Class blogger
So... I'm watching the new "Harriet the Spy" movie, which is basically about teenagers fighting over who gets to be class blogger. Schools have class bloggers now? And the students actually care? The teen blogger is cool? I think we've officially entered the 21st century. At least that's what I said when I tweeted about this. Being the only person in my class (unless you count my college algebra class, which doesn't have a blog), I'm now declaring myself official class blogger!
My life? :O
It's true, I have a life. And I'm going to tell you all about it.
Specifically, I'm going to tell you the following things:
1. I'm active on Goodreads again!
2. I'm active on Helium again. Helium is the coolest writing website in the world. You can write an article about pretty much anything (and if the subject you wish to write about is not on Helium you can request that it be added), rate other people's writing, and get money! There are writing contests, a marketplace where you can do freelance writing, and a section for creative writing (where you don't get paid to write, but you do get nifty badges and stars). I've made $7.88 so far, and I think that practicing my writing skills (especially to help me write better scholarship essays...) and getting paid (however little) is great. Oh, and if you want to join Helium and write too, please tell me before you sign up! Tell me your first and last names (if I don't know them already, which is unlikely...) and email address and I'll send you an invitation, because I get 5% of whatever you make if I refer you!
3. I'm going to college. I'm not sure which, but I'm hoping to go to either Andrews University or Southern Adventist University.
4. I'm sick today! \:D/
5. I'm going to be blogging a lot more. Because I love my faithful readers. :D

I'm an uber space nerd!
I just took this cool test that revealed that I'm an uber space nerd. I guess because I know what a neutrino is.
Speaking of art...
Here is a little art based on word usage in my blog:
Apparently "correct" is a favorite subject of mine. Who knew? And I don't even remember mentioning Italy.

The American Art Museum
Yes, I know, it's been a while. You can call off the search party now. :)
Anyway, the first place we went in Washington was the American Art Museum, home of... really good paintings. Of course, I wanted to spend the most time in the contemporary art section (obviously that didn't have anything to do with the fact that my parents think that most contemporary art is silly). I think I have never said "Philistine" more times in a ten-minute span than in that section. ;-)
But first, before we went there, we looked at many, many other paintings. I was going to bring some home, but apparently they don't let visitors take them out of the building (unless that's just some cruel trick they play on out-of-towners).
You can see some of the art on my mom's blog at http://thenatureofthings2010.blogspot.com/2010/01/american-art-museum.html. Be sure to keep an eye out for any mention of Elvis (because, you know, Elvis is the most culturally important figure that ever lived in Tennessee).
