small town, so no one really worried if I was going to get abducted or not.

I love the colors of Halloween. I like the orange of the pumpkins, white of the ghosts, green of Frankinstine, and vampires. I am mad becuase I liked vampires before Twlight came out, and now everybody does. Don't you just hate it when that happens? I loved Interview with a Vampire. It was a great movie (I will get to reading the book I swear!) Sorry I am digressing.

My favorite candy was Recess back then. I swear now they have changed the formula. They taste all werid now. I think it's the peanut butter. Now I am a huge fan of M & M's. They are one of my favorite chocolate candies. I also like Hershey's Cookies and Cream, which they took away for a while and I got sad, and Butterfinger chrisp, or crunch, whatever it is. I love them all. My favorite non chocolate candy is proballyStarburst. They are just so juicy and good. Of course, my favorites change often, so nothing is set in stone.

I am not sure what I am doing this Halloween. I want to hang out with a bunch of friends, but I don't know yet. Everyone always makes plans, but they never really get official. On the Friday before I think I am going to Improv Night which shall be fun! I am going with my friend Alicia. I haven't hung out with her in a while. Maybe I will hang out with her on Halloween. I don't know. I'll be sure to fill you in!

The color yellow

Yellow is my favorite color. All the happy things are yellow. The sun is yellow. My favorite flowers are yellow. Highlighters are yellow. The Walmart guy is yellow. Yellow is bright. Those are just a few reasons why it is my favorite color.

Yellow has been my favorite color since I was in second grade. We had to do a project on what color best describes us. Yellow was mine. I was smart and always happy. I was also one of four blond kids in my grade. I lived in California. Ever since then I have been in love with the color yellow.

I love most colors. I get annoyed with some like purple and tan, but other then that they are all pretty cool. I am a bright color person. I really like pink and bright blue, which makes me like black because they go good against it. Technically black isn't a color, but who likes to be technical anyways. I think I like bright colors because I like to stand out. I don't like to be weirdly different, but having some orginality is nice. I usually wear bright colored shorts. They are my favorite.

Red is my second favorite color. Red and yellow don't really go good together except on gummy worms. I wanted to paint my bedroom red when I moved here, but my mom wouldnt' let me. She says that it is to hard to paint over if we ever move again. I was sad, but I moved on. My favorite pair of shorts is red. I wear them the most. Red is just so lucious. It is a deep color. I don't like that maroon color, I just like pure red, like off the crayon. It could mean good and bad. It just works.

Color is something that has an important part in my life. When I get a house of my own I am going to paint every room a different color. I love opening a box of crayons for the first time and seeing all the colors. Crayons are the best form of coloring. Colors rule. :)

Ahhhhh:)

I am listening to "First Dates" by Blink-182 and I love it. I have their greatest hits blaring on repeat. Their music is so good. A lot of their songs really get to me. This one in particular is about a guy who is nervous on his first date. He just wants the date to get over, but the relationship to work. It is really cute.

It is not just the words that make this a great song. I love drums. To me the drums are almost the most important thing in a song. The first thing that is key is the sound of the voice. If it is annoying and unpleasnt, the song is just annoying when it is on the radio. Next I think is drums. The rythem is what classifies the song. After that is the combination of bass and guitar. They have to go together well and they have to go with everything else. Most of my absolute favorites have a bass and guitar sound that is playing two different things. It is harder to do, so you know they put a lot of thought into it. Lastly into making a great song is the words. If everything else is great, the words don't matter. It is the reason why I love a lot of church songs. The words are pretty cheesy but everything else is pretty cool.

Blink-182 is pretty amazing. Now I am listening to "Feeling This". I have no idea what this song is about, but I love it. I am glad their drummer Travis Barker was in a plane crash and I am happy he is okay. His talent is amazing. He will always have burn scars, and might not ever be able to play like this again, but he will live pretty normal and I'm happy for that.

Now "I miss you" is playing. This is one of my favorite songs ever. I have loved this song since the first time I heard it. It refrences "The Nightmare Before Christmas" when he says: "live like Jack and Sally" and that is one of my favorite movies of all time. I also think of this song whenever I hear the word spider. I told that to my friend and now she thinks the same thing. I think it is funny. Everytime we listen to her ipod I we will listen to Blink-182. My choise. I think she gets annoyed sometimes, but she lets me.

I am adding the offical "First Dates" music video. Caution: Swearing.

If I had one Superpower...

I have two super powers in mind. They are both things that would be very relevant to my daily life. I would probably wear a costume and help people out at night. My name would be Magical Multiple-powered Miranda! It would be totally sweet if I could have both at the same time.

The first super power I have in mind is flying. It would be so easy to get around and do things. I would never need a ride, wait in traffic, or spend money on gas. I could just decide I wanted to go out and fly away. At night I could attach glow sticks to my feet and legs and I would look like a neon rainbow. I always imagine what that would be like. I have dreams sometimes about flying. Those are some of the best dreams ever.

