I'm really exicted that I finally have a Facebook page! All my friends have one, and so I decided it may be fun to have one too. And boy, was I right! It's a lot of fun to visit your friends pages, chat with friends, look at their pictures, make your own, and so on. I also like it because it's very safe. Unlike MySpace, only people you invite can look at your page. So far, I have 50 friends (that's actually not a lot)! I love Facebook!
I also learned how to upload videos onto Youtube! Now me and my sister have our own account: eliseandjenny09. So far, we have updated four videos! It's really not hard once you learn. And it's really cool to have your own video that you made be able to be seen by the entire world!!!!!!!!!!!!!Anyway, that's what's new with me and my awesome computer skills. ^_^
(yea, I learned how to make that face!)
Here are our videos so far!

Demi Lovato!
I've really come to like teen singer sensation Demi Lovato. She is a really talented young singer and actress who captures your heart.
She grew up in Texas and started doing pageants which inspired her acting career. She also was auditioning for a part on Barney in 1999 with long-time best friend Selena Gomez when they were 7. She got the part along with Selena (coincedence? I think not!!!). But when they were getting older and Barney "gave them the boot," Demi continued to work with modeling agencies and she took piano and guitar lessons.
Later, in 2006, Hollywood called: Selena was cast in Disney's "Wizards of Waverly Place" and moved to LA. This was a sad time for Demi. She had also auditioned for Disney, but didn't make the cut. Still, she was happy for her friend. This made their friendship even stronger. Demi and her family moved to LA with the Gomez's so she could audition for other roles there.
Demi's time came in 2007. After appearing on Disney's mini-show "As the Bell Rings," she scored the lead role in the Disney Channel original movie, "Camp Rock." She was opposite the Jonas Brothers and soon became considerably more famous among teens. After all that, she landed the lead role in Disney's show, "Sonny with a Chance."
Soon after, Demi started recording songs for her '08 debut album, "Don't Forget." Selena and Demi's friendship has stayed strong and they got to work together in the Disney Channel movie, "Princess Protection Program."
Today Demi's brand new CD, "Here We Go Again," came out in stores and on iTunes. The CD's title song came out first as a single, and I bought it and loved it. I bought four other songs from her CD and put them on my iPod already.
I love Demi's personality. She seems like a really fun person to be around. I can recognize her acting and musical talents easily as she performs. I think it would be really cool to go to one of her concerts. I hope you check out Demi Lovato.
I heart you Demi!! -Elise (special thanks to People magazine)

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
I went and saw the 6th Harry Potter movie on Saturday with my friend Lindsey, her parents, and my sister. It was a really good movie, and I enjoyed seeing it for the first time (I know that I will soon own it and be watching it over and over). The plot was slightly slower than the other movies, but it needed to be because of the increasing romance themes and the needed transitional period before the final two installments (yes, you heard me right-two. They are making two separate films of the seventh book. It's that complicated!). Still, the movie had just enough action and mystery that it did not become boring at all. Also, I liked the fact that there was a little more comedy added into the dialouge than before. The only component that I didn't care for, however, was the budding love between Ginny and Harry. It's not that they aren't lovely together, but the way they incorperated that love into the movie was much different than the book. In the book, their first kiss was after the final Quidditch match in which Gryffindor won. In the movie, it was a teeny, yet perfect kiss in the Room of Requirement. Also in the book, Harry explains to Ginny near the end that they cannot be together anymore because of what Harry plans to do in the next chapter of his series. He doesn't want to put her in any danger, and at first Ginny is hesitant to agree (duh) but then does. In the movie, there was no such dialouge and Ginny seemed to have been forgotten by the end of the film.
Still, I really enjoyed the movie. I recommend you watch it as well!

Sims!
In case you don't know, the Sims 2 is a interactive computer game where you can create your own people and their personalities. You can also create homes for them to live in. It's really fun to control your Sims and make them do whatever they need or whatever you want. My sister got the game while I was at church camp and we play on it so much now! I only have one family while she has 3.
Making your Sims is only half the fun. You give them a name, their looks, their clothes, and their personality before adding them to your family. Customizing your house is really fun too. Give them a huge pool, a karaoke machine, fire wallpaper, pinball machines, flat screen TVs, and so much more.
The world of Sims is very amusing. They all just want to be social and have fun. But they have a lot of things they need. You are in charge of getting them to the bathroom, giving them a shower, letting them eat, sleep, or have fun. If you don't, your Sims will become dreadfully cranky and may even collapse on the floor.
But all in all, Sims is a fun pastime for teens to do with friends or by themselves. I really enjoy it. My sister can hardly stay off!
PS- if you have a boy Sim, there will be a tinkling xylophone noise when they use the bathroom! It's hilarious!

Annoucing Baby Catherine and Carnegie Hall News for Lovely Meav
I am overjoyed for Meav as she celebrates the birth of her new baby daughter, Catherine, born in June. This is her second daughter. Her first is Anna, born in 2005. I wish her family joy, peace, and happiness and they celebrate the miracle of Catherine.
Also, Meav will be performing as a soloist in Carnegie Hall with the New York pops orchestra in March of 2010. She will be joined onstage by renowned tenor Ronan Tynan, violinist Liz Knowles and uileann piper Keiran O' Hare in a celebration of Irish music. This is a big opputunity, one that I'm glad Meav can have. She deserves it.

School's out for Summer
Yes, it's true. This is a good thing! I should be feeling blissful inside and jumping for joy...but instead I'm feeling kind of...sad.
And I know why, too. I am moving on to high school, and none of my really good friends will be there. I'll know that I'll meet new ones, but I can't help feeling that I will slowly lose all the really great friends I have made these past two years.
I will also very much miss Pacetti Bay and how much I enjoyed it there. It will always be a part of my heart, and I will always be a Wildcat inside. I will also miss my teachers. I had really good ones this year, and most of them I will never even see again.
So, all in all, I agree that summer will be fun. I'm trying to imagine all the great times I will have with my family and friends. But I can't get past all the bad stuff. And it's really really really annoying me. :(

Updates!
**6 More Days of School!!** School gets out on June tenth this year. I can't wait 'til all the fun end-of-the-year activities! 8th graders get their yearbooks two days early, we have a Cat Cash auction, we're watching a movie in the auditorium, and we have our formal banquet/dance!! I really am going to miss all my friends who are going off to Nease. I'll also miss all my awesome teachers. But if I don't move on, I'll never gain my future, right?
**New Story** Sorry I haven't mentioned this before (I'm already on page, like, sixty), but it's a really good story. The main charcter's name is Carrie. I can't explain the plot right now. More later.
**House Imporvements** Finally! We're about to have hardwood floors out in (any day now). After that, we're taking the boxwood bushes and moving them out behind the screen enclosure so you can see the front of our house better. We've also bought some new barstools, but we're still in need of some new family room furniture. We're re-doing our kid's retreat this summer, too. It's a lot to do, but we're finally starting to make good progress on it.
**Princess Protection Program** New Disney Channel Movie staring Selena Gomez (wizards of waverly place) and Demi Lovato (singer, Sonny with a chance). It airs at 8:00 eastern time on June 26. Thats 23 days! I hope we can watch it and that its good!
**Next Food Network Star** New summer season starts this Sunday, June 7th. I looove that show! Our family watches it like some people watch American Idol. I can't wait 'til it airs!
That's all for now. Again, I'll have more on that new story later. Bye!
