There Is A Reason It's Called " Dodge" Ball

As the title said, there is a reason it's called dodge ball.  The name is basically daring you to get hit in the face. I'm like a hundred percent sure it's forcing us all to get ourselves knocked out.
Anyone with me?

I guess you're confused about this whole thing, am I right? Because basically all I'm talking about is dodge balls knocking us out.  Okay, so get this. I did a dodge ball tournament with my youth group against other youth groups. It was like, EPIC! Until I got hit in the face that is.
So you see, I was minding my business, being brave, hiding behind all the tall people, when I was suddenly on the ground. Yeah, my eye is still red. That was less EPIC. LOL.
Do you have any horrible dodge ball stories?  Have you ever gotten hit in the face?  Leave an answer in the comments down below. (:

Did you read that I was hiding behind all the tall people? It was so not fair! Those youth group kids were like giants! And here I am, a little person, hiding among them. I literally got lost in the crowd of tall people. Is that embarrassing? I feel like that's embarrassing. My youth group lost very badly.  It  didn't help that these tall people had been training in advance for three months. They were REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY good, and I'm not being dramatic. I'm being literal for once in my life. (:

After the tournament we had pancakes. I love pancakes, do you? There was whipped cream and chocolate chips, and it was like heaven.
I just wish there was ICE CREAM!

So yeah, that was my day. It was intense and epic...and painful.  LOL.

Day at the Lake

Have you ever had one of those moments where you're pretty sure you're about to die and you start writing out your will? Has that ever happened to you?
Because it has happened to me...on multiple occasions.  Although, we're only talking about one in particular. My day at the lake.

Okay, so probably you're thinking, " Oh my gosh! Did she almost drown?" But don't worry.  Nothing that drastic.  Have you ever tried tubing? You connect a big float to a jet ski, and fly across the water.
Trust me. IT'S REALLY FUN. But some parts, you fly off of it, and that's what I'm talking about.

My sister and cousin and I all yelled a good bit.
The things we screamed were funny, though. I screamed my will, and stuff like,  "AHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO SEE AVENGERS ENDGAME NOW!" Or, " EVA! MOVE YOUR HAND! I NEED TO HOLD ON!"
Of course, we were sharing a handle, so if she let go then she would fall. Heh...oops.


Later, we went on a float together, and sang songs from musicals. Then they went again, and sang 80's songs. Which I thought was really funny.
Afterwards we got pizza, and that was really good. I think it was a pretty fun.

So, I guess I didn't really almost die, but it sure felt like it when I was on the tube.
I think I might be a little dramatic, anyone else think so?

A Play About SUPERHEROS

Okay, so get this, my sister and Eva were in a play together about superheros.
It was a funny play, because it was about superheros going to a therapist because of identity crisis.
A musical you ask? Yes, it was. The class wrote the script, and then borrowed songs from other musicals that fit their characters. It was super cool.

That day started me with me almost falling out of bed! Random, I know. But that doesn't mean it didn't happen. I didn't, thankfully, but it did remind me to always live life to the fullest.
When I got up, I ate a hearty breakfast ( because I was living life)! Okay, it was actually just a bowl of cereal, but...same difference.

And when Sage left early for the play, I was able to stay home and be on my computer all day.
A couple of hours later, I realized the the time.
We had to leave very soon.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Luckily, I can get ready in seven minutes if I want too, so it was pretty easy. I couldn't find anything to eat but some mashed potatoes, but my family had already attacked them, so they were pretty much gone. Dad decided to get me a hamburger, and I was all like, yes. 

Eva slept over with us for two nights after the play. On the first day, we went to see Aladdin, and that was pretty good. Then we went to my grandparents and played Apples to Apples. Fun, am I right?
I am right!  We also had strawberry short cake...
Oh boy...dang it! Now I want cake! LOL.

So, yeah, I think that was worth telling you! All in all, I think it was a pretty great time!

