The votes are in

Yes, the elections were today, and sadly I lost :-( I tried my hardest and that's all that matters. I'm sure Kirsten will be a great president; she deserves it more than I do. With the whole archiving thing stressing her out, I think it'll be nice for her to concentrate on something more positive for a change.

Also, tomorrow is 10/31/09 a.k.a HALLOWEEN!

BOO!

I am "booing" all of my readers, which means that you have to tell a spooky story on your blog either about Halloween or any other time you were really, really freaked out. I'll start:

Last Halloween I went trick-or-treating with Maggie's doll Mia. Mia is very nice and sweet, but she is a total scaredy cat! I persuaded her (somehow!) to go with me into the haunted house our neighbor's had set up across the street. We walked in and scary music started to play, and creepy guys in zombie clothes started jumping out at us, and chasing us. Even I, a horror movie fanatic, was a tad bit scared, so I knew Mia was probably wanting to cry. But, I looked over at her and she was laughing like she was having the best time EVER! It amused me so much that the queen of wimps (no offense, Mia! You rock!) was less scared than I was so then I started to laugh. The other people in the haunted house probably thought we were crazy!

Alright, that was my spooky story (okay, it wasn't that spooky but it did have to do with Halloween, so there!) so I encourage you all to write your own! I am anxious to read some of your funny/creepy Halloween experiences. I know I have way more than just that one!

Anyways, tonight I carved a pumpkin and it was very fun. Sunny said my pumpkin turned out great, but I'm not so sure I agree. What do you think???

Sunny has been, of course, going nuts over her puppy. She thinks he is so cute, and he is! She has two french bulldogs (Finn and Gus) and a cross between a frenchy and pug named Doc.

Have a great night, and see you tomorrow with a special Halloween post!

School Elections: UPDATE

I've decided to run for president...okay, more like forced to run. Kirsten has been getting extra bossy lately (I think she's still upset about the whole "archiving" thing) and has been taking her bossy-ness out on all my friends! It's very annoying. SO....Julie, Noelle, Jane, Samantha, Elizabeth, Gwen, and Victoria came to my dorm and practically begged me to run so they don't have to deal with bossy Kirsten 24/7. "I really don't think Kirsten's being mean, she's just trying to be an effective class president," I had said, trying to get out of running.

"I don't think so!" Julie exclaimed. "She yelled at me because I was passing notes to Madi during science. Who does she think she is....Senora Montoya???"

"Don't be so hard on her," I said. "She'll definitely try her best to make FMSG a great place to learn. I mean, the locker clean-up day sounds like a fantastic idea! No way do I have more to offer."

"Come on, Cali," Elizabeth a.k.a Lizzie replied. "You are full of wonderful ideas! Remember that time you wanted to have the entire 6th grade class read to the elementary school once a month? That was a very good idea, right girls?"

My friends nodded.

"We-ell," I sighed. "I guess I'll run. I mean, that was a good idea. And, I do have a lot more up my sleeves! Heck, I even know a good idea for the campaign posters. This could actually be more fun than I thought!"

My friends high-fived me, excitedly and we started working on the posters. Here's my favorite campaign poster:

I think it looks really professional. This presidential thing isn't as bad as I thought! Uh-oh, gotta go! Sunny's taking me to the pumpkin patch now :-) Bye!

School Elections???

Yep, the FMSG elections begin next week and then the week after that (the day before Halloween) the actual votes are cast. Everyone who wants to run has to notify Assistant Principal Johannsen and get signatures of approval from all their teachers by Friday. Noelle, Jane, and even Gwen are pestering me to run, but I'm not so sure. I mean, am I really presidential material?

Who's Running for What (as of today):

Secretary: Samantha Parkington

Rebecca Rubin

Treasurer: Noelle Greene

Molly McIntire

Vice-president: Elizabeth Cole

Julie Albright

President: Kirsten Larson

If I don't decide to run Kirsten will win just because no one else volunteered. Kirsten is nice and all but she can get sort of bossy. She says it's just because she cares about things, but I think she's just a natural leader. Maybe I should run. What do you think?

Madi is obviously not running because of the fact she's moving in only 2 weeks! I am so sad. Losing my best friend feels terrible. :-( I just wish there was something I could do to let her know that even though we won't be at the same school, we're still going to stay friends...

Bye!!! Updates on the election will be posted soon :-)
