I currently feel like crap. An elephant, or something is caught up in my sinuses making me extremely congested. My nose is constantly running, making me have to CONSTANTLY blow my nose. I sneezed more time than I can count today. My school load is ENORMOUS, I have so much to do. All I want to do is sleep but I don't have the time since I am so stressed. I missed two days of school last week and I have important stuff (making chocolate cake, math quiz, learning new things in math, APUSH test etc) the rest of this weekend so I don't think I can miss another day. I am in a horrible mood and have been extremely emotional for some reason, almost always on the verge of tears. This term needs to be over.
Okay, now I have vented. The next step is to build a bridge and get over it.

BIRTHDAY PARTAYY! :)
On March 18, 1929 Herbert Fantle came into the world. Which means today he celebrated his 82th birthday. To honor this day my parents, little brother and myself went over to his and my grandma's house. My grandma made us a wonderful dinner of corn-beef as a nod to St. Patrick's Day which was yesterday.
I really enjoyed spending this quality time with my grandparents. My grandpa is a very unique man with and interesting past, he was born an only child in Austria. He and his family were forced to move out of the country because they were Jewish and they would have been killed by the Nazis if they stayed. My great-grandpa actually spend some time in a concentration camp so the danger was real. Because of the Holocaust, which killed off a lot of him family, my grandpa doesn't have many living relatives. He only has a few left and they are all very distant. His family eventually ended up in America. While he met and married Betty Waller and had two baby boys, one of which is now my father.
I used to always think my grandpa was a grumpy old man. My grandpa barely ever smiles. He also has a interesting sense of humor that I am just beginning to understand. I now think my grandpa is hysterical, in the most bizarre way but funny none the less ;). He can always make me chuckle and spending time with him gives me time to try out some of my own jokes. I hope I can celebrate many more birthdays with my grandpa Herb because I love him a lot. <3

Best Friends FOREVER?
The other day someone asked me "Who is your best friend?" This caught me off guard for a couple reasons. (1) It was out of the blue, I wasn't prepared for the question and (2) I wasn't 100% sure how to answer. Don't get me wrong, I have friends. But I don't have ONE BEST friend, at the moment. I have several best friends. Another thing that complicated my answer is I have different groups of friends and I have different best friends from each of them. I have school best friends, best friends from religious school/ my synagogue's youth group, NFTY best friends (which is a North American Jewish youth group) and etc. There isn't one person that I am closest too, my friendship is different with all of them.
You might be wondering how I answered the question. The person shortly after rephrased it to include people I hang out with giving me more time to wrap my mind around the question. I ended up saying around 5 of my best friends from school. Though it was such a simple question it has really got me thinking about who my best friends really are. And how times have changed...

Mind Reader
Edward Cullen has always fascinated me. Not in the way he fascinates some girls. Personally the whole "I don't need to wash my hair" thing is a big turn off. The fact that he can read minds makes me envy him. I wish I knew what other people are thinking. Sometimes it is just so hard to understand what goes on in people's head. But I would NEVER want someone to be able to read my mind! It is such an invasion of privacy. My private thoughts should stay MY PRIVATE thoughts! Basically moral of the story I am a hypocrite. I want to read other peoples minds but if anyone ever read my mind I would NOT be okay with that. The best compromise is to have no one able to read minds. Lets leave supernatural powers for books and movies. :)
