Wow, only twenty-eight days. Makes it seem like it goes so fast. It is the same amount of days in a year, and each day only goes by as fast as a day. Still, this month was fast. And it's over! How did you do? What goals did you accomplish? What will you work on next month? Make sure you write it down, or it isn't a goal, it's only a daydream, or a wish, and those don't do anything, but goals do. So make a goal, either a new one or a renewal of an old one.
It's not the end,
It's the Beginning

So...
Yesterday was really disappointing.
That snow that I was excited about...
yeah, it all melted away.
But, this morning I woke up to more snow!
Exciting, but I'm crossing my fingers in hopes that it will stay.
Anyway, here's a quote to make you smile (or cry, if that is the case):

Regrettably, pepperoni pizza has been shown to be capable of producing significant weight loss only if it is never removed from the box.

Cool
Literally.
It snowed (finally) and I hope this time it's going to stay for a while. I'm getting tired of the 'Spring' feel that I know will be disappointed. I love Spring, but in February? PLEASE give me some more snow!
Anyway, there are a lot of things that are cool, besides refrigerators, ice cream, and air conditioning. I like to think that insects are cool, and occasionally spiders. Dinosaurs are definitely on the cool list, and that leads to dragons. Cats have to be cool, but in the sleek, sophisticated way. Cool is technology that does stuff that people wouldn't imagine could be done fifty years ago(or a hundred, or two hundred).
And you are cool, too. Just for being there, being your awesome self. You are cool because, though there may be someone out there with your same opinion on one thing, and another person with the same talent, and someone else that has the same name as you, you are the only one with all those things put together. You are the only one who thinks the way you do, because no one has lived the exact same life as you. That makes you cool, because you are you.

Reading Books
I love getting lost in the story of a good fantasy book. It is so different from this world. I love being able to see the story, see the big picture, and see how it works out. It makes me want to make a story and write it down so other people can read it and be happy.

Nothing Better To Do
That is probably never true. You can always find something better to do than sitting at your computer and ranting on a blog those things that you would never say out loud. I think it is an excuse. The truth is that you have other things to do, you just don't want to do them. Blogging is either a bigger priority or it is a better option than, say, homework. And reading a blog is a little less than useless, since you aren't even thinking or typing, you're just staring at a computer screen, reading someone's useless rant about life that they would never say out loud.

Paper
Something that is one of the most useful inventions and a really awesome thing that I am eternally grateful for is paper. I love love love it! It is so useful. You can fold it into a note, or a mouse. You can write on it or draw on it. You can print a book on it or a picture. If you need to you can burn it for a fire...I bet it makes a very pretty fire. My room would explode in beautiful flames if there were even a spark (it's full of paper: origami models, books, notes, memos, plain white paper just sitting there, etc.) I think I would prefer that not to happen. Though fire is beautiful, I prefer my origami.

Blue
Sometimes people associate the color blue with being sad.
I disagree
Blue is one of those wonderful colors. You can use it to express sadness but its beauty is so brilliant I wonder sometimes how it ever began to be sad.
Blue is the color of the sky, when the sun is up there setting it on fire and the sky just reflects this wash of blue, a protection and canvas.
Blue is the color of the ocean just sitting out there, all that water full of life but from where we are it's only blue, or the lake up in the mountains that sits like a mirror, showing you the endless blue of the magnificent sky and you stare into it and get lost in eternity.
Blue is the color of a baby's eyes, or your sister's eyes, or the eyes of that boy, or the eyes of your friend, or the first thing you see when you look at someone's picture. You can get lost in those too, you know.
Blue is the color that mixes with red to make purple or with yellow to make green. It compliments orange.
Blue is one of those colors that you don't see, but you would notice if it were gone. It sits behind everything, making those bigger, important-er colors stand out, but without blue, they wouldn't be anything.

YAY
I am really happy because my plant is miraculously growing right now. There was one little part of it that, sadly, my bird chewed off. I thought it was dead but it was still green so I left it in the pot and now I got the surprise of my life to see it growing a new leaf! Yay hooray! Growing things make me so happy. :)

Spiritual Thought #3
Alma 53:20-21
We should be like the stripling warriors. We need to be valiant, courageous, strong, active, honest, true, trustworthy, sober, teachable, and righteous. We need to always remember why we are here on Earth and align our actions with that knowledge.