The other super power I have in mind is being able to know all the information about a song within two point three seconds of listening to it. As soon as a song would come on the radio a pop-up would flash into my head and tell me what song it was, who sings it, album, year, and there might even be a "play music video" option. Of course this could get kind of annoying, especially if your in one of those moods where you want to listen to one song over and over and over again. There would be an on/ off switch in your belly button. That way it wouldn't get in the way.

Those would be the coolest super powers ever. Everyone has thought at least once in their life about what super power they would chose if they could chose anything. I don't read comic books, or watch many action movies. I think the stories I come up with in my head are cooler and not so boyish. Even girly comics are pretty manly. I should become a comic book writer. For our ninth grade end of the year how-to projects I did mine on comic making, not that I have ever done one. I actually didn't get it done until the night before and drew my comics ten minutes before class. It was about a purple dinosaur. I don't remember much about it other then that I got a B+ on the whole assignment somehow. I haven't really drawn anything since then. Dinosaurs are still pretty sweet though.

I prefer water.

Some people think that that is the weirdest thing ever. It is so refreshing. Always. After a walk, or even with food, it is the happiest drink alive. Even though it is not alive.

I don't drink pop. It makes my stomach hurt really bad. It doesn't taste good. When I am sick I like drinking Sprite, but that is pretty much the only time. It always makes me dehydrated too. I don't really like milk either. Chocolate milk is acceptable at lunch because I think it is bogus to have to pay $1.25 for a water. I put milk into cereal, but I only use the tiniest amount. People think that is weird too. I don't even like milk with cookies. Milk= bla. Kool-aid is pretty good on occasion. There are some meals that water just doesn't taste good with. It doesn't go to well with chicken or ketchup. I don't usually eat either of those things, but when I do I need something like kool-aid or sunny-D to help it down. Sunny Delight is the only orange juice I will drink but my lips are usually chapped and I don't know if you have ever had orange juice in your cracked lips, but believe me, it sucks.

I prefer tap water with ice cubes. I don't like water bottles that much. I always feel like I am limited to how much the water bottle holds. When I use a cup I always feel more able to get refils if needed. Whenever I go out to eat I get water. I get as much as I want and it is free. It is nice. Water also makes me hyper. Caffine doesn't. It is really werid how that works. Only cold water does. It just like wakes me up or something. Caffine from pop usually makes me sick so I do not get hyper. That might be totally weird, but that's me. Yesterday our sink broke so I had to go two meals without water. I don't mean to sound like a drama queen, but that sucked. When it got fixed and I drank like five cups of water. Yumm.

I don't like bridges, ESPECIALLY when they are over water. They are just that much creepier. I don't really like the ocean either. It is strange that I love drinking water so much, yet I hate all other water. I don't mind pools. I mean I will get into lake or ocean water, I just don't like being over it. I probally won't ever take a cruise that is for a long period of time. It is very wierd.

It makes me wonder.

I went to my first best buddies party after school today. It was really fun. There was a treasure hunt, cookie decorating, pizza, and braclett making. I am an associate member meaning that I am not paired up with one particular buddy, I am just there to help keep things moving smoothly. It is a really interesting club. I changed the way I look at people with disabilities.

We have all seen disabled people. Weather they are paralyzed, seriously injured, or just slow, we have all felt bad for them at least once in our lives. It really makes me value life on so many ways. One of the best things about being there, is seeing how happy they are. It makes the world seem like a lesser place when people who have everything mope around, when the disadvantaged people take life in and make the best of it everyday.

It was cool how sweet the teachers and all the peer buddies were. Everything that the buddies said was listened to with respect. I saw parents pick up their kids, and it made me start thinking if my child will be like that. I don't know what I would do. people in the world. The teachers of the classes, the sign language translators, the peer best buddies friends, the family members, and everyone involved, those are the people who are making the world a better place.

I love Christmas music!

Winter is a great time of year. I think that is why I love the winter. I love it when the sky is cloudy and there is snow on the ground. The house will start smelling of cookies and I will be allowed to play Christmas music whenever I want. It is a magical time of year.

The thing that I hate the most about the winter are the clothes. I am a shorts person. I have decided that this year at school I might wear shorts in the winter. My legs don't really get cold. Ever. My arms do. That is why lately I have been wearing long sleeved shirts, shorts, and my DC shoes everyday. I have a bright green coat that I am kind of excited to wear. But not really.

Christmas music is my favorite! Sometimes when in the summer I will still listen to it. It is just so happy. Plus I love the sound of bells, and most of them do. My favorite Christmas song is Sleigh Ride. I fell in love with that one by listening to the Hilary Duff Christmas CD. I also really like Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!, What Child is this?, The First Noel, and all the rest of the songs on the Hilary Duff Christmas CD. I sang Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow! in fourth grade with my best friend Megan for our Christmas concert. I also play it on the piano. It has really fun notes. I also love playing The First Noel. In eighth grade I sang What Child is this? at church on Christmas Eve. It was really fun.

There are just so many wonderful things about the winter season. Today we saw the first snow. Unfortunately it didn't stick. It is only the beginning of October, but I can't wait until more comes!