Supercallifragilisticsleepover

Sleepovers are fun, right? Especially when they're with your favorite cousin.
Eva and I hang out a lot, and so when she invited me over for a sleepover, I said yes.
We went to the pool that day, and swam some. The pool was having a pool party, and were serving food, so Eva and I had some of that. We each had two  hot dogs, two ice creams, two bags of chips, and a root beer. My excuse for eating so much? I'm a growing girl.

Eva and I like to make movies, and we still remember our best one. It was about a giant cotton candy, ( don't ask.) and we loved it so much. We even made Cotton Candy 2.
One day, Eva had a thought, maybe we should make Cotton Candy: The Musical. So I was like,
 "UM...YEAH!"
I played the therapist and the cotton candy (again, don't ask). She played the patient, and another therapist. It was pure genius. #COTTONCANDY!

For dinner, we had Chinese, and that was heavenly. I think I ate pretty good that day. (:
Eva and I like to play video games, so we played a lot of Minecraft.
It was survival, and we played on hard. I had a cute little campsite near the water, so I grew kelp, crops, and had pet turtles. My house was a cute tree house, and I was safe and sound.
Eva, on the other hand, built her house in a really dark forest, where monsters spawned at every corner. She liked to sleep at my house, because apparently it was I quote, ''safer''
I had a pet wolf named Amy, who just hung around my house, and a zombie who hid under a tree named Farley. He was clad in golden armor, so I steered clear of him.
Anyways, it was really fun, we play together a lot.

All in all, we had a great time!

My Mother's Day Conundrum

So, are you ready for a story? A really sad-turned-funny one? You sure?

The one good thing about being sick, is that you get to watch a lot of TV.
The bad things? There is a whole list of them. So you see, I had a fever, it broke, but I'm still feeling the symptoms. It all started on sunday, when I was watching children at my church.
I started to feel cold, and then got a headache, then I became light headed. At first, I thought it was because of the heat, so I didn't take care of it. Then, it turned into a stomach ache, and I knew I had to sit down. but I couldn't because I was in the middle of a lot of kids screaming. I pushed back the horrible feelings.

As my class ended, I helped clean up, and then went to get some water. My friend came up to me, and was all like, " Aliyah? Are you ok?"
I answered, " yeah, I'm just a little lightheaded."
" Oh..well that's not good."
I had just smiled at her, "It's fine. I'll live."
Afterward, I went to Eva's and we ate. Then we went up to her room and began to chat, I started to feel cold and tired. I pushed it back though, not wanting to ruin our time. But, as my teeth started chattering, I realized that I wasn't ok. I told her, and she understood. So, we just took it easy the rest of the time.

When it was time for me to go to bed, I was up until 7:00 am, hallucinating.
Do you know what I was hallucinating about?
A jungle. My main characters were traveling through the jungle, trying to stop the villain, Petunia Dreamer, and save the world. I was their helper/hacker, who stayed at their base and told them what to do, and how to do them. Sounds like an average dream, right? WRONG!(:
Some part of me was really into the hallucination, because it was 5:00 am, and I wouldn't let myself get water, because I had a job to do. Then I found that my feet wouldn't work, so I gave myself a made-up disease called No-Move (Original, am I right?) Of course, I was just hallucinating that my feet wouldn't work, in reality, they worked fine. I was just delusional.
I was finally able to go to sleep. at 7:00 am, and sleep until eleven.(: Go me!

I knew I was finally getting better when I chased my family around the house, holding a plate of eggos, and shouting " WHO WANT'S FREEZER-BURNED EGGOS!"
Is it bad that they smelled like chocolate?
Ew...Just grossed myself out.

Anyways, that was my fever, sound like fun? I mean sure, the hallucinations are kind of funny when you think of them, but I was really tired. Do you want to know something weird?
Eva had a fever last week, and wanted green grapes, and I had a fever, and wanted them to.
Do fevers make you want green grapes. Weird...

Hope you guys like this blog, I'll be back with more soon.

Jeweler for a Day

Ok, so I did this thing with my mom where I helped her sell some of her friend's jewelry at a show.
All day. Just let that sink in...

