Happy New Year's Eve, everyone! =)

My resolutions for 2009: To buy a new laptop. I'm only $82.08 away. =) (Including tax) I'd also like to earn 10 million Neopoints.

My physical growth:

• My feet are now WAY bigger than Mom's.
• My biggest shoe is a size 10 and my smallest is a size 8.
• I'm now 5'1".

What I've learned:

• Taekwondo moves
• How to spell pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
• How to distract my opponent while playing baseball in Wii Sports
• How to lose patience when using my left hand while drawing
• I'm not good at dancing
• I get really nervous when I have to sing in video games.
  
• My achievements:
• I got my yellow, green, and blue belts, in that order
• I can grab my ankle and lift my leg above my head, which is easier with my left, for some reason
• The ability to make weird noises with my mouth.
  
  That's pretty much all I can think of. xD I tag whoever's reading this. (If you're reading this, post all of your resolutions, achievements, etc.)

Update

I am now a blue belt in Taekwondo! =D Ethan's a green belt.

We got a Wii for Hanukkah! =D Ethan's addicted. xD Abby got Littlest Pet Shop, Ethan got 2 Star Wars games, and I got High School Musical 3, Senior Year: Dance! for the Wii. Abby got me earrings, and Ethan got me a Faerie Ixi plushie. (It's a Neopet)

I'm officially a teenager, as of December 7th. =)

I'm still a DJ for MNR/TMSR, and our forums have been updated; we're now The Midnight Community. =)

MNR

I am an official DJ for MNR! Go to midnightneo.com, click on Radio, and then click on Schedule to see when I'm on. I go by Sierra, of course.

By the way, MNR stands for Midnight Neo Radio. However, it will soon be changed to TwinMidnightSkies.

Can't stop hopping!

I got a Bazooka Pogo Stick from the Awana Store when I was 8. I was only about 45 lbs. then, and the minimum weight limit was 55 lbs., so my record was 4 hops off the ground. I got bored a few days ago and pulled it out of the garage. My record then became 6, and it kept rising try after try. My record is 1,504 as of yesterday. I'll be trying again soon in the garage for another record.



P.S. I am NOT going for the world record. The record is 177,737, over a span of 20 hours and 20 minutes. But if I raise my score by 2,000 bounces every day over 365 days, I will have crushed the record. But that's highly unlikely.

Update

I cleaned out my room, and re-arranged the stuff on a couple of shelves. I now have a shelf just for my trophies. (Which took a LOT of re-organization)

Allycat now calls me by name! (Sort of...She calls me Ra ra, Bear Bear, and Mommy) But we're working on Sierra. :)

I bought 9 more songs off of iTunes, which brings the total of songs on my iPod to...*Drumroll* 278 songs, which leaves me with less than 50 MB left of space. (For all of you who aren't computer savvy; not a lot of space left)

I now need to buy a new binder for my drawings, as it is totally full. (Which hasn't stopped me from drawing more pictures, though. *Ahem!*)

Mom is now making us wash our bedding once a week. :K (Ugh...) Now, for most people, that isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I'm on the top bunk, and I like to tuck all the blankets and sheets in like a package. (I don't know why; I just do. Maybe it's some psychological thing...)

Warning: Neopets related news ahead!

I've gotten 3 (!!!) new avatars in the past week or so, which makes it a total of 227 so far.

I got Bronze on Better Than You, thanks to the release of 5 new Wingoball levels.

I recently transferred a new pet over. She's a Green Kougra. Her name is YonicaBabyyeah, after one of the main characters in Hilary Duff's new movie. I plan to paint her Shadow as soon as I get the NP, and save up my real life money to buy some NC, so I can buy her a background and the Dark Princess Superpack.

*Dances*

Why am I dancing? Well, to make it easy....

I have recently gotten addicted to Neopets again, and I have pretty much gone off of Toontown.

Ethan and I started Taekwondo last month with Mr. Lee. He's very nice, and we have learned the following moves:

Ciao for now,
