I haven't posted in more than a month, but hey, who cares? It's not as if anyone even reads it, I think. Well, I only got one comment so far and I know I maybe should put up a Cbox but am still wondering whether or not to do so. I won't stoop down to begging other people on other blogs to read my blog, because I would hate other people advertising on my blog. Sigh... Well, here's the thing: I don't really have anything to post about. I went skiing....and swimming in the hotel's pool....and I also drank hot chocolate. What else? Uh....I worked on my science project...which is "How much DNA can fit inside a cell?" If I think of something, I'll try and post it. Otherwise, see you, and please check out my complete profile to see my other blogs.
Question of the Day: When doing a science project proposal, my teacher said, "This is a great example of a sixth-grade-level project." How do people measure what grade a science project is?

Rubix Cubes and Football
Who here can solve a Rubix cube? Sigh I've been working on solving one alll morning and, actually, it's not too too bad. I mean, I can solve one side, no problemo. It's continuing that's hard. SO FRUSTRATING!!!! Well, that's all. I'm passing the time with Rubix cubes since I am too too too lazy to do anything like flute or alto sax or something.
Well in my defense I practiced alto sax for nearly 2 hours yesterday!!!!!! And flute, one hour.
Football. Superbowl (Super Bowl? Hmmm...) is close....right????? I think.
The teams left, I think, are New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, San Francisco Forty-Niners, and New York Giants. (Hey, that's what kind of knowledge you get with a football-crazed dad, brother, and cousin that's staying for the weekend!) As I type this they are sitting on the couch, watching TV with no idea that I am blogging about them HAHA!!!! So right now is Patriots vs. Ravens. I really don't have a favorite team. I don't care. I'm just thinking, like, isn't New England a couple of states? Thought these teams were city teams...
Well the next game after this one is Forty-Niners vs. Giants. Again I really don't care. My brother/dad/cousin are all Forty-Niner fans-the team is relatively local. I am not sure if I told this at any time but I live in the Pacific Time Zone. So yeah. I don't care but forty-niners are the miners that came to California for the Gold Rush, most coming in 1849, thus they were called forty-niners. Actually that Sam or whatever his name was divulged the "Gold! Gold in the ____ River!" (I forgot the name of the river) information in 1848 but it took a long time for the info to travel. So I guess I'm interested in the forty-niners but more because of the gold rush fact than the local team thing.
Question of the Day: Is peanut butter a solid or a liquid? (I mean, we can rule out gas!)

Initiation
Initiation is the thirteenth book in the (on the?) AMAZING Canterwood Crest series written by author Jessica Burkhart, and AMAZING author. I commented on her post, but I only posted what I liked. Here is the "what I liked" part of my Initiation review, if anyone's interested.
It took me two hours, 49 minutes, and twenty-three seconds to read Initiation. (Stopwatch.)
What I liked about Initiation was the drama about Lauren's secret, and the very vivid descriptions of all the characters' clothes, appearance, and personality. Lauren seems like a sweet person. I enjoyed reading about how Lauren tackled the workload at Canterwood while still having enough time to bond with Khloe, Lexa, Jill, Clare, and Riley. I won't say anything about all the girls' personalities, but please read my blog post about it.
And now, my aforementioned blog post about Initiation.
I don't like Lauren Towers.
At all.
Weeeellllll, maybe a little bit. For example, we both LOVELOVELOVELOVE tea (part of the reason why I made my name Chamomile for the blog....) and my fave color is sky blue too. (Rhyme not intended.) But I LOVED Sasha. I nearly cried when she wouldn't be the narrator anymore. I told myself that Lauren would be just as awesome.
She wasn't.
She has a mean streak. And an attitude. I don't know if anyone agrees with me-only one of my friends does-but Lauren is definitely MEAN, in my book.
It started with Chosen, the super special book that announced the arrival of Lauren Towers.
She was SUCH a snob towards Charlotte. I was actually SO mad at Lauren (and so obsessed with Canterwood Crest) that I wrote SEVEN fan fictions on Chosen. SEVEN. That's a LOT. Because I was really THAT mad at Lauren, an imaginary character! Which, yeah, does indicate the Jessica Burkhart (Ms. Burkhart?) is a very talented writer.
And Lauren was REALLY mean to Riley. Yeah, Riley wasn't very nice either. But Lauren was just so...unfair.
Again, I loved the drama, the descriptions, and the cliffhanger at the end was SO interesting and I am literally counting the days till Popular comes out.
In the end, love the book, LOVELOVE the book, actually, and don't like the narrator. I won't say I hate Lauren, because I don't. I don't dislike her so bad. I agree with her on some things-like the fact that it was ENTIRELY her fault that Riley had to tell the girls at the sleepover about Toby. I agree that Riley was not supposed to be int he skybox during her audition, but SHE was watching Riley's audition, so who is Lauren to talk?
I don't like Lauren, but my friends love her.
It's a good book, whether you like Lauren or not.
I really suggest you read it.
Initiation by Jessica Burkhart.
The post was for a contest that authorJessica Burkhart (Ms. Burkhart? I don't know!) is running.

