Wow, that's the longest title, I've ever had.

Anyway, we saw Journey to the Center of the Earth today in 3D.  Honestly, they really could've done a better job.  It seemed to go really quick.  They could've shown the uncle and nephew at the house for a little longer about their difficulties bonding, added more acting in the center of the earth, shown more about the girl and her dad's relationship (she said something in the beginning that made it seem like she and her dad didn't get along well or something), they could've made it better and longer.  When they were escaping, I was like, "What?  That's it?  It's over???"  Oh well.  And they jacked up the prices for seeing something in 3D!!! 

I'm sure most everyone has heard about McCain picking Sarah Palin to be his VP.  I'd never even heard of her before today, but now I think I really like her!  I read up on her and learned she was the leader of some Christian athletes association when she was in high school and was the leader of prayer before their basketball games in high school.  And, she is very, very pro-life.  If McCain gets elected, I really hope she can sway him to do something about abortion!
Oh, I can't wait to see the debates!  I saw Obama being interviewed about McCain's choice of Palin, and he stumbled through his words!  Sure, he can give a good speech when he's got material and reading form a teleprompter (that's the word, right?), but when he has nothing, he's stuttering, giving long pauses, and his answers are pretty weak.  I can't wait for the debates when he has no material!  I'm really hoping McCain will get in.
Now, McCain wasn't my first pick in the beginning.  It was Huckabee.  But, I think it'd be better for McCain to be in than Obama!  And I just realized that next election (2012) will be the year I graduate and the year I vote for the next president!  If Palin runs for president, I could vote for her...?? :)

Okay, the life of a young author is hard sometimes.  When my sister or brothers are on the computer, I have to use my mom's computer, and if she's using hers, then I have to write it down on paper (but I'm not complaining about that).  When half of my story is on the computer, and the other half is on paper, that's when it gets difficult.  If I want to write more, or correct, I like to print my story that I started on the computer and use a pen.  It's so much easier.  And right now, the story I'm talking about is like ten pages long (I've only begun it, it's not finished yet).  So, I want to take the 10-page story up to my room so I can more easily put it all together, with the hand-written papers, and correct it with a pen. 
But my mom doesn't seem to get it.  In fact, no one really seems to get it.  I like having my WHOLE story with me (and right now it's ten pages), but my mom is saying that ink is too expensive right now for me to print something off.  I think what I'm going to ask for next Christmas (not this Christmas; with my dad quitting - or resigning - his job, we're trying to cut back on money...a lot) is a laptop.  Even if I'm not given the internet I would REALLY like my own computer.  If it only had word, I'd be happy.  That's all I really need.  I can use internet on this computer and do my writing on the laptop. 
And no one seems to understand!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I don't know if I'm being selfish or reasonable, though...
What's the problem with printing off ten pages???  IT'S TEN PAGES NOT A WHOLE BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I just needed to vent for a moment.  Today hasn't been the best.

Okay, I think those are my only thoughts today really.

In Christ,

I'm a writer too!

Yes, I'm excited about Palin...she's an excellent conservative. I hope and pray things work out and we get some righteous leaders in office this year. Obama is scary!

Take care and MAY GOD BLESS,
