It's beginning to look a lot like christmas

Actually, it isn't. With only a week to go,  still don't feel like it's the Christmas season. All of our decorations are out, our tree is up, I have presents for (almost) everyone....why do I feel like this? The answer is simple. We don't have any snow. We will have a GREEN Christmas. Considering the fact that I was born in a town where we had many snow days, this is a major disappointment. You'd think that Rochester, where I live now, would have a lot of lake effect snow. But no, we don't. Okay, we had a sprinkling a week ago, but that melted before I got home from school. Snow defines Christmas for me, and the fact we don't have any just makes me sad. I would never last in Hawai'i.

Won't anyone buy some?

Last night, my friend Meaghan and I sold Girl Scout cookies at a booth sale outside the Hess station down in Bushenell's Basin. It was freezing cold, but we kept warm by doing squats and jumping jacks. We were there for 3 whole hours, but very few people bought cookies. Most of the time, they would just look at us and continue walking, and not say anything. They were really rude. I mean, why  couldn't they just say "no thanks"? To pass the time, I made up a song to get people to buy from us. You can hear it here. It is a parody of "Who will buy" from the musical Oliver!. I love that musical. So good, and the movie is awesome. I tried to read the book, but I got 3/4 of the way done and couldn't finish it; it was so difficult to read. Anyways, if you see a girl scout trying to sell cookies, buy them!

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you gave thanks for all the blessings you have. My most memorable Thanksgiving was last year's. We went to my aunt's house in New Hampshire. Me and my cousins were watching the parade in the family room, while the above 30 adults were helping to cook dinner. I decided to head into the kitchen to get some more nuts, when I noticed a weird smell. All of a sudden, my aunt shrieks, "The turkey's on fire!" She took it out, and sure enough, flames licked the edges of the bird. The entire house was filled with smoke, so we went outside in the freezing cold and waited. One of my adult cousins was from L.A. He and his girlfriend had just flown in and she was still sleeping upstairs. So my cousin sprints up the stairs to get her, and brings her outside. What a way to wake up! Amazingly, the turkey was the best I ever tasted. What was your favorite or most memorable Thanksgiving day? Comment below.

Welcome to the crowd

This is obviously my first post. I post on an irregular basis. Sometimes there will be 2 from the same day. Sometimes there will be no new entries for a month. That's just part of the blog.
This blog will be a place where I will post all my feelings about anything in the world. Ask me to rant about something, and I'll do it. There will also be short stories, poems, videos and picture about things  I find interesting. Hoepfully you will to. Also, please try ignore the mispellings. I can't spell worth beans, so just read past them.
The title is because we are all just a voice in the crowd, and you can't hear it unless you either get everyone chanting the same thing, or you find a really powerful microphone. Or both.