Question of the Day: I've asked it twice already. I don't know author Jessica Burkhart, so I only felt comfortable slapping an "author" in front of her name. What is the proper way to address her?

New Year's Eve
People stay up later on New Year's Eve than New Year's, in my perspective. Anyway I'm going to my cousin's house tongiht. What are your New Year's plans? Only one day till the new year. Anybody have any New Year's Resolutions? Here are a few of mine:
1. No A-minus, on A or A-plus
2. Work really hard at school
3. Work really hard at ballet
4. Watch only one hour of television a week.
5. Eat more vegetables.
There are five. How many of them I will actually fulfill, I do not know. I mean, I already eat a reasonable amount of vegetables, I think. Every day. As for television, I don't watch any programs like Nickelodeon or Disney Channel or Cartoon Network, I like to watch game shows. Like Jeopardy, You Deserve It, and so on. I'm trying to cut back. I already work really hard at ballet. And same with school. Oh well, I could work harder. Much harder.
Question of the Day: Do you take the trouble to put up a Christmas tree and yard lights? Why or why not?

Sorry and hello
Sorry, yesterday I went to Monterey Bay. First I had to drive a half hour to pick up my cousin and spend 15 minutes there loading the bike rack. Then a one and a half hour drive to Monterey, and then we biked from Fisherman's Wharf to Lover's Point and back. Then lunch at Fisherman's Wharf. I would have loved clam chowder in a bread bowl, but I'm lactose intolerant so I enjoyed some fish and chips (chips meaning french fries, which I didn't eat much of because they contain acrylamide which causes cancer. Eek.) for lunch. After lunch (which, BTW, was at like three thirty) we reloaded the bike rack and drove one and a half hours to my cousin's house, dropped him off, and drove forty five minutes to a restaurant to have dinner. By the time I got home, it was time for a card game. My parents meet up with four others to play a Chinese card game, and we play at this house where there's a girl in my grade, she's my good friend, and we stayed until two AM. So....sorry.
My apology was so long that I think it accounts for my post.
Yesterday's Question of the Day: Why do some people go to pizza restaurants only to buy salad? Like California's Pizza Kitchen, for instance. It's a PIZZA KITCHEN, not California's Salad Bar! Might as well go to a real salad, bar, they'd have more choices and better quality.
Question of the Day: If a coupon has no expiration date and you dig it up a year after you got it, is it still valid? Why or why not?

Christmas Gifts
I totally forgot to tell you about my Christmas gifts. And as I have nothing else to post about today, I will tell you about them.
OMG I GOT 175 BUCKS IN BARNES AND NOBLE GIFT CARDS!!!!!!!
Here's how: every time someone asked what I wanted, I said, "Barnes & Noble gift card." So I got 50 from my aunt and uncle, 50 from my other aunt and uncle, 25 from my grandparents, 25 from a family friend, and 25 from another family friend. From one family friend, I received an awesome jeweled bookmark and a really pretty necklace. From my parents, a Kindle Fire EEEEEKKKKK!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They also gave me a Sherpa lined traveling vine hoodie from Eddie Bauer. They ordered it in extra small petite, yet it is still big.
Question of the Day: Where is considered the Bay Area and why?

Obviously...
NO Internet. Or wi-fi. Well, it wasn't cheap. So...yeah. Well, I hope you had a Merry Christmas, all!!!!!!! And if you have read the Kane Chronicles, you will know about the Demon Days. They start today!!!! Happy Holidays, all. Becasue Kwanzaa, I believe, is still going on, and I'm (ha-ha) starting a countdown to the New Year. Check back tomorrow!
Question of the Day: Anyone have a blackout the morning of December 23rd? I know, not a really good question. I woke up that morning at 4:26 AM to go skiing-have to drive 4+ hours. I turned on the light and was waking my brother and cousin (they sleep in so they slept in my room so I could wake them up haha) and then the light turned off randomly. On my way to tell my parents, who were supposed to be up but not up (haha again), I walked straight into a wall, entered the bathroom twice, bumped into my mom's dresser, and tripped over a backpack before getting to them. The blackout was only in a small area, thank goodness. There were barely any cars, so it was okay that traffic lights were off. If you had a blackout, maybe you live near me!
