Blah...

I have now officially decided that my life needs a huge change. I just don't know what. I'm thinking a cleaner bedroom. That's the easiest way to go. But do you have any idea how much work it would be to clean that thing? Well, let's list it all. I like lists.
-Under my bed
-Under Iman's bed
-Under the dresser
-Behind both dressers
-In the closet
-On top of the dressers
And that may seem like a little bit, but it is a lot more. Each one of those places is extremely messy. We've tried for a long time to clean them, but my mom says next week is spring cleaning, so maybe we'll get it done then. I hate spring cleaning.
Have you ever noticed how sexist men are? And not only that, but they pass it on to the younger generation. Not just the boys, but the girls too. They make the girls feel all bad about being girls. Well, here are a couple well-known facts about men:
-If you leave them alone in the house for a week with no woman around, when you get back the house will be messy, all the clothes will either be in big piles or all grey from washing them together, and the kitchen will be very, very dirty.
-They may think they're stronger, but try getting a man to lift a heavy pot of water onto the stove.
-They may be strong, but that's nothing compared to highly sensitive fingers.
-So what if you work 8 hours a day? Women work all day, 24/7 just doing normal household chores!
-They may bring in the money, but if they were left to spend it all on their own, you'd end up with a house full of computers, televisions, and DVDs
And those are just some of the reasons why women are better than men. So any girl who hates being a girl has total issues. She's not looking at the whole picture.
Boy, I'm so glad I don't live in the Middle East. Especially Saudi Arabia. I read this book a couple years ago called Princess. It's about this girl's life in Saudi Arabia. Some of the stories in that book were so horrible. I cannot believe fathers kill their own daughters just because they are getting a teeeeeeeny bit hormonal, if you know what I mean. Boy-wise. And if the boys do anything like that, not only do they not get punished, but it totally goes unnoticed. I don't know why women have to go through all that. They carry and birth the children, take care of them, why should they have to go through all this? And even though forced marriages are illegal in Islam, they still go on! What kind of Muslims are these people?!
Women can take such a more active role here. With a lot of things. They even work out of the house now. Not so long ago, that was almost unheard of! And men say they're better. As IF!
Now that I've got that little rant over, what else should I talk about? You know what? I think I'll talk about crafting. I love crafting. There are all these different things you can make, and even though men wouldn't regard it as a sport, it kind of is. Sure, you're not sweating your skin off, but who says crafting isn't a sport? You're moving your hands all over the place, and making beautiful works of art. It's a sport all right, and it can get you a lot of money.
I like beading and cross stitching. Especially bead looms. They're fun, easy, and after you learn how to warp the loom it is not hard at all to figure out the rest.
Time to wrap up. I think this no picture thing is going quite well, don't you?
Now for a message to my daddy:
I WANT THE LORD OF THE RINGS EXTENDED EDITION!!! ALL THREE MOVIES!!!
Bye!!

Crayons...

This is a box of crayons. Yes, crayons. But I think a lot of people can see that. There are a whole bunch of crayons in there. Collected and piled up for years and years. And it's not just crayons, either. It's got pencils, scissors, markers, colored pencils, sharpeners, almost anything you can think of that you can use to draw. There's probably scraps of paper in there too.
Now, just to make this post longer, I shall describe each item in detail.
Crayons are round chunks of wax that are colored. They are used to fill in the lines of a drawing. The most popular brand of crayons in this family is Crayola.
Pencils are round, tall chunks of wood with harmless lead in them. They used to have harmful lead in them, but I think all the deaths made them stop doing that. Pencils are mainly used to write words or draw pictures. If you do it right, you can also fill in a drawing and make it look shiny. Most pencils require sharpening, but mechanical pencils are plastic and have removable sticks of lead. You normally push the eraser in and the lead starts coming out.
Colored pencils are, well, pencils with colored lead. Useful when you don't really have any crayons, or you don't want the waxy feeling on your paper. These also require sharpening.
Markers are plastic tubes with colored ink in them. Just put the tip on a piece of paper, and out comes the ink. The problem with markers is that the ink seeps through to the other side of the paper, sometimes getting on other surfaces, but luckily, most markers have washable ink.
Scissors are used to slice and cut pretty much anything bendable and flat. But mostly paper. They can also be used by little kids to cut up clothes, which my sister did once, and she got in big trouble for it, too. We are always trying to think up ways to invent scissors that cut a perfect circle, but none of them will ever work.
Paper is the white thing made from trees that is used in almost every craft project. Sometimes it is colored. That is called construction paper. Paper can be cut, torn, drawn on, written on, you can basically do almost anything with it, including making paper hats. Most paper is rectangular in shape, but you can cut it into a square, or whatever you want it to be.
So that is my description of everything in that box known as "The Crayon Box" for years and years. Every now and then it spills, and you can guess what happens then, but usually it is very useful when you are looking for a certain shade of a color, because I'll bet you that there is at least one of every single darn color in that box. You just have to look hard enough.
You may think it is impossible to lose a box, but think again. We've lost this box many, many times, mostly because people bring it places like the kitchen table and don't put it back, instead putting it under the library shelf and leaving it there. Or under the bed. And so on.
Time to go. I think this is long enough, don't you? Maybe you're getting a bit tired of reading it. So, ta-ta for now!!
