I just finished a book called mare’s war (with no capitalization) by Tanita S. Davis. It is about this girl who is going on a road trip with her sister and her grandmother for the summer. On the trip her grandmother tells them about how she was in the colored woman army for America during WWII, and the girl starts to understand her grandmother soon.
It was really inspiring, and it got me thinking about my grandmother’s. On my mom’s side she is kind of mean. My father once said as he was driving me to my mom’s that all griffin women say something all nonchalant that crushes your spirit, and then does this awful laugh. I didn’t realize it then, but he is totally right. Another way my family is just so… horrible.
I love my family, but seriously, they are kind of on crack(:
However, on my other side all the women are kind of understated, but incredibly kind and understanding. They are incredibly religious and a bit close minded though… But you can’t have the perfect family. Family is chosen for you, that is why you need to be so careful in choosing your friends.
My mom makes fun of me on a regular basis on this accent she is sure that I have. I repeatedly tell her that I do not have an accent, but she says that when I get shy or something I get it. Sometimes I have a lisp or stutter more than the normal human, but it’s not like I have an actual speech impediment. But the whole accent thing got me thinking, what American words am I going to say that British people do not say?
Even though I do not live in Texas, I regularly say ya’ll. I blame Hannah Montana. I also say errbody and errday. And apparently people say milk like milk as in a mill instead of how I say it, melk. Melk just sounds more wholesome. I want a glass of melk with my cookies.
But instead of just my oddities, what else shall I say different? I say aluminum like “Al lum uh num” instead of “Al ooh min ee yum.” And yogurt as in “yo gurt” instead of “yah gurt.”
HAHA, and what about words that we have different words for? Like ketchup and tomato sauce, bonnet and hood, pants and trousers…
And what about the shows that won’t be on over there? I hope they have SNL, porque I am watching a best of SNL or something right now, with the fat blonde guy who died... Chris Farley? Him and Adam Sandler make a really good pair. And will Hannah Montana reruns be on there? They have Disney, right? Yah. Because there is a Disney land in Europe, right? Ah, so many questions.
But the most important question… Will they accept my cowboy boots that I am getting soon? I am feeling very patriotic today, which doesn’t happen often. So I am trying to embrace it. Man I want a pony.
(sorry for it being so rambley) 
These are some cupcakes me and my mommy made(:
My grandpa is making a kyak!
Tomorrow is the first day of finals… I have Spanish, Journalism and Biology. I am kind of scared for bio, but here is what I really am having anxiety for. THAT THE SENIORS WILL NOT GIVE ME A FREAKING YEARBOOK! I have asked this guy every day for like, seventy two days. He better give it to me tomorrow or I may just break and go ape shit, grab a yearbook and throw the money at his face.