My job was writing down the prices of the things that sold, cutting off the price tags, and putting them in cute little bags. It was actually kind of confusing, but I think I did pretty well. I'm getting paid too, so that's pretty sweet. And I got some quality time with my mom. (;

Now, on a different topic, are you ready for a story? One so suspenseful that you should consider not reading the rest of this blog?
Are you sure you want to keep going?
Wow, goodness gracious  you're brave.
Ok, so get this, mom said I could go look around at the booths for a little break while she did the jewelry, and because I had been working for hours, I  said yes.
Not knowing the great dangers that would behold me......... ( Ok, so that ellipsis was monumentally long, let's just say I did it for more suspense........................)
The booths were neat, but I went straight to the jewelry ones. I LOVE SHINY THINGS!
I took their cards, just to be nice...though I wasn't actually going to buy anything.
( You in suspense yet? Don't worry, you will be.)
So, because of my love of shiny objects, I asked a lot of questions about the jewels.
Not knowing that I was leading them on. I even asked the price like I really wanted to know!
I bet when I walked away they were like, "Ugh...little girls and their glittery thingies these days."
It would be a lie to say that I didn't try on a few pieces...

After my mom and I were finished, we packed up our things and made our way to the car.
We were dead, not actually graveyard dead, but dead as in tired. Usually I'm this cheery person who loves shiny things, but then I was like, "get that glitter out of my face!"

We went out to eat, and got some Chinese, and that was pretty good.  My only question is, does anyone know the difference between Lo-mein and Chow-mein?
Tell me the answer in comments if you do.

Well, that was my day. Hope you enjoyed this blog!
#Chow/Lo-mein!

This is our booth at the event 

Mom and I posing in front of our jewelry

Me being goofy

I just think this photo is cool. 

There was a bunch of streamers that I just
had to pose in front of. LOL. 

The Battle Cry Of Evil Smee

Hello! Did you like my last blog? Various Photos Of Mine Part 3? Because if you did, then you'll definitely  like this one!(:

Okay, so get this, I just had a sleepover with my cousin. Fun, am I right? #Whoohoo!
The first activity on the agenda was a pedicure...I HATE PEOPLE TOUCHING MY TOES! And she had all that weird equipment, like tiny little scissors!
WHAT THE HECK ARE THOSE FOR!? CUTTING MY TOENAILS???? I THOUGHT THAT WAS WHAT TOENAIL CLIPPERS WERE!?????
 No literally, those were my actual thoughts. She didn't end up using the scissors on me, thank goodness! But she did have these weird things for cleaning out my toenails. (Which weren't actually very dirty.)  Sorry, T.M.I  Let me tell you something though, they tickled! Oh boy they tickled!
I had squirmed in protest, but she had grabbed my foot and held it in place. ACK!

We also rode our bikes to the park, and sat atop a big rock, eating chips. Salt and Vinegar to be exact.
There was no one at the park, so we were free to be as weird as possible. There was a nostalgic playhouse that we used to go into, so we went in just to be awesome! She played with the wheel that was attached to it, claiming she was Captain Hook. And because I had the white and blue shirt, I had to be Smee.  BO-RING! I decided to spruce Smee up a bit. Don't get me wrong, I still talked in an awesome Smee-ish voice...but I kind of "Gollumized" it. Here meaning I talked more like Gollum
 (The Lord Of The Rings) then Smee. I WAS EVIL SMEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Captain Hook ( Eva) kicked me off the ship to the sharks, and since I was evil Smee, I put the sharks back on her. By shouting my battle cry, "I AM SMEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!"
Imagine that...but with a Gollum voice.
Just let it sink in...
Yeah, I became captain of the ship pretty quick. Then my cousin decided we would both be Smee, and became one as well. Then we renamed the ship, "The Jolly Smee."  Or...at least I did.  She didn't like it.
#Doublesmee

On a different subject, Eva and her family do this thing where they babysit for a friend.  The baby is so cute!  When she was over, we went to Chic-Fil-A and got ice cream, then followed her through the play place.
Yeah... it smelled like feet. But hey, at least I got ice cream!
