I've been on vacation in South Carolina for the past couple of days, hanging around Myrtle Beach. Which is why I haven't posted for a couple of days. I haven't really had a chance to get on the internet un til now. Our hotel room has a scenic view of the roof and a bunch of big air-conditioners. :) But it has been a pretty fun so far.

Recently we went to Ripley's Aquarium. One of the coolest features in my opinion is the tanks for most of the fish in the main part of the aquarium. You walk through a sort of tunnel and the tank is all around you, so you're able to see the undersides of the sharks and fish as they swim over you. Also, I got to pet a sting ray! :D

By the way, if you'd like to see more pictures my sister has a bunch of them soon to be posted on her deviant art account. (username Sarcastic-Ninja)

In Twilight news, Stephenie Meyer is posting a quote a day from Breaking Dawn on the days leading up to its August 2nd release on her website.

One of my favorite Lolcats:

Almost home...

I'm almost back from Florida. It was actually a pretty fun trip. Well, at least better than other previous year's trips.





Live Earth is tomorrow...wish I could go. Maybe I can watch some clips from it online.

Daytona Beach Pictures

Here's some pictures I took with my cell phone while staying at Daytona Beach.

So I'm in Florida again. The car trip actually wasn't that bad.
Right now I'm at Daytona Beach.


I'm so happy for my friend Eric right now. He submitted a poem to a contest and its been nominated to win. If he does he'll get 20,000 dollars. Even if his poem doesn't win it'll be published in a book with other entries. Here's the poem:

Love

From the derision of my bliss,
Crawls the most twisted beast,
Born of joy and hate
It's eyes glow dimly with the words
Slipped from my tonuge
At the pure site of your grace
So I send you the beast
Your acceptence of it is all that matters
So I wait
With hours, minutes and seconds stammering around me
The words you speak, shatter my heart
Like stone to glass
It breaks down
And with the devil in your words
The beast comes crawling back,
Chains to my heart
It leaves its weight of gall on it
Pulling me down to
My once agile bliss
And for now, I burn in its flames

Summer has been pretty boring so far. Admittedly, I'm only 3 days into my summer vacation, but still I expected something more. This might all change in the past couple of days or so, as I'll be driving down to Florida with my family. 24 hours in a car with my parents and sister. *shudder* So instead of just boring it will change to hectic, annoying, uncomfortable AND boring. Oh joy.

Wow...I just logged on to blogger today and realized...this blog is now over a year old.

That's right folks. Alannah's blog: blogging to you about nothing for over a year now.

And in other, probably more important(at least to me), news...

My 14th birthday is this Saturday! And with it, the last three days of school are fast approaching. And once again the joyous state of existence known as summer vacation shall start.
Of course, summer vacation is a bit tainted now, because I've gotten my Honors language arts summer reading packet. Now its not the reading that bothers me, since as most of you know, I'm an enormous nerd who actually *insert gasp here* reads over summer vacation. (Plus, and extremely luckily, the book we have to read is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. probably one of the most beautifully written, sad yet still hopeful, and all around great books I've ever read.)
Alas, its the enormous amount of work we are forced to do that depresses me.

At least I've got tomorrow's Dorney Park trip to cheer me up. Why am I going to so many amusement parks as school trips? No one really knows...but hey, I get out of school. I'll post some more pictures too.

And finally, check out my friend Joey's new blog.
Warning: It may bore you to death...(joking...it will only put you to sleep, not death) :D
