Ahhh, Puerto Rico. So warm... And tropical... And bright... Am I making those of you who live in freezing New York jealous? Sadly, I have to go back there tomorrow. Sigh. Well at least I got to go to El Yunque rainforest! Sooo beautiful. I climbed partway up Coco Falls, but my parents wouldn't let me get to the top. (crazy people, afraid of falling boulders and flash floods. Obviously I'm the careful one here.)
Flowers flowers hummingbirds greenness ocean ocean yay!

Peeled (by Joan Bauer)

I am currently reading Peeled... great book! I recommend it to anyone who likes a fun mystery. It's about a girl, Hildy, who is a reporter for her school's newspaper. She is investigating the local Ludlow house, where there is said to be a murderous ghost lurking... I'm almost done but I won't spoil the ending for you!

Literary Club

Just had a meeting of the Literary Magazine Club. I looooove it! A group of people get together after school and share artwork or writing. Lots of drawings were made there, including this one.

Guitar boredom

2 snow days in a row here, so I've been extremely bored. I played Knockin' on Heaven's Door about 1 million times, and finally got tired of that. So, I decided to make up a little verse and chorusy-like thing. Chords are: C for 4 beats, G for 4 beats (4 b), C 4 b, D 4 b, A 4 b, Em 4 b, A 4 b, Em 4 b, then repeat however many times your boredom forces you to. Try this little doodle of a song on your guitars and give me feedback!
About my blog: I blog about everything in my life (hence the title). This includes books, music, fashion, art, baking, and just plain life.

My likes:
Music, especially alternative. Florence + the Machine is my favorite band. Taylor Swift is my favorite singer. I play the viola, piano, and a little guitar.
Reading. I read every kind of book, but fantasy is my favorite. Rick Riordan's books are my favorites, and Harry Potter is great, too.
Drawing, mostly animals and clothes. I don't usually color in my work, pencil is the best.
Baking by myself or with my best friend Madi. Pies are my favorite thing to bake (and eat!).
Tennis, softball, and fencing.
Writing poetry and songs.

More later!!
